…an its commit Nothing in this tree reads an annotated tag's TAGGER. `history_facts` and `tags_matching` peel a tag with `into_fully_peeled_id()` and discard the tag object; `commit-attribution` answers for a COMMIT's author and committer, which is a different identity. That gap is what three broken releases went through. MEASURED, and this repository is its own corpus. `mise.toml`'s `[env]` block recomputed `GITHUB_TOKEN` from a chain ending in `MISE_GITHUB_TOKEN`, which the mise setup action sets to the job's DEFAULT token. `mise run release` then cut tags as the CI bot; GitHub fires no workflow events for that token, so `release-artifacts.yml` never ran; v0.0.159, v0.0.160 and v0.0.161 published with missing or zero binaries; `install.sh` correctly refused the unverified bytes, which broke consumer containers AND `fast-forward.yml`, so the defect blocked its own fix. Nothing was red at any point and recovery needed a human twice. The root cause is fixed (`f3ab40aa`); this is the assertion that would have caught it. `git.rs` reads and `attribution.rs` judges — CLOUD-742's split. `tagger_of()` resolves the ref, finds the object, and discriminates on its kind: a tag object with a tagger header is `Signed`, one without is `Unsigned`, anything else is `Lightweight` (the ref points straight at a commit). Four outcomes counting errors, none collapsible, and an error is could-not-look rather than `Unsigned`. AN ALLOW-FORM, AND A SEPARATE KEY FROM `[attribution.identity]`, because the two answer different questions and measurably hold different values: `identity` is what commits must be authored by, while a release tag is cut by whatever credential the workflow holds. Every tag from v0.0.155 to v0.0.162 carries an address `identity` does not, and judging tags against it would refuse every release — which is what the first draft did before it was run against real tags. The bot identity is never written down. An allow-form refuses it by not matching, so non-negotiable rule 1 is satisfied by not needing the literal. `tag_identity_allow` IS OPTIONAL, and that is not the same claim as "an empty list is fine". `Attribution` carries `deny_unknown_fields`, so a required field would make every table written before this key existed fail to parse — a breaking change to a table about COMMITS, imposed by a question about tags. Instead the key defaults, and `judge_tagger` refuses to DECIDE over an empty list rather than passing every tag: a consumer that does not cut releases never calls the verb, and one that calls it without declaring the key gets exit 1, not a false green. FIVE LEDGERS BIND A NEW VERB, and each caught a real omission: the read-only allowlist and the committed row set in `spec.rs`, `CENSUS_POSITIONALS` in `cli.rs` — which needed a fixture that cuts a real annotated tag, `-a` deliberately, since a lightweight one carries no identity and would exercise the wrong arm — the disposition table in `pointer_only.rs`, and the golden snapshot. Verified against this repository's own history, read-only: `batten attribution tagger v0.0.161` exits 2 (cut by the bot), `v0.0.162` exits 0 (cut by the accountable identity). Three days apart.

