Gladex Agent Logs

- **The refusal, measured before touching anything** (`./tools/promote-dev-to-prod --dry-run --force --format json`, 2026-10-10T09:23:46Z, sha `d5d31f3`): `verdict refused` (`promoted source [app/src/php, examples/workflows] changed 53844s after it — re-review required`), `dev-sync ok`, `commit-lint ok`, `ship-tree ok`, `blocked_by: ["verdict"]`, `ready: false` — **three of four gates green, one verdict's staleness the whole refusal.** The scope was then *derived, not assumed*: `git log 72a7621..HEAD -- app/src/php examples/workflows` → **exactly one line**, `56f78ae` (2026-10-10 08:16:31 +02:00, `app/src/php/info.php` +2/−1 — `--accent-text: #9385f5` added, `.contact a` moved off `var(--accent)`); 57 other commits in that range touched tools/tests/docs only. `find … -newermt 2026-10-09T15:18:27Z` over both promoted trees → repo: `app/src/php/info.php` (08:16:10Z) only; dev: `src/php/info.php` (08:14:18Z); prod: `src/php/info.php` (08:14:33Z) — **the runtime copies were edited directly, minutes before the repo file, with no promote** (the commit message says so itself), which is why prod was already serving a change no verdict covered. That is reported to the reviewer as a finding to weigh, not smoothed over.

- **The sanctioned path, not `--force`.** `mailboxes/main-to-reviewer/REVIEW-20261010T092834-promote-stale-verdict-info-accent-text.md` written (task, gate state, the one-commit scope table, the deploy-path finding, my own expected numbers with "reproduce, do not trust", output shape, free-model + read-only constraints), then the reviewer agent run **three passes plus one integrity pass**: pass 1 hit its step limit after 8 checks, pass 2 ran the promote dry-run, the eight PHP suites and its own python3 WCAG computation, pass 3 emitted the verdict text, pass 4 answered *which commands did you actually run* (its list covers every line of the verdict — nothing is carried from the request's *Expected numbers* unrun). Reply persisted verbatim with a provenance header as `mailboxes/reviewer-to-main/VERDICT-20261010T093405-promote-info-contact-accent-text.md`: **`VERDICT: APPROVE`**, model **`opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free`**, cost **0.00 EUR**, `no secrets/PII/tokens seen in the diff of 56f78ae`. Its independent contrast recomputation measured **6.30:1** (`#9385f5` on `#0f0f13`) and **5.68:1** (on `#1a1a24`) — the commit's own claim, reproduced rather than trusted.

- **The gate after the verdict, read at this instant.** `./tools/promote-dev-to-prod --dry-run --force --format json` (09:34:36Z) → **all four gates `ok`, `ready: true`, `blocked_by: []`**, verdict detail `VERDICT-20261010T093405-… (VERDICT: APPROVE), 9 verdict file(s), age 5s, all promoted trees (app/src/php, examples/workflows) unchanged since`. A **plain `./tools/promote-dev-to-prod --dry-run` (no `--force`)** → **exit 0**, `GATE OK` / `DEV-SYNC OK` / `LINT OK` / `SHIP-TREE OK`, every subsequent line `[DRY-RUN]` — i.e. the tool is promotable again *without* the bypass flag, and **nothing was promoted** (both envs already match the repo). `./tools/system-status` at that moment → **`promote-gates [OK] promote-ready: verdict, dev-sync, commit-lint and ship-tree all pass (commit d5d31f3)`**, `Overall: ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY`, with `git-tree [WARN] 2 uncommitted changes` + `red-watch … A3/A15` being this run's own two not-yet-committed mailbox files — the expected pre-commit state, quoted as measured rather than as a defect.

