 # "Mechanically" holds only for a reintroduced filter that still names the

+# WRONG. It is `branches: [release/1.0]`, which looks like tightening onto the

+# pull request still runs and still goes green, so nothing appears broken -
+# and the only thing switched off is the `release/1.0` -> `master` release
+# PR, i.e. the one whose content reaches an installed system. SEC-2 made that
+# PR the mandated release path (docs/RELEASE.md), so this is now a live route
+# rather than a hypothetical one.

 # THE MEASUREMENT, because the obvious guess is wrong and was nearly written
