Fixes #925.

The "Deploy-site" adoption section in `docs/reusable-workflows.md`
assumed Blog's deploy carries three scripts (`deploy/make-release.sh`,
`deploy/prune-releases.sh`, `checks/check-live-urls.sh`) folding 1:1
into the hub's three-mode `deploy` hook invocation
(`build`/`prune`/`verify`). Blog's actual repo has no
`deploy/prune-releases.sh`, retention is the tail of `make-release.sh`
itself.

This works through the build/prune/verify split against Blog's real
`deploy/make-release.sh` and `checks/check-live-urls.sh`, as the
reference adoption the issue asked for:

- Corrects the script inventory (two scripts, not three).
- Clarifies where the hub-owned upload/flip sequence ends and the hook's
own `build` mode begins, since `make-release.sh`'s own swap-and-prune
tail runs entirely against the ephemeral `bundle-path` scratch tree the
hook is passed, never the live host.
- Explains why `make-release.sh`'s internal hard-link-against-previous
check is inert in CI (the scratch tree is empty every run, so it never
has a previous release to compare against), and that the property that
actually matters for the fleet's retention floor is the hub-owned remote
`--link-dest`, which nothing currently asserts a floor on.
- Explains why `prune` mode is a no-op for Blog specifically: its deploy
credential is a forced `rsync` command confined write-only, so it can't
observe or delete the remote destination, and retention there is owned
by a host-side timer instead (already recorded in Blog's own
`OPERATIONS.md`), a pattern `deploy-site-task.yml`'s own code comments
already anticipate.
- Restores (corrected) the "why a hook, not a path convention" rationale
the original prose made, since dropping the false three-script claim
shouldn't drop that reasoning too.

Along the way this surfaced a real, separate gap: `verify` mode has no
secret-forwarding path for a repo that gates a non-production
environment behind a token, the way Blog's `checks/check-live-urls.sh`
needs `PANGOLIN_ACCESS_TOKEN_ID`/`PANGOLIN_ACCESS_TOKEN` for its staging
auth gate. `deploy-site-task.yml` declares no such secret today. That's
tracked as a new open checklist item rather than solved here, since the
shape (a named pair vs. a generic passthrough) is its own design
decision.

No code changes, `docs/reusable-workflows.md` only. Verified locally:
`prose_lint.py --diff HEAD` clean, `repo_gate.py --check eol` clean,
`markdownlint-cli2` clean.

Packages the recurring feature-to-develop-to-main drive, and the
merge-plus-release step (with a hub-only Skills refresh), as two new
fleet Skills.

- `drive-pr`: drives a PR's review loop from feature into develop and,
when asked, on to a mergeable develop -> main promotion PR, applying
pr-review-conduct's finding disposition throughout, looping a
promotion-PR finding back through its own feature -> develop fix cycle.
Asks once how far to drive when the request does not say.
- `merge-and-release`: merges a ready promotion PR and, when asked,
dispatches the release, refreshing this machine's installed Skills first
when the repo is this hub. Asks once how far to go when the request does
not say.

Both skills point to pr-review-conduct, operational-vs-release-workflow,
repo-worktree, and skill-lifecycle for their mechanics rather than
restating them.

…932)

Fixes #926.

GitHub added the `pull_request` ruleset parameter
`require_extra_approval_for_unattributed_changes` and enabled it by
default on every new and existing ruleset (it requires one more approval
than the configured threshold when Copilot opens a PR under its own app
identity rather than attributed to a person). It was absent from the
hub's committed payloads, so `configure.sh check` flagged every repo
carrying it, including the hub's own `develop`/`main` rulesets, as
drift, even though nothing was ever actually misconfigured.

Confirmed live `true` on both of the hub's own rulesets and on Blog's
before choosing the value, so this commits what GitHub already applies
fleet-wide rather than picking a new default. It also has no live
behavioral effect today, since it only matters once
`required_approving_review_count` is above zero, which is 0 on every
ruleset checked so far.

One correction to the issue's ask:
`repo-config/operational/develop.json` carries no `pull_request` rule at
all (operational repos take direct signed pushes to `develop`, no PR
gate), so there's no `pull_request` parameters object there to add the
key to. Only `develop.json` and `main.json` changed.

Verified: `repo-config/configure.sh check ptr727/ProjectTemplate
release` now passes clean (previously would flag `develop`/`main` rule
`pull_request` parameters as mismatched, matching the issue's own repro
against Blog).

