Use before `git pull` where `pull.rebase` may be `true`. `--no-ff` does NOT stop a rebase under `pull.rebase=true` (silently ignored); it rewrites every local commit SHA. Check config first.

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

# pull-rebase

This card ships three parts: an explanation of the trap, prevention-by-recipe for adopter-owned enforcement, and the recovery runbook below. It deliberately ships no executable hook. Enforcement that must fire belongs in the adopter's environment; the card remains the model-invocable reference.

## The trap

`git pull --no-ff` does **not** override `pull.rebase=true`. The `--no-ff` flag applies to *merge* operations; when the effective pull strategy is rebase, `--no-ff` is silently ignored and the rebase proceeds anyway.

When local has diverged from origin (e.g., 22 local commits + N remote commits), this rewrites every local commit with a new SHA. Any artifact that referenced the old SHAs — state files, gate-event ledgers, retrospection logs, release notes — is now stale and must be backfilled.

## When this fires

Any of these conditions:

- `git config pull.rebase` returns `true` (globally or per-repo)
- `git config branch.<current>.rebase` is `true`
- A `[pull] rebase = true` block exists in `.git/config` or `~/.gitconfig`
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mrbinnacle/skill-harness/pull-rebase@sha256:209f54bb7bcdc7f0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.0bcb9bd, 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.
