Five fragments assembled into '## 0.5.0 — 2026-08-03' (#205#216#221#224#226); VERSION to bare 0.5.0; the three CEREMONY_SELF_REF carriers
stamped "0.5.0" in this one commit; the panel-rows unreleased marker in
docs/CONSUMERS.md cleared to name 0.5.0; drills/0.5.0.md records the
doors-unchanged ruling with the measurements as they are at 0ac3a6f.
Refs #233.

Consume the two displacement-fix fragments into the 0.4.1 section, stamp
VERSION and every CEREMONY_SELF_REF carrier, and record the doors-unchanged
drill ruling with the candidate-head evidence table.

Stamp 2 is one assembler-produced edit; changelog-armed's rule is stated
mode-first (fragment, then legacy, #112 D7/D8/D9); changelog-assembled
gets its operator section (#116); monotonic records D10; the two rewritten
error strings and the retired re-arm recovery follow (#117).
Round 1's shared blocking catch: release-exercise's call job proves the
parse but executes no steps (both doors are push-gated, by design), and
fixture-chain drives the scripts, not the workflow. The new step-replay
job executes the merge door's early sequence for real — both checkout
shapes including path: .ceremony-src, both branches of the bypass via a
matrix standing in for the repository test, the CEREMONY_DIR wiring, and
facts → decide → notes through genuine $GITHUB_OUTPUT plumbing — against
a fixture tree with a stubbed gh. Wired into PR CI as standing evidence;
PR-only, because a push-to-main workflow_call would hand release.yml the
merge door's exact gate. release.yml's honest-gap paragraph narrows to
what stays untested until #11: the doors themselves.

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.
