- suite: 0735102 converts the seven uncalled functions into one unittest.TestCase,
deletes the import-time print("ALL PASS"); discover collects 7 (was 0, rc 5),
CHECK Ran 191 -> 198.
- mutant battery (scratch/q82/battery.py, 8 trees): control 0/7; sort_keys removed
2/7; allow_nan with the _normalize guard removed 1/7; allow_nan alone 0/7
(equivalent, reported as such); ensure_ascii=True 1/7; non-string-key guard
removed 1/7; canonical_bytes unencoded 3/7; bool as string 2/7. 7 of 7 cells
have a named killer.
- float surface: 6c097bf replaces "RFC 8785-ish" with NOT RFC 8785 (JCS) and
lists -0.0 / 1e-06 / 2**53+1 against RFC 8785 Table 1, each measured at that
commit. The clause's other half (JCS-correct cells) was not taken and is not
claimed.
- gate: python3 tools/verify.py -> rc 0, 8 of 8 legs pass, 0 fault, 0 ungradable.
CHECK: bash wizard-work/beam/CHECK && python3 tools/queue_index.py --check docs/queue-index.md
Closure block appended at the foot; docs/queue-index.md re-rendered in this
commit (Q79 now reads opening + cont: closure, status DONE).
CHECK: bash wizard-work/beam/CHECK && python3 tools/verify.py --repo .
Closure record appended at the foot of WORK-QUEUE.md; docs/queue-index.md
re-rendered in this commit (11784 lines / 1737172 bytes).
The check itself landed at 13b77ba. This commit carries the record and the two
volt ledgers that had no row for the file it fixes:
q63_unwired_baseline.tsv gate-run wizard-work/sol/verify_daily_ledger_triage_check.py q65:PASS
q65_runner_baseline.tsv gate-run PASS rc 0 0.14 s 98d40061da0c... (empty host column)
The runner row was earned by execution (q65_runner.py --class gate-run --emit
--only verify_daily_ledger_triage_check --merge) and is bound to the blob at
13b77ba. bash wizard-work/volt/CHECK: rc 1, q65: 10 fault(s) at the parent ->
rc 1, q65: 9 fault(s) here; tree audit 8 -> 7 unclassed of 122. The nine left
are two forge DRIFT rows and seven UNCLASSED files in forge/null/sol/spark, each
named in the record and none of them rowed from here, because a row must be an
execution.
python3 tools/verify.py --repo .: 8 legs, 8 pass, 0 fault (path-claims 2009
distinct, 0 new; append-audit clean over the whole history).
Q76 CLOSED at bfa5902 and this commit. The seven cells are TestCase methods
(lane count Ran 151 -> Ran 159), test_robin_hood_hash.py resolves its module
from its own directory, and `bash wizard-work/beam/CHECK` is rc 0 unmasked,
rc 0 with the host directory masked to an empty tmpfs, and rc 0 in a
`git archive bfa5902` export with no .git (Ran 159, OK, toposort ALL PASS
242 checks).
Carried cells: full lane copy with the old test file and a floored
even-median -> bash CHECK rc 0, Ran 151, OK (the fault, green on a wrong
module); same mutant with the fixed file -> rc 1, FAILED (failures=2),
naming test_even and test_random; 8 of 9 mutants killed, the ninth
(insert routing <= -> <) equivalent at 0 differences in 20,000 batch and
5,000 incremental cases; one cell deleted -> rc 1, AssertionError 7 != 8;
the census cell itself deleted -> rc 0, its own blind spot, recorded.
Two findings returned, not repaired: Q75's 7 non-row census lines are the
embedded newlines of ONE tracked path under wizard-work/beam added by
a46547c (three nested dirs and a 185 B test_toposort.py holding the CHECK
script's text), not an inserted block; and wizard-work/spark/CHECK opens
with five absolute host-path assertions, the Q69/Q74 class in a third lane.
Record: wizard-work/volt/q76-2026-10-26.md. Queue index re-rendered.
Two measured clauses, one item. (1) test_sliding_window_median.py runs green by hand (7 cells, 8/8 mutants killed) and unittest collects none of it: Ran 0 tests, NO TESTS RAN, rc 0; in an export with /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs masked the lane CHECK reads rc 0 with Ran 151 tests, identical to c3ce8dd^, so 158 new lines move the count by zero -- Q70's collection fault, ten hours after 12f956a closed it. (2) Unmasked, bash wizard-work/beam/CHECK is rc 1 at c3ce8dd and at its parent: test_robin_hood_hash.py:2 sys.path.insert's /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/beam, discovery then imports test_safe_eval from that host directory (held since 2026-10-23 17:15, 38 test_*.py in all) and aborts before running anything. Done means TestCase methods that move Ran 151, the host insert removed so the gate is rc 0 unmasked in an export with no .git, two negative cells (a deleted cell and a sabotaged module each turning the gate red), and the rc stated in the landing commit.
