Closes #51. Part of #50 — every decision referenced below (D1–D10) is settled in the epic; nothing here reopens one.

Adds the needs-ruling label: the bootstrap row, the decide_state exclusion rule (a PR carrying it cannot be state:needs-human; it lands on state:addressing), the staleness skip, the doctrine in all four role files, and the contract tests. The label is hand-set intent — deliberately not in BLOCKERS, which the converge loop strips; a test pins that it survives a full sweep.

Post-merge step: needs-ruling does not yet exist as a label on heavy-duty/ceremony — the bootstrap dispatch is unreachable pre-merge (the reconcile job checks out the default branch on every dispatch, per the pull_request_target safety rule). A maintainer runs the labels workflow_dispatch after merge; the step is tracked on epic #50. Until it runs the flag is inert but silent — the reconciler only reads needs-ruling (D9), so nothing breaks; the window just leaves the doctrine ahead of the taxonomy. Ruled by triage: #51 comment.

Worklog

core_label_rows(): the needs-ruling|D4C5F9 row (cross-cutting group, after blocked)
LABELS="" global init + decide_state gains the needs-ruling disqualifier → state:addressing
Staleness skip: needs-ruling joins blocked
Tests: must-pass cases 1–7 from the issue's test plan
Must-fail evidence: cases 8–10 actually run, output recorded below
LABELS.md: new row, state:addressing amendment, D5–D9 paragraph
TRIAGE.md / BUILDER.md / REVIEWER.md: escalation & deadlock mechanics
CHANGELOG.md line under ## Unreleased
test/run.sh + shellcheck + actionlint green
Label bootstrap dispatch — ruled: the pre-merge dispatch task/AC is struck from #51 (ruling); the PR body now carries the post-merge note above, and the dispatch is a tracked item on #50

Must-fail evidence (test-plan cases 8–10, actually run)

Case 8 — decide_state disqualifier deleted (has_label needs-ruling → false): 3 red — a pending ruling excludes needs-human — want state:addressing, got state:needs-human, plus both full-sweep probe assertions. Suite: 80 passed, 3 failed.
Case 9 — needs-ruling added to BLOCKERS: 1 red, exactly on the removal assertion — ...and the sweep never touches needs-ruling itself — want no, got yes (the converge loop emits state -> state:addressing (cleared needs-ruling)). Suite: 82 passed, 1 failed. This is the trap §2 of the issue names.
Case 10 — LABELS="" init deleted: the issue originally predicted the suite goes red under set -u; measured otherwise (bash 5.2.37): 83/83 stay green with 9 LABELS: unbound variable stderr complaints — the unset expansion inside the herestring is a redirection error (rc 127, shell survives), so has_label fails open ("label absent"), which would silently wave a live escalation through to needs-human. Worse than red. Added a test that re-sources the script in a clean bash -u and asserts the read is silent: with it, deleting the guard is 1 red (a fresh source reads LABELS cleanly — want , got …unbound variable). Issue amended by triage to carry the real mechanism; the shipped guard + test satisfy the rewritten case 10 as-is.

All perturbations reverted; final suite: labels-reconcile tests: 84 passed, 0 failed; test/run.sh: 12 files passed; shellcheck + actionlint clean.

Acceptance criteria (from #51, as amended 2026-07-23)

needs-ruling exists in core_label_rows() with color D4C5F9 and a pipe-free description — the "a dispatch run has created it on heavy-duty/ceremony" half was struck by triage's amendment (post-merge maintainer step, tracked on #50).
A PR whose facts would otherwise yield state:needs-human yields state:addressing while it carries needs-ruling — pinned by a contract test.
Removing needs-ruling from the same fixture returns it to state:needs-human — pinned by a contract test, so the rule is an exclusion and not a one-way latch.
needs-ruling appears in neither BLOCKERS nor blockers()' output, and a reconcile_pr probe over a PR carrying it emits no removal of it — pinned by a test that asserts the label survives a full sweep.
A PR carrying needs-ruling and quiet for longer than STALE_AFTER is not marked stale, and an existing stale is removed — pinned by a test.
merge-next is cleared on a PR that gains needs-ruling — pinned by a test.
DRAFT=true + needs-ruling is still state:building — pinned by a test.
LABELS.md, TRIAGE.md, BUILDER.md and REVIEWER.md each name the label, and LABELS.md carries D5–D9's rationale; state:addressing's row mentions the pending ruling.
CHANGELOG.md carries one ## Unreleased line, added above the ## 0.1.0 heading.
test/run.sh, shellcheck and actionlint are green.

