Snapshot the current app-server implementation, shared Live optimizations, generated harness output, and in-progress site work before restoring polling as the primary runtime path.
Prepared with Codex assistance under maintainer direction.
Rewrite the routed bolder reference around what wins scoped
"make this section bolder" asks vs the frontend-design competitor.
Old prose was all visual levers and treated copy as secondary, so
the model kept flat placeholder copy verbatim and reached for a
decorative import for heft. New prose: scope stays sovereign;
diagnose flatness as opting out of the system's own moves; amplify
the system's own vocabulary; let content carry the weight; commit
then clarify; give the section its own scroll rhythm; a skeleton
test scoped to the section; a placeholder is a job, not a photo cue.
Drops the opening named-slop enumeration (self-priming) and the
120-line checklist (ceremony tax); now 31 lines.

Opus probe (r10-opus-wireframe): control articulates loose skeletons,

Contract-probe campaign findings (evals repo, notes/fable-oneshot-craft-plan.md):
a single model's resonance ranking is deterministic (30/35 identical
concepts across 16 framings); dice must come from the script, mirroring
the palette-seed result. Derived candidates stay grounded in the
audience's world + subject's cultural home; challengers win only on
identification x clarity; incumbent-with-deliberate-idea overrides the
roll. Validated at contract level on 01-observability + r10-lektor
(teletext ranks #3 for lektor; assigned index 3 produced it).

Four lines from the r10 dual consultation (codex gpt-5.6-sol + gemini
3.5-pro on the actual HTMLs) and the hero-probe micro-eval: the probe
isolated a first-viewport monoculture (same split template in every
sample, control and skill alike) and showed these lines break it while
codex's raw 15-liner alone does not. The incumbent sentence swap fixes
the r10 root cause both consultants independently identified.

Transcript evidence (a12 01-observability): plans commit and deliver on
the axes with contract-strength language (palette, type, even theme
inversion) and stay default on the axis without one (layout gets a
single conventional breath). And plans living in invisible reasoning
means nothing can hold a build to its intent. The direction is now
written as a comment block at the top of the artifact answering: the
concept, the hour-later memory, why not the modal competitor page, the
signature, the first viewport's move. Critics and evals can score
delivery-against-contract; a mood is not an answer.

Paul's a10 review: palettes are refreshed (the palette-exclusivity
line's fingerprint) while layouts stay boring in every version. Same
cure, same shape: the layout has exactly two legitimate sources, the
concept or the content's own structure; the category's habitual
skeleton is neither.

Paul's a11 review: heroes are safe SaaS viewports, everything
predictable; mobile Operate ships dark despite a brief that specifies
outdoors-in-motion use. Decide-then-build now opens with three
one-line directions differing in concept (the instinctive pick that
any studio would reach for is the default wearing your name); the
Operate mode adds: the usage scene is part of the spec, the theme
follows the scene, not the category's habit.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per Paul: rather than gating a second file, fold what made the craft
path superior into the file both models already read 21/21 through the
gate. new-work.md gains 'Decide, then build' (direction as one
confirmable paragraph; attended pauses, unattended records-and-goes;
codex.md mock flow when image generation exists) and 'Finish like a
studio' (inspect, honest critique, patch, detector). craft becomes a
deprecated alias like teach: invoking it forces attended checkpoints,
nothing else differs; the reference is a redirect stub. codex.md
retargeted. Existing-world feature builds remain governed by the core
floor (unmeasured path, noted in the plan doc).

a7 transcript evidence: 01-observability samples drew orange-honey and
green seeds, recited the color-strategy menu, and shipped dark
category-reflex palettes anyway; the model applied the subject's
workmanlike grammar to its own landing page. Two generic lines: the
mode belongs to the surface, not the subject (a landing page for a
dense tool is still Persuade; deciding a page can be plain because its
subject is workmanlike is the category error in reverse), and the
palette has exactly two legitimate sources (seed or the subject's
world; the category's habitual palette is neither).

