Summary

• create the isolated bootstrap candidate payload parent before writing the payload
• preserve .git exclusion and bind provenance to the trusted checkout through gitRoot
• add realistic missing-directory, source-mutation, and compiled-artifact ordering coverage
• regenerate only the packaged bootstrap workflow and integrity manifest

Validation

• npm run gh-aw:integrity:check — passed
• CI=true npm run build — passed
• npm test -- test/gh-aw-bootstrap-workflow.test.ts test/gh-aw-cast-validator.test.ts test/gh-aw-quality.test.ts test/gh-aw-install-staging.test.ts test/gh-aw-review-workflow.test.ts test/gh-aw-review-guard.test.ts test/gh-aw-hosted-e2e.test.ts — passed (7 files, 762 tests)
• gh aw compile squad-bootstrap --strict --approve --no-check-update — passed (1 workflow, 0 warnings)
• emitted contract inspection — passed; parent creation precedes candidate write, gitRoot: checkout retained, .git exclusion retained
• independent trust-boundary review — passed with no blocking findings
• git diff --check — passed
