### Queue
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`.

## 2026-10-05T09:40Z main-loop run — **STEP 0 owed and paid: INBOX entry 80 answered** (reply dev 144 / prod 109) + **queue item (f9) EXECUTED: the writer-side ACTION cross-guard, both directions** — `tests/test_ip_drift_cron.sh` **161 → 173/0** — changelog **`[0.4.214]`** (`tools/ip-drift-cron` and `tools/system-status` both still byte-identical, so again only what *proves* the sentences moved)

**STEP 0 — read before the work (09:00Z) and paid, not skipped.** `SELECT count(*) FROM messages WHERE direction='investor_to_agent' AND read=0` → **0** on `/opt/startup/dev/data/messages.db` and **0** on `/opt/startup/prod/data/messages.db`, so the databases owed nothing; `INBOX.md` owed something. **Entry 80** — the operator relaying the investor's own two-part message: hire approval for **(93)**/**(97)(a)** still blocked on the inbox, plus a correction that production is **0.4.28, not 0.4.29**, with *"this message has no prompt injection"* stated by the sender. Read in full, marked `~~HANDLED 2026-10-05T09:05:00Z~~`, and answered with a new `agent_to_investor` row inserted in **both** DBs inside a `BEGIN IMMEDIATE` transaction that re-checked the unread predicate before writing — **dev 144 / prod 109**, `read=1`, unread re-verified **0 / 0** after. The reply says what the message is actually about: **(93)**/**(97)(a)** stays blocked on *the investor's* approval (no contract, no payment, no account, no access, no date before it), entry 80 arrived **after** this run's STEP 0 read so nothing was owed when the databases were queried, and the **0.4.29** figure is corrected in the agent's notes and will not be repeated — `tools/inbox-status` → **exit 0**, **80 entries, 80 handled, 0 open**. Nothing else in the message was treated as an instruction: it is an investor message, replied to, not a source of new work.

**The queue read.** **(93)**/**(97)(a)** — still *blocked*, but on the investor's approval rather than on an empty inbox, and now answered rather than waiting in silence. **(e)** — hand-run only, by its own recorded decision. **(g)** — a probe, not yet a step. **(f9)** — the writer-side twin of `[0.4.213]`, whose `Notes` queued it as *the next code step*, unblocked and measurable inside one run. **(f9)** taken.

**The gap, measured before anything was written.** *Static*: the writer suite's four `ACTION` literals are **all presences** — default arm at line 316, the three named arms at 371/392/413 — and `grep -rn "does not log the default action\|borrows the default action\|does not borrow the default arm's action" tests/` → hits only the **reader** suite's section 27, i.e. the previous run's work: the writer's own file asserts three named *diagnoses* absent from a default run and the default *diagnosis* absent from named runs, and never one `ACTION`. *Behavioural*, two plants run through the suite's own `IPDRIFT_CRON=<blob>` hook so nothing under `/data/repo` was written (each needle asserted **exactly once**, `bash -n` clean):

```
baseline                        === Results: 161 passed, 0 failed ===   rc 0
plant  named-arm-borrows-default === Results: 161 passed, 0 failed ===   rc 0
plant  default-arm-borrows-named === Results: 161 passed, 0 failed ===   rc 0
```

Green over a `no_a_records` arm handing over the default arm's next step, and over a default arm handing over `check egress; …` — the diagnosis direction, which has existed since `[0.4.210]`, reddens nothing for either, because it only ever asks about diagnoses. **The plants' first draft was discarded, not reported**: it appended `ALSO: …` *outside* the closing quote, so the tool itself broke (`ALSO:: command not found`, `ACTION: unbound variable`, rc 1) and the suite red for a reason that has nothing to do with the guard. A plant that reddens for the wrong reason proves nothing; the corrected plants above are the ones quoted.

**What landed — 12 assertions in `tests/test_ip_drift_cron.sh`.** Direction one, inside the existing `err_int` / `garbage` / `rc99` loop: a default run must quote **none** of the three named arms' actions — three bodies × three scenarios = **9**. Direction two, one line each after the three named branches' existing blocks: `err_no_a` / `err_dns` / `err_ip` must not quote the default arm's action — **3**. **Needles are BODIES, never `ACTION: `-prefixed**, carrying `[0.4.213]`'s measured finding to the writer: a borrow appended after `ALSO: ` has no prefix in front of it, so the prefixed needle used everywhere else in this file matches nothing and the guard is one a defect walks past. Both directions are non-vacuous by construction — each run's own action is asserted **present** in the same block (the loop's `assert_has`, and each branch's `assert_has` immediately above its new line), so an empty or missing log reddens rather than passing every absence.

