refactor(retrieval): the rule builders compose one moment - _rule_moment runs the arm and its via-lesson step for all three (milestone 456 step 6, #4908)
build_prompt_rule_hint, build_tool_rule_hint and build_write_path_hint
each ran the rule arm and then the via-lesson step by hand, the first two
passing the query between them through a _via_query key on the payload.
They now call one composer, _rule_moment, and the split helpers
(_prompt_rule_hint, _tool_rule_hint, _add_rules_via_lessons) and the side
channel are deleted. Output shapes are unchanged: the prompt builder
returns no checkpoint key, the tool builder always does, and
shown_rule_ids stays the direct band.

A structural test pins that only _rule_moment runs a rule arm or the
via-lesson step, and that the three builders are its only callers.

plugin_context.py: 2,418 -> 2,361 lines this step; 3,558 when the
milestone began.

"""Session-context rendering for the Scribe plugin's SessionStart hook.
The plugin's hook curls `GET /api/plugin/context` at session start and injects
the returned text as `additionalContext`, giving Scribe the same push channel
that superpowers and file-memory have. This module renders that text.
Design note — altitude: we inject rule *titles* grouped by topic (a compact
index), NOT every rule's full statement. The 48 always-on statements run well
past the 10k-char `additionalContext` cap, and the push channel's job is to make
Claude *aware* the rules exist and *reach* for them — not to dump them. Full
text stays one `get_rule(id)` / `search(content_type="rule")` call away. Titles are
mostly self-describing ("`dev` is home", "No GitHub — Fabled-Git only"), so the
index alone already steers behavior.

#
# #2223 is that evidence. Measured against the live instance, the semantic arm's

# The standing-rule arm (milestone 307) gets its own bar — the split #2223 made

# that number was measured against code-vs-note-PROSE. It was never re-derived
# for code-vs-RULE-TEXT.
#
# THE STRUCTURAL ARGUMENT, which is the only kind admissible here (rule 115).
# Two facts hold on any install, including one with six rules and no telemetry:
#
# 1. The eligible corpus is SMALL — every rule an install owns, still only
# a few dozen documents against thousands of notes. A top-k over a small
# pool always returns something, so "the best match cleared the bar"
# drifts from "a good match exists" toward "N things were ranked". A bar
# calibrated for best-of-thousands is cleared by best-of-forty as
# arithmetic rather than relevance.
# This argument WEAKENED when the arms stopped filtering to one tier
# (see the note on that below): a larger pool makes clearing the bar
# mean more, not less. The threshold was deliberately left where it was
# anyway — moving two variables at once would make the resulting
# distribution unreadable, and this one errs toward silence on purpose.
# 2. Rules are short imperative technical English — a far more HOMOGENEOUS
# corpus than note prose. #2223 measured the floor for code against prose
# at 0.55-0.63 and set 0.68 above it. A more homogeneous corpus has a
# HIGHER floor, so 0.68 is not merely inherited, it is below where this
# corpus's noise sits.
#
# WHY 0.72 AND NOT A NUMBER OFF A HISTOGRAM. The exact offset between prose's
# floor and rule-text's is not derivable in general — it depends on how an
# install writes its rules — so the default errs deliberately toward SILENCE
# rather than toward recall, on an asymmetry that is itself structural: this
# hint fires on EVERY write. A missed rule is recoverable, because the rule is
# still in Scribe and the agent can search it. A hint that cries wolf is not:
# it teaches the reader to skip the whole block, and the surface is lost along
# with the true positives it would have carried. The arm's own comment already
# says "noise on a hint that fires on every write is how a hint gets ignored".
#
# TUNE IT FROM YOUR OWN INSTANCE, which is now possible: `retrieval_telemetry`
# reports `rule_usage.pull_through` (milestone 333 step 3). Raise this if rules
# arrive unread; lower it if rules you needed never arrived. What would RETIRE
# it: a cross-encoder rerank (#1038), which would make a similarity bar the
# wrong control entirely.
# SCOPED TO THE WRITE-PATH ARM SINCE #3853. The command arm has its own bar
# below, and the measurement that separated them is recorded there. Everything
# above still holds for THIS arm: a code payload is long and rich, which is the
# case 0.72 was calibrated on, and the telemetry says it is working — the
# write-path rule arm speaks on 37% of its calls and its refused mass sits at
# p50 0.6989, comfortably under the bar rather than piled against it.

