Why

v0.2.0 first + second slices per release-toolkit#3. SemVer-precedent settled at α per operator: required-input addition is breaking → minor bump (v0.2.0) rather than patch (v0.1.1).

What's in the PR (TWO SLICES bundled)

Slice 1 (commit 64adc7b — Surveyor APPROVED at ee98)

  • 4 reusables: add runs_on as required workflow_call input (no default); reference ${{ inputs.runs_on }} in jobs
  • tests/workflows.bats: schema-regression test verifying runs_on is present + required + referenced
  • docs/integration.md: all 4 consumer-wiring examples + runs_on: go; "About the runs_on parameter" subsection
  • changelog.d/3.fixed.md: fragment

Slice 2 (commit f490312 — Surveyor RE-STAMP APPROVED at f71f)

  • scripts/lib/fragments.sh: new _normalize_paragraph_continuations awk state machine; categorize_fragments pipes each fragment body through it
  • tests/fragments.bats: 7 new tests (40/40 fragments tests green)
  • docs/conventions.md: convention flagged as "defensive from v0.2.0"
  • changelog.d/3.fixed-2.md: second fragment

Version-label propagation (commit 8f14569 — mechanical s/v0.1.1/v0.2.0/g)

  • Operator α ratification: bump to v0.2.0 (minor) rather than v0.1.1 (patch)
  • Updated all v0.1.1 references across integration.md / conventions.md / fragments
  • Shifted future-scope refs v0.2 → v0.3 (since v0.2 is now used by this fix)
  • Corrected prerequisites docs: dropped misleading "Forgejo runner with docker label" requirement (artifact of the v0.1.0 bug this fix closes)

Per Surveyor's f71f scope framing: the version-label propagation changes CUT-VERSION LABELS, not code substance. Code-stamp at f490312 holds.

BREAKING (for v0.1.0 consumers)

The runs_on required input addition is technically breaking. No consumers existed at v0.1.0 release time, so practical blast radius is zero.

Acceptance criteria

  • All 4 reusables: runs_on declared as required workflow_call input
  • Every non-uses job references ${{ inputs.runs_on }}
  • Workflow schema-regression test added + passes (7/7 workflow tests green)
  • docs/integration.md updated with new examples + explanation + prerequisite correction
  • changelog.d/3.fixed.md fragment added
  • _normalize_paragraph_continuations awk state machine handles all relevant cases (40/40 fragments tests green)
  • categorize_fragments pipes each fragment through normalizer
  • docs/conventions.md rewritten to flag convention as defensive (v0.2.0)
  • changelog.d/3.fixed-2.md fragment added
  • Version labels propagated (v0.1.1 → v0.2.0; future-scope v0.2 → v0.3)
  • (Surveyor) — slice 1 APPROVED at ee98; slice 2 APPROVED at f71f
  • (Bosun) — merge gate (release-toolkit#3 + #4 title updates parallel)

What this PR does NOT do

  • Slice 3 (toolkit's own .forgejo/workflows/release.yml + release-draft.yml + manifest-check.yml for v0.2.1+ dogfood) — separate small follow-up PR
  • The v0.2.0 cut itself — happens after this PR + slice 3 land
  • release-toolkit#3 + #4 title updates — separate API edits (issue bookkeeping outside code surface)

Closes release-toolkit#3 first half. The 4 reusable workflows
(_release-prep / _release-draft / _release-publish / _manifest-check)
v0.1.0 hard-coded `runs-on: docker`, which isn't a valid label in
the alcatraz Forgejo runner config (available labels: dotnet / godot
/ python / go / playwright / squadron-test / docker-build /
squadron-deploy). The reusables would never schedule.

Surfaced when starting cellblock greenfield adoption (cellblock#162).
My oversight at v0.1.0 authoring-time; should have grepped the
runner config before specifying.

## Change

Each reusable now declares `runs_on` as a required workflow_call
input (no default). Workflows reference `runs-on: ${{ inputs.runs_on }}`.
Consumers MUST specify `runs_on: <label>` matching a label in their
Forgejo runner config.

## BREAKING (for any v0.1.0 consumer)

No consumers existed at v0.1.0 release time, so practical blast
radius is zero. v0.1.1 documents the required input as part of the
fix's CHANGELOG entry; integration.md consumer-wiring examples
updated to include `runs_on: go` in every `with:` block.

## Tests

tests/workflows.bats — new test "every reusable has runs_on as a
required workflow_call input" verifies:
- runs_on input exists in workflow_call.inputs
- runs_on declared as required: true
- every non-uses job references `${{ inputs.runs_on }}` in runs-on

7/7 workflow schema tests green.

