+//! Decision-neutral auto-fixes. A fix may only fire where the corresponding
+//! lint check has already proven the rewrite is a semantic no-op -- and,
+//! because two of the three checks are themselves sampling heuristics rather
+//! than exhaustive proofs (see the module-level notes below), this module
+//! independently reverifies a strictly narrower, exact condition before ever
+//! mutating the model. Fail-closed beats over-fixing: a smaller fixable
+//! surface here is a deliberate feature, not a shortfall.
+//!
+//! ## Codes (verified against `cmd_lint`'s actual emitted `code:` values --
+//! not the descriptive slugs an earlier draft of this plan assumed)
+//!
+//! - `L008` (`check_duplicate_patterns`): an entry is a byte-identical repeat
+//!   of an earlier entry in the same list. Provably neutral by construction
+//!   (string equality), no glob semantics involved -- this is the only one
+//!   of the three with no caveats.
+//! - `L002` (`check_overlapping_patterns`): flags pairs that *may* overlap
+//!   using a small fixed set of synthetic sample paths
+//!   (`generate_synthetic_paths`). That proves "not disjoint" on the sample,
+//!   never subsumption -- two genuinely different patterns that overlap
+//!   (e.g. `*.secret` and `file.*`, both matching `file.secret`) are not
+//!   interchangeable, and removing either would change decisions for paths
+//!   that match only one of them. The only case this module treats as fixed
+//!   is the degenerate one where the flagged pair is byte-identical, which
+//!   collapses to the exact same removal `L008` already performs.
+//! - `L003` (`check_shadowed_exceptions`): flags an exception as dead when
+//!   none of its synthetic sample paths match any forbidden pattern. The
+//!   same sampling gap applies: for a wildcarded exception, the fixed
+//!   substitution set (`generate_synthetic_paths`) can miss the specific
+//!   string that would prove a real pattern/exception overlap (again,
+//!   `*.secret` / `file.*` via `file.secret` is a concrete counterexample).
+//!   This module only fixes the subset where the exception is a *literal*
+//!   path (no `*`/`?`): a literal glob matches exactly one string, so
+//!   testing that one string against every pattern is an exact answer, not
+//!   an approximation.

+//!   a `change_type` of "unchanged" or one of "tightened"/"relaxed"/
+//!   "escalated"/"demoted" -- there is no top-level `"changes"` wrapper).
+//! - Idempotence: running `--fix` a second time is a byte-for-byte no-op.

+//!   alone never actually exercises a fix -- every `--fix` call in it is a
+//!   no-op and the assertions that follow check nothing.

+# hushspec-testkit
+
+Conformance and differential-testing toolkit for HushSpec implementations.
+
+## Binaries
+
+| Binary | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `hushspec-testkit` | Replay the shared fixture corpus (`--fixtures fixtures`) |
+| `hushspec-normalize` | Parse a policy and print normalized JSON (cross-SDK roundtrip check) |
+| `hushspec-gen` | Generate a portable differential case bundle (JSON) |
+| `hushspec-difftest` | Differential fuzz: run bundles through all four SDK evaluators and fail on divergence |
+
+`hushspec-gen` and `hushspec-difftest` share one bundle generator, the
+`hushspec_testkit::gen` module (written `r#gen` in source, since `gen` is a
+reserved keyword). `hushspec-gen` writes a bundle to disk for later replay;
+`hushspec-difftest` calls the same generator in-memory per chunk unless
+`--bundle` tells it to replay an existing file instead.
+
+## Differential fuzzing
+
+```bash
+# Deterministic PR-style run (2,000 cases, all SDKs; build TS first: npm run build)
+cargo run --release -p hushspec-testkit --bin hushspec-difftest -- \
+  --seed 42 --groups 500 --actions-per-group 4
+
+# Replay a saved bundle (e.g. a CI artifact)
+cargo run --release -p hushspec-testkit --bin hushspec-difftest -- \
+  --bundle target/difftest/bundle-42.json
+
+# Minimize divergences and emit fixture candidates for review
+cargo run --release -p hushspec-testkit --bin hushspec-difftest -- \
+  --seed 42 --minimize --emit-fixtures target/difftest/fixture-candidates
+```
+
+`crates/hushspec-testkit/Cargo.toml` pins `proptest = "=1.11.0"` exactly
+(not `"1.11.0"`). Proptest's RNG-to-value mapping for a given seed is an
+implementation detail, not a semver-covered contract, so a routine proptest
+upgrade could silently change which policies a `--seed` produces. The exact
+pin is what makes `--seed`/`--seed-from-string` reproducible across machines
+and over time — reproducing a divergence by seed alone depends on it.
+
+Exit codes: `0` no divergence, `1` divergence found, `2` infrastructure error
+(a missing harness is an error, never a skipped SDK).
+
+## Case-bundle format (`hushspec_diff: "0.1.0"`)
+
+```json
+{
+  "hushspec_diff": "0.1.0",
+  "seed": 42,
+  "generated_by": "hushspec-gen 0.1.1",
+  "groups": [
+    {
+      "id": "g0001",
+      "policy": { "hushspec": "0.1.0", "rules": { } },
+      "actions": [ { "id": "a0001", "action": { "type": "tool_call", "target": "x" } } ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Case keys are `"{group_id}/{action_id}"`. Every policy in a generated bundle
+passes `hushspec::validate` in the Rust reference implementation, so any SDK
+rejecting one is an acceptance divergence. Consumers must reject unknown
+bundle fields and unknown `hushspec_diff` versions (fail-closed).
+
+SDK harnesses: `scripts/diffeval_ts.mjs`, `scripts/diffeval_python.py`,
+`packages/go/cmd/hushspec-diffeval`. Each prints
+`{"sdk": "<name>", "results": {"<case key>": <verdict>}}` where a verdict is
+`{"status":"ok","result":{...}}`, `{"status":"rejected","phase":"parse|validate","message":"..."}`,
+or `{"status":"error","message":"..."}`.
+
+Divergences found by the nightly workflow are minimized automatically and
+uploaded as fixture candidates; after human review they are committed to
+`fixtures/core/evaluation/regression-*.test.yaml`, where all four SDK suites
+replay them forever.

