codex, grok and kimi all landed on the same hole at e42ba31, and they are
right. The record row keyed only on fj_took, so install/status/remove failures
called `no` without gating it. A dispatched job only needs SOMETHING answering
runs-on: drill — and this leg removes locally, telling the operator to delete
the stale runner by hand, so a leftover drill-labeled runner from the previous
drill is the designed-for aftermath, not a contrived case. It answers the
fixture exactly, and the row then read "PASS — registered, took a job,
removed" for a drill whose install never happened.
The exit code was never wrong: every one of those failures also called `no`.
What was wrong is the row, and the row is what outlives the run in
drills/<v>.md. A row claiming a lifecycle that did not happen is exactly what
the gate exists to refuse — kimi's framing, and it is the right one.
forgejo_leg_row folds all five assertions, and the leg no longer dispatches
after install or status has failed: a foreign runner's success could only ever
be evidence about someone else's runner. The regression composes the real
functions over a payload carrying a newer successful run, the way the leg
composes them.
The GitHub leg has the identical shape and is byte-frozen by #129's contract;
left alone deliberately, and worth a sibling issue for triage.

Round 2 of !130. Both blockers were mine, and one was the same mistake I had
just fixed one layer up.
1. fj_pre still took `head -n1`. The verdict folds max over every id, but the
PRE-DISPATCH snapshot did not, so an oldest-first payload named an old run
as the baseline — and a later poll finding the same body then read the
PREVIOUS drill's run as this dispatch's result. That is a false PASS on the
take-a-job assertion, strictly worse than the false FAIL entry[0] caused
inside the verdict. Both sides now share forgejo_max_task_id, and a test
composes them the way the leg does so the pair cannot drift apart again.
2. test/drill.sh copied its pretty-printed fixture from /tmp/fjfix — a scratch
path that existed only on the box the fix was built on. Everywhere else the
cp failed, the guard returned pending, and the suite was 65/66. The claimed
66/66 was true on one machine. The fixture is written inline like every
other one; verified by deleting the scratch dir and running the suite from
a clean tree under env -i.

Addresses grok's and kimi's REQUEST_CHANGES on !130.
1. forgejo_run_verdict read only the FIRST entry of actions/tasks. That
payload accumulates, so the moment a repo is drilled twice our run shares
it with older ones — and nothing documents the sort order. A green job
then reports as a timeout: a false FAILURE on the gate this leg exists to
provide. It now inspects every entry and lets the newest id above pre_id
decide. Newlines are stripped first, so a pretty-printed payload parses
like a compact one.
2. A mint that yielded nothing degraded to SKIPPED "no registration token
source" — violating #129's own acceptance ("token source present but the
instance is unreachable -> the leg FAILS; it must not skip and must not
pass") and sending the operator to check an env var they had already set.
forgejo_token_verdict separates absent inputs from a configured leg that
could not mint; only the former skips.
3. The pre---yes confirm block still announced a GitHub runner alone.

#109 shipped `rig forgejo-runner` and the drill never touched it, so the
release gate could pass with the whole family broken. Its only coverage was
15 argument-handling checks in test/cli.sh.
The Forgejo half cannot be a copy of the GitHub one. Measured against
forgejo.heavyduty.builders (8.0.3+gitea-1.22.0), not read from the docs:
GET actions/tasks carries NO `conclusion` field — `status` holds the terminal
outcome — `id` is a global task id while the URL ends in run_number, and the
payload lists ASSIGNED tasks only, so a queued run is invisible (measured:
200s of total_count 0 while the web UI showed the run). That makes "no new
id" the only signal the runner never took the job, which is the verdict this
leg exists to produce.
forgejo_run_verdict() is the testable core of that, grep-and-sed rather than
jq for the same reason json_field() is. Tests were written first and cover
the cases that must NOT pass: a stale run with the pre-dispatch id, an
assigned-but-still-running task, and a cancelled run.

