fix(ci): dispatch to .git-private-farm, not the nonexistent dot-git-private-farm - #490

…rivate-farm The repository_dispatch POST targeted repos/hyperpolymath/dot-git-private-farm/dispatches, which returns 404 — the repo is named .git-private-farm. The failure was invisible for two reasons: the call is suffixed `--silent 2>&1 || echo "::warning::..."`, so a 404 degrades to a warning rather than a failure; and the surrounding log strings already said ".git-private-farm", so reading the run log gave no hint the API path differed. cicd-squabbler/instant-sync.yml already uses the dotted name. This severs the first hop of the documented closed loop (gitbot-fleet/inbox-steward -> hypatia/inbox-steward-intake -> farm/inbox-steward-propagate). hypatia carries the same defect; fixed in a companion PR. Docs updated for the same name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…rivate-farm (#720) ## The bug `.github/workflows/inbox-steward-intake.yml:338` POSTs to: ``` /repos/hyperpolymath/dot-git-private-farm/dispatches ``` `hyperpolymath/dot-git-private-farm` **does not exist** (`gh repo view` → 404). The repo is `hyperpolymath/.git-private-farm`. ## Why it stayed invisible Identical to the companion defect in `gitbot-fleet` (see hyperpolymath/gitbot-fleet#490): 1. The call is `>/dev/null 2>&1` with an `::warning::Failed to dispatch to .git-private-farm` fallback — a 404 never fails the run. 2. **The log line immediately above prints the correct name**: `echo "Dispatching to .git-private-farm: ..."`. So the run log tells you it dispatched to `.git-private-farm` while the API path says otherwise. ## Impact Second hop of the loop documented in `.git-private-farm/.github/workflows/inbox-steward-propagate.yml`: ``` gitbot-fleet/inbox-steward → hypatia/inbox-steward-intake → farm/inbox-steward-propagate ``` Both the first and second hops target the nonexistent repo, so the ruleset-update propagation path has never reached the farm. ## Changes - corrected the dispatch target (line 338) - corrected the misleading comment (line 336) Verified: `grep -rn dot-git-private-farm` returns zero hits after the change.

The bug
.github/workflows/inbox-steward.yml:328POSTs arepository_dispatchto:hyperpolymath/dot-git-private-farmdoes not exist — verifiedgh repo view→ 404. The repo ishyperpolymath/.git-private-farm(private, exists).Why nobody noticed
Two things hid it:
--silent 2>&1 || echo "::warning::Dispatch to .git-private-farm failed"— a 404 degrades to an annotation, never a failed run..git-private-farmwhile the API path saysdot-git-private-farm. Reading the run log gives you no reason to suspect the target.cicd-squabbler/.github/workflows/instant-sync.yml:44already uses the dotted name correctly, which is what made the discrepancy findable.Impact
This is the first hop of the closed loop documented at the top of
.git-private-farm/.github/workflows/inbox-steward-propagate.yml:The hop has never worked. (This workflow is currently
