Development record

2026-10-30 — An entry another holder recorded on a release before the holder id names that holder's login, which nothing abcd pushes may carry, so an act that writes one still to settle into a new commit writes it under one fixed, login-free marker, pre_id, meaning a holder from before the holder id, and keeps it on the release instead of refusing the act (iss-2610290809526033). The refusal it replaces left such a release with no act able to renew, release or settle it, and while it was still being cut it turned every new cut away. A marker entry is no reader's own in any first-record, own-record, vouching, acting or lost-withdrawal check, and no copy ever re-arms, withdraws again or admits it; renewals and take-overs carry it unchanged; the act that ends the release settles each one still to settle as manual, without asking the forge or posting on it, and prints one line naming its pull requests for their authors to re-arm by hand, naming no login. The write guard still refuses a withdrawal whose holder is neither a holder id nor the marker, so no act can add a login. The holder who first recorded the entry still finds it, through their own newest push rather than the tip: their own vouched entry for the pull request is kept over the marker entry and re-armed under their kept id, and the marker entry is dropped from that push. A release holds one entry for each pull request, and a commit listing one twice is never written. Another login's entry never displaces the reader's own: where two records are combined, the reader's own entry, as their own newest push records it, is kept over every other entry for its pull request, whatever that entry's state, vouching or place on the branch; between two entries neither of which is the reader's own, the entry still to settle is kept over a settled one, then the one its holder's own push vouches for, then, both vouched or neither, the one recorded earliest on the branch; this also fixes the default branch writing the reader's own entry beside another holder's for the same pull request. Rejected alternatives: dropping the entry, which loses the only record that the merge is held; and naming the login, which the holder id exists to keep off the remote. Ruled by the coordinating session on delegation from the product thinker.
