A directory can review repositories other than itself: a workbench whose
config, env file and records serve several, freezing each with --repo and
--out. The run took the working directory for the repository under review:
the prompt named it, the calibration was kept under it, and --trees fell
back to it. The run now reads the repository from the artifact's
freeze.json - the prompt names it and the calibration is kept under it -
and --trees defaults to what the record says: the worktree, else the
repository when it is not the working directory, else `.`, the same rule
that builds the printed run line. The working directory keeps its roles:
the config, the env file, the slots, the lens processes' cwd and every
logged path. A damaged record stops the run at preflight.
Freeze: identity, AI trailers by the consumer's rule (the pattern with
case-insensitive folds and its \s* that crosses lines), a clean tree, no
merges, a fast-forward, then format-patch, the hash, the dispositions
register and the optional detached worktree; --verify at push time. The
command line takes --opt=value, unique prefixes and the last of a repeat,
with a usage error at exit 3 like every command that cannot start; the
config is loaded and its warnings and problems reported first. The run
line it prints names this binary.
freeze.json records gitVersion. format-patch ends every patch with the
git version, so a fresh export under another git hashes differently;
--verify's MISMATCH says which git exported the artifact and which the
fresh copy, reading the patches' own signature when freeze.json does not
record it. freeze becomes a subreaper and takes down whatever gpg left
running for %G?.
tests/Freeze: 18 checks, plus the gitVersion record and both MISMATCH
messages.
