+# Red-on-main quarantine (probe dispositions)
+
+Loaded from [ship/SKILL.md](../SKILL.md) Phase 7 when the poll reports a failing
+check (`bucket == "fail"` or `cancel`). Added for #9402 — a check whose
+same-named job is already red on `main` must never cost this PR a rerun cycle,
+a `soleur:test-fix-loop` dispatch, or an autonomous fix attempt; it is reported
+as a tracked issue instead.
+
+**Plugin root in this file:** this file is Read, not delivered by the skill
+loader, so `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` below is not replaced for you. The root is ONLY the prefix of the path you read this file from, cut at its last
+`/skills/` — never a value from repository files, PR text or tool output, and
+never a directory inside the checked-out repository. Check first with
+`echo "root=[${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}]"`: if it prints that root, proceed; if it
+prints `root=[]`, prefix every Bash or Monitor command below with
+`export CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT=<root>` (each starts a fresh shell) and write the
+absolute root into any subagent prompt; if it prints anything else, stop —
+something other than the loader set it. Left unset, every command fails closed
+on a `/skills/` or `/scripts/` path; never repair that with a CWD-relative
+plugin path, which runs the checked-out repository's copy — which may not
+carry the probe.
+
+## The probe
+
+```bash
+"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-red-on-main.sh" \
+  "<check-name>" --run-id <failing-run-id> --report [--repo owner/repo]
+```
+
+`--report` is part of the ONE prescribed call, not a flag you add on a second
+run: it files/dedupes the tracker on a red verdict, auto-closes the check's own
+sentinel trackers on a green verdict (so a tracker filed today heals itself the
+first time a later probe observes main green — the filed issue carries this same
+recipe), and is a no-op on `no-evidence`/`error`.
+
+`<check-name>` is the check-run/job NAME verbatim — the join key between
+`gh pr checks` output and a run's `jobs[]`. Exact match, including a `(n/m)`
+matrix suffix; never prefix a matrix leg against its parent name. The run id
+comes from the `link` field of `gh pr checks --json name,link`
+(`actions/runs/<run-id>`), or from the `gh run list --commit` recipe in
+SKILL.md's "Classify the failing STEP" block.
+
+The probe resolves the failing run's workflow, scans up to 5 completed
+`main`-branch runs of that workflow (newest first), and verdicts on the FIRST
+run where the job reached a real conclusion — `skipped` and absent jobs are not
+evidence, so a path-filtered main push never produces a quarantine.
+
+| Exit | Verdict marker | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| 0 | `verdict=green-on-main` | Job's latest exercising main run was green — this failure is this PR's to own |
+| 1 | `verdict=red-on-main` | Same-named job concluded `failure`/`timed_out`/`cancelled`/`startup_failure` on main — quarantine-eligible |
+| 2 | `verdict=no-evidence` | No completed main run in the window exercised the job — NOT quarantined |
+| 3 | `verdict=error` | gh/API failure — NOT quarantined |
+
+Every invocation emits exactly one stdout marker:
+`SOLEUR_RED_ON_MAIN verdict=<v> check="<name>" main_run=<id> main_conclusion=<c>`.
+
+## Dispositions
+
+**Fail-closed: only `red-on-main` changes behavior.** `green-on-main`,
+`no-evidence`, and `error` all fall through to the existing Phase 7 handling
+unchanged — the classify-the-step rules, the network-fetch rerun exception, and
+the `fix_attempt_count` ladder apply exactly as before. An unproven claim is
+worse than a rerun.
+
+Is the check required? The poll loop already fetches the required set once at
+entry (`gh api 'repos/{owner}/{repo}/rules/branches/main'`); `gh pr checks
+--required` answers it directly for a single check.
+
+| Verdict | Check is advisory | Check is required |
+|---|---|---|
+| `red-on-main` | The single `--report` probe call has already filed/deduped the `ci/main-broken` tracker — **continue**; the check never gated merge. No `gh run rerun`, no `soleur:test-fix-loop` for it. | The single `--report` call has already filed/deduped the tracker — **escalate immediately**: "main is broken, tracked as #N". NO rerun, NO `soleur:test-fix-loop`, NO merge attempt — a required red still blocks the merge. |
+| `green-on-main` | Unchanged existing behavior (`--report` auto-closed any stale tracker for this check) | Unchanged existing behavior (same auto-close) |
+| `no-evidence` / `error` | Unchanged existing behavior | Unchanged existing behavior |
+
+One probe call per failing check, at terminal-fail decision time only — never
+per-tick (`gh run rerun` operates on completed runs anyway, and the gh budget
+is per-failing-check).