+# Editor Setup
+
+HushSpec documents are backed by JSON Schemas, published at stable URLs under
+their own `$id` (for example,
+`https://hushspec.dev/schemas/hushspec-core.v0.schema.json`). Any YAML-aware
+editor that speaks [`yaml-language-server`](https://github.com/redhat-developer/yaml-language-server)
+conventions -- VS Code (with the YAML extension), Neovim, JetBrains IDEs, and
+others -- can use these schemas for autocompletion, hover documentation, and
+inline validation as you write a policy.
+
+There are three ways to associate a HushSpec file with its schema, from most
+to least automatic.
+
+## 1. SchemaStore (zero configuration, once submitted)
+
+[SchemaStore](https://www.schemastore.org/) is a community-maintained catalog
+that maps filenames to schema URLs. Editors and extensions that consult it
+(VS Code's YAML extension, JetBrains IDEs, and others) associate a schema
+automatically -- no per-file comment or workspace setting required.
+
+HushSpec's prepared catalog entry (checked in at
+[`docs/schemastore-entry.json`](https://github.com/backbay-labs/hush/blob/main/docs/schemastore-entry.json))
+matches these filenames:
+
+- `hushspec.yaml` / `hushspec.yml`
+- `.hushspec.yaml` / `.hushspec.yml`
+- `*.hushspec.yaml` / `*.hushspec.yml`
+
+This is the same filename convention used elsewhere in HushSpec-aware tooling
+-- for example, the Claude Code hook's policy discovery walks up the
+directory tree looking for a `.hushspec.yaml`. Name your policy file to match
+one of these patterns and, once the SchemaStore submission below has merged,
+you get validation and autocomplete with no configuration at all.
+
+This layer isn't live yet -- see the [submission checklist](#schemastore-submission-checklist)
+below for what's still pending.
+
+## 2. Modeline (works today, any filename)
+
+Add a `yaml-language-server` modeline as the **first line** of the file:
+
+```yaml
+# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://hushspec.dev/schemas/hushspec-core.v0.schema.json
+hushspec: "0.1.0"
+name: "my-policy"
+```
+
+This works regardless of filename and needs no editor or workspace
+configuration beyond the YAML extension itself. It's what every shipped
+ruleset and library policy in this repository carries, and what `h2h init`
+writes into scaffolded files automatically. `h2h fmt` preserves this line
+across reformatting.
+
+Evaluator test files (the `*.test.yaml` fixtures `h2h init` scaffolds
+alongside a policy) use the evaluator-test schema instead:
+
+```yaml
+# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://hushspec.dev/schemas/hushspec-evaluator-test.v0.schema.json
+```
+
+See the [JSON Schema reference](../reference/json-schema.md) for the full
+list of published schemas.
+
+## 3. Workspace settings (works today, any filename, explicit)
+
+If you'd rather not add a modeline to every file, or your editor doesn't
+support SchemaStore auto-detection, map a glob pattern to a schema URL in
+your workspace settings:
+
+```yaml
+# .vscode/settings.json
+"yaml.schemas": {
+  "https://hushspec.dev/schemas/hushspec-core.v0.schema.json": ["policies/*.yaml"]
+}
+```
+
+(JetBrains IDEs: **Preferences → Languages & Frameworks → Schemas and DTDs →
+JSON Schema Mappings**, using the same URL and glob.)
+
+## Interim fallback: raw GitHub URL
+
+`hushspec.dev` resolving to these schemas depends on a docs deploy that
+publishes `schemas/*.json` alongside the mdBook site, plus the domain's DNS
+being pointed at GitHub Pages -- both maintainer-side, one-time setup steps.
+Until `hushspec.dev` is confirmed live, substitute the raw GitHub URL
+anywhere above; it always resolves and tracks `main` directly:
+
+```
+https://raw.githubusercontent.com/backbay-labs/hush/main/schemas/hushspec-core.v0.schema.json
+```
+
+Once `hushspec.dev` is live, prefer the canonical URL -- it's the one the
+schemas' own `$id` fields declare, and the one the SchemaStore entry above
+points to.
+
+## SchemaStore submission checklist
+
+Submitting the catalog entry to the upstream
+[`SchemaStore/schemastore`](https://github.com/SchemaStore/schemastore)
+repository is a separate, external PR, gated on the URLs above actually
+resolving. Roughly:
+
+1. Confirm `https://hushspec.dev/schemas/hushspec-core.v0.schema.json` (and
+   the other six published schemas) resolve over HTTPS.
+2. Fork `SchemaStore/schemastore`.
+3. Add the contents of [`docs/schemastore-entry.json`](https://github.com/backbay-labs/hush/blob/main/docs/schemastore-entry.json)
+   as a new entry in `src/api/json/catalog.json`'s `schemas` array (check the
+   file for its current sort order convention before inserting).
+4. Run SchemaStore's own catalog validation locally and address anything it
+   flags -- it will fetch `url` and validate the entry shape, so this step
+   only makes sense after step 1 is confirmed.
+5. Open the PR against `SchemaStore/schemastore` referencing this repository
+   and the `fileMatch` patterns above.
+
+No vendored copy of the schema is needed in the SchemaStore repository itself
+-- the entry references HushSpec's externally hosted `url`, so only the
+catalog entry needs to land there.