`release-artifacts.yml` said this in its own comment and nothing acted on it: the provisioning step passes no `install_args`, so every dist leg installs every `[tools]` entry and the leg's success depends on every one of them resolving — including tools with no part in building a binary. MEASURED. v0.0.160's aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu leg died resolving `zizmor`, a GitHub Actions linter, against Sigstore's TUF CDN before compilation started. The release shipped without that architecture. `renovate` and its 611 npm packages are on the same path. THE UNION OF WHAT A LEG USES, because the matrix mixes build tools and `install_args` is one string: `rust` for the compiler and the rustup that adds the target, `cargo-auditable` for every non-`cross` leg, `zig` and `cargo-zigbuild` for the three zigbuild legs, `syft` for `sbom-binary`, and `gh` for the two upload steps. `cross` is deliberately absent — `install-action` provides it and it is not a `[tools]` entry, so `ci-tools-check` would refuse the name. It unpins nothing: naming tools selects which pinned versions install, so `darwin-link` still links against the same `zig` the release builds with, which is the shared-pin property the workflow's own comment depends on. THE GATE IS PRESENCE, NOT MEMBERSHIP, and the narrowness is the point. Asserting WHICH tools the list must name would make the module a second authority on what a release build needs — the objection `ci-parity`'s own header raises against re-deriving the task graph. `ci-tools-check` already holds the other direction, that every name in a list resolves to a `[tools]` entry. What had no gate is the list existing at all, which is the half whose absence is silent. THE JOB IS DERIVED, NEVER NAMED, for `bats-invocation`'s measured reason: a clause naming `jobs.dist` would keep asserting about a job that no longer builds the release the moment the work moved, staying green over the one that does. An empty string is refused as firmly as an absent key, because `mise-action` reads it as "install everything" — a half-finished narrowing wearing the shape of a list. That arm is asserted at the engine tier on purpose: whether YAML renders a valueless key as an empty string or as null is the boundary's answer, not the module's. Both anti-vacuity partners ship with it — a narrowed leg passes, and a job that builds no release artifact is not this arm's business — so the gate cannot be satisfied by refusing everything. Refs: CLOUD-1786
`grade()` maps a `failure` conclusion to `Answer::Refused`, whose own doc says "the branch is no longer a direct descendant", and `lib.rs` printed exactly that. The bot has FOUR refusal grounds and that sentence names one of them. MEASURED, PR #895: the bot's log read `refusing #895: draft head, no graded checks (CLOUD-853)`. `main` had not moved and the branch was a perfect descendant. The head was a draft because `land` re-drafts on a failed lap — so the loop created the refusing condition, reported it as an external one, and narrated a remedy (rebase, re-verify, retry) that regenerates it. The reader went looking for a moved trunk. A FIFTH STATE THE ROW DOES NOT ENUMERATE, measured this session: the run failed before any refusal logic ran. `fast-forward.yml` invokes `./install.sh`, v0.0.161 carried no binaries, the step died — conclusion `failure`, no refusal posted, and `land` still said "no longer a direct descendant" and recommended a re-run. Every implied fact was false and two laps were spent on it. THE PORT MADE IT WORSE, WHICH IS WHY THE ROW'S SURFACE MOVED. CLOUD-1617 names `mise-tasks/land.sh:2249`, retired in `a2916756`. The shell at least held the bot's refusal in `$refused` and discarded its content; `fast_forward.rs` never reads it at all — `answer()` sees only the run's conclusion. A LOOKUP, NEVER A JUDGEMENT (rule 3). Each refusing arm of `fast-forward.yml` posts a comment through the same endpoint this module already posts the directive to, and each names the row it enforces. So the ground is read out of the bot's own text by that key. Nothing here decides what prose MEANS. `GROUNDS` is the four in one place a fifth must be added to. An unlisted key resolves to `Unclassified`, which narrates as could-not-look — the safe direction, and the one the predecessor did not have. `Unclassified` also covers no-comment-at-all, which is what a run that died early looks like from here. Each ground now carries the remedy that actually clears it: readying for a draft head, because rebasing cannot; a review for an unreviewed fork head; waiting for a matrix that has not graded. The exit code is unchanged — `Violation` already stopped the lap, and the defect was never the stop, it was the sentence. `startsWith`, never `contains`, on the refusal body: the directive and a human quoting a refusal live in the same comment list, which is the discipline `fast-forward.yml` applies to its own trigger after a comment DISCUSSING the trigger fired it. Four falsifiers, including the anti-vacuity term over the table itself: every declared key must resolve to its own ground, so a lookup that resolves one row and drops the rest cannot pass as caution.