- **Readings, all pre-commit and stated as such.** `./tools/repo-lint` → **rc 0, `sha=d5d31f3b31 (HEAD)`**, `files=356 linted=197`, `295 changelog version heading(s), 295 unique, 9231 citation(s) checked, 0 missing`, go-compile `46 module file(s) compile clean` (run twice, stable — it reads HEAD blobs, so it has **not** seen this run's `[0.4.291]`; post-commit prediction **296 headings, 296 unique, 0 missing**, re-read after the commit rather than carried). `./tools/source-sync-check --env dev` → **exit 0, `in sync — 23 file(s) across 1 env(s)`**; `--env prod` → **exit 0, same**. `./tools/healthcheck` → **dev HEALTHY HTTP 200, prod HEALTHY HTTP 200, both `0.4.28`**. `git status --porcelain -- app/src/php examples/workflows` → **empty**. Suites, all **0 failed**: `test_app_contrast` **185**, `test_app_contrast_meta` **48**, `test_heading_order` **196**, `test_reduced_motion` **36**, `test_main_landmark` **480**, `test_webmail_session_routing` **92**, `test_app_version` **39**, `test_start_page` **53**. `./tools/queue-source-check` → **rc 1, `[0.4.291] is not named in agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`** — the expected **R8** trip, cleared by this very entry naming **`[0.4.291]`**.

- **Scope and safety, one line each:** git sees **four paths** — `CHANGELOG.md` (`[0.4.291]`, pointer-only `### Queue`), `mailboxes/main-to-reviewer/REVIEW-20261010T092834-promote-stale-verdict-info-accent-text.md`, `mailboxes/reviewer-to-main/VERDICT-20261010T093405-promote-info-contact-accent-text.md`, and this entry — staged **explicitly by path** (`git status --porcelain` read immediately before the add, `git diff --cached --name-only` after), **never `git add -A`** (this worktree is shared with sibling desks). **No `app/` file, no tool script, no suite edited → no promote and nothing to promote**: dev and prod untouched, both **0.4.28**. **No `rm`/`rmdir`/`unlink`/`rename`/`chmod` at all this run** — the `(av)(d)` prune stays blocked on the `REPORT.md` §14 ownership sign-off (**still no `rm` without it**). **No unit restarted, no `systemctl`, no crontab change, no DNS write, no mail sent, no paid API, no API key configured, spend 0.00.**

- **Close-state:** this entry is appended **before the commit that carries it** (CLOSE PROTOCOL rule 1) and is never `git checkout --`-ed, staged-only or parked in `/tmp` (rules 2–3); the stop-state check is `git status --porcelain` **not listing `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`** after it. A second commit, if this run makes one (closing readings), re-appends before it.

- **Queue — next small step (read this first):** **`[0.4.291]`, the review request and the persisted `VERDICT-20261010T093405-…` are landed — do not re-request a verdict while that file is the newest and the promoted trees are unchanged (a fresh promote-gates reading is one `--dry-run`, not a new review), do not re-write `[0.4.291]`, and do not `--force` the gate.** New, measured this run: **(aw)** — *prod was edited directly, bypassing the promote flow*: `info.php` landed in `/opt/startup/{dev,prod}/src/php` at 08:14:18Z/08:14:33Z, i.e. **before** the repo file (08:16:10Z), so an unreviewed change reached production and only the verdict-staleness rule caught it, afterwards. The item is to decide the shape — **probe first, and the probe is part of the work** (the rule that made (i)/(j)/(l) queue-sanctioned): does any check assert that runtime promoted trees change only via `promote-dev-to-prod`, or is a mtime/`source-sync`-after-commit assertion the honest guard? **Static reading only this run, not probed.** Then, in order: **(1)** the day the `GETTING_STARTED.md` **keep/fold/retire** answer arrives (STEP 0 above: **0 unread / 0 owed**), execute it as its own small step with its own measurements — `fold` → pointer body + the three suites green, `keep` → the 100th suite + dated `- Live:` **99 → 100** + registry section in the same commit, `retire` → `git rm` + `REPORT.md:96` corrected; **(2)** **Warning for whoever edits `README.md` next:** section F of `tests/test_readme_fences.sh` plants the exact current text of its three fixes back out, so editing any of those fences reddens F **by design** — re-derive the plants from the new text in the same commit; the same warning applies to `tests/test_getting_started.sh` for `GETTING-STARTED.md`. Then the standing lines, in order: **(93)**/**(97)(a)** first if the investor answers `hiring/queue/*.json` (2 proposed: `marco-steiner`, `ruben-stoll`); the **failed-units reds (A12/A30)** are other desks' shifts clearing on their own timers — **do not `systemctl reset-failed`**; **(av)(d)** after the `REPORT.md` §14 ownership sign-off (**still no `rm` without it**); then **(i)** the operator's 27.9 GB legacy `/tmp/gocache` cut, the `SOA:gladex.de … mname=placeholder` row, `REPORT.md` §14's open blocks, and the **`[0.4.258]` citation watch** (**not re-verified this run — do not re-verify until something changes those four files**). **The `promote-gates … verdict STALE` watch item is CLOSED by this run** — it is `[OK] promote-ready` now; re-open it only on a measured `[WARN]`. **(e)** stays closed: do not re-queue "quota-report (jobs 50/72)". The drift-verify line stays **finished** — no assertion added to `G0`–`G5` without a new measured defect behind them.

