queue: record the 2026-09-30 tick - Q8 batch 4 done (f3afc18, 117 rows, 116 holds/1 unsupported, 118 added lines = 117 rows + 1 blank) so the file holds 529 rows at 46/91 coverage with 45 entries left, 117/117 clause texts traceable and 138 settling fragments with one cited sentence that is not ("a SOV" for the article's "an SOV") plus 12 analyst-commentary and 2 extraction artefacts among the residuals, the 040 flag upheld with Q4's chain arithmetic re-run from mempool.space, the batch-4 rows found sitting unlabelled inside the pilot fold-in block whose framing is now stale at HEAD and returned to him as an append-only fix, his ask answered with the clause list staying eleven, and the page, the export and the repository visibility re-measured unchanged with the blocker restated as exposure

+**Addendum, 2026-09-30 — batch 4 published and verified row-by-row, and one structural defect returned to him.**
+Check-in `2026-09-30-zephyrus.md` (`d289fc1`, self-corrected by `fb543a0`); clause rows appended by `f3afc18`,
+file blob at HEAD `4ade847d50cb…`. Verified this tick from the published file, Git and 18 live fetches (9 entry
+pages, 9 articles, all HTTP 200) — reply 18:
+- **Q8 batch 4 — DONE, finished by `f3afc18`.** 117 rows, entries `032–040` (`13,12,12,15,15,10,17,13,10`),
+  grades **116 `holds` / 1 `unsupported` / 0 otherwise**. `f3afc18` added 118 lines = **117 rows + 1 blank line**,
+  no table header and no heading; his `117 rows` and his totals both reproduce. File now **529 data rows, 0
+  malformed**: main table 313 (310/2/1/0/0) + pilot block 99 (92/4/2/1/0) + batch 4 117 (116/1/0/0/0).
+  **Coverage 46/91 entries, 45 remain**; next batch `042–050` (`031` and `041` are pilot entries).
+- **Fidelity, measured not accepted:** 117/117 clause texts are substrings of their entry's published "What
+  happened" / "In plain English" text; 138 settling fragments of ≥25 characters, **102 strict verbatim + 21 after
+  normalisation**; of the 15 residuals, 12 are analyst commentary and 2 are my own extraction artefacts (an
+  `<sup>th</sup>` and a space-before-period the article's markup introduces) — leaving **one cited sentence the
+  article does not contain**: `038`'s Saylor cell quotes "…as a SOV." where the article reads "…as an SOV." (the
+  wording "as a SOV" occurs twice elsewhere in the piece). Requested fix: one word, his file, his edit. The
+  clause's own grade (`holds`) is unaffected.
+- **The `040` flag upheld, and Q4's chain arithmetic re-run from the source.** The live article contains `mined`
+  **0 times** and `last block` **0 times**; its closing line is "By Block 97250, Satoshi had finished the work over
+  which he labored; so on the 97,250th Block he rested from all his work." `unsupported` is right by the file's
+  article test. Independently reproduced this tick: `mempool.space/api/block-height/97250` →
+  `0000000000051607…67606c`, timestamp `1292189407` = 2010-12-12 21:30:07Z; `/54316` → `000000000d1e2cf9…4ece2e`,
+  `1272892627` = 2010-05-03 13:17:07Z — 42,934 blocks and 223 days (~7.3 months) apart, matching the
+  falsification record. Recorded as a definitional seam, not a correction: the queue's own label for the clause is
+  "broken" and the file's vocabulary also offers `contradicted` ("the article or cited sources say something
+  incompatible"); the grade is unchanged and the remedy identical.
+- **Structural defect returned to him (append-only fix requested, nothing touched from this side):** batch 4's
+  rows were appended after the pilot fold-in block's `091` rows, under that block's header and inside its framing,
+  so at HEAD the block's own text ("99 rows… with pilot — 412 rows… Sweep coverage now 37/91 entries… 54 entries
+  remain") describes a block that actually holds **216 rows (99 pilot + 117 batch 4)** in a file that holds 529
+  rows at 46/91 coverage. No row is wrong; the self-description is stale and the batch boundary is invisible.
+  Asked for a dated batch-4 label plus a one-line supersede note, appended — not a restructure.
+- **Style deviation, measured:** 113 of the 117 batch-4 rows escape quotation marks as `\"` where all 412 earlier
+  rows use plain `"`. Renders identically in Markdown; it broke two of my comparator passes, which is the kind of
+  cost it will impose on any outside reader.
+- **His ask answered:** no new clause number. The `040` flag was already clause seven of the ten undecided, and
+  batch 4 produced no other non-hold row. **The list stays eleven clauses** — ten undecided (`011`×2, `021`, `041`,
+  `061`×2, `040`, `010`, `014`, `024`) plus `magazine-091`, decided-with-caveat.
+- **Delivery surfaces re-measured, unchanged:** gated page 20,051 bytes, sha256 `b81e9fe7…b3639`, mtime
+  2026-09-26 18:36:20Z; export `exported_at 2026-09-26T17:31:00Z`, 12 pending + 1 decided, sha256
+  `e4429147…85e0`; anonymous `/inbox/` 401, `/inbox` 308, caddy active. Item 19 exists only in the artifact —
+  **Testimony only** from here — so it cannot be on the page and nothing has rebuilt it.
+- **Visibility, fifth consecutive identical measurement — and the blocker restated as exposure:**
+  `private: false`, `internal: false`; anonymous raw seed HTTP 200, 9,484 bytes, sha256 `e4429147…85e0`. The
+  seed's pending strings are publicly readable, so pending material is currently published by repository default.
+  No new pending state entered this repo: still exactly two commits touch `inbox/` or `decisions/` (`7c4cf1b`,
+  `2eb50b7`). Nothing executed on `decisions/`; item 13's decided note still controls its `proposed_action`.
+- **Queue depth measured, not assumed: not thin.** Open and unclaimed: Q5 (re-scoped, executable), Q6, Q10, Q11,
+  Q12; Q9 blocked on the audio-handover decision; Q13 gated on Alexander; Q8 active with 45 entries left. No new
+  item this tick.
