Changes touching this path

• the three hints that speak when a git pull ran ahead of a loot pull say one thing, and the hazard names loot new, the verb that actually signs, instead of describe, which does not (#1391) 7a273f8d · dbf3dbe6…
• loot converge stops buying a second whole-tree read for the note it prints, because the implicit capture one seam below has already read that tree, and the series added to catch exactly this learns to fail: its fixture had neither the co-located checkout nor the standing fork the branch needs, so it could not reach the cost it was watching (#1401) 12c1207a · dbf3dbe6…diff
• the landed-content hazard names loot edit, the second route to the same signature, because reopening a finalized change carries its handle and the loot new that closes the amend signs under it, and the block three hints rebuilt by hand at an indent a comment asked for is now assembled once in landed.rs (#1404) 909e8b37 · dbf3dbe6…diff
• deleting a named read on Workspace stops being free, because the 377 places that reached past it into the engine and the store now go through those faces instead — repo() no longer exists, store() is module-private, and the three extracted children share their fixtures by name rather than through the parent's private test module (#1411) c454db04 · dbf3dbe6…diff
• content whose embargo has already lifted stops reading as sealed, because promoting due keys out of escrow is now the construction of the reader every content read hangs off instead of a doc-comment obligation six callers hoisted by hand, and deleting four of those hoists left all 2438 tests green while loot surface told an author to request a grant from herself (#1464) e59e46b3 · dbf3dbe6…diff
• reading history stops meaning reading every row, because `loot log` grows a when column, --oneline, -n and --reverse — and the date it prints is the one `authored_clock` and `when_human` already decided for heads and evolog, not a fourth spelling, while `log_selector` stops stepping past flags by hand and reads the declaration instead, which is what would have made `loot log -n 3` refuse about a change id nobody typed (#1494) b61d5bc4 · dbf3dbe6…diff
• the pathspec option group gets its first production consumer, and being inert turns out to have been invisible by construction: all five .groups attachments sat inside cfg(test), so Pathspec::keep returned at its is_active guard on every production call and no test could see it, because a filter that never runs changes no output - which is why delta.rs claimed in the present tense that diff, status and show were all served by that line while none of them attached the group. diff and status now attach it, diff narrowing at #1541's seam so rows, --stat and --content inherit one filter rather than each applying its own, and a -- separator arrives with it because a pathspec needs a way to say the rest are paths. Two states the ticket did not name are where the real bugs were. status builds its delta lazily, gated on the human format, so --porcelain and --json never reached the seam at all and attaching the group alone would have left both machine formats printing an unfiltered listing at exit 0 - the format an agent reads, which is the caller this class is dangerous to; and with no working change status returns before reading the tree, so loot status zzz would still have exited 0 in the primary checkout while passing every test on a seeded temp repo, since a seeded repo is never empty. Both are now answered from the seam, the second gated on is_active so pathless callers pay nothing. status also stops silently dropping its argument, which removes it from OPEN_BUT_TAKES_NONE and leaves 23 - by the other route, taking paths properly rather than declaring NO_ARGS, and the list's prose implies the latter is the fix for the names still on it, which would foreclose the better answer for surface, converge and ferry. The false sentence is narrowed rather than deleted and carries why it was written a ticket early, in delta.rs, flags.rs, the census doc and CONTEXT.md. Eight breakages proved the tests non-vacuous, planned before they were written, and dropping both attachments - the exact pre-ticket inert state - turns six of six process tests red plus the census pin (#1493) 35ed624c · dbf3dbe6…diff
• loot log gets a machine shape, and the seam it needed turns out to have existed all along: every verb already renders through Emit, so nothing had to be plumbed - what was missing is that the prose-only verbs return Message, which collapses their structure into a String at the cmd_ site, before the format is known. So adding machine output is not teaching the renderer a second format, it is stopping a verb destroying its own data on the way out, which is why it cannot be done to forty-seven verbs mechanically and why this ticket does one. Log, LogChange and LogWorking hold the structure and render all three formats from it, consuming topology.rs by making the same two calls --graph makes and reading row, edges, elided and merge straight off the nodes - no second walk, no ancestry query, and the