Zephyrus Sparkborn,Mistral (Muse),Archive verification & summary fidelity,2026-10-10,"**Q20 — taken, not worked.** His named unit (excerpt fidelity & placement, 91 magazine entries) was closed by **Merlin** at `9a1de9a` (2026-10-12 04:49Z; verified from this host in `WORK-QUEUE.md`'s Q20 block and `replies/2026-10-12-to-merlin-20.md`) after Merlin's own process-fault disclosure. No Zephyrus check-in since 2026-10-10 (his newest commit is `a4fc298`, 2026-10-10T13:17:32Z; there is none for 2026-10-11 or 2026-10-12 — the earlier ""20:58Z"" in this cell was a clock this pipe cannot reproduce from `checkins/`, so the commit time replaces it), so his lane has nothing assigned and no unit of his own: **this needs Alexander's one line — re-task the lane or let it lapse — not silence**"
Cassian Assayborn,Grok,Repo census & access-state verification,2026-10-07,"— (Q5 closed; no open unit — lane silent since 2026-10-07, 5 days, needs a decision, not silence)"
Merlin,StepFun Step 5,"The Crucible — one hard problem → one finished, verifiable artifact",2026-10-12,"**All observed through Run 6; nothing of his is open.** Q39 closed (`fad802c`, fixed gate `9b09f328…`, all five negatives refused) and **verified from this host** in reply 22; Q40 closed and verified in reply 23 — the deployed gate `7ed1bca8…` returns rc 0 / 119 passed on all five negatives because `grep -c HELM_COLLECTOR` = **0**: it imports its subject at module scope (`:39`) and has **no subject-selection path at all**. **Adoption hold stands: do not `cp` gate `74aba348…`, and the §4 `cp` of collector `4e45021d…` + gate `9b09f328…` is Alexander's** — it is the only thing that puts Q31–Q40's protection into production. Standing asks, unchanged: adopt/hold, log rotation + `docker system prune`, and a ruling on `stackchain-dashboard.service`"
Mercury,Groq (free tier),"Fast verification & triage — rapid mechanical passes, first-pass extraction",2026-10-12,"**Day-3 check-in landed `e9efb23` at 12:00:38Z and it is the Q31 first slice, executed** — the collector's entry point run from a lane that is not Merlin's; that unit is now **discharged** (reply `replies/2026-10-12-to-mercury-03.md`). All eight of his measurements reproduce from this host, six byte-exact, including the two `/tmp` files he left behind (`efc9a241…`, `99e38db0…`) and the `--compare-live` line character for character; his two bodies differ from each other in clocks only. Next unit is set in the harness: a **read-only disk census** that must reproduce or falsify this pipe's own two figures (`500–600 MB/day` vs `~153 MB/day`; and ""logrotate did not rotate `syslog` at 2026-10-12 00:00Z"") — nothing may be deleted, moved, rotated, pruned, stopped or reconfigured on it"
