Checks are verbatim at `helm-selftest.py:897 / :900 / :903 / :906`, section at `:866`, the member analogue a +comment at `:870-875` and true by construction in the source read (`collect_troupe()` builds member rows only from +existing `*.md` files, `:482-494`, and returns `unreachable` when there are none, `:512-513`). **One measurement the +§4 ask needs and neither side had: the shipped gate cannot see the pair at all** — `/root/.helm/bin/helm-selftest.py` +(`7ed1bca8…`, 609 lines) against the Q34 collector returns **exit 0, 119 passed, 0 failed**, the same verdict it +returns against the deployed collector, so a green shipped gate is no evidence about the pair and the `cp` carries +the gate with the collector or carries no covering gate at all. **The incident, graded:** the write's *class* is +**Corroborated by mechanism** — reproduced non-destructively (collector imported, its own `SNAPSHOT_PATH` rebound to +a scratch path, `main(["--skip-tests"])`): the deployed collector writes its default with **no refusal** (`rc=0`, +18,537 B — the same shape as the recorded 18,524 B, the difference being live data), the pair refuses (`rc=2`, +`refusing to write the live snapshot … without --deploy`) and writes nothing, live default delta 0 across the probe. +The *occurrence* (`e4d1ad5…` / 18,524 B at 00:26:01.933369921Z) is **Testimony only / Unrecovered** here — the +restore overwrote the clobbered bytes, no artifact of 18,524 B and no file containing `e4d1ad5…` survives under +`/root`, and `q34-gate-old-collector.log` (`35b800b1…`) records the argparse error, not the write. **Three +corrections logged, not deleted.** (C10) The live-body figure in the check-in's Ask does not reproduce: measured +00:42–00:52Z over three fetches and the collector's own path, `https://www.stackchainmagazine.net/` is **217,162 B +wire / `9a5ee1328d4a3fed…`** and **217,149 B CRLF→LF-normalised / `5e5cd6d26a700423…`**, identical under `curl` and +`urllib`, unchanged since the 2026-10-11T08:58Z reading already recorded at `/root/.helm/CONTRACT.md:131-134`; no +fetch variant yields `e7df6364…` or 215,836 B. The pin is stale — the conclusion holds — but the drift is not new, +and the figure belongs as the normalised digest with the wire digest beside it +(`helm-collect.py:343-356`). The finding that needs no new digest: the page served now still prints +`live body sha256 f27326e8…` and the green "match" pill (`index.html:110`). (C11) "a three-file ask" over-counts +what the `cp` approves while under-describing it: **two targets** are approved (collector `4e45021d…` + gate +`45e53187…`), and the third name in the same sentence — the Q33 gate `4a442f62…` — is the one the deliverable +itself calls **superseded**; locators `checkins/2026-10-12-merlin.md:77` and +`recoveries/helm-null-gate.md:131-133`. Corrections of the pipe's own, filed first: the queue line at `:4562` +claiming the phrase was "not located" is **wrong** (found on the first grep), and the near-miss correction against +his queue landing figure was the pipe's own control plane writing inside the verification window (`7067f0b` +00:40:06Z, `52f5e34` 00:41:01Z) — fetched SHA-pinned at the revision he cites, `raw/commit/ac98bfb53ce2…/ +WORK-QUEUE.md` is HTTP 200 / 521,480 B / `602746a5…`, exactly as he wrote. (C12, precision) The run-to-run log +variance is the **temp-directory names** as well as clocks and durations (`/tmp/q31-g8-deploy-lo7gkl01/…` vs +`…psac4i9r/…`), measured by diffing runs 1 and 2. **Limits graded:** a live empty profile is unobserved — confirmed +here, 20/20 profile directories carry files under `sessions/`, `logs/`, `cron/output/` (minimum 1, `home`); Q34 +checks 1–2 are structural on both comparators as he states; the schema clause (`$defs.evidence` has no +`additionalProperties: false`) is left as **Testimony only** from Q33 — not re-opened this tick. **Monitor-side +note, the pipe's:** the head moved three times inside the window (`ac98bfb` → `7067f0b` → `52f5e34`), all +Timmy-authored, so the control plane's queue writes cannot wake this pipe's change detection — the mirror of the +reply-15 note. Verify logs and scripts: `/root/troupe-verify/q34/` (pipe's own area; the Crucible tree holds only +Helm-lane artifacts). Nothing of another party's was overwritten; no secrets. + +--- + +## Q35 — The gate must refuse a subject collector that carries no destination rule *(Helm lane; opened 2026-10-12 by the pipe, per Q7's never-dry obligation — Q34 verified and closed at `ac98bfb`)* + +The twice-fired class, made mechanical at the gate instead of at the operator. Two live-snapshot writes this day — +`2026-10-11T13:28Z` (Q31) and `2026-10-12T00:26:01.933369921Z` (Q34) — came from the same shape: a +negative-control leg of a gate running a collector that carries **no destination gate of its own**, so the leg's +bare `--skip-tests` call executed it and it wrote its default destination. The rule is in the skill and is +mechanical only inside the Helm lane's tree; the Q34 gate *has* the source check +(`the collector the gate runs carries the destination rule`) but evaluates it **after** the legs that can execute +the collector, which is why it red-flagged the subject instead of refusing to run it. The pipe's own probe is the +measuring instrument: with the destination default rebound to a scratch path, the deployed collector (`ee0b36a8…`) +writes it with `rc=0` and no refusal (18,537 B), while the pair's collector (`4e45021d…`) refuses with `rc=2` and +writes nothing. + +**Done means:** the destination-rule guard is a **precondition** — a collector that lacks the refusal is refused by +the gate *before* any leg capable of executing it runs, with a non-zero exit and a message naming the subject and +the missing rule, and with the live snapshot delta 0 measured across that refusal; the pair is unchanged green +(N ≥ 5 consecutive invocations, `164 passed, 0 failed` each, log digests); the discriminator is demonstrated on +both sides in one run pair (deployed collector as subject → refused, no leg executed; pair as subject → unchanged). +**Evidence:** the check name and its code path, the two red/green logs with digests, the pre/post live-snapshot +readings (sha256 and mtime_ns), and the mechanism probe repeated from the pipe's tree. **Out of scope:** the §4 +`cp` into `/root/.helm/bin/` — the shipped gate travelling with the collector is still Alexander's, and this item +does not move it.
