+
+### Added
+
+`simt explain <CODE>` names what a `check` finding means, the decision behind
+it, how to fix it, and a concrete trigger — one table row per finding code, so
+every code `check` can emit has an entry.
+
+`simt doctor --fix` applies only the remedies flagged safe (local, idempotent,
+journaled) and lists the rest; a fixture with three safe and two unsafe findings
+fixes exactly three.
+
+`simt status --line` prints the gate state from the last `check` in under
+50 ms from cache — `simt PASS ✓rules ✓hooks 3/3gates` — for shell prompts, tmux
+and agent status lines.
+
+Every write records `{path, beforeDigest, afterDigest, beforeBytes}` in
+`.simt/journal/`, and `simt undo` restores the last set when every file in it
+is untouched since.
+
+`--diff` on every writer prints a unified diff of the plan next to the report,
+changing nothing about what the run writes.
+
+`simt completions <bash|zsh|fish>` prints a completion script generated from the
+command registry, so the three shells complete exactly the commands the binary
+dispatches.
+
+One ignore list (`.simtignore`) renders `.cursorignore`, `.aiderignore`,
+`.geminiignore` and Claude `permissions.deny`, and a zero-dependency
+staged-diff secret scan (vendor patterns plus Shannon entropy over added lines
+only) blocks a commit carrying a probable secret without printing the bytes.
+
+`simt slice start <id>` isolates the work in a linked worktree on branch
+`slice/<id>` with the brief preloaded and flips the tracker row In progress;
+`simt slice finish <id>` runs the declared gates, commits a Conventional
+subject from the row title, and records the SHA and test command on the row.
+
+`simt lease <paths> --session <id>` claims files until a TTL in
+`.simt/leases.json`, and the pre-edit hook denies an edit leased by another
+session (ADR-101).
+
+`simt pr-body [--base <ref>]` assembles the pull request body from the evidence
+ledger, the decision records the diff touches, the gate state from the last
+check, and the residual risk in ADR-008 vocabulary. It is also exposed as the
+`pr_body` MCP tool; the two longest tool descriptions were shortened to hold
+the 2 KB `tools/list` budget.

+# ADR-100 — a staged diff is the last gate before history, and it runs inside the tool
+
+Status: **accepted** · 2026-10-27
+
+Affects: `src/hooks/gates.mjs`, `src/hooks/resolve.mjs`,
+`src/hooks/dispatcher.mjs`, `src/projection/manifest.mjs`, `src/secrets.mjs`
+
+## Context
+
+Git history is append-only: a secret committed is a rotation exercise, not a
+revert, and the one moment it can still be kept out is the commit. Every other
+leak path in this tool is already gated — the projection, the manifest, the
+evidence claim — but nothing gated the staged diff.
+
+The three existing gate kinds cannot express this check. `staged` hands files
+to a formatter binary in `node_modules/.bin`, `script` runs a `package.json`
+script, and `command` runs a line the manifest declares: each resolves
+something ON DISK, and each therefore has a way to be missing. A secret scan
+has nothing to resolve — the implementation is the question being asked — and
+making it a `command` gate would mean a repository declares `simt secrets`
+(or installs a third-party scanner) before the check exists at all. That is
+backwards for the repositories most at risk, which are frequently the ones with
+the least toolchain to install into.
+
+Plan 0003 R52 asks for both halves from one list and one binary: a
+zero-dependency staged-diff scan (vendor patterns plus entropy), and no
+repository needing anything to run it.
+
+## Ruling
+
+1. **A fourth gate kind, `builtin`, runs inside this binary.** It is declared
+   in the manifest like any other gate, a `gates.commands` entry overrides it
+   exactly as it overrides every other kind (the dispatcher's precedence is
+   unchanged), and its result flows through the same ledger line, the same
+   fail-closed reporting and the same `hooks status` view. What it never does
+   is resolve anything on disk: there is no script to miss, no formatter to
+   install and no command to declare, so `gateRunnable` reports it runnable and
+   `check` counts it as such. A `builtin` name with no implementation fails the
+   event with the name of the gate rather than passing.
+
+2. **`secret-scan` reads only the added lines of `git diff --cached`.** Two
+   detectors, both local: a pattern library for the shapes vendors publish
+   (AWS key ids, private key blocks, GitHub/Slack/Stripe/Google/OpenAI-style
+   tokens, JWTs, assigned secrets) and Shannon entropy (≥ 4.5 bits per
+   character over runs of ≥ 32 base64-ish characters) for the blobs no vendor
+   named. Values carrying placeholder markers (`example`, `changeme`,
+   `your_`, …) are documentation, not findings. Context lines are not
+   scanned: blocking a commit over bytes the author did not stage reproduces
+   the prohibition `format`'s staged-only rule exists for. If git cannot
+   answer, the gate fails rather than reading silence as a clean diff.
+
+3. **A finding never prints the matched bytes.** The report carries the
+   pattern id, the file, the line and a four-character prefix — the part a
+   vendor publishes as a type (`AKIA`, `sk-`, `ghp_`). Hook output lands in a
+   terminal, a CI log and often an agent's own transcript, and echoing the
+   secret into the report about the secret is the leak with extra steps.
+
+4. **The gate is opt-in, not an `init` default.** Entropy has a false-positive
+   rate no threshold eliminates, and a gate that blocks a first commit over a
+   sha256 digest teaches exactly the `--no-verify` habit the dispatcher exists
+   to prevent. A repository opts in by adding `secret-scan` to
+   `gates.preCommit`; from then on it is reported, counted and fail-closed like
+   every other declared gate.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A repository gets the scan by declaring the gate; nothing is installed,
+  nothing is fetched at hook time, and a fresh clone runs it identically.
