    Added

    • test/labels-bootstrap.test.sh pins the bridge at every hop: the declared
      boundary, both gate sites as the identity, no expression reading
      github.event.inputs, and the caller and stub pass-throughs
      byte-exact (#215).

    • The same test drives the four value paths — schedule-empty, no, yes,
      invalid — through the shipped expressions into the action's real
      validator (#215).

    • The taxonomy bootstrap keys on the BOOTSTRAP input, never the event name.
      It tested GITHUB_EVENT_NAME = workflow_dispatch — correct while an
      operator's manual dispatch was the only dispatch there was, inert-by-
      construction from #209 on, when every machine wake became a dispatch
      event (#215).

    • The venue drill caught that: with the bridge delivering no perfectly,
      drill runs 16/17 still bootstrapped, because the script never read the
      input the whole chain existed to deliver (#215).

    • test/labels-reconcile.test.sh pins the regression pair exactly: a
      workflow_dispatch event with BOOTSTRAP=no (or unset) creates and
      deletes nothing; only BOOTSTRAP=yes bootstraps (#215).

    • A gather-level case drives the real board read against a Forgejo-shaped
      fixture — every entry carrying the key. The existing discriminator cases
      assert jq expressions in isolation and passed throughout this regression
      (#210).

    • A source pin forbids has("pull_request") on this surface, because the rule
      was stated in a comment and violated forty lines below it. It strips comments,
      so the #188 warning that explains the trap is allowed to stay (#210).

    • All three sites are covered behaviourally, not only by the pin: the board
      gather, the release-body gather through an observable window flag, and the
      per-issue payload check (#210).

    • test/forge-backends.test.sh pins each backend's path and field, because
      a stubbed forge_api cannot catch a wrong path — which is how this shipped
      and why a live sweep was what found it (#209).

    • test/labels-dispatch.test.sh extracts the shipped step and executes it
      against a recording stub, asserting the method, endpoint, ref and
      inputs.bootstrap actually sent (#205).

    • That test also drives the failure path: any non-204 still fails the job, so
      the misconfiguration alarm the trigger exists to be cannot decay into a
      warning (#205).

    • An unset GITHUB_API_URL refuses before any request instead of defaulting
      to api.github.com. Guessing sent this forge's dispatch to GitHub and
      reported success — the "Never 'probably github'" rule, and the same
      unset-environment refusal #201 established for docs-sync (#205).

    • A dispatch that never reaches the forge names the failure. Letting set -e
      carry curl's exit code out did fail the job, but with a bare status and no
      sentence (#205).

    • docs/CONSUMERS.md and both caller comments describe the REST dispatch, and
      the manual bootstrap command carries a forge-neutral form beside the gh
      one — a cross-forge runbook that directs this forge to a missing binary is
      wrong even where the surrounding prose is right (#205).

    • docs/RUNNER-PROBES.md documents the standing runner-probe venue,
      heavy-duty/ceremony-runner-probe — the place runner-only facts are measured
      on demand, ruled as option A by the operator (#202).

    • drills/README.md cross-links it beside the disposal rule, so the exception
      is visible where the dangerous habit lives (#202).

    • The runbook states that the drill disposal rule does not apply to it.
      Archiving it defeats its purpose, and that is exactly how the three existing
      drill repos each became unavailable (#202).

    • It records that a probe must run as an Actions job under the workflow token:
      the same call answers 500 there and 204 under a PAT, so a probe run any other
      way produces a confident wrong answer (#202).

    • Creating the repo is recorded as the operator's step, measured rather than
      assumed: a fleet identity gets 403 on org repo creation and 201 in its own
      namespace (#202).

    • It carries an executable two-layer arming procedure: an immutable candidate
      code SHA and an armed workflow commit on top of it. A single layer is
      self-referential — rewriting a workflow makes a new commit, and a commit
      cannot contain its own object ID (#202).

    • Callers are pinned by layer: composite actions to the candidate code SHA,
      reusable workflows to the armed SHA, which is the only revision whose inner
      checkout points at the fork (#202).

    • The arming gate asserts what each carrier IS, not only that the old literal
      is gone: every repository: equals the fork, every CEREMONY_SELF_REF value
      equal the candidate code SHA, and callers match the layer they belong to
      (#202).

    • It enumerates the carriers from the tree rather than encoding a count, and
      distinguishes ceremony's internal self-checkouts from the consumer checkouts
      that must stay ${{ github.repository }} (#202).

    • Both published snippets are ShellCheck-clean when extracted and linted
      directly, not merely as part of the repository sweep (#202).

    • The checker validates the MANIFEST against the target it was given, so a
      manifest that describes a wrong arming consistently — wrong fork, or the
      armed SHA where the candidate belongs — refuses instead of matching a tree
      rewritten to the same wrong value (#202).

