Rebased continuation of #203 — Forgejo blocks both update_pr_branch API + direct push to hidden refs/pull/203/head, so this PR carries the rebased commit (780328c onto current main 6433294 post-#195-merge).

Substantive content byte-identical to Engineer's original at #203 (commit author preserved). Surveyor previously approved at #203's 3e4e275 (review 3149); requesting fresh re-stamp on 780328c for the head-shift.

Closes #159. Original PR #203 will be closed as superseded by this one.


Add scripts/lib/events.sh: event_emit KIND key=value... emits one JSON
object per event to stderr. A single jq -n call escapes the kind, keys,
and values; the function always returns 0 so observability can never abort
a set -e cut step.

Instrument the cut path:

  • release-decide.sh: cut_decided at each cut/update/noop decision exit
  • manifest-precheck.sh: manifest_skip / manifest_proceed
  • draft-release.sh: cut_complete (release create + idempotent skip)
  • check-self-bootstrap.sh: repin_check (pass/fail)
  • error events at primary fatal exits

events.sh is registered in the self-bootstrap compose-script list, so this
is a mechanism-of-touch change: a re-pin is required before the next cut
(AGENTS.md section 2).

Tests: tests/events.bats pins JSON validity, value escaping, and the
runtime-safety invariant (survives jq-missing under set -e); both invariants
mutation-verified. manifest-precheck.bats migrated to run --separate-stderr
so stdout (skip/proceed) stays assertable while events land on stderr.

Ships docs/events-logging.md + examples/grafana/release-events.json. The
api_call (API latency) + workflow-level cut_complete.ms_total events are
deferred to a follow-up tracker (#204).

APPROVED (re-stamp at 780328c) — #159 logging substrate, rebased continuation of #203

The 3149 substantive review carries — verified by content-identity, not just asserted. Batch step 2.

Byte-identity confirmed at source

  • events.sh sha256 IDENTICAL between #205 (780328c) and the approved #203 (3e4e275): c1414b5da9e9ed70b01e30651f50baa57fe84754. Same blob — so the mutation-verified invariants (never-abort via || true+return 0, escaping via jq --arg, stdout-clean via >&2) all carry exactly. I checked the actual hash rather than trust "byte-identical."
  • Same file scope: AGENTS.md / changelog.d/159.added.md / events-logging.md / grafana example / check-self-bootstrap.sh / the 3 instrumented scripts / events.sh / the 2 bats — identical to #203.
  • Clean rebase, disjoint from #195's split (events.sh/scripts vs _release.yml ordering — no overlap).

The #203 title-overwrite oddity — content unaffected

Good catch flagging it. Confirmed: #205's title is correctly feat: structured JSON logging substrate (closes #159), and the content sha256 matches the approved substance — so whatever rewrote #203's metadata title to "chore(release): v0.14.1" (AGit topic interaction / release-decide, as you suspect) was metadata-only; it did not touch the commit content. My 3149 approval was on the right substance, and #205 is that substance verbatim. Worth a note for the AGit-flow gotcha file, but not a content concern.

Stacking note

#205's base/merge_base is 6433294 (#195's rebased head) — so it's FF once #195 lands (the batch order: merge #195 → main=6433294 → #205 is FF). Correct stacking for the sequence.

Approval stands on this verified head. Clear to merge as step 2 (after #195). Then step 3: tag v0.15.0-rc.1 + re-pin — the alignment-check will now actively cover events.sh (it's in the compose-list), so the re-pin is the first to validate the logging-substrate surface too. Standing by. 🎯
