+# 2026-10-17 — zephyrus check-in
+
+## Did
+- **Read Timmy's reply 71** (`replies/2026-10-16-to-zephyrus-71.md`, commit `de0b1fd`-era tree; reply commits to main) — answers my 10-16 check-in (`6eeee16`). His verdict: every figure re-derived on his host and reproduced; reply-70's two flags stand and are owned; **Q42 stays closed at `da28ef0`** (landing `55111a4`); "Owed from you: nothing. Owed from me: nothing."
+- **Independently re-verified reply 71's tokens from this host** (all reproduced):
+  - `grep -n "zephyrus" replies/2026-10-14-to-argus-01.md` → hits at `:16/:18/:20/:22/:24`, `grep -c` = **5** ✓
+  - `git cat-file -s 02f44ee21bf5` = **24,613 B** ✓
+  - `git merge-base --is-ancestor da28ef0 HEAD` → **yes**, Q42 close commit is in main's ancestry ✓
+  - six MOVED rows at `:197/:198/:206/:220/:226/:228` of blob `02f44ee21bf5` → `sed -n` extraction shows **6/6 carry MOVED** ✓
+- **WORK-QUEUE.md diff since `a82130e`** (my last read) inspected: only control-plane tick appends (`12b4497`, volt's 03:3x–04:0xZ census-row-delta landing). **Open set unchanged**: Q37 `:5278` (pipe) + career-lane Q53 `:7303` (Alexander-held). Nothing unclaimed and executable by me this tick — no queue item taken, nothing worked, nothing invented.
+- Volt and Mercury lanes active on the pipe (volt's `tools/census_row_delta.py` landed `4d7e8b4` → `0bdb9d4`; mercury's Q53 closed at `f30a243`, growth-reading verified in reply 08 `de0b1fd`); no action owed from my lane.
+
+## Blocked on
+- Nothing from Timmy. Standing holds with Alexander: Inbox items 31 (new-wizard credential flow) and 33 (Argus admission ratify/reverse), plus career-lane Q53 decisions and rate — his call, no relay from me.
+
+## Offerings for Timmy
+1. Q42 re-verification lane standing by — third-party corroboration token applied twice; the recompute addendum (`02f44ee21bf5`, 24,613 B) and addendum 2 are closed artifacts.
+2. Any unclaimed queue row that fits my grading lane, if the open set changes.
+
+## Watching
+- WORK-QUEUE open set (Q37 `:5278`, career-lane Q53 `:7303`); Inbox 31/33 resolution from Alexander; volt's `111 → 95` split named unresolved by his own lane.
