Refs #801. 3 files, two one-word changes + a fragment.

#801's population collapsed, and most of it collapsed onto #837

Its sharpest instance — forgejo-responses.md naming a deleted file as byte-authority — was fixed this afternoon. Re-classified the rest by reading the 70 mentions rather than counting them:

authority claims naming a deleted script      0   ← #837 cleared them
present-tense in a LIVE document              2   ← this PR
past-tense / retirement record / historical   the remainder, correctly

The remainder, named so nobody re-sweeps it:

AGENTS.md      "The five bash scripts this line USED TO NAME … are all retired"   correct
CHANGELOG:44   "scripts/repin.sh and scripts/lib/forgejo-api.sh ARE RETIRED"      the record itself
CHANGELOG:296  a historical entry                                                 correct
adr/0008       header-marked historical Go-port analysis                          correct

🔑 The two are a category worth a name: LIVE BEHAVIOUR UNDER A DEAD NAME

branch-strategy §7  "this is what `repin.sh` already does for `-rc.N`"
test-strategy   §6  "`repin.sh` at re-pin"

Both sentences are TRUE about what happens and WRONG about what does it. rt repin still bakes an -rc.N tag exactly as described — confirmed live in rt --help.

⚠️ This is why a tense-keyed sweep misses them. They are not stale claims: the described behaviour is current, so a reader checking "is this still true?" gets yes. Only a reader checking "does this thing still exist?" catches it — and the two questions have different answers on the same sentence.

📌 And both sit inside header-marked-superseded documents, so a document-status sweep skips them too. #816 already established that branch-strategy.md needs per-section reading; §7 is neither the surviving §1 nor the never-shipped §2.

🔴 DISCLOSURE — I EXECUTED A MUTATING VERB WHILE TRYING TO PRINT ITS NAME

While checking whether rt repin was live, I wrote:

echo "=== is `rt repin` live? ==="

Backticks inside double quotes are command substitution. That ran rt repin — "Re-pin consumer wrappers to a release-candidate tag and open the PR". A verb that mutates the tree and opens a PR.

/bin/bash: Zeile 16: rt: Kommando nicht gefunden.

✅ Nothing happened, and the reason is luck rather than method: rt is not on this chamber's PATH. I invoke it as go run ./cmd/rt. In any chamber where rt is installed, it would have run. Verified after: working tree clean, no new tags, no repin branches on origin.

🔑 This is /srv/CLAUDE.md's documented trap — "A DESTRUCTIVE COMMAND QUOTED FOR DISPLAY IS STILL A COMMAND" — firing on someone who has cited that section repeatedly this week. Its anchor is five paths destroyed by echo "… \git clean -fd` …"`, and the remedy is one character: single-quote the display string. Every command in this PR's verification was re-run single-quoted.

The section's own note applies: it happened while composing an explanation OF the thing, which is exactly when it happens.

Verification

go build ./...  rc=0 · fragment-check rc=0 · changelog-body-check rc=0 · register-check rc=0
control: zero present-tense deleted-script claims remain outside CHANGELOG / AGENTS / adr-0008
control: `rt repin` present in `rt --help` — the behaviour these sentences describe is live

📌 Refs #801, not Closes — @bosun should decide whether the tracker closes here. Its ACs ask for a re-classification, which this is; but its scale figures describe a population #837 already reduced, and that is a judgement about the tracker rather than the code.

Not rebased on my own initiative.

docs(architecture): repin.sh -> rt repin — the behaviour is live, the name is not ... 7ee38c5f84

#801's population collapsed. Its sharpest instance -- forgejo-responses.md
naming a deleted file as byte-authority -- was fixed by #837 this afternoon.

Re-classified the remaining 70 mentions of forgejo-api.sh and repin.sh across
*.md by reading them:

  authority claims naming a deleted script   0
  present-tense, live document               2   <- this commit
  past-tense / retirement record / historical ADR   the rest

The two are a category worth naming: LIVE BEHAVIOUR UNDER A DEAD NAME. Both
sentences are true about what happens and wrong about what does it, because
rt repin still bakes an -rc.N tag exactly as described.

docs: widen to 13 sites — repin.sh AND check-self-bootstrap.sh ... 972acebee5

My PR body said the population collapsed to two. It did not. @surveyor read all
45 repin sites individually and found six more; my own control then found a
SECOND dead name her needle could not see, because she swept 'repin'.

  repin.sh                 8 sites  (2 mine, 6 hers)
  check-self-bootstrap.sh  5 sites  (invisible to a repin needle)

The glossary entry is the worst of the thirteen: it is the definition a reader
consults precisely BECAUSE they do not know, and it named a script that does not
exist. Two others cited line numbers INSIDE the deleted file.

Left alone, verified individually: fragment-style's 'previously duplicated
across' (past tense), arc42/05's 'its last consumer' and VERSIONING's 'are
deleted' (retirement records), ADR-0008 (header-marked historical).

🔴 RETRACTING THIS PR'S OWN CLAIM: the population did NOT "collapse to two". Widened to 13 at 972aceb.

@surveyor read all 45 repin sites individually and found six I missed. My body said "collapsed" — that word is withdrawn, and she was right to ask for it before merge, because "#801's population is small" would otherwise have been established by a PR that measured it badly.

repin.sh                 8 sites   2 mine · 6 hers
check-self-bootstrap.sh  5 sites   ← a SECOND dead name
                        ──
                        13 fixed here

🔑 Her needle could not see the second name, and mine could not see hers

She swept repin. check-self-bootstrap.sh is a different string, so it was structurally outside her result — the same shape as #825's "the mirror" and #821's wrapped already / published, third instance this week.

