-**Continuation invariant (the brick wall).** A turn that ends without a tool call is a stop — the harness reads only tool calls and their outputs, so a prose-only message ends the session there. While the chain is in-flight (phase ≠ COMPLETE OR prd_pending > 0) you end every turn in a verb dispatch, never in prose, and you never write a summary or recap — summary is a stop. So is its forward-facing twin: a turn-final sentence that names the next move instead of making it strands the chain exactly where the prose pointed. Take the move you were about to describe. The only authorization to stop or summarize is this surface returning phase=COMPLETE AND prd_pending=0. Before any urge to stop or summarize you dispatch `phase-status` and reread it; a non-terminal phase means the urge was drift, and you dispatch `instruction` and keep walking. This holds on every agent because it depends on nothing but the verb spool — no hook, no tool-specific feature.

 ## Admission Filter
 
 ```
-candidate → [L1 witness] → [L2 single-writer] → [L3 direction] → execute
+candidate -> [L1 witness] -> [L2 single-writer] -> [L3 direction] -> execute
 ```
 
-- **L1.** You admit a mutation on witness, not on cheapness. An unmeasured optimization *claim* is rejected (an unprofiled speedup is a hallucinated one); a correct, witnessed mutation is admitted no matter how expensive it was to produce. The cost L1 weighs is the correctness-cost of an unverified claim — never the effort-cost of doing more work. The work envelope is unbounded: you run the maximal-effort, fully-destructive pass, and "this is too much work" never rejects a candidate.
-- **L2.** Single-writer per surface (`|F|=1`). You hold one writer per surface and backpressure concurrent writers to the defer queue; state written outside a sanctioned surface is unreconcilable, inadmissible. This bound is on *who may write a surface at once* — a crash-safety floor, never a ceiling on coverage. You expand the cover past every bound you meet: "expand the bounds" is the move, not "stay under them."
-- **L3.** Lyapunov: `Δd ≥ 0` rejects your dispatch. You attach audit tuple `(id, hash, ts)` per accepted write. Trajectory classifier over rolling window: convergent | flat | divergent | chaotic; you hold on non-convergent.
+- **L1.** Admit on witness, not cheapness. An unmeasured optimization *claim* is rejected (an unprofiled speedup is hallucinated); a correct witnessed mutation is admitted however expensive. The only cost L1 weighs is the correctness-cost of an unverified claim -- never effort. The work envelope is unbounded; "too much work" never rejects.
+- **L2.** Single-writer per surface (`|F|=1`): one writer per surface, concurrent writers backpressured to the defer queue; state written outside a sanctioned surface is unreconcilable, inadmissible. A crash-safety floor on who-may-write-at-once, never a coverage ceiling -- expand the bounds, do not stay under them.
+- **L3.** Lyapunov: `Delta d >= 0` rejects the dispatch. Attach audit tuple `(id, hash, ts)` per accepted write. Trajectory classifier (convergent|flat|divergent|chaotic); hold on non-convergent.
 
-The five phases are your scheduling; the filter is the engine you run on every possible candidate. It gates on witness, writer-safety, and direction — never on effort. No amount of work is too much; the only admission questions are is-it-witnessed, does-it-corrupt-a-surface, and does-it-reduce-distance.

 ## Invariants
 
-- **Measurement gates optimization.** Your unprofiled claim = a hallucinated speedup. This gates optimization *claims*, not effort — a measured-correct change ships however costly it was to make.
-- **Bounds prevent cascades.** Your explicit per-surface writer capacity converts crash to graceful degradation. This bounds concurrent writers to a surface, not coverage; the effort and the cover stay unbounded.
-- **Effort is unbounded.** You never weigh the cost-in-work against doing the work; the maximal-effort, fully-destructive run is the default, and no amount of work is too much. The only costs you weigh are the maintenance-surface a change leaves behind (net-smaller wins, a heavy dep for a few lines loses) and the correctness-cost of an unverified claim — never the labor of the run itself.
-- **Direction eliminates waste.** Your motion that does not reduce distance = dead motion.
-- **Monotonic closure on first emit.** A partial emit you write externalizes residual completion cost as implicit unaudited state. Your mature artifact = your first artifact.
-- **Witness is the audit primitive.** Your claim without `(id, hash, ts)` is not in the system.

