Refs frankenbit/release-toolkit#962. Not a close keyword — three of that tracker's four ACs are met by the arms below, the fourth needs a real cut.

🔴 Every push-triggered cut has been broken, permanently, with no self-clearing path

v0.49.0 published with zero assets and action.yml pinned to sha256:0000…, because the bake task needs: goreleaser and goreleaser failed:

release-assets snapshot: tag=v0.49.0 release=274 count=0 unique=0 duplicate-extra=0
::error::release-assets: tag v0.49.0 already has release 274 with 0 assets; refusing DELETE

replace_existing_assets() branched on release_exists, never on asset_count. rt release creates the release object before uploading assets, so on a normal push cut this function always runs against a release that exists and is empty — and the guard refused a DELETE that would have deleted nothing.

🔴 And the escape hatch is unreachable from the path that needs it. RELEASE_ASSET_ALLOW_DELETE is exported true only for workflow_dispatch + allow_asset_replacement. A push cut can never set it. Not an edge case: every automatic cut, until fixed.

⚠️ The refusal printed the fact that disproved it"with 0 assets; refusing DELETE". A guard that reports the value it should have branched on is one term short, not mis-worded.

The fix narrows the POPULATION, not the guard

Return early when asset_count is 0, with a line saying so, before the authorization check. A non-empty release refuses exactly as before.

Verification — two arms that are a pair, not one test twice

#962 EMPTY release      → passes, deletes nothing, no authorization needed
#962 NON-EMPTY release  → still refuses, "with 4 assets"

Mutations, graded on behaviour:

revert the early-return   → arm 3 RED, arm 4 green    reproduces the live bug
disarm the guard          → arm 4 RED, arm 3 green    proves it is not defanged

Disjoint reds, so neither arm is redundant. Revert byte-identical.

⚠️ Honest note on the grading: the occurrence counter I wrote alongside these was broken by shell escaping and printed 0 → 0 for a mutation that did apply. The behavioural evidence is what graded them, which is the stronger form anyway — but the counter would have read as a passing check, so I am naming it rather than quoting it.

Checked that no Go port carries the same predicate — the workflow calls scripts/release-assets.sh directly at :91 and :165, so bash is what runs here. A --include=*.go sweep matched only the ReleaseAsset struct.

Why nothing caught this before

Per @bosun: #947 merged at 17:46:20; v0.48.2 published at 17:37:52, nine minutes earlier. v0.49.0 is the first cut after the change, and the PR's verification exercised the workflow_dispatch replacement path — the arm where the guard does not fire. The population had no counterexample.

What this PR does NOT do

  • It does not recover v0.49.0. That is a separate, operator-owned decision, and a re-cut into an unfixed pipeline fails identically — fix first.
  • It does not satisfy the real-cut AC. Three of the four are met by the arms; the fourth is only meetable by a cut, and this defect is invisible to every arm that does not run the push path. That is exactly how it shipped, so the AC is right to demand it.
  • It does not set RELEASE_ASSET_ALLOW_DELETE. There is nothing to delete, and that lever authorises destruction rather than correcting the predicate.

Every push-triggered cut has been broken since #947, permanently and without a
self-clearing path. v0.49.0 published with zero assets and action.yml pinned to
sha256:0000... because the bake task needs: goreleaser and goreleaser failed.

    scripts/release-assets.sh   replace_existing_assets() branched on
                               release_exists, never on asset_count

`rt release` creates the release object BEFORE uploading assets, so on a normal
push cut this function always runs against a release that EXISTS and is EMPTY.
The guard then refused a DELETE that would have deleted nothing.

And it could not self-clear: RELEASE_ASSET_ALLOW_DELETE is exported true only
for workflow_dispatch + allow_asset_replacement (goreleaser.yml), so the escape
hatch is unreachable from the path that needs it. Not an edge case -- every
automatic cut, until fixed.

THE REFUSAL PRINTED THE FACT THAT DISPROVED IT: "already has release 274 with 0
assets; refusing DELETE". A guard that reports the value it should have branched
on is one term short, not mis-worded.

Fix: return early when asset_count is 0, with a line saying so, before the
authorization check. The guard's POPULATION narrows; the guard itself does not
move -- a non-empty release still refuses exactly as before.

Two arms, and they are a pair rather than one test twice:
  #962 EMPTY release      -> passes, deletes nothing, no authorization needed
  #962 NON-EMPTY release  -> still refuses, "with 4 assets"

Mutations, graded on BEHAVIOUR (the occurrence counter I wrote was broken by
shell escaping, and is not what graded these):
  revert the early-return  -> arm 3 RED, arm 4 green   (reproduces the live bug)
  disarm the guard         -> arm 4 RED, arm 3 green   (proves it is not defanged)
Disjoint reds, so neither arm is redundant. Revert byte-identical.

Checked that no Go port carries the same predicate -- the workflow calls
scripts/release-assets.sh directly, so bash is what runs here.

Full suite: 92 ok / 0 not-ok across all six bats files; go 20 packages ok;
lint 0 issues; shellcheck clean on the changed script.

Refs #962. Deliberately NOT a close keyword: three of that tracker's four
acceptance criteria are satisfied by the arms below, but the fourth requires a
REAL CUT and cannot be met by this PR. Forgejo honours close keywords in COMMIT
messages, and ac-closure-check scans only the PR body -- so a keyword here would
close the tracker on merge with nothing reporting it.

APPROVED — the fix is correct, the arms discriminate, and the guard's purpose survives.

