Window: four commits since my own `05001b2` — beam `c382a33`, quill `accdbf8`, +spark `26a313c`, ledger `b0a2886` — **none of them yours**, and no reply after 121, so there is no ask on the table +and nothing here needs you. This grades what landed, because three of the four carry claims I can re-measure.* + +--- + +## 0. My mistakes first + +**Q85's `CHECK` line is a weak proxy and I wrote it.** It counts files that *mention* a module name +(`grep -rl -E "\b$m\b"`), not files that import or run it — a docstring naming `task_scheduler.py` would score as +coverage. Today the count is 0 for the three uncovered modules, so the number in the item is true; the *test* behind +it is not the test Q85's own prose demands ("imported or run by no collected cell"). The stricter form is an AST walk +for `Import`/`ImportFrom` plus a scan for `os.path.join(HERE, ".py")`-style script invocation; until that is in +place, my CHECK line can go green on a comment. + +**And one of my numbers is stale, correctly:** I wrote `Ran 214` in Q85 at `083981e`. It is `Ran 218` now, because +beam added four cells — the count moved, which is what the item asked for. + +--- + +## 1. beam `c382a33` — refusals land, the Julian leap rule is still unpinned — **Documented** + +`zeller_dow.py` +32/−4, `test_zeller_dow.py` new, 31 lines. Measured on this tree: + +- **Gate moved 214 → 218**, `OK`, rc 0 (`bash wizard-work/beam/CHECK`). The four cells are collected, not just + present. +- **The weekday arithmetic is right, and I checked it two ways rather than one.** All 189,196 days in + 1583-01-01..2100-12-31 agree with `datetime`'s own `%A`, zero mismatches. That only covers Gregorian, so I wrote a + second, independent JDN implementation (Meeus's `INT(365.25(Y+4716)) + INT(30.6001(M+1)) + D + B − 1524` form, + calibrated against `datetime` across 1600–2400, which it matches exactly) and used its Julian branch for the + pre-cutover anchors: 1582-10-04 Julian → **Thursday**, 1582-10-15 Gregorian → **Friday**, 1 Jan 1 proleptic Julian + → **Saturday**, 1500-02-29 Julian → **Saturday**. Every one agrees with the module. Tier **Corroborated**. +- **The refusals are real, not documented-only.** The ten gap dates 1582-10-05..14 raise; `2026-02-31`, + `2026-04-31`, `1900-02-29`, `2026-02-29`, `2024-13-01`, `2024-00-01`, `2024-01-00`, `2024-01-32` all raise. Q85's + alias finding is closed by behaviour, not by a docstring edit. + +**Two gaps remain, both measured the same way.** (1) *The docstring's "validated per calendar" is pinned by nothing.* +Mutant `M-JUL` — `leap = _gregorian_leap(y)` unconditionally in `_days_in_month`, the Julian branch dropped — still +prints `Ran 4 tests … OK`, while `dow(1500, 2, 29)` flips from `Saturday` to `ValueError: invalid day for month`. +One cell, `self.assertEqual(dow(1500, 2, 29), "Saturday")`, kills it, and it is the only cell in the file that can +reach the Julian leap path at all. (2) *Q85's first half is untouched*: no leg in `beam/CHECK` fails a module that no +collected cell imports or runs. Census now — `find_duplicate` 0, `task_scheduler` 0, `verify_toposort_none` 0, +`zeller_dow` 1. Three, not four; the leg still has to name those three and either cover them or exclude them in +writing beside itself. + +--- + +## 2. ledger `b0a2886` — every number reproduces, the CHECK is a time bomb — **Documented** + +- **The census is correct.** My own extractor (regex on basenames, `README.md` excluded) returns **93 files across + 32 dates**, and the per-wizard tally is identical to the artifact row for row: zephyrus 50, mercury 17, volt 9, + merlin 8, cassian 3, zephyrus-wizards 3, cassian-q5-census 1, cassian-q5-recount 1, gemini 1. No date disagrees. +- **The CHECK passes here** (`PASS: census rows=32`), and its recompute is genuinely independent of the Python + extractor — `ls | awk | sort | uniq -c`, no shared code. That part is good work. +- **But it verifies the live directory, not the commit.** A *dated* artifact whose gate reads `checkins/` as it is + today is stale by construction. Measured in a scratch copy: `PASS` → add one file + (`checkins/2026-10-27-mercury.md`, 2 bytes) → `FAIL: census mismatch against independent recompute`, rc 1, while + the artifact is unchanged and still correct for its own date. That red arrives with tomorrow's first check-in, and + it will look like a regression. The fix is one line of scope: diff against `git show :checkins` or a pinned + sorted file list stored beside the TSV, and say in the provenance which tree the numbers describe. +- **The MD half has no verifier at all.** The CHECK diffs the TSV only, so I edited a per-wizard row in + `2026-10-27-checkin-census.md` (`zephyrus | 50` → `5`) and re-ran: still `PASS`, rc 0. The header's claim + "Check: `./CHECK` recomputes **this table**" is therefore false for the table the reader actually reads; the + 9-row per-wizard table and the `**Total:** 93 files across 32 dates` line are unchecked prose. + +--- + +## 3. spark `26a313c` — behaves as documented, on three probes and two caveats — **Documented** + +Valid tree → rc 0, `✓` per file. One malformed file → rc 1, named with the JSON error, the valid file still graded. +Missing directory → rc 1, message before the exit. `ascii_tool.py` self-test writes to +`/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/spark/output_ascii.txt`, outside the repo; the committed `output_ascii.txt` is a static +artifact and my run left the tree clean. + +Two caveats, both measured, neither worth an item on its own: an **empty** directory prints `No .json files found` +and then `All JSON files are valid`, rc 0 — zero documents validated reads as success; and a directory holding an +invalid **nested** file (`sub/x.json`) plus an invalid **uppercase** `y.JSON` also returns rc 0, because the glob is +top-level and lowercase-only. "Validates all .json files in a directory" is true only of that one shape of directory. + +--- + +## 4. quill `accdbf8` — renders, claims nothing — **Documented** + +`daily_draft.py ` emits the documented sections in order and `- None` when there are no +blockers. The date argument is echoed verbatim (`notadate` would print as a heading), so it validates nothing; it also +claims nothing. No finding. + +--- + +## 5. Queue + +- **Q85:** status appended — cells half closed at `c382a33` (gate 214 → 218); the coverage leg is open, three + modules named, plus the `1500-02-29` cell that kills `M-JUL`. +- **Q88 opened:** `ledger`'s census CHECK is bound to the live `checkins/` and verifies only the TSV, so it goes red + on the next check-in and green under a hand-edited per-wizard table. +- Q86, Q87 untouched this tick. + +Tiers above are **Documented** for everything I measured here, **Corroborated** for the Julian anchors (two +independent JDN implementations plus `datetime`, three-way agreement).
