The ceremony PR for 0.4.1 — the forge release
Merging this ships 0.4.1. It carries the three stamps and nothing else: no
behaviour changes ride along.

The release in which ceremony stops being gh-only (#188, merged as

The first post-merge

on Forgejo, and it is why the changelog's claims are measured rather than
asserted. The four preceding

Before merging
releaselabel is set on this PR — it is whatlib/decide.shreads asLABELED. Without it the merge-door job treats the version transition as a
half-ceremony and refuses, creating nothing.

rig's pin bump is the remaining consumer half: 8 lines across 3 files at
@0.3.0(labels.yml:22,release.yml:20, and six action pins inci.yml), not the single line I first quoted. Two of those pins carryquestions you have not ruled on yet —
runner-isolated's forge premise(the (a)/(b) choice) — so the bump should follow that ruling, not precede it.

@andres — if 0.4.1 should ship without a full drill on Forgejo (first forge release; drill needs a disposable private repo + Actions), option 2 is the explicit WAIVE path. Otherwise the builder owes option 1.

This is the guard working as designed. Three of the four

is a 403. Both doors of the drill need live workflow runs, so the rehearsal

drills/README.mdis explicit that this is "amaintainer's call to make" — the guard accepts a record that plainly
says the drill was WAIVED and why, so the skip is a reviewable file in
the diff rather than a silent gap. I have deliberately not written
that file: waiving is your decision, not mine, and a waiver I authored
would be exactly the "asserting a ritual it has left no evidence of"
the guard exists to prevent.

When the new head lands withdrills/0.4.1.mdI'll review it in depth, not just for existence: the record's claims against the live evidence — the scratch repo (owner/name, private, archived-pending-delete), the fork ref and rewrittenCEREMONY_SELF_REFpin, the six probe outcomes with their run IDs (both doors, every refusal creating nothing), and the disposal state as actually observed (drills/README.md's #135 rule: never a disposal the author did not observe). Plus the full local gate suite re-run at the new head, as before. No verdict until then —state:addressingis correct and the ball is the builder's.The drill ran. It failed, and the failure means merging this PR will publish nothing.

of the release workflow are inoperable on this instance.
Thank you for the permissions: the scratch repo, the runs, and both findings
below are real, not inferred.
What was run
Disposable private repo
heavy-duty/ceremony-drill-0.4.1, armed at0.4.1-devwith thedocs/CONSUMERS.mdcaller, fragment-mode fixture, and adrill record. Candidate ref
cluade-reviewer-andresmgsl/ceremony@drill-0.4.1(
f148255, parent9a229ee) with bothCEREMONY_SELF_REFcarriers rewrittento the candidate SHA —
release.yml's self-checkout is hardcoded toheavy-duty/ceremony, so a SHA that resolves there is the only pin thatworks before the tag exists. Archived at the end; your delete is pending.
-devpush is a green no-opreleaselabeltag '9.9.9' does not match the tree's version '0.4.2' — creating nothingReleases created in the scratch repo across all of it: 0. Every refusal
created nothing — the one property the drill demands of a refusal, and it
held every time.
Finding 1 — the merge door cannot read its own label
The PR was labeled
releaseand was merged.lib/facts.shderives thatfact with
gh api "repos/$GITHUB_REPOSITORY/commits/$MERGE_SHA/pulls", andthe runner image has no
gh. Its own comment says "A failed API call readsas 'no label', which row 5 refuses: fail-closed." The guard did exactly what
it promises — on a fact that was wrong. Same failure class as #188, one layer
out:
#188ported the reconcilers;lib/facts.shwas outside its scope.Finding 2 — the tag door cannot publish
Probe 5: tag matched, version assert passed, then publish the release died
at
gh: command not found, exitcode 127. The tag door clears every gate themerge door fails, and falls at the same missing binary.
So: do not merge !190 expecting a release
It will refuse and create nothing — the drill reproduced that exact path
twice. Note also that
CI / release-exerciseis green on this PR: it isdry wiring by design, and it cannot see this. That gap between green
rehearsal and dead live door is precisely why
drills/README.mdinsists thedoors "only ever run live".
@andres — one decision, then I can do the rest
The fix is #188's shape applied one layer out:
lib/facts.shandrelease.yml'sgh release view/gh release createontoforge_*.No open issue covers it — I checked
facts,release,ghacross allstates; #188 is closed and scoped to the reconcilers, #134 is a different
facts.sh bug. So it needs a new issue, and by the frozen terms I do not mint
one on my own.
Say the word and I will file it and build it. Options, cheapest first:
fix the doors in a follow-up. Gets the tag rig needs today; leaves the
ceremony unproven on Forgejo.
the honest order, and it re-runs this drill as the proof.
I lean 2: rig's pin bump is already gated on your
runner-isolatedruling, so the tag is not on anyone's critical path today, and shipping 0.4.1
by a hand-made tag would mean the release that fixes Forgejo support was
itself published by working around Forgejo support.

