release(v18): the version-pr lane refuses the major boundary at Validate the post-version tree, so #21988 never refreshes into 18.0.0-next.0 — wire the lane's major-only gates in, and stop prerelease cuts re-dating the last GA

Ruled: 6049734955 · letters Q1 B · Q2 A · Q3 B · 2026-10-08T00:41Z

This card carries the version-lane half of #22080's opening: the route by which 18.0.0-next.0 is actually cut once pre mode is in. #22080 keeps its own half, pre mode plus the one major marker, as PR #22084. Its After-it-lands line ("changesets/action refreshes #21988 into the prerelease version PR") is what this card makes true.

Filed by PM seat domain:devx#2 (session_01VF48aw8RPG6wzDnMgp6rtw) as an in-flight derivative of #22080. Per the execution duties, it inherits #22080's domain (domain:devx), priority (p1) and target:v18, and this seat dispatches it directly. ⛔ Not a claim; the claim follows.

Filing gate: ① a measured defect with a named producer. reach: named producer: release.yml's version-pr job (cron 0 */6 * * *), step Validate the post-version tree (:518 on main 3d9188502e). It exits 1 at :610–:613 on the first refresh after #22084 merges.
Reader: this seat's next dispatch, now.
Dedupe: the 435 most recently updated issues (state=all, REST page loop, PRs excluded), titles and bodies grepped for post-version tree|MAJOR_ONLY|major boundary|version-pr|18\.0\.0-next|release-index-currency|cut-rc. That gives 5 hits: #22080, #9139, #22050, #21993 and #21772. None wires the lane for the boundary. Dedupe words: version-pr major boundary; Validate the post-version tree; MAJOR_ONLY unvalidated; release index currency prerelease date.

What was measured (PR #22084's dev, report `6039596838`. The seat re-read the `release.yml` and `cut-rc.yml` lines cited; the rest is the dev's throwaway reading)

In a throwaway worktree at chore(release): enter Changesets pre mode (next) with one major marker, so v18 opens at 18.0.0-next.0 #22084's head 52f7a509c6, never committed, the full root version script exits 0 and puts all 69 fixed members at 18.0.0-next.0. The script is changeset version, sync-protocol-version, sync-template-versions, sync-docs-image-tags and sync-release-index-currency.
Replaying the step's shape assertion on that tree finds 0 unexpected paths, but MAJOR_ONLY is non-empty:
- packages/spec/src/kernel/protocol-version.ts, '17.0.0' → '18.0.0';
- packages/create-objectstack/src/templates/blank/ objectstack.config.ts, objectstack.manifest.json and package.json.
- The step prints this version pass crossed a MAJOR boundary and wrote the surfaces above, which this lane has no gate for … Wire them in before letting this refresh through. and exits 1 (:610–:613).
- The changesets/action step that would refresh chore: version packages (next) #21988 does not run.
cut-rc.yml is no route either: it refuses any version not shaped X.Y.Z-rc.N (:156–:159) and any pre.json tag but rc (:232–:237).
Same throwaway: scripts/sync-release-index-currency.mjs rewrote the v17 entry in content/docs/releases/index.mdx from released 2026-10-06 to released 2026-10-07, the cut's date. 17.7.0's version commit 4e4e881427 is dated 2026-10-06. In pre mode the newest GA does not move, so every prerelease cut would re-date the last GA.

The route (the seat's call, not re-rulable here)

#22050's ruling 6037890422, verbatim: "Once the opening lands, changesets/action turns it into the prerelease version PR." So the version PR is the ruled route, and this card wires it. ⛔ cut-rc.yml is not extended (that would be a second route the ruling did not name).

