Summary

  • Clarify in the English, German, Spanish, and French FAQ and glossary that updates preserve user-owned files in data/, reports/, and output/ while permitting creation or replacement of system-owned .gitkeep scaffolds there.
  • Keep the modes index wording unchanged and sync the English FAQ/Glossary structured data and translated-page hashes.

Checks

  • node scripts/faq-from-mdx.mjs --check
  • npm run types:check
  • npm run build
  • git diff --check

Reader-facing changes

The FAQ now clarifies that updates preserve user-owned files but may create or replace system-owned .gitkeep scaffolds in data/, reports/, and output/. Other files in those directories remain unchanged. This change appears in English, German, Spanish, and French FAQ pages and in the shared FAQ data: content/docs/faq.mdx, content/docs/faq.de.mdx, content/docs/faq.es.mdx, content/docs/faq.fr.mdx, and src/lib/faq-data.ts.

The Data Contract glossary entry makes the same clarification in those four languages and in the shared glossary data: content/docs/reference/glossary.mdx, content/docs/reference/glossary.de.mdx, content/docs/reference/glossary.es.mdx, content/docs/reference/glossary.fr.mdx, and src/lib/glossary-data.ts.

The PR does not change the modes index wording. It does not touch the agent-facing layer, routing, schema, or homepage visuals.

Validation

The PR description reports these checks: node scripts/faq-from-mdx.mjs --check, npm run types:check, npm run build, and git diff --check. No test results were independently verified.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

FAQ and glossary content now states that updates may create or replace system-owned .gitkeep files in data/, reports/, and output/. Other files in those directories remain unchanged.

Changes

Data update wording

Layer / File(s) Summary
FAQ and Data Contract wording
src/lib/faq-data.ts, src/lib/glossary-data.ts, content/docs/faq.mdx, content/docs/reference/glossary.mdx
The FAQ and Data Contract text distinguishes system-owned .gitkeep scaffolds from other files in the listed directories. The source FAQ wording is in src/lib/faq-data.ts:31; the English page wording is in content/docs/faq.mdx:44.
Translated wording and hashes
content/docs/faq.de.mdx, content/docs/faq.es.mdx, content/docs/faq.fr.mdx, content/docs/reference/glossary.de.mdx, content/docs/reference/glossary.es.mdx, content/docs/reference/glossary.fr.mdx
German, Spanish, and French pages state the same distinction and update their translation hashes. The translated FAQ wording appears at line 47, and the glossary wording appears at line 26.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Other

Suggested labels: documentation, bug


Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6e827

The FAQ now allows updates to replace system-owned .gitkeep scaffolds, while the homepage promises updates never touch the data layer. Align the public promise before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2e598

The change clarifies a narrowly scoped documentation exception for system-owned .gitkeep files while preserving the stated protection for other user files. It does not introduce executable behavior or broaden access to user data.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — The routed public-export changes do not themselves expand attacker-controlled reachability or bypass a control: they replace constant prose without adding inputs, handlers, write operations, or authority. This conclusion is limited to the changed exports, not a verification of the external updater.

Explanation

The description does not contain the required ## AI assistance or ## Human review sections. The available commit log names human commit authors, and the merge subject names docs/data-contract-scaffold-clarification, not a copilot/* branch. The review metadata does not identify the PR author or provide an authoritative head-branch name, so I cannot confirm whether the custom check applies.

Thanks @luochen211. I checked this against the core today and the wording matches DATA_CONTRACT.md and update-system.mjs on main: the .gitkeep scaffolds are system-owned, and everything else in data/, reports/ and output/ stays in the user layer. The earlier review comment asking to remove the exception was right when it was written and is out of date now that core #4741 has merged.

Holding the merge for two reasons:

  • Core #4741 merged on 5 October and the latest release is still 1.35.0, so released users do not have this behaviour yet.
  • This sentence is the project's Data Contract promise, and the same promise appears in its short form on the home page. I want to look at how the two read side by side before the FAQ changes.

One fix for the German pages in the meantime: "System-Updates erhalten nutzereigene Dateien" can be read as "receive" as easily as "preserve". Something like "lassen nutzereigene Dateien unangetastet" removes the doubt.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

State the .gitkeep exception on the homepage.

src/app/_home/home-en.tsx:215-216 still says updates “never touch your data layer.” This FAQ now permits replacing system-owned .gitkeep scaffolds in data/, reports/, and output/. The Data Contract identifies these as exceptions inside user-layer directories, so readers can reasonably understand the homepage’s absolute promise to cover those files too. Align the homepage with the user-owned-file guarantee.

Status update, no new commits needed on 6e82785:

  • German wording: done in 6e82785. Both German pages now say "System-Updates lassen nutzereigene Dateien unangetastet".
  • Review thread on faq-data.ts: resolved. The removal request predates core #4741, and CodeRabbit withdrew it.
  • Homepage alignment (CodeRabbit's outside-diff comment on home-en.tsx): not changed here on purpose. CONTRIBUTING puts homepage copy behind a maintainer decision, and you said you want to compare the two side by side yourself. If you'd like the short form to name the .gitkeep exception, I can do it in this PR or a separate one.
  • Branch: up to date with main.
  • Checks: the guard workflow passes. The only failure is Vercel, which reports "Authorization required to deploy". That happens because the head commit comes from a fork and a team member has to approve the preview deploy. It is not caused by this change. Locally, node scripts/faq-from-mdx.mjs --check, npm run types:check and npm run build all pass.
