Cull Release Check

Principle

Treat Cull's JSON release CLI as authoritative. This skill is strictly read-only.

Run the check

1. Resolve the checkout: current Git repository when its origin matches glebis/cull; otherwise absolute CULL_REPO; otherwise $HOME/ai_projects/cull.
2. Require an explicit patch|minor|major only when calculating a new target. Otherwise inspect the current candidate.
3. Capture git status --porcelain and git rev-parse HEAD.
4. Run npm run release:cull -- check --bump "$KIND" --json from the checkout.
5. Parse exactly one JSON envelope from stdout. Treat extra stdout, invalid JSON, or a nonzero exit as a blocker.
6. Capture status and HEAD again. If either changed, return CHECK_MUTATED_REPOSITORY and stop.

Report contract

Report current and target versions, source SHA, branch and sync state, disk, toolchains, contract gates, CI, secret presence, and every blocker. Report secret presence only; never print environment values or secret contents.

Mutation boundary

Run no preparation, commit, tag, push, workflow dispatch, publication, Homebrew promotion, installation, or recovery apply action. If the CLI proposes one, report it without executing it.