Done when

A version pass that crosses the major boundary passes Validate the post-version tree. The step now validates each MAJOR_ONLY surface instead of refusing it: the protocol-version lockstep and the blank template's render, using gates the lane or the repo already has. The refusal stays for any major-only path still unvalidated.
sync-release-index-currency does not re-date the newest GA entry on a prerelease cut. This is pinned in its own battery.
Pin, in the PR body: the full root version script plus the step's replayed assertion, on a throwaway tree carrying chore(release): enter Changesets pre mode (next) with one major marker, so v18 opens at 18.0.0-next.0 #22084's pre.json and major changeset (or on main once chore(release): enter Changesets pre mode (next) with one major marker, so v18 opens at 18.0.0-next.0 #22084 merges). It exits 0 at 18.0.0-next.0, and the release index's v17 date is unchanged.
Measured and reported, not edited: on the first prerelease, sync-docs-image-tags moves the docs image pins (docker/README.md, content/docs/deployment/self-hosting.mdx, content/docs/upgrading.mdx) from 17.7.0 to 18.0.0-next.0 while npm latest stays 17.7.0. If keeping them on the GA during the next line needs a choice, it goes in the report's open_questions.
⛔ No publish, no tag, no workflow_dispatch of any release workflow, ⛔ no merge of chore: version packages (next) #21988, ⛔ no edit to cut-rc.yml, ⛔ no hand edit of content/docs/releases/**.

Box intake (triage): the labels stand (priority:p1 · domain:devx · target:v18). This is the v18 opening's version-lane half, and release-priority. The decision is the seat's 6040990462 (Q1–Q3). It carries the four-facet block and Prior rulings read:, but it has no 「维护者速读」 heading. The seat adds one line of 维护者速读 in business language above Q1, so the director can present it as is. PR #22095 carries the measured half and needs no ruling. ⛔ #21988 stays unmerged until the version lane is ruled and #22084 lands.

Release: claim 6039719850 (session_01VF48aw8RPG6wzDnMgp6rtw, os-justin) is released by its own holder at partial landing.

Landed: Done-when 2 (a prerelease cut no longer re-dates the newest GA; battery H) and 4 (the docs image-tag move, measured in 6040836373). Also the template half of Done-when 1: the blank template's three major-boundary stamps are validated on the version-pr lane instead of refused.
Remainder, and where it goes: the protocol half of Done-when 1, and Done-when 3 (the boundary replay exiting 0).

Ruling: batch #286 item 1 · letters Q1 B · Q2 A · Q3 B · maintainer 「22082 22085 同意」 2026-10-08T00:37Z

Director seat, summon #35, session_01VYToj6PQehTEKNrjGM9akg (GitHub os-zhuang; written as objectstack-fleet[bot] via the relay). Batch #286 was presented in chat with the domain:devx#2 seat's three questions (6040990462) and their options; the maintainer answered 「22082 22085 同意」, which takes every recommendation. Freshness gate: the body and all seven comments (newest 6043742559, the partial landing of PR #22095 at 8a925b3b47, whose Release: line cleared the assignee) were re-read before this record; nothing newer exists. PR #22084 (pre mode plus one major marker) is still open, ready and green, waiting on the maintainer's merge; #21988 is unmerged. Thread-read: 6043742559.

The ruling

Q1 → B. The protocol major moves in an ordinary pull request that runs the full CI, not in the version pass. That pull request sets PROTOCOL_VERSION to 18, regenerates the two generated documents (spec-changes.json, the protocol upgrade guide's 17 → 18 section), rewrites the in-repo ^17 handshakes (examples, docs snippets, fixtures) to ^18, and gives the lockstep test one narrow exception: in pre mode with a pending major, the protocol major may equal the major about to be published. ⛔ Not taken: A (the version script rewriting handshakes and regenerating documents inside a bot pull request that runs no CI, the shape sync-protocol-version.mjs's own note on fix(spec): PROTOCOL_VERSION 13.0.0 → 14.0.0 — re-lockstep with the released major #2769 warns against) and D (the protocol staying 17 through the whole next line, so a kernel that installed 18 would still shake hands as 17 for months). The constant lives in packages/spec, so the work is the domain:spec lane's card, filed by the domain:devx seat in execution; its first measurements are the cli fixtures declaring ^17 and whether ADR-0120 协议 18 项:D2 conversion(声明索引 unique: true → 'global')+ 裸 true 硬拒 + synonym pin 退役 —— 挂 18 列车,现在勿动工 #5082's 17 → 18 conversions may take effect before C8.
Q2 → A. The v18 release page exists before the first prerelease. A short landing page at /docs/releases/v18 (the line's purpose and the rule for its breaking stages), registered in meta.json, so the pointer protocol-version-gap.ts already sends @next installers to has a page behind it; check:release-notes keeps its semantics. ⛔ Not taken: B (the gate counting only GA headings, with the CLI's link answering 404 through the next line). The page belongs to the release side (content/docs/releases/** is not a code pull request's to touch); who writes it, the maintainer or this seat on the maintainer's word, is settled in chat and recorded on this card.
Q3 → B. During the next line, the documented image and install versions follow the newest GA, not the prerelease. In pre mode sync-docs-image-tags and check-docs-image-tag pin the newest GA (read from the CHANGELOG, the same way the GA is already judged); outside pre mode nothing changes. ⛔ Not taken: A (self-hosting and upgrade documents reading 18.0.0-next.N while npm latest and the published image stay 17.7.0, so a production user copying the documents is led into the breaking prerelease line).

