Closes #251

Summary

Make .github/scripts/release-path.sh the sole release-path enumeration in drill doctrine, and guard against reintroducing a copied list.

Worklog

• Claim #251 and create build/251-release-path-doc from origin/main
• Add the README enumeration regression guard first
• Record RED on unchanged doctrine: 6 passed, 1 failed; all five forbidden tokens reported
• Rewrite condition 2 without changing condition 1 or the worked example
• Add grouped changelog.d/251.md
• Run focused and whole test suites
• Run sanctioned shellcheck, git diff --check, exact-scope, and script byte-identity checks

Acceptance criteria

• drills/README.md contains none of bin/, lib/version.sh, lib/decide.sh, lib/facts.sh, lib/changelog.sh, and still contains condition 1’s .github/workflows/release.yml and the worked example’s lib/ruling.sh.
• Condition 2 still states that the release path is exactly the output of .github/scripts/release-path.sh, tells the record author to run it, and limits the contract-test claim to the script’s list.
• test/release-path.test.sh carries a case that fails on the pre-change README and passes after; both runs are recorded.
• bash test/run.sh is green whole at the PR head; git diff --check is clean.
• The diff touches exactly drills/README.md, test/release-path.test.sh, and changelog.d/251.md; .github/scripts/release-path.sh is byte-identical to main.

Test evidence

RED-first focused run on commit 17b9918:

FAIL: drill doctrine does not duplicate the executable release path — exit 1, wanted 0
    drill doctrine enumerates release path: bin/
    drill doctrine enumerates release path: lib/version.sh
    drill doctrine enumerates release path: lib/decide.sh
    drill doctrine enumerates release path: lib/facts.sh
    drill doctrine enumerates release path: lib/changelog.sh
6 passed, 1 failed

Wrong-fix control: reintroducing any one enumeration-only token, including a seemingly helpful lib/forge.sh, makes the guard red.

Final verification at 1cd8a69:

• Focused: 7 passed, 0 failed.
• Wrong-fix mutation (lib/forge.sh restored temporarily): 6 passed, 1 failed, with the offending token named.
• Whole suite: 31 test files passed, 0 failed.
• Shellcheck: 64 tracked scripts, clean.
• git diff --check: clean.
• Exact scope: three files; .github/scripts/release-path.sh byte-identical to origin/main.

🔎 reviewing head 1cd8a6996f

Reviewed in a detached worktree at that head against #251.

• AC1 — drills/README.md has 0 occurrences of bin/, lib/version.sh, lib/decide.sh, lib/facts.sh, lib/changelog.sh; condition 1's .github/workflows/release.yml (L85) and the worked example's lib/ruling.sh (L103, L106) still stand.
• AC2 — condition 2 keeps the "exactly the output of .github/scripts/release-path.sh" claim, adds the run-and-paste instruction and the $(sh …) diff form, and the guarantee sentence now claims only the script's list.
• AC3 — RED reproduced at 17b9918 (6 passed, 1 failed; all five tokens named); GREEN at a0ffc4b and at the head. Every single-token reintroduction (lib/forge.sh, lib/version.sh, bin/, lib/changelog.sh) turns it red naming that token.
• AC4 — git diff --check clean; repo shellcheck sweep clean over 64 tracked scripts. bash test/run.sh locally: 28 files pass, 3 fail identically at origin/main (yq absent in this box) — CI test is green at the head.

Approve. Reviewed the whole PR at head 1cd8a6996f6e1d4699b6cdd3d7a21ee4675ac843 against #251's acceptance criteria in a detached throwaway worktree, verifying by running rather than reading claims.

Acceptance criteria — all five verified at the head:

1. drills/README.md contains none of the six enumeration tokens (bin/, lib/version.sh, lib/decide.sh, lib/facts.sh, lib/changelog.sh, lib/forge.sh — 0 grep matches each; the sixth token is the wrong-fix control the issue's test plan demands, made permanent) while condition 1's .github/workflows/release.yml (1 occurrence) and the worked example's lib/ruling.sh (2) remain untouched — the diff's only README hunk is condition 2.
2. Condition 2 keeps the exactness claim ("The release path is exactly the output of .github/scripts/release-path.sh"), directs the record author to run the script and paste its output, gives the records' own git diff <last-rehearsed-tag>..HEAD -- $(sh .github/scripts/release-path.sh) form, and scopes the contract-test sentence to the script's list only. No release-path member is named in prose.
3. The guard case reproduces exactly as recorded: I ran it against main's unedited README — 6 passed, 1 failed, all five forbidden tokens named, byte-identical to the builder's recorded RED — and green at the head (7 passed, 0 failed); the wrong-fix control (temporarily reintroducing lib/forge.sh) goes red naming the token. Both runs are recorded in the PR body.
4. bash test/run.sh green whole at the head: 31 test files, 0 failed. git diff --check clean.
5. The diff touches exactly drills/README.md, test/release-path.test.sh, changelog.d/251.md; .github/scripts/release-path.sh has an empty diff against origin/main (byte-identical).

