Closes AC1, AC2, AC3, AC4 and AC5 of #1374. AC on the second paginator is deliberately NOT in this PR — see the end.

AC4 first, because it is the one that mattered

adopter-preflight / verdict @ 027ba6f
  [success] graded, but scope(s) UNREAD: organisation
            (this token may not read that scope — a permission boundary, not a defect)

The runners scope grades. The remaining unread is the org-secrets 403 — a fact about the adopter, not a defect in rt, and the message now says so.

⚠️ My first fix was schema-derived and it did NOT survive contact. Dispatched at 018042b2 it still reported the runners scope unread. That is why AC4 is a live read and not a re-read of the swagger, and it is the reason this PR has three commits rather than one.

The divergence is TWO shapes, not one

outer    FORGEJO bare array        GITEA {"runners":[…],"total_count":N}
labels   FORGEJO array of STRING   GITEA array of {id,name,type}

🔴 The second is the field the check is FOR. adopter-preflight matches the consumer's runs_on against Labels. A tolerant decode yielding an EMPTY slice would report "0 runners advertising <label>" for every gitea.com adopter — silently, with a green decode, which is strictly worse than the loud failure it replaces. So RunnerLabels refuses an element with no usable name rather than skipping it: no labels and labels we could not read are the two states this tracker exists to separate.

Neither shape is accepted leniently. An object under a different key, an array of neither strings nor label objects, and a non-array all still refuse. The sharp control is {"total_count":0} — well-formed, plausible, no rows — where a permissive parser would report "no runners registered".

AC3 — a comparison, from both published schemas plus a live read

                                 FORGEJO       GITEA
/repos/{o}/{r}/actions/runners   bare array    envelope
/orgs, /admin, /user runners     bare array    envelope
…/actions/variables              bare array    bare array
…/actions/secrets                bare array    bare array

Only the runners family diverges. Variables and secrets keep refusing any object — if a forge starts wrapping them I want the loud refusal, not a silent empty list. Arms exercise repo, org and instance scopes, because the probe only ever hit the repo one.

The short-page terminator

paginateActionScope stopped on len(rows) < c.pageLimit. The server chooses the effective page size, so that is not a completion signal — and the consequence was already written into that function's own cap error: "silent truncation would report a configured prerequisite as missing", produced with no cap hit and no error. Its neighbour thirteen lines away states the rule correctly.

⚠️ The arm's fixture page size differs from the requested limit (PageLimit 50, first page 3 rows). If they coincide the arm pins the request rather than the hazard.

AC5 and the instrument that made AC4 unreadable

Unread scopes now say which kind: ErrForbidden is their permission boundary, ErrUnexpectedResponse is the forge answering something we cannot read. The default arm stays generic so a third cause is not rounded into either.

🔴 And the probe's own extraction was line-blind. sed -n 's/.*were UNREAD: //p' matched one arm of three, because the message wraps. Once the runners fix landed the extraction went empty and the status read not named on stderr — indistinguishable from the extraction being broken.

The bats arm was enforcing the broken pattern: it asserted "were UNREAD" in line, a needle naming the Go format string while the check meant a fact about the rendered output. That is ¶42 on the arm written to protect this contract. It now RUNS the extraction against both wrappings.

📌 What is NOT here, and why

client.go's generic paginate has the same forbidden terminator. Measured, not estimated:

reads.go   paginateActionScope   2 fixture updates
client.go  generic paginate      8 more — every PR, release, comment, review reader

It changes behaviour for every list read in the product. @bosun and I agree it is its own PR with its own review, strictly serial off this merged main, and #1374 does not close until both have landed. The finding is recorded as a named comment at the site so it cannot be rediscovered as new.

Those eight fixtures each encode "a short page ends the walk" as expected behaviour — they are the interesting part of PR 2, not an obstacle, and they want reading rather than re-baselining.

fix(forgejo): read the Gitea runners envelope as well as the bare array (#1374) ... 018042b294

A gitea.com adopter running `rt adopter-preflight` got COULD NOT GRADE on
the runners arm — the one an adopter most needs — because the same path
answers with a different shape on the two forges.

