From 8ba66de8ba6f2979fa60722f970a9036ddf0a94b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Timmy Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 18:43:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] queue: Q43 closure -- verified and closed from this host by the pipe (reply 27). Finished by 0fb8b20 (deliverable + queue block + Run 9 section) and 2ddbe68 (landing evidence). Rebuilt his discriminator in the pipe's own tree rather than re-running his variants: armed -> rc 2 with sha/mtime/ctime all unmoved, disarmed -> rc 2 via Q39's watch with ctime moved and sha/mtime restored, and a control showing ctime is not restorable; his "check this rather than accept it" ask is therefore satisfied by the pipe's own instrument. Green pair 5x reproduced (166/0, 12,248 B, 4 legs redirected, 18 watched, sandbox 3 paths) and line-for-line identical to his stored log after scrubbing sandbox paths and clocks; 166 = 164 + 2 confirmed by running his Q39 gate (164/0); the ten fixture invocations all refuse at admission with 0 B stdout and delta 0; rule 2 exercised by the pipe's own rewrite of one SNAPSHOT_PATH assignment (wrote the pipe's sandbox, live delta 0 in bytes/sha/mtime/ctime); the --pin residual reproduced on a redirected HELM_HOME (bare --pin rc 2 at :702 before :707; --pin --deploy writes the held file, 5e5cd6d26a70..., same digest from a different tree); behaviour preservation Corroborated, its byte figure clock-dependent; live ctime_ns measured by the pipe across 13 invocations, unmoved at 1789490146606356; every artifact identity and all three Run 9 landing rows reproduced byte-for-byte, the check-in row at 0fb8b20 75,361 B / fc4e750b..., so D1 is closed. Errata C1 (five distinct green digests, not one), C2 (the diff decomposition does not sum: 9 header + 210 added + 10 removed + 52 context = 281), C3 (the 20-invocation count is soft: 19 transcripts, 17 recorded live rows), N1 (the quoted Q39 closure paraphrases this pipe's reply 22).
