fix(198): the workflow declares and refuses instead of being exempted by name (#198)
@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl's blocker 1 is right and the filename exemption was
the wrong shape. It exempted the whole FILE — any later `gh` call anywhere in
labels.yml would have ridden in free — and it let the merge ship a step that
dies with `command not found` on every sweep on this forge, which #197's bar
does not permit.

The declaration mechanism already existed; a workflow simply could not reach
it. It can: `CEREMONY_FORGE_CLIENT: gh` in the step's env is the same
declaration actions/refs-not-closing carries, and the refusal that a script
gets from forge_preflight is inline here because a workflow has no shell to
call it from. The dispatch now warns by name, cites #205, and exits 0 rather
than reddening every sweep for a known gap.

So the guard needs no exemption list at all. It now requires the pair —
declared AND refusing — and reports a declaration that carries no refusal,
which is a permission slip for `command not found`.

That predicate was wrong on its first write, and its mutation test caught it:
`refuses_when_unavailable` matched the word `forge_preflight` inside
labels.yml's own comment explaining that it has NO forge_preflight to call. A
guard reading prose as evidence is the blind sweep again, in the guard written
to forbid it. Comments are stripped now, as gh_calls already stripped them.

Blocker 4: the nudge strips a trailing slash from the server URL. Reverting the
strip reds two cases.

Blockers 2 and 3 were already fixed in 97e63ac, before either review landed.

test/run.sh 28 files 0 failed under CI's env; shellcheck 0.10.0 (CI's pin),
actionlint, self-ref, marker, vendored and changelog-armed all clean, with
every file tracked this time.

Added

  • 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).

Fixed

  • 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 refuses by name on a runner without it, instead of dying with command not found on every sweep. #205 ports it to REST (#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).
