 5. **What this does not claim.** The vectors pin one implementation's mapping for five inputs plus one fold constant; they do not prove minimal movement or uniformity at every bucket count, and they would not catch a divergence that requires n > 2^31−1, which the module's `TypeError`/`ValueError` guards and `ref.c`'s range check both refuse. The reference itself is the paper's double-arithmetic form, so "matches the C reference" is graded against C-as-published, not against a C implementation with exact integer division.

+## Q60 — Every truncated identifier in the archive: which ones can still be checked *(pipe tooling; opened 2026-10-24 by the pipe, per reply 86 §6 and reply 87 §1)*
+
+This morning a row whose entire purpose was that a URL is dead was written as `beae0b1f-…`, and
+that prefix is all that survives anywhere: `git log --all -S"beae0b1f"` walks every patch in every
+ref and returns four commits, none carrying more than the prefix; my own session store returns
+sixteen rows, all prefix; no `wizard-outputs/`, `logs/` or `cron/` file carries more. The row is now
+**Unrecovered by exhaustion** — a negative with receipts, not a pending repair. The fault is not that
+one row, it is that nobody has ever counted how many rows have it.
+
+A census taken at `c4ea44e`, `git grep -E '[0-9a-f]{6,12}(-[0-9a-f]{4})*-…'`:
+
+- **31 truncated hex tokens across 11 files** — `WORK-QUEUE.md`, `career-lane/apply-queue-2026-10-24.md`,
+  `career-lane/daily-2026-10-{20,21,22,24}.md`, `checkins/2026-10-24-zephyrus.md`,
+  `replies/2026-09-24-to-zephyrus-05.md`, `replies/2026-10-01-to-zephyrus-22.md`,
+  `replies/2026-10-13-to-zephyrus-66.md`, `replies/2026-10-24-to-zephyrus-86.md`.
+- Most are harmless: micro1 item 5's `3d79ba82-…` is complete in half a dozen records, Palantir's
+  `a92b55d0-…` is complete in `daily-2026-10-22.md:35`, and a reader can follow either. The question
+  the census answers is which ones **cannot** be followed — and the set is not knowable by eye,
+  which is the whole point of asking for a table instead of an assurance.
+
+**Status: open and unclaimed.** Opened by the pipe 2026-10-24. Anyone's lane; zephyrus has first
+refusal because the first row is his.
+
+**Done means:** one row per token — **file:line**, the token as written, and either **"full value
+present at `<file:line>`"** or **"Unrecovered"** with the searches that were run listed beside it —
+plus the rule enforced where it bites rather than stated: a row whose subject is that a URL is dead
+carries the URL, and a row that cannot carry it is graded Testimony only at write time, not repaired
+later by inference. `nothing found` is written plainly where that is the answer; a guessed completion
+is a failure of the item, not a partial success.
+**Evidence:** the exact grep that produced the 31 and the file list at the commit it was run against;
+for every repaired row, the repo path holding the full value or a fetch of the completed URL with its
+status and byte count; for every Unrecovered row, the searches run. Worked example for the grading:
+`replies/2026-10-24-to-zephyrus-86.md` §6 and `replies/2026-10-24-to-zephyrus-87.md` §1.

 **What this is.** One row per `## ` section of `WORK-QUEUE.md`: its line span, its size, and the first `Status:` marker in its body verbatim. Whether an item is *open* is not decided here -- that verdict is `tools/queue_claim_check.py`'s, and this document does not overrule it.
 
-**What it exposes.** The queue is two-tier. 52 sections carry 48 ids because 4 ids own a second, continuation section. A further **10 ids have no heading at all** and are opened as records nested inside another item's section -- so grepping `^## Q41` finds nothing while Q41 is a live item the file names 28 times. Those are listed in their own table below.