…ading silently
`${{ secrets.RELEASE_PLZ_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}` appears three times in
`release-plz.yml` and three more in `auto-release-land.yml`. With the secret
absent, every one silently becomes the default job token and the run reports
green — indistinguishable from a correct release, and less capable in the one way
that matters.
THE DOWNGRADE IS THE OUTAGE THIS BRANCH EXISTS FOR, arriving by a second route.
GitHub fires NO workflow events for the default token, so a tag cut under it
reaches no `release-artifacts` run and publishes with no binaries. That is
exactly how v0.0.159, v0.0.160 and v0.0.161 shipped (CLOUD-1789) — there the
token was valid and `[env]` clobbered it; here the token is simply absent and the
`||` supplies the same broken credential with no signal at all.
THE FALLBACK IS KEPT. On a fork or a secretless checkout the default token is the
only credential there is, and refusing would remove a capability rather than
protect anything. What is refused is the fallback being taken SILENTLY on the
canonical repository, which is the only place a release is cut.
The shape is the reviewed precedent twelve lines down in the same job — "Release
tracking requires its credential", which already fails a tagged push on an empty
`LINEAR_ACCESS_KEY` — and its stated reasoning carries over exactly: the secret
is asserted to exist, nothing in this tree can confirm it, so a step is where a
wrong assertion surfaces. Placed FIRST, before anything consumes the credential;
a guard after the checkout it guards reports on work already done.
`github.event.repository.fork` rather than a repository name, which would go
stale on a rename and says nothing the fork check does not.
THIS DOES NOT CLOSE CLOUD-94. Its subject is migrating to an org-owned GitHub App
so the release credential stops being a personal PAT with an expiry — bus-factor
one on release-critical CI. That needs an App installed on the org plus APP_ID
and APP_PRIVATE_KEY secrets, which is credential work outside this session's
reach, and the row stays open with that half named. The guard is not made
redundant by it either: a missing APP_ID lands in the identical `||`.
Refs: CLOUD-94, CLOUD-1789
`BRANCH_KEYED_RECEIPTS` names three families and `unlanded-nudged` is a fourth.
`unlanded_pointer` writes `unlanded-nudged.<slug>` into the same directory with
the same `{family}.{slug}` shape this list matches; it was simply never added,
so the family accumulates forever and no retirement sweeps it.
THE LIST'S OWN COMMENT PREDICTED THIS, having been caught once already:
`filed-set-nudged` is here and was NOT in the predecessor's pair … A port that
copied the two literals would have left one family accumulating forever, which
is the drift a named list exists to stop.
WHAT THE SURVIVAL COSTS, and it is the worst of the four to leave behind. The
unlanded nudge is once-per-claim by design (CLOUD-890): `¬landed` is a level the
agent cannot clear inside the turn it is asked to, so a key the remedy can mint
would retrigger on every commit. The suppression file therefore exists precisely
on the branches that stopped with work off the landing target — and left there,
the next piece of work to reuse the branch name inherits it. The nudge that gets
silenced is rule 1 of the ladder, promoted there deliberately: the others say the
turn was untidy, this one says the work does not exist anywhere but here and a
container reclaim ends it.
Found while building CLOUD-1390's refusal, which needs this file cleared by
landing as its spend. The clearing is correct on its own terms and lands
separately from anything that reads it.
The fixture gains the family rather than a second case: the existing sweep test
already asserts every listed family goes and that a sha-keyed receipt survives,
so the regression term is the list it iterates.

