_verify_role_mutation_workspace dropped org/repo, so anti-stomp resolved bare
remote=prgs to Timesheet and failed closed wrong_repo on Gitea-Tools. Forward
explicit org/repo for merger/reviewer lease acquire, adopt, review, merge, and
lease release. Add regression for merger acquire forwarding.
Fixes#718
Refs #723
gitea_acquire_merger_pr_lease previously continued when GET /pulls returned
an empty head SHA. Fail closed so exact-head scoping never proceeds with an
unresolvable live head. Add regression coverage for empty head payloads.

Operator break-glass merge record
PR #680 was independently assessed at head `7c77df0c527f06ae4196e010e65537d361805a7b`.
* Gitea reports the PR open and mergeable.
* The focused anti-stomp suite passed: 43 tests.
* The technical review found the change approve-worthy.
* The previous approval is stale because it applies to an earlier head.
* A fresh formal approval could not be submitted because every MCP namespace remained bound to pre-#694 startup SHA `f65069d…`, while live master is `3e78db5…`.
This is an operator-authorized break-glass merge caused by stale MCP runtime parity, not an unresolved code finding. Proceeding with **Create merge commit** only if the PR head remains exactly `7c77df0c527f06ae4196e010e65537d361805a7b`, Gitea still reports it mergeable, and no new blocking checks or feedback appear.
Prevent approved PRs from stalling when master advances. Add
gitea_assess_pr_sync_status and gitea_update_pr_branch_by_merge with
head/base pinning, author-only updates, conflict handoff, and approval
invalidation after head changes. Wire task capability map, sequential
controller routing in review-merge workflow, and hermetic AC tests.

Operator break-glass merge of PR #679 authorized because the native MCP
gitea_adopt_merger_pr_lease path returned non-retryable internal_error
despite an authoritative active reviewer lease. PR #679 was formally
approved by Review #446 at exact head
78cc37a977 and was conflict-free and
mergeable. No LLM received credentials or used a direct API/CLI fallback.
Harden gitea_acquire_merger_pr_lease with required candidate_head, live-head
match, and fail-closed POST handling. Add capability-map aliases for reviewer
and merger lease acquire/adopt. Make unknown tasks return structured
unknown_task (no ValueError escape). Expand tests for roles, head scoping,
aliases, and unknown_task.
Closes#718. Addresses #723 resolver unknown_task and lease task mapping.
This implements the native merger lease acquisition tool to allow a merger session to acquire its own lease when a reviewer lease does not exist or has expired, unblocking #679 adoption.
Stale-runtime detection remains fail-closed, but gitea_resolve_task_capability
must never touch mcp_config.json, spawn recovery threads, or call os._exit.
- Remove _trigger_mcp_auto_restart from the read-only diagnostics path
- Return blocker_kind=runtime_reconnect_required with mutation_performed=false
- Keep exact_safe_next_action pointing at IDE/client reconnect when stale
- Add regression suite across author/reviewer/merger/reconciler profiles
EXCEPTIONAL OPERATOR-AUTHORIZED BREAK-GLASS RECOVERY - incident #722.
Commit 970e68b ("fix: adopt_merger_pr_lease requires merger role") was an
unreviewed direct push that flipped 11 task_capability_map.py entries to
role="merger" instead of the intended 1. Merger profiles forbid the review
permissions, so no configured profile could resolve review_pr / approve_pr /
request_changes_pr (matching_configured_profile was empty repository-wide)
and no fix PR could be formally reviewed. The operator resolved the catch-22
with a one-time break-glass authorization recorded on issue #722
(comment 11918); this commit is the authorized minimum and nothing more.
Changes:
- task_capability_map.py restored to blob 02826af (the preserved intended
correction, local commit c071f8a1): the 10 regressive entries return to
role="reviewer"; adopt_merger_pr_lease keeps role="merger"; merge_pr is
untouched.
- tests/test_task_capability_role_invariants.py added (#723 AC1/AC2):
profile-coverage invariant for formal review tasks, map/router agreement,
merger-only adopt_merger_pr_lease and merge_pr, merger profiles cannot
hold review permissions.
Validation: focused role-mapping tests 72 passed (+22 subtests); full suite
2900 passed, 6 skipped, 1 known warning, 195 subtests.
Recovery step 1 for incident #722; code-defect follow-ups tracked in #723.

