mos-dt-0andClaude Opus 5 b705a4dae9 docs(remediation): sharpen D-8 — the conformance harness must itself be conformance-tested
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci Pipeline was successful
Per Mos. Two requirements, both load-bearing:

RM-02: the gate registry must SELF-VERIFY that every registered case demonstrably
runs and demonstrably fails on a known-bad input. Presence in the registry is not
evidence. A check is not trusted until it has been shown to fail. This is mutation
testing / negative control at the registry level — the conformance harness must
itself be conformance-tested. RM-55 inherits the same recursion: the harness must be
observed red before its green means anything.

Reviewer disclosure: rev-974 could have silently substituted a working fixture and
reported AC2 PASS, and nothing would have caught it. The 'if a check is unrunnable,
say so rather than silently substituting' clause is what makes a PASS mean anything,
and must appear in every reviewer brief this mission issues.

mos-dt-0andClaude Opus 5 f8b65463ab docs(remediation): bank D-8 — a pre-registered check that was not runnable as written
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci Pipeline was canceled
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.

fb3221af27 docs(remediation): D-7 reaper doctrine into RM-50; adopt board-roll for the LIVE board
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci Pipeline was canceled
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.

1324385bba docs(remediation): apply Mos rulings on D-1/D-2/D-3; bank D-7 tmpfs ENOSPC
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.

ba98f88891 docs(remediation): reconciled execution backlog from two independent decompositions
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.

4fcbf7c07e docs(remediation): board reflects actual state + 4 dogfood findings from startup
Corrects the premature "DISPATCHED" planner line (per Mos): both planners are now
dispatched for real on GUARANTEED-clean context, not requested-clean.

Records Mos rulings: mission.json is retired-rail residue (do not invest); gate-16
holds on interim mos-dt-0 since rev-974 reviews; remote-control path is Mos-relay.

Captures 4 live failure classes observed while standing this seat up (D-1..D-4),
including an agent that silently ignored an in-message context reset — direct
evidence for the postmortem thesis that instructions are not enforcement.

# RM-02 / PR #1030 — PRE-REGISTERED RE-REVIEW: the merge-base anchor round
**Subject head (exact):** `fbb61912981abb250d289ec7aafd4316db6fdb11`
**Supersedes:** the second NO-GO at `32b490a7` (D-45/D-46/D-47). That verdict is VOID.
**Registered by:** `mos-remediation` **before any reviewer read the diff.** **Reviewer:** `rev-974`.
## What the orchestrator already reproduced (do not re-spend the review here)
- Derived boundary `f4fd5967` **equals** an independently computed `git merge-base HEAD origin/main`.
- Emptying `criteria`/`gates`/`proseClaims`/`compatibilityScenarios` now fails with
_"population must be non-empty and anchored before evaluation"_.
- The both-directions bootstrap statement is present in `gate-history.mjs` with the Builds 12 residual.
## A — attack the ANCHOR (highest value)
| id | check |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **A1** | `targetRef` is the literal `refs/remotes/origin/main`. **Who controls that ref in the environment where the gate runs?** Can a PR author influence it — a `remote.origin.url` rewrite, a crafted `refs/remotes/origin/main` in their own clone, a push to a fork's `main`? If the gate trusts a locally-writable ref, the anchor moved from the manifest into git config. |
| **A2** | **Absent/stale target:** if `refs/remotes/origin/main` is missing, stale, or the fetch is shallow, does it fail CLOSED (line 57 suggests it does) or silently derive a narrower range? |
| **A3** | **Delayed introduction — the round-2 attack, re-run.** Commit a gate change BEFORE adding the manifest. Does it now stay in range and fail the own-tree read? |
| **A4** | **Branch from an old main:** branch from a point far behind `origin/main`, so merge-base is old. Does the range widen correctly (safe) or include unrelated main commits that cannot carry manifests (a new false-red)? Over-inclusion is the natural failure mode of this fix. |
| **A5** | Is the **bootstrap residual** recorded as a **tracked dependency on Builds 12**, not prose? (D-19's third mandatory move.) |
## P — the non-empty/anchored precondition
| id | check |
| ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **P1** | Does the precondition run **before** every quantified check, on **every** path — or only the ones the author enumerated? Find a quantified check that still runs before its precondition. |
| **P2** | **Seven required gate IDs anchored to canonical sources** — can that anchor list itself be emptied, shrunk, or pointed elsewhere? An anchor list the author edits is D-45 again, one level in. |
| **P3** | The author reports finding and REMOVING a **production CLI fixture-profile bypass** in their own pre-commit review. **Verify it is gone from the shipped CLI path**, that the remaining relaxation is test-support only and non-executable in production, and that the CLI rejection is tested. This was self-disclosed — confirm it independently. |
## Q — clauses quantified over the population (D-47)
| id | check |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Q1** | `gateRefs` **exactly spans** every registered gate. Can a gate be added WITHOUT a corresponding ref — i.e. does adding a gate to the population escape the clause? |
| **Q2** | Deleting `gateRefs`, or shrinking gates and refs **together**, must fail. Shrink-together is the D-46 shape; verify it is a genuine control and not a regression guard mislabelled. |
| **Q3** | Do the population controls **iterate all seven gates** and mutate evidence-subject and comparison-type **per gate**, or only a representative one? |
| **Q4** | Honest labelling: author claims delayed-introduction, empty-populations, fixture-profile bypass and removable gateRefs as **genuine red-first**, and shrink-together/exact-span as **regression guards**. Verify each claim against pre-fix code (D-8). |
## C — head, CI, integrity
| id | check |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **C1** | Head `fbb61912` on git and provider; `Closes #1029` present. |
| **C2** | Exact-head CI terminal-green, full `-f json`, counts stated incl. `clone`; machine-checked with `verify-terminal-green.py --expect-commit fbb61912981abb250d289ec7aafd4316db6fdb11`. |
| **C3** | Nothing weakened: `32b490a7``fbb61912` removes/relaxes no existing case, test, or assertion. |
## Reviewer instruction
Verdict bound to `fbb61912981abb250d289ec7aafd4316db6fdb11`, evidence enumerated, posted durably under
your own identity. If a check is unrunnable, **say so**.
**A1 and P2 are the ones I most want answered** — both ask whether the fix moved the author's control
point again rather than removing it, which is now the mission's named first-class principle and has
recurred three times. **Attack outside this set.**
**No one dispatching this review may state a conclusion on an open check (D-39).**

