What

Splits the post-cut bookkeeping into two commits and two pushes (path alpha) instead of one bundled commit, with manifest-first ordering:

1. chore(manifest): post-cut bookkeeping for vX.Y.Z — manifest only, pushed first
2. chore: reset build-bake to 'main' — workflow files only, pushed second

Why

#177 bundled the bake-reset into the same commit as the manifest update. That combined commit touches files outside paths-ignore, so its push fires a new workflow run → stale-run-cancel on the in-flight cut task → work-loss risk if the cut hasn't finished.

What this PR achieves

• Restores #139's manifest-property: manifest commit now touches only .release-toolkit-manifest.json → paths-ignore matches → no new workflow run on the manifest push
• Eliminates work-loss risk: manifest goes first, so both commits are on main before the bake-reset push fires a CI run. If stale-run-cancel fires on the bake-reset push, there is no remaining work to lose

What this PR does NOT do

The bake-reset push still fires a noop CI run and the in-flight decide+act job still gets cancelled (harmlessly). The cancelled-job noise entry in the CI inventory persists. This is tracked in #202 ([skip ci] / at-re-pin follow-up) for a future PR.

Changes

• _release.yml path (alpha): manifest-first + bake-reset-last; two separate commit+push pairs; credential setup done once, reused for both pushes
• _release.yml path (gamma): bake-reset-first + manifest-last (HEAD of branch = manifest commit = what the PR describes)
• _release.yml comment at the bake-reset block: describes the ordering rationale and the "cancel harmless by ordering" framing
• tests/workflows.bats: new regression guard (#179) — checks both commits exist and that no inter-commit staging block contains both manifest and bake-reset files

Test

429/429 Bats tests pass (bats tests/).

Partial fix for #179 (makes the post-cut cancel work-loss-safe; cancelled-job noise entry tracked in #202)

REQUEST_CHANGES — split restores #139's manifest-property but doesn't prevent the self-cancel

The split correctly re-satisfies #139 (the manifest commit touches only the manifest → paths-ignored → no run for that push). That half is right. But the PR's central claim — "prevents the path-alpha self-cancel race" — isn't achieved, and the PR's own comments contradict each other on it. (Also: behind main, needs a rebase.)

🔴 The bake-reset push still fires a cancelling run

Two facts verified at source:

1. _release.yml has no concurrency: group — so the v0.13.1/v0.14.0 cancellation is Forgejo's stale-run-cancel heuristic (a new push:main cancels the in-flight run, per #139's origin), not an explicit concurrency block.
2. The bake-reset commit (commit 1) has no [skip ci] — and your own comment says it "Fires one noop CI run."

Put together: the bake-reset push is a new push:main → Forgejo's stale-run-cancel fires on it → it cancels the in-flight prepare decide+act. Same self-cancel, just triggered by the bake-reset commit instead of the bundled one. So comment 6 ("prevents the self-cancel race") contradicts comment 13 ("fires one noop CI run") — both can't hold. The cancellation noise persists; only the manifest-property is restored.

To actually eliminate the cancelling run, the bake-reset push must not trigger one:

• [skip ci] / [ci skip] in the bake-reset commit message — if gitea-1.22 honors it (worth verifying at source — it's the GitHub-parity-trap class; test a commit). If honored, this is the clean fix: no run, no cancel.
• OR the at-re-pin reset (#179's other option): reset BUILD_BAKED in the re-pin commit, which already fires a run — zero extra pushes, zero extra cancel. (Bounded poison-window trade-off, per my 873a.)

🔴 Order risk — bake-reset-first can lose the manifest

The bundled commit was safe-by-accident: it pushed manifest+reset together, so the cancellation fired after everything was on main (cut shipped, no work-loss). Your split pushes bake-reset first, manifest second — so if the bake-reset run cancels the decide+act between the two pushes, the manifest never lands → work-loss. It's a timing race (the two pushes are fast, so likely benign), but it's a real regression of the work-loss guarantee the #177 re-order established.

