Use a credential that can read branch protection
Every admission run calls the branch-protection endpoint with github.token, but the workflow can grant only contents, pull-requests, and actions; GitHub documents this endpoint as requiring Administration (read), a permission unavailable to GITHUB_TOKEN. The request therefore returns an authorization error, which is caught as API_UNMEASURED, so eligible remains false and the auto-merge step is always skipped even when CI succeeds. This check needs to run under the separately privileged app/governor or use evidence readable by the workflow token.

Re-run admission after the required CI completes
The checked ci-minimal.yml workflow and this admission workflow are launched independently by the same pull_request event, but this newly added step performs only one immediate assessment. In the normal scheduling order, CI is still queued or running, so the script returns CI_MISSING or CI_NOT_SUCCESSFUL; once CI later succeeds, no new pull_request event re-runs admission and the guarded merge step is never reached. Trigger admission from a completed workflow_run (while revalidating the PR/head) or add a bounded recheck mechanism.

.github/workflows/ci-minimal.yml followed by an optional @<ref> suffix while
still rejecting other filenames or prefixes. Also update the line-27 test

The CLA template limits jobs to PR events and pins the existing action without changing legal terms or signing behavior. Actions patch/minor updates gain bounded identity, executed-CI and protection checks; malformed or unavailable evidence returns HOLD. Workflow-run paths now accept GitHub's documented optional @ref suffix while retaining exact filename/head/base validation.
Validation: 21 tests passed and diff hygiene passed at eab2b93. Includes spoofed/malformed paths, wrong identities, moved generations, incomplete evidence and zero-step runs.
NOT READY FOR OPERATIONAL DELIVERY: review findings 4022306622 and 4022306625 remain valid. The ordinary workflow token lacks Administration read for protection inspection, and CI completion does not trigger reassessment. A reviewed trusted integration route with appropriate isolated authority and completion-event handling remains required. The relay-only governor contract does not already cover this repository. No credentials, protection settings or privileged triggers were added.
Owner: Codex / Limen L-DEPENDABOT-DELIVERY-ARM. All three review dispositions are in .codex/plans/2026-09-16-admission-review.md. This draft preserves the tested preparation and exact remaining integration work; it contributes no completed automatic-delivery claim. The prior ed76746 head had one DEFERRED CI-PENDING submission. The current head has not been submitted for merge while the two integration findings remain unresolved.
CI-attempt binding at 2a070fb: jobs are read through the exact attempt endpoint, malformed attempts are held, and final run readback rejects changed attempt/head/source/completion evidence. The bounded reader permits nine GETs within its unchanged 90-second deadline. All 23 tests plus 19 subtests passed. This source repair does not resolve the two integration findings above and the PR remains draft; no merge submission or activation was performed.
Completion assessor at f7c5ad0: a read-only CLI resolves the exact run/attempt/head to one current PR, verifies the full bounded signed Dependabot commit list, rejects ambiguous or mixed-major metadata and applies the existing CI/protection assessment. It emits REVIEW_READY or HOLD, always automatic_acceptance=false. Metadata checks were inspected against pinned fetch-metadata 25dd0e34f4fe68f24cc83900b1fe3fe149efef98; no PR-event context is fabricated. All 31 unittest cases passed and diff hygiene passed. The intake/consumer integration is owned jointly with Limen draft #2651; deployment, isolated protection-read authority, server controls and protected canaries remain unaccepted. This PR stays draft and has not been resubmitted for merge.
Credential boundary at 00f56bd: the fixed-origin API reader now refuses redirects, preserving bounded response and timeout limits. All 32 unittest cases and diff hygiene pass. The PR remains draft; no installed authority or merge readiness is inferred.
Dependency completion deployment owner
Owner: Codex, this PR and its committed completion-governor contract. Limen PR #2651 carries the disabled intake, source-bound packet compiler, keeper-admitted executor callback, bounded transport and cross-language receipt handoff. This shared-workflow lane owns the remaining completion-hint publication/native wake integration and independent assessor-source approval. Source landing is separate from production activation.
The authenticated keeper capability read at 2026-09-16T09:58:52.196Z found zero registered dependency assessors. Existing Limen #269/#1995 admission evidence and isolated credential grants remain prerequisites to registering/enabling a new service. Do not repurpose a human-protected session or treat REVIEW_READY as merge authorization. Next source step: prepare the completion producer and native executor handoff against the deployed protocol contract, retaining disabled activation until the protected canary and credential/admission predicates hold.
Completion hint producer — f58f585
The staged producer reduces a successful CI completion to four bounded identity fields, publishes through a dedicated observer credential in an isolated process, and requires exact receipt readback. It rejects redirects, ambiguous JSON, oversized responses and ambient GitHub credential fallback. The workflow template remains outside active workflows and checks out the trusted default SHA. No hint, credential, variable, service registration or workflow activation was performed.
Validation: all 42 shared-automation tests passed; actionlint accepted docs/deployment/dependency-completion.yml; git diff --check passed. Limen #2651 is merged at 3c1313aab9e03706d776bf8cbcc390883acddc68; its post-merge push CI run 35084026890 was still in progress at this observation, so default verification and runtime adoption remain separate.
The existing review findings remain unresolved: native wake deployment, independent assessor-source approval, isolated protection-read authority, server-side merge fencing and protected canaries still require their owning acceptance evidence. This PR remains draft and has not been submitted for merge at this head.
