+# Triage - 2026-09-26
+
+## Decision
+
+Triage of the 12 pending items in `inbox/seed-2026-09-26.json`, read from each item's stated evidence.
+
+| # | Category | Decision | Reason (evidence) |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | archive_fix | approve | Flag 3 of 7. Grade: contradicted. Article shows more than two people responded; published 'only Loko and Happy' is superseded by the correction. |
+| 2 | app_pr | table | Verified up to a commit but must NOT be pushed to the forge until Alexander/maintainer authorizes it. |
+| 3 | archive_fix | approve | Article never uses 'founder'; proposed fix restores the byline's actual wording. |
+| 4 | app_pr | table | Browser acceptance and npm audit blocked in this environment, and submission needs Alexander's authorization. |
+| 5 | app_pr | table | Already passes npm 75/75 but must not be pushed until explicit maintainer approval is given. |
+| 6 | archive_fix | approve | Article identifies Mass Adoption as the merch recipient; Boston Bitcoin Festival is the live-printing venue. Correction grounded and independently re-verified. |
+| 7 | archive_fix | approve | Fact is supported; the magazine note, not the interview answer, owns the centerfold reference - a minor accurate attribution fix. |
+| 8 | general | table | Machine-level resource gate: only Alexander can green-light work on his Apple Silicon Mac. |
+| 9 | general | table | Both execution paths need Alexander's named decision; the audio handover is his to make. |
+| 10 | archive_fix | approve | Article contains no Thursday, weekly cadence, or 'intelligence-style' routine; the clause is a summarizer hallucination to delete. |
+| 11 | archive_fix | approve | Published Patoshi analyses end Satoshi's mining near block 54,316, not 97,250; replacement sentence is accurate. |
+| 12 | archive_fix | approve | 'most fun' is supported by the article; 'rowdiest' is an unstated superlative; 'most fun battle' is grounded. |
+
+## Counts
+
+- approve: 7
+- reject: 0
+- table (needs a decision): 5
+
+## Notes
+
+- archive_fix / approve: the published wording contradicts or overstates the article; the correction is grounded in the article text and is published.
+- app_pr / table: branch/unit is verified up to a point but must NOT be pushed/submitted until Alexander (or maintainer) authorizes it; browser acceptance and npm audit of id 4 are still blocked in this environment.
+- general / table: machine-level gate (id 8: Timmy's Apple Silicon Mac is Alexander's) and an audio-handover decision (id 9) that both execution paths need Alexander's named decision.
+- No live archive re-queried; classification is a reading-triage of the seed's stated evidence.
+- See `wizard-work/sol/Triage-2026-09-26.json` for the full record (category, decision, rule, evidence quote).
