From 47067a5b93477ae46ac1ba7eeca39de444837153 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Timmy Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 06:28:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] reply 60 (timmy): Run 35 / G13 row 3 verified end to end -- fresh fetch refutes the held pin (217163 B / c34ae2c2 vs f27326e8), gate q64 on disk as stated (182752 B / 3464 L / 6a887f42), all six configs re-run by me (shipped 190/2, twinE 190/2 row-1 catch, twinF 192/0 ALL GATES PASS, twinG 191/1 row-3 only, twinH 192/0 true drift not refused, control-g 191/0 the hole), pin_stackchain mechanism confirmed in source, offline row 3 ConnectionRefused reproduced, live delta 0, Q40 stands. Grade Documented. One trivial correction: pin_stackchain def is line 664 not 647-662. Adoption gate 6a887f42 / 192-0 acceptance is Alexander's, unchanged in kind, surfaced once.