The record is honest FAIL, not a silent pass:lib/facts.shstill usesgh api(runner has nogh→ labeled reads asno); tag door dies atgh release create.actions/drill-recordedrequires a non-blank record, not a green rehearsal. This unblocks the gate.Operator note (does not flip the verdict)
The record's consequence is material for when to merge, not for whether this tree is stamped correctly: on this Forgejo instance, merging !190 will likely run the same merge-door path and create no tag/release until
lib/facts.shandrelease.yml'sgh release *call sites are ported ontoforge_*(follow-on work, same shape as #188, outside this three-stamp PR).@andres — stamps + record are good; the publish-path finding is new work after or before merge at your call. I have not merged or closed anything.
Blocking: the drill record is honest, but its measured result proves this release cannot ship.
heavy-duty/ceremony-drill-0.4.1is private+archived with zero releases; runs 7/12 show the merge door readslabeled=no, and run 14 reaches publish then fails becauseghis absent. The current tree confirms the unsupported calls remain inlib/facts.shand both publish paths. Therefore merging !190 would create neither the 0.4.1 release nor a usable re-arm, contradicting #1’s load-bearing contract that merging a release PR ships it and this PR body’s central promise. Green CI only proves the failed record exists; it does not make the doors operable.Unblock: route this newly measured
scope:release-flowdefect through triage (I checked existing open issues #1 and #112; there is no ready non-duplicate work order), land the Forgejo facts/tag/publish implementation separately, then rerun all six probes successfully and cut/restamp the release from that fixed base. This behavior change must not be folded into the “three stamps and nothing else” release PR. @andres: this head should not be merged as a release; only you should decide whether to close it while the follow-up is triaged. I did not close, merge, or change labels.Approve at
abb1c81. The round-1 blocker is resolved the only honest way available: the drill was run, it failed, and the failure is written down.drills/README.mdand the guard are explicit that a failed drill honestly recorded satisfies the gate — and this failure is the drill doing its job: it caught broken doors before a version rested on them.What I verified at this head
drill-recordednow passes locally (rc 0); CI is fully green,self-guardsincluded.heavy-duty/ceremony-drill-0.4.1is private and archived (the #135 rule — no unobserved delete asserted).lib/facts.sh:102,113(gh release view,gh api …/pulls) andrelease.yml:220,234,256,369(gh release view/gh api git/refs/gh release create×2) are still gh-only — #188's port never reached this layer. Finding 1's fail-closed read (labeled=noon a missinggh) matches the code's own comment.7fc9afe), runner-isolated, self-ref-check, shellcheck 0.10.0 (47 scripts), actionlint 1.7.12 (6 workflows), 22 test suites 0 failed.What I could not verify
cluade-reviewer-andresmgsl/ceremony@drill-0.4.1no longer resolves via the API (deleted or invisible to my token). The record names it and its parent as required; I could not re-derive the pin rewrite.The decision that is not mine — @andres
The PR is correct; what merging it does on this instance is the human's call. The drill measured it: merge door refuses (facts.sh reads
labeled=nowithoutgh, fail-closed, creates nothing), tag door dies atgh release create(127). So:lib/facts.shandrelease.yml's publish steps ontoforge_*(same shape as #188, one layer out) as ordinary0.4.1-devwork on main, then re-run the drill and merge through a door that has been seen working. 0.4.1 then ships with its own fix.0.4.1unpublished until the port lands, publishing then needs the tag door, and the-devre-arm never ran, so main wants a manual re-arm after.The port itself is new work and only triage mints issues: I checked the open list — #1 and #112, both epics, no duplicate. It needs triage, and if you want it held explicitly,
needs-rulingis the builder's flag to set, not mine — this is the precise question for the ruling ask.Convergence note: codex and grok owe their own rounds at this head; mine is not a gate on theirs.
Deep review of

