Subject: [PATCH 05/19] fix(ci): restrict SBOM generation to lts branch only
(#1140)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Summary
This PR ensures SBOMs are only generated on the `lts` production branch,
not on `main` branch or pull requests.
## Problem
The `build-dx-hwe.yml` workflow had inconsistent SBOM generation logic
compared to all other build workflows:
- **build-dx-hwe.yml**: Generated SBOMs on main branch (incorrect)
- **All other workflows**: Only generated SBOMs on lts branch (correct)
## Solution
Aligned `build-dx-hwe.yml` SBOM logic with the other 4 workflows:
```yaml
sbom: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/lts' }}
```
## Impact
After this change, SBOMs will **only** be generated when:
- ✅ Event is NOT a pull request
- ✅ Branch is `lts` (production branch)
- ❌ Branch is `main` (testing branch) - **NO SBOMs**
- ❌ Pull requests to any branch - **NO SBOMs**
## Testing
- [ ] Syntax validation passes
- [ ] Logic matches other workflows:
- build-regular.yml ✅
- build-regular-hwe.yml ✅
- build-dx.yml ✅
- build-gdx.yml ✅
- build-dx-hwe.yml ⚠️ (fixed by this PR)

Subject: [PATCH 06/19] revert: restore SBOM generation on main branch (#1141)
## Summary
This reverts commit 16aa2b3 (PR #1140) to restore the original SBOM
generation behavior.
## Reason for Revert
The previous PR was merged without proper review. Opening this revert so
the change can be properly reviewed by Copilot and maintainers before
proceeding.
## What This Revert Does
Restores the original SBOM generation logic in all workflow files:
- `build-dx-hwe.yml` - back to generating SBOMs on main branch
- All other workflows - back to their previous state
## Next Steps
After this revert is merged, a new PR will be opened with the SBOM fix
for proper review.

Subject: [PATCH 07/19] fix(ci): restrict SBOM generation to lts branch only
(#1142)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Summary
This PR ensures SBOMs are only generated on the `lts` production branch,
not on `main` branch or pull requests.
## Problem
The `build-dx-hwe.yml` workflow currently generates SBOMs on all non-PR
builds, including the `main` branch. This is inconsistent with the other
build workflows which only generate SBOMs on the `lts` production
branch.
### Current State
| Workflow | SBOM Generation Logic | Generates on main? |
|----------|----------------------|-------------------|
| build-regular.yml | `github.event_name != 'pull_request' && github.ref
== 'refs/heads/lts'` | ❌ No |
| build-regular-hwe.yml | `github.event_name != 'pull_request' &&
github.ref == 'refs/heads/lts'` | ❌ No |
| build-dx.yml | `github.event_name != 'pull_request' && github.ref ==
'refs/heads/lts'` | ❌ No |
| build-gdx.yml | `github.event_name != 'pull_request' && github.ref ==
'refs/heads/lts'` | ❌ No |
| **build-dx-hwe.yml** | `github.event_name != 'pull_request'` | ⚠️
**Yes** (inconsistent) |
## Solution
Align `build-dx-hwe.yml` with the other workflows:
```yaml
sbom: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/lts' }}
```
## Impact
After this change, SBOMs will **only** be generated when:
- ✅ Event is NOT a pull request
- ✅ Branch is `lts` (production branch per `reusable-build-image.yml`
line 76)
SBOMs will **NOT** be generated when:
- ❌ Branch is `main` (testing branch per `reusable-build-image.yml` line
77)
- ❌ Event is a pull request
## Testing
- [x] Syntax validation: Change aligns with existing pattern in 4 other
workflows
- [x] Logic verified: All 5 workflows will have identical SBOM
generation logic
- [x] Conventional commit format used
## Checklist
- [x] Change is minimal and surgical
- [x] Conventional commit message used
- [x] AI attribution included in commit footer

Subject: [PATCH 08/19] feat: switch lts builds to cron-only schedule (#1138)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Summary
This prevents automatic builds/publishes on lts branch from pull app
promotions while maintaining the ability to manually trigger releases.
## Changes
- ✅ Remove `lts` from push triggers (keeps `main` only)
- ✅ Add weekly cron schedule (Sunday 2 AM UTC) for all 5 build workflows
- ✅ Conditional publish: only on `lts` if scheduled or manual dispatch
- ✅ PRs to `lts` still validate (build without publish)
- ✅ `main` branch continues to build/publish to `:lts-testing`
## Benefits
- 🚫 No accidental production releases from pull app merges
- 📅 Controlled weekly production releases via cron
- 🎯 Manual release capability via workflow_dispatch
- 📝 Proper changelog generation when GDX build completes on schedule
## Testing
- [x] Syntax validated with `just check`
- [x] Shellcheck linting passed
- [ ] Should test with manual workflow_dispatch on `lts` branch after
merge
## Related
Fixes the issue where changelogs weren't being generated because builds
on `lts` were happening from pull app promotions instead of
scheduled/manual runs.

Subject: [PATCH 13/19] fix(ci): prevent accidental LTS tag publishing from
pull bot PRs (#1147)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Summary
This PR fixes accidental production tag publishes from pull bot PRs to
the `lts` branch by implementing a dispatcher pattern for scheduled
releases.
### Changes Made
1. **Created dispatcher workflow** (`scheduled-lts-release.yml`)
- Runs weekly on Sunday at 2 AM UTC
- Triggers all 5 build workflows on `lts` branch via `workflow_dispatch`
- Solves the problem that GitHub Actions `schedule:` triggers always run
on default branch
2. **Updated all 5 build workflows**:
- Removed `lts` from `pull_request:` triggers (no longer trigger on pull
bot PRs)
- Added `lts` to `push:` triggers (validation builds on pull bot merges)
- Removed `schedule:` sections (moved to dispatcher)
- Updated `publish:` conditions to only publish on:
- `workflow_dispatch` events (cron dispatcher + manual triggers)
- `push` to `main` branch (`:lts-testing` tags)
### Workflow Behavior Matrix
| Event | Branch | Triggers? | Publishes? | Tags |
|-------|--------|-----------|------------|------|
| PR to main | `main` | ✅ | ❌ | none |
| Merge to main | `main` | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts-testing` |
| PR to lts | `lts` | ❌ | ❌ | none |
| Merge to lts | `lts` | ✅ | ❌ | none (validation only) |
| Cron Sun 2am | `main` | ✅ | ❌ | none (dispatcher) |
| Dispatcher | `lts` | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts` (production) |
| Manual dispatch | `lts` | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts` |
### Problem Fixed
**Before:** Pull bot PRs to `lts` triggered all 5 build workflows and
published production tags (`:lts`, `:lts.YYYYMMDD`)
**After:** Pull bot PRs to `lts` do NOT trigger workflows. Production
tags only publish via:
- Weekly cron schedule (Sunday 2 AM UTC)
- Manual `workflow_dispatch` on `lts` branch
**Evidence of bug:** PR #1144 (pull bot) triggered runs:
- #22586907105 (Build Bluefin LTS)
- #22586905020 (Build Bluefin LTS DX)
- #22586905071 (Build Bluefin LTS GDX)
All published production tags from PR event instead of scheduled event.
### Testing Plan
After merge, need to verify:
- [ ] Pull bot PRs to `lts` do NOT trigger workflows
- [ ] Pull bot merges to `lts` DO trigger validation builds but do NOT
publish
- [ ] Manual dispatcher trigger works and publishes production tags
- [ ] Merges to `main` still publish `:lts-testing` tags
### Branch Protection Update Required
The `lts` branch protection needs manual updates (web UI or API):
- Change required approvals from 2 → 1
- Disable force pushes (currently enabled)
- Enable conversation resolution
- Enable dismiss stale reviews
Current settings:
```json
{
"approvals": 2,
"force_pushes": true,
"enforce_admins": false
}
```
### Related Issues
Fixes the accidental production tag publishing issue observed on
2026-03-02.
### Implementation Notes
- All commits follow conventional commit format
- Syntax validated with `just check`
- Linting validated with `just lint` (no new warnings introduced)
- Plan documented in `docs/plans/2026-03-02-fix-lts-tag-publishing.md`

+# Fix LTS Tag Publishing - Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Prevent accidental production tag publishes from pull bot PRs to `lts` branch. Production tags (`:lts`, `:lts.YYYYMMDD`) should ONLY publish via weekly cron schedule or manual workflow_dispatch on `lts` branch.
+
+**Architecture:** Remove `lts` from workflow pull_request triggers. Create dispatcher workflow on `main` that triggers production builds on `lts` via workflow_dispatch. Update GitHub branch protection to enforce `lts` branch discipline.
+
+**Tech Stack:**
+- GitHub Actions (scheduled workflows, workflow_dispatch, reusable workflows)
+- GitHub CLI (`gh`) for workflow dispatch
+- Branch protection rules
+
+**Status:** ✅ Design improved and ready for implementation (v2 - added lts validation builds)
+
+---
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+**Current Broken Behavior (as of 2026-03-02):**
+
+1. **Pull bot creates PR from `main` → `lts`** (PR #1144, opened ~17:08 UTC)
+2. **Workflows trigger on the PR** because all 5 build workflows have:
+ ```yaml
+ pull_request:
+ branches:
+ - lts # ← THIS IS THE BUG
+ ```
+3. **Production tags get published** from PR events (not just from `lts` branch merges)
+4. **Tags published about an hour ago** when they should only publish via weekly Sunday 2 AM UTC cron
+
+**Evidence:**
+- Run #22586907105: "Build Bluefin LTS" triggered by PR event
+- Run #22586905020: "Build Bluefin LTS DX" triggered by PR event
+- Run #22586905071: "Build Bluefin LTS GDX" triggered by PR event
+- All published production `:lts` tags despite being PR-triggered
+
+**Root Cause:**
+Commit a3e9a6a (on `main`, not yet on `lts`) attempted to fix this by removing `lts` from `push:` triggers, but **left `lts` in `pull_request:` triggers**. This is incomplete.
+
+**Additional Issue:**
+GitHub Actions `schedule:` triggers ALWAYS run on the default branch (`main`), not `lts`. Current cron would build from `main` branch, not production `lts` branch.
+
+---
+
+## Solution Design
+
+### Core Strategy
+
+**Workflow Trigger Matrix:**
+
+| Event | Branch | Should Trigger? | Should Publish? | Tags Published |
+|-------|--------|----------------|-----------------|----------------|
+| PR opened | `main` | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | none (validation only) |
+| PR merged | `main` | ✅ Yes (push) | ✅ Yes | `:lts-testing` |
+| Pull bot PR | `lts` | ❌ **NO** | ❌ No | none |
+| Pull bot merge | `lts` | ✅ **YES** (validation) | ❌ **NO** | none (build only) |
+| Cron (Sun 2am) | `main` | ✅ Yes (dispatcher) | ❌ No | none (dispatcher only) |
+| Dispatcher trigger | `lts` | ✅ Yes (workflow_dispatch) | ✅ Yes | `:lts` (production) |
+| Manual dispatch | `lts` | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | `:lts` (production) |
+| Manual dispatch | `main` | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | `:lts-testing` |
+
+### Dispatcher Pattern (Solve Cron on Wrong Branch)
+
+Since cron runs on `main` (default branch), we need:
+
+```
+schedule (on main) → dispatcher workflow → workflow_dispatch (on lts) → builds + publish
+```
+
+**Flow:**
+1. Sunday 2 AM UTC: `scheduled-lts-release.yml` runs on `main`
+2. Dispatcher uses `gh workflow run` to trigger all 5 builds on `lts` branch
+3. Builds run on `lts` with `workflow_dispatch` event
+4. Publish condition allows publishes from `lts` branch
+5. Production tags (`:lts`) get published
+
+### Branch Protection Enforcement
+
+Configure `lts` branch protection to:
+- Require PR approval before merging
+- Prevent direct pushes (except pull bot + maintainers)
+- Disable force pushes
+- Ensure only vetted code reaches production
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Tasks
+
+### Task 1: Create Dispatcher Workflow
+
+**File:**
+- Create: `.github/workflows/scheduled-lts-release.yml`
+
+**Step 1: Write the dispatcher workflow**
+
+```yaml
+name: Scheduled LTS Release
+
+on:
+ schedule:
+ - cron: '0 2 * * 0' # Weekly on Sunday at 2 AM UTC
+ workflow_dispatch: # Allow manual triggering
+
+permissions:
+ contents: read
+ actions: write
+
+jobs:
+ trigger-lts-builds:
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+ steps:
+ - name: Trigger all LTS builds on lts branch
+ env:
+ GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
+ run: |
+ # Trigger all 5 build workflows on lts branch
+ gh workflow run build-regular.yml --ref lts -R ${{ github.repository }}
+ gh workflow run build-dx.yml --ref lts -R ${{ github.repository }}
+ gh workflow run build-gdx.yml --ref lts -R ${{ github.repository }}
+ gh workflow run build-regular-hwe.yml --ref lts -R ${{ github.repository }}
+ gh workflow run build-dx-hwe.yml --ref lts -R ${{ github.repository }}
+
+ echo "✅ Triggered all 5 LTS build workflows on lts branch"
+ echo "View workflow runs at: ${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }}/actions"
+```
+
+**Step 2: Update publish condition**
+
+**Current (line 33):**
+```yaml
+publish: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' }}
+```
+
+**Fixed:**
+```yaml
+publish: ${{ github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' || (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main') }}
+```
+
+**Why:**
+- Publish on `workflow_dispatch` (cron dispatcher + manual on lts)
+- Publish on `push` to `main` (testing tags)
+- Do NOT publish on `push` to `lts` (pull bot validation builds)
+
+**Step 3: Validate syntax**
+
+Run: `just check`
+Expected: No errors
+
+**Step 4: Commit the fix**
+
+```bash
+git add .github/workflows/build-regular.yml
+git commit -m "fix(ci): update build-regular.yml triggers and publish condition
+
+Changes:
+- Remove lts from pull_request trigger (no PR builds)
+- Add lts to push trigger (validation builds on merge)
+- Update publish condition (only workflow_dispatch or push to main)
+- Remove schedule (moved to dispatcher)
+
+This prevents accidental production tag publishes from pull bot PRs
+while maintaining validation builds on pull bot merges.
+
+Production publishes only via:
+- Weekly cron dispatcher (scheduled-lts-release.yml)
+- Manual workflow_dispatch on lts branch

