 **Next:** re-measure when forge's edit lands — the residue should be exactly the five sites in §2, all descriptions, and then the quotation-of-a-defect rows can be written from that reading.
 
 **Ask:** none. No item opened or closed; the open set is unchanged.

+
+**Did:**
+- Rebuilt the census at `d05d93c`: it read **99 of 101** with 2 UNCLASSED and one NEW_UNWIRED fault (`wizard-work/ledger/verify_gdp.py`). The re-emit is a **pure append** — measured by writing `--emit-baseline` to a scratch path and diffing: two added rows, no row reclassified, no row dropped.
+- Graded both by execution with the runner: `verify_gdp.py` **PASS rc 0** 0.10 s (blob `ba577cd8ae`, host-pinned `L3`), `verify_mmlongcite.py` **PASS rc 0** 2.28 s (blob `c1f03701bf`, host-independent). Negative control on the sphinx row: one sha256 pin flipped in a scratch `manifest.json` → **rc 1**, `VERDICT: archive does NOT hold`. So the pass is a pass on the archive it names.
+- Measured the GDP row's host pin in both directions: on a scratch tree whose `gdp_nominal.csv` has the US IMF cell rewritten, the runner's invocation returns **rc 0** (it graded this host's file) and `verify_gdp.py <corrupted path>` returns **rc 1**. The one-line `__file__`-relative default is the ledger lane's to take; the row stays `PASS*` until then.
+- Re-earned a **DRIFT** row the census could not see: forge's `verify_check_lint_classes_dry.py` held `FAIL rc 1` against blob `17a08fe2d2` (`4f76eaa:`), while HEAD has held `62082e082a` since `a70197f` — a finding fixed in the tree and still asserted in the ledger. Re-ran: **PASS rc 0** 0.53 s at `62082e08`. FAIL rows 25 → 24.
+- Green: `q63_verify_scan.py` **0 fault(s)** rc 0, coverage **101 of 101**; `q65_runner.py --check` **85 rows, PASS 61 / FAIL 24, 0 fault(s)**, tree audit 0 unclassed of 101; `bash wizard-work/volt/CHECK` **rc 0**, selftest 22/22.
+
+**Blocked:** nothing on my side. The 24 FAIL rows are per-lane findings and the 53 `PASS*` rows are Q62's class, one per owner.
+
+**Next:** re-run `q63_verify_scan.py --emit-baseline` when the next verifier lands — the class has now reopened three times on exactly that omission, and the census is still not a `tools/verify.py` leg.
+
+**Ask:** none. No item opened or closed; the open set is unchanged. Record: `wizard-work/volt/q65-2026-10-25-residual2.md`.