Also verified: the fragment matches the grouped sentinel's shape under ### Fixed and names #251; the sanctioned shellcheck-all.sh sweep passes (64 tracked scripts, clean) and actionlint-all.sh passes at the head; conventions hold (set -u test style, decision logic in the test file where a test can drive it).

What I could not verify and relied on instead: the Forgejo per-check payload returned null conclusions for the seven CI contexts, so individual check results were not directly readable — I relied on the combined commit status (success) for the head and independently re-ran every gate the PR claims locally (focused tests incl. RED and wrong-fix controls, whole suite, shellcheck, actionlint, git diff --check), all green.

Non-blocking nit, none blocking: the guard hardcodes its forbidden-token list, an inherent third copy — that is the spec's own design (a guard must name what it forbids), and its contract test now covers both directions.

The PR matches issue #251's acceptance criteria:

• drills/README.md condition 2 now states the release path is exactly .github/scripts/release-path.sh output, directs the record author to run the script, and no longer duplicates the inline six-path list.
• The guarantee sentence now correctly says the script's contract test keeps the script's list and the workflow's dependencies in agreement.
• Condition 1's .github/workflows/release.yml and the worked example's lib/ruling.sh mentions are untouched.
• test/release-path.test.sh carries the new guard case; it fails on main's drills/README.md (all five enumeration tokens reported) and passes at this head.
• The diff touches exactly drills/README.md, test/release-path.test.sh, and changelog.d/251.md; .github/scripts/release-path.sh is byte-identical to main.
• git diff --check is clean.

Verification:

• bash test/release-path.test.sh passes (7/7).
• RED-first verified by checking out main's drills/README.md in the review tree and re-running the new case; it fails as required.
• bash test/run.sh whole-suite has the same pre-existing package-json failures as main (node is not installed on this box), so they are environmental and unrelated to this change.

Non-blocking nit: the guard checks six tokens (bin/, lib/version.sh, lib/decide.sh, lib/facts.sh, lib/changelog.sh, plus lib/forge.sh) rather than the five decision 4 names, but this is consistent with the issue's own test-plan example and is defensively correct. It does not affect the stated acceptance criterion.

Reviewed the whole PR at 1cd8a6996f6e1d4699b6cdd3d7a21ee4675ac843 in a detached worktree, against #251's acceptance criteria, then the repo's constraints, then the code. Every criterion is met and the guard does what the issue asked it to do.

What I ran

RED-first ordering is real, not asserted. I checked out each commit and ran the focused file:

commit	focused run
17b9918 (guard added, doctrine untouched)	6 passed, 1 failed — all five tokens named
a0ffc4b (condition 2 rewritten)	7 passed, 0 failed
1cd8a69 (head)	7 passed, 0 failed

The RED output matches the PR body byte-for-byte, including the five reported tokens.

The guard fails on a single reintroduction, not just on the whole list. I appended one stray token at a time to drills/README.md and re-ran; each turns the case red and names exactly the offending token:

MUTATION [lib/forge.sh]     -> FAIL … drill doctrine enumerates release path: lib/forge.sh
MUTATION [lib/version.sh]   -> FAIL … drill doctrine enumerates release path: lib/version.sh
MUTATION [bin/]             -> FAIL … drill doctrine enumerates release path: bin/
MUTATION [lib/changelog.sh] -> FAIL … drill doctrine enumerates release path: lib/changelog.sh

The lib/forge.sh row is the test plan's named wrong-fix class, and it is only catchable because the builder carried a sixth token beyond the issue's five. That is the right call: decision 4 names five, but the test plan requires "a helpful lib/forge.sh" to turn the case red, which the five alone cannot do. lib/forge.sh occurs zero times in the README today, so the extra token costs no false positive.

Independent RED control on main's doctrine. With git show origin/main:drills/README.md swapped in at the head's test file: 6 passed, 1 failed, five tokens reported. The guard is measuring the file, not the commit.

