The suite drives the whole new surface without a network: the family-suffix
dispatch and hard cut, the marker guards firing with the registry
unreachable, the unknown-role refusal listing the resolved source, every
malformed-definition refusal named by key, DIR-vs-REF identity through a
stubbed curl (tags-first precedence pinned), the renderer's box#80 guard,
the one-line pin, and template-lint's whole gate.
Override via RIG_TEMPLATES_REF when the drill was pointed somewhere; else
the pin read from the INSTALLED candidate tree — what actually landed,
never this checkout's copy.
install from this checkout via RIG_INSTALL_SOURCE, assert what landed,
a converging re-run proven by an empty diff, uninstall --all ending in
the absence assert (! -e AND ! -L). test/install-lifecycle.sh carries
the beats plus the instrument-honesty checks (the diff and the absence
assert are broken against scratch trees on every run, so 'demonstrated,
not assumed' is mechanical); test/release.sh gains the local channel's
contract — dir, tarball, loud refusal, never a silent download fallback.

Both fixture digests are computed outside the implementation, so a refactor
that changes the prefix, the hash or the slicing renames the whole fleet and
fails here. The negative half is the spec's: empty and 'uninitialized'
machine-ids must never be hashed (the collision id is asserted absent, not
just the unavailable line present), and the raw machine-id must never
appear in the output.

test/drill.sh awk-extracts the harness's decision functions (the
release.sh pattern) and drives them against fixtures: the ref refusal
names both refs, a loud skip never classifies as a pass, the idempotence
verdict is a real diff that goes non-empty when convergence is broken —
demonstrated mechanically on every CI run — and the record emitter
cannot produce a clean-sweep reading over a skipped leg. CI runs it in
the check job.
The tests caught three real harness bugs before any reviewer could:
printf eating a '- '-leading format as options (a silently empty Failed
section — the exact lie the record exists to prevent), tree_of trusting
GNU readlink -f's exit 0 on a dangling final component, and the arg
refusals sitting behind the root check in violation of the repo's own
validated-before-root doctrine.

The fourth agent tenant, through the one parameterized mechanism
(lib/tenant-config.sh + bootstrap-tenant.sh) — never a fifth
hand-maintained copy. The official installer (code.kimi.com/install.sh)
is uv-managed and lands kimi in ~/.local/bin, run as the tenant user
(grok's lesson: a root-owned install under a 0700 home is a CLI that
exists and cannot run); no node, uv brings its own Python. The context
file lands at ~/.kimi/AGENTS.md — the <dotdir>/AGENTS.md convention —
with an honest note that kimi documents only project-level AGENTS.md

Drill records move from sections inside drill/RUNS.md to one file per
version at drills/<version>.md.
The old guard had to parse headings: an em-dash prefix match, an optional
" — DATE" tail, a whole-version comparison so 0.3.0-rc1 could not satisfy
0.3.0, and a separate non-blank-body rule. All of it existed only because
records shared one file, and both sibling repos shipped a defect out of
that complexity in review — a `sed '/./,$!d'` extractor where `.` matches
a space (box#149, cast#138), and heading-grammar drift. One file per
version makes nearly all of it unrepresentable: 0.3.0.md and 0.3.0-rc1.md
are different files, and the filesystem does the whole-version comparison.
The awk drill_section() machinery is gone. What survives is the one rule
splitting the files does not make unrepresentable: a file of only
whitespace is not a record.
Plain drills/, NOT .drills/ — a dot-directory is invisible to globs
without dotglob, the cause of #70 here and box#116/box#118.
drill/RUNS.md is deleted; it was created in this same unmerged PR, held no
real records, and its useful reasoning moves to drills/README.md. (box
keeps ITS drill/RUNS.md — that one is a genuine harness log.)
Also corrects the ordering framing in CONTRIBUTING and the new README: the
three repos' drills are INDEPENDENT, run in any order. What makes that safe
is that each pins the same fixed set of candidate refs, so box and rig
measure the same pair — that, not sequencing, is what dissolves the mutual
recursion.

