Month:       2026-10
Allowance:   5.00 €
Spent:       0.00 € (no October charge recorded anywhere — gladex.de renews at 1.50/mo, renewal date NOT on file, raised as NEEDS-INVESTOR in REPORT.md §14, so this figure may understate a known recurring cost)
Remaining:   5.00 €

Log:
  - 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.

All readings match predictions (the R8 trip is expected — my PROGRESS entry clears it). Appending the run entry **before** the commit:
$ cd /data/repo && cat >> agent-logs/PROGRESS.md <<'EOF'

### Run 890 — `[0.4.302]` (queued gap 8): `hire-agent` refuses an `email_note` that says nothing, and logs the override — suite 154 → 178, reviewer APPROVE

**STEP 0, done first, re-read fresh (not inherited):** `sqlite3 /opt/startup/dev/data/messages.db "SELECT COUNT(*) … read=0"` → **0**, same on `/opt/startup/prod/data/messages.db` → **0**; `./tools/inbox-status` → **rc 0, `OK - nothing owed (0 unread, 0 open entries all replied)`**, `80 / 80 / 0 open`, last reply **dev 145 / prod 110**; `grep -c '^## ' INBOX.md` → **80**, `grep '^## ' INBOX.md | grep -cv HANDLED` → **0**. So there was **nothing to reply to**: **no `agent_to_investor` row written in either DB, nothing marked read, `INBOX.md` untouched** — an empty inbox is answered by the measurement, not by a status row. The two RECENT INBOX entries in this run's brief are both `~~HANDLED~~` in the file itself (hiring decision 2026-10-04, prod-version correction 2026-10-05: **0.4.28 is the version this desk quotes**, and `./tools/version-check` below says the same).

**Delivered — run 889's queued gap 8, taken deliberately as this run's one step.** Pip's item 8 (`mailboxes/scout-notes/` + `2026-10-02-hire-agent-validation.md`): *"`email_note` hatch is weak — accepts any non-empty string after `.strip()`; the code comment says the note 'has to actually say something', but one character satisfies it."* Two changes, both small:
- **The note-quality rule** (`tools/hire-agent`, a separate block right after the unchanged binding rule): on the hatch path only — local-part differs from the id **and** the note is a non-blank string — the note must be **at least 10 characters and contain a letter** (`len(_note) < 10 or not any(c.isalpha() for c in _note)`, Unicode-aware on purpose so a German note with umlauts passes). Two boundaries kept out on purpose: a missing/blank note stays **the binding rule's** error (so a request fails on exactly one message and `assert_only_error` never compares two rules at once), and a note beside an **id-matching** address is unread rather than policed — this is the escape hatch's quality, not a general note-quality rule.
- **The override is logged, not silent** (the second half of Pip's recommendation): `propose` prints `OVERRIDE: email local-part differs from id, justified by email_note` after `STAGED:`, only when the local-part really differs, so an approve-or-reject reader sees the exception on the artefact they approve.

- **The suite: 154 → 178 passed / 0 failed, section V + control W.** Three weak notes (`"x"`, `"too short"` = 9 chars, `"1234567890"` = 10 digits), each under **its own id** (the D discipline) and each refused with `assert_only_error` on **this** rule alone with nothing staged; the **boundary** fixture `"same human"` (exactly 10 characters, has a letter) staging **with** the `OVERRIDE:` line; the **scope** fixture (a `"x"` note beside an id-matching address) staging **without** it; and one assertion **per live staged proposal** that the tightening reddens nothing (ids globbed from `hiring/queue/`, never spelled into the file — the HR guard's rule). Control **W** strips the rule's own block from an `ast.parse`d copy (sed range anchored on its comment **and** its own message), shows the one-character note then **staging**, proves the plant wrote only into the sandbox, checks the live tool's md5 against `START_MD5`, and re-runs the live tool to show the refusal is back. An earlier draft of W's sed end-pattern matched too little and ran the range to EOF (the stripped copy validated nothing) — caught by W3 going red, fixed by anchoring on the full message; the control caught its own broken plant, which is what controls are for.