Adds a cluster to TODO.md tracking #931: whether Blog's \`-text\` plus
explicit named \`eol=lf\` pins plus a rotted-pin gate is an accepted
alternative to the fleet's \`text=auto eol=lf\` default.

Reflects the issue's own follow-up comment, which changes the original
post's position: option 3 (ask Blog to adopt \`text=auto eol=lf\`) is
now ruled out, since it would defeat \`eol-coverage\` (the check #634
built for exactly this failure mode) for the one repo whose bug caused
that check to exist. The comment now leans toward option 1 (document the
alternative in \`line-endings.md\`) over option 2 (a plain registry
driftNote), and raises a secondary open question about whether
\`eol-coverage\` runs in Blog's own CI.

No decision made here, this is the pointer per TODO.md's own convention,
the actual call is explicitly the maintainer's per the issue.

Fixes #924.

`validate-task.yml`'s Lint Markdown step hardcoded `globs: '**/*.md'`
with no `workflow_call` input to narrow or exclude paths, and
`.markdownlint-cli2.jsonc` is declared `"fidelity": "verbatim", "whole":
true` in `spec/files.json`, so a downstream repo has no way to edit it
locally either. Blog vendors the PaperMod theme under `themes/PaperMod/`
and carries an imported WordPress content archive under `content/**`,
both git-tracked, so adopting the hub's `validate-task.yml` as
documented would start linting several hundred posts and an entire
vendored theme tree Blog does not author and cannot keep clean, breaking
the PR gate rather than improving it.

## The fix

An optional `markdown-exclude-globs` input, appended after `**/*.md` in
the Lint Markdown step's own `globs:` block, so a caller only ever
narrows the default, never restates or replaces it:

```yaml
    with:
      markdown-exclude-globs: |
        !content/**
        !themes/*/**
```

Empty by default. Verified this doesn't error against the action's own
source (`DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli2-action`'s `dist/index.mjs` at the
pinned SHA): `getInput("globs").split(separator).filter(String)`, so the
blank line an empty input leaves behind is dropped, not passed to the
CLI as an empty glob. Confirmed with a local test fixture too: without
the exclude globs, `content/**` and `themes/**` files are linted (and
fail); with them, only the caller's own files are.

`docs/reusable-workflows.md`'s "Adopting the Gates" section documents
the new input with Blog's own case as the example.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9e27e

This PR updates reusable deployment workflow guidance and automation procedures, but authentication remains ambiguous across caller and called jobs, which can cause deployment credential failures or overrides, while merge and release actions are not bound to confirmation of the exact PR state. These bounded but material readiness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Automate skill publishing via CI/codegen only
  • ➕ Eliminates manual duplication across .agents/, .claude-plugin/, and .github/skills
  • ➕ Reduces risk of drift between canonical and published Skill copies
  • ➖ Requires a generation step in CI/release flow and a policy for committing outputs
  • ➖ Makes local-only edits harder to validate without running the generator
2. Make markdown exclusions a structured list input
  • ➕ Avoids newline parsing quirks and reduces risk of accidental non-negated glob expansion
  • ➕ Easier to validate (e.g., ensure all entries are negated)
  • ➖ GitHub workflow_call inputs don’t support native array types; would require JSON parsing logic
  • ➖ More complexity than the current pass-through string approach

Recommendation: The PR’s approach is sound for the current ecosystem constraints: shipping Skills as markdown content in the expected locations and adding a simple optional input to compose markdownlint globs keeps adoption easy for downstream repos. If drift between Skill source and published copies becomes a recurring issue, consider adding/strengthening an automated regeneration check in CI (or a single generator command) to enforce synchronization.

🔵 Needs a closer look

It updates fleet-wide reusable workflow behavior and published skill distributions in a promotion-to-main PR, which warrants final human confirmation on CI/runtime behavior.

Pull request overview

Promotes develop to main, incorporating recently landed fleet-hub improvements: a configurable Markdown lint exclusion mechanism for downstream repos that vendor/import content, an updated ruleset payload to match newer GitHub ruleset parameters, and new “drive-pr” / “merge-and-release” skills distributed across the supported skill surfaces.

