 # Changelog
 
+## v7.38.1 - 2026-10-28
+
+### Changed
+
+- Amendment-aftermath `plan_check` and baseline failures attributable to the batch's edits become at most two retry items in that same batch, with the spec's amend grant controlling automatic apply; unrelated failures, protected paths, exhausted retries, and repeated evidence retain their existing stops, and only eligible tracked paths named by an attributable dirtied-source row receive a narrow orchestrator restore, not general implement-phase cleanup.
+
+## v7.38.0 - 2026-10-28
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Breaking:** `shape-ticket` sibling configuration now accepts clone URLs in `- sibling: <clone url>` lines under `## shape-ticket`. Replace relative paths with clone URLs; path values are rejected with `not a clone url`. Siblings are expected beside the primary checkout under the repository name. Missing or wrong siblings remain report-only and never block; missing siblings include a clone hint, which is never executed.

Dispatch `plan-writer` per `writing-plans` `## Author the plan` step 3 with an `Amend:` block naming the amended spec sections, an `In-flight:` list of those paths (the parent supplies the set; the child never infers it), and the rule "preserve every task title and wave position the amendment does not touch; edit only affected anchors and tasks", then run that section's steps 5-6 (the parent `plan_check` and its branches).
+
+At that return point, classify human-facing outcomes with this table; let writing-plans' first `Findings:` repair run as written.
+
+| Outcome | Enter the attribution check |
+|---|---|
+| Second identical `plan_check` FAIL | compare the FAIL lines and their quoted plan text |
+| First `- Task N: ... fails on <sha>` or `dirtied tracked source` row | compare the row's baseline command |
+
+Compare the quoted FAIL plan text or baseline command with this batch's edits: use the owning task's `Spec:` anchors to an amended section or its changed `Tests:` text against `git -C "<abs worktree path>" show HEAD:<plan path>`. Require text this batch added or changed; neither a plan line number, task membership, nor retained baseline evidence proves attribution. For unchanged text and writer-only defects (such as missing `baseline:` without spec text behind it), render the writing-plans step-6 branch in full from the outcome already in hand: quote the FAIL lines verbatim as the open question; state the task, command, SHA, exit, and summary with `fix-first`, `narrow`, and `amend` options on their own lines and `Recommendation: <option> - <reason>`, then pause; name dirty paths and cause; clear the parent's own wave/amendment source work through its own commit step and list doc-only work under `In-flight:` before re-dispatch; take every other path, including every test-dirtied path, to the human to commit, discard, or move, without restoration - never name step 6 and defer the exit. Partition mixed output: form items only from attributable lines and render the unrelated lines' step-6 branches in full by the same rule. Classify attributable outcomes as amendment items independent of candidate answers and grant state. Keep findings from this batch's own aftermath in this batch until commit; apply section 1's later-finding rule after commit.
+
+Apply at most two aftermath items per batch. Send a third human-facing outcome, or evidence repeating an already-applied item's evidence, to step 6 as written without restoration, rendering the exit in full and listing the batch's retry items and evidence. Before restoring any path, handle a redraw-class finding by committing the batch as-is, handing dirty paths to step 6 without restoration, then taking `../SKILL.md`'s redraw path. Treat the spec/plan commit as batch preservation, not cleanup. For an amend-class `dirtied tracked source` row, check every named path with `git -C "<abs worktree path>" ls-files -- "<path>"` and against the spec, plan, and `In-flight:` list. Require every path to print as tracked and to be outside those protected paths before restoring any. Route an entire row with any untracked or protected path through step 6, without partial restoration; a new `??` at a `Create:`/`Test:` path is ineligible. Preserve `artifacts:` and `In-flight:` paths. Restore exactly the eligible row's paths, one quoted path per command, in the explicit worktree; for example:
+
+```bash
+git -C /tmp/report-worktree ls-files -- "eval/report-runner/report.md"
+git -C /tmp/report-worktree checkout -- "eval/report-runner/report.md"
+# Plain jj: root the fileset; -R alone does not root paths.
+jj -R /tmp/report-worktree restore -- 'root:"eval/report-runner/report.md"'
+```
+
+Use the checkout command for git or the restore command for plain jj, not both. Stop on a nonzero restore and print the shell error. Keep this narrow restore with the orchestrator, never the plan-writer or implementer; grant no general permission to restore test damage. Preserve the pre-batch working tree except for batch edits.
+
+Hold each eligible item with verbatim FAIL lines or baseline row as `evidence`, the correction as `recommended: accept` or a named `alt-n`, and the amended-section `location`. Re-read the grant through section 1's predicate and Value decoding before applying: malformed -> stop and quote the offending lines; amend permission -> apply the recommended edit and print `amended the spec: <title> - <what>`; budget-only, `none`, or absent -> run sections 2-4 and end the turn without re-dispatch. After the reply, apply only the chosen edit; return a redirect or drop to the original step-6 exit without re-dispatch over the unfixed spec.
+
+After an applied aftermath item, re-dispatch the plan-writer with only an `Amend:` block naming the amended sections and quoting the FAIL lines or baseline row inside its rule sentence, plus `In-flight:` including both spec and plan. Preserve unaffected task titles and wave positions. Run the parent's steps 5-6 again through this return point; retain the ledger/no-plan bypass above before any retry.
+
+Finalize every plan aftermath path once, only after steps 5-6 return `PASS`, including the first dispatch's `PASS` without a retry: read the amended plan once (step 7's read, without its phase completion or `plan_tracker` init) - the main loop never edits the plan text; then update the tracker: `plan_tracker` `add` for new tasks; anchor-changed completed tasks are reopened as `in_progress` and re-run the task loop (`update` never sets `pending`). A removed task is deleted from the plan; then re-`init` the tracker with `{ name, status }` elements: preserved tasks keep their order and statuses, reopened tasks are `in_progress` in place, every still-`pending` task (including newly added ones, whatever wave label they carry) trails the non-pending ones, removed tasks are the only deletions (the only permitted `init` after handoff; never `clear`). Commit spec + plan together; continue. A task reopened while `verify` or `ship` is in progress stays in that phase - no `phase_tracker` call.