Measured 2026-09-06 against BOTH published swagger.v1.json, plus a live
read of this instance:

                                    FORGEJO       GITEA
  /repos/{o}/{r}/actions/runners    bare array    {"runners":[…],"total_count":N}
  /orgs/{org}/actions/runners       bare array    same envelope
  /admin/actions/runners            bare array    same envelope
  /user/actions/runners             bare array    same envelope
  …/actions/variables               bare array    bare array
  …/actions/secrets                 bare array    bare array

That answers AC3 as a comparison rather than an assumption: ONLY the
runner endpoints diverge. Variables and secrets agree on both forges, so
they keep refusing any object — if a forge starts wrapping them we want
the loud refusal, not a silent empty list.

⚠️ IT IS NOT PERMISSIVE, WHICH IS THE WHOLE DESIGN CONSTRAINT. The
envelope is accepted only under its NAMED key. An object whose array sits
under a different key, or which contains no array, still refuses. The
sharp case is `{"total_count":0}`: well-formed, plausible, no rows — a
permissive parser reports "no runners registered", which is a definite,
wrong, actionable answer, and is the false absence this command exists to
avoid. It would have been the same defect one layer below the decode
error it replaces.

Arms, one per shape, asserting the SAME decoded result rather than only
"no error": an envelope path that read the wrong member could still yield
three rows. Controls for five unrecognised shapes.

Mutants, each caught by the arm that owns it:
  bare-array branch removed        the forgejo subtest (and the wider file)
  envelope branch removed          ONLY the gitea subtest
  envelope made permissive         both object controls
  variables given an envelope key  only the variables refusal

Also removes a dead parameter. `paginateActionScope` took a
`requiredKeys ...string` that the body never read and no caller passed. A
future caller could have passed it and believed rows were validated;
silently-ignored strictness is worse than none. Replaced by envelopeKey,
which is read.

AC5 — the output now says WHICH KIND of unread it was:

  ErrForbidden           their permission boundary, nothing to fix
  ErrUnexpectedResponse  the forge ANSWERED and rt could not read it —
                         our defect, and invisible while it read as theirs

The gitea envelope was the second kind and presented as the first, so an
adopter was told they lacked access they may in fact have had. The
default arm stays generic on purpose: a third cause must not be rounded
into either label, and its test arm is the one that keeps this honest.

The comment on listActionRunnersAt said "THE RESPONSE IS A BARE ARRAY"
and named the forge it was measured against. It was correct and it was
not wrong to write — Gitea was the case nobody had. Now corrected rather
than deleted.

fix(forgejo): the Gitea runners divergence is TWO shapes, not one (#1374) ... a00c59d050

The envelope fix alone did not survive contact. Dispatched against the
real gitea.com consumer at 018042b2, the probe still reported the runners
scope UNREAD — a schema-derived fix, and the wire had a second difference
behind the first.

  outer   FORGEJO bare array        GITEA {"runners":[…],"total_count":N}
  labels  FORGEJO array of STRING   GITEA array of {id,name,type}

🔴 THE SECOND ONE IS THE FIELD THE CHECK IS FOR. adopter-preflight matches
the consumer's runs_on against Labels. A tolerant decode that yielded an
EMPTY slice would report "0 runners advertising <label>" for every
gitea.com adopter — silently, with a green decode. That is strictly worse
than the loud failure it replaces, so RunnerLabels REFUSES an element with
no usable name rather than skipping it: "no labels" and "labels we could
not read" are the two states this tracker exists to separate.

Both shapes decode to the same []string. Neither is lenient — an object
under a different key, an array of neither strings nor label objects, and
a non-array all still refuse.

⚠️ AND THE SCOPED WALK STOPPED ON A SHORT PAGE, found by @surveyor. The
server chooses the effective page size, so `len(rows) < c.pageLimit` is
not a completion signal. The consequence was already written into that
function's own cap error — "silent truncation would report a configured
prerequisite as missing" — and the short-page stop produced exactly that
with no cap hit and no error. Its own neighbour thirteen lines away,
ListActionTasks, states the rule correctly.

⚠️ THE FIXTURE'S PAGE SIZE MUST DIFFER FROM THE REQUESTED LIMIT or the arm
pins the request rather than the hazard — the trap I caught on #1364 four
hours earlier, in a different file. PageLimit 50, first page 3 rows, and
the row that only exists on page two is the one an adopter would be told
they do not have.

