Phase 0 reconciliation: guards that report what they actually checked - #12
Conversation
Phase 0 reconciliation against PLAN.md. Three of these are guards that were green, or red, for reasons unrelated to what they claim to check. size-guard ran build.py before its file-size check, so a missing build.py failed the job without a single file being measured - which is what is happening on phase-1/registries and phase-2/baseline right now. Split into `size` (pure git ls-files scan, no install, no build) and `dist-size`. The job name `size` is preserved because it is a required status check. The scan now also fails when it walks zero files, since an empty scan is a broken scan rather than a clean repo. claude-review authenticated with an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret that was never set, and resolved that in a preflight job which skipped the review. It has reported success on every pull request without once invoking Claude. Migrated to workload identity federation per PLAN.md, which removes the credential entirely. The preflight job goes with it: `secrets` is not available in a job-level `if:`, which is why it existed, but `vars` is - so the job gates on configuration directly and reports SKIPPED rather than green when unconfigured. The tool allowlist is what makes that job review-only. The `permissions:` block does not constrain it: by default the action mints a GitHub App token whose scope is set server-side and includes contents:write, so `contents: read` alone would not stop Claude committing. codeql holds security-events: write but floated on @V3, while deploy.yml claimed in a comment to be the only write-holding workflow. Pinned codeql to SHAs and corrected the comment. Also adds the seven subagent definitions from the PLAN.md roster, which were absent from every branch of both repos, and the issue templates neither repo had. CLAUDE.md becomes a symlink to AGENTS.md, per convention.

The experiments repo documents its record as submission.yaml while the schema is JSON. Scanning only *.json would have left the guard vacuous a second time: a clean pass because it was looking for the wrong extension. YAML goes through safe_load. A !!python/object: tag in a submission is a code-execution attempt, so ConstructorError becoming a reported failure is the intended behaviour, not something to work around. Note this is the opposite call from hparams.yaml, which legitimately carries those tags and never reaches here.

- Around line 39-44: The “Saturated” definition in the EDA domain guidance
should use the registry optimum rather than approximately zero baseline error.

optimal, while preserving the existing stage/task rule and warning not to infer
it from numeric metric tests, including 100% tpr/tnr cases.
In @.claude/agents/frontend-reviewer.md:
- Around line 23-24: Update the shared data-palette contract in the frontend
reviewer guidance to consistently cover all five cell states, including
saturated, and rename the palette description accordingly if saturated uses it.
If saturated is intentionally separate, explicitly identify the four shared
states and document how saturated is handled.
In @.claude/agents/perf-auditor.md:
- Around line 10-16: Update the build measurement instructions around the dist/
checks to explicitly time make build, report exact dist/ bytes with du -sb, and
scan all tracked files using git ls-files with stat and an awk filter for files
over 1048576 bytes. Retain the existing largest-file and HTML-file reports while
ensuring the documented measurements cover build wall time, exact disk usage,
and the committed-file size limit.

- Around line 19-22: Update the fenced output example in the relevant section of
the repository scout instructions to specify the text language, changing the
untagged fence around the path and explanatory lines to a text-tagged fence so
markdownlint MD040 passes.
In @.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml:
- Around line 11-13: Update the question contact entry in the issue-template
configuration to use a documented author contact address, discussion forum, or
support tracker instead of the EDA-Schema-V2 paper URL, while preserving its
descriptive name and purpose.

…pairs Two deliberate deviations from PLAN.md, both security-driven. PLAN.md lists this under the experiments repo, but the parser it repairs is tools/ingest.py, which lives here. Placed there it would need a cross-repo token with contents:write on the site repo - a second long-lived credential with write access to the published leaderboard. Here, the job's own GITHUB_TOKEN suffices. PLAN.md triggers it on validate-submission failure, i.e. workflow_run. That cannot serve the case it exists for: the action performs actor write-permission checks on workflow_run, checking both the run actor and the upstream actor, and a fork submitter has none - which is exactly when a parser bug surfaces. The documented workaround, allowed_non_write_users, is labelled by the action's own docs a significant security risk, and would hand prompt control over a contents:write job to anyone who can open a PR. workflow_dispatch instead. Triggering requires write access, and a maintainer first judges whether it is a parser bug or a bad submission - the same human-in-the-loop step PLAN.md asks for, one step earlier.
PLAN.md asks for one PR with three defects and all three checks red. That was done as PR #5 and it passed as written. Two things it cannot show. A red check is not evidence the check ran. size-guard used to build before measuring, so a missing build.py failed the job having measured nothing - indistinguishable from catching an oversized file, and exactly what happens on phase-1 and phase-2 today. So every assertion greps the job log for the guard's own error string, never just conclusion == failure. One PR with three defects shows the guards fail together, not independently. A guard going red because a different defect broke its setup looks identical. So three single-defect PRs run first and each asserts the other two guards stay GREEN. Re-runnable, because PLAN.md Phase 12 warns protection does not always survive a transfer, and protection you believe in but do not have is worse than none.

.github/workflows/parser-repair.ymltests/test_submissions.pytools/submissions.py
CodeRabbit flagged the tool restriction, correctly. --allowedTools only PRE-APPROVES: tools left off it remain available and fall through to the permission mode. Headless mode currently denies that fallthrough, so an allowlist alone happens to work - but that is an implicit runner behaviour, not a stated guarantee, and it is one default change away from silently granting Edit and Write to a workflow that reviews pull requests. --disallowedTools takes precedence and cannot be overridden, so both workflows now state the denial. This matters more in parser-repair, which holds contents:write deliberately. There the difference between 'not listed' and 'denied' is the human-in-the-loop step itself. Also corrects the saturation definition in the eda-domain and data-integrity agents. They said saturated means baseline error is approximately zero; tools/registry.py defines it as the baseline already being at the optimum and notes that eight of those cells are tpr/tnr at 100%, where an error-zero test is false. A review agent carrying the wrong definition would have waved through the exact bug it exists to catch. Adds the positive-enumeration rationale and the degeneracy-wins precedence, which still yields 880/232 when reversed and so is invisible in the totals.
… floating Three findings from review, all real, all on the untrusted-input path. NaN and infinities were accepted. json.loads reads the bare literals NaN, Infinity and -Infinity despite none being valid JSON, and YAML 1.1 reads .nan and .inf. Either survives schema validation, because JSON Schema's 'number' accepts them, and then poisons ranking: NaN compares false against every bound, so the cell sorts unpredictably and can be recorded as beating a baseline. On a leaderboard other groups cite that is worse than a rejected submission. Rejected now for both formats by one walk over the parsed record. UnicodeDecodeError was uncaught. It subclasses ValueError, not OSError and not JSONDecodeError, so it escaped both handlers and aborted the entire run - one stray byte in one submission would have taken every other submission's result with it. And I wrote the rule 'any workflow holding a write scope is pinned', then left claude-review and parser-repair on floating tags. Both hold write scopes. Pinned. size-guard now lists tracked files into a file rather than reading from a process substitution, which does not propagate exit status - a failing git ls-files would have yielded an empty loop and read as a clean scan. The zero-files check already caught that; this makes it fail at the source instead.
