Development record

2026-10-23 — Release hold (iss-2610222014550692), round 6, ruled by the coordinating facilitator on delegation while the product thinker is away. A person's record on a release reservation is the newest commit the forge's record of pushes shows that person pushed. Commits above it that another login pushed are never read: they are reported, by count and pusher, to the cutter and on peers. If that person's newest push cannot be found or placed, abcd acts on nothing for them (no re-arm, no withdrawal, no admission), names why on a line the cutter sees, and peers shows the same. A renewal over a later commit renews from the person's own newest commit, keeping what it records, admissions included, and the lost-withdrawal window never applies to a person's own record. Rejected alternative: checking each later change entry by entry, which five review rounds showed has to be extended for each new shape of later commit: one entry dropped and re-added as settled, two changes in a row, a change beneath an unreadable commit, a change beneath more commits than the walk reads, a tombstone dated outside the window, and a renewal over another login's tombstone. One rule covers all six, and honest use is unchanged, because a person's own record is always their newest push. The admit refusal's remedy reads: the withdrawer takes the release back with --take-over and admits it; a test runs that remedy end to end.
