dfe050e8d4 FN-8640: add FNXC stamp anomaly advisory
Add a non-blocking census for implausible future-dated FNXC stamps.

- Classify tolerated future stamps by timezone plausibility and report notable anomalies.
- Add injectable gate seams and coverage for advisory, report, baseline, and discovery behavior.
- Document the advisory and preserve read-only check-mode baseline handling.

8d54c5e049 fix(gate): the SQL-literal check WROTE to the tree it was checking — last of three (#3292)
Completes the family. `check-fnxc-future-dates` was #3287,
`lifecycle-column-census` is #3289, and this is the third and last gate
that rewrote its baseline during a plain check.

## Reproduction

```
inflated one allowance by 6, ran the gate with NO flags
  rc=0
  entry RESET to 1        ← the check modified the tree it was checking
```

## Why it matters

The tightening is right in substance — an allowance nobody spends is a
hole a literal can be regrown into. Performing it as a **side effect of
checking** handed every worker a byte-identical uncommitted diff they
had not authored, which they then reasonably committed.

Measured across the family: nine PRs chased three defects on
2026-07-31/08-01, two of them (#3283/#3285, five minutes apart, `+0/-1`
each) deleting the **same line neither author wrote**.

#3289 states the class best — *a check that writes turns every reader
into an author*. Two of us separately mis-attributed a gate-written
baseline to our own work while debugging something else.

## Measured, all four directions

| scenario | result |
|---|---|
| plain run, stale baseline | `rc=0`, reports `allowed 7, now 1`;
**inflation survived** — read-only |
| a new SQL literal added | **`rc=1`**, names `__sql_probe.ts` —
regression detection intact |
| `--update-baseline` | `rc=0`, entry written |
| clean tree, plain run | `rc=0`, **zero files dirty** |

Row 2 is the one worth checking: a read-only change to a gate is
worthless if it also stops catching the thing it exists for. The rise
path is untouched.

`census --strict` 0, `check-fnxc-future-dates` 0, eslint clean.

## Correcting my own delay

I measured this defect family on #3267 and then **declined to fix two of
the three**, reasoning that the census *"deliberately fails on a drop"*
so the port might be unsafe. That was wrong: it tightened and exited
`0`, exactly as its own test asserts — *"TIGHTENS on a drop and exits 0,
so somebody else's merge cannot redden the gate."* I had read the
`--exact` contract and attributed it to the default path.

The caution cost hours and prevented nothing. #3289 was written by
someone else in the meantime; this finishes what I should have finished
then.

26fdb67505 docs(solutions): the audit table had one axis — add the one that missed three defects (#3293)
## What

My blind-spot table in #3251 audited **one axis**. Adds the one that
missed three defects. Docs only.

That table records what each of the five lifecycle ratchets can and
cannot **see**. I probed that carefully — several spellings per tool —
and then wrote *"nothing found; sound"* for two of them.

Within a day, three of those same tools turned out to share a completely
different defect: **they wrote to the tree they were checking**,
auto-tightening their own baseline during a plain check run.

| gate | wrote during a check | fixed by |
|---|---|---|
| `check-fnxc-future-dates` | yes | #3287 |
| `lifecycle-column-census` | yes, under `--strict` | #3289 |
| `check-sql-column-literals` | yes | #3292 |

**No number of detection probes could have surfaced that.** The table
asserted one property carefully and said nothing about the other *while
reading as comprehensive* — which is precisely the failure it documents
in the tools it audits.

## The rule it adds

1. **What can it see?** — probe each spelling of the thing it claims to
catch.
2. **Can it fail at all?** — invoke it as `package.json` does; a
report-only run exits 0 forever (#3255).
3. **Does it write?** — `git status --porcelain` before and after, on a
clean tree.

With the trap on the third spelled out: these gates write only when a
tightening is **available**, so a clean tree after a run proves the
*trigger* is absent, not that the tool is read-only. Inflate a baseline
entry first, then run it. I hit exactly this while reviewing #3292 — ran
all three gates on main, saw a clean tree, and had to stop myself
concluding the SQL gate was fine.

## Why the pattern, not the people

Three tools converged on write-during-check independently. That argues
the design is **attractive**, not that three authors were careless: the
tightening is correct, the write saves a step, and the message even
tells you to commit it. It only becomes a defect at the moment a second
person runs the same gate — which is invisible from inside any one of
them.

What it cost, measured: #3283 and #3285 are the same `+0/-1`, five
minutes apart, by two authors, **neither of whom wrote that line**.

lint clean; fnxc-future-dates clean

c19bec3752 fix(fnxc): two scheduler stamps to their authoring commits' real times (10 days and 1 day off) (#3294)
Last loose thread from the 2026-07-31 stamp-repointing wave. Two comment
lines.

```
line 1027  ConcurrencyAdmission      2026-07-31-09:00  ->  2026-07-21-22:30   (eef5eb751e)
line 1471  WorkflowLifecycleColumns  2026-07-31-05:00  ->  2026-07-30-20:55   (109204c590)
```

## Not a revert — neither value was ever right

| stamp | originally | after #3280 | authoring commit (UTC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ConcurrencyAdmission` | `2026-08-06-09:00` (16 days ahead) |
`2026-07-31-09:00` (10 days late) | **2026-07-21 22:30** |
| `WorkflowLifecycleColumns` | `2026-08-01-05:00` (~1.5 days ahead) |
`2026-07-31-05:00` (~1 day late) | **2026-07-30 20:55** |

Both were written **ahead of their own commits** to begin with. Three
lanes then repointed stamps to turn `main` green (#3261, #3269, #3280),
moving the **date** back a day while keeping the clock time — which
converts an hours-off stamp into a days-off one in the opposite
direction. #3282 reverted the batch it owned; these two were outside its
scope.

So restoring the originals would be wrong too. The defensible values are
the authoring commits' UTC timestamps, per the `date -u` rule #3281
settled.

## Why now

`scheduler.ts` is a hot file. This survived two successive claimants — I
flagged it on #3262 and again on #3288 rather than opening a conflicting
PR, and said I'd take it once the file was unclaimed.
`check-file-claimed` now reports UNCLAIMED, so here it is.

## Scope

The gate is **green either way** — #3277 fixed the comparison, so
nothing is blocked by this. It is purely about the FNXC trail recording
when the work actually happened, which is the only reason the trail
exists. A stamp that satisfies a check while misstating the date by ten
days is worse than no stamp.

## Verification

```
check-fnxc-future-dates           green
check-inert-sync-lane-conversions green
check-lane-wiring                 green
check-sql-column-literals         green
census --strict                   green
```

Diff is two comment lines — no executable change. No changeset.

5efe97c0ae docs(solutions): your environment is a variable in every measurement you report (#3291)
Extends the doc from #3255/#3273 with the failure that cost the most in
a single session: **one stale install produced five wrong reports on one
issue** (#3264).

## What happened

A `node_modules` that had drifted from the lockfile — `jsdom@29.0.1`
installed, `29.1.1` pinned — generated failures that existed on no CI
machine and no other checkout. They were not subtle: deterministic,
reproducible on demand, with plausible stack traces and real-looking
assertion diffs.

Each round of triage got **more precise about the wrong data**:

| round | claim | why it was wrong |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | "4 deterministic failures" | measured in a 4-file batch, called it
isolation |
| 2 | "3 deterministic, 2 order-dependent" | isolated correctly, but a
race is not deterministic |
| 3 | "TaskCard is broken" | stale jsdom; the CSS assertion was correct
|
| 4 | "no contamination" | true of four app files; published unqualified
|
| 5 | "quarantine these two" | never read the failure text — both were
timeouts |

The through-line is not carelessness about the code. **The environment
was never treated as part of the claim**, so no amount of care about the
analysis could recover it.

## The checks, in the order they cost the most

```bash
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile   # node_modules is not evidence until it matches the lockfile
<run the file ALONE, 3+ times>   # isolation and repetition answer different questions
<read the failure TEXT>          # a timeout and an assertion failure need opposite responses
uptime                           # a loaded box manufactures timeouts that mean nothing
```

## Why the load check earned its place

Two tests "failing" in a full-suite run were `Test timed out in 15000ms`
on a box at **load average 9.7 with 84 users**. Under AGENTS.md's
quarantine-on-sight rule that reads as a flake to quarantine — and the
ledger's **14-day deletion ratchet would have made the lost coverage
permanent**.

The rule presumes the failure is a property of the test, not of the
machine. A wall-clock budget crossed under local contention is evidence
about the hardware. I was one comment away from deleting healthy
coverage on that basis.

## The tell

A finding is environment-derived when it is **local, recent, and
unshared**: nobody else has reported it, CI is green, and it appeared
without a commit that could explain it. Any two of those should stop a
report before it is written. All three applied here, and the report went
out anyway — five times.

## Verification

Docs only; no code paths change. `fnxc-future-dates`,
`lifecycle-columns`, `quarantine-ledger` exit 0. No changeset — internal
docs are excluded.