    • The manifest is generated from the PRE-arming tree, which is the only order
      that enumerates the carriers that must change (#202).

    • Both published snippets were driven against a constructed candidate/probe
      pair: deletion, both role swaps, wrong owner, wrong
      SHA, wrong path, a deleted caller class and an extra carrier all refuse, and
      the armed control passes (#202).

    • The manifest records complete caller coordinates, so a path swapped under the
      right owner and SHA is caught (#202).

    • Generator and checker share one domain — ceremony callers — so a third-party
      actions/checkout is neither manifested nor reported as unrecognised (#202).

    • Probe results are written to an issue in the probe repo and carried to the
      ceremony issue by a human, so the probe holds no path that can write to the
      live board (#202).

    • test/docs-sync.test.sh drives the fetch path, which had no coverage at all:
      every existing row passes --source, which overrides the fetch entirely
      (#201).

    • A stubbed curl records the requested URL and serves a tarball, so which
      forge a pin resolves against is a tested decision rather than plumbing (#201).

    • docs/UPSTREAM-SYNC.md — the recurring upstream sync as a runbook: the
      standing resolutions, which side wins each and the issue that decided it
      (#200).

    • It names the step the 0.6.0 sync nearly shipped without: auditing what the
      merge brought in that did not conflict. git merge asks no question
      about a function upstream added to a file this tree owns (#200).

    • It records that the same mechanic applies to state, not just to call sites: a
      resolved region can silently remove a producer whose consumers auto-merged,
      and every one of those consumers degrades to empty rather than erroring
      (#200).

    • It says to verify with the runner's tooling, because "green locally" was
      wrong three times in one sync — untracked files, a pinned linter, and a
      pinned jq whose empty-input exit code differs (#200).

    • It says every branch open across a sync is stale afterwards — Forgejo never
      re-tests an open PR when main moves, so a prior approval is evidence about a
      tree that no longer exists (#200).

    • It says to audit post-merge runs by executed steps rather than colour, and to
      inventory what the sync changed about workflow triggers and jobs first (#200).

    • .upstream-ref records the upstream commit this tree carries, in
      machine-readable form beside the CHANGELOG's prose (#200).

    • test/upstream-delta.test.sh fails the PR that scatters a forge decision
      into a file the inventory does not name. Discovery is derived from the tree,
      so a composite action.yml or a .yaml workflow is seen without anyone
      remembering to add a glob (#200).

    • Discovery is git's, not the filesystem's: ls-files, so the tarballs ci.yml
      extracts into the checkout and any developer cache are not parsed as source
      (#200).

    • It refuses when the recorded commit is missing, absent from the object store,
      or not an ancestor — three distinct refusals, none of them a skip. ci.yml
      fetches that exact object so the test reads local evidence without CI
      omitting it (#200).

    • Its mutation cases drive the real check against a constructed tree, so
      replacing the guard with return 0 reds five of them (#200).

    • docs/CONSUMERS.md states that two ceremonies answer to the same version
      number, and how a consumer says which one it pinned (#200).

    • lib/issue_references.sh — the LOCAL/CROSS classifier, moved out of
      actions/issueflow-reconcile's executable so a second caller can use it
      without sourcing a reconciler, which would run one (#199, #61).

    • test/refs-not-closing.test.sh drives the action's boundary on both
      backends with stubs at the transport, proving one fixture yields the same
      verdict on each — including a closing keyword that appears only in a commit
      message (#199).

    • This tree carries upstream ceremony through 8c3a4d1 (upstream 0.6.0):
      lib/attention.sh, lib/read.sh, actions/refs-not-closing, the guarded
      reads, and the ruling and window rules (#198).

    • test/no-runtime-gh.test.sh — the forge-portability guard: no runtime gh
      outside lib/forge-github.sh unless the file declares
      CEREMONY_FORGE_CLIENT=gh (#198).

    • CHANGELOG.md names the upstream commit this tree carries, so a drill
      record can say which 0.6.0 it exercised (#197, #198).

    • test/labels.test.sh holds the conf's roster and CONTRIBUTING.md's roster
      table to the same set, in both directions, so a roster edit that touches one
      file and not the other goes red instead of drifting quietly (#195).

    • test/forge-backends.test.sh pins the replacement contract: preserve
      unrelated labels across a combined add+remove, an absent removal as a
      successful no-op, the empty set as a full clear, and forge_labels_add
      still POST-only, per ceremony#128 (#192).

    • test/labels-reconcile.test.sh drives a failing write through main() — the
      swallow was in the loop, where a fixture-level probe cannot reach (#192).

    Changed

    • The review panel restores kimi-reviewer-andresmgsl alongside GLM. The
      four-identity panel now requires three cross-vendor approvals after the PR
      author recuses (#224).

