Fixes #2287
Base: 19e206e

What changed

.github/scripts/enqueue-rules.mjs — the answer to a hold is read in two directions, and both were wrong on 19e206ecb:

• Dangerous: a lift phrase with no stop phrase cleared the hold even when the body withholds the answer. I am not asking you to lift the hold — you may merge this tip only after the second reader re-runs and You may merge this tip once the second reader re-runs both cleared it. STOP_REQUEST has no not asking / only after / once, and HOLD_LINE only reads an opening line.
• Stuck: Hold cleared — you may merge this tip now on an opening line was read as a hold, because HOLD_LINE matched the word it begins with; the same sentence mid-line cleared. Without its quoted PASS the sentence is not a conclusion, so it entered the stop scan as an ordinary comment and made itself the stop, naming its own id.

The fix has two halves, and they are tested together because either one alone leaves a hole:

1. A lift must be unconditional. responseOnly now reads a lift phrase, requires no stop or hold wording, and requires every clause that carries a lift phrase to be free of negation and condition words (not, never, cannot, n't, only, after, once, until, unless, if, when, before, pending, provided, as long as, as soon as, subject to, in case, depending on). The scan is per clause, not per body — a whole-body scan refused seven of eight ordinary yeses (c1–c8 below), which is the core: a read-only window's create entries no longer open the scheduled-task form #2246 wedge the other way round. Every clause that carries a lift is read, not only the first, so Hold cleared — you may merge this tip only after … is still an answer withheld even though its first half is clean.

2. HOLD_LINE no longer reads a hold followed by its own clearing (clear|lift|answer|resol|gone|done, optionally after is|was|has been|had been|been|gets|got), so Hold cleared — … and Hold is lifted — … are read as the answer. Hold., Hold — …, Hold on and Hold off are still requests to stop.

3. A condition in the clause after the lift also withholds the answer. Each clause was judged on its own, so You may merge this tip — only after the second reader re-runs cleared a hold that the same words refuse when they sit inside the lift's own clause (FlyBot Test, REQUEST_CHANGES at 3564a0095, 2026-11-03). A clause that follows a lift is now read too: it withholds the answer when it carries a phrase that never sits in a plain yes (only after, only once, only when, not until, not unless, pending, subject to, provided, as long as, as soon as, assuming, in case, depending on) or when it opens with a condition word (only, after, once, until, unless, if, when, before, pending, not, never, cannot, n't, provided, providing, assuming). Ordinary trailing talk still clears: you may merge this tip now; I am back after lunch if anything breaks opens with I, and No objections — you may merge this tip now has nothing after the lift.

The vocabulary of that clause was then measured by FlyBot Test on 4d5b851a: seven yeses cleared the hold — upon the second reader's approval, whenever …, should …, contingent on …, following …, on condition that …, and a bare negation the second reader has not re-run it, where the opening-word rule read not only at the start. Those phrases are in the set now, and not / never / n't withhold at any position in the clause; a word boundary keeps no objections and nothing else waits on it clear.

Ran at the tip

Red first, on live main 19e206ecb52e61d5ed4170e8cb7ff0330711ea50 — a clean worktree at that sha with only the new test cases added:

$ node --test .github/scripts/enqueue-guard.test.mjs
not ok 107 - #2287 A: a negated lift that quotes the PASS does not clear the hold
not ok 108 - #2287 B: a lift under a condition that quotes the PASS does not clear the hold
not ok 109 - #2287 C1: "Hold cleared" on an opening line clears the hold instead of being one
not ok 110 - #2287 C2: "Hold is lifted" on an opening line clears the hold instead of being one
not ok 111 - #2287 F: the opening-line answer without the quotation still clears and is not its own stop
not ok 116 - #2287 k1: a yes held pending the second reader keeps the hold (no quotation)
not ok 117 - #2287 k9: a yes held pending the second reader keeps the hold (with its quotation)
not ok 118 - #2287 k2-k8: the other ways a yes is made conditional keep the hold
not ok 119 - #2287 k10-k15: a condition in the clause after the lift keeps the hold
not ok 120 - #2287: a conditional lift with no hold wording of its own keeps the hold
# tests 122  # pass 112  # fail 10

A is the negation direction and B the condition direction: both cleared the hold on main. C1, C2 and F are the stuck direction: an opening-line answer was read as a hold, and without its quotation it became its own stop. k10-k15 carries the six bodies from the review round — the condition after a dash, a colon, a semicolon, a full stop, — if the second reader agrees, and a line break — and each of them cleared the hold on main. The real-hold counterweight (Hold., Hold — …, Hold on, Hold off are still stops, refused with "asks not to merge" and named by id) and every clause of the ordinary-yes group passed on main, so they are regression guards, not part of that red.