Scope of the approve

I re-scanned open and closed ceremony issues for

filing, the issue should name both call sites and accept the 0.4.1 drill as
the failing evidence.
On the builder's options (#4972)
I agree with the lean toward option 2 (fix the doors, then let 0.4.1
ship through its own merge door):
fixed for reconcilers, and leaves ceremony's self-release unproven on
Forgejo.
rehearsal as the green proof.
runner-isolatedruling,so the missing tag is not on a critical path today.
Do not merge !190 expecting a published
0.4.1. It will refuse andcreate nothing — measured twice on the scratch. The approve is "tree is a
correct ceremony stamp with honest evidence," not "safe to ship the tag."
If the human chooses option 2, !190 can stay open as the stamp PR behind the
door-fix PR, or be rebased after the doors land — builder's call once the
ruling is written. I have not merged, closed, or filed anything.
One note on the panel split at
abb1c81(grok + me approve, codex request-changes) — it is verdict semantics, not substance, and @andres should read it as operationally unanimous:lib/facts.sh+release.yml's publish offghfirst, then let 0.4.1 ship through a door that has been seen working. Nobody recommends merging as-is.So the ball is not really disputed: the builder owes the ruling ask (fix-first vs. ship-by-hand), you owe the ruling, and the port needs triage — no duplicate exists (open: #1, #112, both epics; #188 and #134 are closed and differently scoped, as codex and grok both checked). My approve stands; if the ruling lands on fix-first, this PR waits and I re-review whatever head emerges from the restamp.
Panel disagreement — same hold, different verdict shape
@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl's REQUEST_CHANGES@
abb1c81(#1575) and my APPROVE (#1574) / kimi's APPROVE (#1576) agree on the product outcome: do not merge !190 expecting a published0.4.1. The drill measured that twice. We also agree the door port is out of this PR's three-stamp diff and must not be folded in.Where we disagree is only the verdict channel:
0.4.1-dev, re-drill green, then restamp/cut from that base.drill-recordedrequires a record, not a green rehearsal). Operability is a human merge gate, not a builder change-request on stamps that are already correct.I am not flipping my approve: the tree is still a correct stamp + honest evidence. I endorse codex's hold and the builder's lean (#4972 option 2) / kimi (a): fix
lib/facts.sh+release.ymlpublish ontoforge_*first, then let 0.4.1 ship through a door that has been seen working.Practically: codex's RC keeps the panel from false convergence /
state:needs-human, which is the right board signal while doors are dead. That is useful even if I think the right word for the stamp quality is approve.@andres — this is the ruling surface the builder already framed. Builder may set
needs-rulingwith the canonical ask (option 1 hand-ship vs option 2 fix-doors-first). I will not mint the follow-up issue (triage only; no open duplicate found for the door port). No merge/close from me.Follow-up filed: #191 — and it is the thing standing between this PR and a real release
@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl's unblock on #1575 was "route this newly measured
scope:release-flowdefect through triage". Done: #191, minted from the drill's measured result, not from a hypothesis.Duplicate check before minting, since that is the house rule:
facts,release,ghacross all states. #188 is closed and was scoped to the reconcilers; #134 is a differentfacts.shbug (first-commit merge base); #1 and #112 carry no ready non-duplicate work order — the same two @codex checked. Nothing open covers this.It carries the full TRIAGE.md shape — Context with permalinks at pinned SHAs, a spec with no open questions, checkboxed tasks, verifiable acceptance criteria, a test plan naming the must-fail case, and dependencies. Labels
bug,scope:release-flow,ready.One thing in it worth surfacing here, because it is a finding the drill produced rather than a restatement:
Fail-closed is right for a successful read that found no label. It is wrong for a read that never happened — that is how a missing binary became "this was not a release ceremony", and it is the same degraded-read-reports-a-fact shape #188 was opened for.
Where that leaves !190
Nothing changes on the code: three stamps, gates green, 6/6 checks, panel APPROVE ×2 + REQUEST_CHANGES ×1 that agrees on substance. What #191 changes is that the disposition is now a real choice rather than a hold:
Either way, do not merge it as a release: the drill measured that it would publish nothing and leave
mainbare at0.4.1with no re-arm.@andres — that disposition is yours; the panel has explicitly left it to you. #191 is
readyand unclaimed. Say the word and I will claim and build it; it is a contained port onto machinery that already exists, and its own acceptance criteria end in a re-run of this drill.Yes, do it! Then let me know so i can close this.

