Closes #98

Acceptance criteria

changelog_section_problem is the only definition of publishability rules and changelog_section remains unchanged
All four call sites use the predicate: changelog-armed, both release doors, and bin/changelog-section
Entry-less and dangling-heading version sections are refused with the specified diagnosis
Seeded empty Unreleased passes the guard and wrapper
Flat changelogs remain supported
README, consumer guide, builder doctrine, and contributing guide describe the seeded three-heading re-arm
test/run.sh, shellcheck, and actionlint are green

Worklog

Add the shared publishability predicate and direct fixture coverage
Wire changelog-armed and add seeded/dangling guard coverage
Wire the command-line wrapper and its refusal/exemption coverage
Wire both release-door notes steps and extend the step-replay fixture
Document the seeded hand-edit template and append-only heading doctrine
Add the Unreleased changelog entry
Run the complete suite and static checks; inspect the final diff
Round 1: assert absent Unreleased refuses with the exact diagnosis
Round 1: run focused and complete verification; confirm clean mergeability

Verdict: approve

Reviewed head 8ad68192e9adad5e22b93247962450333029bd47 against issue #98.

Acceptance criteria

Criterion	Result
`changelog_section_problem` is the sole publishability definition; `changelog_section` unchanged	Met — function body of the extractor is byte-identical to main; rules (a)–(c) live only in the new predicate
All four call sites use the predicate (`changelog-armed`, both release doors, `bin/changelog-section`)	Met — old `[ ! -s notes.md ]` / byte emptiness tests are gone from those paths; `release-exercise` and `release-chain` mirror the doors
Entry-less and dangling-heading version sections refused with the specified diagnoses	Met — order is absent → no entries → first empty heading; fixtures cover heading-only and partly-dangling cases
Seeded empty `Unreleased` passes the guard and wrapper	Met — early Unreleased exemption after existence check; armed + wrapper tests green
Flat changelogs remain supported	Met — flat bullet sections pass the predicate; this repo’s own flat `CHANGELOG.md` unchanged in shape
README, CONSUMERS, BUILDER, CONTRIBUTING describe the three-heading re-arm	Met — seed template + append-under-existing-heading doctrine present
`test/run.sh`, shellcheck, actionlint green	Met — full suite 15/15 files green locally; shellcheck clean on the touched scripts; CI `test`, `self-guards`, `action-exercise`, and release step-replay all green on this head

Code

Diagnosis strings and order match D5 exactly.
Unreleased is exempt from (b)/(c) only after (a) succeeds — absent Unreleased still refuses.
Callers keep their own remedy prose and append the diagnosis, as specified.
Step-replay fixture gains an entry-less refusal path; release-chain notes door covered in-unit.

Verification

Ran in a detached worktree at this head:

bash test/run.sh — all files passed
shellcheck -x on lib/changelog.sh, changelog-armed.sh, bin/changelog-section — clean
Manual probes: seeded Unreleased clean; dangling ### Fixed names the heading; missing section diagnoses correctly; if ! diagnosis="$(…)" capture form works under set -e

Non-blocking

Label blocker:conflict is still on the PR while GitHub reports mergeable: true / mergeable_state: clean and merge-tree shows no conflicts — reconciler lag, not a head defect.
Wrapper / half-ceremony remedy lines still speak in “missing section” language when the diagnosis is “empty heading”; that is intentional per D5 (keep existing remedies, append diagnosis).

Approving this head.

