Q130's closed-artifacts leg added "path": os.path.join(...) to verify.py's
LEGS, so ast.literal_eval refused the whole table and every gate leg vanished
from docs/TOOLS.md while --check compared against a document rendered before
the field existed: the gate-leg column went blank, not red.
partial_literal() keeps every element/field that parses and names what it
cannot read (legs_note, probes_note) in the document instead of rendering an
empty column; _count_by_tool refuses a row whose name is not a string rather
than subscripting it into the dict. Selftest 20 -> 23 cells, pin moved with
it, docs/TOOLS.md re-rendered (23 tools, 10 gate legs).
tools/queue_index.py, one defect in two places. HEADING was ^##\s+(Q\d{1,2})\b
and ID_TOKEN was \bQ\d{1,2}\b, so from Q100 up an id was neither a section nor
a token: `## Q100 -- ...` parsed as body text of the section before it. Both are
now `Q\d+` with the trailing \b kept. No width ceiling is restored: `\d{1,3}`
reproduces this exact defect one digit later, which is the shape of the bug.
Second half, same item: an id opened by a `**Qnn -- ...**` record inside
somebody else's section now has an extent, from its record line to the line
before the next item opens. Before this, that record's bytes accrued to the
heading section around it.
Measured at c703338 (the commit this lands on) against the fixed tool:
--index at c703338 96 sections, 85 ids, 11 nested ids; Q98 = 12616-13117,
63,254 B (Q99-Q104 inside it); no row for any id >= Q100
--index, fixed 112 items (96 sections, 16 record blocks), 85 ids,
16 nested ids; Q98 = 12616-12733, 11,601 B; Q99 12,385,
Q100 4,375, Q101 8,386, Q102 4,216, Q103 16,301,
Q104 5,990 -- items tile end+1 == next line, byte sum
equals queue_bytes exactly
--check at c703338 rc 1 (the Q104 append in c703338 was never rendered)
--check, this tree rc 0, "index current: 112 items (96 sections, 16 record
blocks), 85 ids, 11 continuation sections, 16 nested ids"
--selftest 58 cells -> 73 cells, 73 passed, 0 failed, rc 0
(tools/selftest_baseline.tsv follows: queue_index.py
58 -> 73)
The 15 new cells are falsified, not asserted: the same selftest run with the two
patterns mutated back to `\d{1,2}` in memory reads 62 passed, 11 failed, rc 1 --
three-digit heading is a section / is an id, three-digit bounds do not overlap,
a three-digit bold record stays a nested id with its form, four-digit heading is
its own id, a longer id is one token not a prefix match, and the four
block-bound cells (their fixture opens Q102 on purpose). Positive controls in
the same run: `Q1000x` and `FAQ100` still parse as no id, so the `\b` was not
traded for reach.
Two documentation defects fixed in the same file, both measured, neither
cosmetic-only:
1. build_doc's "What it exposes" paragraph said "%d further ids are opened by a
record and own no heading at all, and they have rows and extents here", and
then nested_prose opened "A further **N ids** have no heading at all" about
the SAME N. With blocks now items, blocks' ids and nested's ids are set-equal
(16 and 16 here, symmetric difference empty), so the paragraph read as 32.
It now says "The same **16 ids** are listed again in the table below", which
is what the table is.
2. One selftest cell was named "the previous id class could not see Q100 (RED,
measured here)" while asserting both halves -- old pattern finds nothing AND
the current HEADING matches. Renamed to say both.
Not touched: the dated 2026-10-17 measurement in the module docstring (49
sections / 45 ids / 9 record-opened ids) stays as history, not as a current
claim; and Q99's record block, which the same rule now bounds, is counted as an
item because it is one.
docs/queue-index.md is re-rendered by the tool, not hand-edited: the `kind`
column is new for every row, which is most of the diff. verify.py's
index-current leg reads it.
Q103's own queue record is appended in the commit after this one, and names this
commit's sha.
c30f372 landed tools/import_resolve_check.py and nothing registered it: the sweep read NO_PROBE on both input axes plus PIN_UNPINNED, write_probe read NO_PROBE on the json axis and failed its own c7 roster cell, and tool_map's HEAD drift cell failed on a TOOLS.md that did not name the tool. Measured at 7ffd177: verify.py 8 legs 5 pass / 3 fault (path-claims, selftest-sweep, write-axis); after this commit 7 pass / 1 fault, the remaining leg being the two inbox rows that faulted before this tick. Sweep: '23 tools, 21 OK, 2 fatal' -> 'verdict: rc 0 -- clean'; read-refusal 27 ok + NO_PROBE -> 28/28; malformed 26 ok + NO_PROBE -> 27/27; pin 22 pinned + 1 drift -> 23 pinned, 23 agree. write_probe: selftest 14/15 (c7 tool-only=['import_resolve_check.py']) -> 15/15, live axis 27 probed / 27 ok. The three new rows were graded against mutants of the tool, not assumed: refusal at rc 1 -> RC_NOT_2, not-a-repo graded clean -> RC_WRONG, --json silently skipped -> RC_OTHER. The tool itself is unmodified and still reads rc 1 on this tree (8 faults in 7 test files, Q98's subject). No other lane's file edited.
