chore: shared Claude Code cloud environment and branch-name guard - #3524
Conversation
Standardise Claude Code cloud sessions on the LightSpeed branching strategy. - .claude/cloud/setup.sh and environment.env: canonical copies of the shared cloud environment's setup script and variables (Node from .nvmrc, shellcheck, actionlint, git defaults, LS_BASE_BRANCH=develop). - session-start.sh: rename claude/* to a local placeholder without pushing, sync fresh sessions with develop, skip npm install when current, and inject the branching rules into Claude's context, overriding the platform's claude/* branch instruction. - enforce-branch-name.mjs: PreToolUse guard that blocks commits, pushes, branch creation and PRs on invalid, placeholder or protected branches, reusing lib/validate-branch-name.js. - docs/CLAUDE_CLOUD_ENVIRONMENT.md: setup and maintenance guide.

Verified on head 39ee039a8f. #3691 now carries it as gap 7, with the reproducing command, the
two controls and the reasoning for deferring it — that reading base means teaching the name
loop a field for a mutation the guard has never covered, and that a merge moves protected
history even though it does not create a branch.
Worth noting the deferral reasoning there is weaker than it first looked: "a merge writes to an
existing branch" is not the same as "a merge is harmless". Both of the other two transports are
refused for the same write, so the guard's intent is clear even if this pull request is not where
to close it.
The two fixes in 5e3de50707 also correct an error in my first attempt, which is worth recording
because it would have shipped: closing the branch: $b bypass by refusing every branch: $b also
refused a compliant commit through that spelling, which is a wrong refusal against SC-007 and
inconsistent with branchName: $b and name: $n, both of which are resolved rather than refused.
The value is now resolved from b[branchName]=... instead, and branch is only refused when it
is genuinely unreadable. Four of the new tests fail against the previous guard.

Brings in a3a064d (#3689), which is what made the Mergify "keep same-repository pull requests on develop current" rule fail. One text conflict and one silent one, and the silent one is the reason this merge needed resolving rather than accepting. FEEDBACK_RESPONSE.md conflicted on the opening paragraph: develop carried #3604's wording and this branch carries #3524's. The file is a single shared path that records one pull request at a time, so only one can be right here, and #3524's is — it describes this pull request, and #3604's is already committed on develop. A note recording where the other copy went is added, because the collision is a standing problem rather than a one-off. It is tracked in #3618 and this is the second time it has been hit. CHANGELOG.md was the silent one. Git auto-merged it and reported no conflict, keeping this branch's version and discarding the single line #3689 added to the Fixed list — so merging would have silently reverted another pull request's changelog entry. The entry is restored, verbatim and once, in the position develop put it. Worth recording that a clean auto-merge is not evidence of a clean merge here: the two changes were both additions to the same list, and only one could win without saying so. The other two files develop touched, spec.md and documentation.yml, are taken as they came. Neither interacts with anything on this branch: the `.github/workflows/**` exclusion the docs work depends on is intact, and the spec 018 numbering is unaffected. Nothing under .claude/, scripts/ or docs/ changed in this merge, so the guard is unaffected. Verified on the merged tree: 304 suites and 6611 tests pass, the two guard suites 317/317, eslint 0 errors on the three JavaScript files, shellcheck and bash -n clean, acorn parses the guard, semgrep 0 findings over 30 targets, and the ai-feedback validator passes on the resolved record.

field forms, including -fquery=... and -Fquery=..., and return them as field
pairs so existing GraphQL checks inspect the document. Add a regression test
confirming an attached -fquery createRef targeting main is refused.
Review comments at @docs/CLAUDE_CLOUD_ENVIRONMENT.md:
- Around line 255-263: Document the unhandled `mergeBranch` mutation as a sixth
GraphQL limitation in `docs/CLAUDE_CLOUD_ENVIRONMENT.md`, noting that the guard
does not recognize it or extract its `base` argument, so targeting `main` can
bypass the protected-branch check; reference #3691. Add the corresponding
seventh item to `FEEDBACK_RESPONSE.md`.

