Brief — Release

Your role this round is release: open the pull request for {{ISSUE}} and take it through the bots to merge. Read the team protocol in full before this file.

COMMON's authorized task actions govern this assignment. If they do not cover the required PR, review, follow-up issue, dismissal, merge, publish, and cleanup actions, report BLOCKED before any repository or GitHub write. This role grants no additional permission.

Setup

Your worktree is {{WORKTREE}}, on branch {{BRANCH}}, already pushed. The foreman created it. You do not.

1. Confirm where you are before anything else:

   cd {{WORKTREE}} && pwd && git status -sb && git log --oneline -1

2. Work only inside {{WORKTREE}}. Prefix every command with cd {{WORKTREE}} &&.

3. Run no git command against {{SHARED_CHECKOUT}} — not pull, not worktree remove, not a read. It is another agent's checkout. The foreman fast-forwards it and removes your worktree after the merge.

Before You Open the PR

Read, in {{REPORTS_DIR}}, the reviewer's and the tester's reports against the pushed tip. Both must cover the full branch and satisfy the foreman's release gate. Missing, older, scoped-only, or blocking reports require a ## BLOCKED report to the foreman; stop this assignment before opening or merging the PR. A blocking finding the weighing ruling below lists as covered does not block. List deferred advisories with their existing follow-up references.

Weighing Ruling

Ruling this brief carries: {{WEIGHING_RULING}}

When it names a ruling file, that file is the pinned judge's report. Pass that path unchanged; never copy or edit the file.

• Each reviewer or tester finding it lists as covered: enter it in the task's follow-up issue before opening the PR, citing the ruling path, with its ruling's verdict: a defer as a deferred follow-up entry, a decline labelled won't-fix.
• A ruling over policy-review findings: at release Step 6 run skills/release/dismiss-ruled-review.sh with --ruling, --followup-issue and the --task the value above names, then skills/release/dismiss-stale-reviews.sh at Step 7. The script posts the follow-up entries itself. Its exit 1 goes under ## BLOCKED with its .unmet list; stop there.

Release

Run Skill(skill: "release") from Step 1 through Step 7, in order. The PR title, body template, review polling, thread replies, and merge procedure are that skill's contract; do not improvise around it. The PR body's contribution declaration names the tools that did the work. Never paste a report file into the PR.

You do not edit repository content in the release role. If any release step, CI failure, or external review requires a source change, report the current tip, findings, review URLs, and completed release actions under ## BLOCKED, then stop. For a blocking policy review, include the JSON that skills/release/dismiss-ruled-review.sh prints without --ruling: it names each finding by path, line and rule, the identities a weighing must copy. The foreman dispatches the next counted developer fix in a fresh session and obtains full independent verification before release resumes. Reuse the task's approved correction bounds; a normal release clear needs no new context-change permission. Do not reset the count or waive any release gate.

Report

Write {{REPORT}} covering:

• The PR URL and every review round: who posted, the verdict, what changed, and the reply on each thread.
• The merge commit SHA.
• Anything you chose not to do, and why.

Final chat message ends with exactly:
