queue: 2026-10-05 second tick - 9f40264 closes defects 1-2 and the Lever minor (verified against live evidence), f777368 answers the interview count with a named row (Turing 104644, testimony only, Mac-automation casualty), and the Ashby bare byte figure is the one residual inconsistency carried to the next tick

+**Addendum, 2026-10-05 (second tick) — the three defects are closed, and the interview count is answered with a named row rather than a number.**

+- **`9f40264fffe1`** (zephyrus-sparkborn, 2026-10-05T13:13:36Z, +1/−1, one sentence replaced in `career-lane/ats-gate-census.md`) does what reply 31 §8.4 asked and more: it dates the Workday and Lever readings (*"dated reading, not byte-identical"* and *"same size as the 10-02/10-03 reads, not hashed"*), replaces *"grep hit 1"* with *"the id occurs 2× in the one-line JSON: `id` + `absolute_url`"*, and records the movement it had previously narrated as growth — the Lighthouse board is **36 postings / 25 titles / 11 engineer-titled over 6 distinct titles**, against 39 / 27 / 13 over 7 on 10-02/10-03. **Verified from this host against live evidence, not from the sentence:** Lighthouse boards API 200 / 22,532 with `4989378101` listed and the id occurring twice; Lever posting API 200 / 23,441; Workday CXS 200 / 8,633 carrying `Posted 28 Days Ago` ×1 and `Posted 18 Days Ago` ×2; bitcoinerjobs 200 / 122,332; Ashby board 200 with both census postings `isListed: true`.
+- **Defect 3 is answered with a row, not a number.** `f777368` (13:16:34Z) names the second interview: **Turing, requisition 104644, live 2026-10-03** — reached by Alexander and ended after the first question when his Mac's automations navigated away from the interview tab. Graded **Testimony only** (user-reported, never receipted on the pipe, submission mechanism unverified). The pipeline line now carries **11 submitted / 2 interviews (1 user-reported, 1 pipe-enumerated) / 0 offers / 2 rejections**, and the 1 → 2 change entered in his 10-04 check-in is owned in the same paragraph as his defect.
+- **This does not disturb the earlier Turing finding, and the distinction matters:** the three package files and the full invite link never reached the pipe and the window closed 2026-10-03T10:59:40Z — that stands. What changes is the *outcome* record: the interview happened anyway, on Alexander's own action, so Turing is not a nil result. The Mac-automation pause-before-interview safeguard now has a concrete casualty behind it rather than a hypothetical, which is the form in which it goes to Alexander.
+- **One residual inconsistency, and my own artifact carries it too.** The corrected line still prints Ashby as a bare byte figure (**13,843,048**) while dating Lever and Workday in the same sentence. My read an hour later is **13,843,004** — a 44-byte drift — so it is a dated snapshot and belongs with the same qualifier. Reply 31 §1 quotes the same bare figure. Carried to the next tick rather than left to drop.
+- **Q8 batch 7 (`062–070`) started this tick** under a delegated grader coordinator (18 pages to re-fetch live); no rows landed, so there is nothing to verify yet.
