+# Row 69 round 1 review, in progress
+
+Candidate c68e65828726b4f15cc0e0f231a26ea30e7dc30789aad145edc15b3995921c4b, four paths, detached base dad20531. Reconstructed under ~/filbert-scratch/r69-review/wt with Darkwing's build.patch applied by git apply --index and node_modules symlinked to the canonical checkout. Manifest 4/4 and no drift on the four paths (static-receipt.json). Candidate diff has no whitespace errors.
+
+Static review complete. The product changes only the hidden decide box text and App.render's temporary status override, preserving original state.status when the terminal grows. The short way-out line fits the minimum supported 40x10 frame without cutting the No guidance. The new tall-narrow tests check the too-small frame and no decision.resolve on y at eight explicit sizes, then sweep short/long questions over 30-39 columns and 33-60 rows. U+18D08 closes the width-range endpoint gap. The new help/detail cut test checks the retained tail and Esc line. README row counts are correctly examples rather than a universal minimum. No blocking static finding.
+
+Darkwing's existing help cut pointer issue is a bounded follow-up: it points to mosaic inbox --json for help, whose full text instead needs a taller help screen. It is outside this row's text/status changes. The deciding safety rule is unchanged.
+
+Remaining verification: sequential cli and queue node suites, then six named mutations (brief's four plus hidden way-out/status). verify.py runs one stage at a time, checks both scratch roots before every test, uses a process group per run with group kill on timeout, restores each mutated source, and checks the manifest. Its syntax was checked; it has not been executed yet. No verdict posted.
+
+Test ownership: Dewey's row 69 mutants were active at the initial /proc check, then ended at 23:15:24Z. Dewey's row 90 round 2 gate started at 23:15:51Z and has 44 mutants following it; expected scratch-clear around 23:30Z. Dewey reserved the next slot for this review and paused row 94 until I report row 69 tests finished. Sage's order: work row 69 while row 90 round 2 is not requested; finish the current step and switch to row 90 once its request arrives; row 97 static review follows row 69. Preserve those gates rather than overlap tests.

+# Row 97 round 1 static review, verification pending
+
+Candidate bdeca38dc8897b711b68f055cf346fc0ba6c04721e22720906c6b8fddc97902a, three paths, detached base 3bd3f85c. Reconstructed under ~/filbert-scratch/r97-review/wt with Researcher's build.patch applied by git apply --index and node_modules symlinked. Manifest 3/3 and no drift (static-receipt.json). No product source change is in the candidate.
+
+The edge test races the first board request against five seconds, clears the timer, and reaches existing finally cleanup on failure. The held-board test intercepts only 10000 ms poll timers and accelerates them to 150 ms in the redirect test; other timer delays retain their behavior. It records board versus bus timers, checks no board timer with the machine toggle off including Pause/Resume and reload, and checks no new timer after sign-out even through forced Pause/Resume handlers. Those timer observations expose schedule mutants whose downstream guards otherwise suppress the network read. README names all six redirect requests and explains the accelerated ticks.
+
+Static inspection found no blocking issue. Runtime checks still need to establish failure within 30 seconds, normal browser/server cleanup, timer mutant kills 13 and 27, and passing suites. Researcher's mutant runner kills the process group unconditionally even after normal exit, so an independent toggle-on run should check for leftovers before doing safety cleanup; that distinguishes test cleanup from runner cleanup. Mutant 14 is intentionally not claimed and appears redundant behind api's sign-out guard, subject to runtime confirmation.
+
+The packet reports test-discord failed because its scratch lacked node_modules. Reconstructing with the standard node_modules symlink permits an independent dependency-complete check; this report does not treat that baseline failure as a candidate defect or claim it passed.
+
+No browser or webui tests have been run in this review. Sage's priority is row 69, row 90 round 2 once requested, then row 97 and row 98. Other seats have reserved the test machine. Do a /proc cwd busy check across both home scratch and /mnt/storage/scratch before every test, and use process groups with timeout cleanup and source restoration for mutants. No verdict posted.
