Development record
abcd recognises no generated file in a repository whose root .gitattributes has a byte outside ASCII anywhere, even in a comment line git ignores. abcd's own file has em dashes in its comments, so on abcd itself every reserve reports 'not recognised: generated files (.gitattributes on origin/main holds a byte outside ASCII)' and the shared CLI reference and surface manifest are never let through as shared.

abcd recognises no generated file in a repository whose root .gitattributes has a byte outside ASCII anywhere, even in a comment line git ignores. abcd's own file has em dashes in its comments, so on abcd itself every reserve reports 'not recognised: generated files (.gitattributes on origin/main holds a byte outside ASCII)' and the shared CLI reference and surface manifest are never let through as shared.
Grounds
- pursued: a repository whose root .gitattributes has prose comments outside ASCII shares its declared generated files; a declaration git reads as unsetting a file that abcd then calls generated would show it wrong

- dcn-26101721350326562026-10-17 — A comment outside ASCII leaves the declaration plain (facilitator-on-delegation, drain-many-accounts step 11 follow-up, refines dcn-2610170900575176): the ASCII rule is judged only on the lines of the root .gitattributes that git reads, so a blank line or one whose first non-blank byte is '#' decides nothing, as git's attribute parser skips both whole; a byte-order mark, which git skips, still voids the declaration, since leaning to not generated only shares less (grounds: git 2.52 check-attr reads an indented comment naming -linguist-generated as no line at all; abcd's own .gitattributes has em dashes in its comments and so shared nothing; iss-2610172133042562)
