What

Two one-line mechanical corrections against the estate's Markdown baseline,
plus the contract that makes the second of them provable.

The pin. .github/workflows/ci.yml pinned the lint action at
4580e1612f6407034edd6c0e4e316d725920867b, which is the annotated tag
object
for v24.2.0 rather than the commit it names:

$ gh api repos/DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli2-action/git/refs/tags/v24.2.0 --jq '.object.type, .object.sha'
tag
4580e1612f6407034edd6c0e4e316d725920867b
$ gh api repos/DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli2-action/git/tags/4580e1612f6407034edd6c0e4e316d725920867b --jq '.object.type, .object.sha'
commit
21c1be1b93ad9ed58fa840aacc3f279cde2a72ff

Same release, same code. The version comment is unchanged because the version
is unchanged.

The ignore. .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc carried **/.uv-cache/** where the
canonical configuration lists .uv-cache/**. Both are listed now.

Why

PD-006 asks for a full commit SHA, and the pin named a different kind of
object from the one the rule describes. PD-005 asks for every baseline ignore
glob verbatim, and a glob that reads as equivalent is not the same glob.

The two cache globs differ in scope, but not in the direction an earlier draft
of this description claimed: **/ matches zero directories as readily as
several, so **/.uv-cache/** is the wider of the two and already covered a
cache at the repository root. Measured on markdownlint-cli2 0.22.1, removing
.uv-cache/** again lints the same 142 files. The change therefore stands as a
conformance fix rather than a coverage fix, and the code comment, the test
docstring, and the developer-guide subsection all say so rather than repeating
the earlier claim.

Contract

test_the_linter_configuration_keeps_every_baseline_ignore asserts the eight
baseline globs are present in the configuration. Extra ignores are allowed and
this repository has several; only a missing baseline entry is an offence.

Mutation: removing .uv-cache/** again fails that test and nothing else in the
suite.

The baseline list is written out in the contract rather than fetched from the
concordat repository. A contract that read the canon over the network would be
a gate on somebody else's availability, and the cost, that a canon change
needs this list changed with it, is the point at which somebody decides whether
to adopt it.

Review follow-up

The four line-level findings raised on this branch are actioned in 097247d6:

  • JSONC. The reader stripped whole-line // comments only, so a block
    comment, a trailing comment, or a trailing comma reached json.loads and
    raised. It is now a scanner, extracted to
    tests/workflow_contracts/markdown_gates.py: a string literal is copied
    through whole, so the // in a URL and the /* in a glob stay content,
    while both comment forms are dropped wherever whitespace may appear. Eleven
    cases cover what the linter accepts and three assert what it rejects, so a
    reader loose enough to accept anything cannot pass the contract over a
    configuration the linter refuses. Confirmed against the linter rather than
    its documentation: markdownlint-cli2 0.22.1 ships parsers/jsonc-parse.mjs,
    which calls jsonc-parser's parse with allowTrailingComma.
  • ignores shape. A mapping would have matched the baseline against its
    keys and a string against substrings. The list is now asserted to be a list
    of strings before any membership check.
  • BASELINE_IGNORES typing. Annotated tuple[str, ...].
  • Pin value assertion. Added, and reasoned about below.

What this does not do

The repin is not provable by mutation.
test_build_job_lints_markdown_through_the_upstream_action requires forty hex
characters, and a tag object satisfies that as readily as a commit.
Distinguishing them means asking the upstream repository, so a hermetic
contract cannot, and this change deliberately does not add a gate that reaches
the network. The exposure is small, since a tag object is content addressed
and cannot be repointed by a force push, but it is real and is recorded here
rather than papered over. This is the same position leynos/nile-valley#109
took.

The commit is nonetheless asserted by value where the developer guide's
"Workflow pins and Dependabot" rule otherwise prescribes shape only. That
rule's cost is a lockstep edit on every Dependabot bump, and the cost does not
arise here: the version comment beside the pin names no value, and
Dependabot's subject and commit message both carry the incoming tag, so the
version and the constant move in one commit. A bump that moves the pin without
moving the constant fails the contract, and that is what the assertion is for.

