+ * RULE 3.1 rationale — criticality x frequency x stability x fallback.
+ *
+ * CRITICALITY: lowest band. This reads a PR's failed check-runs and their
+ *   annotations to print what broke. It is a DIAGNOSTIC, never a gate — the
+ *   command returns 0 even when it finds failures. A wrong answer costs a
+ *   contributor one confusing terminal read, never a merge decision.
+ * FREQUENCY: once per `instar dev:ci-failures <pr>` invocation, run by hand
+ *   against a red PR. No loop, no polling, no retry amplification.
+ * STABILITY: `gh --json` / the check-run annotations endpoint is GitHub's
+ *   documented machine-readable contract, requested with explicit fields —
+ *   not prose scraped from stdout. An upstream shape change surfaces as a `gh`
+ *   error or a parse failure, not as a silently reshaped object. Deterministic
+ *   parsing is acceptable here without a canary.
+ * FALLBACK: loud on every path, which is why this detector needs no partial
+ *   caveat. A non-zero `gh` exit rejects with the captured stderr; empty or
+ *   malformed stdout throws inside JSON.parse and rejects as "gh returned
+ *   non-JSON" (note there is no `|| \'null\'` default here, so empty output
+ *   cannot degrade into a successful-looking empty result); and every caller
+ *   catches, writes the reason via out.error, and returns exit 1. There is no
+ *   path on which a failed read renders as a clean one.

+ * RULE 3.1 rationale — criticality x frequency x stability x fallback.
+ *
+ * CRITICALITY: lowest band. This detector answers "is another PR or approved spec already
+ *   claiming these files?" before a build starts. It is ADVISORY — it never gates, blocks,
+ *   or decides. A wrong answer costs a duplicated build (the 2026-06-05 collision this
+ *   command exists to prevent), never a wrong verdict on someone else's change.
+ * FREQUENCY: once per `instar dev:claim-check` invocation, at build start. Not a hot path,
+ *   no loop, no retry amplification.
+ * STABILITY: the highest available for an external read. `gh --json <fields>` is GitHub
+ *   CLI's documented machine-readable contract, not prose scraped from stdout, and the
+ *   fields are requested explicitly — so an upstream format change surfaces as a `gh`
+ *   error rather than as a silently reshaped object. Deterministic parsing is therefore
+ *   acceptable here without a canary or an LLM check.
+ * FALLBACK: asymmetric, and the asymmetry is the reason this rationale is worth reading.
+ *   A THROWN error (gh missing, auth, network, malformed JSON) degrades LOUDLY — the
+ *   caller records `ghDegraded` and reports spec-scan-only, so the user knows the PR half
+ *   of the check did not run. But EMPTY stdout parses to `null`, which the caller's
+ *   `?? []` renders as "zero PRs claim these files" with no degradation flag: a check that
+ *   could not run becomes indistinguishable from one that ran clean. That path is narrow
+ *   (`gh pr list --json` emits `[]` on success, not empty) but real, and it is tracked
+ *   separately rather than papered over here.

+
+## What Changed
+
+`src/commands/devClaimCheck.ts` reads GitHub by running `gh` and parsing its `--json` output —
+textbook state detection under Rule 3 — but it entered `main` via #813 (2026-06-05) carrying
+neither of the two things Rule 3 requires: an in-file Rule 3.1 rationale and a state-detector
+registry row. Both are added here.
+
+It survived because the pre-commit Rule 3 gate evaluates **staged** files only, so a file that
+entered `main` without tripping the gate at its own commit time is never re-examined.
+
+That is not a cosmetic gap. A merge stages everything, so anyone merging `main` into an older
+branch is judged as the author of all of `main` and hits this refusal for a violation absent
+from their own diff — a hard blocker on locally refreshing older open PRs. It blocked exactly
+that work on 2026-07-28 and is the reason this was found at all.
+
+The registry row is deliberately **🟡 Partial rather than 🔵 Exempt**, unlike the neighbouring
+`gh --json` reads that are exempt on "versioned structured contract" reasoning. The difference
+is the fallback. A thrown error (gh missing, auth, network) degrades loudly — the caller sets
+`ghDegraded` and reports spec-scan-only. But empty stdout parses to `null`, and the caller's
+`?? []` renders that as "zero PRs claim these files" with no degradation flag: a check that
+could not run reading identically to one that ran clean. Narrow (`gh pr list --json` emits `[]`
+on success, not empty) and advisory-only, so the blast radius is a false all-clear on a
+pre-build hint — but it is named in both the rationale and the registry rather than papered
+over, and the row flips to Exempt once that path degrades as loudly as the throw path.
