check-half-states H18 + ensure-pm-labels: `pm:retriage` is still described as a re-grade in the row JSDoc, its finding sentence and the label description — align them to "a question for the triage seat"

[claude]

Filed by the domain:skills seat (session session_019RfFHiRCSs3JXLK4cwcfox, os-steve) from the #15404 dev's measured out-of-scope finding (report 5549613436). Self-triaged priority:p3, pm:blocked, pure code.

Blocked-by: #15702

What was measured (2026-09-05, PR #15732 head d88cfa48b)

• scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs H18: the row's JSDoc cites the retired SKILL.md wording (「pm:retriage 重判每 fire 高优先处理」) as its citation, and the finding sentence reads "the objecting seat's grade is still undecided … resolve the grade (keep or change) and drop the label". Both speak re-grade vocabulary. The mechanism (age past one triage cycle) is unchanged and the self-test population is label-only.
• scripts/pm/ensure-pm-labels.sh line 270 creates pm:retriage with the description "Awaiting triage re-judgement — coexists with the standing pm:* label; queued cards skip dispatch"; the live description on the five seeded repos reads the same.
• PR docs(pm-dispatch): pm:retriage is a question for the triage seat, answered every fire #15732 (finding(pm-dispatch): pm:retriage is the only channel a seat has for asking triage a NON-grading question, so those cards are skipped by every dispatcher and actionable by no sweep — one ruled p1 sat 2d5h #15404) rewords the label's meaning on the two governed surfaces: a question for the triage seat (a re-grade, a lane designation for a cross-domain PR, a re-route, a split, a disposition fork a dev report left open), answered every fire and removed in the same stroke. It touches neither file above, per that card's ruled edit set of three sites.

What this card does

Prose and a label description, no logic:

1. H18's JSDoc citation and finding sentence say "a question for the triage seat … answer it and drop the label", in the wording PR docs(pm-dispatch): pm:retriage is a question for the triage seat, answered every fire #15732 lands.
2. ensure-pm-labels.sh: the pm:retriage description says the same, in the house style of the sibling rows; re-seed the five repos with the script after merge and read the description back.
3. Self-test: the H18 cases keep passing (the population is label-only); the case count does not drop.

Serial

scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs is in flight under #15702 (H45's parent half); this card is hard-serial behind that PR (different defect shape, no fold). Dispatch after it lands and after PR #15732 lands, so the wording copied is the one on main.

Dedup

REST enumeration 2026-09-05T05:2xZ, state=all sorted by update (1,200 items, 799 issues, back to 2026-09-03T09:54Z; positive control #15404 hit): no card names H18's wording or the label description; #9857 is the generated patrol view, not a card.

Claim: PM loop round 6 — unblocked when #15702 closed (PR #15755 MERGED 07:00Z) with PR #15732 (#15404) already on main since 06:36Z; the card's own scope executed as written: prose plus one label description, no logic
Session: session_019RfFHiRCSs3JXLK4cwcfox
Branch: claude/issue-15744-retriage-is-a-question-h18-and-label
Worktree: objectstack-issue-15744
Domain: domain:skills
File surface: scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs — H18's threshold JSDoc (cites the retired SKILL.md wording), the row docblock, the finding sentence in h18RetriageAged, the header inventory lines for H18, any other line that asserts the re-judgement meaning, and the self-test cases that pin the sentence; scripts/pm/ensure-pm-labels.sh — the pm:retriage description string and the comment block above it. Predicate, threshold, updated_at proxy, coexistence reading and exit semantics unchanged.
Container & model: S, mode:subagent, model: opus (dispatch-gates.mjs --tier on the two paths at b25a5fc32, 2026-09-05T07:1xZ: no path-derived mandate; clause ② not engaged — wording of a report-only row and a label description)
Clause-②: no (prose of a report-only patrol row; no contract verdict moves)
Serial constraints cleared: PR #15755 (#15702) MERGED 07:00Z and PR #15732 (#15404) MERGED 06:36Z are both on main b25a5fc32; the only other in-flight card of this lane, #15753, touches scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs only; no open PR touches either file (scan 06:31Z found only PR #15755, now merged). Pure code (check-governed-merges --test on both paths exit 0 at b25a5fc32) ⇒ in-seat review, then ready + auto-merge by the seat; skip-changeset. The PR carries Fixes #15744; the live re-seed of the label description on the two in-scope repos is the seat's act after merge, and the three repos outside this session's scope are recorded for the next five-repo reconcile run.

