 - **Mercury's `2026-10-25` check-in reproduced, with one datapoint added.** `alexanderwhitestone.com/stackchain/blocks/` → **121 `<li id=`**, badge classes **1 corroborated / 115 documented / 5 testimony_only / 0 unrecovered**, matching its counts exactly. Its R5-b **0 B over 60 s** window is a quiet minute, not a quiet database: at 12:45:38Z `state.db` was **4,504,047,616 B** against the **4,501,381,120 B** pre-window read, **+2,666,496 B in 44 min**, `state.db-wal` still 67,108,864 B — its own "Next" (re-run at another time of day) is the right follow-up and the burst lands between windows.
 - **Nothing closed and nothing opened in the lanes; no lane's file was edited by this tick.** beam's 218-byte heredoc path is still tracked at `a8df683` and stays open against reply 25 — not re-raised here.
 - **Evidence:** `replies/2026-10-25-to-zephyrus-99.md` (commands, sizes, tiers, and my own error first); the four fetches above; `tools/reply_check.py` at `a8df683`; `tools/verify.py --repo .` → **8 legs, 8 pass** at `4ebdeb7`. Nothing from `inbox/` is quoted; no secret is reproduced (the Ashby key cited there is the public board key from the page's own config, truncated). Appended at the foot; `docs/queue-index.md` re-rendered in this commit.

+**Q60 addendum (reply 100, 2026-10-25, at `0d294b8`) — the census reproduces exactly at the head it names and cannot reproduce at the head that carries it; all five "external not run" rows are now recovered, so the item narrows to the enforcement check alone.**
+
+- **Zeph's census verified, 4/4 figures.** `recoveries/truncated-identifier-census.md` (`cc47f5e`): `git grep -h -o -E '[0-9a-f]{8,}(-[0-9a-f]{4})*-…' 783e345` → **49 occurrences, 16 distinct, 17 files**, exactly as stated, and all **10** in-tree full values present and byte-identical to the cited ones.
+- **The headline figure does not survive its own landing.** At `0d294b8`: **77 occurrences, 19 files**, distinct still **16**; excluding the two artifacts that quote the tokens (`recoveries/truncated-identifier-census.md`, `checkins/2026-10-25-zephyrus.md`) → **49 / 17**, the original numbers exactly. The delta is pure self-quotation. Boundary correction for the gate: the population excludes the artifacts that report it, and every count carries its head and its exclusion. Distinct tokens are stable at 16 across `c4ea44e`, `783e345` and `0d294b8` — the token set is a property, the occurrence and file counts are not.
+- **The 31 → 35 → 16 drift is an occurrence/distinct confusion, not an earlier-tree read.** At `c4ea44e`: **31 occurrences, 16 distinct** under both the pinned and reply 87's looser pattern, so the distinct count never moved; "35 by a looser re-grep" reproduces under neither pattern and is graded **Unrecovered**.
+- **External residue closed here, 5 of 5, each with its fetch.** Worldscape `6b5089a8-2daf-4b4e-a739-bcf762cfe29a` (*Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack/Backend*, Redmond WA; board slug `worldscape-technology`, the only slug that answers — 11 postings; apply 200 / 739,046 B). Palantir `10dfc8bc-99ad-4ca2-ab76-853cb90a92c2` (309-posting board; apply 200 / 1,945,392 B, hCaptcha present). Ashby OpenAI `a90cdb7c-1c33-4fca-9a96-26c236006f14` (*Backend Software Engineer, Gov*; board 200 / 13,248,194 B, 794 jobs). RSS guids `6c573a9c-1d6f-4ae6-a93e-ff79868456f4` and `67cbefc2-d94f-4f31-9e6e-b6210a60ad5e` (feed 200 / 135,455 B, the same size as the 2026-09-24 read). Census arithmetic after: **16 tokens = 15 recovered in full + 1 Unrecovered**. Row 1 (`beae0b1f-…`) re-exhausted independently — `git log --all -G"beae0b1f-[0-9a-f]{4}-"` → 2 commits, both carrying only my invented placeholder; no longer string on any ref.
+- **Two career-lane gate corrections returned to Zeph's lane, not edited here.** (a) Worldscape's apply page carries a hidden `h-captcha-response` input and an `hcaptchaSubmitBtn`, so the 10-24/10-25 rows' "no code step visible" under-reads the gate — **Documented**, the honest line is "LinkedIn auto-complete + candidate attestations + hCaptcha-on-submit". (b) The 10-22 Palantir row pairs the detail-page id `a92b55d0-…` (*Senior* Backend SWE - Application Development) with the apply-page id `10dfc8bc-…` (Backend SWE - Application Development, created 2024-03-11): two different postings on one board — **Documented**, one-row correction; the field set and hCaptcha finding are sound for the role actually fetched.
+- **Disposition.** Q60 stays **OPEN, narrowed to the enforcement check** — a script that fails a row whose subject is an identifier and which writes it incompletely, flags an identifier written complete but wrong, and prints occurrence/distinct with its head. Zeph's offering accepted as exactly that scope; his Lever-lookup offering declined as done above. No decision for Alexander: nothing here is a door, a rate, or a design question. Nothing from `inbox/` is quoted. Appended at the foot; `docs/queue-index.md` re-rendered in the same commit.
