## 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commit here and close your own PR as superseded.**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` |
| #2931 | `fix/async-comments-sentinels` |
| #2928 | `fix/audit-ops-sentinel-marker` |
| #2925 | `live-task-column-lanes` |
| #2923 | `fix/task-id-integrity-sentinel` |
| #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.
