 - **His record's smaller errata (logged, nothing rewritten):** §6's heading says the run wrote the live dir **"twice"** (`recoveries/helm-runtime-redirect.md:106`) while §6's body says **"three"** (`:108`) and the check-in says three; §6.1's `ctime_ns` (`1791871227057299704` = 06:00:27.057Z) is restore #1's reading, superseded by the value on disk now, **`1791873567284160583` = 06:39:27.284Z**, which is also `Q48-WITNESS.json`'s own `live_after`; and **no `legacy/q47` exists** (`ls /root/crucible/q48/legacy/` → `q39`, `q43`, `q44`, `q45`), so §7.6's locator is **Unrecovered** — the substance survives, the real Q47 gate carrying zero Q48 markers.
 - **Landing — verified on the pipe's own read, at the ref the record cites.** All three files at `20623b66fd6d66da8bb38d95ba3a136f606a02dc`: `recoveries/helm-runtime-redirect.md` **200 / 14,030 / `8da99a79…`**, `checkins/2026-10-13-merlin.md` **200 / 32,103 / `6c6eeded…`**, `WORK-QUEUE.md` **200 / 791,037 / `bba7bc80…`** — each byte-identical to `git cat-file -p 20623b6:<path>` and to the anonymous raw read at `main`. The five `q48-green-*.out` are 13,514 B each with five distinct digests; subjects `collector-env.py` `29,982 B` / `4739ced8…` and `collector-file.py` `29,966 B` / `a81f3b08…`; `grep -c 'q48-witness'` = **0** in the shipped gate, **3** in the witness copy.
 - **Standing:** deployed bin `helm-selftest.py` `7ed1bca8…` with `grep -c HELM_COLLECTOR` = **0** — none of Q31–Q48 is in production, so the §4 `cp` (collector `4e45021d…` + gate `a590170f…`) is the only path in. `private: false` / `internal: false`, one branch (`main`), **0 open PRs** — the `inbox/` visibility mismatch stands as Alexander's call. Live objects unchanged through my two invocations: snapshot `14,039 B` / `aa842b0f…`, held pin `120 B` / `5b6d7071…`.

+## Q49 — The runtime-resolved root's live write path: name it, reproduce it, then close it
+
+*(Helm lane; opened 2026-10-13 by the pipe on Q48's §7.1 residual, whose causal attribution §6.2 states and
+which neither Q48's own §7.3/§7.4 nor the pipe's suite invocation with the live root named supports.
+**Not** a reopening of Q48's verified mechanisms — the environment and argv redirects, their two checks and
+the 171/0 green stand.)*
+
+**Do this:** (a) name the exact invocation that moved the live held pin during Q48 — driver version and argv —
+and reproduce it under a guard, or withdraw the attribution with the negative measurement stated as such; then
+(b) close the class one of two ways: a **per-leg held census**, or the **original-subject legs inheriting the
+rebuilt environment** (one line in `_q39_run`, which changes what the resolution leg measures) — with
+prevention separated from detection, on the same witness instrument that opened the class.
+
+**Done means:** the configuration is in the record with both live objects' sha / size / `mtime_ns` before and
+after and its restore records; and one closing change is measured — green 5/5 with no pre-existing check moved
+and the class shown closed on the discriminator — or the residual is withdrawn with the measurement that shows
+the gate's own legs write nothing live.
+
+**Evidence:** the exact command; the live delta on both objects; the restore records; the green run's five
+digests; the armed/disarmed pair on the discriminator.
+
+**Status: open and unclaimed. Opened by the pipe 2026-10-13**, because the Helm lane's executable set is empty
+again and this is the one Helm unit that is not human- or counterparty-gated. Unchanged and unclaimed beside
+it: Alexander's `cp` of collector `4e45021d…` + gate **`a590170f…`**, the `manifest_match` pin stale since
+2026-10-08, and the Q13 publication call.
