batten landed check shipped a three-arm header over a two-arm disjunction.

mise-tasks/landed-check.sh decides landedness three ways: a commit on
origin/main that CLOSES the id, the caller's merged-PR evidence, and
--landed-by. The port declared all three — Evidence::claimed is public and
both landed() and asserted_only() branch on it — and wired two. No flag
could fill claimed, so the arm was unreachable from the CLI.

The predicate's own tier could not catch it: four unit cases construct
claimed directly, which is the fabricate-the-shape defect
.claude/rules/policy-modules.md records for with input as. Only a case over
the compiled binary can see it, and none could be written until the flag
existed.

A second defect, found by the board doing it. Row::STARTED was
["In Progress", "In Review"], so a declined key that reached Done escaped
declined-but-advanced entirely — and Done means RELEASED, which is where the
claim is strongest. Measured on this gate's own two rows: CLOUD-186 and
CLOUD-1127 were declined with DO-NOT-CLOSE in #859's body and advanced to Done
by a release the next morning.

Absence is a reading. The shell could never reach an absent arm one, because it
read main's log itself; taking the arm as a file makes it omittable, which is
the same silent halving displaced into the caller. A sweep without --claimed
now says so, and a paired case asserts the notice fires only on absence.

The arm is supplied by the caller rather than read here, as the shell does at
its own call site: claimed-keys is this repository's one authority on
claim-versus-mention, and a second copy of its CLAIM_RE is what CLOUD-378 was
filed for.

Semantics were checked against the shell's disjunction rather than its header —
union of three key sets, In Progress only on the behind-git side, and
asserted-only is asserted && !claimed && !merged (landed-check.sh:265).

Closes CLOUD-1458


Also on this branch, and closed by it: the gate for hand-stepping the landing
loop (CLOUD-1351).

Filed as a duplicate first. CLOUD-1461 was opened for this before the board was
searched, and CLOUD-1351 had been sitting in Backlog since 2026-09-04 — the row
.claude/rules/toolchain.md already cites by number in its landing-loop clause.
CLOUD-1461 is canceled into it. filing-needs-a-search should have refused the
filing and could not: the installed engine had gone stale behind main and
could not parse a [[provision.env]] row, so it was failing open on every
mediated call.

AGENTS.md states the rule and nothing enforced it — "run the lifecycle tasks as
written, never wrapped in bespoke retry or pre-check logic", and on a conflict
"resolve and git rebase --continue, never a fresh git rebase origin/main".
Measured in the session that filed it: verify reported main had moved and
said in its own refusal there was nothing to fix; the session hand-stepped
git fetch, git rebase origin/main and git push instead of handing that to
land. Nothing refused any of it. The neighbouring shape IS gated — a
--force-with-lease push is refused by leased-push — which is what makes the
gap a hole rather than a decision.

The row is a shape deny modelled on gh-run-watch, and it turns on a
distinction the matcher already carries: pattern compares operand words with
flags dropped, while contains matches the raw segment. So
pattern = "git rebase" with contains = "origin/main" refuses a fresh rebase
and leaves the conflict exit alone. Without that narrowing the row would strand
a branch mid-rebase with no sanctioned way out, which is why three of the five
compiled cases are allows.

A demonstration claim in an earlier revision of this body was invalid and is
withdrawn rather than quietly edited.
It read "demonstrated over the running
hook"; the running hook is batten adjudicate --harness claude-code, and the
INSTALLED binary at that moment predated the hook -> adjudicate rename. An
unrecognised subcommand is clap exit 1, which every host reads as ALLOW, so no
mediated call in that session was adjudicated at all — the demonstration had
invoked batten hook directly, which is not what the harness runs. What backs
the row now is crates/batten/tests/it/land_hand_stepping.rs, over the compiled
binary and the committed batten.toml, driving adjudicate the way
.claude/settings.json does. Its header records the same skew, because three of
its assertions went red the moment the rename landed over a policy that was
refusing correctly.

What it deliberately does not gate, named so the silence is not read as
coverage: a hand git push. The honest predicate is "pushing a branch that has
an open pull request", which needs forge state, and a round trip per mediated
call is disqualified for the reason claim-not-raced records when it moved off
that path.

Closes CLOUD-1351


DO-NOT-CLOSE CLOUD-1381
DO-NOT-CLOSE CLOUD-1461

CLOUD-1381 is served and stays open. This branch's line_bounded_words is the
declared STOPGAP for the newline-evasion arm — .claude/rules/policy-modules.md
says so at its own site, and names the parsed command line as the fix. Closing
it on a stopgap would retire an Urgent row that is still true.

