- Value guards now reject option-like values: --anything always, and
single-dash flag shapes (-h, -i). Previously -b --help consumed
--help as the body and performed the write (codex example:
issue-close -i --help proceeding to 'Closed GitHub issue #--help').
Multi-char dash-leading text (-start of a list) stays a legal value.
- Every remaining direct provider exec (gh/tea/CMD arrays across
issue-create/edit/assign/list/view, milestone-*, pr-create/edit,
pr-close, issue-close/reopen) wrapped with rc capture and normalized
to exit 1 with a stderr message — provider exit 2 no longer collides
with the reserved usage-error status.
- All 16 usage-contract suites gained option-like and short-flag arms
(16/16 green). Existing suites re-verified; test-pr-edit and
test-issue-create-interactive-auth fail identically with these
changes stashed (environment-coupled, not regressions; documented).
- issue-list + milestone-create: usage() default exit 2, value guards,
missing-title via usage_error.
- lane-brief: getopts replaced with a while/case parser carrying R2
long-flag aliases (--repo --milestone --label/--labels --login
--limit) beside the short forms; login-resolution failure reclassified
from exit 2 to exit 1 (credential class, not an invocation defect).
- Three suites enrolled (population 88); lane-brief pr-linkage suite
still ALL PASS; green in both trees; mirrored to the brain tree.
With this, every agent-facing wrapper in tools/git carries the R1/R4
usage-error contract (22/22 non-guard wrappers; guards keep their own
contracts).