Fix batch from the visitor-mode bias audit. The skill's four modes
(Persuade / Operate / Read / Experience) now reach the places that were
still hard-coded to a SaaS-marketing default:
- palette.mjs: rewrote 45 seed blurbs in material/world terms. The 29
tech-tool-world moods (13 Linear-indigo variants, 6 Figma-era, 5
climate-tech, 3 fintech, 2 Glossier DTC, incl. seed-201's docs-page
CTA red) lose all company names and product-category words; Aesop
trimmed from 17 blurbs to 4 and Klim from 7 to 4, excess rewritten
as unnamed material terms. Also carries the earlier bg-block rewrite
(brand refs out of the composition doc).
- init.md: register explainer now names the four modes and the family
each belongs to (stored value stays brand/product for compatibility);
Conversion & proof interview + PRODUCT.md section gated to Persuade
surfaces only (Experience/Read get no CTA/belief-ladder/proof).
- critique.md: Nielsen heuristics 7 and 10 may score n/a on Persuade
and Experience surfaces, total renormalized to the applicable max,
snapshot records which were n/a; working-memory examples diversified
beyond dashboard/pricing anatomy.
- Register headers in bolder/delight/quieter/colorize/layout/animate/
typeset renamed from Brand:/Product: to Persuade + Experience: /
Operate + Read:; typeset and layout gain one Read-specific sentence
(steady reading measure; navigable linearity).
- animate.md: plan checklist and implementation order lead with
feedback and transitions; the single entrance moment comes after,
scoped to modes that invite it.
- codex.md: mock inventory says "primary-action treatment (when the
surface has one)" instead of assuming a CTA.
- delight.md: loading/empty-state/console-egg examples diversified
beyond SaaS; streaks/badges scoped to Operate surfaces with
recurring tasks.
- distill.md: step-removal and next-action lines neutralized away
from signup/checkout/CTA vocabulary.
- document.md: canonical button label GET STARTED -> SAVE CHANGES;
signature components gain a non-marketing example.
- antipatterns registry: single-font rule renamed to "Single font
without hierarchy" with a description that permits one family when
weight/size contrast carries hierarchy.

Paul: the mode-governs section was de-biasing a persuade-tinted
playbook rather than writing neutral prose, the exact compensating-
paragraph anti-pattern. Rewritten: the corrective section is gone; the
first-viewport thesis speaks of the concept doing its job (the work,
the product, the content, the task); everything-bold's form list
includes the exact-system form natively; prove-don't-claim covers
content delivering; type guidance is parameterized by mode in one
sentence. Net shorter.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Paul's gallery check of the a8 docs run: skill-on still SaaS-ified the
documentation page. The playbook was persuade-flavored end to end, so
gating a greenfield Read surface through it risked amplifying exactly
that. New leading section: on Operate and Read surfaces boldness means
a committed system (typographic voice, spacing rhythm, one owned
accent, inevitable structure), the thesis is the content or the task
itself, and nothing invented may stand between the visitor and what
they came to do.

