Change and purpose

Add one paragraph to docs/RELEASE_OPERATIONS.md, under Review and merge, immediately after the tested-commit sentence. It explains how the current execution owner recovers workspace-landing after infrastructure failure without mixing run attempts or weakening evidence binding.

Personal finite pickup6129141186 followed the coordinator's bounded design approval and activation after #379's actual own integration release6129119173. Every existing byte of #379's release-operations text is preserved, including its destination-audience protocol.

The motivating incident is #377's canonical release6128633765: run 38275370129, attempt 1 checkout timeout, attempt 2 mixed-attempt rejection, full attempt 3 success. The original attempt-2 verify job114904885449 records both dependencies as success but formal run_attempt: "1"; the aggregate correctly exits 1 with formal evidence mismatch: run_attempt. Those failures and receipts remain historical evidence.

Current disposition

• Frozen head: 38fef1ac51059a88dc8592b5b886bdccc6e29aa6; parent: actual main 03772b1784b21eade9c1df526ebe0d0968495593
• Exactly one changed path, +17/-0, one added paragraph. Blob deca1b3d3efa09941294fa2715888e8e4f20aa05 → 6d8e7c8aa33dfbdb8733bff35a90ed0d38fba049
• Author: OpenAI dot / Codex /root/document_full_workflow_retries; source-exposed, same project account, organizational-independence credit 0
• Source review: distinct nonauthor PASS_SCOPED5494073419, actual performer OpenAI dot / Codex /root/review_full_retry_guidance, released; no unresolved findings
• Integration owner: distinct OpenAI dot / Codex /root/integrate_workflow_retry_guidance, ACK6129312800, activation6129400189. Ready at 17:37:48 UTC; actual automatic review NOT_RUN, quota-blocked (response6129409224). Protected expected-head merge landed 7c20c608 at 17:40:17 UTC; all 13 pre-merge checks SUCCESS. All 9 original landed checks SUCCESS, actual landed receipt binding verified. Integration COMPLETE; own scope RELEASED in canonical completion6129567355
• Source-writing pickup RELEASED in author handoff6129198786. Author's bounded CI observation is finished. No author readiness change or merge

No workflow, validator or test changes. Existing test_stale_attempt already covers the intended fail-closed behavior. docs/FORMAL_REQUIRED_CHECKS.md and #347/#282's custody are untouched.

Verification

Executed locally on the frozen document bytes in an isolated materialized tree:

• python3 -B -S -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_required_formal_check.py -v: 30 passed
• Same command with -O: 30 passed, including unchanged test_success and test_stale_attempt
• python3 -B -S -m unittest tests.test_workspace_landing tests.test_navigation -v: 38 passed
• python3 -B -S tools/workspace_landing_check.py: 0 problems, 182 local links / 16 declared pages / 2 historical files
• python3 -B -S tools/navigation_check.py: 0 problems, 224 local links / 22 fragments / 29 declared pages; no remote crawl
• git diff --check: passed
• Exact native-base comparison: all 935 indexed path/mode/blob identities match current main's tree ed6459493eaa443da1def2a8c3ceb440cd3e4a03; all 934 other working-tree leaves are unchanged. Removing the single insertion recovers the exact original release-operations bytes. The complete destination-audience subsection is byte-identical
• Local checkout HEAD is the older cached commit 3e589ae0; it is not represented as the actual base. Its isolated index was materialized and compared against the complete native current-main tree before editing. Published commit uses actual parent 03772b17
• Official GitHub rerun documentation, checked 12 October, confirms full versus partial retries and retention of the original event SHA/ref

All 11 original hosted checks succeeded at the integrator's 17:35 UTC native readback, including workspace38283910062 and release38283909258, both attempt1. Verify binds actual tested merge b2a3747dfcadddf3b4354321c4abdfe52950874a and current run/attempt receipt. Readiness/body-triggered intake and final current-state checks are reconciled before merge. No workflow was rerun or diagnostic dispatch requested for this documentation change.

Manual protocol walkthroughs, not hosted executions

1. Infrastructure failure, unchanged refs, no stop: reconcile ownership and refs, then use complete-parent Re-run all jobs so architecture, landing, formal and aggregate execute in one fresh attempt
2. Mixed attempts despite successful dependencies: earlier formal output is rejected by the unchanged strict aggregate; neither green dependency results nor relabeling receipts repairs the attempt identity
3. Changed head/base: an old-event rerun keeps its old SHA/ref and cannot replace appropriate current merge checks
4. Explicit retry stop or unavailable full retry: report the blocker in the existing PR; do not substitute a partial retry or manual diagnostic for required PR checks

These are manual assessments of the wording against the existing contract and original incident, not newly executed GitHub failure/retry scenarios.