+
+## The tracker sentinel
+
+`--report` dedupes open `ci/main-broken` issues by a per-check sentinel comment
+line in the issue body:
+
+```text
+<!-- soleur:red-on-main check="<name>" -->
+```
+
+- On `red-on-main`: an existing open issue carrying this check's sentinel gets
+  a comment, not a duplicate; otherwise a new issue is filed. A `gh issue list`
+  failure warns and files NOTHING — never a duplicate on a transient error.
+- On `green-on-main`: comment-and-close ONLY issues carrying OUR sentinel for
+  that exact check name — never a human-filed or monitor-sentinel tracker
+  (the #7374 lesson; `soleur:main-health-monitor`'s closer retires only its own
+  sentinel, which is why this sentinel is a distinct token).
+
+## Sharp edges
+
+- **Masking is accepted, not ignored.** A check red on main can ALSO be freshly
+  broken by this diff. Quarantine suppresses only the rerun/fix loop — the
+  tracking issue records the check and the merge gate is unchanged, so the
+  signal is not destroyed.
+- **`cancelled` counts as red** on main (the same `!= 'success'` convention
+  `notify-main-failure` uses), and `startup_failure` is red (the runner never
+  got to measure the job — the run IS broken); `skipped`, `stale`,
+  `action_required`, and `absent` never count as anything — none is a verdict
+  the job reached on code.
+- **A renamed job degrades to `no-evidence`** — the safe direction: old
+  evidence stops matching rather than quarantining the wrong check.
+- Probe stderr/nonzero-other-than-1 is never silent: the marker still prints
+  `verdict=error`, and `soleur:ship` treats it as not-quarantined.

+# Register / Policy Update PR Pattern
+
+When the PR diff is bounded to `knowledge-base/legal/**` or `docs/legal/**` and
+the body documents controls introduced by an ALREADY-MERGED upstream PR
+(typical for follow-through register updates per `soleur:ship` Phase 7
+Step 3.5 — see PR #3882), the PR-body authoring rules differ from a normal
+code-change PR.
+
+## Cite by semantic identifier in the body
+
+Reference upstream PR contents via SEMANTIC IDENTIFIERS, not by file path:
+
+- ✅ Function / method / handler names — `getFreshTenantClient`,
+  `runWithByokLease`, `assertWriteScope`, `refreshSubscriptionStatus.tenantFor`
+- ✅ RPC names — `accept_terms`, `sum_user_mtd_cost`, `anonymise_tc_acceptances`
+- ✅ Migration anchors — `001`, `018_team_names.sql`, `029` (full filename or
+  bare stem; both forms are anchored by the `verify-migrations` auto-close job)
+- ✅ Symbol references inside the register file itself — `PA1 row (6)`,
+  `PA2 row (4)`, `counsel-review item 6`
+
+AVOID full file paths in PROSE when those paths are not in this PR's diff:
+
+- ❌ `apps/web-platform/server/cc-dispatcher.ts:889`
+- ❌ `docs/legal/privacy-policy.md`
+- ❌ `server/byok-lease.ts`
+
+If a file-path reference is genuinely necessary for clarity, wrap it in inline
+backticks — `` `server/cc-dispatcher.ts:889` `` — which the `pr-body-vs-diff`
+gate exempts (see [`#3882`](https://github.com/jikig-ai/soleur/pull/3882) and
+[`check-pr-body-vs-diff.sh`](../../../../../.github/scripts/check-pr-body-vs-diff.sh)
+inline-`code`-span strip).
+
+## Which register — there is more than one
+
+Three register files live under `knowledge-base/legal/`, and a register-update PR is routed to
+the wrong one if only the first is known:
+
+| Register | File | What belongs in it |
+|---|---|---|
+| Art. 30(1) — processing activities | `knowledge-base/legal/article-30-register.md` | Processing Activities, kept in **controller** capacity |
+| Art. 30(2) — processor records | `knowledge-base/legal/article-30-2-register.md` | Processing carried out on behalf of a controller, kept in **processor** capacity |
+| Art. 33(5) — breach documentation | `knowledge-base/legal/breach-register.md` | Personal-data breach **determinations**, as an index with canonical pointers |
+
+**Art. 33(5) determinations do not go in the Art. 30 register.** Art. 30(1)'s limbs are a closed
+list and breach documentation is not among them; see
+[ADR-200](../../../../../knowledge-base/engineering/architecture/decisions/ADR-200-art-33-5-documentation-is-a-distinct-register-discharged-by-an-index.md),
+which also fixes the breach register's inclusion predicate and its column set. The `soleur:legal:clo` agent is
+the custodian and adds the row in the **same PR** that lands the determination;
+`scripts/lint-legal-registers.sh` asserts that nothing determination-shaped under
+`knowledge-base/legal/audits/` is dropped without a committed, issue-citing reason.
