cat-mode: treat intervention marker as proof wording. by EdbertChan · Pull Request #1310 · EdbertChan/catstack

EdbertChan · 2026-10-08T19:59:54Z

Summary

This keeps a personal working guide check aligned with the guide text.

The problem: the guide names an automation marker that is not a shipped skill. The checker could read that marker as a missing skill.

The fix: the checker treats that marker as process wording, so the guide can keep the marker without a false failure.

Review Claim

Approve the narrow proof update that treats the automation marker as process wording, not a missing skill.

Review Lane

Review Unit

proof

Safety Invariant

This slice changes only one regression guard's allowlist for prose-shaped tokens; it does not change shipped guidance or runtime behavior.

Slice Rationale

The slice stays with the direct regression guard because the current branch contains only that proof file.

Non-goals

No shipped guidance changes.
No runtime behavior change.
No dashboard, backfill, or analytics query changes.
No skill installation or trigger policy changes.

Measured

none: this slice changes a prose regression guard, not a runtime metric.

Test Plan

python3 -m unittest tests.test_cat_mode.TestCatModeReferences.test_every_referenced_skill_still_exists -v
python3 -m ruff check --select E9,F tests/test_cat_mode.py
PATH=/tmp/pr1310-preflight:$PATH python3 engine/skills/make-pr/scripts/preflight.py --base origin/stack/EdbertChan/automate/dashboard-health-receipt/cat-mode-require-analytics-health-receipts--8efc336d --commit-only --body-file /tmp/pr1310-body.md
node engine/skills/draft-pr/scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs --body-file /tmp/pr1310-body.md --changed-files-file /tmp/pr1310-changed-files.txt

Revert Plan

Safe to revert? Yes.
Revert command: git revert <merge-commit-sha>
Post-revert steps: None.
Data migration? No.

Depends-On: #1309

Note

Low Risk
Test-only allowlist tweak for a prose token; no production code, guidance, or runtime paths change.

Overview
Updates the test_every_referenced_skill_still_exists allowlist in tests/test_cat_mode.py so backticked intervention-must-automate in cat-mode prose is treated as process wording (an automation marker / flag example), not a shipped skill directory.

This keeps the structural regression guard aligned when SKILL.md names that marker (e.g. mid–analytics-thrash “lock the catch” examples) without reporting a false “missing skill.” No cat-mode guidance or runtime behavior changes—only the test exclusion set.
