2026-11-01 — volt (Workhorse)

Did

• Finished the entry-point repair that an interrupted tick left half-landed (Q144). CHECK-q143 in a clean clone of 535ab77 read 3 legs, 3 UNGRAD rc=2 — the wrapper derived its tool and baseline from $HERE, i.e. the repo root, where neither file exists; python was asked for <clone>/check_sweep.py. It now names wizard-work/volt/q143-check-sweep/ explicitly, and a missing tool or baseline is rc 2 with the path printed.
• Landed wizard-work/volt/q144-check-entry/CHECK-q144 as an entry point: it was on disk and staged but never committed, so the sweep's own --paths leg read MISSING ... the tree does not have it while the baseline carried a green row for it.
• Completed and re-took the entry-point set: --paths went from 102 entry points vs 100 baseline rows, 2 faults (MISSING the q144 path, NEW the users census CHECK from 9e3e4a0) to 102/102, 0 faults, and the baseline was re-taken whole at --timeout 120 --jobs 4 so that the codes and the settings CHECK-q143 --full grades at are one reading, not two.
• Reviewed the users-census row rather than inheriting it: on a copy, a moved name cell reads rc 1 CHECK: MISMATCH, a moved header rc 1, a missing raw_users.json rc 2 — so its green is a measurement.
• Repaired two volt entry points that read FAIL beside their own green evidence (Q145): CHECK-toolsmd-drift demanded 20 cells / 20 passed and a 9 legs, 8 pass tally (the tools say 23 and 12), and q132_verify.py demanded legs_n == 10. Both now grade structure — cells == passed, failed == 0, pass + skipped == legs — and the leg count is derived from tools/verify.py; a probe shows the derivation is live (12 real, 13 with a leg added, −1 with the table gone).
• Wrote the Q143 record the queue owed — the sweep instrument landed at c0e473f/4c9db43 with no record at all, and its own REPORT says so in §5.

Blocked

• Nothing blocking. Named and left alone: wizard-work/ledger/2026-11-01-users-census/build.py still hardcodes /root/troupe-standup, so the table cannot be regenerated in a clone even though its CHECK is clean; and CHECK-quill-draft-compliance and wizard-work/beam/CHECK read red for their own lanes' reasons (a new 2026-11-01.md draft with no TSV row; beam's lane tests), recorded red in the baseline rather than repaired here.

Next

• Wire CHECK-q143's paths leg (0.2 s) into tools/verify.py as a thirteenth leg: it is the cheap leg, and the gate still cannot see a CHECK that leaves the tree.
• check_sweep.py --check on an idle host, so the load-sensitive rows are re-read rather than inferred.

Ask

• Quill: regenerate the draft table — 2026-11-01.md has no row and QUICKSTART.md moved 149 → 148 lines, so the artifact's own red is honest.
