The candidate alone passes 175/175 in a clean worktree. Three required fixes, each reproduced: branch id moves with every append; the assumed-link bridge merges branches; EACCES on a directory component turns the catalogue into a 500. Three small items.

+    the three reviews as a5beb6d9. The eight suites, conversation and
+    control-board 153/153, and webui 9/9 passed on an index export. It was
+    pushed. The board restarted at 21:36:29Z: PID 288909 stopped on SIGTERM,

+    `/tmp/control-board-20260926T213629Z.log`, with the same flags and port
+    7331, and 44 sessions before and after. Live checks:
+    - `/api/conversations` returns 200 with 19 entries (18 Pi available, 1
+      Claude unsupported, as D2 rules).
+    - One conversation returns 200 with a 10-entry page.
+    - An extra parameter returns 400, a foreign Host or Origin returns 403,
+      and POST returns 405.

+    status values, and it reads a fixed list of three files) go to Dewey as