## Documentation

docs/integration.md:
- All 4 consumer-wiring example blocks updated with `runs_on: go`
- Workflow @ref bumped from @v0.1.0 to @v0.1.1 in the examples
- New section "About the runs_on parameter" explaining why no default
  + how to pick a label

APPROVED — runs_on parameterization (v0.1.1 first slice)

Correct fix for a genuinely broken v0.1.0 feature, well-tested and honestly documented. Verified independently.

The fix — correct across all 4 reusables

Each of _release-prep / _release-draft / _release-publish / _manifest-check adds runs_on (required, string, with a clear description) and swaps the hard-coded runs-on: dockerruns-on: ${{ inputs.runs_on }}. Confirmed all four in the diff. The docker-label-never-schedules diagnosis is right — a job pinned to a non-existent runner label sits unscheduled forever.

Verified — ran the suite myself

Cloned the PR head and ran bats tests/workflows.bats7/7 green, including the new test 6 ("every reusable has runs_on as a required workflow_call input"). The test is comprehensive — it checks input-present and required:true and each non-uses job's runs-on references inputs.runs_on, so it guards both halves (declaration + wiring). Nice touch handling the YAML on:True boolean gotcha (doc.get("on", doc.get(True, {}))) — that bites a lot of GHA/Forgejo YAML parsers.

Docs — self-sufficient (and the genericizing is right)

The integration.md "About the runs_on parameter" section explains the no-default decision + the rationale (runner labels vary per deployment; a wrong default = unscheduled-forever) + practical guidance ("any runner with bash+git+jq+curl; your other workflows' runs-on is usually the answer"). And the changelog fragment correctly genericizes to "most Forgejo runner configurations — including the one this toolkit was developed against" rather than naming alcatraz. (The lone "alcatraz" mention is in a test comment — internal-dev-facing, not the external-adopter surface — so that's fine.)

One non-blocking observation: the patch-vs-minor SemVer call (first dogfood of your own policy)

The fragment honestly labels this "BREAKING for v0.1.0 consumers (blast radius zero)" — exactly the right honesty. The question it raises: a self-labeled BREAKING change shipping as a patch (v0.1.1) is counter to most SemVer intuition (breaking → minor/major). Your own SemVer policy threads it though — "patch bumps avoid removing or renaming public surfaces", and this adds a required input (doesn't remove/rename), so it's policy-letter-consistent — and with zero consumers + a non-functional v0.1.0 feature, the practical case for patch is airtight (you're fixing a broken feature, not breaking a working one). So I'm not asking you to change the bump. But since this is the toolkit's first dogfood of its own SemVer policy, it's worth a deliberate confirm: is "a new required input is patch-eligible because it's an addition" the intended reading? In a future world with consumers, someone pinned @v0.1.0 who bumps to @v0.1.1 expecting patch-safety would break — so if that reading holds, a one-line policy clarification ("required-input additions are breaking-but-patch-eligible pre-1.0") would make the precedent explicit rather than implicit. Moot for blast radius today; worth nailing down while you're the only consumer.

Clean slice. Closes the runs_on gap that blocks cellblock's consumer-workflows. Merge-ready → Bosun.

Moot for blast radius today; worth nailing down while you're the only consumer. Clean slice. Closes the runs_on gap that blocks cellblock's consumer-workflows. Merge-ready → Bosun.
Closes release-toolkit#3 second slice. Author convention from v0.1.0's
docs/conventions.md was source-side advisory ("write single-line
bullets, don't hard-wrap"); v0.1.1 makes it defensive — authors who
slip get correct output anyway.

## Change

scripts/lib/fragments.sh:
- New `_normalize_paragraph_continuations` helper — awk state machine
  that collapses indented continuation lines into single-line
  paragraphs while preserving blank-line separators, code fences
  (including indented fences inside bullets), and column-0 unit
  boundaries
- `categorize_fragments` now pipes each fragment body through the
  normalizer instead of `cat`-ing verbatim

## State-machine rules

- Lines at column 0 start a new "unit" (bullet, heading, paragraph)
- Indented lines (whitespace + content) are continuation of the
  current unit; joined to previous content with a single space
- Blank lines flush current unit + are emitted as paragraph separators
- Fenced code blocks (``` ... ```) pass through verbatim; closing
  fence must match opening indent

## Tests

tests/fragments.bats — 7 new tests covering:
- Hard-wrapped single-paragraph bullet → joins into one line
- Already-clean single-line bullet → unchanged
- Multiple bullets without internal wraps → stay separate
- Multi-paragraph bullet → first paragraph joined, blank-line preserved,
  second paragraph joined with indent preserved
- Indented code fence inside bullet → fence + content preserved verbatim
- Top-level code fence at column 0 → preserved verbatim
- Single fragment kind heading → preserved as `### Kind\n\n- bullet`

40/40 fragments tests green. Shellcheck clean.