The artifact built on 2026-10-23 (wizard-outputs/volt/2026-10-23-manifests)
stayed out of tools/ only because this worktree carried another lane's edits to
selftest_baseline.tsv. tools/ is clean at HEAD, so it graduates.
- tools/manifest_audit.py: byte-identical logic to the artifact (sha256
7e495ada...), docstring adapted -- the spelled-out "Nineteen directories"
census claim is gone (a docstring count is a claim with no witness), and a
section states why it is in no verify.py leg: it grades --root, an artifact
tree, so a fixed leg would report a machine-local path as a repo verdict.
- selftest_sweep.py: 3 probe rows. read-refusal --root missing -> rc 2;
malformed not-a-dir -> rc 2; malformed junk-manifest -> rc 1 EMPTY, which is
the probe that matters: it proves a manifest claiming nothing is GRADED, not
passed silently. New {junkmanifest} fixture (a root whose files.sha256 parses
as no entry) + its legend line.
- selftest_baseline.tsv: one added row, manifest_audit.py 17 cells.
- docs/TOOLS.md: re-rendered (21 -> 22 tools; probes 1 / 0 / 2).
Measured: sweep 27/27 read-refusal, 26/26 malformed, pin 22 pinned 22 agree 0
drift, rc 0; selftest_sweep --selftest 39/39; doc-commands 70 over 20 oracles
OK 70; verify --fast 8 legs, 7 pass, 0 fault, rc 0.
The gate had six legs and none of them read a docstring's own command line.
doc_command_check.py existed since 838750c but only as a tool: nothing on the
gate ran it, so a documented flag its parser never learned could land and
nobody read it. This is that leg.
doc-commands tools/doc_command_check.py --rev WORKTREE --fail
WORKTREE, not HEAD: the commit window is where a docstring is
edited. Measured at the worktree this lands in: 67 commands
over 19 oracle tools, 67 OK, rc 0.
doc_command_check.py learns --rev WORKTREE: tracked paths from `git ls-files`
(an untracked tools/x.py is not part of the commit this mode grades), bytes
from disk. Outside a work tree it is rc 2, not an empty clean run. Selftest
15 -> 18 cells: one document edited on disk but not committed is rc 0 at HEAD
and rc 1 at WORKTREE, and the flag it names is the edited one.
Three tools stopped defaulting to a fixed path on this host. verify.py,
selftest_sweep.py, write_probe.py, citation_resolve_check.py,
path_claim_check.py and doc_census_check.py now resolve DEFAULT_REPO from the
file's own location, so a bare run in a clone grades the clone.
Three selftests refuse unreadable input at rc 2 instead of reporting it as
failed content: tool_map (not a work tree), write_probe (no table), and
citation_resolve_check (no corpus). Each cell below them graded `repo`, so an
absent tree read as "your table is wrong".
Evidence, all measured on this tree before the commit:
verify.py --selftest 55 cells, 55 passed (docstring says 55)
doc_command_check.py --selftest 18 cells, 18 passed (baseline pinned 18)
tool_map.py --repo . --rev WORKTREE --check docs/TOOLS.md rc 0
verify.py --repo . 7 legs, 6 pass, 1 fault -- selftest-sweep,
tool_map's drift cell, which renders HEAD
and so cannot pass inside a commit window
tools/selftest_baseline.tsv re-pins doc_command_check.py 15 -> 18 cells.
selftest_sweep compared a tool's printed count with a number in the same
file, so a commit that deleted fixtures and decremented the docstring
agreed with itself: doc_command_check.py cut 15 cells -> 12 read clean
(sweep: 21 tools, 21 OK, 0 fatal, rc 0). tools/selftest_baseline.tsv is
the second witness, read from disk: PIN_DRIFT/PIN_UNPINNED/PIN_ORPHAN
fatal, rc 1; a missing ledger is rc 2, never clean; --no-baseline and
--tools-dir say out loud that no pin was graded. +283/-4; selftest
30 -> 39 cells, 39/39.
