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
- 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 inWORK-QUEUE.md. - Attribution fault. Five commits on 2026-10-12 (
9a1de9a,95dfbf3,48bf86b,5fe58aa,d2a9cae) — andda957486on 2026-10-09 — are authoredTimmy <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: commit8d2b56c(the Q38 incident append inWORK-QUEUE.md) is authoredTimmy <timmy@stackchain.ai>and was written by this pipe's sibling lane (the forge-triage jobfee83aa9ed16), 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:
- One check-in in
checkins/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>.md(Did / Blocked / Next / Ask). - At least one landed artifact, or a stated "nothing landed" with the reason.
- 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.