Terminal review-decision ledgers are recovery-critical provenance, not
disposable session cache. A generic four-hour TTL previously made
fresh_review_on_current_head_allowed unreachable after age expiry on open
PRs (PR #616 / review 443 reproduction).
- Classify KIND_DECISION_LOCK as RECOVERY_CRITICAL so load/mark_final work
after >4h without hand-editing session-state files
- Stamp kind + recovery_critical on save for compatibility
- Add inspect_state_envelope so assessment reports on-disk evidence instead
of silent "no lock" when TTL would hide non-critical kinds
- Surface disk_inspect on stale decision-lock cleanup assessment
Preserves same-head #332 hard-stop, #620 head-scoped fresh review, #594
moot cleanup, and #709 irrecoverable authorization (no ordinary-profile
permission grant).
Require branch-scoped post-delete not-found (not generic/repo/host 404),
emit consistent top-level cleanup fields, fail closed on ownership inventory
errors, never auto-reclaim expired control-plane leases, include active
comment-backed reviewer leases, apply the same gates to reconcile_merged_cleanups,
and match ownership with normalized host identity.
Require authoritative not-found readback after merged-PR branch DELETE, and
block cleanup when active author/reviewer/merger/controller/reconciler
session, lease, or worktree-binding ownership still uses the target branch.
Address formal review 438 REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #710 (F6/F7/F8).
F6 — HMAC key-version validation fails closed:
- verify_authorization_artifact validates key_version BEFORE any MAC work, so an
attacker-chosen version can never select the signing key.
- Require exactly one nonempty, well-formed key-version field; missing, empty,
unknown, malformed, duplicated (including identical-valued and nested
aliases), and mismatched versions all fail. No versionless legacy fallback.
- Artifact version must equal the configured active version; production now
requires GITEA_IRRECOVERABLE_AUTH_HMAC_KEY_VERSION explicitly (an implicit
default made rotation ambiguous). Version stays inside the signed material.
F7 — strictly canonical incident evidence:
- Replace substring/first-match parsing with an exact schema: marker on line 1,
every field once, fixed order, no duplicate/unknown/empty/conflicting fields
in or outside the signed block. The parsed body is re-rendered and compared
for exact equality before acceptance.
- content_digest now binds the full recovery scope: repository identity, PR,
decision-lock identity, destroyed subject, recovery action, recorded and
expected head, incident issue, evidence author, minting actor, key version,
nonce and issued_at.
- Actor identity is the immutable user id with login consistency; conflicting
ids/logins and display-name-only identities fail closed. Edited comments are
rejected. The independent-author rule is preserved and enforced by stable id.
- build_canonical_incident_body is the single source of the accepted format and
refuses to emit ambiguous evidence.
F8 — archival is a prerequisite for clearing terminal evidence:
- _clear_decision_lock_for_profile no longer swallows archive failures. It
requires a successful write plus a durable read-back matching the PR/head,
and otherwise returns a structured, retry-safe failure that retains the lock
and records actionable recovery evidence.
- Fixes a latent bug the read-back exposed: the archive payload inherited the
source lock's session_profile_lock, so save_state keyed the archive under the
reviewer profile instead of the archive identity and it never read back.
Adversarial regressions added for every listed case: key-version missing/empty/
unknown/malformed/duplicate/rotation/wrong-key-after-restart, reordered fields,
duplicate identical and conflicting fields, conflicting actor ids/names,
digest-preserving substitution, decision-lock and recovery-action substitution,
cross-PR/repo/org/remote/head replay, archive exception/timeout/false/empty/
partial-readback with proof the lock survives, exactly-one permitted clear, and
retry after archive failure. No existing assertion was weakened.
Validation: focused 150 passed in three module orders; full tests/ 2809 passed,
6 skipped, 1 warning (pre-existing StarletteDeprecationWarning in
tests/test_webui_audit.py:8), 161 subtests passed.

Prevent merger-local empty decision locks from standing in for reviewer
terminal cleanup, refuse silent re-init overwrite of unresolved terminal
evidence, record post-merge recovery-required state when audit fails, and
add a truthful irrecoverable-provenance path that never claims applied=true.
Closes#709
Remove the public allow_test_bootstrap production seam so caller-controlled
flags cannot forge native mutation provenance. Bind provenance to the resolved
canonical entrypoint path plus a live stdio transport bind; basename-only
mcp_server.py stack frames and import-only launch no longer authorize
mutations. Test-mode install_test_native_runtime is pytest-only and cannot
reach production Gitea mutation endpoints. Add AC9 regressions for both
reviewer-found bypasses and related spoof vectors.

Bind mutation/credential paths to a process-local native MCP runtime so env
spoofing, direct imports, and offline helpers cannot reconstruct session gates
after native transport failure. Quarantine contaminated formal reviews under
controller authority and honor quarantine in review feedback, merge eligibility,

the second (PR #694 / review 427) incident class.
