docs(pm-dispatch): release is an explicit act — clear the assignee and post a Release: line whenever a card leaves a session's hands (#15846) - #15848

Fixes #15846

What

Ownership had an explicit entry (assign + Claim:) and no explicit exit. Under the maintainer's 2026-09-05 design ruling (R3, recorded on the ownership-contradiction card by the skills seat: the assignee field stays a presence bit under one shared identity — 「暂时不区分」 — and a presence bit is only truthful if its exit is written down), release is an explicit act: whoever moves a card out of a session's ownership — re-route, hand-back on premise_still_valid: false, an abandoned flight with no takeover, a cross-lane hand-off — clears the assignee and posts a line beginning Release: (session ID, which of the four reasons, destination = the new label state or lane) in the same write; the next owner claims afresh. Two definitional readings follow: a pm:queue card never carries an assignee; a pm:dispatched card always does (what H1 and H24 read).

Line-neutral on both files, both at headroom 0. Every new fact is folded into an existing line or takes the place of a line whose content survives in its neighbour; no ceiling moves and the ratchet script is untouched.

.claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md — 811 → 811 lines, widest table row 342 → 342 bytes

State-model table (状态模型):

• open + 队列标签 + 无 assignee row, 85 → 128 bytes: adds 「pm:queue 卡恒无 assignee,有即半态」.
• assignee 已设 row, 63 → 216 bytes: adds 「离手恒走释放 —— 四因 = 改路由、前提证伪、弃飞无接管、跨车道移交,去向 = 新标签态或车道;⛔ 不静默摘 assignee」.
• pm:dispatched row, 106 → 122 bytes: adds 「恒带 assignee」.

认领 family (beside 「assignee 字段归 PM」, which is unchanged):

• New line, 118 bytes: 「释放是显式动作:让卡离手者同笔清 assignee + Release: 行(会话/因/去向);下一任重新认领。」
• Paid for by folding 「选中的单派发前按序执行一个原子对。」 into the ① line, now 「派发前按序执行原子对:① Assign @me,并把 pm:dispatched 与摘 pm:queue 放进同一次标签写入。」 (119 bytes). Nothing dropped.
• Dead-claim reclamation line, 113 bytes: 「摘 assignee(注明原因)回队」 → 「释放回队(Release: 行载因)」. Reclamation is the abandoned-flight reason of this same rule; left as it was, the file would spell the same exit two ways.

.claude/skills/pm-dispatch/references/state-machine.md — 42 → 42 lines

• New line after 摘标者, 119 bytes: 「释放者 = 让卡离手的席位:行首 Release:(会话/因/去向)与清 assignee 同笔;下一任重新认领。」
• Paid for by folding 「awaiting 卡在在飞视图里计停放库存。」 into the retriage-authority line, now 「retriage 原定级在改判前仍是权威;awaiting 卡在在飞视图里计停放库存。」 (93 bytes). The only phrase dropped is 「挂/摘分属两方」, which the 挂标者 / 摘标者 lines directly beneath already state.

Byte widths (LC_ALL=C awk, bytes)

• SKILL.md widest non-table prose line: line 98 at 120 (pre-existing, unchanged). Widest table row: line 250 at 342 (the domain:engine row, pre-existing, unchanged). Line 810 at 172 bytes sits inside the claim template's code fence (pre-existing, fence-exempt). No line this PR writes exceeds 120 bytes; the widest new line is 119.
• state-machine.md widest line: line 18 at 120 (pre-existing, unchanged); the new line is 119.

Where the four reasons and the destination live — the dev's call inside the ruling

The 120-byte cap on a 认领 line cannot hold the act, the four reasons and the three fields at once; the assignee 已设 row has ~240 bytes of room under the 342-byte pin. So the act and the fresh claim sit in the 认领 line and in state-machine.md (the 行契约: 行首 Release: with its three fields, same write as the clear), while the four reasons, the destination definition and the ⛔ on silent clearing sit in the assignee row of the state model, and the two definitional readings sit in the pm:queue / pm:dispatched rows they define.

Four-axis note. 实际业务需求: measured, not speculative — H1/H24 report residue as live half-states and a seat's list view shows taken cards that are free; all four exits already exist in the protocol (改路由 in the pm:retriage row, premise_still_valid: false in 收集 / 报告契约, 死认领回收, 跨车道 接手). 项目长远合理性: the exit is written where the entry is written — the state model and the 认领 section — not as a patrol heuristic. 防 AI 犯错: the definitional readings turn the field into a checkable invariant, and 「⛔ 不静默摘 assignee」 forbids the tolerant path. 创业阶段不扩散: no new label, field, comment marker or gate row; the patrol row for a Release: newer than the last Claim: stays the declared follow-up.

Not changed

The claim's first-line spelling Claim: (ruled 2026-08-11); CLAIM_COMMENT_MARKER; the H1/H24 code in scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs (its prose is a follow-up once this lands); the two declared frame-block copies; the ratchet script's CEILINGS and pins.
