cluade-reviewer-andresmgsl 06f05aebec fix(198): the workflow declares and refuses instead of being exempted by name (#198)
@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl's blocker 1 is right and the filename exemption was
the wrong shape. It exempted the whole FILE — any later `gh` call anywhere in
labels.yml would have ridden in free — and it let the merge ship a step that
dies with `command not found` on every sweep on this forge, which #197's bar
does not permit.

The declaration mechanism already existed; a workflow simply could not reach
it. It can: `CEREMONY_FORGE_CLIENT: gh` in the step's env is the same
declaration actions/refs-not-closing carries, and the refusal that a script
gets from forge_preflight is inline here because a workflow has no shell to
call it from. The dispatch now warns by name, cites #205, and exits 0 rather
than reddening every sweep for a known gap.

So the guard needs no exemption list at all. It now requires the pair —
declared AND refusing — and reports a declaration that carries no refusal,
which is a permission slip for `command not found`.

That predicate was wrong on its first write, and its mutation test caught it:
`refuses_when_unavailable` matched the word `forge_preflight` inside
labels.yml's own comment explaining that it has NO forge_preflight to call. A
guard reading prose as evidence is the blind sweep again, in the guard written
to forbid it. Comments are stripped now, as gh_calls already stripped them.

Blocker 4: the nudge strips a trailing slash from the server URL. Reverting the
strip reds two cases.

Blockers 2 and 3 were already fixed in 97e63ac, before either review landed.

test/run.sh 28 files 0 failed under CI's env; shellcheck 0.10.0 (CI's pin),
actionlint, self-ref, marker, vendored and changelog-armed all clean, with
every file tracked this time.

name: labels
# Reusable half of the labels automation. Triggers and permissions live in
# the caller; docs/CONSUMERS.md carries the complete caller stub.
#
# The caller uses pull_request_target, not pull_request: every PR in this
# family arrives from a fork, where pull_request runs with a READ-ONLY token
# and cannot label anything. _target is safe in this workflow because no PR
# code is ever checked out or executed — scope reads changed paths and the
# path mapping via the API and checks out only the ceremony implementation.
# Keep it that way.
#
# The reconcile sweep lived here until #209. Riding the PR-triggered run
# meant every displacement in the sweep's shared concurrency queue recorded
# a CANCELLED `reconcile` check on some PR — read as red CI by every human
# and agent, though the surviving sweep does the displaced run's work. Two
# field facts made that untenable (crew#250): a displaced run cannot be
# rerun — `gh run rerun`, `--failed`, and `--job` all refuse — so a victim
# PR has no manual escape hatch; and the displacing burst is deterministic,
# one `review_requested` event per panelist per request, so every review
# round displaces runs and the rate scales with panel size. The
# sweep now lives in labels-sweep.yml behind its own caller, and the
# trigger job below is its wake: it fires on every event this caller
# subscribes — the exact surface that used to run reconcile directly — so
# the wake latency (#137) is unchanged, while a displaced sweep cancels on
# the Actions tab, attached to no PR. PR checks show scope + trigger only.
#
# This cannot loop: the trigger's dispatch and the reconciler's label
# writes both use GITHUB_TOKEN. GitHub does not create workflow runs from
# GITHUB_TOKEN-raised events — workflow_dispatch and repository_dispatch
# are the two documented exemptions, which is exactly why the trigger can
# wake the sweep with no PAT anywhere in the path — and the sweep itself
# dispatches nothing. Agent writes use a PAT and therefore do trigger —
# exactly the asymmetry wanted.

# actions/labeler@v5 held this seat until #130. Even with
# sync-labels: false it wrote the WHOLE label set — PUT of
# (labels-fetched-at-job-start derived) — so a label applied while
# the job ran was silently removed: ceremony#128 lost its `release`,
# the merge door's declared-intent read, two seconds after the
# builder set it. v6/v7 write the same way, so the step was replaced
# rather than repinned. labels-scope reads the consumer's
# .github/labeler.yml and the changed paths via the API, and its
# only write is an additive POST of the derived scopes: a label
# applied mid-job survives by construction.
#
# Still no PR code: both checkouts below fetch the ceremony
# implementation only. The dogfood checkout rides github.sha — the
# base-branch commit the workflow file itself came from, so the

# bootstrap: ceremony's own labels must work before any release tag
# exists for the pinned checkout to fetch.