Context: the one finding in #3264 that survived all five rounds is #3286
(merged), and it survived because it was verified by **reverting the
product change** rather than by trusting a red — 3/3/2 failures without
the fix, 27/27 across four runs with it.

42a2699b9a test(scheduler): pin the worktree-capacity arithmetic — both failure directions (#3288)
## What

Pins the **worktree-capacity arithmetic** — the gap #3262 measured,
named, and explicitly left for someone to claim. Two commits: a
behaviour-preserving seam extraction, then the test.

#3262's own scope note:

> blinding this predicate to `false` leaves all 22 scheduler suites
green (365 tests). The capacity logic it feeds has no behavioural
coverage at all.

## Two live defects, opposite directions

Both came out of these few lines:

- **UNDER-COUNT admits work over the cap.** `maxWorktrees=4`, four
planning sessions each holding a worktree, and a replan dispatch
admitted as the **fifth** — the ledger counted WIP cards only and never
learned to count planners.
- **OVER-COUNT self-deadlocks.** A planned Ready card *retains* its
planning worktree for execution reuse, so counting it as a holder blocks
its own release: `2 wip + 3 idle-held = 5/4`, and the first unpause
released 2 of 4 slots' worth of work.

**Both are pinned, and the asymmetry is why.** Under-counting breaks the
cap and lets real work over it; over-counting only starves dispatch. A
test covering the "safe" direction alone would leave the expensive one
open.

## Mutation-tested — all four caught

| mutation | result |
|---|---|
| drop the terminal exclusion | 1 failed / 7 passed |
| count WIP cards twice | 2 failed / 6 passed |
| count cards holding no worktree | 1 failed / 7 passed |
| drop the self-slot subtraction | 1 failed / 7 passed |

```
clean:            8 passed (8)
scheduler suite:  16 files / 151 tests passed  (behaviour preserved by the extraction)
typecheck, lint:  clean
```

## Scope, stated rather than implied

The terminal predicate is **injected**, not resolved here. Which lanes
are terminal is #3262's test; resolving it in this file would make it
fail for that reason instead of this one. This pins the **set
arithmetic** — who is excluded, and how the total is formed.

Still not covered, and I am not claiming otherwise: the *stateful* half
of the ledger — the `+= 1` on dispatch and the `Math.max(0, … - 1)` on
failure inside `schedule()`'s loop. Extracting that would mean
restructuring dispatch itself, which is a different change from this
one.

## Process note

I claimed this on #3262 **before** starting rather than after, because
`scheduler.ts` is the hottest file in the tree and I produced three
duplicate PRs earlier tonight by picking up small shared-surface work
someone else already had in flight. Announcing first cost one comment;
the duplicates cost three PRs and two closes.

65af9fd694 fix(census): the census WROTE to the tree it was checking — same defect as #3287 (#3289)
## What

**Port of #3287 to the sibling tool.** `lifecycle-column-census.mjs
--strict` called `writeBaseline()` during a plain **check**, so running
the gate modified the tree it was checking.

```
clean:  0 files dirty
$ node scripts/lifecycle-column-census.mjs --strict        # no --update-baseline
  rc=0
after:  M scripts/lib/lifecycle-column-census-baseline.json
```

## Why it matters — measured by #3287, reproduced here

#3287 established what this costs: every worker who runs the gate
receives a **byte-identical uncommitted diff they did not author**, and
reasonably commits it. #3283 and #3285 are the same `+0/-1`, five
minutes apart, by two different authors, **neither of whom wrote that
line** — the gate wrote it in both checkouts.

I hit this one the same way, which is the part worth recording: I saw a
modified baseline on my own branch and started reasoning about where
*my* change had touched it. It had not. A check that writes turns every
reader into an author.

The tightening is right in substance, and this tool's `COMMIT IT`
message made the diff *explained* rather than mysterious — better than
fnxc's was. **Neither addresses the mechanism.**

## The shape, matching #3287

Still computed, still reported loudly, written only under an explicit
`--update-baseline` (which has its own path above and is untouched):

```
lifecycle-column-census --strict: baseline CAN BE TIGHTENED — the tree has fewer guards than it allowed
  packages/engine/src/scheduler.ts: allows 1, tree has 0

Not written. Record it deliberately, so the diff has one author:

  node scripts/lifecycle-column-census.mjs --strict --update-baseline
```

**A plain run stays green rather than failing.** Guard counts drop when
someone *else's* merge removes a literal, so failing on a tightening
would redden main on a change the author never made. Report, don't
enforce — same reasoning #3287 gives for stamps aging into the past.

## Measured, all three directions

| scenario | result |
|---|---|
| plain `--strict`, stale baseline | reports + hint; **tree clean**
(was: 1 file dirty) |
| `--strict --update-baseline` | writes, rc=0 |
| a new guard added | **rc=1** — regression detection intact |

```
lint clean
```

## Note

Claimed on #3287 before starting, since it is that author's fix and they
may have had the port in flight. The two differences from the fnxc case
are noted there: this one fires under `--strict` rather than a bare run
(but `--strict` is what `package.json` and CI invoke, so it is the
common path), and its message was already loud.

ad15113872 test(dashboard): pin the typed-title regression MY archived-lane fix caused (#3290)
#3286 fixed a real user-facing regression and **shipped no test**, so
nothing stops it returning. The regression was mine.

## The bug

#3215 (mine) added `isArchivedColumn` to an effect's dependency list to
keep the task fetch honest. That effect **also owned four `setState`
calls**, and `isArchivedColumn` is a `useMemo` over
`useBoardWorkflows()` — which revalidates asynchronously.

Every revalidation re-ran the reset over whatever the operator had
typed. A title entered before the workflows settled silently reverted to
`Research: <heading>`, and the task was created with a title nobody
wrote.

## Why my own four tests could not see it

Every existing case in this file asserts the **filtered task list** —
render, await `fetchTasks`, read the datalist. **None types into the
form.**

I tested what I added and not what I touched. That is why the regression
belongs in this file rather than a new one: the gap is this file's.

## The case

Renders with `boardWorkflows: null` — the state when an operator opens
the modal and starts typing — types a title with per-character
`userEvent`, then rerenders with a resolved workflow set (a **new object
identity**, which is the entire mechanism) and asserts the typed text
survived.

Two details that each cost a cycle, recorded at the site:

- **`fetchTasks` is not awaited.** It runs only in enrich mode, while
the title field exists only in create mode — so the reset effect, not
the fetch, is under test. My first version waited on it and failed for
the wrong reason.
- **`userEvent.type`, not `fireEvent.change`.** The documented failure
is state overwritten between renders; a single synthetic change event
can land after the reset and mask it.

## Measured both directions, on main `6834ba35bd`

| state | result |
|---|---|
| fixed main | **5 passed** |
| dependency re-added to the reset effect (my bug) | **1 failed / 4
passed** — and only that case |

The second row is the point: it fails on precisely the mutation that
recreates the defect, and leaves the four archived-lane cases green — so
it pins the regression without duplicating what is already covered.

`eslint` clean, `check-fnxc-future-dates` 0. Test-only.

## Note on provenance

Getting this measurement took three attempts: a `git checkout` of the PR
branch silently failed (stderr suppressed), so I twice ran against the
wrong tree and nearly concluded the fix did not work. HEAD and
dirty-count are printed beside every number above for that reason.

210a89d74f fix(dashboard): an operator's typed task title was wiped when board workflows resolved (#3286)
Found by chasing the deterministic half of #3264 (dashboard red on
`main`). **The tests were right; the product is broken.**

## The bug

Open **Create Task** from a research finding, type a title before the
board workflows settle, and the field silently reverts to the derived
default `Research: <heading>`. The task is then created with a title the
operator did not write. `description`, `priority` and `taskId` reset the
same way.

`ResearchTaskActionModal` reset those four fields in the same effect
that fetched the task list, and that effect's dependency list carried
`isArchivedColumn`:

```ts
const isArchivedColumn = useMemo(() => { … }, [boardWorkflows]);   // useBoardWorkflows() — async
useEffect(() => {
  setTitle(`Research: ${finding.heading || run.title}`);           // ← re-runs on every revalidation
  …
}, [open, mode, projectId, finding.heading, preview, run.title, isArchivedColumn]);
```

`useBoardWorkflows` resolves and revalidates asynchronously, so the
memo's identity changes and the reset re-runs over whatever the operator
has typed.

Introduced by #3215, which correctly added the archived-column filter
but hung its dependency on an effect that also owns form state. Same
class as the documented
`docs/solutions/ui-bugs/skill-autocomplete-highlight-reset-on-swr-revalidation.md`.

## The fix

Split into two effects: the reset depends only on what it derives from;
the fetch keeps `isArchivedColumn`. No behaviour change to the archived
filter — #3215's guard is untouched.