Reviewed the whole PR at head 8ad6819 in a detached worktree. Verified, not opined:

test/run.sh: 15 files, all green. .github/scripts/shellcheck-all.sh and actionlint clean. The new awk spot-checked under mawk (the CI runner's awk): correct.
changelog_section is byte-identical; changelog_section_problem is the only place rules (a)–(c) live, and it reads the extractor's own output, so guard and publisher still cannot disagree (rig#67 preserved).
All four call sites swapped: changelog-armed L137, both doors in release.yml, bin/changelog-section. grep -n '\-s "\$RUNNER_TEMP/notes.md"' .github/workflows/release.yml returns nothing. Each caller keeps its own remedy prose and appends the diagnosis, per D5.
Ran the predicate directly against constructed edge cases beyond the tests: prose-only section → "no entries"; flat entry followed by a dangling ### Added → names the heading; a dangling heading between populated ones → names ### Changed; absent Unreleased → refuses. Diagnosis order (no section → no entries → empty heading) holds, first match wins.
Seeded three-heading Unreleased passes the guard on a -dev tree and the wrapper prints it without refusing; flat sections (- and *) pass; D1 holds (release.yml's re-arm untouched — only the two notes steps changed); docs carry the template, the three-heading set, and the append-under-existing rule in all four places.
The step-replay fixture gains the entry-less variant and both step-replay jobs are green on this head.

One blocking item — a test-plan floor case is missing:

The issue's test plan (exempt rows) requires: "Unreleased absent still refuses." No test asserts it — grep -rn "no section for 'Unreleased'" test/ is empty; PROBLEM_FIXTURE and FIXTURE both contain ## Unreleased, and the guard's -dev branch never reaches the predicate. I ran the case by hand and the code is correct today (no section for 'Unreleased', rc=1), so this is a missing assert, not a bug — but it is the only thing that pins the exemption's position after the existence check. Swap lines 32–37 of lib/changelog.sh and today's suite stays green while bin/changelog-section Unreleased on a file with no ## Unreleased silently prints nothing and exits 0 — the silent-hole class this whole issue exists to close. Task 8 says the test files carry the test plan's cases; this one isn't there.

Unblock: one assert in test/changelog.test.sh — a fixture (or the existing $FIXTURE with the section stripped, or a two-line new one) without ## Unreleased, asserting changelog_section_problem exits 1 with no section for 'Unreleased'. That is the entire distance between this PR and my approval; everything else above is verified and good.

Reviewed the whole PR at head 8ad6819 in a detached worktree. Verified, not opined:

test/changelog.test.sh 28/0, test/changelog-armed.test.sh 20 passed with only the two pre-existing package-json failures (no node on this box — identical on origin/main, where the whole-suite failure set is byte-identical to this head's; jq/shellcheck/actionlint are also absent here, so those two static gates are covered by CI, which is green). test/release-chain.test.sh 5/0 including the new entry-less notes-door case.
Ran the predicate by hand under mawk 1.3.4 (the CI runner's awk): dangling ### Added → names the heading; prose-only section → "no entries"; flat section → clean; absent section → refused; seeded three-heading Unreleased → clean; absent Unreleased → no section for 'Unreleased', rc=1. Diagnosis order (no section → no entries → empty heading) holds, first match wins.
changelog_section is byte-identical (diff is purely additive below it); changelog_section_problem is the only place rules (a)–(c) live and reads the extractor's own output — guard and publisher still cannot disagree (rig#67 preserved).
All four call sites swapped: changelog-armed L137, both doors in release.yml, bin/changelog-section. grep -n '\-s "\$RUNNER_TEMP/notes.md"' .github/workflows/release.yml returns nothing. Each caller keeps its own remedy prose and appends the diagnosis, per D5.
Docs: README shows the seeded template in the re-arm bullet and states the entry/dangling-heading rule in the changelog-armed section; CONSUMERS gains D2's split (three seeded, Deprecated/Removed/Security by hand) and the flat-stays-flat sentence; BUILDER and CONTRIBUTING carry "append under an existing heading". D1 holds — the release.yml re-arm step is untouched. D3 holds — this repo's own flat CHANGELOG.md is unchanged in shape and gains exactly one ## Unreleased entry citing #98.
The release-exercise.yml step-replay gains the entry-less fixture variant; the awk used there and in the predicate is mawk-compatible, no \x escapes.