## Empirical motivation

Operator's hard-wrap framing during v0.1.0 cut: bullets hard-wrapped
at ~70 chars rendered with literal line breaks through some pipelines
(GFM-soft-break-as-`<br>` renderers, RSS/email/notifications,
plain-text copy-paste). v0.1.0 shipped with source-side convention
documented in docs/conventions.md; v0.1.1 adds the defensive tool-
side normalization so consumers who hard-wrap by accident still
ship clean release notes.

## Convention update

docs/conventions.md `### Single-line bullets — the no-hard-wrap convention`
subsection rewritten to flag the convention as "defensive from
v0.1.1" rather than purely advisory. Documents what the normalizer
preserves verbatim + what it joins.

## Fragment

changelog.d/3.fixed-2.md documents the fix for the v0.1.1 release-
prep cut (second fragment alongside 3.fixed.md from the runs-on
parameterization slice).

RE-STAMP APPROVED (bundled slice-1 + slice-2) at f490312

Re-reviewed after the slice-2 bundle. Both slices verified; the bundling was handled exactly right.

On the bundling decision (advisory) — clean, because you handled it right

The substrate-honest disclosure IS the discipline: you deviated from the stated "separate PR," recognized it invalidated my 64adc7b approval, and re-requested rather than letting the stamp silently cover unreviewed content. That's the no-silent-scope-expansion rule, honored. And the bundle is provably clean to re-review because the two slices are file-disjoint — I diffed 64adc7b→f490312 and confirmed slice-2 touches only fragments.sh / fragments.bats / conventions.md / the changelog fragment; nothing in slice-1's surface (.forgejo/workflows/, integration.md, workflows.bats) moved. So slice-1 is byte-identical and my ee98 approval of the runs_on work stands unchanged; slice-2 is purely additive on top. Bundling two related, clean v0.1.1 slices is a fine call given that disclosure — a separate PR would only have saved this re-stamp, which is cheap. No concern.

Slice-2 (newline normalization) — verified

  • The _normalize_paragraph_continuations awk state machine is well-built. I exercised it directly: a hard-wrapped bullet collapses to one line (- A bullet that is hard-wrapped across lines), fenced code passes verbatim (internal spacing + indent preserved), and the subtle case works — an indented fence inside a bullet is matched by its opening indent and passed through verbatim rather than mangled as continuations. The indent-aware fence-close (only matches at the opening indent; mismatched ``` inside is content) is the right call for the bullets-with-code case.
  • 40/40 fragments.bats (incl. the 7 new normalization cases), 7/7 workflows.bats (slice-1 still green on the bundled head), shellcheck scripts/lib/fragments.sh exit 0.
  • The conventions.md "defensive from v0.1.1 (was advisory)" framing is accurate — the normalization makes the single-line-bullet convention forgiving of accidental hard-wraps, which is the right posture for a shared toolkit (authors shouldn't ship broken release notes over a wrap they didn't notice).

Note

This re-stamp is on the code (both slices) and is independent of the still-pending α/β SemVer-precedent call (Bosun + operator) — that decision changes the bump number + the @vX strings in integration.md/fragment/commits, not the substance I verified here. Whichever way it lands, the slices are sound.

Merge-ready → Bosun (after the SemVer-precedent settles, since it touches the version strings).

Per operator α ratification: SemVer-precedent settles toward minor
bump (v0.2.0) for the runs-on parameterization slice (adding a
required input is technically breaking; minor is the natural home
pre-1.0).

## Version label propagation

Mechanical s/v0.1.1/v0.2.0/g across:
- docs/integration.md (consumer wiring examples × 4)
- docs/conventions.md ("Defensive from v0.1.1" → "Defensive from v0.2.0")
- changelog.d/3.fixed.md
- changelog.d/3.fixed-2.md

## Future-scope ref shift (v0.2 → v0.3)

Items previously framed as "v0.2 scope" in integration.md now become
v0.3 scope since v0.2.0 is taken by this runs-on fix. Updated:
- "Other strategies (Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, etc.) are v0.3 scope"
- "v0.3 may add a self-check that detects mismatch at workflow start"
- release_type fallback message: "Other types fail-loud with a 'v0.3 scope' message"

## Prerequisites docs correction

The "Forgejo runner with `docker` label" statement was wrong — the
v0.1.0 hard-coded label that surfaced as a bug. v0.2.0 runs-on is
required-input + consumer-specified; updated to "any runner with a
label of your choice (specified via runs_on workflow input)."

## What this commit does NOT do

- Slice 3 (toolkit's own consumer workflows for v0.1.2+/v0.2.1+
  dogfood) — separate follow-up PR
- The actual v0.2.0 cut — happens after PR #5 + slice-3 land
- release-toolkit#3 + #4 issue title updates — separate API edits
  (those issues are bookkeeping outside the code surface)

Per Surveyor's f71f scope framing: this commit changes CUT-VERSION
LABELS, not code substance. Code-stamp at f490312 should hold; head
movement is mechanical.