Decision re-read (07:1xZ): the wording copied is the one on main — SKILL.md line 115 「向分诊提问(改判、跨域 PR 指定车道、改路由、拆卡、裁 dev 报告留下的分叉),异议评论写明所求」 and line 382 「每 fire 先答异议评论所求,答后同笔摘标;须维护者答的进收件箱,标照摘」 — quoted, never paraphrased. p3 stands; no ruling owed.

"pr": "#15795",
"premise_still_valid": true,
"summary": "Verified the premise on origin/main before editing: both retired spellings were still there. scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs now reads pm:retriage as a question put to the triage seat at four prose sites — the H18 threshold JSDoc (which cited 「pm:retriage 重判每 fire 高优先处理」, a SKILL.md line that no longer exists; it now quotes the landed triage-duty line 「pm:retriage 每 fire 先答异议评论所求,答后同笔摘标;须维护者答的进收件箱,标照摘」 verbatim), the finding sentence, the header-inventory duty line and the PM_RESIDUE_LABELS docblock. scripts/pm/ensure-pm-labels.sh gets the matching label description plus the comment block above it. Prose and one description string, no logic: h18RetriageAged's predicate, RETRIAGE_STALE_HOURS, the updated_at proxy, the coexisting-label sentence, the ALONE-shape note (异议对象不明) and the row's report-only exit semantics are byte-for-byte unchanged; the two mentions that only say the label coexists with a state (the census note in PM_RESIDUE_LABELS, the "annotations ON a state" line in PM_EXCLUSIVE_STATE_LABELS) were read and left alone. One ruled input did not fit: the card's candidate description measures 106 code points against GitHub's 100-character cap. The landed string is "Question for triage, answered each fire; coexists with the standing pm:* label; no dispatch" — 91 code points, 91 bytes, nine characters of headroom, all three facts kept, the dispatch fact spelled in the file's own house idiom (pm:blocked "do not dispatch", pm:on-hold "no dispatch, no nag", pm:awaiting-maintainer "no dispatch, no machine exit"); see the open question. LIVE LABELS NOT RE-SEEDED BY THIS PR on any of the five repos — ensure-pm-labels.sh was never run (no gh in this container, three of its repos out of scope) and no live label object was touched; the live descriptions still read "Awaiting triage re-judgement — …". PR #15795 is a DRAFT and stays one: not flipped ready, not enqueued, not approved, no auto-merge armed. skip-changeset was added through the additive labels endpoint (HTTP 200) and read back by comparison: {size/s, skip-changeset} — the concurrent size label survived and nothing was stripped.",
"tests": "RED FIRST — the five new H18 cases were written before the edit and failed: "check-half-states self-test: 5 of 2267 case(s) failed" (three new-sentence pins got false/want true; two retired-vocabulary pins, /re-judg|grade \\(keep or change\\)/ over both row shapes, got true/want false). After the edit: "check-half-states self-test: 2267 cases pass" — 2262 on main at b25a5fc to 2267, no case dropped. ABLATION — the new finding sentence was replaced by the retired one on a throwaway copy (scripts/pm/.ablation-tmp-check-half-states.mjs, kept in that directory so the ../invoked-as.mjs import still resolves; the tracked file was never mutated). The mutation was confirmed ON DISK by occurrence count before the run (injected retired text present exactly once — the anchor hit), never by the editor's exit code. Result: "5 of 2267 case(s) failed", exactly the five new cases, the other 2262 green. Restore leg: copy deleted and proven absent, git status --porcelain empty, and git hash-object scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs = git rev-parse HEAD:scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs = 610dfa259e54872e1ba4c771140be49b029f998b. No build/dist leg exists for this pair — the gate script is executed directly by node, nothing resolves through a package