v1.8.14's first attempt spent ~46 minutes building a base image for a tree whose own lint had been failing for 24 hours. shellcheck had already flagged the defect (SC2289, severity error) on the push that introduced it; the lint workflow went red at run 186 and nobody read it. lint.yml deliberately skips tag pushes and its reasoning is sound -- the tagged tree was already linted on main, and a tag-ref lint run sorts above the publish run, making a release look finished before anything ships. The missing invariant was never "lint the tag". It was "do not RELEASE a tree whose lint failed", and only a job inside the publish workflow can enforce that. So: extract the shell-lint logic from lint.yml into scripts/lint-shell.sh and call it from both places, then add a lint-gate job that resolve-versions depends on. resolve-versions is the graph root, so gating it gates everything. Cost is ~40 s at the front of a release; the alternative already cost fifty minutes. Extracted rather than copied on purpose. A second copy of a check is the drift this repo keeps paying for -- the same evening produced a skillset mirror that had sat 9579 B behind its upstream through two consecutive edits. The script adds one behaviour the inline version lacked: if shellcheck is not installed it exits 2 rather than silently finding nothing, inheriting the existing "a gate that cannot run must not pass" rule from hooks/pre-commit in the skillset repo. Without that, reordering the install step away would turn the gate into a green tick over zero checks. Verified locally with a stubbed shellcheck (the real binary is not in the devbox), five cases, each with its expectation stated first: absent shellcheck -> rc=2; stub pass -> rc=0 and a non-zero file count; stub fail -> rc=1; a deliberately unterminated `if` planted in scripts/ -> rc=1 via the bash -n half, naming the file; removal -> rc=0 again. Discovery cross-checks against CI's own number: the inline version reported 12 files, the extracted one reports 13, the difference being lint-shell.sh itself. YAML re-parsed (10 jobs, was 9) with an assertion that resolve-versions needs lint-gate, and the repo's check-workflow-shell.sh guard still passes.
