Development record
2026-10-23 — Release hold, Q2, the product thinker's ruling of 2026-10-23, relayed by the coordinating session abcd-ae, superseding dcn-2610230328230097 (which kept it off by default): when abcd withdraws someone's armed merge for a release, it posts a fixed-form comment on that pull request, and posts again when the merge is re-armed, admitted into the cut, or skipped, naming the reason. This is on by default. Each comment is one fixed sentence naming the release, judged by the outbound policy before it is posted and read back from the forge after; a comment is posted once for each change of state a push records, and one that fails is reported and never holds up or undoes the withdrawal or the re-arm.

- dcn-26102303282300972026-10-23 — Release hold, Q2 (facilitator on delegation, abcd-ae ruling 2026-10-23): abcd does not comment on other people's pull requests when it withdraws or re-arms their merges; peers and the tombstone carry the trace. A fixed-form comment writer is built behind a seam, off by default, pending the product thinker's decision, since posting on others' PRs is new outward-facing behaviour.