The when-to-choose guidance sat inside the file that only loads after
the choice is made. SKILL.md's routing now says it: bare build requests
build directly through the gate and floor; craft is routed only when
named or when the user asks for a guided, checkpointed build. The
Commands row describes craft by its checkpoints. craft.md's intro just
describes the supervised flow it orchestrates.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Stubs removed per Paul (register: values remain harmless family hints;
nothing points at the files anymore). craft.md now opens by defining
itself against plain invocation: a bare build request goes straight
through the gate and the craft floor; craft is the supervised path with
guaranteed checkpoints and the mock pipeline. One shipping-discipline
line joins the core floor (real content, interaction states, respect
the build pipeline) so one-shots inherit the bar that previously lived
only in craft's Step 4.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Answering the obvious question the family-depth framing dodged: with
modes derived per task, files named for the old two-register taxonomy
had no architectural reason to exist. brand.md's surviving depth (lane
test + inverse test, reflex-reject lanes, color discipline, layout
moves, permissions) folds into new-work.md, where all of it belonged:
it is new-identity Persuade/Experience guidance. product.md's content
moves unchanged to operate.md, its true name. Both old files remain as
one-line redirect stubs because register: brand|product in existing
PRODUCT.md files and older links point there. All cross-references
retargeted (SKILL.md modes intro, context.mjs REGISTER hint, live.md,
typeset.md); 85 tests green.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Overlap audit after the new-work split. brand.md slims to family depth
that exists nowhere else (aesthetic-lane tests, named-reference
discipline, brand layout moves and permissions); everything it
duplicated against new-work.md and the core (font procedure, reject
list, color strategy, imagery, scale/leading) is deleted, killing the
two-copies-drift hazard. product.md keeps its Operate depth nearly
intact (it was not duplicated) and gains a scope note covering Read
surfaces. craft.md becomes pure orchestration: gates, foundation,
shape handoff, image-gen flow, engineering bar, iterate, present;
its duplicated design guidance (imagery rules, visual-craft bullets,
mandatory reference reads) is replaced by pointers to SKILL.md's
craft floor and new-work.md.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Architecture per Paul: impeccable is primarily a daily driver on
existing codebases; the always-loaded core should serve that 90% path,
not carry the full generative arsenal on every invocation. SKILL.md now
holds brief-wins, existing-worlds (the headline path), the four visitor
modes, the full craft floor, and a hard gate: new identity work
(greenfield, or a redesign discarding the current look) MUST read
reference/new-work.md before any design decision. That file carries the
generative playbook (seed, subject grounding, plan/self-check/signature,
hero-thesis, everything-bold, prove-don't-claim, color commitment,
calibration, persuade type/imagery). context.mjs enforces the gate
mechanically: NEW_WORK directive when no PRODUCT.md/DESIGN.md exists,
and the old mandatory register-file read is replaced by a REGISTER
family hint. No surfaces: map anywhere; mode is derived per task.
Gate compliance is measurable via skillEvidence.directSkillFileReads.

Eval evidence showed the per-edit PostToolUse stream fires overwhelmingly
on copy-level rules (em-dash-overuse ~97x/session) and measurably makes
models more conservative, while a full-detector pass at completion is what
actually fixes contrast/padding/glow. Split the hook accordingly:
- Per-edit (PostToolUse) now surfaces only IMMEDIATE_TIER_RULES: broken
output (broken-image, text-overflow, clipped-overflow-container,
body-text-viewport-edge), objective contrast/legibility failures
(low-contrast, gray-on-color, tiny-text), single-property mechanical
slop (gradient-text, dark-glow), and design-system drift (the four
design-system-* rules, which compound if left uncorrected). Everything
else defers. Override with hook.perEditRules: "all" in
.impeccable/config.json. Tiering is off for Cursor/Copilot harnesses,
which have no Stop pass wired, so nothing gets silently dropped there.
- Stop deep pass (runStopHook): runs the FULL rule set over every UI file
touched this session (tracked via the existing hook.cache.json session
state; deferred-only edits now mark the file touched), dedupes against
everything already surfaced per-edit, honors ignore-rule/file/value and
inline disables, reuses the [impeccable@1] envelope, and no-ops fast
when no UI files were touched. Emits hookSpecificOutput
{ hookEventName: "Stop", additionalContext } per the Claude Code SDK
Stop contract (conversation continues so the model can act on it).
Second Stop fire is silent - deep-pass findings are remembered.
- Wiring: Stop entries (timeout 30) in plugin/hooks/hooks.json, the
.claude settings + .codex hooks manifests (transformers + hook-admin
repair path). Claude Code and Codex both dispatch a native Stop event;
Cursor's stop hook is inconsistently dispatched (pre-write gate stays)
and Copilot's agentStop/sessionEnd don't inject model context, so
neither gets a Stop entry - documented in reference/hooks.md.
- Tests: tiering split/override/harness gating, Stop dedupe + silent
no-touched-files + ignore machinery + kill switches; existing per-edit
tests moved to immediate-tier rule ids. 181 tests green; smoke-tested
the built dist skill end to end (glow surfaced per-edit, em-dash only
at Stop, second Stop silent).

