WalkthroughChangelog generation now derives dates from release versions instead of the current date. Package scripts and CI invoke a verifier that scans generator usage and tests flagged and unflagged behavior. PM records document the issue, checks, and affected paths. Runtime transaction journals are ignored. ChangesChangelog date consistency
Runtime journal ignore rule
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR makes untagged changelog dates deterministic and adds CI/release enforcement. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness for a bounded verifier parsing gap that can allow a false-positive audit, an unpinned package fallback when local binaries are unavailable, and PM records that still reference the old verifier.

scripts/verify-release-changelog-date.sh was a file this repository carried and nothing executed. It appeared in no npm script, in release:check, or in any CI step. Thirteen of the fifteen repositories that carry it were in that state. That matters because of what the script is for. `npm run changelog:check` only exercises the package.json invocation; the release workflow calls the generator directly. If a later edit dropped --date-from-version from the workflow, the generate step and its paired --check would both derive a clock-based date, they would agree with each other, and the release would pass -- reintroducing exactly the defect this branch removes, with no gate reporting anything. It is now a named script (verify:release-changelog-date), the last step of release:check, and its own CI step, so it fails the pull request rather than sitting in the tree looking like coverage.

…s version
CI enumerates its steps by hand rather than invoking release:check, so the two
drift apart silently: a script can sit in the mandatory local gate and never run
on any pull request. A sweep of the twenty package repositories found seven in
that state, and the omissions were not cosmetic:
pm-brief, pm-csv, pm-web accept:packed -- the acceptance gate that packs the
real tarball and installs it under
npm, bun and the minimum host
pm-rl, pm-vcs audit:identities -- the commit-identity gate
pm-csv lint, duplicates -- two mandatory quality gates
pm-changelog verify:release-changelog-date
pm-beads, pm-csv build
Every missing step is now a CI step, inserted in release:check order so the two
read as the same gate.
Two of those gates turned out to be broken the moment they were run, both
because they encode one npm version's behaviour while the CI matrix spans two
(Node 22.18 ships npm 10, Node 26 ships npm 12):
- accept-packed.ts parsed `npm pack --json` as an array. Through npm 10 it is;
from npm 11 it is an object keyed by package name. Both shapes are accepted
now.
- pm-brief's acceptance gate asserted the installed extension writes nothing to
stderr. From npm 11 npm's own runner writes "npm notice run ..." there, which
says nothing about the package. The assertion now filters npm's notices and
still fails on anything the package itself emits; the receipt keeps the raw
byte count so the evidence is not lost.
Had these steps been wired up without the fixes, they would have passed on
test (22) and failed on test (26) for reasons unrelated to the packages.
Reported in part by CodeRabbit on unbraind/pm-graph#70 ("make the verification
script a required release gate"); the sweep for the same shape elsewhere is what
found the rest.

That matters because of what the script is for. `npm run changelog:check` only exercises the package.json invocation; the release workflow calls the generator directly. If a later edit dropped --date-from-version from the workflow, the generate step and its paired --check would both derive a clock-based date, they would agree with each other, and the release would pass -- reintroducing exactly the defect this branch removes, with no gate reporting anything. It is now a named script (verify:release-changelog-date), the last step of release:check, and its own CI step, so it fails the pull request rather than sitting in the tree looking like coverage.

…s version
CI enumerates its steps by hand rather than invoking release:check, so the two
drift apart silently: a script can sit in the mandatory local gate and never run
on any pull request. A sweep of the twenty package repositories found seven in
that state, and the omissions were not cosmetic:
pm-brief, pm-csv, pm-web accept:packed -- the acceptance gate that packs the
real tarball and installs it under
npm, bun and the minimum host
pm-rl, pm-vcs audit:identities -- the commit-identity gate
pm-csv lint, duplicates -- two mandatory quality gates
pm-changelog verify:release-changelog-date
pm-beads, pm-csv build
Every missing step is now a CI step, inserted in release:check order so the two
read as the same gate.
Two of those gates turned out to be broken the moment they were run, both
because they encode one npm version's behaviour while the CI matrix spans two
(Node 22.18 ships npm 10, Node 26 ships npm 12):
- accept-packed.ts parsed `npm pack --json` as an array. Through npm 10 it is;
from npm 11 it is an object keyed by package name. Both shapes are accepted
now.
- pm-brief's acceptance gate asserted the installed extension writes nothing to
stderr. From npm 11 npm's own runner writes "npm notice run ..." there, which
says nothing about the package. The assertion now filters npm's notices and
still fails on anything the package itself emits; the receipt keeps the raw
byte count so the evidence is not lost.
Had these steps been wired up without the fixes, they would have passed on
test (22) and failed on test (26) for reasons unrelated to the packages.
Reported in part by CodeRabbit on unbraind/pm-graph#70 ("make the verification
script a required release gate"); the sweep for the same shape elsewhere is what
found the rest.
Round four of review, all reproduced before and after. 1. The credential guard split the workflow on newlines BEFORE joining backslash continuations. `npm config set --location=project \` followed by ` _auth <value>` is one command to the shell and two lines to that split, and the half holding the credential key carried no `npm ... set` for the filter to match -- so the guard reported clean on a command it never inspected, and the credential lands in the project .npmrc, which the publish scrub does not reach. Continuations are joined first now; the split command fails the test and the real workflow still passes. (Greptile P1) 2. The changelog-date verifier compared flags by substring, so an unquoted trailing comment was part of the command as far as the check was concerned: `... --release-version-from-package # --date-from-version` satisfied the very check it was complaining about. Unquoted trailing comments are stripped, with quoting respected -- these invocations pass `--item-url-base` values that contain a `#`, and those are arguments, not comments. (CodeRabbit) 3. `pm web status` reported a server answering 503 as DOWN. Reachability and readiness are different questions: a server whose database is unavailable is running and answering, and calling that DOWN sends an operator to look for a process that is already there. `probeHealthz` now reports reachability and health separately, and the status is up, degraded, or down -- degraded prints "REACHABLE but UNHEALTHY ... see healthz for the failing dependency" and still carries the version. A caller that does not pass `healthy` keeps the previous meaning. (Greptile P1) Deliberately NOT changed, with the reasoning in the thread: the bootstrap self-approval path Greptile raised. The strict closure -- an identity introduced by the branch counts only if the trusted history already used it -- was implemented, executed, and reverted, because it fails the ordinary adoption case: the maintainer adopting the gate is usually the author of the adopting commits and their address is legitimately absent from a history released by a bot. That is the same shape as the deadlock fixed earlier on this branch, and shipping it would have made adoption impossible in every repository that has not adopted yet.
…ight boundary
Round five, all three from CodeRabbit, all executed before and after.
1. The verifier split commands on separators only when they were surrounded by
whitespace, so `flagged&&unflagged` stayed one segment and the first call's
--date-from-version covered for the second. `&&`, `||` and `;` now split with
or without whitespace. A bare `|` still requires whitespace on both sides:
an unspaced pipe is far more likely to be inside an argument -- an alternation
in a tag pattern, say -- and splitting there would separate a version input
from its own flag and report a defect that is not present. Both directions are
in the suite: six separator spellings each catch the unflagged half, and a
quoted alternation still passes.
2. `releaseJobSource()` bounded the release job with `[A-Za-z]`, so a later job
whose id begins with an underscore did not stop the slice. An `id-token:
write` declared on `_audit` could then be read as the release job's own, and
a release job without OIDC permission would pass the check that exists to
require it. The boundary now accepts a leading underscore. Not observable in
this repository, whose release job declares its own permissions -- which is
exactly why it was worth fixing rather than leaving to be discovered by the
workflow that does not.
3. The interpolation guard matched `run: >-2` but not `run: >2-`. YAML accepts
both indicator orders; the unmatched one was treated as a one-line script and
its body never scanned. A `${{ … }}` inside a `run: >2-` body now fails the
test, as it already did for `>`, `|-` and `>-`.

