CONTRIBUTING-AI.md pointed contributors at a CLAUDE.md "checked in and
kept current"; that file is not in the repository, so the pointer and
the twenty references to it in folder READMEs, docs and comments led
nowhere. The note goes; its one lasting rule (whoever commits a change
stands behind it, no real names, no live health figures, no secrets)
moves into CONTRIBUTING.md. The folder READMEs keep their own content
and drop the dead link, and a reference to the unpublished planning
folder goes with it.
The checked-in .mcp.json was a local editor config no workflow reads;
it is untracked and ignored now. The translation tiers are described
as machine-translated first drafts reviewed by the community, and the
list names Russian, which it missed.
The voice rule states that commits are authored by the maintainer's git
identity alone. Editors and CLIs append co-author trailers and session
links by default, and once such a line is in the object store only a
history rewrite removes it — so enforce it before the commit exists.
The guard rejects tooling co-author trailers, session links, and
generated-with lines; human co-authors and ordinary messages pass.
Published manifests are now cosign-signed keyless with a documented
digest-pinning path, a lefthook pre-commit runs gitleaks over staged
changes, responses opt into a credentialless embedder policy, the
deploy webhook can require a fresh timestamp, and a monthly drill
decrypts and parses the newest offhost backup so a broken key or format
surfaces before an emergency does.
