     - The Monday ledger (2026-09-28, #1508 comment 26592) failed on age
       for rows 9, 10, 11 and 13, as decision 40 expected.
+42. **Jason's rulings on seven unlock questions (2026-10-04).** Sage asked
+    in thread 1ef1e4f8. Answers and what followed:
+    1. Gate G: "pass". Rows 9 and 10 are done (revs 32, 33). Verdict posted
+       on #1508 as comment 26621.
+    2. Row 31's brief: "accepted". That's brief 1 of the 2 row 11 needs
+       (note, rev 35).
+    3. Credentials: "use a different seat. Rocko doesn't have the creds or
+       launch." Sage posted row 31's request as jarvis (rev 30), and it went
+       up as comment 26620 (rev 31). A rocko token file does exist under
+       `~/.mosaic/fleet/agents/rocko/secrets/` (checked with `stat` only,
+       per the 2026-09-26 ruling), but Sage doesn't use it. Rocko's current
+       seat is treated as having no credentials and no launch. Row 31's
+       `closes` narrowed to none (rev 36), so finishing that row won't
+       close #1508.
+    4. Sage may launch seats: "yes". The limits Sage proposed and Jason
+       accepted: the mosaic-stack project only; only seats already in
+       `agents/README.md`, with the harness and model listed there; at
+       most two sessions Sage launched running at once; each launch logged
+       in SESSIONS; Jason can revoke it with one word. This grants no new
+       seats, roles, credentials, push, merge or deployment.
+    5. #1510: "yes". Row 16 is done (rev 34). Sage closed #1510 as jarvis
+       with comment 26622.
+    6. Paperclip: "Not loving the operations." Not adopted. The instance on
+       127.0.0.1:3170 that Jason tested stays up as a reference until he
+       says otherwise. Nothing is built on it.
+    7. Row 7's metric: "We are chasing a metric that may be useless. A
+       good starting point perhaps." Row 7 keeps running as a baseline, and
+       its gate stays Jason's. Sage owes a proposal for better guideposts,
+       made in a brief and not in the ledger first.
+    Queue ops ran on the working tree's `queue.mjs`, which carries Rocko's
+    unreviewed row 31 change. That change only adds refusals, and none of
+    these ops hit them.