…f the clock (#76) * Derive the changelog no-tag release date from the version, not the clock The changelog:check gate stamps an untagged package version with the current UTC date, so its verdict silently flips at every midnight with no commit in between: generation and check only agree while the wall clock still matches the date baked into the committed CHANGELOG.md. With the fleet sitting on untagged versions this made the gate pass by coincidence on release day and fail the day after. pm-changelog 2026.8.17 ships a date-from-version option that derives the no-tag fallback date from a YYYY.M.D calendar version (2026.8.20 -> 2026-08-20) while continuing to defer to an authoritative release tag date once the release is actually tagged. Insert it into every script whose name starts with changelog and reads the release version from package.json (changelog, changelog:full, changelog:check), keeping the generation and check commands byte-identical apart from --check so the gate remains satisfiable by its own generator. Bump the pm-changelog dev dependency to ^2026.8.17, the first release carrying the flag. Proof at an untagged version 2026.8.20 with otherwise identical arguments (--include-empty added to both runs so the pending release section renders): without the flag the generated heading is "## 2026.8.20 - 2026-08-24" (today's clock); with the flag it is "## 2026.8.20 - 2026-08-20" (the version's own date). Verified: npm run changelog:full && npm run changelog:check green; npm test 80/80 passing; coverage gate met; pinned pm health --strict-exit exit 0. Documented as pm item pm-slack-tfrk. * fix(changelog): flag the release workflow's generator invocations too The first pass covered only the package.json scripts named changelog*, leaving release.yml's three invocations unflagged. During a release the workflow generates the changelog and CI then checks it, so with the flag on only one side an untagged version whose calendar date is not today gets its heading from the clock on one side and from the version on the other -- and the release fails on that divergence instead of on the stale date the flag exists to remove. Enumerated by grepping every tracked file for --release-version-from-package: seven sites here, 4/4 in package.json and 3/3 in release.yml. changelog:check up to date, pinned pm health --strict-exit 0. * test(changelog): prove the release-workflow path, which changelog:check never reaches CodeRabbit was right that the linked test only covered the package.json invocation. release.yml calls pm-changelog directly, and nothing exercised those calls. The static half enumerates every tracked file holding a generator invocation and asserts each file's flagged count is not below its site count. Verified non-vacuous by removing the flag from one of two release.yml sites: it reports 1 of 2 and exits non-zero. The behavioural half runs the generator twice on the same probe version 2026.1.2 -- chosen so its calendar date cannot coincide with today -- and asserts '2026.1.2 - 2026-01-02' with the flag against '2026.1.2 - 2026-08-24' without it. The test therefore states the defect, not just the fix. * test(changelog): prove the release-workflow path, which changelog:check never reaches CodeRabbit was right that the linked test only covered the package.json invocation. release.yml calls pm-changelog directly, and nothing exercised those calls. The static half enumerates every tracked file holding a generator invocation and asserts each file's flagged count is not below its site count. Verified non-vacuous by removing the flag from one of two release.yml sites: it reports 1 of 2 and exits non-zero. The behavioural half runs the generator twice on the same probe version 2026.1.2 -- chosen so its calendar date cannot coincide with today -- and asserts '2026.1.2 - 2026-01-02' with the flag against '2026.1.2 - 2026-08-24' without it. The test therefore states the defect, not just the fix. * fix(ci): check each generator invocation on its own, and fail when the control does Two ways to slip an unflagged generator invocation past the changelog-date verifier, each of which defeats the obvious fix for the other: - Counting matching LINES misses a single line holding several invocations where only one carries --date-from-version. - Counting OCCURRENCES file-wide lets an unflagged invocation hide behind a mention of the flag on a line that invokes nothing at all -- a comment, a help string, a sibling script. The totals still balance. Both are closed by balancing per line: a line must carry at least as many --date-from-version as it carries --release-version-from-package. Executed rather than argued, on a copy of this repository: release:notes silently unflagged + an unrelated script mentioning the flag old check -> exit 0 (the gate passes while the defect it exists to catch is present) new check -> exit 1, naming the invocation one line holding two invocations, one of them unflagged new check -> exit 1 Candidate files are now enumerated instead of pre-filtered with grep -l. A workflow that delegates to `npm run changelog:*` mentions the flags only in comments explaining why; selecting such a file and finding no invocation in it is normal. Finding no invocation in ANY tracked file is not, and is now its own failure. Second defect, same script: the behavioural section ran the unflagged control invocation under `|| true` and downgraded its failure to a note, so the script could exit 0 with the control never having produced a heading -- leaving the comparison that gives the test its meaning unmade. The control's exit status and a non-empty heading are both required now. Verified with a generator stub that fails only without the flag: the old script exits 0 with a note, the new one exits 1. Both reported by CodeRabbit. * chore(pm): drop a comment that a retried add had duplicated The item carried the same comment twice, byte-identical, same author, a couple of minutes apart. In the history stream the shape is diagnostic: one event patches /metadata/comments to create the array, a second patches /metadata/comments/1 to append the same value again. That is what a retry looks like, not a decision. Removed through `pm comment --delete`, which appends a compensating event rather than rewriting the append-only hash chain -- the history keeps both the duplicate and its removal. Found by CodeRabbit on one item. A sweep of every tracked pm workspace in the fleet found the same duplication in 31 items across 21 repositories, all with the same signature, so it was cleaned everywhere rather than only where it was reported. The underlying cause is that `pm comment --add` has no idempotency guard, filed upstream as unbraind/pm-cli#1132. * chore(git): ignore SDK workspace-transaction journals `.agents/pm/transactions/` holds crash-recovery journals written by --atomic SDK transactions. They are runtime state: once the transaction lands the journal has no value, and `pm health` fails closed on a tracked one (tracked_runtime_cache_files), so committing one turns the health gate red. Three repositories had already committed such a journal on 2026-08-24 and had to remove it again. Fourteen of twenty-one repositories were still missing the ignore rule that prevents it, including all three that had been bitten. This adds it, deliberately outside any `pm-cli:` fence, since the CLI rewrites those blocks on upgrade. * ci: run the changelog-date verifier instead of only shipping it scripts/verify-release-changelog-date.sh was a file this repository carried and nothing executed. It appeared in no npm script, in release:check, or in any CI step. Thirteen of the fifteen repositories that carry it were in that state. That matters because of what the script is for. `npm run changelog:check` only exercises the package.json invocation; the release workflow calls the generator directly. If a later edit dropped --date-from-version from the workflow, the generate step and its paired --check would both derive a clock-based date, they would agree with each other, and the release would pass -- reintroducing exactly the defect this branch removes, with no gate reporting anything. It is now a named script (verify:release-changelog-date), the last step of release:check, and its own CI step, so it fails the pull request rather than sitting in the tree looking like coverage. Reported by CodeRabbit on unbraind/pm-graph#70. * docs(pm): record the gate wiring and the review findings applied to this item * fix(ci): find the release-time generator invocations the shell verifier could not see Greptile's P1 on unbraind/pm-context#76 was right, and it was not a corner case: the scan recognised only --release-version-from-package, so it skipped every invocation that names the pending tag explicitly with --version "$RELEASE_TAG" -- which is precisely the release-time path the verifier exists to protect. In pm-context those three invocations were unflagged, and the gate reported green. pm-changelog accepts three spellings for the same input: --version, --release-version (a declared alias of it), and --release-version-from-package. Only the third was being looked for. Two more shapes were invisible to a line-oriented scan, and both are in daily use in these workflows: - backslash line continuations, which split one logical command into fragments, none of which carries both the version input and the date flag; - a shared bash options array (`common=( ... )` passed as "${common[@]}"), declared once exactly so the invocations cannot drift -- with the effect that the invocation line contains almost none of the flags. The verifier is now TypeScript rather than shell, which is what the rest of this repository is written in and what made the above tractable: it joins continuations, indexes array declarations, expands "${name[@]}" references, and then judges each resulting logical command. A command that carries any version input must carry --date-from-version. Executed rather than argued: run against pm-context before the fix, the new verifier names all three previously invisible invocations and exits non-zero; the old shell script exits zero on the same tree. This also subsumes what pm-changelog's hand-written "section 1b" was doing for `node dist/cli.js` continuation blocks, and removes the per-line counting rules that earlier rounds added, because a logical-command model does not need them. * test: execute the verifier's rules against fixtures, and close three guard bypasses Four review findings from this round, each reproduced before being fixed. 