+```
+

+
+### Task 3: Fix build-dx.yml Triggers
+
+**File:**
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/build-dx.yml`
+
+**Step 1: Apply same trigger and publish fixes as build-regular.yml**
+
+Remove `- lts` from `pull_request: branches:` (line 12)
+Add `- lts` to `push: branches:` (after line 15)
+Remove `schedule:` section (lines 16-17)
+Update `publish:` condition (line 34) to:
+```yaml
+publish: ${{ github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' || (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main') }}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Validate syntax**
+
+Run: `just check`
+Expected: No errors
+
+**Step 3: Commit the fix**
+
+```bash
+git add .github/workflows/build-dx.yml
+git commit -m "fix(ci): update build-dx.yml triggers and publish condition
+
+Same fix as build-regular.yml - prevents accidental production
+tag publishes from pull bot PRs while maintaining validation builds.
+
+Assisted-by: Claude 3.5 Sonnet via GitHub Copilot"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 4: Fix build-gdx.yml Triggers
+
+**File:**
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/build-gdx.yml`
+
+**Step 1: Apply same trigger and publish fixes**
+
+Remove `- lts` from `pull_request: branches:`
+Add `- lts` to `push: branches:`
+Remove `schedule:` section
+Update `publish:` condition (line 35) to:
+```yaml
+publish: ${{ github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' || (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main') }}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Validate syntax**
+
+Run: `just check`
+Expected: No errors
+
+**Step 3: Commit the fix**
+
+```bash
+git add .github/workflows/build-gdx.yml
+git commit -m "fix(ci): update build-gdx.yml triggers and publish condition
+
+Same fix as other build workflows.
+
+Assisted-by: Claude 3.5 Sonnet via GitHub Copilot"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 5: Fix build-regular-hwe.yml Triggers
+
+**File:**
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/build-regular-hwe.yml`
+
+**Step 1: Apply same trigger and publish fixes**
+
+Remove `- lts` from `pull_request: branches:`
+Add `- lts` to `push: branches:`
+Remove `schedule:` section
+Update `publish:` condition (line 39) to:
+```yaml
+publish: ${{ github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' || (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main') }}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Validate syntax**
+
+Run: `just check`
+Expected: No errors
+
+**Step 3: Commit the fix**
+
+```bash
+git add .github/workflows/build-regular-hwe.yml
+git commit -m "fix(ci): update build-regular-hwe.yml triggers and publish condition
+
+Same fix as other build workflows.
+
+Assisted-by: Claude 3.5 Sonnet via GitHub Copilot"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 6: Fix build-dx-hwe.yml Triggers
+
+**File:**
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/build-dx-hwe.yml`
+
+**Step 1: Apply same trigger and publish fixes**
+
+Remove `- lts` from `pull_request: branches:`
+Add `- lts` to `push: branches:`
+Remove `schedule:` section
+Update `publish:` condition (line 39) to:
+```yaml
+publish: ${{ github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' || (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main') }}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Validate syntax**
+
+Run: `just check`
+Expected: No errors
+
+**Step 3: Commit the fix**
+
+```bash
+git add .github/workflows/build-dx-hwe.yml
+git commit -m "fix(ci): update build-dx-hwe.yml triggers and publish condition
+
+Completes the fix across all 5 build workflows.
+
+All workflows now:
+- Trigger on PRs to main (validation)
+- Trigger on pushes to main (publish :lts-testing)
+- Trigger on pushes to lts (validation, no publish)
+- Trigger on workflow_dispatch (manual or from dispatcher)
+- Do NOT trigger on pull bot PRs to lts
+
+Assisted-by: Claude 3.5 Sonnet via GitHub Copilot"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 7: Verify Publish Conditions (UPDATED in Tasks 2-6)
+
+**Note:** This task was previously a read-only check. The publish conditions are now UPDATED in Tasks 2-6.
+
+**Files modified:**
+- `.github/workflows/build-regular.yml:33`
+- `.github/workflows/build-dx.yml:34`
+- `.github/workflows/build-gdx.yml:35`
+- `.github/workflows/build-regular-hwe.yml:39`
+- `.github/workflows/build-dx-hwe.yml:39`
+
+**New publish condition (applied in all workflows):**
+```yaml
+publish: ${{ github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' || (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main') }}
+```
+
+**Why this is needed:**
+- Old condition: `publish: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' }}`
+ - ❌ Would publish on push to lts (pull bot merges)
+- New condition: Only publish on:
+ - ✅ `workflow_dispatch` (cron dispatcher + manual)
+ - ✅ `push` to `main` (testing tags)
+ - ❌ NOT on `push` to `lts` (validation only)
+
+**Verification:**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+grep "publish:" .github/workflows/build-*.yml
+```
+
+Expected: All show the new condition with `workflow_dispatch` and `main` checks
+
+```bash
+echo "✅ Publish conditions updated in Tasks 2-6"
+echo "Tag naming logic unchanged in reusable-build-image.yml"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 8: Update Branch Protection for lts
+
+**Location:** GitHub repository settings (web UI)
+
+**Note:** Branch protection already exists but needs updating.
+
+**Step 1: Navigate to branch protection settings**
+
+1. Go to: `https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin-lts/settings/branches`
+2. Click "Edit" on existing `lts` protection rule
+3. Branch name pattern: `lts`
+
+**Step 2: Update required settings**
+
+**Current state verified:**
+- Required approvals: 2
+- Force pushes: ENABLED (needs to be DISABLED)
+- Enforce admins: DISABLED
+
+**Update to:**
+```
+☑ Require a pull request before merging
+ ☑ Require approvals: 1 (change from 2)
+ ☑ Dismiss stale pull request approvals when new commits are pushed
+ ☐ Require review from Code Owners (not needed)
+
+☑ Require status checks to pass before merging
+ ☐ Require branches to be up to date before merging (can cause issues with pull bot)
+ Required checks: (leave empty - workflows don't run on lts PRs anymore)
+
+☑ Require conversation resolution before merging
+
+☐ Require signed commits (optional - up to team preference)
+
+☐ Require linear history (not recommended - pull bot uses hardreset)
+
+☑ Do not allow bypassing the above settings
+ (Alternative: Allow only specific people - castrojo, tulilirockz, hanthor)
+
+☑ Restrict who can push to matching branches
+ Allowed: pull[bot], castrojo, tulilirockz, hanthor
+
+☐ Allow force pushes (DISABLE - currently enabled, needs to be disabled)
+
+☐ Allow deletions (keep disabled)
+```
+
+**Step 3: Save and verify**
+
+Click "Save changes"
+
+Expected: Branch protection updated on `lts`
+
+**Step 4: Verify configuration**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+gh api repos/ublue-os/bluefin-lts/branches/lts/protection | jq '{approvals: .required_pull_request_reviews.required_approving_review_count, force_pushes: .allow_force_pushes.enabled, enforce_admins: .enforce_admins.enabled}'
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```json
+{
+ "approvals": 1,
+ "force_pushes": false,
+ "enforce_admins": true
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 9: Update Documentation
+
+**File:**
+- Modify: `docs/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md` (add lts branch section)
+
+**Step 1: Add lts branch protection section**
+
+Add after line 241:
+
+```markdown
+
+## LTS Branch Protection (2026-03)
+
+**Settings applied to `lts` branch:**
+
+### Required Settings
+
+1. **Require pull request before merging**
+ - Require approvals: 1
+ - Dismiss stale approvals when new commits are pushed
+
+2. **Do not allow bypassing settings**
+ - Enforce for administrators: Yes
+
+3. **Restrict who can push**
+ - Allowed: pull[bot], castrojo, tulilirockz, hanthor
+
+4. **Block force pushes**
+ - Force pushes: DISABLED
+
+**Purpose:**
+- Prevent accidental direct pushes to `lts`
+- Ensure pull bot PRs get reviewed before merge
+- Maintain production branch discipline
+- Prevent force push accidents
+
+**Workflow Integration:**
+- Pull bot creates PRs from `main` → `lts` (no CI triggers)
+- PRs must be approved before merging
+- Merging to `lts` does NOT publish images (workflows don't trigger)
+- Production publishes happen via:
+ - Weekly cron dispatcher (Sunday 2 AM UTC)
+ - Manual workflow_dispatch on `lts` branch
+
+**Emergency Access:**
+- Maintainers can run workflow_dispatch on `lts` for immediate releases
+- Maintainers can bypass branch protection if absolutely necessary (if enforce_admins is disabled)
+```
+
+**Step 2: Commit documentation update**
+
+```bash
+git add docs/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md
+git commit -m "docs: document lts branch protection configuration
+
+Added section explaining lts branch protection settings
+and how they integrate with the workflow changes."
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 10: Test Dispatcher (Manual)
+
+**Prerequisites:** All previous tasks completed and merged to `main`
+
+**Step 1: Manually trigger dispatcher**
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run scheduled-lts-release.yml --ref main
+```
+
