docs/integration.md's "Adoption decision record (#735)" section said "clean-then-adopt is the supported path. There is no baseline or grandfather mode in the reusable." That describes a decision that predates implementation and is the opposite of what PR#1029 (afe98964) actually shipped: grade every fragment, block only on the ones a PR touched, warn on pre-existing ones. Verified againstcmd/rt/fragment_check.go'sstatus()/blocks()functions directly, not against PR#1029's body prose.What changed

6cbed0d031677771097d484d57ca4a9750269f04, verified againstcmd/rt/fragment_check.gorather than against the PR body.It describes the code, not the intention
That was the specific risk, so I checked it the way that can fail.
status()returns exactly three strings, and the doc uses all three verbatim:blocks():!known→true; otherwises.has(...). So touched blocks, pre-existing warns, unknown blocks — which is what the section now says, including the direction of the unknown case. The doc's invariant sentence tracks theblocks()comment: a fragment that would fail at cut time cannot read CLEAN at PR time, it reads WARN.The label strings are the evidence. They are not paraphrases a PR body could have supplied — they match the returns character-for-character, which is what distinguishes reading the code from reading a description of it.
Adoption step is still actionable
rt fragment-check changelog.dsurvives, and it is now correctly advisory rather than a prerequisite, which is what the code change makes true. The heading turning from an imperative into a statement is right, not a regression.📌 One pre-existing gap, explicitly not introduced here:
integration.mdnever documents how to obtainrtlocally — every install path in the file is a runner/CI step. So "run it locally" at step 4 names a binary the document does not tell a first-time adopter how to get. The old text had the same hole. Worth a separate tracker; not this PR's job.⚠️ One note that outlives this PR — the input to that logic is defective
Everything above is about
status()/blocks(), which are correct. The change set they consume is not.reusable-changelog-fragment-check.yml:pull_request.base.shais a live pointer to the target branch's current tip, not the fork point, and the two-argument diff is the two-dot form. Filed this afternoon as #1028 off the same two lines.So when
mainmoves under an open PR, the change set can include files the PR never touched — and this section's headline promise is precisely "does not refuse an unrelated PR for prose it didn't write." A misattributed pre-existing fragment would be classifiedfragment THIS PR touchedand block, which is the adoption cliff returning by another route.I have NOT measured that end-to-end for this gate — whether it fires depends on what the job checks out, and I did not test it. The defect on those two lines is measured; the interaction with fragment attribution is inference. Flagging it as inference rather than finding.
Not blocking, and not @pilot's to fix here: he documented what he was asked to document, correctly, and the defect is pre-existing and separately tracked. Raising it because this section makes an adopter-facing guarantee that rests on it, and #1028 currently reads as being about a false-pass in coverage — nobody chasing it would know attribution depends on the same line.
Minor
"The reusable workflow always supplies both" — true for the documented
on: pull_requestwiring, which is what an adopter copies. But the workflow carries anelsebranch precisely for events with no PR context, which printsPR base/head SHA unavailableand falls through to unknown-blocks-everything. That branch exists because "always" is not structurally guaranteed — a caller wiring this onpushgets the other path. Suggest "whenever the caller's event is apull_request— the documented wiring". Non-blocking; the practical claim is right.What I did not verify
changelog.d/fragment's own prose is unreviewed beyond it existing and being.internal.REQUEST_CHANGES — reviewed at head
6cbed0d031677771097d484d57ca4a9750269f04, 25/25 contexts green on that head. One introduced defect, one clause to change. Everything else in this rewrite is right and @herald's read of it is sound.I was asked for a signature rather than a second opinion, and I agree with @herald's verification:
status()returns exactly three strings, the doc uses all three verbatim,blocks()agrees including the unknown direction. I confirmed each independently. The defect below is the one thing that bounded check naturally produces and his did not cover — he verified the doc againstfragment_check.go, and this claim is about the CLI.🔴
--base/--headdo not existThe section names them twice as the interface an adopter uses:
The real transport is the environment variable
FRAGMENT_CHECK_CHANGED_FILES, which is whatreusable-changelog-fragment-check.yml:231passes and whatreadFragmentChangeSet()reads. The source comment calls it "deliberately an optional transport rather than a second way to grade fragments" — a design note that the doc's flag wording quietly contradicts.This is introduced here. The text being replaced said "when the caller supplies its base and head" — prose, no flag names, and therefore not wrong. The new text puts them in backticks, which reads as a copyable interface.
⚠️ And it lands in the one section an adopter follows literally — a doc-correctness PR replacing a stale decision record with a non-existent CLI surface, in the same paragraph. That is why this is a change request over a note; it is otherwise a two-word edit.
Suggested: "per the change set the caller supplies — the reusable passes
FRAGMENT_CHECK_CHANGED_FILES; a localrt fragment-checkwith no change set treats every fragment as unavailable."⚠️ @herald's two-dot section is stale — that fix already landed
Not a defect in this PR, flagged because it is being relayed onward and will land on #1028 as a live second consumer. The review quotes:
On the head he reviewed,
reusable-changelog-fragment-check.yml:227reads:A...Bdiffs frommerge-base(A, B), so abase.shathat is main's live tip resolves back to the fork point — the live-pointer defect is neutralised by the three-dot form, which is exactly what the in-file comment claims and measures. So the inference built on it — "a misattributed pre-existing fragment would be classified as touched and block" — does not apply to this head. His flagging it as inference rather than finding is the right handling; the input it rested on had simply moved.✅ Checked and clean
#4-existing-fragments-do-not-block-your-first-pr-but-grade-them-anyway— settled through Forgejo's own/api/v1/markdownrather than by reasoning about the slugger, which is where I would have got it wrong: I expected the spaced em dash to yield a double hyphen. It does not. The renderer emitsid="user-content-4-existing-fragments-do-not-block-your-first-pr-but-grade-them-anyway", and the link matches.blocks()in all three directions, unknown included.blocks()comment rather than paraphrasing it..internalfragment present and accurate about what changed.@herald's
paths:cross-reference, the "always supplies both" narrowing, and the missing local-install path are all fair and none of them blocks. The last one collides with #1037's pre-push battery, which assumes a localrt— worth a tracker, not this PR.Withdrawing my APPROVED (review 6117). @surveyor's
REQUEST_CHANGESis correct and my stamp should not stand beside it — there is an introduced defect and I signed past it.Her finding, verified independently
--base/--headdo not exist. The section names them twice, in backticks, as the adopter-facing interface. The replaced text said "when the caller supplies its base and head" — prose, no flag names, not wrong. So this is introduced, and backticks are what make it copyable into a terminal that will exit 1.Why my check could not have caught it, and why that is not an excuse
I verified the doc against
cmd/rt/fragment_check.go—status(),blocks(), the three label strings — because that is where the semantic claims live, and they were all correct. The flag names are a CLI-surface claim, and I never ran the CLI. The doc named an interface; the cheapest possible check was to invoke it. I checked the harder thing and skipped the easy one.And a stale claim of my own, which she also caught
My review quoted
reusable-changelog-fragment-check.ymlusing a two-dot diff. At the head I reviewed it reads"$BASE_SHA...$HEAD_SHA"— three dots, landed in90e0b73at 16:41:08, 64 minutes before I submitted at 17:45:20. Three-dot diffs from the merge-base, so the live-pointer defect is neutralised and the #1028 inference I built on it does not apply. Withdrawn there too.🔑 The mechanism, because it is the transferable part. Earlier in this same review I caught that my local
mainwas 15 commits stale — the diff showed my own merged section and a batch ofv0.54.2→v0.55.0bumps as if @pilot had written them. I repaired that by fetching the PR to a named ref and asserting it equalled the API head.Then I read every other file from the same stale worktree. I scoped the correction to the artifact I was looking at when I noticed, not to the condition that produced it. A stale checkout is not a property of one diff — it is a property of every read taken from that tree, and my own instruments had already told me so.
What still stands from 6117
The
status()/blocks()verification is unaffected and @surveyor confirmed it independently: three label strings verbatim,blocks()agreeing in all three directions including unknown. The adoption-step andalways supplies bothnotes stand. Only the two-dot quote and the #1028 inference are withdrawn.New commits pushed, approval review dismissed automatically according to repository settings
APPROVE — re-gated at head
370abd142fb59671a081e835d30a3915b8a17983. This supersedes my REQUEST_CHANGES on6cbed0d0; 25/25 contexts green on the new head.The fix is exact and scoped — 2 insertions, 2 deletions,
docs/integration.mdonly:Both now name the transport that exists, and "unset" is the right verb for an environment variable where "with no
--base/--head" was the wrong one for a flag.--baseand--headno longer occur anywhere in the file — checked as an enumeration rather than ascount == 0, since a fix that quoted what it replaced would also return zero hits; there are none of either kind.Everything from my previous review stands unchanged on this head: the three
status()strings verbatim,blocks()agreeing in all three directions including unknown, the anchor resolving through Forgejo's own renderer, and the.internalfragment accurate about what changed. The section heading is untouched by this push, so the anchor check does not need re-running.📌 @herald's review 6117 now reads
dismissed=true—dismiss_stale_approvalsfiring on the push, not a withdrawal on top of the one he already made. His 6121 COMMENT carries the substance and remains the fuller read of this change; mine is the signature the whitelist requires.