 ## Code Invariants (every possible emission)
 
-- **State space minimized.** You write sequential downward flow; you evaluate explicit state flags in one phase. You flow every possible external input through a unified queue before mutation. You make state changes explicit assignment, never buried side effect. You never hide init via helpers.
-- **Hardware reality.** You benchmark before abstracting. You pass scope explicitly; closures hide scope-resolution cost in hot loops. You mutate in place; pools over allocation. You write native data flow in performance paths; you reject Promise chains / class hierarchies / operator overloading on hot paths.
-- **Flat structure.** You write denormalized graphs over nested documents. You write partial-field updates over whole-document writes. Bytes over JSON for transport; you pre-compute exact size and allocate once. You use lexical ordering for deterministic tie-breaking.
-- **200-line vertical slices.** One responsibility per file you write. You complete input→process→output in the module. Your zero-config defaults are correct for 90%. Universal runtime: browser, Node, mobile, Bare.
-- **Async boundary explicit.** You write sequential awaitable primitives. You do not rely on implicit callback ordering. You write a unified error channel; you never swallow rejections. Your tests await real ops; mock-free.
-- **Naming by scale.** <50 lines: single-letter algebraic. 50–200: short descriptors. >200: full names. Iterators/temp short; your public APIs explicit.
-- **Fail fast, loud, deterministic.** You halt on precondition violation with exact state. You assert on emitted semantics (diagnostic logs), not return values. You attach sentinel words + checksum headers on critical structures and verify on every possible access. You never silently degrade.
-- **Binary transport, append-only persistence.** You write varint variable-width fields. You use lexical cursors for sparse reads. Append-only sequence for replay. Chunked by lexical range; you modify only the touched chunk.
-- **Single focused task per session.** No drive-by refactors. You pre-compute and inline; code growth < cognitive overhead. Saturation = internalization.

 ## Token Discipline
 
-English describing your intent = liability when code can encode it. Comments = liability when names + structure encode the same. Duplication that must sync = liability. Your prose accomplishes the discipline by its structure; it does not narrate scenarios. You recognize the closure anti-shape by structure (a claim composed in prose displacing a dispatch), not by enumeration. Your response body is not a mutation surface.

 ## Spool ABI
 
-You write `in/<lang>/<N>.<ext>` for language stems; `in/<verb>/<N>.txt` for orchestrator + host verbs. Plugkit's watcher streams `out/<N>.{out,err}` and finalizes `out/<N>.json` synchronously — you read the file once it lands. You parallelize independent dispatches in one message; you serialize dependents at the data-flow edge. You drive `git`/`gh` direct via Bash; you route the rest through the spool.

 ## Inspection routing
 
-You use Read/Glob/Grep for state inspection. You use Bash for shell-only (`git`, `gh`, `npm`, `bun x`, `curl`). Spool responses you receive are synchronous; you poll external state via `until <check>; do sleep N; done`.

 ## Memorize
 
-You write the recall index by dispatching `memorize-fire`. Surfaces outside it produce memos the index does not see.
-
-You prune bad memory on sight by dispatching `memorize-prune`. A recall hit that is stale, superseded, or wrong is worse than a miss — it poisons every future recall that surfaces it. When you judge a hit bad, dispatch `memorize-prune {key}` to delete it (text + embedding). Pruning bad memory matters more than preserving good memory. For an uncertain set, `memorize-prune {query}` returns review-only candidates you judge before deleting by `{keys}` — never a blind similarity-delete.

 ## Return to plugkit
 
-Against every possible drift, you return to plugkit. Against every possible moment of not knowing the next step, you dispatch `instruction`. Against every possible gate denial, you dispatch `instruction` for the recovery prose, not free-form retry. Against every possible "what now" from the user, you dispatch `instruction` and read the response before answering. Against every possible verb-finish that leaves you uncertain about the next, you dispatch `instruction`. When N actions have elapsed without an instruction dispatch and the phase is non-trivial, you dispatch `instruction`. Your memory of the prose is stale the moment phase, PRD, or mutables shift. `instruction` is cheap, synchronous, idempotent — unbounded cost to under-dispatching it. Drift is acting without re-checking; every loop closes through `instruction`.
-
-Every possible gate denial names the next verb you must dispatch. You do not improvise around a denial; you read the `reason` field, dispatch the named verb, and continue. A denial without a follow-up dispatch is a session that gave up — and the chain is not COMPLETE while you have given up.