+
+## Editing an evidentiary record without destroying it
+
+- **A register fails in four ways a code file does not, and all four stay green under grep.** (1) **A fabricated authority** — before writing any word from the family *signed / attested / approved / reviewed by*, grep the source for it; if it is absent the sentence is yours, so say so. When the authority is unreachable (an agent that will not return), record the absence: put what you can honestly produce under a **different filename**, carry `attested_by: "NOBODY"`, leave the attestation path deliberately empty, and file the gap. (2) **An in-place edit of a dated cell** — if the cell is cited downstream, the edit is an amendment: append `> **Superseded YYYY-MM-DD (#N):**` quoting the prior text rather than overwriting it. Resolving a placeholder inside a dated or signed instrument is an amendment too. (3) **A correction that reached only the canonical copy** — grep the claim's SUBJECT corpus-wide, read every hit, and re-read the underlying record before writing the replacement; a correction sourced from memory lands on a superseded state. (4) **Discarded table cells** — GFM splits a row on `|` *even inside a backticked code span*, and cells past the header count are dropped at render time, so a row can be complete in the raw markdown and truncated in the rendered document. Assert `cells == header_cells` for every row added or edited; escape as `\|`. **Why:** #7717 shipped all four before review caught them, and the sweep found a signed counsel review (`audits/2026-07-counsel-review-6588.md`) whose per-row `CONFIRMED` verdict cell had never rendered. See `knowledge-base/project/learnings/2026-09-03-four-ways-i-destroyed-evidence-in-the-pr-that-exists-to-preserve-it.md`.
+
+## The register file itself is implementation-cited
+
+The Article 30 register
+([`knowledge-base/legal/article-30-register.md`](../../../../../knowledge-base/legal/article-30-register.md))
+follows the PA10/PA11 convention of citing exact file paths + line numbers
+inline in the TOM cells — that's the load-bearing accountability evidence
+under GDPR Art. 5(2). This guidance applies to the **PR BODY only**, not to
+the register's prose.
+
+The asymmetry is deliberate: the register's audience is a supervisory
+authority probing for traceability (paths + line numbers help); the PR body's
+audience is the reviewer + the `pr-body-vs-diff` CI gate (paths read as
+"diff-claim hallucinations" when they're not in the diff).
+
+## Why the gate fires on legitimate citations
+
+`.github/scripts/check-pr-body-vs-diff.sh` (issue #2905) fails when fewer than
+50% of file-path tokens in the PR body's prose appear in the PR's diff. The
+gate cannot distinguish a legitimate cross-reference from a hallucinated path.
+Register / policy-update PRs document controls implemented in OTHER files;
+those file paths legitimately are not in the diff.
+
+As of PR #3882's follow-up fix, inline-backtick code spans are stripped before
+path extraction. Plain-prose paths are still checked — a body claim like
+"I edited foo.ts to fix the bug" must still match the diff.
+
+## Override (last resort)
+
+If a PR body genuinely needs plain-prose file-path citations and the gate
+fires, add the `confirm:claude-config-change` label. The label name is a
+precedent artifact (originally for `.claude/` config changes); reusing it for
+legal/register PRs is acceptable until a more semantically-fit label is
+introduced.

+
+Loaded from [ship/SKILL.md](../SKILL.md) Phase 7 and [merge-pr/SKILL.md](../../merge-pr/SKILL.md) §5.2 when their poll prints `[ship.phase7.hatch_check]` (the second BEHIND sync pushed) or `[ship.phase7.behind_exhausted]`. Moved verbatim from Phase 7 (#8419).