RULEHINT_DEFAULT_THRESHOLD = SURFACES["write_path_rule"].floor_default
# THE COMMAND ARM'S OWN BAR, AND WHY IT IS NOT THE WRITE PATH'S (#3853).
#
# One bar served both act arms until this. They are not the same problem: a
# write-path query is a code payload, long and rich, while a pre-tool query is
# a shell command — often under a dozen words. Less text, less signal, lower
# scores for the same relevance. At a shared 0.72 the two arms measured like
# different subsystems:
#
# write_path_rule 2,325 calls, speaks on 37%, near-miss p50 0.6989
# pre_tool_rule 11,768 calls, speaks on 2%, near-miss p50 0.6794
#
# The second is not a quiet surface, it is a mute one: 11,530 of 11,768 calls
# said nothing, with near-miss p90 at 0.7097 — refused mass piled one
# hundredth under the line, which is the shape a bar set too high leaves. The
# note arms are the control and look nothing like it (auto_inject refuses at
# p90 0.5463, write_path at 0.6738, both far below their bars).
#
# WHAT 0.68 IS MEASURED AGAINST. Eight replayed queries, consequential acts
# against innocuous ones, scored on the post-#3855 corpus:
#
# 0.7571 git push origin dev consequential
# 0.7245 cd ...; git fetch; git add -A consequential
# 0.7193 git pull --rebase origin dev consequential
# 0.6850 docker compose up -d consequential
# ---------------------------------------- 0.68
# 0.6735 wc -l src/*.py && date innocuous
# 0.6544 grep -rn useState src/ innocuous
# 0.6099 sed -n '120,160p' package.json innocuous
# 0.6056 ls -la && cat README.md innocuous
#
# At 0.72 three of the four consequential acts retrieved NOTHING, including
# `git pull --rebase origin dev`, where rules 153, 1 and 2 all ranked
# correctly and all sat between 0.7126 and 0.7193.
#
# THE SEPARATION IS 0.0115 WIDE, and that is a caveat, not a result. Eight
# probes set a direction; they do not settle a number. `near_miss_samples` on
# a few days of post-#3855 traffic is what settles it, and this is the bar to
# re-read first.
#
# This also CORRECTS an assumption stated above. That comment argued 0.68 was
# "below where this corpus's noise sits", inferring a higher floor from the
# corpus being homogeneous. Measured, the command arm's noise ceiling is
# 0.6735 — so 0.68 clears it, barely, rather than sitting under it. The
# inference was reasonable and the measurement disagrees.
#
# WHY LOWERING IS SAFER NOW THAN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN. Until #3851 this arm had
# a single slot, so its one line had to be right and a high bar was the only
# control. The band now does noise control downstream: a marginal hit that
# clears the bar still has to score within `_RULEHINT_BAND` of the top to be
# rendered. The bar's job shrank, so the bar can.
#
# The noise floor above is set by CROSS-PROJECT BLEED rather than bad ranking
# — 0.6735 is another project's shell-command rule matching a shell command in
# this one, which is a correct match to a rule that should never have been
# eligible. Retrieval is ownership-scoped, not project-scoped. Scoping it
# would drop that ceiling and widen the 0.0115, which is the larger fix and
# the reason to settle project scoping before tuning this number twice.