Pairwise evals on Fable one-shot (6-task regression set, opus-4-8 judge,
position-bias-cancelled): the hand-distilled ~55-line lean core beat the
heavy v4 core 66% overall / 67% craft head-to-head, and moved the
decisive win-rate vs frontend-design from 13% to 27% (40% with the
completion-time QA scan; craft went positive 6-5 for the first time).
18/18 lean samples ran context.mjs + palette.mjs vs a minority under the
heavy core: shorter instructions get followed. Context weight itself was
suppressing both compliance and boldness.
Structure: persona + brief-wins + existing-worlds + subject-grounding +
plan/self-check + boldness + prove-don't-claim + commit + calibration +
compressed craft floor + two-paragraph registers. Commands table kept;
the no-arg context-aware menu logic moved to reference/routing.md (read
on demand in the only case that is inherently interactive). Provider
blocks and rule anchors preserved.

Eval evidence (cand-v4a1-prose): palette.mjs handed a random violet seed
to the Polish-TV lektor brief and the model anchored on it, overriding
subject-grounding; craft/shape user gates can't fire in one-shot runs
and each model improvises around them. Seed is now a reflex-check that
yields to a subject-dictated palette; craft/shape gain an explicit
unattended mode (same bar, no waiting); init interview is skipped when
no user can respond.

* Route native projects to native command variants for audit and adapt
Follow-up to #269. The web audit.md and adapt.md carried "translate this
yourself" Platform notes, so a native invocation paid for the full web
file (~1.8k / ~2.6k tokens, mostly inapplicable) and did error-prone
run-time translation. Authored with AI assistance (Claude Code) under
maintainer direction.
- New reference/audit.native.md and reference/adapt.native.md: authored
native content (VoiceOver/TalkBack, platform conformance, adaptivity
dimensions; phone-to-tablet, platform-to-platform, web-to-native
strategies). One variant per command covers ios, android, and
adaptive; per-OS specifics stay in the platform refs Setup loads
regardless.
- SKILL.src.md: Commands table lists the variants; Setup step 2 reads
the variant instead of the web file when the platform is native.
- audit.md / adapt.md: Platform sections replaced with a one-line
web-only guard pointing at the variant.
- animate.md / layout.md: Platform sections deleted; the Motion and
Layout sections of the already-loaded platform refs carry that
content. Web users now pay zero tokens for the platform axis in
these files.
- Skill-behavior scenario 15 pins the route-instead behavior (passes
live on claude-sonnet-4-6); CLAUDE.md documents the variant
convention.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Phrase command-reference routing as one rule, not rule-plus-exception
Copilot review catch: step 2 said "MUST read reference/<command>.md"
and then carved out the native variant, which invites loading both
files. Now a single rule: read the web reference or the table's native
variant, one file, not both. Scenario 15 re-verified live. Applied with
AI assistance (Claude Code) under maintainer direction.

* Anchor native runs in animate/layout, drop loaded-refs assumption
Review-thread fixes, applied with AI assistance (Claude Code) under
maintainer direction:
- Greptile: deleting the animate/layout Platform sections left native
runs alone with web tooling instructions (CSS keyframes, GSAP, Grid,
clamp()). Restore a one-line anchor in each pointing at the loaded
platform reference's Motion / Layout section (~20 tokens, not the old
restatements).
- Bugbot: audit.native.md and adapt.native.md asserted the platform
refs were "already loaded in Setup", but the command reference loads
at step 2, before step 5. Now they instruct: read the platform
reference first if Setup hasn't already.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Carry the native-variant rule into routing rules 2 and 3
Bugbot catch: Setup step 2 routed native projects to the variant, but
routing rules 2 and 3 (the operative text at command time) still said
to load the generic reference file. Both now reference the same
one-file variant rule. Applied with AI assistance (Claude Code) under
maintainer direction.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Point animate/layout native anchors at the files, not "loaded" refs
Bugbot catch, same class as the variant wording fix: the anchor lines
said "the loaded platform reference" but command files load at step 2,
before the platform refs at step 5. Both anchors now name the files and
instruct reading them first if Setup hasn't already. Applied with AI