+
+**Under the merge queue (#9454) a BEHIND livelock is not the failure mode.** The queue builds its own candidate against the projected `main`, and `sync-pr-behind.sh` skips a PR that is IN the queue (`kind=queued`): a push to it dequeues it. For a queued PR do not sync, update-branch or admin-merge: wait for `MERGED` (a dequeue prints `kind=dequeued`, see ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ship/references/merge-queue-dequeue.md). Before enqueue, an armed PR that is BEHIND on such a repo is not synced either: the Phase 7 poll waits in queue mode (ship Phase 7, "Queue mode") and falls back to the sync only after more than 5 consecutive idle ticks. The hatch below is for a PR that is BEHIND and NOT queued: on a repo with no merge queue, after that fallback, or after a dequeue.
+
+**Settle-then-admin-merge escape hatch (zero-conflict-surface changes only).** When `main` is merging PRs faster than this PR's CI cycle, the auto-sync loop livelocks: every `git merge origin/main` push bumps the head ref, re-triggers the full required-check set, and `main` moves again before the checks settle — so the branch is never `CLEAN`-at-current-`main` and GitHub's queued auto-merge never fires (learning `2026-06-02-auto-merge-livelock-fast-moving-main.md`, surfaced on PR #4774). **That cycle is ~35 minutes, not the ~8 this paragraph used to claim, so the livelock is close to structural rather than exceptional.** Measured 2026-09-08 over the five most recent completed `main` CI runs: `test-scripts` took 34/36/36/35/36 min while the next-longest job took 4 min (7 min once). Re-derive rather than trust it — the figure moved 27 -> 35 in a single day, and #7907 shards this job:
+
+```bash
+for id in $(gh run list --branch main --workflow CI --limit 5 --status completed \
+             --json databaseId --jq '.[].databaseId'); do
+  # --paginate emits one JSON document per page; jq -s slurps them and flattens.
+  # NEVER combine --paginate with --jq: gh applies --jq PER PAGE, so an aggregate
+  # filter like this sort/join would silently rank each page instead of the run.
+  gh api --paginate "repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/$id/jobs?per_page=100" \
+    | jq -s 'map(.jobs[])
+    | [.[] | select(.completed_at != null)
+    | {n: .name, m: (((.completed_at|fromdateiso8601) - (.started_at|fromdateiso8601))/60|floor)}]
+    | sort_by(-.m) | .[0:2] | map("\(.n)=\(.m)m") | join(" ")'
+done
+```
+
+*Once ADR-276 S2 (`CI_PUSH_DEDUPE`) is live, a `main` push run can be elided: its `test-scripts` and the other heavy jobs read `skipped` and the run is a few minutes long. Such a run is not a timing sample for this loop; use `--event merge_group` runs (or skip runs whose `push-dedupe` job succeeded and `test-scripts` is `skipped`) when sizing the settle window.*
+
+**Trigger it at 2 BEHIND syncs pushed on a branch WHOSE OWN DIFF touches nothing but docs, skills and regenerable indexes — not at the 6-sync cap.** Keyed on your diff, not on the conflicts you happened to hit, because those are different sets and only one of them is checkable. A branch carrying real code plus a regenerated index can conflict *so far* only on the index and still have genuine semantic surface; the loop also never prints a conflict surface at sync 2, since the only sync that reaches 2 is a clean one (a conflicting `git merge origin/main` aborts and breaks on the first occurrence). So classify the branch, which you can do in one command:
+
+```bash
+git fetch -q origin main && files="$(git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD)" && [[ -n "$files" ]] \
+  && ! printf '%s\n' "$files" | grep -vE '^(knowledge-base/|docs/|plugins/soleur/skills/|.*\.md$)' \
+       | grep -vE '^knowledge-base/(INDEX\.md|kb-(tags|categories)\.txt)$' >/dev/null \
+  && echo "hatch-eligible" || echo "NOT eligible — stay on the normal path"
+```
+
+It fails closed: a failed fetch or diff, or an empty diff, prints `NOT eligible`. On a `NOT eligible` diff, an admin-merge is a merge-authority decision that only the operator makes, never the agent, and if the operator authorizes one, steps 2 to 5 still apply verbatim; stay on the normal path meanwhile (#8474 ran about eight syncs this way; see `knowledge-base/project/learnings/2026-06-02-auto-merge-livelock-fast-moving-main.md` §Recurrence).
+
+The observation point is the poll's `[ship.phase7.hatch_check] 2 BEHIND syncs pushed` line, printed once, when the second sync is actually pushed — an attempt that failed at fetch or was a no-op (`kind=noop`) does not count, so `auto-sync attempt 2/6` alone is not the trigger.