# A SET OF RULES PER ACT, NOT THE SINGLE BEST ONE (#3851).
#
# This was 1, and the reasoning for that is kept below rather than deleted
# because it was correct for the world it was written in and the half of it
# that still holds is what shapes the replacement.
#
# THE OLD ARGUMENT. "With a corpus this small, top-k does as much damage as
# the threshold: k=2 over a few dozen candidates means the second line is
# almost always the second-best noise, arriving with the same confident
# framing as the first." True — and note the premise. Retrieval was then a
# SUPPLEMENT to a 33-rule resident set, so the arm's job was to add one
# salient rule beside everything the session already held. One was the right
# number for an accent.
#
# WHAT CHANGED. Milestone 394 removes residency, and then this arm is not the
# accent, it is the whole delivery. Moments genuinely need several rules at
# once: `git push origin dev` is governed by 1 (`dev` is home), 2 (never
# `main` unasked), 9 (poll CI) and 140 (let each action land) simultaneously,
# and each alone permits the mistake the others catch. One slot cannot serve
# that, and "the single best" is not a coherent answer when four rules bind.
#
# WHY A CAP PLUS A BAND, RATHER THAN A BIGGER CAP. The old argument's real
# content is that a fixed k invents lines — it fills slots whether or not
# anything deserves them. A band does not: it keeps what is close to the top
# and nothing else, so a moment with one clearly-relevant rule still shows
# one, and a moment with four shows four. The corpus decides, not a constant.
# The cap survives as a ceiling on the worst case, not as the usual answer.
# NOW A DEFAULT RATHER THAN A CAP (#4102): both rule act-arms read their own
# budget from the registry, so this is the value an install starts at and not
# the value it is stuck with. The reasoning below is why 5 is where it starts.
RULEHINT_LIMIT = SURFACES["write_path_rule"].budget_default
# ── The pre-act checkpoint (#4214, milestone 419) ───────────────────────
#
# WHAT A CHECKPOINT IS, AND WHY IT IS NOT A LOUDER HINT. Every arm above
# appends text to an act the agent has already composed. Claude Code delivers
# `additionalContext` alongside the tool result, so by the time the line is
# read the call is written and the rule reads as commentary on a decision
# already made. That is milestone 419's central finding, measured over a
# session where three misses were caught by the operator and none by this
# system.
#
# A checkpoint is the same retrieval, spent differently: the hook returns a
# `deny` and the act does not run, so the rule's own text is read BEFORE the
# call exists. The remedy is `get_rule(id)` and nothing else — which is why
# the condition below is "the session has not opened it" rather than "the
# session has not recorded an outcome for it". An outcome can be satisfied
# with one cheap call that asserts compliance without producing any, and a
# checkpoint that can be dismissed that way manufactures exactly the
# compliance data step 2 exists to measure. Reading a rule cannot be faked in
# that direction: after `get_rule` the statement is in context, which is the
# whole of what was wanted.
#
# WHAT "CONSEQUENTIAL" MEANS HERE, AND WHY IT IS NOT A LIST. The obvious
# implementation enumerates act kinds — a write to product code, a schema
# change, a bulk classification, a merge. Every one of those is consequential
# because THIS operator wrote rules about it, and a shipped list would be this
# instance's corpus hard-coded into the product (rule 115). So the corpus
# decides: an act is consequential when the install's own rules speak to it
# with high confidence. A fresh install with no rules never stops anything,
# and an install whose rules are about something else entirely stops on that
# instead.
_CHECKPOINT_THRESHOLD_KEY = "kb_checkpoint_threshold"
# MEASURED, not chosen (2026-09-21, `retrieval_telemetry(days=30)` on the
# instance this was built on — recorded as provenance for the number, not as
# a defence of it under rule 115):
#
# write_path_rule floor 0.72 p10 0.6984 p50 0.7319 p90 0.7628 max 0.8817
# pre_tool_rule floor 0.68 p10 0.6838 p50 0.7018 p90 0.7373 max 0.8293
#
# 0.80 sits above p90 on BOTH arms and below max on both, so it selects from
# the top decile of an already-selective arm rather than from its bulk — and
# it is reachable, which a bar above 0.8293 would not be for the busier arm.
# Over that window the two arms returned ~3,584 non-empty calls between them,
# so an upper bound of one tenth of those is ~12 a day across a very heavy
# install, and the true rate is lower because 0.80 is not p90 but above it.
#
# A SETTING, because the number above is a distance in one embedding model's
# geometry over one corpus and cannot transfer (retrieval_surfaces' opening
# argument). The default ships as a starting point with the means to correct
# it, which is the only honest form for a number like this.
_CHECKPOINT_DEFAULT = 0.80
# A session cannot be stopped more than this many times, however the corpus
# scores. Not a tuning value — a guard on the worst case, like MAX_BUDGET: a
# mis-set floor or a corpus that suddenly resembles everything must degrade to
# a noisy session, never to one that cannot make progress. The hook enforces
# it, because only the hook knows what a session is.
CHECKPOINT_SESSION_CAP = 5