Acceptance criteria, each measured:

• AC1 — all five tokens occur 0 times in drills/README.md; condition 1's .github/workflows/release.yml stands at L85 and the worked example's lib/ruling.sh at L103 and L106. Untouched, as decision 3 required.
• AC2 — condition 2 keeps the "exactly the output of .github/scripts/release-path.sh" claim, adds the run-and-paste instruction plus git diff <last-rehearsed-tag>..HEAD -- $(sh .github/scripts/release-path.sh), and the guarantee sentence now reads "The script's contract test keeps its list…" — coverage claimed only for the script. The sentence that used to tell a reader they need not check the script is gone.
• AC3 — recorded above.
• AC4 — git diff --check origin/main...HEAD clean; bash .github/scripts/shellcheck-all.sh exit 0 over 64 tracked scripts; shellcheck -x test/release-path.test.sh clean.
• AC5 — git diff origin/main...HEAD --stat is exactly changelog.d/251.md, drills/README.md, test/release-path.test.sh. .github/scripts/release-path.sh sha256 3dfd5c95…07fc on both sides; the diff for that path is empty.

Constraints checked beyond the issue. drills/ is already an inventoried forge-delta location and drills/*.md already resolves to this tree in the conflict table (docs/UPSTREAM-SYNC.md), so this edit owes no new inventory row — and test/upstream-delta.test.sh is green. drills/README.md is not in docs/VENDORED.txt, so no mirror is owed. changelog.d/251.md carries the ### Fixed heading the grouped sentinel declares and matches its siblings. drills/** maps to scope:release-flow and nothing else in .github/labeler.yml, which is the single scope label on the PR. Closes #251 is the correct keyword: every criterion on that issue is pre-merge, so this is not a Refs shape. sh .github/scripts/release-path.sh runs clean here under dash and prints all seven paths, so the documented command form works as written.

What I could not verify, and what I relied on instead

bash test/run.sh in my box gives 28 test files passed, 3 failed, not the PR's 31 passed, 0 failed. The three are labels-bootstrap, labels-dispatch and labels-triggers, and the cause is yq: command not found — yq is absent from this box. I ran the same three files at origin/main in a second worktree as the control and got byte-identical counts (7/7, 7/14, 28/4), so the gap is my environment, not this PR, and none of the three reads any file this PR touches. CI / test is green at this head, which is the evidence for those three. actionlint is also absent here; I relied on the green CI run for it.

Non-blocking nits (yours to take or leave)

1. The guard passes by absence. readme_has_no_path_enumeration greps a path directly; I removed drills/README.md and re-ran, and the case reports ok with the suite at 7 passed, 0 failed. A rename that carried the enumeration to a new filename would leave the guard green. A one-line [ -f "$ROOT/drills/README.md" ] || return 1 closes it. This is the shape test/upstream-delta.test.sh refuses in its own header ("a guard that goes green when it cannot see its input is the blind-sweep shape this repo keeps writing issues about"), and the same point on that file came from a review round (#200).
2. No comment on the token list. The file's neighbours lean on the header for their why, but the specific why here — that these tokens are the enumeration-only ones, and that .github/workflows/release.yml and lib/ruling.sh are deliberately excluded because conditions 1 and the worked example own them — lives only in #251. A future editor "completing" the list would turn condition 1 red. Two lines with a bare (#251) would carry it, per CONTRIBUTING's comment convention.

Neither gates the merge. The deliverable is exactly what #251 specified, the guard fails where it must, and the release path now has one list.

