kimi-reviewer-andresmgsl is temporarily unavailable, and with a three-identity
panel it sits in the required set for every possible author — so no new PR
could converge while it is down. glm-reviewer-andresmgsl takes the seat.
The roster guard from #195 is bidirectional, so three files move together:
the conf, CONTRIBUTING's table, and the test's table-side mutation, which
must name an identity the table carries or it stops testing anything.

'By decision rather than omission' published a back-tagging ruling that
belongs to the operator and has not been made. The fragment's authorized
scope is the measured gap, which the first two entries state
(@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl, !221 review).

Three Changed entries naming what a reader comparing the two forges' tags
would otherwise reconstruct: 0.5.0/0.6.0 arrived by merge and were never
released here; the carried ## 0.6.0 section is upstream's record; and the
absent 0.6.0 tag is a decision, not an omission. Verified: eleven fragments
assemble cleanly with these entries present, shape/cite guards green.
Refs #220
The venue drill caught what no hermetic test had: with the workflow_call
bridge delivering "no" perfectly, drill runs 16/17 still bootstrapped. The
script gated on GITHUB_EVENT_NAME = workflow_dispatch and never read
$BOOTSTRAP at all; the wrapper's only coupling was exporting the event name
for yes. Correct while an operator's manual dispatch was the only dispatch
there was — inert from #209 on, when the trigger job made every machine wake
a workflow_dispatch event. Runs 459/523 bootstrapped for this reason, not
for the input-delivery defect, which is real but was never the operative
cause of the observed re-upserts.
The script now gates on ${BOOTSTRAP:-no} = yes; the wrapper passes the input
through untouched; the hermetic suite pins the exact regression pair (a
dispatch event with no/unset creates and deletes nothing) alongside the
yes path's full create+delete assertions.
Refs #215
The evidence shows the called workflow did not see the caller's event inputs
on THIS instance while the top level received them (runs 459/523 vs probe
6/7); it does not show what GitHub or a declared-and-passed input does, so
every prose site now states declare-and-pass as the measured-reliable channel
rather than attributing a drop to Forgejo (@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl, !218
blocker 2).
Refs #215
A called workflow cannot read the caller's dispatch inputs on this forge:
github.event.inputs is empty inside workflow_call even though the top-level
caller receives the value in both contexts (probe runs 6/7). The sweep's gate
read exactly that, so every dispatch-woken sweep bootstrapped — runs 459 and
523, ~20 label upserts per board event — while the trigger honestly logged
bootstrap=no.
The bridge, per the #6361 contract: labels-sweep.yml declares
workflow_call.inputs.bootstrap (string, default "no"); the dogfood caller and
the published CONSUMERS.md stub pass it via with.bootstrap with empty mapped
to "no" at the caller — kimi's edge: on schedule the top-level context is
empty, and an empty that slipped through would have turned every cron into a
bootstrap. The gate feeds the declared input to labels-reconcile unchanged,
so an invalid value meets the action's own yes|no refusal.
test/labels-bootstrap.test.sh pins every hop: the declared boundary, both
gates as the identity, no expression reading github.event.inputs (scoped to
${{ }} bodies — the file's prose names the context to explain it), the two
pass-throughs byte-exact, and the four value paths driven through the shipped
expressions into the action's real validator. Mutations: dropping the
declaration reds 4, dropping the pass-through reds 3, restoring the old gate
reds 2.

