The manifest gets the npm-valid three-part form, except when the policy lists it in `stamp_paths` or `stamp_files` and its copy at the base holds four parts (gbrain's convention): then it keeps the full version (`--manifest-form full`) and the stage detail says so. 2. **release_tool**: the policy command, under the contract below. 3. **changelog**: the PR's `[Unreleased]` or old-version section moves to the top under ``, above its predecessor's entry. A duplicate heading the PR introduces (`CHANGELOG_DUPLICATE_HEADING`: the headings are counted against the base's CHANGELOG at `origin/` and at the fork point, so a version the base already heads twice passes as long as the PR adds no further copy) and a top entry that is not `` (`CHANGELOG_TOP_MISMATCH`) are errors; the section being re-headed itself may exist only once. -4. **stamp_paths**: exact `(was X)`, `since: X` and `vX` rewrites, plus every `stamp_patterns` template, within `stamp_paths` and `stamp_files`. A quote around X in the first two forms is part of the form and is kept as written: `since: 'X'`, `since: "X"`, `(was 'X')` and `(was "X")` move like the bare ones (the shape of a quoted source row such as gbrain's `{ since: '0.60.468.0', … }`), an opened quote must close right after X (`since: '1.2.3-beta'` and `since: '1.2.3"` are not the form, in the writer and in the tree receipt alike), and `vX` already accepts a quote before the `v`. Which X moves is decided by provenance. The branch's own tentative stamp (its VERSION when it moved past base) and `--was `, when given, are each rewritten on every line of every stamp file. Beyond that, only lines the branch itself added are read, by their position in the file (`git diff --unified=0` from the fork point), so a base line with the same text, or a CRLF checkout whose diff is LF-normalized, is told apart: a stamp-form mention there of a version newer than the version at the branch's fork point is a tentative stamp and moves (this is what finds a quoted row after a lost slot and a merge of the base, since the base's release is newer than the fork point), and so does one of the fork-point version itself (a row the branch wrote at the version it forked from instead of a next version is its own stale stamp; a branch-added mention older than the fork point stays), and when the branch has no stamp of its own because its VERSION equals the base's and its fork point is the base itself (a branch rebased onto the base after it reached X, or one never stamped) a mention of the base version on a line it added is its stale stamp and moves too, while the same version on a line the base already carries is the base's release and stays. The stage detail names both counts per file (`VERSION equals base X, so X moved only on lines this branch added and stayed on the base's own lines (: N moved, M kept)`), so the stamp commit shows which lines moved and why. A line the base added since the fork point is the base's even when that diff shows it (a merge of the base on the branch, committed or still staged, brings every line the base added since the fork into the diff from the fork point, main's own release keys included): it is left out, the detail says `N line(s) the base added since the fork point are the base's, not this branch's, and stay (: N)`, and a base diff git cannot run refuses the stage (`POLICY_SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE`, `cannot diff .. for the stamp_paths stage`) rather than reading as an empty set that would move the base's lines again. The rule reads line ownership, not meaning: a branch-added line inside `stamp_paths` that means the base's own release in a stamp form (`Requires vX or later` written on a branch forked at X) moves with it, which the `--dry-run` diff and the per-file counts show before anything is written; write such a reference outside a stamp form, or keep that file out of `stamp_paths`. `--was X` is the opposite tool: it rewrites X everywhere, the base's own lines included, and re-heads the CHANGELOG section `## [X]`. Only the repo's own version width counts, so a 3-digit dependency pin in a 4-digit repo is never a candidate. The checks that accept a stamp commit read the same bound as the writer (`stampOnlyLine` with the branch's side in `lib/stamp-only.ts`): the tree receipt behind `stamp`, `verify` and the gate-ahead replay, the merge train's stamp and verify checks (each reading the slot's predecessor, the gated commit's first parent, as the base), the /ship receipt carry, and finish's route each take a moved version on a line the branch added at or above the fork-point version, and on any other line at or above the gated head's VERSION. +4. **stamp_paths**: exact `(was X)`, `since: X` and `vX` rewrites, plus every `stamp_patterns` template, within `stamp_paths` and `stamp_files`.

A base line whose text duplicates a line the branch added gets the branch's bound too, because the checks match branch lines by text, not position (GST-979). The /ship receipt carry can still refuse the move (`RECEIPT_CARRY_PRODUCT_CHANGED`), and when the branch keeps its VERSION claim, carry and finish still route the move as behavior (GST-980). 5. **mirror**: tier 2; declared and validated, reported as not run. 6. **apply**: every changed file is written to the branch only after all stages validated, each against the fingerprinted preimage; a file edited meanwhile is `RESTAMP_CONFLICT` and the applied writes roll back (rollback refuses to overwrite a file whose bytes differ from the recorded postimage).
