  • uphold scan enumerates with git ls-files -z and drops every gitlink, so a superproject's rule sees none of its mounts; ADR 0012 (Proposed) records a per-rule files.reach, "repository" by default and "pinned" to enumerate with --recurse-submodules.
  • A pinned mount that is not checked out is exit 2, as uphold supply-chain already treats one; check-attr runs per member through run_elsewhere.
  • Findings and path/size baselines carry the mount-prefixed path; include/exclude/glob keep gitignore semantics rooted at the superproject.
  • The direction rule is stated once: a member never borrows upward; a repository may judge downward the content it pins, reported under the mount path.
  • Rejected: member-side [inherit] paths into ../ (the upward borrow; its missing containment check is filed as [inherit] paths loads a file outside the repository, the upward borrow the engine refuses everywhere else #282) and a workspace-level membership check.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a proposed decision describing how file reach settings would affect scanning of checked-out submodules. It covers default behavior, scanning content in pinned mounts, handling unavailable working trees, and how findings, baselines, links, and ignore rules would work. The proposal also documents limits on inheritance and outlines compatibility, CI, and testing considerations.

…2 (Proposed)

uphold scan lists files with git ls-files -z and drops every gitlink, so a
superproject's rule sees none of its mounts. The record proposes a per-rule
files.reach, "repository" by default and "pinned" to enumerate with
--recurse-submodules: an uninitialized mount is exit 2 as in supply-chain,
check-attr runs per member, findings and baselines carry the mount-prefixed
path, and include/exclude stay rooted at the superproject. It states the
direction rule: a member never borrows upward, and a repository may judge
downward the content it pins. Member-side [inherit] paths into ../ and a
workspace-level membership check are rejected, with the reasons.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The proposed ADR defines a files.reach setting for repository content and pinned submodules. It describes scan behavior, missing-worktree errors, path handling, policy boundaries, rejected alternatives, and proposed consequences.

The proposed ADR defines repository-default and pinned reach. It specifies submodule enumeration, handling of missing worktrees, finding and baseline paths, attribute queries, Markdown links, glob semantics, policy boundaries, rejected alternatives, and proposed consequences.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9d3fb

The proposal is mergeable with a small documentation correction: the inactive checked-out mount test should expect a finding, not a missing-worktree error.

list gitlinks independently of Git’s active-submodule filter, check each mount’s
checkout state, and inspect each checked-out member explicitly. Ensure an
uninitialized mount still triggers the required exit-2 error, including when its

… member, not through --recurse-submodules, which follows Git's active-submodule filter and would pass over an inactive mount

A mount marked submodule.<name>.active = false is skipped by
git ls-files --recurse-submodules even when its working tree is present,
so a pinned rule enumerated that way could claim content it never read.
The pin in the root index is the claim; the enumeration reads the pins
(mode 160000 entries) and runs git ls-files inside each member through
run_elsewhere, as supply-chain does. An absent working tree is exit 2
whether uninitialised or inactive. The test list gains the inactive case.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the inactive checked-out mount expectation.

The Decision requires direct queries for every indexed gitlink, including mounts with submodule.<name>.active = false. Therefore, a readable inactive mount must produce the mount-prefixed canary finding. Exit 2 applies when the mount is absent, not when it is checked out and readable.

Suggested fix
-  canary submodule, asserting the finding's mount-prefixed path, exit 2 on an
-  uninitialized mount, and exit 2 on a checked-out mount whose

Update the CLI test expectation in the ADR so a checked-out, readable mount with
