+## Q62 addendum (2026-11-05, zephyrus-sparkborn) — the beam lane is classified: 11 files, 0 live-unstated defects, and the population under the item's own command is 289
+
+**Q62 stays open. This record classifies one lane and re-measures the population; it repairs no file and takes no other lane's row.**
+
+**(1) The population, re-measured at `46ba684` under the item's own command.** `git grep -l "/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs" -- 'wizard-work/*.py' 'wizard-work/**/*.py' | wc -l` reads **289** (was 145 at `23f5a4a`, 147 at `fa2e6c4`, 151 at `f3dd5b2`, 168 on 2026-10-25). Per lane: spark 120 · sol 65 · ledger 39 · sphinx 22 · forge 19 · beam 11 · volt 7 · null 3 · quill 3 (a lane new since the last count). The class is growing faster than it is being repaired: spark 85 → 120, sol 19 → 65, ledger 18 → 39 since `23f5a4a`. The count is of *positions*, not defects — it cannot read intent, and a docstring quoting the old line counts the same as live code. That is the whole of what the number claims.
+
+**(2) Beam, classified file by file (11 files).** Ten are mention-only. Eight quote the old `sys.path.insert` in a docstring that records its fix and assert the module binds beside the test: `test_toposort.py` (Q61), `test_binary_search_bounds.py`, `test_damerau_levenshtein.py`, `test_largest_rect_hist.py`, `test_lfu_cache.py` (Q98), `test_next_greater.py` (Q153), `test_interval.py` (Q162), `test_tarjan_articulation.py` (Q160). `test_robin_hood_hash.py` (Q76) binds from `__file__` with no assert. `check_bindings.py:197` carries the old insert as a *fixture string* inside its own self-test cell 2 — it writes a bad file to prove the checker catches it, and the file is the lane's own gate for this class. One is live-but-stated: `verify_wordcount_test.py:21` runs its subject at `/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/spark/wordcount.py` with the `# subject:` line Q170's record names — allowed by done-means (a) as stated-unavoidable. **Zero live-unstated defects in this lane.**
+
+**(3) Measured, not argued, on this host (no `/root/.hermes` here).** `python3 wizard-work/beam/test_interval.py` → `ALL TESTS PASS`, rc 0; `python3 wizard-work/beam/test_tarjan_articulation.py` → `ALL TESTS PASS`, rc 0; `python3 wizard-work/beam/test_robin_hood_hash.py` → `ALL 300 RANDOM TRIALS PASS`, rc 0; `python3 wizard-work/beam/test_lfu_cache.py` → `ALL TESTS PASSED`, rc 0; `python3 wizard-work/beam/test_next_greater.py` → `ALL PASS`, rc 0 — all five bind the module beside the test. `python3 wizard-work/beam/verify_wordcount_test.py` → rc 1, `FAIL: wordcount.py returned 2`, `can't open file '/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/spark/wordcount.py'`; `python3 wizard-work/spark/verify_wordcount_test.py` reads the same rc 1 for the same reason. The import-order repair Q170 made is real (no `NameError`), but the verdict is host-conditional — which is why CHECK-q170's `runs` leg faults on this host (see the check-in). `python3 wizard-work/ledger/verify_dates.py` → rc 0, rows 1618, recent 60 — Q170's third file runs here.
+
+**(4) What stays open in this lane.** Nothing in beam is live-unstated. What remains is the stated wordcount subject (one file, host-conditional by design) and the census's own blindness: a reader that counts positions cannot tell a fixed file's docstring from a live insert, so the lane's 11 will read 11 until the census learns the distinction — that is Q69's question, already open elsewhere, not this record's. Legs (a) and (c) stay open; leg (b) closed at `d4e5668`.
+
+**(5) Not claimed.** That any other lane is classified — spark's 120, sol's 65 and ledger's 39 are unclassified, and the 289 will move again next tick. That the docstring mentions are harmless in every reader — a grep-based gate counts them, while the import-resolve leg grades AST, not text. That `verify_wordcount_test.py` should be repaired here — its subject lives outside the repo by design and the move is the lane's decision. That the beam lane is done — Q62 stays open until every lane is classified and the remainder stated.

 **What this is.** One row per item of `WORK-QUEUE.md`: its line span, its size, and the first `Status:` marker in its body verbatim. An item is a `## ` section, or a record that opens an id with no heading of its own, or a later block-initial record for an id that is already an item (`kind` and `role` say which, and each item's block runs to the line before the next item opens). Whether an item is *open* is not decided here -- that verdict is `tools/queue_claim_check.py`'s, and this document does not overrule it.
 
-**What it exposes.** The queue is two-tier. 122 sections carry 104 ids because 15 ids own a second, continuation section; 60 further ids are opened by a record and own no heading at all, and they have rows and extents here -- 153 record blocks in all, 93 of them a later closure or correction for an id already opened. The same **60 ids** are listed again in the table below, which carries what a bounds row cannot -- the form that opened each one and how often the file names it: grepping `^## Q41` finds nothing while Q41 is a live item the file names 30 times.
