 **Implementations.**
 - PR #31 (Localization + regression gates): shipped 2026-05-25. Observed effect: pending — needs N cycles of data. Adds a Phase 3 "Localization verification" step (enumerate files, `test -f`, grep for the named surface area) and a Phase 8 regression gate (bug-fix `Closes #N` requires a new/modified test or validation step). Generalized to projects whose external anchor is manual validation rather than tests.
 - PR #52 (Add documentation-accuracy and unit-test-expansion work-mode stages to Phase 2): shipped 2026-06-08. Observed effect: pending — needs N cycles of data. Adds Stage B, a characterization-test work-mode that locks in current behavior and builds the regression guards this finding argues are the only way to distinguish a real fix from a coincidental patch — and forbids changing production code under a test-only cycle, so an apparent bug becomes a filed issue rather than an unverified patch.
+- PR #108 (Broaden Step 2 to find the PR template under every accepted spelling): shipped 2026-08-07. Observed effect: pending — needs N cycles of data. Widens Step 2's PR-template bullet from a single lowercase path to every spelling and location GitHub accepts. Applies the finding one level earlier than PR #31 does: before a generated skill can localize within its repo, Step 2 must localize the repo's own convention files, and a silently under-matching file list loses that input with no trace.

 **Issue and PR patterns**
 - `.github/CODEOWNERS` — who reviews PRs
-- `.github/pull_request_template.md` — PR body requirements
+- `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` or `.github/pull_request_template.md` (either spelling is also accepted at the repo root or under `docs/`, and a `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/` directory holds a repo's multiple templates) — PR body requirements. On a case-sensitive filesystem only the exact spelling present will match, so check each rather than the lowercase `.github/` path alone
