Promotes the declared repository description (#913, fixes #639) from develop to main.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Repository catalogs can define a canonical description for README, GitHub About, and Docker Hub summaries.
    • README taglines remain the fallback when no catalog description is provided.
    • Added a documented description for ProjectTemplate.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved auditing for inconsistent descriptions and Docker Hub lookup failures.
    • Prevented empty repository metadata from being processed as a tool entry.
  • Validation

    • Descriptions must be nonempty, single-line, link-free text of no more than 100 characters.
    • Added validation for duplicate repository names and invalid description formats.

## What

Implements TODO.md's "The Declared Repository Description" cluster, the
prerequisite #639 itself named as blocking it. `registry/repos.json`
gains an optional per-repo `description` field:

- **`registry/repos.schema.json`**: new optional `description` (string,
1-100 chars).
- **`spec/validate.py`**: shape-checks it the same way as
`lineEndings`/`workflowModel`.
- **`repo-config/configure.sh`**: `apply` writes the declared
description to the GitHub About panel; `check` asserts it when declared,
and notes a manual-verify fallback otherwise.
- **`spec/audit.py`**: the description-check block is extracted into a
new `description_findings()` (now unit-tested directly rather than only
through the full `audit_repo` integration path). Once a repo declares
the field, it becomes canonical and the README tagline, the About panel,
and the Docker Hub short description are all measured against it. A repo
with no declared field keeps the exact prior behavior (README is the
source, About/Docker Hub measured against the tagline).
- **`GOVERNANCE.md`** "Repository Details" and
**`spec/readme-structure.md`** are updated to describe the new
precedence.
- **ProjectTemplate adopts the field here as the pilot** (its README
tagline, live About description, and the new declared value all already
agree).
- The completed TODO.md cluster is removed per the file's own "delete
completed entries" convention.

## Why

This closes the README→About hop #639 reported as the one mirror nothing
writes for any repo that adopts the field: once declared, `configure.sh
apply` is the tool that sets the About panel, rather than a hand copy.
The field is optional so the fleet adopts it one repo at a time, exactly
as TODO.md's "Settled" notes describe.

## Testing

- `python3 spec/audit.py --selftest` — passes, including 8 new cases for
`description_findings()`.
- `python3 spec/validate.py` — passes against the updated registry.
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts/tests -p "test_*.py"` — 765
tests, all pass.
- `python3 scripts/prose_lint.py` (whole tree) — clean.
- `ruff format --check` / `ruff check` on the touched Python files —
clean.
- `bash -n repo-config/configure.sh` — clean; manually verified the new
conditional-echo substitution doesn't trip `set -Eeuo pipefail` in
either branch.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The registry now supports an optional canonical repository description. Validation enforces its format. Configuration applies it to GitHub settings. Audit logic compares it with README, GitHub About, and Docker Hub descriptions, with README fallback when absent. Linux tool loading handles empty metadata results.

Changes

Description governance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Description contract and validation
registry/repos.schema.json, spec/validate.py, scripts/tests/test_spec_validate.py, registry/repos.json
The registry supports an optional description. Validation rejects blank, surrounding whitespace, multiline, linked, or overlong values. Tests cover these cases and duplicate repository names. ProjectTemplate declares a description.
Description resolution
spec/resolve_description.py, scripts/tests/test_resolve_description.py
The resolver validates registry structure and repository names, returns optional descriptions, and reports invalid or malformed input. Tests cover successful, absent, duplicate, invalid, and non-exact matches.
Description configuration
repo-config/configure.sh, GOVERNANCE.md
The script resolves descriptions with a compatible Python interpreter, applies declared values to repository settings, and checks live values. Governance documents the canonical source and mirror rules.
Description audit and mirror checks
spec/audit.py, spec/readme-structure.md
description_findings() selects the registry description or README tagline, then checks README, GitHub About, and Docker Hub values. Self-tests cover precedence, missing README content, invalid declarations, mismatches, and lookup failures. The specification documents the propagation flow.

Tool metadata loading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Empty metadata handling
host-setup/linux/install-tools.sh
load_repo_tools returns successfully when the Linux metadata query returns no rows.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f726c

The PR adds repository-description resolution and related documentation rules, but the current head can silently accept malformed registry data and may expose misleading or traceback-style CLI errors; some added specification text also violates repository formatting requirements. These bounded correctness and usability issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Keep README tagline as the only source of truth
  • ➕ No new registry field to maintain
  • ➕ Everything stays author-facing in the README
  • ➖ Requires robust tagline parsing and README availability
  • ➖ Harder to make repo-config an authoritative writer without parsing
2. Make GitHub About description canonical (sync down to README/others)
  • ➕ Single canonical value visible in the UI
  • ➕ No additional schema/registry surface
  • ➖ Not version-controlled or code-reviewed like registry changes
  • ➖ Harder to audit intent vs current state, especially at scale

Recommendation: The PR’s approach (optional, declared registry/repos.json description with a README fallback) is the best fit for incremental adoption: it makes the canonical value version-controlled and tool-writable while preserving prior behavior for repos that haven’t adopted the field yet.

