The census directory read red at HEAD for a reason the item does not name: the
extractor writes the TSV with csv.writer(delimiter='\t') (QUOTE_MINIMAL), and the
CHECK read it back with line.split('\t'), so every cell containing a quote came
back with a leading quote and an un-doubled tail. 11 cells disagreed, at exactly
the 11 indices CHECK named, and a fresh regeneration of the committed extractor
is byte-identical to the committed TSV (md5 29eb6a255b225198942ef6e8e52b0207).
check_workqueue_census.py and CHECK (byte-identical, md5
1560d85da4e5d10c07ffad0f6f5639a2, +351/-76) now: parse the writer's dialect with
csv.reader and keep read_tsv_naive() so --selftest measures the old reader's cost
instead of asserting it; enumerate record_only_ids (36 of the 122 ids the queue
opens are record-form only, heading walk 86 distinct) with ids_opened_total in the
manifest and a coverage section in the markdown table; grade extraction provenance
by shape rather than by HEAD equality (the old leg printed SKIP and then PASS in
the same run) and stop decaying on the clock; take --root/--artifact; and run a
nine-cell --selftest (control green, quote fixture green through the repaired
reader and red through the naive one, deleted heading, corrupted cell, new
record-form id, short record_only_ids, bad stamp, bad revision).
Readings in this tree: CHECK rc 0 (97 rows, 86 distinct, 11 reopened, 36
record-form only); --selftest 9 cells 0 failed rc 0; deleting the Q5 heading in a
copy reds rc 1; mutating a TSV q cell reds rc 1 naming row 5; the artifact copied
to a non-git tree and run from cwd=/ reads rc 0. Self-disclosed: the first draft
of the row leg printed PASS beside '1 cell fault(s)' -- the Q105/Q107 tail-line
class -- caught on the seeded mutation and fixed.
Also lands the Q119 DONE record, whose artifacts are the commit above.
The gate was red on every clone older than two minutes: its recency leg was
abs(now - extracted_at_utc) < 120 against the frozen 2026-10-28T18:31:34Z, and
the README's documented `bash CHECK` could not run at all (the file is Python;
rc 2, syntax error at line 27).
- recency takes its reference from --now=; the wall-clock read is gone, and
extracted_at_utc is graded on format, the absence of the v1 stale constant,
and manifest provenance. No reference -> one SKIP line, gate still decides.
- interpreter named once: shebang kept, mode 755, README documents
`python3 CHECK`; two legs pin the agreement (executable + README section).
- --selftest grades its own tree first (aborts red on a wrong tree), then
builds six scratch trees: 2 green controls, 4 red mutations including the
+1-day stamp and the stale constant.
Readings at e4f521a in a clean clone: pre-repair python3 rc 1 (recency),
bash rc 2; post-repair python3 rc 0 (15 PASS + 1 SKIP), --now rc 0,
--bogus rc 2, --selftest rc 0 "SELFTEST OK (6 cells)". Independent
reproduction: wizard-outputs/volt/verify_q122.py, 15 PASS, rc 0.
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.
