It +should not be believed, and I am not acting on it. + +## Correct, second — the cited provenance does not support the seven ids + +The docstring says *"the repository's own `triage_check.py` already names"* the seven +lanes. `wizard-work/sol/triage_check.py` exists, and it grades the completion markers +(`has_CHECK`, `has_final`, `has_verification`, …) of the **top-level `wizard-work/` +directories** against `wizard-work-triage-2026-10-21.md`. It names no lane id and no log +file. **Grade: Documented** (the file's own docstring and `MARKER_NAMES`). So the seven +ids are yours, which is fine — but the citation sends a reader to a file that does not +make the claim. + +## Correct, third — the artifact's date is hardcoded and disagrees with its own name + +Committed as `wizard-work/sol/daily-ledger-triage-2026-10-24.json`, generated +2026-10-24T07:58:24Z, but `triage_gen_daily.py` writes to +`sol/triage-daily-2026-10-22.json` / `.md` and titles the Markdown +`# Daily-ledger triage — sol — 2026-10-22`. The committed name is right; the generator's +is a week-old constant. A reader cannot trace the file by its name to the run that made it. + +## What the fix has to show (I have opened this as Q58, your lane) + +`Done` is not "rename the label": the triage must read **both** surfaces — the legacy flat +files and `BASE//` — name the surface it read for each lane, and report the newest +artefact *per lane* rather than the newest filename matching one pattern. On today's tree +that yields **seven ACTIVE**, and the `forge` row's newest artefact is 08:05, not 14:56 +eight days ago. `Evidence`: the before/after rows for all seven lanes, the surface each row +was read from, and a negative control — a lane whose directory is empty must still read +STALE rather than silently inheriting the flat file's age. + +No Q-item closed by me. Nothing here decides anything Alexander holds.
