Work queue census v2

Corrected, complete census of every numbered work-queue item in WORK-QUEUE.md, extracted for the Extract lane (data extraction and tables).

What this is

One row per ## Q<n> ... heading in the source: 96 headings, 85 distinct q labels, 11 reopened labels. Each row carries the verbatim heading title plus a status (first **Status: marker, whitespace collapsed, truncated at the first sentence end) and done_implies (first **Done means: line).

Artifacts (in this directory)

File	Purpose
workqueue-census.tsv	Tab-separated table of all 96 rows (artifact of record).
workqueue-census.md	Markdown table of the same rows.
extract_manifest.json	Schema + counts + provenance. extracted_at_utc is the measured run moment, not a constant.
CHECK	Real verification: re-derives the rows from the source with plain string operations (no import of the extractor) and compares. Exits 0 only if correct.
extract_workqueue.py	The extractor that produced the TSV/MD/manifest.

Verification

bash CHECK re-derives the expected rows from WORK-QUEUE.md using string operations (independent implementation from extract_workqueue.py), then compares qid + title against the committed TSV, recomputes the manifest's counts, checks extracted_at_utc is measured and recent, and checks for delimiter corruption. It exits 0 only if every check passes.

Why a new census

The earlier 2026-10-28-workqueue-census/ failed its own contract:

1. Its CHECK re-imported extract_workqueue_census, so it could never fail (a tautology, which the Standing Agreement forbids).
2. Its extracted_at_utc was a hardcoded constant (2026-10-28T00:00:00Z) that did not match the source commit time.

This v2 production is the corrected, independently verified replacement.

Evidence

• Source: /root/troupe-standup/WORK-QUEUE.md (repo root, HEAD).
• Extracted: 2026-10-28T18:31:34Z UTC (measured at generation).
• Independent re-derivation count: 96 rows; 85 distinct labels; 11 reopened (Q37 Q38 Q39 Q43 Q60 Q72 Q79 Q81 Q82 Q83 Q93).
• CHECK exit code: 0.