 ## Installation
 
+### CLI
+
+| Method | Command |
+|---|---|
+| Homebrew (macOS/Linux) | `brew install backbay-labs/tap/h2h` |
+| npm | `npm install -g @hushspec/cli` (or `npx @hushspec/cli validate policy.yaml`) |
+| Cargo (from source) | `cargo install hushspec-cli` |
+| Prebuilt binaries | [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/backbay-labs/hush/releases) — `h2h-<tag>-<target>.tar.gz` + `SHA256SUMS`, provenance-attested |
+
+> Homebrew, npm, and prebuilt binaries become available starting with the first `v0.x` tag built by the release pipeline, once the release pipeline publishes artifacts, the tap formula, and the npm packages. Until then, install via Cargo.
+
+This installs the `h2h` command.
+
 The Rust crate and TypeScript package are not published yet. For now, consume
 the reference implementations directly from a local checkout of this repo.

+### Shadow / monitor mode
+
+Roll out a policy without blocking anything: monitor mode evaluates every
+action, records what *would* have been denied, and never throws. Escalate
+individual rules to `enforce` as confidence grows.
+
+```ts
+import { HushGuard, FileReceiptSink } from '@hushspec/core';
+
+const guard = HushGuard.fromFile('./policy.yaml', {
+  enforcement: {
+    mode: 'monitor',
+    overrides: { 'rules.secret_patterns': 'enforce' }, // already trusted: block for real
+  },
+  sink: new FileReceiptSink('./receipts.jsonl'), // required: monitor must be observable
+});
+
+const outcome = guard.gate({ type: 'shell_command', target: 'rm -rf /' });
+// outcome.proceed        -> true (monitor never blocks)
+// outcome.result.decision -> 'deny' (the evaluated decision)
+// outcome.enforcement    -> { mode: 'monitor', outcome: 'would_block' }
+```
+
+Receipts written by the sink carry `enforcement: { mode, outcome }` alongside
+the evaluated `decision`. Panic mode always blocks, even under monitor.

+//     path never produces that shape.

+//     like spaces (` ` -> `%20`); a raw template concatenation does not, so
