Never synchronize .agents/PROJECT.md between repositories - #64
Merged
Conversation
PROJECT.md is each repository's project-local instruction file — the one place a repo records what is true only of itself (endpoints, credentials, deployment recipes, issue tracker, conventions that override the shared corpus for that repo alone). It was matched by the .agents/ propagation pattern, so every push made the last repository to publish overwrite every other repository's context. Studio's file had been reduced to Chronicle's several times over, losing its issue-tracking, deployment and security-token sections each time. Exclude it unconditionally in the scripts rather than relying on each repository's .copilot-sync-ignore: that file only protects the repo it lives in, so a single repo without one clobbers all the others. Also exclude it from bootstrap's cleanup list so it is never deleted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixed
.agents/PROJECT.mdis no longer synchronized between repositories. It is each repository's project-local instruction file — the one place a repo records what is true only of itself (endpoints, credentials, deployment recipes, issue tracker, conventions that override the shared corpus for that repo alone) — and propagating it meant the last repository to publish overwrote every other repository's context..agents/PROJECT.mdamong the files it may delete, so cleanup can never remove a repository's own project context.The exclusion is unconditional in the propagation scripts rather than delegated to each repository's
.copilot-sync-ignore, because that file only protects the repository it lives in — one repo without one is enough to clobber all the others.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
