CI failed on the guard added in 0c3729b, which passed locally. Both were
right: docs/TODO.md sent readers to
`.superpowers/sdd/2026-09-02-versioned-allocation-rules/`, a tool-managed
ledger whose own .gitignore is `*`. It existed on the machine that wrote
the reference and has never been in the repository, so the guard saw a
real file locally and nothing at all in a fresh checkout.
Two fixes, because there were two faults:
- TODO.md now points at the four commit messages that actually record why
those surfaces work as they do — de128e3, 1cb91d3, e3023d0, f94e458 —
and says plainly that the fuller ledger was never committed. Three of
the four brief defects it described are in those messages.
- The guard now checks a path is git-TRACKED, not merely present. That is
the invariant it was always meant to enforce: a path only the author
can follow is exactly the reference a reader cannot. It degrades to a
filesystem check when git cannot answer, and `.superpowers/` joins
docs/superpowers/specs/ as a declared exception — both are named in the
docs precisely because they are not in the repository.
A fresh clone is now the standard the check measures against, so it means
the same thing on a laptop and in CI.

Moving the docs rewrote about thirty cross-references in one go. A
reference left pointing at nothing fails no build, fails no test, and
does not look wrong in review — it is found by the next person who
follows it. That is the same silence eventCapture.test.ts and
cssTokens.test.ts exist for.
Checks markdown links and backticked paths in AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md,
GEMINI.md, README.md and docs/*.md. A path counts as resolved from either
the file naming it or the repository root, since both conventions are in
use and both are unambiguous to a reader.
Scoped to the docs a reader NAVIGATES. docs/specs/ and docs/plans/ are
excluded on purpose: they are dated records of a moment, and the plan
that names src/App.tsx is describing scaffolding it went on to delete.
Holding history to today's tree would force rewriting the past or
deleting the guard.
One declared exception, with its reason in the source: AGENTS.md §4 names
docs/superpowers/specs/ precisely because it must NOT exist — it is the
tooling default that has to be overridden, or the next spec silently
recreates the old tree.

"Why is this the way it is" was answered by pointing at a directory of
five specs, which means reading five specs to find out whether the
question is even addressed. DECISIONS.md answers it in one line per
decision, grouped by area, each entry naming what the choice was made
*over* and linking into the spec that argues it.
Around forty entries. Where no spec exists — the currency model, the
baked rates, the reset — the commit message is cited as the record
instead of inventing one.
Written by reading the specs rather than from memory, which surfaced
history worth having in one place: dates were widened to accept "YYYY-MM"
rather than restructured into month plus optional day, specifically to
avoid running a migration in the browser against the user's only copy of
their financial data for an identical visible outcome.

AGENTS.md now holds the instructions and CLAUDE.md and GEMINI.md are
pointers to it. Three files of instructions become three files that
disagree; one file every agent reads cannot.
The content is reorganised rather than rewritten, into: the invariants,
the guards that fail the build, the validation this codebase deliberately
does not perform, the environment, and where to read next. Every guard
now names the test that catches it, and the two rules with no test behind
them are called out as such, because "only review catches this" is
information the reader needs.
Restructuring surfaced one rule that was missing here entirely — sw.js
must stay unhashed and be served no-cache — which had only ever been
written down in ARCHITECTURE.md.
Dropped: the `bun init` boilerplate code samples. Every rule they carried
is still stated; the hello-world test and the three frontend snippets are
not.

ARCHITECTURE, PRODUCT and TODO move out of the repository root, and
docs/superpowers/{specs,plans} flattens to docs/{specs,plans}:
"superpowers" names the tool that wrote those documents, not a kind of
document.
No content changes. This commit is the move, plus the roughly thirty
cross-references the move invalidated.

CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md and TODO.md all said no browser exists
in this environment, so appearance had never been verified by anyone. Chrome
is on PATH. Its own --screenshot flag is what fails: it fires on the load
event, before this app's async IndexedDB read resolves, and captures a blank
page — which is presumably how the claim took hold.
scripts/screenshot.ts drives CDP instead: waits past the load event, seeds
IndexedDB via --eval-file and reboots the app with --reload, clicks with
--click, applies shadcn's class-based dark palette with --dark, and reports
console errors and uncaught exceptions. A page that renders blank from a
thrown error looks identical to an empty one, so the console output is half
the value.
Two defects found by simply looking:
- The month table's numeric columns had no horizontal padding, so figures ran
into each other: "+7,175.00 DKK4,200.00 DKK". Now padded.
- Dev logged "The script has an unsupported MIME type ('text/html')" on every
boot, because registerServiceWorker asks for sw.js and the "/*" catch-all
answered with the HTML shell. Dev now serves an inert worker.
Confirmed working, first time seen: the carry meter (including red where a post
is overspent), the Task 5 rule-history editor, the Task 6 "change from here"
control, and baked FX rates showing as "manual - 2026-09-01" in Settings.
Recorded in the docs, with the limits stated: this container's fontconfig maps
every generic family to a monospace face, so screenshots need a FONTCONFIG_FILE
override or you will chase a font bug that does not exist; Chrome starts from
an empty profile each run; and no screenshot can judge how a design feels.

TODO.md carries the remaining work with the reasoning already settled, so the
next agent does not re-derive decisions: tasks 3-6 of the versioned-rules plan,
the designed-but-unbuilt baked FX rates, the queued visual redesign, the small
residuals, and an explicit list of what only a human with a browser can check.
ARCHITECTURE.md explains the layer rules, the single-implementation fold, the
mutation pipeline's three deliberate properties, and the gotchas that each cost
a real bug — reading a deferred event.target.value, an unset BUN_PUBLIC_* var
reaching the browser, and overriding shadcn's --accent.
CLAUDE.md gains those gotchas, the dated-rule model that replaced standingRule,
the validation this project deliberately omits, and an explicit statement that
visual and offline behaviour cannot be verified in the agent environment.