+
+Fixing the silent-empty path is a behaviour change and is tracked separately, not bundled into
+a comment-only commit.
+
+## What to Tell Your User
+
+Nothing. No user-visible change, no new command, no behaviour difference in any conversation.
+This is a documentation and registry fix to a contributor-facing CLI helper.
+
+## Summary of New Capabilities
+
+None. `instar dev:claim-check` behaves exactly as before — same flags, same output, same exit
+codes. The only functional effect is that `main` stops failing its own Rule 3 gate, which
+unblocks locally merging `main` into older branches.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- The violation was confirmed on `main`, not inferred: `grep -c "RULE 3"
+  src/commands/devClaimCheck.ts` on `origin/main` returns 0, and the file is absent from the
+  diff of the branch that hit the refusal.
+- The refusal is reproducible, and so is the fix: the same staged change was **blocked** by the
+  Rule 3 gate before the rationale comment, blocked again for the missing registry row after it,
+  and **passed** once both halves were present. Each verdict was observed, not predicted.
+- Comment-and-registry only — no statement, signature, export, or type is modified, so `tsc`
+  emits identical JS.
+- Side-effects review: `upgrades/side-effects/rule3-rationale-devclaimcheck.md`.
+- ELI16: `upgrades/rule3-rationale-devclaimcheck.eli16.md`.
+
+## Correction after opening: this was TWO files, not one
+
+The first version of this change covered only `devClaimCheck.ts` and claimed that unblocked merging
+`main` into an older branch. **That claim was false**, and an A/B test caught it: branching from a
+pre-#813 `main` commit and staging a merge of current `main` flagged **two** files —
+`devCiFailures.ts` as well. Fixing one of two blockers unblocks nothing.
+
+`devCiFailures.ts` now carries its own rationale and registry row. It is marked **🔵 Exempt** rather
+than Partial, because unlike its sibling every failure path is loud: a non-zero `gh` exit rejects
+with captured stderr, and its `JSON.parse(stdout)` carries no `|| 'null'` default, so empty output
+throws rather than degrading into a successful-looking empty result.
+
+**How the check nearly fooled me.** My first A/B run reported the fixed side PASSING — but the merge
+had failed (a ref I had not fetched), so nothing was staged and the checker exited 0 over an empty
+file list. A vacuous pass is indistinguishable from a real one unless you assert the check had input.
+The re-run prints staged counts: 7,499 files / 905 `src/*.ts` on the failing side, and refuses to
+read 0 staged files as a pass.

+# ELI16 — the missing rationale that was blocking old pull requests
+
+There is a rule in this repo (Rule 3.1) that says: if your code looks at some outside system
+to figure out what state it's in, you have to write a short paragraph explaining *why it's OK*
+to detect it that way. Four questions: how much damage does a wrong answer do, how often does
+this run, how likely is the outside thing to change shape on you, and what happens when it
+fails.
+
+A pre-commit check enforces that rule. But it only inspects the files you are committing
+*right now*. So a file that slipped into `main` without ever tripping the check is never
+looked at again.
+
+That's what happened to `src/commands/devClaimCheck.ts`. It arrived in June, it reads GitHub
+by running `gh` and parsing the JSON that comes back — textbook state detection — and it has
+no rationale at all.
+
+**Why that stopped being merely untidy.** Merging `main` into an older branch stages *every
+file in main*. Git then treats you as the author of all of it, so the check inspects the whole
+thing, finds this file, and refuses your commit — for a violation you did not write and cannot
+see in your own diff. Anyone trying to bring an old pull request up to date walks into it. It
+blocked me last night.
+
+**The change is one comment.** It adds the rationale that should have been there in June.
+
+The one part worth reading is the "what happens when it fails" answer, because it is not
+flattering. If `gh` genuinely breaks — missing, not logged in, no network — the tool says so
+out loud and tells you it only managed to scan the specs. Good. But if `gh` returns *nothing
+at all*, that empty result quietly becomes "zero pull requests claim these files", with no
+warning. A check that could not run ends up looking exactly like a check that ran and found
+everything clear.
