The no-attribution rule has been asked for twice — after #181 on 2026-09-10, and again today after it recurred across nine PRs in one session. It lived only in a per-user memory file, which the harness's own attribution reminder can talk over. CLAUDE.md is the file that reminder explicitly defers to, and it lives in the repo rather than in one machine's profile.

Also records what this release taught about testing: three defects shipped in 0.6.0's window with passing tests that exercised a helper rather than the path the product takes — deny-unattributable-builds as a hardcoded no-op, the prune age guard applied only to a log line, and the tray advertising a shipped feature as unreleased. So the rule is: write the test, revert the fix, watch it fail.

evidence a feature works. Three defects shipped in 0.6.0's window with
passing tests that exercised a helper instead of the path the product
takes -- a security rule that was a hardcoded no-op, an age guard
applied only to a log line, and a tray item advertising a shipped
feature as unreleased. So: write the test, revert the fix, watch it
fail.

Wrong home — this belongs in the user's profile so every Claude session honours it, not just work in this repo.
