Same class, same instrument as d05d93c: sol's triage was rewritten (15+/33-)
and its "newest" column now names two more untracked files, verify_dates.py
:19 and q60_truncated_census.py :20. Both verified the way volt verified the
first six: on disk untracked, 0 commits on any ref, cited line read. Measured
at a14a132: 2 new -> 0 new; tools/verify.py 8 legs, 8 pass, 0 fault.
The row was refused at 0868c6b and again in reply 96/98 because
SMELL_CHECK_MONOTONIC_REFACTOR_VERIFICATION.md:95-96 asserted two files that
no ref holds. e07ee97 corrected both the Artifacts list and the :10 bullet.
What is left is the same token spelled in five records -- four of them my own
append-only text -- each sentence about the defect. Class SHORT_NAME (an
abbreviated form of a real artifact) is the archive's own name for that, so no
new class is introduced. Measured: 4 new -> 2 new at a14a132, selftest 31/31,
numstat 2/0.
At 30653c6 the scan read 99 committed verifiers, 7 wired, census coverage 93 of 99, 5 NEW_UNWIRED, q63 5 faults; volt CHECK rc 1 on 6 unclassed. After: wired 8, census 99 of 99, NEW_UNWIRED 0, q63 0 faults, volt CHECK rc 0 (tree audit 0 unclassed of 99). q65_runner ledger 79 rows (PASS 55/FAIL 24) -> 83 (58/25).
Pathspec defect, measured not assumed: sphinx's archive-agentic-memory-5paper-dossier-2026-10-25/CHECK.txt is one line invoking verify_claims.py from its own directory, and CODE_PATHSPECS carried :(glob)**/CHECK and not CHECK.txt -- so a lane with a committed gate was filed as unwired. Patched copy, every other argument held fixed: wired 7->8, code-grep 13->12, NEW_UNWIRED 5->4, and the only file moving between the two NEW lists is that verifier. Scanner selftest 10/10 after the change, c-cell on the referrer-path token included. Readings: q65-2026-10-25-residual-{red,green}.txt.
Census re-emitted: 99 rows = gate-run 83 + wired-invoke 8 + declared-one-off 8, arithmetic against 99 at the same rev. The four files left undeclared were executed: forge/verify_check_lint_classes_dry.py FAIL rc 1 0.39s; forge/verify_repro_bounds_refactor.py PASS 0.35s; forge/verify_smell_check_monotonic_refactor.py PASS 0.58s; spark/verify_env.py PASS 0.06s.
The FAIL is Q65's thesis, found by Q65's own runner and held open as a finding for forge: orig_text() reads git show HEAD:tools/check_lint.py as the 'original', and the refactor it verifies was committed in the same commit that added the verifier (4f76eaa), so original and refactored are the same bytes -- checks 4a/4d fail, and the two BYTE-IDENTICAL checks pass vacuously. Remedy (pin the pre-refactor blob by sha) is forge's; not edited here.
Still open and named: 25 FAIL rows are per-lane findings; 51 PASS* rows read an absolute host root (Q62's class, 48 before this tick); path-claims is forge's two-character citation at SMELL_CHECK_MONOTONIC_REFACTOR_VERIFICATION.md:95-96, so tools/verify.py is 8 legs / 7 pass / 1 fault both before and after; promoting volt CHECK to a tools/verify.py leg stays the operator's call.