1. The changelog-date verifier judged a whole line as one invocation, so a flagged generator call covered for an unflagged one beside it on the same line -- `changelog && changelog-without-the-flag` passed. Logical commands are now split on shell separators after array expansion and judged individually. (CodeRabbit) 2. The verifier had no test. Its rules were only ever executed against this repository, which satisfies them, so nothing proved a rule still fails on the defect it exists to catch. The analysis is now separated from the I/O and twenty-one cases execute it against fixtures: every version-input spelling, the shared bash options array, backslash continuations, several invocations on one line, a mention of the flag on a non-invoking line, a mention inside a comment, an empty scan, a control that fails, a control that is not clock-derived, and the entry-point guard both ways. 3. `npm config set --registry <url> --location=project _auth <value>` slipped past the credential guard: the pattern enumerated what may sit between `set` and the key, and a flag whose value is a separate token is not flag-shaped. That enumeration has now been wrong three times -- no flags, then `--global`, then `--location=global`. The axis was never the prefix, so the guard no longer matches on one: it splits the workflow into commands, and for any npm command that writes configuration it reduces every token to the config key it would set and refuses the credential names. Four bypass shapes, including a project-location write the publish step's scrub cannot reach, now fail the test; the real workflow still passes. (Greptile P1) 4. The interpolation guard recognised only `run: |`, so a folded `run: >` was treated as a one-line script and the body it introduced was never scanned. Every block-scalar spelling is recognised now, chomping indicators included; `>`, `|-` and `>-` each fail the test with an interpolated body. (CodeRabbit) Also: the packed-acceptance gate no longer filters npm's runner off stderr, it silences the runner at the source with --silent. Greptile was right that any filter wide enough to drop `npm notice ...` is wide enough to drop a diagnostic the installed package printed, which is the output the gate exists to catch. All three acceptance scenarios now record stderr_bytes 0 with no filter at all. * fix(ci): stop three guards failing open, and stop one gate measuring the clock Round three of review on this wave. Each reproduced before and after. 1. `trustedControl`'s catch swallowed EVERY failure, not only "the control does not exist on the base ref", and then read the working tree. An unresolvable base ref, an unreadable object, or an I/O error therefore downgraded the audit to reading the branch under audit -- the fail-open the anchoring exists to prevent, reached by breaking git rather than by editing a control (CWE-807). Only absence falls through now; anything else is rethrown. Verified by making the base-ref blob unreadable: the suite fails hard instead of quietly passing on working-tree values. 2. The interpolation scan sliced from `jobs:\n release:` to end of file, so it also covered `alert-on-release-failure`. An interpolation in that job would have failed an assertion about the release job, naming the wrong one. It now uses the same job-boundary logic as the permissions helper, extracted as `releaseJobSource()`. Executed both ways: an interpolation in the later job no longer fails the release-job assertion; one in the release job still does. 3. The changelog-date verifier asserted the UNFLAGGED heading equals today's date. That pinned the generator's current default -- a compatible dependency update that changed it would fail the gate with no defect present -- and it sampled the date once for two subprocess runs, so a run crossing UTC midnight would fail for no defect either. The contract is that the flag CHANGES the heading, and that is what is asserted now; whether the control happens to be clock-derived is reported rather than required. All three reported by CodeRabbit (1 and 3) and by Greptile (2) on this wave. * test: follow the verifier's own contract change, and drop a duplicate import Two defects my previous commit introduced and CI caught, fixed rather than papered over. The behavioural half now asserts that --date-from-version CHANGES the heading rather than that the unflagged run equals today's date. One existing case still expected the old message and failed on both matrix legs. It now covers the contract as stated: a control identical to the flagged run fails because the flag then discriminates nothing, and a control derived some other way passes, because "not today's date" is not a defect -- that was the whole point of dropping the equality check. The test also imported `node:path` twice, which pm-vcs's source policy rejects. The two imports are merged. * fix: close a continuation bypass, stop a comment satisfying a flag check Round four of review, all reproduced before and after. 1. The credential guard split the workflow on newlines BEFORE joining backslash continuations. `npm config set --location=project \` followed by ` _auth <value>` is one command to the shell and two lines to that split, and the half holding the credential key carried no `npm ... set` for the filter to match -- so the guard reported clean on a command it never inspected, and the credential lands in the project .npmrc, which the publish scrub does not reach. Continuations are joined first now; the split command fails the test and the real workflow still passes. (Greptile P1) 2. The changelog-date verifier compared flags by substring, so an unquoted trailing comment was part of the command as far as the check was concerned: `... --release-version-from-package # --date-from-version` satisfied the very check it was complaining about. Unquoted trailing comments are stripped, with quoting respected -- these invocations pass `--item-url-base` values that contain a `#`, and those are arguments, not comments. (CodeRabbit) 3. `pm web status` reported a server answering 503 as DOWN. Reachability and readiness are different questions: a server whose database is unavailable is running and answering, and calling that DOWN sends an operator to look for a process that is already there. `probeHealthz` now reports reachability and health separately, and the status is up, degraded, or down -- degraded prints "REACHABLE but UNHEALTHY ... see healthz for the failing dependency" and still carries the version. A caller that does not pass `healthy` keeps the previous meaning. (Greptile P1) Deliberately NOT changed, with the reasoning in the thread: the bootstrap self-approval path Greptile raised. The strict closure -- an identity introduced by the branch counts only if the trusted history already used it -- was implemented, executed, and reverted, because it fails the ordinary adoption case: the maintainer adopting the gate is usually the author of the adopting commits and their address is legitimately absent from a history released by a bot. That is the same shape as the deadlock fixed earlier on this branch, and shipping it would have made adoption impossible in every repository that has not adopted yet. * fix: split on unspaced shell separators, and stop two guards at the right boundary Round five, all three from CodeRabbit, all executed before and after. 1. The verifier split commands on separators only when they were surrounded by whitespace, so `flagged&&unflagged` stayed one segment and the first call's --date-from-version covered for the second. `&&`, `||` and `;` now split with or without whitespace. A bare `|` still requires whitespace on both sides: an unspaced pipe is far more likely to be inside an argument -- an alternation in a tag pattern, say -- and splitting there would separate a version input from its own flag and report a defect that is not present. Both directions are in the suite: six separator spellings each catch the unflagged half, and a quoted alternation still passes. 2. `releaseJobSource()` bounded the release job with `[A-Za-z]`, so a later job whose id begins with an underscore did not stop the slice. An `id-token: write` declared on `_audit` could then be read as the release job's own, and a release job without OIDC permission would pass the check that exists to require it. The boundary now accepts a leading underscore. Not observable in this repository, whose release job declares its own permissions -- which is exactly why it was worth fixing rather than leaving to be discovered by the workflow that does not. 3.

