Maintainer direction: this PR's one goal is the versioned layout, the same
one box#79 built and rig#36 ported — the release flow (tags, release.yml,
prebuilt assets, CHANGELOG) is its own PR later, the shape rig#40 has.
So: release.yml, changelog-section.sh, CHANGELOG.md and the asset-aware
installer channels leave this branch, and in their place cast gets the
family layout for real:
- install.sh lands each build at $DEST/versions/<package.json version>,
'current' names the default (atomic rename flips), $BINDIR/cast points
through it. Converging no-op on an installed version (nothing rebuilt),
CAST_REINSTALL=1 replaces, a new version installs beside and becomes
default. Pre-versioning flat installs migrate in place, bit for bit.
CAST_INSTALL_SOURCE=<dir|tarball> installs locally (CI/tests, rig's
RIG_INSTALL_SOURCE precedent). No flip gate: box refuses under live
boxes, rig warns on a converged host — cast is an API client, a flip
strands nothing, 'cast use <old>' is one command away.
- bin/cast grows the layout verbs in bash (they must work when dist/ is
broken): versions (marks current+running), use (atomic flip, then
asserts the chain ANSWERS the new version), uninstall (consent gate,
CURRENT guard, dangling-current guard, ends with the absence assert).
valid_version/pkg_version are byte-identical copies in both files; a
test diffs them so the gates cannot drift.
- cast --version stays: package.json is the single source of truth,
printed with the install root, rig-style.
- ci.yml gains the install job: the real installer, from this checkout,
layout asserted, converge no-op asserted, uninstall --all asserted
absent — the box CI precedent.
- Tests drive the REAL install.sh and bin/cast offline (npm shim, local
source): the layout, the chain answering end to end, no-op/reinstall/
side-by-side/migration semantics, the hostile-version gates, refs/heads
download, every uninstall refusal.

Round-1 blockers, all three reviewers concurring:
- COMMENTED agreement now counts: agreement_signal recognizes the live bots'
durable markers (Verdict: Approve / I agree with everything / leading ✅) —
the gate to needs-human can actually close. Formal verdicts remain the
contract (CONTRIBUTING), this is the documented transitional workaround.
- Every counting verdict is bound to the head SHA; a stale approval parks the
PR in addressing (agent owes re-request) instead of promoting unreviewed
code. CHANGES_REQUESTED blocks at any head, per GitHub's own semantic.
- reconcile serializes under ONE job-level concurrency group; scope stays
per-PR. No more cron-vs-event race on the request-the-human-once guard.
- Sweep resilience: per-PR subshell (one failure logs and continues), label
edits warn instead of wedging; the self-heal claim now matches reality
(dispatch-only bootstrap).
- The state machine is extracted pure (globals in, state out) and sourceable:
test/labels-reconcile.sh proves 14 fixture transitions — comment-only
agreement, stale approval, comment-without-verdict, human precedence and
human-block — wired into CI.

Public tool, private state. cast holds no hostnames, no bindings, no
secrets: it joins a product repo's .infra/ manifest with a state directory
you point it at, and makes Coolify match.
Extracted from heavy-duty/infra, which was half tool and half state — the
inconsistency that made it impossible to say whether "infra" named a CLI
or a runbook. rig builds the boxes; cast fills them; infra is what they
are filled with.
Two changes were required to make it genuinely stateless and publishable:
- The implicit cwd contract (environments.yaml / secrets/ / .coolify.env
resolved against the working directory, silently reading the wrong file
from the wrong place) is now an explicit --state <dir> / $CAST_STATE.
- BANNED_IN_PROD — a hardcoded list of one product's ALLOW_* flags, the
only product knowledge in the executor — becomes the generic, operator-
owned environments.<env>.forbidden_var_patterns. The guard now lives in
private state, so a product-side change cannot lower its own guard, and
it is a pattern rather than a list, so it catches unforeseen siblings.
Age identities resolve as $CAST_AGE_KEY_FILE_<ENV> then
~/.config/cast/age-<env>.key — which is the entire attended-vs-unattended
apply mechanism, with no environment names known to the tool.
Instance identity (org names, the GitHub App name, founder domains) is out
of the fixtures and out of register-github-app.sh, which took APP_NAME and
ORG as arguments rather than baking them in.
69 tests green; bin/cast + curl installer mirror rig's shape.
