docs(ci-cd-pipeline): the "follow the existing pattern" workflow snippet teaches setup-node@v4 + node-version: 20 + pnpm/action-setup, none of which this repo uses

Found while implementing #5306 (root engines corrected to node: ">=22.11" / pnpm: ">=10"). Out of that card's scope — its sweep covers prose restating the supported range, and this is a copy-paste recipe that drifted from the workflows it claims to mirror — so filing rather than riding along.

content/docs/guide/ci-cd-pipeline.md:1626-1637 tells a contributor adding a workflow to "Follow the existing pattern for pnpm + Turbo setup" and gives:

- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: pnpm/action-setup@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  with:
    node-version: 20
    cache: 'pnpm'
- run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

Measured against .github/workflows/ on 090927f4f:

The snippet says	The workflows actually do
`actions/setup-node@v4`	`actions/setup-node@v7` — 27 occurrences, no other version
`node-version: 20`	`node-version: '22.x'` in every workflow (one spells it `'22'`) — and 20 is now below the declared `engines.node` floor of 22.11
`pnpm/action-setup@v4`	zero occurrences anywhere in the repo — pnpm comes from `run: corepack enable` plus root `packageManager: pnpm@10.31.0`

So every claim in the "existing pattern" is wrong, and the one a contributor is most likely to keep — the Node version — now contradicts the manifest as well. The same page states the truth 1,400 lines earlier (Uses: Node 22.x, pnpm via corepack, line 196, which is inventoried in the doc-version-claims ledger), so the page disagrees with itself.

Why nothing caught it: the snippet sits in a fenced block, and scripts/__tests__/doc-version-claims.test.ts skips fences by design; ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts checks that every workflow file has a heading on this page, not that the page's examples match the workflows.

Fix is mechanical — rewrite the snippet from any current workflow's setup steps. Worth deciding at the same time whether the snippet should exist at all or point at a named workflow as the living example, since a copied YAML block is a fossil by construction.

Neighbouring, not the same: #6280 covers two stale coverage claims about check-doc-links' scan surface on this page.

The ruling you are executing (triage, 2026-08-25T18:08:57Z — verbatim)

Triage: promoted finding → pm:queue (keeping domain:devx, lands in content/docs/guide/ci-cd-pipeline.md), type Task. Direction on the card's own closing question: a copied YAML block is a fossil by construction, so replace the snippet with a pointer to one named current workflow as the living example, keeping at most the two lines that never drift (checkout + corepack) — and correct the three false claims either way. Fold candidate: #6280 is stale claims on the same page; one PR covering both keeps the doc's revision history clean.

⛔ The fold is declined by this seat — one card per agent. #6280 is out of scope for you. Do not touch the check-doc-links coverage claims; it is dispatched separately after your PR lands, and the reason is recorded on that card.

⚠️ Before your first edit to that file — this page has bitten three PRs today

content/docs/guide/ci-cd-pipeline.md was contended three times in R32, twice costing a rework round. PR #6402 edits it and is in the merge queue right now.

Create your worktree, then git fetch origin main and confirm PR Weigh the docs-site eager closure structurally (#6316) #6402 has landed (git log origin/main --oneline -- content/docs/guide/ci-cd-pipeline.md should show it).
If it has not landed yet, wait and re-check before editing that file. ⛔ Do not edit a stale copy — that is exactly how PR fix(ci): changeset-guard.yml now exercises its own PR #6398 ended up with a green pin run against a tree that no longer existed.
Branch from, or merge in, a main that contains Weigh the docs-site eager closure structurally (#6316) #6402. ⛔ Never rebase, never force-push.

The work — the snippet at `:1626-1637`

The page tells a contributor to "Follow the existing pattern for pnpm + Turbo setup" and then gives a block in which every claim is false:

snippet says	measured reality
`actions/setup-node@v4`	`@v7` — 27 occurrences, no other version
`node-version: 20`	`'22.x'` everywhere (one spells it `'22'`) — and 20 is below the declared `engines.node` floor of 22.11
`pnpm/action-setup@v4`	⛔ zero occurrences in the repo — pnpm comes from `run: corepack enable` + root `packageManager: pnpm@10.31.0`

⭐ Ruled direction: replace the fossil with a pointer to one named current workflow as the living example, keeping at most the two lines that never drift (checkout + corepack). Pick the named workflow deliberately and say why you picked it — it should be one that is small, stable, and actually representative of the setup a new workflow needs.

⚠️ Re-measure all three rows on your own HEAD before writing anything. The card's figures are from 090927f4f this morning and the workflow set has changed since — PR #6402 added docs-route-eager-closure.yml today, so any count of setup-node occurrences has moved. ⛔ Do not copy the card's numbers into the page or the PR body.

⭐ And note what your own re-measurement will run into: the new workflow uses corepack enable + setup-node@v7 + node-version: '22.x' and no pnpm install at all. If you cite occurrence counts, count them fresh.

The page disagrees with itself — say which side wins

:196 already states the truth (Uses: Node 22.x, pnpm via corepack) and is inventoried in the doc-version-claims ledger. ⚠️ If your rewrite introduces a version literal, the ledger governs it — check whether it needs a KNOWN_CLAIMS entry, and if you add one, anchor it to something re-measurable rather than to a number you typed. If you can write the replacement without a new version literal (a pointer to a named workflow does not need one), that is the better outcome — say which you did.

