Summary

Closes #518.

The crow:merge auto-merge gate (docs/automation.md, IssueTracker.crowSessionTrailerPattern) requires at least one commit on the PR to carry a Crow-Session: <uuid> trailer matching a known session. setup.sh writes .claude/settings.local.json with attribution.commit so Claude Code's built-in commit flow lands the trailer — but hand-rolled git commit -m "…" / heredoc commits bypass it and produce trailerless commits.

RadiusMethod/corveil#1442 is the live proof: session 4CF06A61-… was active, settings.local.json was correct, and commit 0780a100 shipped with no Crow-Session: line, so the gate refused auto-merge.

This PR closes the bypass.

What changes

• skills/crow-workspace/setup.sh and Resources/crow-workspace-setup.sh.template (mirrored, byte-identical) gain install_commit_hook + remove_commit_hook. main() calls install_commit_hook after write_settings_local. The function:

  1. Gates on the existing is_attribution_trailers_enabled helper — same opt-out (attributionTrailers: false) as settings.local.json.
  2. Enables extensions.worktreeConfig on the main repo (idempotent).
  3. Sets per-worktree core.hooksPath to this worktree's gitdir/hooks (computed off git rev-parse --git-dir, NOT --git-path hooks — the latter falls back to $GIT_COMMON_DIR/hooks which would pollute every sibling worktree).
  4. Writes the session id to a CROW_SESSION_ID file under the per-worktree gitdir (resolved via git rev-parse --git-path CROW_SESSION_ID).
  5. Installs a prepare-commit-msg hook into that hooks dir.

  Opt-out (remove_commit_hook) deletes both the hook and the CROW_SESSION_ID file so a flip from on→off cleans up the install.

• The hook script itself is a single canonical heredoc. It:

  • No-ops on $2 == merge / squash (merge/squash messages get crafted server-side).
  • No-ops when the message body has no non-comment content (grep -vE '^[[:space:]]*#').
  • Reads the session id from git rev-parse --git-path CROW_SESSION_ID. Missing/empty → no-op.
  • Skips Crow-Session: when any Crow-Session: line already exists — preserves a user-typed trailer even with a different UUID.
  • Skips Co-Authored-By: Claude when present.
  • Applies remaining additions in a single git interpret-trailers --in-place call so the resulting block is blank-line-separated, line-anchored, and parses cleanly against ^Crow-Session:\s*([0-9A-Fa-f-]{36})\s*$ with .anchorsMatchLines.
  • Never blocks a commit (set -u, no -e, exit 0 on every path).

• Worker-prompt guidance mirrored across live + bundled template:

  • skills/crow-workspace/SKILL.md and Resources/crow-workspace-SKILL.md.template — the existing ### Commit Attribution Trailers section now explicitly tells the worker to include both trailers when authoring commits by hand and calls out the hook as the safety net.
  • skills/crow-attribution/FOOTER.md, Resources/crow-attribution-FOOTER.md.template, and CrowAttribution.sharedFooterInstructions (Swift constant) gain a "Committed" row matching the existing Created / Reviewed rows.

Per-worktree scoping

Default git shares .git/hooks/ across all worktrees of a repo, so a naïve install would pollute every sibling worktree (different worktrees may belong to different sessions, or none). The combined fix:

Worktree-isolation is verified by Tests G + G2 in the shell harness AND by the manual #1442 repro below (the crow-518 worktree itself stayed hook-free while corveil-1441 received and used the hook).

Tests

Shell harness — skills/crow-workspace/setup_hook_test.sh, 27 cases mapped to the ticket's acceptance criteria:

bash skills/crow-workspace/setup_hook_test.sh → 27 passed, 0 failed. Gateway tests unchanged (17 passed).

Swift snapshots — 4 new tests in Tests/CrowTests/AttributionSkillTests.swift:

• workspaceSetupAndTemplateHookBlocksAreByteIdentical — guards the install_commit_hook / remove_commit_hook block byte-for-byte between live setup.sh and the bundled template; partial copy = silent loss of fix in new scaffolds.
• liveWorkspaceSkillTeachesTrailerRequirement — live SKILL.md mentions both trailer strings and the hook name.
• bundledWorkspaceTemplateTeachesTrailerRequirement — same against the bundled template.
• attributionFooterContainsCommittedRow — FOOTER carries the new Committed row.

arch -arm64 swift test --arch arm64 → 230 passed across 25 suites. (Existing liveAttributionFooterAndBundledTemplateAreByteIdentical and liveAttributionFooterMatchesSwiftConstant continue to pass — all three FOOTER surfaces gained the same Committed row.)

Manual #1442 repro

In the sibling worktree at /Users/danny/Projects/devroot/rm/corveil-1441-root-redirect-ui — the very target of #1442:

1. Sourced this PR's install_commit_hook, ran it with SESSION_ID=4CF06A61-C504-4A95-8C44-8C8246B0F703, the exact id called out in the ticket.

2. Verified install: hook at .git/worktrees/corveil-1441-root-redirect-ui/hooks/prepare-commit-msg, CROW_SESSION_ID file alongside, core.hooksPath set per-worktree, extensions.worktreeConfig=true on the main corveil repo.

3. git commit --allow-empty -m "CROW-518 smoke: …" → resulting log message:

   CROW-518 smoke: confirm trailer from prepare-commit-msg hook
   
   Crow-Session: 4CF06A61-C504-4A95-8C44-8C8246B0F703
   Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
   

4. git commit --amend --allow-empty --no-edit → message stays byte-identical (1 Crow-Session: line, 1 Co-Authored-By: line).

5. Confirmed the crow-518 worktree itself (sibling worktree of a DIFFERENT repo) had no hook installed → isolation works across repos.

6. Reverted: git reset --hard HEAD~1 (HEAD back at 0780a100), rm -f the hook + CROW_SESSION_ID. The corveil-1441 worktree is left exactly as we found it.

Test plan

• bash skills/crow-workspace/setup_hook_test.sh — 27/27 pass.
• bash skills/crow-workspace/setup_gateway_test.sh — 17/17 pass (no regressions).
• arch -arm64 swift test --arch arm64 — 230 tests across 25 suites pass.
• Manual #1442 repro on the corveil-1441 sibling worktree (trailers land, idempotent, sibling worktrees unaffected, reverted cleanly).
