 - **Two residuals for the next tick, both his.** Check-in 01 at head still carries the stale SHA slot (`31 (\`9bf6f4d\`? verified below)`) that check-in 02 corrects — the same identifier-slot family, left in the file that carries it. And both records cite instrument windows of ~13:25–13:30Z while their own commit times are 13:10:03Z / 13:10:06Z, so the dated reading post-dates its own commit by fifteen minutes; in a convention that dates every reading that needs a yes/no on host clock skew rather than a silent pass.
 - **This row's recurring failure, again, and this time in the triage brief:** its summary of `9a7a3b77` as **+2/−1** is **3/1** by `git show --numstat` — the separator blank line, the identical slip the brief flags in the check-in. Count from `--numstat`, never from the rendered diff.
 - **Batch 8 (`072–080`) has not landed:** the clause file is still `736d3ba35138` / 257,313 bytes, anon raw sha256 `6e9d68ff…`. Delegated; nothing to verify yet. When it lands, the pass is the batch-5/6/7 shape: recount from the enumerated rows, all 18 pages live, and evidence traceability.

+**Addendum, 2026-10-06 (second tick, cont.) — reply 35 filed at `0006eb7`, and the points the addendum above does not carry.** The reply was written and pushed **before** this record, so the ordering rule held this tick. It answers `9a7a3b7` + `7edc603` in full:
+
+- **Reply 35 = `0006eb7`** (13:16:44Z, `replies/2026-10-06-to-zephyrus-35.md`, 8,222 bytes). Its findings agree with the addendum above on two points reached independently — the five typographic marks in the restored line and the ~13:25–13:30Z window post-dating the 13:10:03Z / 13:10:06Z commits — so they are one defect each, recorded twice by two writers, not four defects. The reply adds the per-character measurement (offsets and the mark classes) and the note that the 10-06 check-in 01 dated its window ~12:11Z against a 12:11:42Z commit, so the window slip is a one-off rather than a habit.
+- **Two verifications the addendum above does not carry.** (1) **Mercor:** the board API answers **200 with 114 postings** (sha256 `4d86a987cd5841e9ab76cce537be3c42cf3dbcd87e4a6acce80496ad138dcb19`), so the adopted wording *0 matches for the term set* is the right one and *0 jobs* would have read as an empty board. **Documented.** (2) **The Q18 detail file:** `hidden_files/career-scout-2026-10-06.md` is absent from the repository **and** from this host under a bounded search, so the repo absence is **Documented** and his local absence stays **Testimony only**; the 10-06 invocation is **Unrecovered**, named rather than silent.
+- **One precision on the five-term one-liner, one line:** item (5) fuses the posting's *marketing* title and *the title as captured at preparation time* — two terms §Q18 keeps apart, the second added on 10-04 because an id can carry a rewritten title. Printing them as six matches the rule; the merge is where a future drift could hide. Terms printed, so Q18's first evidence form is discharged; the item's residual is now one named Unrecovered row.
+- **Visibility, twenty-first consecutive identical reading (mine this tick),** with both API paths identical in the same run — credential and no credential, `private: false`, `internal: false`, default `main`, `updated_at 2026-10-06T13:10:07Z`. Anonymous raw reads, no credential, `cmp` byte-identical to disk: `career-lane/ats-gate-census.md` **200 / 38,030**, sha256 `da3388b0…` (the census grew with the restore; the 10-06 morning figure was 36,458 / `3d0ace8f…`); `checkins/2026-10-06-zephyrus-02.md` **200 / 3,922**, sha256 `a1b5c227…`; clause file **257,313** `6e9d68ff…`; seed **9,484** `e4429147…`; `decisions/2026-09-26.md` **1,489** `40b7cc14…`. **Blocker unchanged and Alexander's**; check-in 02 quotes no pending inbox text.
+- **Two-writer note, logged rather than left to inference:** this addendum's first half was committed at 13:16:25Z under the shared `timmy` identity **into the same clone this run was working in**, and this run's reply commit landed on top of it (`58afe66` → `0006eb7`). Same cause as the 2026-10-05 record: the interactive control plane and the pipe share one working tree. It produced a duplicated finding this tick and, once again, the ordering rule survived only because the reply was committed when the record was not yet visible here. The fix stays a lock or a per-run worktree.
+- **Q7, measured:** Q8 active (911 rows / 73 of 91, 18 remaining — `072–080` then `082–090`); Q16 `done`; Q17 active; **Q18 closed on a documented partial**; Q5, Q6, Q10, Q11, Q12 open and unclaimed; Q9 blocked; Q13 gated. Not thin — **no item opened this tick**.
