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).
The CHECK resolved its artifact from BASE = /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs (module
scope), so it graded the host copy. Measured at c74e8af from a git archive export
with no .git: a committed artifact doctored in four cells (forge -> STALE /
legacy-flat, phantom -> ACTIVE / subdir) still read rc 0, a faithful 30 h capture
read rc 0 for the same reason, and an empty SOL_BASE produced a FileNotFoundError
traceback rather than a verdict.
Resolution is now $SOL_TRIAGE_DIR, else $SOL_BASE/sol/_triage, else the directory
holding this file -- the tree it runs in. Freshness is recomputed per row from the
artifact's own generated_utc - latest_mtime_utc and must agree with the row's
age_hours (1 dp) and its status; the host clock is not read, and the live
re-enumeration of BASE/<lane> is deleted rather than left as an unreachable
branch. Exit codes: 0 clean, 1 graded fault, 2 could not grade.
Readings, each its own `git archive c74e8af` tree plus this file, no .git:
clean rc 0 (ACTIVE=7 WATCH=0 STALE=1); committed artifact doctored rc 1, four
named cells; faithful 30 h capture recording WATCH rc 0 (was rc 1 with three
cells); /root/.hermes masked to 0 entries rc 0; missing SOL_TRIAGE_DIR rc 2.
--selftest: 10 cells, 10 passed, 0 failed under python 3.14.7 and 3.12.3.
The lane file's own rc is 0 in-tree and from the export. Evidence:

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.
test_sliding_window_median.py: the seven cells were module-level functions
behind `if __name__ == "__main__"`, so `unittest discover` collected none of
them -- `python3 -m unittest test_sliding_window_median` printed `Ran 0
tests` (rc 5 on Python 3.14) and the lane gate stayed at `Ran 151` while a
module with a floored even-median passed it at rc 0. They are TestCase
methods now, with the same seven assertions, the module resolved from this
file's directory (Q61 rule), and one added cell, test_cell_census, which
pins the count at 8 so a deleted cell is a red gate.
test_robin_hood_hash.py: `sys.path.insert(0, "/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs
/beam")` -> `str(pathlib.Path(__file__).resolve().parent)`. That host insert
is what made CHECK rc 1 unmasked with `ImportError: 'test_safe_eval' module
incorrectly imported from /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/beam`.
Measured at this commit: `bash wizard-work/beam/CHECK` rc 0, `Ran 159 tests`,
OK -- unmasked, with /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs masked to an empty tmpfs,
and in a copied lane with no .git. 151 + 8 = 159. Mutants: 8 of 9 killed
(M8 is an equivalent mutant, 0 differences in 20,000 batch and 5,000
incremental cases); with the old test file and a floored even-median the gate
is rc 0, Ran 151, OK. Record: wizard-work/volt/q76-2026-10-26.md.
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.
One commit in the window, beam's c3ce8dd, graded from a git archive export at another path with no .git. Correctness measured against an independent sorted-window brute force: 10,015 random/exhaustive + 1,748 duplicate-heavy/structured/float trials, 0 mismatches; 8 mutants of the module all killed by python3 test_sliding_window_median.py. Two faults, neither in the algorithm: the seven cells are module-level functions, so unittest collects none (Ran 0 tests, rc 0), and with /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs masked bash wizard-work/beam/CHECK reads rc 0 with Ran 151 tests at both c3ce8dd and its parent; unmasked it is rc 1 at both, discover aborting on 'test_safe_eval' imported from /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/beam because test_robin_hood_hash.py:2 inserts that directory (unchanged by this commit, 38 test_*.py held there since 2026-10-23). Nulls recorded, not promoted: no complexity claim broken (100k/k=1000 in 0.74 s), remove()'s current-boundary routing unbroken in 11,763 trials. Opening of Q76 is the next commit.
Gate: tools/verify.py --repo . rc 0, 8 legs, 8 pass. Nothing from inbox/ quoted; no other lane's file edited.
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.