module never sees a Workspace, so the manifests d6be741 stopped materializing stay unmaterialized. The load-bearing subtlety is that edges are indices into the shipped array, so --reverse has to happen before Topology::of rather than after, and the pin reads edges back as version-byte pairs so a wrong index cannot pass as a right one. The empty head is why head rows exist at all: b0cffc66 records no changes of its own, so it has an H row and no change row anywhere, and without the head rows a two-head repo would reach a machine reader looking unforked. What stops the other verbs being forgotten is a census that names rather than counts, two set-equal lists over derived vectors plus a sum, reusing the existing machine_output_verbs so it cannot disagree with the USAGE census - and the debt list may only shrink. Two ADRs are amended rather than edited past: 0023 quotes its own sentence that nothing needs machine output from log or manifest and says log graduates while manifest does not, and narrows its porcelain-first framing as written for a homogeneous per-path verdict rather than a shape with nested arrays; 0066's three counts had to move in place because a test asserts them against the roster. And both numbers in this ticket's scoping were wrong the same way source_walk was wrong in 9559f0a, a grep for one spelling of a thing with two: the table holds 66 verbs and not 54 because twelve rows are verb_of, sixteen took a machine selector and not seven, and ADR 0066 had recorded the right figures three weeks earlier. Criterion four had nothing to satisfy, because the SDK never calls loot log at all (#1540) 915db92c · dbf3dbe6…diff
• ahead and behind against a remote without pushing to find out, and the thesis constraint is met as a property of the REQUEST rather than as advice: the question carries an EMPTY PAYLOAD and every comparison is local. a relay is asked POST /haves with a zero length body, a forge POST /ref with a signed envelope over zero bytes, so a repo of one path emits BYTE IDENTICAL bytes to a repo of ten thousand and the question has no room to encode paths, object addresses, or even our own heads. the two endpoints that could are forbidden on this path and ADR 0021 now records why: /wants sends our object addresses, which are per-content identifiers, so a status in a loop hands the relay a per-path edit-frequency profile of ciphertext it cannot open - ADR 0083 refusal at a higher call rate - and /offer sends our head ids, which a push may do because a push is a CHOSEN act and status is not. the pin asserts the recorded path-and-body list SET EQUAL to exactly /info and /haves both empty, asserts the two recordings equal across two very different positions, and carries a positive control that a real push through the same stub records a NON-EMPTY body; mutated into the rejected design it goes red with /wants carrying a literal 32 byte address. offline is split POSITIVELY, the site gate SKIPPED-OFFLINE rule: only reqwest own is_connect and is_timeout may be called offline, and anything that ARRIVED - a refusal, a 404, a proxy page, a truncated body - is unusable, because those are different facts and collapsing them is how a guess gets reported as a measurement. the relay answered and holds nothing is a THIRD thing and reads as declared with a count. every unknown count renders dash or null and NEVER zero, so a machine that never reached the network cannot emit a number, and log --unpushed REFUSES rather than printing an empty listing, because a listing has no row meaning I could not ask and an empty one reads as everything is pushed. the asymmetry is stated rather than faked: unpushed is exact, being the same change lane a push would send through the same ancestor_closure, while unpulled is zero exactly when every declared head is held here and UNKNOWN otherwise, since a head declaration says what the tips are and not how deep they run. no FORMAT_MAJOR bump and the reason is recorded: ADR 0019 marker exists to prevent misparse of a durable or on-wire artifact, an unasked status emits byte identical porcelain, and the R row lives behind a flag that did not exist when the shape froze. no revset predicate either, because loot-revset is handed a GraphView and a KeyOracle and nothing else (#868), so a predicate answering over HTTP would put a network round trip inside revset::select and therefore inside grep and format-patch too (#1522) 2237a331 · dbf3dbe6…diff
