Philippe Loulidi fbcc822c2a ref-check: make the suggested ref actually silence its citation
A scoped prompt names a directory by basename (`cert-manager`); the ref that pins
it is root-relative (`infrastructure/cert-manager/`). Coverage only compared the
token as written, so adding the exact ref the message suggested left the same
problem reported. Coverage now also accepts the path the token resolved to, in
plain and glob form.

Philippe Loulidi 9f57046c86 refs: check the review setup's own code citations on every run (#50)
* refs: check the review setup's own code citations on every run

Reviewer prompts cite real paths and symbols, and nothing kept those true. When
the code moves the prompt keeps citing it, so the reviewer reasons from a fiction
on every PR.

`ecr ref-check` makes each citation checkable: pin it with `@ref <target>`, where
a target is a file, a dir, a glob, a `file#symbol` or a `doc.md#heading`, never a
line number. A backticked token that looks like a repo path must be a ref, so the
citations nobody thought about are covered too; extensionless tokens count when
they name something real, which keeps model ids out. `ecr review`/`ecr ci` run the
same check and only advise, since a stale prompt is not a defect in the PR.

The engine's own `./ref-check` now shares the grammar (glob targets, `<placeholder>`
targets, fenced examples), and this repo's setup is annotated to pass both.

* refs: format config-refs with oxfmt

* refs: read the enforceAgents roster from the manifest's own setup dir

Under `ecr ci` the setup comes from a trusted base-ref checkout while the code
tree is the PR head, so building the roster from the code tree judged
enforceAgents against a different (or missing) agents/ dir. Found by ecr
reviewing this PR.

* refs: leave LLP targets to their own checker, and see uncommitted files

`LLP NNNN#anchor` is a design-corpus target owned by a different mechanism. ecr
now parses it correctly (it is one target containing a space, so the old parse
left a bare `LLP` that read as a broken path) and then skips it: not resolved,
not counted. So a scaffolded repo passes `ecr ref-check` on day one while the
templates keep their engine annotations.

Glob targets now list tracked AND untracked-not-ignored files, matching what a
plain path ref already saw via stat — a freshly scaffolded tree reported its own
workflows as matching nothing.

Also fixes the three template spots the checker caught on a fresh scaffold.

* ref-check: refuse a flag-shaped --root value

`--root --json` silently checked a nonexistent directory and reported "all
resolve" while swallowing --json. Matches the verify-config convention.

## Keeping prompts true (`ecr ref-check`)
Good reviewer prompts cite real code: "the only session entry point is
`server/src/session.ts`", "every webhook router must call `sanitizeSecrets`". Then the
code moves and the prompt keeps citing a path that no longer exists — the reviewer
reasons from a fiction, on every PR, with nothing to warn you.
`ecr ref-check` makes those citations checkable. Pin each one with a ref, in a comment
of its own (`<!-- … -->` in Markdown, `//` in JSONC):
```md
<!-- @ref server/src/session.ts#createSession — the only place a session is minted -->
<!-- @ref server/src/entities/oauth/ — every provider lives here -->
<!-- @ref glob:**/*WebhookRouter.ts — the routers this rule is about -->
```
A target is a file, a `dir/`, `glob:<pattern>`, `file#symbol`, or `doc.md#heading` —
never a line number, since a line number rots without any signal. Symbol anchors are
checked by whole-word match, so code moving inside its file is fine and a rename is not.
The check is strict on purpose: a backticked token in `.expo-code-review/` that looks
like a repo path **must** be a ref, because the stale citations are exactly the ones
nobody thought to annotate. A token with no extension (`eas-build-worker/terraform`,
`general-central/{module,production}`, `finops`) counts when it names something that
exists — so those get pinned too, while `anthropic/claude-opus-5`, shaped the same way,
stays prose. For a token that only looks like a path, say so once:
`<!-- @ref-ignore knex.raw() -->`. It also checks what your config already declares —
`enforceAgents` ids, scope `config` directories, scope path globs.
Refs are repo-root-relative, including in a scope's own setup dir. A scope prompt that
cites `general-central/module` for `infrastructure/general-central/module` gets told the
root-relative form to use.
Two run points:
- `ecr ref-check` exits 1 on any problem. Run it in CI or a pre-commit hook.
- `ecr review` / `ecr ci` run it too, and never fail a PR's checks with it. The comment
carries a **Review setup** note instead: refs that no longer resolve, plus cited code
*this PR* changes, where the ref still resolves but the guidance may not.

