Changes touching this path

  • loot show becomes the fourth rendering over the one delta seam and grows no differ of its own: it calls Endpoint::base, ws.content_delta and render_delta, produces no hunk, counts no line and matches no content, and the pin is byte equality rather than shape - show ends with exactly the bytes loot diff --content <parent> <sel> produces in both content and stat modes, with the leftover prefix asserted to name no path, hold no hunk header and hold no disclosure line, so a second opinion about the parent or a renderer choosing its own words for the seam's tally both go red. Four breakages proved it, and a fifth attempt was a false negative caught by its author: truncating to the last newline is a no-op, so it passed, which is exactly as misleading as a vacuous test and is why it is named here rather than quietly replaced. Three of this ticket's premises were wrong. The two commands it says reading a change takes are really one command plus reading a parent id out of loot log by eye, because <version-prefix>~1 is not a form the #305 grammar spells and only HEAD~<n> is. Subject does not mean what the criteria assume: the tree defines it as the first line of the message and this repo writes single-line paragraphs, so the first run printed a two-thousand-character subject row - nothing truncates anywhere in the CLI, so rather than invent a rule the subject moves to the last header row, above the diff where git show puts the body, instead of pushing the lineage off screen. And the no-selector arm was ambiguous in a way that made the first message false: loot status prints a live working-change row computed off the disk under ADR 0030 while working_id and the @ selector both say there is none, so saying nothing is in progress contradicted the verb next door about the same tree - the message now names which absence it is, explains the live row, and points at diff and status, and show is deliberately not widened to render anchor against disk, because that delta is bare loot diff's by construction and a second verb answering it under a header claiming a non-durable version id is the duplication #1541 deleted. A merge names which parent it is taken against and prints the command for the other side rather than pretending the diff is whole. PROSE_ONLY_CEILING rises 50 to 51 deliberately with its reason written beside it, which is the mechanism landed one change ago doing what it was built for, and a pre-existing comment claiming the arity gate is a no-op for all but one verb is repointed at the property since it has been four for some time (#1492) 7ff52d8e · dbf3dbe6…

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.