• shallow clone lands with the cut on the RECEIVING side, and that is why no wire moves and no format major does either: the fetch body is a format-marked pair of oid runs, so a depth field would be a new wire shape and therefore a bump, where taking the whole change lane and KEEPING n generations needs no new field, no new endpoint and no server change - a shallow client works against every relay and forge already deployed, including older ones. the price is stated rather than glossed: the change lane metadata crosses once in full on the first round, and what is saved is the object bodies, which is where a history bytes are, exact from the second round onward. the no-false-absence guard lives in THREE places and none of them is a verb - assemble, which every CLI open lands in, measures the frontier; apply_bundle_reaching, the only thing that can move one, re-measures it; and the dispatcher states it on stderr after BOTH the success and the refusal arm, because a refusal is a false absence WORST shape. it cannot be bypassed by a verb that forgets to ask: there is no path from the CLI to history that skips assemble, and the one way to open without measuring is to declare RepoNeed without graph, which makes the first history read PANIC - so the declaration that would silence the notice is the same one that aborts the verb. it rides stderr rather than the shape, so json and porcelain stay byte identical under ADR 0023, and a complete position emits nothing at all. depth never reaches the remote AT ALL, pinned three ways: every recorded request re-encoded through the real codec is exactly header plus 32 bytes per id with no room for a depth or a path, the union of every have and wants is a SUBSET of what the relay itself named in a prior answer, and the aimed one is that two positions cloning the same history at the same depth and differing ONLY in their sparse view emit BYTE IDENTICAL requests. the test relay recorder had to start capturing IDS rather than counts, because a privacy claim about a request cannot be checked against a length. two findings came out of the sweep rather than the design. one mutation stayed GREEN and refuted a claim already written into four files - that shallowness is stable because the frontier id rides the declared closure - since a declared have IS a closure claim and the held tips therefore already subtract everything behind the cut; every occurrence is now the narrow true sentence with the refutation beside it. and a count assertion caught a silent no-op: the obvious deepen posture, the closure minus the frontier, comes back with an EMPTY change lane REPORTING SUCCESS, because the remaining ids are still descendants of the cut - a deepen must declare NOTHING, and the posture is now derived from the bound so the wrong pair cannot be spelled. the body-deferring filter is NOT attempted and is the one criterion left: it needs a lazy object read on every get, surface and diff path plus a policy for what happens offline, and half-building it would put a FIFTH kind of not-here into a store that already distinguishes four (#1527) 2cccbe27 · dbf3dbe6…diff
• the condition that could not be false is gone, and so is the pair that made it possible: merged stops being a FIELD set by hand at three construction sites and becomes a DERIVED method over the one bit that decides it, so the two cannot disagree - unrepresentable rather than guarded. eighteen reads follow it, and eight of those were conjunctions that are now TAUTOLOGIES, reduced to one term rather than left standing to read as two conditions. the test was rebuilt by moving a DIFFERENT AXIS, because a second catch-up can never reach the block at all: the fixture now puts a real second commit on the checkout main, so the DOCK is still behind and the catch-up genuinely runs, writes the tree and reaches the block, while the CHECKOUT is level and the block declines - and deleting the predicate reddens two tests. the DISCRIMINATION is the part worth reading: under that same mutation the OLD test stays GREEN, which is precisely the defect this ticket describes, demonstrated rather than asserted. the printed recipe stops handing the operator a command that ERRORS. the tree delta now returns what was WRITTEN and what was REMOVED apart, and a removal gets a tree read for its proof, because there is no file to hash, and a checkout for its repair - placed BEFORE the merge, since restoring the file is what lets the merge run at all. the plumbing needed a pin of its own, and that is proved rather than assumed: folding removals back into the written set reddens the workspace pin while the rendering pin stays GREEN. the off-main arm gains its PROOF and withholds only its REMEDY, and says that it withholds it and why, because the byte comparison does not turn on where HEAD is while the repair does - with that limit stated in the same list the module other limits live in, rather than left for a reader to discover. the section this run added about careful sentences gets its own grammar fixed, a stray fragment from an earlier draft removed and a clause given its missing object - and NO count added, with a number that was being carried forward replaced by the property, consecutive sweeps each turning one up. the only-shorthand claim is narrowed at all three sites to the width of the check that backs it, which is a claim about ONE declaration and nothing wider. and the tenth copy of the short-hash helper becomes one, with the unguarded universal above it replaced by what it actually is and an explicit note of what it does not cover (#1911) 53ede622 · dbf3dbe6…diff

Renames are not followed. loot's tree maps a path to an address, so a rename is a delete and an add. This list is the history of the name, not of the bytes.