Why these three on the first axis: the release lane renders version numbers; a change of protocol, gate or document semantics is a reviewed pull request, as ADR-0087 D6 already frames the next channel (every major goes to next at least one RC cycle before latest). No new gate and no new version-time rewriter: one lockstep condition, one pair of rewriter-and-gate conditions, one short page.

State

Q1: the protocol major	B: an ordinary PR with full CI	#22130 (`domain:spec`, `priority:p1`, `protocol:breaking`, `pm:queue`), filed for the spec seat	Lands after PR #22084. Its lockstep exception keys on pre mode.
Q2: the v18 release page	A: the page exists before the first prerelease	A release-side action: a short page at `/docs/releases/v18`, registered in `meta.json`. The maintainer or the director seat writes it, as settled in chat.	⛔ Not this seat's: `content/docs/releases/**` is not a code PR's to touch.

What remains on this card:

Done-when 1, protocol half: met when spec(v18): move PROTOCOL_VERSION 17 → 18 in an ordinary pull request with full CI: regenerate spec-changes.json and the 17 → 18 upgrade-guide section, rewrite the in-repo ^17 handshakes, and give the lockstep test one pre-mode exception (#22085 Q1) #22130 lands.
Done-when 3: met when release(v18): in pre mode, sync-docs-image-tags and check-docs-image-tag pin the documented image and install versions to the newest GA, not 18.0.0-next.N (#22085 Q3) #22131 lands and the Q2 page exists. A version-pr refresh on that main that passes Validate the post-version tree is the reading.

This seat closes the card on that reading. The card stays pm:dispatched to this seat until then.

- Its at-tier contract review passed (6071129819).
- Its own status note says not to merge it until the two generated documents take in the step-18 semantic entry that PR feat(metadata-core,metadata-protocol,metadata,platform-objects,spec)!: sys_view_definition retires as inert (ADR-0131 D13, C5 stage S1) #22374 added. That regeneration is the spec seat's.
- Then the merge is the maintainer's.
Q2: the v18 release page. content/docs/releases/ on main still has no v18 entry (meta.json lists v17 first). It is the maintainer's or the director seat's to write, as settled.

The scheduled Release run 37971535462 on 9411faa1ba (after PR #22215) still fails Version PR maintenance at "Validate the post-version tree". Its log, read this round, now names one gate only:

pnpm check:release-notes: "content/docs/releases/v18.mdx (or content/docs/releases/v18/index.mdx) is missing. @objectstack/spec shipped a 18.x release but there is no curated release page. Write it (lead with breaking changes + migration), then add "v18" to content/docs/releases/meta.json."
Every other post-version gate in that step passed, including check-release-page-status and check-release-section-coverage for v16 and v17.

So the major-boundary refusal this card was filed for is gone. What remains is this card's own event 2: write the v18 release page and add "v18" to meta.json. That page is the maintainer-side event already listed. Once it lands, the next scheduled run should refresh PR #21988.

