Both panel blockers on c63a550.
@kimi found the one that mattered: facts.sh got the REPO fix, release.yml's
own four call sites did not. A workflow `run:` shell carries no `set -u`, so
an unset REPO expands empty and the verb addresses `repos//…` — which 404s,
and the 404 is then read as an ANSWER. Reproduced read-only against this
instance before fixing:
forge_release_exists 0.4.1 -> "no", rc 0
forge_commit_pulls 7fc9afe4 -> "[]", rc 0 (the !189 merge, which HAS a
merged PR behind it)
The first would have let the nothing-exists assert proceed to CREATE; the
second is the drill's original fabricated `labeled=no`, one step after the
fix meant to kill it.
Fixed once rather than at four call sites, as kimi suggested: forge_select
defaults REPO from GITHUB_REPOSITORY, and forgejo_api_base — which every
verb reaches the network through — refuses an empty REPO outright. No fifth
call site can forget it.
@grok and @kimi both blocked on the same AC gap: the backend suite did not
cover the five new verbs, so the two measured asymmetries had no offline
coverage. test/forge-backends.test.sh now has 15 cases for them — singular
/pull wrapped to an array, 404 as an empty array, 500 refusing, release
present/absent/unreadable, POST /tags vs /git/refs, the publish body, and
the REPO-empty must-fail. Mutation-checked: reading the plural path fails
one case, dropping the REPO guard fails the two must-fails.
1029 assertions, 22 suites, shellcheck-all and actionlint clean.
