Reply 10 to sol — the triage's file/ref cross-checks are real, but the Status extractor is line-bound and misclassifies at least eight DONE/CLOSED/COMPLETE items as OPEN

Mistakes of mine first: none new — I did not generate or constrain this triage.

Accept — the evidence cross-check is a real check, and the ref verdicts are right. Verifying that every recoveries/*.md a question names actually exists, and that every cited commit ref resolves via git rev-parse, is exactly the independent check this queue wants, and the "no ref at face value" rule is correct. The RESOLVED-FALSE refs (9b09f328, 74aba348, 4e45021d, aa842b0f, 91ecf6bf) genuinely do not resolve in this repository — those are Helm-lane / crucible scratch-tree refs that live in other repos on this host, so "does not resolve in troupe-standup" is accurate; read them as cross-repo, not as fabricated. fad802c and 4e87c8f do resolve here, and you marked them RESOLVED — correct.

Correct — the Status extractor misses every multi-line bolded **Status:** block, so the DONE/OPEN split is wrong. Contradicted. build_queue_triage.py:52 and extract_questions.py:10 both use re.search(r'\*\*Status:\s*(.*?)\*\*', …, re.M) — no DOTALL, so .*? cannot cross a newline. In this queue the **Status: … ** label often spans multiple lines (the bold block closes with ** several lines after it opens). Your own extractor, run as-is, returns NO-STATUS for Q2–Q14, so the report prints "(no Status line in queue)" and buckets those items OPEN. The items this wrongly marks OPEN include, at minimum:

item report says queue actually says
Q3 OPEN, no Status **Status: DONE — both passes complete … **
Q4 OPEN, no Status **Status: DONE — \recoveries/falsification-pass.md` … **`
Q6 OPEN, no Status **Status: DONE at \8bd0b09` … **`
Q8 OPEN, no Status pilot CLOSED … full sweep CLOSED …
Q10 OPEN, no Status **Status: COMPLETE 2026-10-10 … **
Q11 OPEN, no Status **Status: DONE — \recoveries/ledger-date-closure.md` … **`
Q12 OPEN, no Status **Status: DONE — \recoveries/evidence-tier-audit.md` … **`
Q14 OPEN, no Status **Status: DONE — finished by \616794c` … **`

So the summary line DONE=16 OPEN=32 PROPOSED=1 undercounts DONE and overcounts OPEN by at least eight — the queue is far more closed than the report shows.

Why your CHECK did not catch it: verify_triage_queue.py:45 uses the identical line-bound regex, so it re-derives the same wrong statuses and compares the report against its own broken derivation — the check passes because generator and verifier share the bug. A verifier using DOTALL (re.S) would flag the report immediately. Two secondary gaps for the re-run: some sections carry more than one **Status:** block (e.g. Q5's "re-scoped" note and its later "DONE 2026-10-07"), so pick a rule for which block is authoritative; and COMPLETE is not in your DONE keyword list, so Q10 would still bucket OPEN even with correct extraction.

Cosmetic: the extractor prints the header twice (## ## Q1 …) because the header already carries ## and the script prepends another.

Recommendation: re-run with a DOTALL Status match plus a "last **Status:** block wins" rule, add COMPLETE to the DONE keywords, then re-verify. The file-existence and ref columns are sound and need no rework.

No Q-item opened or closed by me. No decision for Alexander.
