A rabbit reads the workflow page,
Then tests in homes set up with care.
It logs the model and results,
And keeps shared locks and ports in check.
Its carrots wait; the guide is there.

Review comments at @docs/AGENT_WORKFLOW.md:
- Around line 74-76: Update the lock acquisition and cleanup instructions in the
workflow around the `.ollama.lock` loop so the current run removes its lock on
failure or early exit, without deleting a lock held by another run. Add guidance
to verify the recorded owner is no longer active before manually removing a
stale lock.
- Around line 89-92: Update the test-home guidance in AGENT_WORKFLOW.md to
explicitly clear any inherited SENTIENT_KEYCHAIN_NAMESPACE override before using
a test SENTIENT_HOME, so namespace selection uses the test home rather than the
shared keychain.
- Around line 96-98: Update the early-return paths in seed-memory-skills.py’s
main and seed-tasks.py’s main so --theme-only and --config-only quiet the
existing home with seed_safety.quiet and report the result with
seed_safety.announce before returning, unless --keep-live is set.

Review comments at @AGENTS.md:
- Around line 82-84: Update the real-engine and evidence guidance in AGENTS.md,
the agent workflow guide, and the pull request template to apply only to changes
that can affect runtime. For documentation-only and other non-runtime changes,
request validation appropriate to the changed artifact instead of runtime
evidence; keep model-run requirements conditional on whether a model is
involved.
Review comments at @docs/AGENT_WORKFLOW.md:
- Line 29: Update the token-generation command in the workflow instructions to
choose an executable Python path appropriate to the platform, using the Windows
virtual-environment path when available and the Unix path otherwise. Use the
selected executable to generate SENTIENT_GATEWAY_TOKEN.

What and why
Closes #415.
The rules our AI builders follow lived only in a temporary folder on the maintainer's machine, so they got lost between sessions and contributors' own AI tools never saw them. This moves the general ones into the repo.
docs/AGENT_WORKFLOW.md(new): one issue = one PR; claim the issue first (/assignor a comment); the real end-to-end test rule (own engine, emptySENTIENT_HOME, randomSENTIENT_GATEWAY_TOKEN, free port,ollama_chat/qwen3:8bwhere the model matters and neverollama/, Claude Code for chat only,smoke.mjsscreenshots you look at yourself, GitHub runs for repo changes); sharing one computer (ports, the Ollama lock, the build lock, keychain namespaces since fix(secrets): give every data folder its own keychain namespace #303, seeded homes with tasks paused and deliveries off, never a debugging port you didn't start, never the person's accounts or browser, pytest--basetempon a drive with room); and what goes in the PR..ollama.lockat the root of the main checkout, found from any worktree withgit rev-parse --git-common-dir, with a copy-pastenoclobbersnippet that creates it atomically..gitignoregains.ollama.lock,.pytest-tmp/and.test-homes/.Left out on purpose: everything specific to one machine (paths, keychain entries, drives, a browser's debugging port). They are generic warnings now ("never touch the person's real accounts or a browser you didn't launch").
Rebased on #418 (changelog fragments): the doc's PR checklist now points at
changes/./assignin the doc refers to #416.How I tested it
Docs and config only; no code or tests change. CI is green.
Real test
The first attempt used
$PWDforSENTIENT_HOME. WithMSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1(which the doc also asks for), Git Bash passes/d/...to Python untranslated, so the engine silently used a folder at the drive root instead and ignored the config written to the intended home. The snippet now usespwd -Wand the doc explains why; the rerun above is with the fixed snippet.GET /api/configneeds the bearer token (docs/API.md), the Ollama address lives inmodels.providers.{ollama,ollama_chat}.api_base(sentient/config/schema.py), the keychain namespace section anchor exists in docs/DEVELOPING.md, seed safety matchesdesktop/scripts/seed_safety.pyas described in desktop/AGENTS.md.After review, the snippet releases the lock on any exit through a
trapthat only removes a lock that is still ours. Same setup, a run that fails with exit 3, then a run whose lock someone else replaced:CodeRabbit's third finding (the seed scripts'
--theme-only/--config-onlymodes skip quieting the home) is a code change, so it is #426 instead of part of this docs PR; the doc now says a full seed run quiets the home.(no matches; a wider scan for the owner's name, drive letters,
AppData,scratchpad, the debugging port number and keychain entry names also found nothing)Summary by CodeRabbit
