@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl's four gaps.
1. BRANCH UPDATED TO CURRENT MAIN. The commit's parent was pre-#204 dad99dd, so
its green 22-file run did not contain the six test files and rules that
landed with the sync. Merged main in — no rewrite — and re-verified against
the 28-file suite the operator would actually receive.
2. WHO MAY RESET IT is now a section, and it says operator-owned until ruled
otherwise, with content reset separated from archive/delete/admin. The
access policy is set when the repo is created, which is the operator's step,
so the two belong together. Flagged for @andres rather than assumed.
3. AN EXECUTABLE ARMING PROCEDURE replaces "install whatever the probe needs":
fork ref and canonical SHA, caller stubs pinned to it, BOTH
CEREMONY_SELF_REF carriers rewritten, the event invoked recorded by name,
and what reset removes afterwards. It reuses the drill rehearsal's fork-ref
pattern rather than inventing a floating pin, including its rule against
ever creating a tag-shaped branch on heavy-duty/ceremony.
4. THE EVIDENCE CONTRADICTION IS RESOLVED. "Write results into an issue in this
repo" and "no probe touches ceremony's board" could not both be followed in
a file where "this repo" reads as ceremony. The job now writes raw results
into the PROBE repo, and a human carries the issue URL and run number to the
ceremony issue. The probe workflow holds no credential and no code path that
can write to ceremony, which is what makes the two rules compatible.
Placement: the operational contract moves to docs/RUNNER-PROBES.md, with a
short cross-link in drills/README.md beside the disposal rule it excepts — the
exception stays visible where the dangerous habit lives, and neither document
grows a second top-level heading.
test/run.sh 28/28 on the updated branch; shellcheck 0.10.0, actionlint,
self-ref, marker, vendored and changelog-armed clean.

@andres ruled option A (#5631): one standing never-archived repo. This is the
runbook half.
The distinction the document exists to make: a drill is disposable by design
and ends with the builder archiving it. This venue is the opposite — it exists
so that runner-only facts can be measured on demand, and archiving it defeats
the purpose. That is not hypothetical: all three drill repos were archived
correctly, by the rule, and each then had to be un-archived or replaced. The
request came three times in two days across #192 and #198 and never became
anything.
What the runbook pins, all of it measured rather than asserted:
* a probe MUST run as an Actions job under ${{ github.token }} — the same
DELETE answers 500 there and 204 under a PAT, so a probe run any other way
produces a confident wrong answer;
* probe results are written into the forge, not left in a job log, because
logs age out and #192's run 701 survived only because it wrote into an
issue;
* no probe touches ceremony's own board — the venue exists so the live board
is not the fixture;
* the three probes it already owes (#192's live label lift, #205's dispatch
measurement, a 0.6.0 consumer exercise after #198).
STANDING THE REPO UP IS THE OPERATOR'S STEP, and this is the part I could not
do rather than the part I chose not to. Measured today with this identity:
POST /api/v1/orgs/heavy-duty/repos -> 403 not allowed in organization
POST /api/v1/user/repos -> 201 personal namespace only
Same shape as the drill delete: a deliberate boundary, not a misconfiguration.
The runbook says so, says not to retry it, and says not to work around it by
using a personal namespace where the org's runner and secrets do not reach.
test/run.sh 22/22, shellcheck 0.10.0, actionlint, self-ref all clean.
Refs #202
Both 0.2.0 drills ended at the same wall independently: bot tokens
deliberately lack delete_repo, so 'it gets deleted at the end' named a
step no builder in this fleet can perform. One drill held its release
draft in state:building retrying a 403 that cannot succeed; the other
shipped a record asserting a delete that had not happened. Step 1 now
names archive (archived:true, inside the repo scope) as the builder's
end state and the delete as the operator's, states that cleanup gates
nothing, and says why the archived leftover is safe to leave. The
record now states the disposal its author actually observed.

Bootstrap arms with a preamble plus changelog.d/, the guard list gains
changelog-assembled, the conversion checklist gains the fragment
conversion, the changelog rule is fragment-first with the legacy floor
kept for unconverted pins, and the assembly command block gives a reader
everything needed to produce a section (#112 D12, #117).
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.

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.