+- `unresolved()` and `gateRunnable()` know `builtin` as a runnable kind, so
+  `check` no longer has a gate it must call unrunnable-but-isn't; `hooks
+  status` prints `run builtin` for the entry.
+- A `gates.commands["secret-scan"]` declaration replaces the built-in scan
+  with whatever line the repository names — the escape hatch every other kind
+  has, preserved for this one.
+- The matcher lives in `src/secrets.mjs` and is unit-tested against sentinel
+  values, including the negative cases (hex digests, UUIDs, placeholders) that
+  decide whether the threshold is usable rather than merely strict.
+
+## Rejected
+
+- **Shipping a third-party scanner (gitleaks, trufflehog).** It violates the
+  zero-dependency rule outright, and a hook that downloads a scanner at commit
+  time is a hook that fails on an offline machine — the failure mode ADR-010's
+  no-fetch-at-hook-time rule already refuses for `npx`.
+- **Scanning the working tree or the whole repository.** That flags secrets
+  already in history on every subsequent commit (unfixable by the author of
+  this commit) and scans unstaged work nobody was about to record. The staged
+  diff is precisely the bytes the next commit would make permanent, and it is
+  the only bytes this gate claims to judge.

+# ADR-101 — a file lease belongs to one session, and the pre-edit hook refuses another's edit
+
+Status: **accepted** · 2026-10-28
+
+Affects: `src/lease.mjs`, `src/commands/lease.mjs`,
+`src/agenthooks/policy.mjs`, `src/agenthooks/decide.mjs`
+
+## Context
+
+Parallel agents share one working tree, and the cheapest collision between them
+is two sessions editing the same file at once: each edit is valid alone, and
+the pair is neither — one session's work is overwritten by the other's save,
+with no gate, no diff and no hook that ever sees a conflict. Git notices this
+only at merge time, which is far after the fact either session can explain.
+
+Plan 0003 R54 asks for a claim mechanism: `simt lease <paths>` records which
+session is working on which path, with a TTL, and the pre-edit half of the
+agent hook denies an edit from a session that does not hold the claim.
+
+The policy table is where every other agent-time refusal lives (`push`,
+`rewrite`, `generated`), so a lease refusal belongs there too — one table,
+four harness dialects, one message. What the table has never had is a fact
+that is not in the payload: which session is asking, and who else has claimed
+the path.
+
+## Ruling
+
+1. **A lease is a claim, not a lock.** `.simt/leases.json` records one entry
+   per path: the repo-relative path, the session name, and an absolute expiry
+   timestamp. It is taken with `simt lease <paths>` (preview unless `--yes`),
+   the session comes from `--session` or `SIMT_SESSION`, and the TTL defaults
+   to an hour. There is no lock on the file and no daemon: a claim is advisory
+   data that expires on its own, last writer wins, and a claim lost to a race
+   is simply re-made. Coordination machinery would be a system built around a
+   file a TTL already cleans up.
+
+2. **A live claim held by a different session refuses a re-claim.** Stealing
+   is what expiry is for: the refusal names the holder and the expiry, and
+   the session that wants the path waits for the TTL or asks the holder. The
+   holder may re-claim (refresh) its own paths at any time.
+
+3. **The pre-edit hook denies an edit to a path another session holds.** The
+   check joins two facts at decision time: the active claims in the file, and
+   the asking session's name from `SIMT_SESSION` — one variable for the claim
+   and the check, because a denial is only explainable if the session it
+   protected is the same name the claim was filed under. A session that cannot
+   prove ownership is treated as another session: an unrecognised edit is
+   refused with the holder's name, not waved through. Expiry is read when the
+   hook runs, so a TTL needs no sweeper, and a claim with no file (the default
+   state of every repository) denies nothing.
+
+4. **An unreadable claim file fails closed for edits and only for edits.**
+   A `.simt/leases.json` that does not parse is evidence someone — possibly a
+   session routing around the check — broke the claims the hook is about to
+   enforce, so any write is refused until the file is fixed or removed; a
+   `lease` command refuses to write over it for the same reason. A shell
+   command with no file fact is not an edit and is not refused. This mirrors
+   the fail-closed contract every gate has, scoped to the question the lease
+   can actually answer.
+
+5. **The refusal is the `lease` policy, with the table's full machinery.** It
+   carries `ADR-101`, is lifted by `SIMT_ALLOW=lease` exactly as every other
+   policy is, exits with the harness's deny code, and its message names the
+   held paths, the holders and the expiry in ISO — the three things the
+   blocked session needs to act. The per-instance detail is a `detail` hook on
+   the row, so the message that quotes a timestamp does not become a special
+   case inside `decide`.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Two sessions in one working tree can coordinate with one command and no
+  shared process; a crashed session's claims lapse on their own.
+- The hook's hot path gains one small `readFile` of a file that is usually
+  absent, and only when the payload named a file to write.
+- `learn.mjs` reads policy rows by `id` and `adr` only, so the `lease` row
+  joins the estate's violation aggregation with no further wiring.
+- The claim file is local state under `.simt` like the index and the journal:
+  never projected, never committed.
+
+## Rejected
+
+- **File locking (`flock`, a lockfile protocol).** A lock that blocks is a
+  deadlock with a crashed session in it, and it needs the very daemon ruling 1
+  refuses. The TTL already bounds every claim.
+- **Inferring leased paths from shell commands.** Only the edit tools name a
+  file with no guesswork; guessing at what a `sh -c` line will write is the
+  payload-shaped false positive the policy table was built to avoid — no fact
+  is not a violation.
+- **A lease the holder must release to finish.** Forgetting to release is the
+  expected failure of any release-based protocol; an expiry is not.