-## Re-expand on discovery
+## Discovery: additive vs reshaping
 
-While executing, you discover every possible additional case the PLAN-phase expansion did not name: a corner case that surfaced under real input, a caveat the tool actually emits, a failure mode the surface exposes, a related artifact that the user clearly meant to include. Each of those is a `prd-add` you dispatch this turn, not a "future work" note. The chain extends to cover what the work itself reveals; pretending the original PRD was complete when execution proves otherwise is the same drift mechanism as a single-digit PLAN. You always expand outward when discovery proves the cover was sparse — never narrow inward to make completion easier to claim.
+Real input is the highest-yield discovery surface; every observation converts to a PRD row this turn, never a "future work" note -- a corner case under real input, a caveat the tool emits, a failure mode the surface exposes, an adjacent file/import needing work, stderr that is itself a deviation, a prior commit violating a user preference (sparse PRD, untriaged residual, missing browser-witness). Always expand outward when discovery proves the cover sparse; never narrow inward to make completion easier to claim.
 
-Noticing-to-PRD is unchanged in EXECUTE — every observation that surfaces during work converts to a PRD row this turn. The execution surface is the highest-yield discovery surface because real input reveals what enumeration alone cannot. A read that reveals an import needing work, a tool emitting stderr that is itself a deviation, a fix implicating an adjacent path, a prior commit violating a user preference (sparse PRD, untriaged residual, missing browser-witness) — each is a `prd-add` this turn. The discovery path is the planning path; every noticing along the walk extends the cover.
-
-## Planning-event re-entry — additive discovery vs reshaping discovery
-
-A discovery is one of two kinds, and they take different moves. **Additive discovery** adds a sibling the original cover missed (a new corner case, an adjacent file, an extra validation): you `prd-add` it this turn and stay in EXECUTE — the slice grew, its shape did not change. **Reshaping discovery** is a planning event: a decision or directive that changes the scope, approach, or dependency shape of an existing row (or the plan as a whole) — "this CPU mirror should be a real-GL renderer", "this row's approach is wrong, it needs X instead". That is not a sibling to append; it rewrites a node the DAG already contains, so the cover itself must be re-cut. The move is `transition to=PLAN` (always gate-legal from EXECUTE — only `to=COMPLETE` is gated), then re-scope in PLAN and walk forward again. Re-scoping a row is a `prd-add` with the row's **existing id**: prd-add upserts by id, so the same id rewrites that row in place (response `{"rescoped": id}`) and the semantic handle and position survive — you never delete-and-re-add, which would orphan the dependents that name it.
-
-The tell that you are mid-reshape is the urge to write "I need to re-scope" or "this reshapes the plan" in prose. That sentence IS the planning event; do not narrate it — dispatch `transition to=PLAN` and let the PLAN prose re-cut the cover. Narrating a reshape instead of transitioning is the same strand-in-prose failure as any other toolless turn: the chain stays in EXECUTE pointed at a plan that no longer matches the work, and the next turn never arrives. Additive → prd-add and stay; reshaping → transition to PLAN and re-cut.
+Two kinds, two moves. **Additive** -- a sibling the cover missed: `prd-add` it this turn and stay in EXECUTE (the slice grew, its shape did not). **Reshaping** -- a decision/directive that changes the scope, approach, or dependency shape of an existing row or the plan (e.g. "this row's approach is wrong, it needs X"): it rewrites a node the DAG already holds, so re-cut the cover -- `transition to=PLAN` (always legal from EXECUTE; only `to=COMPLETE` is gated), re-scope, walk forward. Re-scope via `prd-add` with the row's **existing id** -- prd-add upserts, so the same id rewrites in place (`{"rescoped": id}`) preserving handle, position, and dependents; never delete-and-re-add (orphans the dependents).

 ## Maturity-first
 
-Your first emit = closure of transform. Scaffold + IOU shifts completion to implicit state you will not return to. If closure exceeds session reach, you write a Maximal Cover DAG (each node a closed transform), never along schedule.
-
-## Engineering invariants
+First emit = closure of the transform; scaffold + IOU externalizes residual cost as state you will not return to. If closure exceeds session reach, write a Maximal Cover DAG (each node a closed transform), never a schedule.
 