CLOUD-1461 is Canceled into CLOUD-1351, which this body closes above. A
canceled duplicate has no column to advance to.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The landed check command now accepts an optional --claimed evidence file. The command loads claimed keys from that file and reports when the claimed evidence arm is omitted. Shell completions and the man page document the option. Done rows now qualify for declined-key advancement checks. Integration tests cover claimed evidence, omitted evidence, and declined keys that reach Done.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 52bf1

The new claimed-evidence input is wired into landed checks, but its man page currently suggests it can be used without a file, and one success-path test can miss unrelated command failures. These are bounded documentation and coverage issues that should be corrected before relying on the new interface.

`batten landed check` shipped a three-arm header over a two-arm disjunction.
`mise-tasks/landed-check.sh` decides landedness three ways — a commit on
`origin/main` that CLOSES the id, the caller's merged-PR evidence, and
`--landed-by`. The port declared all three (`Evidence::claimed` is public and
both `landed()` and `asserted_only()` branch on it) and wired two. No flag could
fill `claimed`, so the arm was unreachable from the CLI.

The predicate's own tier could not catch it: four unit cases construct `claimed`
directly, which is the fabricate-the-shape defect `.claude/rules/policy-modules.md`
records for `with input as`. Only a case over the compiled binary can see it, and
none could be written until the flag existed.

`Row::STARTED` stopped at In Review, so a key the body declined that reached Done
escaped `declined-but-advanced`. Done means RELEASED, which is where the claim is
strongest. Measured on this gate's own two rows.

The shell could never reach an absent arm one, because it read `main`'s log
itself. Taking the arm as a file makes it omittable, which is the same silent
halving displaced into the caller, so a sweep without `--claimed` now says so.

The arm is supplied by the caller rather than read here, as the shell does at its
own call site: `claimed-keys` is this repository's one authority on
claim-versus-mention, and a second copy of its CLAIM_RE is CLOUD-378.

BREAKING CHANGE: library — `LandedCommand::Check` gains a `claimed` field, so an
external match on that variant no longer compiles. The enum is `non_exhaustive`
but the variant is not, which is what `enum_struct_variant_field_added` reports.
The consumer surface is unaffected: `landed check` gains an optional flag and
every existing invocation keeps its behaviour.

Refs: CLOUD-1458
`--claimed` joins `landed check`, so the generated completions and the man
page carry it. Regenerated rather than hand-edited.

Refs: CLOUD-1458
`mise run land` drives the whole loop, and AGENTS.md puts that above the
agent's own judgement — run the lifecycle tasks "as written, never wrapped in
bespoke retry or pre-check logic", because "`main` advancing under your branch
is this loop working, not a race to engineer around". Nothing enforced it.

Measured 2026-09-05 on this repository: `verify` refused with "main moved under
this branch — rebase and verify again, there is nothing here to fix", naming its
own remedy, and the session hand-stepped `git fetch origin main`, `git rebase
origin/main` and `git push` rather than handing the lap back to `land`. Nothing
refused any of it. A `git push --force-with-lease` minutes earlier WAS refused by
`leased-push`, which is what makes this a gap rather than a decision.

`contains` is the whole predicate rather than a narrowing flourish. AGENTS.md
names exactly one hand spelling that stays legitimate — on a conflict, "resolve
and `git rebase --continue`" — and a `shape` row compares operand words with
flags already dropped, so `pattern` alone cannot separate them and would refuse
the one step the contract requires by hand.

The compiled tier is the pair rather than the deny: three spellings of the lap
are refused, and `--continue`, `--abort`, `--skip` and an interactive rebase on
the branch's own history are all left alone. Without the allows a row that
refused every `git rebase` would pass the deny case while stranding a branch
mid-conflict with no sanctioned way forward, which is this defect pointed the
other way.

A hand `git push` is deliberately NOT gated, and the row says so: the honest
predicate needs forge state, a round trip per mediated call is disqualified for
`claim-not-raced`'s reason, and a blanket deny would make reclaim-survival
advice unfollowable.