Four corrections from @codex-reviewer-andresmgsl on 9c17a9e:
- changelog.d/202.md keeps !207's merged Added section (my cat > had deleted
64 lines of unreleased release notes) with the drills appended under Changed;
- run 1 and run 4 link their own probe issues — run 4 is the clean repeat
after the redaction incident and deserves its own citation;
- the #205 record links the evidence per identity and drops the pseudo-JSON,
claiming only what the cited runs measured;
- the security lesson states the real invariant: report content must never
contain a credential expression OR value — variables are not laundering.
Refs #202
The owed-probes list keeps delivered probes with their probe-issue URLs: a
claim like 'the asymmetry reproduces' should carry a link a reader can open.
Also corrects the #205 line's premise (the 500 was a bad-ref/unknown-workflow
diagnostic, not a broken route) and adds the two venue lessons the first
drills taught.
Refs #202
Three corrections from @codex-reviewer-andresmgsl's review of 935a813.
1. `api="${GITHUB_API_URL:-https://api.github.com}"` guessed GitHub when the
variable was absent — driven with a recording curl, it reported success
after POSTing to api.github.com from this forge. That is the "Never
'probably github'" rule, and the same unset-environment refusal #201 just
established for docs-sync. It now refuses before any request, and the test
asserts zero calls were made: refusing after a POST is not refusing.
2. The "never silenced with || true" invariant was still asserted by grepping
the gh line this port removed, so it passed on any REST implementation
including one that swallows a failed POST. It is rebound behaviourally: a
curl that dies at the transport must fail the step. Doing that revealed the
step failed with a bare exit 7 and no sentence, so it now names the failure
— owning the diagnostic is the whole point of the surrounding code.
3. docs/CONSUMERS.md and both caller comments still described `gh workflow
run` as the mechanism. They describe the REST dispatch now, and the manual
bootstrap command carries a forge-neutral curl form beside the gh one: a
cross-forge runbook that sends this forge to a missing binary is wrong even
where the prose around it is right.
Refs #205
The action's entire gather was one GraphQL query asking GitHub for its own
parse of the closing keywords. Forgejo serves no GraphQL at all — /api/graphql
404s here and a forgejo-runner job arrives with GITHUB_GRAPHQL_URL empty — so
there was nothing to translate it to. It is re-expressed, as #188 re-expressed
its own two GraphQL sites, over two reads both backends serve plus this repo's
own parser.
The graph was called authoritative for including "closing keywords and sidebar
links". Those halves resolve differently here: Forgejo has no sidebar-link
concept, so nothing is lost there, but it DOES honour closing keywords in
commit messages. A body-only port would miss a PR that closes an issue from a
commit subject — exactly the contradiction this action exists to catch — so
the closing set unions the body and every commit message.
The hasNextPage refusal is relocated, not dropped: --paginate carries the
forgejo backend's x-total-count completeness proof, and a short gather refuses
rather than returning a partial verdict.
lib/issue_references.sh extracts the LOCAL/CROSS classifier from
issueflow-reconcile's executable. closes_references.sh's header recorded that
dependency in prose; a composite action cannot source a reconciler to borrow
one function, because sourcing a reconciler runs one.
refs-guard.yml's github-only gate is removed in the same change. A portable
action behind that gate is a guard that passes by never running.
The contract test drives the boundary on BOTH backends with stubs at the
transport. Mutations: body-only parse reds 4 cases, dropping --paginate reds
the partial-gather case, ignoring a failed read reds 9.
Refs #199
`.github/workflows/labels.yml` dispatched the sweep with `gh workflow run`,
the eighth runtime gh call site the 0.6.0 merge reintroduced and the only one
!204 did not port. On this forge the runner carries neither gh nor a GitHub
API, so the step refused and the entire event-driven reconcile path ended
there — every transition waiting up to an hour for the scheduled sweep.
The workflow-dispatch endpoint has the SAME shape on both forges:
POST {api}/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{file}/dispatches
{"ref": "<branch>", "inputs": {...}} -> 204, empty body
so the step no longer decides a forge at all. The CEREMONY_FORGE_CLIENT=gh
declaration and both inline refusals are removed rather than ported, and
test/no-runtime-gh.test.sh now asserts their ABSENCE — an opt-out with no gh
behind it is a standing permission slip.
The ref is supplied explicitly and taken from the repository, never from
GITHUB_REF_NAME: on a pull_request_target run that is `<n>/merge`, which is
not a branch. A non-204 still fails the job, keeping the misconfiguration
alarm the trigger exists to be, and the diagnostic explains Forgejo's empty
500 rather than passing a bare status to a reader who will go looking for an
outage that is not there.
test/labels-dispatch.test.sh extracts the shipped step and executes it against
a recording stub, asserting the method, endpoint, ref and inputs actually
sent. Dropping the inputs or ignoring a non-204 both red the suite.

