Development record
itd-63 criterion 2 diverges for gh: the explain-then-install mode's install half is offered for gitleaks alone. ahoy.DependencyTools is {gitleaks} (internal/core/ahoy/detect.go), so ahoy install never puts gh to the question and --install-tool gh is refused by installToolNames (internal/surface/cli/cli.go), while ahoy remote and site setup refuse a missing gh with tools.Missing (internal/core/ahoy/remote.go) and show the Homebrew step the person must then run by hand. A required tool the registry knows how to install is explained but never installed on a yes, so for gh the criterion's 'the install runs only on an explicit yes' never arises. Either a gh dependency gap joins DependencyTools (offered only when a verb that needs gh is in play), or the record states that the mode installs gitleaks only.

Remedy grounds (2026-09-29)
SOTA check: the gh project names Homebrew as its recommended macOS route (https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/docs/install_macos.md, read 2026-09-29), which the registry already explains; mise refuses to act on a project's config until the person trusts it (https://mise.jdx.dev/cli/trust.html, read 2026-09-29), the same consent-before-install shape as the host-relayed yes. Rejected for fit: adopting mise or devbox as the installer, a new dependency the repository has not signed off.
Grounds
- pursued: a person at a terminal who meets a missing gh at ahoy remote apply or site setup is asked, and on yes gh is installed and the verb goes on. TestRemoteApplyOffersGhAndRunsTheStepOnYes and TestSetupOffersAMissingGh show it, and TestAhoyRemoteApplyNeverInstallsGhOnAScriptedYes shows a scripted yes installs nothing. It is shown wrong if a --yes or piped run ever reaches the install step, or a yes at a terminal still leaves the verb refusing with gh uninstalled.

- dcn-26093000000000092026-09-30 — The person answered eighteen rulings of autonomous run A on 2026-09-30 (CF1, CF2, CG1, CI1, CI2, CJ1, CK1, CL1, CM1, DR1, DR2, DR4, DR5, DR6, DQ1a, DQ1b, DQ2, DQ3), relayed by the run's interviewer abcd-23 [b1e81b] and recorded by lane recRulingsDR for orchestrator abcd-8d [5bfdfb]. The answers are kept in the local-tier file `.abcd/.work.local/scratch/reports/rulings-answered-2609-29-b.md`, lines 13 to 30, and are restated here because that file is not committed. SETTLED BLOCKERS: a blocker replaced by an accepted ADR counts as settled, so the waiting intent may start (CF1); a blocker reclassified as a discipline counts as settled too (CF2). Neither is built at this entry's base: the blocked pre-start check still refuses both shapes, and iss-2609300751191426 carries the change. AS BUILT: the App token for the dependency re-authoring workflow is minted in the shell, an openssl-signed JWT exchanged with curl and revoked on exit, with no new action (CG1); when the prompt router cannot evaluate a prompt, its envelope carries the error and leaves the active-domain list out, so the client keeps what it had (CI1); a domain that returns to the active set is re-injected on every host, one that appends to a transcript included, not only on a client that snapshots (CI2); `abcd update` shows progress only when stderr is a terminal, and saved output stays clean (DR4). BUILD: the installer (`hooks/bootstrap.sh`) writes the previous release tag into binary-meta when it swaps a binary, the session hook stays read-only, and that tag replaces the setup_version comparison of the itd-111 update notice (CJ1); the SHELL domain also teaches a repository's own guard entries, generated the same way as the bundled registry's (CK1); `step` in `abcd implement check` is renamed `stage` too, in the same breaking v0.12.0 (CM1); the fix rounds a run spends before it hands a lane back are a per-run setting beside `--pace`, for example `--fix-rounds`, default 3 (DR1); the dependency-bump intent itd-2609221842494980 ships now, with the first live bump recorded as owed until the person has created the App and its secrets (DR2); only a self-contained agent is sent to a paid provider by default, so the cold-reading positions may go while a file-reading agent such as the intent auditor is refused with the reason, and a central override, a machine-level settings list the person keeps that no agent or repository can change, may name providers that take bundled-context requests for file-reading agents (DR5); a run works in parallel, building several pieces and running reviewers at once up to its agent limit, which is new build-loop work that makes the pacing intent's criterion 6 testable (DR6); an undecided fidelity audit reopens the work, sending the feature back to a lane, and never closes like a pass (DQ1a, iss-2608290820473197); the audit moves before the merge, as part of the build loop's last lane (per ruling AI), and until that loop is ready it stays after the merge and reopens on an undecided or failed verdict (DQ1b, iss-2608290822140563); the filing-time duplicate check covers every route, the promoted inbox report, the consistency pass and the reading ingest, in a lane after remedyRequired (DQ2, iss-2609281911024185); `abcd ahoy` offers to install gh on an explicit yes (DQ3, iss-2609281911024838). KEEP: a promoted inbox report's own remedy is kept but not usable: the sender's suggestion stays in the issue's text for reference, the remedy field is `none (filed automatically)`, and a drain skips the record until a person writes the fix, so the conservative default recorded above on 2026-09-30 stands and is not widened (CL1). The person added to CL1 that when a person comes to write the real fix for such an issue, the agent offers a state-of-the-art research pass first (principle `prefer-sota`), which `commands/capture.md` says under the `capture remedy` verb. The three rulings of 2026-09-29 owed to this ledger by earlier sessions of the run, the ceilings of five and of eight sub-agents and the remedies ruling, already have their entries above, so this entry adds none.