# RM-02 / PR #1030 — PRE-REGISTERED RE-REVIEW: the four-blocker hardening pass
**Subject head (exact):** `32b490a712a5e8e77f13c40c60099b51feb38994`
**Supersedes:** the NO-GO at `83d2ecb2` (D-44, four silent-defeat paths). That verdict is VOID.
**Registered by:** `mos-remediation` **before any reviewer read the diff.** **Reviewer:** `rev-974`.
## Framing — attack the FIX, not the original bug
Every round on this mission, **the remediation introduced the next hole**: the commit-binding fix
shipped a type confusion; the type-strict fix was clean but the registry around it had four defeats.
So the highest-value checks here are **not** "was each blocker fixed" — the orchestrator already
reproduced three of the four attacks as dead — but **"is the NEW mechanism itself defeatable?"**
Blocker 1's fix replaced an author-settable field with a **derivation**. A derivation has inputs. **The
question is who controls them.**
## H — the new derivation (highest value)
| id | check |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **H1** | `deriveHistoryBoundary` = parent of the first first-parent commit introducing `gates/gates.manifest.json`. **Are its inputs author-controlled?** Can a PR author influence the derived value by adding, moving, renaming, deleting-and-recreating, or symlinking that path — or by adding a SECOND manifest earlier in history? If the derivation is gameable, blocker 1 is not fixed, only relocated. |
| **H2** | **First-parent traversal:** what happens on a merge commit, an octopus merge, a squash, a rebase that reorders, or a branch where the introducing commit is not on the first-parent chain? Does the boundary silently move, or fail closed? |
| **H3** | **Shallow/partial clone:** the branch previously needed an unshallow fix (`e8959975` "unshallow gate replay history"). If history is shallow, does the derivation fail CLOSED or silently derive a wrong/empty boundary? |
| **H4** | **Path deletion:** if `gates/gates.manifest.json` is absent at HEAD, or was deleted and re-added, what is derived? Fail closed, or a boundary that excludes the deletion window? |
| **H5** | Are the **three registered seam controls (HEAD, HEAD^, introduction) genuinely RED-FIRST** — do they fail against the PRE-fix code for their own stated reason? A control that was always green is a regression guard, not a must-fail control (D-8). |
## S — the recursive schema closure
| id | check |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **S1** | **Is closure COMPLETE or enumerated?** The author lists the objects they closed. Find one they did **not** — any nested object anywhere in the manifest — and inject an unknown key there. If it is accepted, the fix covers instances, not the class. |
| **S2** | **Wrong-type, not just unknown-key:** `outputPattern` as a number/array/object/null rather than misspelled. Does the closed schema type-check values, or only key names? |
| **S3** | **Empty/degenerate values:** `outputPattern: ""` — does an empty regex match everything and silently neuter the assertion the same way a typo did? The author claims an empty-pattern control; verify it is bound. |
| **S4** | Confirm the registered typo/wrong-type/empty-pattern controls are **genuine red-first** against pre-fix code, and that anything labelled a regression guard is honestly labelled as one. |
## E — provider evidence (blocker 4)
| id | check |
| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **E1** | Global validation runs **before** per-commit filtering **on every path**, including the HEAD-only path the author calls out. Is there any code path that reaches per-commit assessment without it? |
| **E2** | **Duplicate identity by another key:** the fix makes pipeline NUMBER globally unique. Can two records still collide on a different identity dimension — same commit + different number, same URL, same step-id — and certify the wrong subject? |
| **E3** | "Exactly one gate-verify step per record" — what if a record has zero, or two with different outcomes? Fail closed? |
## C — clauses, integrity, CI
| id | check |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **C1** | The three new criteria (`RM02-EVIDENCE-SUBJECT-BINDING`, `RM02-TYPE-STRICT-SCHEMA`, `RM02-HISTORY-BOUNDARY`) are **checked criteria with bidirectionally bound cases**, not prose. Orchestrator observed caseRefs 1 / 3 / 3 — verify the bindings actually run and can fail. |
| **C2** | **B1/B2 satisfied in substance:** does `RM02-EVIDENCE-SUBJECT-BINDING` express D-38 generally ("does this gate bind its evidence to its subject?") or only the one pipeline-number instance? Same for D-40 vs the one typo instance. **A clause that only covers its originating instance is not a clause.** |
| **C3** | **Nothing weakened:** diff `83d2ecb2``32b490a7` removes/relaxes no existing case, test, or assertion. |
| **C4** | Exact-head CI terminal-green, full `-f json`, counts stated **including `clone`**; machine-checked with `verify-terminal-green.py --expect-commit 32b490a712a5e8e77f13c40c60099b51feb38994`. |
| **C5** | `Closes #1029` still present (D-38c). |
## Reviewer instruction
Verdict bound to `32b490a712a5e8e77f13c40c60099b51feb38994`, evidence enumerated, posted durably under
your own identity. If a check is unrunnable, **say so** — never substitute a passing variant.
**H1 and S1 are the two I most want answered**, because they ask whether each fix closed a **class** or
an **instance**. Attack outside this set: four of the last five blockers on this PR came from mutating
something nobody had registered.
**Environment note:** `pnpm gate:verify` fails on `checkout-preflight` with outcome 42 (bubblewrap
class) in at least one worktree. If you hit it, report it as an environment limitation — do not treat it
as a finding, and do not let it mask one.

