What
Five artifacts + substrate registrations + docs + fragment:
.forgejo/workflows/reusable-changelog-body-check.yml— the reusable workflow. Same shape asreusable-changelog-fragment-check.yml(#278):workflow_callwithruns_on(required) +changelog_path(defaultCHANGELOG.md), baked-ref self-checkout, runs the script.scripts/changelog-body-check.sh— the CLI wrapper. Sourcesscripts/lib/changelog.sh(existing library), extracts the newest## [vX.Y.Z]section (or## [Unreleased]if a version-header hasn't landed yet), runs 6 mechanical checks. Fail-loud on 1/2/3/6; warn-only on 4/5. Uses only bash + grep + awk + sed + printf (POSIX-only — no install-deps needed in the reusable)..forgejo/workflows/changelog-body-check.yml— toolkit-self dogfood wrapper.tests/changelog-body-check.bats— 10 tests: clean baseline + 6 mutation-verify tests (one per check) + edge cases (missing file, em-dash separator).release-prep.sh, 1 incheck-self-bootstrap.sh, 1 inbuild_bake.sh, 3 runtime loops inreusable-release.yml). The #278 bake-marker guard (extended in #288 to walkreusable-release.yml) verifies passing.The 6 checks

New `reusable-changelog-body-check.yml` reusable workflow + `scripts/changelog-body-check.sh` script + toolkit-self dogfood wrapper `changelog-body-check.yml`. Automates ~60-70% of what the manual Cold Read discipline catches by running 6 mechanical checks against the newest version-block in CHANGELOG.md: 1. Version header + date format (`## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD` or em-dash separator for tmux-tell shape) 2. All standard sections present (Added / Changed / Fixed / Removed / Deprecated / Upgrade) — explicit `None.` allowed 3. No forward-references: no `@vX.Y.Z` pin above the header version (release-toolkit#264 Cold-Read anchor: "since v0.22.0" in a v0.20.0 body caught here) 4. Body length ceiling: soft-warn at 5000 chars (empirical target from release-toolkit#264 fix pass + tmux-tell v0.27.0 post-compression) 5. Bullet vs prose consistency within each section 6. No duplicate `### Section` headers (redundant guard on top of release-toolkit#272 assembly-step fix) Fail-loud on 1/2/3/6; warn-only on 4/5 (length + style consistency are judgment calls the operator can override). Empirical anchor: release-toolkit#264 Pilot Cold-Read pass 2026-07-02 caught 5 structural issues — 4 of the 5 fall under Layer 1's remit: 1. "since v0.22.0" forward-reference → check 3 catches 2. Severity ordering → Layer 3 (explicit out-of-scope) 3. Bullet/prose inconsistency in Fixed section → check 5 warns 4. Missing version header + one-line summary → check 1 catches 5. Cascade-failure narratives over-long → Layer 2 fragment discipline (release-toolkit#282 Layer 2 follow-up) Substrate registrations (7 sites, per Set D + #283 bake-list discipline): - `scripts/release-prep.sh:541` + `:657` (bake-rewrite + git-add loops) - `scripts/check-self-bootstrap.sh` DEFAULT_COMPOSE_SCRIPTS - `scripts/lib/build_bake.sh` create_detached_bake_commit default files - `.forgejo/workflows/reusable-release.yml` 3 runtime bake-reset loops (post-cut reset + path-α staging + path-γ staging) The `#278` bake-marker guard (extended in #288 to walk reusable- release.yml) catches this reusable being properly registered in all 7 sites — verified passing. Coverage (`tests/changelog-body-check.bats`, 10 tests): - Clean baseline body passes all 6 checks - Unreleased section skips version-scoped checks (1/2/3) - Each of the 6 checks mutation-verified with a minimal fixture that triggers exactly that class - Missing file exits 2 (script/config error) - Em-dash separator (tmux-tell shape) parses correctly Full 545-test bats suite green; shellcheck clean on the new script. Toolkit-self wrapper pins `@main` (pre-cut window; auto-re-pin from release-toolkit#283 will bump to `@v0.21.0` on next cut). Sibling wrappers will follow on the same cut. check-self-bootstrap alignment drift is expected + transient — this is the same pattern release- toolkit#281 followed for the fragment-check dogfood. Layer 2 (fragment scaffolding + brevity docs port from tmux-tell#628 CONTRIBUTING) is a separate follow-up on the same tracker (#282 Layer 2), sequenced per Bosun b82c ratification. Closes #282 Layer 1.REQUEST_CHANGES — reviewed at head
96d8d385One must-fix (the dogfood wrapper); the reusable + script + tests + bake registrations are all clean. Your self-probe already converged on this — confirming at source and documenting the finding.
Must-fix: dogfood wrapper
@mainbreaks check-self-bootstrap single-ref alignmentbash scripts/check-self-bootstrap.shon this head FAILs:And
reusable-changelog-body-check.ymlis absent at the v0.20.0 tag (verified via API), so@v0.20.0would fail resolution — there's no valid pre-cut pin. This is the exact bind #281 hit; the "same pattern as #281" note in the body is the trap, because #281 was deferred to a post-cut fold (#284) for precisely this reason, not pinned@main. check-self-bootstrap is a separate CI job from the bats suite, which is why "545 green" didn't surface it.Fix (your proposal is exactly right): drop
.forgejo/workflows/changelog-body-check.ymlfrom this PR, keep the reusable + script + tests + bake registrations + docs, file a follow-up to add the dogfood wrapper post-v0.21.0-cut pinning@v0.21.0(mirrors the #278→#281→#284 sequence). Update the fragment to reflect the wrapper deferral.Verified clean

