admin ae59c31a84 R-459 CLOSED (MariaDB converts itself, proven by harness + live), golden 0.236.0 (R-467), the golden waiver (R-468)
Operator rulings 2026-09-13, both shipped the same day:
- MariaDB finishes its own conversion (catalog eec1228/bd32830/3525e35). Harness E3/E3b `proven`
  with engine_state_after "already upgraded to 12.3.3-MariaDB [exit=1]", the skip line gone, C3
  still `failed`; landed on demo-hp through the real 15-min cycle, nothing recreated, one deliberate
  restart logged "MariaDB upgrade not required" with the app serving. Evidence:
  documentation/audits/r459-close-2026-09-13/. The engine-major rule + gate keep every engine
  inside its major until Slice 4 (R-448) — removal tracked as R-469.
- Goldens on a cadence, not per release. golden_currency_gate.py reads a dated waiver
  (documentation/tests/golden-waiver.yml, <= 14 days, row-bound): valid + BEHIND -> loud advisory,
  exit 0; expired -> red again naming the date; UNRECORDED (R-385) never covered; malformed -> 2,
  never 0. Tests cases 5-15 incl. the R-421 decoy; red-proof old-vs-new on the real behind tree.
  R-242's vouch half stays open. Cadence in RUNBOOK-manual-build.md §4.2 + the checklist.
- Golden 0.236.0 baked, round-tripped, vouched, floor raised 0.232.0 -> 0.236.0
  (documentation/tests/golden-0.236.0-2026-09-13/) — the last per-release bake; the waiver was
  issued AFTER it landed. No --no-verify anywhere in this session.

Rows: R-459 CLOSED, R-467 CLOSED, R-242 narrowed; R-468/R-469/R-470/R-471 opened. 09 §3 gains
decisions 5 and 6; STATUS items 11 and 12 closed; CONTEXT records the cadence ruling.

"""test_golden_currency_gate.py — R-410's red-proof, shipped as a test.
WHAT IT PINS. Until 2026-09-01 `golden_currency_gate.py` matched `EVIDENCE_RE` against `os.listdir`
and read nothing inside the directory, so
mkdir documentation/tests/golden-9.9.9-2026-01-01
turned the gate GREEN with no bake behind it. That was noticed while the 0.230.0 bake was running —
the evidence directory was created BEFORE the bake finished, and the gate would have passed at that
moment. **A directory name is a label; `GOLDEN_SHA256=<64 hex>` is a fact only a completed publish
produces.**
This is the gate's own instrument check: an empty directory must FAIL, a real bake log must PASS, and
a log with no sha line must FAIL. Without the last two, "it fails on an empty directory" would be
satisfied by a gate that fails on everything.
Run: python3 scripts/test_golden_currency_gate.py
Exit 0 all pass · 1 a case failed.
2026-09-13: the WAIVER (Scenarios E-H of the task that built it) is tested below in `waiver_cases`,
against a synthetic tree through the gate's GOLDEN_GATE_* seam — a valid waiver passes with the
advisory PRESENT; an expired one convicts and NAMES the date; a valid one does NOT save an
unrecorded golden (R-385); a 15-day, absent-expiry, unparseable, bad-row and empty-reason waiver
each return 2; and the R-421 decoy (a file saying only `expires`) returns 2.