+
+That path is narrow, and this change does not fix it. It writes it down instead of leaving it
+unmentioned, and it is tracked separately. A rationale that only lists reassuring facts is
+worth very little — the point of the rule is to surface the part someone should worry about.
+
+No behaviour changes. Nothing runs differently.
+
+
+## Correction after opening: this was TWO files, not one
+
+The first version of this change covered only `devClaimCheck.ts` and claimed that unblocked merging
+`main` into an older branch. **That claim was false**, and an A/B test caught it: branching from a
+pre-#813 `main` commit and staging a merge of current `main` flagged **two** files —
+`devCiFailures.ts` as well. Fixing one of two blockers unblocks nothing.
+
+`devCiFailures.ts` now carries its own rationale and registry row. It is marked **🔵 Exempt** rather
+than Partial, because unlike its sibling every failure path is loud: a non-zero `gh` exit rejects
+with captured stderr, and its `JSON.parse(stdout)` carries no `|| 'null'` default, so empty output
+throws rather than degrading into a successful-looking empty result.
+
+**How the check nearly fooled me.** My first A/B run reported the fixed side PASSING — but the merge
+had failed (a ref I had not fetched), so nothing was staged and the checker exited 0 over an empty
+file list. A vacuous pass is indistinguishable from a real one unless you assert the check had input.
+The re-run prints staged counts: 7,499 files / 905 `src/*.ts` on the failing side, and refuses to
+read 0 staged files as a pass.

+# Side-effects review — Rule 3.1 rationale for `devClaimCheck`'s gh detector
+
+**Change:** one doc-comment added above `defaultGhJson` in `src/commands/devClaimCheck.ts`.
+23 lines, comment-only. No statement, expression, signature, export, or type is modified.
+
+## What the change can affect
+
+| Surface | Effect | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| Runtime behaviour | **None** | A block comment. `tsc` emits identical JS; no code path is reachable through it. |
+| Public API / CLI | **None** | `dev:claim-check` flags, output, and exit codes are untouched. |
+| Tests | **None expected** | No test asserts on this file's source text. |
+| The Rule 3 pre-commit gate | **Intended change** | This file stops being a violation. Verified: the gate refused this exact commit before the comment and accepted it after. |
+| Other repos / migration | **None** | Not an agent-installed file, no config default, no template, no hook. Migration Parity does not apply. |
+| Multi-machine posture | **N/A** | No state surface introduced. |
+
+## The risk worth naming
+
+The change is safe. The thing it *documents* is not, and I want that visible rather than
+buried in a comment.
+
+`JSON.parse(stdout || 'null')` resolves `null` on empty stdout. The caller's
+`(await ghJson(...)) as ClaimPr[] ?? []` turns that into an empty array, and an empty array is
+indistinguishable from "no open PR claims these files". Meanwhile a *thrown* error is handled
+properly — it sets `ghDegraded` and the tool reports spec-scan-only.
+
+So the loud path is loud and the quiet path is silently clean. That is the failure shape the
+constitution calls out directly: a check that cannot run must not be indistinguishable from
+one that ran clean.
+
+**Not fixed here, deliberately.** Fixing it means changing behaviour (treating empty stdout as
+a degradation), which deserves its own review and its own tests. Bundling it into a
+comment-only change would hide a behaviour change inside a documentation commit. It is filed
+separately.
+
+**Reachability:** narrow. `gh pr list --json` emits `[]` on success, not empty output. It
+would take a `gh` build that exits 0 while writing nothing, or truncated output. Low
+likelihood, and the consequence is a false all-clear on an advisory tool — not a wrong gate
+verdict.
+
+## Rollback
+
+`git revert`. Nothing depends on it; reverting restores the pre-existing violation and with it
+the merge blocker.
+
+## What I verified rather than assumed
+
+- The file is `main`'s, not the PR's — it arrived via #813 (`144ff6122`, 2026-06-05) and is
+  absent from the branch diff.
+- `main`'s copy carries zero `RULE 3` markers (`grep -c` → 0).
+- The refusal is real and reproducible: the same staged commit was blocked before the comment
+  and passed the Rule 3 check after it.
+- The fallback asymmetry is read from the code, not inferred — `catch` at the call site sets
+  `ghDegraded`; the `?? []` at lines 197/201 absorbs `null` with no flag.