+| `IDENTITY` | Remove scheme, userinfo and port; turn scp `host:path` into `host/path`; strip trailing `/` and `.git`, then lowercase; compare the entire subgroup path at any depth |
+| `PATH` | Use `<PRIMARY parent>/<NAME>` as the absolute sibling path |
+
+Resolve `PRIMARY` from the first `worktree <path>` entry in `git worktree list --porcelain` run from the current directory. Use it only for siblings; keep home reads and scout cwd at `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`. Anchor linked worktrees beside the primary, external Git directories beside their checkout, and submodules beside the first listed submodule checkout; never derive this anchor from Git metadata. Outside a checkout, retain `audit unavailable (no repository)`. For successful worktree-list output without a `worktree` entry, account for every configured line: parse first, render the invalid-configuration line below for invalid values and the unresolved line below for valid URLs, and continue single-repo.
+
+For primary `/repos/pi-gauntlet`, parse `git@github.com:acme/viewer.git` as NAME `viewer`, IDENTITY `github.com/acme/viewer`, PATH `/repos/viewer`; `ssh://git@github.com:7999/acme/viewer.git` and `https://user@github.com/acme/viewer` have the same identity.
+
+Classify each configured line in the parent, in order, stopping at the first match. Reject invalid configuration before any checkout check. Pass only found absolute paths as scout read paths; a failed classification never authorizes reads.
+
+| Order | Outcome | Check |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | Invalid configuration | Configured value fails the shared parser |
+| 2 | Not found | Nothing exists at `PATH` |
+| 3 | Not a checkout | `PATH` exists, but `git -C <PATH> rev-parse --show-toplevel` fails or prints a path other than `PATH` itself (a plain directory inside an enclosing repository is not a checkout) |
+| 4 | No origin | `git -C <PATH> config --get remote.origin.url` exits nonzero |
+| 5 | Unparseable origin | Stored origin fails the shared parser |
+| 6 | Wrong repo | Stored origin IDENTITY differs from configured IDENTITY |
+| 7 | Found | Identities equal; pass absolute `PATH` for scout reads |
+
+Read the stored origin with `config --get remote.origin.url`, never `remote get-url origin`, which applies `insteadOf` rewrites. Process duplicate lines independently, even at the same path. Use no deduplication, directory scanning, location override, backward path support, clone, fetch, creation, network or credentials.
+
+Render unavailable outcomes using these templates, substituting the configured URL, derived path/name and identities. Single-quote URL and destination as shell words in the hint; encode an embedded apostrophe as `'\''`. Render the command only; never run it or remove conflicting paths.

 Put exactly one `scenario:` footer per drafted ticket at the end of Problem, after all `source:` footers, never per failure or example and never interleaved with example sentences; for several failures, name the primary repro's setup, action, and observation in that one footer and keep the rest in the gate's Evidence list and AC rows:

 Route any audit or uniqueness edit to an AC's text, row, or group through substantive full-replacement repair and normalize rows to `- [ ]`. Preserve raw AC bytes on conformance-only and missing-footer-only paths with no audit or uniqueness AC change. Retain removed or split rows verbatim in the note.
 
-Route draft-changing findings to the existing gate even for an otherwise conforming ticket. Exclude an obsolete verdict from the quiet no-op path. Keep conforming tickets with only quiet findings, ambiguous premises, unverified claims, in-motion work, scenario none, or unavailable audits as no-ops. Carry their Audit lines on the no-op report; add no roast, gate, write, question, or blocking status for these findings alone.