# RM-02 / PR #1030 — PRE-REGISTERED RE-REVIEW: honest narrowing + (d)-strict
**Subject head (exact):** `e910a45ab3578a9c77ad3eeaa52b31b72611f6c6`
**Supersedes:** the third NO-GO at `fbb61912` (D-45/D-46/D-47) and the D-52 stop. Those are VOID.
**Registered by:** `mos-remediation` before any reviewer read the diff. **Reviewer:** `rev-974`.
## Already reproduced by the orchestrator (do not re-spend here)
- The required narrowing sentence is **verbatim** in `gates/required-gates.baseline.json` and in
`scripts/gate-inventory-claim-control.mjs`: _"Detects accidental and incompetent inventory drift
within a checkout; does NOT survive an adversary who rewrites baseline, manifest, and verifier
consistently — that guarantee requires RM-60's external boundary."_
- **The overclaim control FIRES**: clean ⇒ exit 0; injecting "protected, independently anchored" into
the baseline purpose ⇒ **exit 84**, `INVENTORY_CLAIM_OVERSTATED`.
- CI #2201 at the exact head, 10/10 incl. `clone`; machine check bound, `exempted_steps 0`, no anomalies.
## N — the narrowing (D-52's ruling is the wording)
| id | check |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **N1** | ★ Is the narrowed claim **honest EVERYWHERE**, or only where the control looks? Find any place — docs, comments, observations, manifest prose, CLI output — that still implies the baseline is protected or independently anchored. **The control only checks the files it checks.** |
| **N2** | ★ Can the **overclaim control itself** be defeated? It is PR-controlled like everything else. Weaken/skip/reword it so an overstatement passes. If it can be trivially neutered, D-52 is re-armed one level down — the exact recursion this PR keeps producing. |
| **N3** | Does the control detect **semantic** overclaim or only the literal strings it greps? An artifact could assert protection in different words and pass. |
| **N4** | Is the narrowed claim **TRUE**? Verify the baseline genuinely catches accidental/inconsistent drift — not just that it says so. A narrowed claim that is still overstated is D-48 again. |
## H — (d)-strict history removal
| id | check |
| ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **H1** | Is the verifier **structurally incapable** of reporting history-provenance-verified, or merely not currently doing so? The manifest says "structurally incapable" — test the claim. |
| **H2** | ★ **TRAP 1 re-check:** nothing emits the unverifiable state as an OBSERVATION (which exits 0). Confirm no path yields exit 0 while implying provenance was considered. |
| **H3** | ★ **TRAP 2 re-check:** the exclusion is **enforced**, not merely declared in `coverageBoundary.excluded`. Re-enable history provenance without a trustworthy anchor — does a registered case go RED? |
| **H4** | The residual is stated **correctly** — no local git state is trustworthy because PR code executes before the gate — **NOT** the D-48 wording ("compromised main"). |
## B3 / R — evidence-subject and renderer
| id | check |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **B1** | Subject is on the **EVIDENCE side** and compared **at consumption**, not `gate.evidenceSubject === gate.id` metadata-vs-itself. Mutate the evidence-side subject **per gate**. |
| **B2** | Can evidence still be moved or misbound while every gate satisfies its check? |
| **R1** | Renderer now covers the **final success stdout/stderr** paths. |
## C — integrity + CI
| id | check |
| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **C1** | Head `e910a45a` on git + provider; `Closes #1029` present. |
| **C2** | Exact-head CI terminal-green, `-f json`, counts incl. `clone`; machine-checked with `--expect-commit e910a45ab3578a9c77ad3eeaa52b31b72611f6c6`. |
| **C3** | Nothing weakened `fbb61912``e910a45a`. Red-first labels honest (D-8). |
| **C4** | **NO fourth local anchor was invented.** Blocker 1 and blocker 2's adversarial guarantee both track RM-60. |
## Reviewer instruction
Verdict bound to `e910a45ab3578a9c77ad3eeaa52b31b72611f6c6`, evidence enumerated, posted durably.
Unrunnable ⇒ **say so**. **N1 and N2 are the sharp ones** — this PR's history is that every fix
relocates the defect one level down, and N2 asks whether the control that enforces honesty is itself
honest. **Attack outside the set: six for six so far.**
**No one dispatching this review may state a conclusion on an open check (D-39).**

