Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking. - -**Goal:** Make `hil_report.md` a rendering of `hil_report.json` rather than a second, independently written artifact, so no run can produce a table whose contents are not in the JSON. - -**Architecture:** `hil_report.json` gains the two fields the markdown carries but the JSON does not (`scope`, and a `caveat` for text prepended after the fact). A single `render_report(doc) -> str` turns that document into the markdown, and every writer — the normal path, the pool-guard fallback, the no-boards exit, and `_abandon_exit` — goes through `write_report(report_dir, doc)`, which writes both files from the same dict. `_abandon_exit` stops doing a text-prepend on a file it did not write and instead sets `doc['caveat']`. - -**Tech Stack:** Python 3.13 stdlib only (`json`, `pathlib`); existing unit suites under `test/hil/test/` run with plain `unittest`. - -**Spec:** none — this is a follow-up split out of the `claude/hil-doc-audit` branch. The evidence it argues from is inline below. - -**Origin:** split out of PR #3836 (the HIL one-run rework + `.claude` instruction audit). Delete this file when its own PR lands. - -## Global Constraints - -- **No behaviour change to the containment paths' ordering or exit codes.** `_abandon_exit` runs while the interpreter is being torn down; its own comments record that anything raising between the pool's `finally` and `os._exit` hangs the process in multiprocessing's unbounded `join()` (reproduced at rc=124/25s with SIGTERM-ignoring workers). Serialisation added there must stay inside the existing `try`/`except` and must never raise past it. -- **The markdown stays the human artifact.** `.github/workflows/build.yml:487` uploads `hil_report.md`, `test/hil/hil_ci.sh:293` copies only it back, and `.claude/skills/hil/SKILL.md` tells the operator to paste that table verbatim. It becomes generated output, not a dropped file. -- **Banner outranks the scope note outranks the table.** Preserve the existing order (`hil_test.py:2153-2161`): the caveat is outermost because that is where `hil/SKILL.md` tells an agent to look. -- **`--accumulate` merges from the JSON** (`hil_test.py:2102-2115`), including carrying the prior banner forward. Adding fields must not break that merge for a sidecar written by an older version. -- Run `python3 -m unittest discover -s test/hil/test` (115 tests, ~78 s) before each commit; `pre-commit run --files <changed>` before pushing. - -## Why this is worth doing - -Four writers produce `hil_report.md`, and three of them write no JSON at all: - -| Writer | JSON? | Line | -|---|---|---| -| `accumulate_report` — the normal path | yes | `hil_test.py:2149`, `:2162` | -| `**HIL run selected no boards.**` | **no** | `hil_test.py:2317` | -| pool-guard fallback → `hil_health.write_timeout_report(...)` | **no** | `hil_test.py:2469`, `hil_health.py:346` | -| `_abandon_exit` — prepends to whatever `.md` exists | **no** | `hil_test.py:2603` | - -Those three are exactly the paths where the run died, so they are the cases where the artifact matters most and where a JSON consumer sees nothing. `test/hil/helper/hil_summary.py` (added on the origin branch) reads the JSON to build the per-board verdicts an agent hands back — on any of those three paths it finds no file and reports "no report row for this board" for the whole fleet, while a human reading the markdown sees the real story. - -Separately, `scope` exists only in the markdown (`hil_test.py:2154`, from `accumulate_report`'s `scope: str = ''` parameter at `:2092`).
