Validate ran three smoke shards, golden and performance_smoke on every push,
check-docs went red on any src/** change until screenshots were re-captured,
and a parallel bundle build made every second task branch fail to rebase.
None of these gates ever failed at review time; they fail before betas.
- `heavy` output in job `changes` (scripts/classify-changes.mjs): smoke,
smoke_done, golden, performance_smoke run only for a head commit with a
`Release:` trailer, `workflow_dispatch full=true` and pull requests.
- nightly.yml dispatches Validate on dev with full=true every night.
- check-docs `--screenshots=warn|strict`: freshness of the screenshot index
warns on a plain push, errors on the candidate; everything else still errors.
- publish-prerelease.yml and release.yml refuse a candidate without the
`Release:` trailer and (prerelease) require fresh screenshots — a green
Validate without the heavy jobs cannot pass for a release.
- scripts/rebase-on-dev.mjs: rebase on origin/dev taking dev's copy of the
committed bundle, rebuild with bundle:sync, amend; any other conflict aborts.
- npm run gate:small: mandatory PROCESS §8 part in one parallel run.

Owner decision (chat, 2026-08-27): the running check's name must say what it
does, in Russian. Scripts locate workflows by file name (release-gate.mjs ->
validate.yml), so display names are free; job ids and needs are untouched.
The same content is cherry-picked to main because release workflows execute
from the default branch and process.yml must stay identical in main and dev.

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.