# RM-02 / PR #1030 — PRE-REGISTERED ACCEPTANCE CHECKS (post-rebase, keystone)
**Subject head (exact):** `83d2ecb2243f1b0987ef2bc14de47f444285a684`
**Rebased onto:** `main` @ `f4fd5967fc5d4cbc72d680b199d88224aa855131` (post-RM-61)
**Registered by:** `mos-remediation` **BEFORE the reviewer read the diff.** **Reviewer:** `rev-974`
(author ≠ reviewer; branch commits are `f10-coder`'s and `coder-mos1`'s).
**Prior reviews 63 / 65 are SUPERSEDED; this head carries NO live review of any kind.**
RM-02 is the **keystone**: it is the anti-inert-gate registry every downstream gate is measured against.
A defect that survives here propagates into every gate this mission ships.
## ★ CRUX — the one non-mechanical change, made by the author, that turned a red green
The rebase was clean. One further commit was **not** purely mechanical and the author disclosed it
unprompted (`83d2ecb2` — advance registry activation seam):
gates/gates.manifest.json
- "activationCommit": "f65e9ea656ec466e12640bf6ab5d46fe07ff160c"
+ "activationCommit": "f4fd5967fc5d4cbc72d680b199d88224aa855131"
Stated rationale: after the rebase, `pnpm gate:verify` correctly failed because the newly-merged
pre-registry RM-61 commit was treated as _prospective_ and required a manifest that could not exist.
`activationCommit` sets the lower bound of `activationCommit..HEAD` — **the set of commits required to
carry own-tree registry provenance** (`gate-history.mjs:314``listProspectiveCommits`). Advancing it
**shrinks that set**.
**Determine, do not assume — and I have deliberately formed and stated no verdict (D-39):**
| id | check |
| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **A1** | **Is the advance JUSTIFIED?** Can a pre-registry commit on `main` (e.g. `f4fd5967`) satisfy the provenance requirement at all, or is requiring it impossible-by-construction? If impossible, is advancing the seam the _correct_ remedy, or does a correct remedy exist that does not move an author-controlled field? |
| **A2** | **Is the advance MINIMAL?** Was it advanced exactly to the new parent baseline, or beyond it? Does any commit that _should_ remain covered fall outside the new range? |
| **A3** | **Are all 7 branch commits still PROSPECTIVE under the new seam?** Enumerate them and show each is still required to carry provenance. The author claims "own-tree provenance over every registry-era branch commit" — verify the claim, do not accept it. |
| **A4** | ★★ **IS THE SEAM ITSELF CONSTRAINED?** The only validation found is `merge-base --is-ancestor activationCommit head` (`gate-history.mjs:288`). **A commit is its own ancestor.** Determine what `activationCommit = HEAD` does: is the prospective range empty, does the per-commit loop iterate zero times, and does the history check therefore PASS VACUOUSLY? If so, the anti-inert-gate registry contains an author-settable field that can inert its own history check. **Run it. Report the observed exit and whether any failure is raised.** |
| **A5** | **If A4 shows vacuity is reachable, is there a registered MUST-FAIL negative control for it?** RM-02's own founding rule is that a gate with no proven failure path manufactures evidence. Does the registry hold a case that goes RED when the seam is over-advanced? If not, that is a hole in the registry's coverage of itself. |
| **A6** | **Self-verification shape (charter / D-19 / D-39b):** the field was advanced by the change's own author to make the author's gate pass. Independent of whether the value is correct, determine whether the _mechanism_ permits an audited party to relax its own audit, and whether that needs a constraint, an owner, or an escalation. |
## Registry substance — the clauses this PR must now carry
| id | check |
| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **B1** | **D-38 clause present and enforced:** the registry asks of every gate _"does this gate BIND its evidence to the subject under review?"_ Ruled in-scope for THIS PR by Mos. Verify it exists as a checked clause, not prose. |
| **B2** | **D-40 clause present and enforced:** _"discriminator and comparison inputs must be TYPE-STRICT."_ Also ruled in-scope for THIS PR. `== 0` matching `False`/`0.0` is the banked instance; the clause is the general form. |
| **B3** | **D-42's clause is CORRECTLY ABSENT** — provider-side negative control tracks separately (Mos: landing it now would give the registry a clause with nothing to satisfy it, going red on its own clause). Confirm its absence is deliberate and recorded, not forgotten. |
| **B4** | **The four founding clauses still hold** (`MISSION.md`): every check proven **right** (red for its own stated reason), the set **covers**, no two criteria **conflict**, and criterion evolution **retains original text + restatement + reason**. |
| **B5** | **Nothing was weakened, skipped, or deleted by the rebase.** Diff `f9746b23``83d2ecb2` and confirm no registered case, test, or assertion was removed or relaxed to make the rebase land. |
| **B6** | **`coverageBoundary.excluded[]` is honest in BOTH directions** (charter principle 4): what it does NOT cover is stated beside what it DOES, and the gap is tracked (`trackedBy: RM-54`) rather than implied-fixed. |
| **B7** | **The RM-02 execution boundary** (`gate-history.mjs`, DOES / DOES NOT, owner RM-60, xref RM-59) states its limits in both directions and names a tracked owner — not a documented gap with no owner. |
## Head + CI (re-run these; do not carry them forward from the author's report)
| id | check |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **C1** | Head `83d2ecb2…` on **both** git and provider; `Closes #1029` present in the body (delivery-issue rule, D-38c). |
| **C2** | Exact-head CI terminal-green by **full `-f json` scan**, counts stated **including `clone`**. Note the count changed 9 → **10** (this PR adds `gate-verify`) — confirm the new step is real, not a miscount. |
| **C3** | **Machine-check it, do not assert it:** `verify-terminal-green.py --expect-commit 83d2ecb2243f1b0987ef2bc14de47f444285a684`. Report exit, `exempted_steps`, `commit == expected_commit`. |
| **C4** | `exempted_steps=0` is expected here — `ci-postgres` succeeded, so the #1000 exemption was **not needed**. Confirm the exemption is present-but-unused rather than silently inapplicable. |
## Reviewer instruction
Verdict bound to `83d2ecb2243f1b0987ef2bc14de47f444285a684`, evidence enumerated per check, posted
durably under your own identity. If a check is unrunnable, **say so** — never substitute a variant that
passes. Scan CI from `-f json`, never default text (D-33); state your counts.
**A4 is the check I most want an answer to and the one I have least confidence about.** Attack outside
this set as well: every blocker found on this mission so far came from mutating something nobody had
registered a check for.
**No one dispatching this review may state a conclusion on an open check (D-39).** Observations may be
relayed to you; verdicts may not. The ruling is yours.