+**Step 2: Verify dispatcher runs**
+
+```bash
+# Check dispatcher run
+gh run list --workflow=scheduled-lts-release.yml --limit 1
+
+# Wait ~30 seconds for workflows to be dispatched
+
+# Check if builds triggered on lts
+gh run list --branch=lts --limit 10
+```
+
+**Expected:**
+- Dispatcher completes successfully
+- 5 build workflows triggered on `lts` branch
+- All show event: `workflow_dispatch`
+- All show branch: `lts`
+
+**Step 3: Monitor build progress**
+
+```bash
+# Watch build progress
+gh run watch
+
+# Or view all runs
+gh run list --branch=lts --limit 10 --json event,conclusion,headBranch,workflowName
+```
+
+**Expected (after ~30-60 minutes):**
+- All 5 builds complete successfully
+- Production tags published: `:lts`, `:lts.20260302`, etc.
+- SBOM artifacts generated
+- No `:lts-testing` tags published
+
+**Step 4: Verify tags in registry**
+
+```bash
+# Check published tags (requires skopeo)
+skopeo list-tags docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin | grep -E "^lts" | tail -10
+```
+
+**Expected:**
+- `:lts` tag updated with new digest
+- `:lts.YYYYMMDD` tag created (today's date)
+- `:lts-testing` unchanged (not from this run)
+
+**Step 5: Document test results**
+
+```bash
+# No commit - just verification
+echo "✅ Manual dispatcher test completed successfully"
+echo "Production tags published: lts, lts.YYYYMMDD"
+echo "Ready for weekly cron schedule"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 11: Test Pull Bot PR Flow
+
+**Prerequisites:** All changes merged to `main` and synced to `lts`
+
+**Step 1: Wait for pull bot PR or create test PR**
+
+Wait for pull bot to create a new PR from `main` → `lts`, or manually create one for testing:
+
+```bash
+# Option A: Wait for pull bot (preferred)
+# Check for existing PR
+gh pr list --base lts
+
+# Option B: Create test PR (if needed for immediate testing)
+git checkout lts
+git pull upstream lts
+git checkout -b test-lts-pr-flow
+git merge upstream/main --no-edit
+git push origin test-lts-pr-flow
+
+gh pr create --base lts --head test-lts-pr-flow \
+ --title "[TEST] Verify lts PR doesn't trigger workflows" \
+ --body "Testing that PRs to lts no longer trigger build workflows"
+```
+
+**Step 2: Verify NO workflows triggered**
+
+```bash
+# Check recent runs
+gh run list --limit 20 --json event,headBranch,displayTitle,conclusion,createdAt
+
+# Should NOT see any runs for the test PR
+```
+
+**Expected:**
+- ❌ No "Build Bluefin LTS" runs triggered
+- ❌ No "Build Bluefin LTS DX" runs triggered
+- ❌ No runs for any build workflows
+
+**Step 3: Close test PR (if created manually)**
+
+```bash
+gh pr close --delete-branch
+```
+
+**Step 4: Document test results**
+
+```bash
+# No commit - just verification
+echo "✅ Pull bot PR test completed successfully"
+echo "PRs to lts do NOT trigger workflows (as intended)"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 12: Test Main Branch Publishing
+
+**Prerequisites:** All changes merged and active
+
+**Step 1: Create small test PR to main**
+
+```bash
+git checkout main
+git pull upstream main
+git checkout -b test-main-publish
+echo "# Test $(date)" >> .test-publish-marker.txt
+git add .test-publish-marker.txt
+git commit -m "test: verify main branch publishes lts-testing tags"
+git push origin test-main-publish
+
+gh pr create --base main --head test-main-publish \
+ --title "[TEST] Verify main publishes :lts-testing tags" \
+ --body "Testing that merges to main still publish testing tags"
+```
+
+**Step 2: Wait for PR checks and merge**
+
+```bash
+# Wait for CI
+gh pr checks --watch
+
+# Merge when green
+gh pr merge --merge
+```
+
+**Step 3: Verify testing tags published**
+
+```bash
+# Check runs after merge
+gh run list --branch=main --event=push --limit 5
+
+# Wait for builds to complete (~30-60 minutes)
+# Monitor one of the runs
+gh run watch
+
+# Verify testing tags published
+skopeo list-tags docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin | grep testing | tail -10
+```
+
+**Expected:**
+- ✅ All 5 build workflows triggered on push to main
+- ✅ Builds publish `:lts-testing`, `:lts-testing.YYYYMMDD` tags
+- ❌ No `:lts` production tags published
+
+**Step 4: Clean up test file**
+
+```bash
+git checkout main
+git pull upstream main
+git rm .test-publish-marker.txt
+git commit -m "chore: remove test marker file"
+git push upstream main
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 13: Final Validation Checklist
+
+**Step 1: Run validation checks**
+
+```bash
+# Syntax validation
+just check
+
+# Lint validation
+just lint
+
+# Verify all workflows exist
+ls -1 .github/workflows/*.yml | wc -l
+# Expected: 6 workflows (5 builds + 1 dispatcher)
+
+# Verify no lts in pull_request triggers
+grep -n "pull_request:" .github/workflows/build-*.yml -A 3 | grep "lts"
+# Expected: No output (no matches)
+
+# Verify no schedule in build workflows
+grep -n "schedule:" .github/workflows/build-*.yml
+# Expected: No output (no matches)
+
+# Verify dispatcher exists
+test -f .github/workflows/scheduled-lts-release.yml && echo "✅ Dispatcher exists" || echo "❌ Missing"
+
+# Verify branch protection configured
+gh api repos/ublue-os/bluefin-lts/branches/lts/protection --silent && echo "✅ Branch protection active" || echo "⚠️ Not configured yet"
+```
+
+**Step 2: Review workflow behavior matrix**
+
+| Event | Branch | Triggers? | Publishes? | Tags |
+|-------|--------|-----------|------------|------|
+| PR to main | `main` | ✅ | ❌ | none |
+| Merge to main | `main` | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts-testing` |
+| PR to lts | `lts` | ❌ | ❌ | none |
+| Merge to lts | `lts` | ✅ | ❌ | none (validation build) |
+| Cron Sun 2am | `main` | ✅ | ❌ | none (dispatcher) |
+| Dispatcher | `lts` | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts` (production) |
+| Manual dispatch | `lts` | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts` |
+| Manual dispatch | `main` | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts-testing` |
+
+**Step 3: Document completion**
+
+All items should be verified:
+
+```bash
+echo "Validation Checklist:"
+echo "- [x] Dispatcher workflow created"
+echo "- [x] All 5 build workflows updated (triggers + publish conditions)"
+echo "- [x] lts added to push triggers (validation builds)"
+echo "- [x] lts removed from pull_request triggers (no PR builds)"
+echo "- [x] Publish conditions updated (workflow_dispatch or main push only)"
+echo "- [x] Branch protection configured for lts"
+echo "- [x] Documentation updated"
+echo "- [x] Manual dispatcher test passed"
+echo "- [x] Pull bot PR test passed (no triggers)"
+echo "- [x] Pull bot merge test passed (builds but no publish)"
+echo "- [x] Main branch publish test passed (testing tags)"
+echo "- [x] Syntax validation passed"
+echo "- [x] No accidental production tag publishes"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+If issues occur after implementation:
+
+### Quick Rollback (Emergency)
+
+```bash
+# Manually trigger production release
+gh workflow run build-regular.yml --ref lts
+gh workflow run build-dx.yml --ref lts
+gh workflow run build-gdx.yml --ref lts
+gh workflow run build-regular-hwe.yml --ref lts
+gh workflow run build-dx-hwe.yml --ref lts
+```
+
+### Full Revert
+
+```bash
+# Revert all workflow changes
+git revert
+git push upstream main
+
+# Re-enable lts in pull_request triggers temporarily
+# (Manual edit or revert to previous commit)
+```
+
+### Partial Rollback
+
+If only dispatcher is problematic:
+
+```bash
+# Keep workflow trigger fixes
+# Remove/disable dispatcher
+git rm .github/workflows/scheduled-lts-release.yml
+git commit -m "revert: remove dispatcher (issues found)"
+
+# Use manual workflow_dispatch only for releases
+```
+
+---
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Potential Improvements (YAGNI for now)
+
+1. **Slack/Discord notifications** when dispatcher runs
+2. **GitHub issue creation** when dispatcher fails
+3. **Automatic changelog generation** trigger from dispatcher
+4. **Parallel dispatcher** (trigger all 5 workflows in parallel, not sequential)
+5. **Dispatcher retry logic** if workflow trigger fails
+6. **Branch protection audit workflow** to verify settings
+7. **Automated testing** of publish behavior (complicated)
+
+---
+
+## Validation Commands Reference
+
+```bash
+# Check recent workflow runs
+gh run list --limit 20
+
+# Check runs on specific branch
+gh run list --branch=lts --limit 10

+```
+
+---
+
+## Verification Results (2026-03-02)
+
+**Plan verified against current codebase:**
+
+✅ File paths and line numbers accurate
+✅ Current state matches plan assumptions
+✅ All 5 workflows have `lts` in `pull_request: branches:` (line 12)
+✅ All 5 workflows have `schedule:` cron (lines 16-17)
+✅ Dispatcher doesn't exist yet (needs creation)
+✅ Branch protection exists but needs updating (2 approvals → 1, force push enabled → disabled)
+✅ Tag naming logic verified in `reusable-build-image.yml:161-164`
+✅ PRODUCTION_BRANCH constant set to `lts` in `reusable-build-image.yml:76`
+✅ Publish conditions don't need changes
+
+**Plan Status:** ✅ Verified and ready for implementation
+
+---
+
+**Estimated Time:**
+- Implementation: 1-2 hours (workflow file edits + branch protection config)
+- Testing: 1-2 hours (wait for builds, verify behavior)
+- Total: 2-4 hours
+
+**Risk Level:** Low
+- Changes are isolated to workflow triggers
+- Rollback is straightforward
+- Testing can be done incrementally
+- No changes to build logic itself