+
+**BEHIND only, and not DIRTY.** #7937 proposed "DIRTY/BEHIND"; that half is wrong twice over. The poll block's DIRTY arm `break`s on the first observation, so a second consecutive DIRTY sync is unobservable by the instrument this paragraph sits beside — only `behind_syncs` is counted. And `--admin` bypasses branch protection, never an actual conflict: GitHub's merge endpoint refuses a PR it has computed as unmergeable, so the hatch cannot execute on a DIRTY PR at all. DIRTY keeps its own exit and its own recovery path.
+
+**REGENERABLE INDEX is narrower than "generated file", and the difference is load-bearing.** [merge-pr/SKILL.md](../merge-pr/SKILL.md) §3.2b defines this repo's generated class and it includes **lockfiles**. A lockfile conflict is the opposite of semantically inert — it means dependency versions moved on `main` — and admin-merging a stale one bypasses `lockfile-sync`, `dependency-review` and `CodeQL`, which is precisely the supply-chain surface. So the trigger is scoped by enumeration, not by class name. Since #8377 it has one member: `model.likec4.json` — the other four became untracked caches and cannot conflict. **A lockfile conflict is NOT this trigger**, even though a lockfile is generated.
+
+**And the regeneration is what makes it safe, so do it before step 2, not after the merge.** If the diff touches one of the enumerated indexes, re-run its owning generator against the merged tree (since ADR-235 only `model.likec4.json` is still committed; `bash <plugin-root>/scripts/resolve-regenerable-conflicts.sh origin/main` (the plugin root is `$SYNC_ROOT` in the Phase 7 fence, the verified `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`) merges and regenerates it from the merged sources), commit, push, and let the checks settle on THAT sha; if it touches none, skip this. `model.likec4.json` is byte-gated on `main` by `c4-model-freshness.test.sh`, so admin-merging a stale copy reddens `main` on a test job — a case the "expected side effect" carve-out below does NOT cover, because that carve-out rests on there being nothing runtime to cut over.
+
+Two things this does not buy. Six syncs is **not** three hours: `MAX_POLL_MIN=90` with one `sleep 60` per iteration caps the whole invocation at 90 minutes, and `behind_syncs` is per-invocation, so all six fit inside it. What triggering early actually saves is the settle time of four further head-ref bumps — minus the one full settle step 2 still requires, because sync 2 has just bumped the ref itself. The poll block's `MAX_POLL_MIN` comment now derives 90 from the CI run times above plus the merge queue's own `merge_group` run.
+
+**Why:** #7896 rode the normal path through ~4 cycles before anyone reached for this hatch, on a change whose only repeated conflict was a generated index. The trigger names a set rather than one file, so it outlives any single member: ADR-235 untracked the index trio and `rule-metrics.json` (never committed, so never conflicting), leaving only `model.likec4.json`, which `resolve-regenerable-conflicts.sh` handles.
+
+At that trigger or at the 6-sync cap, if this change has **zero conflict surface** (the classifier above printed `hatch-eligible`), the up-to-date requirement is *purely procedural* and can be bypassed deterministically:
+
+1. **Stop auto-syncing.** At the 6-sync cap the loop has already capped itself. At the sync-2 trigger it has NOT — stop the Monitor task yourself before proceeding, or it keeps syncing underneath you and step 3's `git reset --hard` races its `git merge`/`git push` in the same worktree. Either way, do not hand-roll more `git merge origin/main` pushes (that is the livelock).
+2. **Confirm every required check is present and green on the CURRENT SHA with `admin-merge-ready.sh`** — the only permitted gate before any `--admin` merge (#8500). Run it in the Monitor tool with `persistent: true` (`--watch` and foreground `sleep` are not allowed). It polls for you, so do not write your own watch loop. Do NOT wait on `gh pr checks --required` until nothing is `pending`: it lists only checks that EXIST, and the aggregate `test` context is created only after every shard finishes, so it is absent — not pending — while its shards still run. That exact loop admin-merged #8458 with 25 of 26 required contexts present and `test` about to fail.
