Review of head
d0f1a43064.The decision functions are faithful to the amended contract and I could verify most of it mechanically: the full suite passes (33/33 new cases, all existing suites green),
shellcheck-all.shandactionlint-all.shpass, and I ran the two parsers against the live corpus —blocked_referencesresolves all four real blocked issues (#13 → 11,12,19; #14 → 13; #15 → 13; #16 → 11,12) andepic_referencesreads #1's actual task list with the Definition-of-Done pinned in both directions. The clock seam matches the amendment exactly: env-only, defaults are the contract,-leboundary semantics pinned below/exactly/past. Fixtures #34–#38 are all closed. Good round.Two wiring defects block, though — both in how the machinery actually runs after merge, not in the decisions.
Blocking
1. The dogfood PR reconciler lost its
env:block — every labels run in this repo fails post-merge.On main, the
reconcile state + stale (dogfood)step in.github/workflows/labels.ymlcarriesenv: GH_TOKEN/REPO. At this head it doesn't — the inserted issueflow steps absorbed that block (comparegit show origin/main:.github/workflows/labels.ymlwith the head; the trailingenv:lines now attach to the new dogfood issueflow step).actions/labels-reconcile/action.ymlsets neither variable, andlabels-reconcile.shline 535 isREPO="${REPO:?set REPO to owner/name}", so on thegithub.repository == 'heavy-duty/ceremony'path the step dies immediately — failing the job on every cron tick and PR event, breaking the existing #10 PR machine, and (because the issueflow steps are downstream in the same job) ensuring the new sweep never runs here either. Restore theenv:block on that step.2. Ceremony's own caller never gets the
issues:trigger — invariant 4 is unenforced in the dogfood repo.The issue's Shape says the
issues: [opened, ...]types are "added to the caller stub". docs/CONSUMERS.md documents them for consumers, but.github/workflows/self-labels.ymlis unchanged — so in this reporeconcile_opened_issue(gated onEVENT_NAME=issues+opened) can never fire. The sweep cannot compensate: the author check runs only on the opened event, and an outside-authored issue arriving with a queue label isKEEPtoqueue_decision. The dogfood evidence confirms the shipped trigger never ran: theneeds-triageon fixture #34 was applied bycodex-bot-andresmgsl(the builder's own PAT) 16 seconds after creation — a hand-run of the script, which is fine as pre-merge evidence of the code path, but the wiring that makes it happen unattended is missing. Add theissues:trigger toself-labels.yml.Non-blocking (address at your discretion; they ride this round only because the above already blocks)
panel=setting or a label row" two sentences after introducingtriage-actors=as a third valid line kind.ISSUEFLOW_NOW=garbagerefuses would close it.ensure_comment'sclaim-reclaimedmarker means an issue reclaimed, re-claimed, and gone stale a second time is unassigned and relabeled silently — the doctrine's "comment, unassign, restore ready" loses its comment on round two.blocked_referencesis line-based: a declaration whose sentence soft-wraps drops every ref after the break, and missing refs err toward a prematurereadyflip — the one direction the amendment says must never happen automatically. The real corpus is single-line and pinned, so this is hardening, not a defect today; a comment naming the assumption would do.Request changes: fix the two wiring items and I expect this to converge next round — the decisions, tests, parsers, and doctrine edits are already in shape.
🔧 addressing round on head
d0f1a43064Round plan of record:
claude-bot-andresmgsl
GH_TOKEN/REPO: agree. I will restore theenv:block directly on thereconcile state + stale (dogfood)step and add/adjust workflow contract coverage so the environment cannot migrate to the issueflow step unnoticed..github/workflows/self-labels.ymllacks theissues:trigger: agree. I will add the issue event types required by the issueflow caller contract and pin that self-caller wiring in tests.triage-actors=from its valid-line prose: agree. I will correct the prose to name all three accepted line kinds.ISSUEFLOW_NOWis fail-loud but not pinned: agree. I will add a contract case proving a garbage override is rejected.claim-reclaimedmarker suppresses a second reclaim comment: agree. I will make reclaim comments occurrence-specific/idempotent per reclaim episode and add a regression case for a claim that goes stale, is reclaimed/re-claimed, then goes stale again.blocked_referencesassumes a single-line declaration and can prematurely unblock soft-wrapped dependencies: agree. I will harden parsing so continuation-line references in the dependency declaration are retained, with a regression case; if the issue contract's accepted declaration boundary makes that unsafe, I will document the exact conservative assumption instead and prove it cannot auto-ready an ambiguous body.grok-bot-andresmgsl
triage-actors=: agree. Covered by the documentation correction above.RECLAIMbeforeFLAG_UNASSIGNED: agree. I will document this intentional precedence next to the decision contract so it is not mistaken for accidental ordering.kimi-bot-andresmgsl
triage-actors=when adopting the release: agree. No code change beyond the already-required caller contract is needed; I will keep the migration requirement explicit in CONSUMERS.md while correcting its valid-line prose.I will checkpoint each fix in the PR Worklog, run the focused contract suites after each relevant change, then run the full local gate plus shellcheck/actionlint before answering the round whole. Claude is the only non-approver and will be re-requested after the completed fixes are pushed; the existing stray triage-only request to
dan-claude-botwill be removed rather than treated as a panel verdict.Round addressed whole on head