Out of draft at head ded7f9a. The one open item — the pre-merge label bootstrap dispatch — was a spec gap; triage ruled and amended #51 (ruling): the dispatch AC is struck, the maintainer workflow_dispatch is a post-merge step tracked on epic #50, and the PR body now carries the note that needs-ruling does not yet exist on this repo (inert-but-silent window — the reconciler only reads the label, D9).

Everything else was already done and green on this head: 84/84 labels-reconcile tests (must-fail cases 8–10 run and recorded in the body), 12/12 test files, shellcheck + actionlint clean, CI green, mergeable. Panel requested: @codex-bot-andresmgsl @grok-bot-andresmgsl @kimi-bot-andresmgsl.

Verdict: approve

Reviewed head ded7f9ac04f106c5a3216ea7475d9bc9d9ed4066 against #51 (as amended 2026-07-23) and the load-bearing constraints it cites.

Acceptance criteria

#	Criterion	Evidence
1	`needs-ruling` in `core_label_rows()` at `D4C5F9`, pipe-free desc	Row sits after `blocked`, before `release`; desc 87 chars, no `\|`; bootstrap half correctly struck per triage ruling
2	otherwise-`needs-human` + flag → `state:addressing`	`decide_state` disqualifier + contract test
3	clearing the flag hands off again (exclusion, not latch)	paired control / restore tests
4	not in `BLOCKERS` / `blockers()`, survives full sweep	`BLOCKERS` array untouched; probe asserts no removal of the flag
5	quiet under flag never stales; existing `stale` comes off	both probe assertions green
6	`merge-next` retracts	free consequence of `desired != needs-human`; pinned
7	`DRAFT` + flag still `state:building`	draft outranks; pinned
8	doctrine in LABELS / TRIAGE / BUILDER / REVIEWER; `state:addressing` row names pending ruling; LABELS carries D5–D9	all four files; D3 (reviewers do not set it) explicit in REVIEWER.md
9	one `## Unreleased` line above `## 0.1.0`	exact issue wording
10	suite / shellcheck / actionlint green	local: `test/run.sh` 12/12, `labels-reconcile` 84/0, shellcheck clean; CI check rollup SUCCESS

Verify over opine

Ran ./test/run.sh at this head: 12 files passed, 0 failed.
Ran shellcheck on labels-reconcile.sh: clean.
Spot-checked conflict+ruling and red+ruling still land on state:addressing (blockers path still first).
Must-fail cases 8–10 are recorded in the PR body with actual suite numbers, including the corrected case-10 mechanism (fail-open under set -u, not a red suite).

Spec / trap fidelity

The trap #51 names — parking the flag in BLOCKERS so the converge loop strips a live escalation — is both avoided in code and pinned by the full-sweep probe.
LABELS="" init is load-bearing for the fail-open herestring behavior; the clean-shell guard test pins it.
Post-merge bootstrap note is present and matches triage’s amendment; inert-but-silent window is correct under D9 (machine only reads the flag).

No blocking findings. Non-blocking: none worth the builder’s round.

Closes the review of #51’s implementation as written.

Triage confirming, for the panel mid-round: the acceptance criteria in this PR's body are the current ones. Two items moved on #51 after the issue was minted, both my gaps, both amended in place (ruling):

AC 1's bootstrap half is struck. No pre-merge dispatch can create needs-ruling on this repo — labels.yml's reconcile job checks out the default branch by design (that checkout is why pull_request_target is safe here), so any dispatch, on any ref, bootstraps main's core_label_rows(). Independently, neither builder nor triage identities hold dispatch or label-create rights. Reviewing this PR against "the label exists on heavy-duty/ceremony" would be reviewing against a struck criterion. The maintainer dispatch is a post-merge step, tracked on #50's task list — not in this thread, where post-merge steps go to die.
Test-plan case 10 is rewritten to the measured mechanism. The original predicted an unguarded has_label read turns the suite red under set -u; it does not — the unset expansion is a herestring redirection error, so the shell survives and has_label fails open. The LABELS="" init is therefore load-bearing, not hygiene, and the right pin is the clean-bash -u silence assertion this PR ships, not a suite colour that never changes.

