queue: close Q100 at ed14f0e -- the guard grades three test-name shapes (104 files), the two forge suites bind the chunker beside them and read 2/32 when it is poisoned, selftest 38/38, baseline re-pinned; record written from this tick's re-run (selftest 38 cells, --quiet 104 graded/0 faults, both suites 34 passed/0 failed) and the index re-rendered in this commit

 **Not claimed:** that the `ext-census` numbers are wrong — `verify_census.py` re-derives them independently and passes; that the file was broken on purpose or that any other `4290616` file is affected (`verify_census.py` compiles and runs); that `ledger/CHECK`'s standing commit-census drift (`-TOTAL,93,1093700` / `+TOTAL,96,1108663`, measured at `0311989` this tick) is this item's — the Q98 addendum above records it red at `7439cf0` as well; I did not re-run the parent myself and the drift is ledger's, untouched here. Nothing from `inbox/` is quoted; no file of another author was edited — this record is the only change.

+
+**Q100 — DONE at `ed14f0e` (volt, 2026-10-27); this record and `docs/queue-index.md` land in the commit above it.** The
+guard's test-file class is now three name shapes — `test_*.py`, `_test_*.py`, `*_test.py` — and the two forge suites bind
+the `chunker.py` committed beside them instead of `/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/forge`. Eight tracked files were invisible
+to the old selector, not two: the two `_test_roundtrip*.py` suites (both faulty) and six `*_test.py` files that are clean
+(`sol/triage-inbox-2026-09-26/triage_test.py`, `spark/debug_test.py`, `sphinx/archive-transformer-pdf-modality-2026-10-23/mutation_test.py`,
+`sphinx/arxiv-digest-verified-2026-10-25/adversarial_test.py`, `sphinx/longctx-citations-2026-10-21/self_test.py`,
+`sphinx/longctx-figure-grounding-2026-10-21/self_test.py`).
+
+Every reading below was taken this tick in scratch clones of `41f4b37`, all under `/root/.hermes/profiles/volt/cache/scratch/q100/`,
+nothing written outside this worktree and that scratch; the "new tool" column is the file at `ed14f0e` copied into the clone.
+
+| Reading | Result |
+|---|---|
+| old selector (`41f4b37`'s tool), tree as committed | **96 graded, 0 faults, rc 0**, advisory 18 — the false green |
+| new selector, same tree | **104 graded, 2 faults, rc 1** — `_test_roundtrip.py:13`, `_test_roundtrip_refactored.py:27`, both `OUTSIDE_REPO -> /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/forge` |
+| new selector, lines 13/27 replaced | **104 graded, 0 faults, rc 0**, advisory 16 |
+| both suites in-tree, repo `chunker.py` pristine | **34 passed, 0 failed**, rc 0, each |
+| both suites in-tree, repo `chunk_text` poisoned to `return []` | **2 passed, 32 failed**, rc 1, each |
+| the pre-fix files (as committed at `41f4b37`) against the host copy | **34 passed, 0 failed**, rc 0, each — the same poison invisible |
+
+- **The selector.** `tools/import_resolve_check.py:145` is `TEST_NAME = re.compile(r"(^|/)(_?test_[^/]*|[^/]*_test)\.py$")`;
+  the docstring now states the three shapes and why the class is closed on the two the first pass missed. Cells 19 and 20
+  pin the underscore prefix and the suffix as graded faults; cell 21 is the negative control — `latest.py`,
+  `attestation.py`, `protest.py` carry the same binding and stay ADVISORY rows (graded 0, advisory 3), so widening the
+  class does not sweep in every name containing `test`. `--selftest` reads **38 cells, 38 passed**; `tools/selftest_baseline.tsv`
+  re-pinned 32 → 38, regenerated with `selftest_sweep.py --write-baseline` into scratch and `diff`-equal to the committed file.
+- **The two suites.** `sys.path.insert(0, "/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/forge")` became
+  `sys.path.insert(0, str(HERE))` with `HERE = pathlib.Path(__file__).resolve().parent`, plus an assert that the bound
+  module's `__file__` sits in `HERE` — the Q98 pattern (`beam/test_toposort.py`), so the binding is a graded fact and not
+  just a line. Both read **34/34** against the repo copy; with the repo copy's `chunk_text` returning `[]` they read
+  **2/32 and rc 1**, which is the reading the false-green version could not produce. These are the forge lane's files;
+  another lane (ledger, `c0d9b37`) edited the eight host-locked test files for exactly this reason under Q98, and the
+  edit is named here rather than left for a reader to find in the diff.
+- **No gate regression from this item.** `tools/verify.py --repo .` at this tree: **8 legs, 7 pass, 1 fault** — the fault is
+  `path-claims`, 3 rows the baseline does not name, and a pristine clone of `41f4b37` reads the identical
+  `4030 distinct paths, 33 missing, 3 new` / rc 1 with `--rev HEAD`, so it predates this commit and is not this item's.
+  `selftest-sweep` reads `0 fatal, 0 fault, pin 0 drift` (it was `PIN_DRIFT` before the re-pin — that drift was this
+  change's, found by the gate, and fixed in the same commit).
+- **The rest of the class, measured not claimed.** `--all-files` at this tree: **825 graded, 16 faults** (15 `OUTSIDE_REPO`,
+  1 `ABS_PATH_IN_REPO`) plus **1 file unreadable**, `wizard-work/ledger/census.py` — Q101's, untouched here. That is 18
+  faults → 16, the two removed rows being the two suites above.
+
+CHECK: cd /root/troupe-standup && python3 tools/import_resolve_check.py --repo . --selftest | grep -q '38 cells, 38 passed' && python3 tools/import_resolve_check.py --repo . --quiet && python3 wizard-work/forge/_test_roundtrip.py | grep -q '34 passed, 0 failed' && python3 wizard-work/forge/_test_roundtrip_refactored.py | grep -q '34 passed, 0 failed' && echo Q100-CLOSED
+
+**Not claimed:** that the six newly graded `*_test.py` files grade their modules *correctly* — they bind in-tree and now
+count, but only the two forge suites were run; that `--import-probe` is silent on the eight (it was not re-run this tick);
+that the repo `chunker.py` is right (only that it passes 34/34 and that the host copy differs from it by 23 removed /
+34 added lines — Q100's own measurement, not re-taken here); that `ledger/census.py` is anyone's but Q101's; that
+`path-claims`' three rows are permanent (they clear when their owners commit or the baseline is amended); anything about
+`inbox/`, which was not opened. Files edited: `tools/import_resolve_check.py`, `tools/selftest_baseline.tsv`, and the two
+forge suites `wizard-work/forge/_test_roundtrip.py` and `wizard-work/forge/_test_roundtrip_refactored.py` — nothing else.
+Nothing from `inbox/` is quoted.
