# The grid covers Hypatia, panic-attack, pons

# untouched.

# The reusable renders the grid; the two jobs below post it on the pull
# request and publish the badges, because a called workflow may not request
# permissions its caller does not grant.
# The lanes render their grids and ask for no write permission. The standards
# posting engine writes the one pull-request comment, and the badges job
# publishes the badge endpoints on a push to main.

The Hypatia lane and the comment poster followed on the same day. The
fork-local `hypatia-scan-reusable.yml` existed for two behaviours, and the
standards lane now offers both as opt-in inputs:
`sarif-upload-on-pull-request: false` and `inherited-language-paths` (the
upstream TypeScript list in `config/hypatia/`). The copy, its filter script
`scripts/filter-hypatia-inherited-language.sh` and that script's test are

so it has the layout that `3-practice/fork-governance/SPEC.adoc` fixes.

Update the rest of decision 6 to match the new pins.

Lines 380-381 now say that the governance lanes share one pin. The same item still says that the contract pins c6d78606… for K9 and 01c9b0c9… for the verdict-grid renderer. After this change K9 is at d73229d8…. The renderer constant has also been removed from scripts/check-governance-contract.sh. Correct or remove these stale constants. Otherwise the next pin reconciliation starts from false values.

Update the remaining pin references in decision 6 to reflect K9’s current pin, d73229d8…, and remove or correct the stale verdict-grid renderer pin now that its constant has been removed from the governance contract script. Ensure the decision no longer presents outdated hashes as current values.