- **Reviewer gate: `VERDICT: APPROVE`**, requested as `mailboxes/main-to-reviewer/` + `REVIEW-20261011T044500-hire-agent-email-note.md` and persisted as `mailboxes/reviewer-to-main/` + `VERDICT-20261011T044500-hire-agent-email-note.md` (reviewer model `opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free`, cost **0.00 EUR**, **two turns** — the reviewer's step budget expired after seven commands and the rest ran in a continuation of the same session, both turns reproduced in the verdict file). It re-ran the subject suite (**178 / 0**), all four neighbours (**125 / 0**, **86 / 0**, **54 / 0**, **464 / 0**), both live proposals (**VALID**, exit 0), `git status --porcelain -- hiring/queue` (**empty**), `regression-run --list` (**99**) and healthcheck (**0.4.28** both envs), and answered the discrimination question with its own probes: a blank note beside a differing local-part reports **only** the binding rule, a 9-character or 10-digit note **only** the new rule. Findings: none. **Tool-script change, not a promote review**: nothing under `app/src/php` or `examples/workflows` changed, so there was nothing to promote and no promote was performed.

- **Readings, all pre-commit and stated as such.** `python3 -c "import ast; ast.parse(open('tools/hire-agent').read())"` → **rc 0**; `bash tests/test_hire_agent.sh` → **178 / 0** (opening value 154 / 0); `php tests/test_changelog_mobile.php` → **125 / 0**; `php tests/test_changelog_api.php` → **86 / 0**; `php tests/test_applications_hr.php` → **54 / 0**; `bash tests/test_registry_coverage.sh` → **464 / 0** (log `/tmp/opencode/regcov-890-pre.log`, rc 0); `./tools/regression-run --list` → **99 suite(s)**, none added (the 100th stays reserved for `GETTING_STARTED.md` `keep`); `./tools/queue-source-check` → **rc 1, `[0.4.302] is not named in agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`** — the expected **R8** trip, cleared by this entry naming **`[0.4.302]`**; `./tools/red-watch` → **`state=red, passed=17 failed=9`** = **A3, A4–A8, A15** (this run's own dirty tree + the R8 trip, all clearing on the commit), **A12/A30** = `identity-run@aylin.service` (**deliberately not forced**); `./tools/healthcheck` → **dev + prod HEALTHY, HTTP 200, both `0.4.28`**; `./tools/version-check` → **`OK: dev=0.4.28 prod=0.4.28 (match)`**; `./tools/budget-show` → **2026-10 5.00 / 0.00 / 5.00**, spend **0.00**.

- **Scope and safety, one line each:** git sees **seven paths** — `tools/hire-agent` (the rule + the `OVERRIDE:` print), `tests/test_hire_agent.sh` (section V + control W), `tools/REGISTRY.md` (exit-1 list, contract paragraph, one new rules bullet), `hiring/REQUEST-FORMAT.md` (the hatch's rule line), `CHANGELOG.md` (`[0.4.302]`), the review request, the verdict file, and this entry — staged **explicitly by path** (`git status --porcelain` read immediately before the add, `git diff --cached --name-only` immediately after), **never `git add -A`** (this worktree is shared with sibling desks). **No `app/` file edited → nothing to promote**: dev and prod untouched, both **0.4.28**, both already matching the repo. **`hiring/queue/` untouched** (md5 `c9c52f08…` / `dfc109c3…`, both proposals still `status=proposed` — approving or withdrawing one is the **investor's** move). **No `rm`/`rmdir`/`unlink`/`rename`/`chmod` at all this run**, and 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 `systemctl reset-failed`, no timer changed, no crontab change, no DNS write, no mail sent, no paid API, no API key configured, spend 0.00**, free `*-free` models only.

- **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 this run (closing readings + push) re-appends before commit #2.

- **Queue — next small step (read this first):** **`[0.4.302]` is landed — Pip's nine gaps are now all closed from this desk** (3 → `[0.4.301]`, 8 → this run; **6 stays the investor's** — seat/role uniqueness is a business decision this desk never invents). The next small step, in order: (1) **the carried PII observation, as its own deliberate run** — this file's **run 886** deliverable-verification bullet contains two real applicants' **birthdate values** (inside the `grep -nEi` pattern list written to *prove* the note was PII-clean — the check works, and the pattern list is the one place it fails); redact those two values in place with its own measurement (`php tests/test_applications_hr.php` and the leak grep, **before and after**), never as a drive-by inside another run's change, and never repeating the values anywhere; (2) the day the `GETTING_STARTED.md` **keep/fold/retire** answer arrives (STEP 0 above: **0 unread / 0 owed** — not arrived), execute it as its own small step with its own measurements; **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** (same for `test_getting_started.sh` and `GETTING-STARTED.md`); **(93)**/**(97)(a)** first if the investor answers `hiring/queue/*.json` (2 proposed: `marco-steiner`, `ruben-stoll`) — **withdrawing or approving a proposal is never this desk's move**; **A28** when its three owners (`ce9dcae`, `f327f9b`, `f0a8660`) document their code — never documented from this desk; **A12**/**A30** clear on aylin's next green fire — **do not `systemctl reset-failed`**; **(av)(d)** after the `REPORT.md` §14 ownership sign-off (**still no `rm` without it**); **Pip's other escalation** — the mail-policy research for Aylin — stays **§14-blocked** and therefore **not** this desk's to self-serve; then **(i)** the operator's 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). **Do not re-derive Pip's nine gaps, do not re-harden the validator without a measured defect, and do not add the future-date half as a drive-by** — it is recorded as a decision in `tools/REGISTRY.md` and endorsed by the reviewer; take it only as its own run with its own suite section and its own reviewer gate, and then only if somebody measures a real harm from it. Re-open a closed gap only on a measured regression: a `review` that prints a file outside `hiring/queue/`, an INVALID request exiting 0, a `status` outside the enum reading `VALID`, a non-string raising, an undocumented key reaching `hiring/queue/`, a birthdate the calendar does not have reading `VALID`, or **a one-character `email_note` staging a differing local-part** (the block's `if` present but dead, or the `any(c.isalpha …)` conjunct dropped — control W is the shape of that check). **(ax)**, **(e)** and the drift-verify line stay **closed**; **(aw)** stays landed in `[0.4.294]` — never test an append against the live `/data/agent-logs/promote-ledger.jsonl` (point `GLADEX_PROMOTE_LEDGER` at a sandbox path); the `promote-gates` verdict watch stays **closed** (reads `[OK] promote-ready`; re-open only on a measured `[WARN]`, and **NEVER `--force` a stale verdict**).

All predictions hit. Appending the close entry before commit #2:

### Run 890 — CLOSE (2026-10-11) — `[0.4.302]` landed at `eb55760`, pushed `bebd564..eb55760`, every post-commit reading hit its prediction, tree clean
**STEP 0 re-read at the close:** unread `investor_to_agent` = **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 145 / prod 110** unchanged; `grep -c '^## ' INBOX.md` → **80**, `grep '^## ' INBOX.md | grep -cv HANDLED` → **0**. **No database write this run at all — no `agent_to_investor` row in either DB, `INBOX.md` untouched, nothing marked read** (there was nothing unread and nothing open).

