.squad/decisions/inbox/into.squad/decisions.mdand cleared the corresponding inbox files. - Summarized several large agent
history.mdfiles into condensed “Historical Learnings Summary” sections. - Appended cross-agent “team update” notes for recent CI gating changes (Issue #1556 / PR #1557 context).

| 📌 **Team update (2026-07-29T17:11:56+10:00 — Issue #1556 / PR #1557):** A changeset `.changeset/fix-workflow-shellcheck-quoting.md` (patch, squad-cli + squad-sdk) landed in PR #1557. The `changelog-gate` CI check will now also enforce linting of workflow templates via the new `squad-workflow-lint` job. For future releases, be aware that PRs touching `.squad-templates/workflows/`, `templates/workflows/`, or either package's `templates/workflows/` will be gated by actionlint + shellcheck. The new lint job is a required check — releases cannot proceed if it fails. |

…git scanner The unsafe-git check in security-review.mjs scanned ALL changed files with no file-type filter. When Scribe merged .squad/decisions/inbox/ into decisions.md, the historical entry documenting the prohibition on git add . became new diff lines — and the scanner flagged the very rule it was documenting. Root cause: .squad/decisions/inbox/ is gitignored, so inbox entries never appeared in PR diffs. Once merged into decisions.md, those lines surface as +lines in any PR that touches decisions.md. Fix: add UNSAFE_GIT_EXCLUDED_PATHS to skip append-only memory/log files. Original exclusion regex used `[^/]+` (exactly one path segment), which failed to match nested alumni paths such as: .squad/agents/_alumni/kobayashi/history.md The `_alumni/` subdirectory is the documented layout for retired agents (see "Removing Team Members" flow), so this was a real false-positive, not a hypothetical one. PR github#1558 touches that exact path. Corrected regex: `/^\.squad\/agents\/.+\/history\.md$/` `.+` matches one or more characters including `/`, covering any nesting depth while still anchoring on the literal filename `history.md`. Excluded paths: - .squad/decisions.md (Scribe-managed append-only decision log) - .squad/agents/**/history.md (per-agent append-only memory, any depth) - .squad/log/** (gitignored runtime logs, listed for completeness) - .squad/orchestration-log/** (gitignored, same) Instruction surfaces intentionally kept in scope: - .github/copilot-instructions.md - .squad/agents/*/charter.md (all depths — a malicious PR could plant unsafe git guidance in a charter; these MUST remain scannable) - .squad/team.md, .squad/routing.md, squad.agent.md Verified locally: (a) Exclusions work: .squad/decisions.md → excluded .squad/agents/retro/history.md → excluded .squad/agents/_alumni/kobayashi/history.md → excluded (was broken) .squad/agents/_alumni/deep/nested/history.md → excluded (any depth) (b) Charters still scanned: .squad/agents/retro/charter.md → NOT excluded (scanned) .squad/agents/scribe/charter.md → NOT excluded (scanned) (c) Probe detection: scripts/__scan-probe.sh with `git add .` and `git push --force` → 2 errors detected; probe deleted, no trace in commit.

…ories Scribe maintenance pass produced during the issue github#1556 work. Split out of PR github#1557 so that PR stays scoped to the shellcheck/actionlint gate. No product code, no workflows, no templates — .squad/ team state only. Decision inbox merged into decisions.md (6 entries), inbox cleared: - booster-ci-deletion-guard - retro-copilot-git-safety - flight-versioning-policy - booster-release-skill-v094 - procedures-fix-coordinator-inline-dispatch-gate - booster-workflow-template-linting (new) decisions.md 12151 -> 16030 bytes; still under the 20KB archival threshold, so no entries were archived. Agent histories summarized (all were over the 15KB threshold): eecom 33933 -> 5770, pao 30999 -> 5556, _alumni/kobayashi 26305 -> 3489, flight 23236 -> 5661, fido 22844 -> 6007, procedures 18945 -> 4082 This accounts for the ~1700 deleted lines — compaction of team memory, not lost work; prior content remains in git history. Cross-agent updates appended to fido (new CI quality gate) and surgeon (changeset landed; new lint job affects release gating), plus a RETRO history entry covering the security-scanner scoping fix in PR github#1559. Blocked on github#1559: the unsafe-git scanner flags decisions.md prose that documents the `git add .` prohibition. That fix cannot ship here because squad-repo-health.yml uses pull_request_target and checks out the base branch for trusted scripts, so CI always runs the dev copy of security-review.mjs.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Full content-level security review completed (not just diff mechanics): read the entire diff across all 15 files. No instruction injection, authority/scope escalation, impersonation, secrets, or malicious formatting found in any added or retained line. The lossy summarization of 6 oversized agent history files was spot-checked against dropped content and preserved every safety/governance lesson verified -- nothing load-bearing was lost. The decision entry touching coordinator dispatch-gate enforcement actually strengthens enforcement, not weakens it. Two non-blocking notes for the record: (1) retro/history.md's new content documenting the unsafe-git scanner exclusion (from #1559) is scope creep relative to this PR's stated purpose of history compaction/decision-inbox merging -- benign but worth explaining in future PR descriptions; (2) there's a structural gap worth considering as a follow-up: no automated check currently flags instruction-injection-style phrasing in decisions.md/history.md, only human diff review, which is a weak net for large LLM-summarization diffs like this one. Neither blocks this PR. Approving.

This is where the ~1,700 deleted lines come from — it is compaction of team memory, not lost work. Prior content remains in git history.

Worth a skim of the summarized histories to confirm nothing load-bearing was compressed away — summarization is lossy by design, and these six files carried a lot of accumulated context.
