Panel-unanimous batch that was staged unpushed on 57abe15 (#4853):
- forge_timeline: project Forgejo label events into the GitHub shape
so the ruling ladder fires on this forge (measured mapping #4849)
- forge_pr_activity: stop calling /pulls/{n}/comments (404 here); use
reviews with comments_count > 0 for inline comments (#4844)
- ci.yml: install shellcheck before lint, mirroring actionlint — the
act-22.04 runner image does not ship it
Status captured before jq so an unreadable timeline cannot report empty.
Found by running ceremony's own CI at 9357f09 on a real Forgejo runner
rather than reasoning about it.
`label` is a reserved word in jq's grammar (`label $out | … | break $out`),
so jq **1.6** rejects `$label` outright:
jq: error: syntax error, unexpected label, expecting IDENT
jq 1.7 parses it, which is why this survived: GitHub's hosted ubuntu-latest
ships 1.7, and ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-22.04 — the image this
instance maps ubuntu-latest to — ships 1.6. So parse_labeler_config died on
a compile error before it read a byte of config, and EVERY scope derivation
on this forge failed. Renamed to $lbl in the jq program only; the bash
locals keep their names.
Also makes test/forge.test.sh hermetic. Its "github + gh passes" case
depended on gh being on the HOST's PATH, so it passed on a developer box and
failed in the runner image, which has no gh. The preflight cases now run
against stub binaries, and the missing-binary refusal gets its own arm on a
PATH carrying the shell and text tools but no clients — the condition under
test, rather than whatever the machine happens to have.
Verified in both environments: local (jq 1.7, gh present) and the runner
image (jq 1.6, no gh) — shellcheck 0, 22 files 0 failed in each.
Refs #188
Term 4. GitHub clears requested_reviewers when a verdict lands, so the field
answers "who still owes a verdict" by itself. Forgejo never clears it —
measured: rig!140 listed all three panelists with all three verdicts in, and
rig!146 still lists three while MERGED, so the field is stale even on a
closed PR.
Read raw on Forgejo that is not a cosmetic over-count. `requested` drives
three decisions, and a permanently-true field pins a PR at
state:bots-reviewing for life and stops blocker:unrequested from ever being
true: the sweep believes a round is live forever and no staleness can
correct it.
So the requested set is intersected with who has NOT submitted a verdict for
the current head, derived from /pulls/{n}/reviews — the read that is true on
both forges. On GitHub the filter removes nothing, because the field is
already accurate; term 5 holds by construction rather than by care.
A STALE approval — an approval of an older head — still owes a verdict. That
is the case that matters: treating it as answered would let a stale round
read as complete, which is the shape #136 exists to prevent.
Mutation-verified both ways: reading the field raw again reds three cases,
and treating STALE as answered reds two.
Also documents @grok-reviewer-andresmgsl's ask (#4763): every panel= account
must be able to read the repo, or the forge refuses the review request —
422 naming the account on Forgejo. A real failure mode for private
consumers, and it fails loudly rather than sweeping blind.
Refs #188
Term 1's foundation. lib/forge.sh gains forge_select, which sources exactly
one of lib/forge-github.sh or lib/forge-forgejo.sh; both define the same
verbs, so no branching reaches the 61 call sites. The github backend is the
current gh invocation extracted 1:1 — term 5 is kept by making that path
boring.
The page size moves OUT of the call sites and into the backend, because it
is not portable and fails silently. Measured 2026-08-02:
?per_page=100 GitHub 100 items Forgejo 30 items (ignored)
?limit=100 GitHub 30 items Forgejo 50 items (capped)
Both answer HTTP 200 with valid JSON. Every call site here is GitHub-shaped,
so a verbatim port would have swept 30 of rig's 137 issues and printed
"reconciled." — criterion 2 failing green, the same failure class as the
blind sweep. Both page_url helpers strip a stray page-size parameter in
either dialect, so a call site cannot reintroduce it by accident.
Forgejo caps a page at 50 whatever is asked, so pagination is mandatory, not
an optimisation. The gather is then PROVEN complete against x-total-count
rather than assumed complete because a loop ended.