Admits-answer-lost: The rule AGENTS.md already states — run the lifecycle tasks as written, and never a fresh `git rebase origin/main` — stays prose with no exit code behind it, which non-negotiable rule 2 calls half a change. Measured today: `verify` named its own remedy, the session hand-stepped fetch/rebase/push instead of handing the lap to `land`, and nothing refused it. Without the row the next session repeats it, and the owner is the only detector.
Admits-answer-precondition: A `[[rule]]` row IS the surface for a mediated-call deny in this repository — `gh-run-watch`, `no-bare-cargo` and the four ported `gh-guard` rows are all rows in this file — so there is no other surface that can express `rebase-not-hand-stepped`. `batten.toml` is where the rule table lives, and the write is one row plus its comment, landing in a diff a reviewer reads as config rather than as code.
Admits-answer-rejected-route: `config read first` is the route I rejected, and it does not apply because I have read it: the neighbouring rows are quoted in the comment I am adding, `gh-run-watch` is the template this row copies, and `Rule::contains` at rules.rs:1532 is what the predicate turns on. Reading further cannot produce the row; the row is the deliverable. `patch run first` does not apply either — there is no patch to run, the change is a new row rather than an edit to an existing predicate.
`every_committed_shape_row_is_exercised_by_the_census` reads the rows out of
`batten.toml` through the real loader, so `rebase-not-hand-stepped` landing with
no case fails there rather than waiting for someone to remember. It is the sixth
census this branch has been enumerated by, and the only one that reads the
authority rather than a hand-kept list.

The entry sits with the four `gh` lifecycle rows because it is the same family:
all five refuse an ad-hoc spelling of a step `mise run land` already drives.

The case is the DENY arm only, and the comment says why rather than leaving it
to be read as the whole coverage: this table pairs a call with the row that must
refuse it, so an ALLOWED call has no row to name and cannot be expressed here.
`git rebase --continue` and the other three allows live in
`crates/batten/tests/it/land_hand_stepping.rs`, which is what stops the row
becoming a blanket refusal that strands a conflicted rebase.

Refs: CLOUD-1461
`an_and_chain_is_allowed_because_it_cannot_manufacture_a_green` used
`git fetch origin main && git rebase origin/main` to show an `&&` chain is
allowed. It no longer is: `rebase-not-hand-stepped` refuses it, for
hand-stepping a step `mise run land` drives. That is a different row answering a
different question, and an operand another row independently decides makes the
case ambiguous — it would fail while proving nothing about short-circuiting.

The git-family arm stays, because it is the reason that line exists: the
verdict-bearing list's git entry, exercised inside a chain. Two `git fetch`
calls carry it and nothing else decides them.

The command moved rather than being deleted, so the coverage follows the
verdict: `land_hand_stepping.rs` now asserts it IS denied. That is also the
CLOUD-857 shape and worth its own line — a predicate anchored on the command
LINE reads only its first word, which is how `git push --force origin main` was
denied while `cd /tmp && git push --force origin main` was allowed with a green
suite over it. Anchoring on segments is what makes this pair refuse on its
second element.

Both edits are stated in the files rather than made quietly: a fixture changed
to make a new deny pass is otherwise indistinguishable from a test weakened to
fit a change.

Refs: CLOUD-1351
`landed check --claimed` widens the emitted command surface, and
`snapshots::golden_json_schema` pins that surface byte for byte. Accepted via
`mise run snapshots` rather than hand-edited — the golden manifests are derived,
and a hand-written one attests bytes no run produced.

The delta is eight lines and all of them are the flag: name, long, takes_value,
positional and help. Nothing else moved, which is the reading that makes this
safe to accept rather than a diff to audit.

Refs: CLOUD-1458
…pass

`segments` treats a newline as whitespace, so a two-line call is ONE segment
whose first word is the first line's program. Every `shape` row was therefore
evaded by writing two lines instead of one, measured over the running hook:
the single-line form denied both before and after, the two-line form ALLOWED
before and denied now.

The evasion needed no intent. A two-line bash block is how anyone writes two
commands, so it arrived by accident, and nothing signalled that it had.

CLOUD-1287 built the line-bounded reading for exactly this and wired it to the
mutation walk and the unknown-program walk, which is why `protected_mutation`
never had the hole. This is the third reader, not a new mechanism.

WHAT IS NOT TOUCHED, because the bound is real: `segments()` is unmoved, so
segment identity and `terminator` are unmoved and no `pipeline` verdict changes
— the promotion `.claude/rules/policy-modules.md` forbids is not the one made
here. The single-line path returns the segment's own raw unchanged, so nothing
a one-line call decides moves either.