Subject: [PATCH 14/19] fix(ci): prevent branch pollution by replacing pull app
with manual workflow (#1152)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Summary
This PR implements a comprehensive 3-layer defense to prevent branch
pollution caused by AI agents accidentally merging `lts` → `main`.
### Problem
AI agents see branch divergence between `main` and `lts` and attempt to
"sync" by merging in the wrong direction (`lts` → `main`), causing old
commits to pollute the git history.
### Solution: 3-Layer Defense
**Layer 1: Manual Promotion Workflow**
- Replace automatic Pull app with manual GitHub Actions workflow
- Created `.github/workflows/promote-to-lts.yml` (manual
`workflow_dispatch` only)
- Deleted `.github/pull.yml` (automatic pull app config)
- Operators manually trigger promotions when ready
**Layer 2: Renovate Restriction**
- Updated `.github/renovate.json5` to only target `main` branch
- Prevents Renovate from creating PRs against `lts`
- All dependency updates flow through `main` → testing → promotion
**Layer 3: Validation Build Triggers** (Critical Fix)
- Added `lts` to push triggers in all 5 build workflows
- Fixes missing implementation from commit 8ed6d20
- Enables validation builds when promotion PRs merge to `lts`
- Builds trigger but **DO NOT publish** (cron-only publishing preserved)
### Workflow Behavior After This PR
| Event | Branch | Triggers? | Publishes? | Tags |
|-------|--------|-----------|------------|------|
| PR to main | main | ✅ | ❌ | none |
| Merge to main | main | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts-testing` |
| PR to lts | lts | ❌ | ❌ | none |
| **Merge to lts** | **lts** | **✅** | **❌** | **validation only** |
| Cron Sun 2am | main | ✅ (dispatcher) | ❌ | none |
| Dispatcher trigger | lts | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts` (production) |
### Decoupled Promotion & Release
**Promotion** (manual):
1. Operator triggers `promote-to-lts.yml` workflow
2. PR auto-created from `main` → `lts`
3. Operator reviews and merges
4. Validation builds trigger (no publish)
**Release** (separate):
1. Sunday cron OR manual trigger
2. `scheduled-lts-release.yml` dispatches builds on `lts`
3. Production images published to ghcr.io with `:lts` tags
### Changes Made
```
8 files changed, 70 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-)
```
- ✅ Deleted `.github/pull.yml`
- ✅ Created `.github/workflows/promote-to-lts.yml`
- ✅ Updated `.github/renovate.json5` (added `baseBranches: ["main"]`)
- ✅ Modified 5 build workflows (added `lts` to push triggers)
### Testing
- ✅ `just check` passed
- ✅ `just lint` passed (no new warnings)
- 📋 After merge: Test promotion workflow creates PR correctly
- 📋 After merge: Test validation builds trigger on lts merge (no
publish)
### Post-Merge Actions
- [ ] Manually uninstall Pull app from repository settings (user will
handle)
- [ ] Test promotion workflow via Actions → "Promote Main to LTS"
- [ ] Verify validation builds trigger without publishing
### Related
Fixes the branch pollution issue and completes the missing
implementation from commit 8ed6d20.

Subject: [PATCH 17/19] fix(ci): prevent production LTS tag pollution from main
branch merges (#1154)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Summary
Fixes a critical bug where merges to `main` branch were accidentally
pushing container images to the production `:lts` tag instead of the
testing `:lts-testing` tag.
## Problem
The manifest generation step (line 372) had incorrect conditional logic:
- **Build step (line 161)**: Simple condition `if [ "${REF_NAME}" !=
"${PRODUCTION_BRANCH}" ]` - adds `-testing` for all non-production
branches ✅
- **Manifest step (line 372)**: Complex condition that only added
`-testing` for PRs/merge groups - omitted pushes to main ❌
This caused:
- Build step creates image tagged `lts-testing` ✅
- Manifest step pushes manifest with tag `lts` ❌
- **Result**: Production tag gets polluted with testing builds!
## Solution
- Line 372: Changed from complex condition to simple `if [ "${REF_NAME}"
!= "${PRODUCTION_BRANCH}" ]` to match build step logic
- Line 375: Fixed `CENTOS_VERSION_SUFFIX` to append suffix instead of
replacing (preserves `-hwe` when present)
## Evidence
- Bug introduced in commit `0566080` (PR #1101) which fixed the build
step but forgot the manifest step
- Registry shows `:lts-testing` tags exist but haven't been updated
since Feb 22 (builds were cancelled)
- Production `:lts` tags show recent activity through Mar 2
## Verification
- ✅ `just check && just lint` passes
- ✅ Test script confirms push to main will now tag as `lts-testing` not
`lts`

-# Weekly LTS Promotion Workflow - Implementation Plan
-
-> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
-
-**Goal:** Automate weekly LTS releases with smart retry mechanism, ensuring changes bake in -testing for 24h before promoting to stable.
-
-**Architecture:** GitHub Actions workflow on `main` branch with aggressive 6-hour polling Tuesday-Friday. Merges pullapp PR (main→lts) when conditions met, triggering automatic stable image builds.
-
-**Tech Stack:**
-- GitHub Actions (scheduled workflows)
-- GitHub CLI (`gh`) for PR operations
-- Bash scripting for condition checks
-- Branch protection bypass configuration
-
-**Status:** ✅ Plan reviewed and corrected (2026-02-14, round 2)
-
-**Fixes Applied (Round 1):**
-- Fixed tracking issue week calculation (handles Tuesday edge case correctly)
-- Added error handling for commit timestamp parsing
-- Added force mode audit trail (logs who forced promotion)
-- Fixed all relative URLs to absolute paths (PR/issue comments, workflow links)
-- Enhanced verification command to show both apps and users
-
-**Fixes Applied (Round 2 - Code Review):**
-- **C1:** Removed `--auto` from `gh pr merge` (merge immediately, not deferred)
-- **C2:** Defaulted FORCE_PROMOTE to `'false'` for scheduled runs
-- **C3:** Guarded `statusCheckRollup` against null (PRs with no checks)
-- **I1:** Simplified 13 cron entries to single `0 */6 * * TUE-FRI`
-- **I3:** Removed dead Monday/Sunday branches from week calculation
-- **I5:** Fixed misleading security claim about bypass scope
-- **R3:** Added concurrency group to prevent overlapping runs
-- **R5:** Added fork guard (`if: github.repository == 'ublue-os/bluefin-lts'`)
-- **M1:** Removed unnecessary checkout step (workflow only uses `gh` CLI)
-- **M3:** Removed `promotion-override` label (YAGNI, kept in Future Enhancements)
-- **M4:** Moved PR comment before merge command (PR may close on merge)
-
----
-
-## Problem Statement
-
-**Current State:**
-- Changes merge to `main` → auto-publish `lts-testing` images
-- Pull app bot creates PR #1100 (main → lts) automatically
-- **Manual step:** Maintainer reviews and merges pullapp PR weekly
-- Merge to `lts` → auto-publish stable `lts` images
-
-**Issues:**
-1. Manual merge required every week (toil)
-2. Timing inconsistent (last promotions: Feb 2, Jan 26, Jan 18 - irregular)
-3. No enforcement of testing time in -testing images
-4. Cron in workflow files removed (complicates branch management)
-
-**Goal:**
-- Weekly LTS releases on Tuesdays
-- Automatic promotion when ready
-- Mandatory 24h baking time in -testing
-- Smart retry if Tuesday blocked by timing
-
----
-
-## Solution Design
-
-### Workflow Schedule (6-Hour Polling, Tuesday-Friday)
-
-**Schedule:** `cron: '0 */6 * * TUE-FRI'` — runs at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, 18:00 UTC each day, Tuesday through Friday (up to 16 attempts per week).
-
-**Rationale:**
-- Normal case: Promotes on first Tuesday attempt
-- Monday night merges: Caught by early Tuesday check (after 24h baking)
-- Continuous updates: Eventually oldest commits age past 24h threshold
-- Maximum delay: 5 days (Friday → next Tuesday)
-- Most weekly runs are no-ops that exit in seconds after detecting a recent promotion
-
-### Promotion Conditions (All Must Pass)
-
-1. **No recent promotion:** Last merge to `lts` was ≥7 days ago
-2. **Pullapp PR exists:** Active PR from `main` to `lts` by pull[bot]
-3. **Has changes:** PR contains at least 1 commit
-4. **No hold:** PR does not have `promotion-hold` label
-5. **CI passing:** All status checks succeeded or skipped
-6. **24h baking:** Newest commit in PR is ≥24 hours old (strictest check)
-
-### Behavior
-
-**On Success:**
-- Adds comment explaining automated promotion (before merge)
-- Merges pullapp PR immediately with `--merge` strategy
-- Closes tracking issue (if exists)
-- Workflow skips remaining attempts until next Tuesday
-
-**On Block:**
-- Logs reason to workflow output
-- Creates/updates tracking issue (first block only)
-- Waits 6 hours for next attempt
-- Retries until Friday final attempt
-
-**On Permanent Block:**
-- Tracking issue remains open with status
-- Next Tuesday starts new cycle
-- Manual intervention available via labels
-
----
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-### 1. Branch Protection Configuration (REQUIRED)
-
-**Current State:**
-- `lts` branch requires 2 approving reviews before merge
-- No bypass allowances configured
-- Default `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot auto-merge
-
-**Required Change (Repository Admin):**
-
-1. Navigate to repository settings
- ```
- https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin-lts/settings/branch_protection_rules
- ```
-
-2. Edit `lts` branch protection rule
-
-3. Under "Require pull request reviews before merging":
- - Enable: "Allow specified actors to bypass pull request requirements"
- - Add actor: `github-actions[bot]` or the GitHub Actions app
- - Save changes
-
-**Security Note:** Adding `github-actions[bot]` to the bypass list allows ANY workflow using `GITHUB_TOKEN` to bypass reviews on `lts`. The promote-lts workflow restricts itself via the pullapp author check (software guard), but the platform-level bypass is broader. Consider this acceptable given the `lts` branch only receives merges from the pull app.
-
-**Verification:**
-```bash
-gh api repos/ublue-os/bluefin-lts/branches/lts/protection/required_pull_request_reviews \
- --jq '{apps: [.bypass_pull_request_allowances.apps[]? | .slug], users: [.bypass_pull_request_allowances.users[]? | .login]}'
-# Should show github-actions in the apps array
-```
-
-### 2. Labels Creation
-
-Create repository labels:
-```bash
-gh label create "promotion-tracking" \
- --description "Tracks weekly LTS promotion status" \
- --color "0E8A16"
-
-gh label create "promotion-hold" \
- --description "Blocks automated LTS promotion" \
- --color "D93F0B"
-```
-
----
-
-## Task 1: Create Promotion Workflow
-
-**Files:**
-- Create: `.github/workflows/promote-lts.yml`
-
-**Step 1: Create workflow file with schedule**
-
-Create `.github/workflows/promote-lts.yml`:
-
-```yaml
-name: Promote LTS Release
-
-on:
- schedule:
- # Every 6 hours Tuesday-Friday. Most weeks promote on the first
- # Tuesday attempt; the remaining runs are no-ops that exit early.

- --label "infrastructure" \
- --assignee castrojo \
- --body "## Required Configuration
-
-To enable the automated LTS promotion workflow, we need to configure branch protection bypass.
-
-### Action Required (Repository Admin)
-
-1. Navigate to [Branch Protection Settings](https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin-lts/settings/branches)
-2. Edit the \`lts\` branch protection rule
-3. Under **\"Require pull request reviews before merging\"**:
- - ✅ Enable: \"Allow specified actors to bypass pull request requirements\"
- - ➕ Add actor: \`github-actions[bot]\`
- - 💾 Save changes
-
-### Why This Is Needed
-
-- The \`lts\` branch currently requires 2 approving reviews
-- The promotion workflow needs to auto-merge the pullapp PR (main → lts)
-- Without bypass, workflow cannot merge despite passing all conditions
-
-### Security
-
-- Adding \`github-actions[bot]\` to bypass allows any workflow using GITHUB_TOKEN to bypass reviews on \`lts\`
-- The promote-lts workflow restricts itself to pullapp PRs via author check (software guard)
-- All other PRs from humans still require reviews
-- Acceptable risk: \`lts\` branch only receives merges from the pull app
-
-### Verification
-
-After configuration, verify with:
-\`\`\`bash
-gh api repos/ublue-os/bluefin-lts/branches/lts/protection/required_pull_request_reviews \\
- --jq '.bypass_pull_request_allowances.apps[] | select(.slug == \"github-actions\")'
-\`\`\`
-
-Should return GitHub Actions app details.

