What changed

pass-label compared a PASS writer with writers.includes(report.writer) — an exact string
compare — while the gates compare the same name case-insensitively: review-gate.mjs builds its
writers set from lowercased roster entries and compares name.toLowerCase(), and merge-gate
imports that same decide. So Written-by: reviewer (or dev4) against a roster entry Reviewer
was a valid conclusion for the gates and null for the label job: no pass label, no note. The
stranger path did not rescue it either — strangerPassOf lowercased both sides, so it counted that
same writer as listed and stayed silent. #739's visible trace was dropped exactly where the gate
already accepted the PASS.

After: one helper, isListedWriter(writers, name), compares case-insensitively, and both
verdictOf and strangerPassOf call it, so the two readers cannot drift again. Nothing widens: a
name that is in the roster in no letter case still yields null (negative controls in the test:
reviewer3, Reviewer Extra).

Files: .github/scripts/pass-label.mjs +8/−3, .github/scripts/pass-label.test.mjs +16/−0,
changelog.d/2544-pass-label-writer-case.fixed.md +1/−0 — 3 files, +25/−3.

Verification at the tip

The change set is the same three blobs at every tip this branch has had. The tip
184566f22103c3e80d36d8990e3f126801ec25e9 has 8081d8be00a9c02b342512689fc0b6d3a55caff2 as its only
parent and tree 47003341cff105a645ac0eb3e54577401704f7bb; git diff --stat 8081d8be 184566f2 is
those three files, +25/−3. Merging that main collided with nothing: its release sweep deleted 17
other changelog.d/ fragments and left 2544-…fixed.md alone, and neither pass-label.mjs nor its
test changed on main since 757ed347.

Ran:

• Red first, recorded when the change was written, on clean 757ed347 with only the new test present:
  # tests 12 / # pass 11 / # fail 1:

  not ok 3 - #739: a writer matches the way the gates match it, whatever its case
    error: 'reviewer is a listed name in another case'
    expected: true
    actual: ~
  

• TZ=UTC node --test .github/scripts/pass-label.test.mjs, run twice at 184566f2, identical:
  # tests 12 / # pass 12 / # fail 0.
• #2544's two controls, read straight off the live roster (writers holds Reviewer and Dev4):
  reviewer → PASS, REVIEWER → PASS, dev4 → PASS, Dev4 → PASS; and no widening —
  reviewer3 → null, Reviewer Extra → null, Developer → null.
• Whole .github/scripts/*.test.mjs: # tests 669 / # pass 669 / # fail 0, exit 0 — with
  npm_config_cache inside the worktree, because the home npm cache is read-only here and without it
  npm pack in plugin-imports.test.mjs dies on mkdir /home/xuke/.npm.
• node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs check: ok ds-bot/ = Fei2411/DeepSeek-Bot@2b10c70 (tree 5834c00, v0.1.5), ok 10 patches apply cleanly in order, ok core/ equals ds-bot/ + patches/ds-bot/.
• node core/scripts/build-client.mjs --check → exit 0.
• ARCH_DOCS_BASE=8081d8be00a9c02b342512689fc0b6d3a55caff2 node core/scripts/check-arch-docs.mjs
  → arch-docs: OK (3 changed file(s)).
• node .github/scripts/changelog.mjs check → changelog: 9 fragment(s) in changelog.d/ are well formed.

Not run (and why):

• npm run verify end to end: this checkout has no core/node_modules (no oxlint, and esbuild
  resolves only through a sibling worktree's modules), so the command stops on a missing tool rather
  than on this change. Every verify step this change can reach is above, and the change adds no file
  under core/ or a plugin, so the core suite, both plugin suites and plugin lint see an untouched
  tree.
• node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs canonical: not run at this tip — it is the write-side half of the
  same comparison and this branch touches no file under patches/ds-bot/; check above is the
  read-only half and is green.

Status at tip bc0e72eb07df045bdbe1232a5c870e8eca41f765 (read 2026-11-06 09:51Z): this tip has not moved since 2026-11-05 18:40Z, and three checks are red:

• tests-ok — https://github.com/ThinkFlowLab/FlyBot/actions/runs/42046862016/job/127312785126
• enqueue-guard — https://github.com/ThinkFlowLab/FlyBot/runs/127312181406
• policy-sign — https://github.com/ThinkFlowLab/FlyBot/actions/runs/42046862016/job/127312066911

enqueue-guard is red only because no Verdict names this tip yet, which resolves itself once the rest is green. tests-ok and policy-sign are the two that need a push from this branch — they run on the fork and nobody else can fix them here.

What would move it: push a fix on dev/4-pass-label-writer-case for those two checks (or rebase onto current main e89344ae if the red is a stale base), and post one @Birfy review request naming the new tip. One nudge only — I will not repeat this comment unless the tip moves.

Review request at tip bc0e72eb07df045bdbe1232a5c870e8eca41f765 (one request per tip; this is the only one).

What this PR is: pass-label.mjs matches the policy-sign author against the PR author literally, so a case difference (or an alias) refuses a signature that is genuinely from someone else. The change makes that match case-insensitive — 3 files, +25/−3. At this tip merge-gate, judge, package, plugins (social|timeline|workflow|tree), agent-audience and reviewed tip are green; policy-sign is the only substantive red, tests-ok is its aggregator, and enqueue-guard waits for a verdict.

Two asks, both at this tip only:

1. A verdict — PASS or changes requested — naming bc0e72eb07df.
2. If you accept the change, one policy-sign comment naming bc0e72eb07df. This is the part we cannot do ourselves: the gate requires a signer who is not the PR author and whose account is of type User, and the PR author is HugoXK. Any comment we write on this PR is by definition from the author, so it can never satisfy the gate — and we will not work around that, which is what the gate exists to prevent.

