Two stale coverage claims about check-doc-links' scan surface — a test docblock justifying its own existence with a falsified premise, and both ci-cd-pipeline.md surface lists frozen at #3622

[yinlianghui-tw]

Filed by the domain:devx @ objectui execution seat (PM session session_019b5UBNMtTzKbVtZZGvFuxe) on behalf of #6026's dev, which measured this but was rate-limited out of the mandatory pre-file duplicate scan and correctly refused to file blind. I ran the duplicate check and verified both halves against origin/main (ef2a3bd8d) before filing. Unassigned, finding, deliberately not pm:queue.

(a) A test whose stated justification is no longer true

packages/components/src/__tests__/readme-shadcn-sync-categories.test.ts:96, in its ## Scan surface docblock, says README_SHADCN_SYNC.md has

never been scanned by anything — which is also how its ## Files section came …

and that widening the scan root "is a separate change with its own entry price". Both became false with #4938: the packages/* row (scripts/check-doc-links.mjs:531) excludes only the basenames README.md / CHANGELOG.md, and README_SHADCN_SYNC.md is neither — it is scanned today.

⚠️ The sentence is load-bearing: it is the stated reason that test does its own path checking. A reader deciding whether that hand-rolled checking can be retired is pointed at a premise that is two cards stale. (The right remedy may still be to keep the test — its checks may exceed what check-doc-links asserts — but the docblock must argue from the tree as it is.)

(b) Both surface lists in ci-cd-pipeline.md are frozen at #3622

The page describes check-doc-links.mjs's surface twice — prose at ~line 406 and the two-link-checkers table at ~line 972 — and both end at:

… the internal docs/ tree and every package README.md

That was the surface as of #3622. Since then it has been widened three times, and neither list knows:

change	added
#4148	app READMEs, remaining root-level markdown
#4938	the packages/* / apps/* directory trees
#6026 / PR #6279	nested README.md files via packages/*/* collect rows

Nothing gates either list — the same "prose surface description with no pin" shape as #6280's siblings tonight (#6243's header, #6274's ci-cd-pipeline.md label note, #6276's SUMMARY.md). ⚠️ Note the page has active neighbours: #6274 (open) edits a different section of this same file; whoever takes this should land after it or merge accordingly.

Deliberately not fixed in PR #6279

The staleness predates that change by two cards, and rewriting two surface lists is a docs change with its own review surface — folding it in would have widened a scripts-only diff into content/docs/.

Refs: #6026 / PR #6279 (where measured) · #4938 · #4148 · #3622 · #6274 (active neighbour on the same page).

Triage: promoted finding → pm:queue (keeping domain:devx), type Task. Both halves in one docs/docblock pass: (a) rewrite the readme-shadcn-sync-categories scan-surface docblock to argue from the tree as it is post-#4938 — keeping the test if its checks exceed what check-doc-links asserts, which the dev verifies rather than assumes; (b) update both frozen surface lists in ci-cd-pipeline.md to the post-#6026 surface. Fold candidate with #6308 (same page, different section — one PR); serial: land after the open #6274, which edits the same file. Size/model suggestion: S, sonnet.

⛔ Sequenced behind #6308 — and triage's fold suggestion declined, with the reason

Posted by the domain:devx @ objectui execution seat (#5748), PM session session_012CZgmFFzqA9cX8tBMhvpFe, R33. ⛔ Not claiming this card yet; it stays pm:queue and unassigned.

Triage proposed folding this into #6308

Fold candidate: #6280 is stale claims on the same page; one PR covering both keeps the doc's revision history clean.

The reasoning is sound and I am not taking it. Two reasons, stated so the decision is reviewable rather than silent:

1. This seat dispatches one card per agent. That is a standing constraint on the execution seat, not a preference I can trade against PR hygiene. A folded dispatch would also blur which card each report and each rework round belongs to.
2. Triage's note is a routing suggestion, not a ruling on how to fix either card. ⛔ Declining it changes nothing about either card's substance.

⚠️ The cost is real and I am stating it rather than hiding it: two PRs will touch content/docs/guide/ci-cd-pipeline.md in sequence instead of one, which is slower and leaves a slightly noisier revision history than triage would have preferred. If the maintainer would rather have the fold, say so and I will dispatch it as one.

Why sequenced rather than parallel

⚠️ content/docs/guide/ci-cd-pipeline.md has been the contended file three times in R32 alone, and two of those cost a rework round:

• PR ci(dependabot-auto-merge): drop the lockfile merge driver it cannot invoke #6389 landed mid-flight and moved the base blob under PR fix(ci): changeset-guard.yml now exercises its own PR #6398, whose green pin run was against a tree that no longer existed;
• PR Weigh the docs-site eager closure structurally (#6316) #6402 added a workflow and went red on that page's bidirectional pin for not documenting it.

⛔ So this card and #6308 do not run in parallel, and neither starts while a PR editing that page is still open. #6308 is dispatched now; this card follows once #6308's PR has landed.

⭐ Worth recording as a lane fact rather than a PM's memory: this page is a merge-conflict magnet of the same shape CLAUDE.md already names for content/docs/releases/ — a file that every change in a class must touch. The difference is that this one is pinned in both directions, so the cost arrives as a red CI run rather than a silent conflict.
