 ### Fixed
 
+- **The self-review gate reviews again — it had reviewed nothing for four
+  consecutive releases.** 14.17.0, 14.18.0, 14.19.0 and 14.20.0 each returned
+  `HTTP 400 prompt is too long` and each recorded an honest null in
+  `agents/evidence/release-findings/`. The release path sets the analysis base
+  to the previous tag, so the whole release span went into **one** request.
+  **All four** recorded a figure against the 200000 cap — 235472 (14.17.0),
+  413191 (14.18.0), 450336 (14.19.0), 260998 (14.20.0) — and the smallest
+  exceeded it by 17.7 %. (An earlier draft of this entry said three releases
+  recorded a figure and put the smallest at 30 % over; both were wrong, and the
+  omitted reading was the one nearest the cap — the one that most constrains
+  the budget. The conclusion does not depend on the error: every span observed
+  exceeds the cap.) `buildPlan` already computed `promptChars` and only
+  *reported* it, so nothing consulted the number before spending the call.
+  The diff is now partitioned **per file** into requests under a character
+  budget, each is reviewed, and findings are merged and deduplicated on the
+  finding id the ledger already uses. Verified against the live span that had
+  been failing: 5 requests, no path left out.
+  **Nothing is truncated**, and that is the load-bearing decision: a silently
+  shortened diff yields findings about a fragment while reading as a review of
+  the whole change, which is the false green this repository's honest-null
+  discipline exists to prevent. So a single file larger than one request is
+  **named as unreviewed** rather than cut mid-hunk, a per-run request ceiling
+  bounds the spend and reports its remainder, a chunk whose call fails no longer
+  discards the chunks that succeeded, and the rendered PR comment carries a
+  **Coverage** block stating what was not read — including the sentence that
+  absence of a finding for an unreviewed path is not evidence about that path.
+  `--dry-run` now prints the request count rather than only a token estimate,
+  because this gate spends per request, and warns when a span sits at the
+  ceiling. The budget factor is a character proxy **derived from those four
+  failures** (measured diff chars / reported tokens = 3.13 and 3.18) and set
+  below them, because the ratio is content-dependent — cl100k over this repo's
+  own diffs reads ~3.9 for `src/`, ~4.1 for prose and ~2.75 for a lockfile. A
+  call that still overflows a budgeted chunk falsifies that number, not the
+  partitioning.
+  **A neutral reviewer on the first version found three defects that are fixed
+  here rather than shipped.** The coverage line counted every file in a dropped
+  chunk as reviewed — 59 of 60 for a run that read 4, because the partition
+  packed to opaque strings and reported one aggregate row; it ignored chunks
+  whose call had failed, computing the number before those were appended; and a
+  non-ASCII filename was silently skipped **and** counted as read, because
+  `git diff --name-only` renders it quoted and the quoted form then matches no
+  pathspec. Coverage is now summed from the chunks that actually returned, every
+  dropped chunk names its own files, and paths are read with
+  `core.quotePath=false`. Correcting the budget ratio shrank each request, so
+  the same span needed five: the request ceiling moved from four to six rather
+  than paying for tokenizer safety with silent coverage loss.
+  Known limits, stated rather than implied: coverage lives in prose, so an
+  `--enforce` run over a partial review still returns 0, and
+  `check_finding_dispositions --ingest` reads only `.findings`, so the durable
+  ledger does not record the coverage the artifact now carries.
+
+### Added
+
+- **A push no longer ships a branch whose tree contradicts its own commits.**
+  `check_branch_work_committed` runs first in the pre-push hook, and it exists
+  because this branch produced the defect it guards: a merge-reconciled baseline
+  was written into `gate-violation-baselines.json` **after** `git add`, so
+  `git commit --no-edit` captured the staged side, the reconciled number stayed
+  in the working tree, and the push went out asserting a baseline the tree
+  contradicted. The operator found it, not the pipeline — and **no CI gate
+  could have**: CI checks out the pushed commit, and the working tree holding
+  the lost edit does not exist there. That is why this gate is pre-push and
+  local-only, the same reach `check_branch_freshness` has.