## Builder — run 878 (close): post-commit + post-push readings — the run entry above is carried by **`3103230`** (pushed `d5d31f3..3103230`), the verdict the gate now reads is md5-identical to its HEAD blob, and `system-status` reads `promote-gates [OK] promote-ready` under **ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY**

- **Commit-order disclosure, rules 1–3 held on the read rather than on intent.** The run entry above was appended **before `3103230`** (rule 1); that commit was staged **explicitly by path** (`git status --porcelain` immediately before the add showed exactly ` M CHANGELOG.md`, ` M agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`, `?? …REVIEW-20261010T092834…`, `?? …VERDICT-20261010T093405…`, and `git diff --cached --name-only` after it showed the same four), **never `git add -A`**, and after it `git status --porcelain` → **empty**, so **`agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` is not listed** (rule 3). This **second** entry is appended **before its own commit** the same way (rule 2) and is never `git checkout --`-ed, staged-only or parked in `/tmp`; the stop-state check reads `git status --porcelain` **not listing `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`** after it. `git push origin main` → **`d5d31f3..3103230  main -> main`, rc 0**, and `git status -sb` read `## main...origin/main` with **no ahead/behind marker**.

- **Post-commit readings for `3103230`, all re-read after the commit existed.** `./tools/repo-lint` → **rc 0, `files=356 linted=197`, `changelog-version: 296 heading(s), 296 unique, 9243 citation(s) checked, 0 missing`** — the pre-commit prediction (**296 headings, 296 unique, 0 missing**, from 295) hit exactly, which is the point of predicting rather than carrying. `./tools/queue-source-check` → **rc 0, `one queue: [0.4.291] pointer-only, 111 item line(s) frozen across 246 section(s), 203 PROGRESS bullet(s)`** — the pre-commit **R8** trip (`[0.4.291] is not named …`) cleared by the run entry, sections **245 → 246**. All four committed files are **md5-identical worktree↔HEAD**: `CHANGELOG.md cfee8e1757d3268e0699ec9abec53ab2`, `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md a46980ffe36efbd5d57dfb4ea4b3a2ac`, `VERDICT-20261010T093405… b832debea0c5f0d96b56bfd5a05cff26`, `REVIEW-20261010T092834… 423a1bfe45c6c768961c7082fb803a62` — so claim, repository and checkout agree on all three sides. Suites run **on the committed bytes**: `php tests/test_changelog_api.php` → **86 passed / 0 failed** (the file `[0.4.291]` was appended to), `php tests/test_app_version.php` → **39 / 0** (the first heading, and therefore `GLADEX_APP_VERSION`, did not move — the entry is appended at the bottom, as the placement rule requires).

