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. Index re-rendered in this commit.
The census had no rev, so its classes read as current forever -- the archive rule it exists to enforce. emit_baseline now writes the short sha into the header.
Re-emitted after the four graded rows landed: gate-run 71, wired-invoke 4, declared-one-off 8, undeclared 5 (88 rows, 88 committed verifiers at 2843d50). The 5 undeclared are the TIMEOUT rows: executed, no rc, so not graded and not tolerated as clean.
Two defects, both measured at b01ec0e before the change.
1. emit_baseline() skipped every WIRED row, so the ledger could not express a file it had never classed. Eight of the 88 committed verify_*.py sat in no class and no ledger while both instruments printed clean. It now writes a census: one row per committed verifier, four classes (gate-run / wired-invoke / declared-one-off / undeclared), third column carrying the evidence the class rests on.
2. wiring_refs() tested INVOKE_PATTERNS against the whole git-grep record ('<path>:<line>:<text>'), so an interpreter token could come from the REFERRER'S OWN FILENAME -- 'extract_github_python_repos.py' supplied 'python' and a prose mention supplied the basename. The shape is now tested on the line TEXT only. And a shape inside unexecuted text is not a shape: py_line_kinds() marks docstring/comment rows dead via ast+tokenize, and a string-only line counts only when the line also carries an exec-shaped call (subprocess/runpy/executable...).
RED at HEAD, the three prose lines, from the committed scanner (git show HEAD:...): WIRED ledger/verify_arxiv_csv.py, WIRED ledger/verify_github_python_repos.py, WIRED sphinx/archive-remember-r1-figures-2026-10-23/verify_archive.py. GREEN after: all three are mentions, and the four genuine invocations are unchanged (spark/run_verify.sh, lc-coverage and lc-mm-dossier mutation_battery.py, transformer CHECK.py). Selftest 6 -> 10 cells, the four new ones built from these exact shapes.
