Owner

Observed failure

local-fs commits .devwork/ by default. That default was rejected by the user and hand-reverted on
a real project — and because it is a default rather than a declaration, a future /setup run would
silently reverse the fix.

What it needs

A forge: block declaration read by bootstrap_project — e.g. forge.local_fs.commit_devwork: true|false
— so the choice is recorded in the project's CLAUDE.md and survives re-running setup.

Why the shape matters

This is the suite's own rule applied to itself: absence is never a silent default. A hand-edit that
setup can undo is not a decision, it is a temporary state. The fix is not "change the default" — it is
"make it declared".
