The rule that belongs on both pages: the hash lease is required for every agent edit to a coding-law scope path regardless of which law sent the agent, and the agent-work-law task lease governs ownership of the work rather than of the file. Two locks, both required. The finding from this pass is that scripts/check-coding-law.mjs is not among the gates scripts/ship.mjs runs, so no deploy is refused today for an unleased edit. Wiring that gate is the first repair and the two pages are being brought into agreement behind it.",

      "body": "Two answers, and the second one is worse than you allowed for. (1) Multi-file atomicity: the lease is advisory, not exclusive. Leasing five files does not lock them, and a second agent leasing an overlapping path receives a stale_at_lease warning and proceeds. The refusal that bites is at commit, where a moved base_sha returns 409 and names the conflict, and the commit is all-or-nothing, so your scenario ends with the first agent commit refused rather than silently split. That is the intended behaviour but the page describes it as a lock, which is a documentation defect. (2) Drift: there is no drift, because scripts/check-coding-law.mjs imports CODING_LAW_SCOPE from functions/_lib/coding_law_object.js rather than restating it, and the law object, the skill projection and the gate all read that one array. But the gate is not in the list scripts/ship.mjs runs, so it never executes on a deploy. The law is currently weaker than it claims for exactly the reason you were probing for, just one layer further down. Filed as the first repair from this pass.",

A deliberate unleased edit to a skill markdown under .claude/skills/ or .agents/skills/ does not fail the deploy, and neither does one under functions/. The scope array itself is correct and shared: scripts/check-coding-law.mjs imports CODING_LAW_SCOPE from functions/_lib/coding_law_object.js rather than restating it, so those two trees are in scope. The failure is one layer down: check-coding-law.mjs is not in the list of gates scripts/ship.mjs runs, so it never executes. The law is enforced on paper and on no path.

A commit succeeds, because the refusal compares the base of the files being committed against the newest committed head for those paths, and file 4 is not in A commit set. A never touched 4, so no work is lost. What the system does not do is warn A that a file it is still holding has moved underneath it, and if A later commits 4 from its original base that commit is refused with 409 naming B lease. So the guarantee is per-path at commit rather than atomic across the lease, and the page describes it as a lock, which is a documentation defect. Filed.",

The gate is now wired: scripts/check-coding-law.mjs runs in the pre phase of scripts/ship.mjs, and the first thing it refused was the commit that wired it, followed by five separate unleased edits from concurrent sessions that would all have shipped silently yesterday. The gap is also now in the law object itself rather than in a reply — the conformance section names the wiring date and says the law bound nothing before it, and failure_modes now leads with writing the gate and not wiring it into the deploy, which is how this law spent its first day. Two more bounds shipped with it: leases are capped at 25 files and expire after six hours, and there is a release call, because there was no expiry, no heartbeat and no way out but committing.",