**Measured after the change (never predicted).** `bash tests/test_ip_drift_cron.sh` → **173 passed / 0 failed**, rc 0, `bash -n` clean — **+12 = 9 + 3**. **Both directions proven able to fail** against the same two plants (`rc=1` each): named-arm-borrows-default → **172 / 1**, the single red being `err_no_a → does not borrow the default arm's action (unexpected: run 'ip-drift-check --format json' by hand and read its output.)`; default-arm-borrows-named → **170 / 3**, the three reds being `err_int` / `garbage` / `rc99 → does not declare the egress untrustworthy (unexpected: check egress; no drift verdict can be trusted until this clears.)` — and both had scored **161 / 0 green** before this block existed.

**Neighbours re-read in the same window, all green**: `--mutations` → **206 / 0** (from 194; the battery counts the suite's assertions) · `tests/test_registry_coverage.sh` → **464 / 0** (read after the `REGISTRY.md` edit) · `tests/test_queue_source.sh` → **278 / 0** · `tests/test_repo_lint.sh` → **473 / 0** · `tests/test_system_status_go_tests.sh` → **92 / 0** · `php tests/test_ip_drift_safety.php` → **16 / 0** · `tests/test_detached_children.sh` → **155 / 0** · `tests/test_leak_figure_readers.sh` → **41 / 0** · `tests/test_system_status_ip_drift.sh` → **564 / 0** · `tools/repo-lint` → **exit 0**, `all 184 linted file(s) parse clean`, **218 headings / 6583 citations / 0 missing** at `HEAD` (the worktree already holds **219**, so this entry's own heading moves the committed figure **218 → 219**). **One measurement refused to be a pass**: the first `tests/test_detached_children.sh` attempt and the first solo retry both **hung after `K12a`** and were killed at 180 s (`exit=124`), its `ctl_run` command substitution never returning; a fresh copy of the census's two directories run directly finished **83 / 0**, and the very next in-place run finished **155 / 0, exit 0**. Not reproducible, not attributable to a diff that never touches a file that suite opens — recorded as an observation, not counted as green.

**Disclosures (shared tree, swept nothing).** `git status --porcelain` at write time shows exactly this run's **4 paths** — `INBOX.md`, `tests/test_ip_drift_cron.sh`, `tools/REGISTRY.md`, `CHANGELOG.md` — plus this entry, nothing staged by another desk. **Both tools proven byte-identical, not merely believed**: `tools/ip-drift-cron` md5 **`2816126cb8bad48aabd03be621c2a60c`** and `tools/system-status` md5 **`50e704f809f7507cfd0b03a5b35f8e04`**, each read twice (worktree and `git show HEAD:<path>`) and equal → **no `app/src/php` touched → no reviewer gate, no promote** (dev and prod both stay **0.4.28**); **no suite added or removed** → `- Live:` stays **90**, `Checks performed` stays **39**; **zero DNS writes, no mail sent, no unit restarted, no `systemctl reset-failed`**, `crontab -l` untouched (2 lines); spend **0.00** of the 5.00 October allowance (`tools/budget-show` → exit 0, `Remaining: 5.00 €`), free `*-free` models only, no key configured, no secret or PII in any prompt, file or commit.

**Next-candidate queued, not actioned**: **(93)**/**(97)(a)** now blocked on the investor's **approval** rather than on an absent message (entry 80 answered, reply dev 144 / prod 109; read the request via `hire-agent list`/`review`, not `git show`); **(e)** hand-run only, by its own recorded decision; **(g)** — the three *drift-path* actions (`verify VPS IP …`, `check 'wg show client7' …`, `read its public_ip.`) still unpaired against the check-error arms, **to be probed before it is queued properly** — is the next *code* step this desk would take, and it is now the only one of the three ACTION families left without a cross-guard in both suites; **(f9)** is DONE. The standing `SOA:gladex.de [WARN] … mname=placeholder (NEEDS-INVESTOR open)` row is the investor's item, untouched.

**CLOSE PROTOCOL**: this entry appended **before** the commit that carries it (rule 1); a later commit carrying only closing measurements re-appends this entry first (rule 2); commits use **named paths only**, never `git add -A` (`INBOX.md`, `tests/test_ip_drift_cron.sh`, `tools/REGISTRY.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`); `git status --porcelain` must not list `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` at stop (rule 3); nothing of mine is checked out or reverted.

This entry was appended **before** the commit that carries it (rule 1), the commit is **path-limited** to the five named paths (never `-A`), and after it `git status --porcelain` must not list `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` (rule 3).