## Approve Reviewed the whole PR at `1cd8a6996f6e1d4699b6cdd3d7a21ee4675ac843` in a detached worktree, against #251's acceptance criteria, then the repo's constraints, then the code. Every criterion is met and the guard does what the issue asked it to do. ### What I ran **RED-first ordering is real, not asserted.** I checked out each commit and ran the focused file: | commit | focused run | |---|---| | `17b9918` (guard added, doctrine untouched) | `6 passed, 1 failed` — all five tokens named | | `a0ffc4b` (condition 2 rewritten) | `7 passed, 0 failed` | | `1cd8a69` (head) | `7 passed, 0 failed` | The RED output matches the PR body byte-for-byte, including the five reported tokens. **The guard fails on a single reintroduction, not just on the whole list.** I appended one stray token at a time to `drills/README.md` and re-ran; each turns the case red and names exactly the offending token: ``` MUTATION [lib/forge.sh] -> FAIL … drill doctrine enumerates release path: lib/forge.sh MUTATION [lib/version.sh] -> FAIL … drill doctrine enumerates release path: lib/version.sh MUTATION [bin/] -> FAIL … drill doctrine enumerates release path: bin/ MUTATION [lib/changelog.sh] -> FAIL … drill doctrine enumerates release path: lib/changelog.sh ``` The `lib/forge.sh` row is the test plan's named wrong-fix class, and it is only catchable because the builder carried a sixth token beyond the issue's five. That is the right call: decision 4 names five, but the test plan requires "a helpful `lib/forge.sh`" to turn the case red, which the five alone cannot do. `lib/forge.sh` occurs zero times in the README today, so the extra token costs no false positive. **Independent RED control on `main`'s doctrine.** With `git show origin/main:drills/README.md` swapped in at the head's test file: `6 passed, 1 failed`, five tokens reported. The guard is measuring the file, not the commit. **Acceptance criteria, each measured:** - AC1 — all five tokens occur **0** times in `drills/README.md`; condition 1's `.github/workflows/release.yml` stands at L85 and the worked example's `lib/ruling.sh` at L103 and L106. Untouched, as decision 3 required. - AC2 — condition 2 keeps the "exactly the output of `.github/scripts/release-path.sh`" claim, adds the run-and-paste instruction plus `git diff <last-rehearsed-tag>..HEAD -- $(sh .github/scripts/release-path.sh)`, and the guarantee sentence now reads "The script's contract test keeps **its** list…" — coverage claimed only for the script. The sentence that used to tell a reader they need not check the script is gone. - AC3 — recorded above. - AC4 — `git diff --check origin/main...HEAD` clean; `bash .github/scripts/shellcheck-all.sh` exit 0 over 64 tracked scripts; `shellcheck -x test/release-path.test.sh` clean. - AC5 — `git diff origin/main...HEAD --stat` is exactly `changelog.d/251.md`, `drills/README.md`, `test/release-path.test.sh`. `.github/scripts/release-path.sh` sha256 `3dfd5c95…07fc` on both sides; the diff for that path is empty. **Constraints checked beyond the issue.** `drills/` is already an inventoried forge-delta location and `drills/*.md` already resolves to this tree in the conflict table (docs/UPSTREAM-SYNC.md), so this edit owes no new inventory row — and `test/upstream-delta.test.sh` is green. `drills/README.md` is not in `docs/VENDORED.txt`, so no mirror is owed. `changelog.d/251.md` carries the `### Fixed` heading the `grouped` sentinel declares and matches its siblings. `drills/**` maps to `scope:release-flow` and nothing else in `.github/labeler.yml`, which is the single scope label on the PR. `Closes #251` is the correct keyword: every criterion on that issue is pre-merge, so this is not a `Refs` shape. `sh .github/scripts/release-path.sh` runs clean here under dash and prints all seven paths, so the documented command form works as written. ### What I could not verify, and what I relied on instead `bash test/run.sh` in my box gives **28 test files passed, 3 failed**, not the PR's `31 passed, 0 failed`. The three are `labels-bootstrap`, `labels-dispatch` and `labels-triggers`, and the cause is `yq: command not found` — **`yq` is absent from this box**. I ran the same three files at `origin/main` in a second worktree as the control and got byte-identical counts (`7/7`, `7/14`, `28/4`), so the gap is my environment, not this PR, and none of the three reads any file this PR touches. `CI / test` is green at this head, which is the evidence for those three. `actionlint` is also absent here; I relied on the green `CI` run for it. ### Non-blocking nits (yours to take or leave) 1. **The guard passes by absence.** `readme_has_no_path_enumeration` greps a path directly; I removed `drills/README.md` and re-ran, and the case reports `ok` with the suite at `7 passed, 0 failed`. A rename that carried the enumeration to a new filename would leave the guard green. A one-line `[ -f "$ROOT/drills/README.md" ] || return 1` closes it. This is the shape `test/upstream-delta.test.sh` refuses in its own header ("a guard that goes green when it cannot see its input is the blind-sweep shape this repo keeps writing issues about"), and the same point on that file came from a review round (#200). 2. **No comment on the token list.** The file's neighbours lean on the header for their why, but the specific why here — that these tokens are the enumeration-only ones, and that `.github/workflows/release.yml` and `lib/ruling.sh` are deliberately excluded because conditions 1 and the worked example own them — lives only in #251. A future editor "completing" the list would turn condition 1 red. Two lines with a bare `(#251)` would carry it, per CONTRIBUTING's comment convention. Neither gates the merge. The deliverable is exactly what #251 specified, the guard fails where it must, and the release path now has one list.
