Docs under frontend-modern/public/docs are byte-for-byte copies of repo
docs, but the only guard was a CI vitest the git hooks never run. On
2026-09-01 two commits (f4886c2dfb, f313882a7b) each edited a mirrored
doc without its copy, passed the hooks, and broke main's Frontend job.
Add scripts/check_docs_mirror.py with an index-blob --staged mode wired
into the pre-commit hook: a commit that stages either side of an
out-of-sync pair (or an orphan shipped copy) fails with the exact sync
command, while pre-existing drift from other commits only warns. The
worktree mode runs as a named step in the public-docs workflow, with
unit tests in scripts/tests picked up by the existing runner. The
docsLinks vitest stays as the CI backstop.
Build-time generation of public/docs was considered and rejected: the
shipped set is a curated subset (61 of 421 docs), so generation still
needs a hand-maintained manifest while adding build, dev-server, and
test-order coupling.
Harden release workflow input transport and make native lifecycle proof honor each platform security boundary. Refresh stale telemetry and delivery qualifications.
Contract-Neutral: Formatting-only catalog updates and browser-verified alert copy; release compiler and native lifecycle changes update their owning contracts.
Verify the signed release checksum manifest against Pulse's pinned SSH key before either MCP installer accepts a downloaded binary. Remove the unsigned bypass and require one exact digest entry.
Include bare Unix MCP executables in release checksum/signature assembly, cover unavailable, invalid, ambiguous, mismatched, and successful evidence paths with executable regression tests, and enforce MCP installer pins against the configured release key.
Fail schema-version drift in the fast E2E preflight before starting the browser matrix, and align the stable telemetry preview proof with schema 15.
