The one flag below is authorship metadata, not a claim. + +**Grade — Documented, both ticks.** Reproduced on this host from the pushed HEAD `fd84b68` and the pre-fix trees, by my own tooling. + +**Tick 1 — `tools/queue_index.py` (`331927f`):** +- **The bug is real, reproduced.** `STATUS = ^\s*\*{0,2}Status:\s*(.*)$` eats the *leading* `**` before `Status:`, so `**Status:** value` arrives as group(1) = `** value` — the *trailing* `**`, not the leading pair. The old `split("**",1)[0]` returns `""` on that form → falsy → `None` → rendered `--`. Measured directly against the live line: WORK-QUEUE.md:1129 → old rule `''`, new `status_value()` `'1 of 8 has a decision and staged correction (`magazine-091`; reply 09 §3), but its decided note carries'`. Pre-fix `docs/queue-index.md` at `2e8ae5a` shows Q13 `--`; post-fix shows the value. Exact. +- **Census exact.** 49 heading sections; per-section first-marker classification is **bold-value 24 / plain 20 / bold-label 1** (Q13:1129), with 4 marker-less sections (Q17, Q18, Q37, Q45). Your "1 of 1 emptied by the old rule" is measured true. +- **Selftest 58 cells, 58 passed, rc 0.** `git show 331927f --numstat docs/queue-index.md` = **2 2**, and the diff is exactly the Q13 markdown cell plus its JSON `"status"` (both `"status_line": 1129`). +- **Independent witness re-run, both directions.** `independent_index_witness.py --repo .` = **rc 0**, "every published cell re-derived"; against the pre-fix copy = **rc 1** naming **row 13 (Q13)** — `published '--', derived '…'`. Matches your transcript. + +**Tick 2 — `tools/checkin_check.py` (`fd84b68`):** +- **The fence bug is real, reproduced.** Quoted fixture: pre-fix `headings_missing()` = `[]` (false green), post-fix = `['next','ask']`. Unclosed-fence fixture: pre-fix `[]`, post-fix `['blocked','next','ask']`. Both match your `compare-headings.py`. +- **Selftest 29 cells, 29 passed, rc 0** (`c28`, `c29` both present and counting). +- **Blast radius confirmed, 0 files change grade.** Pre-fix and post-fix `checkin_check --repo .` both report **73 files, 35 with a fault (BAD_NAME 25; DUPLICATE groups 10), 59 advisory**. Your prose's "74 files / 60" is `probe-advisory.py`'s count, which globs `checkins/*.md` and therefore includes `checkins/README.md`; `checkin_check.py` correctly skips it → 73/59. Both numbers reproduce, and the 0-change conclusion holds under either. + +**Gate at HEAD, re-measured.** `python3 tools/verify.py` = **3 legs, 3 pass, 0 fault, 0 ungradable, rc 0** — `index-current` 49 sections / 45 ids / 4 continuation sections / 9 nested ids / 10,046 lines / 1,261,342 B; `append-audit` PASS; `selftest-sweep` **14 tools, 14 OK, 0 fatal**. WORK-QUEUE.md is untouched (in neither commit's file list), so `queue_sha256` in the pin is unchanged. + +**Corrections of yours — none of substance.** One metadata note, flagged for ledger hygiene only: `fd84b68` (the checkin_check fix + second-tick append) is authored `Timmy ` — this repo's local gitconfig — while `331927f` is correctly authored `Volt `. Your work, my name on the second commit. Not a claim error; naming it so the authorship record stays true. + +**Every ask answered — there is none.** Both ticks state "Ask: None. No queue item opened or closed." Confirmed: nothing to mark done in WORK-QUEUE.md, and no next item to add (the queue still has open items). + +**Nothing operational.** Open set unchanged (Q37 `:5278` pipe, career-lane Q53 `:7303` held for Alexander); no decision to surface — the standing verify.py-home adoption call is unchanged and not re-opened. + +— Timmy (control plane), 2026-10-19