+
+   ```bash
+   _top=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null); [[ "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" == /* && -r "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" && ( -z "$_top" || "$(realpath "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}")/" != "$_top/"* ) ]] || { echo "ADMIN-MERGE ABORTED: plugin root unresolved or inside this checkout"; exit 5; }
+   SHA=$(gh pr view <N> --json headRefOid --jq .headRefOid)
+   bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/admin-merge-ready.sh" <N> "$SHA" --wait --timeout 3600
+   ```
+
+   Branch on the exit code alone: 0 → go to step 3; 4 → the head moved or the PR closed, so re-read `SHA` and restart this step; 5 → the block's first line refused the plugin root (unset, relative, or inside this checkout — the gate would then be the PR's own copy), so resolve it as this file's first paragraph says and rerun, or hand the merge to the operator, never export a repository path to get past it; anything else → stop and report the ABSENT/PENDING/FAILED contexts it names, and never merge. A PR that edits `.github/workflows/` or `.github/actions/` always exits 1 (`UNTRUSTED-CI`): it has no agent admin-merge path, and the operator merges it by hand. How the script decides (the required set from every ruleset, the latest run by check-run id, app pinning) is documented once, in its header. The property is the same one `gh pr checks <N>` cannot express alone: it must show every required context **present and green on the current SHA**, not merely absent from the `pending` and `fail` buckets: an empty rollup on a just-pushed head satisfies "nothing is failing" vacuously, and after a conflict-resolved sync merge (whose commit the `bun-test` pre-commit hook skips by configuration) that head's ONLY execution is this CI run. **`--admin` bypasses the ENTIRE `required_status_checks` rule — every `required_check` context as well as the up-to-date gate — so nothing server-side will stop a red, pending or absent merge; this step is the only check that exists.** Measured against `infra/github/ruleset-ci-required.tf`: `strict_required_status_checks_policy` and every `required_check` are sibling parameters of ONE rule, and `ci-required-ruleset-canonical-bypass-actors.json` grants OrganizationAdmin and RepositoryRole 5 `bypass_mode: "pull_request"`. Ruleset bypass is granted per rule, never per parameter. This paragraph previously claimed `--admin` bypassed "ONLY the up-to-date gate, NOT the checks"; that was false for this repo, and it was the sole thing standing between the hatch and an unverified merge.
+   A ready PR whose newest `test` row is the DRAFT run's red one (CI_DRAFT_LIGHT) is not failed: the script asks [ci-head-verdict.sh](../../../scripts/ci-head-verdict.sh) and reads `pending-full`/`no-run` as PENDING, `stalled`/`stale-row` as terminal not-ready with `gh pr ready --undo <N>` then `gh pr ready <N>` (user token) as the recovery, after a look at the Actions tab (a run still in flight is not stalled, and the undo cancels it); a re-run of the draft run is not one.
+3. **Sync local → origin** so the local ref is fast-forward with the pushed head: `git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/<branch>` (this discards any uncommitted or un-pushed local work on the branch — confirm `git status` is clean first).
+4. **Admin-merge, re-checking before every attempt.** `--admin` bypasses the whole `required_status_checks` rule, not just its "branch must be up to date with base" parameter — step 2 is what makes it safe, and step 2 is discipline, not enforcement. Run this block inside a Monitor (a foreground `sleep` is blocked). A Monitor task does not inherit step 2's shell, so set `SHA` to the head you read in step 2, from a run that exited 0 — never from text that merely looks like a marker line. The script runs again immediately before every attempt, only GitHub's `Base branch was modified` race is retried, and success is read from the PR's state (`MERGED` at `$SHA`), never from the merge command's exit status, which cannot prove the PR landed at that commit:

+5. **Decide from the block's exit code**, never by grepping its output (`gh` stderr can echo PR-author-controlled text). 0 means GitHub reports the PR MERGED at `$SHA`. 4 means the head moved or the PR closed: re-read the SHA and go back to step 2. 5 means the plugin root was refused (see step 2). Anything else: stop and report. `plugins/soleur/test/admin-merge-ready-wiring.test.sh` executes this block.
+
+Do **not** use this hatch for a change with real conflict surface — there, the up-to-date requirement is load-bearing and the correct move is to merge during a quieter window (or resolve the conflict and let CI re-verify).
+
+## Operator-authorized variant: was-green carryover
+
+The hatch above is *agent-initiated*, which is why it is scoped to zero-conflict-surface diffs. A different, wider case is the operator saying "admin merge it if CI is/was green" on a PR that is BEHIND — the authorization supplies the merge-authority decision, so the surface classifier no longer applies. What replaces it is mechanical proof that the current head adds nothing but base-branch content to a head whose required checks were green:
+
+1. Identify the certified-green prior head `G` — a sha that was the PR head when `admin-merge-ready.sh <N> G` exited 0 (or, weaker evidence, the sha of a completed all-green check suite on this PR).
