docs: stop telling readers that status.json fixes itself - #1068
Merged
Conversation
`validate_platform_manifest.py` compares this manifest against https://openadapt.ai/status.json and reports skew as a warning. Both the docstring and the warning text explained that choice by saying status.json "regenerates on its own cadence in openadapt-web". It does not regenerate. It is a hand-edited file. Nothing derives it from PyPI or from this manifest, and no component release writes back to openadapt-web. On 2026-07-28 it advertised openadapt-flow 1.24.0 and openadapt 1.10.0 while PyPI had 1.25.1 and 1.10.1, and this validator had been quietly warning about exactly that. The severity is unchanged and deliberately so: status.json lives in another repository, and a release here must not be blocked by an edit nobody in this repo can make. What changes is that the message no longer tells the reader the problem is transient. A warning that explains itself away is a warning nobody acts on, and that is how the skew survived. Both texts now say what is actually true, name openadapt-web's own daily guard (scripts/check_published_version_claims.mjs) as after-the-fact detection rather than prevention, and name the two files a person has to edit. No behaviour change. `python scripts/validate_platform_manifest.py --strict-status` passes with 0 warnings against the current live status.json. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NyCHrzA1psrKMFfroYbzaM

It does not regenerate. It is a hand-edited file. Nothing derives it from PyPI
or from this manifest, and no component release writes back to openadapt-web.
On 2026-07-28 it advertised openadapt-flow 1.24.0 and openadapt 1.10.0 while
PyPI had 1.25.1 and 1.10.1, and this validator had been quietly warning about
exactly that.
The severity is unchanged and deliberately so: status.json lives in another
repository, and a release here must not be blocked by an edit nobody in this
repo can make. What changes is that the message no longer tells the reader the
problem is transient. A warning that explains itself away is a warning nobody
acts on, and that is how the skew survived.
Both texts now say what is actually true, name openadapt-web's own daily guard
(scripts/check_published_version_claims.mjs) as after-the-fact detection rather
than prevention, and name the two files a person has to edit.
No behaviour change.
