The verified-against sha could only ever be wrong. A commit cannot name itself,
so the line had to be written after the commit it described, which forced a
trailing `state:` commit every time — against conventions.md, which has always
said code, test, state.md row and ADR belong in one commit. Folding those
trailing commits away then left the sha naming a commit that no longer existed.
backup/pre-fold shows the pattern, and 8905686 is the commit that had to name
the survivor afterwards.
Git already knows when each file last changed. The gate now compares the last
commit touching docs/state.md against the last touching a .go file, and the
line is gone. Same intent, nothing to maintain, and no rewrite can invalidate it.
Also records two commit rules the human stated this session: state.md never gets
a commit of its own, and a minor change asked for just after a commit is amended
into it while it is unpushed rather than accumulating as noise.
Four small things from one sitting, none of which would be reverted without the
others:
- .claude/launch.json describes the only dev server this repo has: make demo on
localhost:8080. Deliberately not autoPort — examples/demo-site declares
base: http://localhost:8080, so canonical, hreflang, OpenGraph and sitemap URLs
are built from that port, and a reassigned one would make the absolute URLs on
the page wrong while still rendering fine.
- The skill is .claude/skills/feature-loop/, without the khosra- prefix. ADR-0054
records it, because ADR-0030 had named the prefixed form while settling the
project name and decisions.md is append-only.
- Makefile .PHONY was missing quiet and surface, added two commits ago. A file of
either name in the repo root would have silently shadowed the target.
- A latent row: the root listing's title reads "A Khosra Demo · A Khosra Demo",
because base.html joins page title and site title unconditionally and at the
root they are the same string. Found by looking at the served page — no test
asserts a title. Theme layer, one if, and it waits for Phase G4.
