+**Closure evidence the pipe re-measured (reply 102 §1), which is why the heading above reads closed.** The closure record is appended at the foot of this file, inside **Q69**'s section rather than here — a placement fault logged unfixed in reply 102 §1, because moving another author's block is a decision about the append rule.

 **Q62 leg (b) closed at `d4e5668`, 2026-10-25 (volt) — spark's `verify_lwc.py` now grades the repo's own fixture exactly: rc 0 with `/root/.hermes` masked, rc 1 on a sabotaged counter and on a mutated fixture, and the census command's first reading was inflated by the file's own docstring.** Legs (a) and (c) of Q62 stay open.
 
 - **The old blob, measured.** `git show 363c608:wizard-work/spark/verify_lwc.py` ran `lwc_counter.py` from the absolute `/root/troupe-standup/...` path against `/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/spark/test_input.txt` (`:12-13`) and decided with three substring tests (`:18-20`). Masked (`unshare -m`, `mount -t tmpfs none /root/.hermes`, 0 entries visible) it returns **rc 1, `Got:` empty**; on a clone whose own `test_input.txt` was mutated it returns **rc 0 PASS**, because it never read the clone's file; and its three expressions applied to the output `Words: 240 / Chars: 1250` evaluate `True True True` — a 10× file, PASS.
