#2271 Remove dead verification/container/ and fix the stale AGENTS.md verification instruction

Opened by skunk-ape · 9/18/2026

Discovered while triaging swamp-club#1964 (single source of truth for the Deno toolchain version).

Problem

Two documents disagree about how pre-PR verification runs:

  • AGENTS.md (Verification section) says: "run the verification workflow in the container sandbox instead of these commands individually" and "See agent-constraints/verification-conventions.md for the docker command."
  • agent-constraints/verification-conventions.md documents no docker command at all. It mentions a container exactly once, in the negative: "Reviews run as a swamp workflow on the host (not in a container)." Build and review steps run as host workflows in temporary checkouts.

Confirmed with the maintainer: the container sandbox is dead. verification/container/ (Containerfile + build.sh) is no longer referenced by anything except its own build.sh and one line in .claude/skills/issue-lifecycle/references/verification.md. Its pins are also stale at Deno 2.8.3, while the rest of the repo is on 2.9.6.

Proposal

  1. Delete verification/container/ (Containerfile, build.sh, and any supporting files).
  2. Rewrite the AGENTS.md Verification section to describe the host workflow commands that verification-conventions.md actually documents, removing the container sandbox and docker command references.
  3. Update .claude/skills/issue-lifecycle/references/verification.md line 23, which tells agents the container must be built first.

Why separate from swamp-club#1964

1964 makes .tool-versions the single source of truth for the Deno version and adds a drift-guard test. Deleting dead infrastructure and correcting agent-facing instructions is a different concern, and 1964 deliberately keeps its blast radius small by not touching verification/container/ at all.