## Verification, both directions

The three standing `ResearchView` tests fail without this and pass with
it:

```
isArchivedColumn back on the reset effect:  3 failed | 24 passed (27)
as committed:                               27 passed (27)
```

## What I tried and removed, because it matters

I wrote a dedicated invariant test (per "fix the invariant, not the
repro") asserting that *all* typed fields survive a revalidation. **I
deleted it, because it did not work.**

- First draft used `mockImplementationOnce` to defer
`fetchBoardWorkflows`. `ResearchView` resolves board workflows on mount,
so that once-implementation was consumed before the modal opened.
Reverting the product fix left the test **green** — it proved nothing.
- Second draft deferred *every* call. `beforeEach` uses
`vi.clearAllMocks()`, which clears calls but **not implementations**, so
the deferral leaked into later tests and left `fetchBoardWorkflows`
permanently pending — masking two of the three genuine failures. The
revert then showed `1 failed` instead of `3`, i.e. my test was hiding
real bugs.

Rather than ship a regression test that cannot regress, I removed it.
The three existing tests already fail without the fix, which is real
coverage; a broader invariant test needs a modal-level harness that
resets implementations between cases, and that is worth doing properly
rather than badly here.

## Scope

Also in #3264: `TaskCard.badge-wrap` (1 deterministic failure, unrelated
— CSS/layout), and `useChat` / `WorkflowNodeEditor` /
`PlanningModeModal`, which pass standalone and are cross-file
contamination, not product bugs. Untouched here; the issue has the
per-file matrix.

No changeset — `@fusion/dashboard` is private.

9abec9f235 fix(gate): the fnxc check WROTE to the tree it was checking — nine PRs chased three defects (#3287)
Root-cause fix for the duplicate-PR pileup tracked in #3267. **Running
the check modified the working tree.**

## Reproduction

```
clean:  0 files dirty
$ node scripts/check-fnxc-future-dates.mjs        # no flags, no --update-baseline
  exit 0
after:  1 file dirty   →   M scripts/lib/fnxc-future-dates-baseline.json
```

`:227` auto-tightened and `writeFileSync`'d on every run.

## Why that produced nine PRs

The tightening is **right in substance** — the comment above it explains
why banking a stale allowance is worse than re-recording. Doing it as a
*side effect of checking* is what hurt: every worker who ran the gate
received an identical uncommitted diff they had not written, and
reasonably committed it.

The clearest evidence is #3283 and #3285 — five minutes apart, `+0/-1`
each, both deleting the same baseline line. **Neither author wrote that
line.** The gate wrote it, in both of their checkouts.

I also mis-attributed my own dirty tree to leftover work while
retracting a measurement on #3277/#3278. The dirt was this script.

## The change

Still computed, still reported loudly — only **written** under
`--update-baseline`:

```
[check-fnxc-future-dates] baseline CAN BE TIGHTENED for 1 file(s):
  packages/cli/src/__tests__/cli-active-count-lanes.test.ts: 10 -> 5
  run `pnpm check:fnxc-future-dates --update-baseline` to record it (one commit, one author)
```

**A plain run stays green rather than failing on a tightening.** Stamps
age into the past on their own, so failing would redden main on a clock
tick — which is precisely why the auto-write existed. Report, don't
enforce.

## Measured, both directions

| scenario | result |
|---|---|
| stale allowance, plain run | reports + hint; baseline **unchanged**
(verified still inflated at 10) |
| stale allowance, `--update-baseline` | `baseline written: 122 stamp(s)
in 63 file(s)`; value reset to 5 |
| clean tree, plain run | exit 0, **zero files dirty** |
| `census --strict` / eslint | 0 / clean |

The first row is the one that matters: I inflated an allowance, ran the
check, and confirmed the file was **still inflated afterwards**.
Asserting only "exit 0, no diff" would have passed even if the write had
silently succeeded and produced no net change.

## Scope

One script. CI is unaffected — it never committed the side-effect write,
so that write was always discarded there. The only behaviour change is
that an interactive run no longer edits your tree.

This is a smaller intervention than the claim-protocol I proposed
earlier in #3267, and I now think that one was treating a symptom:
workers were not colliding because they lacked a protocol, but because
the tool handed each of them the same diff.

94ed527bb1 refactor(scheduler): the capacity gate's terminal check uses the shared isTerminalColumnRole (#3262)
**Rebased. The census claim in my original title was overtaken — this is
now a correction, not a conversion.**

## Census: 0 before, 0 after

#3261 got there first, by **recording** the fallback rather than
converting it. Its `DELIBERATE` reasoning is correct and I kept it
verbatim.

## What this corrects

That note says:

> Recorded rather than converted because **there is nothing to convert
TO**.

There is. **`isTerminalColumnRole` in core is this predicate, term for
term** — verified against `column-roles.ts` rather than assumed:

| | hand-rolled | `isTerminalColumnRole` |
|---|---|---|
| flags present | `flags.complete === true \|\| flags.archived === true`
| same, via the two role helpers |
| flags undefined | `columnId === "done" \|\| columnId === "archived"` |
same, via `LEGACY_COMPLETE/ARCHIVED_COLUMN_ID` |

And the helper's own doc names this exact case — it exists *"because the
pattern `column !== \"done\" && column !== \"archived\"` is the single
most repeated shape in the backlog"* and *"keeps callers from
re-deriving it and from accidentally dropping one half."*

**The rest of #3261's argument stands and is preserved.** The
undefined-flags arm is a **live** path, and treating an unreadable
workflow as non-terminal would count a finished card's retained worktree
against live capacity. That reasoning is about the *fallback's
existence*, not about *where the predicate lives* — and the shared
helper carries the identical fallback.

Second time in this file: `isWipColumnTask` two lines up records that it
was itself once *"a hand-rolled copy of `isWipColumnRole`"*. That's an
argument for the helper being easy to miss, not for anyone being
careless.

## Coverage, stated rather than implied

**Blinding this predicate to `false` leaves all 22 scheduler suites
green (365 tests)** — the capacity logic it feeds has no behavioural
coverage at all.

The added test pins the **lane vocabulary** (both renamed terminal
lanes, the non-terminal lanes, the legacy fallback). It does **not** pin
the capacity arithmetic, which stays unguarded and belongs to that
gate's owner. Under-counting is the dangerous direction: the commit
adding the gate reports `maxWorktrees=4` with **a fifth worktree
admitted**.

## Verification

- 23 scheduler suites — **368 green**; `tsc` clean
- Census 0 → 0; DELIBERATE count unchanged at 148; inert ratchet green

e56116d8e9 chore(fnxc): retire the stale scheduler allowance left by the rollover re-record (#3283)
**The date gate passes on `main` — but not because this was fixed.**

## What actually happened

UTC rolled over to `2026-08-01`. The gate compares against the later of
local and UTC, so two `2026-08-01` stamps in `scheduler.ts` became valid
on their own. That is the ratchet's normal drop path and is fine.

`#3278` then re-recorded the baseline "after the UTC rollover", which
set `scheduler.ts` to **allow 1** — exactly enough to absorb the one
stamp that did *not* age out:

```
FNXC:ConcurrencyAdmission 2026-08-06-09:00     ← six days out, wrong on any calendar
```

So the gate reports `123 known future-dated stamp(s), none added` and
exits 0, with a stamp inside it that will not be valid until next week.

## Why this is the failure the gate exists to catch

A blanket re-record cannot distinguish **aged out** from **still
wrong**, so it launders the second past the first. The sibling ratchet
states the rule outright:

> Do NOT re-record the baseline to clear this — that is the same false
green one layer up.

This is that, one layer up again: not a guard cleared by a baseline, but
a *baseline refresh* clearing a guard as a side effect.

## The fix

- stamp repointed to `2026-08-01` — today in UTC, which is the calendar
the gate actually compares against
- **allowance removed**, not left at 1, so the entry cannot be regrown
into

**Mutation-verified**: with the allowance gone, restoring `2026-08-06`
exits **1**. Before this change the same stamp exited **0**. That is the
whole point — the ratchet can now see it.

## One thing worth carrying forward

A six-days-out stamp is not a timezone slip. Neither the old `date -u`
guidance nor the current local-date guidance in AGENTS.md would have
prevented it, and CI-only checking cannot catch it before merge. This is
the concrete case for running the date check at author time, which I
have flagged but not landed since it changes the gate's contract.

## Verification

- `check-fnxc-future-dates` — exit 0, allowance removed
- `scheduler` suites — **148 pass**
- `tsc --noEmit` (engine) — 0 errors

c67aafde1c revert(fnxc): restore seven author stamps I falsified while chasing a gate bug (#3282)
Closes #3279. Undoes the damage my #3261 did, now that #3277 has landed
and made it safe.

## What went wrong

#3277 established that last night's "future-dated" stamps were
**correct** — the author's local date in a UTC+1 container, written
minutes before their commits. The gate compared against the runner's
local calendar (PDT) and called them tomorrow.