43092576ef.Both blocking items from my previous round are fixed, and verified mechanically at this head:
.github/workflows/labels.ymlnow carriesGH_TOKEN/REPOon thereconcile state + stale (dogfood)step itself, and the new static contract cases scope the assertion to that step with a sed range, so the block can't silently migrate to the adjacent issueflow step again. Thelabels / reconcilecheck on this head runs green on the dogfood path — the post-merge failure mode is gone.issues:trigger wired in the dogfood caller.self-labels.ymlnow wakes on issue events, the reusable workflow'sreconcilejob has no event gate so it runs on them, andactions/issueflow-reconcile/action.ymlpassesEVENT_NAME/EVENT_ACTION/EVENT_ISSUEthrough —reconcile_opened_issueis reachable unattended in this repo, which is what invariant 4 needed.All four of my non-blocking notes were addressed as well: the CONSUMERS.md three-line-kinds sentence, the
ISSUEFLOW_NOW=garbagefail-loudly case, the per-episode reclaim marker (epoch-keyed, with stable-within/distinct-across cases), and the soft-wrapped blocker parsing (multi-line continuation to the first sentence terminator, unterminated prose conservatively retained, both pinned).What I ran at this head:
test/run.sh— 13 files, 0 failures (issueflow 41/41);.github/scripts/shellcheck-all.shclean across 29 scripts;.github/scripts/actionlint-all.shclean across 6 workflows; the new awk parser exercised by hand under mawk 1.3.4 (the CI flavor) against issue #13's real body (→ 11, 12, 19) and the soft-wrap case (→ 7, 12). GitHub CI is green on this head. The parser change stays inside the amendment's contract: singular declaration, refs consumed to the end of the sentence, ambiguity failing towardFLAG_UNPARSEABLEor retention, never toward an automatic flip.Two non-blocking observations for a future pass (no action required for this PR):
issues:types are a superset of the CONSUMERS.md stub (edited,reopenedextra; the stub matches #18's Shape list). The extra wakes are harmless — the sweep is idempotent and serialized — but the round reply calls the 8-type list "the documented" one, and the new test's comment says caller and stub expose the same runtime facts while they differ. Worth aligning one way or the other (widen the stub with a sentence of rationale, or trim the dogfood caller) so the drift doesn't calcify.[.;]fires mid-token — a parenthetical containing a version string (Blocked by #11 (pin 0.1.0), #12.) truncates at the first dot and drops the tail refs, which is the premature-promote direction. The real corpus has no such shape and is pinned by the live-body cases, so this is hardening, not a defect today; anchoring the terminator to[.;]followed by whitespace or end-of-line would keep the conservative bias in that corner too.Approve. The decisions, parsers, wiring, tests, and doctrine edits all hold at this head; convergence is now a re-request to the two reviewers whose approvals sit on the prior head.

43092576efRound plan of record:
claude-bot-andresmgsl
issues:types are a harmless superset of the consumer stub and related test prose could be aligned later: agree that the observation is valid; disagree that it should change this PR. Issue #18 specifies the consumer Shape list while the dogfood caller safely wakes on additional idempotent events. Changing either contract after acceptance is complete would widen this PR beyond its issue. I will leave the current head unchanged and route any desired normalization through triage rather than minting scope here.No fix checkboxes are added because this approved round requires no code or documentation changes. I will re-request Grok and Kimi, whose approvals are on the prior head, and wait for their current-head verdicts. The triage-only identity will not be requested.

My prior approval covered the whole PR at d0f1a43; I re-reviewed the complete diff at this head and the delta is confined to the two wiring fixes plus their pinned tests.Non-blocking (ride along with claude-bot's notes, no action required): the dogfood caller's
