queue: Q24 the Q13 fix pack DONE (Merlin) - 25 clauses / 31 deltas staged unrun, 1 decided + 24 undecided, blast radius 20 of 125 emitted files; the finding is that the ledger build has no anchor mechanism for the prose panels, so every 'anchor it' clause naming a source in body/plain_summary cannot be staged as a link by any blocks.json field; Q25 proposed per Q7 (a prose-anchor convention, implemented in the build tree and left unpublished)

# The Q13 fix pack — every verified live-page fix, staged as one reviewable approval
**Run by Merlin, 2026-10-10, from this host.** Deliverable for queue item **Q24**. Nothing in this run
applied a fix, rebuilt the ledger, published a page, touched a live page, edited another party's file, or
executed anything in `decisions/`. The only writes were to this file and to the staged script.
**Result: 25 clauses — 1 `DECIDED` (with a conflict that blocks publication) and 24
`undecided-for-Alexander`.** Combined blast radius, measured by a real scratch build: **20 of 125 emitted
files** change if all 25 were applied. Every clause is one explicit `old → new` delta against
`/root/stackchain-legends-build/blocks.json`, located by its entry's unique title and scoped to a single
field's own JSON span, so a string shared by `body` and `plain_summary.text` cannot be double-edited.
## 1. The build chain, measured end to end before anything was staged
`blocks.json` is the build source; `build_blocks.py` emits the pages; the live site serves a copy of that
output. All three legs were checked on this run, not assumed:
```
$ sha256sum /root/stackchain-legends-build/blocks.json
63c9cee6103a6824c90c71440fa983d2f5592e380f9c3fb40f7ad366ae41723d blocks.json (278,459 B)
$ sha256sum /root/stackchain-legends-build/build_blocks.py
97fedb5dd5e85d2b10071e8e4904b3a9b1573072149e722fbece93eaf0774672 build_blocks.py (22,256 B)
$ python3 build_blocks.py # run on a scratch COPY at /root/crucible/q24/build/
Built 123 pages from 121 entries (121 cleared, 0 research-only)
$ diff -rq /root/crucible/q24/build/site-ledger /root/stackchain-legends-build/site-ledger
(no output — 125 files each, byte-identical)
```
The build tree's own emitted output is therefore current with its source, which is what makes a
blast-radius measurement on a scratch build meaningful. Then the live pages:
**Every page fetched: HTTP 200 and byte-identical to the freshly emitted file.** That is the 20 entries
this pack touches plus 5 controls (`event-2022-07-18-anthony-enters-at-16-names-the-hill-at-24`,
`magazine-036/038/053/068`) — 25 pages, `cmp`/sha256, 2026-10-10 ~18:5x UTC. The ledger index is unchanged at **200 / 34,488 B / sha256
`4f764ef4dfb9c08b2654ff0783550d20ad1bb7a31cb0c32070974a5fe451557e`** — the same figure every earlier run
today recorded. Full per-page list in `/root/crucible/q24/LIVE-READS.txt`.
So the chain is `blocks.json → build_blocks.py → site-ledger/<slug>/index.html → the live page`, verified
byte-for-byte at all four legs. **Documented.**
## 2. Shared strings, quoted once
`UNC_MAG` — the `uncertainty` value carried by all 91 magazine entries, verbatim:
> `Archive summary of a published article, not the article itself. Quotes are short verbatim excerpts; read the original for full context.`
Three entries have their own `uncertainty` text and are quoted in full in their rows. `magazine-091`'s
is `UNC_MAG`.
## 3. The clause table
Fixed column order, as the item specifies: `entry | live page | panel | current string | proposed string |
authority (artifact + clock) | decided / undecided | staged file`. `\|` inside a cell is an escaped pipe.
| entry | live page | panel | current string | proposed string | authority (artifact + clock) | decided / undecided | staged file |

## 4. Counts
| state | count |
|---|---|
| `DECIDED` (approved, publication blocked by its own decided note) | **1** — `D1` `magazine-091` |
| `undecided-for-Alexander` | **23** |
| `undecided-for-Alexander` (conditional row — enters only if step 5's *named as a source of record* filter is **not** written into Q23's header) | **2** — `H3` `magazine-002`, `H4` `magazine-005` |
| **total clauses** | **25** (31 deltas) |
By remedy shape: 6 `uncertainty-append`, 5 `excerpt-url`, 5 `contributor-anchor`, 4 `direction-word`, 4 `prose-handle-form`, 1 `body-clause`. (`G3` carries an `uncertainty` note alongside its
`contributor.handle` delta, which is why its panel reads *Contributor + Uncertainty*.)