I diagnosed it as author error and repointed seven stamps to turn main
green. The values I wrote were **neither the author's local time nor
UTC** — invented times chosen to satisfy a broken check. The FNXC record
is this project's why-does-this-exist trail, so those stamps misstated
when the work happened.

## Restored verbatim

| file | mine (wrong) | restored |
|---|---|---|
| `workflow-column-boundary-capacity.test.ts` | `22:30` |
`2026-08-01-00:30` |
| `runtimes/in-process-runtime.ts` | `22:20` | `2026-08-01-00:20` |
| `scheduler.ts` (`MissionReconciliation`) | `22:00` |
`2026-08-01-00:00` |
| `workflow-column-boundary-hooks.ts` | `22:20` | `2026-08-01-00:20` |
| `workflow-column-boundary.ts` ×2 | `22:20` | `2026-08-01-00:20` |
| `workflow-graph-task-runner.ts` | `22:20` | `2026-08-01-00:20` |

## The check that mattered

Sequencing was deliberate — #3277 had to land first or this would have
re-reddened main. The real question is whether the gate now accepts the
**originals**, measured across the rollover boundary at local
`2026-07-31 17:23 PDT` / UTC `2026-08-01 00:23`:

```
America/Los_Angeles   exit 0        Europe/Paris   exit 0
UTC                   exit 0        Asia/Tokyo     exit 0
```

`123 known future-dated stamp(s), none added`. **No baseline change
needed** — #3278's pruning already re-recorded `scheduler.ts`, and these
are known stamps rather than new ones.

Stamps only: `git diff` shows **zero** non-FNXC lines, 7 insertions / 7
deletions across 6 files. `census --strict` 0, `pnpm test:gate` 0.

## The part worth keeping

I argued against exactly this on #3263 — *"it rewrites stamps whose
authors are not us"* — and then did it myself six lines later, because I
was confident about a cause I had not checked. The commits' timestamps
were available the entire time; I read the runner's clock and never
asked what timezone the **author** was in.

Four of last night's seven PRs were fixing something that was not
broken. This is the cleanup for my share of that.

7acfaf6c10 docs(agents): date -u is the only rule safe from every timezone — #3277's new instruction inverts it (#3281)
#3277 fixed the gate correctly and I have no argument with the code:
`today = max(localToday, utcToday)`, so a stamp is future only if ahead
of **both** calendars. That is the right shape for a fleet spread across
timezones.

It reversed the **authoring rule** along with it, and that part is
backwards:

> **Write your own local date and a real clock time.** … Do NOT reach
for `date -u`

Under #3277's own comparison, that reintroduces the failure it just
fixed.

## Measured against the merged gate, on current main

```
stamp 2026-08-02  (a UTC+2 author's local date at 22:00 UTC)   gate exit=1   REJECTED
stamp 2026-08-01  (the same author using date -u)              gate exit=0   ACCEPTED
```

Run today, 2026-08-01, with the runner in PDT. Probe file added and
removed; tree clean after.

## Why `date -u` is the only safe rule

The bound is `max(localToday, utcToday)`, and **UTC only moves forward
between writing a stamp and checking it**. So a `date -u` stamp has
already been passed by the bound at check time, from every timezone,
always. No other rule has that property.

Writing your own local date is safe *only if you are not east of UTC*.
During a UTC+2 author's evening their local date is already tomorrow in
UTC, and the stamp is rejected until UTC catches up hours later — which
is exactly the "five reds in two hours" incident #3277 diagnosed. The
gate change widens the window enough that CI usually catches up before
anyone looks, but "usually, after a delay" is a race, not a rule, and it
fails hardest for the authors furthest east.

The prior instruction (`date -u`) was correct; what was wrong was its
stated *rationale* ("validates against UTC"), which is what I was fixing
in #3276 before #3277 landed. This PR keeps #3277's both-directions
history — the part that explains why neither naive rule works on its own
— and restores the prescription.

## Why not just comment on #3277

It is merged, and AGENTS.md is the file every agent reads before writing
a stamp. Leaving the inverted rule in place for a review cycle means
every east-of-UTC author in the fleet follows it. Filed as a PR so it
can be judged on the measurement rather than on my say-so — if the
numbers above are wrong, this should be closed.

**Supersedes #3276**, which documented the pre-#3277 mechanism and is
now stale. I will close it once this is judged.

Docs only; no changeset (AGENTS.md is excluded).

40bb621fd8 fix(gate): print the exact UTC stamp when the date gate fails (#3271)
## What

**Three separate commits landed a future-dated FNXC stamp this
evening**, each turning this blocking gate red on main (#3261 fixed six
across five engine files; #3270 fixes a third in core). This makes the
failure message actionable. Tooling only.

The message said *"Use the current date and a real clock time."* That
tells the author to use the value they already believed they had. It now
prints the exact stamp:

```
Current UTC stamp to use: 2026-07-31-23:39
```

Copy-paste instead of a second judgement call, computed only on a path
that has already failed.

## Why a message change rather than a rule

**The offsets are the evidence.** `00:50` against `23:34`; the engine
batch similar — consistently **1–2 hours into tomorrow**, not wrong
dates. That is the shape of a clock or timezone difference, not
carelessness, and no amount of restating the rule fixes a clock.
AGENTS.md already says to take the stamp from `date -u`; three actors
violated it in one evening anyway.

**I am one of those actors** — I have broken this rule twice today. So
this is not a complaint about anyone's diligence; it is an argument that
the instruction is doing less work than a printed value would.

## I made the same mistake inside this change

The FNXC comment documenting the fix was stamped **two minutes ahead**
of the real UTC time. Corrected from `date -u`.

**The gate did not catch it** — it scans `packages/` and not `scripts/`,
so FNXC stamps in the tooling itself are entirely unchecked. That is a
genuine scope gap and I am reporting rather than closing it: pulling
`scripts/` into scope would surface existing stamps across the tooling
and needs its own baseline pass, which does not belong in a message fix.

There is something clarifying about writing a future-dated stamp *in the
fix for future-dated stamps*, in a file the checker cannot see. It is
the same lesson this whole session kept producing — **an instrument's
blind spot is invisible in exactly the way its subject is** — and I
walked into it while holding the flashlight.

```
lint clean; gate prints the stamp on failure
```

5acd8e987b fix(fnxc): three future-dated scheduler stamps — main red through three closed fixes (#3280)
**`check-fnxc-future-dates` exits 1 on `origin/main`.**

```
packages/engine/src/scheduler.ts: 3 future-dated stamps, baseline allows 2
  FNXC:ConcurrencyAdmission     2026-08-06-09:00   (six days out)
  FNXC:WorkflowLifecycleColumns 2026-08-01-05:00
  FNXC:WorkflowScheduling       2026-08-01-01:05
```

All three repointed to `2026-07-31`, times preserved. Gate now exits 0.

## This red has outlived three owners

#3270, #3272 and #3274 were each opened against it and each **closed
without merging**. Main has been red on this gate for hours while three
fixes came and went.

Claimed with `check-file-claimed.mjs` before starting — only #3262
touches `scheduler.ts`, and it is a terminal-role refactor rather than a
stamp fix, so this was genuinely unowned.

## Why this keeps recurring

Seven incidents in roughly two hours. The mechanism, in one line: **the
date check runs only in CI** (`pr-checks.yml:66`, no pre-commit or
pre-push hook), so every PR is validated against main's baseline *at its
own CI time* and cannot see a concurrent or later change. Two PRs
stamping the same file both pass, then compose into a red main. One case
(#3273) was a stale branch **reverting** an already-merged fix.

Patching instances has not converged — this PR is the eighth attempt at
the same class. Two structural options, neither of which I am landing
unilaterally since the second changes the gate's contract:

- run the date check at **author time** (pre-push); it needs no baseline
for "is this date in the future", so it cannot be raced
- make the date rule **baseline-free** — a future-dated stamp is always
wrong, unlike a lifecycle literal that may be a deliberate fallback

`2026-08-06` being six days out also suggests these are not off-by-one
timezone slips but stamps written from an intended future date.

## Verification

- `check-fnxc-future-dates` — **exit 0** (was exit 1 on main)
- `scheduler` suites — **148 pass**
- `tsc --noEmit` (engine) — 0 errors
- comment-only diff, no behaviour change

The lifecycle-column-census test file spawned the census CLI ~14 times, each
parsing every tracked source file to a TypeScript AST (~2s for ~1960 files).
Many spawns were byte-identical, deterministic, read-only real-repo scans:
the --json census 4x, the plain report 2x, plus a repeated identical
--update-baseline tree-sync across the ratchet cases. Memoize each distinct
read-only spawn's output (keyed by argv) and reuse the synced baseline JSON,
collapsing duplicate full-AST scans without changing any assertion.

File wall-time: 30.5s -> 18.6s (-39%). 57/57 tests still pass.