# RM-03 / PR #1032 — PRE-REGISTERED RE-REVIEW (post-freshening)
**Subject head (exact):** `868b9b871a5118762aa5b8aafecd2f0592f7ab5c`
**Rebased onto:** `main` @ `f4fd5967` **Registered by:** `mos-remediation` before the reviewer read the
diff. **Reviewer:** `rev-974`.
**Why this exists:** review 66 APPROVED and the merge-gate GO were bound to `78ec47cd`; `main` drifted
under a long hold and the PR went `mergeable=false` (**D-50 — a GO has a shelf life**). Both verdicts
are VOID at the new head. Jason's merge approval is **standing** and executes once this re-gates.
## What the orchestrator already verified (do not re-spend here)
- `git range-diff 78ec47cd...868b9b87`: commits **25 are `=` (patch-equivalent)**; only commit 1 differs.
- That single difference is the `test:framework-shell` chain, resolved as a **UNION** — main's
`test-terminal-green-contract.sh` **and** RM-03's `tristate`, `github-checks`, `merge-queue-branch`,
`merge-head-pin`, plus the pre-existing `branch-absent`. **Nothing dropped from either side.**
- CI #2199 at the exact head: 9 children, 9 success incl. `clone`; machine check exit 0, bound, no anomalies.
- `mergeable` is now **true**.
## Checks
| id | check |
| ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **R1** | ★ **THE GUARD CAN FAIL.** RM-03 exists because the queue guard is ZERO-INFORMATION (D-23) — it returns pass for every possible input. Prove the rebased head's guard **actually fails** on asserted non-readiness, not merely that its tests pass. This is the whole deliverable. |
| **R2** | ★ **NO QUEUE-GUARD SEMANTIC MOVED IN THE REBASE.** Confirm the range-diff equivalence independently. A queue-guard semantic resolved quietly re-breaks the thing this PR fixes. |
| **R3** | **Union is complete in BOTH directions:** no RM-03 suite lost to main's version, no main suite (esp. `test-terminal-green-contract.sh`) lost to RM-03's. Enumeration count reconciles. |
| **R4** | **Tri-state is real** (`verified` / `written-unverified` / `failed`) — P-WRAPPER-001. Verify an indeterminate result cannot present as a pass; that is the exact defect (`state=unknown exit 0`). |
| **R5** | The guard's **exit-asserting non-null-case** tests are genuine — each fails for its own stated reason against pre-fix code, not merely present (D-8). |
| **R6** | `test:framework-shell` is **runnable to completion in CI** (canonical env). Known: it exits 97 on some hosts via a Bash 5.2.15 `BASH_LINENO` assertion — if you hit that, report it as an environment limitation, do not treat it as a finding and do not let it mask one. |
| **R7** | Exact-head CI terminal-green, full `-f json`, counts stated incl. `clone`; machine-checked with `--expect-commit 868b9b871a5118762aa5b8aafecd2f0592f7ab5c`. |
| **R8** | `Closes #1019` present in the body (D-38c delivery-issue rule). |

# RM-61 / PR #1033 — PRE-REGISTERED RE-REVIEW ACCEPTANCE CHECKS
**Subject head (exact):** `033b2ffb46674b2c0bcc5197273c109b461f62d9`
**Supersedes:** review 67 / comment 20403 @ `e7b29219` (NO GO). That verdict is VOID — the head moved.
**Registered by:** `mos-remediation` (orchestrator). **Reviewer:** `rev-974` (author ≠ reviewer).
**Registered BEFORE the reviewer read the diff.** Any head move after this file is committed voids the
re-review and requires re-registration.
## Scope discipline
The prior review passed AC1AC8 and still found a blocker, because the registered set tested whether the
signature DISCRIMINATES and never tested whether the evidence was BOUND TO ITS SUBJECT (Finding 3 /
coverage-failure-mode-2, D-17 class). This set therefore carries the binding property as a first-class
check, and **RR7 explicitly invites the reviewer to attack outside the set** — a registered set is
protection against retrofitting only, never a ceiling on scrutiny.
## Checks
| id | check | verdict form |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **RR1** | The full 12-case contract harness passes at the exact head: `bash test-terminal-green-contract.sh` | ⇒0, and states 12 cases |
| **RR2** | ★CRUX — the ORIGINAL ATTACK IS DEAD. Take the real `#2188` record, mutate ONLY `commit` to an unrelated 40-hex value, verify against the true expected head | ⇒1, `exempted_steps == 0`, anomaly naming expected vs actual |
| **RR3** | Missing `--expect-commit` cannot be defaulted, inferred, or skipped | ⇒2 (not 0, not 1) |
| **RR4** | Malformed expected commit (short SHA, non-hex, empty) is rejected — no silent normalisation into a pass | ⇒2 |
| **RR5** | A record with the `commit` key ABSENT (not merely different) is rejected — fail-closed on missing, not just on mismatch | ⇒1, `exempted_steps == 0` |
| **RR6** | The genuine artifact still passes when correctly bound: real `#2188` + its true head | ⇒0, `exempted_steps == 1`, exactly one `WP-K8S-1000-CI-POSTGRES-TEARDOWN` |
| **RR7** | ★RED-FIRST, PROVED RETROACTIVELY. The four new cases must FAIL against the OLD verifier at `e7b29219` — otherwise they do not test what they claim (D-8 class). Run the new cases against the previous implementation | new cases ⇒≠0 under `e7b29219` |
| **RR8** | AC2 OF THE PRIOR SET DID NOT REGRESS: both REAL controls stay terminal red — `#2189` (`ci-postgres` exit 1) and `#2191` (exit 137, `test` exit 61) | both ⇒1, `exempted_steps == 0` |
| **RR9** | Still NO fetch / trigger / retry / re-roll / sleep / network of any kind in the verifier or harness. The coin flip must remain removed, not codified (D-21) | grep ⇒ no such call sites |
| **RR10** | The doc/baseline changes REQUIRE the current provider PR head to be passed — they must not merely mention it. Check `merge-gate.md`, `CI-CD-PIPELINES.md`, `woodpecker/README.md` state it as a requirement a gate operator cannot satisfy by omission | reviewer judgement, quote the lines |
| **RR11** | Exemption remains bound to #1000 and retires with it; signature conjunction unchanged and not widened by this fix | diff-scoped, ⇒ no widening |
| **RR12** | Case-sensitivity: an uppercase-hex record commit against a lowercase expected head must NOT silently pass by accident of comparison. State which way it resolves and whether it fails closed | state the observed behaviour |
## Reviewer instruction
Report the verdict **bound to `033b2ffb46674b2c0bcc5197273c109b461f62d9`** and state each check's
observed result, including counts read from `pipeline-status.sh -f json` (never default text — it omits
`clone`, D-33). If any check is unrunnable, **say so** — never substitute a passing variant. Attack
outside this set and report anything it finds; RR7 and RR12 exist because the last blocker was found
exactly that way.