Pull request overview

Promotes the “declared repository description” feature from develop to main, making registry/repos.json the canonical source (once declared) for a repo’s short description and wiring it through validation, audit, and configuration tooling.

Changes:

  • Add optional description to registry/repos.json with schema + validation and unit tests.
  • Update the audit to enforce description precedence (declared field → README tagline fallback) and verify GitHub About/Docker Hub mirrors.
  • Update governance/spec docs and retire the completed TODO cluster.

2. Spaced hyphen in spec prose ✗ Dismissed 📜 Skill insight ✧ Quality
Description
The updated Markdown prose uses  -  as a dash to join a sentence, which is disallowed by the
spaced-hyphen rule.
Code

spec/readme-structure.md[9]

+1. **Title (`# <Name>`)** - the H1 **is the repository name** (a hyphenated name may render its hyphens as spaces: `Financial-Modeling` -> `Financial Modeling`), then the **tagline** as the first line of the next paragraph. The tagline is a **single sentence, link-free plain text, at most 100 characters**, and it is one canonical short description shared with the GitHub About description (GOVERNANCE.md "Repository Details"), the `HISTORY.md` opening, and, for a repo that publishes a Docker image, the Docker Hub short description. Those surfaces render no Markdown, and Docker Hub caps the short description near 100 characters, the tightest surface, which sets the limit. Once a repo declares `registry/repos.json`'s optional `description` field, that field is the canonical value and the tagline follows it. A repo that has not adopted the field keeps the tagline itself as the source. **Further paragraphs below the tagline are free prose**, carrying whatever a reader needs to understand the project before the fold, under no length or link rule and read by no mirror. The rule is scoped to the one line the mirrors take precisely so that a README is not forbidden from saying anything more about itself above the fold. The audit checks the H1 name, the tagline's length and link-free form, and the mirrors.

Evidence
The audit loads JSON directly without validating field types, then immediately calls .strip() on
the optional description value; this will raise if the registry contains a non-string
description.

spec/audit.py[75-77]
spec/audit.py[1288-1307]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`description_findings()` assumes `entry.get("description")` is always a string and calls `.strip()` unconditionally. If the registry contains an invalid type for `description` (e.g., a number/object due to manual edit or partially-applied change), `spec/audit.py` will crash with an `AttributeError` instead of surfacing a clear audit finding.

### Issue Context
`spec/audit.py` reads the registry via plain `json.loads()` and does not run `spec/validate.py` internally, so it should be robust against malformed optional fields.

### Fix Focus Areas
- spec/audit.py[1288-1310]

### Suggested change
- Replace `declared = (entry.get("description") or "").strip() or None` with a type-safe extraction:
 - If the key is absent/None: `declared = None`.
 - If present but not a string: append a finding (preferably `DEFECT` or `ERROR` with a clear message like `registry: description must be a string`) and treat it as `None` for comparison.
 - If a string: `declared = raw.strip() or None`.
- Keep the rest of the logic the same so declared descriptions still override README taglines when valid.

5. Wrapped sentence in description_errors docstring ✗ Dismissed 📜 Skill insight ✧ Quality

The new description_findings()/description_errors() docstring wraps mid-sentence across multiple
lines, violating the comment structure rule that requires exactly one sentence per line without
wrapping.
Code

spec/validate.py[R64-67]

repo-config/configure.sh trims the declared description using gsub("^\\s+|\\s+$"; "") before
checking for \n/\r, but \s includes newlines, so leading/trailing newlines can be removed and
escape the intended embedded-newline guard. This contradicts the comment that “an embedded newline …
survives” and can silently normalize invalid registry data instead of failing fast.
Code

repo-config/configure.sh[R75-78]

+    if ! description="$(jq -r --arg n "$name" \
+        '(.repos[] | select(.name==$n) | .description) // "" | gsub("^\\s+|\\s+$"; "")' "$registry")"; then
+        echo "Failed to read description from $registry (invalid JSON?)." >&2
+        exit 1

Potential validation bypass is semantic and risky; no closely matching accepted or rejected
precedent was found.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The script uses jq gsub() with \s to trim, and then checks for embedded newlines; Oniguruma
defines \s as including \n and \r, so leading/trailing newlines may be removed before the
check.

repo-config/configure.sh[71-87]
🌐 Oniguruma regex documentation (used by jq) defines \s (whitespace) as including \n (newline) and \r (carriage return), so trimming with \s can remove newlines at string boundaries.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
The script intends to reject descriptions containing newline characters before sending them to `gh api`, but it performs trimming with a regex that treats `\n`/`\r` as whitespace and can strip them off the ends before the newline check runs.

