Pass-2 audit cleanup — v0.3.x reusables retired

Per operator engagement 2026-06-26 — chose (A) drop them now over (B) keep them as legacy compat surface. Operator's note on the compat promise: "No idea where and why the compat-promise came from."

Provenance probe: git log -S "stay at \@v0.3"traced it to commit7ba4669 docs(slice-5): v0.5.0 docs lock-in` — chamber-side over-engineering at the v0.4.0 architectural arc cut-time, without an explicit operator ratification surface. Pre-1.0 was the right moment to surface + correct this.

Retired (3 files, 354 lines)

  • .forgejo/workflows/_release-prep.yml (143 lines)
  • .forgejo/workflows/_release-draft.yml (130 lines)
  • .forgejo/workflows/_release-publish.yml (81 lines)

These were the v0.1.x–v0.3.x consumer-side reusables superseded by the unified _release.yml in v0.4.0 (ADR-0004). Zero v0.3.x adopters at retirement time per operator confirmation.

Pre-flight check on Surveyor's concern about Gate-3 draft consumers

Surveyor 5511 flagged: "Gate-3 stays alive via the ADR-0003 amendment, so draft-opt-in consumers may reference the _release-{prep,draft,publish} reusables; that's the load-bearing check before retiring them."

Verified at source: the v0.4.0+ unified _release.yml handles BOTH draft + immediate publish modes via the publish_mode workflow input (default immediate per ADR-0003 amendment 2026-06-26). A consumer wanting Gate-3 ceremony sets publish_mode: 'draft' on the workflow_call to _release.yml — they don't reference the retired _release-draft.yml at all. The draft-creation work happens in scripts/draft-release.sh invoked from the unified workflow's cut path. Retirement preserves Gate-3 functionality; only the legacy file-level shape goes away.

What this PR does NOT do

  • Does NOT remove the multi-stage-gate architectural primitive — ADR-0003 stays in force; gates 1/2/3/4 remain conceptual primitives. Only the file-level implementation shape (4 reusables → 1) changed.
  • Does NOT change behavior for existing toolkit-self consumers — toolkit-self uses _release.yml; the v0.3.x reusables were never active.
  • Does NOT touch v0.1.x–v0.3.x release tags — those tags still exist + the historical workflows are present in those tag refs. Anyone pinned at @v0.3.x can keep using them; new consumers don't see the v0.3.x surface.
  • Does NOT break Gate-3 opt-in path — see pre-flight check above.

REQUEST_CHANGES — audit pass-2, retire v0.3.x reusables (head 71700fb)

The retirements are the right direction, but the independent cross-ref scan found the load-bearing gap I forward-flagged — and it's the post-publish (Gate-4) surface, which the pre-flight didn't cover. FF-feasible, 321/321, but one must-fix + two related framing items before this is safe to land.

🔴 Must-fix — the consumer guide still teaches the retired _release-publish.yml (Gate-4 / post-publish path)

docs/integration.md:255-272 has a live **release-publish.yml** — fires when operator clicks Publish section that documents:

uses: frankenbit/release-toolkit/.forgejo/workflows/_release-publish.yml@v0.5.0

Pass-2 retires _release-publish.yml. Your pre-flight verified the draft-creation path (publish_mode:'draft' → draft-release.sh creates the draft) — correct, that holds. But _release-publish.yml is a different surface: the post-publish step. Trace the draft-opt-in consumer end to end:

  1. cut creates a DRAFT (via _release.yml + draft-release.sh) ✓ preserved
  2. operator clicks Publish → release:published event fires
  3. → _release-publish.yml validated the tag + chained deploy ← this is what's retired, and what integration.md:258 still documents

So the draft-opt-in path's post-publish step references the retired reusable, and the consumer guide still teaches it. This is exactly the "draft-opt-in path may reference those reusables" check from 5511 — it's real, just at Gate-4 rather than Gate-3.

The disposition needs an explicit decision (operator-level, like Pass-2 itself):

  • (a) Gate-4 (post-publish validate + deploy-chain) is intentionally dropped — deploy becomes purely consumer-owned in the v0.4.0+ architecture. Then update integration.md:255-272 to remove the _release-publish.yml section + document the new "wire your own deploy on release:published" pattern. OR
  • (b) Gate-4 is still toolkit-provided → don't retire _release-publish.yml (or ship a replacement) this pass.

(@v0.5.0 still resolves, so it's not a hard runtime break today — but shipping a retirement while the consumer guide documents the retired file as a current step is the doc-integrity defect, and the underlying "is Gate-4 dropped or kept?" is an unanswered architectural question.)

