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
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.

Bring the published caller stub to the #199 shape in lockstep with
self-labels.yml (preserving the stub<->caller parity #144 established):
hourly cron, issues: [opened, closed], per-trigger why-comments. Rewrite
the adoption prose — 0.2.0 shipped the broad set; #199 narrows it at its
pin bump and supersedes the unreleased edited/reopened additions (#144).

167/175 gain '### Added', 173/178 '### Changed', 180 '### Fixed' — every
bullet byte-identical, headings only (the #158 bar, inverted). CONSUMERS.md
names the sentinel and the flip procedure; changelog.d/README.md names the
sentinel. 182.md is this PR's own fragment, grouped atop the sentinel it
ships.

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.
Closes#144

The three sites called ceremony#32 machinery unreleased after 0.2.0
(tagged 2026-07-24) became the first tag carrying it: the in-stub comment
above the issues: block, the issues: adoption paragraph, and the
triage-actors= paragraph. All three now state availability at 0.2.0 and
later; the 0.1.0-omission guidance and the parse-failure sentence stay —
still true. No type list moves (the caller/stub issues: subset drift is
#144, not this PR).

The reconciler's rule was right and blind: the caller never listened on
review_requested/review_request_removed, so the one event that falsifies
(or restores) blocker:unrequested could not clear it, and a quiet repo
wore the red flag until the advisory cron (#137's timeline: 93 seconds,
cleared only by an unrelated PR's push).
- self-labels.yml + the CONSUMERS.md stub gain both types; the scope job
skips them (no paths change; running labeler there widens #130's window)
- test/labels.test.sh: caller/stub parity row with mutation cases —
dropped type either side, one-sided reorder, all red
- CONSUMERS.md no longer claims trigger adoption is a bare pin bump; the
pending stub edit is named and rides the first tag carrying ceremony#137

Bootstrap arms with a preamble plus changelog.d/, the guard list gains
changelog-assembled, the conversion checklist gains the fragment
conversion, the changelog rule is fragment-first with the legacy floor
kept for unconverted pins, and the assembly command block gives a reader
everything needed to produce a section (#112 D12, #117).
LABELS.md's needs-ruling paragraph gains the bare-flag check and the
markerless 7-day nudge; CONSUMERS.md names them in the labels job and
states the caller stub is unchanged since #18 (a pin bump is the whole
upgrade); one CHANGELOG line under Unreleased (#52).

Round 1 (PR #48): codex-bot flagged the release-only bump described as a
one-line uses change while the same-tag rule two bullets up requires every
reference on one tag — a release-only setup has four (release caller +
three guards), so a one-line bump splits the consumer across versions.
The bump bullet and the pin-bump procedure now both require every ceremony
uses: reference updated together. Also the README called lib/decide.sh a
5-state table; the spec comment and rendered table have six rows.

Extends the existing release-workflow / artifact-hook / labels sections
(from #27 and #39, kept intact) with the remaining adoption guide: the
greenfield bootstrap path, the box/rig/cast conversion checklist, the
exact-tag pinning policy, the portable changelog contributor rule, and
the agent-team-flow adoption checklist with the pin-bump procedure
(docs-sync documented from #19's contract).

The fixture consumer is the workspace root (a uses: step cannot cd);
ceremony rides a subdirectory checkout serving as both the local action
ref and the --source override. CONSUMERS.md gains the wiring, bootstrap,
and pin-bump procedure (#12's section, amended in the same cycle).

Closes#9. .github/workflows/release.yml (workflow_call) replaces box's,
rig's and cast's release.yml: the merge door (facts -> decide -> notes ->
tag+publish+bump, every decision in a tested lib script) and the tag door
(the manual fallback and backfill, no bump). Plus lib/facts.sh (the merge
door's impure half, contract-tested against fixture repos with a stubbed
gh), the self-ref pin guard (.github/scripts/self-ref-check.sh + CI step +
tests), the release-exercise scratch caller (dry wiring), the end-to-end
script-chain rehearsal, and the caller + artifact-hook contracts in
docs/CONSUMERS.md.
