+## v0.124.1 — the repair record must survive the probe that did NOT feed the hub (2026-08-04, R-190)
+
+**v0.124.0's transition record did not reach the hub, and the live run is what showed it.** The
+capability reported degraded for "one cycle" — meaning the probe call that performed the repair. But
+`probeAll` is invoked **independently** by the periodic self-check log and by the collector building a
+host-report. On the demo box the repairing call was the log's (`09:39:34`, journal shows
+`GRANT WAS MISSING AND HAS BEEN SELF-REPAIRED` and `degraded=1`), and the host-report built three
+seconds later found the grant present and sent **`ok`**. The agent's journal had the record; the hub
+had nothing; the operator would have learned nothing.
+
+That is the exact silence R-190 is about, re-created inside its own mitigation — and every unit test
+passed while it was true.
+
+**The fix is a latch on TIME rather than on call count.** A confirmed repair is reported for
+`storeGrantRepairReportWindow` (20 minutes), which comfortably exceeds the 900 s host-report interval,
+so at least one report must carry the transition. It clears on its own — a permanently degraded
+capability would be its own false alarm — and it is per tier.
+
+**Two hollow tests were caught and fixed on the way**, both the same shape this repo keeps finding: a
+test asserting a value it constructed itself, and a test asserting the latch HELPER rather than the
+path that consumes it — whose red-proof duly passed. The decisions now live in
+`storeGrantHealthyVerdict` and `storeGrantRepairedVerdict`, and the tests call those.
