escalate: bootc fork PRs #18/#30/#36 P0 stale, refresh blocked by handback permissions

Fork PRs cgwalters-forge/bootc#18, /30, /36 (a stack: #36 on #30 on #18) are P0 and stale; #36 also conflicts with main. Dispatch runs (39051125887, 39051111783, 39051106180) each handed back nothing: the series includes protected .github/workflows/ci.yml, which handback rules prohibit, and handback accepts only main as base (not the stacked parent); add_comment was also not an allowed output.

Judgment needed: authorize a workflow-path replacement run with a stacked base, or have the series refreshed by a local worker/manually and pushed to the fork. Recommendation: a local bot-claude worker rebases the stack (#18 then #30 then #36) onto upstream main and pushes to the fork, since the CI workflow change is the fork PR's own content; needs your OK on the protected-path part.

✅ dispatch ended well. Result: #756 (comment)

Triage (21 Oct): still valid, and it needs your decision. On current tracker main a dispatched run still can't refresh these PRs, and the work hasn't landed upstream.

What I checked

The blocker is still there. In .github/agentic-job/dispatch.toml, [unprotected_files].repos doesn't list cgwalters-forge/bootc, so a run can't hand back a series that touches .github/workflows/ci.yml. c62a3f7 (20 Oct) only relaxed the file-name list, not .github/, and not for bootc.
A stacked base isn't actually needed. bootc: key Secure Boot signing layers on the test cert (build cache) #18, composefs-rs: fix clippy collapsible_else_if in composefs-capi mount.rs (newer toolchains) #30 and bootc tmt number 50 collides: main already has test-install-on-ostree=50; #2501, #2503, forge #22 (and #2448) add 50 too #36 all target main, and each one carries the whole series as cumulative commits. bases = ["main"] would be enough once the .github/ path is allowed.
The stack is already out of step. bootc: key Secure Boot signing layers on the test cert (build cache) #18 is a9a0d51d, 8628d14d, ccc70d3c. composefs-rs: fix clippy collapsible_else_if in composefs-capi mount.rs (newer toolchains) #30 is a9a0d51d, 8628d14d, 354c29be, bd84fec9: it has a squashed version of the prepare-root.conf fixture fix that bootc: key Secure Boot signing layers on the test cert (build cache) #18 lacks (comment). bootc tmt number 50 collides: main already has test-install-on-ostree=50; #2501, #2503, forge #22 (and #2448) add 50 too #36 still sits on the old composefs-rs: fix clippy collapsible_else_if in composefs-capi mount.rs (newer toolchains) #30 (d40b533b...1ad219c1) and CONFLICTING; it still edits the deleted bootc-experimental-composefs.7.md. Per that comment, bootc: key Secure Boot signing layers on the test cert (build cache) #18 alone fails at install on current upstream.
Upstream doesn't cover it yet. bootc-dev/bootc main has test-49-composefs-1-16-bridge.nu, but no Dockerfile.composefs-1-16-stager and no btrfs leg in ci.yml. Open upstream tmt: Generate one file per test and plan, drop test numbers bootc-dev/bootc#2581 ("drop test numbers") will rename test-49 and probably cause one more conflict.
The failed runs: 39051125887, 39051111783, 39051106180.

Decision for @cgwalters. How should the fork's CI-workflow edits get refreshed?

(A) Add cgwalters-forge/bootc to [unprotected_files].repos, in dispatch.toml and in fix.toml. Then ordinary implement replacement runs against main can refresh the series. The org ruleset 25084478 meets the review condition from 13 Oct. But the fork's main only tracks upstream and nothing merges into it, so in practice the gate is your /promote upstream.
(B) A local worker, or you, rebases and force-pushes once, with no config change. This is the escalation's recommendation.
(C) Collapse the stack first: close bootc: key Secure Boot signing layers on the test cert (build cache) #18 and composefs-rs: fix clippy collapsible_else_if in composefs-capi mount.rs (newer toolchains) #30 into one rebased bootc tmt number 50 collides: main already has test-install-on-ostree=50; #2501, #2503, forge #22 (and #2448) add 50 too #36, or into composefs-rs: fix clippy collapsible_else_if in composefs-capi mount.rs (newer toolchains) #30 if the GC check isn't wanted yet. Then refresh that one PR through A or B.