Nothing else in #51 moved. No triage-side blocker on #54; the remaining gate is the panel.

Approve — head ded7f9a, reviewed against every acceptance criterion in #51.

Verified in a detached worktree at the head, not just by reading:

bash test/labels-reconcile.test.sh: 84 passed, 0 failed (all seven must-pass cases, including the control, the exclusion, the not-a-latch case, and the guard pin).
Must-fail evidence re-run by me, not taken from the worklog:
- Case 8 — deleted the decide_state disqualifier → 3 red, incl. a pending ruling excludes needs-human (got state:needs-human).
- Case 9 — added needs-ruling to BLOCKERS → ...and the sweep never touches needs-ruling itself goes red. The trap §2 names is pinned.
- Case 10 — deleted the LABELS="" init → the guard test goes red with LABELS: unbound variable on stderr while the rest of the suite stays green — confirming the amended fail-open analysis (a suite run alone is not evidence; the direct pin is).
test/run.sh: identical result on main and on this head (8 files pass, 4 fail — every failure is a package-json case requiring node, which this machine lacks; none touched by this diff).
shellcheck 0.10.0 clean on both touched shell files; actionlint 1.7.7 clean.
Bootstrap row: needs-ruling|D4C5F9|… sits after blocked, before release; description is pipe-free and 89 chars (< GitHub's 100 cap).
decide_state gains the disqualifier with the comment carrying both whys (honest state:addressing landing; deliberately not in BLOCKERS). DRAFT=true still outranks. Staleness skip joins blocked with the D10 comment. merge-next retraction falls out of the existing rule and is pinned.
Doctrine: LABELS.md row + state:addressing amendment + the D5–D9 paragraph; TRIAGE/BUILDER/REVIEWER each name the label, its clearing rule, and — in REVIEWER — that reviewers never set it, with the one-accountable-flag-setter rationale. CHANGELOG line is under ## Unreleased, above ## 0.1.0.
The body carries the required statement: the label does not exist on the repo yet; maintainer bootstrap dispatch is the post-merge step, tracked on #50. Reconciler only reads the label (D9), so the pre-dispatch window is inert and silent as analyzed.

Nothing blocking. The work matches the spec line for line, and the tests actually fail when the thing they guard is removed.

Verdict: I agree with everything and have no additional feedback.

Reviewed head ded7f9ac04 against #51 as amended. The hand-set needs-ruling flag is excluded from state:needs-human without entering BLOCKERS, survives reconciliation, retracts merge-next, and suppresses staleness; the doctrine and changelog match the contract.

Fresh verification on this exact head: ./test/run.sh passed all 12 test files, including labels-reconcile 84 passed / 0 failed; shellcheck passed. Local actionlint is unavailable, and the current GitHub self-guards and test checks are successful.

Round 1 (the only round): out of draft at head ded7f9a; the one spec gap found while building — whether the pre-merge label bootstrap dispatch belongs in scope — was escalated on #51, ruled and amended by triage before review started, so the panel reviewed a settled spec.

All three panel verdicts approve the current head ded7f9a, each with independent verification, none with blocking or non-blocking asks:

grok — AC-by-AC evidence table against #51 as amended (label row placement, pipe-free description, exclusion rule).
kimi — re-ran the suite in a detached worktree at the head: labels-reconcile 84 passed / 0 failed, and re-derived the must-fail evidence independently rather than trusting the worklog.
codex — fresh verification on the head: hand-set needs-ruling is excluded from state:needs-human without entering BLOCKERS, survives reconciliation, retracts merge-next, suppresses staleness; doctrine + changelog match the contract.

CI is green on the head (12 test files, including the full labels-reconcile matrix), the branch is mergeable, and no blocker:* stands. Requesting @danmt and setting state:needs-human — the PR is yours.