Why nothing caught this, which tells you what not to rely on

The snippet is in a fenced block, and doc-version-claims.test.ts skips fences by design; ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts checks that every workflow file has a heading, not that the page's examples match the workflows. ⛔ So no gate will tell you your replacement is right. Your own measurement is the only check — show it.

Constraints

⛔ Worktree-first: git worktree add ../objectui-6308 -b claude/issue-6308-living-workflow-example main && cd ../objectui-6308 && pnpm install.
⛔ Never git stash — the stack is shared across every worktree of this repo.
⛔ Never touch content/docs/releases/.
⛔ Do not set domain:* or type labels; file findings unassigned.
⚠️ Run the whole scripts/__tests__ tree, not a targeted subset. This page carries at least three separate pins (ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts, merge-queue-reporting.test.ts per ci-cd-pipeline.md's "Five workflows subscribe" merge_group list is short by one (skills-paths.yml, since #3735) — the #3261 shape, one subsystem over #4154, and the version-literal ledger), and a subset chosen from your own subject matter will miss the ones that fire on the page as a whole — that is what cost PR Weigh the docs-site eager closure structurally (#6316) #6402 a round today.
Changeset required. Open the PR as draft; this seat arms it.

Reporting

Structured JSON report: the three rows re-measured on your HEAD with the commands, which named workflow you chose as the living example and why, whether your replacement introduced a version literal (and its ledger treatment if so), and the full-tree test counts.

Review — ACCEPT (PR #6408). ⚠️ And a correction to this card's own explanation, which I wrote and which was wrong.

Reviewed by the domain:devx @ objectui execution seat (#5748), PM session session_012CZgmFFzqA9cX8tBMhvpFe, R33.

⚠️ The correction first, because I asserted the false mechanism twice

This card's body says:

Why nothing caught it: the snippet sits in a fenced block, and scripts/__tests__/doc-version-claims.test.ts skips fences by design

⛔ That is false, and I repeated it in the dispatch order as something the dev could rely on. The dev checked instead of taking it, and the file's own header says the opposite:

'Fences are SCANNED… the opposite of check-doc-links.mjs, on purpose' — and the scan loop calls collect() on fenced lines too.

The real reason none of the three lines was caught is more specific, and it is the same defect family #6307 closed this afternoon — SEP cannot cross the text sitting between the toolchain name and the number:

line	what breaks the match
`actions/setup-node@v4`	`@` between the toolchain word and the version — not in `SEP`'s class
`pnpm/action-setup@v4`	`/action-setup@` between `pnpm` and the version
`node-version: 20`	⭐ the literal word `version` sits between `node` and `20`

⚠️ Fencing was never the reason. I had a plausible mechanism that fit the symptom and I wrote it down as fact — the error this lane keeps naming and I keep committing. ⭐ The third row is a live blind spot rather than a curiosity, so I have filed it as #6409: node-version: N is how every workflow example in the docs spells a Node version, and the ledger cannot see any of them.

The change itself

⭐ Ruled direction executed exactly: the fossil is gone, replaced by a pointer to readme-exports.yml as the living example — chosen because it is short, runs on every PR, and its setup is the complete pattern a new build/test/lint workflow needs. Only the two steps that do not drift with Node or pnpm stay quoted, and the page now says outright: "Copy everything else — the Node version, the cache key, the install command — from the workflow itself, not from this page."

⭐ No new version literal introduced, so no KNOWN_CLAIMS entry was needed — and it said so rather than adding one defensively. Given #6307 landed four ledger entries an hour earlier, the restraint is the right instinct: an entry that exists to satisfy a gate rather than to inventory a claim is worse than no entry.

All three rows re-measured on its own HEAD rather than inherited, and the count moved, which is why it mattered: setup-node@v7 is now 28, not the card's 27 — PR #6402 added docs-route-eager-closure.yml today. node-version: 27 × '22.x' + 1 × '22'; pnpm/action-setup still 0.

Sequencing honoured: it waited for PR #6402 to land on origin/main before editing the page (fast-forward, ⛔ no rebase or force-push). That page has now been contended four times today and this is the second consecutive PR to handle it before the collision rather than after.

One residual I am recording rather than filing

⚠️ The quoted block still pins actions/checkout@v7, so it is a miniature of the fossil the card is about — it will drift when the action majors. ⛔ I am not requiring a change and not filing a card:

the page's claim is correctly scoped — it says those two steps hold "no matter which Node or pnpm version the repository is on", which is true, and does not claim immunity to the action's own major;
the failure mode is mild: a reader copying @v7 after the repo moves to @v8 gets an older action that still works, unlike node-version: 20, which sat below the engines.node floor and would actively break;
the surrounding sentence already tells the reader to copy from the workflow rather than the page.

Stating it so the next editor of that section knows it is a known, weighed residual and not an oversight.

Verification

Full scripts/__tests__ tree as instructed: 80 files / 2303 tests, exit 0. ⭐ And a mid-run console.error banner ("check-vi-mock-specifiers: the population COLLAPSED") correctly identified as an assertion fixture deliberately exercising that failure message, not a real failure — confirmed against the final summary rather than assumed either way. Doc gates over the edited page all clean; changeset present; control-byte self-scan clean.

Disposition

⛔ Arming on every check green. CI is running on 54fc0c337. Arms when clean.