CONTRIBUTING has always required a real-hardware drill on a release, and
nothing enforced it — so no release in this family has ever carried one.
Every other ceremony step is checked by a script; the one that costs an
afternoon was checked by a reviewer remembering. A reviewer bot finally
blocked on it.
- drill/RUNS.md: rig's own run log, starting EMPTY of records. rig has no
drill harness of its own yet; the harness lives in box's drill/ and this
file is the record, not the instrument.
- .github/scripts/drill-recorded.sh: a -dev tree asserts nothing; a bare
VERSION requires a non-empty '## Release drill — X.Y.Z' section, version
matched WHOLE so an -rc1 record is not evidence for the final.
- Per-repo on purpose. A cross-repo lookup into box fails on a token, a fork
checkout or a network blip, and all of those degrade to 'pass' on precisely
the tree that ships — the UNREADABLE-vs-NONE shape #90 fixed.
- It asks for a RECORD, not a RESULT, so a maintainer waiver stays possible
but has to be written down under that version.
- Fixtures carry their own VERSION and RUNS.md (heavy-duty/box#146: fixtures
reading the repo's real VERSION exercised only the -dev branch and went red
first while cutting a release).

The monotonic step is the LAST step of its job, so stopping only at the next
`- name:` ran the block into the job below and swallowed that job level `if:`.
Unanchored `grep -q "if:"` then fired on it — the same bug the scoping was
meant to fix, moved from "any step in the file" to "this step plus the head of
the next job".
Terminates on a new step OR a new job now, and the key is anchored so an `if:`
inside a `run:` line is not mistaken for a step condition.
Found by claude-bot-andresmgsl on heavy-duty/box#144; this port carried the
identical awk.

Dropping the pull_request gate made merge_base == HEAD a routine path rather
than a degradation, and the success line did not follow. On every push to main
the step printed "all N release heading(s) at the merge base are still present"
— a containment claim on the one event where deletion is undetectable, since
the comparison is the file against itself.
That is the dishonesty this PR fixed in the skip messages, surviving in the
success message. The line now has two forms: containment vacuous, naming
uniqueness as the half that ran, or the existing containment wording when a
real base exists. Both pinned, plus a negative that the two do not collapse.
The "an untouched branch passes" case turned out to be this exact shape — its
fixture never commits on 'work', so it was asserting containment on a
self-comparison. Its assertion moved to uniqueness's count, and a companion
case with a real base now carries the containment wording it used to claim.
Also scopes the ci.yml negative pin to the monotonic step's own block. As a
file-wide grep it forbade any FUTURE step from being pull_request-gated and
would have failed citing #98 when one legitimately was. A companion check
keeps the awk extractor from matching nothing and going tautological.
Ported from heavy-duty/box#144 (box@94d830c).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Uniqueness is a property of HEAD alone — no base ref, no merge base, no base
blob. It sat downstream of all three, so every degradation path returned
success on a tree carrying a duplicate.
The base-blob path was the worst: a branch that introduces CHANGELOG.md hit a
bare `exit 0` on a message that was true about deletion and silent about the
duplicate in front of it. STRICT could not reach it — STRICT guards the two
skip() calls, and that is not one of them.
That inverted the two halves. Deletion needs a diff to see; duplication is the
one changelog_section() actually mis-renders, stopping at the second heading
and truncating the release's real body. The half with the live extraction bug
behind it had the most ways to silently not run.
Moved, not rewritten. The skip messages now say containment skipped and that
uniqueness already passed. The CI step is no longer pull_request-only, with a
`github.ref_name` fallback because base_ref is empty on a push and a bare
`origin/` under STRICT would redden every push to main. The script is also now
100755, matching cast's copy of the same file.
Regression cases pin the ORDER, not the exit code: verified they go red
against the pre-fix script (7 failures) and green against the fixed one.
Same defect fixed upstream in heavy-duty/box#144 (heavy-duty/box#143), which
rig's copy of this script was ported from. Found by claude-bot-andresmgsl and
codex-bot-andresmgsl reviewing #99.