@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl, and he linted the published snippets DIRECTLY,
which my "parse, lint clean" claim had never meant.
1. THE CHECKER DID NOT CHECK THE TARGET. It accepted <fork> <code-sha>
<armed-sha> and used none of them — SC2034 on all three, which is the same
defect the linter and the reviewer found independently. It proved only
"tree equals manifest", so a manifest generated with the ARMED sha where the
candidate belonged, against a tree rewritten to that same wrong value,
passed. Wrong-but-consistent is exactly what this gate exists to reject.
Each manifest `want` is now validated against the independently supplied
target before the tree is compared to it.
2. ONE ORDER, NOT TWO. Step 2 said "commit the arming AND write the manifest"
while the prose below correctly said to generate from the PRE-arming tree.
The manifest enumerates the carriers that must CHANGE, so it has to see them
before they do — generating afterwards enumerates rewritten rows and loses
the canonical internal-checkout ones entirely. The generator's first
parameter is <candidate-checkout> now, and says so.
3. THE SNIPPETS LINT CLEAN STANDALONE. SC2016 needed a scoped directive — and
the first placement was itself invalid: SC1124, a directive may precede a
complete command, not an individual case branch. The checker's mktemp gets
a trap.
Driven, the new controls:
correct manifest + tree + target args passes
wrong fork, manifest AND tree consistent refuses
wrong candidate sha, consistent refuses
armed sha where the candidate belongs refuses
plus every earlier class still red, and both snippets ShellCheck-clean when
extracted as an operator would copy them.

@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl drove the published commands again and found three.
1. THE GENERATOR ABORTED ON AN ABSENT CALLER CLASS — the same `set -e` +
`git grep` no-match bug I had just fixed in the CHECKER, in the generator I
wrote in the same commit and did not apply the lesson to. A probe that
exercises one layer produced no manifest and no diagnostic. `|| true` on
every extraction, plus an explicit count so ZERO ceremony callers refuses by
name while workflow-only and action-only probes generate valid manifests.
That count check was itself broken on its first write: `grep -E '\t…'` reads
a literal `t`, not a tab, so it counted zero on a perfectly good manifest
and refused it. Found by running it.
2. CALLERS CARRY THE COMPLETE COORDINATE. The manifest stored only the sha and
the checker compared owner and suffix separately, so
`<fork>/actions/WRONG-ONE@<right-sha>` passed. The manifest now records
`<fork>/<path>@<sha>` and every kind is one exact comparison — which also
removes the per-kind branch that made the omission possible.
3. GENERATOR AND CHECKER SHARE ONE DOMAIN. `actual` extracted every `uses:`
while the generator manifested only ceremony patterns, so a legitimate
`actions/checkout` was always an unrecognised carrier. Both are restricted
to ceremony callers; a wrong OWNER is still caught because
`wrong-owner/ceremony/...` is still a ceremony caller.
And the stale fragment wording, which glm flagged and codex re-flagged:
"both CEREMONY_SELF_REF values" -> "every".
DRIVEN, all of it:
generator: both / workflow-only / action-only -> valid manifests
generator: zero ceremony callers -> refuses by name
deletion, role swap x2, wrong owner, wrong sha,
wrong path, deleted caller class, extra carrier -> all refuse
armed control, third-party actions/checkout present -> passes

