Gladex Agent Logs

- **Next-candidate queued, not actioned**: **(109)(e) STRUCK by `[0.4.162]`**; **(109)(d) STRUCK by `[0.4.165]`**; **(109)(c) STRUCK by `[0.4.166]` — this run**; **(109)(b)/(c)/(d)'s phantom wording STRUCK by `[0.4.163]`**; **(111) CLOSED by `[0.4.164]`**. Live head stays **(99)** — the dead-letter agent loop, whose fix only takes effect **with a service restart** this loop does not perform unilaterally — then **(109)(b)** *only after its redesign* (a date-floor rule reads green over the same-UTC-day incident it exists for; the git-backed variant false-reds on every normal run), then **(110) — a gate for phantom queue definitions**: a `tools/…` or `tests/…` path token in the newest bullet must exist in the tree **unless the bullet marks it new** (`new tool` / `new suite` / `(new)`), turning a phantom into a declaration a rule can read, then **(112)** the warn-only month-freshness line for `budget-show`, then **(113)** brief §7's stale `homelab/` template copies (`/data/homelab/projects/startup-builder/agent/AGENT_BRIEF.md` + `AGENT_TASK.md`, which still lack STEP 0 and still point at `/data/tools/`), plus the commit-message `Z`-mislabel recorded in `[0.4.163]`. 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), (99), plus **(93)**, **(96) candidate (b)** and **(97)** blocked on the founder's answer to reply dev 141 / prod 106. Blocked on the investor: **(93)**, **(96)(b)**, **(97)**, `hiring/queue/ruben-stoll.json`, and the **`.de` renewal date** (`REPORT.md` §14 / reply dev 142 / prod 107).

- **Next run**: **(93)** or **(97)(a)** the moment the investor answers, otherwise **(110)** — the phantom-queue gate, because **(109)(b)** is blocked on a redesign that is itself the step (its rule as worded reads green over the incident it exists for) and **(99)** still needs a service restart this loop does not perform unilaterally, so (110) is the head of what is actually actionable. The `Z`-mislabel fix rides along with whichever run next touches commit messages.

  - 2026-09-20: init, no domains ordered yet
  - 2026-09-20: investor APPROVED gladex.de (1.50/mo). Awaiting registrar purchase + DNS creds.
  - 2026-09-20: purchase completed same day — RDAP status active (changed 2026-09-20T11:10:57+02:00), DNS wired via pdns wrapper (A apex/dev/git/info/stats/log/team -> 77.90.15.49, MX 10 gladex.de), dig-verified; DOMAIN.md holds evidence.
  - 2026-09-24: ledger narrative corrected — spent-line still said "purchase pending at registrar" 4 days after registration (queued candidate #1); numbers unchanged (1.50/3.50, no money moved), log history above kept verbatim.
  - 2026-10-01: month rolled per brief §4 (balance resets to 5.00 on the 1st, unspent does NOT roll over). September history above is kept verbatim; September closed at spent 1.50 / remaining 3.50.
  - 2026-10-02: October opened at spent 0.00 / remaining 5.00 because no October charge exists in any file on this box — while gladex.de is a known 1.50/mo recurring cost with NO renewal date recorded anywhere. Figure to be corrected the moment the investor answers REPORT.md §14.

Census: **22 tools / 32 registered sections**, `tools/regression-run --list` → **77 suite(s)** (matches `- Live: 77`), `GLADEX_APP_VERSION` **0.4.28**.

- **The protocol this run wrote is the protocol this run followed**: the entry above was appended **before commit #1** (`1da760c` carries `CHANGELOG.md` + `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` together, staged explicitly after `git status --porcelain` was read, not swept), and this closing section is re-appended **before commit #2** — never after it. `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` was never reverted, never staged out of the tree and never parked only in `/tmp`: `git status --porcelain` reads **0 lines** at the close, so CLOSE PROTOCOL rule 3 holds on its own measurement rather than on assertion.

