Beside the push gates, crafter-review runs the pre-send review of a kernel
contributor's workbench: --mode series over a format-patch export with its
cover letter, --mode reply over a mail draft. The inventory partitions a
cover letter, a plain mail and the camera review's shape; ten kernel lenses
join the table with their gates (structure, code, artifact truth) and the
persona gate - one maintainer-persona instance per --reviewers entry, its
whole pass gating its blocks and pruning the units that are not theirs. A
series' code units are keyed on the code like the push gates'; every text
unit on its text, the references it cites and the anchor when it is dated.
The references an artifact cites are prefetched through utilities/lore.py
into the gate-state, with a digest in the run layer, and a persona's
calibration map is its lore listing. The kernel schema carries the persona
vocabulary, the kernel note kinds, the predicted review and the not-mine
list; the matrix the persona holes, the thin and the modelled units; gates
clean without a persona pass is GATES CLEAN. A reply's gate-state sits
beside the draft and is read once; a kernel mode needs --subsystem,
defaults the effort to max and the trees to work/linux,work/milos-linux,
and excuses no unit from the holes.
The kernel lenses and the common text ship verbatim; the table lists them
after the push gates' lenses and the config template holds them off, so a
repository that never turns them on changes nothing. Prompts, keys and plans
were checked byte for byte against the pipeline these modes replace, on its
own artifacts: two replies and a series, every system prompt, user prompt,
job and reuse key identical.
Every claim in every commit message, and in the documentation the range
adds or changes, proven or gone. The lens's block kinds are text, doc and
slot: a message unit is keyed on its text, the base and the code up to its
commit (MessageDeps); a documentation unit on its file, its normalised
text, the base and the code of the whole range (DocKeyParts); a diffstat on
its text alone; whole:order and whole:absent are asked in slot passes of
its own, never stored. A documentation file's diff header and a part the
commit writes nothing in are a mechanical n/a. Budgets 60/40 for a text or
doc block, 50/35 for a slot; one read. Gate 4, after the proofs, so the
messages and documents are read once the code they describe has settled;
the owner's gate is 5.
The goldens that follow from the lens table are derived by
tests/Goldens/derive.py, which asserts that the recorded table still
reproduces the recorded entries before it writes.
Proven, with the opt-in commit after this one: the suite (26 passed); a dry
run of a scratch range (2 commits, a README with sections) by the previous
binary and this one with the three static lenses on and the rest off, 25
prompts and 4 system files byte for byte; with repo-facts on as well,
those files unchanged and 10 passes and 1 system file added.
The lens's firing proof in this pipeline is owed (the owner's go).
process/ holds the procedure, the five lens texts, the templates and the
skill under process/skill/prepush/. A lens text's sha256 is part of every
reuse key and the texts are part of every prompt, so they carry no SPDX
header; --version prints the charter hashes: 1728bd4c, 148d5c4c,
c7ffef44 and 2b9a5f83 for the four charters.
Home() finds them: CRAFTER_REVIEW_HOME, natively only (a host setting
must not swap the Flatpak's texts for a checkout's), then
<exe>/../share/crafter-review, then the checkout the binary was built in.
Main() hands `__supervise` to the supervisor before anything else, then
decides the sandbox once.