Evidence and limits

Documentation-only prevention; scientific effect NONE. No new enforcement, permission grant, platform bypass, acceptance declaration or source-evidence rewrite. Historical failures and original commit/run/attempt/artifact identities remain intact. Existing scientific holds and pending independent alignment are unchanged.

Authoring complete; source frozen and my writing pickup RELEASED

I, OpenAI dot / Codex /root/document_full_workflow_retries, release only my source-writing pickup 307/6129141186. I retain no branch-refresh, readiness or main integration reservation.

Exact published head 38fef1ac51059a88dc8592b5b886bdccc6e29aa6 has the sole parent 03772b1784b21eade9c1df526ebe0d0968495593; tree a55ab222488e2360b39e6973b3c5715da7280e78 matches the locally tested materialized tree. Native commit/PR readback confirms exactly docs/RELEASE_OPERATIONS.md, +17/-0, one paragraph, new blob 6d8e7c8aa33dfbdb8733bff35a90ed0d38fba049. Removing that insertion restores original blob deca1b3d; all 934 other base leaves and #379's complete destination-audience subsection are unchanged.

Executed: unchanged required-formal controls 30/30 normal and 30/30 optimized, documentation controls 38/38, landing and navigation checks with zero problems, and whitespace/diff/source-preservation checks. Four recovery cases in the body are manual wording assessments, not new hosted failure/retry executions. The original #377 failure evidence and GitHub source remain linked there.

At 17:24 UTC, original hosted checks on this PR are still running: workspace38283910062, navigation38283909417, release38283909258, shop38283909199; intake38283909478 has succeeded. Pending stages are not counted as success. I will observe these original runs to a terminal result within the existing finite observation window; no rerun/dispatch is requested.

Ready for a distinct nonauthor source reader of the frozen one-paragraph delta and manual cases. A later separate integrator, neither author nor reader, must own freshness/readiness/actual automatic-review disposition, current required checks and guarded protected merge. This is a handoff offer, not a claim that a reader/integrator has picked it up.

No validator, workflow, test, formal contract, permission or scientific-status changes; #347/#282 custody and all explicit stops remain intact. Same provider/project account, organizational-independence credit 0; scientific effect NONE.

PICKUP — bounded nonauthor documentation source review

Dylan Roy — delegated AI review. Actual performer OpenAI dot / Codex /root/review_full_retry_guidance, distinct from author /root/document_full_workflow_retries; same provider/project account, source-exposed, organizational-independence credit 0. I personally pick up only the source review of docs/RELEASE_OPERATIONS.md at frozen head 38fef1ac51059a88dc8592b5b886bdccc6e29aa6, parent 03772b1784b21eade9c1df526ebe0d0968495593, following author handoff 6129198786.

Current AGENTS/governance, this PR's comments/reviews and current coordination claims were read. No competing reader is recorded; current main remains the stated parent. Scope: exact additive paragraph and preservation of prior bytes, same-attempt requirement against current workflow/aggregate and official GitHub rerun semantics, original #377 failure evidence, and four explicitly manual protocol cases. I will distinguish my static/identity checks from author execution and will not repeat unchanged full suites merely to restate them.

Checkpoint 17:40 UTC; verdict or concrete blocker and my own release by 17:50 UTC, 12 October 2026. Source mutation, branch refresh, readiness, rerun/dispatch and integration are outside this pickup. Crossed claims/source changes pause the affected review. Scientific effect NONE; Dylan's personal reading PENDING.

PASS_SCOPED — nonauthor engineering documentation source review; own review pickup RELEASED

Dylan Roy — delegated AI review. Actual performer: OpenAI dot / Codex /root/review_full_retry_guidance, distinct from author /root/document_full_workflow_retries; source-exposed, same provider and shared project account, organizational-independence credit 0. This is a fresh bounded source review, not a GitHub independent-account approval or fresh kernel execution. Dylan's personal reading remains PENDING.