claude REQUEST_CHANGES on 1c9a245: the all-candidates-fail path still
interpolated multi-line BOX_MANUAL into one warn, orphaning the or: line
and leaving try: non-pasteable on the default host.
- box_manual_emit log|warn prints one recovery line at a time
- single-candidate hosts (GitHub) get a bare pasteable command (no try:)
- multi-candidate keeps try:/or: prefixes
- never ${BOX_MANUAL} inside a log/warn string
- cli.sh asserts the emission invariant
codex REQUEST_CHANGES on !114 / #125: multi-candidate recovery was
rendered as `curl A | bash; if that 404s: curl B | bash`, which
`bash -n` rejects (exit 2). Operators on RIG_SKIP_BOX_INSTALL / no-curl
/ all-candidates-failed paths were handed non-executable recovery.
- box_manual_cmd / box_manual_text: one pasteable command per candidate
- display as separate `try:` / `or:` lines (newlines, no prose join)
- post-probe rewrite still collapses to the URL that worked
- execution tests: both Forgejo URLs visible; each command passes bash -n
Claude re-review on c7d56d3:
- Group the installer-fn extracts in test/release.sh (SC2129).
- BOX_MANUAL on multi-candidate hosts lists every URL so BOX_REF=main
never hands the operator only a 404ing /raw/tag/ form.
- Execute box_install_urls under the harness (tag-before-branch order).
- Cover Forgejo's no-release 404 path in resolve_latest_tag.
Claude REQUEST_CHANGES on !114: the latest-release path must never fall
through to refs/heads/<tag> (would install a branch while INSTALLED_FROM
still names the release). release_tag_url is the single refs/tags URL on
every forge; regression test drives the heads-only stub.
Also restore coolify Documentation= to github.com — forge flip needs an
@andres ruling, not a shipped default in this PR.
Address codex REQUEST_CHANGES + claude's live Forgejo measurements:
- ref_candidate_urls is host-only: same refs/tags then refs/heads on every
forge (Forgejo serves both paths; bare /archive/<ref> no longer special).
- bootstrap box raw fetch tries /raw/tag/ then /raw/branch/ and never
guesses kind from spelling; download is separate from execute.
- BOX_HOST defaults through RIG_HOST; comments narrow the zero-GitHub claim
(box@0.9.0 installer still hardcodes GitHub for its archive).
- SC2016 suppressions on the new grep assertions; tests updated.
install.sh resolves releases and archive URLs through RIG_HOST (default
GitHub), using Forgejo's single /archive/<ref>.tar.gz form and the same
/releases/latest redirect grammar. Bootstrap's box fetch gets BOX_HOST
with forge-aware raw-file URLs. Refusal hints and coolify Documentation=
stop pointing only at GitHub.
Closes#111
The six ceremony actions in ci.yml are step `uses:` references, and a bare
step reference resolves through FORGEJO__actions__DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL — which
this forge points at code.forgejo.org, where heavy-duty/ceremony does not
exist. Measured with a registered runner on the instance: `git clone
https://code.forgejo.org/heavy-duty/ceremony` -> 404, so every guard fails the
moment rig's own CI runs on the forge. Those six become absolute.
The two reusable-workflow callers do NOT move, and this is the correction to
the original "make all eight absolute" ruling. A reusable `uses:` never
consults DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL; it resolves against the runner's own instance,
so both callers already fetch ceremony from this forge and expand. Absolutising
release.yml's would actively break CI: ceremony's docs-sync reads rig's pin out
of that one line with a grep anchored to the bare spelling, so the prefix makes
the pin invisible and docs-sync exits 1 with "no pin line ... found none".
actions/checkout@v4 stays bare in all three places — the mirror serves it, and
that is exactly what DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL is for. The pin stays @0.3.0
throughout; no .ceremony/ edit, no pin bump.
test/cli.sh pins all three shapes, including the docs-sync grep verbatim, so
ceremony's parser and rig's caller cannot drift apart silently.