**Delivered (run 889's queued gap 8, and with it every actionable one of Pip's nine):** `tools/hire-agent` now refuses an `email_note` that says nothing. The rule is a separate block after the unchanged binding rule, read **only on the hatch path** (local-part differs from the id **and** the note is a non-blank string) and demanding **at least 10 characters containing a letter** (`any(c.isalpha …)`, Unicode-aware, so a German note with umlauts passes); a blank or missing note still yields **only** the binding rule's message, and a weak note beside an id-matching address is unread rather than policed. `propose` also prints **`OVERRIDE: email local-part differs from id, justified by email_note`** after `STAGED:`, so the escape hatch is logged, not silent. `tests/test_hire_agent.sh` **154 → 178 passed / 0 failed** (section **V**: three weak notes under their own ids, the `"same human"` boundary staging with the override line, the scope case staging without it, one assertion per live proposal by glob; control **W**: the block stripped from an `ast.parse`d copy — a broken sed range in the first draft ran to EOF and **W3 caught it** — the plant stages, sandbox-only writes, live md5 unchanged, live tool refuses again). **Reviewer APPROVE** (`opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free`, 0.00 EUR, two turns — the reviewer's step budget expired mid-review and the rest ran in a continuation of the same session; both turns persisted verbatim).

**Commit / push:** **`eb55760`**, staged **by path** (exactly `tools/hire-agent`, `tests/test_hire_agent.sh`, `tools/REGISTRY.md`, `hiring/REQUEST-FORMAT.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, the review request, the verdict file, `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` — read from `git status --porcelain` before the add and `git diff --cached --name-only` after, **never `git add -A`**); one `git push origin main` → **`bebd564..eb55760 main -> main`**, rc 0, `git status -sb` → `## main...origin/main`, `git rev-list --count origin/main..main` → **0**. The run entry above was appended **before** that commit (rule 1); **this close entry is appended before commit #2** (rule 2); neither was ever `git checkout --`-ed, staged-only or parked in `/tmp` (rules 2–3).

**Post-commit readings, all taken after `eb55760` existed, every one hitting its prediction:** `./tools/repo-lint` → **rc 0, `sha=eb55760528`, `files=374 linted=198 skipped=176`, `307 headings, 307 unique, 9577 citation(s), 0 missing, 13332 bare token(s)`, `go-compile 47 clean`** — files **372 → 374** (the two mailbox files), `linted` **198 unchanged** (no new script). `./tools/queue-source-check` → **rc 0, `OK - one queue: [0.4.302] pointer-only, 111 item line(s) frozen across 257 section(s), 203 PROGRESS bullet(s), 2 path token(s)`** — the pre-commit **R8** trip cleared by this entry naming **`[0.4.302]`**. `./tools/system-status` → **`Overall: 1 CHECK(S) FAILED`**, that one being `failed-units` (aylin's unit); `git-tree [OK] clean`, `queue-source [OK] … [0.4.302]`, `promote-gates [OK] promote-ready … (commit eb55760)`, `deploy-path [OK] ledger OK - 46 file(s)`, `investor-duty [OK] owed=0 unread=0 unreplied=0 open=0`, `SOA:gladex.de [WARN] … mname=placeholder` (investor decision, untouched). `./tools/red-watch` → **`state=red, passed=24 failed=2` = A12, A30 only** — **A3 cleared by the push, A4–A8 and A15 by the commit**. `./tools/healthcheck` → **dev + prod HEALTHY, HTTP 200, both `0.4.28`**; `./tools/version-check` → **`OK: dev=0.4.28 prod=0.4.28 (match)`**; `./tools/budget-show` → **2026-10 5.00 / 0.00 / 5.00**, spend **0.00**. `bash tests/test_hire_agent.sh` → **178 / 0** and `bash tests/test_registry_coverage.sh` → **464 / 0** post-commit (log `/tmp/opencode/regcov-890-post.log`, rc 0). Live behaviour re-probed after the commit: both proposals **VALID** / exit 0 / `status=proposed`, `git status --porcelain -- hiring/queue` **empty**.

**Reds at close, unchanged on purpose:** **A12**/**A30** are `identity-run@aylin.service` — **no `systemctl reset-failed`**, they clear on her own green fire. **A28** is not in the set. Nothing else is red.

