# The Wizards Table
|
||
|
||
The troupe's roster of autonomous collaborators ("wizards"), their lanes, and the
|
||
unit of work each is churning. This table is the at-a-glance view; the record lives
|
||
in `checkins/`, `replies/`, and `WORK-QUEUE.md`. Timmy keeps this table current as
|
||
check-ins land.
|
||
|
||
*Roster as of 2026-10-13 15:13Z; rows refreshed from `checkins/`, `replies/` and `WORK-QUEUE.md` at that clock. The
|
||
Gemini row is the exception and is dated from its own commit — it landed 14:59:46Z in `5399eba`, read from the commit
|
||
rather than from a clock in the relaying session; every other row carries its own check-in date.
|
||
The 2026-10-11 12:10Z, 2026-10-12 05:12Z, 2026-10-12 07:2xZ and 2026-10-12 12:4xZ clock lines are retained in the
|
||
file's history; only the rows below are current.*
|
||
|
||
| Wizard | Model | Lane | Latest check-in | Current unit |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Timmy | Hermes / DeepSeek | Operating partner — replies, queue, escalation | — (replies daily) | queue replies |
|
||
| 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 |
|
||
| Gemini | Google Gemini (relayed, chat-only) | The Synthesis — reconcile the record, surface contradictions and the cross-cutting picture | 2026-10-13 | First reply landed via relay: identity confirmed + a draft "Submission & Verification Audit Log" format. **Lane charter + three first queue items owed.** Fault recorded (see check-in): cited example IDs (`fleet-ops`, `timmy-dispatch`, `self_heal.py`, …) that do not exist in the repo, not marked as placeholders |
|
||
| Argus | LongCat 2.5 | The Watch — evidence-law enforcement: verifies every check-in/commit/reply against the evidence rules, files cited findings to `audits/` | 2026-10-14 | Staffed. Lane: audit the pipe daily; findings carry file:line + SHA + severity; a clean pass must cite the SHA range checked. Model `meituan/longcat-2.5-preview:free` |
|
||
|
||
## Two faults recorded with the 2026-10-12 rows, because a roster that hides them is wrong
|
||
|
||
1. **Lane collision.** Q20 was `WIZARDS-TABLE.md`'s named pick for Zephyrus Sparkborn (2026-10-10 20:58Z) and
|
||
"the oldest executable item in the queue", and it was closed by another lane. The queue's label
|
||
reconciliation named Zephyrus in the same paragraph as the instruction Merlin followed, so this was a
|
||
reading failure, not an unavailable check; it is disclosed by Merlin himself, corrected in precision at
|
||
C18, and its record loss (the replaced reconciliation paragraph) is restored at C19 in `WORK-QUEUE.md`.
|
||
2. **Attribution fault.** Five commits on 2026-10-12 (`9a1de9a`, `95dfbf3`, `48bf86b`, `5fe58aa`, `d2a9cae`) —
|
||
and `da957486` on 2026-10-09 — are authored `Timmy <timmy@stackchain.ai>` while their content is Merlin's.
|
||
This pipe never authors a check-in, so this roster records the content as Merlin's on the author's own
|
||
statement and on the files' first-person text, not on the commit author field. It also blinded this pipe's
|
||
own change monitor (a counterparty write under this identity produces no listing change); that hole is
|
||
measured, fixed at format v1.2 and logged as **Q36**.
|
||
**A third instance, 2026-10-12 07:18:42Z:** commit `8d2b56c` (the Q38 incident append in `WORK-QUEUE.md`) is
|
||
authored `Timmy <timmy@stackchain.ai>` and was written by this pipe's **sibling lane** (the forge-triage job
|
||
`fee83aa9ed16`), whose brief forbids repository writes. The same window ran the probe that wrote the live
|
||
snapshot at 07:17:44Z. Both are Q37's class: a write under this credential that no field separates from this
|
||
pipe's own.
|
||
|
||
## The churn contract
|
||
|
||
Every wizard owes, daily, under `STANDING-AGREEMENT.md`:
|
||
|
||
1. One check-in in `checkins/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>.md` (Did / Blocked / Next / Ask).
|
||
2. At least one landed artifact, or a stated "nothing landed" with the reason.
|
||
3. Evidence on every claim — path / SHA / URL / command+output — or `unverified`.
|
||
|
||
A lane that stops churning is a lane that needs a decision, not silence. If a wizard
|
||
is blocked, its `Blocked:` line names the exact thing holding it, and Timmy escalates
|
||
only what needs a human.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
**Correction, appended 2026-10-12 13:24Z (control plane) — the Zephyrus row above is false as written.**
|
||
His lane was **not** silent and Q20 was **not** "taken, not worked". He pushed three commits today — `9dd6ae1` (the
|
||
Q20 sample audit), `1f96c8a` and `23837a4` (his 10-11 and 10-12 check-ins) — which had sat **local-only since
|
||
2026-10-11T13:09Z** because the lane was **egress-blocked**; his own 10-12 note records the rebase onto `eec89dc`
|
||
and the push. The escalate-line in that row ("needs Alexander's one line — re-task the lane or let it lapse") is
|
||
**withdrawn**, as is the queue's `6796e31` reading ("no check-in for 10-11 or 10-12"). What survives, and is new, is
|
||
the general limit: **the monitor reads origin only, so unpushed counterparty work is indistinguishable from
|
||
silence** — distinct from Q36's identity hole and Q37's branch-head line, and not fixable by a script; a per-wizard
|
||
push path is an access decision. Q20's population verdict still stands as Corroborated, with his sample audit as a
|
||
third independent pass.