@kimi-reviewer-andresmgsl's hardening (#4699): a missing x-total-count is
itself a loud refusal. Header exposure is a server setting, and an assert
that cannot run must not silently pass — that is the failure class
re-entering through the guard built to stop it.
Call sites are not ported yet; that is the next commit.
Refs #188
Term 3 of #188. Forgejo has no GraphQL API, so these two gathers could not
be translated — there is no endpoint to translate them to. A real
forgejo-runner job says so from the other side: GITHUB_GRAPHQL_URL arrives
set to the empty string (probe task 278).
MERGED_REF_PR_RECORDS was already a body parse; GraphQL was buying
pagination, nothing semantic. OPEN_PR_ISSUES used GitHub's own parse of the
closing keywords, so it becomes lib/closes_references.sh — a sibling of
refs_references, sharing its LOCAL/CROSS classifier so rig#112 can still
never be read as local #112 (#61).
Both gathers now read /pulls, which /api/v3 and /api/v1 return in the same
shape (measured on both). merged_at replaces GraphQL's states: MERGED.
Bodies travel base64: jq's @tsv escapes a newline to a literal backslash-n,
which a line parser reads as one line and loses every declaration after the
first.
The accepted delta, written down rather than rediscovered: GitHub also
records closing links attached through the PR development sidebar, which
live in no body. This family declares links in the body, so the delta is
zero here.
Refs #188
The preflight half of #188, landed first so it stands alone: the forge is
decided once, before any sweep, and a client that cannot speak it exits
non-zero with a named reason.
Measured against forgejo.heavyduty.builders at 84bb1a4 — two of the three
actions reported SUCCESS having read nothing:
labels-scope exit 0 "no .github/labeler.yml" (the file is HTTP 200)
labels-reconcile exit 0 "reconciled." (zero PRs enumerated)
issueflow-reconcile exit 1 "unexpected end of JSON input"
labels-reconcile's blind-sweep warning (#96) could not fire: it counts
unreadable PRs against a list `gh pr list` never produced, and a process
substitution's failure does not trip set -e, so total stayed 0. Installing
gh makes it worse, silencing the one loud failure.
Detection is measured, not inferred from docs: a real forgejo-runner v6.3.1
job (probe task 278) shows Forgejo populating the whole GITHUB_* namespace,
so GITHUB_ACTIONS proves nothing. GITHUB_API_URL's shape, GITEA_ACTIONS and
GITHUB_SERVER_URL do. The same probe shows the runner image carries neither
gh nor stoke, which is what makes the forgejo backend REST.
Tests declare CEREMONY_FORGE at the forge boundary rather than stubbing gh
and staying silent about the forge — the boundary move term 5 asks for.
Refs #188
The trigger comments, CONSUMERS stub, changelog, and reusable labels.yml
comment said "events carry every real state change in seconds; the cron
only backstops a forgotten handoff." That is backwards: no subscribed
event wakes this sweep for a review verdict landing (no pull_request_review
trigger), blocker:ci-red set/cleared, blocker:conflict when another PR
merges, or the time-based stale/48h-reclaim. The hourly cron is the sole
discovery path for those four classes, not a forgotten-handoff net —
so the comments now name them and warn against deleting the cron (AC5).
codex-2 / kimi-2 (both blocking, round 2 @0a812c4b).
Round fixes on #200.
codex-1 (blocking): the issues narrowing dropped `edited`/`reopened`, but both
carry a queue-state change an event uniquely carries — `edited` a body rewrite
of the `Blocked by #N` declaration the sweep parses
(issueflow-reconcile.sh:179), `reopened` a closed issue re-entering the queue.
Dropping them tripped #199's must-fail. Narrow to
`[opened, closed, edited, reopened]`, dropping only the churn/validation
actions labeled/unlabeled/assigned/unassigned. Trigger tests now pin
edited/reopened present and the four dropped; labels.test.sh exact-list updated.
kimi (blocking): the "supersedes unreleased #144" prose was false — #144's
edited/reopened shipped in 0.3.0. Dissolved: we now keep them. CONSUMERS prose
rewritten to the real version history (0.2.0 #32 / 0.3.0 #144 / #199 narrows),
and the #137 review-request line corrected from "unreleased" to shipped-in-0.3.0.
kimi (non-blocking): reusable labels.yml comment no longer cites */15.
codex-2 (AC1 after-measurement / closing) escalated to triage on #199 — held,
not guessed.