The arming rule (#66) guards ONE heading — does the top section agree with
VERSION? — and is silent about the rest of the file. The failure that lives
there is an author adding an entry under `## Unreleased` who replaces the
shipped heading below it instead of inserting above it. git merges the
one-line edit cleanly, `changelog_armed()` stays green (correctly: the top
section is still right), and the shipped release loses its section entirely.
It surfaces a whole release later, when release.yml refuses to publish a
section `changelog_section()` can no longer find by heading.
"A heading disappeared" is a property of a DIFF, not of a tree, so this is
its own script rather than a clause in the arming check — which is also
driven from test/release.sh against constructed non-git VERSION + CHANGELOG
pairs that could not express it. The rule needs no tuning: release headings
are append-only, so SUPERSET is exact, and the ceremony's stamp passes by
construction because `Unreleased` fails the version shape.
Ported from heavy-duty/box#122, with box's second half intact: containment
cannot catch a DUPLICATED heading, since the duplicate is head-side surplus
and `comm -23` is blind to extras there — so uniqueness on HEAD is asserted
alongside it. rig's symptom differs from box's and the comments say so:
box's extractor re-arms on every `## ` line and ABSORBS what sits between
the copies, while rig's `changelog_section()` has `if (found) exit` and
TRUNCATES at the second copy, dropping the release's real body.
Wired on pull requests only (on a push to main the merge base is HEAD, so
the assert is vacuous), with CHANGELOG_MONOTONIC_STRICT=1 and fetch-depth: 0
so a checkout that cannot reach the base ref fails rather than skipping
quietly forever.

Round 2 review (claude-bot, codex-bot — both raised this, independently).
The `return` added in round 1 aborted all of reconcile_pr, not just the
label edit. Everything below it is independent of the state:* taxonomy:
`merge-next` clearing and the stale sweep both stopped running. So a
cold-start repo left `merge-next` claiming "merge this one next" on a PR
the board had moved to the agent — the original false-invitation bug,
reintroduced inside the very fix meant to survive a cold start.
It was also a regression against main, not just a missed improvement:
the old code failed the `gh issue edit`, logged, and fell through to both
blocks. Round 1 turned a per-edit failure into a per-PR abort.
Now a `skip_edit` flag skips only the edit and control reaches the rest.
Also from review: drop the dead `"$desired"` term from the filter loop
(it was appended and then unconditionally continued past), and turn
`[ -n "$missing" ] && log` into a proper `elif` rather than an
&&-as-statement under `set -e`.
Adds the first four fixtures that exercise reconcile_pr itself, stubbing
run/gh to probe a cold-start repo against a bootstrapped one. Everything
before this tested pure functions, which is exactly why a per-PR return
got through: nothing could see it.
Fixtures 68 -> 72.

`sshd -t` folds two questions into one exit code — is the merged config
parseable, and is the privilege-separation directory there. Both call
sites ran it as `sshd -t 2>/dev/null` and read any non-zero exit as the
first question's answer, discarding the line that named the second.
Bootstrap aborted with "sshd rejects the merged config", a verdict sshd
never reached, and sent the operator to audit /etc/ssh files that were
never broken. /run is a tmpfs and /run/sshd is ssh.service's
RuntimeDirectory, so it is legitimately absent under socket activation
on a box whose SSH door is serving connections normally.
Classification is now a pure, sourceable sshd_privsep_gap: the status is
the verdict, the text only classifies a failure, so a passing sshd -t is
never diverted. sshd_config_ok repairs the gap with an idempotent
install -d and retests once. A genuine parse refusal still refuses and
the rollback is untouched.
Refusals now carry sshd's own stderr. users-close-root had the identical
three lines and now reaches the shared judgement through lib/sshd.sh
instead of keeping a second copy of it.

Round 1 review (claude-bot, codex-bot — both raised 1 and 2).
1. `gh issue edit --add-label` rejects the WHOLE call on one unknown
label name, and the blocker:* labels are created only by the
dispatch-only bootstrap. So the first sweep after this lands would
have converged NOTHING on exactly the PRs this change exists to heal,
surfacing only as a WARNING in a cron log. Batching state and blockers
into one edit for anti-flicker is what widened that blast radius.
Every label about to be ADDED is now filtered against the repo's real
label set, read once per sweep; removals need no filter because they
are built from has_label. An unreadable label set does not filter, so
a failed read cannot silently strip the board.
2. blocker:unrequested fired only on MISSING, so a round whose approvals
all staled behind a push — with nothing re-requested — carried no
blocker at all, though the agent owes exactly the same ask. Now
MISSING or STALE: both mean this head has no verdict from that
reviewer.
3. LABELS.md: restore the substantive "Leaves when" text for
state:addressing, and widen the blocker:unrequested row to name both
shapes now that (2) changes what the label means.
Fixtures 66 -> 68.