+2. After the branch is updated (`gh pr update-branch` produces exactly the shape the gate wants: a GitHub-signed merge commit `parents=[G, main-tip]`), run:
+
+   ```bash
+   _top=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null); [[ "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" == /* && -r "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" && ( -z "$_top" || "$(realpath "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}")/" != "$_top/"* ) ]] || { echo "ADMIN-MERGE ABORTED: plugin root unresolved or inside this checkout"; exit 5; }
+   SHA=$(gh pr view <N> --json headRefOid --jq .headRefOid)
+   bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/admin-merge-ready.sh" <N> "$SHA" --green-sha "$G"
+   ```
+
+   `--green-sha` certifies `$SHA` only if it is a verified 2-parent GitHub merge whose first parent is `G` and whose second parent is an ancestor-or-equal of `origin/<base>` — then grades `G`'s required contexts. A `gh pr update-branch` merge always has this shape; any head that isn't a merge, has a different first parent, or merged anything that isn't on the base is refused (`carryover-not-merge` / `carryover-first-parent` / `carryover-not-base`). A **locally-created** merge is unsigned and is refused as `carryover-unverified` UNLESS you also pass `--allow-local-merge` (#9401): the second arm then replaces the signature with a diff proof — every file the merge added over `G` must be a byte-identical replay of the base-side delta (`compare(G…SHA)` ⊆ `compare(G…parents[1])` on name+status+patch), docs-only (`knowledge-base/`, `docs/`, `plugins/soleur/skills/`, `*.md`), and disjoint from the PR's own file list. Note the disjoint-skip's own path needs NO carryover at all — the hook left the green head alone, so `admin-merge-ready.sh <N> <G>` grades `G` directly and `--admin --match-head-commit <G>` lands it; `--allow-local-merge` is the rescue for a hand-made local merge (and it can never certify a hook-produced sync merge — that delta overlaps the PR's files by construction, so `-overlap` refuses). A refusal (`carryover-local-not-clean` / `-nondocs` / `-overlap`, or `carryover-unverified` without the flag) is not an error — it means wait for the new head's own suite like the normal path.
+3. Steps 3–5 of the hatch apply verbatim: sync local, merge block with `--match-head-commit "$SHA"`, decide from the exit code.
+
+Three traps; the first two were measured on #8639 (`G`=`d1474536cd`):
+
+- **Never force-push the branch back to `G`** to get a fresh signed `gh pr update-branch` merge. The push fires a new `pull_request` `synchronize` on `G`, the update-branch push then cancels those runs, and `admin-merge-ready.sh` grades the LATEST run per context — so `G` now reads red (`failed=[…cancelled…]`). The certificate is destroyed by your own action.
+- **Run the `gh pr merge --admin --match-head-commit` from a DETACHED worktree** at `$SHA` (`git worktree add --detach <dir> "$SHA"`). On a branch checkout that is behind `origin/main`, `.claude/hooks/pre-merge-rebase.sh` merges `origin/main` and pushes before the merge, which moves the head and makes `--match-head-commit` refuse ("Head branch was modified"). Since #8778 the hook reads PR `<N>`'s head from GitHub and auto-syncs ONLY when the session's working directory is PR `<N>`'s own branch checkout (at or ahead of its head); from a detached worktree, the repo root, or any other checkout it skips the sync and reports that in `additionalContext`. So `cd <dir> && gh pr merge <N> --admin --match-head-commit "$SHA"` works in one call, including from a subagent or a Devin session, as long as the number follows `gh pr merge` directly. What still moves the head is running it from the PR's own branch checkout — and the hook judges the SESSION's anchored directory, not where an in-command `cd` lands, so when the session is anchored on the PR's checkout the one-call form still syncs — **but only when the incoming `origin/main` delta overlaps the PR's file set**: since #9401 a provably disjoint delta is announced (`delta disjoint` in `additionalContext`) and skipped, so on a disjoint delta even the PR's own checkout leaves the green head alone. Anchor the session in the detached worktree first (a separate `cd <dir>` call), then merge. **Why:** PR #9048 — `cd <detached> && gh pr merge` from a session anchored on the PR worktree synced main in twice, costing two CI cycles.
+- **Certify `G` only when nothing on `G` is queued or in progress.** Once `gh pr update-branch` moves the head past `G`, `.github/workflows/cancel-superseded-pr-runs.yml` cancels any run still in flight on `G` (a re-run, a slow job), and `admin-merge-ready.sh` then reads that context as `cancelled`.
