A push to main whose head commit starts with "Release version " (the subject pkgmgr writes for every release) now cancels the main run in progress, so the release starts at once instead of queueing behind it. Every other push to main still leaves the running pipeline alone.
When the pushed main commit carries a vX.Y.Z tag, the orchestrator runs with chunk_gate false: every chunk deploys and reports, and a failed chunk still turns the run red, so release-guard and release-version stay skipped.
entry-cancel-superseded.yml mirrors the new rule behind its push guard, parenthesised so && does not bind the release clause; the mirror test composes the expected rule the same way.

A cancel request does not stop a running step. The runner asks it to end, and a step that ignores the signal keeps going, bounded only by its own timeout-minutes -- 350 for a deploy. Meanwhile the concurrency group holds the newer run on pending until the occupant is terminal, not until it is cancel-requested. Measured on run 32859801382: the cancel was accepted at 15:27:45 and thirteen minutes later ten deploy jobs were still running and the newer run still had not started.
The sweep now waits FORCE_CANCEL_AFTER_SECONDS and force-cancels whatever is still not completed. Cleanup steps are skipped for those, which is the price: the artefacts of an already superseded run help nobody. Only entry-cancel-superseded.yml sets the variable -- a closed pull request and a deleted branch have nothing waiting on the group, so they keep cancelling and walking away.

A long orchestrator sweep sometimes survives its concurrency group: the occupant sits on queued while its matrix waits for runners, cancel-in-progress does not reap it, and the newer run parks on pending until someone cancels the sweep by hand. PR #380 sat that way for nine hours behind a run from the previous commit.
entry-cancel-superseded.yml cancels those leftovers through the API. The group stays primary and untouched: it reaps within seconds and needs no runner, so the fallback normally arrives to find nothing left to do. It carries no concurrency group of its own, because the run holding a group cannot be the run that frees it.
Selection mirrors what the group would have done: cancel every matched run except the newest in the group instance, keyed the way the group is keyed. Not by head SHA, which goes stale while the job waits for a runner and would cancel the newest commit's CI while sparing the stale one. INCLUDE_PATHS keeps the sweep inside the group's own members, so a push to main cannot take the cron workflows with it.
deleted_branch_runs.sh becomes branch_runs.sh, since it now also serves live branches, and the shared parts move to lib.sh. A rejected cancel is logged and the remaining runs are still attempted; only a denied token fails the job.

The PR-close canceller had no concurrency group at all, so cancelling
depended entirely on scripts/github/cancel/pull_request_runs.sh, which
needs a runner before it can call the API. Runners were 20 minutes to 21
hours out, and run 31451265380 stayed alive that whole time.
The canceller now joins the group entry-pr-change-orchestrate.yml renders
for the same PR. GitHub clears the group when the run is created, before a
runner is assigned, so the orchestrator dies immediately and the script
becomes a backstop instead of the only path.
The group spells pull_request out literally rather than interpolating
github.event_name. This workflow is triggered by pull_request_target, so
the interpolated form would join the twin the orchestrator's own job
guards already skip on a same-repo PR and leave the working run untouched.
A fork PR runs both twins; the pull_request_target one is still left to
the script.
The branch-delete sweep filtered runs by head_branch alone and shot this
canceller mid-cancel. It now excludes the canceller's own path.

Group the shell helpers under scripts/github/ into five subfolders
that match how the workflow files consume them:
runner/ host-runner hygiene (disk, swap, Docker daemon, diagnostics)
cancel/ run cancellation on PR-close and branch-delete events
resolve/ derivation of workflow inputs and outputs from repo state
update/ scheduled Update: Versions pipeline
release/ release-time gates
Drop the now-redundant subfolder prefix from each filename, e.g.
dump_runner_state.sh becomes dump_state.sh and cancel_pull_request_runs.sh
becomes pull_request_runs.sh. Each subfolder carries a README that
describes its scope per documentation.md rules; the top-level README
points at the subfolders without inventorying files.
Propagate the new paths through ten workflow files, three docs
(workflow.md, pipeline.md, secrets.md), and two tests. Fix a real
runtime bug in enlarge_swap.sh, which still referenced the
pre-rename dump_runner_state.sh path. Extend the inline-block-size
lint hint to describe the new subfolder convention.