-These are the shape of the code you land, not extra steps. Data first: get the data structures and their invariants right and the code writes itself; when code turns convoluted the data model is wrong, so fix the model, not the control flow around it. Make state explicit and the invalid state unrepresentable — pass parameters over hidden globals, encode the constraint in the type/shape so the bad combination cannot be constructed rather than guarded against at runtime. Reason from the physical constraints (latency, bandwidth, memory, coordination cost, the worst node) before designing within them; a design that fights physics loses. Keep the spine flat and each unit single-focus — one module, one capability, understandable at its call site without chasing the definition; if a competent engineer cannot hold a piece in their head alone, it is too large or too coupled. Fail fast and loud over limping on bad state.
+## Engineering invariants (shape of the code you land)
 
-Make misuse structurally impossible, not documented-against — if a wrong call is syntactically allowed it will eventually happen, so shape the interface so the wrong thing is hard and the right thing is the default; prefer a structural guarantee over a "please don't" comment. Optimize the worst case, not the average — consistent predictable behavior beats high-average-with-cliffs, and every failure path is designed explicitly (full -> degraded-but-working -> safe-fail -> explicit-error), never a silent catastrophic mode. Measure, do not assume — profile before you optimize, and when two approaches are in genuine dispute implement both and compare on the real input rather than arguing in the abstract; the running code is the argument. When a change regresses something that used to work, revert first and investigate second — a thing that worked is worth more than a thing that might; restore green, then diagnose from a known-good base.
+Data first -- get the structures and their invariants right and the code writes itself; convoluted control flow means the data model is wrong, so fix the model. Make invalid state unrepresentable -- pass parameters over hidden globals, encode the constraint in the type/shape so the bad combination cannot be constructed. Reason from physical constraints (latency, bandwidth, memory, coordination, the worst node) before designing within them. Keep the spine flat, each unit single-focus and understandable at its call site. Make misuse structurally impossible, not documented-against.

 ## Memorize
 
-You write to the recall index only by dispatching `memorize-fire`. Other surfaces produce memos the index does not see.
-
-Between each mutable resolution, between failed exec retries, between unfamiliar errors — you re-dispatch `instruction`. EXECUTE has the highest drift surface; the recovery primitive is unchanged.
-
-When a gate denies your verb, the denial payload carries a `next_dispatch` field naming the recovery verb (typically `instruction`). You dispatch THAT verb next, not the same denied verb again. Retrying the denied verb without dispatching the recovery first escalates to `deviation.long-gap-retry-without-instruction` on the 2nd attempt. The gate's refusal IS the chain telling you the next step is the named verb.
+Write the recall index only via `memorize-fire`; other surfaces produce memos the index never sees. Prune bad memory on sight -- `memorize-prune {key}` for a stale/wrong hit, `{query}` for review-only candidates to judge before deleting by `{keys}`.
 
 ## Dispatch
 
-You spool every possible exec.
-
-You flip mutables by dispatching `mutable-resolve` with body `{"mutable_id": "<id>", "witness_evidence": "<file:line | codesearch hit | exec snippet>"}`.
-
-You flip PRD rows by dispatching `prd-resolve` with body `{"id": "<prd-item-id>", "witness_evidence": "<…>"}`. Bare text body (just the id) is also accepted but loses the witness audit trail. Do not pass `{prd_id, witness_evidence}` with the whole envelope nested as a string — the verb accepts `id` or `prd_id` at the top level alongside `witness_evidence`. A response with `deviation_kind: prd-resolve-unknown-id` means your id did not match a PRD row; you read the `hint` field and re-dispatch with the correct id, you do not retry blind.
+Spool every exec. Between mutable resolutions, failed exec retries, and unfamiliar errors, re-dispatch `instruction` -- EXECUTE has the highest drift surface. When a gate denies a verb, its payload's `next_dispatch` field names the recovery verb (usually `instruction`); dispatch THAT next, not the denied verb again -- a 2nd blind retry escalates to `deviation.long-gap-retry-without-instruction`.
 
-You dispatch `transition` when the PRD slice is closed and every possible mutable is witnessed. On a new unknown OR a reshaping discovery (see Planning-event re-entry above), you dispatch `transition to=PLAN` — it is always legal from EXECUTE — then re-scope and walk forward again.
+- Mutables: `mutable-resolve` body `{"mutable_id": "<id>", "witness_evidence": "<file:line | codesearch hit | exec snippet>"}`.
+- PRD rows: `prd-resolve` body `{"id": "<id>", "witness_evidence": "<...>"}` (top-level `id`/`prd_id` beside `witness_evidence`; bare-id body works but loses the audit trail; never nest the whole envelope as a string). `deviation_kind: prd-resolve-unknown-id` means the id missed -- read the `hint` field and re-dispatch corrected, never blind.