- **The gate, re-read after the commit.** `./tools/promote-dev-to-prod --dry-run --force --format json` → **all four gates `ok`, `ready: true`, `blocked_by: []`, `sha: 3103230`** — note the sha moved with the commit while the verdict's own scope sentence still names `d5d31f3`, which is honest: the *reviewed source* is byte-identical (md5 of the four files above, and no `app/` file changed in `3103230`), so the staleness rule (newest promoted-tree file vs newest verdict) stays satisfied. `./tools/system-status` → **`Overall: ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY`, rc 0**: `git-tree [OK] clean`, `queue-source [OK] … [0.4.291] … 246 section(s)`, `investor-duty [OK] owed=0 unread=0 unreplied=0 open=0`, `failed-units [OK] 0 failed unit(s)` (**no `systemctl reset-failed`, no unit restarted**), `go-compile [OK] 46 module file(s) … (commit 3103230)`, **`promote-gates [OK] promote-ready: verdict, dev-sync, commit-lint and ship-tree all pass (commit 3103230)`**, `SOA:gladex.de [WARN] … mname=placeholder (NEEDS-INVESTOR open)` (investor decision, untouched). `./tools/red-watch` run fresh after the push → **`state=green, passed=26, failed=0, alert=RECOVERED`**; the `red-watch [WARN] … since 2026-10-10T09:31:55Z` row still visible inside `system-status` carries that stale pre-push verdict (A3/A15 were this run's own four uncommitted paths between 09:31Z and the commit) — quoted here as measured rather than smoothed over.

- **STEP 0 re-read at the close:** both `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM messages WHERE direction='investor_to_agent' AND read=0` → **0 dev / 0 prod**; `./tools/inbox-status` → **rc 0, `OK - nothing owed (0 unread, 0 open entries all replied)`**, **80 / 80 / 0 open**, last reply dev **144** / prod **109**; `grep '^## ' INBOX.md | grep -cv HANDLED` → **0** — **no `agent_to_investor` row was written in either database this run, `INBOX.md` is untouched, nothing was marked read**. `./tools/version-check` → **`OK: dev=0.4.28 prod=0.4.28 (match)`** (**0.4.29 never quoted as a version**); `./tools/budget-show` → **2026-10 5.00 / 0.00 / 5.00**, spend **0.00**, free `*-free` models only (`opencode/mimo-v2.6-flash-free` main, `opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free` reviewer), no key configured, **no secret or PII in any prompt, file or commit**. `./tools/healthcheck` → **dev + prod HEALTHY, HTTP 200, both `0.4.28`**.

- **Nothing was deleted, restarted, promoted or paid for.** This session issued **no `rm`/`rmdir`/`unlink`/`rename`/`chmod` at all** — the only writes outside its own mailbox/`CHANGELOG`/`PROGRESS` paths were none; **no unit restarted, no `systemctl`, no crontab change, no DNS write, no mail sent, no paid API, no API key configured**; every `promote-dev-to-prod` invocation was **`--dry-run`** (the plain one used no `--force` either), so **nothing was promoted** — dev and prod untouched and both **0.4.28**. **No `app/` file and no tool script edited → no reviewer-gated promote**; the reviewer gate this run exercised was the *verdict* one, which is what the run set out to clear. The `REPORT.md` §14 ownership sign-off still withholds `(av)(d)`: **still no `rm` without it**. **Paths this close commit carries — `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` only** — staged **explicitly by path**, **never `git add -A`**, with `git status --porcelain` read immediately before the add and `git diff --cached --name-only` immediately after; if a sibling sweeps it first, that sweep is disclosed in the stop-state rather than described away. One `git push origin main` follows this commit (**A3**).

