Sanctioned lane for non-behavioral work — docs-only edits, dependency bumps, reverts. Type-scaled gates; no TDD demanded of prose.

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

# $ca-chore — non-behavioral change lane

The sanctioned path for work that has no behavioral surface to test-drive. Three types, each with
the gates that fit it — and nothing it doesn't need. Everything still exits through `commit-gate`
(classification `docs` / `chore` / `revert`) and lands via branch/PR.

## Types

**docs** — README, comments, CHANGELOG, `.codearbiter/` prose, typo fixes.
- Gates: secrets scan over the diff; diff review (no behavioral code change smuggled in);
  anti-slop copy pass on any user-facing doc in the change; `commit-gate`.
- **Anti-slop copy pass** — for any user-facing doc the change touches (repo-root community docs
  and `docs/**`; not codeArbiter's own framework bodies), load
  [includes/anti-slop-design/INDEX.md](../../includes/anti-slop-design/INDEX.md), then `core.md` and the
  `medium-documents` leaf (§7.A.1), and run the §3.A em-dash ban and the §3.B copy self-audit over
  the authored prose before `commit-gate`. The `H-13` PostToolUse reminder surfaces §3.A separator
  dashes as you write, so the pass is a confirmation, not a discovery.
- No `tdd` — prose has no failing test to write.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/ca-chore@sha256:fcdd71d467d5b3ff

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.43b1504, 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.