# LLP 0012: Review-Setup Ref Integrity
**Type:** Explainer
**Status:** Active
**Systems:** Engine, CLI
**Author:** Philippe Loulidi / Claude
**Date:** 2026-08-03
**Related:** [LLP 0006 Config Schema, Loading, and Routing](0006-config-schema-loading-routing.explainer.md), [LLP 0007 CLI Commands and CI](0007-cli-commands-and-ci.explainer.md), [LLP 0009 Adoption Templates and CI Workflows](0009-adoption-templates-and-ci-workflows.guide.md)
A repo's reviewer prompts are full of citations into its own code: "the only session
entry point is `server/www/src/utils/session.ts`", "every webhook router must call
`sanitizeSecretPatterns`". Those citations are load-bearing — they are how a prompt
carries repo knowledge the model does not have — and nothing kept them true. Code
moves, symbols get renamed, and the prompt keeps citing a path that no longer exists.
The reviewer then reasons from a fiction, silently, on every PR.
`ecr ref-check` (`src/commands/ref-check.ts`, over `src/core/config-refs.ts`) closes
that gap: every code citation in a `.expo-code-review/` setup must be a ref, and every
ref must resolve against the checkout. It is deterministic — no model, no network —
in the same family as `ecr verify-config` (see [LLP 0007][verify]).
Two measurements motivated the strict form. Swept against a real adopting monorepo
(universe) the check found 165 citations, none of them annotated or verified by
anything; swept against this repo's own setup it found 24 [observed]. Not one of those
citations was checked before this existed.
## The `@ref` Grammar
One grammar, reused from the engine's own LLP annotations, so an author learns it once:
@ref <target> [relation] — why it matters
In markdown it lives in an HTML comment, in JSONC after `//`. Targets:
| Target | Resolves when |
|---|---|
| `path/to/file.ts` | the file exists |
| `path/to/dir/` | the directory exists (trailing slash is required) |
| `path/to/file.ts#symbolName` | the file exists and still contains that whole word |
| `path/to/doc.md#heading` | the file exists and has that heading |
| `glob:**/Handler.kt` | at least one file in the repo matches |
| `https://…` | shape only, never fetched |
Refs are **always repo-root-relative**, including inside a scope's setup dir. A scope's
prompts describe the same tree the reviewer sees in the diff, so a second base
directory would only create ambiguity about which one a ref meant. Scoped prompts do
naturally cite their own subtree (`general-central/module` for
`infrastructure/general-central/module`), so that stays a broken ref — but the message
resolves it against the scope root and names the root-relative form to use.
`glob:` exists for readability. A Kotlin path 90 characters deep gets abbreviated in
prose (`.../config/MetricGroupCounter.kt`) and an abbreviation cannot be resolved, so
the check suggests the suffix glob `glob:**/config/MetricGroupCounter.kt` — short in the
prompt, still verified.
**Invariant:** a target is data, never a command. Resolution reads files inside the repo
root only, via the same `pathInside` confinement the verifier uses ([LLP 0005][verify5]);
absolute paths and `..` escapes are refused, not resolved.
## No Line Numbers, Symbol Anchors Instead
A ref may not pin a line. `src/auth.ts:42` is refused in an annotation *and* in prose,
because a line number is the one form of citation that rots without any signal: insert
a line above it and the ref still "resolves", now pointing at unrelated code. `#symbol`
is the robust alternative — it survives the code moving inside its file, and breaks
exactly when the thing cited is renamed or deleted, which is when a human should look.
For the same reason there is no content hash or pinned revision in the grammar. A digest
would trip on every edit to the cited file, including edits that leave the prompt
perfectly correct, and a check that cries wolf gets disabled. The drift signal lives on
the review side instead (below).
## Unannotated Citations Are Broken Refs
Checking only what an author annotated would make the mechanism decorative: the stale
citations are precisely the ones nobody thought about. So a backticked token in a setup
file that *looks like* a repo path and is not a ref fails the check.
That rule needs a precise notion of "looks like a path", because prompts also backtick
config keys, severities, commands and model ids. It comes in two tiers.
**Shape alone** (`isCodeCitation`): an allowlisted source extension, a trailing slash, or
a wildcard tail inside a path — and never whitespace, `:`, `<`, `(` or quotes. So
`session.ts`, `src/entities/oauth/` and `.github/workflows/**` are citations, while
`ecr ci`, `label:<agent>`, `knex.raw()`, `critical` and a bare `.ts` are prose. Fenced
code blocks are skipped whole: they are examples, not claims about the tree.
**Shape plus the filesystem** (`pathishCandidates`), for the citations shape cannot
settle. A reviewer of this feature named the case: a Terraform prompt citing
`eas-build-worker/terraform`, `general-central/{module,production}` and `finops`, with
"this is very likely going to drift" [observed] — not one of those has an extension, and
`anthropic/claude-opus-5` is shaped identically while naming no file. Syntax cannot tell
them apart, so an extensionless token counts as a citation exactly when it *names
something real*: probed against the repo root and the scope's own subtree, brace lists
