check-ledger

Keeps the evidence behind the CLAUDE.md status words: which real checks ran, whether they passed, and which files changed after the last pass.

  • Real check means the repo's tests, type-checker, build, linter or validator: pnpm test|typecheck|build|lint, vitest, jest, pytest, tsc, cargo/go/swift test/build, eslint, claude plugin test|validate, and similar. Syntax-only checks (bash -n, node --check, json.tool), --help and --version don't count. The outcome comes from the Bash call's own error flag.
  • Status line: ✓ pnpm run typecheck · 2 files unchecked, or ✗ pnpm test.
  • /evidence: the last 10 checks, the files edited after the last passing check, and the strongest word the ledger supports: tested (every edit has a passing check after it) or implemented locally.
  • evidence tool (mcp__check-ledger__evidence): the same report for Claude to read before it says "tested". The tool needs a local listener. Where that is refused (a sandboxed launch) it logs one line, and /evidence and the status line still work.

Limits: the ledger lives in the module and restarts on a reload or a new session. It only sees calls made in this session, including its subagents. It observes; it never blocks or changes a call.

Hooks: session.start, tool.call (Bash and edit tools, passed through unchanged), command.run. Calls: $.command.register, $.tool.register, $.ui.status, $.ui.log, $.clock.now.

Test: claude plugin test . (3 tests).
