Changes touching this path

• the everyday `loot diff` stops answering about a change instead of about your work, because the endpoint you did not type is now the disk — one rule replacing two defaults, so `status` and `diff` read one DeltaSpec rather than two spellings of it, and seeing your own uncaptured edits no longer costs you a subject line you have not thought of yet (#1491) f07d74e7 · dbf3dbe6…
• a disclosure invariant stops being written down with a reason its own test disproves twelve lines earlier, because what keeps a live delta from printing withheld content is two gates and neither is about the disk — `content_side_of` seals a recorded path outside `visible_paths_at`, and `classify` refuses rung 1 unless both sides hold bytes — which matters because `DagRepo::get` never checks grant expiry at all, so an expired grant is one decrypt away and only the seam refuses it (#1597) bc388741 · 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
• 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
• the delta reaches the TypeScript SDK as a SHAPE rather than as prose, and it is the FIRST INSTANCE of #1763 rule rather than a bespoke design: DeltaShape::of is a PROJECTION of the seam and nothing else - the mark is the #306 gutter rather than a new alphabet, the rung is the LineDelta variant, the counts are its own counts and the tally is the disclosure verbatim - so nothing here was hand-designed and the shape cannot drift from what the human rendering shows. three decisions carry the weight. added and deleted are NEVER ZERO where the count is unknown, they are absent, exactly where --stat calls a row uncounted, and ONE function now feeds both channels so the two cannot disagree. a sealed row WITHHOLDS the path, the from-path and the recipient list in both channels, because a path name is CONTENT under #306 - the shape refuses to leak through the encoding what the prose refuses to print. and the machine channel is ONE SHAPE REGARDLESS of --content and --stat, verified byte-identical, because those flags pick WORDS over a delta while this picks an ENCODING of it. the contract number is the shared VERDICT_CONTRACT and not a per-verb one, which ADR 0023 already answered for every shape and #1516 declined explicitly for porcelain, and an SDK test asserts diff and status report the SAME number so a per-verb version would go RED. a defect was caught BEFORE the freeze, which is the only time that is cheap: the first encoder used to_string_lossy, so on Windows a FROZEN contract would have shipped a backslash path beside a human line printing a forward slash - caught by the pin that compares the two RENDERINGS rather than asserting each is non-empty, and its unit pin uses an EMBEDDED backslash rather than a nested path, because a nested-path fixture is vacuous on POSIX. wire names stay snake_case deliberately, since a camelCase mirror would be a second vocabulary for one frozen contract and the only thing it could do is drift. nine mutations with counts read, and the ceiling comes DOWN 57 to 56 - the first entry on that list to PAY rather than be excepted (#1554) ac5700af · 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.