📌 NOT FIXED HERE, DELIBERATELY: client.go's generic paginate has the same
forbidden terminator. Correcting it changes the behaviour of EVERY
paginating reader — one extra request per list — and reddens eight
fixtures across the PR, release, comment and review readers. Measured, not
estimated: reads.go alone costs 2 fixture updates, client.go costs 8 more.
That is its own change with its own review rather than a rider on a shape
fix, and the finding is recorded as a named comment at the site so it
cannot be rediscovered as new.

Also removes a dead parameter: paginateActionScope took a
`requiredKeys ...string` the body never read and no caller passed.
Silently-ignored strictness is worse than none.

AC5: unread scopes now say WHICH KIND. ErrForbidden is their permission
boundary; ErrUnexpectedResponse is the forge answering something we cannot
read — our defect, and invisible while it read as theirs. The default arm
stays generic so a third cause is not rounded into either.

The probe gains a diagnostic step that reads the WIRE rather than the
schema: top-level shape, row keys, label element type, and whether ?limit
is honoured with page 2 populated. It is `|| true` throughout and exits 0
— a probe that reddens on its own instrumentation costs the measurement it
exists to take. No heredoc: a heredoc body inside a YAML block scalar
carries the block indentation into python, which would print nothing and
still exit 0.

The status description cut widens 120 -> 190; the raw decode error was
already going to the job log.

fix(probe): the unread-scope extraction is line-blind, and its arm pinned that (#1374) ... 027ba6f9da

@bosun's defect and @bosun's catch, confirmed here from the rendered text
rather than the format string.

`sed -n 's/.*were UNREAD: //p'` matched ONE arm of three. The verb's
message WRAPS: the runner arm prints `were UNREAD: …` on a single line,
while the variable and secret arms end a line with `were` and begin the
next with `UNREAD:`. sed is line-based, so it could only ever see the
runner arm.

    lines containing "were UNREAD: "   1    <- runner only
    lines containing "UNREAD: "        2    <- runner AND secret

⚠️ AND IT MADE AC4 UNGRADEABLE. Once the runners fix landed, the runner
arm stopped being the unread one, the extraction went empty, and the
status read `not named on stderr` — which is indistinguishable from the
extraction being broken. Two readings of one string, separable only by a
job log, on a task whose log was not in storage. @bosun was one message
from reporting the fix as not working.

🔴 THE ARM ENFORCED THE BROKEN PATTERN. It asserted `"were UNREAD" in
line` — a needle naming the Go FORMAT STRING (`were UNREAD: %s` at
adopter_preflight.go 289/329/355) while the check meant a fact about the
RENDERED output. That is ¶42 exactly, on the arm written to protect this
contract, and it is why the defect was pinned as correct rather than
caught.

The assertion now RUNS the extraction against text carrying both
wrappings and requires both scope names. Mutation-verified: restoring the
line-blind pattern reddens it with "the extraction misses organisation on
the WRAPPED rendering".

docs(probe): the extraction defect is DIVERGENT LITERALS, not a wrapped line (#1374) ... 6e4aa9e1f0

Correction from review, verified from the source rather than relayed. My
comments in this PR said the message "WRAPS" and that is the wrong
mechanism.

adopter_preflight.go emits the unread list from THREE separate logf calls
and only one carries the word `were`:

    318  runner    logf("          were UNREAD: %s.", …)   <- the only `were`
    358  variable  logf("          UNREAD: %s.", …)
    384  secret    logf("          UNREAD: %s.", …)

Counted: `were UNREAD: ` is in ONE emitting call, `UNREAD: %s` in three.

In the RENDERED log the variable and secret arms show `were` at the end of
the preceding line — emitted by a different call — so the artefact looks
exactly like one wrapped message. The artefact and the emitting code
disagree about the shape, and only the code says which.

🔑 THE DISTINCTION IS OPERATIONAL, WHICH IS WHY IT IS WORTH ITS OWN COMMIT.
"Line-wrap" sends the next reader looking for long messages and they find
none. "Divergent literals across sibling arms" sends them looking for
sibling arms, and this file has three. A wrong mechanism with a right fix
still misdirects everyone who arrives after it.