A `${{ … }}` inside a `run: >2-` body now fails the test, as it already did for `>`, `|-` and `>-`. * Preserve changelog date verification after rebase Carry version-derived changelog flags into the relocated release workflow, preserve both mandatory release verifiers, regenerate the full changelog, and record the completed rebase validation. --------- Co-authored-by: SteveBot <1153461+unbraind@users.noreply.github.com>

…s version
CI enumerates its steps by hand rather than invoking release:check, so the two
drift apart silently: a script can sit in the mandatory local gate and never run
on any pull request. A sweep of the twenty package repositories found seven in
that state, and the omissions were not cosmetic:
pm-brief, pm-csv, pm-web accept:packed -- the acceptance gate that packs the
real tarball and installs it under
npm, bun and the minimum host
pm-rl, pm-vcs audit:identities -- the commit-identity gate
pm-csv lint, duplicates -- two mandatory quality gates
pm-changelog verify:release-changelog-date
pm-beads, pm-csv build
Every missing step is now a CI step, inserted in release:check order so the two
read as the same gate.
Two of those gates turned out to be broken the moment they were run, both
because they encode one npm version's behaviour while the CI matrix spans two
(Node 22.18 ships npm 10, Node 26 ships npm 12):
- accept-packed.ts parsed `npm pack --json` as an array. Through npm 10 it is;
from npm 11 it is an object keyed by package name. Both shapes are accepted
now.
- pm-brief's acceptance gate asserted the installed extension writes nothing to
stderr. From npm 11 npm's own runner writes "npm notice run ..." there, which
says nothing about the package. The assertion now filters npm's notices and
still fails on anything the package itself emits; the receipt keeps the raw
byte count so the evidence is not lost.
Had these steps been wired up without the fixes, they would have passed on
test (22) and failed on test (26) for reasons unrelated to the packages.
Reported in part by CodeRabbit on unbraind/pm-graph#70 ("make the verification
script a required release gate"); the sweep for the same shape elsewhere is what
found the rest.

scripts/verify-release-changelog-date.sh was a file this repository carried and nothing executed. It appeared in no npm script, in release:check, or in any CI step. Thirteen of the fifteen repositories that carry it were in that state. That matters because of what the script is for. `npm run changelog:check` only exercises the package.json invocation; the release workflow calls the generator directly. If a later edit dropped --date-from-version from the workflow, the generate step and its paired --check would both derive a clock-based date, they would agree with each other, and the release would pass -- reintroducing exactly the defect this branch removes, with no gate reporting anything. It is now a named script (verify:release-changelog-date), the last step of release:check, and its own CI step, so it fails the pull request rather than sitting in the tree looking like coverage. Reported by CodeRabbit on unbraind/pm-graph#70.

…s version
CI enumerates its steps by hand rather than invoking release:check, so the two
drift apart silently: a script can sit in the mandatory local gate and never run
on any pull request. A sweep of the twenty package repositories found seven in
that state, and the omissions were not cosmetic:
pm-brief, pm-csv, pm-web accept:packed -- the acceptance gate that packs the
real tarball and installs it under
npm, bun and the minimum host
pm-rl, pm-vcs audit:identities -- the commit-identity gate
pm-csv lint, duplicates -- two mandatory quality gates
pm-changelog verify:release-changelog-date
pm-beads, pm-csv build
Every missing step is now a CI step, inserted in release:check order so the two
read as the same gate.
Two of those gates turned out to be broken the moment they were run, both
because they encode one npm version's behaviour while the CI matrix spans two
(Node 22.18 ships npm 10, Node 26 ships npm 12):
- accept-packed.ts parsed `npm pack --json` as an array. Through npm 10 it is;
from npm 11 it is an object keyed by package name. Both shapes are accepted
now.
- pm-brief's acceptance gate asserted the installed extension writes nothing to
stderr. From npm 11 npm's own runner writes "npm notice run ..." there, which
says nothing about the package. The assertion now filters npm's notices and
still fails on anything the package itself emits; the receipt keeps the raw
byte count so the evidence is not lost.
Had these steps been wired up without the fixes, they would have passed on
test (22) and failed on test (26) for reasons unrelated to the packages.
Reported in part by CodeRabbit on unbraind/pm-graph#70 ("make the verification
script a required release gate"); the sweep for the same shape elsewhere is what
found the rest.

…f the clock (#79) * fix(changelog): derive the no-tag release date from the version, not the clock pm-changelog stamps the pending window of an untagged version with the current UTC date, so changelog:check regenerates a different heading date every day and fails on any day after the changelog was written -- a gate whose verdict flips at midnight with no input change. release.yml tags only after npm publish succeeds, and publish has failed fleet-wide since 2026-08-21, so this package carries an untagged version. It passes today only because the version and today's date are the same calendar day. Verified on pm-ops, where those two differ and the comparison therefore discriminates: an untagged 2026.8.22 generates '2026.8.22 - 2026-08-24' unflagged and '2026.8.22 - 2026-08-22' with --date-from-version. Applied to EVERY invocation, not only the scripts named changelog*: package.json 4/4 and release.yml 3/3. release.yml invokes the generator directly, and if only one side carries the flag the divergence returns as a release failure. * test(changelog): prove the release-workflow path, which changelog:check never reaches CodeRabbit was right that the linked test only covered the package.json invocation. release.yml calls pm-changelog directly, and nothing exercised those calls. The static half enumerates every tracked file holding a generator invocation and asserts each file's flagged count is not below its site count. Verified non-vacuous by removing the flag from one of two release.yml sites: it reports 1 of 2 and exits non-zero. The behavioural half runs the generator twice on the same probe version 2026.1.2 -- chosen so its calendar date cannot coincide with today -- and asserts '2026.1.2 - 2026-01-02' with the flag against '2026.1.2 - 2026-08-24' without it. The test therefore states the defect, not just the fix. * test(changelog): prove the release-workflow path, which changelog:check never reaches CodeRabbit was right that the linked test only covered the package.json invocation. release.yml calls pm-changelog directly, and nothing exercised those calls. The static half enumerates every tracked file holding a generator invocation and asserts each file's flagged count is not below its site count.