1e7e6baef1 fix(fnxc): the gate compared author stamps against ONE machine's calendar — five reds in two hours (#3277)
Root-cause fix for tonight's repeated red `main`, instead of repointing
stamps one at a time — **four PRs across three lanes did that in ninety
minutes** (#3261, #3269, and my #3263 and #3272, two of which I closed
as superseded by concurrent work).

## The defect

The fleet writes stamps from **many** machines; this gate evaluates them
on **one**.

#2941 fixed the case where the author sits **west** of the runner — a
correct 5pm-in-California stamp read as "tomorrow" under a UTC
comparison — by switching to the runner's **local** calendar. The mirror
case was left open, and that is what broke `main`:

| commit | landed (PDT) | = UTC | stamp written |
|---|---|---|---|
| `9094d1640e` | 16:12 | 23:12 Jul 31 | `2026-08-01-00:20` |
| `e52da740a5` | 16:32 | 23:32 Jul 31 | `2026-08-01-00:50` |
| `3f95c6d53e` | 16:40 | 23:40 Jul 31 | `2026-08-01-01:05` |

Those are **neither** the runner's local date **nor** UTC. They are the
*author's* local date in a UTC+1 container — and they are **correct** by
this project's own convention ("authors write the local date"). The
gate, running in PDT, called all three "tomorrow" and reddened `main`
for every other lane.

## The fix

A stamp is future only if it is ahead of **both** the local and UTC
calendar dates.

- Accepts both honest directions (author east or west of the runner).
- **Preserves #2941**, doesn't revert it — west of Greenwich the local
date is the earlier of the pair, so the 5pm-in-California case still
passes.
- Still catches an invented date: `scheduler.ts`'s `2026-08-06` stamp
(six days out) remains counted, and a mutation probe at `2026-09-15`
fails the gate.

## AGENTS.md corrected in the same commit

It still instructed **`date -u`**, which describes the *pre-#2941* gate.
That instruction is now the one that **produces** the failure from any
machine east of the runner — I followed it myself earlier tonight and
repointed stamps that were already correct. Rewritten to say: write your
own local date; the gate accepts anything not ahead of both calendars.

## Baseline

Auto-tightened for **37 files** — the gate's no-author drop path. Those
allowances were false positives carried since the UTC-only era, so this
**strengthens** the ratchet rather than widening it (`scheduler.ts` 2 →
1, keeping the genuinely-invented stamp counted).

## Verification

```
check-fnxc-future-dates           green
check-inert-sync-lane-conversions green
check-lane-wiring                 green
check-sql-column-literals         green

MUTATION: FNXC:MutationProbe 2026-09-15-10:00  → gate fails (real future dates still caught)

208c32c970 chore(fnxc): re-record the future-dates baseline after the UTC rollover (92 → 64 files) (#3278)
## What

Re-records the future-dates baseline after the UTC rollover. **92 → 64
file entries.** Tooling only, no source changes.

The gate's own instruction is *"If a count went DOWN, re-record the
baseline in the same commit."* UTC is now `2026-08-01`, so every stamp
dated `2026-08-01` is dated **today** rather than after it, and **28
files no longer carry any future-dated stamp at all.**

## Why pruning matters more than the number

Those 28 files kept a non-zero allowance they no longer need, and **an
allowance is a hole a new violation can hide in.** Four separate commits
landed a future-dated stamp last evening — in that environment, a stale
allowance on a file is exactly where the fifth would go unnoticed. With
the entries pruned, the next one in any of those files is caught on the
first run instead of being absorbed silently.

This is the same direction as #3168 (*"tightens the allowance 1 → 0"*)
and #3211, just triggered by the clock rather than by a fix.

## What this is not

- **Not a correction to anyone's stamp** — no source file is touched.
- **Not a loosening** — no entry increases and no file is added.
- The **123 stamps still dated beyond today** (e.g. `2026-08-06`) keep
their existing allowances untouched.

```
baseline file entries   92 -> 64
check-fnxc-future-dates rc=0
lint                    clean
```

## Related, deliberately not included

`scheduler.ts:2258` carries `FNXC:WorkflowScheduling 2026-08-01-01:05` —
dated today, one hour ahead of the current clock. I repointed it while
preparing this change and then reverted: after the rollover it is no
longer a gate violation, and mixing a cosmetic timestamp edit into a
baseline re-record would make both harder to review. Noting it so the
residual I flagged when closing #3270 does not get lost — it is now an
accuracy nit rather than a gate concern.

79b08a2e99 gate(census): say WHY role and status are not backlog, where the numbers print (#3275)
## The hazard

The column backlog is **0**. The two largest numbers the census prints
are now `ROLE (12)` and `STATUS (185)`, sitting directly beneath it,
labelled only `(not guards)`.

That is a verdict with no reason. For a worker under a directive to
drive a census down — finding the backlog line already at zero and two
bigger numbers underneath — "(not guards)" is thin protection. This PR
puts the reason where the numbers are.

## Why they are genuinely not backlog

Both classify by **receiver**, not by the literal
(`ROLE_RECEIVER_TOKENS` = `role, agentType, agent, lane, capability,
sessionPurpose, surface, purpose, agentRole`; status matches
`/status/i`). A legacy column id next to one of those is a different
domain that happens to share vocabulary with the old board. Sampled from
the current tree, not reasoned:

| site | receiver | what it actually is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `packages/cli/src/commands/task.ts:529` | `outcome === "archived"` | a
task **outcome** |
| `.../routes/register-chat-routes.ts:894` | `type === "done"` | a chat
**message type** |
| `.../cli-agent/telemetry-hub.ts:304` | `kind === "done"` | a telemetry
**kind** |
| `packages/cli/src/commands/goals.ts:178` | `status === "archived"` | a
**goal's** status |
| `packages/cli/src/commands/mission.ts:145` | `status ===
"in-progress"` | a **mission's** status |

None is a task column, so none has a workflow lane to resolve against.
Converting a goal's `status === "archived"` to a column trait would not
remove a legacy id — **it asks the wrong object for a lane it does not
have**, and the resulting bug would be invisible on the default board
for precisely the reason every inert conversion is. That is 185
opportunities to inject a real defect while a number goes down.

## Output-only, verified

Counts, JSON, baseline comparison and exit codes are untouched:

```
--strict exit=0
json totals: {"column": 0, "role": 12, "status": 185, "deliberate": 150}   # byte-identical
```

60 census tests pass (`lifecycle-column-census.test.ts`,
`census-reclassification-message.test.ts`). `lifecycle-columns`,
`move-target-literals`, `inert-sync-lanes`, `quarantine-ledger` all exit
0.

## Provenance

I raised "role/status have no inertness proof behind them" several times
as a reason not to touch them, which was too weak — it implied the work
might be valid pending proof. Rather than leave that hanging I went and
looked. They are not unproven conversions; they are **not conversions at
all**. Correcting my own earlier framing, and putting the finding where
the next person will hit it instead of in a report they will not read.

No changeset — internal tooling.

29eb512d57 docs(solutions): the general shape — a green that answers a different question (#3273)
Extends the doc merged in #3255 with two more instances of the same
pattern, both found this session, **neither involving a ratchet**. Four
instances now, from four unrelated directions:

| what was read as "pass" | what the green actually meant |
| --- | --- |
| `node scripts/check-*.mjs` exits 0 | report-only mode — the failure
path needs `--strict` |
| a census reports 0 for a new file | the file is untracked, so it was
never scanned |
| a backgrounded `cmd > log; grep …` reports exit 0 | that is `grep`'s
status; the suite inside had 8 failures |
| a rebased branch's tests pass | the rebase never started, so it ran on
the **old** base |

The two new ones are worth writing down because they are not about
tooling anyone built here — they are about how results are read.

**Exit codes belong to the last command in the pipeline.** A
backgrounded `run_tests > log 2>&1; echo done; grep X log` exits with
`grep`'s status, so the harness reported "completed, exit code 0" for a
dashboard suite that had 8 failures. I nearly recorded that suite as
green. Read the summary out of the log; never infer a suite's result
from a wrapper's exit code.

**A failed rebase leaves you on the old base, and the tests still pass
there.** `git rebase` refused with `cannot rebase: You have unstaged
changes`, so the branch never moved. `git diff origin/main` then listed
20+ files including other workers' commits — which reads exactly like my
branch had reverted their work — and a full test run on that tree came
back green. Both signals were true about a tree nobody cared about.

