So:\n\n- a field genesis recorded as overflow, re-observed with scalar values on a changed file, is expected — not schema drift;\n- likewise a NEW overflow field when a regenerated document grows (e.g. new `paths_*` routes): the frozen schema of a capped dataset is explicitly partial.\n\n### Actual behavior\n\n```\nerror: project retained file wide.json: field tag_07_field_06 is absent from frozen dataset json\nxerj-done ok=false exit=1 reason=aborted\n```\n\nEvery subsequent run aborts identically. The only recovery is deleting the published indices and the state dir and re-indexing from scratch — after which the next edit of the same file aborts again.\n\nReal-world corpus: a generated OpenAPI/Swagger document (~4.6 MB, 110 tags, 560+ routes; the flattened per-route fields alone exceed 512) wedged on its first regeneration:\n\n```\nerror: project retained file docs/api/swaggerApi.json: field x-generated_operationCount is absent from frozen dataset docs-api-swaggerapi\n```\n\nRoot cause (rc.96, 8a97231): `infer_fields_with_policy` truncates specs at `MAX_FIELDS_PER_DATASET` and records the overflow names in a note; publication passes unmapped fields through; but `reconcile_plan::ensure_compatible` treats any scalar field absent from the frozen specs as fatal drift — including the very fields the freeze itself declared overflow. #580 / #581 fixed the array-valued prune variant; this is the cap-truncated scalar sibling, and it also blocks NEW overflow fields a regenerated document grows.\n\nI have a patch with unit + e2e regression tests ready and will open a PR: freeze the overflow names structurally (`PlanDataset.unmapped_overflow`, serde-default so older journals deserialize with `None` and the names fall back to parsing the legacy note), and let `ensure_compatible` tolerate absent fields for capped datasets only — sub-cap datasets keep the strict fail-closed check. Verified the patched build also un-wedges an existing state dir in place, without a rebuild.\n\n### Is this an Elasticsearch wire-compatibility divergence?\n\nNo — this is a XERJ-native issue (not an ES-compat concern)\n\n### Elasticsearch reference (if a compat divergence)\n\n_No response_\n\n### Relevant logs\n\n```shell\nclient-side, --progress none (nothing server-side at failure time):\nerror: project retained file wide.json: field tag_07_field_06 is absent from frozen dataset json\nxerj-done ok=false exit=1 reason=aborted wall=0.5s files=1 records=0\n```\n\n### Confirmations\n\n- [x] I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.\n- [x] I can reproduce this with a minimal example on a clean data directory.","number":1815,"state":"OPEN","title":"[bug]: autoindex: changed file in a >512-field dataset aborts incremental runs — cap-overflow fields rejected as absent from frozen dataset","url":"https://github.com/xerj-org/xerj/issues/1815"},{"body":"## What happens\n\n`xerj feedback --open-pr` runs, in the current working directory's git repository:\n\n```\ngit checkout -b field-report/<slug>\ngit add user-feedback/16-agent-field-reports/<file>.md\ngit commit --only <relpath> -m \"docs(field-report): <slug>\"\ngit push -u origin field-report/<slug>\ngh pr create --base main --head field-report/<slug> …\n```\n\n`engine/crates/xerj-autoindex/src/feedback.rs:435-482`.

Inviting an agent to file a field report (llms.txt, `AGENTS.md`, and the `--help` invitation all do) therefore invites it to create a branch in the user's repository, commit a file into a `user-feedback/16-agent-field-reports/` path that does not belong there, push it to the user's `origin`, and open a pull request against the user's `main`. On a repository the user does not own, the push fails after the branch and commit already exist locally.\n\nReproduced during the llms.txt study (2026-09-19) in a foreign repository with a stub `gh`: exit 0, branch created, commit made, pushed to the foreign `origin`, `gh pr create` invoked without `--repo`. Confirmed in the source above.\n\n## Suggested fix\n\nResolve the target explicitly instead of inheriting it: check `git remote get-url origin` (and `gh repo view`) resolves to `xerj-org/xerj`, and if it does not, refuse loudly and print the commands and the fork instructions instead of touching the tree — the same fail-loud shape `--open-pr` already uses when `gh` is missing. `gh pr create --repo xerj-org/xerj` and pushing to the contributor's fork would make the intended path explicit.\n\nSurfaced by the llms.txt agent-documentation study (docs/research/llms-txt-2026-09) while verifying that the documented feedback path works as written.","number":960,"state":"CLOSED","title":"xerj feedback --open-pr commits and pushes into whatever repository it is run from","url":"https://github.com/xerj-org/xerj/issues/960"},{"body":"## Problem\nRe-running `xerj autoindex` on a **different** folder with the **same** `--prefix` retires the previous run's datasets at finalize.