Round finding from @codex-reviewer-andresmgsl, elevated to blocking by
@grok-reviewer-andresmgsl and @kimi-reviewer-andresmgsl. Unanimous, and right.
creds.md called the registration token "short-lived" and said it was "consumed
at registration". Both are GitHub's facts, copied across the forge boundary
with the rest of the sibling's shape. Forgejo's primary source, read rather
than inferred:
models/actions/runner_token.go — ActionRunnerToken has NO expiry field. Only
IsActive, Created, Updated. NewRunnerToken flips IsActive false on prior
tokens at the same scope and only there, so a token dies when somebody mints
its replacement, never on a clock.
routers/api/actions/runner/runner.go — Register reads the token, refuses it
when !IsActive ("please use the latest one"), and returns WITHOUT setting
IsActive = false. Registration does not spend it. One token registers as many
runners as it is shown to.
So it is long-lived and reusable — the precise opposite of the adjective, and
GitHub's really does expire in about an hour, which is why runner-install.sh is
correct to use it.
This is not a wording nit because of where the wording lives. creds.md is
spliced into the ci-box's own CONTEXT.md: it is the paragraph an agent INSIDE
the box reads about its own credentials. Telling that reader the token
self-expires is telling it a leaked one stops mattering on its own, while it is
still registering runners.
Pinned, not merely fixed, per codex's ask — the phrase arrived by copying from
the GitHub sibling, so the same copy can bring it back. Four rows: absence from
both files, and presence of the true claim, so the pin cannot be satisfied by
deleting the sentence instead of correcting it. The first draft of the CIBOX
pin was a phrase match and passed against the exact text it was written to
catch — the old wording wrapped across two comment lines. It is a plain absence
check now, and the file explains the ban without spelling the word.
Mutation-checked: all four go red against the old wording, green after.
Self-review of the whole head after the panel converged. One real defect,
reproduced verbatim before it was touched.
runner_version_of is a pipeline, and every forgejo-runner-* command runs under
set -euo pipefail. When the binary exits non-zero the pipeline fails, and
`PRESENT_VER="$(runner_version_of "$BIN")"` is an ASSIGNMENT — so install died
at that line, exit 1, printing nothing at all. The lib documented the opposite
("empty when it cannot answer"), and the refusal written for exactly this case
twenty lines later — "the download landed but cannot run" — was unreachable
code that could never have fired.
The shape is not hypothetical. `[ -x ]` yes, runnable no is what a truncated or
wrong-arch download leaves behind, and a ci-box's template preinstalls the
binary at mint — so the silent death sat on the one path this command family
exists to serve.
json_field, two files away, already carries `|| true` with this reasoning
written above it: "callers run under set -e with pipefail, where a grep that
matches nothing would otherwise kill the script with no message". The same
guard, for the same reason, at both sites: the lib reader and install's own
read of --version.
The test could not have caught it. vparse drove the lib through `bash -c` with
NO shell options, and its "bad" stub exits 0 — it proved garbage-in-empty-out
in a permissive shell, which is not where the function is used. vparse now runs
under set -euo pipefail, and a stub that exits non-zero is a third row.
Mutation-checked: that row exits 1 against the unpatched lib and 0 against the
fixed one. Install's site is grep-pinned, since reaching it for real needs root
and a downloaded binary.
748 passed (was 746), release 31, drill 43, shellcheck clean.
Net-new review findings from grok and kimi on !110. Their items 1-3 were
codex's, already fixed in 1933b07; these are the ones only they raised.
grok #4 — the two downloaders would drift. docs/templates/ci-box/install.sh
and the download block in forgejo-runner-install.sh were near-copies, and grok
named the exact consequence with the exact evidence: fail-open survived in BOTH
while a grep for "checksum mismatch" passed against both, because the string it
looked for sat right beside the branch it could not see. The whole policy —
fetch, unreadable, mismatch — is now fetch_and_verify_sha256, byte-identical in
both files and diffed by test/cli.sh. They cannot share a lib: the command
sources commands/lib/, and the template is a registry definition that runs
standalone inside a mint with rig's tree nowhere in reach, which is the same
situation valid_version faces between bin/rig and install.sh. Mutation-checked
by drifting one copy's message and confirming the diff goes red.
kimi #2 — the labeler could not see this family. scope:runner matched
commands/runner-*.sh only, so forgejo-runner-*.sh and the staged ci-box
definition scored no scope at all. Globs extended and the label's description
now says either forge rather than GitHub.
kimi #4 — remove stranded a unit whose user was gone. The missing-user check
exited 0 before the unit was ever looked at, so a deleted account with a
leftover forgejo-runner.service reported "nothing to remove" while the
absence-assert that never ran implied the opposite. The unit is now checked
independently. Auditing that fix surfaced a hazard kimi did not mention: with
the user gone RUNNER_DIR is "", and the later unguarded "$RUNNER_DIR/.rig-labels"
would have expanded to "/.rig-labels" — an rm at the filesystem root, as root.
Every RUNNER_DIR path is now gated, and a test pins that none is unguarded.
kimi #1 — the README handed out a config that breaks rig's own gates.
DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL is a single fallback and rig's workflows need two origins;
measured: code.forgejo.org serves actions/checkout (200) but not
heavy-duty/ceremony (404), which lives on the Forgejo instance. With the value
the README recommended, all eight ceremony references fail to resolve. The
section now states the conflict with the counts, says which references would
break, and explicitly does NOT pick a side — that is an infra decision, and
rig's CI running on Forgejo is not something rig forgejo-runner depends on.
Asked the maintainer for direction.
746/31/43 pass, shellcheck clean, labeler.yml parses.

