Summary
if ! echo "$JUST_CONTENT" | grep -qE '(docs/|scripts/|tools/|...CLAUDE\.md|README|...)'; then
Any plan that mentions "CLAUDE.md" in the Justification section passes this check, regardless of whether it actually explains what CLAUDE.md says about the change. The causal reasoning check (because, therefore, etc.) helps but can also be trivially satisfied.
Motivation
This is probably acceptable — the quality gate is a filter, not a proof. But the known bypass should be documented so future SEPs don't try to make it airtight at the cost of false positives.
Proposed Change
Document the known bypass in the script comments and/or ARCHITECTURE.md. Consider whether a stronger check (e.g., requiring a quote from the cited file) is worth the false-positive risk.
Acceptance Criteria
- Known limitation is documented in script comments
- Decision recorded on whether stronger checking is warranted
- No increase in false positives for legitimate plans