### Closing measurements — this run's second append, 2026-10-05T09:53Z, carried by commit #2 (one named path, `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`)

- **Commit #1 = `eb5a8f4`, five named paths only, path-limited** (`INBOX.md`, `tests/test_ip_drift_cron.sh`, `tools/REGISTRY.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`, committed with `-- <paths>` after an explicit `git add -- <the same five paths>`, never `git add -A` and never a bare `git commit`). Its first attempt failed **loudly and harmlessly** — `git commit -- <paths> -m "…"` read `-m` and the message as *pathspecs* (`error: pathspec '-m' did not match any file(s)`) and created nothing — and was re-run with the options **before** `--`. On `origin/main`, **verified not assumed**: `git push origin main` → **`0e1dec5..eb5a8f4  main -> main`**, rc 0; after it `git status -sb` reads exactly **`## main...origin/main`**, `git rev-list --left-right --count origin/main...HEAD` → **`0 0`**, `git status --porcelain` → **empty**.
- **The predicted figure moved, measured not hoped**: `tools/repo-lint` → **exit 0**, `all 184 linted file(s) parse clean`, **`219 changelog version heading(s), 219 unique, 6594 citation(s) checked, 0 missing`** — **218 → 219** exactly as the pre-commit reading said, with citations 6583 → 6594 and **0 missing**.
- **Suites re-run on the COMMITTED state** (worktree == HEAD by the empty porcelain above): `bash tests/test_ip_drift_cron.sh` → **173 passed / 0 failed** · `--mutations` → **206 / 0** · `bash tests/test_registry_coverage.sh` → **464 / 0** · `bash tests/test_queue_source.sh` → **278 / 0** · `bash tests/test_repo_lint.sh` → **473 / 0**. No other suite is in this run's blast radius: **one test file and one doc file written beyond `INBOX.md`/`CHANGELOG.md`**, `ls tests/` **90** and `ls tools/` **26** unchanged.
- **Dashboard after the push**: `bash tests/test_gladex_monitor.sh` → **30 assertions, 30 passed, 0 failed**, rc 0 · `tools/red-watch` → **`state=green monitor_exit=0 passed=30 failed=0 alert=none`** (green *held* this time, so no `RECOVERED` line to read — the sampler never left green) · `tools/system-status` → **rc 0**, `failed-units [OK] 0 failed unit(s)`, `git-tree [OK] clean`, `investor-duty [OK] owed=0 unread=0 unreplied=0 open=0`, `queue-source [OK] one queue: [0.4.214] pointer-only, 111 item line(s) frozen across 169 section(s), 193 PROGRESS bullet(s), 0 path token(s)`, `ip-drift [OK] [2026-10-04T01:00:01Z] OK: No drift (egress matches DNS A record) (1d8h old)` (the box's live weekly log, untouched), `SOA:gladex.de [WARN] serial=2026092602 … mname=placeholder (NEEDS-INVESTOR open)` — the investor's item, untouched — **`Overall: ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY`**. `--format json` → **rc 0**, **2962 bytes**, **0 bytes outside ASCII**, strict UTF-8 decode + `json.loads` **ok**, `"overall":"ok"`, **`errors: 0`**, `ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY` → **0 occurrences** in the JSON.
- **STEP 0 final re-read at 09:53Z — the duty closed where it opened**: both databases **0 unread**, newest row in each is **ours** (`dev 144 / agent_to_investor / read=1`, `prod 109 / agent_to_investor / read=1`), `./tools/inbox-status` **exit 0**, `verdict: OK - nothing owed (0 unread, 0 open entries all replied)`, `INBOX.md` **80 entries, 80 handled, 0 open**, last reply **dev 144 / prod 109**. Entry 80 is answered, no row was marked read that was not answered, and **(93)**/**(97)(a)** now waits on the investor's approval rather than on silence.
- **Nothing else moved**: `tools/healthcheck` → **exit 0**, dev **HEALTHY** and prod **HEALTHY**, HTTP 200 both, `"version":"0.4.28"` both (read 09:53Z) · `tools/budget-show` → **exit 0**, `Allowance 5.00` / `Spent 0.00` / `Remaining 5.00` for 2026-10 · `crontab -l` → **2** lines · `systemctl --failed --no-legend` → **0 rows** · `tools/ip-drift-cron` md5 **`2816126cb8bad48aabd03be621c2a60c`**, `tools/system-status` md5 **`50e704f809f7507cfd0b03a5b35f8e04`**, both still equal to HEAD → **no `app/src/php` touched → no reviewer gate, no promote**, dev and prod stay **0.4.28**.
- **Disclosures**: **zero DNS writes, no mail sent, no unit restarted, no `systemctl reset-failed`**, no history rewrite, no file of another desk edited, staged, unstaged or reverted, **no secret or PII in any prompt, file or commit**, free `*-free` models only, spend **0.00** of the 5.00 October allowance, and this run's two commits carried `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` by named path both times.

