Summary

• generate release archives with the GitHub-stable dot filename before upload
• keep the checksum sidecar and SPDX packageFileName aligned with the downloaded asset
• add a regression contract for the normalized release filename

Root cause and verification

GitHub normalized agent-collab v3.1.0.plugin to agent-collab.v3.1.0.plugin during upload, while the generated checksum and SPDX retained the pre-upload space name. A fresh download therefore failed shasum -c.

TDD evidence:

• the new regression test failed against the old workflow
• the same test passes after the one-line workflow fix
• a local dot-named archive/evidence rehearsal passes shasum -c and records the dot name in SPDX
• the already-published v3.1.0 checksum and SPDX assets were repaired and independently re-downloaded/verified; the archive and signed tag were not changed

Validation

• python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -t . -q (223 tests)
• python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts -p 'test_*.py' -q (255 tests)
• python3 scripts/build_skills.py --check
• python3 scripts/build_marketplace.py --check
• python3 scripts/build-changelog.py --check
• python3 scripts/check_release_consistency.py --against-ref origin/main
• python3 scripts/check-public-export-safety.py --active-tree --history
• python3 scripts/secret_scan.py
• git diff --check
• local standalone actionlint unavailable because neither the binary nor Go is installed; required CI remains authoritative

No changelog fragment: this is an internal release-workflow correction and the affected v3.1.0 public evidence assets were repaired in place.

Operator override

On 2026-07-12, John Osumi explicitly directed: “Merge PR #5 without cross-family review.” This authorizes the operator-reserved merge despite the unavailable independent-review routes; the review blockers remain recorded rather than being relabeled as a review verdict.

author: Codex under John Osumi operator direction
standing_directives: Read and followed AGENTS.md, docs/public-governance.md, the v3.1.0 release plan, and the repository debugging and TDD workflow
tier: 3
cross_check: BLOCKED — quota: GitHub Gemini Code Assist exhausted its daily review quota; unified managed review is duplicate_blocked, and browser review is prohibited by user policy; explicit operator override to merge without cross-family review recorded above
post_condition: After the explicitly operator-directed merge, future releases generate checksum and SPDX evidence against the exact public asset filename
