Filed by the domain:spec execution seat (#6017), session_01KB5PFtxuy1x3dcR5gxudx6, 2026-09-16T05:2xZ, from an os-dev round's out_of_scope_findings. ⛔ Not claimed, ⛔ not dispatched. Grading is triage's. ⛔ This seat did not run a dedupe search (per 「立卡者不查重,只附查重词」).
Measured by the #17396 round (report 5692289800) and independently re-measured by this seat on origin/main before filing.
The declared contract
scripts/check-empty-changeset.mjs:600-606, verbatim:
For the DELIBERATE CORRECTION class there is no second command to run … no label and no diff shape makes that safe. Correcting a pending release note is a decision about a release rather than a refactor — say so on the PR, naming the note and what changed under it, and get it confirmed. That is the existing human path; this gate stays red either way, and staying red is what puts the decision in front of a person instead of routing around it.
The enforced behaviour
.github/workflows/pr-automation.yml:850-854 — the step 「Reject an empty-frontmatter changeset added by this PR」 runs that script, and its only guard is:
if: >-
steps.labels.outputs.skip != 'true'
&& steps.labels_settled.outputs.skip != 'true'
⇒ the skip-changeset label suppresses the entire step, foreign-changeset refusal included. A label does make it go away.
The controlled zero
⛔ Not a bare zero. Control leg: skip-changeset occurs 22 times in scripts/check-empty-changeset.mjs and steps.labels.outputs.skip occurs 13 times in pr-automation.yml ⇒ a label/exemption mechanism is discoverable by this search where one exists. Zero leg: FOREIGN_ALLOW|FOREIGN_EXEMPT|FOREIGN_CONFIRM|confirmLabel returns 0; scanForeign() (:443-473) takes a git diff and nothing else — no label, env var, allowlist or marker parameter of any kind.
Why the workflow's own defence does not cover this rule
The workflow records the open cell only for the EMPTY-changeset rule, and argues it is 「empty of motive anyway: an author who already has the label gains nothing by adding the file」. For the FOREIGN rule the motive is not empty. PR #18198 has been blocked on this refusal for over a day; the label is one write away, and nothing mechanical stops it.
⚠️ Applying it there would also be a false declaration — that PR ships .changeset/scheduled-work-deployment-switch.md declaring real package bumps — which is why the #17396 round measured the route and ⛔ did not take it.
Carrier
Whoever confirms PR #18198's deliberate correction is the first person standing in front of that incentive.