Three defects from review !110, all the same family — a stated contract the
code did not keep.
--version was swallowed on the path this command exists for. The download
block skipped on mere presence, copying runner-install.sh's shape without its
justification: actions/runner SELF-UPDATES, so freezing it would only make
GitHub refuse its jobs. forgejo-runner does not self-update, so nothing else
ever moves the version — and a ci-box's template preinstalls the binary at
mint, which meant the documented deterministic-pin lever could never fire on a
ci-box. It now converges toward the pin, downward included, because a pin is
an instruction and not a floor; absent a pin an existing binary is left alone,
since chasing latest would make a re-run an unrequested upgrade. The decision
moved to runner_download_decision in the lib as a pure function: the first
attempt at a test here grepped for a log string and survived the logic being
disabled, which is exactly the weak test the review warned about. The binary
is now renamed into place rather than written over — the converge path runs
while the daemon is live, and in-place is ETXTBSY.
.rig-labels outlived the registration it described. The write had escaped the
registration branch, where runner-install.sh correctly keeps its copy, so a
plain re-run stamped this invocation's labels over a registration made with
different ones and status then reported confidently wrong labels while Forgejo
still held the originals. Scoped again, and an EXPLICIT --labels on a re-run
now warns that Forgejo owns labels from registration time rather than letting
the request evaporate silently.
The checksum gate failed open. A missing .sha256 warned and installed anyway,
contradicting both the README and the template's own comment about unverified
root downloads. The original reasoning — do not let an upstream layout change
break installs — reasons about the wrong failure: a layout change breaks the
BINARY url too, so "binary yes, checksum no" is the shape of an interfered
fetch, which is precisely what the checksum exists to catch. Both paths refuse
now, with no bypass flag; if upstream really moves its assets that is a rig PR
editing the URL, not an operator improvising past a security gate.
Tests: the checksum paths are now DRIVEN against a stub curl through the real
template install.sh — matching, missing, mismatched and empty — instead of
grepped, and all three fixes were mutation-checked by reverting each and
confirming the suite goes red.
739/31/43 pass, shellcheck clean.
forgejo#109
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
rig's CI story was GitHub-shaped end to end. This makes it work against a
self-hosted Forgejo, in three pieces.
The registry fetch becomes forge-aware. templates_resolve hardcoded three
github.com archive URLs; RIG_TEMPLATES_HOST now selects the grammar, because
the forges genuinely differ — GitHub serves refs/tags, refs/heads and bare
paths, Forgejo serves exactly one, and emitting the other two there would mean
two guaranteed 404s per fetch and a failure message listing URLs that never
could have worked. Measured against forgejo.heavyduty.builders, not inferred.
The default stays GitHub, so every existing caller is unchanged. install.sh's
snapshot reads the same variable through a byte-identical copy of the builder,
diffed by the tests: a snapshot cached from a forge converge would never fetch
from is worse than no snapshot, and the pin-in-the-name staleness guard cannot
catch a wrong-ORIGIN snapshot, only an old one.
ci-box is a tenant, not a machine role. The topology is a fleet machine
hosting boxes, one of which runs CI — a '-box' guest by rig's own family rule.
That also deletes the docker-in-docker layer the usual setup needs:
bootstrap-tenant.sh already installs Docker and adds the tenant user to the
group, and the isolation a privileged dind sidecar buys is already paid for by
a box that is network-isolated, inbound-less and disposable. rig runner
install refuses Docker for good reason — it converges a MACHINE, where the
blast radius is the machine. Here it is a guest that gets thrown away.
rig forgejo-runner is a new family beside rig runner, which is untouched.
Forgejo registers against an INSTANCE and the token carries the scope, so
there is no --repo to converge toward and nothing to compare; folding that
into one command would make every guard bimodal to share a flag name while the
contract underneath differs. assert_runner_instance asks the same
trust-boundary question about the axis Forgejo actually has. There is no
repoint and no --local, and both absences are explained where an operator
arriving from the GitHub sibling will hit them.
Forgejo's .runner holds the runner's own long-lived token, unlike GitHub's, so
it is installed 0600 and the mode is re-asserted on every converge — a mode
that drifted leaks the secret silently, since nothing fails and the runner
keeps working. status reports it and never prints the token.
Both downloads verify the published .sha256 before installing: this binary
lands as root and is executed by a systemd unit.
bootstrap --undo learns the guard for the same hazard on the other forge, and
it matters more here — Forgejo has no deregistration endpoint, so the ghost it
would strand has to be deleted by hand.
Known prerequisite, documented rather than assumed: the fetch is
unauthenticated by contract, and a Forgejo with REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW=true
answers 404 for repos it reports as public. Hosting a registry there needs
FORGEJO__service__REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW=false. The refusal names that case,
because it is indistinguishable from a wrong ref.

