Fixes four real findings CodeRabbit raised on PR #936's full promotion diff. - **merge-and-release's install preflight missed gitignored paths.** \`skills_install.py\` installs each skill directory with \`shutil.copytree()\` (line 152, no ignore filter), so a gitignored stray file rides into the install regardless. \`git status --porcelain\` alone is silent on ignored paths. Widened to \`--untracked-files=all --ignored\`. - **Cleanup fast-forwarded the base clone to \`develop\` before removing the promotion worktree.** Verified empirically: \`git checkout <branch>\` refuses when that branch is already checked out in another worktree. Reordered to remove first. - **\`git worktree remove\` appeared with no path argument.** Git requires one. Named it explicitly (\`git worktree remove "<worktree-path>"\`). - **Branch names were unquoted across six cleanup commands** in both \`drive-pr\` and \`merge-and-release\` (\`gh pr list --head\`, \`git ls-remote\`, \`git rev-parse\`, \`git branch -D\`, \`git push --delete\`). A valid git ref can start with \`-\` or carry a shell metacharacter. Quoted throughout, with \`--\` end-of-options where it helps. Declined two findings from the same review round, replied with evidence on PR #936 rather than silently acting or ignoring: - A "require confirmation for each destructive action" finding against \`drive-pr\`'s batched authorization model, that design choice is already stated and justified in the skill's own "What Invoking This Skill Authorizes" section. - A "compare-and-delete with \`--force-with-lease\`" finding, which would require carving a narrow exception into git-commit-conventions' blanket "never force push" rule. That's a maintainer policy call, not a mechanical fix, so it stays open for the maintainer rather than something an agent decides unilaterally. Edited both sources and regenerated all distributions with \`scripts/build_dist.py\`, verified with \`--check\` and \`scripts/tests/test_build_dist.py\`. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Updated pull request and release workflow guidance for safer branch and worktree cleanup. * Added validation for clean refreshes, checkout state, repositories, branches, and merge results. * Clarified remote branch verification and deletion procedures. * **Bug Fixes** * Improved handling of branch names containing special characters or beginning with hyphens. * Prevented removal of incorrect worktrees or branches. * Added safeguards for missing remote branches, query failures, and mismatched merge details. * Ensured cleanup proceeds only when repository, branch, and merge data are verified. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fixes the still-valid half of #939 (closed as superseded on its other half, checkout-safety, already fixed more thoroughly on develop via #937/#940). Step 6's run-watch bound was a literal `<seconds>` template placeholder, never a runnable command as written. Filled in `2700` (45 minutes), matching `scripts/pr_review.py`'s own default (verified: `ap.add_argument("--timeout", type=int, default=2700, ...)`). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Release monitoring now uses a finite 45-minute timeout by default. * Supports equivalent bounded waiting across different host environments. * Clearly distinguishes timed-out runs from completed results and generated versions. * Reports failed, timed-out, or unstarted runs without automatically retrying. * **Documentation** * Updated release monitoring guidance to reflect the new timeout and reporting behavior. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
This promotion updates the fleet “drive-pr” / “merge-and-release” Skill documentation (and its mirrored distributions) to tighten safety checks around release dispatch correlation, worktree/branch cleanup, and repository cleanliness preflights during a develop→main promotion.
Changes:
- Document a fixed default bounded wait (2700s) for
gh run watchwhen polling release runs. - Strengthen preflight and cleanup guidance (include ignored/untracked in
git statuschecks; reorder worktree removal to avoid checkout conflicts; tighten PR/branch identity verification). - Refresh the distributed Skill mirrors and update the
.claude-pluginsource digest.

.github/skills/merge-and-release/SKILL.md lines 171-199 to atomically delete the
local ref with git update-ref -d using the exact headRefOid, and delete the
remote ref with an explicit expected-value lease against headRefOid; permit this
narrowly for cleanup, while preserving worktree safety and verifying both origin
URLs resolve to the intended owner/repo. Apply the corresponding guidance
updates in .agents/skills/drive-pr/SKILL.md lines 70-86,
.claude-plugin/fleet-skills/skills/drive-pr/SKILL.md lines 70-86, and
.github/skills/drive-pr/SKILL.md lines 70-86 so all six copies use
compare-and-delete rather than separate verification and deletion, preventing
removal of a concurrently pushed or reused ref.