My recommendation is C+A: one PR is easier to keep fresh than a stack that has already drifted, and A means the next upstream move doesn't need another escalation. Whichever you pick, it would be best to rebase after bootc-dev/bootc#2581 lands or is dropped.

Dispatched the plan in #756 (comment): run.

Triage (24 Oct): no job plan yet. This still needs @cgwalters to decide. Nothing has changed since the 21 Oct triage asked for a decision, and nobody has answered it.

cgwalters-forge/bootc is still missing from [unprotected_files].repos in dispatch.toml and fix.toml. So any implement run that hands back the series's .github/workflows/ci.yml edit gets refused, the same way runs 39051125887, 39051111783 and 39051106180 did. An implement plan posted now would fail the same way.
The PRs haven't moved since 17 Oct: bootc#18 and composefs-rs: fix clippy collapsible_else_if in composefs-capi mount.rs (newer toolchains) #30 are mergeable, bootc tmt number 50 collides: main already has test-install-on-ostree=50; #2501, #2503, forge #22 (and #2448) add 50 too #36 is still CONFLICTING, and composefs-rs: fix clippy collapsible_else_if in composefs-capi mount.rs (newer toolchains) #30 still has a fixture fix that bootc: key Secure Boot signing layers on the test cert (build cache) #18 lacks. All three target main, so a stacked base isn't needed.
Upstream tmt: Generate one file per test and plan, drop test numbers bootc-dev/bootc#2581 (drops test numbers, renames test-49-composefs-1-16-bridge.nu) is still open. Upstream still has no Dockerfile.composefs-1-16-stager.

Decision needed (options from the previous comment):

(A) List cgwalters-forge/bootc in [unprotected_files].repos, in both tomls.
(B) Have a local worker or you rebase and force-push once.
(C) Collapse the stack into one PR first.

If you choose C+A, the next triage can post an implement plan with two steps: a tracker config change, then one replacement run on bootc against main that refreshes the collapsed PR. B needs no job plan from the board. Either way, it may be worth waiting for #2581 to land or be closed first, so the refresh doesn't need redoing.

Dispatched the plan in #756 (comment): run.

Triage (25 Oct): still waiting on @cgwalters. No job plan. Nothing has changed since the 24 Oct triage, and nobody has answered its decision request.

On tracker main (5ffeabc), cgwalters-forge/bootc is still not listed in [unprotected_files].repos in dispatch.toml or fix.toml. An implement run that refreshes the series would still be refused for .github/workflows/ci.yml.
bootc#18, composefs-rs: fix clippy collapsible_else_if in composefs-capi mount.rs (newer toolchains) #30 and bootc tmt number 50 collides: main already has test-install-on-ostree=50; #2501, #2503, forge #22 (and #2448) add 50 too #36 were last updated on 17 Oct. All three target main, and bootc tmt number 50 collides: main already has test-install-on-ostree=50; #2501, #2503, forge #22 (and #2448) add 50 too #36 is still CONFLICTING. Upstream tmt: Generate one file per test and plan, drop test numbers bootc-dev/bootc#2581 is still open.

To unblock this, choose one of the earlier options: (A) list bootc in both tomls, (B) a one-time local or manual rebase and force-push, or (C) collapse the stack, then do A or B. With C+A, the next triage can post a two-step implement plan. B needs no plan.

Question for the operator (from the audit of the needs-human queue): bootc fork stack: list cgwalters-forge/bootc in unprotected_files (A), one-time manual rebase+force-push (B), or collapse the stack then A/B (C)?
