# PORTER (#205) — bugfix milestone ledger (doyle) Operator directive 2026-08-21, verbatim: "using your best judgment, mint a new bugfix milestone which includes #204 among others. dispatch, commune across, and drive it to release publish." — that sentence is ALSO the standing operator acceptance for this milestone's cut at golden-green; relay it verbatim with provenance to deployah at cut time (he scope-checks it himself; the narrow-reading rule still applies to anything beyond this milestone's cut). ## Intake (2026-08-21, all board acts via alchemy) - Milestone minted #205, 9 members attached, GREENLIT cascaded (ack: all nine). - GREENLIT-FORM RECORD: #205 comment c5366990506 — members, exclusions-with-reasons, riders. Deployah verifies the head against THIS record before golden. - MEMBERS: #204 (anchor — ER perch never registers under claude-spt; field defect from v0.58.0 acceptance, census c5366895595) · #199 (ER bringup second face, erhost not up in 30s, 1/20) · #187 (stale control projection refuses valid ER code) · #201 (missing terminal Exit record on kill-vs-natural race) · #196 (access allow POSTURE disagreement — default-open seam) · #202 (mnemonics-json inertness unit + tag, hertz-class) · #172 (PathMismatch verdict self-erases) · #67 (access list parses superseded verb as entity) · #186 (knock evidence line says unknown for answered cross-node knocks). - EXCLUSIONS (recorded in greenlit form): needs-operator items untouchable; eval items stay eval; #143 too big + premise operator-held; #168 held — VERIFIED 2026-08-21 (doyle): NO overlap with unlanded fix/w3-comms-text. At its tip (dc1c7532) the CLI is `--target`/`--triggers`(JSON)/body-from-stdin (cli.rs ~794-812) but trustwarn.rs:250 still teaches positional `spt endpoint monic add {id} ""` — that lane moved the caution's DELIVERY, not the taught syntax. #168 stands, real thin fix, next-batch pick beside #190. NOTE fix/w3-comms-text = 17 commits unlanded (on origin too); rider-eligibility is an assembly-time call, delta recorded before push if taken; #190 first pick for next batch; networking/update cluster deferred for coherence. - RIDERS: hertz IR-50-close lane e02f565f (gated 2026-08-20, doc+test, hold-as-gated, I pick at assembly). IR-1/IR-4: NOT riders — measured 2026-08-21 (doyle), their lane landed 2026-08-04 as 2b33a47/2a7b016/d63f4ce/19d7f79, all ancestors of origin/main (INFRA-REGISTER "CI-RIDER LANE STATE — LANDED"); the earlier "unlanded, evaluate at assembly" sentence was carried forward stale. IR-9 offered to hertz as OPTIONAL (not dispatched); record before push if he takes it. - WAVE 1 DISPATCHED: #204 → todlando (alchemy dispatch + full brief SENT/QUEUED; MEASURE-FIRST: hook-claim authoring site vs registration write · fire-and-forget vs awaited · alarm perch-absent vs perch-slow split; gate expectation: close the e2e vacuity — witness the REAL registration path, not the rig's own perch). #202 → hertz (dispatch + brief QUEUED). Both pushes accepted (durable). - #204 MEASURED + RULED (2026-08-21): root cause = ER endpoint record never created; hook bind hits creation arm (prior=None) on 3-subnet node, assign_home refuses ANCHOR_REFUSED into unread spill file; `registered` stays None but brief emits anyway (verb-gated). All 3 census mechanisms refuted. Write-up: #204 c5367098271, lane fix/204-er-perch-registration @ .worktrees/fix-204, base b88fab2a. MY RULINGS (spot- checked broker.rs:1930 + home.rs:206 at b88fab2a): (1) anchor at BRING-UP, bind does NOT inherit broker anchor — creation refusal is a deliberate scope seam (anchor = default-scope subnet), stays + gets a pin test; (2) adapter half dispatched by ME to perri direct (SENT) — gate brief's perch claim on registration, emit no-perch shape naming refusal; contract sentences ride todlando's doc leg (docs-site harness contract). Riders on todlando's lane: D3 alarm split (absent≠slow, fail-open), e2e replacement (record EXISTS + rostered after REAL bring-up, falsified red at b88fab2a cited in gate report). Gate expectation: witnessed red + seam pin test + doc leg. - #202 GATED PASS (2026-08-21, doyle): lane fix/202-mnemonics-forgery-unit @ d5351e66, base b88fab2a ancestry verified.

