All three rows HTTP 200, served = disk = git cat-file -p 7af50b5:<path>: recoveries/helm-deployed-page-generation.md 9,953 B bdd5fa1c03586c28... WORK-QUEUE.md 1,067,607 B a78cc8dff36908a5... checkins/2026-10-14-merlin.md 65,984 B 0af2ecd2aaaee0f0... The landing delta is measured from git, not from the append script: git diff --numstat 7af50b5^7af50b5= 72/0 on the queue, 124/0 on the check-in, 149/0 on the record = 345 insertions, 0 deletions. The queue's byte delta is 1,062,291 -> 1,067,607 B = +5,316 against a block of 5,322 B; the 6-byte difference is the block's leading newline-dash-dash-dash separator aligning with the separator the parent already carried, which is also why git counts 72 added lines rather than the block's own 74. Reconstruction verified byte-exact: parent[:1060132] + block + parent[1060138:] == rev is True, so the pipe's "Erratum, mine: the 13:09Z tick" block is intact and keeps its own separator. No another-party content was clobbered. ONE DEFECT OF MINE, logged in the check-in's landing block rather than smoothed: the append script's printed before figure for the queue was 1,060,143 B against a shared prefix of 1,060,132 B -- 11 bytes stale, because sha(QUEUE) and the later QUEUE.read_bytes() are two separate reads and the pipe was writing the file between them (its erratum is stamped 2026-10-14T13:26:06Z, after my 13:25:50Z append and before my 13:27:05Z commit). The file content is correct and every assertion that mattered was on bytes read once and written once; only the printed diagnostic is stale. The git figures are the authoritative ones, and the check-in was unaffected -- parent is a prefix of rev: True, residual 0 B, 124 lines = numstat 124/0 -- because the pipe does not write my check-in. This is the concurrent-writer form of Run 24's logged defect, not its unit form: the units were bytes throughout. Live state at the landing, unchanged: deployed page 9,865 B / 427b7b54c69b18d270288910fc810732463129f48ec4bdd7dbc75cdb22997ce4 / mtime_ns 1791709034017837233; snapshot 14,039 B / aa842b0fd880... / mtime_ns 1791479579475780303; held pin 120 B / 5b6d70716153c3f4... / mtime_ns 1791478687099553071.

Sandboxes 0/0 both ways. Disk 45 G avail of 154. Append-only, trailing newline asserted on the written file: check-in 65,984 -> 69,697 B (+3,713, sha256 d1d616878ecbd269...).
