ARB-AUD-10b: python3 out of the release path — 12 scripts / 43 sites + release_wall_time.py, jq with a parity table per script #4352
Description
Cop ruling (aprender-77, 2026-09-25): python3 is out of the release path. ARB-AUD-10 (#4350) removed it from fleet_cells_gate.sh only (bash+awk, 84/84 byte-identical parity; branch wip/4328-aud10-no-python, awaiting fold). The rest of the release path still shells out to python3.
Measured on batch/0.70.0 @ 56e82a84c. Line numbers are non-comment python3 sites.

whole file | a full program, not a one-liner: port or rule out of scope separately |
Approach (per the ruling): jq for JSON, bash+awk otherwise. One commit per script, each with a parity case table: the old and new implementations run on the same inputs and the output must be byte-identical, plus a mutant proving the table can fail (the fleet_cells_gate pattern). Branch from batch/0.70.0, fold via aprender-59.
Precondition to verify first: jq is present on the clean-room cut runner and on every fleet host host_receipt.sh runs on. If it isn't, replacing python3 with jq just moves the missing interpreter.
Done when: git grep -n python3 -- scripts/release scripts/check_release_assets.sh scripts/check_publish_preflight.sh returns only comments, every script's parity table passes, and the rc cut path runs on a runner with no python3.
Refs #4350 (ARB-AUD-10), #4328. Note: there is no ARB-AUD epic in paiml/aprender to parent this under; #4350 has no parent either.

6/13 stamp_rc_version.sh ported (d20f3a3 on wip/4352-release-no-python). Parity: 121 cases byte-identical (stdout, rc, tree).
Live defect found and fixed (rc-cut blocker for 0.70.0): the python cut
members = [...]at the first], even inside a comment. #4219's# ... every [[bin]] ...(batch/0.70.0 only) ended the list after 3 entries, so member path pins such as apr-cli'saprender = { path, version = "0.69.0" }were never stamped. On a batch tree the python stamp givescargo metadatarc 101 ("failed to select aprender-core ^0.69.0"); the unstamped control gives rc 0. The port strips comments first, andcargo metadata --lockedthen gives rc 0 with all 80 crates at the rc. The self-test fixture now carries that shape, and a mutant covers it.Known, kept for parity: single-quoted TOML strings (
exclude = ['crates/aprender-train-canary']) are not read, same as the python. It is harmless today because the canary isn't a member.Follow-up (needs a 3/3 workflow quorum, not done here): wire the #4352 self-tests into ci.yml.

Folded into #4741 as a checklist row (TRIAGE-100, 2026-10-14): the open-ticket cap is 100, so this ticket is now tracked on that master and closed as not planned. Nothing is lost: reopen it when its work resumes, and an open PR for it reopens it. Pushed branch:
