This is a doc/behavior mismatch.\n\n## Acceptance Criteria\n- `spec/v0/SPEC.md` explicitly states that remote duplex refs reject `--since` (with guidance to use `--tail` or local refs).\n- The options section and/or remote-ref behavior notes are updated to avoid implying `--since` works remotely.\n- No other CLI semantics are changed.\n\n## Validation Gates\n- `just ci-fast`\n","created_at":"2026-02-24T00:40:18.745182Z"}}
