Real 'gh api --jq .[].created_at' on an empty collection emits no lines;
the stub printed a literal '[]', which under byte-wise collation sorts
after ISO-8601 timestamps and poisoned the PR-surface probe's
last_activity. Route the synthesized empty array through the same jq
projection as a present fixture, and pin the test's collation so the
verdict cannot flip with the runner's ambient locale.

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).

Issue side: invariant-1 composition, the reclaim clock stopping under a
pending ruling (with a flag-free reclaim control), the stale heal, label
churn invisible to the activity clock, the surface-level nudge reset, and
no edit anywhere naming the flag. PR side: the wired nudge riding the
stale sweep's activity computation, one nudge across two sweeps, #51's
stale skip intact.

Issue side: the claim-reclaim clock stops under a pending ruling (the
decision still sees an unassigned claim), an already-applied stale heals
off, and reconcile_ruling runs for any flagged issue on any queue state.
PR side: reconcile_ruling rides the (#51) stale section's real-activity
computation. test/ruling.test.sh pins the window boundaries, newest-event
anchoring, per-event marker scoping, the markerless nudge reset, the
unreadable-timeline rule, and that no scenario writes a label.

One implementation for both surfaces: the stale exemption, the bare-flag
mechanical proxy (15-minute back-window against the newest labeled event),
the marker-scoped idempotency, the 7-day nudge with no marker (the comment
is the activity that resets its own window), and the one impure
orchestrator both reconcilers will source.

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).

What a release is (the three stamps, box#108's two-edit rule), the two
doors, the decide table rendered for operators, the three guards with
their incidents, the drill doctrine, the verbatim refusal catalog with
cause and remedy, and the design lineage. Condensed from the box/rig/cast
CONTRIBUTING essays per #1 D8; every workflow-behavior claim links the
line or the spec issue.

Issue #12 writes the doctrine into README.md; the extensionless
placeholder was the 12-byte stub triage's readiness note called out.

drills/0.1.0.md — six probes plus (g), run on the disposable scratch repo
against the candidate SHA, every refusal checked for droppings; the pin
deviation (fork ref, CEREMONY_SELF_REF -> candidate SHA in both carriers)
recorded under its own heading per triage's ruling on #11. drills/README.md
gains the first-release caveat that ruling asked for: the first drill can
never take the pure pinned consumer path, and must not fix that by putting
a tag-shaped branch in the canonical ref namespace.

The ceremony PR — two edits, per the amended #11: VERSION 0.1.0-dev -> 0.1.0,
and the changelog stamp with the re-arm in the same edit (## Unreleased ->
## 0.1.0 — 2026-07-22, an empty ## Unreleased put back on top — box#108).
No third stamp: both CEREMONY_SELF_REF carriers already read "0.1.0", and
self-ref-check's bare-tree rule wants exactly that. drills/0.1.0.md follows
once the rehearsal runs.

VERSION at 0.1.0-dev, the armed CHANGELOG.md, drills/README.md (what a
drill means here), the self-callers (self-release.yml, self-labels.yml —
local uses:, the one form consumers must never copy), .github/labeler.yml
for the scope job, and the three self-guards in CI. labels.yml gains the
self-consumption bypass (release.yml's twin) so the label bootstrap can run
before any release tag exists; action-exercise's armed/drill-recorded
scratch steps move to self-guards per their own eviction note.

Round 1 (PR #43): codex-bot + kimi-bot reproduced cp writing through a
committed symlink and cmp/find resolving through or skipping link nodes —
both modes now refuse any non-regular node (.ceremony itself, anything
under it, the root AGENTS.md incl. dangling links and non-file nodes)
before touching the tree. kimi-bot also found .ceremony/README.md was
machine-written but never machine-verified: --check now cmps it against
the generated text (missing or drifted -> red). 22 regression rows; every
symlink row asserts the victim untouched.

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).

Fake source trees (not the real five docs) so a hardcoded list fails;
consumer trees per pin shape, including the commented-pin row ceremony's
own release.yml header motivates. Also fixes the EXIT-trap exit-status
clobber the smoke run surfaced.

The materialization machinery for doctrine (issue #19): docs are vendored
into consumers at .ceremony/, machine-written (--fix) and machine-verified
(--check), keyed on the single release.yml pin line.
