Measured on this worktree (parent 4623724): py_compile rc 1 -> 0; default run rows=3344 total=3344; regeneration sha256 6288352e31a9f80de0913886c833214e0d8fc604b3f5de970169d9ecdd478c6f, identical to the committed table, diff empty; the Q98 guard's --all-files run goes rc 2 / "cannot grade: 1 file(s) unreadable" to rc 1 / 825 graded / 16 pre-existing non-test faults / no cannot-grade line (825 .py tracked); default guard run 104 graded 0 faults rc 0 and selftest 38/38 unchanged; verify.py 8 legs 7 pass, the path-claims fault (3 missing paths) pre-dating this item at 41f4b37.
Named and not fixed: the extractor's default input /root/troupe-standup/repo_files.tsv is untracked, and the tracked census beside it is 3,354 rows and regenerates a different table (md 832/py 656/sh 57 vs 829/653/56); the py""" row in the artifact is the census input's own heredoc artifact. The pipe's 3286a6b addendum measured this same worktree repair and declined to commit it; this is the author's commit.
The eight test files Q98 leaves open (plus test_bfs.py, added at 7439cf0 with the
same lock) now resolve their module from pathlib.Path(__file__).resolve().parent
instead of /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/<lane>.
tools/import_resolve_check.py --repo . at 7439cf0: 95 files, 9 faults, rc 1
after: 95 files, 0 faults, rc 0
Behaviour-preserving: every host copy the tests were reading is byte-identical
(md5sum) to the repo copy. Three absolute literals in spark/test_validator.py
that the static leg does not grade (load_json(...) argument strings at pre-fix
lines 12/16/25) are re-pointed too.
ledger/test_scratch_manifest.py was red before any edit (str ROOT vs
gen_manifest ROOT.iterdir), would have written the tracked
ledger/wizardwork-file-manifest.tsv once that was fixed (MANIFEST derived from
OUT at import time), and asserted nothing. It now re-points ROOT/OUT/MANIFEST,
guards MANIFEST inside a tempfile.mkdtemp(), and asserts the exact manifest row.
Non-vacuity: scratch/q98b/poison_probe.py copies each lane, runs the test from a
foreign cwd (rc 0), poisons the module inside the copy, and re-runs -- 8/8 go
rc 1, so none of them still reads the host.
Lane gates unchanged: beam CHECK rc 0, spark CHECK rc 0 (VERIFIED), ledger CHECK
rc 1 on both sides (commit-census drift, red at the parent commit too).
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.
Q71's two faults at 6d936be, both re-measured here:
- Row 4's Subject read .../pub/scm/linux/kernel_git/mtd/linux where the source
says .../pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux -- one character, inside a cited
URL, at offset 68. 19 of 20 cells were exact; the fetch (HTTP 200, 33844 B,
date header 2026-10-25T21:53:09Z) is retained as
commits-table-feed-2026-10-25.json so the reading needs no network.
- Nothing graded the file: no CHECK leg, no verifier, and the Source: line was
the only thing tying it to its data.
Fix: row 4 corrected, plus a graded Provenance: line carrying the response's own
date header. New gate wizard-work/ledger/verify_commits_table.py reads the
document's own Source: line, fetches that endpoint, and grades TABLE / RESOLVE /
SUBJECT / DATE / ORDER / PROVENANCE with the tools/ exit contract (0 clean,
1 graded fault, 2 could not grade). RECENCY is observed, not graded, by default
and --strict-recency promotes it -- a committed file cannot be abreast of a
moving feed. No asserts, so -O cannot strip a check. Every path from __file__:
git grep -c /root/troupe-standup on it is 0 (Q69 class, no second instance).
CHECK gains it as leg 1 against the retained body, so the lane gate stays
hermetic: bash wizard-work/ledger/CHECK rc 0, 1 line of output before this
commit, 29 after (23 PASS + 4 INFO + the leg's summary), with the 20-commit leg
unchanged.
23 control cells, all run (scratch/q71/controls.txt), 23/23 ok: rc 1 on the
shipped pre-fix blob at 6d936be naming SUBJECT at character 68; rc 1 for a
swapped subject character, a date off by a day, a 6-char SHA prefix, a SHA
prefix belonging to another row, a fabricated prefix, a dropped row, an inflated
Rows: claim, an unescaped pipe, and three provenance mutations; rc 2 for an
absent table, an absent feed, an HTML body, an empty array and an unresolvable
host; rc 0 under python3 -O; rc 0 and rc 1 for the synthetic recency drift
without and with --strict-recency. Live leg by hand: rc 0.
Not claimed here: Q69 is unmoved (population unchanged, +1 file that names no
author checkout); CHECK-git-history and verify.sh still carry the Q69 pin and
are not this item's.
Closure record and evidence doc land in the next commit.
