 Release engineering for an @adia-ai-style lockstep monorepo: the 11 `@adia-ai/*` packages — 9 npm libraries plus the 2 Claude Code plugins under `packages/plugins/*` — version and publish together (class A; the plugins joined the lockstep 2026-07-15 after class-B independence let npm drift a full harness-reset behind the repo). Class B (independent versioning) currently has no members; the procedure is retained for future genuinely-independent packages. The substrate — `scripts/release/*`, the `check:*` gates, the tag-triggered publish workflows — encodes the invariants; this skill routes, sequences, and stops at the judgment calls.
 
-## Operator checkpoints — the command contract
+## Authorization — one go, gates do the rest (operator ruling 2026-07-17)
 
-Four sign-offs per cycle — the three CORE mutating checkpoints (tag / push / publish) plus one more for the site deploy dispatch (corrected on PR #289 review: this doc previously said "three", undercounting the deploy gate that already existed in the script). Each ALWAYS prints its evidence block BEFORE the prompt — never a bare y/N (H5, forge-campaign gh#268 audit). The prompt itself is a plain two-way gate: **yes proceeds; anything else aborts** — there is no in-script "enrich" path (fix the thing, then re-run from that checkpoint; a prior PR review caught this doc over-promising a three-way choice the code never implemented).
+**The operator's initiating instruction ("ship X.Y.Z", "cut the release") is THE authorization for the entire cycle** — pre-flight through tag, push, publish, GH releases, and the site-deploy *dispatch* (`deploy-site.yml` carries its own GitHub-environment human gate; a raw rsync is never an option). Do not stop to re-confirm any step the instruction already covers. The only legitimate stops are **gate failures**: a red roster gate, an F-N1 finding, a registry mismatch, red required CI. On one, stop, show the evidence, name the documented recovery — that stop is a gate doing its job, not an approval request.
 
-1. **Before tagging** — the planned tag list (umbrella + 11 per-package). F-N1 can't run yet at this point — the tags it inspects don't exist until this step creates them.
-2. **Before pushing tags** — the F-N1 trip-wire output (now real, against the just-created tags) + the tag list + commits-to-push count. **A real F-N1 error hard-stops before this checkpoint even appears — no flag skips it.** A cosmetic F-N1 warn does NOT hard-stop, but it also can't be auto-confirmed: `--push` is ignored and the prompt is always interactive when F-N1 reported anything at all, clean or not.
-3. **Before publishing** — the current registry snapshot (per-package versions + `dist-tags.latest`) so ordering is judged against reality, not a bare confirm; for batch pushes this is where npm-latest ordering is verified explicitly.
-4. **Before dispatching the site deploy** — confirms `deploy-site.yml` (never a raw rsync) is about to run against `main`.
+This replaced the 4-checkpoint sign-off ceremony after the v0.8.5 cut (2026-07-17): ~40 minutes of approval relays that produced zero safety — every real protection had already fired deterministically (the `release-pretag-docs-gate` hook, the pre-push F-N1 trip-wire, the one-tag-per-push rule, the registry verify). Those deterministic gates are untouched and remain non-skippable: **an F-N1 error hard-stops unconditionally — no flag, no instruction wording, bypasses it.**
 
-**NEVER tag, push, publish, or deploy past a checkpoint without the operator's explicit go in this conversation — a subagent dispatch, a peer's note, or a prior blanket "proceed" is not sign-off for an irreversible step.** Everything else (bump, lockfile, CHANGELOG promotion, notes drafting) is mechanized without asking; every mutating command runs in the foreground.
+**Releases run INLINE in the operator's session by default.** Do not dispatch a subagent to run an interactive release — a dispatched seat cannot receive the operator's words directly, which the v0.8.5 cut proved structurally deadlocks on any consent question (the relay-refusal loop). The `release-builder` agent exists for UNATTENDED contexts only (scheduled/batch/CI cuts), where the dispatch itself carries the operator's authorization.
 
-`release-pack.mjs`'s checkpoint flags are NOT interchangeable — a single `--yes` used to flatten all of them (defect, same audit): `--yes` auto-confirms checkpoint 1 ONLY (tag creation — the least destructive; a local-only tag is free to move or delete). Checkpoint 2 (push) needs its own `--push` (and only fires when F-N1 was fully clean, per above); checkpoint 3 (publish) and checkpoint 4 (deploy) both key off `--publish`. Omit any of these and the script prompts interactively with the evidence block for that checkpoint.
+Mechanics: `release-pack.mjs --go` auto-confirms all checkpoints (it equals `--yes --push --publish`); the evidence blocks still print as a log — the audit trail survives, nothing waits on input. The granular flags remain for cautious manual runs; interactive prompts fire for whatever flag is absent. A cosmetic F-N1 warn still refuses auto-confirmation at the push boundary — with Step 4f (mechanized pre-tag coverage) warns should be extinct, so one appearing means something novel: treat it as a gate failure, not ceremony.