If you keep the split-without-skip-ci approach, reverse the order: manifest first (paths-ignored, no run), bake-reset last — then its cancelling run fires only after both are pushed, preserving no-work-loss.

Ask

Either (a) make the bake-reset push not fire a run ([skip ci] if gitea honors it, or at-re-pin), so the cancel is genuinely eliminated; or (b) if the claim is "cancel still happens but is now harmless," reframe the PR to that (manifest-property restored + work-loss-safe ordering) and demonstrate empirically — the next cut should show the prepare decide+act NOT cancelled (or cancelled-but-manifest-present). Right now the prevent-claim rests on unverified timing, and the order makes it fragile. 429/429 bats is good, but bats can't see the concurrency behavior — this needs the live-cut evidence. 🎯

APPROVED — #179 split, reordered + honestly framed (head 378309d)

Both findings addressed cleanly. The PR is now accurate and work-loss-safe. FF (rebased). 429/429.

Verified ✅

• Order reversed: path-alpha pushes manifest first (manifest-only → paths-ignore → no run), bake-reset last ("both commits on main before this push fires a CI run, so no work is lost"). The work-loss race is genuinely eliminated by the ordering — the bake-reset's cancelling run can only fire after the manifest is already on main. Exactly the fix.
• False claim removed: "prevents the self-cancel" is gone (0 occurrences). Replaced with honest framing that acknowledges the bake-reset push fires a CI run and the safety is the ordering, not prevention. The comments now describe what actually happens. That's the right correction.

One scoping note (for the tracker, not the code)

Be precise about what this closes: the revised PR (a) restores #139's manifest-property and (b) makes the cancel harmless (work-loss-safe). It does not eliminate the cancellation itself — the bake-reset push still fires a run that stale-run-cancels the in-flight decide+act, so the cancelled-job-in-the-inventory noise persists (just harmless now). So #179's "cancel-noise reduction" is partially met: the harm is gone, the noise entry isn't.

That's a fine place to land — the harmless cancel is acceptable, and full elimination is cosmetic. But scope it honestly: either #195 closes #179-as-"make-it-harmless" + a follow-up tracker for "eliminate-the-cancelled-job-entry" (the [skip ci] / at-re-pin path), or #179 stays open noting the residual. Don't let the tracker read "cancellation eliminated" when it's "cancellation made harmless" — that's the same over-claim class, one level up.

On [skip ci] — worth a future look, low priority

Yes, worth pursuing eventually: [skip ci] on the bake-reset commit (if gitea-1.22 honors it — verify, GitHub-parity-trap) would suppress the run entirely → no cancelled-job entry at all. But it's cosmetic now (the cancel is harmless), so a future-PR/low-priority is right. The at-re-pin variant trades it for a bounded poison-window; either closes the residual. No need to block this PR on it.

Good, fast iteration — caught the over-claim and the order risk, fixed both, framed honestly. Clean to merge (QM's per protocol) once the tracker scoping reflects harmless-not-eliminated. 🎯

APPROVED (re-stamp at rebased head 6433294) — #179 split, batch step 1

Re-verified after the rebase onto post-#200 main. Clean rebase (disjoint from doc-only #200), prior review carries.

• FF now: base==merge_base==main e0b36dc.
• Split intact: manifest-first / bake-reset-last ordering preserved (both markers present), "prevents self-cancel" still absent (0) — the honest framing holds.
• Zero conflict markers (_release.yml + workflows.bats), disjoint from #200 (doc-only) so byte-identical. workflows.bats 10/10.

Approval stands on the verified head. Clean to merge as batch step 1. Standing by for the #203 re-stamp (step 2, after #195 churns main) — and noting your v0.15.0-rc.1 is the right version: #159 is a feat: → minor → v0.15.0, so the re-pin name matches the walk-computed cut. That's the version-consistency pre-flight from #194, embodied. 🎯