- The v18 line cannot cut 18.0.0-next.0 until that page and its meta.json entry exist. The ruling asks for a short landing page: the line's purpose and the rule for its breaking stages.
- It is back on triage's maintainer list.
This amends my R302 and R303 round records. They put the release's wait on this card as if a dispatched seat would land the page. The page is the maintainer's or the director's.

The v18 release page now has a card: release(v18): write the /docs/releases/v18 landing page, the one gate left on the v18 version lane (#22085) #22919 (priority:p1, domain:devx, pm:queue). The maintainer directed it verbatim: 「开卡写 v18 发布页」.
This settles the "who writes it" that ruling 6049734955 (Q2 → A) left to the maintainer. The page is release-owned channel 1, approved on that card.
My re-check 6101079499 said the page was "the maintainer's or the director's". From here it is release(v18): write the /docs/releases/v18 landing page, the one gate left on the v18 version lane (#22085) #22919's, and that card's PR is the one this lane's version-PR gate waits on.
After release(v18): write the /docs/releases/v18 landing page, the one gate left on the v18 version lane (#22085) #22919 merges, the next scheduled release.yml run should pass "Validate the post-version tree". release(v18): write the /docs/releases/v18 landing page, the one gate left on the v18 version lane (#22085) #22919's holder records that run here.

The first scheduled release.yml run after the v18 landing page landed (PR docs(releases): the v18 landing page — the page check:release-notes needs before 18.0.0-next.0, behind the URL the CLI's @next pointer names #22928, f86a10d57): run 38212422606 (schedule, 06:25Z, e23eccb164). Job Version PR maintenance → step Validate the post-version tree → red on a new signature: unexpected: skills/<name>/SKILL.md × 10, "the version pass wrote outside the reviewed post-version surface". Read through MCP get_job_logs on job 114689361348.
check:release-notes was not reached. In that step the shape check (UNEXPECTED … exit 1) runs before the content half (run_gate … check:release-notes), and the log shows no run_gate output before the exit. So the v18 page's effect on the real post-version tree is still NOT MEASURED. The only reading remains release(v18): write the /docs/releases/v18 landing page, the one gate left on the v18 version lane (#22085) #22919's pre-merge simulation: red without the page, green with it.
The version pass itself ran to the end. check-skill-compatibility-version --fix rewrote 10 SKILL.md files (@objectstack/spec 17.x → 18.x, metadata.version "17.7.0" → "18.0.0-next.0"), and sync-docs-image-tags and sync-release-index-currency rewrote nothing.
The new signature is release(v18): the version pass now rewrites skills/*/SKILL.md (PR #22692's check-skill-compatibility-version.mjs --fix) outside the declared post-version surface, so Validate the post-version tree refuses and #21988 cannot refresh to 18.0.0-next.0 #22970 (p1, domain:devx), and this seat claims it now. The reading owed here moves to the first scheduled run after release(v18): the version pass now rewrites skills/*/SKILL.md (PR #22692's check-skill-compatibility-version.mjs --fix) outside the declared post-version surface, so Validate the post-version tree refuses and #21988 cannot refresh to 18.0.0-next.0 #22970 lands. That run is the first to execute the content half, check:release-notes included, on a real 18.0.0-next.0 tree.

The page gate is green; a new gate is red. With the v18 page on main (PR docs(releases): the v18 landing page — the page check:release-notes needs before 18.0.0-next.0, behind the URL the CLI's @next pointer names #22928), the scheduled run 38212422606 (2026-10-12T06:25Z) passes check:release-notes. It now fails Validate the post-version tree on the treadmill guard: ten unexpected: skills/*/SKILL.md paths.
Cause: PR feat(skills): derive the compatibility majors and metadata.version from the workspace version #22692 (2026-10-11) added check-skill-compatibility-version.mjs --fix to the version script, without adding its paths to the declaration the guard reads.
Filed as release(v18): the version pass now rewrites skills/*/SKILL.md (PR #22692's check-skill-compatibility-version.mjs --fix) outside the declared post-version surface, so Validate the post-version tree refuses and #21988 cannot refresh to 18.0.0-next.0 #22970 (p1, domain:devx, pm:queue): the script exports its written paths, release.yml and cut-rc.yml read them as a fourth list, and the judging gate runs in the content half.
This card's Done-when 1 ("a version pass that crosses the major boundary passes Validate the post-version tree") waits on release(v18): the version pass now rewrites skills/*/SKILL.md (PR #22692's check-skill-compatibility-version.mjs --fix) outside the declared post-version surface, so Validate the post-version tree refuses and #21988 cannot refresh to 18.0.0-next.0 #22970.

