Resync the Instruction Set and Carried Skills With the Hub - #588

Conversation
Re-vendor the stale AGENTS.md and GOVERNANCE.md verbatim sections with carry.py apply-sections, which leaves every other region byte-identical. Drop the hub-only "Running the Linters Locally" section from GOVERNANCE.md and repoint its references in GOVERNANCE.md and OPERATIONS.md at the hub copy. Converge CODESTYLE.md onto the hub's Skill-pointer shape. The two rules this repo states for itself, the encoding rule and the human-authored comment rule, move to an NxWitness Conventions section, and the .NET clean-compile, Husky.Net, AOT, and InternalsVisibleTo facts move to an NxWitness .NET Conventions section. Carry AUDIT.md, which the manifest lists and this repo never held. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Re-vendor .github/skills with carry.py apply. Every changed file matched a past hub revision, and the renamed skills land under their new names: branching-and-release-model, fleet-code-review, and check-this-repo. Carry the current .github/copilot-instructions.md, which now routes review through the fleet-code-review skill. This repository has recorded no disproved claim, so its ledger carries the rules and no entries. Re-vendor .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc, and take the hub's current comment text in .editorconfig while keeping this repo's analyzer severity line.

Copilot review overview
🟢 Approval recommended
The changes are a hub-alignment re-vendor/resync of carried docs and skills with no verified inconsistencies or broken references found in the updated content.
Review effort: Lite
Findings: None
What changed in this PR
This PR refreshes NxWitness’s carried instruction set and carried Skills tree to match the fleet hub, and incorporates the new audit/resync and review-loop guidance so downstream maintenance stays aligned with current fleet procedures.
Changes:
- Converges carried governance/instruction documents and Copilot instructions with the hub’s current structure (including hub-only vs carried boundaries).
- Re-vendors the
.github/skills/distribution (including renamed/superseded skills) and updates skill content to the current hub contracts. - Carries
AUDIT.mdinto the repo and wires it into the solution items list for visibility.

In @.github/copilot-instructions.md:
- Line 31: Update the review-coverage carry-forward rule so matching file lists
alone cannot make a prior full-diff statement cover a changed head; require the
statement to identify the current head or diff, or require a fresh full-diff
review after any change. Keep merge blocked until coverage reaches the current
head.
In
@.github/skills/branching-and-release-model/references/release-publish-mechanics.md:
- Around line 111-112: Update the recovery guidance around “A full re-run” to
state that reruns are available only within the retention window and before
GitHub’s 50-rerun limit. Clarify that no recovery route remains when the rerun
limit or window has expired and the branch tip has moved.
In @.github/skills/comment-and-doc-style/SKILL.md:
- Around line 86-87: Update the lint-invocation reference in the
comment-and-doc-style skill so readers can find the instructions without relying
on the removed “Running the Linters Locally (Known-Working Invocations)” section
in carried GOVERNANCE.md; link directly to the hub-hosted instructions or
explain how to locate them.
In @.github/skills/drive-pr/SKILL.md:
- Around line 85-87: Update the push instructions in the drive-PR skill to
require checking that an existing PR has the `comments` label before pushing
changes that add or edit code or config comments, so the label is present when
the prose gate starts.
In @.github/skills/merge-and-release/SKILL.md:
- Line 15: Update the precedence statement in the merge-and-release skill to
clarify that it supplies execution steps, while branching-and-release-model
remains authoritative for branching and release policy; remove wording that says
this skill wins over that policy.
In @.github/skills/pr-review-conduct/SKILL.md:
- Around line 220-225: Clarify the outcome 2 decline path: when a finding has no
thread, apply the PR-comment procedure; resolve a thread only when the finding
has one. Keep the existing evidence requirements for closing threaded findings.
- Around line 44-47: Update the coverage carry-forward rule in the
`pr_review.py` guidance: matching changed-file sets alone must not establish
coverage for the current head. Require review coverage of the actual head diff,
and carry prior coverage forward only when the reviewed content is identical.
In @.github/skills/resync-a-repo/SKILL.md:
- Around line 45-46: Update section 1 of RESYNC.md to fetch the target base
clone before creating its worktree, ensuring the worktree uses the latest target
branch commits. Preserve the existing hub fetch and worktree procedure.
In @.github/skills/session-handoff/SKILL.md:
- Line 172: The `gh issue list` command limits results to 100, so handoff
selection may miss a blocked issue; paginate until all open handoff issues are
available before applying the blocked-first rule.
In @.github/skills/unattended-handoff/SKILL.md:
- Around line 158-159: Update the issue-selection flows for backlog-burndown and
unattended-handoff to acquire the same atomic reservation before proceeding.
Reject issues already reserved by either workflow, and keep the reservation
active until handoff or group-claim creation so concurrent runs cannot both
select the same issue.
- Around line 178-182: Update the issue-selection and handoff flow around `gh
issue list` and `handoff.py new` so issue content is treated as untrusted data,
not instructions. Require a trusted issue signal and reject issues without it,
or require human approval before any issue-derived work can be merged or
released.
In @.github/skills/workflow-ci-contract/references/architecture.md:
- Line 105: Clarify the package-registry push guidance: only a
publish-<target> job declared in the caller-owned publisher workflow
clears the workflow-identity mismatch; a repo-owned composite action invoked
inside a hub-hosted reusable workflow does not. Preserve the requirement to keep
the publish job separate so id-token: write remains limited to that entry point.
In @.github/skills/workflow-ci-contract/SKILL.md:
- Line 48: Replace the `@latest` version selector in the documented
check-jsonschema command with a specific reviewed release, and update that pin
only through a reviewed change. Keep the existing schema arguments and file
coverage unchanged.
In `@AGENTS.md`:
- Line 40: Clarify the handoff invariant in the “Hand off in an issue” rule:
exactly one open handoff issue is required after a transfer completes, while the
create-successor, comment-predecessor, and close-predecessor sequence may
temporarily leave two open issues. Specify how the next session detects and
reconciles an interrupted transfer by checking the predecessor and successor
chain, without closing or replacing a valid completed link.