The advisory */15 cron fired a full-board sweep four times an hour at
GitHub's 1-minute billing floor; events carry real state changes in
seconds, so the cron only backstops a forgotten handoff. Relax it to
hourly and narrow the issues: trigger to [opened, closed] — the two
actions with promptness-critical reconcile behavior — dropping the
labeled/unlabeled churn source. Per-trigger why-comments added.

Refs #189. Round 1 on #191 (codex blocking, kimi nit).
codex caught that advancing the stamp to crew@4da17c4 made the attention
section false. It did, and the error is mine in kind, not only in detail: a
reconciliation stamp is a claim about the WHOLE file against that tree, and I
audited only the ci-red surface across a 17-commit advance. That is the #187
failure mode, on the PR that closes#189.
What was false at the pinned SHA, all from the crew#66 ruling (danmt,
2026-07-27) landing in d578150e:
- "One wake is registry-independent, by design: attention" — no wake is
exempt now. _attention_partition splits rows against the registry; OUT rows
are reported and never acted on.
- "the assignment is what carries the authorization — there is nothing here
for a repo list to scope" — this is the position the ruling REJECTED. The
cost was argued first: a cross-repo handoff now waits on an operator adding
the repo, which is why an out-of-scope demand also pings the operator over
the boot-gate channel rather than only reaching duty.log.
- "a fix that bounds this wake to the registry would re-create the #16
incident" — that fix landed, with the ping as its mitigation.
- The parenthetical calling crew's repos-default.txt header a contradiction
"raised there as a discussion" — the discussion is crew#66, it was ruled,
and crew's header now names the attention wake explicitly. This file was
preserving the losing side of a settled question.
Also in range and owned by this section: d849f166 ledgered the wake, so
"a session that dies before acking is relaunched; that is the whole
crash-recovery story" no longer is. Dying relaunches; COMPLETING without
acking is a decline, and the ledger stops it re-firing until the issue
moves. Meaning, not mechanism, so it belongs here.
Re-audited the rest of the advance rather than spot-fixing: fleet.roster
still declares itself the TARGET environment (the roster paragraph holds),
and the roster/install commits touch role resolution inside crew, which this
file does not describe.
kimi's nit, which the earlier rewrite made mine: the paper inventory counted
one row while the triage-signals bullet marks a second. Both are needs-ruling
rows and both are now named — a number that has to be recounted every time a
wake lands is the thing that went wrong.
18/18 test files; changelog_fragment_problem OK; shellcheck, self-ref and
git diff --check clean.

Refs #189 — the post-merge, triage-owned task, now reachable: heavy-duty/crew#64
merged at 4da17c49594c2d86bd3793fa3567846cbca38e90.
#190 wrote the ci-red wake into FLEET.md deliberately marked on paper, per this
file's convention for a spec that is not yet running, and left the reconciliation
stamp at crew@01fb49c because advancing it to a SHA that did not carry the wake
would be the drift #187 exists to remove. crew#64 has merged, so both halves flip:
- The stamp advances to crew@4da17c4, and every crew permalink in the file with
it. A stamp and its evidence links naming different trees is worse than no
stamp: the reader diffs the wrong engine and finds no drift because the tree
they were pointed at is the one the prose was written against.
- The four on-paper markers go: the duty-order caveat, the ci-red bullet's
parenthetical, the Build bullet's "once ci-red deploys", and the closing
paper inventory — which now names one remaining paper wake, the notifier's
needs-ruling queue, not two.
The Build bullet is not a pure marker removal. crew#64's last review round
changed what it has to say: the operator ruled the round gate a whitelist, so
the wake admits a green head OR one with no checks configured, and holds a red
head AND one whose check has not finished. Copying the old "never a round at a
red head" through the flip would have shipped a fresh inaccuracy on the same
commit that claims the file is reconciled. The ci-red bullet gains the matching
sentence from the other side: an unfinished check is not a red head and wakes
nothing, because nothing has failed yet.
Verified at the stamped SHA rather than assumed: duty.sh's header carries
attention → … → resume → ci-red → build (and says it is what this file is
reconciled against), shared/README.md's duty order matches, and notify.sh's
only label filter is still state:needs-human — which is what keeps the
remaining paper claim true.
18/18 test files pass; changelog_fragment_problem OK (it caught a 387-char
entry against the 300 bound, now split); shellcheck, actionlint self-ref and
git diff --check clean.

The round protocol told the author to re-request exactly the reviewers
who did not approve, but the handoff predicate counts an approval only
at the current head: any push while answering a round staled the
earlier approver's verdict, doctrine said not to re-request them, and
the PR could never converge — the silent-stall shape of #26/#39.
Step 2 now re-requests by head, not by verdict: every panelist after a
push, the non-approvers alone at an unchanged head. Shape 2's wording
is aligned so the two paragraphs agree.
Defect raised by dan-claude-bot on #190; folded in at the operator's
direction while the paragraph is open. Refs #189.

FLEET.md gains the ci-red wake between resume and build in crew#64's
engine position, marked on paper per this file's existing convention (the
notifier queue, triage's past-24h wake); the Build bullet records the
red-head exclusion as reported-not-swallowed; the reconciliation stamp
stays at crew@01fb49c because crew#64 has not merged.

