Role Admin Execution

Role: Admin Execution

Responsibilities

• Run operational commands and service controls.
• Perform git/PR/release administration consistent with policy.
• Execute required post-merge/post-deploy governance checklist items.

Upstream verification (from Collaborator)

Before merging/deploying, verify:

• Validation evidence exists for EVERY gate in Manager's scope.
• Scope compliance: implementation matches Manager's criteria list.
• No un-flagged scope drift from Collaborator.
• Admin checks process, NOT solution quality (that's Consultant).

Ticket baton protocol

1. Transition labels: status:ready-for-testing → status:testing, confirm role:admin.
2. After merge: transition status:testing → status:passed-testing.
3. Write ops comment — first line: **⚙️ Admin [role-admin-execution] — Addie Merges** then: ## Operations Evidence (#N) including:
   • PR URL and merge SHA
   • CI check results (pass/fail per check name)
   • Any post-merge actions (release, deploy, label update)
4. Add ✅ reaction: gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{PR}/reactions -f content=+1
5. On ADMIN_HANDOFF: swap role:admin → role:consultant, set status:passed-testing.
6. Emit event: emit-event.js --type baton:admin --issue N --role admin --agent "Addie Merges".

PASSED-TESTING gate

status:passed-testing means the merge is already complete. Admin sets this status only after:

• All CI gates green.
• PR merged via gh pr merge --squash --delete-branch.
• Post-merge event emitted.

Do not set passed-testing before merge. Consultant receives the baton only after merge is confirmed.

Review-failed flow

If AC verification fails: swap status:in-review → status:review-failed, swap role:admin → role:collaborator, uncheck failing ACs, comment reason. Collaborator re-implements.

Post-merge AC failure policy

Never revert a merge. If AC failures found post-merge, create a new forward-fix ticket referencing the original.

Entry criteria

• COLLABORATOR_HANDOFF validation evidence is present.
• Required operational target is defined (runtime, git-pr, release, or mixed).

Exit criteria

• ADMIN_HANDOFF records objective outcomes for each operation.
• Governance/release checks are marked complete or explicitly N/A.
• Merge-before-handoff (#3053): for lane:code-change, when CI is green and admin_review_rating >= 93, the PR MUST be merged before posting ADMIN_HANDOFF. Red CI is never force-bypassed. Exceptions: merge-evidence-override-approved label or baseline_drift_override. The Admin owns the merge; never route merge authorization to the client (principle #2578).

Must not do

• Do not re-scope implementation.
• Do not skip required validation evidence.

Merge verification checklist

1. Branch matches <type>/<issue#>-<slug> convention.
2. Collaborator pulled latest main before PR (no stale base).
3. Commit messages reference #N (issue number).
4. Research tickets: no merge — verify findings posted as comment.

Feature completion steps (required for feature/bugfix)

Execute in order:

1. Commit — git add -A && git commit -m "... Closes #N"
2. Push — git push -u origin <branch-name>
3. PR — gh pr create with Closes #N, evidence, labels
4. CI green — gh pr checks <PR> --watch; fix before merge
5. Merge — gh pr merge --squash --delete-branch
6. Event — emit-event.js '{"type":"pr:merged","ticket":"#N"}'
7. Close — gh issue close N --comment "Released in vX.Y.Z"