Three shipped surfaces promise it commits only the field report.\n\n## The code\n\n`engine/crates/xerj-autoindex/src/feedback.rs:416-434` builds five steps:\n\n```rust\n(\"git add\",    vec![\"add\".into(), relpath.clone()]),\n(\"git commit\", vec![\"commit\".into(), \"-m\".into(),\n                    format!(\"docs(field-report): {}\", draft.slug)]),\n(\"git push\",   vec![\"push\".into(), \"-u\".into(), \"origin\".into(), branch.clone()]),\n```\n\n`git add <relpath>` stages the report. `git commit -m …` then carries **no pathspec and no `--only`**, so it commits the whole index — the report plus whatever the user had already staged. `git push` sends it to the branch the tool opens the PR from.\n\n## What ships alongside it\n\n- `feedback.rs:520` — `xerj feedback --open-pr [OPTIONS]    commit ONLY the report + open a PR`\n- `feedback.rs:543` — `--open-pr            create branch field-report/<slug>, commit ONLY that one file,`\n- `landing/llms.txt:68` — ``  `xerj feedback --open-pr` commits **only** `user-feedback/16-agent-field-reports/<date>-<slug>.md` and opens the PR.``\n\nAll three are wrong, and two of them are the binary's own `--help`. `CHANGELOG.md` is the only surface that describes the real behaviour, and a CHANGELOG is not what someone reads before running a command.\n\n## Why this is worse than an ordinary doc/code mismatch\n\nThe failure is silent, public, and irreversible in the way that matters. Nothing warns, nothing fails, the exit code is 0, and the PR is open before the user sees what went into it. Anything staged goes public: a `.env` a developer had staged, a credentials file, an unrelated in-progress change, a customer file. Deleting the branch afterwards does not unpublish it — GitHub keeps the objects reachable and forks/caches may already have them.\n\nTwo properties make it likely rather than theoretical:\n\n1. **`xerj feedback` is the community CTA.** README and `llms.txt` present it as the one-command way to contribute, aimed explicitly at coding agents. An agent working in a repo it did not clean first is the expected caller, not the edge case.\n2. **The promise invites the risk.** \"commits ONLY that one file\" is exactly the sentence that tells a careful user they do not need to check `git status` first. The docs actively remove the habit that would catch this.\n\nAnyone who ran `git add -A` before deciding to file a report gets the whole working tree in a public PR.\n\n## Fix\n\nScope the commit to the file it claims:\n\n```rust\n(\"git commit\", vec![\"commit\".into(), \"--only\".into(), relpath.clone(),\n                    \"-m\".into(), format!(\"docs(field-report): {}\", draft.slug)]),\n```\n\n`git commit --only <path>` commits that path and nothing else, leaving the rest of the index untouched — which is what all three surfaces already promise. (`-- <pathspec>` behaves the same here; `--only` is explicit about intent.)\n\nWorth adding with it:\n\n- A test that stages a decoy file, runs the flow against a scratch repo, and asserts the resulting commit's tree contains exactly one path. Without that, this regresses invisibly — the current behaviour has no test asserting commit scope in either direction.\n- Refuse, or at minimum warn, when the index is dirty at entry. Even scoped correctly, a user who thinks the tool is committing their staged work deserves to be told it is not.\n\n## Provenance\n\nFound by the independent verification pass on #460 (round 2, completeness lens). Round 1 raised the same contradiction and it was corrected on the CHANGELOG side only — the code and the two `--help` strings were not touched, so the shipped binary still promises \"ONLY\". Fixing the notes to match a defect, rather than the defect, is what let it survive a review that had already caught it.\n\nNot folded into #460: that PR is release notes, and this is a code change that wants its own tests.\n","number":488,"state":"CLOSED","title":"xerj feedback --open-pr commits everything staged and pushes it to a public PR, while --help promises \"commit ONLY that one file\"","url":"https://github.com/xerj-org/xerj/issues/488"},{"body":"`xerj feedback --open-pr` tells the user, in four separate places, that it commits only the field report.

This command exists to recruit **agents** into filing field reports, and the project asks them to run it at the end of a session — exactly when a working tree is most likely to have staged work. An agent that has staged a `.env`, a credentials file, or a customer's source and then runs the one command the docs tell it to run will open a **public PR** containing it, having been told four times that only the report is committed.\n\nIt is also CLA-exempt, so the PR merges without the friction that might otherwise surface it.\n\n## Fix\n\nRestrict the commit to the pathspec:\n\n```rust\n(\"git commit\", vec![\"commit\".into(), \"--only\".into(), relpath.clone(), \"-m\".into(), msg, ...])\n```\n\n`--only` commits exactly the named path regardless of index state, which is what every one of the four messages already promises.
