Loading Ashlr Brief
The briefing
Pull requests added tests across Ashlr MD, Phantom, Ashlr Stack, ashlr-plugin, Phantom Secrets, Locus and Lexicon. The changes cover Markdown lint fixes, fleet trim and draft checks, template handling and installer scripts.
Ashlr MD pull requests added tests for autofix behavior on CRLF documents, undescribed images, invalid links, blockquotes, lists and trailing punctuation. The pull requests say the tests verify placeholder insertion, preservation of destinations and line endings, and clean re-linting.
Phantom pull requests added read-only fleet trim command, draft header validation in draft-check, failed commit handling in auto-update, and capacity meter wording changes. The pull requests say the updates read status files, validate repo declarations and adjust attention logic for idle lanes.
Ashlr Stack pull requests added tests for phantom-wire template handling of quoted provider names, repeated slots and unused values. The pull requests say the tests confirm exact preservation across renders.
ashlr-plugin pull requests added tests for search-replace regex on spaced literals, backslashes, escaped question marks, plus signs and dollar sequences. The pull requests say the tests drive dry-run and apply paths while keeping byte identity on look-alikes.
Phantom Secrets, Locus and Lexicon pull requests added tests for installer staging uniqueness, PATH updates under Unicode parents, SIGHUP cleanup in dogfood scripts, transcript bracket removal and schema limits on notes and code points.