When `gh pr view` failed, the fallback left the `statusCheckRollup` key
absent, and `(.statusCheckRollup // [])` collapsed that into the same
NONE as a PR with genuinely no checks. NONE blocks nothing, so an API
hiccup presented the PR as mergeable by a human — an unknown certified
as green, the shape #87 exists to stop, in the one place it never looked.
checks_state now returns UNREADABLE for an absent key versus NONE for a
present-but-empty array, and the sweep leaves an UNREADABLE PR alone
rather than recomputing on facts it did not read. Not a blocker on
purpose: blocking would flap the board on one bad call.
Fixtures 64 -> 66.

Retires `state:needs-rebase` in favour of two independent axes: `state:*`
(whose ball, exactly one) and `blocker:*` (what is in the way, additive).
One rule joins them: `state:needs-human` requires zero blockers.
The single-label design projected independent facts — mergeability, check
status, review round — onto one totally-ordered value, so one always won
and the rest vanished. Every precedence bug this machine has had lived on
that ordering. Blockers are a set, so there is no precedence between them
to get wrong.
`state:bots-reviewing` tightens to mean strictly "a request is live"; a
ready PR nobody was asked to review is now `state:addressing` +
`blocker:unrequested`. The reconciler strips the retired
`state:needs-rebase` on sight via a RETIRED array.
Also wires test/labels-reconcile.sh into CI, where it had never run.
Fixtures 51 -> 64.

box, rig and cast carry the same reconciler, and the three had drifted to
functionally identical but textually different versions of checks_state
after the same fix was reached independently in each repo. Comment prose
and one fixture helper name differed, so the files were no longer
byte-identical and the convergence check had nothing to compare.
Standardised on the cast wording for checks_state and on the canonical
test/labels-reconcile.sh, which carries the same 51 fixtures under
overlap_() where this repo had named the helper drained_(). No behaviour
change: the diff to the reconciler is comments only, and the suite is
unchanged at 51 passed, 0 failed.
Only this repo's own scope:* rows are preserved as local content.

The dating expression took the newest stamp each run carries. That reads
`completedAt` for a finished run and `startedAt` for a live one, so the
comparison comes down to "when this one ended" against "when that one
began" — which is not an ordering on runs at all.
A run cancelled by the concurrency group does not stop the instant its
replacement starts: the runner has to receive the signal and wind down. So
`predecessor.completedAt > successor.startedAt` is the ordinary case, not a
corner. On the box#137 tip that motivated the supersede rule the window was
13s wide — the superseding run started 15:19:38, the run it cancelled did
not finish until 15:19:51 — and for that whole window the dying predecessor
out-dated its own live replacement, so `last` discarded the replacement and
judged the corpse.
Both round-3 failure modes came back inside that window, narrowed rather
than closed: a draining CANCELLED predecessor reported FAILURE and sent the
agent to fix nothing, and a draining SUCCESS predecessor reported SUCCESS —
mergeable, all bots approve, state:needs-human — over a tree whose merge
button branch protection had already disabled. #136 again, one field over.
Dated by `first` of the preference-ordered stamps rather than `max` of
them: start time if the run recorded one, falling back only if it did not.
The sentinel filtering is unchanged, and finished runs still date by
completion when that is all they carry, so the supersede rule keeps the
case it exists for.
Found independently by claude-bot-andresmgsl and codex-bot-andresmgsl.
No existing fixture could express it — `run_()` carries no startedAt, so
every supersede fixture spaced the predecessor's completion safely before
the successor's start, the same blind spot as round 3 one field over. New
`drained_()` helper pins both directions; fixtures 48 -> 51 (with the
reverse-direction in-flight fixture ported from cast#128).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The supersede collapse added in the previous commit dated each run by
`.completedAt // .startedAt // .createdAt`. A run still in flight has no
completion, but `gh` does not omit the field: its Go struct marshals the
zero time as the string "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z", and jq's `//` falls
through null and false only. The sentinel was therefore taken as the sort
key, and it sorts before every real timestamp — so the LIVE re-run became
the oldest entry in its context, `last` discarded it, and the run it
superseded was judged instead.
That restored #136 through the fix for it: a green context with a
replacement mid-flight reported SUCCESS, so a PR read mergeable, green,
all bots approve — state:needs-human — while branch protection had the
merge button disabled. It also narrowed rather than removed the flap the
supersede rule exists to prevent: between "run A cancelled by the
concurrency group" and "run B finishes", the PR reported FAILURE and the
agent was sent to fix something that was not broken.
Runs are now dated by the newest timestamp they actually carry, with both
spellings of absent discarded (null, and the zero sentinel). Entries that
carry no usable timestamp sort LAST rather than first: something we cannot
date is most likely the thing just created, and treating it as newest
keeps an undateable in-flight run from being discarded in favour of a
stale success. Every ambiguity resolves toward "not settled".
Found independently by claude-bot-andresmgsl and codex-bot-andresmgsl.
The fixtures could not have caught it: `run_()` always emits a real
completedAt, so every supersede fixture was a race between two finished
runs, and the bug lived in the one shape the helper could not express.
New `inflight_()` helper covers it; fixtures 44 -> 48.

