# Task 01: Repair the Stable release merge
## Acceptance
- The regression contract fails before the workflow change and passes afterward.
- A normal Stable release uses the administrator token only to merge one exact pull-request head without CI or queue enrollment.
- Tag signing selects the merge commit reported by GitHub only after that commit appears on `origin/main`.
## Verification
- `python3 .github/scripts/release-workflow-contract_test.py`
- `python3 .github/scripts/lint-action-pinning_test.py`
- `git diff --check -- .github/workflows/release.yml .github/scripts/release-workflow-contract_test.py`
## Files likely touched
- `.github/workflows/release.yml`
- `.github/scripts/release-workflow-contract_test.py`
## Dependencies
None.
## Parallelism
Sequential. The workflow and its contract test form one TDD unit.
## Inputs
- `docs/specs/release/requirements/release-pr-queue-bypass.md`
- `docs/decisions/2026-08-17-release-pr-ruleset-bypass.md`
- The `Create release PR + squash-merge` step in `.github/workflows/release.yml`.
- The protected `release` environment on the `prepare` job.
## Output contract
Report the Red and Green results, changed files, token boundary, and merge-commit guard. Update this task and `plan.md` in the same conversation.
## Results
- Red: `python3 .github/scripts/release-workflow-contract_test.py ReleaseWorkflowContractTest.test_normal_release_uses_admin_token_only_for_exact_head_merge` failed because the administrator-token merge step did not exist.
- Green: the same focused test passed after the workflow change.
- `python3 .github/scripts/release-workflow-contract_test.py` passed 30 tests.
- `python3 .github/scripts/lint-action-pinning_test.py` passed 9 tests.
- `git diff --check -- .github/workflows/release.yml .github/scripts/release-workflow-contract_test.py` passed.
- `RELEASE_PR_BYPASS_TOKEN` is available only to the privileged merge step. `GITHUB_TOKEN` creates the pull request and inspects its merged state.
- The workflow validates the exact pull-request head and checks out GitHub's reported merge commit before tag signing.