exports or a dist/. GATES on the final head 76eab9d (origin/main merged in at 6a3cc13, then re-derived — the command list was identical to the pre-merge derivation): node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --commands --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack derived 32 commands, all 32 run, every exit code captured before any pipe (cmd > log 2>&1; EXIT=$?), all 0. Reconciled: "dispatch-gates --ran: 32 derived famil(ies) accounted for — 32 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED". Whole-repo pnpm lint (eslint . --no-inline-config) through bash scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh slot issue-15744: "VERDICT command-exit 0 · held the lock 104s · waited 225s" (the first attempt returned 99 queue-timeout after 540s; the slot kept the place and the retry acquired — the script's shared-box caveat applies to those seconds). Also green: node scripts/pm/check-label-desc-cap.mjs --self-test (it puts a fake gh on PATH and runs the REAL ensure-pm-labels.sh, so the shell edit is exercised end to end), pnpm check:pm-label-desc-cap ("23 label descriptions in scripts/pm/ensure-pm-labels.sh, all under or at 100 characters"), the self-tests of the five other scripts/pm tools that name either edited file (check-clause2-carriers, check-governed-merges, ci-failure, dispatch-gates, bare-root-worklist), and bash -n on the shell script. node scripts/pm/check-governed-merges.mjs --test on both paths: "0 of 2 path(s) hit the register — NOT governed". TWO NOT-MEASURED READINGS, recorded as such and NOT as passes: pnpm check:published-readme-exports exits 3 (it needs 45 built packages; unrelated roster gate, this tree is unbuilt), and bare node scripts/check-partof-closing-keyword.mjs exits 2 NOT WIRED with no PR context — re-run with PR_BODY set to this PR's actual body it exits 0 ("no Part-of/closing-keyword contradiction"), and pnpm check:partof-closing-keyword exits 0. CI on the PR head: all 35 check runs completed, 0 non-success. Required six — Lint & Repo Gates, TypeScript Type Check, Test Core, Dogfood Regression Gate all success; Build Core and Temporal Conformance (live PG + MySQL) skipped by paths filter. Check Changeset success under skip-changeset; Governed Surface Queue Guard success; both single-claim guards success. PR body read back in full from the API after creation (7106 chars): every difference from my draft is my own composition, no sanitizer truncation, CJK quotes and the session-URL footer intact.",

"options": [
"A (landed) "Question for triage, answered each fire; coexists with the standing pm:* label; no dispatch" — 91 code points. Keeps "standing"; spells the dispatch fact in the file's own house idiom, dropping only the population qualifier "queued cards". Nine characters of headroom.",
"B "Question for triage, answered each fire; coexists with the standing pm:* label; queued cards skipped" — exactly 100 code points. Keeps both "standing" and "queued", at ZERO headroom, which is the state the cap gate's own header names as the thin-headroom hazard (any later editorial touch-up 422s and is swallowed).",
"C "Question for triage, answered each fire; coexists with the pm:* label; queued cards skip dispatch" — 97 code points. Keeps the third clause verbatim from the current description and from SKILL.md line 115, dropping the adjective "standing"."
],
"recommendation": "A. "standing" carries the maintainer-ruled half (the original grade stays authoritative until the question is answered — 「同意 并存」 / 原定级在改判前仍是权威), while "queued cards" is only a population qualifier for a fact three sibling rows already spell as "no dispatch"; and A is the only one of the three that leaves the cap real headroom, which is what the gate exists to protect."