# AND A REPEAT COMPETES ON RANK ALONE (#3750), WHICH SURVIVES THE BAND.
#
# Since #3750 a hit already on the session's exclusion ledger is RENDERED
# rather than dropped, which raises a question the old behaviour never had to
# answer: when the top-ranked hit is one the session has already seen, does it
# take its place, or step aside for a fresh rule behind it?
#
# It keeps its place, and nothing is promoted past it. #3851 widened the arm
# from one slot to a banded set and did NOT reopen this: a repeat still ranks
# where it ranks, and the band is applied to scores with no regard for what
# the session has seen. The two are independent, exactly as `kind` and `seen`
# are independent in the renderer — rank answers "what is relevant now" and
# the ledger answers "have you been told", and neither is evidence about the
# other. Two reasons, both unchanged by the widening.
#
# RANK IS THE ANSWER TO "WHAT IS RELEVANT NOW". If the repeat scores 0.85 and
# the best fresh candidate 0.73, the repeat is the better match for the action
# actually being taken. Overfetching in order to promote the fresh one past it
# would reinstate exactly the withholding this milestone exists to remove, one
# rank deeper and harder to see — recency is not a reason to show a worse
# match, and "you have seen this" is not the same claim as "you are holding
# this".
#
# AND THE COST OF A SECOND LINE IS NOW PAID DIFFERENTLY, NOT WISHED AWAY.
# This paragraph used to read "a second line is the one thing the limit above
# forbids", on the strength of "a reference costs the same ~40 tokens as a
# first surfacing". Both halves are now wrong and the second was already
# wrong when written: a full line is ~143 tokens once the trigger is rendered,
# and #3855's rewrite of the corpus roughly tripled trigger length, so five
# full lines on a push probe measure ~646 tokens before EVERY Bash call.
#
# That number is why the widening pairs with a compact rendering rather than
# arriving alone (see `_rule_hint_line`). The old paragraph's instinct — that
# a fourth voice which speaks at full volume twice is where a reader stops
# reading — is the half worth keeping, and it is answered by making the
# later lines quieter rather than by refusing to have them. Top hit full,
# the rest as references: ~299 tokens against ~568 for five full lines, so
# roughly 2x the old single line for four more rules.
#
# The reference keeps its TAIL and loses only its trigger, which is both the
# cheaper and the safer cut — see `_rule_hint_line`, where the first attempt
# dropped the tail as well and #3750's guard caught it within one commit.
#
# The consequence is deliberate and worth naming: a rule that keeps ranking
# first for a recurring situation keeps being referenced, every time the
# situation recurs. That is the intended behaviour — the situation recurring
# IS the trigger — and its decay belongs to exclusion ageing (#3751), not to
# a rule that ranks first being quietly demoted for having won before.
# WHY THE ARMS NO LONGER FILTER TO ONE TIER (#3702).
#
# Both arms used to pass `tier="conditional"`, on the reasoning that an
# always-on rule is already in the session, so surfacing it again is pure
# noise. That reasoning conflates two different things:
#
# PRESENT IN CONTEXT — the rule was delivered at session start.
# SALIENT AT THE MOMENT — the rule is in front of the reader when the
# action it governs is about to be taken.
#
# A rule handed over in a list at turn zero is present while a session writes
# a config value three hundred turns later. It is not surfaced. So the filter
# did not merely skip a redundant hint — it made a whole class of rules
# permanently ineligible for the only mechanism that puts a rule in front of
# an agent AT the moment, and the more important a rule is, the more likely
# it was in that class.
#
# The deeper defect is that the filter was doing the THRESHOLD's job. Whether
# a rule belongs in this hint is a relevance question, and a similarity bar is
# the control for relevance. A categorical exclusion standing in for a
# relevance judgment cannot be tuned, cannot be measured, and cannot be wrong
# in a way anybody notices.
#
# THIS IS A MEASURED CHANGE, NOT A SETTLED ONE. The old comment's fear is
# real — a hint that fires on every write and says obvious things teaches the
# reader to skip the block, and the surface is then lost along with its true
# positives. That fear had simply never been checked. `retrieval_logs` already
# records top_score, result_count and the query for every call, so the
# evidence now arrives on its own:
#
# - rules clear the bar often and at high scores -> the fear was justified,
# the filter was a crude proxy for a bar set too low, and the WORK IS THE
# BAR. Any reinstated filter should then carry a measured reason.
# - rules clear rarely, in a thin band near the bar -> the filter was never
# the right instrument and relevance was always sufficient.
#
# Only the eligibility moved. The bar and k=1 were both left exactly where
# they were, so the resulting distribution has one cause.
# How much of a command reaches the embedding (#3476). A shell call is not a
# file: most are short, and the ones that are not are usually a heredoc or a
# pasted script whose bulk says nothing about which rule applies. The VERB AND
# ITS TARGET sit at the front — `curl https://git.fabledsword.com/api/...`,
# `docker compose up`, `git checkout -b` — and that head is the whole signal.
# Sending the tail as well would push it out of a 512-token window and let a
# heredoc's prose decide the match.
_TOOL_QUERY_CHARS = 400
# Minimum SUBSTANCE (non-whitespace chars) a payload must carry before the
# semantic arm will run at all — the cheap half of the operator's #89 idea
# ("a sliding scale between number of characters and semantic threshold").
#
# Deliberately NOT a settings knob and deliberately conservative. Its job is
# only to drop payloads too small to carry meaning, where an embedding is noise
# rather than signal: `x = 1`, a renamed variable, a changed string literal —
# which is what most single-line Edits look like, and the majority of Edits are
# single-line. 48 sits below the smallest plausible reusable helper (a one-line
# `def` with a body runs ~60), so it errs toward keeping recall and leaves
# precision to the threshold above, which is where the measured separation is.
# The full length↔threshold CURVE is still open in #89 — the operator flagged it
# as wanting a brainstorm, so this stays a flat floor rather than an invented
# scale. It also saves a pointless embedding round-trip on trivial edits.