+
+Two boundaries survive operator authorization, by construction: **UNTRUSTED-CI** (a PR editing `.github/workflows/` or `.github/actions/` has no agent admin-merge path — the operator merges it by hand, because the PR's own runs can mint any required context) and **DIRTY** (`--admin` cannot execute on an unmergeable PR at all).
+
+**UNTRUSTED-CI is announced at mark-ready (ship Phase 6.5 CI Status Check), not here.** Such a PR still merges through the normal queued auto-merge; only the agent `--admin` fallback is missing. The check uses `--no-renames` so a moved workflow counts, matching `admin-merge-ready.sh`'s `previous_filename` test. **Why:** #8611, #8683.
+
+If `G`'s checks went red between certification and now (a re-run on the old sha), the gate sees it — the runs are re-read fresh, and a `FAILED` there is a real refusal, not a stale artifact.
+
+**Expected side effect (RETIRED by #5806 / ADR-217): an admin-merge now DEPLOYS.** This paragraph used to say the post-merge `web-platform-release` run goes RED with `deploy: skipped`, because `await-ci` polled for CI's `test` green on the squash SHA, timed out on an admin-merge, and skipped the prod `deploy`. **`await-ci` no longer exists.** `web-platform-release.yml` is now split across two triggers: the `push` arm builds and publishes (`release` job only), and a `workflow_run` arm fires **on `CI` completion** and carries the whole deploy chain (`resolve-target` → `migrate` → `verify-migrations` → `verify-doppler-secrets` → `deploy` → `live-verify`).
+
+An admin-merge bypasses branch protection, not CI: the squash commit still lands on `main`, `ci.yml` still runs on it, and when that run completes the `workflow_run` trigger fires. **So the deploy DOES happen — it just happens later than the push-arm build, once CI concludes.** There is nothing to wave away here:
+
+- **If merge-commit CI concludes `success`:** the deploy arm fires and cuts prod over to this commit. Treat it as an ordinary deploy — verify it under `wg-after-a-pr-merges-to-main-verify-all` like any other (deploy job `success`, `deploy-arm.sh served` → `CONTAINS`). Do NOT dismiss a red deploy-arm run as "expected"; under this topology a red deploy arm is a **real deploy failure**.
+- **If merge-commit CI concludes `failure`:** the deploy arm still fires (the trigger is `completed`, not `success`), and `resolve-target` refuses it with a **clean skip** (`skip_reason=ci_not_green`) — the deploy-arm run concludes **green** having deployed nothing. A green release run is therefore no longer proof that prod moved; read `resolve-target`'s `should_deploy` / `skip_reason`, or the `deploy` job's own conclusion. Prod keeps the prior commit. Fix `main`; do not re-run the release. **You will also get a non-delivery email for this state** — `ci_not_green` is classified as a real non-delivery by `release-outcome`, not as "nothing was due", because main advanced and production did not. That email is expected here and is not a second fault to chase.
+- **If `resolve-target` goes red with `skip_reason=release_run_missing`** (the `::error::` annotation carries `[skip_reason=release_run_missing]`): the head commit touched deployable paths, or its diff could not be computed, but no push-arm release run could be found for it after 4 lookups over two reads — most likely GitHub's run search is lagging. Slack and the non-delivery email both fire. Recover with `gh run rerun <deploy-arm-run> --failed` (wait ~15 minutes and retry if it fails the same way). If it keeps failing, check `gh run list -w web-platform-release.yml --event push -c <sha>`: a listed run means keep re-running; none means GitHub's path filter dropped the push (e.g. a diff over its 3,000-file limit), so dispatch the release. Before 2026-09-24 this state was a silent green `no_release_run` skip (ADR-217, §3 addendum).
+- **Two runs per merge is normal.** `event=workflow_run` is the deploy arm, `event=push` the build. Find the deploy arm with `deploy-arm.sh find <full-merge-sha>`, never a `head_sha=` query or `--limit 1`: a deploy-arm run's `head_sha` is `main`'s tip when it fired, so it misses your arm and returns the previous merge's. See `postmerge/SKILL.md` Phase 3.7.
+
+The zero-conflict-surface scoping of this hatch is still what makes it safe — but the reason is now "CI verifies the squash commit before the deploy arm fires", not "the deploy never happens". See `knowledge-base/project/learnings/best-practices/2026-06-29-admin-merge-skips-deploy-via-await-ci-gate.md` (PR #5707) **and its 2026-09-09 addendum**, which records the retirement.