### Issue Context
In Oniguruma regex (used by jq), `\s` includes `\n` and `\r`, so `gsub("^\\s+|\\s+$"; "")` can remove newline characters at the start/end of the string.

### Fix Focus Areas
- repo-config/configure.sh[73-87]

### Suggested change
Either:
1) Check for `\n`/`\r` in the raw value *before* trimming, then trim; or
2) Trim only spaces/tabs (not newlines), e.g. `gsub("^[\\t ]+|[\\t ]+$"; "")`, then keep the existing newline/carriage-return guard.

This keeps the behavior aligned with the comment and ensures newline-containing declared descriptions consistently fail fast.

## Summary

`host-setup/linux/install-tools.sh --repo PATH` died on a
`host-tools.json` that declares
tools but zero `install.linux` entries, instead of treating "nothing to
add" as a no-op.

## Root cause

In `load_repo_tools()`, when no `.tools[]` entry has `.install.linux`,
the `jq` filter
produces no output, so `rows` is the empty string. `<<< "$rows"` still
feeds the
`while read` loop one line (a here-string always appends a trailing
newline, even for
an empty string), so the loop ran once with `name`/`manager`/`package`
all empty and
immediately died on the "non-empty tool name" check — even though the
declaration was
otherwise valid and simply had nothing to add.

## Fix

Guard the loop on an empty `$rows` before entering it, per the issue's
suggested fix.

## Testing

- Repro from the issue now reports normally instead of dying.
- Verified the normal path (repo `host-tools.json` with a real
`install.linux` entry)
  still works.
- `python3 -m unittest scripts.tests.test_host_gate` — 83 tests pass.
- `scripts/repo_gate.py` and `scripts/prose_lint.py` — clean.

🟢 Approval recommended

Only a minor wording/clarity nit was found in a new manual-verify note; the functional changes appear consistent and well-covered by validation/selftests.

Review details

Suppressed comments (1)

repo-config/configure.sh:314

  • The manual-verify note when $description is empty assumes the registry contains an entry for $name, but the script explicitly supports repos absent from registry/repos.json (workflowModel lookup falls back). As written, this note can mislead users into thinking the repo is present but just missing a description field.
        note "description: no registry/repos.json description declared for $name - verify manually (falls back to the README tagline, see GOVERNANCE.md 'Repository Details')"

  • Review effort level: Lite

Fixes real bugs and trims comments flagged in #914's review round
(Copilot/CodeRabbit/qodo), since develop is PR-gated and the promotion
PR's head can't take a direct push.

## Real fixes

- `configure.sh`: the leading/trailing trim used `gsub("^\\s+|\\s+$";
"")`, and Oniguruma's `\s` matches `\n`/`\r`, so an embedded newline
sitting at either edge was silently stripped instead of tripping the
newline guard right after it. Trims only space/tab now.
- `configure.sh`: the missing-registry manual-verify note told a user to
"pass a plain repo argument", but the registry path is resolved from
`script_dir` regardless of that argument. Reworded.
- `spec/validate.py`: tests `"description" in repo` rather than `is not
None`, so an explicit `"description": null` is rejected as invalid
instead of reading as absent.
- `spec/audit.py`: `description_findings()` no longer crashes on a
non-string declared description - reports a `DEFECT` and treats it as
undeclared.
- Regression tests added for all four.

## Style fixes

Trimmed three `configure.sh` comment blocks that restated GOVERNANCE.md
prose across 2-3 lines, per `comment-and-doc-style/SKILL.md` ("one line
is the default", "no rule citations - governed lives in the fleet's own
instruction set") - a doc I hadn't checked in PR #913's earlier review
rounds.

## Declined (reasoning posted to #914)

- Registry description not validated as "one sentence" - the
README-derived tagline never was either, pre-existing gap.
- Sentence-length on `spec/readme-structure.md` - the same opt-in rule
is violated in 29+ pre-existing spots in that file.
- PR title's lowercase "to" - it's an allowed bind word per the actual
list, a known qodo false positive.
- Spaced hyphen in `spec/readme-structure.md` - the `- **Label** -
explanation` shape is an explicit documented carve-out.
- Docstring "wraps mid-sentence" - matches two other unchanged
functions' docstrings in the same file, the established convention.