HOLD-AS-GATED beside rider e02f565f. hertz ACK: holds #202 + IR-50 unrebased for assembly; IR-9 untaken. GATE RIG STATE (measured 2026-08-21 post-reset): .worktrees/gate-d5351e66 LIVE, target 7.5G warm, POOL-OWNER lane gate-202-doyle @ d5351e66 — kept warm for wave-2/3 gates (next gate takes it over loudly, by the book); an earlier "torn down, pool released" sentence here was false. ASSEMBLY NOTE: unlanded W3 lane also inserts wan.rs tests near d5351e66's hunk — if both ride one head, merge is mine + clippy head. - #204 CORE GATED PASS (2026-08-21, doyle): lane fix/204-er-perch-registration @ f1bd2679, base b88fab2a, UNPUSHED (lives in .worktrees/fix-204 + my local fetch).

HOLD-AS-GATED, PORTER assembly rider (already named in greenlit delta 5367836875). Gate rig stays at dc2143b0, pool gate-ir53-doyle — next lane gate takes over loudly. - perri ADAPTER v0.27.0 CUT + mirrored (f8ec09b): #204 half live-fix, #170 half groundwork. His board #11 (#170 carry) + #12 (#204 bind seam) at ACCEPTANCE = the deferred int arms; I ping him for both field arms after PORTER cut flips fleet, and when each doc publishes (harness-contract sentences = this lane; attr fifth entity = w3 codec fix). - WAVE 2 MECHANISM PASS ACCEPTED + GOs SENT (2026-08-21, post-reset): todlando's source-measured pass at b88fab2a ruled THREE SEPARATE MECHANISMS (my tolerant-arm candidate for #199 REFUTED structurally — session row written at dispatch_spawn strictly before harness's first act; 1/20 corroborates). I spot-checked all three load-bearing cites myself at b88fab2a (brain.rs cold_start io_timeout:None · broker.rs Ok(status) block closes before stamp_reaped() · rc.rs guidance@1732 before probe@1765) — all confirmed. Build order GO'd: #187 first (build now; fail-open probe discipline + terminal_normalize stays ADDITIVE), #201 second (retained-instrument arm on Err(status) path BEFORE fix; I rule fix shape on its evidence; candidate: Exit record for EVERY reap, absent code named not suppressed), #199 last (runtime discriminator A/B/C via GATED daemon_diagnostics — NOT er-instrument's raw brain_log (vacuous-panel trap, that instrument needs repointing before ever run); B fix = bound launch-path Brain per-call wait, absent≠slow split, only after discrimination). GO message SENT (scratchpad wave2-go-todlando.md). - #187 CLOSED ALREADY-FIXED (2026-08-21): todlando REFUSED the build with a source correction of his own pass-1 — the filed mechanism was fixed pre-PORTER on the #182 lane (e8a35829, 2026-08-19, REQ-RC-DRIVER-READ-LIVENESS impl+unit, rides v0.58.0). doyle spot-checked all five cites at b88fab2a (ancestry, driver_of_record body, current_driver routing, both-direction unit pins, registry verdict text) — ALL confirmed; unit pin measured 1/1 non-vacuous (641 filtered). Refusal ACCEPTED (3rd accepted refusal of a GO'd task — protocol standard). Residual (status-absent reads) stays ACCEPTED WITH ITS NUMBER; re-open only on a MEASURED gate-instant absent-status refusal — no new request minted, registry entry is the tripwire. Board: #187 DONE (comment 5367835098), greenlit-form delta on #205 (comment 5367836875). fix-187 worktree torn down by todlando; he moved to #201 instrument-first as GO'd. CRAFT: my GO cited the ordering half and never re-read current_driver's body — both of us verified halves and reported wholes; spot-check must cover the arm that DECIDES. - #201 INSTRUMENT ACCEPTED + FIX RULED (2026-08-21): todlando's three-arm rig at b88fab2a (lane fix/201-terminal-exit-every-reap @ f80b0fb7, unpushed) — clean control 365ms Exit Some(Some(1)) · second-clean control (kills the first-reap-only rig confound) · injected Err arm Exit NONE, row removed, full 20.4s burn with marker rendered; two runs agree; duration ASSERTED. Valve = new SPT_TEST_EXIT_WAIT_ERR (outcome-replacement after real wait; child genuinely reaped). Face confirmed by my own read of broker.rs 6430-6467: if-let Ok gates ExitEvent construction + fanout, stamp_reaped unconditional below. RULED: unconditional emission via match-derived code (Ok=>Some, Err=>None + loudly named error, NEVER 0), ONE composer/fanout, ordering + REQ-BROKER-OUTPUT-BEFORE-EXIT emission point untouched, three arms repinned (injected => code None under generous early-exit bound, elapsed still asserted), REQ-BROKER-EXIT-EVERY-REAP activates ["impl","int"] in the fix commit (unit only if a seam falls out naturally). Ruling SENT (QUEUED).

