Code Review
This pull request introduces a versioning and release channel mechanism for the standards/ directory, adding scripts to cut immutable releases and manage moving channel tags, along with corresponding documentation and unit tests. The review feedback highlights a critical improvement in the semver comparison logic to avoid subshell overhead from here-strings and prevent potential runtime crashes with leading zeros by avoiding arithmetic expansion. Additionally, it is recommended to assert exact non-zero exit codes in the BATS tests to prevent false positives.

In `@scripts/cut-standards-release.sh`:
- Line 102: Update the tag enumeration in the versions/resolve flow around the
for-each-ref command to use SR_REPO as the source when it overrides the checkout
repository, preferably by querying the GitHub API; alternatively reject
mismatched SR_REPO values before reading or writing tags. Keep local enumeration
only when SR_REPO matches the checkout repository, ensuring all reported tags
correspond to the repository being modified.
In `@scripts/lib/standards-release.sh`:
- Line 36: Update sr_valid_version, sr_major, and sr_is_release_suffix to reject
SemVer components with leading zeroes, then revise sr_semver_gt to compare
canonical decimal components by length and lexical order rather than Bash
arithmetic; preserve valid numeric SemVer ordering and version-resolution
behavior.
In `@tests/standards_release.bats`:
- Around line 3-4: Update scripts/seed-repo-template.sh to resolve the standards
source before seeding: use the default standards/v1-stable reference when
STANDARDS_REF is unset, honor an explicit STANDARDS_REF, and preserve explicit
STANDARDS_DIR behavior without Git resolution. Then extend the relevant Bats
coverage for all three cases, reusing the existing seed-test conventions.

Dismissed as stale by the maintainer, per the documented recovery in #1115.
This CHANGES_REQUESTED was submitted by coderabbitai[bot] on sha aca48dc at 2026-09-08T03:30:38Z. The current head is 8e5bc8d (2026-09-10T12:12:03Z) — two days and several commits newer. All 13 review threads on this PR are resolved and statusCheckRollup is SUCCESS.
GitHub's dismiss_stale_reviews_on_push only dismisses stale approvals, not CHANGES_REQUESTED, and this repo does not yet carry dismiss-stale-bot-reviews.yml (that gap is #1115; the port is PR #1116). Until #1116 lands, manual dismissal is the only recovery path in this repo.
Nothing is being waived here: zero unresolved threads, green CI. If coderabbitai has a finding against the current head it is welcome to re-review.

Reviewed commit: 8e5bc8db83ecf83556de4b3e76100dd522fe5362
Review mode: triage-approved (single reviewer)
Summary
Adds versioned release channels for the standards artifact: an immutable standards/vX.Y.Z release form plus a moving standards/v-stable channel, cut by a new idempotent, clobber-refusing script (scripts/cut-standards-release.sh) whose decision logic lives in a pure, fully bats-tested core (scripts/lib/standards-release.sh). Includes a hardened test workflow, documentation (standards/standards-versioning.md), and a STANDARDS_REF default (standards/v1-stable) in seed-repo-template.sh. Triage cleared this as low-risk; this confirmation review classifies it MEDIUM (977 added lines of new shell logic) but finds all approval gates satisfied.
Linked issue analysis
Closes #1091 (cut a standards release channel — consumers pin standards/v1-stable but it has never existed). AC coverage: (1) channel existence — the cut mechanism and docs land here; the tag itself is a repo mutation performed post-merge by an operator with the release-channel-tags bypass, explicitly documented in standards-versioning.md. (2) Advancement policy documented (immutable vX.Y.Z, moving v-stable, human decides when / mechanism decides how, ruleset protection). (3) Cutting is scripted and idempotent: sr_cut_decision returns CREATE/NOOP/REFUSE, mirroring cut-release.sh's refusal to overwrite — bats-covered. (4) N-1 resolvable via the 'resolve' command and sr_current_and_previous, with the single-version starting state handled as documented degradation, not consumer special-casing. (5) Consumer re-pin proof is deferred to the post-tag-cut step and combsmith/.github-private#1707 (which this unblocks) — consistent with the issue's note that automation beyond the cut should not be built here. (6) No behavior change for non-opted-in paths: seed-repo-template.sh still reads STANDARDS_DIR; STANDARDS_REF is additive with a v1-stable default, regression-tested.
Findings
No blocking findings.
- Secret scan (MCP): run_secret_scanning tool unavailable in this run — noted per protocol; gitleaks CI check is green and the only credential-like string in the diff is an explicitly labeled dummy token for stubbed tests.
- Workflow security (standards-release-tests.yml): permissions contents:read only, actions/checkout pinned to 3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1 — verified via the GitHub API to be exactly v7.0.1; persist-credentials:false, concurrency group, 10-min timeout. Compliant with org CI standards.
- Error-path correctness: _gh_tag_commit distinguishes HTTP 404 (tag absent) from transient/5xx errors (abort, never mis-route onto CREATE) — bats-covered. Prior bot findings on this and on octal/leading-zero version parsing were addressed; all 13 review threads are resolved.
- Race guard: before moving the channel, the script re-enumerates published releases and skips the move if a newer release exists on the same major line — bats-covered. Minor residual: _gh_release_versions returns an empty list on transient API error, which in a concurrent-cut window could skip that guard; the immutable-tag REFUSE path still prevents clobbering, and cuts are deliberate operator actions, so this is a non-blocking observation.
- seed-repo-template.sh: sourcing of gitignore-baseline.sh moved from top-level into the .gitignore branch — the only call site (gib_extract_baseline_block) lives there, so no behavior change; regression bats tests confirm workflow emission is unaffected.
CI status
All required checks green at 8e5bc8d: ShellCheck, Lint, three 'Lint and bats' jobs (including the new Standards-release Tests workflow), CodeQL, SonarCloud quality gate, Secret scan (gitleaks), AgentShield, Agent Security Scan, duplicate-decl-gate, AGENTS.md Self-Check, dependency-audit (ecosystem-specific jobs skipped as not applicable). No failures.