Found by the first post-merge sweep after the 0.6.0 merge — #198's own
acceptance probe — not by review. Three PRs in one run:
labels: #208: could not read the head commit's date:
forge_api: HTTP 404 from 'GET repos/heavy-duty/ceremony/commits/f3a1336…'
— blocker:unrequested not judged this pass
Measured against this instance:
forgejo repos/{o}/{r}/commits/{sha} -> 404
forgejo repos/{o}/{r}/git/commits/{sha} -> 200, date under `.created`
github repos/{o}/{r}/commits/{sha} -> 200, date nested
A fourth asymmetry, alongside the three lib/forge-forgejo.sh's header already
records. #198 ported this call site onto the shim with GitHub's path unchanged
— correct against GitHub, and the block it lives in (#236 D2) arrived WITH the
merge, so nothing here had ever executed it.
So it becomes a verb rather than a path at the call site: the caller wants one
timestamp and should not have to know either shape.
Cost while it stood was bounded and loud rather than silent — guarded_read
refused and the sweep said so — but blocker:unrequested could never be judged
on this forge.
The tests pin each backend's PATH and FIELD, because a stubbed forge_api cannot
catch a wrong path; that is exactly how this shipped and why it took a live
sweep to find. Swapping the paths reds the forgejo pair; swapping the fields
reds the github one.

@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl's four holes and @glm-reviewer-andresmgsl's prose
staleness. Every weaker shape I had written has a hole, and each was found in a
published draft of this file:
"the old literal is absent" a carrier rewritten to the wrong fork
"every extracted value equals X" a carrier that VANISHED
"each value is one of {fork,dynamic}" a ROLE SWAP either direction
"the SHA suffix matches" wrong-owner/ceremony/actions/foo@right-sha
"known callers match" an unrecognised caller, or none
So the arming step generates a MANIFEST — path, kind, full expected value —
from the tree it is arming, and the gate compares actual carriers against it as
a set. All six become one kind of failure: the sets differ. Generated rather
than written into this document, because the carrier set changes whenever a
workflow is added — which is exactly how "both CEREMONY_SELF_REF values" went
stale while main grew a third.
The prose went stale with the snippet, as glm noted: step 2 said "both", and
said "every workflow carrier -> repository:" without excepting the consumer
checkouts. Both corrected.
DRIVEN, not asserted. I built an armed/probe pair and ran every class:
deletion, role swap x2, wrong fork, wrong SHA, extra carrier -> all refuse
the armed control -> passes
Doing that found two defects the snippets would otherwise have shipped with:
* the manifest generator's consumer-checkout line used `\$` inside SINGLE
quotes — an escaped dollar, not the end anchor — so it silently produced a
manifest row with no kind and no value;
* `git grep` exits 1 on no-match, and under `set -e` inside the collecting
group that killed the script BEFORE the comparison. A carrier class that
vanished entirely produced SILENCE rather than a refusal, which is worse
than the hole it was meant to close.

@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl's two scope items, applied before the first review
round rather than after.
1. THE GUARD IS COMMENT-AWARE, WITH CONTROLS. It already stripped comments —
it has to, because the #188 warning that explains why has("pull_request") is
wrong contains the string. Without controls that was an untested property,
and the pressure it creates is real: a raw grep would push a builder into
deleting the very warning that prevents recurrence. Two fixtures now prove
it: the explanatory comment is allowed, an executable jq filter is rejected.
2. ALL THREE SITES ARE DRIVEN BY BEHAVIOUR. The pin makes any revert red, but a
pin proves a string is absent, not that each replacement means the intended
thing:
BOARD_RECORDS the forgejo-shaped board is not read as empty
release_bodies an open `release` issue whose gate holds an open
member makes a claimable NON-member draw a window
flag — empty carriers, no flag, so the row
discriminates the site instead of merely reaching it
reconcile_issue_pass the scalar payload: key-present-null is an issue,
object-valued is a PR, key-absent is still an issue
The release_bodies row did NOT discriminate on its first write — it asserted
an issue number that BOARD_RECORDS also produces, so reverting the site left
it green. Caught by mutating each site separately rather than trusting the
suite total.
Mutation, per site: BOARD_RECORDS 3 red, release_bodies 2 red,
reconcile_issue_pass 2 red.

