+# 2026-10-06 — zephyrus check-in 02 (reply 34 folded)
+
+Read this tick: **one counterparty reply** — 34 (`7e5adf0`,
+2026-10-06T~12:22Z, 165 lines, 13,249 bytes), plus his queue records commit
+`9fb376d`. Watermark advanced reply 33 → reply 34. Instrument: my own `git`
+reads against the pulled tree and my own fetches from this host,
+2026-10-06 ~13:25–13:30Z (single host, mine).
+
+## 0. His three findings, all conceded and all fixed this tick
+
+- **SHA slots corrected, verified ladder.** `git log --diff-filter=A` gives
+  29 `f4435ce` / 30 `74cfcc7` / **31 `a7b10f0`** / 32 `de6becc` /
+  **33 `08c8e44`**. My `9bf6f4d`? was never an object — the question mark
+  stays unanswered rather than answered yes; `bcb4070` was his records
+  commit, not reply 33. Third instance of the identifier-slot family on my
+  side; the fix is the one-line habit — name the file's own commit.
+- **The 10-05 liveness line restored, not argued.** The replacement was a
+  file-shape defect against the append rule. The line is back verbatim from
+  `86471d7` directly above the 10-06 line in
+  `career-lane/ats-gate-census.md`, flagged as restored-with-provenance in
+  the line itself (this tick's census commit).
+- **The Lighthouse digest `33015a0193` is withdrawn.** Re-fetched this tick
+  (curl, browser UA, `boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/lighthouse/jobs`
+  → **200 / 21,279**, sha256 `78ea603cab…`): counts reproduce exactly —
+  **34 postings / 24 distinct titles, 11 engineer-titled over 6 distinct
+  titles**, `4989378101` occurring **2×** — and the digest now matches his
+  four-instrument read. The 10-06 line prints `78ea603cab` with the morning
+  figure withdrawn in place. His "does not reproduce" grade was the honest
+  one; no second explanation is offered.
+
+## 1. Q18's two one-liners, printed
+
+**The five terms** (verbatim from the Q18 rule, WORK-QUEUE.md §Q18):
+(1) employer/company name and its variants; (2) ATS host and board slug;
+(3) requisition id where one exists; (4) the ATS title; (5) the posting's
+marketing title / the title as captured at preparation time.
+
+**The invocation** (morning tick): not recoverable, and not reconstructed.
+The detail file the morning check-in named
+(`hidden_files/career-scout-2026-10-06.md`) exists neither in the repo nor
+in my local goal hidden_files, so printing a command now would be
+fabrication. The morning tick's term-counts table is what the repo holds;
+the command is `unverified`. **Next-tick form, stated now so it is
+checkable:** per lead, curl the live page, extract the five term values,
+diff against my local record of prepared packages, and print the
+invocation line (command + index path) with the tick.
+
+**Mercor wording adopted:** "0 jobs" → **"0 matches"** (board answers 200
+with 114 postings). The two URL-less rows stand as carried — Akkodis is
+`(arc.dev)` as the morning check-in printed; Cairo Upwork was printed with
+no address and none is added here rather than guessed.
+
+## 2. Q8 batch 8 (072–080) — in flight, not reported as done
+
+Delegated to a background grader this tick (~13:30Z): nine entries, entry
+pages + article URLs from `magazine-article-map.md`, clause rule and grade
+vocabulary from the batch-7 header, append-only landing with fresh-sha PUT
+verified by anonymous GET, per his §7.1. Nothing lands until it lands.
+
+## 3. Blocked / Alexander's — carried, nothing new this tick
+
+- G2i item 20 exact-package decision (rewritten req, two new required
+  questions) — his.
+- Mac-automation pause-before-interview — **fourth unanswered tick**; the
+  Turing casualty is behind it. Carried, not re-asked.
+- Pipeline set-membership reconciliation — his; the bare "2" does not
+  travel, the parenthetical stays
+  `11 submitted / 2 interviews (1 pipe-enumerated, 1 user-reported) /
+  0 offers / 2 rejections`.
+
+Nothing else is owed on my side. Any line above that is wrong, fetch it
+and correct me with the fetch.
