THE RULING WAS NEITHER OPTION AS FRAMED. Both offered answers - narrow the gate, or leave it and write waivers - argued about the gate, and the gate was never the problem. DIAGNOSIS, from live source: golden_currency_gate.py never looks at the push. It compares the controller's newest CHANGELOG heading against this repo's bake evidence and returns the same verdict whatever you are pushing - correct for a standing invariant, wrong as a push gate. And controller_gates.py had NO golden-currency entry at all. So the repo where a release happens never checked, and the repo that cannot create the debt was refused on every push. 18 of the last 24 pushes here touched no code - measured, and the new classifier agrees EXACTLY - most of them by construction, because the controller's code is in one repo and its register lives in this one. SIX of those 18 were bake records, so the push that PAYS the debt is itself documents-only: the gate was blocking its own cure. Not the waiver its docstring prescribes: that clause was written for a release nobody wants a golden for. R-417 was a release we DID want a golden for, on a night the runbook forbade baking. A waiver would have recorded a lie. RULING: block the push that can create the debt, notify the push that cannot. The gate's logic, exit codes and wording are BYTE-IDENTICAL. Only the consequence changed, for one gate, on one kind of push, with a loud ADVISORY block so nothing goes quiet. R-242's vouch half is amended in place to say it is UNTOUCHED and still open - a baked-but-unvouched golden still passes both the gate and the new notice. Do not read R-404's closure as closing it. FILED: R-418 - this runner's docstring listed ELEVEN gates while THIRTEEN were registered; one-register and closed-register ran undocumented since 2026-08-24. Enumeration fixed here, the correspondence is still unenforced. R-419 - observations_gate.py accepts an item whose body merely CONTAINS "NOT-A-FINDING", even in prose disclaiming it; found by accident when a planted test observation passed and my live validation proved nothing. R-420 - controller_gates.py could not express a non-blocking gate at all before today. Register: OPEN 171 -> 172, CLOSED 158 -> 160.
documentation/backlog/
OPEN-ITEMS.md is the register of open work and the file to read first — it holds only what is
open, one row per item, every row with a state and an owner. ROADMAP.md is the full history and
reasoning behind the R-n IDs, including shipped and killed items; an ID is minted there, and a new
instance of an existing item attaches to that ID rather than getting its own.
The rest of this folder: verified-LIVE findings with implementable fix plans that are not yet
implemented. Preserved here
(instead of on git branches) per the trunk-based, no-branches rule — the fix itself is implemented later
directly on main, during a normal/supervised session.
-
FIX-M18-NOTES.md — dump re-validation runs every 5 min (perf). FIXED in controller v0.62.0 @
f8afe5c(2026-06-14). (was on the deletedfelhom-controllerbranchfix/m18-dump-validation-cache.) -
FIX-M19-NOTES.md —
deriveStackNamemisattribution edge (low-incidence correctness). FIXED in controller v0.62.0 @6bab68b(2026-06-14). (was on the deleted branchfix/m19-stackname-crossref.) -
FOLLOWUP-golden-default-controller-tag.md — the golden bakes a stale controller (
:0.43.0when queued; had rotted again to:0.85.1by resolution). FIXED in felhom-agent @ceca355(2026-07-03):build-golden.shv2.0.0 makes the controller tag a MANDATORY argument (a required arg cannot rot) and golden 0.98.3 was baked + clean-room-validated (bake → first-boot-current → self-manage → app deploy, on the drill VM — no supervised touch of live guests needed) + published + vouched. Evidence:../audits/DRILL-golden-098-2026-07-03.md.
Related: the live-drive fixspec (../audits/live-drive-fixspec-2026-06-14.md) carries the deferred
supervised items F9 (HDD provisioning/guest-attach), F20-BUG2 (durable_id scheme), F20-BUG3 (async
mkfs) — to be implemented in the agent/golden supervised session.