# those fall back to the raw payload and behave exactly as before. This raises
# the ceiling for documented helpers rather than fixing every case.
# Declaration forms, one pattern per shape, every pattern exposing (name, params)
# so composition doesn't have to care which matched. Deliberately regex and not a
# real parser: this runs on a PreToolUse hook's critical path, the payload is
# frequently a FRAGMENT that no parser would accept (an Edit's new_string is
# rarely a valid module), and a miss costs only a fallback to today's behaviour.

# rules is act vocabulary, so prose may well score lower across the board.
#
# Starting at the act arms' number anyway is deliberate: it is the only value
# with evidence behind it, and guessing lower would put an unmeasured bar in

# AUTOINJECT_DEFAULT_TOP_K slots — so that is the comparable budget.
#
# And a prompt genuinely contains more than one act. "Merge to main and then
# start on X" is two, governed by different rules; k=1 cannot serve that case

# follows — one number cannot serve arms whose queries are different shapes —
# and this arm's query is the most different of all. The others score an
# operator's prose or a session's code, both of which vary per call; this one
# scores a FIXED string (`COMPLETION_QUERY`) against rule triggers, so its
# score for a given corpus is a constant. A constant that lands under the bar
# is not a quiet arm, it is a dead one, and nothing about the prose arm's

The third rule arm, and the one that closes a gap the other two cannot
reach. `write_path_rule` is keyed on code, `pre_tool_rule` on a command —
both are things the session is about to DO. A rule that governs what to
SAY has no such trigger, and residency was the only surface it ever had.
Removing residency (milestone 394) without this would drop that half of
the corpus on the floor.
A SEPARATE FUNCTION, not a branch inside build_autoinject_hint, and the
reason is its early returns. That arm bails when auto-inject is disabled,
when the query is blank, when nothing clears the note bar — and every one
of those is a statement about NOTES. Folded in, a user who turned the
notes menu off would silently lose their rules too, which is the kind of
coupling nothing downstream could see. Two functions, two sets of gates,
composed by the caller.
THE OUTPUT IS DELIBERATELY NOT QUOTED, where the notes menu is. The task
asked whether the two share a header; the answer is that neither needs
one. A note line is a bare title and needs the menu's header to say what
it is doing there, while a rule line names itself in its opening words
("Standing rule that may apply…" / "Preference that may apply…"). Leaving
rules unquoted separates the two claims visually with no extra prose, and
matches how a rule line already renders on both act arms.
NO `checkpoint` KEY (#4214): the act arms can hold a call because there
is a composed act to hold, while this one fires before anything has been