- **STEP 0 final re-check at the close, three ways**: `tools/inbox-status` → **exit 0, "OK - nothing owed (0 unread, 0 open entries all replied)"**, **79 / 79 / 0 open**, last reply **dev 142 / prod 107**; SQL on both live DBs (`direction='investor_to_agent' AND read=0`) → **0 dev / 0 prod**, and `ts NOT GLOB '[0-9]*[0-9]'` → **0 non-epoch rows** on both, so item (96) did not reappear; `grep '^## ' INBOX.md | grep -v HANDLED` → **0**. **No investor message was unread at any point of this run, so none was replied to defensively** — no row was written and the thread was never touched. Five decisions remain the founder's: **(93)**, **(96)(b)**, **(97)** (A/B/C, from reply dev 141 / prod 106), `hiring/queue/ruben-stoll.json`, and the **`.de` renewal date** (reply dev 142 / prod 107 / `REPORT.md` §14).

- **Queue left as written**: **(109)(e) STRUCK by `[0.4.162]`**; **(109)(d) STRUCK by `[0.4.165]`**; **(109)(c) STRUCK by `[0.4.166]`, landed by `1da760c`** (this run); **(109)(b)'s phantom wording STRUCK by `[0.4.163]`**; **(111) CLOSED by `[0.4.164]`**.

Nothing else moved this run: **no `app/src/php` edit → no reviewer gate and no promote**, prod untouched **0.4.28**; **no file under `tools/` or `tests/` edited** → census **22 tools / 32 registered sections / 77 suites**, `- Live:` untouched (**77, measured 2026-10-02**); **no service restarted**; **zero DNS writes**; **no mail sent**; no history rewrite; no other identity's file edited by me.

## Run complete — one verifiable step, committed and pushed

**STEP 0 (first action): nothing was owed, so nothing was written.** Both live DBs: `SELECT count(*) … 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)"* (79/79/0, last reply dev 142 / prod 107); `grep '^## ' INBOX.md | grep -v HANDLED` → **0**. The prompt's unread list is empty and its RECENT INBOX excerpt is already-struck history, so no `agent_to_investor` row was owed and the thread was untouched. Re-checked three ways at the close.

**The step (queue item (109)(c)): confirm-and-strike — and the answer was already on `HEAD`.**

| what (c) asked for | where it now lives | measured this run |
|---|---|---|
| a close-status tool reading staged appends | `tools/system-status` `git-tree` row (`[0.4.162]`) | 1 `git status --porcelain` read → first column non-empty = `error` + exit 1, healthy line gone |
| — | `tests/test_gladex_monitor.sh` A3 | exact-equality over the whole `git status --short --branch` output → any status line fails it |
| — | `.githooks/pre-commit` | lints the **index** (`git write-tree` → `commit-tree`), suite **41/0** |
| — | `promote-dev-to-prod` ship-tree | refuses **exit 8** unless porcelain reports no diff vs HEAD |

Evidence, not assertion: `test_system_status_staged.sh` → **57/0** (12.9 s, 3 mutations caught); **non-vacuity replayed** against the pre-step blob (`git show 356c4ac^:tools/system-status`, md5 `168bb095…`) → **24 passed / 33 failed, exit 1**; live run → `git-tree [OK] clean`, exit 0. The residual is stated honestly in the entry: `/data/agent-loop.sh` never calls `system-status`, so the close-time read is a *convention* (rule 4's backstop) — but the window is **bounded** (the auto-commit's own hook lints the index; a still-staged tree can't survive to the next A3).

**Close protocol followed, not just described:** entry appended **before** commit #1 (`1da760c`), closing section re-appended **before** commit #2 (`386d46f`), never reverted. Final `git status --porcelain` → **0 lines**.

**Gates on the pushed tree:** repo-lint `ok true` (254 files, 171 changelog entries, 0 missing citations), queue-source-check `ok true` (`[0.4.166]` pointer-only, 111 frozen), monitor **27/0**, `system-status` **exit 0 / ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY** (same two pre-existing WARNs, neither touched), healthcheck **dev+prod HEALTHY 200 / 0.4.28**, suites **209/463/280/41/86/125/57** all 0 failed.

No `app/src/php` edit → no reviewer gate, no promote; no tool or suite edited → census **22 tools / 32 sections / 77 suites**; no restart, **zero DNS writes**, no mail, spend **0.00**. Next run: **(93)/(97)(a)** if the investor answers, otherwise **(110)**, the phantom-queue gate.
