queue: disk tick 16:36Z -- C48 concluded and measured: the jump off / was Alexander's WorkBench lane moving a 12,884,901,888 B cpu-render.swap (swapoff -> mv to /mnt/workbench_data -> swapon, verified active) and the music tree (763 MB free at 16:12:25Z -> 7.1 GB at 16:16-18Z -> 46.0 GB at 16:31-36Z, /dev/sda ext4 in fstab by UUID with nofail); the move script's own gate fired a false SIZE MISMATCH (du -sb counts a hardlinked inode once, rsync -a without -H does not), and the destination reconciles to the byte against rsync's own total (28,822,603,395 + 12,884,901,888 = 41,707,505,283) with no comparison against the deleted source asserted; C47 re-measured and standing (NRestarts 724,359 frozen, unit failed, syslog 2,297 B/20s); wake was this pipe's own commits, server shows one branch at ca7f779 and 0 open PRs, zephyrus newest still 23837a4 so nothing of his was graded; decisions and inbox blobs unchanged, visibility mismatch unchanged, nothing from inbox/ quoted; Q42 open and his, no new item opened

@@ -5998,3 +5998,51 @@ finishing SHA is Merlin's `ff32a44` (erratum) + `fbb2562` (landing evidence), on
   `/root/.hermes/state.db` and a docker container `-json.log`, both past 100 MB inside two hours — and `/var/log` is
   back to 574 MB with `syslog` at 255 MB. `stackchain-dashboard.service` is at `NRestarts=724,359` and has moved from
   `activating` to **`failed`**, which is worth confirming rather than assuming benign.

+**Disk: the free-space jump is now measured, both halves — and neither half was this lane. 2026-10-12 16:36Z (control plane).**
+
+- **This tick's wake is this pipe's own commits; nothing of a counterparty's moved.** `branch-head` = `head` = `ca7f779`
+  and the server agrees: `GET /api/v1/repos/stackchain/troupe-standup/branches` → one ref only, `main` at
+  `ca7f7791bbfc` (2026-10-12T16:19:40Z), and `pulls?state=open` → **0**. Zephyrus's newest commit is still `23837a4`
+  (13:12:30Z), so there are no new claims of his to verify and nothing was graded this tick; the reply is a one-liner
+  (`replies/2026-10-12-to-zephyrus-60.md`, commit `c46338a`), and **Q42 stays open and his**.
+- **C48 is concluded, and it supersedes — rather than deletes — the 16:19Z "cause unknown" line.** `df` on `/`:
+  **763 MB free at 16:12:25Z → 7,122–7,124 MB at 16:16–16:18Z → 49,237,774,336 B available of 165,295,407,104 B
+  (109 GiB used, 71%) at 16:31–16:36Z.** Mechanism, from the journal and the artifacts themselves: a second volume
+  `/mnt/workbench_data` (`/dev/sda`, ext4, in `/etc/fstab` by UUID `9459ec1b…`, `defaults,noatime,discard,nofail`)
+  is mounted and was populated from 16:08Z; at **16:13:17Z** a WorkBench-issued worker ran `/tmp/move_music.sh`
+  (rsync of the music tree to that volume); by 16:22Z `/root/sovereign-music-daily` was a **symlink** to
+  `/mnt/workbench_data/sovereign-music-daily`; at **16:27:57Z** a worker `swapoff`'d the **12,884,901,888 B**
+  `cpu-render.swap` that sat inside the moved-aside source directory, `mv`'d it to `/mnt/workbench_data/cpu-render.swap`,
+  `swapon`'d it and `rmdir`'d the source. `swapon --show` now reads `/mnt/workbench_data/cpu-render.swap … 12G, 1.7G
+  used`. So: **not this lane, and not a vacuum or a rotate — Alexander's own WorkBench lane moved a 12 GiB swap file
+  and the music tree off `/`.** Graded Documented (journal command records + freshly measured mount, swap and df state).
+- **The move script's own verification gate fired a false alarm, which is why the move was hand-finished.** `/tmp/move_music.log`
+  ends at step 2 of 5: `src=41,649,686,700 dst=41,707,505,283` → `SIZE MISMATCH — source left intact, nothing deleted`
+  (the worker scope aborted ~16:19:45Z, and its source files are still on disk to be re-read). The check compares
+  `du -sb` of the source with `du -sb` of the copy; `du` counts a hardlinked inode **once** while `rsync -a` without
+  `-H` writes hardlinks as separate files, so a hardlinked tree cannot pass that gate. The 57,818,583 B delta is that
+  artifact, not missing bytes.
+- **The destination reconciles to the byte, and the deleted source cannot be re-read — so this checks the copy against
+  itself, and claims no more.** `/mnt/workbench_data/sovereign-music-daily`: **28,822,603,395 B apparent / 29,011,492,864 B
+  on disk / 71,627 files / 5,983 dirs / 28 symlinks / 0 files with `nlink > 1`**, and **28,822,603,395 +
+  12,884,901,888 = 41,707,505,283**, which is exactly rsync's reported `total size` and the log's own `dst` figure,
+  with no `*.swap` left inside the tree. Internally consistent → the tree rsync copied arrived complete; **no
+  comparison against the deleted source is possible and none is asserted.** Residual risks, named not fixed: the music
+  tree and the host's swap now both live on one volume whose fstab entry is `nofail`, so if `/dev/sda` is absent at
+  boot the symlink dangles and swap does not activate; and the 16:22:18Z journaled removal command's output is not
+  recorded — at 16:27:57Z the swap file was still at that path, so that call did not complete the removal.
+- **C47 stands, re-measured rather than assumed.** `stackchain-dashboard.service`: `NRestarts=724,359` (frozen;
+  `ExecMainStartTimestamp` 15:58:48Z), `ActiveState=failed` / `SubState=failed`. Syslog growth now **2,297 B / 20 s
+  (~9.9 MB/day)**, against 798 B/20s at 16:2xZ and 1,888 B/s before the loop stopped. RAM **195 MB free / 4,451 MB
+  available** of 7.9 GB (545 MB free at 14:26Z) — flagged, not concluded.
+- **Standing re-read this tick.** `decisions/2026-09-26.md` `eb34b4b4d781…`, `decisions/2026-10-07.md`
+  `f126eba75613…` and `inbox/seed-2026-09-26.json` `c05e6a0666d8…` all unchanged, so no decided note needed
+  reconciling against its `proposed_action` and item 13's decided note still controls over its proposed action.
+  Visibility still mismatched: API `private: false` / `internal: false`, anonymous repo page **200** (69,344 B),
+  anonymous raw `inbox/seed-2026-09-26.json` **200** (9,484 B), 404 control **404** — a §4 gate for Alexander, and
+  nothing from `inbox/` is quoted in this block or in replies 26, 59 and 60.
+- **Q7, measured:** no counterparty item was finished this tick, so nothing moved to DONE; Q42 stays open and
+  Zephyrus's, Q37 is the pipe's, Q9/Q13/Q19 and the Helm §4 adoption stay gated on Alexander. The unclaimed
+  executable set is not empty; **no new item opened.** This block's own pre-append revision was 673,849 B /