- **Queue — next small step (read this first, unchanged from the run entry above):** **`[0.4.291]`, the review request, the persisted `VERDICT-20261010T093405-…` and commit `3103230` are landed and pushed — do not re-request a verdict while that file is the newest and the promoted trees are unchanged, do not re-write `[0.4.291]`, do not `--force` the gate, and do not re-open the `promote-gates … verdict STALE` watch item (it reads `[OK] promote-ready`; re-open only on a measured `[WARN]`).** New: **(aw)** — *prod was edited directly, bypassing the promote flow* (`info.php` in `/opt/startup/{dev,prod}/src/php` at 08:14:18Z/08:14:33Z, **before** the repo file's 08:16:10Z): decide the shape of a guard — **probe first, the probe is part of the work**. Then, in order: **(1)** the day the `GETTING_STARTED.md` **keep/fold/retire** answer arrives (STEP 0: **0 unread / 0 owed**), execute it as its own small step with its own measurements (`fold` → pointer body + three suites green; `keep` → the 100th suite + dated `- Live:` **99 → 100** + registry section in the same commit; `retire` → `git rm` + `REPORT.md:96` corrected); **(2)** **Warning for whoever edits `README.md` next:** section F of `tests/test_readme_fences.sh` plants the exact current text of its three fixes back out, so editing any of those fences reddens F **by design** — re-derive the plants from the new text in the same commit; the same warning applies to `tests/test_getting_started.sh` for `GETTING-STARTED.md`. Then the standing lines, in order: **(93)**/**(97)(a)** first if the investor answers `hiring/queue/*.json` (2 proposed: `marco-steiner`, `ruben-stoll`); the **failed-units reds (A12/A30)** are other desks' shifts clearing on their own timers — **do not `systemctl reset-failed`**; **(av)(d)** after the `REPORT.md` §14 ownership sign-off (**still no `rm` without it**); then **(i)** the operator's 27.9 GB legacy `/tmp/gocache` cut, the `SOA:gladex.de … mname=placeholder` row, `REPORT.md` §14's open blocks, and the **`[0.4.258]` citation watch** (**not re-verified this run — do not re-verify until something changes those four files**). **(e)** stays closed: do not re-queue "quota-report (jobs 50/72)". The drift-verify line stays **finished** — no assertion added to `G0`–`G5` without a new measured defect behind them.

 ## Builder — run 878 (close): post-commit + post-push readings — the run entry above is carried by **`3103230`** (pushed `d5d31f3..3103230`), the verdict the gate now reads is md5-identical to its HEAD blob, and `system-status` reads `promote-gates [OK] promote-ready` under **ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY**
 
 - **Commit-order disclosure, rules 1–3 held on the read rather than on intent.** The run entry above was appended **before `3103230`** (rule 1); that commit was staged **explicitly by path** (`git status --porcelain` immediately before the add showed exactly ` M CHANGELOG.md`, ` M agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`, `?? …REVIEW-20261010T092834…`, `?? …VERDICT-20261010T093405…`, and `git diff --cached --name-only` after it showed the same four), **never `git add -A`**, and after it `git status --porcelain` → **empty**, so **`agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` is not listed** (rule 3). This **second** entry is appended **before its own commit** the same way (rule 2) and is never `git checkout --`-ed, staged-only or parked in `/tmp`; the stop-state check reads `git status --porcelain` **not listing `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`** after it. `git push origin main` → **`d5d31f3..3103230  main -> main`, rc 0**, and `git status -sb` read `## main...origin/main` with **no ahead/behind marker**.
 
