+# Investigation Report: Gochi Hand
+
+## Summary

+Gochi Hand is a handwriting-style typeface designed by Juan Pablo del Peral for Huerta Tipografica, added to Google Fonts on 2011-10-05. The upstream repository is at `https://github.com/librefonts/gochihand`. The repo contains only SFD (FontForge) and VFB sources, making it incompatible with gftools-builder. No config.yaml is possible.

+## Investigation Details
+
+### METADATA.pb (current state on main)
+
+The METADATA.pb on the `main` branch of google/fonts does **not** contain a source block. A source block was added on the branch `sources_info_2026-02-25` (commit `9a14639f3`) but has not yet been merged to main.
+
+Current METADATA.pb fields:
+- name: "Gochi Hand"
+- designer: "Huerta Tipografica"
+- license: OFL
+- category: HANDWRITING
+- date_added: 2011-10-05
+- classifications: DISPLAY, HANDWRITING
+
+### Git History in google/fonts
+
+- **`90abd17b4`** (2015-03-07): Initial commit by Dave Crossland. Added `GochiHand-Regular.ttf`, `DESCRIPTION.en_us.html`, `FONTLOG.txt`, `METADATA.json`, `OFL.txt`.
+- **`480630de3`** (2015-12-08): METADATA.pb textproto created from METADATA.json.
+- **`883939708`** (2016-01-11): METADATA.json removed.
+- **`76adaf1d2`** (2021-11-01): Deploy commit deleted all gochihand files. This was on a non-main branch (`upstream/davelab6-date`, `upstream/gh-pages`).
+- **`633ebadbf`** (2021-12-12): Language support metadata added. This is on main and the TTF file exists on main from the initial commit.
+- **`47a6c224b`** (2023-08-08): Stroke and classifications added.
+- **`9a14639f3`** (2026-02-25): Source block added on branch `sources_info_2026-02-25` (not yet on main).
+
+The font binary has never been updated since the initial commit. The TTF was added in the Initial commit (`90abd17b4`, March 2015) and has not been modified since.
+
+### Upstream Repository
+
+Cached at: `upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/librefonts/gochihand`
+Remote: `https://github.com/librefonts/gochihand`
+
+The repository has exactly **one commit**:
+- `e202a9f4b7cd6f9c84440e684f0a3d0b5dd234e0` (2014-10-17) by hash3g: "update .travis.yml"
+
+This single commit is an initial import that created the entire repository with all files at once. The repo contains:
+- `.travis.yml` (CI config for fontbakery)
+- TTX decomposed tables of the TrueType font
+- `DESCRIPTION.en_us.html`, `FONTLOG.txt`, `METADATA.json`, `OFL.txt`
+- `src/GochiHand-Regular-TTF.sfd` (FontForge SFD source)
+- `src/GochiHand-Regular-OTF.vfb` (FontLab VFB source)
+- TTX decomposed tables of the OTF in `src/`
+
+### Source Files
+
+The only editable source files are:
+- `src/GochiHand-Regular-TTF.sfd` -- FontForge SFD format
+- `src/GochiHand-Regular-OTF.vfb` -- FontLab VFB format (binary, not buildable by gftools)
+
+Neither SFD nor VFB is supported by gftools-builder. There are no `.glyphs`, `.ufo`, or `.designspace` files.
+
+### Commit Hash Verification
+
+The upstream repo has only one commit (`e202a9f`), which is also HEAD. The font was added to google/fonts in the initial commit of that repo (March 2015), after the upstream commit (October 2014). The single commit hash `e202a9f4b7cd6f9c84440e684f0a3d0b5dd234e0` is the correct and only possible reference.
+
+### Config YAML
+
+No config.yaml exists in the upstream repo. No config.yaml can be created because:
+- The source format (SFD/VFB) is not supported by gftools-builder
+- gftools-builder requires `.glyphs`, `.ufo`, or `.designspace` sources
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The upstream repository and commit hash are correctly identified. Since the sources are SFD/VFB only, no config.yaml is possible, and the status should be `no_config_possible`.
+
+### Recommended METADATA.pb source block
+
+```
+source {
+ repository_url: "https://github.com/librefonts/gochihand"
+ commit: "e202a9f4b7cd6f9c84440e684f0a3d0b5dd234e0"
+}
+```
+
+No `config_yaml` field is applicable (SFD-only sources).