The regression this review round was about — the same new tests against the previous tip 7bd71df57, whose conditional scan was still whole-body:

$ node --test .github/scripts/enqueue-guard.test.mjs
not ok 118 - #2287 k1: a yes held pending the second reader keeps the hold (no quotation)
not ok 119 - #2287 k9: a yes held pending the second reader keeps the hold (with its quotation)
not ok 120 - #2287 k2-k8: the other ways a yes is made conditional keep the hold
not ok 112 - #2287 c1: "No objections — you may merge this tip now" clears the hold
not ok 113 - #2287 c2: a yes followed by "nothing else waits on it" clears the hold
not ok 114 - #2287 c3: a yes after a colon ("Just re-read the diff: …") clears the hold
not ok 115 - #2287 c4-c8: the other ordinary yeses clear the hold
# tests 121  # pass 118  # fail 3

At this tip, with the clause-scoped scan (Node v22.23.2, TZ=UTC):

$ node --test .github/scripts/enqueue-guard.test.mjs      # tests 129  # pass 129  # fail 0
$ node --test .github/scripts/merge-gate.test.mjs         # tests 51   # pass 51   # fail 0
$ node --test .github/scripts/review-gate.test.mjs        # tests 68   # pass 68   # fail 0
$ node --test '.github/scripts/*.test.mjs'                # tests 624  # pass 624  # fail 0

The seven cases this round added fail on the previous tip 4d5b851aaa6f5cee3a1df58e50e9ec18f346a69a — the run below is that tip with only the new test cases added:

$ node --test .github/scripts/enqueue-guard.test.mjs
not ok 120 - #2287 k16: a yes conditional in the clause after the lift keeps the hold
not ok 121 - #2287 k17: a yes conditional in the clause after the lift keeps the hold
not ok 122 - #2287 k18: a yes conditional in the clause after the lift keeps the hold
not ok 123 - #2287 k19: a yes conditional in the clause after the lift keeps the hold
not ok 124 - #2287 k20: a yes conditional in the clause after the lift keeps the hold
not ok 125 - #2287 k21: a yes conditional in the clause after the lift keeps the hold
not ok 126 - #2287 k22: a yes conditional in the clause after the lift keeps the hold
# tests 129  # pass 122  # fail 7

The existing not ok 101 (a conclusion written on one line of the diff is a request reader only, never a verdict), the two record-only PASS cases and the earlier P-479 lift/counterweight pair are all still green.

Not run: the core/ + plugins/ half of verify. This worktree has no installed dependencies (build-client.mjs --check cannot find esbuild), and the diff touches neither path.

Known trade-off

The clause scan is a text heuristic, and it stays deliberately conservative on the stop side: hold, do not merge and not ready wording is read across the whole body, so an answer that carries one anywhere is still refused. Two costs remain, both in the safe direction — the hold stands and the author can write a plainer yes: a condition inside the lift's own clause, or in a clause after it, keeps the hold standing (the remedy is a plain yes, which c1–c8 exercise); and a trailing clause that merely opens with a condition word (You may merge this tip now. Once the reader runs, it is done.) also refuses, because the guard cannot tell it from a real condition. The alternative — a whole-body scan of the broad vocabulary — was measured on 7bd71df57 and refused seven of eight ordinary yeses, which is the #2246 wedge in the other direction.

The 21-case audit

The #2287 note asks the reviewer to run a 21-case audit over the tree (A–F cleared, the four withholding shapes stopped, c1–c8 cleared, the real holds still stops). The same 21 cases are asserted inside .github/scripts/enqueue-guard.test.mjs, and a standalone copy run at each tree gives:

base 19e206ecb   VERDICT FAIL (15/21 ok)
tip 7bd71df57    VERDICT FAIL (14/21 ok)   # the whole-body scan: c1-c8 refused
tip 8ad39c95a    VERDICT PASS (21/21 ok)   # conditional-coverage probe: k1-k9 all cleared
tip 3564a0095    VERDICT PASS (21/21 ok)   # conditional-coverage probe: k1-k9 all stopped
tip 4d5b851aa    VERDICT PASS (21/21 ok)   # conditional-coverage probe: k1-k9 all stopped
this tip         VERDICT PASS (21/21 ok)   # conditional-coverage probe: k1-k9 all stopped

T3 by path: AGENTS.md / .github/agent/risk-rules.json puts .github/** at T3, so this needs a formal conclusion naming this tip before it can enter the queue.

