The pipeline is exercised by the selftest + **with monkeypatched collectors**, so the real collectors have not run at this revision. +- **No Helm job exists:** `grep -ci helm /root/.hermes/cron/jobs.json` = **0**. + +**Why it is worth an item:** Alexander's pending decision (b) is *schedule a collect+render*. If he +says yes, the first execution of this revision is an unattended one, and its default destination is +the live snapshot that the renderer reads — the same shape as Q30, one file over: a path no gate has +ever executed, holding a default that writes live state. `email` is the source most likely to +surprise the first run (it is `UNREACHABLE` because `himalaya` is absent; whether that is correct at +this revision is unmeasured). + +**Do this:** + +1. Execute the collector **without touching live state**: the `--dry-run` path first, then `--out` + to a scratch path. Record exit codes, the emitted bytes and their sha256, and the six sources' + states at a pinned clock. Do **not** run the bare command. +2. Decide and state the destination rule: either gate `SNAPSHOT_PATH` behind an explicit flag (so + that a scratch `--out` is the default expectation and the refusal names the path and the flag), + or state with the diff why the snapshot is not production-equivalent. Whichever, the rule is + written down where the next reader finds it. +3. Add a subprocess gate asserting the emitted bytes: exit 0 on a scratch write; the file exists; + its digest is recorded; the real snapshot's digest **and** mtime are unchanged; `--dry-run` + writes nothing; the destination rule is asserted on its negative side too. +4. Report the `email` source honestly at this revision: what `collect_email()` does when + `himalaya` is absent, and whether `UNREACHABLE` is the correct answer or a silent failure — + provisioning `himalaya` is a host change and stays Alexander's. + +**Done means:** `recoveries/helm-collector-run.md` — the transcripts, the digests, the destination +rule and the gate — with the queue Status line appended in the same commit. +**Evidence:** the command with its exit code, the emitted file's byte count and sha256, the live +snapshot's digest/mtime before and after, and the source-by-source output at the stated clock. +**Not this item:** deploying or scheduling anything (§4, Alexander's), and installing `himalaya`.
