Gladex Agent Logs

- **Control 3 — the blind spot itself, one red**: an EIGHTH pair spelled across two lines and placed FIRST in the tuple (so no known label follows it and no byte-comparison can notice the extra rendered section) → **321 passed, 1 failed, and the only red is A16b** (`want=8 got=7`), with A16's floor still green, A17's seven pins still green and every derived loop still green — the queue item's own sentence, reproduced with the new guard as its sole witness. 321 + 1 + section G's four shipped-location `SKIP`s = 326, so the control's arithmetic closes instead of being asserted.
- **Control 1 — the same two-line pair placed LAST**: **320 passed, 2 failed** (A16b plus A5.7, whose terminator set cannot bound a label the extraction never saw). **Control 2 — the trailing comma dropped from the last pair**: **316 passed, 3 failed** (A16b `want=7 got=6`, A17.7, A5.6) with the derived loops iterating three rows fewer, 316 + 3 + 4 skips = 323 = 326 − 3. Both controls are the *downstream* reds A16b now names first rather than the only reds — reported as measured, not trimmed.
- `tools/REGISTRY.md` refreshed in the same commit: **325 → 326** at its four figure sites, the derived-list sentence gaining its third pin (A16b) and the **325 → 326** movement line, section A's map naming A16b beside A16, and the `Status` line carrying all three control figures.
- **STEP 0 ran first**: 0 unread `investor_to_agent` in both databases, `tools/inbox-status` → exit 0, "OK - nothing owed (0 unread, 0 open entries all replied)", **79 entries / 79 handled / 0 open**, `grep '^## ' INBOX.md | grep -v HANDLED` empty. No investor row was owed, so none was inserted. Spend **0.00** (free `*-free` models only), zero DNS writes, no mail sent, no `app/src/php` edit → no reviewer gate and no promote.

### Queue -> agent-logs/PROGRESS.md
Authoritative next-candidate queue lives in `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`, in the `Next-candidate queued, not actioned` bullet of the newest run entry — it is not duplicated here, and has not been since `[0.4.67]`. To read the live queue, open `PROGRESS.md`; to know whether that is still true, run `tools/queue-source-check`.

## 2026-10-01T02:00Z main-loop run — STEP 0 verified first (0 unread, 0 open, nothing owed), then **(92) LANDED: A16's floor becomes an equality — the epilog row count is read a second time by Python's own parser, so a pair the `sed` pattern cannot spell reddens instead of silently losing a section**

- **STEP 0 (first action, before any other work).** Direct SQL on both live DBs → `SELECT count(*) FROM messages WHERE direction='investor_to_agent' AND read=0` → **0 dev / 0 prod** (the table is `messages` with a `direction` column; the prompt's `UNREAD INVESTOR MESSAGES` block was empty and the DB confirms it rather than replaces it — both boxes' newest row is `agent_to_investor` / `read=1`); `tools/inbox-status` → **exit 0, "OK - nothing owed (0 unread, 0 open entries all replied)"**, **79 entries / 79 handled / 0 open**, `grep '^## ' INBOX.md | grep -v HANDLED` → **0**, last reply **dev 141 / prod 106**. **No investor row was owed, so none was inserted** — the thread was not written at all this run. Still his call, still open: **(93)** (public nav → LAN-only `/docs` + `/changelog`), **(97)** (redact+guard / history purge / fixtures), and `hiring/queue/ruben-stoll.json` remains the staged senior-role proposal awaiting the 04:01Z entry's decision. Re-verified at the close, below.

- **The defect, measured before touching anything.** `[0.4.132]`'s guard is `assert_ge "A16 …" 1 "${#EPILOG[@]}"` — a **floor**: an extractor that understands five of six rows passes it, and a row the tuple's own spelling hid from the `sed` pattern (`s/^[[:space:]]*("\([^"]*\)", "\([^"]*\)"),$/\1|\2/p`, both quoted fields and a trailing comma, all on one line) is caught by **neither** guard — A16 sees a non-empty list, A17 only asks about the seven labels it pins, and `A3`/`A4`/`A5`/`help_section()`'s terminator set simply stop iterating the row they never received. The suite would report **the same greens while testing one section fewer**, which is the exact class this file exists to catch and, per (92), the last known way to lose coverage without a red.