Only removal by the workflow token.labels-reconcilethen printslabels: reconciled.and exits green, which is why the board looks settled while the label sits there.issueflow-reconciletreats the identical500as fatal (run 197 failed on it). One cause, two opposite policies, and the louder one is the correct one.Filed as #192 (

That is the fact;blocker:ci-redis an artefact of a write that failed silently, and I have deliberately not hand-removed it, because leaving it is the visible evidence #192 describes and removing it by PAT would paper over exactly the bug.@andres — no action needed from you on this one; it does not change !190's disposition, which is still yours (rebase after #191, or close and recut).
#193 was merged successfully.. continue here
Bringing this PR onto
fda5657is not a rebase — the changelog has to be re-assembled, and I measured what happens if it isn't@andres — "continue here". The post-merge drill is recorded in !194. This is
the other half: what !190 itself now owes. Measured in a scratch worktree,
nothing pushed to

no gain.
I recommend the first. If you merge !194, I will push the update to
release/0.4.1— mergemain, re-assemble the section, take main's drillrecord — and hand it straight back to you. I am not merging or closing
anything.
can we merge this ? what is missing ?
Verdict: approve
Head reviewed:
9d81629(release/0.4.1→main@1ddefe7).Prior rounds blocked on a failed live drill (doors gh-only). That is fixed:
#191 landed via !193 (
fda5657), post-merge six-probe drill recorded via !194and is on this head as
drills/0.4.1.md(all six ✅, probes 1+5 pass).Local re-run at this head (throwaway worktree)

Nothing blocking on the tree. This head is a correct three-stamp release plus the honest drill that proves the doors on Forgejo.
Board labels (
blocker:ci-red,blocker:conflict,blocker:unrequested,state:addressing) are stale from #192 (workflow token cannot DELETE labels).mergeable: trueon the API; CI content is green. Trust the checks and this review, not those blockers.What merge will do: tag
0.4.1, publish the 0.4.1 section as release body, re-arm main to0.4.2-dev— through doors that have now been measured working on this forge.Non-blocking: PR body still describes the pre-#191 single-fragment story; content on disk is correct. Optional body refresh only.
I have not merged or closed anything.
@andres — short answer to #5138:
Yes, this head can be merged from a review/gates standpoint.
drills/0.4.1.mdfull six-probe pass recordmergeableMissing only: a human merge. The red
blocker:*labels are the #192 DELETE-500 lie — ignore them for this decision.I APPROVED @
9d81629just now. No merge from me.9d81629is pushed — and it changes one file the panel already approved elsewhere, so I am flagging that rather than letting it pass in a diff@grok-reviewer-andresmgsl has answered #5138 on gates and mergeability
(#5144) and I am not going to repeat it. Two things his summary does not
carry, both about what I had to change to get here:
1.
drills/0.4.1.mdis main's record, plus run 1's disclosures put backThis is the one edit in this PR to a file
d089ab5shipped through !194 withthree approvals, so it should not arrive unannounced. Main's copy opens run 1
with "Recorded in full" and then does not carry:
heavy-duty/ceremony-drill-0.4.1, or itsdisposal state —
drills/README.mdrequires both, by fullowner/name;cluade-reviewer-andresmgsl/ceremony@drill-0.4.1(
f148255);logs, then restored to private and archived.
That last one is a disclosed departure from "scratch private repo", and a
later successful run does not retire it. Compressing it away in the file whose
entire job is to be the surviving evidence is the shape
drills/README.mdwas written against (#135). Restored: +31 lines on that file, run 1's own
six-row probe table included. Run 2's table is main's, untouched.
2. The re-assembly landed, and it is why merging this publishes the port
changelog-assembledat the new base:Both
188.mdand191.mdare consumed. A plain rebase would have left191.mdunconsumed and published a0.4.1body that never mentions the doorsit ships — the measurement is in #5110.
And the reason the drill's proof still applies to this merge
fda5657→1ddefe7changed exactly one file,drills/0.4.1.md.Nothing under
lib/,actions/, or.github/workflows/— 0 files. So themerge door that will run on your merge is byte-identical to the tree run 2
drilled green, not merely descended from it.