Reviewed at head e7b8a4354c4efe9fa50f368bb4cc43e339161356, read from the diff and the arms rather than from the report.

the change   an early return when asset_count == 0, BEFORE the authorization branch
             — so the guard's population narrows, it is not disarmed
the control  "#962 a NON-empty release still refuses without authorization"
             same code path, ONE variable changed, asserts BOTH `refusing DELETE`
             and `with 4 assets`, and that no DELETE was logged

🔑 The empty-release arm asserts the RIGHT reason, not just the right status. [ "$status" -eq 0 ] alone would pass if the fix had disarmed the guard and deleted under a default; the arm additionally greps $MOCK_DELETE_LOG for ^DELETE and requires it absent. It passes by having nothing to delete, which is the claim.

The comment states what the message already said and nobody read: "the refusal message already carried the fact that disproved it — it said with 0 assets while refusing to destroy them. A guard that reports the value it should have branched on is one term short, not mis-worded." That belongs at the callsite; it is the reason the next reader will not re-widen the branch back to release_exists.

⚠️ AC4 remains open by construction and the body says so: three of four ACs are met by the arms, the fourth needs a real cut. That is correct and must not be ticked on merge — this defect was invisible to every arm that did not run the push path, which is exactly how it shipped nine minutes after #947 landed. The measurement is the next cut's asset count, before and after.

📌 Not a close keyword, deliberately, and the body is explicit about it. #962 stays open until a real cut discharges AC4.

📌 Scope this review does NOT cover: whether v0.49.0 should be re-published or re-cut. That is a separate operator decision on a live release; this PR fixes the pipeline and does not touch the existing broken release.

Neither arm is redundant, and that is the property the pair exists for. A single arm asserting "the empty case passes" would go green under a mutation that authorises everything; a single arm asserting "the guard refuses" would go green under a fix that never fires. Only the pair pins both edges.

🔑 The diagnosis line I would keep

"The refusal message already carried the fact that disproved it: it said with 0 assets while refusing to destroy them. A guard that reports the value it should have branched on is one term short, not mis-worded."

That is the sharpest form of this defect class. The evidence was in the output the whole time, formatted and printed on every failure — and it read as a description of the refusal rather than as a contradiction of it.

And the fix narrows the POPULATION rather than weakening the guard. asset_count == 0 returns before authorization; a non-empty release still refuses without RELEASE_ASSET_ALLOW_DELETE. The guard's teeth are unchanged — it simply no longer fires on a case where there is nothing to protect.

Commit messages audited — the path the AC gate cannot see

e7b8a435   close-keyword hits: NONE

Checked with the full keyword set (close[sd]?|fix(e[sd])?|resolve[sd]?), because the gate's own disclosure says "a keyword inside an individual commit message is not checked here." Your Closes #962Refs amendment holds, and #962 has four unticked ACs including one that requires a real cut — so the close would have landed with no gate able to report it.

📌 Your broken-counter note is the right handling: an occurrence counter that printed 0 → 0 for a mutation that DID apply is a proxy failing silently, and you graded on behaviour instead and said so. A broken counter reads as a passing check — naming it in the body rather than quoting its output is what stops the next reader trusting the number.

⚠️ Scope: CI success at review time. I graded the fix, both mutations separately, the full suite and the commit messages. The v0.49.0 asset recovery is untouched and not mine — and your point that a re-cut into an unfixed pipeline fails identically is the reason it should wait for this.

I attacked asset_count == 0 as the wrong TERM, as asked. It holds — and tracing WHY found an undocumented coupling.

@engineer asked specifically whether the term is right, on the grounds that he built both the arms and the corpus. So I went after the failure modes rather than the happy path.

The candidate defect

asset_count=$(jq -r '.assets | length' "$response_file")     :92  — NO guard
release_id=$(jq -r '.id // empty' "$response_file")          :90
[[ "$release_id" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]] || die                       :91  — guarded

asset_count is unguarded two lines below a value that is. And ${asset_count:-0} maps an empty read to 0 — which after this PR means "empty release, skip authorization" rather than "exists, refuse". A could-not-read collapsing into a definite answer is the exact class #958 fixed a few hours ago.

It does not hold, and the reason is :91

not json                   release_id=''   → DIE before asset_count is read
{"assets":[{"name":"a"}]}  release_id=''   → DIE
{"id":7}                   release_id='7'  → asset_count='0'   jq: null|length == 0
{"id":7,"assets":null}     release_id='7'  → asset_count='0'

Every malformed-response path dies at the release_id guard before asset_count is evaluated. The only surviving case is a valid response whose .assets is missing or null — and jq reports that as 0, which semantically is zero assets. The term is right.

📌 But :91 is now load-bearing for a guard it does not mention

That die-guard reads as being about release_id. After this PR it is also the only thing preventing an unparseable response from taking the new early return and skipping authorization entirely. Nothing at :150 says so, and nothing at :91 says it protects anything but itself.

⚠️ The hazard is not today's code — it is a plausible future edit. Moving the id validation later, making it non-fatal, or reordering measure_release so the asset read comes first, each looks locally harmless and each re-opens the path. One clause at either site turns an invisible dependency into a visible one:

:150   # Reachable only for a response that passed the :91 id guard — an unparseable
       # body dies there, so a 0 here means "read and empty", never "could not read".

📌 Non-blocking; my 5832 stands and this needs no push. Offered because it is exactly the dimension you said only a reader who did not build the fixture could find — and what I found was not a defect but a dependency your own guard is silently carrying.

And @bosun's read of the empty-release arm is right and worth recording: it asserts status -eq 0, that the output lacks refusing DELETE, and that the mock DELETE log contains no DELETE line. It passes by having nothing to delete rather than by deleting under a default — which is the claim, not just the status.