The test therefore states the defect, not just the fix. * fix(ci): check each generator invocation on its own, and fail when the control does Two ways to slip an unflagged generator invocation past the changelog-date verifier, each of which defeats the obvious fix for the other: - Counting matching LINES misses a single line holding several invocations where only one carries --date-from-version. - Counting OCCURRENCES file-wide lets an unflagged invocation hide behind a mention of the flag on a line that invokes nothing at all -- a comment, a help string, a sibling script. The totals still balance. Both are closed by balancing per line: a line must carry at least as many --date-from-version as it carries --release-version-from-package. Executed rather than argued, on a copy of this repository: release:notes silently unflagged + an unrelated script mentioning the flag old check -> exit 0 (the gate passes while the defect it exists to catch is present) new check -> exit 1, naming the invocation one line holding two invocations, one of them unflagged new check -> exit 1 Candidate files are now enumerated instead of pre-filtered with grep -l. A workflow that delegates to `npm run changelog:*` mentions the flags only in comments explaining why; selecting such a file and finding no invocation in it is normal. Finding no invocation in ANY tracked file is not, and is now its own failure. Second defect, same script: the behavioural section ran the unflagged control invocation under `|| true` and downgraded its failure to a note, so the script could exit 0 with the control never having produced a heading -- leaving the comparison that gives the test its meaning unmade. The control's exit status and a non-empty heading are both required now. Verified with a generator stub that fails only without the flag: the old script exits 0 with a note, the new one exits 1. Both reported by CodeRabbit. * chore(pm): drop a comment that a retried add had duplicated The item carried the same comment twice, byte-identical, same author, a couple of minutes apart. In the history stream the shape is diagnostic: one event patches /metadata/comments to create the array, a second patches /metadata/comments/1 to append the same value again. That is what a retry looks like, not a decision. Removed through `pm comment --delete`, which appends a compensating event rather than rewriting the append-only hash chain -- the history keeps both the duplicate and its removal. Found by CodeRabbit on one item. A sweep of every tracked pm workspace in the fleet found the same duplication in 31 items across 21 repositories, all with the same signature, so it was cleaned everywhere rather than only where it was reported. The underlying cause is that `pm comment --add` has no idempotency guard, filed upstream as unbraind/pm-cli#1132. * chore(git): ignore SDK workspace-transaction journals `.agents/pm/transactions/` holds crash-recovery journals written by --atomic SDK transactions. They are runtime state: once the transaction lands the journal has no value, and `pm health` fails closed on a tracked one (tracked_runtime_cache_files), so committing one turns the health gate red. Three repositories had already committed such a journal on 2026-08-24 and had to remove it again. Fourteen of twenty-one repositories were still missing the ignore rule that prevents it, including all three that had been bitten. This adds it, deliberately outside any `pm-cli:` fence, since the CLI rewrites those blocks on upgrade. * ci: run the changelog-date verifier instead of only shipping it scripts/verify-release-changelog-date.sh was a file this repository carried and nothing executed. It appeared in no npm script, in release:check, or in any CI step. Thirteen of the fifteen repositories that carry it were in that state.

Reported by CodeRabbit on unbraind/pm-graph#70. * docs(pm): record the gate wiring and the review findings applied to this item * ci: run every release:check step, and stop two gates breaking on npm's version CI enumerates its steps by hand rather than invoking release:check, so the two drift apart silently: a script can sit in the mandatory local gate and never run on any pull request. A sweep of the twenty package repositories found seven in that state, and the omissions were not cosmetic: pm-brief, pm-csv, pm-web accept:packed -- the acceptance gate that packs the real tarball and installs it under npm, bun and the minimum host pm-rl, pm-vcs audit:identities -- the commit-identity gate pm-csv lint, duplicates -- two mandatory quality gates pm-changelog verify:release-changelog-date pm-beads, pm-csv build Every missing step is now a CI step, inserted in release:check order so the two read as the same gate.

Reported in part by CodeRabbit on unbraind/pm-graph#70 ("make the verification script a required release gate"); the sweep for the same shape elsewhere is what found the rest. * fix(ci): find the release-time generator invocations the shell verifier could not see Greptile's P1 on unbraind/pm-context#76 was right, and it was not a corner case: the scan recognised only --release-version-from-package, so it skipped every invocation that names the pending tag explicitly with --version "$RELEASE_TAG" -- which is precisely the release-time path the verifier exists to protect. In pm-context those three invocations were unflagged, and the gate reported green. pm-changelog accepts three spellings for the same input: --version, --release-version (a declared alias of it), and --release-version-from-package. Only the third was being looked for. Two more shapes were invisible to a line-oriented scan, and both are in daily use in these workflows: - backslash line continuations, which split one logical command into fragments, none of which carries both the version input and the date flag; - a shared bash options array (`common=( ... )` passed as "${common[@]}"), declared once exactly so the invocations cannot drift -- with the effect that the invocation line contains almost none of the flags. The verifier is now TypeScript rather than shell, which is what the rest of this repository is written in and what made the above tractable: it joins continuations, indexes array declarations, expands "${name[@]}" references, and then judges each resulting logical command. A command that carries any version input must carry --date-from-version. Executed rather than argued: run against pm-context before the fix, the new verifier names all three previously invisible invocations and exits non-zero; the old shell script exits zero on the same tree. This also subsumes what pm-changelog's hand-written "section 1b" was doing for `node dist/cli.js` continuation blocks, and removes the per-line counting rules that earlier rounds added, because a logical-command model does not need them. * docs(changelog): regenerate * test: execute the verifier's rules against fixtures, and close three guard bypasses Four review findings from this round, each reproduced before being fixed. 1. The changelog-date verifier judged a whole line as one invocation, so a flagged generator call covered for an unflagged one beside it on the same line -- `changelog && changelog-without-the-flag` passed. Logical commands are now split on shell separators after array expansion and judged individually. (CodeRabbit) 2. The verifier had no test. Its rules were only ever executed against this repository, which satisfies them, so nothing proved a rule still fails on the defect it exists to catch. The analysis is now separated from the I/O and twenty-one cases execute it against fixtures: every version-input spelling, the shared bash options array, backslash continuations, several invocations on one line, a mention of the flag on a non-invoking line, a mention inside a comment, an empty scan, a control that fails, a control that is not clock-derived, and the entry-point guard both ways. 3. `npm config set --registry <url> --location=project _auth <value>` slipped past the credential guard: the pattern enumerated what may sit between `set` and the key, and a flag whose value is a separate token is not flag-shaped. That enumeration has now been wrong three times -- no flags, then `--global`, then `--location=global`. The axis was never the prefix, so the guard no longer matches on one: it splits the workflow into commands, and for any npm command that writes configuration it reduces every token to the config key it would set and refuses the credential names. Four bypass shapes, including a project-location write the publish step's scrub cannot reach, now fail the test; the real workflow still passes. (Greptile P1) 4. The interpolation guard recognised only `run: |`, so a folded `run: >` was treated as a one-line script and the body it introduced was never scanned. Every block-scalar spelling is recognised now, chomping indicators included; `>`, `|-` and `>-` each fail the test with an interpolated body. (CodeRabbit) Also: the packed-acceptance gate no longer filters npm's runner off stderr, it silences the runner at the source with --silent. Greptile was right that any filter wide enough to drop `npm notice ...` is wide enough to drop a diagnostic the installed package printed, which is the output the gate exists to catch. All three acceptance scenarios now record stderr_bytes 0 with no filter at all. * docs: record the rebased changelog date guard * test: execute the changelog guard with a release suffix * test: remove an unused verifier import * docs: regenerate changelog after rebase --------- Co-authored-by: SteveBot <1153461+unbraind@users.noreply.github.com>