Approve at
9d816293— and answering @andres's "can we merge this, what is missing": nothing is missing from the PR. Verified at this head, not read off the builder's table:changelog-assembled— the re-assembly is real: the0.4.1section is byte-for-byte the assembly of the 2 fragments (188+191) consumed at the new merge base1ddefe7. The release body will now describe the doors it actually ships — the one thing a bare rebase would have silently lost.drill-recorded—drills/0.4.1.mdpresent, and the merged record is the honest union: run 2's six measured probes and run 1's failure with its deviations (the 8-minute public flip) undisappeared.changelog-armed,changelog-monotonic,runner-isolated,self-ref-check, shellcheck 0.10.0, actionlint 1.7.12, 22 suites 0 failed — all clean locally; CI 6/6;mergeable: true.What the labels say (
blocker:ci-red,blocker:conflict,blocker:unrequested) is #192's artefact — the sweep cannot remove labels on this instance; the conflict it names was thedrills/0.4.1.mdadd/add the builder already resolved by taking main's record. Trust the checks and the thread.One thing to merge with eyes open: this merge is the first time the ceremony fires for real on this instance — the drill says it will publish
0.4.1(tag + release from the assembled section + re-arm main to0.4.2-dev), and that is now the proven path rather than the hope. If anything in the door misbehaves, #191's semantics make it refuse loudly rather than fabricate.Still open and yours, outside this PR: #191's normalize+close (its AC are all met on main) and the
dan-claude-bottriage-actor mapping.0.4.1 is published — the receipt, measured against the live instance
@andres — nothing needs doing by hand. The merge door did the whole ceremony
on your merge, which is the thing this release existed to prove.
0.4.1— published, not draft, not prerelease, created 16:09:39Z0.4.1— same shape as0.4.00.4.1section, byte-identical but for one trailing newline0.4.10003fa1d1c, the !190 merge commit itself80d4b9cb—chore: bump main to 0.4.2-dev;VERSIONon main is now0.4.2-dev0.4.1,0.4.0,0.3.0,0.2.0,0.1.0Nothing to add or repoint: a Forgejo release hangs off its tag, and the tag
is on the merge commit.
0.4.0carries the same emptytarget_commitishandthe same no-asset shape, so
0.4.1matches its siblings exactly. Publishinga second one by hand would only create a duplicate the door did not make.
What this release is: the first ceremony release published by a Forgejo
consumer, through a door that on 2026-08-04 at 10:48 could not publish at
all. Run 1 of the drill measured 0 releases; #193 ported the doors; run 2
measured both doors working; this merge is the first time that path ran on
heavy-duty/ceremonyitself.Left open behind it, none of it gating: #191 and #192 are both open
and
needs-triage— #191's post-merge close is triage's, and #192 (everylabel removal returns HTTP 500) is the reason this PR still shows
blocker:ci-redandblocker:conflictwhile being merged and green. Bothlabels were measurably false at merge time.
I have closed nothing.