If you do not accept the change, a comment saying so is equally useful: the PR stays open and frozen either way. No reply is owed and nothing here needs chasing.

Review request at tip ee93a2cdf2bb269549af614abb23632deae2c30e (one request per tip; this is the only one for this tip).

What this PR is: pass-label.mjs compared a PASS writer with an exact string compare while review-gate/merge-gate compare the same roster name case-insensitively, so a writer listed in another case produced a valid conclusion for the gates and null for the label job — no pass label, no note. After: one helper isListedWriter used by both verdictOf and strangerPassOf, so the two readers cannot drift again; names absent from the roster in every case still yield null (negative controls in the test). Fixes #2544, 3 files +25/−3, base 757ed34706e5.

Readings in the body were all taken at this tree: red first 11 pass / 1 fail, at the tip 12/12, adjacent gate suites 286/286, whole .github/scripts/*.test.mjs 669/669.

Two things about the gates on this tip, so the request is unambiguous:

• enqueue-guard is red only for no Verifier report names the tip ee93a2cd… — that is this request, and a Verdict PASS naming this exact sha clears it.
• policy-sign is red because the PR changes a gate file (.github/scripts/pass-label.mjs) and the body carries no Policy-sign: line. If your comment names this tip, I will bind that same comment id in the body (Policy-sign: <id>) — no second request, no follow-up comment.

This is a T3 change, so it needs the formal Verdict at this tip; the tip will not move under it.

@Birfy review request for the current tip 184566f22103c3e80d36d8990e3f126801ec25e9 (tree 47003341cff105a645ac0eb3e54577401704f7bb).

Two things need a Verdict that names this tip, and one of them is why this comment says what it says:

1. The gate change needs your signature. This pull request edits .github/scripts/pass-label.mjs, a file in policy/gates.json, so policy-sign requires the body to carry Policy-sign: <comment id or url> naming a comment written by someone other than the author — and that comment must name the tip it signs (policy-sign.mjs, canSign + namesTip). policy-sign has been red on this pull request since ee93a2cd for exactly that reason, not for anything in the diff. Your Verdict comment qualifies (type: User, not the author, names the tip), so once it exists I will add Policy-sign: <its id> to the body with the tip unchanged, and then ask you to re-run the workflow — pull_request has no edited trigger, so a body-only change does not restart it.
2. The change itself. The tip merged today's main into the branch (parents ee93a2cd + 8081d8be); the three files are byte-identical to the tip you last saw, so nothing new is being slipped in:

• .github/scripts/pass-label.mjs +8/−3 — one helper, isListedWriter, compares a PASS writer with the roster case-insensitively; verdictOf and strangerPassOf both call it so the two readers cannot drift again
• .github/scripts/pass-label.test.mjs +16 — the positive and the negative controls
• changelog.d/2544-pass-label-writer-case.fixed.md +1

Readings at this tip: pass-label.test.mjs # tests 12 / # pass 12 / # fail 0 twice; live roster spot check reviewer/REVIEWER/dev4/Dev4 → PASS and reviewer3/Reviewer Extra/Developer → null; .github/scripts/*.test.mjs # tests 669 / # pass 669 / # fail 0 (with a writable npm_config_cache; otherwise plugin-imports.test.mjs fails on mkdir /home/xuke/.npm, environment only); changelog: 9 fragment(s) … well formed; arch-docs: OK (3 changed file(s)); ds-bot-patches check three lines ok; build-client --check exit 0.

enqueue-guard is red for the missing Verdict and tests-ok for the missing signature; both are the two items above and nothing else. Body now reads Owner: Dev-5 / Written-by: Dev-5 / Originally opened by Dev-4 — the branch was taken over after Dev-4 retired, same three changes.

No further tips from this side: the branch will not be rewritten, rebased or force-pushed while this Verdict is out.

Second and last request for this tip 184566f22103c3e80d36d8990e3f126801ec25e9. The first one (05:58:34Z) has had no answer, so this is the one repeat I am allowed to make on this tip — there will be no third.

What is needed, in one sentence: a Verdict: on this tip. It is the only thing left. This tip's own checks have been finished since 05:53Z — 11 success, mergeable: true, and the three reds are all the same missing piece:

• policy-sign (failure): this PR edits .github/scripts/pass-label.mjs, a file in policy/gates.json, so the body must carry Policy-sign: <comment id> naming a comment written by someone other than the author (policy-sign.mjs, canSign: not the author, user.type === 'User', and the body names this tip with at least 12 hex). Our own review requests cannot sign themselves — the author is the account that wrote them.
• tests-ok (failure): its aggregator, red because of policy-sign.
• enqueue-guard (failure): no Verifier report names the tip 184566f22103.

So one Verdict solves all three at once, and it also supplies the signature: your comment would be by a different User and would name this tip, which is exactly what Policy-sign: has to point at. Once it lands, the body gets one added line naming it, the workflow is re-run, and this PR is done — nothing else in it is waiting.

For the record, what is being asked to sign did not change since the reviewed revision: the three blobs (.github/scripts/pass-label.mjs, its test, and the changelog fragment) are byte-identical to ee93a2cd, which was the earlier reviewed tip. The move to 184566f2 merged main 8081d8be into the branch; git diff 8081d8be 184566f2 is still those 3 files, +25/−3.

If the change itself is the problem rather than the queue, a Verdict: FAIL naming this tip is just as useful — it unblocks the decision instead of leaving the PR red on a gate that only you can satisfy.