# RM-61 / PR #1033 — PRE-REGISTERED ACCEPTANCE CHECKS: `exit_code` TYPE-STRICTNESS (D-40)
**Registered by:** `mos-remediation` (orchestrator) — **BEFORE the fix was pushed and before any
reviewer read a diff.** At registration time the fix existed only as an unpushed local commit
(`6e7a336d`) on coder-mos1's machine which **I have not read**. There is therefore no diff for these
checks to have been retrofitted to.
**Subject head:** TBD — binds to the NEW head once coder-mos1 pushes. The prior head
`033b2ffb46674b2c0bcc5197273c109b461f62d9` and its review 69 / pipeline #2193 go VOID on that push;
that cost was accepted deliberately by Mos's BLOCKING ruling on D-40.
**Ruling being enforced (Mos, 2026-08-01):** `exit_code` must be accepted ONLY as a real integer.
`false`, `0.0`, `"0"`, and `null` must all fail to satisfy the exemption. Wrong-ACCEPT is the
disqualifying direction; this hole sits inside the load-bearing discriminator.
## ⚠ Read this before writing the tests — RED-FIRST HERE IS NOT UNIFORM
Two of the four near-miss values **already block** at `033b2ffb`. Demanding "all four observed RED
first" would be demanding an impossible red for two of them, and the predictable response to an
impossible demand is a fudge — weakening something real to manufacture the red. So state it precisely:
| value | behaviour at `033b2ffb` (pre-fix) | what the new case is |
| ------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `false` | **WRONGLY EXEMPTS** (exit 0) | **genuine RED-FIRST** |
| `0.0` | **WRONGLY EXEMPTS** (exit 0) | **genuine RED-FIRST** |
| `"0"` | correctly blocks (exit 1) | **regression guard** only |
| `null` | correctly blocks (exit 1) | **regression guard** only |
Claiming red-first for `"0"` or `null` would be a false claim about your own evidence. Say which is
which. **Do not weaken anything to make a green case go red** (D-8).
## Checks
| id | check | verdict form |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **TS1** | ★RED-FIRST. `exit_code: false` on the real #2188 record is **observed wrongly exempting at `033b2ffb`** (exit 0, `exempted_steps 1`), then blocks after the fix | pre-fix ⇒0/exempt 1 · post-fix ⇒1/exempt 0 |
| **TS2** | ★RED-FIRST. Same for `exit_code: 0.0` | pre-fix ⇒0/exempt 1 · post-fix ⇒1/exempt 0 |
| **TS3** | REGRESSION GUARD. `exit_code: "0"` blocked before AND after — state honestly that it was already green | both ⇒1, `exempted_steps 0` |
| **TS4** | REGRESSION GUARD. `exit_code: null` blocked before AND after | both ⇒1, `exempted_steps 0` |
| **TS5** | ★NOT OVER-TIGHTENED. The genuine artifact — real #2188, real integer `exit_code: 0`, correctly bound head — still passes | ⇒0, `exempted_steps 1`, exactly one `WP-K8S-1000-CI-POSTGRES-TEARDOWN` |
| **TS6** | The strictness sits on the value the EXEMPTION rests on, not on a cosmetic sibling. Show the guarded comparison is the one feeding `exemption_applies` | reviewer quotes the line |
| **TS7** | `bool` is excluded EXPLICITLY, not incidentally. A bare `isinstance(x, int)` still admits `True`/`False` — verify the `not isinstance(x, bool)` clause exists | ⇒ clause present; `true` also blocks |
| **TS8** | Negative control unaffected: a genuine failed step with a real integer non-zero exit still blocks | ⇒1, `exempted_steps 0` |
| **TS9** | NO REGRESSION ON THE PRIOR ROUND'S BINDING WORK: mutated record commit ⇒1; `--expect-commit` omitted ⇒2; record `commit` absent ⇒1 | ⇒1 / ⇒2 / ⇒1 |
| **TS10** | Signature conjunction NOT widened elsewhere by this fix — `POD_NOT_FOUND` / name / type / state untouched | diff-scoped ⇒ no widening |
| **TS11** | Still no fetch / trigger / retry / re-roll / sleep / network | grep ⇒ no call sites |
| **TS12** | Full harness passes at the new head; **state the case count** (12 previously, expected 16 — confirm the actual number rather than the expected one) | ⇒0, count stated |
## Reviewer instruction
Verdict bound to the NEW head, evidence enumerated per check, CI counts from `pipeline-status.sh -f json`
(never default text — it omits `clone`, D-33). If a check is unrunnable, **say so**; never substitute a
passing variant.
**Attack outside this set and report what you find.** Both blockers on this PR so far — the missing
commit binding, and this type confusion — were found outside the registered set, by mutating a field
nobody had registered a check for. That is now the expectation, not a bonus.
**Nobody dispatching this review may state a conclusion on an open check here (D-39).** If you are sent
an observation, it is an observation; the ruling is yours.

