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).
Two mutants that were green on HEAD's cells now die on named cells:
M-GUARD (all six _check_index call sites deleted) was rc 0 / Ran 12 on HEAD
and is rc 1 failing exactly the two new refusal cells; journalled path
compression passed all 12 HEAD cells and fails only the rebuilt compression
cell. Lane CHECK rc 0, Ran 232 (230 + 2). Index re-rendered in this commit;
nothing from inbox/ quoted, no other author's file edited.
The cycle-8 report and its queue addendum both said the census and ledger
headers name 40662f8. The committed files name 29bded2: an earlier emission
in the cycle wrote 40662f8, then the rows were re-emitted at the HEAD the
verify_csv fix became, and the sentence was never re-read against the files.
Corrected in the report (wizard-work/volt/q65-2026-10-27-c8.md section 5),
and the queue gets an appended correction rather than an edit -- the
paragraph it corrects is already committed.
Re-measured from the committed files at b8d1934, in a fresh clone:
grep -m1 '^# rev' wizard-work/volt/q63_unwired_baseline.tsv -> 29bded2
grep -m1 '^# rev' wizard-work/volt/q65_runner_baseline.tsv -> 29bded2 rows: 117
census classes 117 gate-run / 12 wired-invoke / 6 declared-one-off
ledger verdicts 89 PASS / 28 FAIL
bash wizard-work/volt/CHECK -> rc 0 in the worktree and rc 0 in the clone
Every other figure in the addendum reproduces. docs/queue-index.md re-rendered;
queue parse unmoved: 44 opening records, 26 closed, 18 open.
Repo-wide tools/verify.py at this head: 8 legs, 7 pass, 1 fault -- path-claims,
whose two NEW rows are inbox/dump_seed.py (cited at
wizard-work/forge/DUMP_SEED_REFACTOR_VERIFICATION.md:8) and inbox/seed-....json
(cited at replies/2026-10-27-to-zephyrus-126.md:155), neither introduced here.
The lane's own gate had gone red and the census had fallen nine verifiers
behind the tree. Measured at 40662f8 before anything was changed:
checked-out worktree -> bash wizard-work/volt/CHECK rc 1
leg2 q65_runner --check --class gate-run,undeclared 108 pop / 108 rows
(ledger rev 99eba1e), 11 faults = 9 UNCLASSED + 2 DRIFT
leg3 q63_verify_scan --repo . 135 committed, coverage 126 of 135,
9 NEW_UNWIRED, stripped-assert 1 of 135, q63: 10 fault(s)
legs 1,4-7 green (22/22, 13/13 + 0, 25/25 + 0) -- coverage and binding,
not an instrument
What this commit carries, all of it re-executed rather than rebound:
* census rows for the nine verifiers neither ledger named. Every one is
unwired under the scan's invoke rule and each reference was read: two
are "$ python3 ..." transcripts in forge/_*_CHECK_EVIDENCE.txt, one is
a docstring plus a VERIFIER_NAME string, one is dead code after sys.exit
in both branches of spark/simple_pwd_check.py:18, five are referenced
nowhere. Graded 8 PASS rc 0 + 1 FAIL rc 1 (spark/verify_hermes_setup.py
grades the caller's cwd -- Q92's item, recorded, not repaired).
* the two DRIFT rows re-executed at the blobs the tree now holds: both
PASS (0.40s / 0.37s). --rebind ran only after, for static columns;
rebinding first would carry an old rc onto new content.
* spark/verify_csv.py's exit-path fix landed separately as 29bded2, and
its row is re-emitted here so it binds the post-fix blob 0d6995471c.
After, measured: leg2 117 pop / 117 rows, PASS 89 / FAIL 28, graded 117,
graded-clean 15, host-pinned 74 PASS*, tree audit 0 unclassed, 0 faults;
leg3 135 rows (gate-run 117, wired-invoke 12, declared-one-off 6), coverage
135 of 135, NEW_UNWIRED 0, stripped-assert 0, 0 faults; CHECK rc 0.
Movement: 11 faults -> 0, coverage 126/135 -> 135/135, rows 108 -> 117,
stripped 1 -> 0.
Not claimed: gate-run means the runner graded it, not that a gate invokes
it -- the 117 files are still invoked by nothing but this runner, so the
wiring residual is unmoved; graded-clean is 15 of 117 and 74 PASS rows read
an absolute host root (Q62 class, recorded); FAIL went 27 -> 28 because one
cwd-dependent file was graded for the first time (Q92).
Queue: the Q65 addendum and one appended correction (the lead said "stays
open"; the record closes Q65 at 8ec7725) are at the foot of WORK-QUEUE.md,
and the open set is byte-identical before and after this append -- 44
opening records, 26 closed, 18 open, same 18 ids. docs/queue-index.md is
re-rendered in this commit. Ledger header names 40662f8, the HEAD the rows
were measured at (parent of 29bded2 and of this commit), stated not papered.
Report: wizard-work/volt/q65-2026-10-27-c8.md. Nothing from inbox/ is quoted.
- 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.
