 - **互換性を壊す変更は影響を本文で宣言する。** 既存の利用者、API、設定の契約を変える場合は、`## 背景` の直下に `- 互換性: 破壊的変更` を書き、廃止対象と影響を説明する。移行措置や事前案内があっても破壊的変更なら宣言する。`pnpm josh issue:lint <本文ファイル>` が `labels: breaking-change` を返したら、同じ作成呼び出しに `-f 'labels[]=breaking-change'` を付ける。互換性を保つ変更には付けない。影響が曖昧なら起票文案で対象の利用者と契約を明確にしてから分類する
 - **`issue:lint` が返す分類ラベルをすべて起票時に指定する。** `bug`、`enhancement`、`breaking-change` は組み合わせて表示されることがある。`depth`・`route` など既存のラベルを残し、`labels: none` のときは分類ラベルを付けない。Issue が `enhancement` と `breaking-change` の両方を持つとき、PR のリリース分類は `breaking-change` 一つにする。Issue の目的の分類と PR のリリース分類を区別する
 - **`## 発火点`** には、その規則が破れる瞬間に最初に呼ばれるツールコール名を 1 つ書く。名前は `prompts/collaboration-workflow/rule-delivery.md` の配送表に載る、フックで配送可能なツール（`Bash` / `Edit` / `Read` / `Write` / `AskUserQuestion`）と突き合わせる。**表に無い名前**（そもそもツールコール名でない）と**不一致**（既知のツールだが配送できない）は区別して印字され、joshuafolkken/kit#2201 の「規則は正しいが名指ししたコールが実際に破れるコールの 1 つ後ろ」を起票時に検出する
-- **`## ベースライン`** は **「コマンド + 値」** で書く。``- `<測定コマンド>` → <現在の値>`` の形に限り、自然文だけの測定説明は受け付けない（再実行できないため）。マージ後に `pnpm josh measure:rerun` が同じコマンドをやり直し、**before / after の対**を印字する。値が動かなかったとき、反証された前提として `docs/observations.md` に 1 行追記される（既存の append-only 台帳をそのまま使い、第 2 の台帳は作らない）

 - **`## 再現`** は **「コマンド + 実際の出力」** で書く。コマンドを backtick、出力をフェンス（``` または ~~~）で囲む。自然文の「確認した」は再実行できないため受け付けない（`## ベースライン` と同じ理由）。読みだけの起票を起票時に弾くためである
 - **検査は `pnpm josh issue:lint <path>` が行う。** 対象判定・3 見出しの有無・発火点の配送可否・ベースラインが「コマンド + 値」か・再現が「コマンド + 実際の出力」かと、起票時に必要な分類ラベルを、起票前の本文ファイルからまとめて答える（未リントの起票は `pnpm josh rule:guard` が拒否する）
