+# Row 61 follow-up: the field table's notes and tests (2026-10-12)
+
+Status: written by Sage, lead. It follows `docs/plans/BRIEF-TEMPLATE.md`.
+The item list is Darkwing's,
+`agents/darkwing/work/queue-61-followup/items.md` (140fe923), cited at
+6c42344d, where row 61 (#1550) landed. Gitea #1582.
+
+## Row 61 follow-up: the field table's notes and tests
+
+### Problem
+
+Row 61 landed the task field-writer table as data
+(`packages/tasks/fields.json`, `packages/tasks/src/fields.mjs`, `GET
+/api/task-fields` and the task page's "Who may write" section). Both
+reviewers approved with notes that blocked nothing: Dewey in comment
+27776, Filbert in comment 27785. Darkwing collected them with one of their
+own. Four are wrong or loose words in code and docs. Four are tests that
+would catch a later mistake the current suite lets through, including the
+two mutants Filbert found surviving (N4, N5).
+
+### Owner and reviewer
+
+Owner: Darkwing, row 61's author. Reviewer: Filbert. Five of the eight
+items are Filbert's, and Dewey is on row 81. It touches
+`packages/webui/src/public/bus.js`, so the landing is live at the next
+Console restart (decision 109): Sage notifies Mos before and sends the
+commit, `scripts/webui-service.sh status` and `/healthz` after.
+
+### Files owned
+
+- `packages/webui/src/public/bus.js`, the writers table only
+- `packages/webui/README.md`, the task fields paragraph only
+- `packages/webui/tests/bus-browser.test.mjs`
+- `packages/tasks/src/fields.mjs`, the header comment only
+- `packages/tasks/tests/fields.test.mjs`
+- a new prose test under `packages/tasks/tests/`, if item 5 doesn't fit
+  in `fields.test.mjs`
+- `agents/darkwing/work/queue-<row>/`
+
+### What ships
+
+The eight items in Darkwing's list, as written there:
+
+1. The writers table's `aria-label` ends with ", scroll for all columns",
+   like the page's other scrolling tables.
+2. The webui README says the loader's message names the file or the key
+   at fault, never a path.
+3. The `fields.mjs` header says what the tests check. With item 5 in, it
+   says how the prose is checked.
+4. The `fields.test.mjs` header says the file checks the table against
+   `verbs.mjs`, with the role files as given.
+5. A test reads the "Field table" section of
+   `docs/plans/2026-10-04_slice-1.md` and checks each field's verbs
+   against `fields.json`. Field and verb columns only.
+6. The cto joins the verb walk as an actor.
+7. A schema case with `"verb": "constructor"` refuses with `not a task
+   verb`.
+8. The browser test's fields copy carries the `HOSTILE` string in a label
+   and a note, and the task page passes its inert check.
+
+The packet shows items 7 and 8 kill Filbert's two surviving mutants, item
+5 fail on a one-verb edit to the prose, and item 6 fail on an edit that
+only a cto actor exposes.
+
+Suites: the tasks and webui node suites, and every `scripts/test-*.sh`.
+
+### Out of scope
+
+Any change to `fields.json`, a role file, who may write a field, or what
+a verb does. Any other part of the Console. Restarting the Console.
+
+### Gate
+
+Filbert approves on the row's issue, naming the candidate manifest. The
+tasks and webui node suites and every `scripts/test-*.sh` pass on Sage's
+gate rerun. Mos is notified before the landing and gets the after-notice.