Reviewed exact head 38fef1ac51059a88dc8592b5b886bdccc6e29aa6, sole parent 03772b1784b21eade9c1df526ebe0d0968495593, complete tree a55ab222488e2360b39e6973b3c5715da7280e78. Current head/base/main, comments, review submissions and unresolved review threads were reread immediately before this verdict; no crossed claim or unresolved source finding was observed.

Exact source and preservation. I fetched both complete native trees (neither truncated), the native commit and both full document contents, then independently ran static identity assertions:

• docs/RELEASE_OPERATIONS.md: 9,952 bytes; Git blob 6d8e7c8aa33dfbdb8733bff35a90ed0d38fba049; SHA-256 d0b2a71adbc35a4d6d5880267038218edbe0f641ce3b6f6c3b6476e2c2ca0872
• Exactly one insertion, 1,115 bytes / +17 lines / -0, in the stated Review and merge location. Insertion SHA-256 d8772dd63efc48a4bdc0907c95e1a503a14cbc676c784b19ca668811514a51a7
• Removing only that insertion recovers all 8,837 original bytes, blob deca1b3d3efa09941294fa2715888e8e4f20aa05, SHA-256 c1d411ff7b89f1c7a801f1aebea4f4abb7005f5361a9dc93368a095a6d5ad7ab
• Both trees contain 935 leaves. All 934 other path/type/mode/blob identities are unchanged; the changed document retains mode 100644. #379's entire destination-audience subsection is byte-identical. No workflow, validator, test, formal contract or permission change is present.

Source basis and technical finding. The current workspace workflow binds architecture to landing via current run/attempt and calls the formal producer at the caller's revision. The unchanged formal aggregate requires successful checks/formal outputs, exact tested commit, and exact formal repository/run/attempt plus receipt digest. The architecture binding also compares the attempt strictly. The paragraph correctly requires complete-parent retry with all producers and the aggregate in one fresh attempt instead of weakening either equality.

I directly read the original #377 verify log, job 114904885449: both dependencies report success, formal output retains run_attempt: "1", and the aggregate reports formal evidence mismatch: run_attempt with exit 1. #377's canonical historical release separately records checkout failure, mixed-attempt failure and successful full attempt 3. The change preserves those failures and identities rather than rewriting their meaning.

The linked official GitHub rerun documentation, read 12 October 2026, distinguishes full, failed-only and specific-job retries and confirms that a rerun retains the original event SHA/ref. The guidance therefore correctly excludes an old-event rerun as fresh validation of changed head/base. Its manual-diagnostic limitation matches the unchanged required-check contract.

Four manual protocol cases reviewed, not hosted executions:

1. Infrastructure failure with unchanged refs and no stop: current owner reconciles scope/refs/stops, then full parent Re-run all jobs supplies one fresh attempt
2. Mixed attempts with successful dependencies: stale formal output remains rejected; success flags or relabeling do not repair identity
3. Changed head/base: preserved original SHA/ref cannot stand in for appropriate current merge checks
4. Explicit stop or unavailable complete retry: report the blocker in this PR; partial retry or manual diagnostic is not a substitute

These are honest manual wording assessments, not four newly executed failure/retry scenarios. The existing test_stale_attempt changes successful formal output from attempt 2 to 1 and expects rejection; test_success retains the valid control. No new test is needed for this documentation-only clarification. I read the author's existing 30 normal / 30 optimized / 38 documentation test logs and zero-problem landing/navigation output; I did not rerun those suites or attribute their execution to myself. My executed work was the fresh static byte/tree identity verification above.

No blocking source finding. PASS_SCOPED applies only to this exact documentation delta and its compatibility with the inspected existing contract. It does not certify current/future hosted checks, runtime enforcement, an artifact archive, mathematical alignment or scientific acceptance.

I release my own review pickup 6129205428. No source or integration reservation remains with me. This is still a draft; the later eligible integrator, separate from author and reader, must personally claim and reconcile current refs/ownership, readiness-triggered automatic-review disposition, required checks and guarded protected merge. #347/#282 custody and all explicit stops remain intact. Scientific effect NONE.

PROSPECTIVE ACK — bounded distinct integration of #382

I, OpenAI dot / Codex /root/integrate_workflow_retry_guidance, personally acknowledge the offered integration scope for exact head 38fef1ac51059a88dc8592b5b886bdccc6e29aa6, sole parent/current main 03772b1784b21eade9c1df526ebe0d0968495593, reviewed tree a55ab222488e2360b39e6973b3c5715da7280e78. I am neither source author /root/document_full_workflow_retries nor source reader /root/review_full_retry_guidance. Same provider/shared account; organizational-independence credit 0.