The service converge+assert block becomes converge_cron(), behavior-
identical, so test/cli.sh can lift it verbatim (the drop_incus precedent)
and drive it: the already-enabled/active re-run is a no-op, a disabled
stopped unit converges, and an unrecoverably masked or start-dead unit
dies nonzero naming cron and #162 — proven by execution, not only by
structural pins. The converge logs now state the probe fact instead of
claiming an unverified success (panel nit).

Agent tenants exist to run the cron-driven duty engine, and the engine's
installer runs unprivileged — it can detect a missing cron but never
apt-get it. Install cron with the shared toolbelt, then assert the
effective state, not the package: crontab on PATH AND cron.service
enabled and active, converging (unmask/enable/start) best-effort first.
A masked daemon with the binary present is exactly the silent-inert box
the issue reports, so the service asserts are the authority and either
failing dies naming cron.
staging-box stays exempt with the rest of the agent-assert block: no
agent, no duty engine. Machine roles (bootstrap.sh) are deliberately
not widened — the issue names tenants as the demonstrated gap.

json_string_array took the first "Tags" array anywhere in the document,
justified by Self-before-Peer field order. An untagged Self omits the key
entirely (Go omitempty), so the match fell through into Peer and returned
a peer's tag — false-refusing every login join and false-verifying
untagged authkey joins on any tailnet with a tagged node. Extract Self by
brace counting (Location nests an object, so slicing to the next key
would truncate) and read the array inside it.

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).

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.
