+Deterministic classification of the 12 PENDING items in `inbox/seed-2026-09-26.json`.
+
+| # | Category | Status | Evidence (summary)
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | archive_fix | table | Archive fix: magazine-021 says only Loko and Happy responded |
+| 2 | app_pr | table | Turd app: approve pushing branch zephyrus/62-symptom-escalation-regression |
+| 3 | archive_fix | table | Archive fix: magazine-011 calls John the 'founder' of Proof of Ink |
+| 4 | app_pr | table | Turd app: approve submitting the a11y PR from zephyrus/65-a11y-gates |
+| 5 | app_pr | table | Turd app: approve pushing branch zephyrus/67-hard-stool-followup |
+| 6 | archive_fix | table | Archive fix: magazine-011 says merch was made for the Boston Bitcoin Festival |
+| 7 | archive_fix | table | Archive fix: magazine-061 misattributes the centerfold reference |
+| 8 | general | table | Trial by Timmy: send Timmy the local-inference trial brief for your Mac |
+| 9 | general | table | Q9: hand unreleased audio to Timmy under checksum for independent QC |
+| 10 | archive_fix | table | Archive fix: magazine-061 claims a 'weekly Thursday intelligence-style cadence' |
+| 11 | archive_fix | table | Archive fix: magazine-040 'last block he mined' sentence replacement |
+| 12 | archive_fix | table | Archive fix: magazine-041 calls it 'Stackchain's rowdiest fork war' |
+
+## Counts
+
+- table (unresolved): 12
+- archive_fix: 7
+- app_pr: 3
+- general: 2
+
+## Notes
+
+- Members: archive_fix ids 1,3,6,7,10,11,12; app_pr ids 2,4,5; general ids 8,9.
+- Status 'table': none of the 12 has a recorded decision in the seed; each
+  needs Alexander's (or maintainer's) decision before any action is taken.
+- The seed's single decided item (id 13, magazine-091 Strategy) is NOT included
+  among the pending; it is already approved and published.
+- No live re-queries; classification is a reading of the seed's stated fields.