issueflow-reconcile has been blind on this forge since the 0.6.0 merge landed.
Run 368 — #198's own post-merge acceptance probe — printed:
issueflow: no open issues.
issueflow: reconciled.
over a board of nine.
Every Forgejo entry CARRIES the `pull_request` key, valued null on an issue, so
`select(has("pull_request") | not)` selects zero rows. Measured again today:
#209 (an issue) has the key valued null; #208 and #207 (PRs) have it valued as
objects.
This is mine. #188 fixed exactly this and the file's own comment at :1113
states the rule, with :1121 already using it correctly. Resolving hunk 4 of the
merge I took upstream's board block wholesale and carried the wrong
discriminator into three sites — the gather, the release-body gather, and
reconcile_issue_pass — in the PR whose stated purpose was to stop blind sweeps
reporting success.
Cost while it stood: no issue transitions, no claim reclaims, no nudges, no
board flags — and no `post-merge` transitions, which is why #192 and #198 both
still read `claimed` after their PRs merged, and why #198's own closure
criterion could not complete.
Two guards, because a comment did not hold:
* A GATHER-LEVEL CASE against a Forgejo-shaped fixture — every entry carrying
the key. The existing discriminator cases assert jq expressions in
isolation and passed throughout this regression; they never ran the gather
that uses them, which is precisely how it survived review.
* A SOURCE PIN forbidding has("pull_request") on this surface, so a future
sync cannot reintroduce it 40 lines below the comment forbidding it.
Reverting the board gather reds both. Reverting reconcile_issue_pass reds the
pin.

@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl's three, all verified against current main before
fixing.
1. THERE ARE THREE SELF-REF CARRIERS, NOT TWO — labels-sweep.yml:52,
labels.yml:51, release.yml:132. My `[ "$n" -eq 2 ]` came from the
pre-upstream tree, so it would have REJECTED a correctly armed candidate and
told the operator to rewrite two of three, leaving one workflow pinned to
the tag. The gate enumerates from the tree now, with the derivation commands
beside the table so the list is re-checked rather than trusted.
2. NOT EVERY `repository:` BELONGS TO THE FORK. Three are
`${{ github.repository }}` — labels-sweep.yml:69, labels.yml:92,
release-exercise.yml:72 — and they fetch the CALLER's repository. My loop
required every one to equal the fork, which would have rewritten the
consumer checkouts and quietly changed what the probe exercises. Internal
self-checkouts (four) are asserted to be the fork; consumer checkouts are
asserted to stay dynamic.
3. EACH CHECK IS BOUND TO THE TREE IT IS ABOUT — `git -C "$armed"` for the
carriers, `git -C "$probe"` for the callers, instead of depending on the
operator's current directory. And `mapfile` rather than `git grep | while …
fail`: the loop ran in a pipeline subshell, so `fail` exited the subshell
and the gate carried on. Collect first, validate after, under a declared
`set -euo pipefail`.
And the snippet is now executable rather than illustrative: placeholders became
positional parameters, so it parses, is shellcheck-clean, and runs. Driven
against the unarmed tree it refuses with `CEREMONY_SELF_REF=0.6.0` — a tag
rather than the candidate SHA, which is exactly the case it exists to catch.
Publishing a gate that could not run would have been the same defect one level
up.

@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl reproduced it again, with one file: scanned_paths()
said "tracked" and used `find`, which walks the working directory and knows
nothing about the index.
Not pedantry — ci.yml extracts shellcheck.tar.xz, actionlint.tar.gz and their
binaries INTO the checkout before the suite runs, and any developer cache sits
there too. Today none happens to carry a matching marker; that is luck, not a
property, and a false red on a downloaded tarball would be indistinguishable
from a real finding.
`git ls-files -z` makes "tracked" executable rather than prose.
The fixtures become tiny git repositories, because a fixture that is only a
directory is invisible to ls-files and every must-fail below it would have
passed vacuously — the same trap as the earlier teeth that never invoked the
guard. Plus the negative case he asked for: an untracked marker-bearing cache
file is ignored, and the moment it is TRACKED the guard sees it.
Reverting discovery to find reds three.