-
-**Step 2: Document current configuration**
-

-git add docs/branch-protection-lts-before.json
-git commit -m "docs: snapshot lts branch protection before bypass config"
-```

-
-## Task 4: Testing Strategy
-
-### Manual Testing (Before First Tuesday)
-
-**Test 1: Workflow syntax and basic execution**
-
-```bash
-# Trigger workflow manually (dry run)
-gh workflow run promote-lts.yml
-```
-
-Check workflow output for:
-- All condition checks execute
-- No script errors
-- Appropriate skip/block reason
-
-**Test 2: Simulate conditions with test PR**
-
-Option A: Use existing pullapp PR
-```bash
-# Check current PR state
-gh pr view 1100 --json number,commits,statusCheckRollup,labels
-
-# Workflow will skip if:
-# - Last promotion was <7 days ago (expected)
-# - Will log reason and exit cleanly
-```
-
-Option B: Create test label scenario
-```bash
-# Add promotion-hold label
-gh pr edit 1100 --add-label "promotion-hold"
-
-# Run workflow
-gh workflow run promote-lts.yml
-
-# Should detect label and block
-# Check run output
-
-# Remove label
-gh pr edit 1100 --remove-label "promotion-hold"
-```
-
-**Test 3: Force promotion (if bypass configured)**
-
-```bash
-# ONLY IF: Admin has configured bypass AND you want to test merge
-gh workflow run promote-lts.yml --field force=true
-
-# WARNING: This will actually merge the PR!
-# Only use if:
-# - Bypass is configured
-# - PR is ready to promote
-# - You understand this publishes stable images
-```
-
-### Monitoring First Scheduled Run
-
-**Next Tuesday 10am UTC:**
-
-1. Watch workflow execution:
-```bash
-gh run watch
-```
-
-2. Check for tracking issue creation:
-```bash
-gh issue list --label "promotion-tracking"
-```
-
-3. Verify behavior matches expectations:
- - If conditions met: PR merges, images build
- - If blocked: Issue created, will retry 4pm
-
-4. Monitor lts branch builds:
-```bash
-gh run list --branch lts --limit 5
-```
-
----
-
-## Task 5: Documentation Updates
-
-**Step 1: Update CONTRIBUTING.md (if exists)**
-
-Add section about automated releases:
-
-```markdown
-## Automated LTS Releases
-
-### Release Schedule
-
-LTS stable images are automatically promoted **weekly on Tuesdays** (or within that week if delayed).
-
-### How It Works
-
-1. Changes merge to `main` → `-testing` images published
-2. Changes "bake" in testing for minimum 24 hours
-3. Weekly promotion workflow checks conditions Tuesday-Friday
-4. When ready, pullapp PR auto-merges → stable `lts` images publish
-
-### Blocking a Release
-
-If you need to hold a release:
-
-```bash
-gh pr edit --add-label "promotion-hold"
-```
-
-Remove the label when ready to resume:
-
-```bash
-gh pr edit --remove-label "promotion-hold"
-```
-
-### Monitoring
-
-Track promotion status via:
-- Tracking issues labeled `promotion-tracking`
-- [Promote LTS Release workflow runs](../actions/workflows/promote-lts.yml)
-```
-
-**Step 2: Create operational runbook**
-
-Create `docs/runbooks/lts-promotion.md`:
-
-```markdown
-# LTS Promotion Runbook
-
-## Normal Operations
-
-The LTS promotion workflow runs automatically Tuesday-Friday every 6 hours.
-
-**Schedule:** Every 6 hours (00:00, 06:00, 12:00, 18:00 UTC), Tuesday through Friday.
-
-## Common Scenarios
-
-### Scenario: Promotion Delayed by Recent Commits
-
-**Symptom:** Tracking issue shows "newest commit only Xh old"
-
-**Expected Behavior:** Workflow will automatically retry every 6 hours until 24h threshold met
-
-**Action:** None required, monitor tracking issue for updates
-
-### Scenario: Need to Hold Promotion
-
-**Use Case:** Critical bug found in -testing images
-
-**Action:**
-```bash
-# Find pullapp PR
-gh pr list --base lts --author "app/pull"
-
-# Add hold label
-gh pr edit --add-label "promotion-hold"
-```
-
-**Result:** Workflow will skip until label removed
-
-### Scenario: Force Promotion (Emergency)
-
-**Use Case:** Critical fix needs immediate deployment
-
-**Action:**
-```bash
-gh workflow run promote-lts.yml --field force=true
-```
-
-**Warning:** Bypasses 24h age check. Use sparingly.
-
-### Scenario: Workflow Not Running
-
-**Check 1:** Verify workflow exists and is enabled
-```bash
-gh workflow view promote-lts.yml
-```
-
-**Check 2:** Check for workflow errors
-```bash
-gh run list --workflow=promote-lts.yml --limit 5
-```
-
-**Check 3:** Verify branch protection configured
-```bash
-gh api repos/ublue-os/bluefin-lts/branches/lts/protection/required_pull_request_reviews \
- --jq '.bypass_pull_request_allowances.apps'
-```
-
-Should show github-actions app.
-
-## Metrics
-
-### Success Rate
-
-```bash
-# Count successful promotions per month
-gh run list --workflow=promote-lts.yml --status success --created ">=YYYY-MM-01" --json conclusion --jq 'length'
-```
-
-### Average Promotion Time
-
-```bash
-# Time from PR creation to merge
-# Manual analysis of tracking issues
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Workflow Runs But Doesn't Merge
-
-**Possible Causes:**
-1. Branch protection bypass not configured
-2. GitHub Actions doesn't have write permissions
-3. PR conflicts exist
-4. PR was closed/merged manually
-
-**Check:**
-```bash
-# View latest run logs
-gh run view --log
-
-# Check PR status
-gh pr view --json mergeable,mergeStateStatus
-```
-
-### Tracking Issue Not Created
-
-**Expected:** Only created on first block attempt
-
-**Check:** Look for existing open issue with `promotion-tracking` label
-
-### Too Many Retries
-
-**If Friday final attempt still blocked:**
-- Promotion deferred to next Tuesday
-- Review tracking issue for persistent blockers
-- Consider manual intervention if urgent
-```
-
-**Step 3: Commit documentation**
-
-```bash
-git add docs/runbooks/lts-promotion.md
-git add CONTRIBUTING.md # if modified
-git commit -m "docs: add LTS promotion runbook and update contributing guide"
-```
-
----
-
-## Verification Checklist
-
-After full implementation:
-
-- [ ] Workflow file `.github/workflows/promote-lts.yml` exists and is valid
-- [ ] Labels created: `promotion-tracking`, `promotion-hold`
-- [ ] Issue created for admin to configure branch protection bypass
-- [ ] Branch protection bypass configured (admin action)
-- [ ] Workflow tested manually with `workflow_dispatch`
-- [ ] Documentation updated (CONTRIBUTING.md, runbooks)
-- [ ] Team notified of new automated promotion process
-- [ ] First Tuesday run monitored and successful
-
----
-
-## Rollback Plan
-
-If automation causes issues:
-
-**Step 1: Disable workflow**
-
-```bash
-gh workflow disable promote-lts.yml
-```
-
-**Step 2: Close open tracking issues**
-
-```bash
-gh issue list --label "promotion-tracking" --state open --json number \
- | jq -r '.[].number' \
- | xargs -I {} gh issue close {} --comment "Promotion workflow disabled, reverting to manual process"
-```
-
-**Step 3: Remove branch protection bypass**
-
-Admin action: Remove `github-actions[bot]` from lts branch bypass list
-
-**Step 4: Return to manual promotion**
-
-Resume manual merging of pullapp PRs as before
-
----
-
-## Success Metrics
-
-**Week 1-2 (Validation Phase):**
-- Workflow runs on schedule
-- Tracking issues created/closed appropriately
-- At least one successful auto-promotion
-- No false merges (promoting when conditions not met)
-
-**Week 3-4 (Optimization Phase):**
-- 90%+ promotions happen Tuesday or Wednesday
-- <5% require manual intervention
-- Team reports reduced toil
-
-**Month 2+ (Steady State):**
-- Weekly promotions occur automatically
-- Tracking issues rare (most promote first try)
-- Zero missed promotions
-- Clear audit trail of promotion history
-
----
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
-**Phase 2 Improvements:**
-
-1. **Slack/Discord notifications** on promotion success/failure
-2. **Promotion override label** for emergency bypasses
-3. **Metrics dashboard** showing promotion timing trends
-4. **Automatic changelog** generation from promoted commits
-5. **Dry-run mode** for testing changes to workflow
-6. **Smarter retry logic** based on CI completion time
-
-**Phase 3 Considerations:**
-
-1. **Multiple promotion tracks** (stable, beta, etc.)
-2. **Staged rollout** with canary deployments
-3. **Integration with release notes** generation
-4. **Automatic issue triage** for build failures

----
-
-**Plan created:** 2026-02-14
-**Estimated implementation time:** 2-3 hours + admin config + 1 week monitoring
-**Risk level:** Low-Medium (can disable anytime, manual override available)
-**Complexity:** Medium (workflow logic, branch protection, testing)
-
----
-
-## Implementation Notes
-
-### Execution Approach
-
-This plan can be executed in two ways:
-
-**Option A: Sequential (Recommended for first time)**
-- Implement Task 1 → Test → Implement Task 2 → etc.
-- Allows validation at each step
-- Easier to debug issues
-
-**Option B: Parallel (Faster, requires coordination)**
-- Task 1 & Task 2 (workflow + labels) can be done in parallel
-- Task 3 (bypass config) is blocking for actual promotion
-- Task 4 (testing) depends on Tasks 1-3
-- Task 5 (docs) can be done anytime
-
-**Recommended:** Sequential approach, especially for initial implementation.
-
-### Key Decision Points
-
-**Before Task 3:**
-- Confirm team agrees with 24h baking requirement
-- Review schedule (every 6 hours Tue-Fri appropriate?)
-- Verify label names match team conventions
-
-**Before First Tuesday:**
-- Ensure at least one maintainer understands the workflow
-- Document emergency contact if workflow fails
-- Have rollback plan ready
-
-### Coordination Required
-
-**With Repository Admins:**
-- Task 3 requires admin action (branch protection)
-- Can't proceed to production without this
-- Estimated time: 5 minutes for admin
-
-**With Team:**
-- Notify team of automation start date
-- Share runbook and emergency procedures
-- Set expectations for first few weeks (monitoring period)
-
----
-
-## Appendix: Example Timeline
-
-**Week 0 (Implementation):**
-- Monday: Implement Tasks 1-2, create admin request (Task 3)
-- Tuesday: Admin configures bypass, testing (Task 4)
-- Wednesday: Documentation (Task 5), team notification
-- Thursday-Friday: Buffer for issues
-
-**Week 1 (First Run):**
-- Tuesday 10am: First automatic attempt (likely succeeds)
-- Monitor throughout week
-- Document any issues
-
-**Week 2-3 (Validation):**
-- Continue monitoring
-- Adjust schedule/conditions if needed
-- Gather feedback from team
-
-**Week 4+ (Steady State):**
-- Automation running smoothly
-- Weekly promotions happen automatically
-- Manual intervention only for holds or emergencies

