Overview / Motivation

Auto-filed by the /daily 2026-07-11 parked-candidate routing pass from a FORMAL workflow-fix candidate block parked on task #1271 (the Step C sweep missed it — see the sibling sweep-park-predicate filing; the /daily transcript miner surfaced it).

Goal

Scope Step 10d Guard 1's FOREIGN set to the branch's OWN commits — three-dot git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD -- tasks/ — so the strip fires only when a replayed commit actually touches a foreign tasks/ path.

Workflow gap

Bug observed: Step 10d Guard 1 computes FOREIGN from the two-endpoint diff git diff MAIN_SHA HEAD -- tasks/, which on ANY behind branch under fleet marker churn lists main-side advancement (33 false-positive paths on #1271, whose replayed commit set touched ZERO tasks/ paths); following the prescribed checkout+strip-commit there would stage main-advancement content into a new branch commit whose server-side replay CONFLICTS (the #1128 shape) — the strip would create the very conflict it exists to prevent.
Why it is a workflow gap: the guard's diff form conflates "branch carries foreign tasks/ changes in its replayed commits" (the real hazard) with "main advanced since the merge-base" (benign; rebase keeps main's version of untouched files).
Confidence (emitter): high
verified-at-filing: grep -n 'diff --name-only "$MAIN_SHA"' .claude/skills/issue/SKILL.md → 3 hits (lines 8673 prose, 8731 + 9840 code snippets), all two-endpoint form (2026-07-12).

Proposed change (candidate diff sketch — refine in planning)

- if ! git -C "$WT" -c core.quotePath=false diff --name-only "$MAIN_SHA" HEAD -- 'tasks/' \
+ if ! git -C "$WT" -c core.quotePath=false diff --name-only "$MAIN_SHA"...HEAD -- 'tasks/' \
    > /tmp/issue-<N>-guard1-tasks-diff.txt; then
  (three-dot: merge-base..HEAD = the replayed set; two-endpoint form retired)

Related context for the planner (prose follow-up from today's fleet, 5-of-5 first-merge failures in one miner batch): consider also reducing foreign-tasks/ accumulation at the SOURCE — re-pin the branch's tasks/ tree to origin/main at PR-open time — so the merge-time strip/certification pass is a no-op under churn. Same Step 10d surface; the plan review decides whether to bundle or defer.

Scope / surfaces

Primary target: .claude/skills/issue/SKILL.md (Step 10d Guard 1 — update BOTH code snippets at ~8731 and ~9840 plus the prose at ~8673)
Grep the workflow surface for the two-endpoint pattern before editing (grep -rn 'MAIN_SHA" HEAD' .claude/) and update every hit.

Constraints / invariants

Workflow-surface only — never experiment code, configs/, or tasks/.
scripts/workflow_lint.py --check-asks + default run pass.
This session runs under EPM_WORKFLOW_FIX_SESSION=1 and carries a workflow_fix_target: Provenance line — it MUST NOT auto-route any of its own subagents' workflow-fix candidates (recursion guard).
