## Summary Extends the undeclared-H2 advisory (`spec/section-model.md`) to scan `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, not just `AGENTS.md` and `GOVERNANCE.md`. That gap is why `ptr727/PhotoCleaner`'s repo-specific sections went undetected and duplicated a later `OPERATIONS.md`. ## What this does and does not do Re-measured against current `develop` before starting: nothing has touched `spec/audit.py`, `spec/section-model.md`, or `spec/files.json` since the most recent comment on #523, so the gap it describes is current, not stale. - **Scope, widened**: `UNDECLARED_HEADING_SCANNED` now includes `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, which already carries a declared section list in `files.json`. - **Destination attribution, deliberately not attempted**: neither `OPERATIONS.md`'s six headings nor `ARCHITECTURE.md`'s are declared as data anywhere today, and PhotoCleaner's actual headings (`Development Workflow`, `Command Line Usage`) matched neither name, so a heading-name match would have missed the exact case that motivated the issue. The finding stays structural — it names the heading as undeclared and points at `section-model.md`'s destinations for a human to judge — consistent with the issue's own warning against a content-similarity heuristic. Declaring a heading-to-destination vocabulary (issue open question 2) and reaching `ARCHITECTURE.md` (open question 3) stay open. - **Fence-awareness fix, bundled**: the H2 scan wasn't using the existing `unfenced_text` helper, so a `## ` line inside a fenced code sample could misread as a real heading. Extracted into `undeclared_h2_headings()` and fixed while touching this code, since expanding scope to a file more likely to carry fenced examples made the gap more likely to bite. - **Tests**: no offline coverage existed for this advisory at all; added 6 table-driven `--selftest` cases (scope, case-insensitivity, H2-only, the fence fix, and the new copilot-instructions.md case). ## Verification - `python3 spec/audit.py --selftest` → `SELFTEST PASS` - `python3 spec/validate.py` → `Spec validation OK` - `python3 scripts/prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop spec/audit.py spec/section-model.md` → clean Closes #523.

The scope expansion is correctly implemented, remains advisory-only as intended, and is covered by targeted selftests including the fence-awareness fix.
Pull request overview
Promotes the develop branch changes that widen the undeclared-H2 advisory so the audit also scans .github/copilot-instructions.md, preventing repo-specific content in that file from remaining invisible to the section model guidance.
Changes:
- Extend the undeclared-heading advisory scope to include
.github/copilot-instructions.md. - Make the advisory fence-aware by extracting the logic into
undeclared_h2_headings()usingunfenced_text(). - Add table-driven
--selftestcoverage for the new advisory behavior (scope, normalization, and fence handling).
File summaries
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| spec/section-model.md | Documents that the undeclared-heading advisory now scans .github/copilot-instructions.md and clarifies its intentionally structural (non-destination-attributing) behavior. |
| spec/audit.py | Expands the advisory’s scanned set, adds a fence-aware helper for detecting undeclared H2s, and adds selftests to lock in behavior. |