…short one
`fieldArgs` read a field flag in three of the four forms gh accepts. The
missing one was a short flag with its value attached, so
gh api graphql -fquery='mutation { createRef(input: {name: "refs/heads/main", ...}) ... }'
produced no field at all. With no field the method was inferred as GET, so
`checkGh` returned no problems and the call passed unchecked while gh sent
the request and created the branch. `-Fquery=` behaved the same way. The
same gap applied to every value: `-fn=refs/heads/main` supplied no variable.
One function is shared by six call sites — `apiFields`, `unreadableApiFields`,
the GraphQL document reader, the GraphQL variable reader, the variable-bearing
ref check and the write-detection helper — so every check that reads a field
had the hole, and fixing it once closes the class rather than one caller.
Forms checked against the installed gh rather than assumed. gh 2.102.0 accepts
`-fquery=`, `-Fquery=` and `-XPOST`, and rejects `--fieldquery=` with
`unknown flag`; `--field=query=` and `--raw-field=query=` are accepted. So a
long flag reads only the `=` and separated forms, a short flag also reads an
attached value, and `--fieldquery=` is deliberately not matched. An empty
attached value (`-fn=`) is still a value, and a value beginning with `-` is
still a value.
Three of the twenty carrier cases I enumerated were failing before this change
and all twenty pass now, including four that assert a compliant command is
still allowed — reading more argument forms must not become a wrong refusal,
which the project counts against itself.
Not fixed here, because they are not argument parsing: a repeated field is
first-wins where gh is last-wins, and a variable supplied only in an `--input`
body's `variables` map is refused rather than read. Both are recorded in #3691.
… it is `mergeBranch` writes to the branch named in its `base`, and `base` is not one of the keys the branch-name reader looks at, so a merge into a protected branch is neither refused nor reported. It was deferred to #3691 rather than fixed, and neither document said so: the limitations list named the five parser limits and the REST gap, and simply did not mention it. A reader checking what the guard does with GraphQL would not learn from those documents that one mutation is not handled at all. Both documents now record it, and both separate two things that were being conflated. Five are limits of how the document can be read — a variable the guard cannot resolve, a per-document rather than per-field check, the exact endpoint spelling, a value in an input body's variables map, and gh being last-wins where the guard reads the first. Two are writes the check does not reach at all: `mergeBranch`, and `POST git/refs` with its naming rules exempting `main`. A reader who counts the limits needs the count to be right, so the count and the split are both stated. Every claim checked against the current guard rather than asserted: mergeBranch(base: "main") ALLOWED POST repos/../git/refs ref=.../main ALLOWED createRef(name: "refs/heads/main") refused DELETE repos/../git/refs/heads/main refused The last two are the controls: they show the surrounding checks do work, so "not handled" describes mergeBranch and the REST POST rather than the guard failing generally. Stating it without them would have read as though the GraphQL check were broadly ineffective, which is the opposite of what it does. Tracked in #3691. markdownlint reports 0 issues on both files.

Fixed in Reproduction. The cause, and why it was wider than the report. pflag semantics checked against the installed gh (2.102.0), not assumed. Verified by running gh with an endpoint and reading whether it rejected the flag or attempted the request:
So a long flag reads the Result. I enumerated twenty carrier cases before touching anything. Three were failing and all twenty pass now:
The other seventeen were already correct and still are: No new wrong refusals (SC-007). Four of the new tests assert a compliant command is still allowed — a literal and a variable name, each attached to the flag. Reading more argument forms must not become a wrong refusal, and the project counts those against itself:
Five of the new tests fail against the previous guard and pass now. Guard suite 327 tests, full suite 304 suites and 6623 tests, eslint 0 errors, acorn parses the guard, semgrep 62 rules over 30 files with 0 findings.

Deferred, with nothing new added
The seven gaps stay in #3691 and are enumerated there with the same carrier table. Worth flagging
one: gap 4, a repeated field read first-wins where gh is last-wins, was re-measured this round and
is unchanged — -f query=<compliant> -f query=<creates main> is judged on the first and allowed.
Fixing it means last-wins everywhere, which also changes flagValue and inputArg for --input
and -X, so it is wider than one function. It is the one most likely to surface again.

Chore Pull Request
Linked issues
Refs #1592
Relates to #1592 (governance enforcement). No dedicated issue.
Refs #3691 — the residual gaps in the guard's GraphQL and REST branch-write
checks. They are documented as stated limits on this branch and are tracked
there for follow-up, because each needs a decision about whether the guard
should carry that check at all. This pull request does not fix them.
This pull request closes nothing. The

Claude Code cloud sessions start on a platform-generated
claude/*branch, and the platform prompt tells Claude to push there, so Claude keeps ignoringCLAUDE.mdand creates branch names that don't follow the strategy. No environment setting can change that branch, so this PR adds three layers of fixes, plus a shared cloud environment definition so the whole team starts from the same config.Changes