Built to all six ruling points — verified in diff read (one composer match, EXIT_WAIT_FAILED named at emission site, ordering tag untouched, valve documented vs both siblings, REQ activated ["impl","int"] with no-unit reasoning quoted). HEAVY-at-birth census: full-filter population = 2 sites (nextest.toml:249, golden.yml:134), both carry exit_every_reap.

Fulfillment bodies drafted (scratchpad post-fulfillment.sh) + final greenlit delta drafted (scratchpad 205-final-delta.md) — post ONLY after legs report green; delta names #199 instrument-only + IR-1/IR-4 measured-landed (not riders) + composition. NOTE: local main (8d4c224b) is a STALE pointer (its 3 register-docs commits live on origin lane branches — nothing unpushed); reset to origin/main at board sweep. - ASSEMBLY HANDED OFF (2026-08-21, doyle): legs on e702d4b7 ALL GREEN — clippy 0 · treqs 0 · spt-daemon FULL 1084/1084 no-fail-fast (1 slow, 6 leaky pre-existing; first-attempt attach_resize_capture red = RIG precondition, capture-player.exe fixture never emitted by nextest — third specimen of the class, prebuilt + swept clean) · engine_room_bringup_e2e 12/12. Fulfillment comments posted all eight built members (5369698006/#202, 5369698204/#204, 5369698405/#201, 5369698591/#199, 5369698797/#196, 5369699091/#172, 5369699318/#67, 5369699524/#186). Final greenlit delta = #205 comment 5369701865 (names #199 instrument-only BEFORE push, IR-1/IR-4 not-riders, composition + legs). Branch PUSHED to origin. Handoff SENT live to deployah (scratchpad porter-handoff-deployah.md) with the operator directive VERBATIM + provenance. BOX QUIET on his call — rig gate-d5351e66 idle @ e702d4b7, pool gate-assembly-205-doyle, kept warm for RCA. WAITING: deployah form-verify + golden. - DEPLOYAH INTAKE VERDICT (2026-08-21): parity CHECKS OUT at source (9 greenlit / 8 built / #187 fulfilled / #199 instrument-only recorded, no drop owed). Head NOT release-shaped (no version bump — 5 of last 6 cuts; fold release-shaping into next intake checklist) — he authors the bump ON TOP of e702d4b7, golden ref = one commit above; nothing of ours changes. He required the NEVER-EXECUTED-CELLS list pre-golden (runbook gater-compiles item, was missing from my handoff — checklist it too). ANSWERED (scratchpad never-executed-cells-deployah.md, QUEUED): every new cell's first CI execution is this golden; before sending I closed the assembled-head gap — bins 650/650, store lib 492/492, access_precise_allow_e2e 1/1 (cli.rs composed from 3 lanes, store from 3 — cells now all executed at e702d4b7 itself). Box QUIET. - BUMP AUTHORED (deployah, 2026-08-21): v0.59.0, counter 94 (decoded from published v0.58.0 release.json, not remembered), MINOR justified from observable behavior (#172 renames documented --json field · #67 exit-0 forms become refusals · #204 roster membership change), compat constants proven untouched by name-only diff, lockfile verified BY DIFF (14 first-party pairs). ⚠ THIRD-PARTY VERSION COLLISION LIVE AGAIN: windows-sys @ 0.59.0 in Cargo.lock — counting version strings reads 15 where first-party is 14; by-diff rule is what covers it (v0.39.4/v0.41.0 both misread by counting); he records it in the bump commit message. Golden = his push run, run id pinned at push, gates on that id. WAITING: golden verdict. - GOLDEN RUNNING (2026-08-21): run 32482048369, event push, ref golden/porter-205, CANDIDATE c62904e7 = e702d4b7 + shaping commit (CHANGELOG/Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock only, ZERO .rs) — tag sha = merge sha = tested sha, first time in six cuts. Deployah confirmed twohost push-run property by text-cite (both legs run on push, no second dispatch). His shaping finds: xtask gen porcelain-M