and wildcards cut back to their fixed prefix. Model ids resolve to nothing and stay prose.
The consequence is deliberate: an extensionless path that had already drifted before
adoption is invisible (nothing distinguishes it from prose), while every one that is true
today gets pinned and will be caught the moment it moves. This mechanism prevents future
drift; it does not retroactively find old drift.
The escape hatch is explicit and per-token: `@ref-ignore knex.raw()` in a comment.
Anything the heuristic misclassifies is one short line away from silence, which is why
the rule can afford to be strict rather than advisory.
**Invariant:** the check never rewrites a prompt. It reports; a human decides whether the
ref or the prompt was wrong. A stale citation often means the *guidance* is stale, not
just the path.
## Structural Refs Need No Annotation
Some refs the config already declares, so they are checked without annotation:
`enforceAgents` ids must exist as `agents/<id>.md` in the ROOT setup (that is where the
loader resolves them, see [LLP 0006][routing]), every scope's `config` must point at a
real `.expo-code-review/` directory inside the repo, and every scope glob must match at
least one file — a scope whose paths match nothing ships prompts that review nothing.
## What Gets Scanned
Setup dirs are found by walking the tree, not by reading `routing.jsonc`: a scope dir the
manifest forgot still ships prompts, and its stale refs are exactly what this exists to
surface — the same reason `ecr verify-config` sweeps on disk instead of trusting the
manifest ([LLP 0007][verify]). Inside a setup dir the scan covers prompts and configs
(`.md`, `.json`, `.jsonc`, `.txt`) and skips dot entries, so `.runs/` artifacts are never
scanned. Dot directories elsewhere are skipped too, which keeps `.claude/worktrees/`
checkouts of the same repo from being swept as if they were scopes.
## Run Points: Command and Review
`ecr ref-check` exits 1 on any problem: that is the gate, for CI or a pre-commit hook.
The review path also runs it, and never fails a PR's checks with it — that invariant
holds ([LLP 0002][pipeline]). Instead the review *advises*: broken refs in the setup
become a note the reviewer comment carries, and `citedPathsTouchedBy` adds the drift
signal a static check cannot give — "this PR changes code your reviewer prompts cite, so
the guidance may need updating" — even when the ref still resolves. In CI the config
comes from the trusted base ref while refs resolve against the PR head tree, so a PR that
moves cited code is reported against the config that will actually review it.
## Two Checkers, One Grammar
The engine repo now has two ref checkers, and they scan overlapping files: `./ref-check`
(the LLP corpus validator, which walks the whole tree) and `ecr ref-check` (setup dirs
only). Running both surfaced two genuine conflicts, where one checker failed an
annotation the other accepted [observed]:
- `glob:` targets were unknown to `./ref-check`, which read them as a literal path and
reported "path not found".
- Documenting the syntax broke both: a usage line containing the comment form with a
`<target>` placeholder was collected as a real ref, and so were the README's fenced
examples — the docs that teach refs were the first thing the checkers rejected.
All of it is fixed in the grammar rather than per-checker: `glob:` is understood by both,
a target starting with `<` or a backtick is a documentation placeholder, and an annotation
inside a fenced code block is an example that neither checker resolves.
Ownership stays split by target kind, not by file: an `LLP NNNN` target belongs to the
design corpus and its own checker, so `ecr ref-check` neither resolves nor counts one —
it owns exactly the refs that cite the reviewed repo's code. That split is why the
templates can keep their engine annotations and still scaffold a repo that passes
`ecr ref-check` on day one (asserted in `init-scaffold.test.ts`). An earlier attempt had
`ecr init` strip those annotations while scaffolding; it mixed the two mechanisms and
broke the "workflow templates land byte-identical" invariant [observed]. Parsing is what
must be right: `LLP 0009#anchor` is one target containing a space, and taking the first
whitespace-separated token left a bare `LLP` that read as a broken path.
**Invariant:** the grammar is shared. A change to target kinds, the placeholder rule, or
the glob dialect must land in `./ref-check` and `src/core/config-refs.ts` together, or the
same annotation will pass one checker and fail the other.

Usage:
ecr ref-check [--root <dir>] [--json]
Sweeps every .expo-code-review/ directory in the repo (root and scopes) and checks
that each code citation still resolves against this checkout:
• \`@ref <target>\` annotations in prompts and configs. A target is a file, a
directory (trailing slash), \`glob:<pattern>\`, a \`file#symbol\`, or a
\`doc.md#heading\`. Never a line number — lines rot silently.
• Unannotated citations: a backticked token that looks like a repo path must be a
ref, so nothing cites code without being checked. Use \`@ref-ignore <token>\`
for a token that is not a path.
• Structural refs the config already declares: enforceAgents ids, scope config
directories, and scope path globs.
Exit 0 = every ref holds. Exit 1 = at least one is broken.
Options:
--root <dir> Repository root to check (default: the current git repo).
--json Emit {ok, problems:[{file, line, kind, problem}]} on stdout.
