Step 4 of spc-2610100613109045: ahoy install carries what prepare-this-repo did, and that page goes.

Stacked on #918 (step 3), which is stacked on #913 (step 2). Until those merge, this diff shows their commits too.

  • The page: the whole preparation workflow lives in commands/ahoy.md's install section, in the same order, ending at "What the binary install does". commands/prepare-this-repo.md is deleted. The page starts from the detection pass: a managed repository goes straight to the binary install unless the person asks to prepare it, and an unmanaged one starts at Phase 0.
  • Old names: abcd prepare-this-repo typed at a shell gets a note naming /abcd:ahoy install. The page leaves host_delegated in record-lint.
  • Messages: the loop's brief refusal names /abcd:ahoy install, because the page's preparation is what writes the conventions file, and a default binary install writes no AGENTS.md (iss-2610101707453618). The repo lint's missing docs-lint config message names abcd ahoy install. The spec now says the same.
  • The brief: 15-prepare-this-repo.md is folded into 01-ahoy.md, its register row and index entry go, and every brief line naming /abcd:prepare-this-repo is repointed. Two peer findings on 01-ahoy.md are corrected: the status alias claim, and the user-scope tree. The release-gate manifest is rehashed.

New tests: TestRetiredPrepareThisRepoTokenNamesWhatReplacedIt, TestDocsWithoutConfigNamesAhoyInstall and TestAhoyInstallCarriesThePreparation, with the onboarding and persona tests repointed at commands/ahoy.md. All were watched fail first. No test was retired.

Two brief-review flags on the deleted chapter were removed with it: record-lint refuses a flag on a missing chapter.

abcd launch --dry-run now renders the cut the next launch ship would
make beside its bundle report: the derived version, the deciding
impact, the records, the guard and findings verdicts, in text under its
own line and in --json under a new cut key (cut_error when it cannot be
read). It is the same deterministic emit and render the changelog verb
used, with no prose and no agent. A refused cut is reported and changes
nothing about the dry run's exit.

The changelog verb goes with no alias (adr-40). abcd changelog is an
unknown command whose note names abcd launch --dry-run. Its placement,
sentence, parity note and DOGFOODING recall entry go with it, and its
tests move onto the preview: the tree-digest check, the refused cut
still exiting 0, the JSON, the page set, the uncommitted-records
refusal and the subdirectory read.

The dry run now reads the checkout root wherever it is run, as the cut
always has. Before, from a subdirectory it read the subdirectory as a
repository that declares no artefact kind and refused before reaching
the cut, which would have lost the subdirectory read the changelog verb
had. The dry run's own targeted lines are dropped when the cut is read,
because the cut lists the same intents and says which ones it moves.

The pages, the composer agent, the brief and the principle that named
the verb now name the preview. The launch chapter no longer says the
preview always exits 0 (a peer finding): a --baseline that names no
release tag exits 2, and an undeclared kind or a missing payload is
refused.

…is-repo

prepare-this-repo folds into the ahoy page's install section in the next
commit, so its name leaves the two strings that send a reader to it.

The implement loop's brief refusal for a base with no AGENTS.md now names
/abcd:ahoy install, the plugin command whose preparation merges the
conventions into AGENTS.md. It names the plugin command, not the bare
binary call, because a default `abcd ahoy install` writes no AGENTS.md.
The repo lint's warning for docs/ with no .abcd/docs-lint.json now says
to run abcd ahoy install, the binary step that seeds that file.

The product thinker's placement of 2026-10-09 folds prepare-this-repo
into ahoy install (itd-2610090831227812, decision 6 of its spec). The
fold is page-only: the binary and its refusals do not change.

commands/ahoy.md's install section now carries the whole preparation
workflow around the binary call it already made: the ownership refusal,
the authority ordering, orient, audit, adopt, the working-conventions
block, the downstream rule and the definition of done. The account of
what the binary install does follows under its own heading. A
repository already prepared goes straight to the binary half.
commands/prepare-this-repo.md is deleted with no alias (adr-40).

prepare-this-repo leaves pagesWithNoVerb and record-lint's
host_delegated list. `abcd prepare-this-repo`, never a verb, is still an
unknown command; it moves to retiredTokens, whose note names
/abcd:ahoy install. The onboarding, tool-conventions-file, persona and
hooks-arming tests now read commands/ahoy.md; a new page test holds
each phase to the install section and the old page absent.

The brief folds 15-prepare-this-repo.md into a section of 01-ahoy.md,
drops register row 15 and the index entry, and repoints the host-
delegated paragraphs, 08-skills.md, 04-naming.md's exemption list,
16-lint.md (whose opening named the page as live), 08-abcd.md,
14-ingest.md and 19-identity.md. The release-gate manifest drops the
chapter and the page, with its checker count, prompt hash and the
receipt example rehashed. The two review flags on the deleted chapter
are removed: the sentences they named left with it. README and
commands/lint.md name /abcd:ahoy install. The bootstrap test that
refuses an unrunnable `ahoy install` in README no longer counts the
slash command, which the host runs and whose page resolves the binary
through the plugin root before PATH.

Two peer findings on 01-ahoy.md, folded in with step 4's change to that
chapter.

The chapter called `status` a plugin-page alias for the bare form. It is
not: commands/ahoy.md hands every word to the binary, which refuses
`status` like any other word it does not register, so `abcd ahoy status`
is an unknown command on both surfaces.

The user-scope tree, declared the one inventory, left out files the
shipped code reads or writes under the home folder: oracle-routing.json,
interviews/, cache-attestation and statusline.json, which the symlink
rule in 03-configuration.md already lists, and backups/, where the
status-line change keeps its copies of the harness settings file.

Step 3 repointed the composer's preview source at the launch preview's cut
without the prompt_version bump and agents changelog entry record-lint's
agent_contract rule requires. It also adds changelog to the brief's list
of names retired with no alias.

…4-ahoy-install-conventions

# Conflicts:
#	.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/08-abcd.md
…kers

The shortcut straight to the binary's half keyed on the working-conventions
markers, which only the host-run preparation writes, so a repository
adopted through the binary install alone, abcd's own checkout among them,
would have been walked through the whole preparation again. The page now
starts from the detection pass: a managed repository goes to the binary's
half unless the person asks to prepare it, and an unmanaged one starts at
Phase 0. The brief's mirror sentence follows, and the spec's line on the
loop hint now says /abcd:ahoy install, matching what shipped.