## Summary Follow-up to #900, addressing findings raised on the #900 -> #901 promotion PR review (qodo-code-review and CodeRabbit, both advisory reviewers on this PR since CodeRabbit is only enabled against `main` as a base). - **Real bug, verified independently**: `unfenced_text()` toggled its fenced state on *any* line starting with `` ``` `` or `~~~`, regardless of marker family or length. A `~~~` line nested inside a `` ``` `` block closed the wrong fence, and a shorter `` ``` `` inside a longer `` ```` `` closed a fence it should not have been able to close. Confirmed both failure modes against the actual code before fixing, and fixed per CommonMark: a fence closes only on the same marker character, at least as long as the opener. `unfenced_text` is a pre-existing helper several other checks (README shields/links) already depend on, so this fixes it for all of them, not just the new undeclared-heading advisory. Added 5 regression cases; the full existing selftest suite (readme shields/links) still passes unchanged. - **Real duplication**: `TEMPLATE_REF_SCANNED` and `UNDECLARED_HEADING_SCANNED` were two identical tuples that could silently drift apart on a future edit to one and not the other. Made the second an alias of the first. - **Real prose issues**: two over-length sentences in `section-model.md`, one of them also past-tense change-framing ("has accumulated undetected before" -> present tense), plus three over-25-word sentences in new `audit.py` comments/docstrings. Split per `comment-and-doc-style`. Two findings from the same review round were judged not real and declined in the PR conversation on #901 with evidence, no code change: a PR-title Title-Case false positive (the cited rule actually allows lowercase "to"), and a "docstring too internal" finding contradicted by existing precedent in the same file (`strip_sections`' docstring already names `extract_section`). ## Verification - `python3 spec/audit.py --selftest` -> `SELFTEST PASS`, including the 5 new `unfenced_text` cases and the full pre-existing suite unchanged - `python3 spec/validate.py` -> `Spec validation OK` - `ruff check .` / `ruff format --check .` -> clean - `python3 scripts/prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop spec/audit.py spec/section-model.md` -> clean <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Clarified that undeclared-heading checks include `.github/copilot-instructions.md`. * Documented heading-scan behavior, including H2-only matching, normalization, and fenced-content handling. * **Bug Fixes** * Improved fenced-content detection to correctly recognize compatible closing fences. * Ensured undeclared-heading scans consistently use the configured template references. * **Tests** * Added coverage for fence rules and related heading-scan behavior. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

## Summary Follow-up to #902, addressing a finding raised on the #900 -> #901 promotion PR review (CodeRabbit). `unfenced_text()` (fixed in #902) now handles fence marker family, length, and indentation correctly, but `extract_section()` and `strip_sections()` still used the original naive toggle-on-any-marker logic. Verified independently before fixing: a `~~~` line nested inside a `` ``` `` block made both exit the fenced state early, so a following `## ` line could end the region short. This is not cosmetic for `extract_section()`: it is what the verbatim byte-for-byte section check hashes, so a nested example inside a fenced code sample could silently truncate what gets compared against the hub canonical. Extracted the corrected per-line fence logic from `unfenced_text()` into `_fence_step()`, a single pure function all three now call, so the fence-matching rule lives in exactly one place instead of three near-duplicates that can drift apart the way the first two already had. Added a regression case covering the nested-marker scenario for both functions, on top of the existing `extract_section` and `strip_sections` (via `template_ref_outside_verbatim`) coverage, which still passes unchanged. ## Verification - `python3 spec/audit.py --selftest` -> `SELFTEST PASS`, including the new nested-fence regression and the full pre-existing suite unchanged - `python3 spec/validate.py` -> `Spec validation OK` - `ruff check .` / `ruff format --check .` -> clean - `python3 scripts/prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop spec/audit.py` -> clean

## Summary Follow-up to #903, addressing a finding raised on the #900 -> #901 promotion PR review (CodeRabbit). Per CommonMark, a backtick-fenced opener's info string may not itself contain a backtick (the spec's own reasoning: otherwise inline code spans could be misread as a new fence). \`_fence_step()\` accepted an opener like `` ```md` `` regardless, so a heading right after it was hidden from the scan. Verified independently against the actual code before fixing. A tilde fence has no such restriction and is unaffected. Also split the two over-25-word docstring sentences flagged in the same review round. ## Verification - `python3 spec/audit.py --selftest` -> `SELFTEST PASS`, including 3 new regression cases and the full pre-existing suite unchanged - `python3 spec/validate.py` -> `Spec validation OK` - `ruff check .` / `ruff format --check .` -> clean - `python3 scripts/prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop spec/audit.py` -> clean ## A note on scope This is the fourth follow-up PR (#901 -> #902 -> #903 -> this one) chasing progressively deeper CommonMark fence-parsing edge cases that CodeRabbit's automated review keeps finding one round at a time against `_fence_step()`. Each one has been real and independently verified, but I want to flag the pattern rather than silently keep going: CommonMark has more edge cases than these four (unterminated fences at EOF, tab expansion in indentation, and others), and a sufficiently persistent automated reviewer may keep surfacing them. Worth a decision on where "correct enough" is for a fleet-internal audit tool versus a full CommonMark implementation.
