In `@openspec/changes/project-scoped-store-discovery/design.md`:
- Line 55: Use a single resolved project root for both registry discovery and
project-scoped store writes; do not derive projectRoot directly from
process.cwd(). Thread that root, or one shared startPath, through the store CLI
flow and all project-scoped operations while preserving the existing
findRepoPlanningRootSync nearest-root behavior.
- Line 67: Define the no-`--store` behavior for project-registry discovery when
no nearest `openspec/` root exists: specify whether selection requires an
explicit store ID, uses a declared default, or only provides a hint without
selecting a store. Apply the chosen rule consistently in D5 before
`defaultStore`, the requirements, and the associated tests.
In
`@openspec/changes/project-scoped-store-discovery/specs/store-discovery/spec.md`:
- Around line 49-50: Correct the relative-path example in the store discovery
specification: since registry.yaml is inside .openspec-store, make path: specs
resolve to /project/.openspec-store/specs, or use path: ../specs if the expected
store root remains /project/specs. Keep the documented path-resolution rule
consistent with the example.
- Around line 77-78: Update RootSelectionDiagnostic and resolveRootForCommand so
malformed or unsupported project registries produce recoverable diagnostics,
while resolving the requested store from the global registry when possible.
Specify human-mode warnings and successful fallback exit status, and make JSON
output include both the diagnostic and the selected global root with source:
'store'. Add coverage for invalid YAML and unsupported versions in human and
JSON modes, including fallback and exit-status assertions.

Use one resolved project root for discovery and project-scoped writes.
store ... --scope project is planned to set projectRoot: process.cwd(). From a project subdirectory, this writes .openspec-store/registry.yaml under that subdirectory. Because discovery uses nearest-wins semantics, the new registry can shadow the ancestor project's registry.
The existing root-selection contract supports startPath, but the planned store CLI flow does not use it. Thread the resolved project root, or one shared startPath, through discovery and all project-scoped store operations. Do not derive projectRoot directly from process.cwd().

Define the unnamed project-registry selection rule.
When no --store <id> is supplied and no nearest openspec/ root exists, D5 inserts “Project-scoped registry discovery (any store)” before defaultStore. A registry can contain multiple entries, but the proposal defines only ID-based lookup. The project registry format has no default field, and the existing registered-store hint only lists IDs and asks the user to pass --store.
Specify whether this branch requires an explicit selector, uses a declared default, or only contributes a hint. Add the same rule to the requirements and tests.

Correct the relative-path example.
The registry file is .openspec-store/registry.yaml, so its containing directory is /project/.openspec-store/. Under the stated rule, path: specs resolves to /project/.openspec-store/specs, not /project/specs. Use path: ../specs for the expected result, or change the contract to resolve paths relative to the project root.

Define recoverable project-registry diagnostics.
RootSelectionDiagnostic currently permits only severity: 'error'. resolveRootForCommand treats a RootSelectionError as failed resolution: JSON output receives status, the process exits with code 1, and no root is returned. That path cannot also resolve the requested store from the global registry.
Define malformed and unsupported project registries as recoverable diagnostics. Specify the human-mode warning, the exit status when global fallback succeeds, and the JSON shape containing both the diagnostic and the selected global root (source: 'store'). Add tests for invalid YAML and unsupported versions in human and JSON modes, including fallback and exit status.

What
Adds an OpenSpec change proposal for project-scoped store registry discovery (issue #1950).
Why
OpenSpec stores (beta) use a machine-level registry. After cloning a repo that references a store, every developer must manually run
openspec store register <path>. A second checkout of the same store on the same machine cannot be registered under the same ID. This makes stores impractical for meta-repositories, side-by-side clones, and any workflow where store bindings should travel with the repository.What's in this PR
