+# Ticket 103: Adopt repeated published adoption validation
+
+- **ID**: ticket-103
+- **Owner**: unresolved:human
+- **Status**: IN_PROGRESS
+- **Workflow state**: PUBLICATION
+- **Created**: 2026-09-10
+
+## Goal and scope
+
+Adopt published wellmanifest/new-project 0.20.22 at
+`dc2240c22d49391845fef07f32664f37b904504f`, independently merged in source PR 320.
+The previous main run failed governance because a fresh published clone retained
+multiple historical adoption tickets without local terminal receipts. The
+upstream regression covers repeated adoptions while preserving explicit bases,
+clean-published-head checks and conservative handling of ambiguous targets.
+
+SESSION_EXECUTION_AUTHORIZATION: the user authorized the isolated 0.20.22 release
+and continuation through green CI. This authorizes the bounded adoption, tests,
+ticket-branch push and independent protected review/merge; it is not a review
+receipt or permission to bypass a required check.
+
+Change only the generated adoption payload and exact workflow/package bindings.
+Preserve runtime features, historical ticket prose, generated reports and other
+sessions' dirty changes. Raw logs and receipts remain outside Git.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [x] AC-01: The immutable 0.20.22 adoption and target-owned revision bindings pass the managed gate.
+- [ ] AC-02: Local verify, smoke and Docker smoke pass; independent exact-head review/merge and fresh main CI succeed.
+
+## Tracking boundary
+
+This directory contains the minimal reviewed intent. Optional participant prose
+and raw command logs are not required delivery output.
