+# 0.6.3 — drill record
+
+Measured 2026-08-26 on the `release-0.6.3` candidate branch, canonical
+candidate SHA `03cb69d`. All three measurements below were taken at that head,
+not copied from an earlier record.
+
+## Scope ruling — doors unchanged, no disposable-repo rehearsal
+
+**The last rehearsed tag is `0.6.1`, not `0.6.2`.** `drills/0.6.2.md` is itself
+a doors-unchanged assertion, and `drills/README.md` anchors the baseline to the
+last *rehearsed* tag precisely so one such assertion cannot chain from another
+while the doors drift a small diff at a time. The baseline used here is
+therefore `0.6.1`, which widens the measured window rather than narrowing it.
+
+All three conditions hold at the candidate head:
+
+1. `git diff 0.6.1..HEAD -- $(sh .github/scripts/release-path.sh)` changes only
+   the `CEREMONY_SELF_REF` pin line in `.github/workflows/release.yml`, from
+   `0.6.1` to `0.6.3`:
+
+   ```diff
+   @@ -129,7 +129,7 @@ env:
+   -  CEREMONY_SELF_REF: "0.6.1"
+   +  CEREMONY_SELF_REF: "0.6.3"
+   ```
+
+   No release-door logic, decision table, fact gathering, version handling,
+   changelog handling, forge adapter or publish step changed across two
+   releases. The measured diff is one line.
+
+2. The measured release path is exactly the output of
+   `.github/scripts/release-path.sh` at this head:
+
+   ```text
+   .github/workflows/release.yml
+   bin/
+   lib/version.sh
+   lib/decide.sh
+   lib/facts.sh
+   lib/changelog.sh
+   lib/forge.sh
+   ```
+
+3. `drills/0.6.1.md` records a **full rehearsal** — run 2026-08-09 by
+   `codex-reviewer-andresmgsl` against release PR !226 — its release is
+   published, and `main` was re-armed to `0.6.2-dev` after it by
+   `5693bee chore: bump main to 0.6.2-dev`.
+
+## What this release contains
+
+Nine fragments consumed into `## 0.6.3`: #234, #240, #241, #243, #247, #251,
+#253, #263, #265. None of them touches the release path; the list is
+board-flow, labels-reconcile, docs and forge-adapter work.
+
+## What is NOT asserted
+
+This record asserts only that a fresh disposable-repo rehearsal would execute
+the same release-door bytes as `0.6.1`'s did. It does not assert that the
+doors were re-exercised, and it is not a substitute for the rehearsal owed at
+the next release-path change. Per `drills/README.md`, the release PR's panel
+verifies this claim like any other evidence, and **if any reviewer rules a full
+drill owed, that verdict wins.**
+
+## Note on 0.6.2's red `self-guards`
+
+Recorded here because the next reader of `drills/` will see it. The `0.6.2`
+tag's commit `5a8fce83` is red on `CI / self-guards` — `changelog-armed`
+correctly refused a tree in which `changelog.d/238.md` was still unconsumed,
+because that fragment landed on `main` after `changelog-assemble 0.6.2` had
+already run in the release branch. The content shipped correct (the #238 entry
+is in the published `0.6.2` notes) and the strand was consumed on `main` by
+`f221647`. The systemic guard against the race landed in !255, *"refuse release
+PRs that strand target fragments"*, which is why this candidate was checked
+against it before opening.