Re: the suppressed finding on `repo-config/configure.sh:314` (no thread to resolve):

The manual-verify note when `$description` is empty assumes the registry contains an entry for `$name`, but the script explicitly supports repos absent from `registry/repos.json`... this note can mislead users into thinking the repo is present but just missing a `description` field.

Already fixed (merged via #915): the note now reads "no matching registry entry or no declared description key for $name", covering both cases.

Fixes real gaps from PR #914's fresh review round (against the full
accumulated diff, after #915 merged).

- `configure.sh` never checked the declared description for Markdown
links or the 100-char cap - a value `spec/audit.py` would flag as a
DEFECT could still reach GitHub's About panel. Rather than a fourth
partial hand-rolled copy of the rules, `configure.sh` now shells out to
a new `spec/resolve_description.py`, which calls `spec/validate.py`'s
`description_errors()` directly - the same function `spec/audit.py`
already delegates to. This also removes the sentinel-preservation trick
from three commits ago, since a value that passes the check can never
contain a newline.
- `spec/audit.py`'s DEFECT message for an invalid declared description
named the literal string "registry" instead of the actual repo, making
it useless in a fleet-wide run. Now passes the repo slug.
- `spec/validate.py` now rejects a padded registry `name` (both
`configure.sh` and `audit.py` use it as an exact-match lookup key).

Declined two findings with reasoning posted to #914 (a pervasive
pre-existing sentence-length violation, and a type-annotation request
against a repo explicitly configured for the lint-only Scripts profile).

Manually verified against 11 description shapes end to end via
`spec/resolve_description.py` directly. 777 automated tests, prose lint,
ruff, pyright, and mypy all pass.

Fixes a real gap from PR #914's fresh review round after #918 merged,
plus declines two twins of findings already resolved on #918.

- `spec/resolve_description.py`: extended the padded-name near-miss
check (from #918) to also catch a case-only mismatch (e.g., resolving
`Fixture` against a registry entry named `fixture`) - GitHub treats repo
names case-insensitively, so this is a data-entry typo, not a different
repo. Same mechanism, now normalizing with `.strip().casefold()` on both
sides. New test case.

Declined (reasoning posted to #914):
- "Preserve interpreter probe failures" - identical to a finding already
declined on #918, citing this file's own `gh_ok()` precedent for
discarding a capability probe's output.
- "Reject malformed repository entries" (a `null` in `repos`) - that's
`spec/validate.py`'s whole-registry structural check; an unrelated
malformed entry degrading to "nothing declared" for a different, valid
repo's lookup is a safe outcome with a much wider blast radius than the
specific near-miss cases already fixed.

786 automated tests, prose lint, ruff, pyright, and mypy all pass.

🔵 Needs a closer look

New registry name validation lacks focused unit tests for the new failure modes (duplicate/padded names), increasing regression risk.

Previously missed (1) — in code that hasn't changed since the last review.

spec/validate.py:494

  • New registry-name validation (trim + duplicate detection) is introduced here, but there are no unit tests asserting the new failure modes (padded name, duplicate name) so regressions could slip through silently.

Add targeted tests that exercise these code paths (e.g., by factoring the per-repo registry checks into a helper that can be called with a crafted repos dict, or by mocking load() in validate.main() and asserting the resulting error list contains the expected messages).

Remove the inaccurate validator suffix

If the registry contains a valid fixture entry and the caller requests Fixture, the new near-match guard raises ResolveError. The suffix then says spec/validate.py rejects the entry, but that validator does not compare the lookup argument with repo["name"]. Print the resolver error directly and add a CLI regression test.

Outside diff comments:
In `@spec/resolve_description.py`:
- Around line 80-83: Update the resolver error handling in the CLI flow to print
the caught ResolveError directly, without appending the inaccurate
spec/validate.py rejection suffix. Add a CLI regression test covering a valid
fixture registry entry requested with the Fixture near-match, asserting the
resolver error is reported directly.
- Around line 29-38: Split the resolve_description docstring contract into
multiple sentences of no more than 25 words each, preserving all stated
validation and error-handling behavior and the existing meaning of ResolveError.
- Around line 1-12: Remove the module-level summary docstring from
spec/resolve_description.py. Also remove the class summary docstring at
scripts/tests/test_resolve_description.py lines 14-15; no other changes are
needed at either site.
- Around line 75-78: Update the registry-reading logic in the CLI entry point to
catch UnicodeDecodeError from Path.read_text(encoding="utf-8") and route it
through the existing contextual error handling, returning the same failure
status without exposing a traceback.