#23025 was filed for the same moment as this card, from a different producer. On a tree whose packages/spec/package.json reads 18.0.0-next.0 (the first pre-mode version pass), packages/spec/src/conversions/retired-after.census.test.ts throws not a stable x.y.z version from its triple() on the package label: 3 of 5 tests red, measured by #23001's dev with the label mutated and restored. That reds Test Core on the Version Packages PR, and then on every PR. Also, a retirement landing under 18.0.0-next.N has no legal retiredAfter stamp. If this card's version-lane work replays the post-version tree's test suites, #23025 is what it meets first.

The first scheduled release.yml run after PR ci(release): the post-version guard admits the SKILL.md stamps through stampedSkillPaths() #22980 (340eab79a): run 38248321615 (schedule, 12:19Z, 4267484fe5) concluded success.
- Job Version PR maintenance: "Validate the post-version tree" is success, and "Create or update the "chore: version packages" PR" is success.
- With the fourth list stampedSkillPaths() in place, the shape check admitted the version pass's 10 SKILL.md stamps. The content half, which had never run on a real 18.0.0-next.0 tree, passed for the first time, check:release-notes included (the v18 landing page, PR docs(releases): the v18 landing page — the page check:release-notes needs before 18.0.0-next.0, behind the URL the CLI's @next pointer names #22928 f86a10d57).

- the spec CHANGELOG's first heading is ## 18.0.0-next.0 (then ## 17.7.0);
- the version commit carries the 10 skills/*/SKILL.md stamps.
This closes the readings release(v18): write the /docs/releases/v18 landing page, the one gate left on the v18 version lane (#22085) #22919 and release(v18): the version pass now rewrites skills/*/SKILL.md (PR #22692's check-skill-compatibility-version.mjs --fix) outside the declared post-version surface, so Validate the post-version tree refuses and #21988 cannot refresh to 18.0.0-next.0 #22970 owed here.

Publish Smoke has been red on every release-candidate run since #21988 refreshed to 18.0.0-next.0.

publish-smoke.yml smokes changeset-release/main while the release PR is open.
Last green: run 38247570907 at 12:12Z (after the Release run on 4267484fe5, before the refresh).
First red: run 38248923046 at 12:25Z, on the same main sha, right after the 12:19Z scheduled release.yml refreshed chore: version packages (next) #21988 (head d85ff7ce22).
Every completed run since is red, through 38290728001 at 18:24Z; changeset-release/main is now at 9a73a93f1c.
Signature: job Packed-tarball smoke (release candidate), step Build, @objectstack/spec#build exits 1. Read on runs 38284116253, 38274725152 and 38290728001. The log shows build-schemas.ts reaching the [System] section and then stopping, with no error text before turbo's pnpm run build exited (1).
The cause is not established here. The seat did not build the candidate tree.
Why it matters: a red candidate smoke means the next candidate is not smoked. That lands on this card's lane or on the release side, not on this seat.

That reading said the spec build stopped after [System] "with no error text". That is wrong. The message is printed after turbo's own ERROR lines (job 115058075855, log lines 2371–2466): ❌ 10 authorable key(s) changed the DEFAULT they apply when the author omits them, exit at packages/spec/scripts/build-schemas.ts:3352.

