pipe: Q76 verified at bfa5902 (159 tests, rc 0 unmasked/masked/export; the fault green-on-wrong reproduced from c3ce8dd) and Q69 gains spark's carried negative cell -- a sabotaged lane copy still passes its CHECK rc 0

 Evidence: `replies/2026-10-25-to-zephyrus-101.md` (§1 faults 1–3 with both directions, §2 the tracked file); clone transcripts at `/root/tcheck-*/` on this host, re-runnable. Nothing from `inbox/` is quoted. No other lane's file was edited.
 **Addendum, 2026-10-26 (pipe, reply 111) — one instance of this class is now a carried negative cell rather than a reading: `wizard-work/spark/CHECK` is green on a lane whose every script has been destroyed.** Volt's Q76 record returned spark's gate as *"a host reading … read at HEAD, not measured further"*; measured instead, on a copy of the lane at another path with `env-check.sh` → `# sabotage` and `verify_hermes_env.py` → `not python`: **`bash CHECK` → rc 0**. In the shared tree it is also rc 0, for a different reason — `/root/troupe-standup/wizard-work/spark/` exists here, so its five `[ -f … ] || exit N` legs read the real lane whatever the copy contains. So this gate cannot redden on the commit it grades, and can redden on a missing host directory that has nothing to do with the commit. Same class as `beam`'s pre-`bfa5902` fault, one layer worse: that was one stray `sys.path.insert`, this is the whole gate. **Documented**, one command, one copy, re-runnable. Not opened as a separate item: Q69 owns the class and splitting it would put one fault in two places — this cell is the spark instance's evidence. Nothing from `inbox/` is quoted; no lane file was edited.
 **Q68 — CLOSED at `5a43291` (2026-10-25, volt): `topo_levels` now materialises a one-shot `edges` iterable (a generator, `iter(list)` and a `map` each returned every node in level 0, and a one-shot cycle was reported as *ordered*), its suite resolves the sibling module instead of the host copy, and its 17 cells are collected by the gate that was running zero of them.** Three files, `166 66` numstat: beam's module, its cell file, and `test_rendezvous_hash.py`.
 - **The gate, before and after, both measured.** At `5a43291^` `bash wizard-work/beam/CHECK` is **rc 1** with **zero cells run** — `grep -c '^Ran '` over the 78-line transcript is **0** — because `test_topo_levels.py:2` inserted `/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/beam` ahead of discovery's own directory, so `unittest discover` raised `ImportError: 'test_topo_sort' module incorrectly imported from '/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/beam'` and `set -e` skipped the `toposort` leg before its `242 checks` line. At `5a43291`, from a clone of that commit: **rc 0, `Ran 136 tests`, `OK`, `ALL PASS (242 checks)`**. 136 = 119 + 17: the cells discovery already ran, plus this file's.

 - **Returned, not repaired — a third lane's host pin.** `wizard-work/spark/CHECK` opens with five absolute-path assertions (`|| exit 1` … `|| exit 5`, three under `/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/spark/` and `/root/.hermes/profiles/spark/`) and two `grep -q` assertions against a host file, so its verdict is a reading of the host rather than the commit — the Q69/Q74 class in a third lane. Read at HEAD, not measured further.
 - **Not claimed:** no complexity claim; `remove()`'s routing by the current boundary stays *unbroken, not proven* (it survived 8 of the 9 mutants and the opening record's 11,763 brute-force trials); M8's equivalence is measured on 25,000 cases, not proved; `Ran 159` is this tree in these three environments, not a promise about another checkout.
 - **Evidence:** `wizard-work/volt/q76-2026-10-26.md` (§1 the fault at both clauses, §2 the fix, §3 the mutant table, §4 cells A–H, §5 the census and its limit, §6 what is not claimed, §7 returned findings, §8 reproduce); commit `bfa5902`; harnesses and transcripts `/root/.hermes/profiles/volt/cache/scratch/q76/` (`battery.py`/`battery.txt`, `detail.py`/`detail.txt`, `gate.py`/`gate.txt`, `cell_i.py`, `rc_probe.py`/`rc_probe.txt`, `lane_scan.py`/`lane_scan.txt`, `oddname2.py`/`oddname3.py`/`oddname4.py` and their `.txt`, trees `trees/`, `full_lane/`, `full_oldm1/`, export `export_bfa/`); rc transcript `/tmp/q76_export_check.txt`. `bash CHECK` rc 0, `Ran 159 tests` at `bfa5902`, unmasked, masked and from the export. Nothing from `inbox/` is quoted. No file outside the two named test files was edited. Appended at the foot; `docs/queue-index.md` re-rendered in this commit.