    • The review panel names glm-reviewer-andresmgsl in place of
      kimi-reviewer-andresmgsl while that identity is unavailable. The panel
      stays three, so a PR still requires two cross-vendor approvals (#222).

    • test/labels.test.sh's table-side roster mutation names an identity the
      table actually carries. Naming a departed one would mutate nothing and the
      case would pass while proving nothing — #195's rot class one layer down
      (#222).

    • This forge's release line runs 0.4.1 → 0.6.1: versions 0.5.0 and 0.6.0
      arrived here by merge from the read-only upstream and were never released
      on this forge (#220).

    • The ## 0.6.0 section this changelog carries is upstream's — its entries
      describe upstream's work under upstream's issue numbers. The forge port's
      own work ships first in 0.6.1 (#220).

    • docs/RUNNER-PROBES.md records the venue's first delivered drills — the
      #192 asymmetry re-observed on demand under the workflow token, the dispatch
      route's 204 under both identities, and #215's boundary finding — each with
      the probe-issue URL it is recorded in (#202).

    • Two venue lessons join the runbook where the next probe author will look:
      findings must be written to issues because the venue's log route 404s for
      non-admin reads, and report content sent to the forge must never contain a
      credential expression or value (#202).

    Fixed

    • The sweep's bootstrap value crosses the workflow_call boundary as a
      declared input, explicitly passed by the caller — the one channel measured
      to work; the called workflow did not see the caller's event inputs as an
      implicit substitute on this instance (#215).

    • Before the bridge, github.event.inputs was empty inside the called
      workflow, so every dispatch-woken sweep bootstrapped: ~20 label upserts on
      each board event (#215).

    • The caller maps an empty top-level value to no explicitly, so a
      cron-woken sweep can never bootstrap; the declared input also defaults to
      no, so a consumer that passes nothing gets the safe path (#215).

    • The gate feeds the declared input to labels-reconcile unchanged, so an
      invalid value meets the action's own yes|no refusal instead of being
      silently coerced (#215).

    • docs/CONSUMERS.md's published sweep stub carries the same pass-through —
      without it every consumer inherits the defect ceremony fixed for
      itself (#215).

    • issueflow-reconcile sees this forge's issues again. The board gather used
      has("pull_request"), and every Forgejo entry carries that key — so it
      selected zero rows on every sweep while printing reconciled. (#210).

    • Three sites take .pull_request == null, the discriminator the file's own
      comment already specified and that one of its four call sites already used
      (#210).

    • post-merge transitions can fire again: they could not, because the sweep
      saw no issues to transition (#210).

    • blocker:unrequested is judged on this forge again. The head-commit date was
      read from repos/{o}/{r}/commits/{sha}, which Forgejo answers 404 — so
      every sweep degraded and left the blocker unjudged (#209).

    • forge_commit_at is a verb on both backends: GitHub serves a single commit at
      the bare path with the date nested, Forgejo at git/commits/{sha} with it
      under .created. The caller asks for one timestamp and knows neither shape
      (#209).

    • .github/workflows/labels.yml wakes the sweep over REST instead of
      gh workflow run, so a board event reconciles within seconds on any forge
      rather than waiting up to an hour for the scheduled sweep (#205).

    • The workflow-dispatch endpoint has the same shape on both forges, so that
      step no longer decides one: the CEREMONY_FORGE_CLIENT=gh declaration and
      both inline refusals are gone rather than ported (#205).

    • The dispatch supplies its ref explicitly, because REST has no default
      branch where gh workflow run had one, and refuses without it (#205).

    • It takes that ref from the repository, never from GITHUB_REF_NAME — on a
      pull_request_target run that is <n>/merge, which is not a branch (#205).

    • A failed dispatch names the endpoint, the ref and the status, and says that
      an empty 500 body from Forgejo means the workflow name or the ref did not
      resolve — a bare status sends the reader after a server fault that is not
      there (#205).

    • actions/docs-sync fetches the doctrine mirror from the forge named by
      GITHUB_SERVER_URL instead of a hard-coded github.com (#201).

    • The same pin ref names a different tree on each forge, so a consumer's mirror
      was verified against a tree it never pinned — and with HTTP 200, so --check
      reported drift that could not be fixed (#201).

    • A fetch that cannot name its forge now refuses instead of guessing: no
      GITHUB_SERVER_URL and no --source exits naming the variable, having
      reached for no network (#201).

    • A failed fetch names the URL it actually tried, and asks whether the ref
      exists on that forge rather than in the abstract (#201).

    • actions/refs-not-closing gathers over REST through the forge shim instead
      of one GraphQL query, so it produces a real verdict on Forgejo — which
      serves no GraphQL surface at all — rather than refusing (#199).