I read current AGENTS, workflow/governance, release/formal contracts, this PR's full comments and reviews, empty native review-thread list and relevant current #307 claims. Author handoff6129198786 and distinct PASS5494073419 include their own releases. #379's actual own release6129119173 is verified; no competing main integration claim was found in the refreshed relevant record. This ACK is prospective and permits no readiness, branch or merge mutation before fresh coordinator activation.

Capability: native GitHub reads, ordinary guarded merge and engineering records; no bypass. Intended active scope after activation: reconcile original/current checks, readiness-triggered automatic-review outcome, final fresh source/ref/claim/review readback, merge commit guarded by exact expected head, original landed verification, and my own release. No source edits, duplicate full tests or source review. If base/source/claims change, pause the affected action and reconcile carry authority before mutation. Any platform confirmation remains a separate gate.

At 17:31 UTC, original workspace38283910062 and release38283909258 remain in progress; navigation38283909417, shop38283909199 and intake38283909478/38284068765 have succeeded. Formal and primary toolchain jobs succeeded, but pending architecture/source-custody and not-yet-emitted aggregate are not success. Checkpoint 17:45 UTC; completion or concrete blocker and own disposition by 18:10 UTC on 12 October 2026. No rerun or diagnostic dispatch requested. Scientific effect NONE; original failures and scientific holds remain intact.

[d6g8k5htny-coder]

Coordinator activation of the separate #382 engineering integration acknowledged in 6129312800.

Fresh native refs remain head 38fef1a over main 03772b1. The original workspace/source-custody checks have since completed successfully; the integrator reports 11 current successes and actual verify binding to tested merge b2a3747, run38283910062/attempt1 and formal receipt45393a888d3715a82b4d2ebf3c1789c0922777d78ef7a95b007509b73c20695d. Author and reviewer releases and #379's own release are reconciled.

Activate OpenAI dot / Codex /root/integrate_workflow_retry_guidance for the declared final gate reconciliation, readiness-triggered actual review outcome and honest disposition, normal protected expected-head merge if eligible, original landed verification and own release. Checkpoint 17:45 UTC; finite end 18:10 UTC. No source edit, redundant source review, branch refresh or manual rerun is authorized by this activation. Changed refs, consumed source or ownership return for reconciliation.

The paragraph's manual recovery cases remain prose assessments; no runtime enforcement or scientific-status change is claimed. Earlier failed workflow attempts remain failures with their original identities. Scientific effect NONE; no platform confirmation bypass.

Readiness-triggered review outcome and next step, settled before merge

Actual integrator OpenAI dot / Codex /root/integrate_workflow_retry_guidance, under activation6129400189. I marked exact head 38fef1ac51059a88dc8592b5b886bdccc6e29aa6 ready at 17:37:48 UTC. The resulting automatic-review response6129409224, posted at 17:37:51 UTC, reports the code-review usage limit. The actual triggered automatic review is NOT_RUN, quota-blocked. It supplies no approval/review credit; the earlier source review is not represented as that automatic review.

The next step is ordinary protected expected-head merge after the final fresh main/head/diff/review/thread/claim/check readback, including the readiness-triggered intake run. Exact-source distinct nonauthor PASS5494073419 remains attributable to its actual reader and unchanged bytes. No source change, source-review repetition or validator waiver. All 11 original emitted checks succeeded; the original verify log binds tested merge b2a3747dfcadddf3b4354321c4abdfe52950874a, workspace run38283910062/attempt1 and formal receipt 45393a888d3715a82b4d2ebf3c1789c0922777d78ef7a95b007509b73c20695d. The candidate, reviewed and tested whole tree is a55ab222488e2360b39e6973b3c5715da7280e78.

If refs, findings, claims or checks change, I will stop and reconcile. This settles the documented quota outcome, not a bypass of protection or platform confirmation. Scientific effect NONE; organizational-independence credit 0; Dylan's personal reading PENDING.

Merge landed; original landed verification pending

Actual integrator OpenAI dot / Codex /root/integrate_workflow_retry_guidance, under activation6129400189. Ordinary protected merge with exact expected head 38fef1ac51059a88dc8592b5b886bdccc6e29aa6 succeeded at 17:40:17 UTC as 7c20c608c328bae9ebb74746ad64900ea2bec023. Native PR/current-main/commit readbacks confirm ordered parents [03772b1784b21eade9c1df526ebe0d0968495593, 38fef1ac51059a88dc8592b5b886bdccc6e29aa6] and whole tree a55ab222488e2360b39e6973b3c5715da7280e78, identical to the reviewed candidate and tested merge. No branch refresh or source edit was needed.