Cause: the default-change ratchet admitted DEFAULT_CHANGES_BY_MAJOR rows only at the build's major. The version pass rolls the build to 18, while the depth-1 smoke's baseline is 85c6d76ec42a (spec 17.4.0) and the ten keys are declared under 17.
Fix: release(next): Publish Smoke fails to build @objectstack/spec on the version PR's branch (changeset-release/main, 18.0.0-next.0), 5 of 5 runs since 23:16Z #23113 → PR fix(spec): the default-change ratchet authorises from the baseline major, so the version branch major roll stops refusing rows declared under 17 #23123 (seat ACCEPT 6136034110), which authorises from the baseline's major up to the build's. Proof (b) on 9a73a93f1 with the patch: the spec build is green and the smoke's Build step runs 73/73.
Next reading: the Publish Smoke run after PR fix(spec): the default-change ratchet authorises from the baseline major, so the version branch major roll stops refusing rows declared under 17 #23123 lands, on this card's thread and on release(next): Publish Smoke fails to build @objectstack/spec on the version PR's branch (changeset-release/main, 18.0.0-next.0), 5 of 5 runs since 23:16Z #23113.

The old branch's last pushed head was 877ddea5ef. It landed through the queue as 8a925b3b47 (record 6043742559), and the branch is deleted on the remote.
Status at takeover: every item this card waits on has landed. The closing reading was taken before this act, by seat 1 (6124513214). So no dev is dispatched. The verification and closure follow in this seat's next comment.

domain:devx seat 2 · session_01B7mrh59UAGffd7s9asUfoY (takeover claim 6163647355). The seat re-read each item below on GitHub and on origin/main b5b1bf7277, not from earlier comments.

The closing reading 6050401335 names, re-read now:

Run 38248321615 (Release, schedule, 2026-10-12T12:19Z, on 4267484fe5) concluded success. In job Version PR maintenance, "Render the post-version tree", "Validate the post-version tree" and "Create or update the "chore: version packages" PR" all concluded success.
git merge-base --is-ancestor says 4267484fe5 carries both events the card waited on:
- Q1, PR feat(spec)!: PROTOCOL_VERSION 17 → 18 in an ordinary PR — regenerated spec-changes.json and upgrade guide, ^18 handshakes, pre-mode lockstep exception (#22085 Q1 → B) #22215 → 4e9fe9ff6a (spec(v18): move PROTOCOL_VERSION 17 → 18 in an ordinary pull request with full CI: regenerate spec-changes.json and the 17 → 18 upgrade-guide section, rewrite the in-repo ^17 handshakes, and give the lockstep test one pre-mode exception (#22085 Q1) #22130);
- Q2, PR docs(releases): the v18 landing page — the page check:release-notes needs before 18.0.0-next.0, behind the URL the CLI's @next pointer names #22928 → f86a10d57 (the /docs/releases/v18 page, release(v18): write the /docs/releases/v18 landing page, the one gate left on the v18 version lane (#22085) #22919).
Q3 landed earlier: release(v18): in pre mode, sync-docs-image-tags and check-docs-image-tag pin the documented image and install versions to the newest GA, not 18.0.0-next.N (#22085 Q3) #22131 → PR fix(scripts): in Changesets pre mode the doc image and install pins follow the newest GA, not the prerelease #22134 → ec8f37c890.

Done when, item by item:

The boundary passes the step: yes, on the run above. The template half landed in PR fix(release): judge the major-boundary template stamps on the version-pr lane, and stop prerelease cuts re-dating the last GA #22095 (8a925b3b47). The protocol half needed no gate in the step after Q1 moved the constant in an ordinary PR.
A prerelease cut does not re-date the newest GA: yes. The refreshed version PR chore: version packages (next) #21988 merged as d889448b93. On origin/main, packages/spec/package.json reads 18.0.0-next.0, and content/docs/releases/index.mdx still reads "current series: 17.7.0, released 2026-10-06". That is the date of 17.7.0's version commit 4e4e881427.
The boundary replay exits 0: the scheduled run above is the reading 6050401335 set for this item. It is a real version pass, not a throwaway replay.
The image-tag move: measured in 6040836373, and ruled Q3 → B (6049734955). Q3 carried it.
Prohibitions: this card's lane did not publish, tag, dispatch a release workflow, edit cut-rc.yml or hand-edit content/docs/releases/**. chore: version packages (next) #21988 was merged by the release side, not here.

In this act: the card closes completed, and pm:dispatched comes off in the same write. target:v18 stays on the closed card, as a record.
