ASCS-eV/PufferDrive is consumed as a git submodule internally while feeding
features back to Emerge-Lab/PufferDrive. This commit carries everything that
exists only in the fork, and is the single place fork-only content lives.
Branch model:
3.0 verbatim, fast-forward-only mirror of upstream/3.0
integration/3.0 default branch; this commit plus a linear stack of
single-commit features; what internal consumers pin
feature/<slug> one feature, exactly one commit
mirror/<slug> cherry-picked onto pure upstream/3.0 for upstream PRs
integration/3.0 is the default branch because GitHub reads the PR template,
the contributing guidelines, the agent instructions and scheduled workflows
only from the default branch, and none of those files may exist on 3.0
without destroying the mirror. A clone checks out the default branch, so the
copy of the instructions here is the process as far as every agent and every
submodule consumer is concerned; a rule that lives only in an open PR has no
effect.
Nothing reaches integration/3.0 until three gates pass:
1. CI green on the final commit.
2. Adversarial review by someone other than the author, with the findings
written down -- including the probes that found nothing.
3. Upstream-readiness proven rather than asserted: the commit cherry-picks
onto a branch cut from pure upstream/3.0 and produces an upstream-clean
diff. We stack only commits we could contribute today.
chore(fork): commits are exempt from gate 3, since fork-only infrastructure
can never be upstream-ready. They carry two orthogonal markers: do-not-mirror
(must never reach upstream) and do-not-merge (the merge button is never
pressed -- merging would create a second chore(fork): commit and break the
single-commit invariant that every sync asserts). Such a PR is folded into
this commit by fixup and closed unmerged.
Contents:
- .github/copilot-instructions.md: normative process for coding agents
- CONTRIBUTING.md: human orientation, same rules
- .github/pull_request_template.md: testing and stack-hygiene gates
- .github/workflows/sync-mirror.yml: fast-forward-only mirror sync that
refuses any non-fast-forward instead of rewriting the upstream base
- AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md: fenced pointer so agents find the fork process
without colliding with upstream-owned content
- ci.yml / install.yml: run CI for PRs targeting integration/3.0, which
upstream's branch filters would otherwise skip
A standing draft PR from integration/3.0 into 3.0 gives a continuous CI
verdict on the combined stack; it must never be merged.
Everything here is fork-only and must never be cherry-picked upstream.

What
fork-only/3.0is a published copy of the singlechore(fork):commit that sits at the base ofthe
integration/3.0stack. This PR exists so that its Files changed tab shows exactly thecontent this fork adds and never sends upstream — the process rules, the contributing guide, the PR
template, and the fork-only workflows — with no feature commits mixed in.
Why
The other standing draft PR (#1) shows the whole stack against the mirror, so fork-only content and
features are interleaved there. This one answers the narrower question on its own.
The branch is a view, not storage: the authoritative copy of this content is the base commit on
integration/3.0, which is the default branch and therefore what agents, CI and the internalsubmodule pin actually read.
Notes
in the same atomic push that moves
integration/3.0.GITHUB_TOKENfrom pushing any commit thattouches
.github/workflows/, and the fork base is almost entirely workflow files..github/workflows/fork-only-view.ymlis a read-only detector: it fails if this branch ismissing or stale, prints the exact repair command, and checks that this PR keeps its contract
(base
3.0, draft,do-not-merge).do-not-mergealone. Both labels together mean a PR is actively rewriting theprocess (section 4.1); this one is a permanent fixture, not a change.
