#1033 mergedf4fd5967, verified by property: merged=true + merge commit, #1034 (delivery) CLOSED, #1000 (retirement trigger) still OPEN. The exemption is on main and RM-02 is unblocked. D-43 is mine. Compressing RM-02's board row to meet the 8KB budget, I turned "2 reviews clear" into "2 live REQUEST_CHANGES" — an inversion. Provider truth: reviews 63 and 65 are at superseded heads and live REQUEST_CHANGES atf9746b23is empty. The real state is subtler than either wording: no live blocker AND no live approval, because the head carries no review at all. Caught only by re-deriving RM-02's state from the provider before dispatching, not by re-reading the board. I was one message from briefing f10-coder to remediate two blocking reviews that do not exist. The transferable part: this board carries a hard <8KB budget, it exceeded that budget four times in one session, and each time I shaved prose to fit. Compression IS restatement, and this board's own rule is "REFERENCE, do not restate" (D-26) because restatement is lossy every time. The budget therefore forces the exact operation the board forbids, on its most load-bearing table. I flagged that as a risk earlier in the session; it then materialised as an actual error. Rule banked: meet a size budget by ROLLING content out to BOARD-LEDGER.md, never by rewording what stays. Deleting a row and pointing at its authoritative home is safe; paraphrasing to save bytes is not. Applied immediately — this commit rolls the Decisions-log narrative out verbatim rather than trimming it, and the board is back under budget at 8096. And the deeper one, onto RM-34: the orchestrator is the board's sole writer, so nothing external checks the board against reality. Code has rev-974, gates have the merge-gate, CI has the JSON scan — the control plane has no independent verifier. Handoff validation must include re-deriving the board's claims from the provider, not merely confirming a successor can read the file. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