"""Prior-art hint for the plugin's PreToolUse hook on Write/Edit.
`path` is the file about to be written, REPO-RELATIVE — matching the
convention snippet locations are recorded in. `code` is what's about to be
written, used only as the semantic query.
A hit recorded AT this exact path is not a reuse suggestion — it IS the
record of the file being changed, so it renders as the SYNC class (#2708):
"this snippet records the file you're editing; if the edit changes the
recorded shape, updating the record is part of the edit." That is the
operator's chosen alternative to server-side drift flagging (decision
#2707): the record gets corrected in the session that has the context,
at the moment of change. Nearby and semantic hits stay the REUSE menu.
The two classes track the session on SEPARATE channels — `exclude_ids`
(reuse) and `exclude_sync_ids` (sync) — because they answer different
questions: a title shown as "consider reusing this" twenty turns ago must
not silence "you are editing the recorded file right now" (#2708). The two
channels also now ACT differently, which is #4101: a reuse repeat is
rendered again with a `seen` marker, while the sync class still shows
once, because its claim is about an edit in progress rather than about a
record's continuing relevance and repeating it would be nagging.
Carries auto-inject's anti-bloat gates (margin, session marking,
titles-never-bodies) plus the shared top-k cap across ALL arms — so a file
with a lot of recorded history can't turn one edit into a wall of text. Two
gates are its OWN, because code is not prose: a stricter similarity
threshold, and a minimum-substance floor on `code` below which the
semantic arm doesn't run at all (#2223 — see WRITEPATH_DEFAULT_THRESHOLD and
WRITEPATH_MIN_CODE_CHARS). Returns empty context when disabled, when there's
no path, or when nothing is recorded — which is the common case, and the point.
Note the repo↔project mapping is deliberately one-way: the hook sends a git
remote, which the ROUTE resolves to `project_id` through the repo bindings.
It is never used as the location `repo` filter — a snippet's `repo` is a
free-text label the operator typed ("Scribe"), not a remote URL, and matching
one against the other would silently return nothing.
Returns {"context": str, "note_ids": list[int], "sync_note_ids": list[int],
"config": dict} — `sync_note_ids` is the subset of `note_ids` shown as the
sync class, so the hook can feed each dedup channel its own ids. The
semantic arm is logged to retrieval_logs as source='write_path' — its own
source, so its precision is tunable separately from auto-inject's.
Location hits still carry no score and so stay out of retrieval_logs, whose
score distribution they would corrupt. What closed the gap (#2085) is that
un-scored surfacing now has its own home: every arm emits note_usage_events,
tagged 'write_path_sync' vs 'write_path_place' vs 'write_path_semantic', so
each claim's pull-through rate is measurable on its own.
``stamp_shapes`` turns the same request into the ledger's write-path feed
(#2791): the (kind, name) definitions the hook saw in — or enclosing —
the payload. When the session has PULLED a snippet recently and this
payload references or resembles it, those shapes carry it as a PROPOSAL
(see shape_ledger.suggest_write_path_instances) and the result's
``suggested`` lists them. Never a verdict since milestone 439: the agent
that wrote the code judges it at the end of the turn, shown this as
evidence. The route passes it only for a caller allowed to write — a
read-scoped key gets the hint, never a ledger write. ``repo_key`` (the
hook's remote, normalised) homes a provisional row for a shape the
ledger has not synced yet.