The analysis is now separated from the I/O and twenty-one cases execute it against fixtures: every version-input spelling, the shared bash options array, backslash continuations, several invocations on one line, a mention of the flag on a non-invoking line, a mention inside a comment, an empty scan, a control that fails, a control that is not clock-derived, and the entry-point guard both ways. 3. `npm config set --registry <url> --location=project _auth <value>` slipped past the credential guard: the pattern enumerated what may sit between `set` and the key, and a flag whose value is a separate token is not flag-shaped. That enumeration has now been wrong three times -- no flags, then `--global`, then `--location=global`. The axis was never the prefix, so the guard no longer matches on one: it splits the workflow into commands, and for any npm command that writes configuration it reduces every token to the config key it would set and refuses the credential names. Four bypass shapes, including a project-location write the publish step's scrub cannot reach, now fail the test; the real workflow still passes. (Greptile P1) 4. The interpolation guard recognised only `run: |`, so a folded `run: >` was treated as a one-line script and the body it introduced was never scanned. Every block-scalar spelling is recognised now, chomping indicators included; `>`, `|-` and `>-` each fail the test with an interpolated body. (CodeRabbit) Also: the packed-acceptance gate no longer filters npm's runner off stderr, it silences the runner at the source with --silent. Greptile was right that any filter wide enough to drop `npm notice ...` is wide enough to drop a diagnostic the installed package printed, which is the output the gate exists to catch. All three acceptance scenarios now record stderr_bytes 0 with no filter at all. * fix(ci): stop three guards failing open, and stop one gate measuring the clock Round three of review on this wave. Each reproduced before and after. 1. `trustedControl`'s catch swallowed EVERY failure, not only "the control does not exist on the base ref", and then read the working tree. An unresolvable base ref, an unreadable object, or an I/O error therefore downgraded the audit to reading the branch under audit -- the fail-open the anchoring exists to prevent, reached by breaking git rather than by editing a control (CWE-807). Only absence falls through now; anything else is rethrown. Verified by making the base-ref blob unreadable: the suite fails hard instead of quietly passing on working-tree values. 2. The interpolation scan sliced from `jobs:\n release:` to end of file, so it also covered `alert-on-release-failure`. An interpolation in that job would have failed an assertion about the release job, naming the wrong one. It now uses the same job-boundary logic as the permissions helper, extracted as `releaseJobSource()`. Executed both ways: an interpolation in the later job no longer fails the release-job assertion; one in the release job still does. 3. The changelog-date verifier asserted the UNFLAGGED heading equals today's date. That pinned the generator's current default -- a compatible dependency update that changed it would fail the gate with no defect present -- and it sampled the date once for two subprocess runs, so a run crossing UTC midnight would fail for no defect either. The contract is that the flag CHANGES the heading, and that is what is asserted now; whether the control happens to be clock-derived is reported rather than required. All three reported by CodeRabbit (1 and 3) and by Greptile (2) on this wave. * test: follow the verifier's own contract change, and drop a duplicate import Two defects my previous commit introduced and CI caught, fixed rather than papered over. The behavioural half now asserts that --date-from-version CHANGES the heading rather than that the unflagged run equals today's date. One existing case still expected the old message and failed on both matrix legs. It now covers the contract as stated: a control identical to the flagged run fails because the flag then discriminates nothing, and a control derived some other way passes, because "not today's date" is not a defect -- that was the whole point of dropping the equality check. The test also imported `node:path` twice, which pm-vcs's source policy rejects. The two imports are merged. * fix: close a continuation bypass, stop a comment satisfying a flag check Round four of review, all reproduced before and after. 1. The credential guard split the workflow on newlines BEFORE joining backslash continuations. `npm config set --location=project \` followed by ` _auth <value>` is one command to the shell and two lines to that split, and the half holding the credential key carried no `npm ... set` for the filter to match -- so the guard reported clean on a command it never inspected, and the credential lands in the project .npmrc, which the publish scrub does not reach. Continuations are joined first now; the split command fails the test and the real workflow still passes. (Greptile P1) 2. The changelog-date verifier compared flags by substring, so an unquoted trailing comment was part of the command as far as the check was concerned: `... --release-version-from-package # --date-from-version` satisfied the very check it was complaining about. Unquoted trailing comments are stripped, with quoting respected -- these invocations pass `--item-url-base` values that contain a `#`, and those are arguments, not comments. (CodeRabbit) 3. `pm web status` reported a server answering 503 as DOWN. Reachability and readiness are different questions: a server whose database is unavailable is running and answering, and calling that DOWN sends an operator to look for a process that is already there. `probeHealthz` now reports reachability and health separately, and the status is up, degraded, or down -- degraded prints "REACHABLE but UNHEALTHY ... see healthz for the failing dependency" and still carries the version. A caller that does not pass `healthy` keeps the previous meaning. (Greptile P1) Deliberately NOT changed, with the reasoning in the thread: the bootstrap self-approval path Greptile raised. The strict closure -- an identity introduced by the branch counts only if the trusted history already used it -- was implemented, executed, and reverted, because it fails the ordinary adoption case: the maintainer adopting the gate is usually the author of the adopting commits and their address is legitimately absent from a history released by a bot. That is the same shape as the deadlock fixed earlier on this branch, and shipping it would have made adoption impossible in every repository that has not adopted yet. * fix: split on unspaced shell separators, and stop two guards at the right boundary Round five, all three from CodeRabbit, all executed before and after. 1. The verifier split commands on separators only when they were surrounded by whitespace, so `flagged&&unflagged` stayed one segment and the first call's --date-from-version covered for the second. `&&`, `||` and `;` now split with or without whitespace. A bare `|` still requires whitespace on both sides: an unspaced pipe is far more likely to be inside an argument -- an alternation in a tag pattern, say -- and splitting there would separate a version input from its own flag and report a defect that is not present. Both directions are in the suite: six separator spellings each catch the unflagged half, and a quoted alternation still passes. 2. `releaseJobSource()` bounded the release job with `[A-Za-z]`, so a later job whose id begins with an underscore did not stop the slice. An `id-token: write` declared on `_audit` could then be read as the release job's own, and a release job without OIDC permission would pass the check that exists to require it. The boundary now accepts a leading underscore. Not observable in this repository, whose release job declares its own permissions -- which is exactly why it was worth fixing rather than leaving to be discovered by the workflow that does not. 3. The interpolation guard matched `run: >-2` but not `run: >2-`. YAML accepts both indicator orders; the unmatched one was treated as a one-line script and its body never scanned. A `${{ … }}` inside a `run: >2-` body now fails the test, as it already did for `>`, `|-` and `>-`. * test: verify the rebased changelog date contract * test: remove an unused verifier import * fix: preserve version-derived changelog generation after rebase --------- Co-authored-by: SteveBot <1153461+unbraind@users.noreply.github.com>