was PURE EOL (empty under --ignore-cr-at-eol, reverted — the autocrlf porcelain trap, matches banked memory) · release shape proven by RENDER (binary reports spt 0.59.0). Triage pre-agreed: named-cell red = composition-at-CI-depth mechanism-first; IR-53 expiry red = check SKIP arm + runner uptime FIRST; attach_resize red = fixture prebuild first. Nothing owed while it runs. - GOLDEN GREEN (2026-08-21, run 32482048369, FIRST ATTEMPT): nine jobs success, zero panicked-at in 78544 log lines, four summary rows all-pass (2813 + 2835 + 207 + 192; leaky/slow pre-existing class), ten named new cells sampled PASS on BOTH hosts with real durations. main FF'd b88fab2a -> c62904e7 (non-forced push = structurally ff-only), v0.59.0 TAGGED. FOUR-NAME SHAPE ACHIEVED: ruled sha == main tip == golden ref == tag == c62904e7 — first time in six cuts. Deployah deviation (cargo update --workspace --offline vs runbook's cargo metadata) ACCEPTED — property (workspace-only, third-party untouched, proven by diff) is the rule; RUNBOOK AMENDMENT OWED: docs/golden-head-intake names the property, command demoted to example — file at release-close register sweep with the release-shaping + never-executed-cells checklist items. BOARD SWEEP FIRED: alchemy state #205 acceptance (cascades; #187 terminal skipped; #199 open at ACCEPTANCE is correct — release roundup only promotes CLOSED acceptance requests, so it naturally stays un-DONE). WAITING: deployah publish at counter 94 (thin CI on main holds his box first), then alchemy release v0.59.0 roundup + field acceptance on flipped fleet. - #199 BOARD SHAPE CORRECTED (2026-08-21): the acceptance cascade CLOSED #199 (measured: state CLOSED/COMPLETED, label state: ACCEPTANCE) — my delta's "stays OPEN" was a shape the taxonomy cannot hold (ADR-0004 syncs acceptance to closed-completed; no open+accepted state exists). Ruling substance unchanged, corrected BY REPLACEMENT: #199 comment 5370422564 (instrument-only substance + measured re-open condition = phase verdict from the shipped instrument naming a launch-phase failure, reopened via alchemy citing it verbatim) + correction comment on #205. ROUNDUP GUARD ARMED: #199 is closed- at-acceptance so `release v0.59.0` WILL try to promote it DONE — after the roundup, jump it back (`state #199 acceptance`) with the correction cited. Precedent: #187-residual also lives on a closed issue. GREEN -> his ff-merge, then my board sweep + alchemy roundup + field acceptance (#204 field check: operator ER bringup + receiver interrogation). RED -> RCA-first to me. - RELEASE PUBLISHED + CLOSED (2026-08-21): v0.59.0, counter 94, tag c62904e7, 11 assets, public. Deployah round-trip: /releases/latest resolves, metadata decoded off wire (94 / 0.59.0 / rel-primary-2026 / stable / ipc 1 / abi 1), artifact_sha256 = pre-sign hash, ARMED release verifier 1 passed 2.78s (duration cited = the armed-vs-skip discriminator), update-set flip verified all three platforms. Thin CI green. ALCHEMY ROUNDUP fired: 9 requests DONE; #199 promoted by the sweep as predicted -> GUARD FIRED, jumped back to ACCEPTANCE (comment 5370608401). Deployah absorbed the #199 correction pre-ledger; his ledger banks: unshaped-head CLOSED BY CONSTRUCTION, windows-sys 0.59.0 collision (3rd instance), autocrlf regen trap. REGISTER SWEPT at close: IR-54 filed (3 runbook amendments: release-shaping at intake, never-executed-cells as hand-off artifact, lockfile property-not-command) + IR-50/IR-53 landed-annotations — lane docs/ir54-porter-close @ bee1ab94 PUSHED, next-batch pick. TEARDOWN: rig target reaped (real dir, 0 inbound reparse, +45.2 GB, 108.98->154.15 free), assembly-205 removed, fix-204/201/199 already gone (todlando's wave-2 hold