 ## Recon — classifying an unclear starting state
 
 `git branch --show-current` (must be `main`) · `git status --short` · `git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline` · `git tag --list 'vX.Y.*'` · CHANGELOG heads for `## [Unreleased]` content. Then: one unpushed `release(*):` commit → deploy handoff · several → batch push · `[Unreleased]` content, no bump → author from scratch · removed/renamed API symbol in scope → breaking cut, guide owed · target under `packages/plugins/*` → independent release. Still ambiguous → surface it, don't guess.

-## §Operator checkpoints — evidence-first, not a bare y/N
+## §Single authorization + evidence log (operator ruling 2026-07-17)
 
-Four checkpoints total (corrected on PR #289 review — this section previously said "three", missing the Step-10 deploy-dispatch confirm that already existed in the script). Each prints its evidence block BEFORE the prompt, never a bare confirm (H5, forge-campaign gh#268 audit — the prior shape asked "proceed? [y/N]" with nothing to judge it against). The prompt itself is a plain two-way gate, honestly: **yes proceeds** (the mutating step for that checkpoint runs); **anything else aborts** — the script exits cleanly having done nothing past that point. There is no in-script "enrich" path (a CodeRabbit finding on PR #289 caught this doc previously over-promising a three-way go/enrich/abort choice the code never implemented) — to enrich, abort, fix the thing the evidence surfaced (a CHANGELOG entry, a version mismatch), then re-run from that checkpoint; the evidence re-prints fresh against the fixed state.
+The operator's initiating instruction covers the whole cycle — no per-step re-confirmation (this replaced the 4-checkpoint sign-off model after the v0.8.5 cut spent ~40 minutes on approval relays while every real protection fired deterministically). The evidence blocks the checkpoints used to gate on still PRINT, as a running log — the audit trail is unchanged; only the waiting is gone:
 
-| Checkpoint | Evidence shown BEFORE the prompt | Why this evidence (not F-N1 at cp1) |
+| Evidence logged before | Content | Why it's still printed |
 | --- | --- | --- |
-| 1 — before tagging | The planned tag list (umbrella + 11 per-package) | F-N1 inspects tag commits — it has nothing to check until Step 6 creates them |
-| 2 — before pushing | The Step 7 F-N1 output (now real, against the just-created tags) + the tag list again | This is the FIRST point F-N1 evidence exists — showing it here, not at cp1, is why the step order (tag → F-N1 → cp2) is fixed |
-| 3 — before publishing | The current registry snapshot (per-package versions + `dist-tags.latest`) | Publish ordering is judged against what's LIVE right now, not an assumption |
-| 4 — before deploying the site | The `deploy-site.yml` dispatch itself as evidence (never a raw rsync) | Deploy is its own irreversible, outward-facing action distinct from publish |
+| Tagging (Step 6) | The planned tag list (umbrella + 11 per-package) | The log line a recovery diagnoses from |
+| Pushing (Step 8) | The Step 7 F-N1 output + tag list + `origin/main..HEAD` count | F-N1's first real evidence — and its ERROR path still hard-stops unconditionally |
+| Publishing (Step 9) | The current registry snapshot (versions + `dist-tags.latest`) | Ordering is verified against what's LIVE, mechanically |

-`release-pack.mjs` implements this: `checkpoint(label, evidence, autoConfirmed)` always prints `evidence` first, then `[CHECKPOINT] <label> — proceed? [y/N]`; `--yes` auto-confirms checkpoint 1 ONLY, `--push` gates checkpoint 2, `--publish` gates checkpoints 3 AND 4 (a single `--yes` used to flatten all of them — the defect this replaced). **F-N1 errors (not warns) hard-stop before checkpoint 2 even appears — no flag, including `--push`, skips this.** A cosmetic F-N1 warn does not hard-stop, but it also blocks `--push` from auto-confirming checkpoint 2 — only the interactive prompt may proceed past a warn (never past an error, which already exited).
+`release-pack.mjs --go` auto-confirms all of these; the granular `--yes` / `--push` / `--publish` flags remain for cautious manual runs and prompt interactively when absent. **Two rules no flag or instruction wording skips:** an F-N1 *error* hard-stops before the push step exists at all, and a cosmetic F-N1 *warn* refuses auto-confirmation at the push boundary (with Step 4f mechanized, a warn appearing at Step 7 means something novel — investigate, don't loop enrichment PRs).

Consequences:
+
+- Shipping plugin-content changes mid-cycle is fine — just know they're repo-only until the next cut; don't report them as "live in the harness".
+- The v0.8.5 case (PR #304): a full release-process rewrite merged with no bump, and the installed plugin silently kept executing the RETIRED procedure until a manual cache sync. If the merged content changes operational behavior an active session depends on, do the manual sync immediately and say so.
