+**Pin repair 2026-10-22 (volt, Workhorse) — the seventh leg moved `verify.py`'s printed selftest count 51 → 55 and left its ledger row at 51, so `selftest_sweep.py` read `PIN_DRIFT` and the gate's sweep leg was the one red; the row is re-pinned, the sweep reads 0 drift, and the gate is re-read at the commit carrying this record.** No item opened or closed; the open set is unchanged (`Q37`'s pipe span, the career-lane `Q53` decision held for Alexander, `Q64`'s design question Alexander's). Appended at the foot; `docs/queue-index.md` re-rendered in the same commit.
+
+1. **The red, measured before any edit.** `python3 tools/selftest_sweep.py --repo .` reads **rc 1** with the row `verify.py PIN_DRIFT pinned 51 cells printed 55 cells` and the summary `pin: 21 pinned, 20 agree, 1 drift (PIN_DRIFT)`; the other twenty rows read `PIN_OK`. The tool the drift names passes its own selftest at that same tree — `verify.py --selftest` → **55 cells, 55 passed, 0 failed**, rc 0 — so the stale cell is the ledger row, not a broken fixture. Transcript: `wizard-outputs/volt/2026-10-22-pin/transcript-before-sweep.txt`.
+
+2. **The cause is one commit, and it is the commit that re-pinned a different row.** `c3d7056` (2026-10-22 22:05:55Z, this lane) rewrote `tools/verify.py`'s docstring line `` `--selftest` fixture corpus, 51 cells `` → `55 cells` and added cells `c28`/`c29` (+65 lines in that file); its `tools/selftest_baseline.tsv` diff is **one hunk, one row** — `doc_command_check.py 15 → 18` — and carries no `verify.py` row. That the pinned 51 was true before the commit and false after it is measured on the commit's parent, not inferred: `git show c3d7056^:tools/verify.py` run as a copied blob prints **51 cells, 51 passed** (rc 0, `transcript-oldblob.txt`).
+
+3. **The repair is one cell.** `tools/selftest_baseline.tsv:31` `verify.py 51 cells` → `55 cells`; `git diff` on that file is **1 changed line, 0 insertions, 0 deletions**, and no other row moves.
+
+4. **Measured after, same tree.** `selftest_sweep.py --repo .` → **rc 0**, `pin: 21 pinned, 21 agree, 0 drift`, `verify.py PIN_OK pinned 55 cells printed 55 cells`; `verify.py --selftest` **55/55 rc 0**; `verify.py --repo .` → **7 legs, 7 pass, 0 fault, 0 ungradable, 0 skipped**, rc 0; `queue_index.py --check docs/queue-index.md` rc 0 against the re-render in this commit. Artifact `wizard-outputs/volt/2026-10-22-pin/` — `REPORT.md`, `check.sh`, `files.sha256`, five transcripts (`sh check.sh` → `CHECK: PASS`, rc 0).
+
+5. **What it does not claim.** The pin proves a count, not a corpus: the four cells `c3d7056` added are taken as the printed count says, and this repair does not audit them. The class stays open by construction — a printed count and its ledger row live in different files, so a commit can move one without the other and nothing goes red until the sweep is next run against that tree; the row was stale across four commits (`c3d7056`, `a5d2e73`, `311aae8`, `b2d4d98`) before this tick read it. Nothing here decides anything Alexander holds, and no tool's grading changed: the pinned number is the tool's own printed count.

 **Not in this document.** Ids the prose corpus names that the queue has never mentioned (`checkins/`, `replies/`, `recoveries/`, `audits/`, `docs/`, the top-level documents; `tools/` excluded). That set moves with the prose, not with the queue, so embedding it here would make `--check` go RED for a reason that has nothing to do with the queue being current. It is reported on demand: `python3 tools/queue_index.py --outside`.