One blocking item — a test-plan floor case is missing (converging with claude-bot's round, which I reproduced independently before writing this):

The test plan's exempt rows require "Unreleased absent still refuses." No test asserts it — grep -rn "no section for 'Unreleased'" test/ is empty, and every fixture carries ## Unreleased. The code is correct today (verified above), but nothing pins the exemption's position after the existence check. I moved [ "$ver" = "Unreleased" ] && return 0 above the existence check in lib/changelog.sh and re-ran test/changelog.test.sh: 28 passed, 0 failed — while changelog_section_problem on a file with no ## Unreleased silently exits 0. That is precisely the silent-hole class this issue exists to close; the reorder is invisible to the suite.

Unblock: one assert in test/changelog.test.sh — a fixture without ## Unreleased (or an existing one with the section stripped), asserting changelog_section_problem <file> Unreleased exits 1 with no section for 'Unreleased'. That is the entire distance to my approval; everything else is verified and good.

🔧 addressing round on head 8ad68192e9

Round plan of record:

agree — blocking (claude-bot-andresmgsl, kimi-bot-andresmgsl): the test-plan floor case “Unreleased absent still refuses” is not asserted. The implementation currently returns no section for 'Unreleased', but the suite would not catch moving the exemption ahead of the existence check. I will add a focused test/changelog.test.sh assertion using a fixture without ## Unreleased, pinning exit status 1 and the exact diagnosis.
agree — non-blocking (grok-bot-andresmgsl): the previously observed blocker:conflict was reconciler lag rather than a head defect. GitHub now reports the PR clean and the label is absent, so no code change is needed; I will re-check mergeability after pushing the fix.
agree — non-blocking (grok-bot-andresmgsl): wrapper and half-ceremony remedies retain “missing section” language for other publishability failures. This is the issue’s specified D5 behavior—preserve each caller’s remedy and append the diagnosis—so no wording change is appropriate.

I will record the test addition and verification as Worklog checkboxes, commit and push the focused fix, run the direct test plus the full required suite/static gates, then answer the round whole and re-request claude-bot-andresmgsl and kimi-bot-andresmgsl. Grok already approved this head and will only be re-requested if the fix invalidates its approval under the repository’s current-head rules.

Round 1 addressed whole on head ce27861821e2cf6db08ad4e3861f980dc8e391b5.

claude-bot-andresmgsl + kimi-bot-andresmgsl — agreed, fixed: added a changelog fixture with no ## Unreleased and a focused assertion that changelog_section_problem exits 1 with exactly no section for 'Unreleased'. This pins the exemption after the existence check. Focused result: test/changelog.test.sh — 29 passed, 0 failed.
grok-bot-andresmgsl — agreed, verified: the conflict observation was reconciler lag. The current head is CLEAN and carries no blocker:conflict.
grok-bot-andresmgsl — agreed, no code change: caller remedy prose remains intentionally unchanged while the predicate diagnosis is appended, preserving D5.

Verification on the current head:

bash test/run.sh — 15 test files passed, 0 failed
bash .github/scripts/shellcheck-all.sh — 33 tracked scripts clean
actionlint — clean
GitHub merge state — CLEAN

The new commit makes every earlier approval non-head-current, so I am re-requesting the full non-author panel: claude-bot-andresmgsl, grok-bot-andresmgsl, and kimi-bot-andresmgsl.

Verdict: approve

Reviewed whole PR at head ce27861821e2cf6db08ad4e3861f980dc8e391b5 against issue #98 (detached worktree). Round 1 re-review after the absent-Unreleased test floor was added.

Round 1 delta

Prior head 8ad6819 was correct on the implementation but left the test-plan exempt row "Unreleased absent still refuses" unasserted. This head adds a fixture without ## Unreleased and pins exit 1 + exact diagnosis no section for 'Unreleased' — which keeps the exemption after the existence check. That was the only panel-blocking gap; nothing else regressed.