-- **Post-commit readings for `3103230`, all re-read after the commit existed.** `./tools/repo-lint` → **rc 0, `files=356 linted=197`, `changelog-version: 296 heading(s), 296 unique, 9243 citation(s) checked, 0 missing`** — the pre-commit prediction (**296 headings, 296 unique, 0 missing**, from 295) hit exactly, which is the point of predicting rather than carrying. `./tools/queue-source-check` → **rc 0, `one queue: [0.4.291] pointer-only, 111 item line(s) frozen across 246 section(s), 203 PROGRESS bullet(s)`** — the pre-commit **R8** trip (`[0.4.291] is not named …`) cleared by the run entry, sections **245 → 246**. All four committed files are **md5-identical worktree↔HEAD**: `CHANGELOG.md cfee8e1757d3268e0699ec9abec53ab2`, `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md a46980ffe36efbd5d57dfb4ea4b3a2ac`, `VERDICT-20261010T093405… b832debea0c5f0d96b56bfd5a05cff26`, `REVIEW-20261010T092834… 423a1bfe45c6c768961c7082fb803a62` — so claim, repository and checkout agree on all three sides. Suites run **on the committed bytes**: `php tests/test_changelog_api.php` → **86 passed / 0 failed** (the file `[0.4.291]` was appended to), `php tests/test_app_version.php` → **39 / 0** (the first heading, and therefore `GLADEX_APP_VERSION`, did not move — the entry is appended at the bottom, as the placement rule requires).
+- **Post-commit readings for `3103230`, all re-read after the commit existed.** `./tools/repo-lint` → **rc 0, `files=358 linted=197 skipped=161`, `changelog-version: 296 heading(s), 296 unique, 9243 citation(s) checked, 0 missing`** — the pre-commit prediction (**296 headings, 296 unique, 0 missing**, from 295) hit exactly, which is the point of predicting rather than carrying. **Correction, measured before this run stopped:** the first write of this line carried `files=356 linted=197` — the *pre-commit* figure, read from a `tail -3` that had cut the header off, so no post-commit `files=` line was actually in hand when the sentence was typed. Re-read in full at HEAD `5bc2606` (2026-10-10T09:44Z): **`files=358 linted=197 skipped=161`** — **358 = 356 + the two mailbox files `3103230` added**, `linted` unchanged at 197 because neither is a lintable extension, `skipped` 159 → 161 with it. Same class of error the queue hunts, caught in its own run rather than left for the next one. `./tools/queue-source-check` → **rc 0, `one queue: [0.4.291] pointer-only, 111 item line(s) frozen across 246 section(s), 203 PROGRESS bullet(s)`** — the pre-commit **R8** trip (`[0.4.291] is not named …`) cleared by the run entry, sections **245 → 246**. All four committed files are **md5-identical worktree↔HEAD**: `CHANGELOG.md cfee8e1757d3268e0699ec9abec53ab2`, `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md a46980ffe36efbd5d57dfb4ea4b3a2ac`, `VERDICT-20261010T093405… b832debea0c5f0d96b56bfd5a05cff26`, `REVIEW-20261010T092834… 423a1bfe45c6c768961c7082fb803a62` — so claim, repository and checkout agree on all three sides. Suites run **on the committed bytes**: `php tests/test_changelog_api.php` → **86 passed / 0 failed** (the file `[0.4.291]` was appended to), `php tests/test_app_version.php` → **39 / 0** (the first heading, and therefore `GLADEX_APP_VERSION`, did not move — the entry is appended at the bottom, as the placement rule requires).
 
 - **The gate, re-read after the commit.** `./tools/promote-dev-to-prod --dry-run --force --format json` → **all four gates `ok`, `ready: true`, `blocked_by: []`, `sha: 3103230`** — note the sha moved with the commit while the verdict's own scope sentence still names `d5d31f3`, which is honest: the *reviewed source* is byte-identical (md5 of the four files above, and no `app/` file changed in `3103230`), so the staleness rule (newest promoted-tree file vs newest verdict) stays satisfied. `./tools/system-status` → **`Overall: ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY`, rc 0**: `git-tree [OK] clean`, `queue-source [OK] … [0.4.291] … 246 section(s)`, `investor-duty [OK] owed=0 unread=0 unreplied=0 open=0`, `failed-units [OK] 0 failed unit(s)` (**no `systemctl reset-failed`, no unit restarted**), `go-compile [OK] 46 module file(s) … (commit 3103230)`, **`promote-gates [OK] promote-ready: verdict, dev-sync, commit-lint and ship-tree all pass (commit 3103230)`**, `SOA:gladex.de [WARN] … mname=placeholder (NEEDS-INVESTOR open)` (investor decision, untouched). `./tools/red-watch` run fresh after the push → **`state=green, passed=26, failed=0, alert=RECOVERED`**; the `red-watch [WARN] … since 2026-10-10T09:31:55Z` row still visible inside `system-status` carries that stale pre-push verdict (A3/A15 were this run's own four uncommitted paths between 09:31Z and the commit) — quoted here as measured rather than smoothed over.
 
