+# QUEUE_APPEND_AUDIT_DRY_REFACTOR_VERIFICATION
+
+Tool: `tools/queue_append_audit.py` (forge lane: Refactor)
+Original: `git show HEAD~1:tools/queue_append_audit.py` — byte-identical at HEAD and
+HEAD~1 (both sha1 `a1b744949417cccc4bdbc78af2d061d5475034ea`); the refactor is
+unstaged in the working tree, so the verifier reads a genuine original both before
+the refactor lands and after it is committed (the `--selftest` commit 9f7bc3b only
+ran ruff and changed nothing material).
+Refactored: working tree (`tools/queue_append_audit.py`)
+
+## The smell
+
+Two families of repetition, both pure refactor targets:
+
+1. **Manual temp-dir teardown, twice.** `audit_commit`'s `finally` and `selftest`'s
+   `finally` each ended in the same 9-line `os.walk(td, topdown=False)` loop that
+   `os.unlink`s every file, `os.rmdir`s every dir, and `os.rmdir`s the temp root,
+   each swallowed in a `try/except OSError: pass`. Two copies of a pattern the
+   stdlib already owns as `shutil.rmtree(..., ignore_errors=True)`. Teardown runs in
+   a `finally` *after* the graded `row` dict is built, so it can affect neither the row
+   nor any verdict.
+
+2. **Six inline grade-error blocks, one shape.** `audit()` returned a `(2, payload)`
+   precondition failure six times, each spelling out:
+   ```python
+   payload["error"] = "..."
+   payload["rc"] = 2
+   return 2, payload
+   ```
+   Identical three-statement shape, differing only in the message string. The literal
+   `payload["error"] = msg; payload["rc"] = 2; return 2, payload` sequence is the unit
+   that was collapsed.
+
+## The refactor
+
+- Added `import shutil`.
+- Replaced both `os.walk`/`unlink`/`rmdir` teardown blocks with
+  `shutil.rmtree(<dir>, ignore_errors=True)`.
+- Replaced the six inline blocks in `audit()` with a single `_grade_error(msg)`
+  helper that sets `payload["error"] = msg`, `payload["rc"] = 2`, `return 2, payload`
+  -- the same fields, same order, same return -- and calls the helper at each site.
+
+`git diff` for the change: two hunks for the teardowns, one hunk for the
+`audit()` error-shape collapse, plus the `import shutil` line. No logic in the
+grading path (`audit_commit` verdict derivation, `numsum`, the range rules) was
+touched.
+
+### Equivalence argument
+
+- **Teardown is post-grading.** `shutil.rmtree` runs in the same `finally` slot the
+  `os.walk` loop occupied. The `row` dict is fully built before `finally` executes,
+  so the teardown change is invisible to the payload.
+- **The error helper is a textual closure.** Each of the six call sites becomes
+  `return _grade_error("...")`; the helper sets exactly `payload["error"]`,
+  `payload["rc"]`, and returns `2, payload` -- the same three statements in the same
+  order, with the message threaded through. No field is added, dropped, reordered, or
+  retyped. `audit()` therefore returns the same `(rc, payload)` tuple for every input.
+
+## Evidence (measured)
+
+The proof lives in `wizard-work/forge/verify_queue_append_audit_dry_refactor.py`.
+It materializes the `HEAD~1` blob as `queue_append_audit.py` in a temp dir and drives
+the ORIGINAL module's `audit()` alongside the REFACTORED working-tree module on a
+5-commit synthetic history (UNGRADABLE / PASS / STALE / PASS / unrelated) built by the
+tool's own `_fixture`. Run output (captured 2026-10-22, this host):
+
+```
+[1] end-to-end audit() drift  rc=1 rows=4  sha_orig=9d9292b55411 sha_ref=9d9292b55411  PASS
+[2] --selftest drift guard  rc=0  PASS
+[3] redundancy (code lines)  _grade_error def=1 calls=6 shutil.rmtree=2 os.walk=0 inline return-2-payload=1 (orig: os.walk=1 inline=6)  PASS
+
+VERDICT: ALL GREEN -- queue_append_audit audit() byte-identical to original, --selftest 25/25, 6 inline error blocks -> _grade_error + shutil.rmtree
+```
+
+> Note on the payload sha: the absolute value (`9d9292b55411` above) is
+> **run-dependent**. The fixture commits git snapshots with live timestamps, so
+> `audit()`'s payload (which records each commit's hash and author date) differs per
+> run. What is verified is the **invariant** `sha_orig == sha_ref` on every run; the
+> CHECK exits non-zero on any mismatch. The captured run shows both sides equal.
