A green code review whose merge conflicted used to leave the label where it was.
That is a dead end: the author waits for the label to change, so it polled thirty
times and reported the limit as exhausted — on a task the reviewer had already
passed. The verdict existed and nobody could act on it.
The merge step no longer fails the job. It reports whether it merged, and a green
review that did not merge sends the task back to S6-in-progress, because the work
did return to the author — a rebase rather than a code fix, and the comment says
so and says the verdict still stands.
The invariant is now stronger and worth stating plainly: after a review run the
label always changes. A pipeline whose state can stall silently is worse than one
that reports the wrong state loudly.

The step that comments on the issue when a review run dies carried a literal
backslash instead of a line continuation, so gh received four arguments and
--repo ran as a command of its own. The handler for failures would itself have
failed, silently, and only when something had already gone wrong.
bash -n does not catch this: the syntax is valid, the meaning is not. Checking
run blocks now also means looking for a doubled backslash at end of line.

The guard counted every verdict comment on the issue, so a spec-review verdict
consumed a cycle from the code-review budget. On #89 the first code review came
out as r2/4. With two spec cycles the second code review would have hit review-4
after a single fix — the limit would have fired on a task nobody had reviewed
twice.
The stage is now resolved first and only its own verdicts are counted, recognised
by the review document named in the comment. If the document is missing the
verdict is not counted: undercounting grants an extra cycle, overcounting would
stop the work early, and of the two mistakes the recoverable one wins.

PROCESS.md 10.2 item 10 asks for this to happen because a beta shipped, not
because someone remembered. The manual cleanup was skipped twice and both times
it broke the invariant that a closed issue carries no status label — the one
thing `verify` leans on. A manual step that falls due right after a successful
release is the worst kind: the work already looks finished, which is precisely
why it gets forgotten.
The job comments the tag, removes the label, then closes. That order is
deliberate: dying between the two steps leaves an open issue without a status,
which is visible and fixable in the flow, where the reverse order would recreate
the breakage this exists to prevent. It ends by asserting that no closed issue
still carries S8-merged — aimed at the defect that actually recurs rather than at
the invariant in general.
The stock token is used on purpose. Events caused by GITHUB_TOKEN do not start
workflows, so stripping the label cannot wake the review pipeline; a PAT here
would turn bookkeeping into a cascade.

PROCESS.md 10.2 describes scripts/process-gate.mjs; the script never existed.
Commits go straight to dev without PRs and GitHub blocks nothing on its side, so
until now the only thing standing between the process and rule #1 was the good
faith of whoever was committing. Hooks catch a violation on the author's machine
but --no-verify walks past them; this job is the catch-up pass that cannot be
skipped locally.
Checks 1-7 offline, 8 through gh, plus the escalation of check 3: a class A
commit with neither a spec file nor the `small` label is a failure, not a
warning. Check 8 is fail closed — an unreachable or closed issue is a refusal,
never a silent pass.
Two things surfaced while wiring it up and are recorded in the script header.
S8-merged had to join the allowed statuses: the pipeline merges into dev before
it moves the label, so Validate reads the issue already advanced and a strict set
would redden every accepted task. And the status question now applies only to
class A/B commits — asking it of a review document would fail every time, since
that document lands while the issue sits in S4-spec-review or S7-code-review.

Keeps dev identical to main so the broken revision does not come back at the
next promotion. The workflow only fires from the default branch, but a stale
copy here would overwrite the working one.

Pushing the hook through the GitHub contents API dropped its mode to 100644.
assertHookMode caught it on the next commit, which is the gate working as
intended — a non-executable commit-msg would simply never run.
Also brings dev in line with the turn-limit fix already on main.
Issue: #116
User-Visible: no
The first live run failed with "Could not fetch an OIDC token": the action
needs id-token: write to authenticate the GitHub App.
The reviewer also checked out dev, where the material under review does not
exist yet — specs and code are committed to issue/<NN>-slug. The job now
switches to that branch when it is pushed, and warns loudly when it is not.

Adds .github/workflows/process.yml. A status label change is the trigger:
S4-spec-review runs the spec review, S7-code-review runs the code review,
and the verdict decides the next label. Only a green verdict advances;
yellow and red return the task to its author. Cycle limits (4, or 2 on the
light track) are counted from the verdicts already posted on the issue.
Labels are moved with HP_PROCESS_TOKEN, not GITHUB_TOKEN, so the change
emits an event and the chain continues.

HACS will install from the named asset instead of the auto zipball, so
GitHub's public download counter becomes a per-version install metric.
The workflow also has a manual dispatch to backfill an existing release.
T1: demo/serve.mjs exports check/checkAll/finish — all 48 smokes now
assert named facts and exit non-zero on a mismatch or an uncaught
in-card exception (verified by breaking the kiosk guard on purpose).
Informational values were frozen from a v1.43.1 run and cross-read
against the source; timings assert budgets, not exact numbers.
T2: new CI job 'smoke' gated on 'frontend', builds a FRESH bundle
before running (the committed demo/srv/assets copy is a snapshot) and
uploads per-file logs on failure.
T3: [auto] now means 'a named failing check exists' and each line names
it (43 lines); 72 aspirational markers honestly downgraded to [manual].
Fixed the 'ZERO edit buttons' contradiction (wrong since v1.30.1) and
the opening-click line (true again since v1.43.1).
Three smokes carried pre-v1.39.0/v1.25 expectations and were testing
old behaviour: tap defaults for lights, card-wide tap action, label drag
requiring plan mode.
DEVELOPMENT.md documents the harness contract.