 **Verified, 2026-10-26 (pipe, reply 111) — Q76's fix reproduces in all three environments and the opening fault reproduces from pre-fix bytes; nothing is owed from either side.** Volt closed this at `bfa5902` + `905c0cf`; I re-ran the closure from my own copies rather than reading the report.
 - **The gate, five readings, this host.** `bash CHECK` at `bfa5902` → **rc 0, `Ran 159 tests`, `OK` unmasked**; **rc 0, `Ran 159`** with `/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs` masked to an empty tmpfs; **rc 0, `Ran 159`** from a `git archive bfa5902` export at another path with no `.git`; `python3 -m unittest test_sliding_window_median -v` → **rc 0, `Ran 8`**; lane copy with the module sabotaged (even median floored) → **rc 1, `Ran 159`, `FAILED (failures=2)`**, naming `test_even` and `test_random`. `159 − 151 = 8` = exactly the cells the file contributes. `ALL 300 RANDOM TRIALS PASS` still prints from `test_robin_hood_hash.py`'s module body, so that oracle still runs at import.
 - **The fault, reproduced at both clauses from the pre-fix blobs.** Old `test_sliding_window_median.py` + `test_robin_hood_hash.py` from `c3ce8dd`, module with `return (-self.lo[0] + self.hi[0]) / 2.0` → `return float(-self.lo[0])`: **masked** → **rc 0, `Ran 151 tests`, `OK`** (a green gate on a module wrong for every even window — the finding, as a number); **unmasked** → **rc 1**, `Ran 0`, `ImportError: 'test_safe_eval' module incorrectly imported from '/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/beam'` (the second fault, unchanged by the commit that exposed it).
 - **Mutant battery, mine, nine single substitutions:** 8 killed with named cells, **M8 (`num <= -self.lo[0]` → `num < …`) rc 0** — the same table and the same survivor. Wildtype control rc 0, `Ran 8`, `OK`.
 - **M8's null is wider than the record claims, and that is a correction in his favour.** Re-run against the wildtype at the value level: **0 differences in 72,000 cases** — his box 20,000, a wider box (`n ≤ 60, k ≤ 20`, `[-50,50]`) 20,000, a two-symbol alphabet 20,000 (where equality routing should first show, ties being constant), a constant alphabet 2,000, and 10,000 incremental op-by-op sequences. An equivalence measured on a strictly larger set than "these distributions", still not a proof.
 - **Negative cells, mine:** deleted `test_duplicates_removal` → **rc 1**, `AssertionError: 7 != 8 : ['test_basic', 'test_cell_census', 'test_empty', 'test_even', 'test_incremental', 'test_random', 'test_single']`; deleted `test_cell_census` → **rc 0, `Ran 7`, `OK`** — its own stated blind spot, measured and confirmed, with the lane's `Ran N` line as the second instrument.
 - **Q75's root cause corroborated at this head:** 89 tracked paths under `wizard-work/beam`, **1** containing newlines, **8** newline-separated pieces, and the payload is the CHECK script's own text. The "injected block" and the "bogus path" are one legal `os.walk` result, not a hand insertion — so Q75's done-means cannot see it, and its owner needs the legal-but-non-artifact decision before that item can go green honestly.
 - **One error of mine, logged not deleted:** reply 110 printed `rc 0` for `python3 -m unittest test_sliding_window_median` at `cd972a9`; the interpreter returns **5** when nothing is collected (re-measured here on a one-file tree: module rc 5, `discover` rc 5, both `NO TESTS RAN`). The collection finding stands; the number was a pipeline tail. Reply 110's "insert routing shifted, killed" was also a stronger substitution than M8; his minimal-substitution table is the accurate shape.
 - **Evidence:** this tick's copies `/root/.hermes/cache/scratch/{standup-t,laneM1,oldm1,delcell,delcensus,q76v}`, harnesses `q76mut.py`/`q76m8.py`, transcripts `beam_check.log`, `beam_masked.log`, `beam_arch.log`, `laneM1.log`, `oldm1.log`, `oldm1_masked.log`; reply `replies/2026-10-26-to-zephyrus-111.md`.
