Trim the two comment blocks that re-derived ADR-0019's argument in full
(apm's exact-dict-lookup key matching, and why the PyYAML fallback is not
a hard requirement) down to a short summary plus a pointer at ADR-0019,
which already carries that reasoning verbatim. 231 -> 222 lines.
The hook is kept, not deleted, per the audit's own corrected scope: the
"or drop it" option in SIMPLIFICATION-AUDIT.md finding #2 is off the
table because ADR-0019's Consequences section and the script's own
header both call this failure mode silent, and the ADR says a
silent-staleness failure here is strictly worse than the duplication
this repo's other gates catch.
The dual-reader design (PyYAML preferred, hand-rolled shape-scan
fallback) is also kept as-is: it exists specifically so a missing
python3/PyYAML can't silently skip the check or block every push, which
is exactly the loud-failure guarantee this finding must not weaken. No
genuine redundancy was found in the parsing logic, the per-branch
Why/Fix error messages (each tied to a specific test), or the test
matrix (which verifies the two readers agree across every failure mode)
without cutting something load-bearing -- so those are untouched, and
tests/test-check-executables-allow-sync.sh needed no changes since
script behavior and output are byte-identical.
All 23 tests in tests/test-check-executables-allow-sync.sh pass, and
`pre-commit run check-executables-allow-sync --all-files --hook-stage
pre-push` passes against the real repo state.