…dies `39884179` read a `failure` conclusion, matched the bot's comment against a `GROUNDS` table and narrated an engine-side remedy per ground. Two things were wrong with it. The table put one consumer's tracker keys into `crates/batten` as matched DATA — the shape CLOUD-48 moved out of `hook.rs`, and what non-negotiable rule 1 refuses. It also made the engine a second, staler authority on somebody else's refusal: a fifth arm added to `fast-forward.yml` would have been misfiled into an existing bucket until a batten release caught up. `refusal` replaces it. It reads the comment the bot posted through the endpoint this module already POSTs the directive to, and returns its first line. It classifies nothing (rule 3) and carries one line rather than the body (rule 4), so a ground this build has never seen is still narrated correctly and a refusal that was never posted stays a could-not-look. Also repairs the two clippy errors `d2ed59ac` shipped red — `lint:clippy` is skipped at pre-commit as slow, so neither was seen. `unused_self` becomes an associated fn; `match_same_arms` takes an `#[allow]`, because merging the arms would put a `|` in the line `mutate`'s row parser splits on. Dropping the table also takes `run_land_fast_forward` back under the 100-line bound it had crossed at 104. Refs: CLOUD-1617
It expired 2026-09-13 and `config-lint` now reports it, which is the expiry mechanism doing exactly what the block above it says expiries are for: "when it does, someone re-reads the line rather than inheriting a decision nobody remembers making." Re-read, and it is spent. The waiver covered CLOUD-780's one-time reduction from 1850 to 1834 `#[test]` cases when four `git.rs` primitives, the pileup predicate and the `worktree reclaim` verb retired together. `test count dropped` is a ratchet against live `origin/main` with no stored baseline, so that drop has been absorbed for many releases; the tree now carries 5442 tests and the row is green with nothing waived. Extending the expiry instead is the move the field exists to prevent.
…anded CLOUD-1390 specified this, was marked Done, and shipped nothing. The detection half has existed since CLOUD-1372: `record_state` mints a completion verdict at every `Stop`, and where the turn ended with `HEAD` off its landing target `unlanded_pointer` writes `unlanded-nudged.<branch>` into the receipt store. What that bought was advisory text. This session measured an agent reasoning past it twice in a row, then stopping a third time with four rows built and nothing landed. The refusal cannot live at `Stop`. CLOUD-97 and CLOUD-219 each ruled that out for the same reason: committed-and-pushed is the only state surviving a container reclaim, so the path that ends a turn stays free. So the observation is made where the evidence is and the refusal lands where a refusal is allowed — the next mediated write, which is the displacement `claim read unread` already makes one surface over. `while_marker` is the column that says it: a condition on the BRANCH rather than on this call. `when_absent` and `when_present` both project the call the harness handed over, and a punt is a property of the turn before it. It reads presence only — a path test, never a receipt verdict, so nothing is resolved and nothing is acquired, which keeps `modifier_admits` off the filesystem for every row that does not ask (CLOUD-460). The row is `turn mint ahead`: `checks = ["verify"]`, `key = "head"`. Not "land first" — landing needs CI and a merge, which a write cannot perform, and a row whose remedy its own subject cannot run is a dead gate. `key = "head"` is `check read unread`'s stated expiry contract, so each punt costs its own verify rather than one run paying for every punt on the branch. The spend is landing, and `Rule::validate_marker` refuses at load any `while_marker` naming a family `retire_branch` does not sweep — otherwise the deny outlives the work it was about and lands on the next branch to reuse the name, which is CLOUD-774 in the refusing direction. No override route and no `bypass_env`: CLOUD-1311 measured that a field accepting a well-argued sentence gates nothing when the thing being refused is itself a well-argued sentence. `engine-hook` joins the mutation census, so the pair `offer-unread` and `every-ending-punts` is swept: one makes the predicate never hold and reddens the punting-turn case, the other makes it always hold and reddens the anti-vacuity mirror. Without the second, the first is satisfied by a row that refuses every write on every branch. Refs: CLOUD-1390
`target-prune` refused at `declared 244, live 255, tolerance 10` with 24972 MB free against an 11140 MB floor — the staleness arm, not the disk, which is the gate working as its own block describes. `verify` runs `target-prune` first, so nothing on this branch could build until the basis moved. One of the eleven is this branch's own `crates/batten/tests/it/punt_receipt.rs`; the other ten arrived on `origin/main` since the 2026-09-08 basis. The floors do not move. The block's rule is that a count refreshed without a new measurement is the same staleness wearing a newer number, so the attempt is recorded rather than skipped: an ordinary post-prune `du -sm target` was reachable this session for the first time — the tree had been reclaimed whole for a `mutant` sweep and rebuilt — and it reads 4777 MB. That is not adoptable. It measures a `test:cargo` build alone, carrying neither clippy artifacts nor the cross-compile and release roots a lap writes, so taking it would cut a safety floor by 57% on a reading of a smaller thing. Both bases move together for the 2026-09-06 entry's measured reason.

Validate tag_identity_allow regex patterns at load.
Attribution::validate compiles the deny lists and trailer_allow, but it does not compile tag_identity_allow. Since configuration validation calls Attribution::validate, a malformed non-empty pattern passes config lint. judge_tagger is the only path that compiles this field, so the error appears only when tag judging runs.
Matchers::compile returns successfully for an empty vector, so this change preserves the optional empty-policy behavior. judge_tagger still rejects an empty policy at use time.

Matchers::compile("trailer_allow", &self.trailer_allow)?;

Paginate issue comments before selecting the newest refusal.
refusal makes one crate::rest::get request to the issue-comments endpoint. With per_page=100, GitHub returns only the first page. Its default ordering is ascending by creation time, so .next_back() selects the newest matching refusal only among the oldest 100 comments. If a later page contains a newer refusal, the function can return a stale refusal.
Use the bounded page/MAX_PAGES pattern from answer for this comments endpoint:

Resolve marker presence at the adjudication boundary. marker_present performs Git and filesystem I/O during modifier evaluation. This breaks the adjudicate purity contract and can resolve markers from the process current directory instead of the repository being judged. Resolve marker presence once at the boundary using the request root, carry the result through Facts, and make modifier_admits read that fact.

