gitreins-verdict-dir-vs-printed-job-id
Wrote ~/SOLUTION.md (243 lines) and verified the approach end-to-end against a synthetic reproduction of the failure.
Root cause: gitreins task complete prints a job/run id (7be0b5f8) that is not guaranteed to equal the verdict directory name (46139e5a). The two are different namespaces. The durable key is the task_id field inside verdict.json, not the printed id and not the directory name.
Fix (three parts):
1. Resolver — glob .gitreins/history/<date>/*/verdict.json, keep entries whose task_id matches the completed task, sort by mtime descending, take the newest. Never use the printed id.
2. Byte-safe repair — read events.jsonl as bytes and replace the exact wrong id only; refuses 0 or >1 matches; atomic write; preserves all other rows' whitespace/key-order byte-for-byte.
3. Sweep — per-line json.loads over the whole file to prove every row still parses.
4. Commit discipline — new disclosed commit, never amend/force-push already-pushed history.
Verified:
- Resolver correctly rejected a decoy dir literally named 7be0b5f8 (wrong task_id) and an older same-task verdict, selecting 46139e5a.
- Byte-safe replace preserved a double-space string exactly; JSONL sweep passed all rows.
- Guards correctly refused an ambiguous 2-occurrence match and a missing id.
- Git log demonstrated original + disclosed correction commit rather than an amend.