Round 2 review found two ways the "a human could merge this right now"
invariant still leaked, both of which let state:needs-human land on a PR
the button would refuse.
The check-rollup classifier enumerated the outcomes that block and
defaulted the rest to SUCCESS, so ERROR, CANCELLED and STALE fell through
into green. Inverted to an allow-list of the outcomes that DON'T block
(SUCCESS, NEUTRAL, SKIPPED, plus the pending set); everything else,
including an outcome neither enum has today, blocks. The rollup mixes
CheckRun.conclusion with StatusContext.state and an outcome the list
forgets is one we cannot certify as mergeable — a false FAILURE parks the
PR on the agent, a false SUCCESS invites a bad merge. The classifier also
moved out of main() into checks_state(), which is why no fixture caught
this: it was inline in the fetch loop and the jq itself was untestable.
Once CANCELLED blocks, superseded runs must be dropped first — a re-run
does not evict the run it replaced, and judging every entry would strand
every re-run PR in needs-rebase. Each context now collapses to its newest
entry, keyed on workflow + job name because a bare job name is only
unique within its workflow.
decide_state() returned from inside the bot loop on the first MISSING, so
a STALE belonging to a later bot in BOTS was never read: a round that was
both unfinished and staled came out needs-human with nothing bound to the
head. The whole round is now collected before any precedence is applied,
STALE ahead of MISSING. The MISSING-yields-to-an-explicit-human-request
rule is untouched.
Fixtures 29 -> 44, pinning the whole check-outcome enum, the supersede
rule in both orders, and the mixed round at both ends of BOTS.

Ported from heavy-duty/box#137 (heavy-duty/box#136) so the three repos'
reconcilers stay byte-identical. The state machine here was byte-identical to
box's before this change, and remains so after -- only the scope:* taxonomy
differs, correctly.
decide_state() derived state from three inputs -- draft flag, requested
reviewers, submitted reviews -- and read NOTHING about mergeability or checks.
With the `if requested "$HUMAN"` short-circuit at the top of its precedence,
the label was sticky: once the maintainer was requested, a PR read
state:needs-human through conflicts, through red CI, through a force-push that
staled every approval.
This repo paid for it directly. During the ten-PR batch merged today, every
merge re-conflicted the PRs below it through CHANGELOG.md, and each kept its
state:needs-human label throughout -- inviting merges that could not happen.
It was caught only by opening them one at a time, which is the work the label
exists to save.
The rule the label now keeps: state:needs-human means a human could merge this
RIGHT NOW, so anything making that false outranks the request that put it
there.
CONFLICTING or failing checks -> state:needs-rebase (new; the agent's to fix)
approvals staled by a push -> state:addressing (nobody reviewed this tree)
An UNFINISHED round still yields to an explicit human request -- MISSING
(nobody has reviewed yet) is a different fact from STALE (everyone reviewed
something else). UNKNOWN mergeability is NOT treated as unmergeable: GitHub
reports it for about a minute after every merge, and flapping every open PR
through needs-rebase on each merge would be worse than the bug. A failed read
degrades to the same "do not know" value.
Also adds merge-next: queue order is intent, so the reconciler never sets it,
only CLEARS it once the PR stops being mergeable-by-a-human.
Fixtures 19 -> 29, including that UNKNOWN does not trigger needs-rebase and a
draft outranks a conflict. No live dry-run evidence here -- this repo has no
open PRs right now -- so the fixtures and box's live dry-run are the proof.

