f411d55591 test(docs): the PLUGIN_AUTHORING TOC guard rejected legal nested entries, and has been red on main (#3036)
## A legal Markdown sub-entry turned this guard red

```
AssertionError: Invalid TOC line: - [Theming & Overlay Layering for Dashboard Views](#theming--overlay-layering-for-dashboard-views)
```

That line is an ordinary nested TOC entry, indented under item 8 of
`docs/PLUGIN_AUTHORING.md`. The parser did `.map(line => line.trim())`
**first** and then required every line to match the top-level `N.
[title](#anchor)` shape — so indentation, the one thing distinguishing a
sub-entry from a malformed top-level one, was destroyed before it could
be used.

**The doc was never wrong.** Only the parser was, and it has been red on
`main` since the entry was added.

Indentation is now read before trimming. Sub-entries are still required
to be well-formed links; they just do not participate in the numbering
or the count.

## Both guard directions verified by breaking them

A looser parser that skipped anything unrecognised would have made the
failure go away while quietly ending the guard's usefulness — so I
checked it still fails in both directions:

| mutation | result |
| --- | --- |
| top-level `9.` rewritten as a bullet | still fails (`Invalid TOC
line`) |
| nested entry replaced with un-linked prose | still fails (`Invalid
nested TOC line`) |

## The wider finding, which matters more than this fix

I found it by sweeping `scripts/__tests__` against clean `main`: **688
passing, 7 failing test files.**

| suite | failing assertion |
| --- | --- |
| `ci-test-shard-timings` | committed timing snapshot references live
test files |
| `dependency-security-floor` | pnpm overrides pin transitive protobufjs
to a safe floor |
| `engine-vitest-gate-policy` | pg gate canaries remain a subset of the
enabled suite |
| `plugin-authoring-docs` | **this PR** |
| `release-prompt-gate` | release dry-run exits before proceed
confirmation |
| `verify-fast` | defaults to every canonical pretest validator |
| `workflow-reliability-release-check` | manifest references existing
seam files |

All sit **outside the merge gate**. That is now the third instance of
this pattern I have hit — #2969's 15 red agent-action tests and #3033's
stale ratchet list were the others — and it is clearly systemic rather
than incidental.

I fixed only the one in plugin territory. The rest span CI sharding,
**dependency security** (that protobufjs floor is a security assertion
currently not holding), release gating and workflow manifests. Each
needs its owner's judgement about whether the assertion or the world is
wrong, and a drive-by "make it green" is exactly how a real signal gets
erased — `dependency-security-floor` especially.

## Verification (measured)

- this suite — **4 passed / 0 failed** (was 1 failed)
- `eslint` — clean

Test-only; the doc is untouched. No changeset.

83294a6958 fix(test): the protobufjs security floor was asserted against an empty object (reads like a deleted pin; it moved) (#3035)
`scripts/__tests__` has **seven** files failing on main. None are in the
merge gate, so nobody is blocked — which is exactly how this survived.
This fixes the one that names a real risk.

## It reads like a deleted security pin. It isn't.

```
AssertionError: package.json pnpm.overrides: protobufjs range undefined
                must include an explicit semver version
```

#2220 moved pnpm overrides from `package.json` to `pnpm-workspace.yaml`
for pnpm 11 readiness. The assertion kept reading `package.json`, where
`pnpm.overrides` is now `{}`.

**Nothing was ever exposed**: `pnpm-workspace.yaml` still pins
`protobufjs: ^7.5.8` and the lockfile resolves `7.6.5`, comfortably
above the 7.5.5 floor. The sibling assertion that checks lockfile
resolutions has been passing the whole time — which is the only reason
this was survivable.

But no reader could distinguish this message from a genuinely removed
pin without doing the archaeology, and a guard that is permanently red
while naming a real risk teaches its readers that red means nothing
here. That is worse than no guard: it launders a real removal into
background noise.

## Measured both ways

| change to `pnpm-workspace.yaml` | result |
|---|---|
| pin removed | **fails** — `protobufjs range undefined must include an
explicit semver version` |
| pin lowered to `^7.4.0` | **fails** — `range ^7.4.0 is below required
floor 7.5.5` |
| unchanged | passes |

## Second assertion

`package.json` must declare **no** `pnpm.overrides`. If overrides move
again — or come back — that fails and points at the next reader, instead
of letting the floor go silently unchecked. That is precisely the
failure mode #2220 produced, and nothing would otherwise catch a second
occurrence.

## The other six

Left alone deliberately; each needs its own diagnosis and they are
unrelated to one another (I checked — the "seven files, one failure
each" pattern looked like a common cause and is not):

- `workflow-reliability-release-check` — manifest references
`workflow-definition-store.test.ts`, which no longer exists. **Likely a
real signal**: a release check pointing at a deleted seam file covers
nothing. Best next one to pick up.
- `ci-test-shard-timings` — snapshot references missing test files;
affects shard balancing.
- `verify-fast`, `engine-vitest-gate-policy` — validator/canary list
drift.
- `plugin-authoring-docs` — a TOC anchor for a heading containing `&`.
- `release-prompt-gate` — dry-run no longer exits before the proceed
confirmation.

## Verification

`node --test scripts/__tests__/dependency-security-floor.test.mjs` **4
passed** · `pnpm test:gate` 161 + 13 + 487 + 71 · lint · changesets —
green.

ccf562f178 gate: compare mirrored INTERFACES too, and delete the dead prop that found (#3034)
> **Re-landing the second half of #3031.** That PR merged into #3029's
branch and only its first commit reached `main` — the arity rule
shipped, the interface rule and its finding did not. Verified on `main`:
the gate reports *"7 mirrored function(s)"* with no interface count, and
the dead prop below is still there.

## What

The arity rule covers exported functions. The same files also mirror
**interfaces**, which is the larger surface — six copies of
`PluginDashboardViewContext` alone.

**One direction only.** A mirror may declare *fewer* properties, and all
six do (6, 8, 7, 7, 3, 6 against the real nine) because a plugin mirrors
the fields it uses. Demanding equality would fail every plugin for not
using everything — which is how a check gets ignored and then deleted. A
property the real type **doesn't have** is the drift that matters: a
rename nobody propagated, where the plugin keeps compiling and reads a
field the host never sends.

## Its first interface run found a live one

```
dashboard-interop.d.ts:67  TaskCardProps.workflowStepNameLookup is not a property of the real TaskCardProps
```

Git history says it **was** one when FN-2466 and FN-7039 added this
threading. The dashboard removed it later; nothing propagated that to
the plugin's hand-written declaration. So the plugin built a lookup map
from `context.workflowSteps` on every render, threaded it through two
components, and handed it to a `TaskCard` with no such prop.

Deleted rather than exempted — a new gate shouldn't ship with a waiver
for its own first finding. Behaviour-preserving: the value never reached
anything.

## Measured on `main`

| check | result |
|---|---|
| population | **7 functions + 10 interfaces across 6 plugins**, all
matching after the deletion |
| control probe | phantom property **caught**; clean tree exits 0 |
| anti-vacuity | now also requires a non-zero *interface* comparison |
| gate's own suite | **5 → 8** |
| dependency-graph suite | 179 green; `tsc` clean |
| other five gates · census | green |

## Running total for this check

Three real drifts, none of which any other instrument reported:

1. `isTaskStuck` stuck at three parameters through the whole lane
conversion (#3003)
2. `taskStuckTimeoutMs?: number` vs the required `number | undefined` —
in **two independent authors'** declarations
3. `workflowStepNameLookup` outliving its removal from `TaskCard`

e9b24b69e8 fix(dashboard): the duplicate banner judged the canonical by legacy lane ids (#3032)
Found by applying the check I proposed on #3028: **re-test each
`ALLOWED_OMISSIONS` entry — does the omission still fail once the excuse
is removed?** It found a stale excuse on its first run.

## The entry's blocker was never tested

```
"…TaskDetailModal.tsx::isNearDuplicateCanonicalInactive"
  reason: "…Correct supply needs a fetch — a data change. See the note at the site."
```

The reasoning gets the hard part right: passing `detailColumnFlags`
would answer about the **modal's** task, not the canonical, and would
type-check while reading as a conversion. Rejecting that is correct.

Then it concludes the seam needs a fetch — without checking what is in
scope.

- `columnFlagsByTaskId` is **already a prop of this component**
(declared `:367`, destructured `:727`, used for the fan-out map at
`:3718`), keyed by task id.
- The canonical is `tasks.find((c) => c.id === nearDuplicateOf)` — drawn
from the same loaded set the map covers. If the banner can render at
all, the canonical is in `tasks`.

So `columnFlagsByTaskId?.get(canonical.id)` is the canonical's own
flags, no fetch. **`Column.tsx:307` already does exactly this**, with a
comment making the same point about not reusing the row's flags — a
sibling call site of the same function, solved.

## What was broken

The banner's "this duplicates X" warning stayed up when the canonical
had landed in a **renamed** complete lane, because
`isNearDuplicateCanonicalInactive` fell back to the legacy ids and never
saw it as finished. Same user-visible symptom #2997 fixed for the card
chip; this is the modal.

## Verification

| state | result |
|---|---|
| clean | seams gate exit 0; 123/123 across `TaskDetailModal.rendering`
+ `Column.neardup-flags-arrival` |
| revert the supply | **gate exit 1** —
`isNearDuplicateCanonicalInactive() — supplied by 10/11 call sites;
omitted at TaskDetailModal.tsx:1 (of 2)` |

That mutation is the point: with the allow-list entry present, this
exact omission passed silently. It is now defended by the gate rather
than excused by it.

`tsc -p tsconfig.app.json` 0 errors in the file, lint clean, FNXC gate
exit 0.

## The general point

This is the second allow-list entry in two PRs whose stated blocker was
wrong — #3028 removed the other one (*"needs a published-API change"*;
the SDK is `private: true` and every consumer was in-repo).

An `ALLOWED_OMISSIONS` entry is a deferral **carrying a gate's
authority**. It reads as settled, it lives inside the checker, and it
turns "nobody tested this" into "someone tested it and concluded no". A
stale baseline *number* invites a recount; a stale *paragraph* invites
agreement. Both entries this gate carried were stale, and the note at
this call site had even been revised once — the revision corrected which
flags were wrong to pass, and left the untested "needs a fetch"
conclusion standing.

Worth a periodic sweep of the remaining entries as they accumulate; with
these two gone the list is empty, so the cheapest time to
institutionalise it is now.

a460a9bbc0 fix(plugins,dashboard): the dependency graph drew every card with the LEGACY lane vocabulary (#3029)
## The third producer of unflagged cards — the one a host-side fix could
not reach

#3025 fixed the two producers that go through `renderTaskCard`.
`GraphTaskNode` is a third: it imports `TaskCard` **directly** through
the plugin's interop shim, so that fix bypassed it and every role helper
inside a graph card kept reading the legacy ids.

The same component also called the stuck predicate without its flags:

```ts
const isStuck = isTaskStuck(task, taskStuckTimeoutMs, lastFetchTimeMs);   // no columnFlags
```

so `isWipColumnRole` fell back to the literal and **no card in the graph
could ever be stuck on a renamed board**. Because `isStuck` gates
`isActive`, a wedged card rendered with the **active** styling — the
graph reported *"running"* about a task that had not moved in hours,
while the main board showed the same card as stuck.

That asymmetry between two views of one task is the defect, and it is
what the new test pins.

## One cause, so one fix

Both symptoms came from the same gap: `PluginDashboardViewContext`
exposed `tasks` and nothing about the board's vocabulary. It now carries
`columnFlagsByTaskId` — the same per-task map `renderTaskCard` already
uses, **two lines away in the same object literal**.

## I filed this twice as blocked on a public-API change. It was not.

```
packages/dashboard                        @fusion/dashboard                        private: true
packages/plugin-sdk                       @fusion/plugin-sdk                       private: true
plugins/fusion-plugin-dependency-graph    @fusion-plugin-examples/dependency-graph private: true
```

No published surface anywhere in the path — three in-repo private
packages and a hand-written `.d.ts`. **#3026 landed the general form of
that mistake while I was still making it**: a deferral's stated blocker
is a claim, and mine decayed unchecked until I finally measured it.

## Two type decisions worth reviewing

- **`Partial<TraitFlags>`** in the plugin-facing type, not the
dashboard's `ExecutorColumnFlags` — that module's own header restricts
it to `@fusion/core` and `react` imports so external plugin builds can
consume it. Same runtime object either way.
- **`MainContentProps.columnFlagsByTaskId` widened** from `{complete,
archived, intake, hold}` to the flags the map really carries. It is
built from `workflow.columns.find(...).flags`, so the four-flag
declaration was a narrower view than the value — and `countsTowardWip`,
which every wip predicate needs, was invisible through it. That narrow
type is why threading this looked impossible at first.

Absent still means legacy, matching how the host treats remote rows and
off-board columns: the degraded answer is the documented literal, never
*"this board has no wip lane"*.

## Revert proof

Dropping the 4th argument:

```
AssertionError: expected 'graph-task-node graph-task-node--acti…' not to contain 'graph-task-node--active'
      Tests  1 failed | 26 passed (27)
```

The paired case (a fresh legacy `in-progress` card still reads active)
passes both ways by design — it guards against over-detection, so I am
not counting it as coverage.

The gate agrees independently:
`plugins/fusion-plugin-dependency-graph/src/GraphTaskNode.tsx: 1 -> 0`,
baseline re-recorded 16 → 15 in the same commit.

## Verification (measured)

- plugin suite — **185 passed / 20 files**
- dashboard `dashboard/` + `plugins/` suites — **48 passed / 6 files**
- `tsc --noEmit` clean in both packages; `pnpm lint` clean
- `lifecycle-column-census --strict`, `check-lane-wiring` (15, none
added), `check-sql-column-literals`, `check-inert-flag-seams`,
`check-fnxc-future-dates` — green

No changeset: all three packages are `private: true`.

5897d87e95 fix(gate): the lane census judged a call against a signature it never had (the false positive #3013's merge introduced) (#3021)
#3013's merge of same-named declarations fixed a false **negative** and
introduced a false **positive**.

`ModelSelectorTab` declares its own two-parameter
`resolveEffectiveExecutor(task, settings)` — a pass-through with nothing
lane-related — while an unrelated exported function of the same name in
`effective-model-resolution.ts` takes `columnFlags`. Both local calls
were reported unwired against a signature they have never had.

Only **exported** declarations enter the accepting map, so the rule is
exact: if the calling file declares the name itself and the map entry
came from a different file, the call resolves to the local declaration
and is not a lane call here.

## The version I did not ship

My first attempt re-ran the detector over the single calling file and
used that result. It scored *better* on this tree — **19 → 16** instead
of 19 → 17, also clearing `bucket-mapping.ts` — and I threw it away.

A single-file pass cannot resolve an **imported** options interface. A
locally-declared function with an imported context type would quietly
stop being lane-accepting, and every call to it would stop being
checked. That is a false negative, which is the one failure a ratchet
must not have; the better-looking number came from the gate seeing less.
The global pass still does all type resolution here — only the *choice*
of declaration is local.

## Measured

| | |
|---|---|
| new tests | 3 |
| against the old census | **1 of 3 fails** — the positive |
| baseline | **19 → 17**, exactly the two `ModelSelectorTab` sites |

Both negatives pass either way and they are the ones that matter: a file
declaring its **own** exported lane function is not shadowed by itself,
and a file declaring nothing is judged normally. Shadowing must not
become a way to disappear a genuine unwired call.

## Still flagged, honestly

`bucket-mapping.ts:75` stays in the baseline. `bucketForTask(task:
TaskItem)` is only lane-accepting because `TaskItem` *declares*
`columnFlags` — the lane data rides on the domain object, so passing
`task` forwards it inherently. That is a different limitation
(options-bag vs domain-entity parameters) and I have not tried to fix it
here; it accounts for 2 of the remaining 17 along with
`otherBucketSecondaryLabel`.

## Verification

`node --test scripts/__tests__/check-lane-wiring.test.mjs` **19 passed**
· `pnpm test:gate` 13 + 161 + 487 + 71 · lint · lifecycle census
`--strict` · lane-wiring · fnxc-dates (TZ=UTC) · changesets — green.

6f936f2de7 fix(cli): the node-override guard never fired on a renamed board, so mid-flight changes were allowed (#3019)
## The node-override guard never fired on a renamed board

`fn_task_update` called the guard with no options:

```ts
const validation = validateNodeOverrideChange(task, normalizedNodeId ?? null);
```

so `wipColumns` fell back to its documented default of
`{"in-progress"}`. On a board whose WIP lane is named anything else,
`wipColumns.has(task.column)` is false, the mid-flight check passes, and
**an operator can change the node override on a running task** —
precisely what that guard exists to refuse, in its own words:

> "Is this task executing right now?" — keyed on the literal, a renamed
board let an operator change the node override MID-FLIGHT on a running
task, which is exactly what this guard exists to refuse.

That note is attached to the `wipColumns` option added for this purpose.
The CLI simply never passed it.

## Two assumptions in the guard's own docs that did not hold

```
Both callers supply them. An omitted set keeps the legacy id, which is what a caller
without cheap IR access (a CLI tool, a route with only a task row) still gets.
```

1. **"Both callers"** — this is a *third* one, and it was in
`check-lane-wiring`'s known-unwired baseline the whole time.
2. **"a CLI tool … without cheap IR access"** — this handler is async
and has already awaited `store.getTask`, so one more resolve costs
exactly what `resolveTaskLifecycleColumns` already costs elsewhere **in
this same file** (the linked-lineage label at ~1239). The assumption was
reasonable in general and wrong here.

Passed present-but-conditionally-valued rather than as a conditional
argument: an omitted set still keeps the documented legacy default, and
only that shape is visible to `lane-wiring-census`, which matches an
object-literal argument and cannot see a ternary.

## Coverage — stated rather than implied

**There is no new unit test.** The regression guard is the ratchet
itself, and it is a real revert-proof: with the wiring removed,

```
[check-lane-wiring] call sites not passing a resolved lane argument INCREASED:
  packages/cli/src/extension.ts: 1 unwired now, baseline allows 0
```

Verified by actually reverting it, not by assuming. Baseline re-recorded
19 → 18 in the same commit, so the allowance cannot be regrown into.

A behavioural test would need a custom workflow definition persisted
*and* selected inside the integration harness to get a card resting in a
renamed WIP lane. That is worth doing and I would take it as follow-up
harness work — but it is not part of this fix, and I would rather name
the gap than let "85 passed" imply coverage I did not write.

## Verification (measured)

- **85 passed** across `extension.test.ts`,
`extension-experiment-finalize.test.ts`,
`task-list-board-columns.test.ts`
- `tsc --noEmit`, `eslint` — clean
- `check-lane-wiring` (18, none added), `lifecycle-column-census
--strict`, `check-inert-flag-seams`, `check-fnxc-future-dates`,
`check:changesets` — green

Changeset included (`patch`): `packages/cli` is the published
`@runfusion/fusion` and this changes guard behaviour operators rely on.

9ad3a2a93a fix(gate): name the offending FNXC stamp and which rule it broke (#3009)
**`main` is currently red**, so every open PR shows a failing Lint job
that is not its own fault. #3004 is how I found it — its gates all pass
in isolation and fail against main.

## Cause: an hour that does not exist

```
FNXC:OperatorScriptLaneAssumptions 2026-07-30-26:10
                                              ^^ hour 26
```

Four of them, across three files, from #2994.

## The part worth fixing is the message, not the stamps

This gate counts **two** defects — a date after today, and an impossible
clock time — but the failure text only ever explained the first:

```
scripts/reconcile-task-state-consistency.mjs: 2 future-dated FNXC stamp(s), baseline allows 0

A stamp dated after today (2026-07-31) records the change as happening in the future...
```

Every stamp in that file is dated `2026-07-30` or earlier — all valid
past dates. So the message sends you to inspect stamps that are fine,
and the natural conclusion is *the gate is broken*, not *the stamp is*.
I spent several minutes reproducing the regex by hand and getting
`future count = 0` before instrumenting the real script and finding
`hits += impossibleClockTimes(source)`.

A gate that detects the right defect and describes a different one is
worse than a slightly less sensitive gate, because it spends the
reader's trust. Now:

```
  scripts/reconcile-task-state-consistency.mjs
    FNXC:OperatorScriptLaneAssumptions 2026-07-30-26:10  (impossible clock time)
```

**Mutation-verified**: restoring one `26:10` stamp reproduces the
failure, and the message names it.

## The stamps: `2026-07-31-02:10`, not `23:59`

Hour 26 on the 30th is the informal spelling of 02:10 the next day.
Clamping to `23:59` would keep the file's stamps in a plausible order
but silently move the event; this preserves what the author meant.
Reversible either way — say the word if you would rather they were
clamped.

## The 176-file baseline drop is unrelated

`475 -> 183 known`. The clock crossed midnight, so yesterday's stamps
are no longer future-dated, and the ratchet auto-lowers on drops by
design. It rides along because the gate must leave a baseline matching
reality — an allowance nothing occupies is somewhere a real regression
can hide. It is not part of the fix.

## Verification

- `check:fnxc-future-dates` — exit 0 (was **exit 1 on main**)
- `check:lifecycle-columns`, `check:sql-column-literals`,
`check:inert-flag-seams`, `check:lane-wiring` — all exit 0
- eslint clean

## Worth someone's attention beyond this PR

`#2994` landed four impossible timestamps. The gate caught them, but
only after the clock crossed midnight changed which files it reported —
meaning the impossible-time check was live but effectively invisible
until it collided with an unrelated drop. It is worth asking whether
that check has ever produced a message anyone acted on before today.

3a016b1f17 fix(scripts): four FNXC stamps carried hour 26, and main has been red on them (#3010)
## `main` is currently red on `check-fnxc-future-dates`

Four stamps read `2026-07-30-26:10` — an hour that cannot exist.

They're exactly what #2995 taught this gate to catch. That PR landed the
hour validation (`00-23`) *after* #2999 had already merged these four,
so the gate started reporting a defect that was already sitting there
rather than one introduced afterwards. **The guard is working**; nothing
was checking before it.

```
scripts/lib/backend-db.mjs:41
scripts/reconcile-task-state-consistency.mjs:8, :51
scripts/__tests__/reconcile-task-state-consistency.test.mjs:109
```

Corrected by **literal normalisation** — 26:10 on the 30th *is* 02:10 on
the 31st — rather than flattening them to an arbitrary in-range hour.
AGENTS.md specifies `yyyy-MM-dd-hh:mm`, and the stamp exists to give a
readable why-does-this-exist trail, so the ordering is the part worth
preserving.

## The baseline tightening rides along, and it's a date rollover

Stamps written yesterday as `2026-07-31` were future *then* and were
baselined as such. Today they're past, so **176 files ratchet to zero**.
Nobody did anything.

The gate rewrites the baseline as a side effect and exits 0, so leaving
it uncommitted dirties the tree on every subsequent run **for everyone**
— which is why it belongs in this commit rather than a later one.
Re-recording on a decrease is the rule this gate and its siblings
already state.

Worth knowing about the design, since I wrote it: this churn recurs
whenever a day boundary passes with future-dated stamps in the baseline,
and it shrinks only as people stop writing them — which is the behaviour
the gate exists to produce. **93 files still carry a non-zero
allowance**, so the drain isn't finished. If it stays noisy once those
clear, the gate's fail-on-tighten contract is the thing to revisit, not
the stamps.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| gate | red before, **exit 0 after**, stable across two consecutive
runs |
| baseline | −176/+25 entries, all date-rollover |
| inert-seam · sql-literal · lane-wiring · census | all green |
| reconciler's own suite | green |

## One correction to a claim I made earlier this session

While investigating I reported the gate as hanging for 600s. It wasn't —
the harness killed the process (exit 144) and the empty output made it
look like a stall. The gate completes in seconds. Noting it because I
nearly filed a performance bug against a healthy script.

ffe9898710 fix(gate): the lane-wiring census could not see three of the shapes it asks for (incl. a false positive it started reporting) (#3013)
**The gate could not see three of the shapes it exists to check** —
including the wiring I landed this week in #2990 and #3004. Found by
using it: the baseline still listed `useBlockerFanout.ts`,
`ExecutorStatusBar.tsx`, and `TaskDetailModal.tsx` as unwired *after*
those PRs merged.

### 1. Conditional shapes

Passing lanes only when they resolved is the **correct** way to write
these — an empty trait index means "not loaded yet", not "nothing is
terminal", so the caller must fall through to the documented legacy
default rather than fabricate one. Both idioms that produces were
invisible:

```ts
computeBlockerFanoutMap(tasks, flags ? { columnFlagsByTaskId: flags } : {})   // ConditionalExpression
computeBlockerFanoutMapCore(tasks, N, { ...(flags ? { classify } : {}) })     // SpreadAssignment, name === undefined
```

Either branch supplying the lane now counts. **Neither branch supplying
it is still unwired** — that negative is tested.

### 2. Vocabulary

`columnFlagsByTaskId`, the per-task trait index the dashboard threads,
was never added. It answers every lane question at once, so a call site
dropping it reverts to the legacy vocabulary wholesale — and the gate
would have stayed silent.

### 3. Name collisions — the false positive

Declarations were `set` by name, so the **last one parsed won**. Core's
`computeBlockerFanoutMap(tasks, n, opts)` and the dashboard wrapper
`computeBlockerFanoutMap(tasks, opts)` put their lane options at
**different argument indices**, so core's callers were checked against
the wrapper's signature: `task-priority.ts:141` passes `terminalColumns`
at index 2 and was reported unwired.

I caught this because adding the vocabulary entry in (2) made it appear.
A ratchet that reports a correctly-wired site is worse than one that
misses it — the first person to open one learns the number is noise.
Both shapes are now merged; a call satisfying either counts.

### Measured

| | |
|---|---|
| new tests | **6** — every positive paired with its negative |
| against the old census | **3 of 6 fail** — exactly the three
positives; the negatives pass either way, which is why they exist |
| baseline | **23 → 19** — four sites recognized as *already* wired; no
site newly excused |
| new flags | none |

### Verification

`node --test scripts/__tests__/check-lane-wiring.test.mjs` **16 passed**
· `pnpm test:gate` 161 + 13 + 487 + 71 · lint · lifecycle census
`--strict` · fnxc-dates (TZ=UTC) · changesets — green.

Seven other `scripts/__tests__` files fail on main independently of this
change (`verify-fast`, `dependency-security-floor`,
`engine-vitest-gate-policy`, `plugin-authoring-docs`,
`release-prompt-gate`, `ci-test-shard-timings`,
`workflow-reliability-release-check`). None are in the merge gate and
none are touched here — noting them because I looked, not because this
PR affects them.

f10261f424 fix(scripts): the contamination audit scanned four legacy lanes and claimed it had (#3005)
## An audit that scanned four legacy lanes — and claimed it had

Two halves of the same wrong answer.

**The query allowlisted the lanes:**

```sql
WHERE deleted_at IS NULL AND "column" IN ('triage','todo','in-progress','in-review')
```

On a board whose lanes are named anything else that matches **nothing**,
so the audit scans zero rows and reports zero contamination — a clean
bill of health from a scan that never happened. `triage` is in that list
too, a lane U11 (#2515) deleted.

**And the report asserted the coverage it did not have:**

```js
scannedColumns: ["triage", "todo", "in-progress", "in-review"],
```

printed regardless of what the query returned. When I first surveyed
this script I called that field "the one thing keeping it from being
fully silent" — it turns out it was a **claim, not an observation**, so
it was not keeping it honest at all. It is now derived from the rows
that came back.

## Fix: exclude finished lanes instead of allowlisting active ones

Inverted so the default is the safe one — an unrecognised lane is active
work by assumption and **is** audited; only lanes that genuinely mean
finished drop out. An allowlist fails **closed** (skip everything
unknown), a denylist fails **open** (look at it), and for an audit one
extra finished branch is a far smaller error than auditing nothing.

Filtered in JS rather than by building a dynamic SQL exclusion: it keeps
**one** place deciding what "finished" means, and removes the last
raw-SQL lane literal from this file.

## Revert proof

```
✖ scannedColumns reports the board's real lanes, not a fixed legacy claim
✖ reports each scanned lane once, and nothing at all for an empty board
ℹ pass 1   ℹ fail 2
```

## A demonstration of #3000, for free

This PR removes a 4-literal raw-SQL clause, and
`check-sql-column-literals` here reports **22, unchanged and green** —
because this branch predates #3000 and the gate still walks `packages/`
only. That is precisely the blind spot #3000 closes, reproduced a second
time.

## Merge order

This removes the 4 literals #3000 baselines. Landing this **after**
#3000 drops that count and its gate fails on DECREASE — that gate
auto-rewrites the baseline and asks for the commit, unlike
`check-lane-wiring` which needs an explicit `--update-baseline`. Either
order works; one of them needs a re-record, and I am happy to push it.

## Verification (measured)

- `node --test` — **3 passed / 0 failed** (1 pre-existing + 2 new)
- `node --check`, `eslint` — clean
- `lifecycle-column-census --strict`, `check-lane-wiring`,
`check-fnxc-future-dates` — green

No changeset: root `scripts/` is repo tooling, not part of the published
package.

## Territory status

This was the last item I know of in `scripts/`. The four operator
scripts holding lane assumptions — `recover-stale-blocked-by` (#2992),
`reconcile-task-state-consistency` (#2994),
`reconcile-leaked-soft-deletes` (#2999) and this one — are now either
resolved or, where a script genuinely cannot resolve lanes, made loud
rather than silent.

52a66297fc fix(gate): main is red — normalize #2994's four impossible-hour stamps (#3006)
**`main` is currently red on the FNXC gate.**

```
$ node scripts/check-fnxc-future-dates.mjs   # on origin/main
  scripts/reconcile-task-state-consistency.mjs: 2 future-dated FNXC stamp(s), baseline allows 0
  scripts/lib/backend-db.mjs: 1
  scripts/__tests__/reconcile-task-state-consistency.test.mjs: 1
exit 1
```

#2994 carried four `2026-07-30-26:10` stamps. I flagged them on that PR
before it merged; #2995 (the hour check) landed first, so the merge
order turned the warning into a red gate rather than a red PR.

Clamped to `23:10` — same rule as the nine before it: hour to `23`,
minutes preserved, so ordering within each file survives. This is a
normalization with a stated rule, not a claim about the true minute.

**Verified:** FNXC gate exit 0, `reconcile-task-state-consistency` 8
pass / 0 fail. Comment-text only.

### Worth fixing at the source

Thirteen impossible-hour stamps across six PRs in two days, and the
hours climb — `24:40` → `25:30` → `26:10`. They are being written as a
continuing sequence past midnight rather than read off a clock, which is
a reasonable instinct and produces an invalid stamp every time.

The trap is that the honest spelling does not work either: a genuine
post-midnight stamp needs *tomorrow's* date, and the gate compares
against the **local** calendar — so `2026-07-31-00:40` written from
UTC-7 is future-dated and fails for a different reason. Clamping to
`23:xx` is currently the only spelling that satisfies both, which is not
obvious and is why this keeps recurring.

If it recurs again, the fix is probably in the error message rather than
more normalization PRs: the gate could name the valid range and the
timezone it compares against, so the next author sees the constraint at
the moment they hit it.

cd237ae760 gate: the SQL column-literal ratchet never scanned scripts/, where the raw SQL actually is (#3000)
## The gate could not see the one place raw SQL is actually written by
hand

`check-sql-column-literals` walked `packages/` only and took `.tsx?`.
Every operator script is a repo-root `.mjs`.

I found it by removing a raw-SQL lane literal in #2999 and watching this
gate report:

```
[check-sql-column-literals] 22 known SQL column literal(s), none added.
```

Unchanged, and green. Its own header promises the opposite — *"a LOWER
count fails too so the baseline is ratcheted down"* — so the silence was
the tell.

**Two changes, and either alone still sees nothing:** the root and the
extension. Adding one without the other scans nothing new and reports a
reassuring zero — the same trap #2978 hit when widening the lane-wiring
census.

## Newly visible: 6 sites, audited not blind-baselined

| site | verdict |
| --- | --- |
| `audit-branch-cross-contamination.mjs:182` — `"column" IN
('triage','todo','in-progress','in-review')` | **real** — the
contamination audit scans only the legacy active lanes, so on a renamed
board it scans nothing and reports no contamination. Read-only, and it
does print its `scannedColumns`, which is the one thing keeping that
from being fully silent. |
| `reconcile-leaked-soft-deletes.mjs:53, :73` | already fixed by
**#2999** — the PR that exposed this gap |

## Proven able to fail, not just to count

A guard that has only ever printed a number is a number. A temporary
`.mjs` holding one forbidden comparison:

```
scripts/zz-probe-tmp.mjs: 1 SQL column literal(s), baseline allows 0
```

and the gate returned to green once removed.

## One claim I withdrew

I initially wrote that the `ScriptKind` move to `JS` for `.mjs` was
needed because *"TSX treats `<` as JSX and would misparse an ordinary
comparison"*. I could not demonstrate it. I tried three JSX-ambiguous
shapes — `x <div> y`, `f<b, c>(d)`, and a literal sandwiched between `<`
and `>` comparisons — and TSX recovered from all three with counts
identical to JS.

So `JS` is used because it is the correct kind for the file, **not**
because a miss was observed, and the code now says exactly that. The
opposite claim would have been easy to make and wrong, and this gate's
whole value is that its statements about its own coverage are true.

## Merge order

**#2999 removes both literals in `reconcile-leaked-soft-deletes.mjs`.**
Landing it *after* this PR drops the count, and this gate fails on
DECREASE (by design), needing a re-record. Merge #2999 first, or say the
word and I will re-record here.

Note the widening is self-protecting afterwards: if someone narrows the
walk back to `packages/`, the recorded `scripts/` entries vanish from
the scan and the gate goes red on decrease.

## Verification (measured)

- gate — green, **28 known / none added** (was 22 across `packages/`
only)
- its own suite — **32 passed**
- `eslint` — clean
- `lifecycle-column-census --strict`, `check-lane-wiring`,
`check-fnxc-future-dates` — green

1de0141ab8 fix(dashboard): Task Detail's blocking count read the LEGACY lanes (last of the three fan-out surfaces) (#3004)
Third and last of the three surfaces calling the blocker fan-out
wrapper, completing the sweep started in #2990 (Board + Executor bar).

## What was wrong, precisely

The dependent **list** is lane-independent — core pushes `dependentIds`
without consulting lanes — so this section looked broadly right. Two
things beside it are not:

- `overlapBlockedTodoCount`, rendered as **"FN-X is blocking N todo
task(s) via blockedBy overlap"** — counted against the literal `todo`,
so on a renamed board it read **0 while cards were genuinely blocked**.
- the `stale` marker on each blocking dependent — decided against
`terminal`/`review` lanes the operator does not use.

A wrong number sitting beside a right list is the easiest kind to miss,
which is why I checked what the modal actually consumes before deciding
this was worth a PR rather than assuming the whole section was broken.

## Why a prop and not a hook

This was the surface I deferred in #2990 because it had no trait index
in scope. Two options:

- `useBoardWorkflows` inside the modal — rejected. The hook documents
that it does **not** dedupe across consumers: each call installs its own
visibilitychange/focus listeners and its own SSE subscription. That is a
new fetch and subscription per modal open, to answer a question the app
has already answered.
- **Thread the index that already exists** — `App` builds
`footerColumnFlagsByTaskId` for the footer; this forwards it through
`AppModals` as an optional prop. Chosen.

Optional throughout: a card with no entry keeps the documented legacy
fallback, so the remote-node case (where local workflow metadata must
never be applied to foreign ids) and the pre-load window stay
byte-identical.

## Reverted

The new case fails on the rendered text — the modal cannot find `"FN-B
is blocking 2 todo task(s) via blockedBy overlap"`. The pre-existing
legacy-column case above it passes either way, because `todo` satisfies
the literal default; that is exactly why it never caught this.

## Verification

TaskDetailModal.rendering + ExecutorStatusBar + useBlockerFanout **206
passed** · dashboard app suite 11986 passed / 5 skipped (581 files) ·
`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 13 + 487 + 71 · lint · census `--strict` ·
lane-wiring · fnxc-dates · changesets — green.

## One note for whoever owns the FNXC gate

`check-fnxc-future-dates.mjs` **rewrites its baseline as a side effect
and still exits 0**. Today's date roll dropped 183 stamps out of
"future", so any run dirties
`scripts/lib/fnxc-future-dates-baseline.json` in the working tree. It
cost me a stash conflict before I noticed. Not bundled here — it is
repo-wide midnight drift, not this change — but a check that mutates
tracked state on a read is worth a look.

d861923355 fix(gate): the inert-seam ratchet never scanned plugins/, where real lane logic lives (#3002)
#3000 showed this gate never scanned `scripts/`. I went auditing my own
instrument after that, and the roots have a **second** hole: the walk
was rooted at `packages/` alone, so every lane parameter a plugin
declares or calls sat outside the ratchet entirely.

## Measured with a control

| probe | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| unwired seam under `packages/` | caught | caught |
| **identical** seam under `plugins/` | **missed** | caught |
| clean tree | exit 0 | exit 0 |

## The sibling gate already knew

`check-lane-wiring` lists `plugins` in its roots, and its header records
the incident that put it there: an unwired `completeColumnsByTaskId` sat
on `main` unreported because the glasses plugin wasn't scanned.

This gate re-opened the same hole rather than inheriting the lesson. Two
scope holes in one instrument is the actual finding — **the roots
deserve the same scrutiny as the matcher, and until now they had none.**
Every blind spot found in this gate so far has been in the matcher;
nobody, me included, thought to probe what it walks.

## Newly visible — audited, not blind-baselined

`plugins/fusion-plugin-dependency-graph/src/GraphTaskNode.tsx` calls
`isTaskStuck()` without the resolved flags, while **six of the seven**
other call sites supply them. That's exactly the partial-supply shape
this gate exists to catch, hidden purely by scope.

It's exempted rather than wired, and the reason is the interesting part.
The plugin has **no lane-trait source anywhere**: it's mounted as a
dashboard view through `PluginDashboardViewContext`, and
`DependencyGraph` receives `tasks: Task[]` and nothing else. Passing the
argument here would pass `undefined` — an unsupplied optional parameter,
which the learnings doc's first failure shape calls strictly worse than
the literal it replaces, because it reads as converted and answers
legacy forever.

Correct supply needs the plugin **view context** to carry per-task
flags: a published-API change. That's the same "needs a data change"
category as the existing `TaskDetailModal` entry, not the "awkward means
wire it" case the exemption rule refuses. I checked that distinction
against my own rule before taking the exemption, because the rule exists
to stop exactly this kind of convenient reading.

Filed for the plugin-API owner rather than bodged here.

## Measured

- seam population **22 → 23** with plugins in scope
- gate's own suite: **18/18 green**
- lint and the FNXC gate green

72f5f8e51a fix(gate): the FNXC stamp gate never validated the hour, so 25:30 passed (#2995)
`check-fnxc-future-dates.mjs` validates the **date** portion of a stamp
and never looks at the clock time:

```js
const STAMP = /FNXC:[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\s+(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})/g;
…
for (const match of source.matchAll(STAMP)) if (match[1] > today) hits += 1;
```

The capture stops before the hour, so a stamp may carry **any** `hh:mm`
and pass. Found while pre-flighting #2992, whose new comments read
`2026-07-30-25:30`.

## It is not one typo

Four stamps **already on `main`** carry a clock time that cannot exist:

```
packages/cli/src/__tests__/task-list-board-columns.test.ts:2     -24:40
packages/cli/src/commands/task.ts:29                             -24:40
packages/cli/src/commands/task.ts:636                            -24:40
scripts/check-lane-wiring.mjs:18                                 -24:00
```

Three separate authors, so this is the gate's blind spot rather than one
person's slip — and #2992 adds two more, which is how I noticed.

AGENTS.md specifies `yyyy-MM-dd-hh:mm`. The stamp's whole purpose is to
make the FNXC record a readable chronology of *why* code exists; a
timestamp that cannot exist quietly costs it that, and nothing was going
to catch it.

## The fix

Hours `00-23`, minutes `00-59`, counted per file **alongside** the
future-dated population rather than as a separate gate — same defect
class (a stamp that does not describe a real moment), and one ratchet is
cheaper to keep honest than two.

**Mutations, both directions:**

| stamp | result |
|---|---|
| `2026-07-30-25:00` | **flagged** |
| `2026-07-30-23:75` | **flagged** |
| clean tree | `475 known future-dated stamp(s), none added`, exit 0 |

## On the four existing stamps

Normalized by clamping the impossible hour to `23`, minutes preserved,
so relative ordering within each file survives. **That is a
normalization with a stated rule, not a claim about the true minute** —
`-24:40` most plausibly meant "just past midnight", but writing
`2026-07-31-00:40` would be future-dated against today's local calendar
and fail the very gate this PR extends. Clamping keeps every stamp real,
ordered, and non-future; the exact minute was already unrecoverable.

**Verified:** FNXC gate exit 0, lane-wiring gate exit 0,
`task-list-board-columns` 5/5, lint clean.

Comment-only changes to the CLI files (stamp text inside FNXC blocks),
so no behaviour change and no changeset.

Noted separately on #2992 so its two new stamps get corrected there
rather than landing and immediately failing this gate.

5adf0d955a fix(scripts): the soft-delete reconciler wrote a literal archived into boards that do not have one (#2999)
## A repair script that wrote a column the board does not have

Under `--apply`, against an operator's live database:

```js
await tx.execute(sql`UPDATE project."tasks" SET "column" = 'archived' WHERE id = ${row.id}`);
```

On a board that does not declare `archived`, that is not a mislabel — it
parks the row in a column the workflow does not have, **manufacturing
exactly the undeclared-column state this migration keeps repairing
elsewhere**.

The selection was wrong in the same direction, which made the write far
worse. "Leaked" meant `column !== "archived"`, so on a renamed board
**every** soft-deleted row looked leaked — including the ones resting
correctly in that board's own archived lane. The repair then rewrote
them. The tool's fix *was* the damage.

## Three changes, because fixing one would have left the others deciding

**The SQL pre-filter carried the same literal** (`AND "column" !=
'archived'`), so the query and the planner each imposed the legacy
vocabulary independently. Dropped it — soft-deleted rows are a small
set, so selecting them all and filtering in the pure planner costs
nothing and leaves **one** place that decides what "archived" means.

**The filter takes the set**; a row resting in *any* of the board's
archived lanes is not leaked.

**The write resolves per task**, because the destination must be that
card's own lane, not a board-wide pick. A row whose archived lane cannot
be resolved is **skipped and reported**, never written with a guessed
id. A recovery script that declines to act on rows it does not
understand is recoverable; one that writes a plausible wrong value is
not.

Verified rather than assumed — a store that answers nothing resolves to
the default lifecycle:

```
lifecycle from unanswering store: {"intake":"todo",…,"archived":"archived"}
```

so a legacy board repairs exactly as before.

## Correcting myself

On #2994 I wrote that this follow-up "needs the same `importCore` seam".
It doesn't: `openBackend` already returns `{ core, store, … }` and this
script already destructures `core`. No new plumbing was required. I
posted that correction on #2994 too, since acting on it would have
wasted someone's time.

## Revert proof

```
✖ a soft-deleted row already in the board's RENAMED archived lane is not leaked
✖ a board with several archived lanes treats all of them as resting places
ℹ pass 5   ℹ fail 2
```

The other two new cases pass both ways by design — they guard the legacy
meaning and the still-catches-a-real-leak direction — so I am not
counting them as coverage of the defect.

## Verification (measured)

- `node --test` across all three script suites — **17 passed / 0
failed**
- `node --check`, `eslint` — clean
- `check-sql-column-literals`, `lifecycle-column-census --strict`,
`check-lane-wiring`, `check-fnxc-future-dates` — green

No changeset: root `scripts/` is repo tooling, not part of the published
package.

## Gate blind spot found while verifying this, NOT fixed here

I removed a raw-SQL lane literal and expected
`check-sql-column-literals` to drop from 22 — its own header says *"a
LOWER count fails too so the baseline is ratcheted down"*. It stayed at
**22 and green**, because it walks `PACKAGES` only and **never scans
`scripts/`**.

That is the same shape as the lane-wiring gap #2978 closed (it scanned
neither `plugins` nor `dashboard/app`).
`scripts/audit-branch-cross-contamination.mjs:185` still holds `WHERE …
"column" IN ('triage','todo','in-progress','in-review')`, invisible to
the gate. Left as a separate follow-up rather than bundled into a
product fix.

ac67b8d585 fix(scripts): the FN-4000 consistency reconciler failed in BOTH directions on a renamed board (#2994)
## The FN-4000 consistency reconciler failed in *both* directions

`findTaskStateInconsistencies` keyed both checks on legacy lane
literals, and they break in opposite ways:

```js
const hasDoneTransient = task.column === "done" && (status failed || error || worktree || blockedBy || …);
if (task.status === "failed" && task.column !== "in-review") { … }
```

| check | on a renamed board | effect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `hasDoneTransient` | **never fires** | a finished card still holding
`status:"failed"`, a worktree, a blockedBy or live recovery counters is
never reported and never normalized — precisely the stale state FN-4000
exists to clear |
| `failed-status-outside-in-review` | **fires for every failed card** |
no column equals the literal, so the report lists the whole board |

The second is the more dangerous of the two: a tool that reports nothing
looks broken, but a tool that reports everything looks like it is
working.

## Wiring, and why the resolver is injected rather than built inline

Lanes are resolved **per task** (a board can span workflows) and passed
in. Resolving inside the loop would drag `importCore()` — and therefore
a built `packages/core/dist` — into every unit test of a pure
reconciliation loop.

`main` wires the real resolver whenever it opened a real backend, so
this is **not** the inert optional-parameter shape this migration keeps
finding. A caller injecting its own store (tests) has no staged dist and
falls back to the documented legacy literals, which is exactly today's
behaviour.

`importCore` is now exported from `scripts/lib/backend-db.mjs` so
operator scripts reach core helpers through the **same staged-dist seam
`openBackend` already uses**, rather than each growing its own dist path
— `@fusion/core` is not resolvable from repo-root `scripts/`, which is
what made the obvious import fail.

The normalization move now targets the card's **own** column: naming
`"done"` was only ever a way of spelling *"where it already is"*, since
the move exists to trigger the store's done-normalization.

## One of my test expectations was wrong before the code was

My first version asserted that a card in a renamed complete lane with
`status:"failed"` yields only the transient-state finding. It yields
**both** — and that is correct, because a failed card outside the review
lane genuinely is flagged. I isolated the case (dropping
`status:"failed"`, keeping the worktree) so it pins one behaviour
instead of blurring two, rather than "fixing" the expectation to match
whatever came out.

## Revert proof

Restoring the four literals:

```
✖ reports stale transient state in a RENAMED complete lane
✖ does NOT flag a failed card that is sitting in the board's own review lane
✖ runReconciliation normalizes a renamed complete lane by moving the card to its OWN column
ℹ pass 5   ℹ fail 3
```

The remaining two new cases pass both ways by design — "still flags a
failed card outside the resolved review lane" and "unresolved lanes keep
exactly the legacy behaviour" guard against over-correction, so I am not
counting them as coverage of the defect.

## Verification (measured)

- `node --test` — **8 passed / 0 failed** (3 pre-existing + 5 new)
- sibling script suites (`recover-stale-blocked-by`,
`reconcile-leaked-soft-deletes`) — **7 passed**, unaffected by the
shared-lib export
- `node --check`, `eslint` — clean
- `lifecycle-column-census --strict`, `check-sql-column-literals`,
`check-lane-wiring`, `check-fnxc-future-dates` — green

No changeset: root `scripts/` is repo tooling, not part of the published

## Still not addressed in this territory

`reconcile-leaked-soft-deletes.mjs` carries a raw `UPDATE
project."tasks" SET "column" = 'archived'` — on a renamed board that
writes a column the workflow does not declare, creating the
undeclared-column state this migration keeps repairing elsewhere. It
holds a raw backend rather than a store, so it needs the same
`importCore` seam this PR exports; left for a follow-up rather than
bundled here.

65f4e8533e fix(dashboard): blocker fan-out classified every board against the LEGACY lanes (finished cards shown as blockers; escalation never fired) (#2990)
The dashboard's `computeBlockerFanoutMap` wrapper called core with **no
lane answers at all**:

```ts
return computeBlockerFanoutMapCore(tasks, MAX_AUTO_MERGE_RETRIES, {
  staleHighFanoutAgeThresholdMs: options.staleHighFanoutAgeThresholdMs,
});   // no terminalColumns, no reviewColumns, no holdColumn, no classify
```

So every fan-out surface classified against `todo` / `in-review` /
`done` regardless of what the operator named their columns. Core defines
**active by exclusion — not terminal** — so on a renamed board a
**finished** card never became terminal and stayed an active blocker
forever. The Executor bar's highest-overlap blocker and the task modal's
blocking-dependents list both kept naming work that had already landed.

**Escalation was worse.** `shouldEscalate` requires the blocker to sit
in an escalation lane (wip ∪ review), which unresolved means
`in-progress`/`in-review` only — so a stale blocker holding up many
cards **never escalated**. The fan-out numbers themselves stayed
correct, which is what makes it easy to miss: the metric says there is a
problem and the mechanism that acts on it is switched off.

## Shape

**Per task, not a board-wide union** — the reason `blocker-fanout.ts`
documents on `classify`: an id means something only relative to its own
workflow, and this board renders several at once. `Board` builds the
index exactly as `App.tsx` already does for the footer
(`footerColumnFlagsByTaskId`): task → its own workflow → that workflow's
entry for the column the card rests in.

**Escalation = wip ∪ review**, mirroring `scheduler.ts`'s own
construction. The two must agree — the scheduler decides a blocker
escalates and the dashboard is where an operator sees it.

**An empty trait map means "not resolved yet", not "nothing is
terminal."** The pre-load window and the remote-node case keep the
documented legacy default rather than fabricated lifecycle state.

## Reverted

| case | reverted |
|---|---|
| a finished card in a renamed completion lane is not an active blocker
| **fails** |
| a stale high-fan-out blocker in a renamed wip lane escalates |
**fails** |
| unresolved traits stay byte-identical | passes either way — that is
why it is there |

## Two notes

- The hook call had to move below `useBoardWorkflows` in `Board` (it was
at line 206, the workflows at ~390). `blockerFanoutMap` is consumed only
in JSX, so the hook order change is unconditional and stable.
- The unresolved-card fallbacks are hoisted into three named helpers
with `DELIBERATE-LITERAL` markers on the **declarations** — the census
reads markers from leading comments, so an inline one attaches to the
wrong node and is silently ignored. Census baseline re-recorded in the
same commit (debt did not increase; markers moved 5 sites out of the
guard count).

## Not done

`ExecutorStatusBar` and `TaskDetailModal` call the wrapper directly and
still pass no traits. `ExecutorStatusBar` already receives
`columnFlagsByTaskId` so it is a one-liner; `TaskDetailModal` has no
trait index in scope and needs one threaded. Left out to keep this
reviewable — the ratchet keeps both visible.

## Verification

dashboard app suite **1919 passed (140 files)** · `pnpm test:gate` 161 +
13 + 487 + 71 · lint · census `--strict` · lane-wiring · fnxc-dates ·
changesets — green.

bb6c08d9d6 fix(scripts): the blocked-by recovery reported "Repairs: 0" on a board it never examined (#2992)
## A recovery tool that reports "Repairs: 0" without having examined
anything

Every lane test in `recover-stale-blocked-by.mjs` is a legacy id:

```js
function isTerminalColumn(column) { return column === "done" || column === "archived"; }
const isActive = row.column === "in-progress" || (row.column === "in-review" && row.worktree && !row.paused);
if (row.column !== "todo" || !row.blockedBy) continue;          // ← the candidate gate
```

On a board whose lanes are named anything else, that gate matches
**nothing**. The planner returns no findings and the script prints
`Repairs: 0`.

An operator running a recovery reads that as *"the board is fine"* when
the tool never examined a single card. **A silently empty answer from a
recovery tool is the worst shape available** — indistinguishable from
success, and consulted precisely during an incident.

This is not dead code: `docs/soft-delete-verification-matrix.md` cites
it as the GREEN backstop for FN-5528, and it has its own test file.

## Detection only — and why I did not "fix" the classification

Correct classification needs the board's resolved trait vocabulary. This
script holds a **raw backend** (`openBackend` → `asyncLayer` + `sql`),
not a `TaskStore`, so resolving lanes here would mean reimplementing IR
trait resolution inside a `.mjs` script — a worse bug than the one it
fixes, and precisely the kind of second, drifting copy this migration
keeps deleting.

So the assumptions are not repaired; they are made **loud**. That is the
same principle the lane-wiring gate applies to itself:

> a gate whose errors land on "nothing to report" is the one failure
mode a ratchet must not have

The unknown-lane list rides on the returned array as a
**non-enumerable** property rather than widening the return type —
`recoverBlockedBy` is consumed as `findings[]` by the entry point and by
tests, and an operator may be scripting around that shape.

## The first test pins the gap rather than papering over it

```js
assert.deepEqual(unrecognisedLanes(rows), ["backlog", "checking"]);
// The gap this warns about, pinned rather than claimed fixed: the planner still sees nothing.
assert.deepEqual(planRecoverBlockedBy({ rows, tasksDir }), []);
```

I would rather the next reader find that assertion than discover it
themselves during an incident.

## Revert proof

With `unrecognisedLanes` returning `[]` (the pre-fix behaviour):

```
✖ names lanes the planner does not understand, so an empty result cannot read as healthy
✔ stays quiet on a legacy board, so the warning means something when it appears
✖ reports each unknown lane once, ignoring rows with no column at all
ℹ pass 5   ℹ fail 2
```

The legacy-board case passes **both ways by design** — it guards against
the warning firing spuriously, so I am not counting it as coverage of
the defect.

## Verification (measured)

- `node --test` — **7 passed** (4 pre-existing + 3 new), 0 failed
- `node --check`, `eslint` — clean
- `check-sql-column-literals`, `lifecycle-column-census --strict`,
`check-lane-wiring`, `check-fnxc-future-dates` — green

No changeset: root `scripts/` is repo tooling, not part of the published
package.

## How this was found, since the method matters more than the fix

My batch is "cli + plugins + anything left", and I had been reading
*"anything left"* as nothing. Eight packages and all of `scripts/` sit
outside the four named batches. This is the first thing I found there;
sibling one-shot scripts (`reconcile-task-state-consistency.mjs`,
`reconcile-leaked-soft-deletes.mjs` — which contains a raw `UPDATE … SET
"column" = 'archived'`) carry the same hardcoded assumptions and are
**not** addressed here.

cfe47b3754 chore(plugins): delete the superseded fusion-plugin-even-cards (#2790) (#2988)
Closes #2790 by finishing a decision that was already made and written
down.

## The issue's premise was wrong, including as I filed it

I raised this as "a package accidentally missing from
`pnpm-workspace.yaml`." It wasn't. `CHANGELOG-archive.md:9596`:

> Consolidate Even Realities plugin support into
`fusion-plugin-even-realities-glasses` and **remove
`fusion-plugin-even-cards` from the active workspace package list to
avoid duplicate user-facing integrations.**

The removal was deliberate, for a stated reason. The directory is what
got left behind. That also rules out the option I had been weighting
first — adding it back would undo a shipped consolidation and re-create
the duplicate integration it was removed to prevent.

## Unreachable by every path

| check | result |
|---|---|
| `pnpm-workspace.yaml` globs | no — never installed or built |
| CLI bundle list (`packages/cli/tsup.config.ts`) | no — 0 mentions,
while seven other plugins are named |
| runtime `plugins/*` directory-scan discovery | none exists — plugins
are enumerated explicitly |
| `package.json` | `private: true` — never published |
| imports outside its own directory | none |
| kept as a docs/authoring example | no — zero references in `docs/` or
any root `*.md` |
| successor in the workspace | yes —
`fusion-plugin-even-realities-glasses` |

## It was also polluting two ratchets

Dead code in a scanned tree is worse than dead code: both censuses are
**source-text scanners**, so they counted debt in files no build or
typecheck covers. Nobody could retire those entries through a
normally-verified refactor, and they inflated how much of the remaining
debt looked actionable.

Both baselines regenerated, and I checked each diff rather than trusting
the totals:

| baseline | change |
|---|---|
| `lane-wiring` | 26 → 23 sites, 21 → 20 files — **one entry removed**,
`board-routes.ts: 3` |
| `lifecycle-column-census` | exactly its two `board-cards.ts` entries |

Neither regeneration tightened anything unrelated — worth confirming
explicitly, because `lifecycle-column-census.mjs --strict` **writes**
its baseline as a side effect and could have folded an unrelated drop
into this commit.

**Verified:** lane-wiring, SQL-literal and FNXC gates all exit 0 after
the deletion; lint clean. 15 files removed.

## Why I went ahead

I said twice I would not delete this unilaterally. What changed is that
the trade-off dissolved — once the consolidation decision turned out to
be documented and the "is it a teaching example?" question answered by a
docs grep, there was nothing left to decide, only to execute. The
deletion is git-reversible and the standing guidance is that reversible
calls are mine to make.

Fourth time today a thing I filed as "needs someone else's judgement"
turned out to have its answer already in the repository. Cheap habit
worth keeping: before deferring, grep for whether the judgement has
already been made.

684c324084 fix(gate): the lane-wiring census counted { reviewColumns: undefined } as wired (#2984)
## What

Follow-up to the finding @gsxdsm left on #2981, taking the direction
offered there.

Both arms of this census asked whether the lane argument was
**present**, not whether it carried anything:

```ts
isThing(task, { reviewColumns: undefined });   // property present -> counted as wired
isThing(task, undefined);                      // arity satisfied  -> counted as wired
```

The callee receives exactly what it received before: nothing. The seam
is still inert, the board still reads the legacy vocabulary — the census
just stops saying so, which is the one failure mode a ratchet must not
have.

Same defect as the positional one #2981 fixes in
`check-inert-flag-seams`, one level in. The two gates are complementary
by design — this one owns the options-object and default-valued shapes
the other is structurally blind to — so the hole had to be closed in
**both**. Neither covered it, confirmed by probing each with a control
shape.

## The direction I took, since the review raised it as a contract
question

> *tightening just relocates the dishonesty into whichever spelling
survives... especially as I have already spent three attempts learning
that heuristic tightening here trades false positives for worse false
negatives.*

Agreed, which is why this is the narrowest possible reading rather than
a heuristic:

**Only a literal `undefined` / `void 0` counts as empty.** Shorthand `{
reviewColumns }` forwards a variable whose value is not knowable from
syntax, and treating it as unwired would flag every correct forwarding
wrapper in the tree — exactly the false-positive wave that trains
readers to skip a gate. Same for a call expression, a conditional, or
anything else with a value at runtime.

That keeps the rule provable from syntax alone. It doesn't relocate the
dishonesty so much as remove the one spelling that is *demonstrably*
empty; anything ambiguous still counts as wired, so the gate stays
conservative in the direction that matters.

## No tests existed for this census

`check-lane-wiring` and `lane-wiring-census.mjs` had no unit coverage on
`main`, so both rules ship with tests rather than resting on the probe
that found them.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| clean `main` | exit 0, unchanged — all five gates green |
| now caught | property spelled `undefined` · property spelled `void 0`
|
| correctly **not** flagged | a real value · shorthand forwarding · a
call-expression value · a middle `undefined` with a real argument after
it |
| new suite | **8 tests**; reverting both rules fails **exactly** the 3
positives, negatives hold |

## Not done here, deliberately

The second finding on #2981 — `computeBlockerFanoutMap`'s dashboard
wrapper dropping all four lane options, so the fanout display reads
legacy literals on a renamed board — is **not** in this PR. Confirming
the diagnosis: `useBlockerFanout.ts`'s `UseBlockerFanoutOptions`
declares only `staleHighFanoutAgeThresholdMs` and forwards only that,
and all three dashboard call sites (`Board`, `TaskDetailModal`,
`ExecutorStatusBar`) have the same gap.

One correction to how it's framed, though: core already has the right
seam for it. `classify` and `escalationClassify` are documented there as
*"the only correct option on a multi-workflow board"*, precisely because
the set-shaped options assume a column id means the same thing
everywhere. So the fix should thread **per-task classifiers**, not
resolved column-flag sets — otherwise it reproduces the union read that
this program's own learnings doc lists as the fourth failure shape.

What's genuinely undecided is where a per-task role answer comes from in
a sync render path: `Board` holds `columnDef.flags` for the *selected*
workflow only, and the dashboard has no per-task resolver hook. That's
the design call, and it's dashboard-batch work rather than a mechanical
edit — so I've left it for whoever owns that batch rather than guessing
at it inside a gate PR.

16921fc518 fix(engine,core): role resolution was half-done in two shared lifecycle predicates (surfacing family + file-scope leases) (#2975)
The three surfacing sweeps stopped reporting anything for a card resting
in a board's **second** review or hold column.

A lifecycle role is a **trait**, and any number of columns may carry it.
The shared runner resolved it with `resolveLifecycleColumns()[role]` —
**first match** — then gated on it:

```ts
const roleColumn = lifecycle?.[spec.role];        // FIRST column carrying the trait
if (task.column !== resolved.roleColumn) continue; // everything else dropped
```

A workflow that splits human sign-off from the merge lane has two review
columns; one that parks dependency-blocked cards separately has two hold
columns. Cards in the second got **no stale-paused-todo, no
stale-paused-review, no in-review-stalled** diagnostic — silently, with
no error, on all three sweeps at once.

## The second bug hiding inside the fix for the first

Resolving membership but still reading `roleColumns[0]`'s declared
`recovery` applies the **merge lane's** threshold to a card sitting in
the **sign-off** lane. Each card's policy now comes from its own column,
and one of the new cases fails if it doesn't: the first role column
declares a policy that suppresses the signal, the card's own column
declares one that fires.

## Reverted

| | |
|---|---|
| **6 of 12** new cases fail | `fires for a card in the SECOND column
carrying its role` and `reads the recovery policy of the card's OWN role
column` — × 3 sweeps |
| the other 6 pass either way | non-regression halves: still fires for
the FIRST role column, still does **not** fire for a card outside every
role column. Membership must widen the gate, not move it. |

The pre-existing 45 cases were all green throughout — the
single-role-column fixture could not express the case, which is why the
table-driven file that exists to stop these three sweeps drifting apart
never caught it.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 13 + 487 + 71 · surfacing family 57 · core
stale-paused 20 · lint · census `--strict` · sql-literals · fnxc-dates ·
lane-wiring · changesets — all green.

## Note

`holdColumns` was missing from the lane-wiring vocabulary, so the gate
could not see that argument dropped. Added in the same commit.

While reviewing, I found and measured **two problems in #2974** (comment
posted there): six of its newly-visible sites are `satisfies`-wrapped
false positives, and baselining them means deleting a real
`reviewColumns` argument keeps the count unchanged and the gate green;
and its baseline predates #2970, re-opening the slot that PR closed.

## Second commit: the same predicate, half-converted
(`shouldHoldActiveFileScopeLease`)

Folded in here rather than stacked — same file, same class, and a
stacked PR on an unmerged base is not mergeable. Reversible; say the
word and I'll split it.

`shouldHoldActiveFileScopeLease` is the **scheduler's** lease predicate,
shared with the self-healing repair paths deliberately so the two cannot
disagree about who holds a file-scope lease. Its two role answers are
optional parameters defaulting to the legacy ids. The scheduler's own
call sites were converted to pass resolved answers; self-healing's two
were not:

```ts
const isWipColumn    = options?.isWipColumn    ?? task.column === "in-progress";
const isReviewColumn = options?.isReviewColumn ?? task.column === "in-review";
```

On a renamed board neither branch matches, so the predicate returns
`false` for every card. The scheduler kept the lease; self-healing saw
none, cleared `overlapBlockedBy`, and **released a dependent to edit
files another agent still holds** — the outcome `groupOverlappingFiles`
exists to prevent.

Membership comes from the wip/review sets each sweep already resolved a
few lines above, so this adds no reads.

**Reverted:** both new cases fail with `overlapBlockedBy` = `null` — the
release itself, not a proxy. The pre-existing legacy-column case in the
same file passes either way, because `in-progress` satisfies the literal
default; that is exactly why it never caught this.

Lane-wiring baseline re-recorded `9 -> 7` in the same commit (the
ratchet refused a stale allowance, as intended).

**Verification:** gate 161 + 13 + 487 + 71 · surfacing 57 · overlap-seam
+ scheduler-lease + query-blindness 79 · core stale-paused 20 · lint ·
census `--strict` · sql-literals · fnxc-dates · changesets — green.

2411699756 fix(gate): passing undefined for the lane answer read as supplying it (#2981)
## What

Continuing the #2979 discipline — probe a ratchet with shapes its author
did *not* have in mind — applied to my own inert-seam gate. Four probes,
three got through. Two turned out to be the sibling gate's job. This is
the one that's nobody's:

```ts
resolveSomething("KB-1", undefined)
```

The seam is a trailing optional parameter, so the gate asked how many
**arguments** a call site passes. Spelling the omission out satisfies
that count while the callee receives exactly what it received before:
nothing. The parameter is still inert, the board still reads the legacy
vocabulary — the gate just stops saying so.

Not an exotic spelling. It's what a partial wiring-up produces when
flags are threaded through an intermediate that has none to pass, and
what a mechanical positional edit produces when it fills argument slots.

## Missed by both gates — checked before touching anything

`check-lane-wiring` (#2966) covers the default-valued and options-object
shapes this gate is structurally blind to. I probed it first, and it
caught **both**, so the two remain genuinely complementary rather than
overlapping. But it counts arguments the same way here, so this shape
was uncovered by either.

| probe | inert-seam (before) | lane-wiring |
|---|---|---|
| omitted entirely | caught | — |
| default-valued param | missed | **caught** |
| options-object flags | missed | **caught** |
| explicit `undefined` | missed | **missed** ← this PR |

## The trim is trailing-only

A **middle** `undefined` still positions the arguments after it, so
those are real answers. That's the case that keeps the trim honest, and
it's pinned as a test.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| clean `main` | exit 0, unchanged |
| now caught | explicit `undefined` · `void 0` · several trailing
undefineds |
| correctly **not** flagged | a real trailing value · a middle
`undefined` with a real value after it |
| gate's own suite | **12 → 18 tests**, all green |
| reverting to the raw argument count | fails **exactly** the 3
positives; the negatives hold |

## One note on the fourth gate

`check-fnxc-future-dates` went red on this branch — on my own comments.
I'd stamped them `2026-07-31`, which is tomorrow. Fixed by correcting
the stamps to today, not by re-recording the baseline; the baseline
already tolerates some pre-existing future stamps and adding mine to it
would have been appeasement. Worth noting that the gate earned its keep
against the person who has been writing the other gates.

968af0822c gate: the lane-wiring ratchet did not scan plugins, dashboard/app, or any .tsx (#2978)
## The new gate re-opened a blind spot the old one had already learned
about

`check-lane-wiring.mjs` (#2966) scanned four roots and only `.ts`:

```js
const ROOTS = ["packages/core/src", "packages/engine/src", "packages/dashboard/src", "packages/cli/src"];
```

`unwired-lane-parameter-guard.test.ts` scans **six**, including
`packages/dashboard/app` and `plugins`, and its FNXC note records
exactly why:

> `plugins` is scanned, and its absence was half of a real escape. […]
an unwired `completeColumnsByTaskId` sat on `main` unreported: the guard
found 0 across 1753 files, and 0 again across 2114 once plugins were
added, because the shape was invisible too. **Fixing either alone would
still have missed it.**

That is the same trap here, and it needed **two** changes. Those trees
are overwhelmingly `.tsx`, which the file filter excluded — so adding
the roots without the extension would have scanned a handful of files
and reported a reassuring near-zero.

## What the widened scan found: 10 sites, in 8 files, audited not
blind-baselined

| site | verdict |
| --- | --- |
| `dependency-graph/GraphTaskNode.tsx` (`isTaskStuck`) | **real** —
`isTaskStuck` takes an optional 4th `columnFlags`; omitted,
`isWipColumnRole` falls back to the literal, so **no card on a renamed
board is ever shown stuck** in the graph |
| `dashboard/app/Lane.tsx`, `ListView.tsx` (`sortTasksForDisplayColumn`)
| **real**, dashboard batch |
| `dashboard/app/ModelSelectorTab.tsx` ×2
(`resolveEffectiveExecutor`/`Validator`) | **real**, dashboard batch |
| `dashboard/app/TaskDetailModal.tsx`
(`isNearDuplicateCanonicalInactive`) | **real**, dashboard batch |
| `even-cards/routes/board-routes.ts` ×3 (`boardToDeck`) | **cannot be
fixed in place** — deprecated plugin depending on `@fusion/plugin-sdk`
alone, with no resolution source |
| `even-realities-glasses/routes/board-routes.ts:141` (`boardToDeck`) |
**harmless by construction** — the `{ maxCards: 1 }` summary call slices
`active` to empty, so `terminalColumns` cannot change its output;
documented in `cards.ts` |

They are baselined rather than fixed because they span three other
batches. I did **not** fix the graph one despite it being my area:
wiring it needs the plugin prop contract to carry column flags, and the
plugin's own `dashboard-interop.d.ts` declares `isTaskStuck` with only
three parameters — so it crosses the dashboard↔plugin API boundary
rather than being a local change.

## Merge-order hazard, stated precisely

A **decrease** also exits 1 (`process.exit(1)` on the `decreased`
branch), and #2976 wires `packages/cli/src/commands/task-lifecycle.ts`,
which is present in this baseline. **If #2976 lands after this PR,
main's gate goes red** until the baseline is re-recorded.

It fails loudly rather than silently, so it is a chore not a risk.
Merging #2976 first and letting me re-record here is the cleanest order
— say the word and I will push the re-record.

## Verification (measured)

- `check-lane-wiring` — green, **19 known / none added** (was 9 across 4
roots)
- `unwired-lane-parameter-guard.test.ts` — **9 passed**, the older guard
is unaffected
- `lifecycle-column-census --strict`, `check-sql-column-literals`,
`check-fnxc-future-dates` — green

Gate/tooling only; no product file is touched.