-# Fix LTS Tag Publishing - Implementation Plan
-
-> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
-
-**Goal:** Prevent accidental production tag publishes from pull bot PRs to `lts` branch. Production tags (`:lts`, `:lts.YYYYMMDD`) should ONLY publish via weekly cron schedule or manual workflow_dispatch on `lts` branch.
-
-**Architecture:** Remove `lts` from workflow pull_request triggers. Create dispatcher workflow on `main` that triggers production builds on `lts` via workflow_dispatch. Update GitHub branch protection to enforce `lts` branch discipline.
-
-**Tech Stack:**
-- GitHub Actions (scheduled workflows, workflow_dispatch, reusable workflows)
-- GitHub CLI (`gh`) for workflow dispatch
-- Branch protection rules
-
-**Status:** ✅ Design improved and ready for implementation (v2 - added lts validation builds)
-
----
-
-## Problem Statement
-
-**Current Broken Behavior (as of 2026-03-02):**
-
-1. **Pull bot creates PR from `main` → `lts`** (PR #1144, opened ~17:08 UTC)
-2. **Workflows trigger on the PR** because all 5 build workflows have:
- ```yaml
- pull_request:
- branches:
- - lts # ← THIS IS THE BUG
- ```
-3. **Production tags get published** from PR events (not just from `lts` branch merges)
-4. **Tags published about an hour ago** when they should only publish via weekly Sunday 2 AM UTC cron
-
-**Evidence:**
-- Run #22586907105: "Build Bluefin LTS" triggered by PR event
-- Run #22586905020: "Build Bluefin LTS DX" triggered by PR event
-- Run #22586905071: "Build Bluefin LTS GDX" triggered by PR event
-- All published production `:lts` tags despite being PR-triggered
-
-**Root Cause:**
-Commit a3e9a6a (on `main`, not yet on `lts`) attempted to fix this by removing `lts` from `push:` triggers, but **left `lts` in `pull_request:` triggers**. This is incomplete.
-
-**Additional Issue:**
-GitHub Actions `schedule:` triggers ALWAYS run on the default branch (`main`), not `lts`. Current cron would build from `main` branch, not production `lts` branch.
-
----
-
-## Solution Design
-
-### Core Strategy
-
-**Workflow Trigger Matrix:**
-
-| Event | Branch | Should Trigger? | Should Publish? | Tags Published |
-|-------|--------|----------------|-----------------|----------------|
-| PR opened | `main` | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | none (validation only) |
-| PR merged | `main` | ✅ Yes (push) | ✅ Yes | `:lts-testing` |
-| Pull bot PR | `lts` | ❌ **NO** | ❌ No | none |
-| Pull bot merge | `lts` | ✅ **YES** (validation) | ❌ **NO** | none (build only) |
-| Cron (Sun 2am) | `main` | ✅ Yes (dispatcher) | ❌ No | none (dispatcher only) |
-| Dispatcher trigger | `lts` | ✅ Yes (workflow_dispatch) | ✅ Yes | `:lts` (production) |
-| Manual dispatch | `lts` | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | `:lts` (production) |
-| Manual dispatch | `main` | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | `:lts-testing` |
-
-### Dispatcher Pattern (Solve Cron on Wrong Branch)
-
-Since cron runs on `main` (default branch), we need:
-
-```
-schedule (on main) → dispatcher workflow → workflow_dispatch (on lts) → builds + publish
-```
-
-**Flow:**
-1. Sunday 2 AM UTC: `scheduled-lts-release.yml` runs on `main`
-2. Dispatcher uses `gh workflow run` to trigger all 5 builds on `lts` branch
-3. Builds run on `lts` with `workflow_dispatch` event
-4. Publish condition allows publishes from `lts` branch
-5. Production tags (`:lts`) get published
-
-### Branch Protection Enforcement
-
-Configure `lts` branch protection to:
-- Require PR approval before merging
-- Prevent direct pushes (except pull bot + maintainers)
-- Disable force pushes
-- Ensure only vetted code reaches production
-
----
-
-## Implementation Tasks
-
-### Task 1: Create Dispatcher Workflow
-
-**File:**
-- Create: `.github/workflows/scheduled-lts-release.yml`
-
-**Step 1: Write the dispatcher workflow**
-
-```yaml
-name: Scheduled LTS Release
-
-on:
- schedule:
- - cron: '0 2 * * 0' # Weekly on Sunday at 2 AM UTC
- workflow_dispatch: # Allow manual triggering
-
-permissions:
- contents: read
- actions: write
-
-jobs:
- trigger-lts-builds:
- runs-on: ubuntu-latest
- steps:
- - name: Trigger all LTS builds on lts branch
- env:
- GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
- run: |
- # Trigger all 5 build workflows on lts branch
- gh workflow run build-regular.yml --ref lts -R ${{ github.repository }}
- gh workflow run build-dx.yml --ref lts -R ${{ github.repository }}
- gh workflow run build-gdx.yml --ref lts -R ${{ github.repository }}
- gh workflow run build-regular-hwe.yml --ref lts -R ${{ github.repository }}
- gh workflow run build-dx-hwe.yml --ref lts -R ${{ github.repository }}
-
- echo "✅ Triggered all 5 LTS build workflows on lts branch"
- echo "View workflow runs at: ${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }}/actions"
-```
-
-**Step 2: Update publish condition**
-
-**Current (line 33):**
-```yaml
-publish: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' }}
-```
-
-**Fixed:**
-```yaml
-publish: ${{ github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' || (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main') }}
-```
-
-**Why:**
-- Publish on `workflow_dispatch` (cron dispatcher + manual on lts)
-- Publish on `push` to `main` (testing tags)
-- Do NOT publish on `push` to `lts` (pull bot validation builds)
-
-**Step 3: Validate syntax**
-
-Run: `just check`
-Expected: No errors
-
-**Step 4: Commit the fix**
-
-```bash
-git add .github/workflows/build-regular.yml
-git commit -m "fix(ci): update build-regular.yml triggers and publish condition
-
-Changes:
-- Remove lts from pull_request trigger (no PR builds)
-- Add lts to push trigger (validation builds on merge)
-- Update publish condition (only workflow_dispatch or push to main)
-- Remove schedule (moved to dispatcher)
-
-This prevents accidental production tag publishes from pull bot PRs
-while maintaining validation builds on pull bot merges.
-
-Production publishes only via:
-- Weekly cron dispatcher (scheduled-lts-release.yml)
-- Manual workflow_dispatch on lts branch

-
-### Task 3: Fix build-dx.yml Triggers
-
-**File:**
-- Modify: `.github/workflows/build-dx.yml`
-
-**Step 1: Apply same trigger and publish fixes as build-regular.yml**
-
-Remove `- lts` from `pull_request: branches:` (line 12)
-Add `- lts` to `push: branches:` (after line 15)

-```
-
-**Step 2: Validate syntax**
-
-Run: `just check`
-Expected: No errors

----
-
-### Task 5: Fix build-regular-hwe.yml Triggers
-
-**File:**
-- Modify: `.github/workflows/build-regular-hwe.yml`
-
-**Step 1: Apply same trigger and publish fixes**
-
-Remove `- lts` from `pull_request: branches:`
-Add `- lts` to `push: branches:`
-Remove `schedule:` section
-Update `publish:` condition (line 39) to:

-
-### Task 6: Fix build-dx-hwe.yml Triggers
-
-**File:**
-- Modify: `.github/workflows/build-dx-hwe.yml`
-
-**Step 1: Apply same trigger and publish fixes**
-
-Remove `- lts` from `pull_request: branches:`
-Add `- lts` to `push: branches:`
-Remove `schedule:` section
-Update `publish:` condition (line 39) to:
-```yaml

-git commit -m "fix(ci): update build-dx-hwe.yml triggers and publish condition
-
-Completes the fix across all 5 build workflows.
-
-All workflows now:
-- Trigger on PRs to main (validation)
-- Trigger on pushes to main (publish :lts-testing)
-- Trigger on pushes to lts (validation, no publish)
-- Trigger on workflow_dispatch (manual or from dispatcher)
-- Do NOT trigger on pull bot PRs to lts
-
-Assisted-by: Claude 3.5 Sonnet via GitHub Copilot"
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 7: Verify Publish Conditions (UPDATED in Tasks 2-6)
-
-**Note:** This task was previously a read-only check. The publish conditions are now UPDATED in Tasks 2-6.
-
-**Files modified:**
-- `.github/workflows/build-regular.yml:33`
-- `.github/workflows/build-dx.yml:34`
-- `.github/workflows/build-gdx.yml:35`
-- `.github/workflows/build-regular-hwe.yml:39`
-- `.github/workflows/build-dx-hwe.yml:39`
-
-**New publish condition (applied in all workflows):**
-```yaml
-publish: ${{ github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' || (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main') }}
-```
-
-**Why this is needed:**
-- Old condition: `publish: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' }}`
- - ❌ Would publish on push to lts (pull bot merges)
-- New condition: Only publish on:
- - ✅ `workflow_dispatch` (cron dispatcher + manual)
- - ✅ `push` to `main` (testing tags)
- - ❌ NOT on `push` to `lts` (validation only)
-
-**Verification:**
-
-Run:
-```bash
-grep "publish:" .github/workflows/build-*.yml
-```
-
-Expected: All show the new condition with `workflow_dispatch` and `main` checks
-
-```bash
-echo "✅ Publish conditions updated in Tasks 2-6"
-echo "Tag naming logic unchanged in reusable-build-image.yml"
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 8: Update Branch Protection for lts
-
-**Location:** GitHub repository settings (web UI)
-
-**Note:** Branch protection already exists but needs updating.
-
-**Step 1: Navigate to branch protection settings**
-
-1. Go to: `https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin-lts/settings/branches`
-2. Click "Edit" on existing `lts` protection rule
-3. Branch name pattern: `lts`
-
-**Step 2: Update required settings**
-
-**Current state verified:**
-- Required approvals: 2
-- Force pushes: ENABLED (needs to be DISABLED)
-- Enforce admins: DISABLED
-
-**Update to:**
-```
-☑ Require a pull request before merging
- ☑ Require approvals: 1 (change from 2)
- ☑ Dismiss stale pull request approvals when new commits are pushed
- ☐ Require review from Code Owners (not needed)
-
-☑ Require status checks to pass before merging
- ☐ Require branches to be up to date before merging (can cause issues with pull bot)
- Required checks: (leave empty - workflows don't run on lts PRs anymore)
-
-☑ Require conversation resolution before merging
-
-☐ Require signed commits (optional - up to team preference)
-
-☐ Require linear history (not recommended - pull bot uses hardreset)
-
-☑ Do not allow bypassing the above settings
- (Alternative: Allow only specific people - castrojo, tulilirockz, hanthor)
-
-☑ Restrict who can push to matching branches
- Allowed: pull[bot], castrojo, tulilirockz, hanthor
-
-☐ Allow force pushes (DISABLE - currently enabled, needs to be disabled)
-
-☐ Allow deletions (keep disabled)
-```
-
-**Step 3: Save and verify**
-
-Click "Save changes"
-
-Expected: Branch protection updated on `lts`
-
-**Step 4: Verify configuration**
-
-Run:
-```bash
-gh api repos/ublue-os/bluefin-lts/branches/lts/protection | jq '{approvals: .required_pull_request_reviews.required_approving_review_count, force_pushes: .allow_force_pushes.enabled, enforce_admins: .enforce_admins.enabled}'
-```
-
-Expected output:
-```json
-{
- "approvals": 1,
- "force_pushes": false,
- "enforce_admins": true
-}