+  It blocks by **authorship**, not on a dirty tree, because a blanket
+  clean-tree rule would fire on every gate script's own report output and train
+  the operator to set the skip variable: staged-and-changed-since (the measured
+  shape), staged at all (`git add` is recorded intent, and a push carries
+  commits rather than the index), and dirty files this branch's own commits
+  touch. A parallel session's edit and a gate's report output are named and
+  waved through. One residual limit is stated in the header rather than hidden:
+  a file this branch created and neither staged nor committed cannot be told
+  apart from a foreign untracked file; the staged rule closes it at the first
+  `git add`, and that rule exists because testing the gate against the live
+  tree put its own source file in the advisory class.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`task release` no longer asks the releaser to write anything, and the
+  written-answer obligation is deleted (ADR-261).** This entry replaces the one
+  that stood here — *"the release's written obligation is now answerable, not
+  only refusable"* — because that mechanism landed and was removed in the same
+  cycle, and shipping its description would be a false claim about 14.21.0.
+
+  The obligation: when governance-only commits outnumbered consumer-only ones
+  over the release span, the section had to carry human prose naming the next
+  cycle's consumer work, and the following release had to read that promise back
+  as `shipped` / `did not ship` / `withdrawn`. Four refusal sites, two
+  placeholder sentinels, a length floor, an outcome vocabulary, a
+  `## [Unreleased]` staging channel and an interactive prompt stood behind two
+  sentences. Across 14.18.0, 14.19.0 and 14.20.0 it was discharged **by hand,
+  mid-release**, after the pipeline had bumped the version and aborted.
+
+  The mechanism built to fix that ran for the first time on 14.21.0 and made it
+  worse: `staged_response` located its markers with an unanchored
+  `body.indexOf(marker)` over the whole `## [Unreleased]` body, so it matched
+  the **prose of the changelog entry describing itself**, cut two sentences out
+  of the middle of that entry, pasted them into the 14.21.0 release head as
+  orphan fragments, and prompted for the answer anyway. A `task release` run
+  corrupted both sections of the file it was governing. Both are repaired here.
+
+  The owner removed the obligation rather than the bug: this package exists to
+  make the maintainer's work cheaper, and a gate that halts a green pipeline
+  until a human types prose about a cycle that has not happened yet moves cost
+  onto the person the tool is for. `> **Governance mix:** …` stays as a
+  one-line measurement the generator renders end to end.
+
+  **Untouched:** every honesty control about a claim *this* release makes —
+  `_auto-derived, rewrite before merge:_` still blocks, the authoring-instruction
+  sentinel still blocks, the `_none_` contradiction check still blocks, the
+  `Tests: N` footer is still required. Those refuse an unreviewed statement about
+  the release being published; the deleted one refused the absence of a statement
+  about a future one. ADR-253's actual decision — the decline of the per-PR
+  user-artifact gate — stands.
+
+- **The 14.19.0 start-position fix shipped incomplete; this is its other half.**
+  It taught `preflightPosition` to accept `release/{target}`, and 14.20.0 then
+  failed with `release must run from 'main' or 'release/14.21.0', currently on
+  'release/14.20.0'`. Step 2 had already bumped `package.json`, so a plain
+  re-run computed the bump from the **already bumped** version and asked the
+  preflight about a version one higher than the one in flight — the start-position
+  fix could not help, it was asked about the wrong target.
+  `_detect_in_flight_target` needed no flag for either of its branches (HEAD on a
+  release branch; a manifest version whose tag is not published), and the comment
+  at the call site already stated that intent — the `args.resume ?` gate narrowed
+  it to resumed runs. The probe now runs unconditionally, so an abandoned bump can
+  no longer be silently released as the NEXT version either. A wiring assertion
+  pins it, because the probe's own unit tests passed throughout: they never asked
+  whether anything called it unconditionally.
+
 - **The curated-head refusal is recoverable again — its own remedy was refused
   by the preflight.** `guard_release_curation` stops between step 2 and step 3,

Two bases are not what the linked directory shows, so they are stated here rather than left to be inferred: **Commands 202** counts every command file **recursively** (the linked directory holds 61 at its top level), and **Rules 120** counts the **source** rules while the linked projection holds 119 — one rule is dormant and is not projected. **Personas 29** excludes the directory README.