A NAIVE PER-LINE LOOP WOULD HAVE INTRODUCED A FALSE DENY, which is the
direction that gets a guard switched off. `contains` is matched against the text
as written, because what it looks for sits inside a quoted argument. Resolving
the program per line while matching the needle across the whole segment lets one
line qualify another line's program: `echo origin/main` then
`git rebase --continue` gives line two the program `git` and the operand
`rebase` — flags are dropped — while `origin/main` is found on line one, so the
conflict exit `contains` exists to protect would be refused. Hence
`line_bounded_units`, which carries each line's own raw.

90 cases green across `land_hand_stepping`, `pipeline_shapes`, `mediated_verbs`
and `gh_guard` — every landed shape row, since this reaches all of them.

Refs: CLOUD-1381
…newline

`program_reach` built `input.call.programs` one entry per SEGMENT, and a
newline is whitespace to `segments`. A two-line call therefore yielded one
entry naming the FIRST line's program, and every module anchoring on
`program.name` read the wrong one. Measured over the running hook:

  git push --force origin main                    deny, no-force-push
  echo starting <newline> git push --force ...    ALLOWED before, deny now

A force-push to trunk, through on a line break.

THIS WAS HALF-FIXED AN HOUR AGO AND THAT WAS WORSE THAN NEITHER HALF. The same
change landed for `matching_shape_rows` and left this projection behind, so two
readers of one call disagreed: a shape row denied what the four
`programs`-anchored preset modules allowed. A disagreement between two readings
of one argv is exactly what CLOUD-857 measured and what this projection exists
to refuse, so reintroducing it inside the fix for it is the defect, not a
shortfall.

WHY THE TIER WAS GREEN OVER IT, which is the part worth keeping. Every case in
`preset_segments.rs` puts the force push after `&&`, `;` or a variable
assignment — separators `segments` DOES split on. None used a newline, which it
does not. CLOUD-857's reproduction and that suite were written from one list of
separators, so a case class missing from the list was missing from both, and the
tier attested a bypass for as long as it existed. The four cases added here are
that list's gap, plus a continued line, which is one command and must not have
its operands stranded.

Both directions pinned: an ordinary multi-line call and a later-line
`--force-with-lease` stay allowed, so the row does not fire on the newline
itself.

126 cases green across `preset_segments`, `land_hand_stepping`,
`pipeline_shapes`, `mediated_verbs`, `gh_guard` and the hook suites.

Four walks decided over `segment.words`, and two compared the RAW token against
a rule's program. Both left the same class of hole, reached by two spellings.

The measured pairs, over the running hook:

  (git rebase origin/main)      allowed by the shape row, DENIED by the
                                programs-anchored preset for its force-push twin
  echo readying <newline> gh pr ready
                                all four `gh pr ready` receipt preconditions
                                silently not demanded
  echo hi <newline> mise run land | head
                                a piped verdict, unseen

ONE ARGV READ TWO WAYS IS THE DEFECT, not any single miss. `program_reach`'s own
header forbids it and CLOUD-857 measured it, so a shape row denying what a
preset allows is worse than either reading being wrong alone — and this branch
introduced exactly that by fixing `matching_shape_rows` first and leaving the
rest.

`matching_receipt_rows` and `program_reach` take the line walk. Both raw
comparisons now resolve through `program_token`, so a grouped command is one
program everywhere rather than `"(git"` in two places and `git` in three.

`pipeline_rules` SPLITS RATHER THAN SWAPS, and that is the part worth reading.
A pipeline row's subject is the shape of the LIST — `terminator`, and this
stage's position among the others — which are segment facts, and
`.claude/rules/policy-modules.md` bounds the promotion that would move them:
"would change every landed `pipeline` verdict". So WHICH program carries a
verdict is asked per line while WHAT HAPPENS TO IT stays the segment's. A
single-line segment yields exactly the reading it did before, so no landed
verdict moves. `nohup` is read on the line carrying the verdict, because a
`nohup` on a neighbouring line detaches that line's command and not this one.

`substitution_decision` is deliberately untouched: it reasons about operand
paths across stages and needs reading before a swap, not a reflexive one.

164 cases green across `preset_segments`, `land_hand_stepping`,
`pipeline_shapes`, `mediated_verbs`, `gh_guard`, the receipt suites, the hook
suites and `run_shape`.

…element

`substitution_decision` resolved its program with `effective_program(&tokens)?`.
The `?` returns from the whole FUNCTION rather than skipping the element, so the
first one with no resolvable program ended the scan and everything after it went
unjudged. Every other skip in that loop was already a `continue`; this one path
was the odd one out and it failed OPEN.

Measured over the running hook:

  grep needle crates/batten/src/lib.rs             deny, no-tool-substitution
  FOO=1 && grep needle crates/batten/src/lib.rs    ALLOWED before, deny now

A bare assignment resolves no program, so it ended the scan. Nothing about this
involves newlines — it is a second, independent fail-open in the same function,
found by reading the walk the previous commit deliberately left alone rather
than by a review.

The line walk and the normalised program land here too, so this is now the fifth
and last mediated walk reading the same way. Clause 2 stays the SEGMENT's and is
hoisted above the line loop: whether this stage was fed by a pipe is a property
of the list, and a piped stage now costs no per-line work at all.

THE PERMISSIVE DIRECTION IS THE ONE NOTHING REPORTS, which is why both cases are
pinned rather than described. A call that should have been refused simply
proceeds, and a refusal that never ran is indistinguishable from a clean
adjudication.

The three allow clauses are pinned beside them — a filter downstream of a pipe,
a path outside the repository, and a redirect destination. A deny-only suite
cannot tell a fix that closed an evasion from one that started refusing ordinary
work, and that is the direction that gets a guard switched off.

166 cases green across the eight mediated suites, 22 in `pipeline_shapes`.

Refs: CLOUD-1381
Three sites read RAW tokens while the program beside them was resolved through
`program_token`, so a grouped command split the two readings apart again.

THE PAREN LANDS ON A MATCHED OPERAND ONLY WHEN THE COMMAND TAKES NO TRAILING
ARGUMENT, which is why the obvious probe misses this. Measured over the running
hook:

  (gh pr merge 42)    DENY   the paren landed on `42)`, window intact
  (gh pr merge)       ALLOW  it landed on `merge)`
  (gh pr ready)       ALLOW  and the verify receipt went undemanded
  (gh run watch)      ALLOW

The argument-bearing form is the one a reproduction reaches for first and the
one that already worked. Probing it alone certifies the bypass as absent — which
is what happened here on the first pass, and why it is now a case sitting beside
the two that were broken rather than a sentence about them.

`(gh pr ready)` is the costliest of the three: a receipt row is a PRECONDITION,
so the miss did not merely fail to deny, it silently stopped demanding the
receipt. Permissive, and nothing reports it.

HALF A NORMALISATION IS ITS OWN BUG. `substitution_decision` resolved the
program and then scanned raw tokens for the target, so the row SELECTED on a
grouped command and could not find the path it had selected on:
`(grep needle crates/batten/src/lib.rs)` allowed while the bare form denied.
That is worse than normalising neither half, for the reason this branch has now
met four times — two readings of one argv that disagree.

The redirection guard deliberately stays on the raw token: `>` and `<` are shell
syntax `program_token` may strip, and reading the stop condition off the
normalised form could walk the scan past a redirect and refuse a destination the
call writes.

483 cases green across the mediated suites and the `cli` census; the four
bypasses and the four allow clauses are pinned.

`batten landed check` was ported in #859 and completed in #864, but the
shell programs it replaced are still the ones that run. The blocker to
retiring them is that `in-progress-drain.sh` carries a SECOND predicate,
`claimed-abandoned`, with no successor anywhere in the tree — a pattern
scan finds it in exactly two files, the dying program and its dying
suite. Retiring without it would delete 18 cases into nothing, which is
the conserves-files-not-logic defect CLOUD-908 records.

So the successor lands first, with both programs untouched and still
authoritative. That is the shape `.claude/rules/toolchain.md` names for
`gh-guard`, and it is what makes the parity comparison real.

An arm rather than a new verb: CLOUD-1182 measured 77 of 113
engine-source retirements landing a brand-new top-level noun and named
that the scope creep.

Two decisions the shell made implicitly and this makes explicit.

The refs list arrives as `--refs` EVIDENCE rather than through a
`git ls-remote`. `spec.rs` admits `landed check` to the read-only
allowlist precisely because it "starts no program", so spawning here
would take the arm off it. Gathering is the caller's half of
agents-fetch-gates-decide, where a credential belongs.

The instant is supplied rather than read. House style §6 requires
byte-stable output, which a value differing per invocation cannot give,
and without it every fixture date drifts out of the bound as the
calendar moves. The boundary parses it and the predicate is handed a day
number, so the decision stays pure.

The two-stage narrowing is behaviour, not an optimisation: `updatedAt`
is demanded of the candidates, `attachments` and `gitBranchName` only of
the stale ones. A fresh row is never demanded of a key a tracker's list
projection cannot carry, and an unresolved row in a mixed payload still
refuses — both directions in one case, so the exemption cannot hide the
refusal.