-### Task 9: Update Documentation
-
-**File:**
-- Modify: `docs/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md` (add lts branch section)
-
-**Step 1: Add lts branch protection section**
-
-Add after line 241:
-
-```markdown
-
-## LTS Branch Protection (2026-03)
-
-**Settings applied to `lts` branch:**
-
-### Required Settings
-
-1. **Require pull request before merging**
- - Require approvals: 1
- - Dismiss stale approvals when new commits are pushed
-
-2. **Do not allow bypassing settings**
- - Enforce for administrators: Yes
-
-3. **Restrict who can push**
- - Allowed: pull[bot], castrojo, tulilirockz, hanthor
-
-4. **Block force pushes**
- - Force pushes: DISABLED
-
-**Purpose:**
-- Prevent accidental direct pushes to `lts`
-- Ensure pull bot PRs get reviewed before merge
-- Maintain production branch discipline
-- Prevent force push accidents
-
-**Workflow Integration:**
-- Pull bot creates PRs from `main` → `lts` (no CI triggers)
-- PRs must be approved before merging
-- Merging to `lts` does NOT publish images (workflows don't trigger)
-- Production publishes happen via:
- - Weekly cron dispatcher (Sunday 2 AM UTC)
- - Manual workflow_dispatch on `lts` branch
-
-**Emergency Access:**
-- Maintainers can run workflow_dispatch on `lts` for immediate releases
-- Maintainers can bypass branch protection if absolutely necessary (if enforce_admins is disabled)
-```
-
-**Step 2: Commit documentation update**
-
-```bash
-git add docs/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md
-git commit -m "docs: document lts branch protection configuration
-
-Added section explaining lts branch protection settings
-and how they integrate with the workflow changes."
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 10: Test Dispatcher (Manual)
-
-**Prerequisites:** All previous tasks completed and merged to `main`
-
-**Step 1: Manually trigger dispatcher**
-
-```bash
-gh workflow run scheduled-lts-release.yml --ref main
-```
-
-**Step 2: Verify dispatcher runs**
-
-```bash
-# Check dispatcher run
-gh run list --workflow=scheduled-lts-release.yml --limit 1
-
-# Wait ~30 seconds for workflows to be dispatched
-
-# Check if builds triggered on lts
-gh run list --branch=lts --limit 10
-```
-
-**Expected:**
-- Dispatcher completes successfully
-- 5 build workflows triggered on `lts` branch
-- All show event: `workflow_dispatch`
-- All show branch: `lts`
-
-**Step 3: Monitor build progress**
-
-```bash
-# Watch build progress
-gh run watch
-
-# Or view all runs
-gh run list --branch=lts --limit 10 --json event,conclusion,headBranch,workflowName
-```
-
-**Expected (after ~30-60 minutes):**
-- All 5 builds complete successfully
-- Production tags published: `:lts`, `:lts.20260302`, etc.
-- SBOM artifacts generated
-- No `:lts-testing` tags published
-
-**Step 4: Verify tags in registry**
-
-```bash
-# Check published tags (requires skopeo)
-skopeo list-tags docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin | grep -E "^lts" | tail -10
-```
-
-**Expected:**
-- `:lts` tag updated with new digest
-- `:lts.YYYYMMDD` tag created (today's date)
-- `:lts-testing` unchanged (not from this run)
-
-**Step 5: Document test results**
-
-```bash
-# No commit - just verification
-echo "✅ Manual dispatcher test completed successfully"
-echo "Production tags published: lts, lts.YYYYMMDD"
-echo "Ready for weekly cron schedule"
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 11: Test Pull Bot PR Flow
-
-**Prerequisites:** All changes merged to `main` and synced to `lts`
-
-**Step 1: Wait for pull bot PR or create test PR**
-
-Wait for pull bot to create a new PR from `main` → `lts`, or manually create one for testing:
-
-```bash
-# Option A: Wait for pull bot (preferred)
-# Check for existing PR
-gh pr list --base lts
-
-# Option B: Create test PR (if needed for immediate testing)
-git checkout lts
-git pull upstream lts
-git checkout -b test-lts-pr-flow
-git merge upstream/main --no-edit
-git push origin test-lts-pr-flow
-
-gh pr create --base lts --head test-lts-pr-flow \
- --title "[TEST] Verify lts PR doesn't trigger workflows" \
- --body "Testing that PRs to lts no longer trigger build workflows"
-```
-
-**Step 2: Verify NO workflows triggered**
-
-```bash
-# Check recent runs
-gh run list --limit 20 --json event,headBranch,displayTitle,conclusion,createdAt
-
-# Should NOT see any runs for the test PR
-```
-
-**Expected:**
-- ❌ No "Build Bluefin LTS" runs triggered
-- ❌ No "Build Bluefin LTS DX" runs triggered
-- ❌ No runs for any build workflows
-
-**Step 3: Close test PR (if created manually)**
-
-```bash
-gh pr close --delete-branch
-```
-
-**Step 4: Document test results**
-
-```bash
-# No commit - just verification
-echo "✅ Pull bot PR test completed successfully"
-echo "PRs to lts do NOT trigger workflows (as intended)"
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 12: Test Main Branch Publishing
-
-**Prerequisites:** All changes merged and active
-
-**Step 1: Create small test PR to main**
-
-```bash
-git checkout main
-git pull upstream main
-git checkout -b test-main-publish
-echo "# Test $(date)" >> .test-publish-marker.txt
-git add .test-publish-marker.txt
-git commit -m "test: verify main branch publishes lts-testing tags"
-git push origin test-main-publish
-
-gh pr create --base main --head test-main-publish \
- --title "[TEST] Verify main publishes :lts-testing tags" \
- --body "Testing that merges to main still publish testing tags"
-```
-
-**Step 2: Wait for PR checks and merge**
-
-```bash
-# Wait for CI
-gh pr checks --watch
-
-# Merge when green
-gh pr merge --merge
-```
-
-**Step 3: Verify testing tags published**
-
-```bash
-# Check runs after merge
-gh run list --branch=main --event=push --limit 5
-
-# Wait for builds to complete (~30-60 minutes)
-# Monitor one of the runs
-gh run watch
-
-# Verify testing tags published
-skopeo list-tags docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin | grep testing | tail -10
-```
-
-**Expected:**
-- ✅ All 5 build workflows triggered on push to main
-- ✅ Builds publish `:lts-testing`, `:lts-testing.YYYYMMDD` tags
-- ❌ No `:lts` production tags published
-
-**Step 4: Clean up test file**
-
-```bash
-git checkout main
-git pull upstream main
-git rm .test-publish-marker.txt
-git commit -m "chore: remove test marker file"
-git push upstream main
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 13: Final Validation Checklist
-
-**Step 1: Run validation checks**
-
-```bash
-# Syntax validation
-just check
-
-# Lint validation
-just lint
-
-# Verify all workflows exist
-ls -1 .github/workflows/*.yml | wc -l
-# Expected: 6 workflows (5 builds + 1 dispatcher)
-
-# Verify no lts in pull_request triggers
-grep -n "pull_request:" .github/workflows/build-*.yml -A 3 | grep "lts"
-# Expected: No output (no matches)
-
-# Verify no schedule in build workflows
-grep -n "schedule:" .github/workflows/build-*.yml
-# Expected: No output (no matches)
-
-# Verify dispatcher exists
-test -f .github/workflows/scheduled-lts-release.yml && echo "✅ Dispatcher exists" || echo "❌ Missing"
-
-# Verify branch protection configured
-gh api repos/ublue-os/bluefin-lts/branches/lts/protection --silent && echo "✅ Branch protection active" || echo "⚠️ Not configured yet"
-```
-
-**Step 2: Review workflow behavior matrix**
-
-| Event | Branch | Triggers? | Publishes? | Tags |
-|-------|--------|-----------|------------|------|
-| PR to main | `main` | ✅ | ❌ | none |
-| Merge to main | `main` | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts-testing` |
-| PR to lts | `lts` | ❌ | ❌ | none |
-| Merge to lts | `lts` | ✅ | ❌ | none (validation build) |
-| Cron Sun 2am | `main` | ✅ | ❌ | none (dispatcher) |
-| Dispatcher | `lts` | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts` (production) |
-| Manual dispatch | `lts` | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts` |
-| Manual dispatch | `main` | ✅ | ✅ | `:lts-testing` |
-
-**Step 3: Document completion**
-
-All items should be verified:
-
-```bash
-echo "Validation Checklist:"
-echo "- [x] Dispatcher workflow created"
-echo "- [x] All 5 build workflows updated (triggers + publish conditions)"
-echo "- [x] lts added to push triggers (validation builds)"
-echo "- [x] lts removed from pull_request triggers (no PR builds)"
-echo "- [x] Publish conditions updated (workflow_dispatch or main push only)"
-echo "- [x] Branch protection configured for lts"
-echo "- [x] Documentation updated"
-echo "- [x] Manual dispatcher test passed"
-echo "- [x] Pull bot PR test passed (no triggers)"
-echo "- [x] Pull bot merge test passed (builds but no publish)"
-echo "- [x] Main branch publish test passed (testing tags)"
-echo "- [x] Syntax validation passed"
-echo "- [x] No accidental production tag publishes"
-```
-
----
-
-## Rollback Plan
-
-If issues occur after implementation:
-
-### Quick Rollback (Emergency)
-
-```bash
-# Manually trigger production release
-gh workflow run build-regular.yml --ref lts
-gh workflow run build-dx.yml --ref lts
-gh workflow run build-gdx.yml --ref lts
-gh workflow run build-regular-hwe.yml --ref lts
-gh workflow run build-dx-hwe.yml --ref lts
-```
-
-### Full Revert
-
-```bash
-# Revert all workflow changes
-git revert
-git push upstream main
-
-# Re-enable lts in pull_request triggers temporarily
-# (Manual edit or revert to previous commit)
-```
-
-### Partial Rollback
-
-If only dispatcher is problematic:
-
-```bash
-# Keep workflow trigger fixes
-# Remove/disable dispatcher
-git rm .github/workflows/scheduled-lts-release.yml
-git commit -m "revert: remove dispatcher (issues found)"
-
-# Use manual workflow_dispatch only for releases
-```
-
----
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
-### Potential Improvements (YAGNI for now)
-
-1. **Slack/Discord notifications** when dispatcher runs
-2. **GitHub issue creation** when dispatcher fails
-3. **Automatic changelog generation** trigger from dispatcher
-4. **Parallel dispatcher** (trigger all 5 workflows in parallel, not sequential)
-5. **Dispatcher retry logic** if workflow trigger fails
-6. **Branch protection audit workflow** to verify settings
-7. **Automated testing** of publish behavior (complicated)
-
----
-

-
-## Verification Results (2026-03-02)
-
-**Plan verified against current codebase:**
-
-✅ File paths and line numbers accurate
-✅ Current state matches plan assumptions
-✅ All 5 workflows have `lts` in `pull_request: branches:` (line 12)
-✅ All 5 workflows have `schedule:` cron (lines 16-17)
-✅ Dispatcher doesn't exist yet (needs creation)
-✅ Branch protection exists but needs updating (2 approvals → 1, force push enabled → disabled)
-✅ Tag naming logic verified in `reusable-build-image.yml:161-164`
-✅ PRODUCTION_BRANCH constant set to `lts` in `reusable-build-image.yml:76`
-✅ Publish conditions don't need changes
-
-**Plan Status:** ✅ Verified and ready for implementation
-
----
-
-**Estimated Time:**
-- Implementation: 1-2 hours (workflow file edits + branch protection config)
-- Testing: 1-2 hours (wait for builds, verify behavior)
-- Total: 2-4 hours
-
-**Risk Level:** Low
-- Changes are isolated to workflow triggers
-- Rollback is straightforward
-- Testing can be done incrementally
-- No changes to build logic itself

Subject: [PATCH 19/19] fix(ci): fix LTS promotion workflow failures (#1157)
## Summary
- **Fix tag pollution from main branch merges**: The manifest step had
complex conditional logic that omitted pushes to `main`, causing `:lts`
production tags to be overwritten by testing builds. Aligns manifest
step with build step logic.
- **Fix `Push Manifest` and `sign` failing on lts push events**: Both
steps used `github.event_name != 'pull_request'` which fired even when
`publish=false`, causing `image not known` errors. Now gated on
`inputs.publish`.
- **Remove duplicate `schedule:` from all 5 build workflows**: The
dispatcher (`scheduled-lts-release.yml`) owns the weekly cron. The stale
entries were triggering 10 extra no-op builds on `main` every Sunday on
top of the 5 dispatcher runs on `lts`.
- **Simplify `promote-to-lts.yml`**: Replace the
checkout+merge+intermediate-branch approach (which reintroduced merge
commit pollution) with a single `gh pr create --base lts --head main`
call. Drops `contents: write` permission.

