bare-root-worklist: the one DECLARED-NARROWER row with no spelling sits outside the new declaration pin, and its gate does declare a hint #15270
Description
The declaration pin added in #15201 holds every DECLARED-NARROWER record in
scripts/pm/bare-root-worklist.mjs SET-EQUAL to its gate's own declared hint array, read out
of the gate source. It reaches nine of the ten such rows. The tenth is outside it, by the
pin's own scoping rule rather than by oversight:
scripts/check-driver-conformance.mjs DRIVERS_DIR packages
That row carries verdict DECLARED-NARROWER and no spelling field, so there is no
recorded set for the pin to compare, and it is skipped. Meanwhile its gate does declare a
hint at that root — measured at a23603ea:
auditSource('scripts/check-driver-conformance.mjs', src)
-> ROOT_DIR_WATCH_HINTS = ['packages/drivers/**']
So the record says "the gate took the escape, at a strictly narrower subtree" and names the
subtree only in prose. Nothing holds that prose to the array, which is exactly the class
#15201 measured one row over: the gate can widen or drop packages/drivers/** and this row
keeps its verdict with every pin in the file green.
Every other DECLARED-NARROWER row names a SPELLINGS entry. The docblock requires one only
for SPELLABLE-UNDECLARED ("⛔ Every record MUST carry a spelling"), so this row is not in
breach of any stated rule today — the question is whether that requirement should extend to
DECLARED-NARROWER, which is the verdict whose whole content is a claim about a declaration.
Shape of the repair (for whoever picks it up): measure the gate's walk and the tracked
population under packages/ on one tree, record a SPELLINGS entry for packages/drivers/**
with an independent holds, point the row at it, and then tighten the pin so a
DECLARED-NARROWER row without a spelling reds instead of being skipped — the floor that
stops the class from growing back. Both terms of that row must be measured together; the map's
docblock forbids refreshing one apart from the other.
Not urgent and nothing reds on it today. Found while implementing #15201, whose dispatch ruled
every other worklist row out of its file surface by name. Filed unassigned.

"premise_still_valid": true,
"summary": "Verified the card's premise by measurement rather than by reading: at the base commit 2200f8e the worklist self-test is green (54 rows / 46 verdicts / 9 DECLARED-NARROWER held) AND stays green when the gate's declared hint array is mutated in a scratch copy, so the tenth row was blind to a declaration change at its own root. Recorded a SPELLINGS entry 'driver package files' for the hint the gate does declare (segments packages / drivers / star-star, joined at runtime, with an independent holds), pointed the row at it, and re-measured both terms of the row together on one tree with the base commit and tree in the why. Tightened the pin: the requirement to carry a spelling now extends from SPELLABLE-UNDECLARED to DECLARED-NARROWER, stated in that verdict's own definition and held by --self-test, whose failure text names the offending rows and states the remedy. Ten DECLARED-NARROWER records are now held SET-EQUAL to their gate's declared array. The gate was not edited; its own self-test runs green, unchanged. Note on the walk (the dispatch's stop condition did not fire): the walk IS recursive, so the recursive hint does not err by depth, but it does err WIDE by the 30 tracked files the gate neither opens nor stats, and the row's why records that direction with the composition.",
"tests": "SELF-TEST BEFORE (base 2200f8e, exit 0): 'OK self-test: 54 live row(s), 46 unreachable as spelled, 46 recorded verdict(s) ... 20 record(s) carry a spelling and every one of 14 distinct spelling(s) is pinned LIVE, PRECISE and COMPLETE ... 9 DECLARED-NARROWER record(s) are held SET-EQUAL, in both directions, to their gate's own declared hint array read from its source'. SELF-TEST AFTER (9b57697, exit 0): same line with '21 record(s) carry a spelling', '15 distinct spelling(s)', '10 DECLARED-NARROWER record(s) are held SET-EQUAL'; row and verdict counts unchanged at 54 / 46. MEASUREMENT (one tree, commit 2200f8e, tree b8ebad25; both terms together, neither refreshed apart): the gate's walk was driven under an fs recorder (a CJS preload patching node:fs plus syncBuiltinESMExports, since the gate exports nothing) rather than reproduced by hand: it OPENS 344 tracked .ts files at any depth under each discovered driver package's src (node_modules and dist skipped) of 379 tracked under the declared subtree (90.8%), against 5979 tracked under the bare root (5.8%); it STATS 5 per-package manifests, so 349 of 379 are reached one way or the other; the 30 it neither opens nor stats are 11 markdown, 6 tsconfig JSON, 6 config .ts beside the manifests, 5 LICENSE, one .mjs and one dotfile. auditSource over the gate returns one declaration, ok=true, one hint at this root, so the record is SET-EQUAL with no omits. SWEEP DIFF vs the base tree's output: exactly one line differs, this row's why (diff exit 1, one hunk, 25c25). No verdict moved; header counts identical. ABLATION A (from the COMMITTED state, restore trap on absolute paths, leg = mutate, prove on disk, run, restore, prove): deleted the row's new spelling line -- file blob 0b8a0e98 to 4ae20f81, grep for the removed text 0 hits (was 1), grep for the SPELLINGS entry still 1 -- self-test exit 1, 2 failures, the first naming the row: 'UNSPELLED: scripts/check-driver-conformance.mjs DRIVERS_DIR packages'. Restored: hash-object 0b8a0e98 equal to the HEAD blob, git diff HEAD empty, git status --porcelain empty. ABLATION B: added a second hint at the same root to the gate's declared array -- gate blob 3519847a to bfaff385, injected-text grep 1 hit, original single-hint line 0 hits -- self-test exit 1, 1 failure: 'DRIFT: declared and not recorded [the added hint], named as omitted [none]'. Two controls under the SAME mutation: the gate's own --self-test exit 0 (its pins tolerate a second hint at that root, so this is a direction only the map holds), and the map AS IT STOOD AT THE BASE COMMIT exit 0 and green (the card's premise, measured). Restored both files: map 0b8a0e98 and gate 3519847a equal to their HEAD blobs, git diff HEAD empty, git status --porcelain empty. GATE UNION at final head 9b57697 (git rev-parse --short HEAD), re-derived with 'node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --commands' from the merge-base change set (no typed path list): 21 commands, identical to the dispatch's list since the changed surface is the one file; RAN all 21 plus 'node scripts/check-driver-conformance.mjs' and its --self-test = 23 of 23 EXIT=0, exit codes captured by redirect-then-capture, never through a pipe. Verdict lines quoted from the gates themselves, e.g. check:watch-hint-literal '49 declaration(s) across 4 rostered name(s) ... every rostered name non-empty', check:nul-bytes 'scanned 8298 text file(s) ... no raw ASCII control bytes', check:pm-dispatch-gates 'dispatch-gates self-test: 1381 cases pass', driver-conformance --self-test green including 'It also declares the driver subtree dispatch-gates derives from, refusing the bare root and the case-set dir by name'. RECONCILIATION: derived 21, ran 23, nothing derived went unrun; no gate outside the derivation was found newly implicated (single file, scripts/pm, no .md, no skills, no agents). LINT: whole-repo 'pnpm lint' (eslint . --no-inline-config) through the shared lock with OS_VERIFY_LOCK_SLOT set before the first attempt -- no narrowing claimed -- VERDICT line: 'os-verify-lock: VERDICT command-exit 0 - held the lock 69s (1m09s) - waited 0s - SHARED-BOX SECONDS'. NOT MEASURED: no package typecheck or vitest suite applies -- the changed file is a standalone .mjs tooling script with no test file naming it anywhere in the tree (git grep over *.test.ts / *.test.mjs / *.spec.ts returned none); its --self-test is its suite and is in the union above.",

Nothing reds and the argument's conclusion is unchanged; dedup read done first (the dispatch's 09:52Z page-1 grep already covered driver-conformance; re-checked only the increment after that minute -- one new issue, #15310, a finding about a different script's docblock)"