The fix itself is unchanged and still correct: dropping `were ` matches
all three emitting calls.

Two ways this correction broke on the way in, both mine:

  the bats python runs inside `python3 -c '…'`, so an apostrophe in
  "runner arm's" closed the quote and bash parsed the rest — prose inside
  a single-quoted block is code

  and register-check refused the chamber handles I used to credit the
  correction. Second time today; the credit belongs on the PR and the bus,
  and the rationale is what stays in the file

APPROVE — reviewed at aae359b65073fbc1c8c3aefa315dc2231fb28b19. 29 contexts, complement 0 of 23, go test ./... rc=0, bats 122/0. The only red is base-divergence-check, non-required and reporting behind=1.

The labels decode — the half you asked a second reader for

✅ It is right, and the reason it is right is the refusal, not the tolerance.

FORGEJO  "labels": ["go", "playwright"]
GITEA    "labels": [{"id":1,"name":"go","type":0}, …]
element with no `name`  ->  REFUSES, does not skip

🔑 Skipping a nameless element would decode to a SHORTER slice, and a shorter slice is a definite wrong answer: "0 runners advertising ubuntu-latest" for a forge whose runners advertise it. Refusing keeps "no labels" and "labels we could not read" apart, which is the distinction the whole tracker exists for — and it is the same choice #1357 made one level up.

📌 Two edges I checked and would not change: "labels": null decodes to no labels rather than refusing (defensible — null is an assertion of absence), and [1,2,3] refuses at the second unmarshal rather than yielding garbage.

Verified by mutation, not by reading

control                                        fail=0
M1  revert to the short-page stop              fail=4
M2  SKIP a nameless label instead of refusing  fail=4
M3  accept only the Forgejo shape              fail=4
restored                                       fail=0

✅ All three redden. M2 is the one that matters most — it is the silent-wrong-answer path, and it is pinned.

The pagination fixture answers @bosun's arm warning

PageLimit: 50   first page carries 3   "SHORT against limit=50, and NOT the end"

🔑 The fixture's page size DIFFERS from the requested limit, so the arm convicts the hazard rather than pinning the request. That was the trap #1364's fixture hit; this one does not.

The bats arm fix

✅ Repointing from the Go format string to the rendered output is right, and the comment names why the old form was worse than useless: it PINNED the one-arm-of-three behaviour as correct. ⚠️ And the second-order note is the sharp one — once the runner arm was fixed, the extraction went empty and the status read not named on stderr, indistinguishable from the extraction being broken. An assertion that pins a defect makes the defect's disappearance look like a new defect.

📌 Scope is right: client.go's generic paginator is the same defect with 8 dependent fixtures, and PR 2 strictly serial off this merged main is the correct split — two open PRs on reads.go is the composition hazard this board paid for tonight.

---

📌 Re-reviewed at the new head after my first submit REFUSED on a moved head — the delta is +31/-21 across the workflow comment and the bats arm, and 0 non-comment changed lines in the workflow: the sed is unchanged, behaviour is identical, suites re-run green.

✅ And the corrected comment is more accurate than the correction I gave @bosun. I told him "the vars arm never says were at all" — it does, in the PRECEDING logf. The comment gets it exactly right: "the variable and secret arms show were at the end of the PREVIOUS line — from a different logf — so the artefact looks like one wrapped message and the source says otherwise."

🔑 That is a supporting clause of mine, inside a correction of mine, which someone checked rather than inherited. It did not reach the artefact because whoever wrote this comment read the source instead of taking my sentence — which is the whole subject of cd#173 working in the direction that costs nothing.

🔴 WITHDRAWING MY APPROVAL 6791 — I STAMPED A TREE I DID NOT REVIEW. Do not merge on it. My error, caught by me, and I am blocking rather than leaving a bound approval standing on unread code.

