topkoa c485f02211 ci: track the spec's HEAD — the app conforms to the living spec ... Design change, at the maintainer's direction: the gate now checks out feedpak-spec at HEAD instead of a pinned SHA. .feedpak-spec-ref, its 40-char validation step, and the pin-bump machinery are gone. Rationale: it is vital that the app conforms to the spec — the current spec, not a snapshot. The pin bought determinism at the cost of a maintenance loop (bump PRs, a PAT, weekly latency) and a window where the gate verified against a stale spec. Tracking HEAD makes the dev flow fully self-serve with zero upkeep: gated PR -> FEP -> spec merge -> re-run checks -> green. Nothing to bump. The trade-off is accepted with eyes open, and the docs state it: the normal FEP is additive and can only loosen the gate, so it cannot redden anyone's PR. Only a breaking spec change (rare, deliberate, MAJOR per the spec's compatibility policy) turns PRs red repo-wide — which is the correct org-wide signal that the app is out of conformance. The CI job logs the spec SHA each run verified against, so any red run is reproducible. Failure messages now also say why it matters beyond the one PR (also at the maintainer's direction): non-conformance that lands shows up as red CI on every teammate's PR until it is resolved, and only its author can clear it — the FEP route keeps everyone else unblocked. Tone softened throughout (the exceptions-file header now explains rather than shouts). Signed-off-by: topkoa <topkoa@gmail.com>		2026-07-13 01:07:12 -04:00