* Add a platform axis (web / ios / android / adaptive) to the skill
Orthogonal to register: register decides whether design IS or SERVES the
product; platform decides the delivery target and which native conventions
apply. Set `## Platform` in PRODUCT.md; a missing field defaults to `web`,
so legacy projects are unaffected.
- extractPlatform() in skill/scripts/context.mjs (mirrors extractRegister);
the CLI appends a NEXT STEP directive to read the native reference(s).
`adaptive` (Flutter / RN / KMP shipping both iOS and Android) loads both
ios.md and android.md.
- New reference/ios.md (Apple HIG distilled) and reference/android.md
(Material 3 distilled); reference/web.md is a thin pointer. The native
refs frame register's role as narrow: platform conformance is the bar,
brand lives in the expressive layer the platform gives you, never by
breaking the rails.
- Setup step 5 loads the native reference(s) when platform is native. Live
mode and the detect CLI stay web-only, gated off ios/android/adaptive.
- init asks platform right after register; adapt/audit/animate/layout carry
short platform divergence notes; all secondary spots thread `adaptive`.
- a11y stays in audit.md (loading it at design time makes output timid), so
the native refs carry no Accessibility section; audit.md's Platform
section owns native a11y.
- Tests: extractPlatform unit coverage + skill-behavior scenario 10
(PRODUCT.md platform ios -> agent loads ios.md).
Source-first: only skill/, scripts/, tests/, CLAUDE.md, NOTICE.md, the
changelog and version are committed; the sync workflow regenerates the
provider trees and ./plugin on merge.
ios.md / android.md are distilled from the MIT-licensed
ehmo/platform-design-skills; attribution in NOTICE.md.

* Address review: gate web tools on native platforms, drop version churn
Maintainer-review fixes applied with AI assistance (Claude Code), on top
of the rebased platform-axis commit:
- Design hook (post-edit and Cursor pre-edit) now resolves the project
platform via loadContext + extractPlatform and skips its web rule scan
for ios / android / adaptive projects, so React Native / Flutter code
never draws web-shaped findings (new hook-lib resolveProjectPlatform /
isNativePlatform helpers, covered by unit and subprocess tests).
- context.mjs CLI warns on an unrecognized ## Platform value (e.g. a
toolchain name like `flutter`) instead of silently defaulting to web;
extractRegister / extractPlatform now share extractSectionValue.
- Removed reference/web.md: nothing loaded it; CLAUDE.md carries the
"web has no extra rulebook" explanation.
- init.md: skip live-mode config (Step 6) for native platforms; note the
per-app PRODUCT.md pattern for repos shipping web + native.
- android.md: Material-everywhere apps that also ship on iPhone still
owe iOS OS guarantees (safe areas, Reduce Motion, edge-swipe back).
- ios.md: reworded a design-time line that framed Dynamic Type as an
accessibility check (a11y stays owned by audit.md).
- Renumbered the new skill-behavior scenario to 14 after main's 10-13;
updated CLAUDE.md scenario list; added android + unrecognized-value
CLI test cases.
- No version or changelog changes: versioning happens at release time.

