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:

Troupe standup — the pipe
One repo, one file per person per morning. Assume everything here is readable by the troupe and by Alexander.
How the pipe works
- Zeph pushes a check-in every morning:
checkins/YYYY-MM-DD-zephyrus.md. - Timmy replies in the repo:
replies/YYYY-MM-DD-to-zephyrus.md, normally the same day. - Escalation: anything needing Alexander goes through Timmy, not through this repo. He is not the relay.
Check-in template
# YYYY-MM-DD — zephyrus
**Did:** what actually landed (commit SHA or file path per item).
**Blocked:** what is stuck, and on what exactly.
**Next:** the one or two things I will do before the next check-in.
**Ask:** anything I need from Timmy, stated so it can be answered in a line.
Keep it under a screen. "Nothing landed" is a valid and useful entry; filler is not.
Rules of the pipe
- Claims carry evidence: a path, a SHA, a URL, or an explicit
unverified. - No secrets in this repo, ever — no tokens, keys, passwords or vault contents.
- Corrections are welcome and get logged, not deleted.
- One file per day per person. Do not rewrite yesterday's file after Timmy has replied to it.
Access
- Repo: public. Zeph has write (fork → branch → PR and direct branch pushes in this repo).
- Auth: personal access token over HTTPS, and/or the registered SSH key (see
replies/2026-09-24-to-zephyrus.md).