Changes:

  • Add an optional markdown-exclude-globs workflow_call input to validate-task.yml and document its intended usage for downstream repos with vendored/imported Markdown.
  • Extend repo-config/{develop,main}.json ruleset payloads to include require_extra_approval_for_unattributed_changes.
  • Add and distribute new drive-pr and merge-and-release Skills across .agents/skills, .github/skills, and the Claude plugin bundle.

checkout containing uncommitted state rather than reporting and preserving that state.

+   `main` to the fetched tip regardless of what it pointed to before. `skills_install.py` stamps
+   and installs from whatever this checkout's HEAD already is, so a plain `git checkout main`
+   would leave a local `main` that already existed pointing at its old, pre-fetch commit, and

2. Refresh overwrites local main ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
The hub refresh uses git checkout -B main origin/main, which forcibly moves an existing local
main ref and can orphan unpushed local commits without checking that the update is fast-forward.
This violates the repository's no-discard safety contract and can lose work during an otherwise
routine release.

Evidence
The changed procedure explicitly says to force local main to the fetched remote tip. The fleet's
cleanup contract instead requires a clean base clone, fast-forward-only updates, and stopping on
non-fast-forward state, while the commit convention forbids commands that discard work absent
explicit developer instruction.

## Issue description
The release procedure force-resets the local `main` branch with `git checkout -B main origin/main`, potentially discarding unpushed commits. Replace this with a clean-checkout and fast-forward-only flow, stopping if local `main` diverges or is unavailable because another worktree owns it.

## Issue Context
The repository's worktree and commit-safety rules prohibit silently reconciling non-fast-forward state or using work-discarding operations as task convenience. Keep all generated skill copies synchronized after editing the source skill.

#933)

Fixes a real gap from driving PR #923 through its own review loop: the
feature branch that PR's own task landed on
(task/drive-pr-merge-release-skills) was left dangling on origin after
merge, because merge-and-release's 'never --delete-branch' rule (correct
for a promotion PR, whose head is develop) got applied to what was
actually an ordinary feature-branch merge.

- drive-pr's feature -> develop merge never passes --delete-branch (that
flag needs to switch the current worktree to the base branch to delete
the feature branch, which fails when develop is already checked out
elsewhere, the ordinary case in this layout). It merges with a plain `gh
pr merge --squash`, then deletes the remote branch explicitly, `git push
origin --delete <branch>`, as part of cleanup from the base clone.
- merge-and-release's procedure is reordered to the requested sequence:
merge, dispatch and correlate the release run, refresh hub Skills, then
cleanup last.
- merge-and-release's cleanup step now has two required parts: the
promotion PR's own worktree (never deletes develop), and a defensive
sweep for any already-merged feature-branch worktree or branch
drive-pr's own cleanup should have removed but might not have (an
interrupted loop, a fix landed by hand, a maintainer merge in the UI),
verified via GitHub's own PR state (mergedAt, head SHA) rather than git
merge-base --is-ancestor, which never proves a squash merge finished,
then removed with git branch -D under the confirmed post-squash
exception.

…#937)

Found via a qodo review finding on the develop -> main promotion PR
(#936), confirmed against the actual procedure.

`merge-and-release/SKILL.md` step 5 told an agent to run \`git fetch
origin main\` then \`git checkout -B main origin/main\` to refresh the
hub checkout's local main after a promotion merges. \`-B\`
unconditionally force-resets the branch to the fetched tip, discarding
any unpushed local commits or a dirty tree, and doesn't notice main
checked out in another worktree, violating the fleet's own Repository
Boundaries and Write Safety rule (no reconciling non-fast-forward state,
no work-discarding operations as task convenience).

## The fix

\`git switch main\` (or \`git switch -c main origin/main\` the first
time this checkout has no local \`main\` at all), then \`git merge
--ff-only origin/main\`. Both refuse rather than discard: \`switch\` on
a dirty tree or a \`main\` owned by another worktree, \`merge
--ff-only\` on anything but a clean fast-forward. Same outcome on the
ordinary path (a hub checkout whose local main is stale or absent), a
stop-and-report instead of silent data loss on the unusual one.

Edited the source (\`.agents/skills/merge-and-release/SKILL.md\`) and
regenerated both derived trees with \`scripts/build_dist.py\`, verified
with \`--check\` and \`scripts/tests/test_build_dist.py\`.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved branch refresh safety by preventing local changes from being
discarded.
- Refresh operations now stop and report when worktrees are dirty,
branches conflict, or updates cannot be applied as a fast-forward.
- Existing local branches are updated safely, while missing branches are
created from the remote source.

