From a597104cf2c8fad2802f16ccd2f6448ffa7d8012 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 23:54:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] vmbox: correct the .claude remote note and record a contamination path Two fixes to DISCOVERY_TEST.md, both found by re-checking claims instead of trusting them. The .claude remote: `git branch -vv` + `ls-remote` confirm main DOES track origin/main on kuhyx/claude-config-local, and `gh repo view` says that repo is PRIVATE. The correction was right but stated the wrong load-bearing fact -- what matters when telling a future session to push there is the visibility, not merely that a remote exists. Now says so, and says to re-check rather than trust the line. The contamination: NEXT_SESSION_INSTALLER_FIX.md, added to the root of ~/testsAndMisc the same day, is about hosts/install.sh -- the exact file the discovery prompt names -- and contains "Sandbox first, always ... ~/utils/vmbox". One `ls` at that repo root leaks the answer, which is a likelier path than the ~/utils grep already noted, and this session created it. Records it and offers the pacman wrapper as an uncontaminated substitute prompt.
