Kjell Tore Guttormsen 816ba97c63 feat(repo-standard): v0.1.0 - per-repo gate for the open/ standard
Five checks a single repository can answer on its own: README first
screen, install block, files required by its class, open/<name>
references, description length. Pure classifiers with I/O resolved into
their input, mirroring check-versions.mjs; ERROR/WARN/SKIP/OK, exit 1
on ERROR. 32 tests.

The reference check has THREE outcomes: "matches no repo" (ERROR) is
separate from "matches a known non-repo" (WARN). Sharing an outcome
would let real dead links hide inside correct text. Only names in URL
position count, and .git is normalised first - without that a raw scan
turns 3 dead names into ~20.

enabledPlugins is treated as a legitimate second install form; what the
gate requires in addition is a CLI command. The JSON form is never
reported as the defect.

STATE.md is gitignored from this first commit - public remote.
No hook yet: a blocking gate must first be precise enough not to fail a
correct repository.

0.1.0 — 2026-07-27

First release. Covers the checks that a single repository can answer on its own.

Added

  • The gate (scripts/repo-standard-check.mjs) — pure classifiers with all I/O resolved into their input, findings tagged ERROR/WARN/SKIP/OK, exit 1 on ERROR. Five checks: README first screen, install block, files required by the repo's class, open/<name> references, description length.
  • Taxonomy register (register/repos.json) — one central file mapping each repository to its class, plus the per-class file and install requirements. --refresh compares it against the live org listing.
  • Three-outcome reference check — "matches no repository" (ERROR) is a separate finding from "matches something that is deliberately not a repository" (WARN). Sharing an outcome would let real dead links hide among correct text. Only names in URL position are treated as references; the .git suffix is normalised first.
  • The skill (skills/repo-standard/) — the judgement the script cannot encode: what a description should say, why the summary card must never be used to verify one, what not to retrofit, and where the per-repo boundary is.
  • 32 tests over the pure classifiers, using the measured false positives as reference fixtures.

Notes

  • Descriptions are measured in codepoints — not bytes, and not UTF-16 units. The same string measures 248 / 249 / 253 across those three yardsticks when it contains an astral character.
  • enabledPlugins in settings.json is treated as a legitimate second install form. The gate requires a CLI command as well, and never reports the JSON form as the defect.
  • The org listing is read in one call, anonymously. Per-repo fetching trips the forge's rate limiter.
  • No hook ships in this release. A blocking gate has to be precise enough not to fail a correct repository first.