## 5. Reconciliation against `decisions/` — one conflict, and it blocks the one decided clause
`decisions/2026-09-26.md` item 13 (`magazine-091`) is **approved**, `decided_at 2026-09-26T14:51:11.019Z`,
relayed by `2eb50b7`. Its two halves disagree:
- **`proposed_action`:** *"Approve: publish the corrected wording to the live magazine-091 page."*
- **`decided note`:** *"Do we even have authority to fix the publication? Add our note and escalate it to
the author and mag publisher."*
Per the item's own rule the **decided note controls**, so `D1` is staged and **not** published: applying it
would put corrected wording on a live third-party-summarised page while Alexander's note asks for a
courtesy note and an escalation instead. This is the same conflict Q13's record already carries; it is
surfaced here rather than resolved. **This is the one clause in the pack that a decision could release
immediately, and the decision that would release it is the one currently holding it.**
`decisions/2026-10-06-human-gates.md` was read and bears on nothing in this pack (repository visibility,
G2i skip). `decisions/2026-10-07.md` and `2026-10-07-cassian-write-grant.md` are cassian's write grant and
bear on nothing here. **Nothing in `decisions/` was executed.**
The pre-existing staged clause was re-checked, not re-staged: the build tree's
`EDITS/apply_editorial_fix_091.py` in check-only mode still passes against today's `blocks.json`
(`entries: 121`, `note carried by entries: [91]`, body now reads *"Comparing Twenty One, …"*,
`CHECK ONLY — blocks.json not written`). `D1` in this pack is that same delta restated in the pack's own
format, not a second staging.
## 6. The structural finding: the ledger build has no anchor mechanism for the prose panels
`build_blocks.py` emits an `<a href>` in exactly three places — `contributor.handle`
(`render_entry` line 310), `body_source_url` (line 323) and `excerpts[].url` (line 333). `body`,
`plain_summary.text`, `body_provenance` and `uncertainty` are emitted through `esc()` with no anchor
support at all.
**Consequence for this pack:** of the clauses the four closed audits routed here as *"anchor it"*, only the
six `contributor-anchor` rows can be staged as a link. Every name printed inside `body` or
`plain_summary` — `StackchainQuant` on three entries, `AriZonanHODL` on four, `Satskeeper`, the Lightning
address — **cannot be anchored by any `blocks.json` field**. Those are staged in the only form the build
supports today: a dated `uncertainty` append, or a wording change that makes the handle form explicit.
Two things follow, both for Alexander and neither for this run:
1. A prose-anchor convention (a markup token `render_entry` expands into a link) would convert roughly ten
of these clauses from a disclosure into a link. It is a build change, so it is outside this item's scope
and outside a wizard's initiative.
2. `contributor` has **one** `handle` slot. `magazine-035`'s byline names two accounts
(`@BTC_Freeborn and @AnthonyDessauer`); `G1` anchors the first and leaves the second unanchored, and no
`blocks.json` edit can do better without a schema change.
## 7. Rows deliberately NOT in the pack, with the reason
| candidate | source that raised it | why it is not a row |
|---|---|---|
| `magazine-036`, `magazine-038`, `magazine-053`, `magazine-068` — the bare word `Saylor` | Q23's verification correction: rule 3b yields 8 bare-and-unlinked mentions across 6 entries, and names these four | **Over-match.** The token fired only because `https://x.com/saylor/status/1578479561750110208` is an excerpt URL on `event-2022-10-07-gui-s-2079-and-saylor-s-2080`. In the four pages the word is *"Saylor Academy's free Bitcoin for Everyone course"* (`magazine-036`) and *"Michael Saylor and Nayib Bukele"* / *"Michael Saylor"* (`magazine-038`, `053`, `068`) — a person and an organisation named in the narrative, not a citation of the X account. No dead source was missed; the detector cannot tell the two apart. |
| `block-5` — the bare Wayback URL in Provenance prose | Q22/Q23 both graded it `resolve` and both said *no action* | It resolves (200, fetched with `-L`, 0 redirects) and the prose already discloses the capture date. Anchoring it would need the same missing prose mechanism. No defect. |
| the `x.com/i/…` "nine-segment" addition | Q24's own step 5, as first drafted | **Withdrawn by the pipe** in the 2026-10-10 18:13Z addendum: no `<a href>` on any page the index links points at `x.com/i/…`. Adds nothing. |
| `event-2022-07-18-anthony-enters-at-16-names-the-hill-at-24` | fetched as a control | No clause. `StackchainQuant` is not named on it; its named-source state is Q12's `event-2022-08-18` row. |
## 8. Alternative remedy shapes, named but not staged
Each of these is a real, explicit delta on the same entry. They are recorded rather than staged so that
Alexander's choice is between two concrete texts, not between a text and a description.
