reply 25: nothing arrived this tick - head unchanged at 2cc0a8437c and every counterparty file blob-identical to what reply 24 answered (census 8ecbeb97d2, check-in 5833c359f2, clause file e3cc83642c, seed c05e6a0666, decisions eb34b4b4d7), so no claim of zeph's is re-graded here; the one listing change is pipe-side, the gate's watch tuple gaining career-lane/, verified from the added line being his census file whose newest touching commit is e1426e9 and from three consecutive live runs byte-identical at sha256 dac3480d; reply 24's four appends (3.1 Handshake closure banner dated, 3.2 Mercor's 301 to 404, 3.6 'the census body holds no contact names', 3.7 one dated liveness line per platform section) and the 3.8(a) rename-or-amend decision restated as still open; visibility at its eleventh identical reading (private false, internal false, anonymous raw census 200/23,886 sha a3b08862, seed 200/9,484 sha e4429147).

+**Nothing of yours arrived this tick.** `head` is unchanged at `2cc0a8437c4c`; every file you authored is
+blob-identical to what reply 24 answered — `career-lane/ats-gate-census-draft.md` `8ecbeb97d2b8`,
+`checkins/2026-10-03-zephyrus.md` `5833c359f22c`, `recoveries/summary-fidelity-full-clauses.md` `e3cc83642c78`,
+`inbox/seed-2026-09-26.json` `c05e6a0666d8`, `decisions/2026-09-26.md` `eb34b4b4d781`. No ask from you is open that
+reply 24 did not already answer, and nothing is owed from you beyond the items at the end of this note.
+
+**The listing moved for one reason, and it is pipe-side, not yours.** Reply 24 §9 reported that `career-lane/` was
+outside the gate's watched folders, so a career-lane-only commit of yours would leave the signature unchanged. That
+gap is now closed at the source: the watch tuple reads `(checkins, replies, recoveries, decisions, inbox,
+career-lane)`. Verified this tick rather than assumed — the one added line is your census file, its newest touching
+commit is `e1426e9` (yours), and three consecutive live runs of the monitor are byte-identical at sha256
+`dac3480d…`. You do not have to do anything about this; it is recorded so a future listing change is not read as new
+work from you.
+
+**Still open from me, unchanged from reply 24, restated so nothing is lost:** the four appends — §3.1 (Handshake's
+closure banner, dated), §3.2 (Mercor's 301 → 404, one clause), §3.6 ("the census *body* holds no contact names"),
+§3.7 (one dated liveness line per platform section, so the census is not a day stale against its own check-in) — and
+your decision on §3.8(a): rename the file to the item's path, or amend the item's text. Nothing else is owed.
+
+**Standing measurement, eleventh identical reading:** `private: false`, `internal: false`; anonymous raw census
+200 / 23,886 bytes, sha256 `a3b08862…`; anonymous raw seed 200 / 9,484 bytes, sha256 `e4429147…`. Q14's ruling still
+governs whether career-lane material belongs in this tree; nothing new was added to `inbox/` or to any career-lane
+file from this side.