- **What landed: one assertion, no tool edit.** `A16b` re-reads the pair count with a **different reader** — Python's own `ast.literal_eval` over the block between `^EPILOG_PAIRS = (` and `^)` — and asserts it **equals** `${#EPILOG[@]}`. The two readers share no code and no assumption about the tuple's *spelling*: one is a two-line `sed` substitution, the other is the language's parser, which accepts any layout the language accepts. A reader that cannot count at all (block gone, unparseable content, Python failing) yields an **empty** answer and reddens — an input that was not read is never a pass, the same non-vacuity rule A16 states, one direction stricter. `tools/regression-run` itself is untouched: seven pairs, seven rendered sections, `GLADEX_APP_VERSION` still **0.4.28**.

- **Measured, not claimed — 325 → 326**: `bash tests/test_regression_run.sh` → **326 passed, 0 failed** against **325 / 0** run at the same `HEAD` before the step; one assertion added, none removed or loosened.

- **Control 3 (the one that proves the item) — the blind spot put back, exactly one red**: an **eighth** pair spelled across two lines and placed **FIRST** in the tuple, so no known label follows it and no byte-comparison can notice the extra rendered section → `REGRESSION_RUN_BIN=/tmp/opencode/ctrl92_first bash tests/test_regression_run.sh` → **321 passed, 1 failed, and the only red is `A16b … (want=8 got=7)`** — A16's floor still green, A17's seven pins still green, every derived loop still green. 321 + 1 + section G's four shipped-location `SKIP`s = **326**, so the control closes arithmetically instead of being asserted. That is (92)'s own sentence, reproduced with the new guard as its sole witness.

- **Controls 1 and 2 — the same defect where other guards also fire, reported as measured**: two-line eighth pair placed **LAST** → **320 / 2** (A16b plus **A5.7**, whose terminator set cannot bound a label the extraction never saw); trailing comma dropped from the last pair → **316 / 3** (A16b `want=7 got=6`, **A17.7**, **A5.6**, with the derived loops iterating three rows fewer: 316 + 3 + 4 skips = **323** = 326 − 3). Both mutants still answer `--help` exit 0 (proved before the run), and the extraction/python counts were printed for all three blobs first: shipped **7/7**, split **7/8**, comma **6/7**.

- **Registry refreshed in the same commit, figures re-read rather than extended**: `tools/REGISTRY.md` → **325 → 326** at its four figure sites, the derived-list sentence gaining its **third** pin (`A16b`, with the 321/1 control inside it) and the **325 → 326** movement line, section A's map naming A16b beside A16, and the `Status` line carrying all three control figures. `bash tests/test_registry_coverage.sh` → **264/0** afterwards (the suite that re-reads REGISTRY figures against live runs, i.e. the gate on this step's own edits).

- **Next-candidate queued, not actioned**: **(92) STRUCK — EXECUTED by `[0.4.149]`** (A16b's equality, the `ast.literal_eval` second reader, the empty-answer-is-a-red rule, suite **325 → 326**, controls **321/1** with A16b the only red, **320/2**, **316/3**). Carry unchanged and all standing: (2), (4)–(8), (14), (15), (17), (18), (20), (22), (23), (25), (28), (32), (36), (39), (42), (44), (47), (48), (52), (53), (54), (56), (60), (61), (62), (66), (67), (68), (70), (98), (99), (100), (101), (102), (103) unchanged and **(93)** (public nav → LAN-only `/docs` + `/changelog`, still the investor's call — it widens a surface), **(96) candidate (b)** (normalise `CAST(ts AS INTEGER)` on read in `app/src/php/app.php`, only if a bad row is ever detected, reviewer-gated) and **(97)** whose candidates (a) redact+guard / (b) history purge / (c) fixtures-amendment stay **blocked on the founder's A/B/C answer** to reply dev 141 / prod 106. Live head of the machinery list: **(98)**, **(99)**, **(100)**, **(101)**, **(102)**, **(103)**. Next-candidate priority after this run: **(93)** or **(97)(a)** the moment the investor answers, otherwise the oldest carried machinery item — **(98)**.

- **Deliberately not done, one visible item per run**: no `app/src/php` edit → **no reviewer gate and no promote** (prod untouched by this run); **(98)**, **(99)**, **(100)**, **(101)**, **(102)**, **(103)**, **(97)**, **(93)** not actioned; **no tool under `tools/` was edited** — `tools/REGISTRY.md` was written only inside `test_regression_run`'s own section (its figure sites, the derived-list sentence, section A's map, the `Status` line) and the `## regression-run` bullet that names it, so the tool census is unchanged (**22 tools, 31 registered sections, 73 suites**, `- Live:` figure untouched at **73**); no new test suite, no new option, no JSON key, no `GLADEX_APP_VERSION` bump (stays **0.4.28**: the changelog's *first* heading did not move), no service restarted (`agent-loop` untouched — still **(99)**), **zero DNS writes** (no `pdns-api.py` call), **no mail sent**, Nextcloud `{"installed":true}`, Immich `{"res":"pong"}`, `/opt/cloud` untouched, `hiring/queue/ruben-stoll.json` unchanged and still the investor's call, no history rewrite, no other identity's file edited by me. Model spend **0.00** (free `*-free` models only; `tools/budget-show` → **5.00 / 1.50 / 3.50** for month 2026-09). The files this run writes are `tests/test_regression_run.sh`, `tools/REGISTRY.md` (its own figure sites and section), `CHANGELOG.md` (`[0.4.149]`) and this entry.

