Closes #167

Summary

enforce the 300-character normalized-entry bound once in changelog_fragment_problem
diagnose overlong entries with fragment, preview, measured length, bound, and split fix
document the same bound and split rule in BUILDER.md and CHANGELOG.md
cover exact boundaries, action integration, multi-entry totals, wrapping, grouped fragments, and forward-only history

Worklog

Add the single-source normalized-entry length rule and actionable refusal
State the 300-character bound and split rule in both doctrine homes
Add boundary, wrapping, multi-entry, grouped, published-history, and action-path tests
Add the flat issue fragment
Run the focused changelog suites and full test suite on the final head

Acceptance criteria

A fragment with a 301-character entry goes red in changelog-armed, naming the fragment, the length, the bound, and the split fix; an entry of exactly 300 passes.
A fragment with several entries each within the bound passes even though the file totals more than 300 characters.
A ~250-character entry wrapped over four continuation lines passes — wrapping alone can never red an entry.
In a grouped fragment, ### headings count toward no entry and bullets under them are bounded the same.
Published sections stay unvalidated: the existing over-bound entries in the 0.2.0/0.3.0 history red nothing on a clean tree.
The rule exists in exactly one function; neither the action nor the assembler grows a second copy.
BUILDER.md and CHANGELOG.md state the same number the guard enforces.
bash test/run.sh green.

Verification

bash test/changelog.test.sh — 62 passed, 0 failed
bash test/changelog-armed.test.sh — 42 passed, 0 failed
bash test/run.sh — 18 test files passed, 0 failed on head 056a38c

Verdict: approve

Reviewed head 056a38cd731e09a54ea41d5d3c201d99511ef3ea against #167's acceptance criteria and the repo's load-bearing constraints (single-function guard, forward-only history, doctrine homes).

Acceptance criteria

Criterion	Result
301-char entry reds in `changelog-armed` with fragment, length, bound 300, and split fix; 300 passes	Pass — predicate tests + armed checks assert the full diagnosis string
Several in-bound entries may total over 300	Pass — multi-entry unit case
~250-char entry wrapped over four lines passes	Pass — wrapping case measures joined+collapsed text
Grouped `###` headings not counted; bullets under them bounded	Pass — mixed 300-ok / 301-red under headings
Published over-bound 0.2.0/0.3.0 history unvalidated	Pass — `changelog_section_problem` on 0.3.0 stays green; no length rule added there
Rule in exactly one function; action/assembler do not grow a second copy	Pass — only `changelog_fragment_problem` measures; both callers invoke it
BUILDER.md and CHANGELOG.md state the same 300 bound and split rule	Pass
`bash test/run.sh` green	Pass — 18 test files, 0 failed on this head

Code / verify

Normalization matches D1: marker stripped, continuations joined, whitespace collapsed, citation kept; bound is strict > 300 so exactly 300 is legal.
Diagnosis names fragment path, 60-char preview, measured length, bound, and the split fix (D3).
Fragment changelog.d/167.md is well under the bound (~225 normalized chars).
Ran locally in a detached worktree: test/changelog.test.sh (62), test/changelog-armed.test.sh (42), full bash test/run.sh (18 files) all green. CI test, self-guards, and related checks also green on this head.

Non-blocking

None material. Assembler defense-in-depth inherits the bound only by calling the shared predicate (as D2 requires); no separate assemble-path overlong case, which is fine given the single function and armed coverage.

Approve head 056a38c.

Verified against #167's acceptance criteria in a detached worktree (~/duty/trees/ceremony/review-168), whole PR at this head:

Bound enforced once, in changelog_fragment_problem (lib/changelog.sh:131) — grep confirms no second copy; both callers (actions/changelog-armed/changelog-armed.sh:93, bin/changelog-assemble:71) inherit it. changelog_section_problem untouched, so published history stays unvalidated (D4).
Diagnosis carries the D3 contract — fragment name, 60-char preview, measured length, the 300 bound, and the split fix in as many words; asserted by tests, and I confirmed the assertions match the actual output.
Normalization matches D1 — continuation lines joined, whitespace runs collapsed, - /* marker stripped, then measured; the ~250-char four-line wrap test proves wrapping alone cannot red an entry, and the grouped-fragment test proves ### headings count toward no entry.
Boundary and multi-entry cases — 300 passes, 301 reds, several in-bound entries totaling over 300 pass. All present as executable tests, and the must-fail cases actually fail (asserted exit 1 with the exact message).
Doctrine names the same number — BUILDER.md's fragment bullet and CHANGELOG.md's header both state 300 and the split rule; the fragment changelog.d/167.md is flat, correctly named, and 227 chars — passes its own rule.

What I ran: bash test/run.sh at this head under mawk 1.3.4 (20250131) — the new awk runs green under real mawk. Focused suites: test/changelog.test.sh 62/62 (includes the published-history case against the real 0.3.0 section); test/changelog-armed.test.sh green except two package-json cases. git diff --check clean.

Environment gap, named per doctrine: this box has no node, yq, or shellcheck, so the node/yq-dependent suites fail here. I diffed the full-suite failures against an origin/main baseline worktree — the failure sets are identical, so nothing red at this head is caused by the PR. For the shellcheck/actionlint gates and the node-backed cases I relied on CI, which is green on this head (test, self-guards, action-exercise, docs-sync-exercise all success).

Approve at head 056a38cd731e09a54ea41d5d3c201d99511ef3ea.

Verified against #167's spec and acceptance criteria, running everything on mawk 1.3.4 — the same flavor CI ships:

bash test/run.sh in a detached worktree at the head: 18 test files passed, 0 failed; test/changelog.test.sh 62/62, test/changelog-armed.test.sh 42/42, matching the PR's verification claims.
.github/scripts/shellcheck-all.sh and actionlint both green at the head.
D1/normalization — beyond the shipped tests I constructed and ran edge inputs against the sourced predicate: an entry whose raw wrapped length exceeds 300 but normalizes to exactly 300 passes; tab/space runs collapse before measuring (raw >300, normalized 288 passes); a * bullet at 301 reds with the full diagnosis; an overlong entry followed by a valid one still reds (the entry = "" before exit correctly neutralizes the END re-inspect). The new awk bullet pattern is byte-identical to the existing /^[[:space:]]*[-*][[:space:]]/ used elsewhere in lib/changelog.sh, so the bound and the "at least one bullet" floor agree on what an entry is.
D2/one definition — the rule lives only in changelog_fragment_problem; changelog-armed.sh:93 and bin/changelog-assemble:71 both route through it, and a grep for 300 across actions/ and bin/ finds no second copy (the labels-reconcile hits are the unrelated reason-truncation).
D3/diagnosis — the refusal names the fragment, a 60-char preview, the measured length, the bound, and the split fix; the armed-path test asserts the same message end to end.
D4/forward-only — changelog_section_problem is untouched, and the new test asserts the over-bound 0.3.0 history reds nothing.
Doctrine — BUILDER.md and CHANGELOG.md both state 300 and the same split rule the guard enforces; changelog.d/167.md is flat and measures 225 normalized characters, passing its own rule.

One observation, not blocking: a non-indented paragraph after a blank line below a bullet is joined into that bullet's entry rather than treated as separate content. Since the fragment format admits only bullets and grouped headings, the conservative join is the right failure direction (it can only over-count, never let drift through).

Stopping work at the operator’s direction: this duplicates Claude’s #169. Closing this PR; continuation belongs only to #169.