**Changed files (this run):** `tools/hire-agent`, `tests/test_hire_agent.sh`, `tools/REGISTRY.md`, `hiring/REQUEST-FORMAT.md`, `CHANGELOG.md` (`[0.4.302]`), `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md`, `mailboxes/main-to-reviewer/REVIEW-20261011T044500-hire-agent-email-note.md`, `mailboxes/reviewer-to-main/VERDICT-20261011T044500-hire-agent-email-note.md`. **Not touched:** `hiring/queue/*` (both proposals still `proposed` — the investor's seat), `INBOX.md`, messages.db (both), every production path, `app/`, `examples/workflows/`, `tests/system_status.md`, `REPORT.md`.

**Next run:** start with STEP 0, then the queue bullet above — **the carried PII observation as its own deliberate run** (run 886's bullet holds two real applicants' birthdate values; redact in place with the leak grep and `php tests/test_applications_hr.php` measured **before and after**), or the first row below it if the investor has answered. **Gap 6 stays the investor's; the future-date half stays a recorded decision, not a drive-by.**

Run complete. Summary:

## STEP 0 (done first, before anything else)
- **0 unread `investor_to_agent` rows** in both DBs (dev and prod), `./tools/inbox-status` → **rc 0 "OK — nothing owed"**, `INBOX.md`: 80 entries / 80 handled / 0 open, last reply **dev 145 / prod 110**.
- Both RECENT INBOX entries in the brief are already marked `~~HANDLED~~` in the file. **No reply was owed, so no `agent_to_investor` row was written** — an empty inbox is answered by the measurement, not by a status row. Verified fresh at run start *and* at run close.

## The step delivered (run 889's queued gap 8, and with it every actionable one of Pip's nine validator gaps)
**`[0.4.302]` — `tools/hire-agent` now refuses an `email_note` that says nothing:**
- The differing-local-part hatch used to accept *any* non-empty string after `.strip()` — `"x"` was a full justification for a mailbox under a different name than the id. Now the note needs **≥10 characters and a letter** (Unicode-aware), read **only on the hatch path**; a blank/missing note still yields *only* the binding rule's error, so a request fails on exactly one rule.
- The override is **logged, not silent**: `propose` prints `OVERRIDE: email local-part differs from id, justified by email_note` after `STAGED:`.
- **`tests/test_hire_agent.sh` 154 → 178 passed / 0 failed** (section V + control W). The control earned its keep immediately: my first sed range matched too little and ran to EOF — **W3 caught it**.
- **Reviewer gate: `VERDICT: APPROVE`** (`opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free`, 0.00 EUR; the reviewer's step budget expired mid-review, the remainder ran in a continuation of the same session — both turns persisted verbatim in `VERDICT-20261011T044500-hire-agent-email-note.md`).
- Neighbours: regcov **464/0**, changelog mobile **125/0**, api **86/0**, applications-hr **54/0**. `hiring/queue/` untouched (both proposals still `proposed` — the investor's move). Nothing under `app/` → no promote.

## Close protocol
- Run entry appended **before** commit #1 (`eb55760`), close entry appended **before** commit #2 (`bb6dae7`), both pushed (`bebd564..bb6dae7`), and `git status --porcelain` is **empty** — `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` is committed, not staged, not reverted.
- Post-commit readings all hit their predictions: repo-lint rc 0 (307/307/0 missing), queue-source-check rc 0 (R8 cleared by `[0.4.302]`), healthcheck dev+prod **0.4.28** (the corrected figure — 0.4.29 is quoted nowhere), spend **0.00 €**, reds down to **A12/A30** (aylin's own unit — deliberately not force-cleared).

**Next run's queue** (in `PROGRESS.md`): the carried PII observation as its own deliberate run — run 886's bullet contains two real applicants' birthdate values, to be redacted with before/after measurements — or the first row below it if the investor answers.
