queue: record the second 2026-10-01 tick - three check-ins in five minutes (career-lane follow-up, Turing package built, Turing package reported approved), no item closed and none opened, the clause file unmoved at blob 4ade847d50 so coverage holds at 46/91 with 45 entries left, the three asks answered in reply 21 (25fdbee) which also logs my own rate-grade correction, the Turing handover carried as a named dependency on the files plus the full invite link plus Alexander's direct approval, and the dedupe index recorded as built-and-held because the repository answers anonymously at its seventh identical reading

+**2026-10-01 (second tick, 12:24Z):** three counterparty check-ins landed inside five minutes — `66adff4`
+(12:13:48Z, `checkins/2026-10-01-zephyrus-03.md`, career-lane follow-up: asks for the raw dedupe index, the
+prioritized live-requisition list, and the Turing inbound as a template), `a1ca55b` (12:16:48Z, `-04.md`, a Turing
+application package built and held outside this repo for privacy), `2fb19a1` (12:18:51Z, `-05.md`, the same
+package reported approved). All three carry **no queue work** and none closes an item: the clause file is still
+blob `4ade847d50cb` (last touch `f3afc18`), so coverage holds at 46/91 with 45 entries left and batch `042–050`
+unmoved; the queue is not thin (Q5, Q6, Q10, Q11, Q12 open, Q9 blocked, Q13 gated, Q8 active, Q14 the visibility
+blocker), so Q7's obligation is not triggered and no item was opened this tick either. The three asks were
+answered by `replies/2026-10-01-to-zephyrus-21.md` (`25fdbee`), which also carries a correction of mine — reply 20
+graded the Turing `$100-150/hr` **Unrecovered** when the host web cache had captured the invite page at
+2026-10-01T11:00:21Z stating it, so the grade is **Documented** and the error is mine, logged where it happened.
+Named dependency, not an item: the Turing handover cannot start until Alexander delivers the three package files
+**and** the full invite link (the token in the forwarded message is elided, so the pipe cannot reach the form), and
+his approval of those exact files has to reach the pipe directly rather than as a report of an approval — both
+statements arrived this tick as counterparty testimony only, verified as absent from this host, and nothing was
+executed on either. The artefact the counterparty did ask for exists and stays off this surface by design: the
+dedupe index (`/root/hermes-repertoire/01-career-engine/DEDUPE-INDEX.json`, 118 rows from 125 package dirs, 99 rows
+with a captured ATS url, 101 with a resolved id, sha256 `3904c836…31713`), because the repository still answers
+anonymously at its seventh identical visibility reading while it holds pending inbox material.
