"Is refused" promises an error, but a --since-base the old head does not contain makes compare_rewrite return 1, and the run exits 0 with status: diverged and the generic "the rewrite could not be compared" (which test_a_rewrite_that_cannot_be_compared_reviews_the_whole_diff pins). A reviewer who mistyped the base gets a full review with no hint that the argument was the reason. Either exit 2 there like the other bad arguments, or keep the fallback and have why name --since-base, then reword this sentence to match.

A --since-base that the old head does not descend from is accepted as is. Then old_base..$old and the tree diff both describe a history that never existed. test_a_named_old_base_is_the_old_base shows it: old sits on main0, --since-base main1 makes old_base equal new_base, and since.diff reports b.js from main1 as "rewritten" by the author. That is the base drift this change is meant to keep out. Refuse a base the old head does not contain, so a wrong flag falls back to the whole diff instead of a misleading pointer, and change that test to build old on the base it names.

--since-base is now refused when the old head does not contain it, and the bundle falls back to the whole diff: the base resolution in compare_rewrite ends with git merge-base --is-ancestor "$old_base" "$old" || return 1. test_a_named_old_base_is_the_old_base now builds old on main1 and names main0, so the flag still takes effect when the old head contains the base. test_a_rewrite_that_cannot_be_compared_reviews_the_whole_diff gets a case that names main1 for an old head on main0; the class fails without that line.

This line is the boundary between "only the Change-Id moved" and "the author changed something", and no test exercises its message side: the conflict test changes code, and the rebase test changes only the Change-Id. The most common answer to a review is a reworded commit body under a new Change-Id; add a rebase where only the message body changes and assert the header keeps ! and the reworded line is shown, so a later tightening of the strip pattern cannot quietly turn that into =.

Every way compare_rewrite can fail lands here with why saying "not an ancestor of the head", which is wrong for most of them: a --since-base the old head does not contain (the new test passes badbad1 and main1), a fetch refused or rejected by a git older than 2.29 (--no-write-fetch-head), a missing merge base in a shallow clone, or a failed range-diff. SKILL.md promises the manifest says why. The smallest fix is one accurate reason for a diverged or behind head whose comparison failed, such as "the rewrite could not be compared, so the whole diff is reviewed"; a why set at each return 1 is the fuller version if callers need to tell the cases apart.

The why now follows the status: merged keeps its text, diverged and behind say "the rewrite could not be compared, so the whole diff is reviewed", and anything else, which is unknown when the compare call fails and the commits are not in the clone, says "the comparison with that head failed, so the whole diff is reviewed". test_an_old_head_nobody_can_resolve_reviews_the_whole_diff asserts the second text and the new unknown case asserts the third. A why set at each return 1 is not added in this change. Fixed in 1f9bae7.

{from: $from, status: $status, why: (if $status == "merged"
then "a merge since then brings in other work, so the whole diff is reviewed"

elif $status == "diverged" or $status == "behind"
then "the rewrite could not be compared, so the whole diff is reviewed"
else "the comparison with that head failed, so the whole diff is reviewed" end)}')
