 - **Adopt the merge-bot caller stub, which is one file per repo replacing the copied job bodies.** The audit reports the missing `merge-bot` caller job on every copy until the repo adopts, which is the work list.
   - **Hub state** - Done on `develop`, where `.github/workflows/merge-bot-task.yml` is the task and the hub's own `merge-bot-pull-request.yml` is the stub. The stub a repo copies is in [`docs/reusable-workflows.md`][reusable-workflows-doc] "Adopting the Merge-Bot", and its pin is the first hub release carrying the task, so no repo can adopt before that release.
-  - **Outstanding** - Every repo still carrying the job bodies rather than the stub, which the audit's missing `merge-bot` job finding lists. PhotoCleaner adopted in ptr727/PhotoCleaner#53 and promoted it in ptr727/PhotoCleaner#54 on 2026-08-15, and HomeAutomation-Config adopted in ptr727/HomeAutomation-Config#58 on 2026-08-19, so the repos still carrying the bodies, homeassistant-purpleair for the `rules` input among them, are the adopters still to come. HomeAutomation-Config piloted the direct-to-`develop` path while it was still an operational repo, where [a merge-bot run][ha-config-pilot-run] merged the Dependabot pull request ptr727/HomeAutomation-Config#412 into `develop` on 2026-09-23, and none of the repos still carrying the bodies is operational, so no pilot of that path is owed.
+  - **Outstanding** - Every repo whose box in the stage 1 list of [`docs/reusable-workflows.md`][reusable-workflows-doc] is still unticked, which the audit's missing `merge-bot` job finding also lists. That list is the tracker and names the adopters, so this entry does not.

   - **Issue** - [#521][issue-521], whose hub half is done and whose sweep half this is.
   - **Rides with** - The `verbatim` re-vendor above.
   - **Detail** - The unused `GITHUB_TOKEN` grants #521 names are gone with the copy, since the task declares none and the stub sets `permissions: {}`.

Default path observed on PhotoCleaner's adoption pull request, [pilot smoke run][pilot-smoke-run], where the hub's `validate-default` ran because that repo carries no `validate` hook. The follow-up self-reference pilot also runs the bundled prose and repository gates through `$/.github/actions/` without checking out the hub.

The `python-versions` input settles the interpreter half, a caller naming `["3.14"]` moving the leg there, and leaves the dependency-version axis open, which is a dimension the hub task does not express. PlexCleaner's Python is a stdlib-only tooling subtree with no tests yet, which it owes before it names that subtree in `python-directories`. The hub cannot smoke-test this itself, having no `tests/` of its own.