    • The closing set is parsed by lib/closes_references.sh over the PR body
      and every commit message, unioned. Forgejo honours closing keywords in
      commit messages, so a body-only port would miss a PR that closes an issue
      from a commit subject (#199).

    • The hasNextPage refusal is carried onto the paginated commit read: an
      incomplete gather refuses instead of returning a partial verdict, reusing
      the backend's x-total-count completeness proof (#199).

    • A failed read never reaches the parser. An unread body parses to an empty
      closing set, which is a passing verdict the action never earned (#199).

    • .github/workflows/refs-guard.yml no longer gates the job on the forge.
      A portable action behind a github-only gate is a guard that passes by never
      running (#199, #198).

    • The CEREMONY_FORGE_CLIENT=gh declaration is gone, and the contract test
      asserts its absence: an opt-out with no gh behind it is a standing
      permission slip (#199).

    • Eight runtime gh call sites arrived with the merge outside every conflict
      hunk, in functions upstream added to files this tree already owned. Seven
      are ported onto the shim; the eighth is named with its reason (#198).

    • The open-PR gather reads Refs, not only closing keywords. Reading one side
      for closing links and the other for Refs is what released a live claim in
      crew#321, and this tree carried that shape (#198).

    • The merged record gains merged_at, so post_merge_pr_for_issue answers
      the PR that merged last rather than the highest-numbered one. Without the
      column every sort key ties and the old order returns silently (#198).

    • The open gather feeds open_pr_issues one record per physical body line. A
      whole decoded body as one record loses every declaration including the
      first, and reclaims a claim a live PR was holding (#198).

    • The post-merge nudge links the issue on the forge in play rather than a
      hard-coded github.com (#198).

    • actions/refs-not-closing reports and skips on a forge it cannot speak,
      naming the client and #199, instead of standing red on every PR. It reaches
      the forge zero times, so no verdict is produced either way (#198).

    • .github/workflows/labels.yml's sweep dispatch declares the client it
      speaks and decides the FORGE before the binary, so a Forgejo runner that
      happens to ship gh cannot dispatch against a forge that cannot serve it.
      #205 ports it to REST (#198).

    • actions/refs-not-closing fails closed on a forge it cannot speak, and
      .github/workflows/refs-guard.yml carries the scheduling decision — the
      action never reports a success it did not earn (#198).

    • issue_payload_valid refuses an empty payload on jq 1.6 as well as 1.7.
      jq -e exits 4 on empty input under 1.7 and 0 under 1.6, and this
      instance's runner carries 1.6 — so the guard #247 D3 added to refuse an
      unreadable read was accepting one here (#198).

    • The post-merge nudge strips a trailing slash from the server URL, so a forge
      URL carrying one does not render //owner/repo (#198).

    • .github/scripts/release-path.sh names lib/forge.sh: #191 put the shim on
      the release doors' executable path here, so a doors-unchanged record that
      omitted it was measuring the wrong set (#198).

    • .github/labels.conf names identities that exist on the forge this repo
      lives on. All five it named before were absent, so panel= could never
      converge a review round and triage-actors= made every issue a stray mint
      nobody could normalize (#195).

    • CONTRIBUTING.md's roster table matches the conf: three identities, the
      human row is andres, and the approval count states what panel-minus-author
      actually resolves to on this roster rather than a stale three (#195).

    • Label removal on Forgejo is a full-set PUT, not a per-label DELETE. The
      workflow token gets HTTP 500 on every DELETE .../labels/{id} on this
      instance, so the state machine could only ever ADD labels (#192).

    • Every state:* transition that needs the previous state cleared, and every
      blocker:* that should lift, can now actually clear. They were inert (#192).

    • A label edit that fails is fatal to labels-reconcile, matching
      issueflow-reconcile. One cause had two contradictory policies (#192).

    • A failed write reaches the sweep's exit code: per-PR tolerance is kept for
      READS, but a sweep that could not write exits non-zero and its output carries
      no reconciled. token at all (#192).

    • Every label mutation goes through one checked helper, so clearing
      merge-next or either stale edit fails the sweep too — not only the
      primary state edit (#192).

    • A preserved label keeps the id the issue payload already carried, so
      preservation does not depend on a repository-wide list that has nothing to do
      with the issue (#192).

    • A removal that changes nothing writes nothing, rather than replacing the set
      with itself and opening a race for no state change (#192).

    • Every failure diagnostic on the forgejo backend names the verb as well as the
      path and the status. A read used to say HTTP 500 from 'repos/…', which
      cannot be told from a failed write of the same path (#192).

    • The diagnostic names what was attempted and that it did not happen, instead
      of blaming a missing label and telling the operator to bootstrap — a cause it
      had not established (#192, #101).

    • An add-label the repo does not carry refuses before any write, so a
      replacement PUT can never drop a label nobody asked to remove (#192).
