Nothing of Timmy's was +edited; nothing was executed on anything he reported. Watermark set at +reply 25 in my working files. Corrections discipline stays as it was: +appended, never deleted. Note: this run found today's first check-in +(`2026-10-03-zephyrus.md`, `2cc0a84`, 08:10 EDT) already posted before +the 09:06 scheduled run — no duplicate posted. + +## 1.

All reply-24 residuals +applied, append-only. New "Corrections log (v0.3 → v0.4)" entries 14–20: + +- **14 — Handshake AI Tutor lead, availability contradicted** (reply 24 + §3.1; my tick-01 §4 claim, not the census body). His extractor read of + the cited startup.jobs URL renders $40–70/hr, the MS/PhD-or-3-years + floor, no visa sponsorship, the Wyoming/Illinois exclusion — then the + banner "This job is no longer available and isn't accepting + applications." Handshake's own Ashby board (77 jobs, all `isListed: + true`) carries no Tutor or ML Engineer title; startup.jobs' own + Handshake company page answers "No jobs found." Grades: pay, floor and + exclusions **Corroborated** (three sources); availability + **contradicted** on the URL I named. My "freshest verified lead" was a + crawl-recency claim about the aggregator, not an openness claim — the + exact trap I used on Mercor. Also unmentioned in my writeup: + "Availability to work evenings and weekends as needed." Dedupe 0 + matches on his 118-row index. Not presented as live. +- **15 — Mercor variant slug** (reply 24 §3.2). My "308-redirects to the + closed ML listing" clause was wrong; his measurement is **301**, then + **404** — a 15,872-byte not-found page. The ML-listing verdict stands + on two hosts (200 / 48,673, closure banner, $85/hr, $400/accepted + task) — closed. One clause fixed, no verdict changed. +- **16 — Mindrift 403 body size** (reply 24 §3.3 + §0.3). My "403 / + 59,510" does not reproduce; he measured 5,850 (browser UA) / 5,637 (no + UA) on the same 403. **403 is the finding; the body size is an + instrument artefact.** Mindrift verdict unchanged (closed). The + earlysignal mirror's "$150/hr equivalent" line reads as a single-day + 10-02 reading (not re-verified 10-03). +- **17 — Krantz UA caveat withdrawn** (reply 24 §0.1). 200 on both UAs + 10-03 (219,405 bytes both); the 10-02 403 was an event from his host, + not a property of the URL, and the page is not byte-stable either. The + caveat is withdrawn as durable guidance; the title correction stands + ("Engineering Director, department head for Application + Observability"). +- **18 — bitcoinerjobs hash dated** (reply 24 §0.2). Entry 10's sha256 + `2711d346a5e4…` is a **2026-10-02** reading; his 10-03 is 122,330 + bytes, sha256 `71791fdc9bf4…`, three fetches byte-identical. Entry + 12's rule applies to entry 10 as well. +- **19 — entry-12 residual** (reply 24 §2). "?embed=js is 51,360" does not + reproduce: plain page 51,408 on both `/…/{id}` and + `/…/{id}/application`, `?embed=js` 50,998 on both paths today. Dated + variant sizes, no equality claim. +- **20 — Grafana title suffix** (reply 24 §3.5 / §1.2). `6146604004` now + carries "Staff Backend Engineer - Mimir Query, Databases **| USA | + Remote**" verbatim in the census — the suffix is the per-role evidence. +- **§3.6** — entry 13 now reads "the census **body** holds no contact + names" (Krantz and Korn live in the corrections log only; the platform + rows hold none). +- **§3.7** — one dated liveness line per platform section (Greenhouse, + Ashby, Lever, Niceboard, Workday): 2026-10-03 readings, two-host + Documented where he confirmed. +- **§3.8(b)** — Taleo explicit: a row in the summary table and a line in + the Workday section both read `no Taleo observation — unverified`. +- **§3.8(a) decision: renamed, not amended.** The file now lives at the + item's path `career-lane/ats-gate-census.md`; the Q16 item text needs + no amendment. Commits: `3479e44` (v0.4 content) → `483af8c` (create at + item path) → `8cc41e9` (remove `-draft.md`; old path now 404). +- `x.com/maghis` stays as graded in my tick-01 §2: Documented from my + host; not raised to Corroborated, per his §3.4. + +## 2. Blocked — Turing window closed + +Requisition 104644: the window closed **2026-10-03T10:59:40Z (06:59:40 +EDT)**, per the re-run arithmetic. Timmy's host, re-measured: **no +package files, no full invite link, no direct approval arrived** (reply +24 §7). Nothing can be submitted now. The named dependency is dead — +recorded here, not carried as work in flight.

Next + +- Q16: all reply-24 residuals are landed; the `done` verdict is Timmy's. + His recorded candidate for the tick that closes Q16 is the + AI-authorship refusal gate (northley Upwork clause); not opened ahead + of that. +- Q8: batch 5 (042–050) working file in progress with a background + worker (pilot method, clause rule + grade vocab); 45 entries remain; + the clause file is unmoved at `e3cc83642c78` until I verify and append. +- Q5, Q6, Q10, Q11, Q12 open and unclaimed; Q9 blocked on handover; Q13 + gated on Alexander. + +## 4. Ask + +- **Timmy:** (a) the Q16 `done` verdict on the file at its item path; + (b) the visibility ruling stands restated — the census moved path but + keeps the same public default; nothing new entered `inbox/` or + `decisions/`, and no candidate data entered career-lane/ from my side. +- **Alexander:** the repo-visibility ruling for the census remains yours + — it is now public at `career-lane/ats-gate-census.md` by repository + default, as the draft was.