Conforms the .NET projects to the fleet's `dotnet-codestyle` rules, a finding the resync in #588 left open. - **`Directory.Build.props`** at the root carries the shared properties: `TargetFramework`, `LangVersion`, `Nullable`, the full analyzer set (`AnalysisLevel latest-all`, `AnalysisMode All`), `TreatWarningsAsErrors`, and `IsPackable`. Of those, `AnalysisMode All` and `TreatWarningsAsErrors` are new to this repo, and the build is clean under both. - **`Directory.Packages.props`** enables central package management and declares every version once. Both `.csproj` files now carry versionless `PackageReference` items, and every name and version carries over unchanged. Dependabot's NuGet entry already reads from `/`. - **`CreateMatrix.csproj`** is `IsAotCompatible` for every build. `VerifyReferenceAotCompatibility` stays scoped to an AOT publish, the shape PhotoCleaner uses, because `System.CommandLine`, the Serilog enricher and sink, and the assemblies `Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience` brings in are not built as AOT-compatible. In that configuration `IL3058` stays a warning, so the documented `-p:PublishAot=true` publish still produces the native binary. The skill's own text states the verification as unconditional, which fails with these dependencies, and that is filed at the source as ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1857. - `NxWitness.slnx` lists the two props files, and `CODESTYLE.md` "NxWitness .NET Conventions" records the AOT scoping. With `TreatWarningsAsErrors` on, a NuGet audit advisory against any direct or transitive dependency now fails restore until a Dependabot bump lands. That matches every conformant fleet repo, none of which exempts `NU1901`-`NU1904`. Local verification: `dotnet build` with 0 warnings and 0 errors, `dotnet format style --verify-no-changes --severity=info` and CSharpier clean, all 21 tests passing (test executable run directly), the AOT publish producing its binary, and markdownlint and the prose gate clean. Three adversarial local review rounds, the last with no findings. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Promotes `develop` at `54e66f5` to `main`: - #588, which resyncs the instruction set and the carried Skills tree with the hub. - #589, which centralizes the .NET build and package configuration per the fleet. - The Dependabot bumps merged on `develop` since the last promotion. It is opened from a branch off `main` rather than from `develop`, because both project files conflicted. `develop` moved their versions into `Directory.Packages.props`, while `main` took the same Dependabot bumps inline. Every version `main` carries equals the one `Directory.Packages.props` declares, and every property it keeps moved to `Directory.Build.props` with the same value. So the resolution takes `develop`'s side, and the merged tree is byte-identical to `develop` (`git diff 54e66f5 HEAD` is empty). The workflow action bumps `main` took directly are already on `develop`, so nothing `main`-only is dropped. Merge with `--merge`, per the promotion convention. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