634d487c3e fix(gate): a lane id hoisted into a const evaded the SQL column-literal gate (#2980)
## What

In #2979 I argued a ratchet should be mutation-probed with shapes its
author did **not** have in mind, on the day it ships. Applying that to
my own gate: two of three probes walked straight through.

```ts
const LANE = "done";
sql`... WHERE "column" = ${LANE}`                       // MISSED

const LANES = ["in-progress", "in-review"];
sql`... WHERE "column" IN (${sql.join(LANES)})`         // MISSED
```

Both bind the query to the legacy vocabulary exactly as an inline
`'done'` does. An interpolation that wasn't a column reference collapsed
to the NUL sentinel, so the predicate dissolved before the matcher ever
ran.

**This is the shape a cleanup produces.** Hoisting a repeated string to
a named const reads as tidying, which makes it the likeliest way one of
these gets rewritten — and the gate would have gone quiet on a file that
changed only in punctuation. Third time this scanner has had that
failure (static-span join, element-access column ref, now this). The
array form isn't hypothetical: `IN ('in-progress','in-review')` was the
live workflow-analytics defect.

## The first version of this fix was wrong, and that's the useful part

Resolving *any* string-valued const double-counted the analytics files,
which build queries as:

```ts
const completedClauses = [`t."column" = 'done'`, "t.columnMovedAt IS NOT NULL"];
```

Those elements are SQL fragments **already counted where they're
written**. Resolving the const re-injected each into the outer template.
The three analytics files went `3/3/1` → `6/5/2` — and it read exactly
like a genuine find. Only **bare lane ids** are resolved now; the
fragment-array case is pinned as a test.

I also nearly shipped that version on a bad probe: `node gate | tail`
then `echo $?` reads *tail's* exit status, not the gate's. Every probe
reported "caught" while the gate was actually failing on main for an
unrelated reason. Worth repeating because the harness looked fine and
agreed with what I expected.

## Measured

| check | result |
|---|---|
| clean `main` | **22 sites, exit 0, unchanged** — no false positives
introduced |
| now caught | const string · const array via `sql.join` · as-const via
`inArray` |
| correctly **not** flagged | resolver-produced lanes · non-legacy ids ·
SQL-fragment array |
| gate's own suite | **26 → 32 tests**, all green |
| blinding the resolution | fails **exactly** the 3 new positive tests;
the 3 negatives still pass |

The negatives outnumber what feels necessary on purpose: eager
resolution is how this went wrong the first time, and the fragment-array
test is the one that would have caught it.

## Scope

Same-file `const` declarations only. Cross-file imports need a type
checker and a program-wide pass — a constant imported from another
module is **still invisible**, and `--list` output is where that gets
audited. Stating the boundary rather than half-resolving it and calling
the gate complete.

41af5e5dbd fix(gate): the lane-wiring census could not see its own motivating case (#2956) (#2974)
#2966 shipped a gate that **cannot detect the defect named first in its
own header.**

`findLaneAcceptingFunctions` matched a lane parameter only when
`param.type` was a `TypeLiteralNode` — an inline `{ reviewColumns?: …
}`. But the real code declares these as interfaces:

```ts
export function getInReviewStallReason(
  task: Pick<Task, …>,
  context: InReviewStallContext = {},   // TypeReference — invisible
): InReviewStallSignal | undefined
```

so the function never entered `accepting` and none of its call sites
were examined.

### Measured, both directions

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| lane-accepting functions detected | 20 | **30** |
| `getInReviewStallReason` detected | no | **yes** |
| re-introduce #2956 (drop `reviewColumns` from one call site) | `none
added` — **passes** | **fails**: `reads.ts: 7 unwired now, baseline
allows 6` |

The gate now catches the thing it was built for.

### The baseline moves 10 → 24, and that number needs context

`10 unwired call site(s) across 8 files` → `24 across 15`. **No entry
was removed** — every previously-recorded file kept its count and 14
sites became visible for the first time:

```
core/task-store/reads.ts                        0 -> 6
engine/self-healing.ts                          2 -> 4
core/task-store/branch-and-pr-entities.ts       0 -> 1
core/task-store/task-update.ts                  0 -> 1
engine/scheduler.ts                             0 -> 1
dashboard/routes/register-task-workflow-routes  0 -> 1
cli/commands/dashboard-tui/bucket-mapping.ts    0 -> 1
cli/extension.ts                                0 -> 1
```

**These are newly VISIBLE, not newly broken** — they have been unwired
all along. I have **not** audited them, and recording them in the
baseline is not a claim that they are fine; it is the ratchet doing what
its header describes, since the census's own note says roughly half of
the original hits were legitimately unwired (identity proven by a
stronger means, sentinel columns, dead exports). Someone should walk the
14. Two stand out as worth a look first: **`reads.ts` at 6** is the file
#2956 was about, and **`scheduler.ts`** is a dispatch path.

Flagging rather than fixing, because wiring a call site that should not
be wired is its own defect and each needs the judgement call the census
header describes.

### Regression test

`packages/engine/src/__tests__/lane-wiring-census-named-types.test.ts`
pins the detector's shape — named interface, type alias, inline literal,
positional — against fixtures rather than live counts, so it does not
churn when someone legitimately wires a call site. Plus one anti-vacuity
case asserting the named-type arm is still load-bearing on real source
(`getInReviewStallReason` resolves in the live tree), so the fixtures
cannot pass while the tool has quietly stopped applying here.

**Mutation:** removing the `TypeReference` arm fails **4 of 5**.

### Also worth knowing

`findLaneAcceptingFunctions` still only visits
`ts.isFunctionDeclaration` at top level, so `export const fn = (ctx) =>
…` remains invisible. I checked — no exported arrow function currently
takes a lane argument, so nothing is missed today, and I left it rather
than widen the surface in the same change.

Resolved by **name across the corpus** instead of a type-checker
`Program`: these are plain source scans and a checker would cost a full
type-resolution pass for one lookup. Two same-named types merge, which
only ever widens what counts as wired — safe for a ratchet.

**Verified:** 5/5 new tests, `check-lane-wiring` clean at the new
baseline, lint clean, FNXC gate exit 0. Core suite on main is green
(4923 passed / 0 failed) — unrelated, but I had it running.

be79fe0db6 fix(cli): PR merges silently never ran on a renamed board — the blocker was asked about in-review (#2976)
## PR merges silently never ran on a renamed board

`processPullRequestMergeTask` called its injected blocker with the task
alone:

```ts
if (getTaskMergeBlocker(task)) return "skipped";
```

So `options.reviewColumns` was undefined and the blocker's identity
check fell back to `task.column === "in-review"`. On a board whose merge
lane is named anything else it returns:

```
task is in 'checking', must be in 'in-review'
```

…which is truthy, so this function returns `"skipped"`. **Silently and
permanently** — nothing logs, nothing fails, the PR simply never merges.
`daemon.ts`, `serve.ts` and `dashboard.ts` all drain PR merges through
here, making this a third instance of the #2963/#2964 class ("merge
entry points unwired — merging was impossible on a renamed board").

Found via the baseline #2966 shipped:
`packages/cli/src/commands/task-lifecycle.ts` was a known-unwired call
site in it.

## Narrow resolution, deliberately

`resolveReviewColumns` is the **broad** set, and its own FNXC note warns
that a caller which admits on it *and then moves the card* will act on
cards the engine does not consider in review. This function merges and
moves to the complete lane — a state-changing admission — so it uses
`resolveMergeOrchestrationColumn`, the single lane the engine acts on.
That matches how `moves.ts` wires the same call.

Degradation is unchanged in both directions: `resolveWorkflowIrForTask`
substitutes the default IR rather than throwing, so a default board
resolves `in-review` and behaves identically; a v1-upgraded IR resolves
every role empty and keeps the documented legacy literal (covered by a
test).

## One shape choice worth flagging

The option is always **passed** and conditionally **valued**:

```ts
getTaskMergeBlocker(task, { reviewColumns: mergeLane ? new Set([mergeLane]) : undefined })
```

rather than making the whole argument conditional. These are identical
at runtime — the blocker treats an undefined `reviewColumns` exactly as
it treats absent options — but **only this shape is visible to
`lane-wiring-census.mjs`**, which matches an object-literal argument and
cannot see a ternary. I wrote the ternary first, and the gate still
reported the site as unwired; wiring a gate cannot check is how this
defect survived in the first place.

The gate then confirmed the fix and asked for the baseline in the same
commit:

```
[check-lane-wiring] unwired call sites decreased:
  packages/cli/src/commands/task-lifecycle.ts: 1 -> 0
```

Baseline re-recorded 9 → 8 in this commit, so the allowance cannot be
regrown into.

## Revert proof

**There was no test for this function at all** — that is why it went
unnoticed. Restoring only `task-lifecycle.ts`:

```
AssertionError: expected "vi.fn()" to be called with arguments: [ ObjectContaining{…}, …(1) ]
AssertionError: expected 'skipped' not to be 'skipped'
AssertionError: expected "vi.fn()" to be called with arguments: [ ObjectContaining{…}, undefined ]
      Tests  3 failed | 1 passed (4)
```

The one case that passes both ways is "still skips a card that is not in
any merge lane" — it guards against over-admission rather than proving
the fix, and I am not claiming it as coverage of the defect.

## Verification (measured)

- new suite **4/4**; with `pr-automerge-cleanup` **9 passed / 2 files**
- `tsc --noEmit`, `eslint` — clean
- `check-lane-wiring` (8, none added), `lifecycle-column-census
--strict`, `check-sql-column-literals`, `check-fnxc-future-dates` —
green

**Changeset added** (`patch`). `packages/cli` is the published
`@runfusion/fusion` and this changes user-facing merge behaviour, so
AGENTS.md requires one. My first pass hedged and left it to a maintainer
— that was wrong, the rule is not discretionary, and it is now in the
branch.

2fd798cb36 core: every review card reported a false stall on a renamed board (#2970)
**The failure mode worth distinguishing: the rest of this family went
quiet on a renamed board. This one shouted.**

`getInReviewStallReason` satisfied its **own** lane check from
`context.reviewColumns` — then called `getTaskMergeBlocker` **without**
them. That helper re-ran its column-identity check against the literal
`in-review` and returned, for a perfectly healthy card:

```
task is in 'signoff', must be in 'in-review'
```

…which was surfaced as `{ code: "merge-blocker" }`. **Every in-review
card on a renamed board was flagged as stalled**, each citing a lane the
board does not have. That is how a signal stops being read at all.

## A second symptom, found by the revert rather than by reading

On a **genuinely failed** card, the identity message wins over the real
one. The operator saw the bogus column complaint instead of `task is
marked 'failed': merge verification failed`.

So it did not only invent stalls — it **masked the true reason for real
ones**. I would not have noticed that from the diff; it showed up
because the revert run asserted on the reason text.

## Same shape, last one in the family

The outer question was resolved and the inner one was not — the
half-conversion the helper's own comment records for `moves.ts`, and
#2963/#2964 fixed for the merge entry points. This is the last site the
audit turned up where the lane answer was already in scope and simply
not forwarded.

## Revert results

| | reverted → |
| --- | --- |
| the unforwarded call (what ships today) | **2 of 3 fail** — healthy
card reports a merge-blocker stall; failed card reports the wrong reason
|

**Fixture note worth keeping:** `paused` is deliberately *not* the
genuine-stall case. An earlier guard returns `undefined` for a paused
card before the merge blocker is ever consulted, so that case would pass
whether or not the lanes are forwarded — the vacuous shape this series
has produced eight times.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71; `@fusion/core` full suite **4878
passed** (457 files); `tsc` core clean; lint, lifecycle census
`--strict`, FNXC gate, changesets all clean.

19deb42170 gate: ratchet call sites that never receive the lane answer (#2966)
**This is the gap that let three defects reach `main` in one day.**

`unwired-lane-parameter.mjs` catches a parameter that reaches **no**
caller. It is deliberately satisfied by a mention *anywhere*, so
**partial** wiring is invisible to it:

| | |
| --- | --- |
| #2956 | `getInReviewStallReason` wired at **0 of 4** call sites while
both siblings were wired |
| #2963 | both merge entry points unwired — merging was **impossible**
on a renamed board |
| #2964 | merge-confirmed finalization unwired — **already-landed work
parked `failed`** |

Every one was a fix that added an optional parameter without the
call-site sweep that has to follow it. The existing guard was green
throughout, correctly by its own contract.

## A census, not a guard — and that distinction is the whole design

Auditing the sites this finds showed **four of seven were legitimately
unwired**: `skipColumnIdentityCheck` callers have already proven lane
identity by a stronger means, a sentinel-column caller wants the
identity check satisfied by construction, and a dead export has no
caller to wire at all.

A check that failed on those is ~57% false positives. The sibling
guard's own header says why that is worse than a miss — *"it teaches
people to disable the check"* — and I agree, so this does not do it.

Instead it ratchets like the lifecycle census: **36 known unwired sites
across 20 files**, allowed to shrink and not to grow. A new unwired
caller raises the count and fails; wiring one lowers it and re-records.
The recurrence — adding a caller that forgets the lane answer — is
precisely what gets caught, and the legitimate sites cost one baseline
line each instead of a permanently red gate.

## Detection is AST-based, deliberately

It finds exported functions accepting a lane-named argument — directly
*or* as an options-bag member — then finds call sites passing none of
them.

Not regex: the ad-hoc scan I used during the audit produced false
negatives on multi-line calls, which is exactly how a caller gets missed
in the first place. Using a heuristic to police a defect caused by a
heuristic seemed like a poor trade.

## Verified to fail on the recurrence

A ratchet that cannot fail is worse than none, so this was measured
rather than assumed. Injecting one new unwired caller into
`self-healing.ts`:

```
[check-lane-wiring] call sites not passing a resolved lane argument INCREASED:

  packages/engine/src/self-healing.ts: 9 unwired now, baseline allows 8
```

exit 1, naming the file and the delta.

## Placement

Runs as a named `check:lane-wiring` step in `pr-checks.yml` beside the
lifecycle, SQL, inert-seam and FNXC ratchets — same convention, same
failure ergonomics, ~1s.

Note the baseline records today's state, which still includes the
#2963/#2964 sites because those fixes have not merged yet. When they
land the count drops and the baseline is re-recorded downward — the
ratchet working as intended rather than a conflict.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71; `tsc` engine clean; lint,
lifecycle census `--strict`, FNXC gate, and the new check all clean.

126cee7e6d engine: finalization parked ALREADY-MERGED work as failed on a renamed board (#2964)
**The worst symptom in this family: the branch landed, and the board
says the task failed.**

`project-engine`'s merge-confirmed finalization spread the task's
**real** column into `getTaskHardMergeBlocker` with no `reviewColumns`,
so the identity check ran against the literal `in-review`. On a renamed
board it returned `task is in 'signoff', must be in 'in-review'`, and
the caller parked the card:

```
status: "failed"
error:  "Merge confirmed but finalization blocked: task is in 'signoff', must be in 'in-review'"
```

For work that had already merged.

## Its sibling had already solved this

`auto-merge-finalization.ts` passes the **review-eligible sentinel**
instead of the card's own column, with the reasoning recorded at that
site: `getTaskHardMergeBlocker` asks *"is this card blocked by anything
other than where it sits?"*, and its callers are recovery paths for
landed work that a graph crash can leave resting in any column.
`project-engine` simply never got the same treatment.

## One name instead of two spellings

Rather than write the sentinel a second time, it is exported once as
`REVIEW_ELIGIBLE_SENTINEL_COLUMN` next to the helper whose contract
gives it meaning, and both recovery paths use it. **Two sites
independently spelling a magic value is how one of them came to be
missing it** — that is the actual root cause here, not the literal
itself.

This also answers the census, which flagged the new literal — correctly.
Its guidance (which I wrote, in #2909) is to hoist a deliberate literal
into a *declaration*, where a `DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker actually
attaches, instead of leaving it mid-expression where the marker is
silently ignored. The shared constant is exactly that, and it lowers
`auto-merge-finalization`'s literal count too.

## Revert result

| | reverted → |
| --- | --- |
| sentinel replaced by the card's own renamed column | reproduces the
shipped string |

The middle test asserts that string deliberately — it is what landed in
`task.error`, so a regression reports what the operator would actually
have seen. A third case checks the sentinel does **not** suppress
genuine blockers: incomplete steps still block finalization in any lane.

These drive the helper directly; reaching `project-engine`'s
finalization end to end needs a live engine, a merge run and a real
repo, while the defect is entirely in *what the blocker is asked*.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71; `project-engine` +
`auto-merge-finalization` + the new suite, 207; `tsc` clean on core and
engine; lint, census `--strict`, FNXC gate, changesets all clean.

189f237a07 fix(security): make the approval and permission gates actually enforce (#2457)
## Why

An AI agent autonomously deleted a live task (FN-8609) via
`fn_task_delete`. Investigating that led to two audits, which found the
gate machinery is well-built and its *enforcement* well-tested — but the
*decision boundary* was unguarded and the tools that matter never
reached the gate at all.

The headline defect: all ~76 tools in `packages/cli/src/extension.ts`
are delivered through `hostExtensionPaths` → `DefaultResourceLoader`,
which never passes through `wrapToolsWithActionGate`. `fn_task_delete`
*was* classified as gated in `gating-classifications.ts` — that
classification was dead code. Roughly 15 destructive tools were ungated
even for an operator who had locked their policy all the way down.

Second: `POST /api/approvals/:id/decision` took the approver identity
from the request body, validated for shape only, with no check that the
decider was human or differed from the requester. Combined with a bash
tool whose command string was never inspected (only `params.cwd`), an
agent could read the daemon token from `~/.fusion/settings.json`, find
its own pending request, and approve it.

## Scope

This does **not** tighten defaults. The `unrestricted` preset is
byte-for-byte unchanged — `git diff` on `agent-permission-policy.ts` is
empty — and regression tests assert that an out-of-the-box install
behaves exactly as before. The bug was never "the default is too
permissive"; it was "strict policy doesn't enforce." This makes turning
security up actually work.

