Twelve drift findings and four works-well findings, each citing file paths, line numbers, commit hashes or rows in analysis/data/. Every 'neckbeard mechanism' field names a concrete rule in neckbeard v0.1.1 or states explicitly that none exists.

# F-016: The repo names its own unresolved problems instead of presenting a clean face
|
|
|
|
category: works-well
|
|
confidence: high
|
|
|
|
evidence:
|
|
- Known problems written down *and* filed as issues, verified present in
|
|
`analysis/data/gitlab_issues.json`:
|
|
- `hosts/overmind.md:33-35` — "⚠️ `gameserver` … hat **keinen** Mirror … dort liegt auf
|
|
Gitea ein gleichnamiges Repo mit anderem Stand" -> management#32, open. **Verified
|
|
true by measurement**: git.lab `d5c6ccb2e9` vs Gitea `48441a500f`, diverged (F-007).
|
|
- `CLAUDE.md:63` — the gitops `wiki` branch is "ein überholter Mai-Abzug" -> management#19,
|
|
open. **Verified**: head `0ff598e`, 2026-05-14 (F-006).
|
|
- Mirror failure going unnoticed -> management#28 "MIRROR-01", open.
|
|
- Restore never rehearsed -> management#30, "Der Restore ist nie geprobt — Sicherungen
|
|
sind bisher eine Vermutung".
|
|
- `CLAUDE.md:143-147` — the timestamp rule "**schützt nur die Git-Historie**", with push
|
|
times, issue timestamps, pipelines and packages named as remaining exposure. Incomplete
|
|
(F-002) but volunteered.
|
|
- `CLAUDE.md:94-97` explains a rule by the damage its absence did, with numbers: 34 migrated
|
|
issues carried title prefixes, "davon **zwei mit einer anderen Aussage als ihr Label**",
|
|
and states the principle — "Zwei Wahrheiten über dieselbe Sache sind schlimmer als eine
|
|
unvollständige."
|
|
- `CLAUDE.md:149-158` ("Redlichkeit & gelebte Lehren") requires verified claims to be
|
|
separated from suspicion, states "Korrelation ≠ Kausalität — ein plausibler Verdacht ist
|
|
kein Befund", and closes with "Fehlschläge und übersprungene Schritte werden benannt,
|
|
nicht geglättet; „fertig" heißt verifiziert."
|
|
- `verfahren/retro/2026-08-09.md:70-71` records CI that was green while doing nothing
|
|
(`build_embedded` "lud **nie** ein Artefakt hoch") and a published npm package of 12.5 KB
|
|
instead of 12.8 MB — failures found and written down rather than quietly fixed.
|
|
|
|
impact: This is why the present analysis was possible at all. Most of the drift in this
|
|
report was found by taking the repo's own statements seriously and checking them; that only
|
|
works because the statements are specific, dated and falsifiable. A repo that wrote
|
|
"Mirrors are configured" instead of "seven repos, these six product ones plus management"
|
|
would have yielded no findings and no confidence either way.
|
|
|
|
root-cause pattern: **Specific, falsifiable claims are a feature.** Every finding in this
|
|
report is downstream of a claim precise enough to be wrong.
|
|
|
|
neckbeard mechanism: This is `AGENTS.md:50-55` almost verbatim — "Never claim something
|
|
works without evidence: a test run, command output, a rendered result. 'Should work' is not
|
|
a status" and "Uncertainty is reported, never swallowed. Flag your shakiest calls." It
|
|
recurs at `WORKFLOW.md:68` (Gate 3, "Shakiest calls: name the decisions you are least
|
|
confident about") and `WORKFLOW.md:113-114` (every session ends by answering which choices
|
|
it is least confident about). `WORKFLOW.md:137-139` completes it: "If the wiki has no
|
|
confident answer, say so. Never file a low-confidence synthesis back as knowledge."
|
|
The habit already exists here; neckbeard gives it fixed places to live rather than relying
|
|
on the author's temperament.
