+### `dove create sys_update_set`
+
+`npx dove create <table>` inserts through the generic `createRecord` endpoint — except for `sys_update_set`. A plain insert lets ServiceNow default the set's `application` to the API session's current app, so `--scope` was silently ignored and the set landed in whatever scope the session was in (TenonHQ/Dovetail#231). Update sets therefore route through the atomic, scope-correct `createUpdateSet` server op (`POST /api/cadso/dovetail_core/createUpdateSet`) and the created set is read back: if its `application` does not match the requested scope the command exits non-zero, naming the requested vs. actual scope and the set's sys_id, so a mis-scoped set is never reported as success.
+
+- `--scope` decides the application. It is **required** with `--ci`; interactively it is confirmed in the summary.
+- Only `name` and `description` map onto the op; other `--field` values are ignored with a warning.
+- The set is created, not activated — use `npx dove switchUpdateSet --name "<name>" -s <scope>` (or `npx dove createUpdateSet`, which creates and activates in one step).
+
 ## Plugins
 
 Dovetail's build pipeline is plugin-driven. Each plugin is an npm package implementing `run(context, content, options) => Promise<PluginResults>`. Shipped plugins live in sibling packages (`@tenonhq/dovetail-typescript-plugin`, `-babel-plugin`, `-webpack-plugin`, `-sass-plugin`, `-eslint-plugin`, `-prettier-plugin`, `-babel-preset-servicenow`, `-babel-plugin-remove-modules`).

+// Tests for `dove create sys_update_set` (TenonHQ/Dovetail#231).
+//
+// A generic record insert into sys_update_set lets ServiceNow default
+// `application` to the API session's current app, so `--scope` was silently
+// ignored. `dove create` must instead:
+//   1. route sys_update_set through snClient.createUpdateSet with the resolved
+//      scope's sys_id — and NOT call the generic createRecord;
+//   2. read the set back and exit non-zero, naming requested vs. actual scope
+//      and the set sys_id, when the application does not match;
+//   3. require --scope for sys_update_set in --ci mode;
+//   4. leave every other table on the generic createRecord path.
+//
+// Everything is mocked — no instance is contacted.
