Review of the previous commit found the postcondition itself could abort
a release. It grepped the bare "X.Y.Z-rc.N" substring across the tree, and
three live files carry such strings without being image refs:
kubevirt-csi-driver's go.sum pins github.com/golang/protobuf v1.4.0-rc.2
-- a version cozystack actually cut, so promoting v1.4.0 would have
failed on a Go checksum line -- metallb_test.yaml names v1.5.0-rc.2 in a
comment, and the console pnpm-lock.yaml carries rolldown@1.0.0-rc.15. The
remediation the error message gave would have made things worse: declaring
go.sum as a ref source would sed a checksum file.
Match the version only in image-reference position now: after an
image/repository/tag key with no intervening '#', or immediately before an
@sha256 digest. Narrowing it to "${RC}@sha256:" alone would have been
wrong -- cilium keeps `tag: v1.5.0` and `digest:` under separate keys, so
the version is not always adjacent to the digest. Verified against four
real rc versions that previously aborted.
The suite also only tested the fail-closed direction, which is why that
defect survived, and the collector had no completeness guard at all: a
first-party ref added at an unenumerated path on a `latest@` tag was
mirrored by nothing and passed all eighteen tests. Since the mirror's
failure mode is the worst of the three -- the published nightly points at
the private build registry -- that gap mattered most where coverage was
thinnest.
Added: a fail-open test using the three real rc versions above; a
collector completeness diff that discovers refs by content and fails on
any the enumeration misses; coverage for the OCI-artifact shape, whose
deletion previously left every suite green; and an unreadable-file test,
since a read error was being treated as "no match" and silently skipped.
The component-versioned test was vacuous -- its rc version shared no
substring with the kamaji tag it claimed to protect, so it passed by
construction. It now uses an rc version sharing kamaji's 0.19.0 prefix,
which a loosely-anchored implementation would corrupt.
Round-trip fixture discovery matched a combined 'ghcr.io/cozystack/
cozystack/' prefix, which skips keycloak-operator (host in a sibling
registry: key) and kubeovn (host in global.registry.address). It now
matches 'cozystack/cozystack' and stamps split `tag:` keys too.
Also documented two pre-existing gaps rather than half-fixing them: the
nightly host rewrite is a contiguous-substring replace and cannot reach a
split host, and a ref inside a gzip is invisible to every tool including
the postcondition, which skips binaries. Both are host-dimension defects;
the version dimension this change owns is unaffected, because the version
always lives in a tag key regardless of where the host sits.

CRITICAL: When the user asks you to do something that matches the scope of a documented process, you MUST read the corresponding documentation file and follow the instructions exactly as written.
-
Commits, PRs, git operations (e.g., "create a commit", "make a PR", "fix review comments", "rebase", "cherry-pick")
- Read:
contributing.md - Action: Read the entire file and follow ALL instructions step-by-step
- Read:
-
Changelog generation (e.g., "generate changelog", "create changelog", "prepare changelog for version X")
- Read:
changelog.md - Action: Read the entire file and follow ALL steps in the checklist. Do NOT skip any mandatory steps
- Read:

Release creation (e.g., "create release", "prepare release", "tag release", "make a release")
- Read:
releasing.md - Action: Read the file and follow the referenced release process in
docs/release.md

Image references, tags and digests (e.g., "why is this image tagged rc", "add an image to a package", "change how an image is stamped", "promotion/nightly missed an image", "where do image refs live")
- Read:
image-refs.md - Action: Read the entire file. Image refs live in three storage shapes and carry three classes of tag; a tool that knows only one shape skips images silently rather than failing.
hack/lib/image-refs.shis the enumeration shared by the promote, retag and mirror tooling — extend it there rather than teaching an individual script a new path. Notehack/overlay-main-images.shis a fourth consumer that still walks the tree itself and does not source the library