  • Pin markdownlint-cli2-action to a full commit SHA.
  • Restore the root-level .uv-cache/** ignore.
  • Add a contract test for the eight canonical Markdown ignore globs.
  • Preserve additional repository-specific ignore globs.

Validation

  • Report successful workflow contract, formatting, Python lint, GitHub Actions lint, Markdown lint, and type checks.
  • Do not add network-based tag-object validation.

Walkthrough

The Markdown lint workflow now uses a different commit for the same action version. The configuration ignores .uv-cache/**. Contract tests parse JSONC and verify the required baseline ignore globs.

Full details: Testing (Overall)

Explanation

The new ignore contract is substantive. It reads .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc, compares the declared globs with all eight BASELINE_IGNORES entries, and the base configuration would fail because it lacks .uv-cache/**. The action repin is not guarded by an equally effective test. test_build_job_lints_markdown_through_the_upstream_action only checks [0-9a-f]{40}. Both the old annotated-tag object SHA 4580e1612f6407034edd6c0e4e316d725920867b and the new commit SHA 21c1be1b93ad9ed58fa840aacc3f279cde2a72ff satisfy that assertion. Therefore, reverting the changed workflow pin would pass the test and the test does not exercise the changed behaviour.

Resolution

Strengthen test_build_job_lints_through_the_upstream_action with an assertion for the intended commit SHA (21c1be1b93ad9ed58fa840aacc3f279cde2a72ff). Keep the existing format assertion. This local contract need not test the third-party action itself, but it must reject the previous tag-object pin and other unintended refs.

Full details: Developer Documentation

Explanation

Add the required developer documentation. The PR changes Markdown tooling behaviour: it adds a root .uv-cache/** ignore and adds a workflow contract that requires eight baseline ignore globs. docs/developers-guide.md documents the Markdown commands, shared configuration, and SHA pin shape, but it does not document the baseline ignore requirement or the new contract. The PR changes no documentation, design, ADR, roadmap, or execplan files. The existing guide is sufficient for the action pin because it already states that CI uses a SHA-pinned DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli2-action; the missing baseline-contract documentation remains a direct gap.

Resolution

Update docs/developers-guide.md in the Markdown tooling section. Document that .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc is JSONC shared by local and CI linting, that the configuration must retain the eight verbatim baseline ignore globs including .uv-cache/**, that repository-specific extra ignores are allowed, and that make test-workflow-contracts enforces this floor. Record the reason for the root cache glob and the non-networked, hard-coded baseline decision. Then run the documented Markdown and workflow contract checks.

Two mechanical corrections against the estate's Markdown baseline.

`ci.yml` pinned the lint action at `4580e1612f6407034edd6c0e4e316d725920867b`,
which is the annotated tag object for v24.2.0 rather than the commit it names.
The commit is `21c1be1b93ad9ed58fa840aacc3f279cde2a72ff`, resolved through the
refs API. Same release, same code; the version comment is unchanged because
the version is unchanged. PD-006 asks for a full commit SHA, and the pin named
a different kind of object from the one the rule describes.

`.markdownlint-cli2.jsonc` carried `**/.uv-cache/**` where the canonical
configuration lists `.uv-cache/**`. PD-005 wants every baseline glob verbatim,
and the two are not the same set: the repository's own cache sits at the root,
which is where the canonical form is anchored. Both are listed now, because
this repository's extra ignores are its own business and only a missing
baseline entry is an offence.

`test_the_linter_configuration_keeps_every_baseline_ignore` asserts the eight
baseline globs against the file. Removing `.uv-cache/**` again fails it and
nothing else. The baseline list is written out here rather than fetched: a
contract that read the canon over the network would be a gate on somebody
else's availability.

The repin is not provable by mutation.
`test_build_job_lints_markdown_through_the_upstream_action` matches forty hex
characters, which a tag object satisfies as readily as a commit, and telling
them apart means asking the upstream repository. No network-reaching gate is
added for it, and the exposure is small either way, since a tag object is
content addressed and cannot be repointed by a force push.

**issue (bug_risk):** When `.markdownlint-cli2.jsonc` contains a valid JSONC block comment, inline comment, or trailing comma, `_without_comments` leaves it for `json.loads`, which raises `JSONDecodeError` and makes the workflow contract fail even though the linter accepts the configuration.