### **D-5 / P-QUEUE-001 + P-CONFORMANCE-001 — KEYSTONE: an inert gate that erased its own evidence.**
Merged PR #868 (`b79336a8`) shipped a file that FAILS `pnpm format:check` ⇒ the CI format gate did not block. An unrelated later PR (#872) then reformatted that file via its own `lint-staged`, so `main` went green again and nobody learned the gate had failed to fire. Verified blob-level under the repo's own config. **Detection must be per-merge-commit against that commit's own tree** — a "is main green today" check reports all-clear on this exact defect. Binding on RM-02/RM-55. Full chain in `TASKS.md` §1a. NOT quiet-patched, by Mos's ruling: patching the symptom destroys the signal.
### **D-4 / P-LIFECYCLE + hygiene — a dispatched agent silently IGNORED an in-message context reset.**
planner-sol was at 64.3%/372k; the brief asked it to reset first; it began work on dirty context anyway. Only an out-of-band `/new` driven by the orchestrator guaranteed clean state. Confirms the postmortem thesis: **instructions are not enforcement.** Reset must be a mechanical pre-dispatch step, not a request.
<!-- board-roll: 2 entries rolled from BOARD.md -->
### **D-7 / P-FLEET-001 — stale-GC-on-disk: shared 30G /tmp hit 100% ENOSPC, degrading two seats.**
~5.2G was session scratch dead 8-9 days (this session's own footprint: 88K). Same missing capability as orphaned-tmux-session GC, applied to disk — not a quota or discipline problem. Resolved manually by Mos (lead coordinator) after independent verification; `/tmp` now 79%. **The gap IS the finding:** the authority to reap exists, the deterministic reaper does not. Folded into RM-50 with explicit requirements (mechanical liveness, age threshold, dry-run, audit event per reap — never a heuristic sweep). Refusing to unilaterally delete another session's scratch was correct doctrine; the fix is a reaper, not braver agents.
### **D-6 / P-QUEUE-001 — the mandated queue guard returned PASS on an UNKNOWN state, live, today.**
Running the required `ci-queue-wait.sh --purpose push` before pushing produced `state=unknown ... exit 0` — the exact defect at `ci-queue-wait.sh:282-288` that PR #1023 is parked on. It also evaluated `branch=main` rather than the branch being pushed. The mission's own required pre-push gate passed me on an indeterminate result. Third independent live instance of the class.
<!-- board-roll: 1 entry rolled from BOARD.md -->
### **D-8 / P-CONFORMANCE-001 — a PRE-REGISTERED acceptance check that was not runnable as written.**
PR #1025 AC2's fixture `mkdir -p apps/*/venv/lib` creates a literal `apps/*/venv/lib` dir when the glob is unmatched — it did not test what it claimed. rev-974 ran it exactly as written, caught it, re-ran the intended assertion at an explicit path, and **disclosed** rather than silently substituting a working fixture and 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. Hard requirement on RM-02: the registry must self-verify that every registered case runs AND can fail — presence is not evidence.

All 44 findings (D-1…D-6 in `BOARD-LEDGER.md`, D-7…D-43 + D-38c in `TASKS.md`) and every ruling with its
rationale live there. **Not duplicated here** — a second copy is a second thing to go stale, which this
board had done three times in one night (gate list, capability registry, DECISION-1 status), and three
more times by the next rotation seam (RM-61 "building", "nothing implemented yet", DECISION-1/2/3
"must be ruled"). The rulings a fresh seat needs are items 47 above; they are **not** repeated here,
because that repetition is what went stale.

Builds 1-5, the cross-cutting retirements, and DECISION-1's corrected wire-in target are stated once in
the charter and `TASKS.md` §5. **Not repeated here** — the previous copy of DECISION-1's status on this
board is one of the six stale restatements below.

- Capability is **per-path** (D-11b → **superseded in part by D-13/D-15**): a token file is **necessary,
not sufficient**. Three layers — token file (raw-API), `tea` login (tea paths), **repository permission**
(writes). Before dispatch, assert `permissions.push == true` **as that seat**, not token existence and
not a 200 on a read. Mos owns provisioning; escalate missing pairs.
- Seat identity (D-11a): token identity AND `git config user.name`/`user.email` must BOTH be set and
agree. Exporting `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY` alone does NOT fix commit authorship.

### For the incoming orchestrator — read this before acting
1. **Lane state lives in the In-flight table above — this item does NOT restate it.** It went stale
three times in one session by duplicating that table (D-26's class). Read the table. ⚠ **And
re-derive any board claim from the provider before load-bearing use (D-43)** — the board is
sole-written and has no independent verifier.
2. **`docs/remediation/TASKS.md` is authoritative**, not the newest voice in a chat. It holds 53 findings
(D-1…D-6 in `BOARD-LEDGER.md`, D-7…D-52 + D-38c in TASKS.md), every ruling with its rationale, and the
requirements each finding placed on RM-02/RM-34/RM-50/RM-55.
3. **`MISSION.md` carries the first-class principles** — read them there, they are not listed here.
Two added 2026-08-01: **the anchor must live outside the audited party's authority** (D-19/D-25/D-45,
third arrival) and **no universally-quantified check may pass over an empty set** (D-44/D-46).
4. **Seat identity:** `export MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=<seat>` is stripped by a context reset (**D-34**) —
every dispatch/rehydration brief must re-export it, or the seat cannot use its credentials.
5. **Scan CI from `-f json`, never default text** — text mode omits `clone` (**D-33**). State counts.
6. **The queue guard is zero-information until RM-03 merges** (**D-23**) — never cite its green.
7. **The bounded CI re-roll used on RM-02 was a one-time stopgap, NOT policy.** A per-PR free re-roll is
D-21 normalisation. Do not repeat it; RM-61 is the fix.

<!-- BOARD-ROLL:START -->
### **D-8 / P-CONFORMANCE-001 — a PRE-REGISTERED acceptance check that was not runnable as written.**
PR #1025 AC2's fixture `mkdir -p apps/*/venv/lib` creates a literal `apps/*/venv/lib` dir when the glob is unmatched — it did not test what it claimed. rev-974 ran it exactly as written, caught it, re-ran the intended assertion at an explicit path, and **disclosed** rather than silently substituting a working fixture and 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. Hard requirement on RM-02: the registry must self-verify that every registered case runs AND can fail — presence is not evidence.
### **D-7 / P-FLEET-001 — stale-GC-on-disk: shared 30G /tmp hit 100% ENOSPC, degrading two seats.**
~5.2G was session scratch dead 8-9 days (this session's own footprint: 88K). Same missing capability as orphaned-tmux-session GC, applied to disk — not a quota or discipline problem. Resolved manually by Mos (lead coordinator) after independent verification; `/tmp` now 79%. **The gap IS the finding:** the authority to reap exists, the deterministic reaper does not. Folded into RM-50 with explicit requirements (mechanical liveness, age threshold, dry-run, audit event per reap — never a heuristic sweep). Refusing to unilaterally delete another session's scratch was correct doctrine; the fix is a reaper, not braver agents.
### **D-6 / P-QUEUE-001 — the mandated queue guard returned PASS on an UNKNOWN state, live, today.**
Running the required `ci-queue-wait.sh --purpose push` before pushing produced `state=unknown ... exit 0` — the exact defect at `ci-queue-wait.sh:282-288` that PR #1023 is parked on. It also evaluated `branch=main` rather than the branch being pushed. The mission's own required pre-push gate passed me on an indeterminate result. Third independent live instance of the class.
### **D-5 / P-QUEUE-001 + P-CONFORMANCE-001 — KEYSTONE: an inert gate that erased its own evidence.**
Merged PR #868 (`b79336a8`) shipped a file that FAILS `pnpm format:check` ⇒ the CI format gate did not block. An unrelated later PR (#872) then reformatted that file via its own `lint-staged`, so `main` went green again and nobody learned the gate had failed to fire. Verified blob-level under the repo's own config. **Detection must be per-merge-commit against that commit's own tree** — a "is main green today" check reports all-clear on this exact defect. Binding on RM-02/RM-55. Full chain in `TASKS.md` §1a. NOT quiet-patched, by Mos's ruling: patching the symptom destroys the signal.
### **D-4 / P-LIFECYCLE + hygiene — a dispatched agent silently IGNORED an in-message context reset.**
planner-sol was at 64.3%/372k; the brief asked it to reset first; it began work on dirty context anyway. Only an out-of-band `/new` driven by the orchestrator guaranteed clean state. Confirms the postmortem thesis: **instructions are not enforcement.** Reset must be a mechanical pre-dispatch step, not a request.

