Placement settled by catalog's own reading of upstream at the pinned commit
3fcbb9f: SS8:509-510 and SS12:773-775 both put `okf_version` in a bundle-root
`index.md` frontmatter block, and SS12 calls it the only place frontmatter is
permitted in an index. Catalog's spec says the opposite about the same file;
that divergence is theirs against upstream, and we conform to upstream.
The value never touches a profile. `OKF_V0_2.index.root_frontmatter` names the
key; the caller supplies the value through a new keyword-only
`root_frontmatter_values` mapping. That keeps V4/V-A5 intact - `okf_version`'s
value tracks the upstream Google version and belongs to catalog (E1), so a
constant here would claim a decision we do not own and would have to be chased
on every upstream release. In the fixture the value is fixture DATA
(`okf-version.txt`), not a literal in our source.
Ordering comes from the policy, not the caller's mapping: a dict preserves
insertion order, so two callers passing the same keys would otherwise emit
different bytes. A key the policy does not name is refused fail-fast, before
any disk mutation. Omitting the argument emits no block at all - SS12 is a MAY
and none of upstream's four reference bundles declares the key.
The block is written only when the index is CREATED, so a re-run into an
existing bundle stays byte-identical (A-E5).
Raw-byte assertions rather than parsed ones, on the committed fixture as well
as on fresh runs: catalog measured that a quoted value fails their shape regex
with exit 1 and that a BOM hides the marker while still exiting 0.
`yaml.safe_load` returns "0.2" either way and strips a BOM first, so a parsed
assertion masks exactly those two defects. Asserting the frozen fixture catches
what a self-comparison cannot - regenerating from a broken emitter moves both
sides together.
A-E6 is now placement-explicit (promised catalog in 99cf987), and separates the
two byte properties: BOM-free is a property of the file, unquoted is a property
of CATALOG'S GATE and not of OKF v0.2 - upstream's own SS12 example is quoted,
so their gate rejects the spec's canonical form.
README gains the upstream-version section it was missing; CLAUDE.md gains the
mechanism behind "no profile hard-codes an upstream version": a profile names a
key, a caller owns its value.
550 -> 559 tests. test_profile_threading's `OKF_V0_2.index is DEFAULT.index`
assertion is replaced rather than deleted: object identity was a proxy for "the
shipped profiles differ in no NAME-bearing field", which is what makes the
synthetic test profile necessary, so the guard now asserts that directly.