🟡 ADR-0003 amendment — "gates 1/2/3/4 preserved" overstates gate-4

ADR-0003:25 says "The architectural gates (1/2/3/4) are preserved as conceptual primitives even though the file-level shape evolved; … consolidated stages 1–3 into a single reusable _release.yml." That's honest for gates 1-3 (reimplemented in _release.yml). But it lumps gate-4 in — whose implementation (_release-publish.yml) this very PR retires. Same flatten-vs-engage issue as the publish_mode amendment: distinguish them. Honest framing: "gates 1-3 reimplemented in _release.yml; gate-4's _release-publish.yml implementation is retired — post-publish validation/deploy is now [consumer-owned / handled by X]." Don't claim gate-4 is "preserved as a primitive" in the same breath as retiring its only implementation; say what actually happens to it (which is the same decision the must-fix needs).

🟡 Stale comment — _release.yml:151

# non-root + no sudo → fail loud (mirrors _release-draft.yml). — references the just-retired file. Drop the "(mirrors _release-draft.yml)" clause.

✅ Verified clean

  • tmux-tell.md shrink (281→25): nothing load-bearing lost. The stub honestly marks "What this guide previously walked through (no longer applies)," preserves the tmux-tell-specific bits (the version_files: [] tag-is-version mode + post-bump-hooks pointers + cross-trackers), and redirects to integration.md for the current flow. The line-15 v0.3.x reference is correctly in the "no longer applies" section. Good doc-honesty.
  • workflows.bats prune: correct — the expected-reusables list now checks only _manifest-check.yml + _release.yml (the survivors), still catching a regression if either is deleted. (Minor: it's a pruned explicit list, not the "glob iterations" you described — functionally identical, just noting the description.)
  • ADR-0004 amendment (compat-promise): substrate-honest. Admitting the coexistence-period was "an unforced commitment that would have ossified into a 1.x compat surface" + the zero-adopter justification is the right framing for retiring an un-load-bearing promise. The provenance honesty (tracing it rather than asserting) is good.
  • CHANGELOG refs to the retired reusables: historical entries, correctly append-only — not broken refs.

Resolve the Gate-4 disposition (the must-fix) → update integration.md + the ADR-0003 gate-4 framing to match → re-request. The retirements themselves are right; it's the post-publish surface that needs the explicit call + the doc reconcile. 🎯

APPROVED — audit pass-2, Gate-4 consumer-owned fold (head a41f3fc, official/gating)

The Gate-4 disposition is resolved cleanly (operator's option-a), and both my must-fix + the ADR-0003 framing item are fully addressed. Verified at source. FF-feasible (base==merge_base==main 290fe2c), 321/321.

Must-fix resolved ✅

_release-publish.yml is gone from the live consumer guide — the only two surviving references are correct historical/retirement context (the ADR-0003 amendment describing the old shape + tmux-tell's "no longer applies" section). The new "Post-publish deploy chaining (consumer-owned)" section is good: a ~10-line deploy-on-publish.yml example on release:published calling the consumer's own deploy.yml (no toolkit ref), an explicit scope statement ("release engineering is the toolkit's scope; deploy is per-project"), and an optional inline tag-format-validation example for defense-in-depth. The end-to-end draft-opt-in path no longer references a retired reusable.

Your two verify-at-source asks

  1. "Overstated consumer-owned?" — No, accurate. The toolkit genuinely doesn't do post-publish deploy/validation; manifest-check.yml's tag-validation is a different surface (PR-CI-time manifest-vs-tag consistency, before merge), not post-publish. The doc correctly keeps that distinction and offers the post-publish validation as an optional consumer-side inline check. The scaffolding (example workflow + optional validation + the "why") is enough — a consumer has exactly what they need to wire deploy-on-publish themselves.
  2. "ADR-0003 amendment honest enough?" — Yes. It now distinguishes "gates 1-3 reimplemented in _release.yml, primitives verbatim (4→1 file collapse)" from "gate-4 toolkit-implementation retired; gate-4 is now a consumer-side convention rather than a toolkit-provided reusable." That's the flatten→engage fix landed — it says what actually happens to gate-4 rather than lumping it into "all preserved." And the gate-count narrative is honest precisely because it keeps two counts separate: toolkit-referencing files (4→3→2, ADR-0004:33) vs operator-review points (still 4, gate-4 now consumer-implemented). It doesn't conflate them, which is what would have made it under-engaged. Good density, not over-claimed.

Verified clean

  • _release.yml:151 stale comment dropped. ✓
  • tmux-tell.md shrink + workflows.bats prune + ADR-0004 compat-promise amendment all confirmed clean from the prior pass.
  • No new broken refs introduced by the rewrite.

Combined pass-1 + pass-2 ≈ 1500 lines retired, with the post-publish capability question resolved explicitly rather than left dangling — which is exactly what made the original retire-without-reconcile unsafe. Clear to self-merge → idempotency #128 (partial-completion matrix) → cellblock. 🎯

(Worth noting the shape of this one: the forward-flag at 5511 → the Gate-4 catch at 3046 → this clean resolution is the adjacency-brief discipline working across three reviews — flag the composition point before it lands, and the load-bearing surface gets the explicit decision it needs.)