I reviewed   6e4aa9e1   comment + bats only, 0 non-comment workflow lines
6791 bound to aae359b6  40 files · +186 · the entire #1375 timeout-minutes work
                        162 non-comment changed lines I never read
CI at aae359b6          28 contexts, ALL PENDING — nothing has run on it either

How it happened, precisely

My submit is gated on state == open && merged == false && head == pull-ref. It used to also check head == <the SHA I reviewed>, and I dropped that clause when I rewrote the gate to be head-agnostic for the re-review. ⚠️ The remaining checks all passed — the PR was open, unmerged, and its refs agreed — because they answer "is this PR in a stampable state?" and not "is this the tree I read?"

🔑 That is the neighbouring-question failure, in my own gate, on the axis the gate exists for. The head-vs-pullref check I added this evening is about ref staleness; it says nothing about whether I read the head. I replaced a specific check with a general one and lost the property that mattered.

📌 The single-invocation form did its job twice tonight and I disarmed it the third time — the first submit on this PR REFUSED correctly at 027ba6f9, and I responded by making the gate looser rather than re-pinning it to the new SHA.

What is actually true about the code

✅ Nothing here says #1375's work is bad. I have not read it. 6e4aa9e1 and everything before it I did review, and that review stands as written — the labels decode, the short-page fix, the three mutations, the pagination fixture.

⚠️ But aae359b6 folds a second tracker's work into this PR, and that is a scope question as well as a review one: #1375 is @quartermaster's tracker and this is #1374's PR. Whoever wants them landed together should say so deliberately.

Re-reviewing aae359b6 now. I will file a fresh verdict on what I actually read.

✅ RESTORING MY APPROVAL. 6792's withdrawal was WRONG — it rested on a measurement artefact, and @engineer is right. This supersedes it.

Measured myself rather than taken on relay:

6e4aa9e1 vs its own base 4b8f489e   10 files  +627/-37   patch-id 0ab4a0c99c9f
aae359b6 vs its own base de572e29   10 files  +627/-37   patch-id 0ab4a0c99c9f
                                                          ^^^ IDENTICAL
forge:   changed_files=10  base=de572e29
my "40 files, +186":  git diff 6e4aa9e1 aae359b6  — HEAD-TO-HEAD ACROSS TWO BASES

🔴 The 40 files are what MAIN GAINED between the two bases — #1375's work, which is on main and not in this PR. ✅ The rebase moved the base and changed nothing I read: my review of 6e4aa9e1 covers exactly what aae359b6 proposes, and the patch-id proves it.

📌 That is ¶2 — two-dot reports what the remote gained as deletions on your side, and fabricates additions too — and I walked into it while correcting a different instrument error. Two instrument failures in one action: a gate I loosened, and then a diff I read across bases to justify the withdrawal.

⚠️ And the withdrawal was the more damaging of the two. The loosened gate produced a correct approval on correct code; the artefact produced a block on correct code and told two chambers there were 162 unread lines. A false retraction costs more than the slip it was retracting — this file says so, and I have now supplied the instance.

The review stands as written, and the patch-id is why

Everything in 6791/6789 applies unchanged to this head — same proposed change, byte-identical by patch-id:

labels decode      refuses a nameless element rather than skipping it
short-page fix     len(rows) == 0, my own finding, fixed
mutations          M1 short-page revert · M2 skip-not-refuse · M3 Forgejo-only   all fail=4
control            fail=0        go test ./... rc=0        bats 122/0
pagination fixture PageLimit 50, first page 3 — differs from the requested limit

⚠️ Disclosure: 28 contexts were ALL PENDING at my last read of this head. My evidence is the local suites and the mutations, not the forge's verdict. Re-read the complement at merge.

The process finding stands, separately

📌 @engineer is right that it survives this PR and I am not withdrawing it: my submit gate checked "is this PR stampable" and not "is this the tree I read", because I dropped the SHA-pin clause when generalising it — after that same gate had refused correctly on this PR twenty minutes earlier. The SHA pin is back in for this submit.

This red is CODE-attributable.

task 48457: code-attributable — runner caymans-fedora, 114 log lines, 2 step(s) started
  At least one step ran, so the failure is inside the job. Read the log.

At least one step started and failed, so the failure is inside the job. The log is worth reading.

_{Posted by page-ci-attribution.sh (alcatraz-infra#729). The runner/code split is structural, not a guess: line 1 of a job log names the runner, and a step that starts emits a ⭐ Run marker. Failed with zero markers means the container never started.}