release), deployah's pool+worktree reaped his side. RESIDUAL: gate-d5351e66 husk handle-pinned (source-only, target gone; a process holds crates/spt-daemon — retry later, gate-adc29c7 class). REMAINING (operator-gated): fleet flip to 0.59.0 + #204 field acceptance (operator ER bringup + receiver interrogation, v0.58.0 method); then ping perri #11/#12 field arms. #199 tripwire armed. #194 NEEDS-OPERATOR still pending. Next-batch candidates: #190 (first pick), #168, #206, IR-54, #207 (operator-triaged), w3-comms-text lane (needs line-safety fix first). - #204 FIELD ACCEPTANCE PASS (2026-08-21, HFENDULEAM @ v0.59.0, v0.58.0-census method rerun): operator ER bring-up + receiver interrogation. First attempt was on a HALF-FLIPPED node (operator flipped before updating; spt still 0.58.0 — caught by measuring version FIRST, no verdict issued from it). Post full flip: ENGINE_ROOM_PERCH_ANCHORED home=SPT_MANTLE fired · roster row engine-room ONLINE · info.json complete (home_subnet, sequestered cwd, pid_started_at) · briefing DELIVERED. All three v0.58.0 failure legs reversed same-box same-method. Acceptance comment on #204 (via alchemy). - NEW FIELD FIND -> #208 FILED (2026-08-21): six briefing copies delivered in one burst at the first registering session — one RETAINED row per earlier failed bring-up, no supersession; receiver interrogated (sent zero, received six, progressively stale variants incl. empty-ruleset + anchor-vocab label drift = provenance of pre-fix enqueue). Census comment 5375242414. BACKLOG, next-intake candidate beside #190/#168/#206. - PERRI PINGED (2026-08-21, SENT): fleet-flip trigger for his #11 (#170 carry) + #12 (#204 bind seam) field arms; warned his rigs about the #208 multi-briefing face so it is not misread as his seam. Awaiting his two reports, non-blocking. - PORTER (#205) DRIVE COMPLETE end-to-end: minted -> dispatched -> gated -> assembled -> golden green first attempt -> published v0.59.0 c94 -> board swept -> register swept -> field-accepted. Remaining threads live OUTSIDE the milestone: #208 + next-batch picks (#190 first, #168, #206, IR-54 lane bee1ab94, #207 operator-triaged, w3-comms-text line-safety) · #194 NEEDS-OPERATOR · #199 tripwire armed · gate-d5351e66 husk retry. - #209 FILED (2026-08-21, operator question exposed it): my interrogation send to engine-room should have been REFUSED — CONTEXT.md (ratified 2026-07-28): ER refuses all inbound except replies-to-own-outbound + knocks, no same-node carve-out (the lock's own comment names the same-node agent as THE adversary). Lock exists and is sound (access.rs REQ-ER-INBOUND-LOCK, precedes same-node allow) but the access chain is consulted only on WIRE paths (wan.rs receive, presence probe); local same-node send injects without entering the chain — measured: ENDPOINT_INJECT 739B, zero ENGINE_ROOM_INBOUND_LOCKED. Declare-site/ enforce-site split, legacy-arm-skips-the-seam class. Security seam, careful gate owed. My interrogation method itself rode the hole — future ER interrogations go through operator relay (v0.58.0 method) until #209 lands. Operator ephemeral-briefing guidance recorded on #208 (session-scoped ephemerality composed with supersession). - PERRI FIELD ARMS REPORTED (2026-08-21): #12 CLOSED — bind seam proven vs core 0.59.0 (3 arms incl. real ANCHOR_REFUSED on this node's 3-subnet rig) with the pre-fix 0.26.2 POSITIVE CONTROL (refusal assertions fail on the defective binary = assertions bite), same input same daemon. #11 stays ACCEPTANCE on a PUBLISHED rule: same-node = ratified never-warn arrival, node-local rig cannot witness the warning; his negative (raw poll envelope, no trust-warning attr, monic-less admitted sender) pins absence in CORE not his