- **Strike instead of mark, `E1`–`E3`.** Deleting the `StackchainQuant` clause from `body` removes a
substantive claim the entry currently makes (the October account's report of several thousand dollars
raised; `1492` as a notable fork; the ~400-participant / $1.5 million figures). The report survives
through the separately cited Bitcoin Magazine anchor; the attribution does not. Marking keeps both and
discloses the dead warrant.
- **Anchor instead of mark, `F1` `magazine-020` and `F2` `magazine-051`.** Set `contributor.handle` to
`_overflow__` / `humblebitcoiner`. Both handles return **404**, so this gives the reader a link that
opens X's *"User Profile Not Found"* page. Honest about the state, worse than the note.
- **Handle the move rather than only the anchor, `G3` `magazine-039`.** `@captainsiddh` resolves but its own
description reads *"Now at @captainsidd"* and `https://x.com/captainsidd` resolves. Anchoring
`captainsidd` instead of `captainsiddh` would point at the live account; `G3` stages `captainsiddh`
because that is the handle the entry prints, plus a note naming the move. Anchoring `captainsidd`
silently changes what the byline says.
## 9. Staging record
**Staged file:** `docs/q13-fix-pack/apply_fix_pack.py` — 25,361 B, sha256
`2d39df3cdfe466b33e45b19b8741f43b536d93e7ccde90f871e50e5cd6ffd1cd`. One script, 25 clause ids, because 25 near-identical scripts would put 25 copies of the
same scoping logic in front of a reviewer instead of one; the clause table is embedded in the file as
JSON and `--list` prints it.
**Committed unrun.** Every clause was executed in **check mode** during this run — which verifies the
locator, the field span, and that each `old` occurs exactly once inside it — and **not one clause was
applied to the build tree's `blocks.json`**. Check output for all 25 clauses, exit codes included, is in
`/root/crucible/q24/CHECK-RUN.txt`; the scratch applications used to measure blast radius ran against
copies under `/root/crucible/q24/blast/`.
**Before hash (all clauses):** `blocks.json` sha256 `63c9cee6103a6824c90c71440fa983d2f5592e380f9c3fb40f7ad366ae41723d`, 278,459 B, read-only this run.
**Revert command, per clause** (printed by `--apply`; identical shape for all 25):
```
python3 docs/q13-fix-pack/apply_fix_pack.py --apply <id> # forward
# revert: restore blocks.json from a pre-apply backup, or reverse the printed deltas:
# <field>: <new> -> <old>
```
**Guard against an unapproved apply:** a clause marked `undecided-for-Alexander` refuses to apply unless
**both** `--force` and `--decision <artifact path>` are passed, so the approval has to be named on the
command line. `D1` applies on its decision record alone — see §5 for why that is still blocked.
**Blast radius, per clause:** measured by applying the clause to a scratch copy, rebuilding, and diffing
the emitted tree against the pristine one. **25 of 25 clauses change exactly 1 emitted file — the entry's
own `index.html`.** No clause touches `blocks/index.html`, `sitemap.xml` or `ledger.css`. Combined, all
25 clauses change **20 of 125** emitted files (`block-25/88/89/90`, `event-2022-07-18-the-5-invitation-
becomes-a-chain`, `event-2022-08-18…hodlon`, `event-2022-08-28-the-fork-of-1492`,
`event-2022-10-05…charit`, `event-2023-05-00-siggy-reaches-nostr`, `magazine-002/005/020/024/026/035/
039/051/056/070/091`). Per-clause and combined tables: `/root/crucible/q24/BLAST-RADIUS.txt`,
`/root/crucible/q24/BLAST-ALL.txt`.
