Project-specific instructions loaded by tend workflows alongside AGENTS.md.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Running tend — leaf

## Landing

Tend uses `merge: yolo`. **Fix every failure in a red run** defines when a CI
repair can land without maintainer approval.

Changes to workflows, Tend's configuration, CODEOWNERS, or agent instructions
require the control-plane owner's fresh approval.

Merging squashes with `PR_TITLE` / `PR_BODY`, so the description becomes `main`'s
commit message; hold its claims to the standard the diff is held to.

## Fix every failure in a red run

Every failure in the run is the session's, including those earlier runs also hit;
a tracking issue records a failure but doesn't fix it. Open one pull request per
cause that no open pull request already covers. For each durable failure, look
for the pull request that introduced it, first among those merged since the last
run where the failing check passed and then earlier, since a failure that comes
and goes can pass after its cause landed. Establish the cause from the failing
diagnostic and the pull request's context, following **Reading a red suite**.
Where a pull request introduced it, explain which behavior its author intended
and why the repair changes the test or the behavior; link it from the fix's
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add max-sixty/tend/running-tend@sha256:b0dd909c75c131b1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.8e7e6dd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