### Closing measurements for the (92) entry above (commit `9952cba`, pushed)

- **The step's own commit**: `9952cba` at **2026-10-01T02:41:28Z**, **4 files, 64 insertions / 5 deletions** — `tests/test_regression_run.sh` (+20: the A16b reader and its assertion), `tools/REGISTRY.md` (10 lines: the four figure sites, the derived-list sentence's third pin, section A's map, the movement note, the `Status` line), `CHANGELOG.md` (`[0.4.149]`, +19) and this entry — through `.githooks/pre-commit` (**exit 0** over the full index), pushed `8b98b5a..9952cba` to `origin` (`git://git.gladex.de/gladex.git`); `git status -sb` → `## main...origin/main`, no ahead marker, worktree clean.

- **The gate re-read on the committed HEAD (`9952cba`)**: `tools/repo-lint --sha HEAD` → **exit 0**, **154 changelog version headings / 154 unique / 5,300 citations checked / 0 missing / 4,894 bare tokens counted**, 165 linted files parse clean, 45 Go modules compile clean (1.7 s) — `153 → 154` is this entry's own heading, and every version it cites resolves.

- **Supporting suites, all run this run on the working tree**: `test_registry_coverage.sh` **264/0** (the suite that re-reads `REGISTRY.md`'s figures against live runs, i.e. the gate on this step's own registry edits), `test_queue_source.sh` **181/0**, `test_commit_gate.sh` **41/0**, `test_repo_lint.sh` **461/0**, `test_changelog_api.php` **86/0**, and the step's own suite **326/0** (against **325/0** at the same `HEAD` before the step).

- **Full regression on the pushed tree**: `./tools/regression-run --format json` → **73 suites / 6,450 passed / 0 failed / 0 skipped, `ok: true`, exit 0, `conflicts: []`**, with the step's own suite inside it. The arithmetic closes rather than being asserted: the previous run recorded **6,449**, and 6,449 + **1** = **6,450**, so the whole delta of this run's regression is exactly this step's one assertion and nothing else moved.

- **All gates on the pushed tree**: `tools/system-status` → **Overall: ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY**, `git-tree [OK] clean`, `go-compile [OK] … (commit 9952cba)`, `go-tests [OK] passing (worktree)`, `investor-duty [OK] owed=0 unread=0 unreplied=0 open=0`, `queue-source [OK] one queue: [0.4.149] pointer-only, 111 item line(s) frozen across 106 section(s), 107 PROGRESS bullet(s)` (the new entry's `### Queue` section read as a pointer, and no historical item line moved), `cloud [OK] nextcloud 200 installed=true; immich 200 pong; 5/5 containers up`, `DNS/MX [OK]`, `tls-cert-expiry [OK] 82d` — plus the same **two pre-existing WARNs** this run neither touched nor worsened: `SOA … mname=placeholder (NEEDS-INVESTOR open)` and `promote-gates … verdict VERDICT-20260930T022500-team-sofia.md is STALE (… re-review required)` with `dev-sync OK | commit-lint OK | ship-tree OK (commit 9952cba)` — the **reviewer's** next review; `app/src/php` was not edited here, so this run introduced neither the staleness nor a candidate for it. `tools/source-sync-check` → **in sync, 44 files across 2 envs, exit 0**; `tools/healthcheck` → **dev HEALTHY / prod HEALTHY**, both **0.4.28**.

- **Served, not assumed — the changelog page is the investor-visible surface and it reads this file**: `GET /changelog` → **200 on dev `:8000` and prod `:8001`, 1,163,455 bytes each, one md5 `658e72bec2f6c639c80bd9349f30b3f0` across both**, the token `0.4.149` present **twice in each response**; `GET /api/changelog` → **total 154, first `0.4.28`, last `0.4.149`** — the *first* heading did not move, so `GLADEX_APP_VERSION` stays **0.4.28**; `GET /healthz` → **200 on both**. No `app/src/php` edit → **no reviewer gate and no promote was needed or executed**.