Spot checks on the applied scratch pages: `block-25` carries the
`a-conversation-with-burnchainers` permalink and no longer carries the bare site root as an anchor, and
reads *"quoted above"*; `magazine-091` no longer contains *"Comparing Strategy"*, contains *"Comparing
Twenty One"*, and carries the correction note; `magazine-039` carries
`href="https://x.com/captainsiddh"` and the move note; `magazine-070` carries
`href="https://x.com/MidyReyes"`.
## 10. Method and limits
- **Every population was re-derived, none copied.** Entry titles are unique across all 121 entries
(checked), which is what makes the title locator safe. The bare site root appears as an excerpt URL
exactly **4** times in the whole file — the four `block-*` rows — so the `A` group is a complete census
of that defect, not a sample.
- **Field-scoped, not region-scoped.** My first verifier searched each entry's whole JSON region and
reported `body` old-strings occurring **2×** on `event-2022-07-18`, because `body` and
`plain_summary.text` share the sentence. Scoping to each field's own span is what makes `H1`'s two
deltas land in two places and nothing else. Logged as a defect of mine, found and fixed before staging.
- **Two defects in the generated script, logged first.** Its first version (a) parsed arguments so that
`--decision`'s value was read as the clause id — every apply failed with the usage message; and (b)
spliced region-relative offsets into the full file text, producing invalid JSON
(`json.decoder.JSONDecodeError`). Both were caught by the blast-radius run, which is the only step that
would have caught them, and both were fixed before any count was published.
- **The proposed new values were validated, not assumed.** `https://www.stackchainmagazine.net` detags to
5,024 characters with `Skinner` **0** times and the quoted passage absent;
`https://www.stackchainmagazine.net/a-conversation-with-burnchainers/` (200 / 155,367 B / sha256
`33af2c4d78c7642db9a935cd9852ac22fffb151b443db3f49b097bc3964d9d8f`) carries `Skinner` **1** time and the
passage **verbatim**. `https://github.com/plebiolira/stackchainsiggy_nostr` returns **301** with
`Location: https://github.com/flav1000/stackchainsiggy_nostr`; the flav1000 URL returns **200 / 279,677
B**. In `/root/crucible/q24/TARGET-READS.txt`.
- **Nothing was re-tested.** No row re-opens a claim Q12/Q21/Q22/Q23 settled; each cites the artifact and
clock that settled it. Where this run fetched a target it was to validate a *proposed new value*, which
the item's own step 2 requires.
- **Dated readings.** Every byte count and sha256 is what this host read at the printed clock. X pages
carry a per-request CSP nonce, and the site root is byte-stable at 215,8xx B but has carried two
digests today; the clock is the evidence, the hash pins this run.
- **Not covered:** whether the proposed wording reads well in the archive's voice (that is an editorial
call), whether any *unverified* entry outside these 25 carries the same defect class, and the 96 entries
this pack does not touch.

"""Q13 fix pack - staged apply script for the 25 verified live-page clauses.
Generated by Merlin, 2026-10-10, from the verified clause table in
docs/q13-fix-pack.md. NOT RUN AS AN APPLY: every clause was exercised in CHECK
mode only during the 2026-10-10 run (see the pack's landing evidence). Nothing in
that run wrote to blocks.json.
Scope, inherited from Q24 and Q13: this script edits the build source
/root/stackchain-legends-build/blocks.json only. It does not rebuild, does not
publish, does not contact a third party, and does not touch decisions/.
python3 apply_fix_pack.py --list
python3 apply_fix_pack.py --check <id> # default: verify, write nothing
python3 apply_fix_pack.py --apply <id> # write blocks.json
A clause marked undecided-for-Alexander refuses to apply unless BOTH --force and
--decision <artifact path> are given, so a staged fix cannot be published without
the approval being named on the command line. The one decided clause (D1,
magazine-091) applies on its decision record alone - but see section 5 of
docs/q13-fix-pack.md: its decided note conflicts with its proposed_action, so
applying D1 publishes a live page Alexander's own note asked to hold.
Fails closed: every delta must resolve exactly once inside its entry's own field
span, otherwise nothing is written. Reverting: reverse the printed deltas, or
restore blocks.json from a backup taken before --apply.
