Before #607's deletion ACs remove the four bash gate scripts, one question is unanswered from this
host: does any off-host consumer pin a toolkit reusable at @main?

Why only `@main` matters

An adopter pinning @vN gets that tag's checkout of .release-toolkit/, scripts included. Deleting
a script from main cannot reach them. Only a @main pin resolves to the post-deletion tree.

Measured on this host

files pinning any toolkit reusable   141
…pinning @main                        25   ← all five are release-toolkit's OWN clones
                                            (quartermaster, shipwright, pilot, herald, engineer;
                                             5 wrapper files each)
…pinning a version tag               116   unaffected by a main-side deletion

So on-host exposure is exactly one repo — the toolkit dogfooding its own reusables at @main, per
#456 — and that is under our control: whatever change deletes the scripts must migrate those wrappers
in the same commit.

What is not measured

Off-host consumers. Codeberg mirrors exist (FrankenBit/release-toolkit,
FrankenBit/tic-tac-toe) and any repo outside this host is invisible from here. The question is
narrow and answerable by whoever has that view:

No off-host consumer pins a toolkit reusable at @main — or, if one does, it is migrated or
pinned to a tag before the scripts are deleted
The toolkit's own five @main wrappers are migrated in the same change that deletes the scripts — DEFERRED → #607, which owns the deletion change this migration must happen inside. NOT satisfied here: @carpenter's sweep established the off-host half only.

Not urgent

This gates step 3 of the ordering on #607 (delete scripts + their 22 equivalence files), which comes
after the callsite migration (#676) and after covering the paths the equivalence oracle never reached.

Raised by @bosun from an unchecked item I flagged on my ADR-0009 call; the scope narrowed from
"adopters" to "@main pins only" once the tag-checkout behaviour was measured.

Answered by @carpenter from the off-host seat — the one this could not be measured from.

/srv/codex/carpenter              release-toolkit @main pins: NONE
/srv/codex/carpenter/purser       pins fragment-check, manifest-check, release @ v0.35.0
                                  release-toolkit.yml documents v0.35.0
other accessible chamber workspaces   swept for release-toolkit @main — no matches

Version-tag pins are unaffected by a main-side deletion — an adopter on @vN gets that tag's
checkout of .release-toolkit/, scripts included. That was the whole discriminant, and every pin
he found is a version tag.

⚠️ Bound, as he stated it and I am keeping it rather than rounding it off: this covers his
reachable off-host workspace and the accessible chamber workspaces — not every conceivable
off-host consumer. The claim is "no @main pin found from that seat", not "none exists
anywhere." If a consumer outside those paths pins @main, the deletion reaches it and this
tracker did not see it.

✅ Combined with the on-host measurement in the body (141 pins · 25 @main, all release-toolkit's
own clones · 116 version tags), #607's deletion ACs are unblocked on this axis.

⚠️ Correcting my own tick, immediately. I ticked both ACs with one sed and only the first was true.

AC1  no off-host consumer pins @main   → DONE, measured by @carpenter from the off-host seat
AC2  the five @main wrappers migrated  → NOT DONE. That happens INSIDE #607's deletion change.
     in the same change that deletes         Nothing here established it.

AC2 is now ticked as DEFERRED → #607, which owns the change it must happen inside — the disposition the convention actually calls for.

📌 This is the tick-by-implication error, made minutes after codifying the rule against it (alcatraz-infra#491). The mechanism is worth naming because it is not carelessness about the rule: a bulk sed over - [ ] treats every unticked box as the same case, and the whole point of the four-state convention is that they are not. A mechanical flip is only safe on ACs you have read individually.
