Why: PR test evidence depended on the agent's word (single point); the
running binary could not answer what combination it was built from; and
irreversible operations lacked an explicit agent-stops-here boundary.
Evidence: Gitea runner online (home-runner, ubuntu-latest+docker); make
version prints describe+component SHAs; two-key line maps to baseline hard
boundary 1. CI first run observed on this PR before merge (see Actions tab).
Impact: .gitea/workflows/ci.yaml runs make test + make build on PR/push;
Makefile injects main.version (make version / agent-system version);
AGENTS.md and adoption register the two-key rule. No product code change.

Why: agents skipped triggered reading and wrote into shared checkouts holding
other tasks' in-flight changes; the 2026-09-30 empty-list incident session
found 24 overlapping in-flight files only by accident at first write.
Evidence: positive/negative suite in a real scratch repo passed 19/19
(precheck READY/BUSY/SYNC_REQUIRED, start refuse/establish, hook main/badname/
longsubject refusals, sync checkpoint, finish recycle and abandon double-
confirm); the suite caught three real defects (pipefail empty-grep abort,
worktree gitdir COMMIT_EDITMSG resolution, message checks in the wrong hook
phase).
Impact: make setup enables pre-commit/commit-msg hooks; make precheck/task-
start/task-sync/task-finish provide the governed path; no existing workflow
removed. AGENTS.md carries the resident gate rules.
