Found by sweeping the RETRACTED WORDS repo-wide rather than re-reading the file I had edited,
which is the `stale-comments-sweep-by-subject` lesson the previous round already charged me
with once.
`scripts/lib/review-verdict-vocabulary.sh` still said "A control-flow gate can be skipped by
an abort" seven lines under the paragraph retracting exactly that mechanism — the same
self-contradiction shape as the sentinel comment in the last round, in the file that round
corrected.
MEASURING IT PROPERLY CHANGED WHAT I CHECKED. The decision record justifies the concern by
noting the READ side deliberately runs without `set -e`, and both prior reviewers had measured
the claim only under `set -euo pipefail`. If the original reading held without `set -e`, the
correction shipped last round would itself have been wrong. Measured on bash 3.2.57 and 5.3.15
across all three modes:
[set -u] in f / DEFINITELY_UNSET: unbound variable / exit=127
[set -eu] in f / DEFINITELY_UNSET: unbound variable / exit=1
[set -euo pipefail] in f / DEFINITELY_UNSET: unbound variable / exit=1
No branch taken and nothing after the gate, in every mode — including the one the record
relies on. The correction stands. The old reading holds only inside a command substitution
(`v=$(f) || v=FALLBACK` continues, fallback taken), which is not the shape gating either file.
WHAT IS NOT IN QUESTION, stated because the retraction is easy to over-read: the fail-open
that record documents is REAL — with `.*` in the positive list and the negative list written as
a scalar, an explicit `BLOCKED @ <head>` classified `positive`, exit 0. Only the attributed
mechanism is wrong: `${#name[@]}` on a scalar yields 1 rather than erroring, so no abort
occurred in that scenario at all. The sentinel is still the right design, on the ground that
survives — the caller that never runs validation.
The same refuted mechanism remains in `release.verdict-vocabulary-shared` and in
`test_review_verdict_vocabulary.py`. Correcting a decision record is its own change with its
own review surface, so it is tracked as ersatztv#886 with the full measurement, and
cross-referenced from the corrected file rather than folded in here.
