Close admission and join session, prompt, MCP and shell owners before acknowledging supported shutdown. Retain actual child exit evidence and lifetime uncertainty across initialization, respawn, cancellation and forced teardown. Install ACP shutdown ownership before startup and sign a local completion proof bound to the existing agent, community and launcher nonce.
Native exact Stop requires verified proof plus successful retained-root/group teardown before recording Stopped. Unsupported, missing, forced or uncertain evidence stays replacement-blocking. The guarantee covers trusted Unix ACP/agent/dev-MCP shell process-group work, not detached daemons or external jobs. Legacy Desktop Stop UI and remote Start/Move integration remain separate.
Validated package tests and all-feature clippy, workspace fmt, native default-feature clippy and execution/owner tests, native fmt, current binaries, real selected/peer process-chain teardown, whitespace and differential size gates. Native validation uses a source-only externalBin override, not packaging parity.

## Summary
- require an exact-head trusted approval before desktop auto-tagging
- remove rule-suite authorization that `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot access
- pin review pagination to `page=1` and test the deployed `gh` control
flow
## Why
The previous verifier unconditionally queried repository rule-suite
endpoints with `github.token`. Those endpoints require Administration:
read, which Actions `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot receive. Its paginated list
request also duplicated page one when no explicit page was supplied.
This deliberately removes admin-bypass authorization rather than
introducing a second credential during release recovery. Desktop release
PRs must now have GitHub's overall `APPROVED` decision and a
MEMBER/OWNER/COLLABORATOR approval attached to the exact candidate SHA.
## Validation
- `scripts/test-desktop-release-authorization.sh`
- `scripts/test-release-ref-contract.sh`
- `bash -n scripts/verify-desktop-release-merge.sh
scripts/verify-desktop-release-authorization.sh
scripts/test-desktop-release-authorization.sh
scripts/test-release-ref-contract.sh`
- `git diff --check origin/main...HEAD`
The new flow test uses a stub `gh` executable, asserts the exact
`page=1` request, fails any rule-suite API call, and rejects stale-SHA,
untrusted-author, changes-requested review, and non-approved
aggregate-decision cases.

## Summary
- validate desktop release candidates before merge and keep the
repository squash-only
- tag the squash commit only after proving frozen-base parent and
complete-tree identity with the validated PR head
- accept either an exact-head approval or the durable Default-ruleset
bypass record as release authorization
- remove the unusable App-backed preparation workflow; retain `just
release-desktop`
## Ruleset follow-up
After this PR merges, update Default ruleset `13596885` to:
- enable strict required status checks
- dismiss stale reviews on push and require approval after the last push
- require the integration-bound `Desktop Release Candidate` check
The next desktop release should be cut only after that settings update.
## Verification
At commit `d8c254db427eedbcffac1a6e078e90d1d0f5e151` with a clean
worktree:
- `scripts/test-release-ref-contract.sh`
- `scripts/test-desktop-release-candidate.sh`
- `bash -n scripts/verify-desktop-release-merge.sh
scripts/prepare-desktop-release.sh scripts/test-release-ref-contract.sh`
- `git diff --check`
The bypass test fixture is the captured rule-suite shape from real
squash merge PR #2864 / suite `3520068134`.