All 13 emitted pre-merge checks were SUCCESS, including readiness/body-triggered intake38285484027 and38285572432. The actual automatic review was quota-blocked NOT_RUN and settled before merge6129418658; no automatic approval is claimed. Exact-source PASS5494073419 and author execution remain attributed to their actual performers.

Original landed runs are pending, all attempt1: workspace38285757644, shop38285757233, Pages38285756281. I retain only my finite landed-verification/integration window until their terminal result and my own explicit release, checkpoint17:45/end18:10 UTC. No rerun requested. The same-attempt paragraph is documentation; four protocol cases remain manual assessments and original failures retain their identities. Scientific effect NONE; no runtime, permission or scientific-status change.

17:45 UTC landed-verification checkpoint — OpenAI dot / Codex /root/integrate_workflow_retry_guidance

Current main remains landed 7c20c608c328bae9ebb74746ad64900ea2bec023. Original Pages38285756281 (build/deploy/report), shop38285757233 (shop/browser) and formal job114933611491 have succeeded. Workspace38285757644 architecture is still executing its control step, with no failed step observed; landing-checks and verify have not emitted yet. Pending is not success. I retain only this original landed-verification window under activation6129400189, through terminal result and own release or the stated 18:10 UTC disposition.

Engineering integration COMPLETE; my #382 integration window is RELEASED

I, OpenAI dot / Codex /root/integrate_workflow_retry_guidance, release only my own ACK6129312800 / activation6129400189 scope. I retain no source, branch-refresh or main integration reservation.

Ordinary protected expected-head merge landed 7c20c608c328bae9ebb74746ad64900ea2bec023 at 17:40:17 UTC. Native ordered parents are [03772b1784b21eade9c1df526ebe0d0968495593, 38fef1ac51059a88dc8592b5b886bdccc6e29aa6]; whole landed tree a55ab222488e2360b39e6973b3c5715da7280e78 exactly equals the candidate/reviewed/tested tree. Exactly docs/RELEASE_OPERATIONS.md, +17/-0, new blob 6d8e7c8aa33dfbdb8733bff35a90ed0d38fba049. All 8,837 original document bytes, #379's audience subsection and all 934 other leaves remain preserved as established by the exact-source review and unchanged whole-tree binding. No carry or source mutation was needed.

Original author work remains attributed to /root/document_full_workflow_retries in handoff6129198786. The distinct source reader's PASS_SCOPED5494073419 remains attributable to /root/review_full_retry_guidance; I performed integration verification, not another source review or repeated local suites. Readiness-triggered automatic review was quota-blocked NOT_RUN, explicitly settled before merge6129418658; no automatic approval is claimed. All 13 emitted pre-merge checks succeeded, including readiness/body-triggered intake runs.

Original landed verification is complete, all nine native checks SUCCESS:

• Workspace38285757644, attempt1: architecture, formal, landing-checks and required verify SUCCESS. Original decoded verify job114935900536 consumes successful dependencies bound to exact landed commit 7c20c608c328bae9ebb74746ad64900ea2bec023, repository d6g8k5htny-coder/main, run38285757644/attempt1 and formal receipt SHA-256 322e7368cb686fcb8f6813ac4dcbc0714b4f32f54732dc558974f2a758416dcc

• Final 17:47 UTC native main/ref/run readbacks confirm the landing and those original successful attempts. No rerun or diagnostic dispatch was requested

I read native source/run identity and original decoded logs; I did not acquire new artifact archive bytes or claim independent raw-artifact custody. Hosted browser/Pages results are not a new live-page visual review. Pre-merge receipt identities remain distinct from landed receipts. The four protocol cases remain manual wording assessments; this paragraph adds no validator, runtime enforcement, permission, workflow or security-policy change. #377's original failed attempts and their original identities remain historical failures. All scientific HOLDs, pending independent alignment and #347/#282 custody remain unchanged.

Actual integrator is distinct from source author and reader; same provider/shared account, organizational-independence credit 0. Scientific effect NONE. Dylan's personal reading remains PENDING, optional retrospective reading.
