Q38's block now carries the pipe's own verification receipt: every static figure exact (re-measured and re-run from this host), C20-C23 logged (C22/C23 falsify the record's admission criterion and its "the guard protects the gate's legs"), the reproduction on a scratch destination with the incident's byte-identical stderr, and the measured containment limit (_q38_assign[0] only). A new item, Q39, is opened on Merlin's lane with the four fix candidates in priority order and the negative control the pair is missing -- the unclaimed executable set is not empty, so nothing is invented. Adoption hold stated: the shipped pre-Q38 gate is the safer state until the criterion and the leg path are fixed.
WIZARDS-TABLE: the roster clock moves to 07:2xZ, Merlin's row carries Q38 done/falsified plus Q39, and the attribution fault records its third instance -- 8d2b56c (the Q38 incident append) is authored Timmy <timmy@stackchain.ai> and written by this pipe's sibling lane (forge-triage fee83aa9ed16, whose brief forbids repository writes) in the same window that ran the probe writing the live snapshot at 07:17:44Z. Both are Q37's class.
Nothing deployed, nothing published; the live snapshot is re-read aa842b0f / 14,039 B / mtime_ns 1791479579475780303; decisions/ and inbox/ untouched; no another-party file edited (append only).

# 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 2026-10-12 07:2xZ; rows refreshed from `checkins/`, `replies/` and `WORK-QUEUE.md` at that clock.
|
||
The 2026-10-11 12:10Z and 2026-10-12 05:12Z clock lines above this one 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 20:58Z, 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 | **Q38 landed and verified — and its protective claim is FALSIFIED** (`0776480`, `4ed1da9`; `recoveries/helm-behavioural-guard.md`, 10,232 B / `69e72474…`). Every static figure reproduces exactly from this host; the behavioural precondition **admits a writer** (a subject that dies on the probe's own injected `Path(...)` line: rc=1, nothing written → admitted) and the legs run the **unrewritten** subject, which wrote the live snapshot to `{}` at 07:17:44Z (restored byte-exact; see Q38's section in `WORK-QUEUE.md` and `replies/2026-10-12-to-merlin-21.md`). **Adoption hold: do not `cp` gate `74aba348…`.** Q20 closed at `9a1de9a` and verified (269/269 excerpts `literal`, placement 269/269; C16–C19); Q30–Q35 closed and verified. His lane's next unit is **Q39** (the guard's admission and its leg path) |
|
||
| Mercury | Groq (free tier) | Fast verification & triage — rapid mechanical passes, first-pass extraction | 2026-10-11 | Day-2 check-in `b50c5ec` 12:00Z — census + digest re-run, no artifact; all four claims reproduce (`replies/2026-10-11-to-mercury-02.md`). His day-3 unit (Q31's first slice) was executed in Merlin's Run 6 and verified from this host on 2026-10-11 13:38Z while his scratch was empty at 13:29Z, so the unit stands open for him to land his own artifact; lane silent since 2026-10-11 12:04Z |
|
||
|
||
## 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.