The one deliberate exception: the containment that stops an agent
escalating its *own* privileges (reading the daemon token / credentials,
calling the approvals API to self-approve) applies at every preset
including `unrestricted`. That is a privilege-escalation boundary rather
than a permission preference — if it only engaged under strict policy it
would not have prevented the incident that prompted this.

## What changed

8 bisectable commits:

- **Approval lifecycle** — self-approval blocked via server-derived
deciders; same-verdict replay 409s; decide re-reads and re-validates
inside the transaction; expiry TTLs; `markCompleted` ownership check;
session identity registry in core.
- **Engine gates enforce for real** — unclassified tools resolve to a
policy-governed category instead of hardcoded `allow`; missing-policy
fail-open closed; bash containment floor + exact-command approval
binding.
- **Dashboard decision routes** — stop trusting client-supplied actors
(decision, bypass-review, worktrunk → 403 on forged actors).
- **`fn serve` authenticated by default** — auto-mints a token following
the existing `fn dashboard` precedent; `--no-auth` opts out.
- **Sibling entry points closed** — user-sourced hard-cancel moves, ACP
execute-once approvals, plugin task-store gating.
- **pi-extension principal resolution** — the extension resolves the
acting principal and can withhold or policy-gate the previously ungated
destructive tools.
- **Root-cause bonus fix** — `findLatestByDedupeKey` was broken in
PostgreSQL backend mode (already-parsed jsonb fed through a string-only
parser), so approved-grant redemption **never matched in production**,
minting duplicate requests. This explains the live DB state of 17
approved / 0 completed. *(Also cherry-picked to `main` as `a9b30013bb`,
since it is an active production defect on its own.)*
- **Review follow-ups** (`627f1b1fa8`) — operator-configured
provisioning privilege and a configurable grant TTL; see below.

## Review follow-ups

**Provisioning privilege is operator-configured, not role-derived.**
`isCallerPrivileged` had gone from `caller.reportsTo == null` (every
top-level agent privileged — permanent escalation by creating a
manager-less agent) to `caller.role === "ceo"`, which swapped an
implicit rule for a magic string: any agent config can claim that role,
while an operator who genuinely wants a privileged agent had no
supported way to say so. Privilege now derives solely from
`agentProvisioning.trustedAgentIds` / `trustedRoles` and fails closed
when settings are unresolvable.

It is also no longer forwarded to `resolveAgentProvisioningPolicy` as
`isPrivileged`, because that flag short-circuits ahead of
`alwaysApproveDelete` — a trusted caller was bypassing delete approval
entirely. The policy applies the same trusted rules itself, in the right
order. The function now governs only the org-chart escape hatch (acting
outside your own direct reports).

**Grant TTL defaults to 1 hour and is configurable.** Approval →
redemption is not instantaneous: an operator approving from their phone,
an engine restart, a queued lane, or a task waiting on a worktree all
routinely exceeded 15 minutes, after which the grant expired and the
agent silently re-requested. One hour remains far short of the
"redeemable forever" hazard the TTL exists to bound. Override via
`FUSION_APPROVAL_GRANT_TTL_MS` or `configureApprovalRequestTtls()`;
invalid overrides are ignored rather than widening the window to
infinity or collapsing it to zero.

## Behavior changes requiring operator review before rollout

1. `fn serve` requires a bearer token by default (`--no-auth` opts out);
unauthenticated clients get 401.
2. Agents can no longer run withheld destructive tools
(`fn_task_delete`, `fn_task_bypass_review`,
mission/milestone/slice/feature/workflow deletes, `experiment_finalize`,
`skills_install`). Operators keep them via CLI/dashboard. **This is the
incident fix.**
3. Agents get provisioning privilege only when the operator lists them
in `agentProvisioning.trustedAgentIds` / `trustedRoles`; the
provisioning gate is now live in production. Previously-implicit
privilege (top-level position, or a `ceo` role) no longer grants
anything on its own.
4. Decision replay 409s (was 200); pending approvals expire after 24h,
approved grants after 1h (configurable); bash approvals bind per exact
command.
5. Forged/body actors on decision, bypass-review, worktrunk routes →
403; `archive-all-done` requires `{confirm:true}` (external scripts
affected).
6. `fn_secret_get` approvals grant exactly one reveal (previously
granted nothing and looped forever); ACP approvals are execute-once
(previously infinite reuse).
7. Bash containment denies token/credential/approvals-API commands in
all agent sessions at every preset.

## Verification

Independently re-run against the branch, not just self-reported:

- 5 typechecks (core, engine, cli, dashboard `tsconfig.json` +
`tsconfig.app.json`) — clean
- `pnpm lint` — clean
- `pnpm test:gate` — 379 passed
- `pnpm build --force` — green (a plain `pnpm build` skips packages as
unchanged and does **not** compile the branch)
- `pnpm check:changesets` — clean
- ~650 file-scoped tests including new negative-path suites for the
decision boundary, which previously had **zero** test coverage

`packages/engine/src/__tests__/plugin-runner.test.ts` fails 56/80 —
**verified pre-existing**, reproducing identically at base commit
`93a403af67` on `main`. Not in the merge gate.

### A mutation check that failed to fail

Worth recording, because it nearly shipped an untested security fix. The
first mutation check on the provisioning change reintroduced the `ceo`
hardcode and **all 17 tests still passed** — the tests asserted through
the policy path, which can no longer observe `isCallerPrivileged` at
all, precisely because `isPrivileged` is no longer forwarded there.
Org-chart cases that do exercise the function were added; the hardcode
now fails exactly 1 of 19, and restoring is green. A green mutation run
is only meaningful if the test can actually see the code under test.

## Known limitations (stated, not papered over)

- The bash containment floor is string-matching: a cost-raiser, not a
sandbox. Quoting, encoding, `$HOME`, symlinks, or an interpreter
one-liner can evade it. The durable protection is the decision route
refusing agent-originated deciders — the filter is the belt, not the
braces.
- Approval expiry is lazy (evaluated at decide/complete/redeem), not
swept, so an expired pending row stays visible in lists until touched.
- The extension's require-approval path returns a pending message but
cannot suspend a pi session mid-turn; engine-side pause hooks cover
engine lanes only.

1f0d371228 fix(tests): three more portal query-root failures (pr-tab, worktree-terminal, milestone-slice) (#2959)
Three dashboard test files asserted against `render()`'s `container`,
but the components under test mount through `createPortal` — so
`container` is **empty** and every query returns nothing. Same root
cause as the earlier portal batch; these are the three that were still
held back.

| File | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| `TaskDetailModal.pr-tab` | failing | pass |
| `TaskDetailModal.worktree-terminal` | failing | pass |
| `MilestoneSliceInterviewModal` | failing | pass |

**Measured: 39/39 passing**, rebased on current main (`3461ae7a92`).
Lint clean, FNXC date gate exit 0.

### Why this stayed hidden

The queries were a **mix** of `container.querySelector(...)` and
`screen.*`. `screen` queries `document`, so they kept working — a
portal-mounted modal makes only the `container` half go blind. The
result is a file that looks half-alive rather than obviously broken, and
the failures present as five different-looking symptoms (`null`,
`undefined`, `+0`, `[]`, `-1`) that don't read as one bug.

Grouping candidate files by **`container.querySelector` call count**
rather than by symptom is what identified these correctly, and — the
part that mattered — correctly *excluded* the neighbouring files that
were failing for unrelated reasons.

### One thing to know if you repeat this

A blanket `container` → `document` replace is wrong: it also rewrites
`renderResult.container.querySelector` into
`renderResult.document.querySelector`, which is not a thing. That broke
two already-passing tests on my first attempt. This uses two separate
passes with a lookbehind so only the bare receiver is rewritten.

### Scope

Test-side only — **no product code changes**, so no changeset. This does
not fix the *cause* (tests are still free to query the wrong root); a
lint rule for that is worth considering separately, but it would need to
distinguish portal-mounting components from ordinary ones, and I did not
want to guess at that boundary inside a test-fix PR.

3461ae7a92 docs(gate): record why the SQL-literal gate deliberately does not scan .sql (#2957)
Comment-only. No behavior change.

## Why this is worth a commit

#2954 fixed the FNXC-date gate's walk: its extension filter listed the
file types stamps were **expected** in rather than the ones they
**occur** in, so it was blind to `.sql` and `.css`. That is a tempting
pattern to generalize, and `check-sql-column-literals.mjs` is the
obvious next candidate — a gate about *SQL* column literals that scans
only `.tsx?`.

Applying the same fix here would be wrong, and quietly so.

## The two gates are not the same kind of tool

The FNXC gate is a plain-text regex scanner, so widening its extension
list is trivially correct. This one is **AST-based**:
`ts.createSourceFile(..., ScriptKind.TSX)` followed by a walk over
string and template nodes.

A `.sql` file is not TypeScript. Adding the extension would not widen
coverage — it would feed DDL to the TS parser and traverse whatever
lenient-mode nodes fell out. The gate would then **report coverage it
does not have**, which is strictly worse than not looking, because the
silence would read as "SQL is clean."

## Measured before deciding

38 tracked `.sql` files contain exactly one lifecycle-looking literal:

```
0022_ideation.sql:19  CONSTRAINT ideation_sessions_status_check
                      CHECK (status IN ('open','converged','archived'))
```

That is the **ideation-session** status enum — a different domain that
happens to reuse the word — not a `tasks.column` comparison, and not
something this gate would flag even if it could parse the file. **Zero
real offenders.**

So the honest scope is recorded as: raw SQL is **unwatched**, and the
trigger that would make it worth watching is a data backfill (`UPDATE
tasks SET column = ...`) landing in a migration. If that ever happens it
needs a separate raw-text matcher against the exported `COMPARISON`, not
an entry in the extension filter.

## Verification

- `check-sql-column-literals` → exit 0
- `check-fnxc-future-dates` → exit 0, "478 known, none added" (the new
stamp is dated today, local)
- `scripts/__tests__/check-sql-column-literals.test.mjs` → **26 pass, 0
fail**
- `scripts/__tests__/check-inert-flag-seams.test.mjs` → **12 pass, 0
fail**
- `eslint` clean

## Why a comment rather than a doc

Per AGENTS.md, decisions of this shape belong next to the code they
constrain. The failure mode is specifically someone reading the walk,
noticing `.sql` is missing, and "fixing" it — so the note has to be at
the filter, where that person is looking, not in `docs/solutions/`.

255741e9ab fix(gate): scan every file type that carries an FNXC stamp (#2954)
The walk's extension filter was `/\.(tsx?|m?js|cjs|md)$/` — the file
types stamps were **expected** in, rather than the ones they **occur**
in. Wherever the convention spread on its own, the gate could not see
it.

## How I found it

Chasing four stamps dated `2026-10-19` — three months out, so unlike the
rest of the population they would not age out on their own. All four
were in `packages/core/dist/`, which the gate correctly skips as
generated. The *source* they were compiled from is a `.sql` migration,
which the gate skips for a different and much worse reason: it was never
scanned at all.

## Why `.sql` is the expensive omission

A migration's stamp records **when a schema change landed**. That is the
case where a wrong date misleads most — it is the file you read to
reconstruct the order schema changes happened in. 69 migration files
carry stamps; 10 were future-dated and none were visible.

`.css` had drifted furthest by volume: **1023 stamps across 123 files**,
almost all from the dashboard CSS split. `.html`, `.ya?ml`, `.json`,
`.sh` are included too; they add coverage but contribute no baseline
entries.

## The 9 new baseline entries are newly VISIBLE, not new

5 `.css` + 4 `.sql`. Every one predates this change and would have been
caught had the gate ever looked. Recording them is a
**reclassification**, the same distinction the census draws for its
DELIBERATE-LITERAL marker — a baseline that grows here is the gate's
coverage improving, not the codebase regressing. Reading the rise as a
regression would be exactly backwards.

## Verified by mutation, not by reading

- A future-dated stamp appended to `ChatView.css` → gate **exit 1**.
- A future-dated stamp appended to `0036_chat_session_tags.sql` → gate
**exit 1**.
- Both reverted → **exit 0**.

Without this, both probes pass silently.

## Two notes on the diff

- **Zero removals.** My first attempt rewrote the baseline with sorted
keys, which turned unmoved lines into add/remove pairs and made it look
like entries were being dropped. Rebuilt in walk order so the diff is
additions only.
- `reads.ts` is deliberately left at `2` here even though it now
measures `0`. That drop belongs to #2953; duplicating it across two open
PRs is how this queue got tangled before. The gate auto-tightens it at
runtime and still exits 0.

## What this does not fix

The **478** future-dated stamps still in the tree. They are
agent-written (mine included) and most are one or two days out, so the
count falls on its own as the clock advances — it should not be read as
cleanup progress. This PR only makes the gate able to *see* the SQL and
CSS ones, so no new stamp can land there unnoticed.

8e5e1147d2 core,engine: the last literal lifecycle query — and the three stall signals that disagreed (#2951)
**This is the last one.** `surfaceInReviewStalls` was the final literal
`listTasks({ column })` in production — I verified it by direct scan,
not by census arithmetic: **1 remaining before this, 0 after.**

It tells an operator that a card is stalled in review. On a renamed
board the stall was real and the board simply never said so.

## It came last on purpose

Converting the read alone would have been **worse than leaving it**.
`getInReviewStallReason` gated on the literal `in-review` itself, so a
widened read hands every renamed-board card to a classifier that drops
it — the missed-pair class, wearing the shape of a clean one-line
conversion.

## What was actually there

Three sibling signals decorate the same row, and they **disagreed about
which lane it is in**:

| signal | before |
| --- | --- |
| `getInReviewStalledSignal` | singular `reviewColumn` — resolved, but
**first-per-role** |
| `getStalePausedReviewSignal` | singular `reviewColumn` — same |
| `getInReviewStallReason` | **no seam at all** — literal |

So one row could be judged in-review by one signal and not by another.
And the singular ones are the **arity trap**:
`resolveLifecycleColumns().review` is the *first* column carrying a
review role, so a board with a separate merge lane beside its
human-review lane had a second review column matching none of them.

All three now take `reviewColumns` (membership), resolved **once per
row** through `resolveReviewColumns` — the union of the three review
roles — so they cannot disagree by construction. The singular/literal
paths remain as the no-metadata fallback, so a caller passing nothing is
byte-identical to today. Ten call sites in `reads.ts` wired from that
one answer; the singular resolver is deleted.

## Revert results

Each applied alone and re-run:

| conversion | reverted → |
| --- | --- |
| the resolved read | fails — the card is never listed |
| `reviewColumns` at the call | fails — the classifier drops the renamed
card the widened read just found |

That second row is the whole point: it proves the pair had to move
together, which is the thing I got wrong twice earlier in this series.

## Second commit: a red on `main`, not from this branch

`check-fnxc-future-dates` landed and **`main` fails it** — verified by
running the script on a clean `origin/main` checkout rather than
inferring. Nine files carry stamps dated after today, so every worker's
gate fails on a check none of their changes caused. Several are mine: I
had been stamping tomorrow's date across this whole series, which is
precisely the out-of-order record the check exists to prevent.

Scope held deliberately: a repo-wide sweep touched **266 files** across
docs, scripts and every package. I ran it, backed it out, and limited
this to the nine files the check actually flags — a mechanical rewrite
that size during a queue freeze would conflict with every in-flight
branch, which is worse than the red it fixes.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71 (green **only** with the stamp
commit); `@fusion/core` full suite **4810 passed**; engine self-healing
+ blindness + both ratchets **758 passed**; `tsc` clean on core and
engine; `pnpm lint`, `check:changesets`, `lifecycle-column-census
--strict`, `check-sql-column-literals` and `check-fnxc-future-dates` all
clean.

f49e487d91 feat(core): untraited-project lane opt-in — and main was red on the FNXC gate (#2949)
Two things, and the second is why the first does not ship alone.

## The opt-in

`resolveProjectColumnsForRoles` gains `untraitedProject:
"declared-columns"`. When **no** workflow in the project expresses
**any** lifecycle trait, every declared column id joins the answer.

This is the three-state rule at **project** scope — the last item on the
deferred list, recorded at three self-healing call sites (#2869, #2876).
A board that renames its lanes and declares no traits contributes
nothing today, so its cards are **absent from every role-keyed query**,
and the correct per-card fallback downstream never runs for them. A
fallback cannot rescue a card the query never returned.

**Not "no workflow declares this role."** A project that expresses
traits and has no review lane has *answered*; widening there would
invent lanes it deliberately lacks. Mutation-verified both directions —
widening unconditionally fails 1 of 12, making the option a no-op fails
1 of 12.

**Opt-in, not default**, because the safe direction differs per caller —
the finding in `project-union-versus-per-task-lanes.md`:

| caller | over-inclusion costs |
|---|---|
| sweep | nothing — the per-card check discards the extra rows |
| aggregator | an inflated number an operator reads (#2864, #2866) |
| action site | a card routed or notified under a vocabulary that is not
its own (#2852, #2891) |

Making it the default moves all three at once, in the one direction two
of them must not. Verified byte-identical without the option, so this
lands with **no caller changes** and each site adopts it on its own
reasoning.

## Main was red, and my own gate caught me first

I dated the new comments `2026-07-31` while today is `2026-07-30` —
**the exact defect `check-fnxc-future-dates` exists to prevent,
committed while writing the feature.** The gate I added yesterday failed
my own commit.

Correcting mine surfaced that the merged sentinel batch, #2947, and
three engine test files carried future-dated stamps too, so **the gate
was failing on `main` for everyone**, not just here.

All corrected to real dates rather than raising the ceiling. The stamps
were simply wrong, and a baseline bump would have recorded the error as
permitted — which is the failure mode that ratchet exists to prevent.

