Development record
2026-10-22 — A release reservation withdraws every merge already armed or queued on the default branch, and the cutting session keeps one in only by re-arming it with abcd reserve rel-vX.Y.Z --admit <pr>, which records it as admitted (iss-2610222014550692, choice 1A over a --keep list given at reserve time). Grounds: the cut then starts from a frozen branch and every merge into it is a recorded act; a keep list asks for the ruling before the cutter has seen what is armed, and a forgotten keep is a lost merge. Decided by the coordinating session on the product thinker's delegation while the product thinker is away, on the technical facilitator's recommendation.

- iss-2610222014550692A release reservation (abcd reserve rel-vX.Y.Z) holds only merges armed after it: a pull request whose auto-merge was already on, or that already sat in the merge queue, still merges into the default branch mid-cut, from any copy or account, a running drain's included. Today the cutting session has to list and rule on those by hand right after reserving and again before merging the release pull request (commands/reserve.md, /abcd:launch 'Before step 1'), a manual step that is easy to miss on an every-other-day cadence.
