ci: gate ForgeBox publish to main; restore box.json for stable artifacts#2546
Conversation
The first develop snapshot run after PR #2545 failed at the "Publish All Packages to ForgeBox" step, which cascaded to skip every downstream step including the new "Create Snapshot Pre-Release" that publishes to wheels-dev/wheels-snapshots. Two issues: 1. publish-to-forgebox.sh reads box.json directly (CommandBox's `forgebox publish` reads slug/version/type natively — we can't make it polyglot without forking CommandBox itself). After PR #2545 dropped box.json from tools/build/core/, the wheels-core artifact only carried wheels.json, and ForgeBox publish hit "ERROR: box.json not found". 2. Develop snapshots have no business going to ForgeBox anymore — that's what wheels-dev/wheels-snapshots is for. The snapshot pipeline shouldn't even attempt the ForgeBox path. Two complementary fixes: - Restore tools/build/core/box.json (CommandBox-shaped template) and have prepare-core.sh emit BOTH wheels.json (new world) and box.json (legacy ForgeBox compat). Once ForgeBox publishing is fully retired post-4.0, the box.json template can be deleted alongside publish-to-forgebox.sh. - Gate "Install CommandBox" + "Publish All Packages to ForgeBox" steps to `if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'` so develop snapshots skip them cleanly. The downstream Build / Upload / Create Snapshot Pre-Release steps then run normally and publish artifacts to wheels-dev/wheels-snapshots. Tuesday's v4.0.0 GA tag on main is unaffected — all the gated steps run on main as before, with the restored box.json template providing the manifest ForgeBox publish needs.

Wheels Bot — Reviewer A
TL;DR: Hotfix targeting two root causes of the snapshot pipeline failure after #2545: gating ForgeBox publish steps to main only, and restoring the box.json template that CommandBox requires. The approach is correct and well-reasoned; the workflow logic is sound. Two issues block clean merge: stale master branch references in the newly-added box.json template (dead links on the ForgeBox package page at GA), and a stale inline comment in release.yml that now contradicts what the code does. Requesting changes.
Correctness
tools/build/core/box.json lines 13 and 35 -- stale master branch URLs
Line 13:
"changelog":"https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md",Line 35:
"URL":"https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/blob/master/LICENSE"The repo's default branch is main (Wheels rebrand at v3.0, see CLAUDE.md). Both URLs should reference main, not master. GitHub redirects renamed-branch URLs in some contexts, but ForgeBox renders these as bare anchor links and redirect behavior is not guaranteed from all ForgeBox link-rendering paths.
This file was deleted in #2545 and is restored here, so the stale URLs are in scope. tools/build/base/box.json has the same pre-existing issue at line 47; that warrants a separate follow-up.

The Validate Package Structure and Versions step still says:
# wheels-core now uses wheels.json. This validator handles both.After this PR, wheels-core ships both wheels.json and box.json. The claim that "wheels-core now uses wheels.json" is now inaccurate and may mislead a maintainer doing the ForgeBox retirement cleanup post-4.0. Suggest: "wheels-core ships both manifests; this validator prefers wheels.json when found."
Commits
Single commit ci: gate ForgeBox publish to main; restore box.json for stable artifacts is valid per commitlint.config.js: type ci, no scope (correct -- spans workflow + build scripts, no single scope fits cleanly), subject under 100 chars, not ALL-CAPS. Commit body explains causality well: two numbered root causes, two numbered fixes, Tuesday GA impact statement. No issues.
Security
No secrets introduced. FORGEBOX_PASS is already in repo secrets and consumed only on main. No new attack surface.

Two issues called out: - tools/build/core/box.json lines 13 and 35: stale `blob/master/` URLs in the changelog + LICENSE references. The repo's default branch is `main` since the v3.0 rebrand. When restoring this file from git history in the initial commit on this branch, I pulled back the old URLs verbatim. ForgeBox renders these as bare anchor links and redirect-from-renamed- branch is not guaranteed across all rendering paths. - .github/workflows/release.yml line 169: validator comment claimed "wheels-core now uses wheels.json" — but after this PR the wheels-core artifact ships BOTH manifests. Updated the comment to match what the code does, so a future maintainer doing the ForgeBox retirement cleanup isn't misled. tools/build/base/box.json line 47 has the same `blob/master/` issue but predates this PR; flagging as a separate follow-up rather than expanding scope here.

