docs,ci: name the change, never the plan — naming rules + merge gate#14
Merged
Conversation
docs/agent/naming.md holds the durability test, the naming rules for branches/PRs/commits/spec files, and the no-attribution rule (no session URLs, no assistant co-author trailers). CI gains a naming job that rejects plan jargon and attribution trailers in a PR's branch name, title, commit messages, and changed paths — the file's own razor: a rule needs a gate. CLAUDE.md routes to it from Where-everything-lives, Working practice, and Enforcement; .claude/rules/go.md's commit bullet points at it.

Follow-through from the 2026-07-17 hygiene pass (history rewrite, branch cleanup, PR edits): the rules that keep it from happening again, with a gate behind them.
What changed
docs/agent/naming.md— the durability test ("would this name make sense to someone who never saw the plan?"), naming rules for branches / PR titles+bodies / commit messages / spec files, the no-attribution rule (no Claude session URLs, noCo-Authored-By: Claudetrailers), and before→after examples from the cleanup.namingjob — PR-only; rejects plan jargon (phase/pillar/sprint/milestone/week + number, batch + letter) and attribution trailers in the head branch name, PR title, commit messages, and changed file paths. Untrusted PR fields enter the script viaenv, never template interpolation..claude/rules/go.md— the commit-style bullet now points at the naming rules.Verification
go test ./...green — includes theinternal/doccheckcitation test over the new doc and edited CLAUDE.md.