 - **STEP 0 re-read at the close:** both `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM messages WHERE direction='investor_to_agent' AND read=0` → **0 dev / 0 prod**; `./tools/inbox-status` → **rc 0, `OK - nothing owed (0 unread, 0 open entries all replied)`**, **80 / 80 / 0 open**, last reply dev **144** / prod **109**; `grep '^## ' INBOX.md | grep -cv HANDLED` → **0** — **no `agent_to_investor` row was written in either database this run, `INBOX.md` is untouched, nothing was marked read**. `./tools/version-check` → **`OK: dev=0.4.28 prod=0.4.28 (match)`** (**0.4.29 never quoted as a version**); `./tools/budget-show` → **2026-10 5.00 / 0.00 / 5.00**, spend **0.00**, free `*-free` models only (`opencode/mimo-v2.6-flash-free` main, `opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free` reviewer), no key configured, **no secret or PII in any prompt, file or commit**. `./tools/healthcheck` → **dev + prod HEALTHY, HTTP 200, both `0.4.28`**.

**Run 878 complete.** All gates green, tree clean, everything pushed.

## STEP 0 — investor duty (paid first)
- `investor_to_agent` unread: **0 dev / 0 prod**; `inbox-status` → `OK - nothing owed (0 unread, 0 open entries all replied)`, 80/80 handled; `grep '^## ' INBOX.md | grep -cv HANDLED` → **0**. Both entries the brief quotes are already struck `~~HANDLED~~` with replies on file (hiring decision dev 143/prod 108; the 2026-10-05 correction). **No row was due → none written, INBOX untouched.**
- **Production is 0.4.28** (`version-check`: dev=0.4.28 prod=0.4.28 match). No note of mine claims 0.4.29 — the only `0.4.29` strings on the box are CHANGELOG's own historical heading.

## The step: the standing `promote-gates [WARN] … verdict STALE` refusal, cleared the sanctioned way
- **Measured, not assumed:** at 09:23:46Z three of four gates were green; `blocked_by: ["verdict"]` (stale by 53844s). `git log 72a7621..HEAD -- app/src/php examples/workflows` → **exactly one line**, `56f78ae` (info.php `--accent-text`, +2/−1).
- **Finding handed to the reviewer, not smoothed over:** dev *and prod* copies of `info.php` were edited **directly** (08:14:18Z / 08:14:33Z) — *before* the repo file (08:16:10Z), no promote — so prod was already serving an unreviewed change; only the staleness rule noticed, afterwards. Queued as **(aw)**.
- **Reviewer (free model `opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free`, 0.00 EUR)**: 3 passes + 1 integrity pass ("which commands did you actually run" — every verdict line is backed by one). Reply persisted verbatim: `mailboxes/reviewer-to-main/VERDICT-20261010T093405-promote-info-contact-accent-text.md`, **APPROVE**, incl. its own WCAG recomputation 6.30:1 / 5.68:1.
- **After:** all four gates `ok`, `ready: true`; a **plain `--dry-run` (no `--force`)** exits **0**; `system-status` → `promote-gates [OK] promote-ready … ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY`; fresh `red-watch` **26/0 green**. Nothing promoted (both envs already match the repo); no app file, tool or suite touched → dev/prod untouched, **0.4.28**.

## Commits (all pushed, CLOSE PROTOCOL 1–3 held)
`3103230` (run, 4 paths staged explicitly) → `5bc2606` (close) → `5db6a08` (correction: a carried `files=356` figure re-read as **358 linted=197 skipped=161** — caught in its own run). `git status --porcelain` → **empty**; `queue-source-check` rc 0 naming `[0.4.291]`; `repo-lint` 296/296/0 missing (prediction hit). **Spend 0.00**, no `rm`, no restart, no DNS, no mail, no key.
