Shallow, single-branch, partial and outdated clones all lack objects that exist upstream, and no local command separates that from an invented identifier: in a local test a valid upstream commit was missing from each of those three clone shapes, with no promisor remote configured. Both reference files now say so in the resolution steps, split the decision accordingly, and keep only identifier-visible defects on the reporter's side: shape failures, an abbreviation matching two or more objects, a name that exists as both a tag and a branch, and objects that are not commits. --- .../references/safe-local-git.md | 37 +++++++++++------- .../references/safe-local-git.md | 39 ++++++++++++------- 2 files changed, 47 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff --git a/plugins/hackenproof-fix-verifier/skills/hackenproof-fix-verifier/references/safe-local-git.md b/plugins/hackenproof-fix-verifier/skills/hackenproof-fix-verifier/references/safe-local-git.md index 0be369b..8c2a9a8 100644 --- a/plugins/hackenproof-fix-verifier/skills/hackenproof-fix-verifier/references/safe-local-git.md +++ b/plugins/hackenproof-fix-verifier/skills/hackenproof-fix-verifier/references/safe-local-git.md @@ -89,9 +89,12 @@ as a local verification failure.