## Decisions log
- 2026-07-31 — Mission set up by Mos post-postmortem (15/15 decided). Dogfood posture active.
- 2026-07-31 — Mos: stale `.mosaic/orchestrator/mission.json` is RESIDUE of the disabled Python
orchestrator rail that this plan RETIRES. Do NOT invest in it; do NOT build on that rail. The 0/0
milestone banner is cosmetic. (Supersedes any plan to repair it.)
- 2026-07-31 — Mos: planners must be dispatched with GUARANTEED clean context, not requested-clean.
Prior default-socket planner sessions predate this mission; dirty context is the indicted hygiene.
- 2026-07-31 — mos-remediation: worker briefs forbid all git ops and restrict each worker to a single
named output file, so two planners can share one checkout without a branch race (M2-era incident doctrine).

> **Enforceable form — RM-02's four clauses.** The registry must establish that: (1) each check is
> **right** — proven red for its own stated reason before its green counts; (2) the set **covers** —
> every criterion bound to a case that actually exercises it; (3) no two criteria **conflict** —
> mutual unsatisfiability is a registry defect discoverable by construction; (4) when a criterion's
> meaning changes, the registry **retains original text, restatement, and reason**, so evolution stays

> however it reads in the manifest.
### Corollary — never ship an integrity claim dressed as a property
> A verification artifact that can be forged by whoever it is meant to catch verifies nothing. If a
> manifest, marker, ledger, or receipt is writable by the same actor whose behaviour it certifies, it
> **certifies the attack.** Such an artifact must sit inside the integrity envelope it belongs to,
> publish atomically, and carry a **tamper negative-control observed red** — otherwise its integrity is
> a _claim_, not a _property_.
>
> **If it cannot be made tamper-evident, say so and reconsider the approach.** Laundering foreign
> content as certified is the only unacceptable outcome; an honest "this cannot be verified" is always
> available and always preferable.
### First-class principle — when a property cannot exist at the layer it was specified
> Some required properties are **impossible at the layer that asked for them** — not hard, impossible.

> only the positive over-trusts it. **Both together is the honest artifact** — either alone misleads.
> 3. **Record where the real guarantee will come from — as a TRACKED DEPENDENCY, not prose.** It must
> name a task that someone must close. _A documented gap with no owner becomes a permanent gap that

## Why Builds 12 are necessary — two independent impossibility proofs
**The choke-point executor and PG spine are not a design preference. They are forced.** Twice during
the mission's own first deliveries, work stopped against a security property that **cannot exist** at
the layer that needed it — and both times the only resolution was an authority _outside_ the audited
party's control, which is precisely what Builds 12 provide.
| | the audited party controls… | so what fails | found as |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | -------- |
| **Artifact integrity** | the manifest that certifies its own generated tree (same-UID write ⇒ regenerate manifest _and_ marker consistently, CWE-345) | tamper-evidence | **D-19** |
| **Execution integrity** | the code that enters the sandbox (PR-controlled config executes _before_ the boundary exists) | isolation | **D-25** |
Both reduce to one sentence:
> **Self-verification by the audited party is not verification.**
And to one consequence: **the anchor must live outside the audited party's authority.** A local check
cannot defend against an actor who can rewrite the check; a repo cannot grant a capability to
PR-controlled config and simultaneously prevent that config from using it.
**An architecture forced by two independent impossibility proofs is stronger evidence than one argued
for.** Neither proof was sought — both arrived while trying to ship something else, from different
directions (a symlink manifest; a CI sandbox), at different layers. RM-59 and RM-60 are the two tracked
dependencies this creates, and they are the same dependency in different clothes.

acceptance checks committed before the diff is read
2. Remediation of findings
3. **CI terminal-green** at the exact full-40 head, by **full step scan**
4. **Merge-gate verdict — `GO` / `NO-GO` / `HOLD`** (class `merge-gate`; "Ultron" is an _instance name_,
display data, never an authority source). **Bound to a commit and VOID the instant the head moves.**
`HOLD` persists until replaced; a `NO-GO` answered by an empty commit must be re-issued as `NO-GO`.
Posted durably on the PR under the gate's own minted identity, **enumerating** its evidence — a bare
"GO — gates verified" is non-conforming.
5. **Coordinator merge**, head-pinned. The gate never merges; it holds `push=False` by design.
**The CI queue guard runs but is ZERO-INFORMATION until RM-03 lands** (D-23: it returns pass for every
possible input). It must not be cited as evidence by any gate, including the coordinator's own merge path.
**Assignment:** the coordinator assigns the merge-gate seat; the orchestrator does not. The orchestrator
owns getting a PR _gate-ready_.
