When the branch resolves a real `Closes #N` (the common path) linkage is met; a PR that closes nothing needs a `Refs: #N` line or a `No related issue:` line. +A PR that references an issue without closing it carries `Refs: #N` (or `Relates to: #N`) alone on its own line, which satisfies the §2.4.2 pre-create gate and the repository's `pr-contract` check; the accepted forms are in the header of [`hooks/pr-linkage-validator.sh`](../../../hooks/pr-linkage-validator.sh). A `Refs #N` without the colon, and the `Refs #Y — ` bullets `${REFS_LINES}` carries into `## Related`, are not linkage. A closing keyword under a negation (`does not close #N`) still registers as a closing reference on GitHub, so the hook and CI block it; use the `Refs:` line instead.

When that test prints anything or cannot be computed, zero attributed artifacts still means nothing was reviewed.

Each forge read (PRs, `delete_branch_on_merge`) targets the owning repository, each helper that takes `--repo-dir` gets `''`, and the carried-file guard's `MAIN_ROOT` is the owning repository. A step that needs a working directory, such as `down`, runs in a subshell `( cd '

' && … )`, so the caller's working directory never changes. A path or repository holding a single quote reaches no command: report it. -`down` is the one step this mode gates further. Discovery collects every repository with a worktree under the roots, including clones the user never chose to trust, and a session outside every repository has no stage context for the untrusted-input skip in Step 4a.

SKILL.md carries the headline; this file carries the porcelain-parse fields, the staleness math, the stranded-work axis, the classification table, and the output schema. ## Data collection 1. **Worktree list**: Run `bash "/lib/worktree-facts.sh" list `. Do not parse porcelain by hand. It prints a header and one TSV row per worktree: `path head branch bare linked locked lock_reason prunable`, with `-` for an empty column. `locked` is `yes` for a lock with no reason too. - `git worktree list --porcelain` emits correct absolute paths for every layout (standard clone, bare-clone hub, `.claude/worktrees/`), so `status` and `audit` need no layout-specific detection here, unlike Smart Default / `create` / `cleanup`, which resolve the hub root (`git rev-parse --git-common-dir` ending in `.bare`) for path construction. + `git worktree list --porcelain` emits correct absolute paths for every layout (standard clone, bare-clone hub, `.claude/worktrees/`), so `status` and `audit` need no layout-specific detection here, unlike Smart Default, `create` and `cleanup`, which resolve the hub root (`git rev-parse --git-common-dir` ending in `.bare`) to build paths. -2. **PR cross-reference**: For each worktree's branch, read its PRs in all states with their number, title, state and `headRefName` ([GitHub](../../../reference/providers/github/README.md#resolve-a-pull-request), "PRs for worktree cross-reference"). Read per branch, never as one list of every PR: a repository-wide list is capped and silently drops the older PRs, so an older worktree would show no PR. A worktree with a detached HEAD has no branch to query. Graceful degradation: if `gh` is unavailable, skip PR info and note "GitHub API unavailable."; if the read for one branch fails, show that row's PR as "PR lookup incomplete" rather than `none`, and leave that branch out of the merged-refs input below. +2. **PR cross-reference**: For each worktree's branch, read its PRs in all states with their number, title, state and `headRefName` ([GitHub](../../../reference/providers/github/README.md#resolve-a-pull-request), "PRs for worktree cross-reference").