# against the resident set as it stood now, and said which rules had moved
# or fallen out of force. That was worth doing while a session held a
# fixed set of rules from turn zero and could be holding a stale copy of
# it hours later.
#
# Nothing is resident now. A rule is retrieved at the moment it applies,
# so a session cannot be holding an out-of-date one — the next act that
# needs it fetches it again. The staleness this arm reported was an
# artifact of the delivery model rather than a fact about the corpus, and
# it goes with the model.
#
# `staleness` survives as the list the arms below still append to.
# The guard sits BELOW the staleness arm on purpose. A rules change is
# unconditional news — it does not become less true because this
# particular write happened to match no prior art — and this arm is one
# indexed query, only when the session actually sent a marker.
#
# The standing-rule arm further down is deliberately left on the far side
# of this guard: that one runs a SEMANTIC search, and moving it here would
# run an embedding query on every write in the session. Its gating is a
# separate question from this one (see the note on #3244).
# The design arm (#4256) is decided HERE, above the guard, so a UI write
# that matched no prior art still carries it — and it returns on its own
# rather than joining the guard's condition, because joining it would let
# a design line switch the standing-rule arm below on for writes where it
# has never run, moving that arm's call distribution under its floor.

That arm is keyed on `code or path`, so a rule can only be retrieved at the
moment of a code WRITE. Every rule about which tool to reach for — don't
curl the forge, don't stand up a stack, don't run the suite locally, don't
branch — was therefore unreachable at the moment it mattered, and residency
in the always-on preload was the only surface it had.
WHY A MECHANICAL TRIGGER AND NOT AN INSTRUCTION. Note #3089's finding is
that a reflex generates no query: you reach for `curl` confidently, with no
moment of doubt, so any surface that waits to be asked never fires. Here
nothing has to be asked — the tool call IS the query, and the reflex has to
become a tool call before it can do anything.
Deliberately TOOL-AGNOSTIC: takes a name and a string. The hook decides
which tools it watches, so widening the matcher is a `hooks.json` edit with
no change here.
EVERY TIER, since #3702 — present in context and salient at the moment are
different properties, and only the second is what this arm is for.
`root` and `cwd` are the repo's absolute root and the command's working
directory, from the hook; they are what turn the paths a command names
into the repo-relative paths a System's patterns are written in.
Fails open and returns an empty context on any error: a recall aid may
never break the operator's action.

# writing a component — the same gap every unasked arm exists to close.
#
# A TRIGGER, NOT A SEARCH. A project has exactly one design system
# (projects.design_system_id is a single FK), so there is nothing to rank and
# no vector to compute: the question "does this guidance apply here" is
# answered by the file being UI. Deterministic and cheap, and it takes no
# slot from the ranked menu — the band, floor and budget the other arms were
# tuned against are untouched by construction, which is why this adds no
# retrieval_logs row: there is no score distribution for it to join.
#
# AN INDEX, NOT THE PROSE. Resolved guidance runs to thousands of characters
# (a house style is long by nature), which would take most of the hook's
# additionalContext cap on its own. So the line names the SECTIONS of each
# inherited layer — the headings are self-describing ("Where the accent must
# NOT appear", "Voice and tone") the way rule titles are — and inlines only a
# layer short enough to be a line: in practice the leaf, since a child system
# holds just its departure from the house style. Choosing a paragraph by
# meaning would need the guidance embedded per section; that is justified
# only if this index turns out not to be read.

render_claims`): a compaction gets back the work it had claimed
with its latest logs; a new session hears about other sessions'
live and abandoned claims; a resume hears nothing.
Returns {"context": str, "project": dict | None}.
It carried `rule_count` and `rules_etag` until milestone 394, when the
preload it described was removed. The etag let the hook hand a marker back
on each write so the server could say whether the resident rules had
moved; nothing is resident now, so nothing can have moved, and a rule is
re-retrieved at the moment it applies rather than held and aged.
`context` is markdown an adapter can drop into its session verbatim; it
is capped at _MAX_CHARS with an explicit truncation note.
LIVE STATE ONLY (decision #4027, milestone 410). This used to open with the
rules reflex and close with a recall reflex — a fifth copy of guidance the
using-scribe skill owns, arriving in every session beside the other four.
It now says only what the server alone knows about THIS session: the
active project, its open work, its design system, or that the working repo
is unbound. How to work with Scribe is the skill's to say, and it says it
once.