Project structure, conventions, code layout (e.g., "where should I put X", "what's the convention for Y", "how is the project organized")
- Read:
overview.md - Action: Read relevant sections to understand project structure and conventions
- Read:

E2E tests and E2E CI (e.g., "write/fix an e2e test", "stabilize a flaky test", "add a bats test", "change the e2e workflow", "why did e2e fail")
- Read:
e2e-testing.md - Action: Read the entire file and follow the conventions exactly — no new retries on deterministic steps, event-driven backstops before every
kubectl wait, noEXIT/RETURNtraps, fail-fast on HelmRelease readiness

Issue and PR labeling, triage (e.g., "label this issue", "what label should I use", "triage this", "categorize")
- Read:
.github/labels.yml - Action: Use labels defined there. Conventions follow the Kubernetes scheme —
kind/*(type),area/*(subsystem),priority/*(urgency),triage/*(review state),lifecycle/*(auto-close),do-not-merge/*(PR blockers),security/*(severity) - For
area/*: accuracy outweighs reuse. If no existingarea/*truly fits the change, propose a new one via PR (extend.github/labels.ymland the scope mapping in.github/workflows/pr-labeler.yaml) — do not shoehorn the change into a wrong area.area/uncategorizedis the auto-labeler fallback; treat it as a signal to pick a fit, create a new area, or correct the PR title - PR titles: a Conventional Commits header (
type(scope): description, types fromcontributing.md) auto-applieskind/*andarea/*via.github/workflows/pr-labeler.yaml. Append!(or add aBREAKING CHANGE:footer) to applykind/breaking-change

Prose Formatting
Markdown files and everything an agent publishes to GitHub — PR bodies, issue bodies, review comments, release notes — use one continuous line per paragraph. Renderers collapse a soft line break into a space, so a paragraph hardwrapped at ~80 columns renders exactly like the same paragraph on one line, while breaking narrow viewports, mangling nested list and table rendering, and turning a one-word edit into a diff that reflows the entire block. The renderer decides where the line ends; the author does not.
Line breaks stay wherever they carry meaning: code fences, one item per list line, tables, headings, blockquotes, front matter, and README badge stacks. The rule governs prose paragraphs and nothing else. Commit messages are the deliberate exception — git log and the tooling around it still expect a body wrapped at ~72 columns.
This is the rule LLM agents break most often, because an ~80-column wrap is correct in the places they spend most of their time (Go comments, commit bodies) and the reflex leaks from there into documentation and GitHub. Treat it as a mechanical check at the moment of writing, not as a style preference to weigh: before saving a markdown file or passing --body to gh, look at each paragraph and confirm it is a single line.
The rule applies to prose this repository owns, and to new or changed paragraphs. Much of the existing tree predates it and is wrapped throughout; that is not a defect to go and fix. Vendored upstream chart docs (packages/*/*/charts/**) must stay verbatim — make update regenerates them — and published changelogs are historical records. Neither is in scope.
.claude/hooks/md-no-hardwrap.py enforces the rule for agents that support PreToolUse hooks (registered for Claude Code in .claude/settings.json). It refuses a Write/Edit/MultiEdit that would add a hardwrapped paragraph, list item or blockquote to a markdown file, and a gh command that would publish one to GitHub. A break counts as added only when the edit wrote both lines it joins, so fixing a typo inside a paragraph that was already wrapped goes through, while rewriting the same file as fresh hardwrapped prose does not. Anything it cannot read with certainty it allows — a guard that blocks legitimate work gets switched off, and then it guards nothing — which includes a body the shell assembles at runtime, and a --body-file written by the very command being checked, since the file does not exist yet when the hook runs. hack/md-no-hardwrap.bats covers it under make unit-tests and requires python3. Agents on other harnesses are held to the same rule without the hook.
.claude/settings.json is tracked, so keep personal Claude Code overrides in .claude/settings.local.json, which is not. A personal .claude/settings.json predating this will be overwritten on pull without warning, because git had been ignoring it.