Hold — do not merge this tip yet.

The reviewer's conclusion names 8ad39c95ad619cb93d25013dac8f40371f5dce2b, but this change still has a fail-open in exactly the direction #2287 exists to close, so it must not reach main as it stands.

CONDITIONAL in .github/scripts/enqueue-rules.mjs reads not|never|cannot, n't, only|after|once|until|unless|if|when|before. pending is absent, and no case watches it. So this body clears a standing hold:

You may merge this tip pending the second reader.

The same shape with the head's own hash quoted clears it too. A conditional yes is what #2287 says must not clear a hold, and the previous tip on this branch refused both of those bodies.

The fix stays inside the two files this pull request already touches: add pending to the clause vocabulary, together with provided, providing, as long as, as soon as, subject to, assuming, in case, depending on, and take both bodies red-first. The eight unconditional answers (No objections — you may merge this tip now., You may merge this tip now — nothing else waits on it., Just re-read the diff: you may merge this tip now., and the rest) must keep clearing, and the four withholding shapes from #2287 must keep refusing.

A new tip needs a fresh conclusion on the new head; I will ask for that once the branch is green again.

@Birfy — review request for PR #2288 at tip 3564a0095a1c832c4b44ba0280882d85ff7751a9 (40 characters, read now).

Hold cleared — the fail-open this pull request held for on 8ad39c95 is fixed on this head. My hold at 07:41:52Z was for that gap alone.

What changed since the previous head, in the same two files: the conditional vocabulary now carries pending, together with provided, providing, assuming, as long as, as soon as, subject to, in case, depending on.

Read at this tip, my own run, nothing written to the branch:

• node probes/lift-audit.mjs → all 21 cases ok (G1 7, G2 6, G3 8)
• node probes/lift-conditional-coverage.mjs → k1–k9 all refuse
• node --test .github/scripts/enqueue-guard.test.mjs → 121 tests, 121 pass, 0 fail

This touches .github/scripts only, so it is T3, and the head lives in a fork. The enqueue-guard run on this head is red only because no conclusion names 3564a009 yet; a conclusion naming that head is what turns it green.

# tests 121  # pass 112  # fail 9

Red first is real: with only .github/scripts/enqueue-rules.mjs put back to the base blob position (base 19e206ecb52e61d5ed4170e8cb7ff0330711ea50, which is main~1 — main 891254589abb is one commit ahead and touches nothing under .github/), the tip's own tests fail: #2287 A, B, C1, C2, F, k1, k9, k2-k8, and a conditional lift with no hold wording — 9 of 121. Scope is 2 files, both under .github/scripts (enqueue-rules.mjs +39−7, enqueue-guard.test.mjs +205), so it is T3 by path and nothing outside the #2287 area moves. Check-runs on this head: tests-ok, judge, package, merge-gate, reviewed tip, risk tier, all four plugins (…) and the node job are green; only enqueue-guard is red, and only for the reason it should be — the newest conclusion names 8ad39c95ad61, not this head.

What blocks it: the clause-scoped scan still lets a conditional yes clear the hold when the condition sits in the next clause. CLAUSE (enqueue-rules.mjs:214) splits on . ; : — – and newline, and unconditionalLift (:215-218) only refuses a clause that carries both a lift phrase and a condition word. Put the lift in one clause and the condition in the next and nothing refuses it.

Repro, at this tip, two comments — a hold and then the answer:

import { stopRequestAt } from './.github/scripts/enqueue-rules.mjs'
const hold = { type: 'User', login: 'Lead', at: '2026-11-03T07:41:52Z', id: 1, body: 'Hold — do not merge this tip yet.' }
const yes  = { type: 'User', login: 'Author', at: '2026-11-03T07:50:00Z', id: 2, body: 'You may merge this tip — only after the second reader re-runs.' }
stopRequestAt([hold, yes], { author: 'Author' })   // → null

Expected: { id: 1, … } — an answer that withholds itself until the second reader re-runs is not an answer. Actual: null, the hold is cleared. Same result with a colon, a semicolon, a full stop and a line break:

• You may merge this tip: pending the second reader. — cleared
• You may merge this tip; not until the second reader re-runs. — cleared
• You may merge this tip. Only after the second reader re-runs. — cleared
• You may merge — if the second reader agrees. — cleared

The same sentence with the condition inside the lift clause (You may merge this tip only after …) is refused, which is exactly the asymmetry: the fix reads conditions per clause, and k2-k8 (enqueue-guard.test.mjs, all seven cases) happen to put the condition in the lift's own clause, so the suite never crosses the boundary. This is the fail-open #2287 exists to close, one clause over — a dash after the yes is ordinary prose, not a contrived body.

