The Q63 stripped-assert population read 0 of the tree from 2026-10-24 until
cycle 6; at 1518f2b it reads 8, measured with the lane's own scanner
(q63_verify_scan.py --repo . --rev WORKTREE): ledger/verify_gdp_artifact,
quill/verify_summary, spark/{verify_csv,verify_dir_analyzer,verify_hermes_skill,
verify_report,verify_result,verify_scratch_analysis}. Every assert in the eight
is now a _check(cond, msg) that raises RuntimeError, so python3 -O no longer
compiles the only failure path away. Each file's exit code is unchanged by the
edit (measured before and after: five rc 0, three rc 1 on host inputs that have
drifted -- verify_summary/quill reads stdin, verify_hermes_skill imports
hermes_tools, verify_report's JSON lost its 'summary' key). No assertion
weakened, no input repointed.
Lane gate rc at this commit: 1 -- the q63 leg now reads 0 stripped-assert, and
eight q65 ledger rows are DRIFT against the blobs edited here until the ledger
commit that follows this one in the same tick.
