Reality handoff: deliver ScanCode #2207 behavior receipt upstream #129

Goal

Hand the existing independent CounterProof behavior receipt back to the maintainers of:

• fix: make the input location optional in the run command aboutcode-org/scancode.io#2207

The technical evidence is already complete.

Evidence

Exact candidates:

• BASE: 41868632dcaba1ad9b6402d114b169564c08d121
• HEAD: f71185995aee043e2e9acfd31028501f23992aea

Exact submitted test:

scanpipe.tests.test_commands.ScanPipeManagementCommandTest.test_scanpipe_management_command_run_without_input_location

Observed:

HEAD → PASS

BASE + exact submitted HEAD test → FAIL

django.core.management.base.CommandError:
Error: the following arguments are required: input_location

Trusted run:

https://github.com/hippoley/CounterProof/actions/runs/36373412716

Reviewer-facing handoff:

https://github.com/hippoley/CounterProof/blob/main/reality/scancode-2207/MAINTAINER_HANDOFF.md

Machine receipt:

https://github.com/hippoley/CounterProof/blob/main/examples/claim_matrix/receipts/scancode-2207-behavior.json

Outbound attempt

On 2026-10-07, CounterProof attempted to post the maintainer-facing summary directly to ScanCode.io #2207 through the connected GitHub integration.

Result:

403 Resource not accessible by integration

This is a connector permission boundary, not maintainer feedback and not a negative adoption signal.

Ready-to-post comment

For reviewer context, I independently replayed the exact submitted regression test against the exact PR candidates in ScanCode.io's PostgreSQL/Django test shape.

• HEAD f71185995aee043e2e9acfd31028501f23992aea: PASS
• BASE 41868632dcaba1ad9b6402d114b169564c08d121 with the same submitted test transplanted unchanged: FAIL
• BASE failure: django.core.management.base.CommandError: Error: the following arguments are required: input_location

Exact test:

scanpipe.tests.test_commands.ScanPipeManagementCommandTest.test_scanpipe_management_command_run_without_input_location

So this does witness the specific before/after behavior claim: the submitted test distinguishes HEAD from BASE because BASE still requires input_location. It does not say anything about unrelated compatibility or whether the PR should merge.

Completion condition

Close this issue only when one of these is true:

1. the comment is successfully posted upstream, or
2. an equivalent maintainer-facing evidence handoff is delivered through another permitted path.

Do not count this issue itself as adoption.