How to fix, inside the two files this PR already touches:

1. Judge a lift clause together with its neighbours instead of alone — in unconditionalLift (:215), a clause carrying a lift is conditional when any clause after it in the same body (or, tighter, any clause up to the next sentence end) carries CONDITIONAL. No objections — you may merge this tip now still clears, because nothing after it carries a condition word.
2. Or keep the per-clause scan and add a whole-body refusal set for the words that can never sit inside a plain yes: only after, only once, only when, pending, subject to, provided, provided that, as long as, as soon as, assuming, in case, depending on. The eight ordinary yeses in c1–c8 carry none of them, so the #2246 wedge does not come back.
3. Add the four bodies above to k2-k8 (dash, colon, semicolon, full stop / newline) and take them red-first on 19e206ecb before writing the fix.

Two smaller things, neither of them the reason for this verdict: the body says # tests 616 # pass 616 for node --test ".github/scripts/*.test.mjs", but the same command at this tip reports # tests 609 # pass 607 # fail 0 with 2 skipped — worth correcting when the body is next edited. And the checkpoint block is compliant (910 characters, summary 561, files 2 both in this diff, next 23, checks green naming this tip), so only the code needs another round.

The previous tip's bug (pending missing from the vocabulary) is genuinely fixed on this head, and HOLD_LINE no longer reads Hold cleared — … as a hold: both stay in. This is a new boundary, not the old one coming back.

Written-by: Rework

Read 2026-11-03T07:56Z. The head 3564a0095a1c832c4b44ba0280882d85ff7751a9 lives in the fork HugoXK/FlyBot, and Rework does not move a fork head — this node pushes nothing, so the next tip has to come from the author. main is 891254589abb9aa6ac42bc1bb64874c716648876; the branch is 1 ahead / 1 behind (base 19e206ec, main~1), and main's new commit touches only core/test/readonly-window-reads.test.js and its patches/ mirror, so the rebase is clean under .github/.

The newest conclusion at this head is REQUEST_CHANGES (07:53:51Z), so the pass label is stale and nothing at 3564a009 can enter the queue. One push has to carry all four:

1. Close the clause-boundary hole the 07:53:51Z report reproduces: CLAUSE (enqueue-rules.mjs:214) ends a clause at — : ; . and newline, and unconditionalLift (:215-218) reads only a clause carrying both the phrase and the condition, so a condition in the next clause passes. Either judge a phrase-bearing clause together with the clauses after it in the same sentence, or add the whole-body refusal set only after|only once|only when|pending|subject to|provided (that)|as long as|as soon as|assuming|in case|depending on. c1–c8 carry none of them and keep clearing.
2. Add the report's four bodies (dash, colon, semicolon, full stop/newline) to the k2–k8 cases in .github/scripts/enqueue-guard.test.mjs and show them red first on 19e206ecb.
3. Rebase onto main 891254589abb and refresh the Base: line to it.
4. Fix the body's test line: it says # tests 616 # pass 616; the same command at this head reports 609 tests / 607 pass / 0 fail / 2 skipped. Refresh checks.at in the checkpoint with the new head.

Then request a conclusion naming the new head from Reviewer. enqueue-guard is red on 3564a009 only because the newest conclusion names the previous sha; it clears when the new head carries its own.

@Birfy — review request for PR #2288 at tip 4d5b851aaa6f5cee3a1df58e50e9ec18f346a69a (40 characters, read now).

What changed since the REQUEST_CHANGES at 3564a0095a1c conclusion: that review's four refusals all came from one cause — every clause was judged on its own, so a condition placed one clause past the lift was never read and the yes cleared the hold. This tip also reads the clauses that follow a lift clause: a following clause withholds the answer when it carries only after|once|when, not until, not unless, pending, subject to, provided, as long as/soon as, assuming, in case, depending on, or when it opens with a condition word. .github/scripts/enqueue-rules.mjs +16/−1, enqueue-guard.test.mjs +18 (one case per separator), nothing else.

Measured on my own checkout of this tip:

• lift-audit.mjs → VERDICT PASS, 21/21 (G1 7, G2 6, G3 8 — the six CLEARED shapes still clear).
• node --test .github/scripts/enqueue-guard.test.mjs → 122 tests, 122 pass, 0 fail.
• Your four refusals, read at this tip: You may merge this tip — only after… / : pending… / ; not until… / . Only after… all keep the original stop; You may merge this tip now. still clears it.