* Tighten platform reference prose
Editorial pass on the platform-axis text, applied with AI assistance
(Claude Code) under maintainer direction:
- ios.md / android.md rewritten to house style: single-line paragraphs
(no hard wraps), one-sentence scope intro, deduplicated intro/slop-test,
register-compression down to two sentences. In-file attribution
paragraphs removed (NOTICE.md owns attribution); "read on top of the
register reference" cruft removed (SKILL step 5 and the context.mjs
directive already say it). Bans sections dropped: they restated the
rules above them; the two additive items (tab-bar overload,
hover-dependent affordances) folded into rules. ~40% smaller each.
- Sub-command Platform sections (adapt, audit, animate, layout), SKILL
step 5, init.md platform prose, and the context.mjs directive trimmed
the same way.
Build (prose validators, counts) and both test runners green.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Treat an empty PRODUCT.md section as absent, not the next heading
Copilot review catch: extractSectionValue read the next `## ...` heading
as the section value when a field was left empty, which made the CLI
warn "value `## Product Purpose` is not recognized". Stop at the next
heading and return null instead. Regression tests for extractPlatform,
extractRegister, and the CLI warning path. Applied with AI assistance
(Claude Code) under maintainer direction.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Only read a token list of both native targets as adaptive
Bugbot catch: after the exact platform tokens failed, any Platform line
containing the words ios and android was classified adaptive, so
negated or explanatory prose ("web only, not ios or android") silently
loaded both native refs and skipped the hook, with no warning. The
combo parse now accepts only list separators and the two platform
words; anything else falls through to the CLI's unrecognized-value
WARNING. Regression tests added. Applied with AI assistance (Claude
Code) under maintainer direction.

* Sync plugin and harness copies after DESIGN.md spec link update.
build:release copies skill/reference into plugin/ and all harness dirs, so
refresh those generated outputs here instead of leaving plugin/ stale.

* Use raw GitHub URL for DESIGN.md spec in agent-facing refs.
The blob URL serves HTML; raw.githubusercontent.com returns plain markdown
that agents can fetch directly.

* Add inline, in-file ignore comments for the detector (issue #283)
Complement config ignores with eslint-disable-style waivers that live where
they apply and travel with the file when it leaves the repo. The motivating
case is a generated/exported standalone document that legitimately uses a
first-party brand typeface (on the overused-font list) and is later scanned
without .impeccable/config.json present.
Marker is comment-syntax-agnostic (works in //, /* */, <!-- -->, #, {/* */}):
impeccable-disable <rule>[, <rule>...] [-- reason | : reason] whole file
impeccable-disable-line <rule>... same line
impeccable-disable-next-line <rule>... next line
Bare directive or * means every rule; reason is optional and discarded at
scan time. Behavior is suppression, for parity with config ignores.
Implementation:
- New pure module cli/engine/shared/inline-ignores.mjs (parser + filter, no
Node deps). Static-HTML findings have no line number, so only whole-file
directives apply there -- exactly the standalone-document case; the
regex/text engine additionally honors the line-scoped forms.
- Wired into detectText and detectHtml, gated by options.inlineIgnores.
- detect CLI applies inline ignores by default; --no-inline-ignores skips
just them, --no-config skips config and inline ignores together.
Docs: config.md (new section), detector.md, README. skill/reference/hooks.md
reversed its prior "inline comments are not supported" guidance and now points
the agent to inline waivers for the travels-with-the-file case. Changelog 3.x.
Tests: tests/inline-ignores.test.mjs (parser units, detectText/detectHtml
integration, CLI end-to-end), registered in the detector suite.

* Reconcile design hook wording with inline ignores
Two hook-side fixes prompted by review of the new inline-ignore feature:
1. Clean-ack steer line. The old line ("Keep typography hierarchy, spacing
rhythm, and color contrast intentional on the next change.") read as an
odd non-sequitur after "No anti-patterns." Reworded the whole clean ack to
say what it means: a clean scan only clears the deterministic rule set, not
overall design quality, so keep following the design system and skill
guidance. Now: "Design hook scanned X. No deterministic design-quality
issues found. That does not mean the design is good: keep following the
project design system and the impeccable skill guidance."
2. Directive footer. It still told the agent "Do not add source comments such
as `impeccable: ignore`; those pollute the code and do not suppress hook
findings." That is now misleading: the hook runs the same detector engine
as the CLI, which honors inline `impeccable-disable` waivers, so they DO
suppress hook findings (consistent with config ignores, which filterFindings
already honors). Reworded to: don't silence a real finding to skip fixing
it; suppress only after the user confirms intent; prefer a config ignore,
and reach for an inline `impeccable-disable <rule>` comment only when the
waiver must travel with a file that leaves the repo.
Added a hook test asserting an inline `impeccable-disable-line` comment makes
the hook scan the file clean (locks in the cross-cutting behavior), and updated
the clean-ack / footer assertions to the new wording.

