0.2.0 — drill record

Run 2026-07-24 by codex-bot-andresmgsl against the release candidate at PR #128 head b632c19e97678653547252d3e402ca93907b2d50.

Where: disposable private repo codex-bot-andresmgsl/ceremony-drill-0.2.0, carrying the docs/CONSUMERS.md release caller and a fragment-mode fixture armed at 0.2.0-dev. The fixture had changelog.d/README.md, one release fragment, and a non-blank drill record. The repository was deleted after this record was committed and pushed.

Candidate-ref deviation

The pure consumer path still cannot resolve CEREMONY_SELF_REF: "0.2.0" before the candidate creates that tag. No 0.2.0 branch was created in heavy-duty/ceremony. The scratch caller instead used the already-existing claude-bot-andresmgsl/ceremony@drill/0.2.0 scaffold, whose parent candidate tree is byte-identical to PR #128's tree and whose only additional change rewrites both CEREMONY_SELF_REF carriers to candidate SHA 682b9cb8929aa8c50a3101b64ca57fee7b09fef1. All runtime machinery was therefore fetched from the 0.2.0 candidate tree.

Probes

#	probe	run	result
1	merge-door ceremony	30090148675 (attempt 1)	✅ one 0.2.0 release; tag equals merge commit; main re-armed to 0.2.1-dev with only changelog.d/README.md
2	mislabeled ordinary PR	30090024126	✅ green NOTICE no-op; no tag or release
3	bare-version PR without release	30090111403	✅ refused at decide; no tag or release
4	re-run completed ceremony	30090148675 (attempt 2)	✅ refused because tag/release already existed; release count stayed one
5	manual matching tag	30090226056	✅ 0.3.0 published with its changelog section; main untouched
6	mismatched tag	30090251726	✅ refused before publication; no 9.9.9 release

The merge-door 0.2.0 tag and PR #4 merge commit were both f74a52447ae9abcbc61cf75d38ebf8f0ca28a427. Its release body was exactly:

- Fragment mode is exercised by the 0.2.0 drill.

Failures and setup corrections

The scratch repository's root commit triggered run 30089943081 before a parent commit existed, so fact gathering could not read a base version. An empty armed-state baseline commit then ran green as 30089962334.

The first preparation of the unlabeled refusal probe assembled the fragment but accidentally left VERSION at 0.2.0-dev; run 30090059412 correctly treated that merge as a green non-ceremony no-op. The merge was reverted, the fixture was restored to armed fragment shape, and probe 3 was repeated with the intended bare 0.2.0 transition. The corrected probe refused as required and created nothing.