The two scope passages said the opposite of merged behaviour: a reviewer's
registry was 'the org itself' and 'no repo filter may gate' a request.
duty-review.sh implements repos.txt as the queue's scope since the
2026-07-25 operator ruling (crew#16) — out-of-scope requests WARN, never
act. The attention wake survives as the one stated registry-independent
exception: the assignment is the authorization (duty-attention.sh).
Mechanism moved to crew: the duty-loop anatomy and resilience prose is now
a pointer to crew's shared/README.md, folding the two drifted facts (cron
runs tick.sh; hygiene self-schedules inside the duty tick). Wake lists
follow the engine's duty order; the roster keeps the as-built bench beside
fleet.roster's target with the delta stated; stamp updated to crew@01fb49c.

Binding to the first marker occurrence dropped every later sentence of a
repeated declaration and let earlier prose hijack the parse — the false
ready promotion on rig#154. Each occurrence now contributes its own
clause, terminated at its own first ./; (unterminated -> end of input),
and the union feeds the unchanged classification and decision table.

During the ceremony#111 freeze, rig#126/#128 carried blocked beside
state:needs-human — the round had finished, but the hold said the merge
must not happen, and rig#126 was merged seven minutes after the
reconciler wrote the green label. decide_state() only joined the two
axes through blockers(), which emits branch facts; the hand-set blocked
label was never consulted.
blocked becomes the second exclusion on state:needs-human, exactly
parallel to needs-ruling: round says needs-human + has_label blocked ->
state:addressing. Deliberately not a blockers() emission — BLOCKERS is
machine-owned and the converge loop would strip the live hold on the
next tick, the same trap #51 names for needs-ruling.

The park contract said declared-never-inferred but not that the
declaration stands, so a conservative builder re-declared every ~5
minutes — rig#145 collected 38 identical resumption audits in one
night. Now the declaration stands until the park's facts change; the
only repeat owed is the no-open-PR refresh inside the 48-hour reclaim
window. Decided on #177.

BUILDER.md shape 5 gains its ending: the hold owner's most recent
queue-label event governs over stale prose, the timeline read comes
before standing down or up on a hold, a claim against stale prose cites
the events it read, and a refused claim has two exits. TRIAGE.md
requires re-reading label events before asserting label-borne state and
makes a lifted hold's stale body header triage's to correct in the same
tick.

The Reviewers bullet stated a gh-search request trigger and a sequential
first-this-second-that ordering; all four reviewer boxes actually run an
org-wide pulls-API requested_reviewers sweep merged with the repos.txt
backstop, deduplicated by (repo, PR) before acting (crew@b2fd864). The
on-paper list narrows to the notifier's needs-ruling queue, repos.txt is
the registry only on the triage box, and the Status block now carries the
crew ref this description was last reconciled against.
Part of the drift #148 reported; spec and citations in #149.

Merging #143 auto-closed #137 with a post-merge criterion unmet: the PR
carried Closes#137 as doctrine required, the criterion could only be
checked after the merge, and the contract was silent on the disagreement
between GitHub's keyword and the pipeline's close authority — the same
disagreement the cross-repo carve-out already resolved, one case over.
BUILDER.md gains the second exception beside the first: when the issue
body marks a criterion post-merge, the same-repo PR uses Refs #N and
triage closes by hand on the evidence. TRIAGE.md makes the criterion
carry its own mechanism; REVIEWER.md lists Refs #N as a spec pointer and
stops treating the reference-only PR as a defect; CONTRIBUTING.md points
at the one home instead of restating. No machinery, no label (#151 D5).

The stub published [opened, labeled, unlabeled, assigned, unassigned,
closed] while ceremony's own caller listens on eight types — PR #32's
70db91f widened the caller by edited and reopened and the stub never
followed. Both are load-bearing: an edited body rewrites the Blocked-by
declaration the reconcile sweep parses, and a reopened issue re-enters
the queue wearing labels derived at close (#144).
The stub's list is now byte-identical to the caller's, a parity row in
test/labels.test.sh keeps it that way (red on a dropped type, a drift,
or a reorder in one file only), and one adoption note names the tag the
widened list rides in on. The caller does not narrow.

Both 0.2.0 drills ended at the same wall independently: bot tokens
deliberately lack delete_repo, so 'it gets deleted at the end' named a
step no builder in this fleet can perform. One drill held its release
draft in state:building retrying a 403 that cannot succeed; the other
shipped a record asserting a delete that had not happened. Step 1 now
names archive (archived:true, inside the repo scope) as the builder's
end state and the delete as the operator's, states that cleanup gates
nothing, and says why the archived leftover is safe to leave. The
record now states the disposal its author actually observed.
