| Comment: | citations: anchor appendix citations written as words
The section sign was not the only anchor in the tree. `App. A.2 L3102-3114` and `ABNF App. B.7 L3566-3575` name an appendix by word, so their ranges bound to whatever section sat further left, or to nothing. Three citations were invisible or misattributed for that reason. All three are repaired. The decoded version-gate text is App. A.2 L2547, "Decoded error: Fossil version 2.0 or later required." The transcribed gate-fire response body is L2542-2545 -- the error, clone_seqno, push and timestamp lines. The third keeps no range at all, deliberately. It cites "the seven pragma SP NAME LF productions that carry no argument", and Appendix B is flat now, with those seven SCATTERED through it: uv-push-ok at L2907, send-private at L2925, req-clusters at L2935. No single range covers them, so it names the appendix and stops. A span invented to satisfy the checker would be the same defect this sweep exists to remove, wearing a different costume. Surfacing three and repairing four takes broken from 173 to 172 while the checker gets strictly stronger. 947 citations, 775 correct, 0 unresolvable sections. test 3500/3500, fmt. Issue #18. |

citations: 126 repairs, most of them impossible to propose before
Every earlier pass asked only for a line re-key WITHIN the cited section. A citation whose claim lived in a different section could therefore only come back "unresolved" -- even when the agent had already found the right answer and written it into its reason field. Four rounds of that read as "these need a human", when what it actually showed was that the prompt never permitted the fix. This pass let each repair choose its own kind. Of 126 confirmed: 63 changed the SECTION, 41 re-keyed a range, and 22 rewrote a claim the drafts no longer make. 104 of those were structurally unproposable before. Unresolved fell from 67 to 5. The claim rewrites are the ones worth reading. reply_body_cap was documented as an RFC-mandated 512 MiB ceiling; section 4 L830-833 states the opposite, that Fossil imposes no such entity limit, so it is now documented as a zit-local cap -- the same repair the 65535-byte line bound got earlier. A verbatim quotation attributed to the draft, "The card MUST consist of exactly two whitespace-separated tokens", does not appear in it; section 10.2 L2118 says "Exactly two visible tokens are required." 42 review verdicts were refused and are not applied. Two refute agents died mid-run; their proposals were left unapplied rather than taken on trust, and one refute agent lost to a stalled stream cost 14 repairs that the completed run later recovered. Broken 172 to 42, 96 percent of citations resolving, 0 unresolvable sections. test 3500/3500, fmt. Issue #18. check-in: 76a2905055 user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |

citations: correct six section banners the sweeps could not see
Six banner comments named sections that do not exist, in the "Section N" spelling rather than the section-sign one. Earlier renumbering sweeps matched the sign and missed these on the very same page, so they are leftovers of those fixes. Each banner carries its own section TITLE, so every target is confirmed by matching that title against the draft's own header rather than by inference: Section 10.3 Configuration Exchange -> 9.3 Section 10.4 Commit-Lock Pragmas -> 9.4 Section 10.5 Private-Content and Discovery Pragmas -> 9.5 Section 3.10 Round Message Layout -> 3.2.1 Section 9.1.1 Unversioned-File Synchronisation -> 8.5.1 Section 9.2.1 Derived Branch, Tag, Leaf, Closed, and Current-Trunk Views -> 8.6.1 Section 3.10 is not a deleted section after all, which both an earlier audit and this author had assumed: it is Round Message Layout, renumbered to 3.2.1. The comments reasoning about its removal, corrected in an earlier commit, remain accurate about the reasoning being void. No "Section N" reference in the tree now names a section absent from its draft, down from six. Baseline unchanged at 173: this spelling is still invisible to the checker, which is its own item. test 3500/3500, fmt. Issue #18. check-in: c8cd73f343 user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest | |
