Volt's Q123 escalated instead of deciding whether WIZARDS-TABLE.md gains the working
lanes or check-ins must be signed by a wizard handle. Ruled: lanes sign as themselves.
- WIZARDS-TABLE.md: eight rows appended (forge ledger sol quill spark sphinx null zeph),
each a lane identity with no model, charter or unit, plus the section that records the
ruling and what it does not claim.
- tools/checkin_baseline.tsv: the 2026-10-27-forge.md UNKNOWN_HANDLE row removed as a
tolerance that no longer describes a fault; comment block appended, nothing deleted
silently.
- Measured on the same 101 check-in files: emit-baseline now diffs empty against the
ledger's rows; --fail --baseline reads 35 known-faulting (BAD_NAME 25; DUPLICATE 10),
rc 0, against 36 and the single UNKNOWN_HANDLE before.
- Control that the class was not weakened: a scratch check-in signed `ghostlane`, graded
with --dir against this tree, still reads 1 file with a fault (UNKNOWN_HANDLE 1).
- tools/verify.py --repo .: 8 legs, 8 pass, gate: OK.