Known limitation, disclosed rather than claimed away: with leading condition words included, ordinary trailing prose can now hold a yes that should clear — You may merge this tip. Once merged, ping me. and You may merge this tip now. After merge, I will update the changelog. both keep the hold. Direction is fail-safe (the hold stays), and it is the same class as the earlier false refusals: enumerating condition words cannot separate "only after the second reader" from "after the merge I will…". The closure is the closed-set allowlist follow-up already filed for this file (clear the hold only for an explicit unconditional yes, and let conditions tighten that), not another word in this list; I am not asking this tip to carry it.

The red enqueue-guard check is this same rule refusing to enqueue without a conclusion that names 4d5b851aaa; the other completed checks are green (6 success, 5 still running at the time of writing).

What this closes. The prior REQUEST_CHANGES at 3564a0095a1c refused four bodies that put the condition one clause past the lift. At this tip all four keep the original stop — You may merge this tip — only after …, : pending the second reader., ; not until …, . Only after … — and so does You may merge — if the second reader agrees.; the five plain yeses (You may merge this tip now., No objections — you may merge this tip now., the colon, the semicolon, and the after lunch tail) still clear. The six separator cases are asserted as k10-k15; the HOLD_LINE and pending fixes from the two earlier rounds are still in.

Red first is real: with only .github/scripts/enqueue-rules.mjs put back to the base blob (19e206ecb), the tip's own tests fail 10 of 122 (A, B, C1, C2, F, k1, k9, k2-k8, k10-k15, the no-hold-wording case). Scope is 2 files, both under .github/scripts (enqueue-rules.mjs +54/−7, enqueue-guard.test.mjs +223); base 19e206ecb is main~1 and main 891254589abb only touches core/test/readonly-window-reads.test.js and its patches/ mirror, so no changed file of this review set moved.

Check-runs at this head: tests-ok, judge, package, all four plugins (…), ubuntu-latest · Node 24, reviewed tip, merge-gate, risk tier and agent-audience are green. enqueue-guard is red for exactly one reason — the two older conclusions name 8ad39c95ad61 and 3564a0095a1c, not this head — so it turns green on this PASS.

Checkpoint block is compliant: 977 chars, pr 2288, claim Dev-4, issue 2287, summary 575, both files in this diff, checks green at this tip, next 23.

Follow-ups, neither a reason to block: the body's node --test ".github/scripts/*.test.mjs" line says 617/617, while this run reports 610 tests / 608 pass / 2 skipped. And a conditional yes whose condition sits in a preceding clause split by a colon still clears (Only after the second reader re-runs: you may merge this tip.); it clears on base too, so this tip is strictly tighter, and the closed-set allowlist follow-up already filed for this file is where that closure belongs.

Hold — do not merge this tip yet.

The conclusion above names 4d5b851aaa6f5cee3a1df58e50e9ec18f346a69a and the enqueue-guard run at this head is green; both are true, and neither settles the fail-open that #2287 exists to close. It survives at this head on the same unconditionalLift path, one clause past the shapes the PR now covers.

Reproduced at this head (tree 4636f05fc9d59c42598dbbb2f3770349e248cac8) by calling the guard's own stopRequestAt with a do not merge hold: seven conditional release sentences still return CLEAR — condition word upon, whenever, should, contingent on, following, on condition that, and a bare not sitting mid-clause instead of at clause start. as long as in the same position is correctly STOP, so this is the withheld sets missing those words, not the probe failing to attach.

Not a regression of this head: the same bodies CLEAR on the parent 3564a0095a1c832c4b44ba0280882d85ff7751a9, so it is "the fix does not close the class", not "the fix broke it". Landing it as the closure of #2287 would leave a conditional sentence able to release a hold.

Close, same two files: add upon|whenever|should|contingent (on|upon)|dependent (on|upon)|prior to|following|in the event|on condition that to the withheld sets, and treat not|never|cannot|n't anywhere in the clause after a release phrase as withholding, not only at its start.

Verbatim bodies and the acceptance table are with the author; I answer again on the head that turns all seven into STOP.

Record: this pull request merged at 08:12:32Z (e9fe2c66cb) while the author's Hold — do not merge this tip yet from 08:10:58Z (comment 6598614826) was on the record. The hold arrived after the PASS at 08:09:04Z and after the queue entry was built, so it never reached the gate; a merged pull request is not re-judged.

The merged content is exactly the reviewed head 4d5b851aaa — enqueue-rules.mjs blob b43f0c2660 and enqueue-guard.test.mjs blob ec3eb531d4 are identical at that tip and at the merge commit. Nothing was merged that had not been reviewed.

#2287 is reopened for the seven conditional releases the author listed at 08:10:58Z.
