ledger: count issue-tagged commits and repo seat messages (#1506)

BUILD-LOG.md

@@ -2152,3 +2152,48 @@ one scan; the seat's attempt to agent-send back to `control-board` was
 refused, correctly, since the board has no pane. Fix: every board message
 ends with a fixed trailer saying to answer in the seat's own session.

+## 2026-09-12 — Ledger piece 3 intake (#1506)
+
+Before: no numeric report ties issue-tagged refactor commits to repo seat user
+messages. Darkwing owns packages/ledger and fixtures; independent review precedes
+commit/push to refactor. Brief and Gate D remain on the control-board plan page.
+Single-request constraint: Gitea caps issue lists at 50. Query issues updated
+since the start date, reject a full page as potentially incomplete, and show
+unknown metadata for commit-referenced issues absent from that response.
+The live date-range query returned 19 issues; the unfiltered query hit the cap.
+No pagination, credential inspection, fleet reads, or unrelated source changes.
+
+## 2026-09-12 — Ledger implementation ready for review (#1506)
+
+After: packages/ledger provides the read-only CLI, two tables, JSON and explicit
+unknown values. Fixtures pass 20/20; combined ledger, board, seat and registry
+Node suites pass 202/202. Syntax and diff whitespace checks pass. No root CI
+workflow exists, and no live/task/release suite or deployment is claimed.
+Live run for September 6 through 12 succeeded after fixing the existing
+gitea-api.sh cleanup trap: a no-body GET used to return 1 even on HTTP 200.
+The one-line fix has offline GET 200, POST 201 and GET 403 regressions.
+LEDGER-1506-R1 sent to Filbert on default socket via agent-send.sh, exit 0,
+transport dispatched with application acceptance unknown. Exact candidates and
+pre-publication totals are in reviews/2026-09-12_ledger-review-request.md.
+Waiting for his verdict before publication; he owns the reply wake. No timer.
+
+Ledger verification addendum #1506: clean HEAD-plus-candidate Node suite 202/202.
+First clean copy omitted tools/tmux, so the board executable-presence test failed;
+restoring that tracked dependency fixed the test setup, with no source change.
+Concurrent control-board planning commit db0d784b included the CURRENT intake
+line while adding DEFERRED.md. Reconciled and preserved it; candidate source
+hashes unchanged. Gitea progress comment 26061 records review and test status.
+
+## 2026-09-12 — Ledger independent approval and publication gate (#1506)
+
+Filbert APPROVED LEDGER-1506-R1, independently ran 20/20 offline fixtures,
+verified all six pinned SHA-256 hashes, and reproduced the GET cleanup defect.
+Darkwing reverified those hashes and the shared worktree before integration.
+Review: docs/plans/reviews/2026-09-12_ledger-verdict.md. Helper hardening is
+recorded in DEFERRED.md, not silently added to the reviewed patch. Correction
+to the review provenance wording: db0d784b also includes the CURRENT intake
+line, not only DEFERRED.md; its diff on the six candidate paths is still empty.
+Publication is authorized to refactor only. Gate D and #1506 closure await
+Jason writing a sentence with a measured number into CURRENT.md. No WebUI,
+fleet, live deployment, role changes or unrelated files are part of this commit.