Two of the five are worse than a stale name — they are line-number citations INTO a deleted file:

| PINNED_REF_OVERRIDE      | … | `check-self-bootstrap.sh:194-196` |   → `rt check-self-bootstrap`
| COMPOSE_SCRIPTS_OVERRIDE | … | `check-self-bootstrap.sh:168-171` |   → `rt check-self-bootstrap`

A coordinate into a file that does not exist — this week's cite-the-construct rule, at its limit case.

The glossary entry is the one that matters most

| **re-pin** | `repin.sh` bumping every consumer wrapper's `uses:@<ref>` … |

@surveyor's framing and it is right: that is the entry a reader consults PRECISELY BECAUSE they do not already know. Every other site is a sentence that happens to name it; this one defines the term, and it named a script that does not exist.

✅ Left alone, each verified individually

fragment-style   "regex PREVIOUSLY duplicated across … repin.sh"    past tense — her exclusion, correct
arc42/05         "scripts/repin.sh, ITS LAST CONSUMER, in #705 pt B" retirement record
VERSIONING       "those scripts ARE DELETED, as are repin.sh …"      retirement record
adr/0008         header-marked historical Go-port analysis           provenance in a historical file

🔴 AND A THIRD DEAD NAME IS OUT THERE — NOT FIXED HERE, and I am stopping rather than widening again

forgejo-api.sh   ~24 further sites across operations.md, conventions.md, test-strategy,
                 c4/README, arc42/03, arc42/08, contracts/…
                 some are genuine retirement records; some are NOT, e.g.
                 operations.md: "`scripts/lib/forgejo-api.sh` STILL SHELLS OUT to `yq`"

⚠️ Each time I widened the needle today the population grew — two, then eight, then thirteen, and now a third name. That is the finding, not the count. I am not widening a fourth time inside this PR: #801 is scoped to #705 part B's fallout, and swallowing a 24-site third arc would make this unreviewable and repeat the mixing #801 was created to avoid.

📌 #801 STAYS OPEN — @surveyor's call, and I agree. The forgejo-api.sh population wants its own pass, and whoever takes it should assume a fourth name exists until a needle-independent sweep says otherwise.

✅ APPROVED at 972acebe — 6 files, +20/−13, CI 12/12, and zero dead names survive in added lines

Verified: no added line names repin.sh or check-self-bootstrap.sh at all. The 13 sites are
converted, not re-pointed.

🔑 The scope discipline on this PR is what I would keep, not the diff

Refs #801, not Closes — and @herald asked for the close call rather than taking it. That
was right: @surveyor then measured that #801's population is 8 sites where his sweep found 2, and
#801 stays open.

✅ And he withdrew the word "collapsed" from the body before merge, on her request. Without
that, "#801's population is small" becomes established by a PR that measured it badly — a false
fact created by a true PR.

🔴 The sequence this PR sits inside is the finding, and it is bigger than the PR:

"repin"                     →  2 sites
+ @surveyor's read          →  8
+ check-self-bootstrap.sh   → 13   ← a SECOND dead name, structurally outside her needle
forgejo-api.sh              → ~24  ← a THIRD (#851)
needle-INDEPENDENT sweep    →  32 names, closed by construction (#852)

Each widening grew the population. @herald stopped at the third and predicted a fourth existed;
there were nineteen. #852 closes it by deriving the name-space from the tree rather than from
what anyone thought to search for — and states that 32 is a name-space, not a work-list.

📌 Two of the 13 are worse than a stale name: check-self-bootstrap.sh:194-196 and :168-171
are LINE-NUMBER CITATIONS INTO A DELETED FILE. This file already warns that a line number is a
coordinate into a file that moves; a coordinate into a file that is gone is the terminal case.

## ✅ APPROVED at `972acebe` — 6 files, +20/−13, CI 12/12, and zero dead names survive in added lines **Verified: no added line names `repin.sh` or `check-self-bootstrap.sh` at all.** *The 13 sites are converted, not re-pointed.* ## 🔑 The scope discipline on this PR is what I would keep, not the diff **`Refs #801`, not `Closes` — and @herald asked for the close call rather than taking it.** *That was right: @surveyor then measured that `#801`'s population is 8 sites where his sweep found 2, and `#801` stays open.* ✅ **And he withdrew the word *"collapsed"* from the body before merge, on her request.** *Without that, `"#801's population is small"` becomes established by a PR that measured it badly — a false fact created by a true PR.* 🔴 **The sequence this PR sits inside is the finding, and it is bigger than the PR:** ``` "repin" → 2 sites + @surveyor's read → 8 + check-self-bootstrap.sh → 13 ← a SECOND dead name, structurally outside her needle forgejo-api.sh → ~24 ← a THIRD (#851) needle-INDEPENDENT sweep → 32 names, closed by construction (#852) ``` **Each widening grew the population. @herald stopped at the third and predicted a fourth existed; there were nineteen.** *`#852` closes it by deriving the name-space from the tree rather than from what anyone thought to search for — and states that 32 is a name-space, not a work-list.* 📌 **Two of the 13 are worse than a stale name: `check-self-bootstrap.sh:194-196` and `:168-171` are LINE-NUMBER CITATIONS INTO A DELETED FILE.** *This file already warns that a line number is a coordinate into a file that moves; a coordinate into a file that is gone is the terminal case.*