…Verify Hook (#938)

`deploy-site-task.yml`'s `verify` hook invocation had no path to forward
a secret — only GitHub Environment variables (`SITE_BASE_URL`,
`DEPLOY_SSH_USER`, `DEPLOY_SSH_HOST`) crossed into any hook invocation.
Blog's `checks/check-live-urls.sh` needs a
`PANGOLIN_ACCESS_TOKEN_ID`/`PANGOLIN_ACCESS_TOKEN` pair to open its
staging environment's auth gate, which was blocking Blog's
`deploy-site-task.yml` adoption (tracked in
`docs/reusable-workflows.md`'s Stage 5 rollout).

## Change

- Declares an optional, generic `SITE_AUTH_TOKEN_ID`/`SITE_AUTH_TOKEN`
secret pair (`required: false`) under `on.workflow_call.secrets`.
- Forwards both as `env:` on the `verify` hook invocation only, the same
mechanism the task already uses for GitHub Environment variables (plain
`env:`, not a declared `with:` input, so no other mode needs to
declare/pass an input it doesn't use).
- Names no vendor on the hub task: Blog's own caller maps its
`PANGOLIN_ACCESS_TOKEN_ID`/`PANGOLIN_ACCESS_TOKEN` secrets to these
generic names in its own `secrets:` block.
- Updates `docs/reusable-workflows.md`'s hook-contract prose and ticks
the Stage 5 rollout checklist item that tracked this decision.
- Removes the now-resolved `TODO.md` item.

Fixes #929

Follow-up to #938, prompted by a CodeRabbit finding on the develop ->
main promotion PR (#936): several sentences #938 added to
`deploy-site-task.yml`'s assert-step comment and
`docs/reusable-workflows.md` ran past comment-and-doc-style's 25-word
cap for new prose.

## Change

- Splits the four over-length sentences into shorter ones, no content
removed.
- Leaves pre-existing long sentences in the same paragraphs untouched
(they predate #938 and #929; the sentence-length rule is opt-in for the
existing corpus, binding only for new prose).

🔵 Needs a closer look

It updates fleet-critical reusable workflows (including secret-forwarding behavior) and branch ruleset payloads, so a final maintainer verification pass is warranted even though no concrete defects were found.

ptr727 added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 23, 2026
Fixes four real findings CodeRabbit raised on PR #936's full promotion
diff.

- **merge-and-release's install preflight missed gitignored paths.**
\`skills_install.py\` installs each skill directory with
\`shutil.copytree()\` (line 152, no ignore filter), so a gitignored
stray file rides into the install regardless. \`git status --porcelain\`
alone is silent on ignored paths. Widened to \`--untracked-files=all
--ignored\`.
- **Cleanup fast-forwarded the base clone to \`develop\` before removing
the promotion worktree.** Verified empirically: \`git checkout
<branch>\` refuses when that branch is already checked out in another
worktree. Reordered to remove first.
- **\`git worktree remove\` appeared with no path argument.** Git
requires one. Named it explicitly (\`git worktree remove
"<worktree-path>"\`).
- **Branch names were unquoted across six cleanup commands** in both
\`drive-pr\` and \`merge-and-release\` (\`gh pr list --head\`, \`git
ls-remote\`, \`git rev-parse\`, \`git branch -D\`, \`git push
--delete\`). A valid git ref can start with \`-\` or carry a shell
metacharacter. Quoted throughout, with \`--\` end-of-options where it
helps.

Declined two findings from the same review round, replied with evidence
on PR #936 rather than silently acting or ignoring:
- A "require confirmation for each destructive action" finding against
\`drive-pr\`'s batched authorization model, that design choice is
already stated and justified in the skill's own "What Invoking This
Skill Authorizes" section.
- A "compare-and-delete with \`--force-with-lease\`" finding, which
would require carving a narrow exception into git-commit-conventions'
blanket "never force push" rule. That's a maintainer policy call, not a
mechanical fix, so it stays open for the maintainer rather than
something an agent decides unilaterally.

Edited both sources and regenerated all distributions with
\`scripts/build_dist.py\`, verified with \`--check\` and
\`scripts/tests/test_build_dist.py\`.