**Triggers:** When the JSONC configuration uses syntax beyond whole-line `//` comments.

**Suggested fix:** Use a JSONC parser or implement parsing that handles the JSONC syntax supported by the linter instead of removing only whole-line comments.

<issue_to_address>
**issue (testing):** If `ignores` is malformed as a mapping or string containing the baseline globs, the membership checks still pass because they test key or substring membership rather than requiring a JSON array of glob strings, so the contract can pass while markdownlint rejects the configuration.

**Triggers:** When the configuration has a non-array `ignores` value that contains all eight baseline strings as keys or substrings.

**Suggested fix:** Validate that `declared` is a list of strings before checking membership, and fail the contract otherwise.

```suggestion
    declared = json.loads(_without_comments(text)).get("ignores", [])
    assert isinstance(declared, list) and all(
        isinstance(glob, str) for glob in declared

The review comments on #734 asked for two things the first pass had not
done: a reader that accepts the JSONC shapes markdownlint-cli2 accepts,
and a value assertion on the repinned action.

The reader. `_without_comments` stripped whole-line `//` comments only,
so a block comment, a trailing comment, or a trailing comma reached
`json.loads` and raised. markdownlint-cli2 parses the file with
`jsonc-parser` in its default mode, which honors both comment forms
anywhere whitespace may appear and allows a trailing comma before `}` or
`]`. The replacement is a scanner rather than a set of substitutions: a
string is copied through whole, so the `//` in a URL and the `/*` in a
glob are content rather than syntax. Eleven cases cover the accepted
shapes, and three malformed inputs pin the other half, that a reader
loose enough to accept anything would let the contract pass over a file
the linter refuses. Extracted to `markdown_gates.py`, because the
additions put the test module over the 400-line cap the lint gate
enforces.

The assertion. The pin test matched forty hex characters, which the
annotated tag object satisfies as readily as the commit it names. The
commit is now asserted by value, with the reasoning recorded where the
developer guide otherwise prescribes shape only: the version comment
names no value and Dependabot's subject carries the incoming tag, so the
pin and the constant move in one commit rather than in lockstep.

The documentation. The developer guide gains the baseline ignore
contract, the eight globs, and why the list is written out rather than
fetched.

One correction to what the first pass claimed. Its comment and PR body
said `**/.uv-cache/**` does not match a cache at the repository root,
while `.uv-cache/**` does. That is backwards. `**/` matches zero
directories as readily as several, so the doubled-star form is the wider
of the two and already covered the root cache; measured on
markdownlint-cli2 0.22.1, dropping `.uv-cache/**` again lints the same
142 files. Restoring the canon entry is a conformance fix, and the
comment, the test and the new documentation now say so.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The docstring justified the check with a near-miss example: that
`**/.uv-cache/**` covers a different set from `.uv-cache/**`, so a
repository could pass its gates while linting a directory the baseline
excludes. Measurement does not support that. `**/` matches zero
directories as readily as several, so the doubled-star form is the wider
of the two, and here the baseline entry is redundant with an extra glob
the repository already lists.

The check is of presence rather than of effect, and that is worth saying
plainly: a canon entry that stops being listed is drift a reader
comparing the two files by eye would have to notice.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
`make lint` failed on R9103 from the df12 house lints: the escape and
quote cases in `_string_end` are a constant chain over one expression, and
the rule asks for a match statement. `workflow_loading` already answers
the same rule the same way in `require_mapping` and `require_list`, so
this is the house idiom rather than a workaround.

Review disposition record

Four line-level findings were raised against this branch and all four are
actioned in 097247d6. Recording each with its evidence and its confirmation,
@coderabbitai, so the whole set is closed rather than only the two threads a
reply happened to land on.

  1. _without_comments could not read block comments, trailing comments, or
    trailing commas
    — the reader now scans in
    tests/workflow_contracts/markdown_gates.py. Evidence: eleven acceptance
    cases and three rejection cases run in make test-workflow-contracts;
    mutation, restoring the whole-line-only reader, gives 1 failed, 6 passed
    with json.JSONDecodeError, and restoring the scanner gives 7 passed.
    Confirmed fixed in thread reply 4058298639.
  2. ignores membership passed for a mapping or a string — the body now
    asserts isinstance(declared, list) and then that every entry is a str,
    before any membership test, split across two assertions because
    pytest-composite-assertion is enabled. Confirmed fixed in thread reply
    4058298870.
  3. BASELINE_IGNORES had no annotation — it is tuple[str, ...], in
    markdown_gates_test.py. Confirmed in thread reply 4058299027.
  4. JSONC parsing had to match markdownlint-cli2 — the same scanner, and
    the permissiveness was measured rather than assumed: markdownlint-cli2
    0.22.1 ships parsers/jsonc-parse.mjs, which calls jsonc-parser's parse
    with allowTrailingComma. Confirmed in thread reply 4058299838.

The one comment from Codex on this pull request is a usage-limit notice rather
than a finding, so it carries nothing to action.

Also worth recording, because it is in the code comments and the developer
guide as well as this description: the original rationale for restoring
.uv-cache/** was wrong. **/ matches zero directories as readily as
several, so **/.uv-cache/** is the wider form and already covered a
cache at the repository root. Measured on markdownlint-cli2 0.22.1, dropping
.uv-cache/** again lints the same 142 files. The change stands as a
conformance fix — the canon lists the entry and PD-005 asks for it verbatim —
but it is no longer described as a coverage fix.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@pandalump, accept the disposition record.

Treat all four line-level findings as addressed in 097247d6. The scanner, type assertions, and tuple[str, ...] annotation resolve the reported defects.

Treat .uv-cache/** as a canonical conformance entry. Do not describe it as a coverage fix. **/.uv-cache/** already covers both root-level and nested .uv-cache directories.

Learning: In `leynos/netsuke`, `.markdownlint-cli2.jsonc` retains `.uv-cache/**` because the canonical baseline and PD-005 require that exact glob. This entry is a conformance requirement, not a coverage requirement: `**/.uv-cache/**` already matches a root-level `.uv-cache` directory as well as nested directories.

Learning: In the Python workflow-contract tests, `tests/workflow_contracts/markdown_gates.py` parses `.markdownlint-cli2.jsonc` with a scanner because no JSONC parser is available in the repository toolchain. The scanner must preserve comment-like content inside JSON strings, remove `//` and `/* ... */` comments outside strings, and remove trailing commas before `}` or `]`. `tests/workflow_contracts/markdown_gates_test.py` verifies accepted JSONC forms through `JSONC_CASES` and verifies malformed inputs still raise `json.JSONDecodeError`.

## What

One line. `.github/workflows/ci.yml` pins the Markdown lint action at
`4580e1612f6407034edd6c0e4e316d725920867b`, which is the **annotated tag
object** for `v24.2.0` rather than the commit it names:

```
$ gh api repos/DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli2-action/git/refs/tags/v24.2.0 --jq '.object.type, .object.sha'
tag
4580e1612f6407034edd6c0e4e316d725920867b
$ gh api repos/DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli2-action/git/tags/4580e161... --jq '.object.type, .object.sha'
commit
21c1be1b93ad9ed58fa840aacc3f279cde2a72ff
```

The version comment is unchanged, because the version is unchanged. This
repins the same release to the same code.

## Why

PD-006 asks for a full commit SHA. Nothing is broken today: GitHub resolves
the tag object, the step runs, and a tag object is content addressed, so
unlike a floating tag it cannot be repointed by a force push. The reason to
change it is that the pin names a different kind of object from the one the
rule describes.

## What this does not do

It is not provable by mutation. A hermetic contract can only check the shape
of the ref, and forty hex characters is what a tag object gives as readily as
a commit; distinguishing them means asking the upstream repository. No
network-reaching gate is added for it.

## Scope

This repository's `.markdownlint-cli2.jsonc` already carries every baseline
ignore glob verbatim, and `fmt` and `check-fmt` already call `mdtablefix`
directly over `--git --include-untracked`, so the rest of the Markdown
baseline needs nothing here. The equivalents elsewhere are leynos/netsuke#734
and leynos/nile-valley#109.

## Verification

`actionlint` is clean on the changed file. Nothing else in the repository
references the old pin.

## Summary by Sourcery

Enhancements:
- Repin the Markdown lint GitHub Action to the full commit SHA for the existing v24.2.0 release.