manifest_value, manifest_has and manifest_foreign each read the file with a
bare `while read`, which stops at EOF without ever handing over a populated
partial line. An unterminated final line therefore read as ABSENT — and
absent is exactly the input both convergence rules key off, so the file's
last line was the one least able to survive the miss.
Three failures, in descending order of how much they cost:
- A file truncated mid-write ends AT bootstrapped_at, so the unreadable line
is the birth stamp itself. Rule 1 saw no at-stamp and regenerated the pair
as now() — overwriting the one field that can never be reconstructed. A
fixture born 2020-01-01 came back stamped with the current clock.
- A whole file whose last line is converged_at read as empty, so Rule 2's
one-time repair re-fired on EVERY run: the render stopped being a function
of (existing file, running version) and the clock reached the file after
all. This is the crux property of the feature, broken by a missing byte.
- manifest_foreign dropped an unterminated foreign line entirely, so the
writer ate a later command's provenance — the exact preservation contract
the function exists to keep.
The idiom is the repo's own: lib/users-config.sh:49 reads
`|| [ -n "$line" ]` for the same reason.
Reading the line correctly also repairs the file, since the rewritten copy
is newline-terminated — asserted as "the source plus the newline it was
missing, and nothing else", because a plain ends-in-newline check stays
green on an implementation that drops the final line.
7 tests, each observed RED against the unfixed reader.

A rig-managed machine recorded nothing about its own provenance. The entire
durable output of a bootstrap run was one line in /etc/rig/role, and that line
says what the box IS, never what built it. VERSION was read in exactly one
place (bin/rig:9, for --version) and reports the currently INSTALLED tree, not
the one that ran; there was no timestamp anywhere in the codebase.
bootstrap now stamps a second file beside the marker: schema=1, a birth pair
(bootstrapped_by/_at, pinned forever) and a latest pair (converged_by/_at).
key=value, one per line, 0644 — the one file that must stay readable on the
most broken machine in the fleet, where there is no YAML parser and no jq.
`rig manifest [<key>]` reads it back.
Only DECIDED facts go in, which is what keeps bootstrap.sh:3's convergence
contract intact: bootstrapped_* is first-write-wins, and converged_* updates
only when the version actually differs — it is the time the converging version
last changed, not the time of the last run. The renderer is pure, so a re-run
by the same rig is byte-identical no matter where the clock is, and the
cmp-guard stays silent. OBSERVED facts (cores, RAM, disk, kernel) stay out:
they go stale on their own and belong to `rig platform` (#64).
/etc/rig/role is untouched.
Closes#61
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous commit's test and README described a freshly bootstrapped
machine as lacking converged_* and rendering 'not recorded'. That pins the
wrong contract: #61 states plainly that "on a fresh machine both pairs are
written with equal values", and rule 2 only suppresses converged_* churn on
a later same-version re-run.
So two identical lines mean bootstrapped-and-never-re-converged, and a
manifest missing the pair is partial or hand-edited rather than fresh --
no writer produces it. The graceful degradation stays for that case, still
without backfilling from birth, which would invent a convergence that never
happened.
The reader itself was already correct; this fixes the fixture and the prose
that claimed otherwise.
Found in review of #74.
Refs #64
The reader asked for `version` and `bootstrapped`. #61 specifies `schema`,
`bootstrapped_by`/`bootstrapped_at` and `converged_by`/`converged_at` — so
no writer would ever have produced the keys being read, and the day #61
landed this command would have rendered 'unknown' with the timestamp
omitted, forever, with nothing to say why.
Keyed to #61's spelling, with fixtures carrying that schema verbatim so
the contract is pinned rather than assumed. Birth and latest are reported
separately and neither is inferred from the other: under #61 rule 2
converged_* is written only when the version differs, so its absence is a
legitimate state on a freshly bootstrapped box, printed 'not recorded'
rather than backfilled from birth. A manifest whose schema this rig does
not know is named as such instead of being half-read in silence.

