Five commits, one per unit, on

--no-cacheTo adopt the last one, a repo adds lint and test phases to its
Dockerfile, each invoking its tool directly rather than through make or
script/; gives the final stage aCOPY --from=of a harmless file fromeach; makes
script/lintandscript/testbuild their phase with--no-cache --target <phase>and a tag; and makesscript/cibuildrunscript/bootstrapbeforescript/check.What the diff does not show:

PATH.script/fmtandscript/fmt-checktherefore source nvm for thepinned node version before invoking yarn, as bootstrap's own install
step does; that, not the bootstrap call alone, is what makes a runner
with only docker and git work.

The policy text is accurate.Trim integrity. 1182 -> 907 with zero headings changed; top-level rule list is intact — one rule added, three rewritten in place, none orphaned or duplicated, no truncation at the splice. Every disclosure earlier reviews forced in survives: nested-
.claudemonorepo gap (REPO_POLICIES.md:557-567and.dockerignore), case-sensitivity asymmetry (569-581), warm-cache re-proof of theCOPY --from=lintordering (403-407),.gitexcluded soVERSIONcomes from the host (598-639), all fourCHECK_EPOCHelements (151-176), plus theGOCACHE/paired-controls conclusions and the version-enforcement principle. The interim VOID rule survives, narrowed.The previously blocking contradiction is resolved.

Cleanest fix: runconfig verifyinscript/lint's native branch, so both paths inherit it from the one authoritative entrypoint.REPO_POLICIES.md:126-130: the canonicalCHECK_EPOCHsnippet showsARG/guard/RUN make checkwithoutENV LINT_IN_CONTAINER=1— the one lineEXISTING_REPO_CHECKLIST.md:45calls the most commonly missed.

VERDICT: FAIL —
needs-rework.1. The owner ruling on #40 (sneak, 2026-08-10 16:20) is not implemented. It is the last owner word on that issue and post-dates this branch's unit 40 by fourteen minutes; the only replies on record are bot comments arguing against it. Three points are contradicted: a separate
Dockerfile.lintis added (repo root, canonically atprompts/REPO_POLICIES.md:277-294) where the ruling puts lint in the mainDockerfileas a phase reached by--target, with the same treatment for the test phase and an artificial dependency so the main build cannot run unless both pass;golangci-lint config verifyis kept (prompts/REPO_POLICIES.md:240-244,301-314) where the ruling says not to do the config check step; and the lint layer is cache-busted withCHECK_EPOCH(prompts/REPO_POLICIES.md:286-297,script/lint:26-32) where the ruling says to disable caching. Acceptable: unit 40 reworked to the ruling, or a written reversal from the owner recorded on the issue before merge.2.

None of those names appears anywhere in the corpus onmain, so a reader meets them only in an instruction to remove them. Acceptable: cut those passages — a rule that supersedes nothing readers were ever given should not ship.4. The canonical
script/lintbuilds untagged (script/lint:27-31, and the same form atprompts/REPO_POLICIES.md:247-252). Every lint run on every host and CI runner in the fleet leaves a dangling image behind permanently. Acceptable: tag the lint image so each build replaces the previous one.5. No caution that a lint stage which is not the last stage is never built. That defect, and the fact that the
CHECK_EPOCHguard cannot catch it becauseARGis stage-scoped, was recorded on #40 on 2026-08-10.prompts/REPO_POLICIES.md:298-300tells non-Go repos to reuse the pattern with no mention of it. Acceptable: require the lint stage to be last, or named with--target.6.

Acceptable: match the script.7. Verbosity, against both rulings posted on this PR on 2026-08-10. The six commit bodies run from 472 to 1314 words each. The five new
TODO.mdentries run 15 to 25 lines each, where every pre-existing entry is 2 to 5.prompts/REPO_POLICIES.mdgoes from 425 to 935 lines. Acceptable: a short paragraph per commit body,TODO.mdentries in the shape the file already uses, and each canonical rule stated once without its discovery narrative.Disclosures, one line each:

A pristine checkout has nonode_modules, so the run dies withCommand "prettier" not foundafter the containerised lint phase passes. Onmainthe entire check ran insidedocker build, so a runner needed nothing but docker; this branch moves formatting to the host and drops the image build that used to cover it, and no policy line or checklist item says a runner must bootstrap first. Every repo vendoring this shape inherits the same red pipeline. Acceptable:script/cibuildrunsscript/bootstrapbeforescript/check, or the formatting check becomes a Dockerfile phase like lint and test — and the canonical text states the requirement.2. The canonical rule contradicts the canonical script shipped in the same commit.

Acceptable: state the rule to match the scripts, naming the two image builds that reuse the gate phases just built, or add--no-cachetoscript/cibuildand keep the byte-identity claim true.3.
9c4edd6closes #26 with a change that7f4ef15removes on the same branch.9c4edd6adds--no-cachetoscript/cibuild; the last commit takes it back out. Its own body ("script/cibuild and script/docker now pass --no-cache") andTODO.md:49-53are therefore false at the head that lands onmain, and the PR body asserts the opposite outright — "no commit here delivers a fix that a later one removes". This is the same defect raised on this PR in the previous round against issue 30, recurring for a different issue. Acceptable: keep--no-cacheinscript/cibuild, or move(closes #26)onto the commit that delivers the surviving fix and correct the commit body, theTODO.mdentry and the PR body.Disclosures, one line each:
