PR #1025's AC2 fixture (mkdir -p apps/*/venv/lib) does not do what it claims when the
glob is unmatched. rev-974 ran it exactly as written, caught the defect, re-ran the
intended assertion at an explicit path, and DISCLOSED the substitution rather than
silently reporting PASS.
Pre-registration protects a check from being retrofitted to the implementation. It
does not make the check correct. An unverified gate appeared inside the mechanism
built to catch unverified gates.
Requirement added to RM-02: the registry must self-verify that every registered case
actually runs and can actually fail — presence in the registry is not evidence.

D-7 resolution recorded. Mos verified attribution independently and reaped ~5.2G of
dead-session scratch as lead coordinator. The finding is the gap it exposed: the
authority to reap exists, the deterministic reaper does not.
Two doctrine points now binding on RM-50: (1) 'agents should tidy up' is
instructions-are-not-enforcement wearing another hat — a reaper must own it;
(2) refusing to unilaterally delete another session's scratch was correct, and the
fix is mechanically-decidable ownership/liveness, not braver deletion. Reaper
requirements specified: mechanical liveness (not mtime alone), age threshold,
dry-run, audit event per reap — never a heuristic sweep, which would reintroduce
the P-WORKFLOW-001 auto-sync failure in a more destructive form.
Board restructured into an explicit BOARD-ROLL zone and rolled with the framework's
own board-roll.sh (8432B -> 8014B, D-1 archived to BOARD-LEDGER.md) rather than
hand-trimmed. The tool exists precisely to stop coordinators hand-trimming; using it
is the dogfood.

D-1 RULED — corrected wire-in target is a new production Node TaskExecutor on the
LIVE dispatch path (packages/mosaic launch + packages/coord) that Coord/Forge/live
dispatch submit through. The Python rail is deleted, not ported. RM-21/26/27/52 updated.
D-2 — Jason-pending and explicitly NON-blocking. Binding meanwhile: the DB spine must
not be a single-point hard-stop; degraded mode + rollback artifact become design
requirements on RM-12/13/23/36/53. This reverses the earlier recommendation to
pre-commit 'no DB means the fleet stops'.
D-3 — RM-03 HOLD; PR #1023 marked SUPERSEDED-PENDING-JASON; RM-02/RM-55 proceed
independently since conformance assertion is not the gate-6 fix itself.
RM-03 now carries BOTH queue-guard defects: wrong exit on unknown, and evaluating
branch=main rather than the branch being pushed.
D-7 — shared 30G /tmp hit 100% ENOSPC, degrading two seats. ~5.2G of it is session
scratch dead for 8-9 days; this session's own footprint is 88K. Same missing
capability as P-FLEET-001 stale-session GC, applied to disk. Folded into RM-50, and
RM-01 gains artifacts-off-shared-tmp acceptance criteria.

TASK-1 complete. planner-opus (robustness, 38 tasks/8 dissents) and planner-sol
(pragmatic, 25 tasks/10 defers/7 dissents) each decomposed the 4-build plan without
seeing the other's work. Both decomps are committed alongside the reconciliation so
the disagreements stay auditable rather than being flattened into a consensus.
Reconciled into 58 tasks across P0-P5 (docs/remediation/TASKS.md):
- 7 independent convergences, treated as settled because neither planner could see
the other. The headline: BOTH reject the charter's wire-in point
(mosaic_orchestrator.py::run_single_task) because that controller is disabled and
references a dispatcher absent from this checkout — wiring it would produce a
stranded executor, the same built-but-unwired disease one layer up.
- 7 genuine disagreements ADJUDICATED, not averaged. The cost estimates are ~18x
apart; rather than split the difference, the plan adopts sol's scope with opus's
rigor and treats the first-dogfood gate as a hard budget checkpoint.
- 3 decisions escalated (wire-in point, rollback artifact + availability trade,
queue-guard ownership vs parked PR #1023). No task blocked on them is dispatched.
Keystone dogfood case recorded (TASKS.md 1a): merged PR #868 shipped a file failing
pnpm format:check, then an unrelated PR reformatted it as a side effect, so main went
green and the gate's failure to fire left no trace. Detection must therefore be
per-merge-commit against that commit's own tree.

dispatched for real on GUARANTEED-clean context, not requested-clean.

Closes#958.
The preimage definition (source-adapter.sh) is the single most consequential file in the wake pipeline — every observed_hash is a sha256 of what it emits — and it was UNVERSIONED: no git history, no backup. When it was edited at 07:27 on 2026-07-30, attribution was recoverable only because an agent transcript happened to still be on disk. A11 gives that file durable provenance (option (2) of #958: recorded content-addressed, not in-band).
DESIGN, per the pre-registration:
- Provenance is OUT-OF-BAND (never on the adapter's stdout) — an in-band record would advance observed_hash for every source at once and manufacture the re-baseline it exists to explain (B3).
- The obligation never depends on the provenance path: a missing/corrupt store cannot halt the detector or swallow a wake (#940 advisory-fields precedent; B4).
- DESC_FMT=d1 is NOT the provenance record — the tag versions the descriptor FORMAT; a behaviour change that keeps descriptor shape re-baselines every hash and leaves the tag unchanged (B6).
CREDENTIAL HARD GATE (rebuilt after the first verdict FAILED it): byte capture is now RECORD-ONLY BY DEFAULT (extras opt in via WAKE_PREIMAGE_CAPTURE), not allow-by-default-refuse-on-shape — because a shape list can only refuse the secrets someone already enumerated, and the tool's own usage text recommended adding detector.env (where HMAC material lives). Deny is evaluated on BOTH raw and resolved path forms with resolved anchors, ordered before allow — closing the realpath-before-deny ordering defect that let a renamed symlink target through.
VERIFICATION (reviewer, mos-dt, independent of the author's claims):
- Seven decoy cases by planted-marker-then-grep-whole-state-dir: known cred path / same-name symlink / RENAMED-target symlink / prefixed secret / prefixless secret / opted-in-symlink-to-DENIED-target all REFUSED; opted-in-symlink-to-ALLOWED-target CAPTURED (positive control that the harness can capture at all, and that C was not closed by breaking every symlink).
- Polarity-completeness self-test RE-RUN with the shape list stubbed always-allow AND both deny lists stubbed — case D still safe: the flip is complete, the shape list is not load-bearing. Each stub proven live first (a stub that silently fails to apply reports the dangerous state as safe).
- B11: rm-then-change fails LOUD (rc=1), refuses to re-baseline, leaves the ledger absent; absent-with-emptied-objects still first-installs cleanly (absent-is-not-corrupt not paid for by breaking first install).
- RED-first reproduced exactly P13-P16 pre-fix; each refusal corroborated three ways (loud stderr, ledger row captured:false WITH a hash so attribution survives refusal, objects/ holding only the adapter).
KNOWN RESIDUAL (filed #969, non-gating): the deny check is both-forms but the suite needles only the resolved form — a deny reduced to resolved-only survives 17/17 green and would leak a renamed-symlink case. No reachable leak at this head (shipped code correct on all seven decoys); it constrains a FUTURE edit. Doctrine: a both-forms fix needs a needle per form; a fixture that satisfies its assertion through a DIFFERENT rule is testing the rule it did not mean to test.

Closes#946.
The digest omitted a quarantined entry's claim from disclosure while still advancing the ack watermark it instructed the consumer to run — converting a fail-safe HOLD into a silent DISCARD, through the documented normal path. Measured: the burial instruction was re-issued FIVE times, four fresh digests plus one system-initiated redelivery fired purely because the entry had gone unconsumed for 1826s. That redelivery is the proof of the 'indefinitely' half: the mechanism re-asserted itself with no new information.
SCOPE — this was NOT a missing check in the consume path. Measured before the fix: dead-letter occurrences were digest.sh 27, store.sh 0, ack.sh 0, detector.sh 0, reconcile.sh 0. Quarantine was owned ENTIRELY by the renderer; the store that advances the watermark had zero knowledge the ledger existed, so an entry could be quarantined by one subsystem and consumed by another with no possible interaction. The fix is therefore a deliberate cross-module decision — option (b), quarantine recorded into a store-owned file, preserving the existing direction of dependency — pre-registered by the consumer before any diff existed.
VERIFICATION
- Pipeline 2107 terminal SUCCESS at e11bc6622, read clone-inclusive from the provider API rather than through `pipeline-status.sh` (which filters `.type != "clone"` per workflow and would hide a clone failure behind an all-green table): 9/9 children success, exit 0 each, no non-success member. Its `test` step runs all nine wake harnesses via turbo -> packages/mosaic `test` -> `test:framework-shell`.
- Independent review by the consumer on the affected lane: eleven pre-registered acceptance checks, authored and delivered BEFORE the diff was read — the file list deliberately unlooked-at, because a filename alone would have disclosed which option was chosen. All eleven resolved, no blocker.
- The check that decides it: a RAW `ack.sh consumed --upto N` with no digest involved must refuse to advance past a quarantined seq — the case an agent hits when a digest is MISSED, and the one that would have sunk a disclosure-only fix. Covered at the head as a named assertion (T13 ordinary-path bypass), written independently of the reviewer's list.
- Mutation: one asserted site disabled -> TWELVE assertions die, every one BEHAVIOURAL, ZERO count assertions, including one killing across the module boundary the fix spans.
- RED control at base a6b5f6a: 34 and 10 assertions fail, matching the body exactly.
- Coordinator re-verify by a different instrument than the reviewer used: static reference counts across the base/head boundary — store.sh 0 -> 49, ack.sh 0 -> 6, `--agent` unchanged at 4 (so #949 correctly stayed out). A fix present-but-inert passes the count and fails the mutation; a fix behaviourally correct but smuggling #949 passes the mutation and fails the count. Neither result is reachable by repeating the other.
KNOWN RESIDUALS
- The `consumed-hashes` repair criterion is met only for keys that RE-EMIT. A corrupted row whose key never recurs stays false indefinitely; the sweep covers those, and the known-false row named in the acceptance criteria had already self-healed by re-emission rather than by design — safe by population, not by design.
- The audit's clean-sweep message names one unprovable class; a second exists (a surviving dead-letter row with an empty `observed_hash` cannot be convicted either). Wording, not logic. Filed separately.
- The audit's provability bound makes dead-letter RETENTION load-bearing for auditability. Nothing prunes it today, so this is latent — but any future rotation or size cap silently converts provable rows into unprovable ones with no signal at either end. This is not a defect; it is a property that BECAME load-bearing and is recorded nowhere. Filed separately.
- `test-wake-detector.sh` D4 fails at this head AND identically at base, with an empty diff over detector files — pre-existing, tracked, not introduced here.

_has_hard_locator accepted only repo+issue / 40-hex sha / file — the forge vocabulary. The detector emits path (+snapshot_sha when attested) and NEVER emits file/issue/sha, so predicate and sole producer shared ZERO keys and every class=actionable board_file entry dead-lettered. Latent since #920, whose harness pinned the detector's own emission shape as its malformed example — the suite certified the gap it was written to guard.
Fix: `path` becomes a hard-locator arm, and ONLY path. Bare path-less snapshot_sha is a deliberate NON-arm (would widen past the board_file vocabulary); Q11(d) asserts it still quarantines at 7/40/64 chars, spanning the detector's ^[0-9a-f]{7,64}$ attestation range.
VERIFICATION
- Pipeline 2105 terminal-green at fa36da8. Its `test` step reaches all nine wake harnesses via turbo -> packages/mosaic `test` -> `test:framework-shell`, which names each suite explicitly. The two-levels-down indirection matters: no search of .woodpecker/* can see it, and that is exactly why this question was got wrong earlier today and then corrected. CI therefore DOES attest the quarantine suite and the detector suite at this head.
- Independent review (mos-dt, consumer on the affected lane) PASS at fa36da8, from a detached worktree: predicate provably unmoved from fb3c3c3 (comment-stripped sha256 identical, _has_hard_locator body byte-identical), RED control at base reproduced exactly 8 failures all Q11 including "got 6".
- Third reviewer (wake-judge) ACCEPT on both judgment calls: the Q1 assertion reversal is a legitimate correction (the flip was forced, not elective — base fixtures red 19 assertions against the head predicate) and path-alone satisfies §2.1, whose operative test is "one targeted call, never a search" — two of its four named exemplars already resolve to current state. Requiring path+snapshot_sha jointly would permanently dead-letter a declared source class and conflict with #940's advisory-fields ruling.
- Judge's mutation criterion met: with the reconciled exemption disabled, the gate-level assertion ("an ORIENTATION-tier enumeration must NOT be quarantined") dies at this head and did not exist as a casualty before F1.
- D4 (detector lock re-acquisition) fails intermittently at base AND head; git diff base..head over the detector files is EMPTY, so it is out of this PR's surface on structural grounds rather than on a re-roll. Known defect, fix identified (detector.sh:516, fd 9 leaked into sleep), tracked separately.
KNOWN RESIDUALS
- ENUM-B is now the sole address-free reconciled fixture, so the exemption's gate-level guard is a population of one. Safe by population, not by design. Author follow-up: assert ENUM-B carries no hard-locator arm so the harness guards its own premise.
- The binding spec (CONVERGED-DESIGN.md §2.1, separate repo) still enumerates four forge tokens and reads narrower than the shipped gate. Tracked as #948, sequenced after the dragon-lin reseed.
- Hard-locator arms are type-loose: repo/file/path accept any non-null JSON value. Pre-existing; `sha` fails closed only by accident of test(). Tracked separately.

grep is line-oriented, so a multi-line knob value passed the per-line anchors and was still fatal in arithmetic. Replaced with a case pattern matching the whole string, so an embedded or leading newline rejects. Manifest bumped 0.6.12 -> 0.6.13: three materially different detectors had shipped under one version string, and version= is the component sole self-identity claim.

The slack knob was interpolated raw into $((...)) under set -u: a malformed value was FATAL to the poll, falsifying the poll-never-fails invariant, and a negative value inverted the guard to deny-all. Shape validation alone was insufficient — bash reads a leading zero as octal, so 08/09 passed the regex yet were fatal and 0300 silently meant 192. Now validated ^[0-9]{1,9}$ with a loud fallback to 300, then forced to base-10 via 10# so the knob means what the operator wrote.

Adapter emits snapshot sha/ts out-of-band on fd 3 so a changing value never enters the delta-gate hash. Detector validates advisorily (sha regex, epoch sanity before arithmetic, future-skew slack); malformed metadata is dropped loudly and never gates the wake. Digest renders snapshot_sha/snapshot_ts plus a git-show re-verify hint. Adapters that never write fd 3 are byte-identical.