…f the clock (#80) * fix(changelog): derive the no-tag release date from the version, not the clock pm-changelog stamps the pending window of an untagged version with the current UTC date, so changelog:check regenerates a different heading date every day and fails on any day after the changelog was written -- a gate whose verdict flips at midnight with no input change. release.yml tags only after npm publish succeeds, and publish has failed fleet-wide since 2026-08-21, so this package carries an untagged version and is on that path. It passes today only because the package version and today's date are the same calendar day. Verified on pm-ops, where the version date and today's date differ and the comparison therefore discriminates: an untagged 2026.8.22 generates '2026.8.22 - 2026-08-24' unflagged and '2026.8.22 - 2026-08-22' with --date-from-version. The flag already shipped in pm-changelog 2026.8.17; no fleet package passed it. Applied to EVERY invocation of the generator, not only the scripts named changelog*: release.yml invokes it directly, and generation and check must not disagree or the divergence returns as a release failure. Site audit: package.json sites 2 flagged 2; .github/workflows/release.yml sites 3 flagged 3; * test(changelog): prove the release-workflow path, which changelog:check never reaches CodeRabbit was right that the linked test only covered the package.json invocation. release.yml calls pm-changelog directly, and nothing exercised those calls. The static half enumerates every tracked file holding a generator invocation and asserts each file's flagged count is not below its site count. Verified non-vacuous by removing the flag from one of two release.yml sites: it reports 1 of 2 and exits non-zero. The behavioural half runs the generator twice on the same probe version 2026.1.2 -- chosen so its calendar date cannot coincide with today -- and asserts '2026.1.2 - 2026-01-02' with the flag against '2026.1.2 - 2026-08-24' without it. The test therefore states the defect, not just the fix. * test(changelog): prove the release-workflow path, which changelog:check never reaches CodeRabbit was right that the linked test only covered the package.json invocation. release.yml calls pm-changelog directly, and nothing exercised those calls.

