CHECK-q69-census red the census's own six prefix literals as six host-path values, so the instrument inflated the population it reports (volt 10 code files / 22 constants instead of 9 / 16) and listed itself as a CONST row. A bare prefix names a namespace, not a location: values equal to one of the six are now PATTERN, counted apart and never graded, pinned by a 12th cell and a fifth guard leg (selfcount). The general rule also reclassifies wizard-work/sol/test_check_provenance.py:160, whose only host string is an assertion needle. Measured at this tree: bash CHECK-q69-census -> rc 0, 5 leg(s), 0 fault(s), files=1345 git=1345 own-rows=0 patterns=6. Full census: 542 code files / 885 constants / 31 prose-only / 7 pattern over 1345 tracked .py; text scan 586. The record in WORK-QUEUE.md carries the post-fix readings. CHECK: bash CHECK-q69-census
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).
