Research direction

Read the opt-in summary verification call in #1078 and the PathMentions check in #1089, then trace how summary text is checked against diff content. Add coverage for invented prose artifacts such as “a settings page” while preserving descriptions of real changed files by role. Done means the #250 wording is removed or corrected, the config doc description remains, and the next corpus round is measured with #1078 enabled.

Description

bug

Background

Split from #1076. On round 17 the zig ThrillhouseBot-test#250 summary (6126003362) said the PR adds "two docs files (CONFIG-ZIG.md and a settings page)". Only CONFIG-ZIG.md exists; there is no settings page. #1089 checks path-shaped tokens against the change and the repository, but "a settings page" is not path-shaped, so no path rule can reach it.

Change required

Catch invented, non-path artifacts in summary prose (a page, screen, migration or endpoint described in words but absent from the change). This needs a check against the diff's content rather than a token rule, so it belongs with the opt-in summary verification call (#1078).

Constraints

  • Never drop a finding for this; only summary text.
  • No false cuts on prose that describes a changed file by its role ("the config doc").

Acceptance criteria

  • The zig #250 case ("a settings page" with no such file) is removed or corrected.
  • A sentence describing a real changed file by role is kept.
  • Measured on the next corpus round with #1078 enabled.