Acceptance criteria

Criterion	Result
`changelog_section_problem` sole definition of (a)–(c); `changelog_section` unchanged	Met — extractor body byte-identical to main; rules live only in the new predicate
All four call sites use it; no `[ ! -s notes.md ]` in release doors	Met — `changelog-armed`, both doors, `bin/changelog-section`; `grep` for the old byte test is empty
Entry-less / dangling-heading version sections refused with specified diagnoses	Met — order absent → no entries → first empty heading
Seeded empty `Unreleased` passes guard + wrapper	Met — early Unreleased exemption after (a)
Flat changelogs still supported	Met — flat `-`/`*` sections pass; this repo’s flat `CHANGELOG.md` shape unchanged
README, CONSUMERS, BUILDER, CONTRIBUTING state the three-heading re-arm	Met — template + append-under-existing doctrine
`test/run.sh` / shellcheck / actionlint green	Met — full suite 15/15 green locally; shellcheck clean on touched scripts; CI `test`, `self-guards`, `action-exercise`, both step-replays green on this head

Code (spot checks this round)

Ran predicate by hand: prose-only → no entries; dangling mid-section → names ### Changed; flat then dangling → names heading; seeded Unreleased clean; absent Unreleased refuses with the exact string.
D1 holds: release.yml re-arm untouched — only the two notes steps swapped to the predicate.
Callers keep their own remedy prose and append the diagnosis (D5).

Verification

bash test/run.sh — 15 files, 0 failed (includes new predicate: absent Unreleased still refuses)
shellcheck -x on lib/changelog.sh, changelog-armed.sh, bin/changelog-section — clean
GitHub checks on this head — pass (step-replay jobs included)

Approving this head.

That was the only panel-blocking gap; nothing else regressed. ### Acceptance criteria | Criterion | Result | |---|---| | `changelog_section_problem` sole definition of (a)–(c); `changelog_section` unchanged | Met — extractor body byte-identical to main; rules live only in the new predicate | | All four call sites use it; no `[ ! -s notes.md ]` in release doors | Met — `changelog-armed`, both doors, `bin/changelog-section`; `grep` for the old byte test is empty | | Entry-less / dangling-heading version sections refused with specified diagnoses | Met — order absent → no entries → first empty heading | | Seeded empty `Unreleased` passes guard + wrapper | Met — early Unreleased exemption after (a) | | Flat changelogs still supported | Met — flat `-`/`*` sections pass; this repo’s flat `CHANGELOG.md` shape unchanged | | README, CONSUMERS, BUILDER, CONTRIBUTING state the three-heading re-arm | Met — template + append-under-existing doctrine | | `test/run.sh` / shellcheck / actionlint green | Met — full suite 15/15 green locally; shellcheck clean on touched scripts; CI `test`, `self-guards`, `action-exercise`, both step-replays green on this head | ### Code (spot checks this round) - Ran predicate by hand: prose-only → no entries; dangling mid-section → names `### Changed`; flat then dangling → names heading; seeded Unreleased clean; absent Unreleased refuses with the exact string. - D1 holds: `release.yml` re-arm untouched — only the two notes steps swapped to the predicate. - Callers keep their own remedy prose and append the diagnosis (D5). ### Verification - `bash test/run.sh` — 15 files, 0 failed (includes new `predicate: absent Unreleased still refuses`) - `shellcheck -x` on `lib/changelog.sh`, `changelog-armed.sh`, `bin/changelog-section` — clean - GitHub checks on this head — pass (step-replay jobs included) Approving this head.

Reviewed the whole PR at head ce27861 in a detached worktree. Round 1 verified everything except one missing test; this round verifies the fix and re-checks the whole head.

Round 1 blocker — resolved, verified by attack:

The new fixture (CHANGELOG.missing-unreleased.md, no ## Unreleased) plus check "predicate: absent Unreleased still refuses" 1 "no section for 'Unreleased'" is exactly the ask (test/changelog.test.sh:131-140).
I re-ran the attack that motivated it: moved [ "$ver" = "Unreleased" ] && return 0 above the existence check in lib/changelog.sh and re-ran the suite — 28 passed, 1 failed, the new assertion catches the silent exemption. The hole this issue exists to close is now pinned. Restored the file afterward.
Direct mawk check on a no-Unreleased file: changelog_section_problem … Unreleased → no section for 'Unreleased', rc=1.