- return true;
- };
- marker_path(&git_dir, marker, &branch).exists()
- }

Match the dist task at a command boundary.
builds_a_release_artifact uses contains on every parsed step’s run value. Therefore, mise run dist-check, mise run dist:preview, and shell-comment text inside a run value can mark a non-release job as a release-artifact job. Such a job can receive job list loose when it lacks install_args.
The repository task contract accepts mise run dist <target> only. mise-tasks/dist.sh:40 documents that form, and the policy tests cover the canonical form but no near misses. YAML comments outside the run value are not inspected.
Use task-aware parsing or require a valid command boundary after dist. Add tests for the two near-miss task names and shell-comment text inside a run value.

Reject whitespace-only provisioning lists.
provisions_from_a_list compares the raw install_args value with "". A quoted YAML value of " " is non-empty, but mise-action passes it as whitespace-delimited arguments to mise install, producing no tool argument. mise install then installs every configured tool, while job list loose accepts the job as narrowed.
Trim install_args before the comparison. Add a whitespace-only test beside the empty-string case.

The release process broke, and the investigation kept finding the same shape: a
row marked
Donewhose mechanism was never built. This branch builds them.What each commit does
d2ed59ac— tag identity.attribution taggerjudges who cut a tag fromthe tag OBJECT rather than from the commit it points at, with
tag_identity_allowas the declared list.#[serde(default)]plus a refusal toDECIDE over an empty list, so a pre-existing
[attribution]table still loadsand an unconfigured repository gets no verdict instead of a vacuous pass. Five
census ledgers carry the new verb.
3cd57221— CLOUD-1786. A release leg provisions what it needs rather thanevery pinned tool. Gated in
ci-paritywith ajob list looseverdict and a#MUTANTrow, so a dist leg that goes back to installing everything is refused.39884179+6d608b05— CLOUD-1617.landused to read a barefailureconclusion and assert the branch was no longer a direct descendant. Measured
wrong on #895: the refusal was a draft head,
mainhad not moved, andlanditself had re-drafted the PR on a failed lap — the loop created the refusing
condition, reported it as an external one, and lapped against something no
rebase can change.
The first commit fixed that with a table mapping refusal text to remedies. The
second removes the table: it put one consumer's tracker keys into
crates/battenas matched DATA, which is the shape CLOUD-48 moved out ofhook.rsand what non-negotiable rule 1 refuses.refusalnow reports thebot's own first sentence and classifies nothing, so a ground this build has
never seen is narrated correctly with no batten release. It also repairs two
clippy errors
d2ed59acshipped red —lint:clippyis skipped at pre-commitas slow, so neither was seen.
ce8c1ce0— CLOUD-94's buildable half. A missing release credential failsthe job loudly instead of silently falling back to the default token.
794d7573.unlanded-nudgedwas missing fromBRANCH_KEYED_RECEIPTS, soit accumulated forever and a reused branch name inherited the previous work's
nudge suppression — the one nudge saying this work exists nowhere but here is
the one that did not fire.
d34c2e7f— CLOUD-1390, the row this whole branch is evidence for. Itspecified a refusal, was marked
Done, and shipped nothing.The detection half has existed since CLOUD-1372. What it bought was advisory
text, and this session measured an agent reasoning past it twice, then stopping
a third time with four rows built and nothing landed.
The refusal cannot live at
Stop— CLOUD-97 and CLOUD-219 each ruled that out,because committed-and-pushed is the only state surviving a container reclaim and
that path must stay free. So the observation stays where the evidence is and the
refusal lands where a refusal is allowed: the next mediated write.
while_markeris the column that says it — a condition on the BRANCH, which iswhat the other two modifier polarities cannot express, since a punt is a property
of the turn BEFORE the call being judged. It reads presence only, never a receipt
verdict, so nothing is resolved and nothing acquired.
Rule::validate_markerrefuses at load any marker landing does not sweep, so the deny cannot outlive the
work it was about. No override route: a field accepting a well-argued sentence
gates nothing when the thing refused is itself a well-argued sentence.
Both
#MUTANTrows are caught by the sweep.3df7154d,bc9c2242— housekeeping the gates demanded. A waiver thatlapsed on 2026-09-13, deleted rather than extended; and both prune bases moved
244 → 255. The warm floor measurement was attempted and is NOT adopted — it
reads 4777 MB against a partial tree, and taking it would cut a safety floor by
57%. The entry says so rather than carrying a number nobody measured.
Known state
doctor::this_repository_is_healthyfails in the authoring container only: anENOSPC event corrupted line 8335 of the session transcript, so
transcript-unreadableis a fact about that container and not about this diff.Repairing it is session-transcript tampering and was correctly refused. CI runs
in a fresh container with no such file.