`while IFS='=' read -r k v` drops an unterminated final line: read returns
1 at EOF even having filled k and v. A manifest ending `bootstrapped=...Z`
with no trailing \n rendered `RIG 1.2.3` with the timestamp silently gone
— the version read fine, so nothing looked wrong.
Guarded with `|| [ -n "$k" ]`, the same shape parse_users_file already
uses (lib/users-config.sh:47). #61's writer should not have to know
whether this reader tolerates a missing newline.
Also make human_b fall back like human_kb. With numfmt absent, memory
degraded to a raw number while disk printed 'unknown' beside it, from data
already in hand.
Both found in review of #74.

rig read no hardware at all. The single exception was `uname -m` in
runner-install.sh, used to pick a runner tarball and then discarded — so
"is this the 32GB one, or the M900?" was a question you answered by
logging in and running free -h, nproc, df -h and uname -r by hand, four
commands deep, on a machine you were already unsure about.
`rig platform` prints hostname, OS, kernel, CPU, memory, disk and
virtualization, then a provenance block: which rig, when, and the role
marker's traits.
It COMPUTES rather than stores, and that is the design rather than an
implementation detail. Specs change without rig doing anything — RAM
added, root disk resized, the unattended-upgrades bootstrap itself
enables patching the kernel — so a stored spec is stale the moment the
machine changes, and refreshing one on every run would collide with
bootstrap's "safe to re-run; a second run changes nothing" contract.
Nothing is written, so nothing can go stale.
The corollary is deliberate: reading only /proc, uname, /etc/os-release,
df and systemd-detect-virt means no root, no network, and it runs on a
pristine Debian box rig has never bootstrapped — useful for deciding
what to converge a machine into, not only for auditing it afterwards.
That also makes it the rare rig command the harness can RUN for real
rather than grep: the tests assert the answer describes the actual test
machine (kernel and hostname compared against independently computed
values), and assert it writes nothing.
Both known traps are handled explicitly. /etc/os-release is sourced in a
SUBSHELL — it defines VERSION, NAME and ID and would otherwise clobber
same-named script variables, the form every other site in this tree uses
and test/cli.sh already greps for. systemd-detect-virt exits non-zero on
bare metal while printing 'none', a normal answer that set -e would
otherwise turn into a failed run, so it is wrapped in `|| true`.
Provenance is read, never written, and degrades per file.
/etc/rig/manifest is #61 and does not exist yet, so that line reads
'not bootstrapped' on every machine today; the command ships complete
without it and neither blocks the other.
Named `platform` and not `status`: `users status` and `runner status`
cross-check recorded against live state and print DRIFT, and a command
that records nothing cannot drift, so calling it status would borrow a
promise it structurally cannot make. It also leaves `rig status` free
for the machine-wide roll-up it will eventually want to be.

`if [ "$AT_RISK" -gt 0 ]` could be mutated to `-gt 1` and the whole suite
stayed green — a users file that revokes the last remaining operator would
have proceeded without asking, which is the single-operator box the gate
exists for.
Neither neighbouring pin bit: the condition grep pins the gate's trigger
(zero users AND a readable ledger), and the deferred-threshold negative only
matches a comparison against a $-variable, so a literal floor slipped past
both.
Pinned as a pattern rather than the literal line, so `${AT_RISK}` or extra
spacing does not fail a correct gate while any other floor does; `-ge 1` is
accepted as the same statement spelled differently.

A users file naming zero users is a valid instruction to revoke every
operator on the box, and it is indistinguishable from the file a stray '>'
produces. The per-user warnings apply already emitted arrive after the
decision and scale wrong: twenty operators is twenty lines of scrollback,
so the signal was loudest exactly where it read as noise.
The /etc/rig/users ledger draws the line apply needs. An empty file against
an empty ledger is an unambiguous no-op; against a populated one it closes
every named door. Only the second now stops, states how many operators are
at risk, and requires explicit consent: --yes, RIG_YES=1 (the
installer-family variable bin/rig's uninstall_confirm already reads), or a
y on a TTY. Without a terminal and without consent it exits 2 in that same
refusal's words, rather than assume a yes it cannot ask for or hang on a
prompt nothing can answer.
A confirmation, not bootstrap's flat refusal of the same file (#57/#59):
bootstrap asserts who lives on a box, apply converges, and converging to
zero stays a legitimate de-provisioning. Ledger entries already marked
revoked do not count toward the number, so a second identical run stays the
silent no-op convergence promises.
Mass revocation below the empty-file bright line is deliberately still
ungated — that needs a threshold someone has to justify.