* Address review on inline-ignores parser
- Case-insensitive fast-path bail-out (Cursor): the cheap substring guard was
lowercase-only while DIRECTIVE_RE has the `i` flag, so a mixed-case marker
like `Impeccable-Disable` skipped parsing entirely and never suppressed.
Switched the guard to `/impeccable-disable/i.test(...)`. Added a regression
test.
- Removed the unreachable `-->` branch from TRAILING_CLOSER_RE (Greptile):
`--+>` already matches `-->` and any longer dash run.
- Replaced the always-truthy lazy-match + `if (sep)` reason strip with an
explicit first-separator slice (Greptile): clearer and drops the dead branch.

* Align inline-ignore line numbering with the detector (CRLF/CR endings)
parseInlineIgnores split lines with /\r\n|\r|\n/, but detectText numbers lines
with split('\n'). On classic `\r`-only endings the two diverged, so a
disable-line / disable-next-line directive could key a different line than the
finding it should waive (Cursor review). Split on '\n' only, matching the
detector exactly; the directive regex already excludes '\r', so a trailing '\r'
on CRLF files is never captured into the rule list. Added a CRLF regression test
through the real detectText.

Context files (PRODUCT.md / DESIGN.md) resolve child-first then fall back to the repo root, and /impeccable live lets the user pick a child app in a monorepo. Single-app behavior is unchanged. Closes#202. Co-Authored-By: abdulwahabone
* Add GitHub Copilot hook support (CLI + cloud agent)
Wire the Impeccable design detector into GitHub Copilot's hook system so
direct file edits get the same post-edit design feedback the Claude Code,
Codex, and Cursor harnesses already receive.
GitHub Copilot's contract differs from the existing harnesses (verified
against Copilot CLI 1.0.63):
- Repo-level manifest at `.github/hooks/impeccable.json` (read by both the
CLI, once committed to the default branch, and the cloud/app agent).
- Flat `postToolUse` entries with `bash`/`timeoutSec` and a full-match
`matcher` regex; the file-editing tools are `edit` and `create`.
- The stdin event uses camelCase `toolName`/`toolArgs`, where `toolArgs` is
a JSON *string* carrying the touched file under `path`.
- Context is injected via a top-level `additionalContext` string.
Changes:
- hooks.js: buildGitHubHooksManifest() + route `github` in hooksJsonFor().
- providers.js: emitHooks/hooksManifestRel for the github provider.
- hook-lib.mjs: detect the github harness, normalize the camelCase event
(parse the JSON-string toolArgs -> tool_input.file_path), and emit the
`additionalContext` payload shape.
- hook-admin.mjs / skills.mjs: install + idempotent-repair the
`.github/hooks/impeccable.json` manifest (bash-aware marker stripping).
- hooks.md: document GitHub Copilot as a supported harness.
- Tests for the builder, routing, event normalization, and end-to-end run.

* Cover Copilot apply_patch edits in the hook (live-verified)
The first cut matched only `edit|create`, the tool names `copilot -p` uses.
A live trace against Copilot CLI 1.0.63 in an interactive session showed it
edits files via `apply_patch`, whose toolArgs is a raw OpenAI-format patch
string (`*** Begin Patch` / `*** Add File:`), not JSON. With the narrow
matcher the hook command never ran.
- hooks.js / hook-admin.mjs: matcher -> `edit|create|apply_patch`.
- hook-lib.mjs: normalizeGitHubEvent now routes apply_patch's raw patch
string into tool_input.command (reusing the existing parseApplyPatchPaths /
resolveTargetFiles plumbing) and only JSON-parses toolArgs for the
edit/create/view tools. tool_name is normalized to apply_patch so the patch
path is extracted even if a future build relabels the tool.
- Tests: apply_patch matcher assertions, event normalization, and an
end-to-end runHook covering the interactive/cloud path.
Verified live: a trusted interactive `apply_patch` edit fires the hook and
returns the expected `additionalContext` design reminder.