Core and engine `tsc` clean, `pnpm lint` clean, census `--strict` 0,
FNXC gate 0 (469 known, none added), gate green (161/487/13/71).

b1bd571682 batch-sql-ratchet: the census / gate-ratchet family — collection branch, fold here (#2941)
## Family branch for consolidation directive item 4

`batch-sql-ratchet` did not exist and ~10 open PRs are waiting for a
collection point, so this establishes it. **Fold your census/ratchet
commit here and close your own PR as superseded.**

```bash
git fetch origin batch-sql-ratchet
git checkout -B batch-sql-ratchet origin/batch-sql-ratchet
git cherry-pick <your-sha>
# verify scoped, not full suite:
pnpm --filter @fusion/core exec vitest run src/__tests__/archived-column-gate-parity.test.ts --silent=passed-only --reporter=dot
git push origin HEAD:batch-sql-ratchet
```

**Candidates I can see open right now** (owners: please fold + close):

| PR | branch |
|---|---|
| #2938 | `fix/comments-ops-sentinel` |
| #2935 | `fix/task-artifacts-sentinels` |
| #2933 | `chore/commit-tightened-census-baseline` |

| #2921 | `fix/plugin-store-migration-marker` |
| #2894 | `gate/sql-literals-match-census-placement` |

That is **10 → 1** once folded. I have not cherry-picked anyone else's
commits — folding someone's work without them verifying it is how a
batch lands broken.

---

## What is in it so far (mine, from #2924)

**Clears a live main red:** `archived-column-gate-parity` fails on
`origin/main` today.

```
AssertionError: TypeScript encoding changed.
  async-comments-attachments.ts: 8 → 5
```

#2886 fixed a real bug — archived-document guards failing in *opposite*
directions on a renamed lane — by replacing three `column ===
"archived"` comparisons with `isArchivedLane(column, archivedColumns)`.
The AST scan counts raw comparisons, so the tally dropped.

**What I did not do is record it as three sites converted**, because
measured, it is not:

```
grep -rn "archivedColumns:" packages/core/src packages/engine/src --include="*.ts" | grep -v __tests__
→ (no matches)
```

No caller passes it. The parameter defaults to `LEGACY_ARCHIVED_LANES =
new Set(["archived"])`, so every call resolves to the literal it
replaced — byte-identical behaviour, resolved branch dead.

That matters for this guard's whole argument: its header warns that
converting the TypeScript half while the Drizzle and raw-`sql` halves
still compare the string is a split brain *"no test would catch, because
every builtin workflow spells the column `archived` so the two halves
agree by accident on every board we ship."* **There is no split brain
today precisely because the resolved half is unwired** — it becomes one
the moment a caller threads real lanes in without the SQL sides moving.
Recorded inline so `5` cannot be read as "3 sites done"; flagged on
#2886.

Verified not a split brain: the Drizzle and raw-sql inventories are
unchanged and both pass — worth stating because those assertions run
*after* the TypeScript one, so a plain red says nothing about them.

Scoped edit to `AUDITED_TS_SITES` by line range: these paths appear in
more than one inventory here, and an unscoped replace would quietly edit
the raw-sql side too, making the parity guard agree with itself (the
trap I hit in #2817).

Guard still bites: appending a real `task.column === "archived"` to an
audited file fails it. Core **4852 passed / 0 failed**, lint clean,
test-only.

Closing #2924 as superseded by this.

c3df0f641b executor: orphaned tasks were never resumed after a restart on a renamed board (#2947)
`resumeOrphaned` is the only path that recovers tasks after a crash or
restart. On a board with renamed columns it recovered **nothing**.

## A missed pair, not an unconverted read

```ts
const tasks = await this.listWipLaneTasks();          // resolved by role — already converted
const inProgress = tasks.filter(
  (t) => t.column === "in-progress" && …,             // literal — discards everything the read found
);
```

The read was already resolved. The filter directly beneath it
re-asserted the literal on the rows that read returned, so the sweep
found the orphans and threw them all away.

**This is the worse half of the class, and it hid well:**

- the read *looks* converted, so scanning for `listTasks({ column: "…"
})` finds nothing;
- the census scores only the comparison, so the backlog number moves the
**wrong way** as you convert;
- a **structural test already existed** pinning "the read asks for
resolved lanes" — `executor-resume-query-lanes.test.ts` — and it was
green the entire time the sweep was dead. A test asserting the read
exists says nothing about the filter beneath it.

The failure only surfaces after a crash, when an operator is already
investigating the crash and has every reason to blame that instead.

## The ratchet, generalised

#2944 ratcheted this class inside `self-healing.ts` after review found
one instance and a follow-up audit found five more. This generalises it
to every engine source: a function that resolves lanes **and** compares
a column id in the same body is a pair.

Excluded, deliberately:
- the **fallback arm** of a resolved ternary (`lanes ? lanes.has(c) : c
=== "done"`) — the correct shape;
- four files whose literals are deliberate, each with the reason
recorded: `ephemeral-worker-manager` (unresolvable-workflow default),
`triage` (the U11 orphan case), `scheduler` and `replan-target` (sync
listeners on the inert sync IR reader, already pinned by
`sync-workflow-ir-is-always-default.pg.test.ts`);
- `self-healing.ts`, because it has a **dedicated** ratchet that is
strictly more precise. Two ratchets allowlisting the same site is one
fact with two owners, free to drift — the exact failure mode this
program keeps hitting. One file, one ratchet.

It carries a positive control: a wrong source path would make every case
pass by scanning nothing.

**I swept the rest of the engine with it and executor.ts was the only
genuine hit** — everything else is documented-deliberate or blocked on
the inert sync reader.

## Revert results

Each measured by restoring the literal filter and re-running:

| | reverted → |
| --- | --- |
| behavioural case | fails — the renamed card is dropped and the sweep
returns before touching it |
| the ratchet | fails, naming the site: `resumeOrphaned:
executor.ts:5974` |

A non-vacuous companion (card in the review lane → not resumed) rules
out a filter that matches everything: a card in review has no session to
resume, and re-dispatching it would restart finished work.

**Measured:** `executor.ts` column guards 8 → 7; baseline re-recorded
downward.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71; executor prompt/soft-delete/resume
suites plus the new ratchet, 357 passed; `tsc` engine clean; `pnpm
lint`, `check:changesets`, census `--strict` and
`check-sql-column-literals` clean, each run explicitly.

8503a2b12f batch-census-sentinels: six sentinel-marker PRs in one (supersedes #2921 #2928 #2931 #2935 #2938 +1) (#2943)
Fifth family, not in the four you listed — it was about to sit while the
others consolidated. **Six folded; two need arbitration.**

## Folded (cherry-picked clean)

migration marker · async archived check · audited-sentinel missing its
marker · five of six `archived` checks in one file · the two
artifact/comment read-only guards · the last unmarked
`getLiveTaskColumn` sentinel.

One root cause, which is why they belong together: **a literal compared
against a SENTINEL value is not a lifecycle-lane guard** — the census
counts it, and the fix is a marker, not a conversion.

## The baseline conflicted on every cherry-pick

All six re-recorded `lifecycle-column-census-baseline.json`
independently. I resolved by **regenerating once from the folded tree**
rather than merging six hand-edits: the baseline is a derived artifact,
so the measured value is the only correct resolution, and hand-merging
derived JSON is how a wrong ceiling gets locked in.

That is the strongest case for the family model I can give you: six PRs
touching one derived file conflict pairwise regardless of merge order —
15 possible pairs — and auto-rebase would have churned them serially.

## NOT folded — one line for arbitration

**#2925 (`live-task-column-lanes`) conflicts with #2923
(`fix/task-id-integrity-sentinel`) on
`packages/core/src/task-store/task-id-integrity.ts`.** #2923 marks a
sentinel there; #2925 converts lanes. Different intents, same file. I
did not guess which wins — land one, rebase the other, fold both after.

## Verification

`--strict` exit 0 · backlog **158**, reviewed **122** · core typecheck
clean · scoped, not full suite.

## Queue

**52 → 39** after my two folds (this + #2940 portal). The ~24
"self-healing … on a renamed board" family is still the dominant block.

8b75a42d22 batch: self-healing sweeps were blind on renamed boards (26 sweeps, folds 23 PRs) (#2944)
**Consolidation of 23 open PRs into one.** Every one shared a single
root cause and mostly touched a single file; 23 CI runs for that was
indefensible.

Folds and supersedes: #2867 #2869 #2876 #2879 #2883 #2891 #2899 #2901
#2902 #2905 #2906 #2914 #2916 #2918 #2919 #2920 #2922 #2927 #2929 #2932
#2934 #2937 #2939.
(#2865, #2882, #2897, #2909, #2912 already merged and are not
re-folded.)

## The root cause

A self-healing sweep selects its work with `listTasks({ column:
"in-review" })`. On a board whose lanes are renamed that returns
**nothing**, so the sweep never runs — no error, no log line, no failed
task. Several sweeps had already had their *predicates* converted to
resolved lanes, which dropped a census count and changed nothing,
because the query above the loop had already returned an empty list.

**26 sweeps converted.** Each one: read the project's columns for the
role, then decide each card against **its own** workflow, with the
legacy ids unioned so a board mid-rename is never skipped.

## What each sweep stops silently failing to do

| | |
| --- | --- |
| stale merger status | one finished card held the **merge queue** for
everything behind it |
| stale `blockedBy` / completed-task release | dependents stayed blocked
on work that had already finished — the board stops moving |
| workspace partial lands | a task left with **some repos merged and
some not** |
| mid-merge retry stamp | the card stalled *and* the operator's manual
Retry was gated by the same stamp |
| in-progress limbo / no-progress failures | dead cards held a work slot
forever |
| partial-progress retry | real work parked failed with its **retry
budget unspent** |
| orphaned-execution signal | visibility only — the one signal pointing
at an orphan went silent |
| zero-commit audit | went **half-blind**: the error arm kept working,
the lane arm did not |

Plus: ghost review cards, transient merge failures, misclassified
failures, branch misbinding, missing-worktree failures,
merged-but-unfinished finalization, done-metadata repair, self-owned
branch conflicts, orphan-only scope violations, post-done wedges, idle
assigned agents, PR-conflict worktree ownership, and orphaned workspace
worktrees.

## Two defects the conversion itself introduced, both caught and fixed

1. **Missed pairs.** Widening a read without converting the guards
beneath it is *worse than not converting*: the sweep starts admitting
renamed-board cards and then mis-decides every one. Review caught a
second guard on a re-read row; the audit that triggered found **five
more**, one of which gates the `reviewProof` triple-proof — a renamed
review card would have been moved backward with the safety check
silently skipped. Column guards 86 → 81.
2. **Duplicate processing.** The literal reads were disjoint by
construction; resolved reads are not, so a column carrying two role
flags put one card in two buckets — duplicate moves, duplicate audit
rows, inflated counts.

Both now have ratchets.
`self-healing-converted-sweeps-have-no-literal-lane-guards.test.ts`
**derives** its sweep list (a sweep counts as converted when its body
calls `resolveProjectColumnsForRoles`), so it cannot go stale, and it
carries two positive controls because a broken regex finds no offenders
and a broken derivation iterates nothing — an empty loop registers no
tests and reads green.

## Deliberately unchanged

- 22 `moveTask` destinations carrying `recoveryRehome: true` —
`moves.ts` exempts these so a card stranded in an undeclared column
stays rescuable.
- One literal in `clearStaleBlockedBy`'s log-dedup closure (allowed by
name in the ratchet, with the reason).
- `surfaceInReviewStalls` — hot list-read path, needs a batched
prefetch; that is a performance design decision, not a conversion.
- `scheduler.ts` and `replan-target.ts` — built on
`resolveTaskWorkflowIrSync`, which returns the default IR for every task
in production. Converting there produces inert code.

## The fold itself is worth one note

All 23 branches appended to the **same test file at the same anchor**,
so every automatic strategy — git 3-way, `merge-file --union`, and three
hand-written resolvers — interleaved them mid-block. Two attempts
committed conflict markers before I caught it. The file is therefore
**reconstructed**: head authored once, body assembled as the union of
each branch's own intact top-level segments keyed by test title, with
the nested `already-merged hard blocker` describe appended whole
(flattening it orphaned its helper). Verified by *parsing after every
step* rather than trusting the merge — which is how each interleaving
was caught.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71. Scoped suites 592 passed
(self-healing, the blindness suite at 68 cases, the ratchet, and the
notification suite). `tsc` engine clean; `pnpm lint`,
`check:changesets`, `lifecycle-column-census --strict` and
`check-sql-column-literals` all clean, each run explicitly.

Each folded conversion was individually revert-proven on its original
branch — the read reverted alone, and the per-card verdict reverted
alone — and those measurements are recorded in the commit messages
carried into this branch.

7b68f20501 batch(docs): fold the three workflow-learnings / annotation PRs into one (#2942)
## Family batch — replaces #2926, #2892, #2887

Per the consolidation directive: the u9/e2e **docs family**, folded into
one branch and one CI run. Three PRs, five commits, **five files,
comment and markdown only**.

| folded PR | commits |
|---|---|
| #2892 `docs/union-vs-per-task` | the project union and the per-task
answer are not ranked; date correction |
| #2926 `docs/date-my-measured-claims` | date the measured claims (one
was wrong); date the grep-vs-AST measurement in the SQL gate header |
| #2887 `docs/archived-state-literals` | mark the three archived STATE
literals as deliberate |

Cherry-picked in original order with authorship preserved; all five
applied clean, no conflicts.

## Scope is provably comment-only

```
docs/solutions/workflow-learnings/lifecycle-conversions-that-score-as-wins.md
docs/solutions/workflow-learnings/project-union-versus-per-task-lanes.md
packages/core/src/task-store/async-maintenance.ts        ← FNXC DELIBERATE-LITERAL annotation
packages/core/src/task-store/workflow-definitions.ts     ← FNXC DELIBERATE-LITERAL annotation
scripts/check-sql-column-literals.mjs                    ← header prose only
```

Every added line in `packages/` and `scripts/` is inside a comment —
checked by filtering the diff for declarations, conditionals and
returns, which returns nothing. The two core files gain
`DELIBERATE-LITERAL` markers explaining that `'archived'` is a **state**
marker there, not a lane: the sweep collects rows Fusion itself archived
or soft-deleted, so widening to the resolved archived set would pull
live cards into a cleanup pass.

## Verification (scoped, per the directive — not the full suite)

- `pnpm lint` — clean
- `check-sql-column-literals` — exit 0 (the file it annotates)
- `check:lifecycle-columns` — exit 0 (the markers it adds are
census-visible)
- `sync-workflow-ir-callsite-allowlist.test.ts` — 3/3

## A correction worth recording

Mid-fold I saw a changeset, `self-healing.ts` and a test file in `git
diff origin/main..HEAD` and nearly reported the batch as impure. They
were **main's own commits** — `origin/main` advanced between branch
creation and the diff, so the comparison was against a stale base.
Rebasing onto current `main` reduced it to the five files above. Worth
flagging for anyone else folding a family today: with `main` moving this
fast, diff the branch **after** rebasing or the file list will lie to
you.

## Closing the originals

#2926, #2892 and #2887 are superseded by this and are being closed. I
hold no PRs of my own in this family — all mine merged — so this fold is
on behalf of the family rather than a rollup of my own work.

b4ed12e9c8 batch-u7-lane-fixes: three core/engine renamed-board fixes folded (was #2925, #2930, #2936) (#2925)
**Consolidated per the queue freeze.** Three single-fix PRs of mine
folded into this one branch; #2930 and #2936 are closed as superseded.
Net effect on the queue: **3 → 1**.

All three are the same root cause — a lifecycle lane compared against a
legacy id — and all three carry a measured revert proof. Verified scoped
(not full suite) on the folded branch: `tsc --noEmit` clean, `pnpm lint`
clean, SQL-literal gate green, census `--strict` green, and 61 tests
across five suites plus the guard at 9/9.

---

### 1. `getLiveTaskColumn` produced the archived sentinel from a literal
(was #2925)

`getLiveTaskColumn` **manufactures** the string `"archived"` that a
dozen comparisons across five files trust — and it tested `row.column
=== "archived"`. A live row in a renamed archived lane read as **live**,
so the gates hiding an archived card's artifacts and document listings
never closed.

Fixing those twelve comparisons individually would have been wrong twice
over: **they are sentinels, and the defect was in the producer.** One
line, once, and all twelve become correct. `resolveArchivedLanes` moved
to `project-lane-vocabulary.ts` — three private copies of one fact is
how the "write guard says yes, publication guard says no" disagreement
happens at scale.

*Revert proof (real PostgreSQL):* restore the literal → `expected [ {
…(14) } ] to deeply equal []`.

**Caught myself shipping the unwired shape here:** I added the parameter
to seven functions and wired none of their impl callers — the exact
inert-conversion defect this program exists to remove. The failing test
is the only reason I noticed.

### 2. Mission delivery repair refused a completed card (was #2930)

`getTerminalTaskEvidence` tested only `column === "done"`, so a
completed card on a renamed board classified as `nonterminal` and
`reconcileFeatureDoneWithTerminalTask` threw `TASK_NOT_TERMINAL: … not
shipped`. Valid operator work refused — with the message naming the real
column while the check couldn't see it.

The **type** blocked the fix from the far end: `TerminalTaskEvidence`
pinned `column: "done"` / `"archived"`, so the resolver couldn't report
the real column without a compile error. `kind` already carries the
role, so `column` is free to carry the truth.

*Revert proof (real PostgreSQL):* restore the literal →
`TerminalTaskReconciliationError: … not shipped`.

I had deferred this twice on the premise that `AsyncMissionStore` "holds
a layer, not a store". It holds an **optional `taskStore`**, and the
single production construction site supplies it.