- **STEP 0 re-verified at the very close, three ways**: direct SQL on both live DBs → `SELECT count(*) FROM messages WHERE direction='investor_to_agent' AND read=0` → **0 dev / 0 prod**; `tools/inbox-status` → **exit 0, "OK - nothing owed (0 unread, 0 open entries all replied)"**, **79 entries / 79 handled / 0 open**, last reply **dev 141 / prod 106**; `grep '^## ' INBOX.md | grep -v HANDLED` → **0**. **Nothing was owed, so no row was inserted this run** — the thread was not written at all, and the three open decisions remain his: **(93)**, **(97)**, and the senior-role hire staged at `hiring/queue/ruben-stoll.json`.

- **Safety, unchanged to the end**: model spend **0.00** (free `*-free` models only; `tools/budget-show` → **5.00 / 1.50 / 3.50** for month 2026-09); no `app/src/php` edit → **no reviewer gate and no promote**, prod untouched (healthcheck **0.4.28** throughout); no service restarted (`agent-loop` untouched — still **(99)**), **zero DNS writes** (no `pdns-api.py` call), **no mail sent**; **no other identity's file edited by me** — only the four files in `9952cba` plus this closing section; Nextcloud `{"installed":true}`, Immich `{"res":"pong"}`, `/opt/cloud` untouched; `hiring/queue/ruben-stoll.json` unchanged and still the investor's call; no history rewrite; no new option, no JSON key, no `GLADEX_APP_VERSION` bump (stays **0.4.28**), no new test suite (**22 tools, 31 registered sections, 73 suites** unchanged, `- Live:` figure untouched at **73**); the three control mutants live only under `/tmp/opencode/` and are never committed.

9952cba (92) A16's floor becomes an equality: A16b re-reads EPILOG_PAIRS' pair count with Python's ast.literal_eval and requires it to equal the sed extraction, so a pair the pattern cannot spell reddens instead of dropping out of every derived loop - suite 325 -> 326, controls 321/1 (A16b the only red) + 320/2 + 316/3, changelog [0.4.149]

Run complete — one verifiable step, committed and pushed.

## STEP 0 (first action): nothing owed
- Unread `investor_to_agent`: **0 dev / 0 prod** (direct SQL on both `messages.db`)
- `tools/inbox-status` → **exit 0**, "OK - nothing owed (0 unread, 0 open entries all replied)", 79 entries / 79 handled / 0 open
- `grep '^## ' INBOX.md | grep -v HANDLED` → **0**
- No investor row was owed, so **no reply was inserted** — noted in `PROGRESS.md`, re-verified at the close. Still his call: **(93)**, **(97)**, and the staged senior-role proposal `hiring/queue/ruben-stoll.json`.

## The step: queue item (92) — `A16`'s floor becomes an equality
- **Defect measured first**: `A16` asserts `>= 1`, so an extractor reading 5 of 6 rows passes; a row the `sed` pattern cannot spell (pair split across two lines, trailing-comma change) is caught by *neither* A16 nor A17 — every derived loop just stops iterating it, same greens, one section less.
- **Fix**: `A16b` re-reads the pair count with a *different* reader (`ast.literal_eval` over the tuple block) and requires it to **equal** the `sed` extraction; a reader that cannot count yields an empty answer and **reddens** (never passes). Tool itself untouched.
- **Measured**: suite **325 → 326** (326/0).
- **Controls**: two-line eighth pair placed *first* → **321/1, A16b the only red** (the blind spot reproduced with the new guard as sole witness); same pair *last* → **320/2**; trailing comma dropped → **316/3**. All three mutants proved to answer `--help` exit 0 beforehand.
- `tools/REGISTRY.md` figures refreshed (325→326 at four sites, third pin, movement note, Status with all control numbers) → `test_registry_coverage` **264/0**.

## Verification
- Commits `9952cba` (step) + `a1515d3` (closing), both **pushed**, worktree clean
- Full regression on the pushed tree: **73 suites / 6,450 passed / 0 failed** (6,449 + 1 = the whole delta)
- `repo-lint --sha HEAD` **exit 0** (154 headings, 154 unique, 0 missing citations)
- Served: `/changelog` **200 on both envs**, 1,163,455 bytes, one md5, `0.4.149` present; `/api/changelog` total 154, first `0.4.28`; `/healthz` **200** both; healthcheck dev/prod **HEALTHY 0.4.28**
- CHANGELOG `[0.4.149]`; spend **0.00** (5.00 / 1.50 / 3.50), zero DNS writes, no mail, no `app/src/php` edit → no reviewer gate needed

**Next run**: **(98)** (three metavars answering 3/3/1 instead of 2), or **(93)/(97)(a)** the moment the investor answers.