```
git merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main HEAD
```

said STALE while the tests said pass. That is the only check that
separates the two, and it belongs before any claim of "verified on
current main".

The shared tell, stated once: **a result too clean, or too alarming, for
what changed.** Every probe shape passing including ones that obviously
should not; a two-file branch appearing to revert twenty. When the
answer does not fit the size of the question, find out what was actually
measured before believing it.

## Verification

Docs only; no code paths change. `lifecycle-columns`,
`move-target-literals`, `inert-sync-lanes`, `quarantine-ledger` all exit
0. No changeset — AGENTS.md excludes internal docs.

**Pre-existing red, not from this branch:** `check:fnxc-future-dates`
currently fails on main from a `2026-08-01-00:50` stamp in
`packages/core/src/task-store/lifecycle-ops.ts` (commit `e52da740a5`) —
a timezone-ahead clock writing tomorrow's date, at 23:45 UTC. Already
claimed by **#3269 and #3270**, so I have not touched it; flagging only
so this branch's CI result is not misattributed. It is the same
recurring class this doc's sibling rule addresses: take the stamp from
`date -u`, not the local clock.

91c3854607 fix(fnxc): the last future-dated stamp keeping main red (#3269)
**`check-fnxc-future-dates` exits 1 on `origin/main`.** This is the last
stamp causing it.

```
packages/core/src/task-store/lifecycle-ops.ts: 1 future-dated FNXC stamp, baseline allows 0
  FNXC:Diagnostics 2026-08-01-00:50   (today is 2026-07-31)
```

Corrected to `2026-07-31-00:50`. One character.
`check-fnxc-future-dates` now exits 0; `tsc --noEmit` clean.

## Why this was left behind

Four PRs converged on this red main — #3262, #3263, #3265, and my own
#3266 (closed as superseded). Between them they covered the census rise
and the boundary-work stamps. **None touched `lifecycle-ops.ts`**, so
the gate stayed red after the others landed.

That is the predictable failure of parallel work on one symptom:
everyone fixes the part they saw first, and the residue survives because
each author checked "is main green now?" against their own branch rather
than against main.

## I claimed before working this time

```
node scripts/check-file-claimed.mjs packages/core/src/task-store/lifecycle-ops.ts
  → UNCLAIMED
```

Then pushed the branch before editing. I did the opposite on #3266 —
built it, then discovered #3265 already covered it — which was the sixth
duplication of the phase and my third. The tool answers in one command;
the discipline is running it *first*.

## Verification

- `check-fnxc-future-dates` — **exit 0** (was exit 1 on main)
- `census --strict` — exit 0 (already green; #3265's marker landed)
- `tsc --noEmit` (core) — 0 errors
- one-character diff, no behaviour change

8e6b0ad67e test(engine): main is red — the census preconditions were MET, repoint two guards that expired on success (#3260)
## main is red, and this is the second half of it

Running the full `engine-default` project on `origin/main` — 754 files,
10,538 tests — returns **3 files / 4 tests failing**. One is the
parked-seam audit counter, fixed in #3258. The other three are here.

All three assert that lifecycle debt **still exists**. It does not:

| assertion | expected | actual |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `finds >10 literal move targets, so the census is not vacuous` | > 10
| **0** |
| `both recoveryRehome groups are non-empty` | > 0 each | **0 / 0** |
| `still says ROSE when guards genuinely grew` | exit 1 | **exit 0**
(mutation was a no-op) |

Nothing regressed. The conversion program drove the engine's literal
move-target population to zero and the census baseline to zero entries.
**Each guard's premise was "the debt still exists", so each expired the
moment the work succeeded — and expired by failing, which reads as a
regression in the very thing it was guarding.**

The third is the sharpest: it manufactured a rise by finding a baseline
entry with more than one guard and zeroing it. With `byFile` empty there
was nothing to find, so it mutated nothing, the census correctly passed,
and the test asserted exit 1 against a correct pass.

## Repointed, not deleted

A vacuity guard must not depend on real debt existing. Two halves:

- **Vacuity now runs against a synthetic fixture** — a small in-memory
source with three `moveTask` literals (one with `recoveryRehome`, one
targeting an undeclared column). The collector is exercised forever
regardless of how much real debt remains. This is what keeps the rest
honest: at a real population of 0 the zero-assertions are trivially
true, and **only the fixture proves they would still fire**.
- **The real-tree assertions now assert zero**, so a reintroduced
literal move target fails them. Same guarantee as before, pointed at the
state the tree is actually in.

The ROSE case builds its own one-file tree through the
`FUSION_CENSUS_FILE_ROOT`/`FILE_LIST` seam from #3230 rather than
borrowing a baseline entry that no longer exists — a rise
**constructed** instead of borrowed. It also now asserts the failure is
*not* the reclassification wording, which is the distinction that file
exists to protect.

## Verification

| mutation | expected | result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| reintroduce a literal `moveTask(id, "in-review")` in the engine | fail
| exit 1 ✅ |
| blind the collector to return `[]` | fail | exit 1 ✅ |
| remove the `ROSE` wording from the census script | fail | exit 1 ✅ |
| clean tree | pass | exit 0 ✅ |

60 tests green across the three census suites. All eight ratchets exit
0. Test-only; no changeset.

**One honest note on my own method.** My first `ROSE` mutation replaced
1 of the 2 occurrences in the script and the test stayed green — which
looks exactly like a dead assertion. It was an ineffective mutation, not
a dead test; the manual run still printed `ROSE` from the other
occurrence. Re-run against both, it failed. A mutation that does not
actually change behaviour proves nothing, and it is worth checking that
the mutation landed before concluding the test is dead — the same trap
as reading a report-only ratchet's exit 0 as a pass.

## Not in scope

`defaultColumnIds()` has a pre-existing type error (`Property 'columns'
does not exist on WorkflowIrV1` — union narrowing). Untouched by this PR
and the test executes fine; flagging rather than fixing, since it is
unrelated to the red.

78d411cfe2 fix: main is RED on two gates — record the new fallback, repoint six future-dated stamps (#3261)
`9094d1640e` (globalPause gates every graph node entry) reddened **two**
lifecycle gates on main. Both are fixed here, in separate commits.

## 1. The census ratchet went 0 → 2

`isTerminalColumnTask` in `scheduler.ts`:

```ts
const flags = columnFlagsForTask(task);
if (flags) return flags.complete === true || flags.archived === true;
return task.column === "done" || task.column === "archived";   // ← counted
```

**The code is correct.** It resolves traits first and falls back only
when the workflow is unreadable. The census counts fallback literals on
purpose — *"a fallback literal is still a literal and should go when the
trait path becomes unconditional"* — and reports them beside the backlog
as already-converted. Its own remedy for a legitimate one is a
`DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker at the site.

Recorded rather than converted because **there is nothing to convert
to**: a task whose workflow cannot be read has no resolved lane, and
treating it as non-terminal would count a finished card's retained
worktree against live capacity — the opposite of what the surrounding
fix does.

Marker sits in the declaration's **leading** comments; an inline one
attaches to the wrong node and is silently ignored, which cost a
miscount once before. Baseline re-recorded in the same commit, since the
census tracks deliberate counts and reports a marker addition as
`RECLASSIFIED`.

## 2. The stamp gate was red as well

Six files stamped `2026-08-01-00:2x` while UTC was `2026-07-31`:

```
workflow-column-boundary.ts             2      workflow-graph-task-runner.ts   1
workflow-column-boundary-hooks.ts       1      in-process-runtime.ts           5 (allows 4)
workflow-column-boundary-capacity.test  1
```

This checkout is UTC-7, so "just after midnight local" is tomorrow in
UTC — the case AGENTS.md documents, which passes `pnpm lint` locally
*because* the local clock agrees with what was written. Second
occurrence today; I fixed the same shape on #3208 for another worker.

Repointed to `2026-07-31-22:2x`, preserving relative order. **Zero
non-comment lines changed** — 8 lines across 6 files, verified by
diffing out FNXC lines.

## Measured

| check | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `census --strict` | **1** | **0** |
| backlog | **2** | **0** (DELIBERATE-LITERAL 148 → 150) |
| `check-fnxc-future-dates` | **1** | **0** |
| `pnpm test:gate` | 0 | 0 |
| `census-reclassification-message` | 2 failed | **1 failed** |

That last row is deliberate: the remaining failure is the
expired-premise case #3260 fixes, and I have not touched it. The
capacity test from `9094d1640e` still passes 9/9.

## Why this landed at all

Both gates run in `pr-checks.yml`, so a PR carrying either would have
gone red. Worth someone checking how it merged — a stale merge base
would explain it, and if so the same hole is open for the next merge.

d14294b6cb docs(solutions): add the count-based probe, which the report-only trap cannot fool (#3257)
## What

Adds one technique to #3255. Docs only.

#3255 records that probing a ratchet **by exit code** can read green
because the tool is report-only without `--strict` — a real trap that
nearly got a healthy gate reported as dead. There is a second technique
that sidesteps it entirely and is strictly more informative: **parse the
tool's own per-file count.**

