Closes #74

What changed

  • add a stable npm run release:delivery command for verified post-merge worktree and local-branch cleanup
  • fail closed on active or unknown writers, dirty or foreign worktrees, incomplete Git/GitHub evidence, identity drift, symlink hazards, branch races, and incomplete mutations
  • support exact restartable recovery and safe no-op reruns after merge, squash, or rebase
  • add progressive delivery authority and structural registration from AGENTS.md
  • add public-boundary coverage for release, refusal, evidence, race, recovery, timeout, and disappearing generated-output behavior

Why

Merged delivery worktrees and branches were being reconciled manually. This makes exact terminal cleanup deterministic while preserving coordinator ownership and refusing any target whose identity, state, or merge evidence is uncertain.

Impact

This changes repository delivery tooling and documentation only. It does not alter product behavior, authentication, payments, personal data, database schema, or runtime deployment behavior.

Acceptance criteria

  • Exact-head same-repository merge triggers owning-lifecycle release: the authority makes release the automatic terminal step after verified merge.
  • Approval names the cleanup consequence: the authority requires exact worktree and unchanged branch release within the approved merge action.
  • Writer completion remains coordinator-owned: --writer-state stopped is an assertion; active and unknown refuse before provider reads or mutation.
  • Exact identities are verified and rechecked: worktree, branch, head, pull request, default base, repository, merge result, origin, cleanliness, path identity, and ancestry are covered.
  • Unsafe state is retained with bounded diagnostics: primary, current, nested, active, dirty, detached, foreign, mismatched, unknown, incomplete, and unexpected ignored states are tested.
  • Successful release removes only the exact target and compare-deletes only the unchanged branch, then proves both absent.
  • Recovery is deterministic: branch-only recovery and verified both-absent no-op reruns are tested; unexpected residue fails.
  • AGENTS.md remains a compact map pointing to one progressively loaded delivery authority.
  • The delivery authority declares routing, ownership, exclusions, inputs, stop conditions, next route, command, implementation, and tests.
  • Existing durable workflow verification independently checks the map, authority, package command, exported public interface, and behavioral coverage.
  • No word cap, sweeper, scheduler, background task, checkpoint, workflow state machine, or second progress record was added.
  • Historical cleanup is explicitly one target at a time from fresh inventory and exact live evidence; no roster is committed.
  • Focused tests are regression-sensitive, the full stable suite passes, independent Standards/Spec reviews are clean, and CodeRabbit findings are repaired test-first.
  • Delivery-packet outcomes and bounded retained-target reasons are documented for the five-delivery maintenance review.

Delivery considerations

  • Security and privacy: local Git/worktree deletion capability only. It is fail-closed, never force-removes a worktree, validates path identity and symlinks, uses exact compare-delete for the branch, pins github.com/zaingulel/RentCottage, and has bounded subprocesses and diagnostics. No personal data, authentication, payment, database, Supabase policy, or production runtime change.
  • Migration and rollback: no data or configuration migration. Roll back by reverting the two PR commits; the command is not invoked until after this PR is verified merged.
  • Visible evidence: screenshots and hosted product preview are inapplicable because product UI/runtime behavior is unchanged.
  • Known evidence limitation: the safety layer did not allow temporarily deleting the writer-state guard solely for a literal source-mutation demonstration. The invariant is instead proven through public active and unknown inputs, while other safety paths use injected races and failures.
  • Plan-review experiment: independent plan review materially revised ownership, race, recovery, and evidence contracts without requiring another owner decision. Runtime token and added-latency totals were not exposed.
  • Terminal cleanup: pending by design until this exact head is approved, merged, reconciled, and the second stopped-writer observation is made.

Validation

  • npm run verify — passed on the repaired tree
  • 436/436 Vitest tests
  • 103/103 database tests
  • 24/24 access journeys across mobile, desktop, and Worker
  • browser suite: 33 passed, 5 intentionally skipped
  • Worker preview smoke: passed
  • production dependency audit, formatting, lint, typecheck, builds, and client-secret scan: passed
  • npm run verify:board — passed
  • focused release and structural suite: 48/48 passed
  • independent Standards and Spec reviews: no remaining findings

The branch was refreshed before both commits and remained 0 commits behind origin/main. Exact head: a9f609400c479d11adc55e424a1ef2b779a11dd7.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0a12b

The delivery cleanup authority may proceed without requiring board verification after tracker reconciliation, which could leave stale or incomplete tracking state; the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

319-323: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make allowed-content removal tolerant of a vanished path.

rmSync runs without force. The status read at line 556 and this removal are not atomic. If a build tool deletes an allowed generated path in that window, rmSync throws ENOENT, the outer catch at line 626 returns exit 5 failed, and the coordinator must inspect a target that was in fact releasable. force: true keeps the fail-closed guarantees intact, because the path was already proven to be allowed content.

♻️ Proposed change
 function removeAllowedGeneratedContent(target, paths) {
   for (const path of paths) {
-    rmSync(resolve(target, path), { recursive: true });
+    rmSync(resolve(target, path), { force: true, recursive: true });
   }
 }

The pinned repository identity has no single source. The slug zaingulel/RentCottage is written three times in the implementation and is not named in the authority, so a rename or fork produces a refusal with no single edit point and no documented cause.

Register cleanup for every temporary repository.

repository() creates a temporary root containing a bare remote and two worktrees. The suite calls it 48 times, and no cleanup removes these roots. Register onTestFinished(() => rmSync(root, { recursive: true, force: true })) after creating root.

value to resolve the system Git executable path before applying the
fakeBin-prefixed PATH, then pass that resolved path instead of hardcoding
/usr/bin/git. Preserve the wrapper’s use of REAL_GIT and the existing
GH_ARGUMENTS and GH_EVIDENCE values.

In `@src/ci/workflow.test.ts`:
- Around line 79-80: Strengthen the checks in the workflow test around
implementation and behaviourTest so they verify stable releaseDelivery contract
markers and intended public-boundary test coverage, rather than merely non-empty
file contents. Preserve the requirement that scripts/release-delivery.mjs

Require independent review and executable checks before merge.

The review order names CodeRabbit approval and quality CI, but it does not state that independent review and the applicable executable verification suite are mandatory. Add both requirements so external-review evidence cannot replace them.

As per coding guidelines: “CodeRabbit or another external reviewer may add evidence but never replaces the independent review or executable checks.”

Proposed contract update
- Follow the existing review order: exact-head CodeRabbit approval and resolved findings first, then exact-head `quality` CI, then an authorised merge.

Run board verification after tracker reconciliation.

After reconciling the issue and Project 4, run npm run verify:board. Stop if the command is unavailable or its evidence fails. Otherwise, stale or incomplete tracker state can be treated as authoritative.

As per coding guidelines: “GitHub Issues, native dependencies, and Project 4 are one tracker. Run npm run verify:board before work selection and after tracker publication or reconciliation; unavailable or failing evidence stops selection. Keep the procedure in docs/agents/issue-tracker.md.”