+## GitHub Actions CI/CD Architecture
-### CI Build Process
-- **Timeout**: 60 minutes configured in reusable-build-image.yml
-- **Platforms**: amd64, arm64
-- **Validation**: Runs `just check` before building
-- **Build Command**: `sudo just build [IMAGE] [TAG] [DX] [GDX] [HWE]`
+This section is the authoritative reference for all CI/CD behavior. Read it completely before touching any workflow file. Agents repeatedly break the CI system by making changes based on assumptions rather than this documented architecture.
+
+### Workflow Files and Their Roles
+
+| File | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `build-regular.yml` | Caller — builds `bluefin` image |
+| `build-dx.yml` | Caller — builds `bluefin-dx` image (developer variant) |
+| `build-gdx.yml` | Caller — builds `bluefin-gdx` image (GPU/AI variant) |
+| `build-regular-hwe.yml` | Caller — builds `bluefin` with HWE kernel |
+| `build-dx-hwe.yml` | Caller — builds `bluefin-dx` with HWE kernel |
+| `reusable-build-image.yml` | Reusable workflow — all 5 callers invoke this |
+| `scheduled-lts-release.yml` | Dispatcher — owns the weekly Sunday production release |
+| `promote-to-lts.yml` | Creates a PR to merge `main` → `lts` (see below) |
+| `generate-release.yml` | Creates a GitHub Release when `build-gdx.yml` completes on `lts` |
+
+### Two Branches, Two Tag Namespaces
+
+| Branch | Tags produced | When published |
+|---|---|---|
+| `main` | `lts-testing`, `lts-hwe-testing`, `lts-testing-YYYYMMDD`, `stream10-testing`, `10-testing`, etc. | Every push/merge to `main` |
+| `lts` | `lts`, `lts-hwe`, `lts-YYYYMMDD`, `stream10`, `10`, etc. | Weekly via `scheduled-lts-release.yml` or manual `workflow_dispatch` on `lts` |
+
+**All tags containing `testing` must be published on every push to `main`.** Production tags must only be published from the `lts` branch.
+
+### The `main` → `lts` Promotion Flow
+
+Promotion and production release are **intentionally decoupled**. There are two separate phases:
+
+**Phase 1 — Promotion (manual, no publishing):**
+1. A maintainer triggers `promote-to-lts.yml` via `workflow_dispatch`
+2. The workflow opens a PR from `main` targeting `lts` directly (no intermediate branch)
+3. A maintainer reviews and merges the PR
+4. The merge triggers a `push` event on `lts` — all 5 build workflows run as **validation builds** (`publish=false`). No images are published. This is intentional: it confirms that the merged code builds cleanly on `lts` before the next production release.
+
+**Phase 2 — Production release (automated or manual publishing):**
+1. `scheduled-lts-release.yml` fires at `0 2 * * 0` (Sunday 2am UTC), OR a maintainer manually triggers it
+2. It dispatches all 5 build workflows via `gh workflow run --ref lts`
+3. Those are `workflow_dispatch` events on `lts` → `publish=true` → production tags pushed
+4. After `build-gdx.yml` completes on `lts`, `generate-release.yml` creates a GitHub Release
+
+**Why `promote-to-lts.yml` exists:** Automated tools (the old Pull app, AI agents) cannot distinguish merge direction — when they see `lts` is behind `main`, they attempt to "sync" and sometimes merge `lts` → `main`, polluting `main` with old production commits. The workflow enforces the correct direction by always targeting `lts` as the base.
+
+**NEVER merge `lts` into `main`.** The flow is always one-way: `main` → `lts`.
+
+### `publish` Input — How It Is Evaluated
+
+All 5 caller workflows pass the same `publish:` expression:
+
+```yaml
+publish: ${{
+ (github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' && (github.ref == 'refs/heads/lts' || github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'))
+ ||
+ (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main')
+}}
+```
+
+Full truth table:
+
+| Event | Branch | `publish` | Tags published | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `push` | `main` | **true** | `-testing` tags | Normal CI after merge |
+| `push` | `lts` | **false** | nothing | Intentional — validation only; production ships via dispatch |
+| `workflow_dispatch` | `lts` | **true** | production `:lts` tags | Triggered by `scheduled-lts-release.yml` or manually |
+| `workflow_dispatch` | `main` | **true** | `-testing` tags | Manual re-run on main |
+| `pull_request` | `main` | **false** | nothing | CI check only |
+| `merge_group` | `main` | **false** | nothing | CI check only |
+
+**Push to `lts` runs builds but does not publish — this is intentional.** It validates that promoted code compiles cleanly before the next scheduled release. Do not add publish logic to the `push lts` path.
+
+**`publish` defaults to `false`** in `reusable-build-image.yml`. Callers must explicitly opt in. A caller that omits `publish:` will build but not push anything.
+
+### Tag Suffix Logic in `reusable-build-image.yml`
+
+Tag suffixes are computed in two places:
+
+**`build_push` job** (build step):
+```bash
+if [ "${REF_NAME}" != "${PRODUCTION_BRANCH}" ]; then
+ export TAG_SUFFIX="testing"
+ export DEFAULT_TAG="${DEFAULT_TAG}-${TAG_SUFFIX}"
+fi
+echo "DEFAULT_TAG=${DEFAULT_TAG}" >> "${GITHUB_ENV}"
+```
+
+**`manifest` job** (`Add suffixes` step):
+```bash
+if [ "${REF_NAME}" != "${PRODUCTION_BRANCH}" ]; then
+ export TAG_SUFFIX="testing"
+ export DEFAULT_TAG="${DEFAULT_TAG}-${TAG_SUFFIX}"
+ export CENTOS_VERSION_SUFFIX="${CENTOS_VERSION_SUFFIX}-${TAG_SUFFIX}"
+fi
+echo "DEFAULT_TAG=${DEFAULT_TAG}" >> "${GITHUB_ENV}"
+echo "CENTOS_VERSION_SUFFIX=${CENTOS_VERSION_SUFFIX}" >> "${GITHUB_ENV}"
+```
+
+**IMPORTANT**: `TAG_SUFFIX` is set with `export` only — it is **never written to `GITHUB_ENV`**. The `Image Metadata` action uses `${{ env.TAG_SUFFIX }}` in its tags expressions, which will always expand to empty string. This is NOT a bug: `CENTOS_VERSION_SUFFIX` already contains the `-testing` suffix, so all tags are generated correctly. Do not "fix" this by adding `TAG_SUFFIX` to `GITHUB_ENV` — it would produce duplicate suffixes like `stream10-testing-testing`.
+
+### SBOM Attestation Rules
+
+SBOMs are generated and attested **only on the `lts` branch** and **only when publishing**. The attestation uses Sigstore/Rekor. Rekor is an external service that has experienced outages (confirmed 2026-02-24: `Post "https://rekor.sigstore.dev/api/v1/log/entries": giving up after 4 attempt(s)`).
+
+All three SBOM steps in `reusable-build-image.yml` must have **both**:
+1. `if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/lts' && inputs.publish }}`
+2. `continue-on-error: true`
+
+**A failed SBOM must never block image publishing.** We prefer published images without SBOMs over no images at all. Do not remove `continue-on-error: true` from any SBOM step.
+
+The `sbom:` input has been removed from `reusable-build-image.yml`. SBOM behavior is controlled entirely by the step conditions above — no external toggle is needed or supported.
+
+### CI Build Process Reference
+- **Timeout**: 60 minutes configured in `reusable-build-image.yml` (`build_push` job)
+- **Platforms**: amd64, arm64 (matrix-driven)
+- **Validation**: `just check` runs before every build
+- **Build Command**: `sudo just build [IMAGE] [TAG] [DX] [GDX] [HWE] [KERNEL_PIN]`
+- **Rechunk**: Runs on all non-PR builds when `publish=true`
+- **fail-fast**: false — both platforms attempt independently
+- **`publish` default**: `false` — callers must explicitly opt in
+
+### Workflow Condition Quick Reference
+
+When touching any condition in `reusable-build-image.yml`, use this reference:
+
+| Step / Job | Correct condition |
+|---|---|
+| SBOM steps (Setup Syft, Generate SBOM, Add SBOM Attestation) | `if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/lts' && inputs.publish }}` + `continue-on-error: true` |
+| Rechunk | `if: ${{ inputs.rechunk && inputs.publish }}` |
+| Load Image | `if: ${{ inputs.publish }}` |
+| Login to GHCR | `if: ${{ inputs.publish }}` |
+| Push to GHCR | `if: ${{ inputs.publish }}` |
+| Install Cosign | `if: ${{ inputs.publish }}` |
+| Sign Image (build_push job) | `if: ${{ inputs.publish }}` |
+| Create Job Outputs | `if: ${{ inputs.publish }}` |
+| Upload Output Artifacts | `if: ${{ inputs.publish }}` |
+| Push Manifest (manifest job) | `if: ${{ inputs.publish }}` |
+| sign job (top-level) | `if: ${{ inputs.publish }}` |
+| Sign Manifest (inside sign job) | `if: ${{ inputs.publish }}` |
+
+**Signing must only happen when an image is actually published to the registry.** Any condition other than `inputs.publish` on signing or manifest push steps is wrong.
+
+### `schedule:` Triggers — Ownership Rule
+
+**`scheduled-lts-release.yml` is the sole owner of Sunday 2am UTC production builds.**
+
+The 5 build caller workflows (`build-regular.yml`, `build-dx.yml`, `build-gdx.yml`, `build-regular-hwe.yml`, `build-dx-hwe.yml`) must NOT have `schedule:` triggers. Any `schedule:` event on those workflows fires on `main` (the default branch), evaluates `publish=false`, publishes nothing, and wastes runner time.
+
+If you see `schedule:` in any of the 5 build callers, remove it entirely. Do not move or adjust the cron expression — remove it.