### 3. The unwired-lane guard reported two FALSE entries (was #2936)

`unwired-lane-parameter-guard.test.ts` has been **red on main** since
#2875, flagging two `InReviewDurationLanes` properties as unwired when
the impl demonstrably supplies both. Cause: my own owner-scoping rule
requires a mention from a file naming the declaring symbol — correct for
a function, structurally impossible for an interface passed as an
inferred object literal.

Fixed at the caller (name the type) after trying the tool three ways:
relaxing type-owned properties hid **12** genuine entries; resolving
owners to consuming functions hid **6**. Each refinement traded the
false positive for false negatives — the sign a co-occurrence heuristic
has hit its limit. Recording two *wired* parameters in `KNOWN_UNWIRED`
was rejected: that puts non-debt in the debt list, which is how a
ratchet starts lying.

Guard back to **9/9**, baseline unchanged at 17. **This un-reds main.**

c6767cb258 self-healing: foreign-only contamination never cleared on a renamed board (fourteenth sweep) (#2891)
`recoverForeignOnlyContaminatedInReviewTasks` classifies a branch
carrying **only foreign commits** and clears the contamination park that
nothing else clears. Two literal reads meant that on a renamed board it
classified nothing, and the task stayed parked indefinitely.

## The two redundant guards were the interesting part

Both filters carried a `task.column === …` check that was **redundant**
while the query pinned the column. Under a resolved read they stop being
redundant and become the per-card verdict — so they convert here rather
than being deleted. Deleting them would have silently widened the sweep,
which is the failure this whole class is about.

## Dedupe matters more here than elsewhere

The concatenated candidate list is deduped (the P1 reviewed on #2879).
It bites harder in this sweep because the two filters have **different
predicates**: a column carrying both a review role and the wip role
could satisfy both and classify one branch twice.

Explicit `has` guard rather than `new Map(entries)` — that constructor
keeps first insertion *order* but the **last** value for a repeated key,
so it reads as first-bucket precedence while doing the opposite.
(Corrected in #2879 and #2883 for the same reason.)

## Revert results

Each applied alone and the file re-run:

| conversion | reverted → |
| --- | --- |
| the resolved reads | fails — the card is never listed, so the
classifier is never called |
| the review verdict | fails — the renamed review lane does not match
and the card is filtered out |

Observable is **candidacy**: `classifyForeignOnlyContamination` runs
once per accepted card and not at all for a rejected one, which is
exactly the read-plus-verdict under test. It is a static named import,
so it is intercepted with a scoped `vi.mock` (spyOn cannot rebind an
already-resolved ESM binding); only that one export is overridden, so
the sweeps in this file that use `inspectBranchConflict` are unaffected.

A non-vacuous companion (same card in the board's hold lane → never
classified) rules out a read that returns everything.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71, plus `self-healing.test.ts` 412;
`tsc` engine clean; `pnpm lint`, `check:changesets`, census `--strict`
clean, each run explicitly.

1dc839743e census: tell the reader where a DELIBERATE-LITERAL marker has to go (#2909)
A `DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker in the wrong **position** is
indistinguishable from no marker, and the miss is silent until CI.

**Measured on #2883:** the marker sat inline in the middle of a
conditional expression, so it attached to the wrong AST node and three
reviewed literals scored as new debt (`self-healing.ts` 86 → 89). The
message the tool printed at the time said *"record why at the site with
a `DELIBERATE-LITERAL` marker"* — which I had done. Nothing in the
output suggested placement was the problem.

Two lines added to the failure message:

- Markers are read from a node's **leading** comments, so put one on the
declaration and hoist the literal into a named helper if needed.
- **`pnpm lint` does not run this census** — CI's Lint job does. That is
why the usual "lint passed locally, push" loop cannot catch either
mistake, and why the tool itself is the only place a reader sees this in
time.

## Verified, not assumed

I induced a real failure (a temporary `t.column === "in-review"` guard
in `self-healing.ts`) and read the printed output rather than trusting
that the string lands in the right branch — the message has two branches
and only one is the guard-count-rose path:

```
  packages/engine/src/self-healing.ts: 89 -> 90

Resolve a lifecycle column from the task's own workflow (…)
correct, record why at the site with a DELIBERATE-LITERAL marker.

Put the DELIBERATE-LITERAL marker in the DECLARATION's leading comments, not inline in an
expression: markers are read from a node's leading comments, so a mid-expression one attaches to
the wrong node and is silently ignored. Hoist the literal into a named helper if you need to.
Note that `pnpm lint` does NOT run this census — run it explicitly before pushing.
```

Guidance only — no scanner behaviour changes, so no counts move.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` 161 + 487 + 13 + 71; `pnpm lint` and census `--strict`
clean.

60bfebdc98 fix(reliability): the duration query hid its lane ids inside a SQL template (#2875)
The Reliability panel's **third and last** blind input — and my own
loose end. #2861 fixed the two counts beside it, so the panel went from
uniformly wrong to **partially** wrong: entries and bounces populated,
duration reporting `no-in-review-entries` forever. Partial blindness is
harder to notice than total, which is why finishing it matters more than
one site suggests.

```sql
metadata->>'to' = 'in-review'
  OR (metadata->>'from' = 'in-review' AND metadata->>'to' = 'done')
```

## The class, not just the site

**This shape is invisible to every check we have.** The lifecycle census
scans `===`/`!==` comparisons; the unwired-lane-parameter guard scans
declarations. Neither sees a lane id inside a `sql` template, so this
class is **not in the backlog total at all** — the number is a floor for
this reason as well as the usual one.

`scripts/check-sql-column-literals.mjs` (#2841, in flight) is the
detector for exactly this: it freezes the surface at 30 sites rather
than converting any, so this one was unowned. That PR and this one are
complementary — it stops the surface growing, this shrinks it by one.

## The fix

Lanes resolve **once per call** via `resolveProjectColumnsForRoles` and
arrive as parameterised equality fragments, one branch per id — no
interpolated list, no string building.

Resolution lives in `getInReviewDurationEventsImpl` because that is
where the store is; `async-audit.ts` takes a bare `db` handle and cannot
resolve anything. Best-effort, defaulting to the legacy pair, so a
caller that cannot resolve keeps exactly today's query.

**The union is correct rather than a widening hack**, for the same
reason as #2861: these are *move records*, and a past move recorded the
column name as it was at the time. A board renamed last month has rows
under both ids, so the honest query covers both — which is precisely
what `resolveProjectColumnsForRoles` returns.

## Tested against real PostgreSQL, deliberately

This is a **SQL predicate** change. A mocked store would assert the
arguments and prove nothing about the query that actually runs — which
is the entire risk when the literal lives inside `sql`. The new case
inserts real `activity_log` rows on a renamed board and reads them back
through the real store method.

The legacy-lane case in the same file stays green, which is the
compatibility half.

**Revert proof, measured:** restore the hardcoded fragments and the new
case fails with

```
expected [] to deeply equal [ 'renamed-entered', 'renamed-done' ]
```

## Verification

- `pnpm test:gate` — 161 / 487 / 13 / 71 passed
- `pnpm lint` — clean
- `tsc --noEmit` (`@fusion/core`) — clean
- `activity-log-parity.pg.test.ts` — 5 passed against real PostgreSQL

With this, all three Reliability inputs read the board's own lanes.

10f9df1600 fix(overseer): the whole oversight loop was inert on a renamed board (#2898)
`resolveWatchedStage` keyed on the literals `in-progress`/`in-review`,
so on a board that renames either it returned `null` for **every** card.

That is three literals with an outsized blast radius. `observeTask`
returns early on a null stage, so:

- no `OverseerStageObservation` is recorded,
- no `overseer:intervention` entry is emitted,
- and `PlannerRecoveryController`, which consumes those observations,
has nothing to steer, retry or targeted-fix.

**The entire oversight loop was inert and silent about it** — the same
shape as the self-healing sweeps whose queries returned empty arrays.

## I deferred this myself, on a cost argument that was wrong

The audit note I wrote for this site said resolving inside `observeTask`
"buys a workflow read per card per poll". Then I read the caller: the
poll **already awaits `resolveEffectiveSettings` per task**. It is a
per-task async loop regardless, so with an IR cache keyed by workflow
the addition is *(distinct workflows)* resolutions, not *(cards)*.

Pricing the fix before checking the caller cost a deferral. Worth
recording, because "this needs a cost judgement" is the most comfortable
place in this program to leave something.

## The review test is the three-trait union, deliberately

`isReviewColumnRole` checks only `mergeBlocker || humanReview`. A board
whose review lane carries `merge` (**mergeOrchestration**) — the
built-in default's own shape — would classify as *not in review* and be
skipped.

Reaching for the obvious helper would have reintroduced the bug this
change removes, through the helper meant to fix it. There is a case
asserting exactly that.

## Wiring

Both call sites, because either alone leaves a hole:

| site | why it matters |
|---|---|
| the poll (`project-engine.ts`) | per-poll IR cache — a workflow edit
is picked up next tick rather than served stale |
| the manual nudge | otherwise a renamed board answers `no-active-stage`
to an operator pressing the button |

`columnFlags` is in the `unwired-lane-parameter` vocabulary, so the
wiring cannot silently rot — the guard reports it if a future change
drops the argument.

Fail-soft throughout: an unresolvable workflow yields `undefined` and
the callee falls back to the legacy ids, which is exactly today's
behaviour. A v1 IR declares no columns, so it takes the same path.

## Revert proof (measured)

Drop the `columnFlags` branch and **exactly the three renamed-lane cases
fail**:

```
expected null to be "executor"
expected null to be "merger"   (mergeOrchestration lane)
expected null to be "merger"   (humanReview lane)
```

The legacy-id and neither-role cases stay green — the gate must still
gate, and watching every column would be its own defect.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:gate` — 161 / 487 / 13 / 71 passed
- `pnpm lint` — clean
- `tsc --noEmit` (`@fusion/engine`) — clean
- `planner-overseer.test.ts` +
`planner-recovery-controller-human-control.test.ts` — 64 passed
- unwired-lane guard — 9/9, no new entries

Carries the one-line SQL-baseline re-record (`team-analytics.ts: 6 → 3`)
that #2864 left behind, same as my other open branches — main is red on
it, and identical changes to that line merge without conflict.

defe48d30f fix(core): per-workflow metrics read zero on a renamed board (#2866)
Second of the 14 lane-bound SQL sites from #2839, after #2864.
Independent of it — different file, different caller argument.

## The defect

`aggregateWorkflowAnalytics` filtered in SQL on `t."column" = 'done'`
and `IN ('in-progress','in-review')`. On a renamed board those match
nothing, so `tasksCompleted`, `tasksInProgress` and `tasksInReview` come
back **zero for every workflow** while the board is busy. Nothing
errors.

Same shape and same fix as #2864: resolve per **project** via
`resolveProjectColumnsForRoles`, bind an `IN` list, and thread the store
from the single Command Center caller so the parameter has a supplier
immediately rather than becoming an inert seam.

## What the test caught that I had not

**The renamed case still failed with the query fixed.**

The bucketing at lines 296–297 already uses `isWipColumnRole` /
`isReviewColumnRole` — correctly converted — but those read
`query.columnFlagsByName`, which production supplies and my fixture did
not. So:

- the **SQL** decides *which rows come back*;
- the **trait map** decides *which bucket each row lands in*.

Both halves have to be right. Fixing only the query would have shipped a
"conversion" that still reported zero on a renamed board, and the file
would have scored as converted twice over. That is exactly the
partial-conversion shape this program keeps re-finding — caught here
only because the test asserts `tasksInReview` alongside
`tasksCompleted`, since those two paths take **different** resolved sets
(complete vs wip+human-review). Asserting the completed count alone
would have left the second conversion unproven.

## Measured

Reverted, only the renamed case flips:

```
✓ default vocabulary: completed and in-review work are counted
× renamed vocabulary: completed and in-review work are counted
✓ renamed vocabulary: a card in the HOLD lane counts as neither
✓ without a lane store, the legacy ids still answer
  Tests  1 failed | 3 passed (4)
```

The hold-lane negative is there so resolving real lanes cannot degrade
into "every column counts" — trading an undercount for an overcount is
harder to notice than the original bug.

## Scope

The sync SQLite arm in the same file keeps its literals: it throws in
backend mode and has no production caller, the same dead-arm conclusion
reached for `cleanupStaleMergeQueueRowsImpl` on #2839.

## Verification

`pnpm test:gate` green · both Command Center analytics suites 8/8 ·
`tsc` core 0, dashboard 0 · lint 0 · changeset included.

c143327d4b fix(core): the archived-document guards failed in OPPOSITE directions on a renamed lane (#2886)
Two of the four convertible sites my own learnings doc **miscounted as
sentinels** — the #2877 review corrected "8 of 9 must not be converted"
to "5 of 9", and these are two of the three that correction freed.

They read `task.column` straight off a row `select`, so they are board
lanes by exactly the test that document gives, and a renamed archived
column is simply not seen. What makes the pair worth fixing together is
that they fail in **opposite directions**:

| guard | on a renamed archived lane | consequence |
|---|---|---|
| `upsertTaskDocument` | fails to **reject** | an archived card's
documents stay **writable** — the read-only contract silently does not
hold |
| `publishArchivedTaskDocumentAddition` | fails to **accept** | a
legitimate archived-document publication is refused as
`parent-not-archived` |

The second is the sharper one: valid operator work refused, and refused
with a message that reads as a data-integrity error rather than a
lifecycle mismatch.

## Shape

Both take an `AsyncDataLayer` and can resolve nothing themselves; their
store-level impls hold the store, so the lane set arrives as a parameter
resolved once per call — the shape #2875 used for the SQL predicate.

**One shared `resolveArchivedLanes` for both paths**, deliberately: if
the write guard and the publication guard could disagree about whether a
card is archived, a card ends up both read-only *and* un-publishable.

## The revert proof caught my own fixture first

My first version set `deletedAt` alongside the renamed column, and **the
revert proof passed with the fix removed**. Both guards are
`column-is-archived || deletedAt != null`, so a soft-deleted fixture
short-circuits the exact comparison under test — the assertion was
holding for an unrelated reason.

Dropping `deletedAt` isolates it, and is also the *real* shape: a live
row in a workflow-declared archived lane is what a renamed board
produces, and what `getLiveTaskColumn` was written to catch.

Revert proof, measured honestly the second time: restore `task.column
=== "archived"` and the renamed-lane case fails — the upsert resolves
instead of rejecting.

## Real PostgreSQL, deliberately

These are row predicates inside a transaction. A mocked store would
assert the arguments and prove nothing about the comparison that runs —
the same reasoning as #2875.

Three cases: the renamed lane rejects, the **legacy** `archived` id
still rejects (most boards never rename anything), and a live card is
still allowed through (a guard that rejects everything is its own bug).

## Verification

- `pnpm test:gate` — 161 / 487 / 13 / 71 passed
- `pnpm lint` — clean
- `tsc --noEmit` (`@fusion/core`) — clean
- new `archived-document-lanes.pg.test.ts` + existing
`artifacts-documents-evals.pg.test.ts` — 12 passed against real
PostgreSQL

Note: the SQL-literal baseline is untouched here — #2881 owns
re-recording it after #2864's conversion left main's gate red.

63e1f81244 fix(gate): a dropped SQL-literal count tightens the baseline instead of failing the gate (#2888)
## Why

`check-sql-column-literals` runs inside `pnpm test:gate` — the
**blocking** lane. It hard-fails when a count *drops*, so a single
converting PR that doesn't re-record takes down the gate for **every
worker in the program** until someone fixes the baseline by hand.

That is not hypothetical. It is happening on `main` right now
(`team-analytics.ts` 6 → 3, fixed by #2880), and it is the **second**
instance of the shape — the lifecycle census hit it from a merge wave
that dropped eleven files at once.

## The census already resolved this exact trade-off

From `docs/testing.md`, on why the census stopped hard-failing on a
drop:

> "the drop is almost never the failing author's to fix ... A
permanently-red gate is a bigger hole than a stale allowance, because it
gets ignored and then nothing is guarded at all."

That reasoning applies here **with more force**, because the census is
*not* in the blocking lane and this check *is*. Same failure mode,
higher cost, opposite policy — this aligns them.

## What changes

A drop now rewrites the baseline downward, reports what it lowered, and
exits 0:

```
[check-sql-column-literals] baseline TIGHTENED — fewer literals than it allowed

  packages/core/src/team-analytics.ts: allowed 6, now 3

The baseline has been rewritten downward. COMMIT IT so the allowance cannot be regrown into;
in CI this write is discarded with the runner, which is why the gate is green and not silent.
```

**The rise check is untouched.** "No new SQL column literals" is the
ratchet's actual purpose and still fails hard.

The stale-allowance concern the old comment raised is real and is
preserved: the rewritten file must be committed, and in CI the write is
discarded with the runner — so the gate goes green rather than silently
passing a stale allowance, exactly as the census does.

## Verified in both directions

| scenario | result |
|---|---|
| drop (`team-analytics.ts` 6 → 3, the live case) | **tightens, exit 0**
|
| rise (a literal added to a zero-allowance file) | **fails, exit 1** —
`task-age-staleness.ts: 1 SQL column literal(s), baseline allows 0` |

The rise probe needed a zero-allowance file: adding one literal to
`team-analytics.ts` keeps it at 4 against an allowance of 6, which is
correctly *not* a rise. Worth noting because it is an easy way to
conclude the guard is dead when it is working.

## Relationship to #2880

#2880 fixes the **instance** — it re-records the current drift so the
gate goes green now. This fixes the **class**, so the next conversion
doesn't take the gate down again. They are independent and either can
land first; if #2880 lands first, this becomes a no-op on a matching
baseline.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:gate` — exit 0 with this change applied
- `pnpm lint` — clean

No changeset: gate tooling, not published behaviour.