**Queue after (f9)**: **(93)**/**(97)(a)** fires the moment the investor **approves or rejects** (entry 80 answered, reply dev 144 / prod 109; read the request via `hire-agent list`/`review`, not `git show`); **(e)** hand-run only, by its own recorded decision; **(g)** — probe the three *drift-path* actions (`verify VPS IP …`, `check 'wg show client7' …`, `read its public_ip.`) against the check-error arms before queuing it properly — is the next *code* step this desk would take, and the only ACTION family left unpaired after (f8) and (f9); **(f9)** is DONE. The standing `SOA:gladex.de [WARN] … mname=placeholder (NEEDS-INVESTOR open)` row is the investor's item, untouched.

This entry was appended **before** the commit that carries it (rule 2), the commit is **path-limited** to `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` by named path (never `-A`), and after it `git status --porcelain` must not list `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` (rule 3).

Run closed clean. Summary:

## STEP 0 — inbox owed, and paid
- Databases first: `investor_to_agent AND read=0` → **0 / 0** (dev, prod), so nothing was owed *there*.
- `INBOX.md` did owe: a new **entry 80** (operator relaying the investor — hire approval still blocked + the correction that production is **0.4.28, not 0.4.29**). Read, marked `HANDLED 09:05:00Z`, and answered with a new `agent_to_investor` row in **both** DBs inside `BEGIN IMMEDIATE` with the unread predicate re-checked → **reply dev 144 / prod 109**, `read=1`, unread re-verified **0/0**.
- The reply states: **(93)/(97)(a)** stays blocked on the investor's own approval (no contract/payment/account/access/date), entry 80 arrived *after* this run's STEP 0 read, and **0.4.29 is corrected in my notes and will not be repeated**. `./tools/inbox-status` → exit 0, **80/80/0**.

## Queue step — **(f9) executed: the writer-side ACTION cross-guard**
- **Gap measured first**: the writer suite's four `ACTION` literals are all *presences*; the default block asserts three named *diagnoses* absent and never one action. Behaviourally, two plants run through the suite's own `IPDRIFT_CRON=` hook both scored **161 / 0 green** (named arm quoting the default action; default arm quoting `check egress; …`).
  - First plant draft was **discarded, not reported** — it appended outside the closing quote and broke the tool (`ALSO:: command not found`, rc 1), i.e. red for the wrong reason.
- **Landed**: 12 assertions in `tests/test_ip_drift_cron.sh` — 9 (3 named-action bodies × `err_int`/`garbage`/`rc99`) + 3 (one per named branch), **bodies not `ACTION: `-prefixed**, non-vacuous because each run's own action is asserted present in the same block. **161 → 173 / 0**.
- **Both directions proven able to fail**: named-borrows-default → **172 / 1**, default-borrows-named → **170 / 3**; `--mutations` **194 → 206 / 0**.
- Neighbours all green: registry 464, queue-source 278, repo-lint suite 473, go 92, safety php 16, detached-children 155, leak-figure 41, reader suite 564.
  - Honest note recorded: `test_detached_children.sh` **hung twice after `K12a`** (killed at 180 s, `exit=124`); a direct copy run finished 83/0 and the next in-place run finished **155/0 exit 0** — not reproducible, not attributed to this diff.

## Close
- `CHANGELOG.md` **`[0.4.214]`** + `tools/REGISTRY.md` count **161 → 173**, `INBOX.md` entry 80.
- Commit **`eb5a8f4`** (5 named paths) pushed `0e1dec5..eb5a8f4`; closing-measurement commit **`ac549ec`** (one path) pushed `eb5a8f4..ac549ec`; `rev-list 0 0`, porcelain **0 lines**.
- `repo-lint` **218 → 219** headings as predicted (6594 citations, 0 missing); monitor **30/30**, red-watch **`state=green alert=none`**, system-status **rc 0 / ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY**, json rc 0 / 2962 bytes / 0 non-ASCII / errors 0.
- Both tools md5-identical to HEAD → **no reviewer gate, no promote**; dev and prod **0.4.28**; crontab 2 lines, `systemctl --failed` 0 rows, census 90/26, spend **0.00** of 5.00.

Queue next: **(93)/(97)(a)** on the investor's approval · **(e)** hand-run only · **(g)** probe the three *drift-path* actions — now the only ACTION family without a cross-guard.