Whole-head verification:

test/changelog.test.sh — 29 passed, 0 failed. test/release-chain.test.sh — 5/0. test/changelog-armed.test.sh — 20 passed, 2 failed, the two pre-existing package-json cases (no node on this box); identical on origin/main (16/2 there, so the 4 new armed cases all pass). The remaining full-suite failures are the same environmental set as main (no node/jq here — issueflow-reconcile, ruling, etc. all fail on jq: command not found identically on main); the builder's run reports 15/15 and CI covers this box's gaps.
CI on this head: all checks pass; merge state CLEAN (grok's round-1 conflict observation was reconciler lag, confirmed).
The diff since round 1 is only the new fixture and assertion — no production code moved, so round 1's verification stands: all four call sites on the predicate, changelog_section byte-unchanged, diagnoses in D5 order, caller remedy prose preserved with the diagnosis appended, D1 (release.yml re-arm untouched) and D3 (this repo's flat changelog gains exactly one entry citing #98) hold, docs carry the seeded three-heading doctrine and the flat-stays-flat rule.

All of #98's acceptance criteria are met and every panel point from round 1 is addressed. Approving.

Reviewed the whole PR at head ce27861 in a detached worktree. Round 2 — my round-1 blocker was the missing test-plan floor case "Unreleased absent still refuses"; this head resolves it, verified by attack:

Round-1 blocker — resolved:

The delta since 8ad6819 is exactly the ask and nothing else: git diff 8ad6819..ce27861 --stat shows one file, test/changelog.test.sh (+11) — a CHANGELOG.missing-unreleased.md fixture with no ## Unreleased, and check "predicate: absent Unreleased still refuses" 1 "no section for 'Unreleased'" driving changelog_section_problem directly (test/changelog.test.sh:131-140).
I re-ran the reorder attack from round 1: moved [ "$ver" = "Unreleased" ] && return 0 above the existence check in lib/changelog.sh — the suite now fails exactly one case, FAIL: predicate: absent Unreleased still refuses — exit 0, wanted 1 (28/1). Restored: 29/0. The exemption's position after the existence check is pinned; the silent-hole class this issue exists to close can no longer be reintroduced invisibly.

Whole-head verification (this box has node/jq/shellcheck/actionlint, so nothing was environmental this round):

bash test/run.sh — 15 files, 15 passed, 0 failed, including test/changelog.test.sh 29/0, test/changelog-armed.test.sh 22/0 (package-json cases included), test/release-chain.test.sh 5/0 with the entry-less notes-door case.
shellcheck -x on lib/changelog.sh, changelog-armed.sh, bin/changelog-section, test/changelog.test.sh — clean. actionlint — clean.
CI on this head: all check runs green (test, self-guards, action-exercise, docs-sync-exercise, both step-replays, fixture-chain, labels). Merge state CLEAN.
Round-1 production verification stands (no production code moved) and I re-spot-checked it at this head: git diff origin/main -- lib/changelog.sh is purely additive — changelog_section byte-identical; the old [ ! -s "$RUNNER_TEMP/notes.md" ] byte test is gone from release.yml; all four call sites (changelog-armed:137, release.yml:201 and :346, bin/changelog-section:19) use changelog_section_problem with the if ! diagnosis="$(…)" capture form, each keeping its own remedy prose and appending the diagnosis (D5). D1 holds (re-arm step untouched), D3 holds (this repo's flat changelog unchanged in shape, one ## Unreleased entry citing #98), docs carry the seeded three-heading template and append-under-existing doctrine in all four places.

All of issue #98's acceptance criteria are met at this head, the diagnosis order (absent → no entries → first empty heading) is asserted, and the full test-plan floor now exists. Approving.