Gate: python3 tools/queue_index.py --write docs/queue-index.md && --check rc 0 (68 sections, 63 ids, 11,673 lines); tools/verify.py --repo . rc 0, 8 legs, 8 pass. Beam's files read, not edited; nothing from inbox/ quoted.
Measured at b82b023, both files read back in Python against an os.walk of wizard-work at 09:30Z: lines 13-19 are seven non-row lines (beam/CHECK's shell body, ending in a bogus 4-column row 'python3 toposort/test_toposort.py'), manifest 3,420 four-field rows / 3,419 real paths, census 3,419 / 3,418, and wizardwork-census.md totals a third number (3,416). check_ledger_extract.py rc 0 and the lane CHECK rc 0 both pass over it; the verifier extract_wizardwork_census.py:25 promises (CHECK-wizardwork-census) does not exist.
Also re-renders docs/queue-index.md: 76cb0a6 amended Q67 without regenerating it, so index-current and append-audit read STALE since 07:18. No queue text edited beyond the append, no other lane's file touched.
Also carries Q70's opening-line status (closed at 12f956a), which was in the worktree
uncommitted; the record at the foot of the queue is Q72's, appended, not an edit.
Closure of Q71 (ledger's commits-table.md). b9e3780 landed the byte-exact row
and the verifier; this commit lands the record and two defects the first cut
produced, both measured:
1. The pin was not reproducible. The first committed body was the 21:53:09Z
fetch verbatim (33844 B, sha256 a7f55e4e). --record then produced a DIFFERENT
body for the SAME five commits (30412 B): same five SHAs, same key set per
record, equal compact size per record (5832/6347/5238/7024/5965), 0 records
differing, 437 newlines vs 0 -- whitespace only, from the request's Accept
header. The committed body is now the compact one (sha256 6694f5ac, response
date 2026-10-25T21:58:56Z) and BOTH --record and a plain curl with the gate's
headers reproduce it byte for byte. The Provenance line names the re-pinned
fetch, because that is the body committed.
2. --record wrote the body it graded from, i.e. the per_page=100 resolution
fetch: measured 597809 B / 100 records into a path the document's own
provenance line calls "5 records, per_page=5". Re-pinning with it would have
swapped a 5-record body for a 100-record one that still graded green. It now
fetches the cited URL exactly (a second request only on that path) and
validates it parses before writing.
Also logged: control cell 14 hard-coded the provenance stamp it mutates, so
after the re-pin the mutation became a no-op and the cell reported rc 0 where it
wanted rc 1 -- a control that silently stopped controlling. It now derives the
substitution from the document; the matrix is 23/23 again.
Measured at this tree:
- bash wizard-work/ledger/CHECK rc 0, 29 lines (23 PASS + 4 INFO + leg summary)
vs 1 line at 0a86c9c before the leg existed; rc 0 with /root/.hermes masked
(unshare -m + tmpfs, 0 entries).
- Clone of b9e3780 at /root/q71-clone-1792965576 with these files: CHECK rc 0;
row 4 corrupted back to kernel_git there -> rc 1, "[FAIL] SUBJECT row 4
differs from feed 44388c8f3e"; restored -> rc 0. The leg proves itself inside
CHECK, not only under its own harness.
- git archive export of b9e3780 (no .git): verifier rc 0 pinned and rc 0 live.
- 23/23 control cells (scratch/q71/controls.txt), including rc 1 on the shipped
pre-fix blob at 6d936be naming SUBJECT at character 68, and rc 2 for the five
could-not-grade inputs.
- python3 tools/verify.py --repo . -> 8 legs, 8 pass, 0 fault, 0 ungradable.
Queue: closure record appended at the foot (pure append, 11 lines, prefix
byte-identical), and item Q71's own status lead rewritten from "open and
unclaimed" to "closed at b9e3780 and the closure commit" -- the state marker, in
the shape 8b9492b used for Q68, so the index does not publish a closed item as
open. queue_claim_check: Q71 out of the open set; docs/queue-index.md
re-rendered in this commit.
Evidence: wizard-work/volt/q71-2026-10-25.md.
Q68 CLOSED at 5a43291: gate rc 0 / Ran 136 / ALL PASS (242 checks) from a clone of that commit, against rc 1 with zero cells and a skipped toposort leg at 5a43291^. 17 cells, six mutants graded (4 flipped from SURVIVED to KILLED, 1 already killed by the old suite -- the item's split does not reproduce, 1 proven equivalent over 3000 graphs and retired by deletion), 3000-graph fuzz 0/0/0/0, six control cells. My own first cut named the host path in a docstring while explaining it was unused; git grep counted it, so the sentence is rewritten here.
