CLAUDE.md is read at every message of every session. Measured 2026-09-21 it had grown to 310 KB, about 90 thousand tokens a message, and 98 KB of it was a journal of twenty dated state blocks. The owner's decision: a guarded ceiling of about 30 KB, the state in one document that is rewritten rather than appended to, and the verdict table of the regression surface living in REGRESSION.md above the paragraphs that justify it.

  • summaryshape_test.go (new): CLAUDE.md fits a ratcheting ceiling, holds no dated state block and keeps the sections a new session is promised. docs/STATE.md fits its own ceiling and has exactly one "where we are". Broken by hand in all five directions before it was trusted, files put back byte for byte.
  • regressiontable_test.go: the verdict table and the justifications are two halves of one document now, split at a heading the guard asserts is present. A table citing no guard file is a refusal, not a pass.
  • mutationcoverage_test.go: the new guard is registered as proven by probe, like every guard that reads documents outside the repository.

Both documents live outside the repository, so both guards skip loudly on a fresh clone, as the other document guards do. No product code is touched.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Added automated checks to keep repository documentation within size limits and required structural guidelines.
    • Added validation for required headings and state sections, including prevention of dated state blocks and duplicates.
    • Improved regression documentation checks to compare verdicts with their justifications in the same document.
    • Expanded test coverage documentation for summary dates, headings, size limits, and state sections.

…on table is one document

CLAUDE.md is read at every message of every session. Measured 2026-09-21
it had grown to 310 036 bytes, about 90 thousand tokens a message, and
98 KB of it was a journal: twenty dated state blocks, fourteen struck
through, one added on top by each session and none removed. The owner's
decision: a ceiling of about 30 KB, the state in one document rewritten
rather than appended to, the verdict table of the regression surface in
REGRESSION.md above the paragraphs that justify it.

- summaryshape_test.go: CLAUDE.md fits a ratcheting ceiling, holds no
  dated state block and keeps the sections a new session is promised;
  docs/STATE.md fits its own ceiling and has exactly one "where we are".
  Broken by hand in all five directions before it was trusted.
- regressiontable_test.go: the verdict table and the justifications are
  two halves of REGRESSION.md now, split at a heading the guard asserts
  is there, and a table citing nothing is a refusal rather than a pass.
- mutationcoverage_test.go: the new guard is proven by probe, as every
  guard reading documents outside the repository is.

Both documents are outside the repository, so both guards skip loudly on
a fresh clone, as the other document guards do.

Changes

Documentation guards

Layer / File(s) Summary
Summary shape validation
internal/guard/summaryshape_test.go
Adds checks for documentation size ceilings, required CLAUDE.md headings, dated state blocks, and the single Gdzie jestesmy section in docs/STATE.md.
Regression justification alignment
internal/guard/regressiontable_test.go
Parses the verdict table and justification paragraphs from docs/REGRESSION.md, separated by ## Uzasadnienia, and reports missing or unjustified guards.
Mutation probe coverage
internal/guard/mutationcoverage_test.go
Registers the summary-shape guard with its documented failure cases and updates the regression probe description to cover both document sections.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 72efd

The new documentation guards can report success while required verdict evidence or section structure has drifted. Enforce per-row citations and exact headings before merging.

Full details: Safe File Parsing

Explanation

The new guard reads external Markdown documents with unbounded os.ReadFile. summaryshape_test.go reads CLAUDE.md and docs/STATE.md, then checks their ceilings only after the full files are loaded. It also converts the data to strings and performs whole-input regex/count operations. A huge external document can therefore exhaust memory or stall the test. The changed regression guard also uses os.ReadFile for docs/REGRESSION.md; its prior two-file read was changed, but the new guard adds the same unbounded-input risk. The paths are fixed and the text processing does not execute code or deserialize data.

Resolution

Replace os.ReadFile with a bounded reader. Open each path, read at most the applicable ceiling plus one byte with io.LimitReader, and fail cleanly when the limit is exceeded before converting or parsing the data. Apply the same approach to docs/REGRESSION.md with an explicit maximum document size. Prefer line-by-line bounded scanning instead of whole-input strings.Split or FindAllString(..., -1) when practical. If these paths can be symlinks, reject symlinks with os.Lstat or use a no-follow open operation before reading.

Require a guard citation in every verdict-table entry.

The aggregate len(cited) check passes when one row cites a guard and another verdict row cites none. This does not enforce the stated table-entry contract. Parse the verdict table into data rows and fail each row that has no *_test.go citation.

Require exact H2 lines in all three document guards. strings.Contains accepts a line such as ## Od czego zacząć w nowej sesji extra. strings.Count accepts the same form for ## Gdzie jestesmy, and strings.Cut splits REGRESSION.md at an extended ## Uzasadnienia line. Compare complete lines with the required heading. Use the line equal to ## Uzasadnienia as the split point.
