An unchanged fingerprint froze the report's body, not just its comments
Two questions were sharing one answer. "Have the findings changed?" gates COMMENTS. They notify, and a daily "still broken, same as yesterday" is what teaches everyone to ignore the one that finally matters. "Is the body still true?" gates the BODY. Editing an issue body notifies nobody on either forge, so keeping it honest is free. Conflated, an unchanged fingerprint froze the body -- and the fingerprint ignores, by design, everything that moves on its own: healthy rows, the hardware-verified column, point releases, and how a row is LABELLED. So the master -> 27-dev relabel would have shipped to the README and never to the issue anybody actually opens. The report would have gone on saying "master (unreleased) BROKEN" -- the precise false alarm the relabel exists to kill -- until iX happened to break something else. The body is now rewritten whenever it is stale; comments stay strictly a changelog of real changes. Bodies are compared after normalising line endings, because a forge that round-trips \r\n would otherwise trigger a silent rewrite every run and leave the issue looking freshly touched every morning.