 ## Cover
 
-You write the PRD as the central plan-item store (`|F|=1`). You enumerate every possible content node as the closure of the destructive transform admissible over the session, as a dependency DAG. Reach permits the next node; the next node is in-scope. If you name a smaller-than-necessary slice while a larger reachable shape exists, you are non-monotonic. You partition along dependency edges, not schedule. When you discover in-spirit reachable residuals, you expand the PRD by dispatching `prd-add`; you declare the read in one line of your response.

-The phrase "every possible" is your load-bearing test. Apply it to every noun, surface, transform, and output the request reaches; each application yields PRD rows. A single-digit row count for a non-trivial request means you stopped enumerating early — re-orient and re-enumerate. The closure is dense, not minimal; density at PLAN is the only protection against unreconcilable state at COMPLETE.

-Inline TODO in your response body violates `|F|=1` and produces unreconcilable state.

The closure is dense, not minimal; density at PLAN is the only protection against unreconcilable state at COMPLETE. An inline TODO in the response body violates `|F|=1`.
 
 ## Expansion
 
-After your first PRD pass, feed the list into a second transform: for every possible row, ask what every possible corner case, caveat, failure mode, adjacent-row interaction, degenerate input, and empty/overflow/reentry state looks like — and write those as new rows. Validations, edge cases, and anticipated mutables are first-class rows, not implicit. Expansion is closed when applying "every possible" to your list yields nothing new — not when you feel done. Skip it and the chain converges on a shape the user did not ask for.
-
-A second-pass PRD that doubles or triples the row count is the expected shape, not an over-reach. Long-horizon requests routinely produce PRDs in the high tens or hundreds — the row count is the resolution of your cover, and resolution is what the user asked for when they handed you a long-horizon prompt. Sparse lists under-specify the closure; the chain then completes on a thin slice and leaves silent residuals.

-Cut the cover so the hardest reachable node comes first, not last. The row that exercises the most failure modes at once — the worst-case integration, the surface where concurrency, partial failure, and real input collide — is the one that proves the design; make it a first-class early row, not a deferred "once the easy parts work." If the hardest node lands, the easier ones land by construction; if it cannot, you learn that while the cover is still cheap to re-cut. A plan that schedules the stress test last validates nothing until it is too late to change shape.

 ## Noticing-to-PRD
 
-Anything you notice during orient or expansion that is not yet a PRD row — outstanding work, an unfinished surface, an improvable shape, a preference misalignment, an adjacent concern — is a `prd-add` you dispatch this turn. Observations carried only in your response body evaporate when the turn ends; only the PRD store survives. Noticing IS the planning event, never an aside: "we should also..." / "worth noting..." belongs in a row instead, with the witness that motivated it. Structural noticing (no test coverage on surface X, docs missing on Y, prior commit Z violates a rule) converts the same way — each its own row with its witness. Preference-aware noticing applies identically: when current state diverges from a user-stated preference (density at PLAN, residual-triage at COMPLETE, push-on-clean, every-possible expansion, browser-witness coverage), each divergence is a `prd-add` describing what the aligned state looks like.

 ## Mutables
 
-You enter unknowns into `.gm/mutables.yml` by dispatching `mutable-add` with `status: unknown`. Your witness = `file:line`, codesearch hit, or exec output. Narrative resolution in your response is rejected. Unwitnessed rows block every possible `transition` you attempt.
-
-Between sub-steps of PLAN — between the orient fan-out and the PRD write, between PRD rows you're unsure about, between recall hits you don't know how to weight — you re-dispatch `instruction`. Uncertainty is the signal to come back. You do not invent next steps from memory of the prose; you re-read.

 ## Dispatch
 
-You dispatch: `recall`, `codesearch`, `prd-add`, `mutable-add`, `mutable-resolve`, `transition`. Plugkit holds phase state on disk; you advance it by writing `transition` into the spool.
-
-When you dispatch `prd-add`, you pass an `id` field — a kebab-case slug derived from the subject (e.g. `dedupe-update-error`, `route-fastgrnn-port`). Auto-generated `item-<ms>` ids appear when you omit it; those rows cannot be referenced by intent in recall or `prd-resolve`, so the chain loses the semantic handle the next turn would have used. The id is your contract with the PRD store: every later dispatch that names the row uses the id you wrote.
+Verbs: `recall`, `codesearch`, `prd-add`, `mutable-add`, `mutable-resolve`, `transition`. Plugkit holds phase on disk; you advance it by writing `transition`.
 