```bash
node scripts/check-move-target-literals.mjs 2>&1 | grep -a "my-probe-tmp" \
  | grep -aoE "^ +[0-9]+" | tr -d ' '
```

**Immune to the report-only trap** — a report-only run still *prints*
the count, so the number moves 0 → 1 whether or not `--strict` was
passed.

**It measures which shapes, not just whether something fired.** An exit
code is one bit for the whole run. Auditing a detector means asking *"of
these five spellings, which are seen?"*, and five separate binary runs
cannot distinguish **partial** detection from a probe file that failed
to compile. The move-target audit read `direct 1 / backtick 1 / ternary
0 / const 0` in a single run, which named the gap immediately.

## Both belong

| question | technique |
|---|---|
| **can this ratchet fail at all?** | `pnpm check:*` — ask this first
(#3255 §1) |
| **what can it see?** | per-file counts — an exit code is too coarse |

I also added a caveat that applies to both: confirm the probe is
actually being scanned by watching the tool's **scanned-file total**
move. A probe that never compiled and a probe the tool never discovered
both report zero hits, and neither is a finding — that one cost me a
wasted measurement before I noticed the total had stayed at 1961.

## Why this is worth a follow-up rather than a comment

#3255's rule as written — *"use `pnpm check:*`, not a bare `node
scripts/...`"* — would have made the shape-coverage audits impossible,
since `--strict` collapses five distinct per-form answers into one bit.
The rule is right for its question and wrong for the other one, and the
distinction is easy to lose once only the rule survives in someone's
memory.

c8a6af13a0 test(census): pin file DISCOVERY, which every existing test was blind to (#3259)
Follow-through on the recommendation I made reviewing #3256: **a gate
needs a test for its file discovery, not only its matcher.**

## The gap

This suite pinned the matcher and never the scan. Every case either
feeds the classifier a source string or drives the CLI against the real
tree — so **the file list could return empty and all 53 tests would
still pass.**

Not hypothetical. `git ls-files` lists tracked files only, so a new file
with a plain `task.column === "in-review"` scored 0 until staged
(#3254). The identical bug then turned up in the move-target ratchet
**behind its own 12 matcher tests** (#3256) — I wrote those 12
specifically to stop that gate regressing, and they could not see it,
because they import the matcher and never run a scan.

## Four cases, on a synthetic tree

Driven through `FUSION_CENSUS_FILE_ROOT` + `FUSION_CENSUS_FILE_LIST`, so
discovery is testable without creating files inside a checkout the
operator writes to concurrently:

- a guard in a scanned file **reaches the classifier** and is counted
- `--strict` fails **for the right reason** (message names the file; not
an ENOENT fail-closed)
- **every** listed file is counted, not just the first
- files are read from the **scan root**, so a listed path and a read
path cannot diverge

## The second case earns its wording

Its first version asserted only `code === 1` — and **passed while
discovery was broken.** With the injected list ignored, paths come from
the real repo while reads resolve against the fixture root, every read
misses, and the gate fails closed with exit 1. Right code, unrelated
cause.

A test that cannot tell *"found a guard"* from *"could not read
anything"* is not testing the ratchet. Asserting the message is what
separates them.

I found that only by checking which cases the control actually failed —
3 of 4, not 4 of 4. Had I stopped at "the control fails, ship it", I
would have added a test that passes for the wrong reason to a suite
whose whole purpose is catching tests that pass for the wrong reason.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| suite | **57 passed** (53 + 4) |
| anti-vacuity: `injectedList` forced undefined | **all 4 fail** (3/4
before strengthening case 2) |
| restored | 57/57 |
| `census --strict` / `check-fnxc-future-dates` | 0 / 0 |

Tests only — no gate or product change. The same four assertions port
directly to the other lifecycle gates once each grows the fixture seam;
the move-target ratchet is the obvious next one, and its `.mjs` is
currently claimed by #3256.

f3d7b73741 test(engine): main is red — re-record the parked-seam audit at 4-of-6, split by resolution path (#3258)
## main is red

`workflow-optional-role-param-caller-audit-live-e2e.pg.test.ts` fails on
`origin/main` in `engine-default`:

```
AssertionError: expected 4 to be 2
  expect(parkedConverted.length).toBe(2);
```

Found by running the whole live-E2E corpus rather than trusting that it
passes — 27 files, 159 tests, 1 red. Not in the merge gate, so it has
been sitting there. The alarm fired **downward**, exactly as that file
was written to: two more call sites started passing `parkedColumns`, and
a counter fails when someone *closes* a gap as well as when someone
widens it.

## Why I did not just write 4

Re-recording it at 4 would have laundered an inert conversion through
the audit written to catch inert conversions. Walking all six sites
before touching the number:

| site | `parkedColumns` provenance | verdict |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `agent-heartbeat.ts:1267` | — | unconverted |
| `agent-heartbeat.ts:3796` | — | unconverted |
| `self-healing.ts:13184` | `await resolveProjectColumnsForRoles`
(:13170) | async-resolved |
| `self-healing.ts:13294` | `await resolveProjectColumnsForRoles`
(:13293) | async-resolved |
| `task-agent-sync.ts:243` | `await resolveLinkSyncColumnRoles` (:225) |
async-resolved |
| `scheduler.ts:1798` | `resolveTaskParkedColumnsSync` (:1797) | **SYNC
— INERT** |

`scheduler.ts:1798` resolves through `resolveTaskParkedColumnsSync` →
`getTaskWorkflowSelectionImpl`, which is `undefined` for every task
under PostgreSQL. The resolver then takes its `!workflowId` branch and
returns the **default builtin IR** — not `undefined` falling through to
a legacy arm, but a real IR resolving real traits, with full confidence.
It answers `hold`/`intake` as `todo`/`triage` on every board, exactly as
the literal did. Driven proof:
`workflow-scheduler-sync-role-conversion-inert-live-e2e.pg.test.ts`.

**The shape count (4) and the live count (3) are different numbers, and
only the second is about behaviour.** Both are now asserted, plus the
sync-resolved site by name so it cannot quietly become "just one of the
four".

## A mistake worth recording, because the test caught it

My first draft keyed on `await` appearing inside the call window. The
argument is nearly always a variable (`[...driftedParkedColumns]`,
`roles.parked`) and the `await` lives in that variable's **assignment**,
several lines above. That draft classified all four sites as inert — and
it **would have passed** had I written the expected number to match what
it measured. It failed only because I asserted 2 live from reading the
source first, and the mismatch exposed the detector.

Classification is now by provenance: take the root identifier, find
where the file assigns it, ask whether *that* is awaited. The same bug
recurred in my named-site check and failed the same way.

That is the whole hazard of this program in miniature — a source-text
audit that measures nothing looks exactly like one that measures
everything, and it is the *number you expected* that catches it, not the
green.

## Not asserted, deliberately

`self-healing.ts:13184` is inert for an unrelated reason: its gate is
`hasFreshRun || hasActiveExecution` and never reads
`shouldPreserveParkedLink`, so its correctly-resolved set decides
nothing today. Its own FNXC note says so. Resolution path is
mechanically checkable; "the gate never reads the answer" is not, and
asserting it on a string match would produce a number nobody could
maintain. Recorded as prose in the header.

I also did not touch `scheduler.ts`. It is a real defect, not a
deferral, but converting it is not this file's job — it is named in the
test so the next person converting it is sent here to move it from the
inert list to the live one.

## Verification

Mutation-verified — a passing audit proves nothing until it has been
seen to fail:

| mutation | expected | result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| convert the scheduler site to the async resolver | fail (3/1 → 4/0) |
exit 1 ✅ |
| drop `parkedColumns` from a converted site | fail (shape 4 → 3) | exit
1 ✅ |
| add a new unconverted caller | fail (calls 6 → 7) | exit 1 ✅ |
| clean tree | pass | exit 0 ✅ |

Full 27-file live-E2E corpus green (159 tests). Ratchets exit 0.
Test-only; no changeset.

1660b136d7 fix(gate): the move-target ratchet could not see a file until it was committed (#3256)
## What

**#3254 fixed this blind spot in the census. It was still present
here.** Found by re-running that probe against the other four lifecycle
gates. No product change.

`git ls-files` lists **tracked** files only, so a brand-new file
containing `moveTask(id, "done")` scored **0** locally and flipped the
ratchet the moment it was staged. The author sees a green gate, commits,
and CI disagrees — the worst possible feedback order.

It is also the exact shape that made my own first census probe measure
nothing while reading as "no gap", which is how the class was found in
the first place.

Fixed the way #3254 did — `--cached --others --exclude-standard` — plus
a dedupe, because a path can appear under **both** flags in some index
states and would otherwise count twice against a baseline expecting one.

## Measured