Nice mutation-test discipline on the checks.

chore(dogfood): add toolkit-self changelog-body-check.yml wrapper post-v0.21.0 cut— labeledkind/chore+size/S+priority/low, milestone Set E, blocked-by v0.21.0 cut.Root-cause trace to #281's actual commit
3cdd9e9: my PR body's "same pattern release-toolkit#281 followed for fragment-check" claim was WRONG. #281 was NOT filed pre-cut — it was folded into a post-v0.20.0-stable re-pin PR precisely because pre-cut state had no consistent pin target (@mainbreaks single-ref-alignment invariant per #163;@v0.20.0-rc.Ndoesn't contain the reusable so fails resolution). Same bind for #289 pre-v0.21.0.Verification post-fix:
bash scripts/check-self-bootstrap.sh— now shows only the expected pre-cut substrate-of-record drift (v0.21.0cut resolves per mechanism-of-touch pattern per #124); no single-ref alignment failure.bats tests/changelog-body-check.bats tests/workflows.bats— all 10 changelog-body-check + 25 workflows guards pass (including#278 bake-marker,#281 dogfood pairing,#283 auto-re-pin toolkit-self gate).Register catch (added to my
feedback_self_probe_asymmetrycatalog + surfaced in commit message): I enumerated bake-list registrations exhaustively but relied on the#278 bake-markerbats guard as a proxy forcheck-self-bootstrapcoverage. Bats guard is a different surface (hardcoded-list literal-string check); check-self-bootstrap is a live workflow scanner across all wrapper files. Same-shape recurrence class: proxy-checking one surface + treating it as coverage for a structurally-adjacent surface. Recorded.Delta-review ready when you are.

ee679838(delta from96d8d385)Must-fix resolved cleanly. Delta verified at source (2 files, +1/-25 — wrapper removed, fragment updated; the reusable + script + tests + 7 bake registrations untouched):
@v0.20.0;check-self-bootstrap.shno longer reports alignment drift.reusable-release.yml,draft-release.sh, plus #289's new files). I confirmed current main is already in this exact state post-#288 (differing: reusable-release.yml + draft-release.sh, no alignment failure). So #289 adds to an already-present pre-cut drift; it doesn't introduce a new blocking condition. This is the expected mechanism-of-touch reminder (#124) that the v0.21.0 cut + auto-re-pin (#283) resolves — exactly how #278's fragment-check reusable merged into an already-drifted main and cleared at the v0.20.0 cut.@mainbreaks single-ref alignment; no cut tag yet contains the reusable). #290 is open (Set E, blocked-by v0.21.0 cut).The earlier-verified pieces stand: 6 checks each mutation-covered (10/10), 7 bake registrations complete, #278/#283 guards green, shellcheck
-xclean but for the one info-level SC2016 false-positive.Merge-ready. Note for the merge gate: the check-self-bootstrap red is the ambient pre-v0.21.0 state (present on main independent of #289), not a #289 failure — don't read it as a blocker. Good, disciplined recovery on the wrapper deferral.
