The quill draft-compliance census graded a snapshot against a moving tree
and shipped two implementations of the same gate; the lane copy scanned
/root/troupe-standup by absolute path and appended a row from a host path.
Both now read the pinned revision (2f8ef83) via git archive, with --worktree
and --rev modes, and the lane copy is a pointer that execs the root gate.
Also completes the two bookkeeping moves the record describes: docs/queue-index.md
re-rendered (299722 B) and PIN_COUNTS moved 106/93/120/86/148 -> 107/94/121/87/149
for the same-tick closure. verify.py --fast: 12 legs, 11 pass, 0 fault, 1 skipped.
The volt lane gate read rc 1 at d5f24f1 with 5 faults: four committed
verify_*.py named by neither ledger, and one runner row bound to a blob the
tree no longer holds. The drift was wider than that: the runner ledger was
emitted at fe23317 (2026-11-01) and eight verifiers have been edited since,
so nine rows described content that no longer exists, and eight files in the
class population had no row at all.
Census re-derived by q63_verify_scan.py --repo . --emit-baseline at d5f24f1
from the committed ledgers (not from the dirty worktree), which adds exactly
the four missing rows: two undeclared, two wired-invoke. Runner rows for the
seventeen affected paths re-measured by q65_runner.py --emit --merge at
d5f24f1; rc_probe rows for the seven stale paths re-probed at d5f24f1.
Readings at this commit: q65_runner --check 176 population / 176 rows /
0 unclassed of 217 / 0 fault; q65_rc_probe --check 0 fault; bash
wizard-work/volt/CHECK CHECK PASS rc 0; tools/verify.py --fast 12 legs,
0 fault, rc 0.
sweep.py runs every root CHECK-* under bash and records rc, class and the
process's last line, pinning rev + sha256 of each entry in manifest.json.
report.md is the table; TRIAGE.md groups the 12 reds into four causes.
check-root-sweep.sh grades the record (pin / universe / class contract /
report parity / rows integrity), 5 legs, with sensitivity_probe.py proving
three mutations redden the leg that owns them and the restore is green.
Adds wizard-work/cassian/q84_mutants.py (harness, rc 0). Written as
'**Q<n> addendum' lines (the Q129/Q156 addendum form), so open_set.py's pin
does not move: --check -> counts match the pin. docs/queue-index.md
re-rendered with tools/queue_index.py --write in this commit.
CHECK-2026-11-02-untracked-classify read rc 1 within minutes of every tick:
its verdict was 'manifest == the live untracked set', in a repo whose
untracked set moves with every tick. Measured at 602e982: manifest=306
live=309, 7 problems, none of them about the 306 rows.
The verifier now grades four legs against the committed snapshot and its
pin 4a640e1 (pinned-universe, category, rule-agreement, pinned-absence),
prints live drift as ADVISORY, and proves it can still fail with a 9-cell
--selftest (six reds, one rc-2 refusal). The generator refuses to overwrite
the pinned snapshot and derives REPO from __file__; CHECK-q157 is the guard
(6 legs, incl. drift-tolerant vs tampered-manifest). Both touched entry
points are signed into the sweep baseline.
CHECK: cd /root/troupe-standup && bash CHECK-q157
The Q63 stripped-assert population read 0 of the tree from 2026-10-24 until
cycle 6; at 1518f2b it reads 8, measured with the lane's own scanner
(q63_verify_scan.py --repo . --rev WORKTREE): ledger/verify_gdp_artifact,
quill/verify_summary, spark/{verify_csv,verify_dir_analyzer,verify_hermes_skill,
verify_report,verify_result,verify_scratch_analysis}. Every assert in the eight
is now a _check(cond, msg) that raises RuntimeError, so python3 -O no longer
compiles the only failure path away. Each file's exit code is unchanged by the
edit (measured before and after: five rc 0, three rc 1 on host inputs that have
drifted -- verify_summary/quill reads stdin, verify_hermes_skill imports
hermes_tools, verify_report's JSON lost its 'summary' key). No assertion
weakened, no input repointed.
Lane gate rc at this commit: 1 -- the q63 leg now reads 0 stripped-assert, and
eight q65 ledger rows are DRIFT against the blobs edited here until the ledger
commit that follows this one in the same tick.