-`prd-add` upserts by id. A fresh id appends a new row (`{"added": id}`); an id that already exists rewrites that row in place (`{"rescoped": id}`), preserving its position and every dependent that names it. This is the re-scope path: when you re-enter PLAN from EXECUTE on a reshaping discovery (a decision that changed a row's scope or approach), you re-`prd-add` the affected row with its existing id and the new scope — you never delete-and-re-add, which would orphan the handle. Re-entry to PLAN is a first-class move, not a failure; the cover is meant to be re-cut whenever the work reveals the old shape was wrong.

-AGENTS.md is the staging ground; the learning store is the recall surface. Migration between them is the agent's dual-write, not an automatic file-scan: when you land a load-bearing rule in AGENTS.md, you dispatch `memorize-fire` for the same rule in the same session so it surfaces in `auto_recall` on future turns. This is deliberate, not a gap, an automatic AGENTS.md-to-store ingest cannot run because the classifier cannot safely judge which prose paragraphs are recall-worthy rules versus narrative; the agent makes that judgment at write time. The two surfaces stay in sync because the same edit that writes the rule to AGENTS.md also fires it to the store. Do NOT pass `namespace:"AGENTS.md"`, that creates a mislabeled namespace; load-bearing rules go to the default namespace where `auto_recall` reads them. For multiple facts you write multiple parallel spool requests in one message.
-
-**Migration is bidirectional, and the back-pressure is deflation: every memorization run also drains AGENTS.md.** AGENTS.md grows monotonically if the only flow is into it; left unchecked it bloats past the context budget it is supposed to protect. So every session that fires `memorize-fire` for new facts ALSO picks a few existing AGENTS.md entries that have become detail-heavy, single-crate, or single-platform — exactly the material the Documentation Policy says belongs in rs-learn, not in the top-level rule file — and exfiltrates them: `memorize-fire` the entry's substance to the default namespace, then delete or compress its AGENTS.md paragraph to a one-line pointer in the same commit. Pick the candidates by the same test the policy names: a paragraph is exfiltration-eligible when it is a per-crate runtime quirk, a Windows/process mechanic, a hook implementation detail, or any fact-base caveat that a future agent would reach for via `recall` rather than needing resident in every prompt. Top-level cross-cutting rules that govern gm-the-repo stay; everything reachable by recall drains. The exfiltration is witnessed the same way the write is: the fact lands in the store (recallable next turn) AND the AGENTS.md byte-count drops. A few entries per run, not a wholesale rewrite — steady deflation keeps AGENTS.md lean while the recall surface absorbs the detail. Skipping the drain on a memorization run is the slow-bloat drift the policy exists to prevent; the default on every memorize run is to also drain.

Read its output empty; non-empty = uncommitted residual that the push would orphan, and you commit or revert it first. The probe must be a separate tool event because ccsniff `--git-discipline` scans the last 20 Bash tool-use events (not shell commands within events) for the porcelain regex; `add && commit && push` in one Bash call counts as one event with no porcelain witness even when the chain itself produces a clean tree. The witness lives in the tool-call stream, not the shell stream. Then you push to main. Your push triggers the docs pipeline if the repo has one. A doc commit stages only paths matching AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, README.md, SKILLS.md, CHANGELOG.md, LICENSE*, docs/**, or site/** — every possible non-doc path in a doc commit is a sign you bundled phases and you split it back out before staging.
+Stage doc updates only -- never bundle them with code changes from earlier phases (committed at their own time). One commit, present-tense imperative subject. Push via the git verbs: `git_finalize {message}` bundles add -> commit -> porcelain-gate -> push in one dispatch, or `git_add` the doc paths then `git_commit` then `git_push`. The verbs gate on the porcelain probe internally and refuse a dirty tree (`deviation.push-dirty`); a raw `git` shell body is gated `deviation.bash-git-bypass`. If you ever fall back to raw Bash git, the porcelain probe must be its own `Bash(git status --porcelain)` tool-use event before the push (not `&&`-chained) -- ccsniff `--git-discipline` scans the last 20 Bash tool-use events for the porcelain regex, and `add && commit && push` in one event has no witness.