+
+### Verdict breakdown
+
+- **[1] END-TO-END audit() DRIFT.** The original (HEAD~1) and refactored working-tree
+  modules both `audit()` the SAME fixture repo in full-history mode. The payloads are
+  byte-identical -- `json.dumps(payload, sort_keys=True)` sha256 matches on both sides
+  (the absolute value is run-dependent; the invariant is orig == ref), and both exit
+  rc=1. The match is non-vacuous: the fixture grades exactly 4 queue-touching commits
+  with counts UNGRADABLE=1, PASS=2, STALE=1, so rc=1 is a real STALE verdict, not a
+  shared error/0.
+- **[2] SELFTEST DRIFT GUARD.** `python3 tools/queue_append_audit.py --selftest` exits
+  0 on the refactored worktree -- the tool's own 25-cell contract
+  (UNGRADABLE/PASS/STALE/PASS selection, `--guard` on clean head and on the stale
+  commit, default-range auto-from, pre-gate count, empty-range rc=2, missing-repo and
+  unknown-rev rc=2, unknown-queue rc=2, `--json` round-trip) still holds 25/25.
+- **[3] REDUNDANCY COLLAPSED.** Measured on code lines (comments/docstrings excluded):
+
+  | pattern (code lines)              | original (HEAD~1) | refactored (tree) |
+  |-----------------------------------|-------------------|-------------------|
+  | `def _grade_error(`                | 0                 | 1                 |
+  | `_grade_error(` call sites         | 0                 | 6                 |
+  | `shutil.rmtree(`                  | 0                 | 2                 |
+  | `os.walk(td, topdown=False)`      | 1                 | 0                 |
+  | `return 2, payload` (inline block)| 6                 | 1 (helper only)   |
+
+  The smell removed from the working tree is still present in the original baseline
+  (1 `os.walk` teardown shape, 6 inline `return 2, payload` blocks), confirming the
+  diff is non-trivial and the assertions are non-vacuous.
+
+## Verdict
+
+Behavior-preserving refactor: the repeated manual teardowns collapsed to
+`shutil.rmtree` and the six inline grade-error returns collapsed to a single
+`_grade_error` helper. `audit()` renders a byte-identical `(rc, payload)` on a 5-commit
+fixture (sha256 matching on both sides, rc=1 STALE), the tool's own 25-cell
+`--selftest` stays green, and the smell is gone from code lines while still present in
+the original.
+
+VERDICT: PASS -- `queue_append_audit.py` refactor is behavior-preserving; audit()
+output byte-identical to original, --selftest 25/25, 6 inline error blocks + 2 manual
+teardowns collapsed into `_grade_error` and `shutil.rmtree`.

+
+Equivalence proof for the behavior-preserving refactor in
+tools/queue_append_audit.py (forge lane: Refactor).
+
+Two behavior-preserving collapses were applied to the working tree:
+
+  (R1) CLEANUP -- the manual temp-dir teardown in `audit_commit` (an
+       `os.walk(td, topdown=False)` loop that `os.unlink`s every file and
+       `os.rmdir`s every dir, then `os.rmdir`s `td` itself, plus a second
+       copy of the same dance in `selftest`) collapsed to
+       `shutil.rmtree(td, ignore_errors=True)` at BOTH sites. Teardown runs
+       in a `finally` AFTER the graded row is built, so it changes neither the
+       row dict nor any verdict.
+
+  (R2) ERROR-HELPER -- six inline blocks of identical shape
+       `payload["error"] = msg; payload["rc"] = 2; return 2, payload` (the
+       three-stmt precondition-failure shape repeated six times in `audit()`)
+       collapsed into one `_grade_error(msg)` helper that sets the SAME fields
+       in the SAME order and returns the SAME `(2, payload)`. Payload and
+       return value are unchanged.
+
+The verdict is proven on three legs:
+
+  1. END-TO-END audit() DRIFT -- a 5-commit synthetic history (UNGRADABLE /
+     PASS / STALE / PASS / unrelated) is graded by the ORIGINAL (git HEAD~1)
+     and the REFACTORED (working tree) `audit()` on the SAME repo; the full
+     `(rc, payload)` is byte-identical (sha256 match). Non-vacuous: the fixture
+     grades a STALE row, so both versions must exit 1, not 0/2.
+
+  2. SELFTEST DRIFT GUARD -- `python3 tools/queue_append_audit.py --selftest`
+     exits 0 on the refactored worktree (the tool's own 25-cell contract).
+
+  3. REDUNDANCY COLLAPSED -- the worktree carries ONE `_grade_error` def with
+     six call sites, TWO `shutil.rmtree` cleanup sites, and ZERO of the old
+     `os.walk(td, topdown=False)` teardown / `return 2, payload` inline blocks
+     (the original, read from git, still carried all six).
+
+Exit code is the verdict: 0 = all green, 1 = any mismatch.
