All six hooks scoped their requests one way: `git remote get-url origin`,
resolved server-side through the repo bindings. That key does not exist
outside a git repo, so a session in a plain directory was unscoped in every
hook at once — no project context, no prior-art scoping, no project rules —
and silently, because a missing remote is indistinguishable from a remote
nobody bound.

A `.scribe` file is the second key, read by the shared scribe_scope_query so a
directory scopes the same way everywhere:

    {"instance": "https://scribe.example.com", "project_id": 2, "project": "…"}

`instance` is why the file is not just a number: an id is a different project
on every Scribe, so a marker that travels — a copied directory, a shared
machine, a repo someone else clones — would otherwise scope the session to the
wrong project without a word. Compared host-only, and a mismatch drops the id:
no project beats the wrong project. A bare integer is accepted too, since it
is what a person writes by hand. The marker beats a git remote — someone put
the file there on purpose — which is also how a directory overrides its
binding.

Two things it found on the way:

  * An explicit project_id that did not resolve rendered NO message at all —
    the branch hung off `if project_id` as an `elif`, so a caller holding a
    pointer it believed in got a context that silently omitted the project it
    had asked for. Now reported.
  * The refusal reason was a global set inside a function every caller reads
    through `$( )`. The assignment died with the subshell, leaving the caller
    to read an unset variable under `set -u` — which aborts the hook and costs
    the whole session's SessionStart context, to fetch a warning about a file.
    It comes back through stdout with the id instead, and a test pins it.

# --- Nothing resolved: say WHICH nothing, and what would fix it (#4085) ---
#
# The server can say "no project is bound to this working directory", and
# until now that was the whole answer. It is the same sentence for a directory
# that is not a repo, a repo whose remote nobody bound, and a marker file
# naming a project this account cannot read — three different problems with
# three different fixes, and no way to tell them apart from inside the session.
#
# The marker is the adapter's convention, so the adapter explains it: the
# server reports whether a project resolved, and this hook — which knows what
# it sent and why — turns that into the sentence the operator can act on. The
# repo case is left to the server's existing "bind this repo" hint.