Wheels Bot -- Reviewer A
TL;DR: Follow-up commit 91e6d93 correctly addresses both blocking findings from the previous Reviewer A pass. The stale blob/master/ URLs in tools/build/core/box.json are now blob/main/, and the inaccurate validator comment in release.yml accurately reflects that wheels-core ships both manifests during the transition window. No new issues introduced. Approving.
Correctness — Previous findings resolved.
tools/build/core/box.json lines 13 and 35: both changelog and LICENSE URLs now point to blob/main/ as required. Confirmed directly from git show 91e6d93.
release.yml validator comment (around line 169): updated from the misleading 'wheels-core now uses wheels.json' to 'wheels-core ships both manifests during the transition window. This validator prefers wheels.json when present.' Accurate and actionable for the ForgeBox retirement cleanup.
No new correctness issues found in the follow-up commit.
Commits
Both commits are valid per commitlint.config.js:
- ci: gate ForgeBox publish to main; restore box.json for stable artifacts -- type ci, no scope (appropriate: spans workflow + build scripts), subject 69 chars, not ALL-CAPS. Commit body explains two numbered root causes and two numbered fixes.
- fix: address Reviewer A feedback on PR 2546 -- type fix, no scope, subject 45 chars, not ALL-CAPS. Body cites the exact lines changed and explains the pre-4.0 follow-up scope decision for tools/build/base/box.json.
Nit (non-blocking)
tools/build/core/box.json lines 15-17 (contributors block) use hard-tab indentation while the rest of the file uses 4-space indentation. This is a pre-existing issue from the file's original git history and not introduced by the current commits. Flagging for the ForgeBox retirement cleanup pass, not as a merge blocker.
Wheels Bot — Reviewer B (round 1)Review 4259746600 is a placeholder submission — its body is the literal string "test body" with an APPROVED verdict and no analysis. This is textbook sycophancy: a rubber-stamp with zero evidence. However, a companion review (4259747209) was submitted by the same bot 38 seconds later with full substantive content. I treated 4259747209 as the actual round-2 Reviewer A output and assessed the diff independently to decide whether alignment holds. Sycophancy

The wheels-base-template package's license URL on ForgeBox pointed at the obsolete master branch, producing a soft 404. The default branch has been main since the v3.0 rebrand. PR #2546 fixed the same issue in the sister core template; this catches the base template that was flagged as out of scope for that PR.
* ci: harden wheels-bot Reviewer A against placeholder submissions Closes #2558. PR #2546's Reviewer A submitted a review with body "test body" (state=APPROVED, no marker) before issuing the substantive review on the same SHA 38 seconds later. Root-cause hypothesis: Sonnet probed `gh pr review` with a placeholder before the real call. Three changes harden the pipeline: - bot-review-a.yml: new "Validate Reviewer A output" step. Scans all active wheels-bot reviews on the head SHA after the Claude action exits and auto-dismisses any whose body is under 200 chars or missing the canonical `wheels-bot:review-a` marker. Runs on `always()` so it fires even when the Claude step failed mid-session. This is the load-bearing fix — prompt instructions cannot prevent the failure mode on their own. - bot-review-a.yml: remove trailing colon from the idempotency marker-pattern. The initial review marker is `<!-- wheels-bot:review-a:<pr>:<sha> -->` with no suffix; the trailing `:` made the skip check a no-op. Response markers use the distinct `wheels-bot:review-a-response:` prefix and won't false-match. - review-pr.md and respond-to-critique.md: explicit instruction to issue exactly one `gh pr review` per session and never probe the command with a placeholder body. Belt-and-suspenders on top of the guard. * ci: address Reviewer A feedback on guard logic Two follow-ups from PR #2561 review: - Document the dismissal criteria's intent inline. The OR condition (`body_len < 200 || missing marker`) deliberately dismisses long reviews that lack the marker, because marker-less reviews break the downstream idempotency gate. Code comment explains this so future maintainers don't relax it. - Idempotency-check the guard comment before posting. A manual workflow re-trigger combined with new bogus reviews on the same SHA could otherwise produce duplicate guard comments. The check greps PR comments for the existing `wheels-bot:review-a-guard:<pr>:<sha>` marker and skips re-posting when found.