* Address review feedback + add changelog entry
- hook-lib.mjs (Bugbot, low): looksLikeApplyPatch no longer misroutes an
edit/create event whose edited *content* contains apply_patch markers. A
real apply_patch payload is a raw string that does not parse as JSON; an
edit payload is a JSON object, so only non-JSON-object strings are treated
as apply_patch. Edit events keep extracting `path`. Adds a regression test.
- skills.mjs (Bugbot, medium): document why `.github` is intentionally
excluded from hookScriptPathForProvider. Its hook manifest is committed and
shared (read by the Copilot cloud agent and teammates), so the command must
stay portable via `$(git rev-parse ...)`; rewriting it to a machine-local
absolute path would break those. GitHub skills are project-scoped, so the
project-relative path resolves.
- changelog: add an Upcoming (v3.x placeholder) entry for the Copilot hook.
Version is not bumped yet (batching with other changes).

* feat(cli): interactive hook consent + unified .impeccable/config.json
Make the design-hook install a conscious choice and unify scattered config
into one file.
Interactive consent
- On an interactive `skills install`/`update`, the CLI explains what the hook
does and offers to install it (default yes), then records the per-developer
decision in the gitignored `.impeccable/config.local.json`, so it never
re-asks. A recorded decision or an already-installed hook short-circuits;
`-y`/non-TTY keeps the historical install-by-default behavior; `--no-hooks`
is a one-off skip that records nothing. The trigger keys on "is the hook
installed?" + "is there a recorded decision?", not a brittle version check.
Unified config
- `.impeccable/config.json` (shared) and `.impeccable/config.local.json`
(gitignored) now hold all Impeccable settings: hook settings under a `hook`
key, plus top-level `updateCheck`. `/impeccable hooks` writes the `hook`
subtree, preserving siblings. The hook runtime reads `hook.quiet` and
`hook.auditLog`; context boot reads `updateCheck`. The legacy
`IMPECCABLE_HOOK_DISABLED|QUIET|LOG` and `IMPECCABLE_NO_UPDATE_CHECK` env vars
still work and override config; docs now lead with config and treat env vars
as a legacy note.
- No backward compat for the pre-unification `hook.json`/`hook.local.json`
(the hook shipped an hour ago; nothing in the wild uses it). This repo's own
hook config is migrated to `.impeccable/config.json`.
The CLI and skill scripts are separate trees, so a small CLI-side config module
(cli/lib/impeccable-config.mjs) duplicates the config-path and .git/info/exclude
handling; comments flag the duplication.
Tests: new cli config unit test; skills-cli consent tests (declined skips,
accepted installs, --no-hooks records nothing); hook.test.mjs back-compat
removed and quiet/auditLog-from-config + gitexclude coverage added. Full suite
green.

* fix(hooks): preserve sibling config fields + resolve audit log from event cwd (Bugbot)
Two Bugbot findings:
- High: `/impeccable hooks` edits replaced the whole `hook` object with the
merge-helper output, dropping fields those helpers don't manage — so an
`ignore-value --local` could wipe the recorded install consent and make the
CLI re-prompt. writeConfig now merges over the existing hook object, keeping
consent/quiet/auditLog.
- Medium: config-based audit logging resolved hook.auditLog from process.cwd(),
which can differ from the hook event's project root (and Cursor's pre-edit
hook passed no cwd). The hook now stamps the resolved project root on the
audit entry, and writeAuditLog reads config from entry.cwd when present.
Tests: a /impeccable hooks edit preserves consent + quiet; writeAuditLog
resolves config auditLog from entry.cwd, not the fallback cwd.

* fix(hooks): resolve a relative auditLog path against the project root (Bugbot)
A relative hook.auditLog was read from the project root but written relative to
the hook process cwd, so when those differ the log went to the wrong place.
writeAuditLog now resolves a relative target (from env or config) against the
same project root it reads config from. Absolute and ~/ paths are unchanged.