The test therefore states the defect, not just the fix. * chore: drop unrelated pre-existing work from this branch Three files from a previous session's alert-on-release-failure line of work were swept into this branch by a blanket 'git add .agents/pm': pm-csv-76gz (created 2026-08-22 by ox-alpha, titled 'Alert on daily release failure and require merge drivers in CI'), its history, and .agents/pm/verify-release-yaml.py, which no workflow or script references. None of it belongs to the changelog date change, and bundling it here would have merged an unreviewed change under a title that does not describe it. The files stay on disk untracked, so that work is preserved for its own branch rather than lost. * fix(ci): check each generator invocation on its own, and fail when the control does Two ways to slip an unflagged generator invocation past the changelog-date verifier, each of which defeats the obvious fix for the other: - Counting matching LINES misses a single line holding several invocations where only one carries --date-from-version. - Counting OCCURRENCES file-wide lets an unflagged invocation hide behind a mention of the flag on a line that invokes nothing at all -- a comment, a help string, a sibling script. The totals still balance. Both are closed by balancing per line: a line must carry at least as many --date-from-version as it carries --release-version-from-package. Executed rather than argued, on a copy of this repository: release:notes silently unflagged + an unrelated script mentioning the flag old check -> exit 0 (the gate passes while the defect it exists to catch is present) new check -> exit 1, naming the invocation one line holding two invocations, one of them unflagged new check -> exit 1 Candidate files are now enumerated instead of pre-filtered with grep -l. A workflow that delegates to `npm run changelog:*` mentions the flags only in comments explaining why; selecting such a file and finding no invocation in it is normal. Finding no invocation in ANY tracked file is not, and is now its own failure. Second defect, same script: the behavioural section ran the unflagged control invocation under `|| true` and downgraded its failure to a note, so the script could exit 0 with the control never having produced a heading -- leaving the comparison that gives the test its meaning unmade. The control's exit status and a non-empty heading are both required now. Verified with a generator stub that fails only without the flag: the old script exits 0 with a note, the new one exits 1. Both reported by CodeRabbit. * ci: run the changelog-date verifier instead of only shipping it scripts/verify-release-changelog-date.sh was a file this repository carried and nothing executed. It appeared in no npm script, in release:check, or in any CI step. Thirteen of the fifteen repositories that carry it were in that state. That matters because of what the script is for. `npm run changelog:check` only exercises the package.json invocation; the release workflow calls the generator directly. If a later edit dropped --date-from-version from the workflow, the generate step and its paired --check would both derive a clock-based date, they would agree with each other, and the release would pass -- reintroducing exactly the defect this branch removes, with no gate reporting anything. It is now a named script (verify:release-changelog-date), the last step of release:check, and its own CI step, so it fails the pull request rather than sitting in the tree looking like coverage. Reported by CodeRabbit on unbraind/pm-graph#70. * docs(pm): record the gate wiring and the review findings applied to this item * ci: run every release:check step, and stop two gates breaking on npm's version CI enumerates its steps by hand rather than invoking release:check, so the two drift apart silently: a script can sit in the mandatory local gate and never run on any pull request. A sweep of the twenty package repositories found seven in that state, and the omissions were not cosmetic: pm-brief, pm-csv, pm-web accept:packed -- the acceptance gate that packs the real tarball and installs it under npm, bun and the minimum host pm-rl, pm-vcs audit:identities -- the commit-identity gate pm-csv lint, duplicates -- two mandatory quality gates pm-changelog verify:release-changelog-date pm-beads, pm-csv build Every missing step is now a CI step, inserted in release:check order so the two read as the same gate. Two of those gates turned out to be broken the moment they were run, both because they encode one npm version's behaviour while the CI matrix spans two (Node 22.18 ships npm 10, Node 26 ships npm 12): - accept-packed.ts parsed `npm pack --json` as an array. Through npm 10 it is; from npm 11 it is an object keyed by package name. Both shapes are accepted now. - pm-brief's acceptance gate asserted the installed extension writes nothing to stderr. From npm 11 npm's own runner writes "npm notice run ..." there, which says nothing about the package. The assertion now filters npm's notices and still fails on anything the package itself emits; the receipt keeps the raw byte count so the evidence is not lost. Had these steps been wired up without the fixes, they would have passed on test (22) and failed on test (26) for reasons unrelated to the packages. Reported in part by CodeRabbit on unbraind/pm-graph#70 ("make the verification script a required release gate"); the sweep for the same shape elsewhere is what found the rest. * fix(ci): find the release-time generator invocations the shell verifier could not see Greptile's P1 on unbraind/pm-context#76 was right, and it was not a corner case: the scan recognised only --release-version-from-package, so it skipped every invocation that names the pending tag explicitly with --version "$RELEASE_TAG" -- which is precisely the release-time path the verifier exists to protect. In pm-context those three invocations were unflagged, and the gate reported green. pm-changelog accepts three spellings for the same input: --version, --release-version (a declared alias of it), and --release-version-from-package. Only the third was being looked for. Two more shapes were invisible to a line-oriented scan, and both are in daily use in these workflows: - backslash line continuations, which split one logical command into fragments, none of which carries both the version input and the date flag; - a shared bash options array (`common=( ... )` passed as "${common[@]}"), declared once exactly so the invocations cannot drift -- with the effect that the invocation line contains almost none of the flags. The verifier is now TypeScript rather than shell, which is what the rest of this repository is written in and what made the above tractable: it joins continuations, indexes array declarations, expands "${name[@]}" references, and then judges each resulting logical command. A command that carries any version input must carry --date-from-version. Executed rather than argued: run against pm-context before the fix, the new verifier names all three previously invisible invocations and exits non-zero; the old shell script exits zero on the same tree. This also subsumes what pm-changelog's hand-written "section 1b" was doing for `node dist/cli.js` continuation blocks, and removes the per-line counting rules that earlier rounds added, because a logical-command model does not need them. * test: execute the verifier's rules against fixtures, and close three guard bypasses Four review findings from this round, each reproduced before being fixed. 1. The changelog-date verifier judged a whole line as one invocation, so a flagged generator call covered for an unflagged one beside it on the same line -- `changelog && changelog-without-the-flag` passed. Logical commands are now split on shell separators after array expansion and judged individually. (CodeRabbit) 2. The verifier had no test. Its rules were only ever executed against this repository, which satisfies them, so nothing proved a rule still fails on the defect it exists to catch. The analysis is now separated from the I/O and twenty-one cases execute it against fixtures: every version-input spelling, the shared bash options array, backslash continuations, several invocations on one line, a mention of the flag on a non-invoking line, a mention inside a comment, an empty scan, a control that fails, a control that is not clock-derived, and the entry-point guard both ways. 3. `npm config set --registry <url> --location=project _auth <value>` slipped past the credential guard: the pattern enumerated what may sit between `set` and the key, and a flag whose value is a separate token is not flag-shaped. That enumeration has now been wrong three times -- no flags, then `--global`, then `--location=global`. The axis was never the prefix, so the guard no longer matches on one: it splits the workflow into commands, and for any npm command that writes configuration it reduces every token to the config key it would set and refuses the credential names. Four bypass shapes, including a project-location write the publish step's scrub cannot reach, now fail the test; the real workflow still passes. (Greptile P1) 4. The interpolation guard recognised only `run: |`, so a folded `run: >` was treated as a one-line script and the body it introduced was never scanned. Every block-scalar spelling is recognised now, chomping indicators included; `>`, `|-` and `>-` each fail the test with an interpolated body. (CodeRabbit) Also: the packed-acceptance gate no longer filters npm's runner off stderr, it silences the runner at the source with --silent. Greptile was right that any filter wide enough to drop `npm notice ...` is wide enough to drop a diagnostic the installed package printed, which is the output the gate exists to catch. All three acceptance scenarios now record stderr_bytes 0 with no filter at all. * fix(ci): stop three guards failing open, and stop one gate measuring the clock Round three of review on this wave. Each reproduced before and after. 1. `trustedControl`'s catch swallowed EVERY failure, not only "the control does not exist on the base ref", and then read the working tree. An unresolvable base ref, an unreadable object, or an I/O error therefore downgraded the audit to reading the branch under audit -- the fail-open the anchoring exists to prevent, reached by breaking git rather than by editing a control (CWE-807). Only absence falls through now; anything else is rethrown. Verified by making the base-ref blob unreadable: the suite fails hard instead of quietly passing on working-tree values. 2. The interpolation scan sliced from `jobs:\n release:` to end of file, so it also covered `alert-on-release-failure`. An interpolation in that job would have failed an assertion about the release job, naming the wrong one. It now uses the same job-boundary logic as the permissions helper, extracted as `releaseJobSource()`. Executed both ways: an interpolation in the later job no longer fails the release-job assertion; one in the release job still does. 3. The changelog-date verifier asserted the UNFLAGGED heading equals today's date. That pinned the generator's current default -- a compatible dependency update that changed it would fail the gate with no defect present -- and it sampled the date once for two subprocess runs, so a run crossing UTC midnight would fail for no defect either. The contract is that the flag CHANGES the heading, and that is what is asserted now; whether the control happens to be clock-derived is reported rather than required. All three reported by CodeRabbit (1 and 3) and by Greptile (2) on this wave. * test: follow the verifier's own contract change, and drop a duplicate import Two defects my previous commit introduced and CI caught, fixed rather than papered over. The behavioural half now asserts that --date-from-version CHANGES the heading rather than that the unflagged run equals today's date. One existing case still expected the old message and failed on both matrix legs.

Reachability and readiness are different questions: a server whose database is unavailable is running and answering, and calling that DOWN sends an operator to look for a process that is already there. `probeHealthz` now reports reachability and health separately, and the status is up, degraded, or down -- degraded prints "REACHABLE but UNHEALTHY ... see healthz for the failing dependency" and still carries the version. A caller that does not pass `healthy` keeps the previous meaning. (Greptile P1) Deliberately NOT changed, with the reasoning in the thread: the bootstrap self-approval path Greptile raised.

The defect
pm-changelogsynthesises a pending release window for a version that has no matching git tag, and stamps it with the current UTC date. Sochangelog:checkregenerates a different heading date every day and fails on any day after the changelog was written — a gate whose verdict flips at midnight with no input change.release.ymlpushes its tag only afternpm publishsucceeds. Publish has failed fleet-wide since 2026-08-21, so this package carries an untagged version and sits on that clock-dependent path.It passes today only by coincidence — the package version and today's date are the same calendar day. That stops being true tomorrow.
Measured, not reasoned about
Verified on pm-ops, chosen because its version date and today's date differ, which is what makes the comparison discriminate:
2026.8.22--date-from-version## 2026.8.22 - 2026-08-24← today--date-from-version## 2026.8.22 - 2026-08-22← the versionWhat changed
The flag already shipped in
pm-changelog@2026.8.17. No fleet package was passing it.Applied to every invocation of the generator, not only the scripts named
changelog*—release.ymlinvokespm-changelogdirectly, and if only one side carries the flag then generation and check disagree and the divergence returns as a release failure. Site audit:package.json.github/workflows/release.ymlThe flag affects only the no-tag path; where a tag exists the date still comes from the tag's commit, so tagged history is untouched.
pm item
pm-graph-4glq— root cause, the site audit, and the verification evidence.Not done here
Backfilling the missing git tags would also make this green, and is deliberately not the fix: the workflow tags only after a successful publish, so a tag asserts a release npm never received, and it would stop exercising the broken path rather than repairing it.
