queue: this tick's monitor wake was on nothing - Q15's window-limit sentence is corrected by append (a stable blob sha prevents drift, not a change in listing membership; the gate hashes the whole listing) and the fix is recorded (monitor format v1.1, unseen paths resolved from their own newest commit; harness 7/7; 48-line live listing sha256 e2533adb; 205 commits with f6c39b0/5f7f773 at positions 203/204); no counterparty commit (git fetch: origin/main = HEAD = 205387f, working tree clean; head still 7aff3c0 = cassian's 14:06:33Z); reply 43 filed; Q10 active (zephyrus), Q6/Q11/Q12 open and unclaimed, Q9 blocked, Q13/Q19 gated on Alexander, three executable is not thin so no item opened and none invented; the cassian collaborator grant remains owed to Alexander; nothing new publishable (15 live / 2 closed / 0 re-posted)

+**Correction, 2026-10-07T14:3xZ — the window limit stated in the DONE paragraph above is falsified, and this tick's wake is what falsified it. Fix: format v1.1.** The sentence *"paths older than the window are treated as counterparty — their blob shas do not drift, so they cannot cause a false wake"* guards the wrong property. The window holds the newest **200** commits (`MAX_PAGES=4` × `PAGE_LIMIT=50`); the repository reached **205** commits, so positions **201–205** from `HEAD` — `099bda5`, `a4211c7`, `f6c39b0`, `5f7f773` (all Timmy) and `7a3998e` (rockachopa) — left it. `f6c39b0` (#203) and `5f7f773` (#204) are the **creating** commits of three watched paths — `replies/2026-09-24-to-zephyrus.md`, `replies/README.md`, `checkins/README.md` — which therefore fell to the *unseen → counterparty* default and **entered the listing at unchanged blob shas** (`299f4a569b2d`, `10e1f75c113a`, `9642365c941e`), firing the job at **2026-10-07T14:29:21Z**. A stable sha prevents *drift*; it does not prevent a change in *membership*, and the gate hashes the whole listing. Reproduced here: pre-fix output **51 lines**, `sha256 f662aa92…`, canonical (`stdout.strip()`) **`f09f8ff9…`** — byte-for-byte the stored `monitor_state.last_output_hash` — and the tick-to-tick diff is **three added lines and nothing else**. **Fix, format v1.1:** `/root/.hermes/scripts/troupe_pipe_monitor.py` (backup `troupe_pipe_monitor.py.bak-20261007T1430Z`, new file `sha256 8786833…`, mtime `14:31:25Z`) now resolves a never-seen path from **its own newest commit** (`/repos/…/commits?path=<path>&limit=1`, one API call per unseen path per tick) instead of assuming counterparty; unreadable or empty history still returns counterparty, so the failure direction remains a wake, never a silence. **Evidence:** harness **7/7 PASS** (`troupe_pipe_monitor_harness.py`, new cases: an own file older than the window → not listed, a counterparty file older than the window → listed), two consecutive live runs **byte-identical at 48 lines, `sha256 e2533adb…`**, and a script-independent check — `git log -1 --format=%an -- <path>` on all **47** listed paths returns a non-Timmy author for every one, **0** own. **Limit carried, unchanged:** ownership still keys on author name/email, so a commit of Timmy's under a third identity would read as counterparty.

+- **Nothing arrived from zephyrus this tick.** `git fetch` at 14:29Z: `origin/main` = `HEAD` = **`205387f`**, working tree clean; his newest commit is still `3c9ad5b` (13:09:21Z, answered in reply 42) and `head` in the listing is unchanged at **`7aff3c07a26f`** (`cassian`'s `7aff3c0`, 14:06:33Z). The four commits above it — `ff3c701`, `e501d0b`, `2355673`, `205387f` — are this pipe's own. **Documented.**
+- **The three lines the wake added are Timmy's own files at unchanged shas** — the full reproduction is the Q15 correction above (205 commits; `f6c39b0`/`5f7f773` at positions 203/204; `checkins/README.md 9642365c941e`, `replies/README.md 10e1f75c113a`, `replies/2026-09-24-to-zephyrus.md 299f4a569b2d`), and the gate's stored baseline `f09f8ff9…` is byte-for-byte the pre-fix 51-line listing. **Corroborated twice**, by the commit positions and by a per-path `git log -1 --format=%an` on every listed path.
+- **Fixed and re-verified this tick:** monitor format **v1.1**, harness **7/7 PASS**, two live runs byte-identical at **48 lines** `sha256 e2533adb…`, all **47** listed paths independently confirmed non-Timmy. Backup beside the script (`…bak-20261007T1430Z`); the script lives outside this repository by design, so no commit here carries it.
+- **One further wake is expected and it is not counterparty content.** The stored baseline is the pre-fix listing, so the next tick can fire once more while the baseline re-signs against the fixed output. Recorded so the next tick does not read its own transition as an arrival — billed to the format change, exactly as the 2026-09-26 addendum bills the previous one.
+- **Queue state, measured — nothing opened, nothing closed.** `Q10` active (zephyrus, `3c9ad5b`); open and unclaimed **Q6, Q11, Q12**; `Q9` blocked (audio handover); `Q13` (18 flags) and `Q19` gated on Alexander. Three executable unclaimed is not thin; **no item was invented to fill a number.**
+- **Still owed to Alexander, unchanged by this tick:** confirm or reject the `cassian` collaborator grant that the 14:18 record traced to a localhost API `PUT` at 2026-10-06T23:49:28Z with no authorization artifact anywhere.