```
untracked probe:            0 detected before  ->  1 after
--strict on a clean tree:   green before and after   (no false positives)
lint clean; fnxc-future-dates: none added
```

## The other gates, measured in the same pass

| gate | sees untracked files? |
|---|---|
| `lifecycle-column-census` | ✅ since #3254 |
| `check-sql-column-literals` | ✅ already |
| `check-inert-sync-lane-conversions` | ✅ already — walks the filesystem
with `readdirSync` |
| `check-lane-wiring` | n/a — does not use `ls-files` |
| `check-move-target-literals` | ❌ → **fixed here** |

This was the last gate with the gap. All five now agree about what a
file is.

## Correction to #3250

I wrote there that this script *"has no export seam and runs at
import"*, and used that to justify shipping without a unit test. **It
does have a seam** — an `isEntryPoint` guard — so a test could import it
without triggering the scan.

That does not change #3250's conclusion (its revert-proof measurement
stands on its own), but the stated reason was wrong, and it was wrong in
the direction that excused less testing. Correcting it here rather than
leaving it as precedent.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Local source-file checks now include newly created and untracked
files.
* Duplicate file entries are removed when files appear in multiple Git
states.
  * Existing tracked-file and CI scanning behavior remains unchanged.

9690f46439 docs(solutions): probe the instrument the way CI runs it (#3255)
Records two instrument-level defects found this session. Both were in
the tools the program uses as ground truth, and both looked exactly like
a pass.

## 1. A ratchet that could not fail from the command I typed

`check-move-target-literals` is report-only unless given `--strict`,
which `package.json` supplies. Probed bare, it returned **exit 0 for
every probe** — including a blatant `moveTask(id, "in-review")` pasted
into `scheduler.ts`.

That is the exact signature of a dead ratchet, and I nearly reported
another worker's guard as inert on the strength of it. The guard was
fine; my invocation could not fail. What makes it dangerous is the
output: a report-only run prints its normal summary line and exits 0, so
the terminal is indistinguishable from a genuine pass.

## 2. A ratchet that could not see the file I had just written

`lifecycle-column-census` and `check-move-target-literals` discovered
files with `git ls-files` — **tracked only** — while the other five walk
the filesystem.

| new file with a plain legacy guard | result |
| --- | --- |
| same guard in an already-tracked file | caught |
| new file, untracked | **missed, exit 0** |
| identical file, `git add`ed | caught, exit 1 |

The detectors are fine. The blindness is discovery, and it lands at the
one moment the number is consulted: add a helper, check your own work,
read zero, commit — and it surfaces later in someone else's CI run,
attributed to a push instead of to the edit. The tool was answering
about the last commit while being asked about the working tree.

## 3. Why it is worth a doc rather than two one-line fixes

Individually these are cheap. Together they cost a day.

Because `check-inert-sync-lane-conversions` walks the filesystem and the
census did not, the **same probe file** was caught by one and missed by
the other. I read that differential as a claim about expression walking
and investigated it as one — the real cause was that two instruments in
the same program disagreed about which files exist.

When the measuring tools disagree about their own domain, every
differential between them is unreadable until someone notices. That is
the transferable lesson, and it is not visible from either fix alone.

## Status of the fixes

- Census discovery scope: **#3254** (open).
- Type-assertion blind spot in the sync-lane ratchet: **#3252** (open).
- `check-move-target-literals` discovery scope: reported to **#3253**,
whose author is already in that file — not touching it.

## Verification

Docs only; no code paths change. All eight ratchets exit 0. No changeset
— AGENTS.md excludes internal docs.

b7c7977c09 fix(gate): catch cast move-targets, keep ?? fallbacks unflagged, and pin all of it (#3253)
Follow-up to #3250. Two changes, and **one of them is a decision not to
widen** — which is the part I would review first.

## Caught now: the cast form

```ts
moveTask(id, "done" as ColumnId)   // was invisible
```

Columns are typed `ColumnId`, so a cast is the **natural** spelling
wherever the parameter is nominally typed. The gate was weakest exactly
where this codebase is most likely to write a literal.
Cast-wrapping-a-ternary is caught too.

## Deliberately NOT caught: `??` / `||` / `&&`

I recommended these arms on #3250. **I was wrong, and the tree proved
it.** Adding them flagged:

```ts
moveTask(id, (await resolveTaskLifecycleColumns(store, id))?.complete ?? "done", ...)
```

That is the fail-soft idiom this entire programme rests on — resolve,
fall back to the legacy id when the workflow is unreadable, exactly as
the role helpers degrade. It is the **correct** pattern.

A gate that demands a `DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker on every safe fallback
teaches people to add markers by habit, and a habitual marker is how the
next real literal walks straight through. So: a legacy id **after** `??`
is the safe shape and stays unflagged; a legacy id as the **whole**
destination is caught. Backed out, with the reasoning at the site so
nobody re-adds it.

If you disagree, the counter-argument is that a fallback could mask a
lane that should have resolved — but that wants its own report, not this
ratchet's exit code.

## Pinned — the gate had no tests at all

Fifth spelling missed across three rounds, and every earlier probe was
run by hand and thrown away, because the scanner executed on import.
Commit 1 makes it importable (behaviour-preserving, `--strict`
identical); commit 2 adds **12 tests in both directions**:

| catches | does not catch |
|---|---|
| direct, backtick, ternary, nested ternary, parenthesised, cast,
cast-over-ternary | `??` fallback, `\|\|` fallback, resolved
destination, substituted template |

The negatives are load-bearing, not padding — four of them encode false
positives that either shipped or arrived while widening.

## The root cause, recorded in the test header

**The destination is a POSITION; every fix so far has enumerated NODE
KINDS.** A kind list is something the language extends faster than we
guess — I started that pattern myself in #3246 by requiring
`arguments[1]` to *be* a literal. The durable defence is that each shape
someone finds stays found.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| real tree | **0** targets, `--strict` exit 0 (the `??` false positive
is gone) |
| gate tests | **12 pass / 0 fail** |
| anti-vacuity | removing the cast arm **fails** the suite; restoring
passes |
| eslint / `check-fnxc-future-dates` | clean / 0 |

One test corrected itself during writing: I asserted `"drafting"`
extracts to `[]`, and it returns `["drafting"]` — legacy filtering is
the caller's job. Kept as a test of that split, since folding the
vocabulary into the extractor would force every future shape to thread
the legacy list.

78d5efbcaf gate: the census could not see a file until it was committed (#3254)
## Why I went looking

The fleet directive is to claim the largest census file cluster. There
is no cluster — the backlog is **0 guards / 0 files**. So the useful
question is whether that 0 is *true*, since the whole phase steers by
it. I had just found a blind spot in my own ratchet (#3252), so I probed
this one the same way.

## What the probes found

A plain, unremarkable guard in a new file scored **zero**:

```ts
// packages/engine/src/probe-helper.ts
export function g(task: { column: string }): boolean {
  return task.column === "in-review";
}
```

Not a cast, not an obfuscation — the exact canonical shape the census
exists to count. It scored 0 in six different directories, and it scored
0 with every cast variant too, which is what initially made this look
like a repeat of #3252.

It is not. The same guard pasted into `scheduler.ts` counted immediately
(0 → 2 with two probes, casts included). The census walks expressions
fine. The miss was **file discovery**: `git ls-files` lists **tracked
files only**, so the file did not exist as far as the census was
concerned. `git add` it and `--strict` goes to exit 1 on the spot.

## What this does and does not mean

**It does not mean the backlog number is wrong.** Everything on `main`
is committed, so CI has always seen the whole tree, and I re-confirmed
the committed totals are unchanged by this PR: `{"column": 0, "role":
12, "status": 185, "deliberate": 148}`. **Backlog 0 is real.** I want
that stated plainly rather than buried, because "ratchet has a hole"
invites the opposite reading.

**What it does mean** is that the census was blind at the one moment
anyone actually consults it. A worker adds a helper, runs the census
against their own work, reads 0, commits — and the guard lands,
attributed to a push rather than to the edit that introduced it. The
instrument was answering about the last commit while being asked about
the working tree.

## The fix

`--cached --others --exclude-standard`, plus a dedupe (a path can appear
under both flags in some index states, which would double every guard in
that file).

| case | before | after |
| --- | --- | --- |
| untracked new file with a guard | 0 | **1** |
| same file, staged | 1 | 1 (dedupe holds — not 2) |
| ignored path (`dist/`) | 0 | 0 (build output still excluded) |
| committed tree | 0 | 0 (backlog unchanged) |

## The part worth keeping

This also **aligns the scope with `check-inert-sync-lane-conversions`**,
which walks the filesystem via `readdirSync` and so always saw untracked
files.

That mismatch is not cosmetic — it is what made #3252 expensive. The
same probe was *caught* by one instrument and *missed* by the other, and
I spent a full investigation treating that as a claim about expression
walking when part of it was two tools disagreeing about which files
exist. When instruments in one program disagree on their own domain,
every differential between them is unreadable until you notice.

## Verification

- Mutation-verified in both directions on all four cases above.
- 53 `lifecycle-column-census.test.ts` tests pass.
- All eight ratchets exit 0; `pnpm test:gate` exit 0.
- Working tree confirmed clean after every probe.

## What I did not do

I did not touch `role: 12` or `status: 185`. Those are different metrics
with no inertness proof behind them, and driving them down is a separate
unit that needs saying explicitly — a conversion there could be cosmetic
and nothing currently would catch it.