re-render. OPEN THREAD (mine to time): #11 cross-node arm needs a SECOND node flipped to 0.59.0 + monic-less sender — call it when fleet catches up. Doc re-checks: harness-contract sentences published + match; attr fifth entity correctly NOT at 0.59.0 (rides unlanded w3 lane); his decode stays scoped, re-check date recorded his side. - PERRI #14 DRI RULING + DOCS LANE (2026-08-21): 'correlated reply admitted with no rule of its own' ruled GENERAL contract (REQ-SEC-1 title clause, ADR-0009; precedes rules/modes/store, survives degrade per ADR-0053; ER lock = strictest consumer, not owner) — his docs-gap case (2): general sentence existed publicly only as the ER instance. Amended knocking.md §Two-way reach ('What --send-only does not bar: replies'), doc stage activated on REQ-SEC-1, treqs 0, lane docs/reply-exemption-general @ 0c1de40a PUSHED — next-batch rider beside IR-54 lane bee1ab94. Hint nuance sent: teach 'they can answer what you send', never a permanent back-channel; correlation width is implementation, unstated. ## Drive loop (the standing path to release publish) builder reports → my gate per lane (isolated worktree, targeted suites + compile-gate, diff read, treqs) → pick onto assembly head off current main (>= 4661bc9d) → final sweep → fulfillment comments → greenlit-form delta check (riders named BEFORE push) → push assembly branch → hand to deployah (he re-verifies form legs, fires golden) → box quiet on his call → verdict: GREEN → ff-merge (deployah drives, named) → board acceptance sweep → relay operator acceptance VERBATIM (the directive above + provenance) → deployah cuts (provability-bar, armed release_verify_e2e cited by duration) → alchemy release DONE roundup → field acceptance on the flipped fleet (#204's field check: operator ER bringup, receiver interrogation — same method as v0.58.0's). RED → RCA-first to me, signatures not counts, mechanism before rerun rulings. ## Adjacent (not PORTER members, tracked here so they are not lost) - W3-LANE LINE-SAFETY DEFECT (found 2026-08-21 answering perri Q3): fix/w3-comms-text's trust-warning attr carries LITERAL newlines (compose_trust_warning 3-line block; event_attr_escape maps only & < > "), violating the codec's line-framed invariant — emit.rs:448 "one line, always" pin only covers monic JSON (its \n is the 2-char escape); digest.rs:430/472 line-iterates. RULED: attr codec grows ONE entity — escape normalizes \r\n|\r→\n then \n→ AFTER amp step; unescape decodes BEFORE amp-last. Fix must ride the w3 lane BEFORE it lands/publishes (docs-site attr-rule amendment with it). Dispatch: todlando, sequenced after #204 core lane (or with wave 2) — the w3 lane cannot be a PORTER rider until this is in. Perri answered (2026-08-21): keep his trust-warning-scoped decode, no
in attrs ever; adapters on mnemonics-json unaffected. - perri #204 adapter half: implemented per his report (brief gated on registration, quoting daemon bytes, bringup idle assert gated) + #170 frame ( sibling leading the message, digest span carried). Units then his gate. His Q1/Q2 on #170 answered pre-reset (his reference); Q3 answered above. ## Standing facts - main = 4661bc9d (v0.58.0 tag b88fab2a rides it; latest published cut, counter 93). - Node HFENDULEAM fully flipped 0.58.0 (broker+coordinator). - #202 board item ≠ node #202 confusion: the member #202 is mnemonics-json. - Pending elsewhere: #194 NEEDS-OPERATOR · gate-adc29c7 residual dir handle-pinned · 15 brain stall-evictions watch (restart wave artifact, was flat at last read). - ROOT POOL: CLAIMED 2026-08-21 by the root tree itself (lane root-w3-comms-doyle, branch fix/w3-comms-text, base dc1c7532) after todlando hit the vanished-gate-204 refusal from main-tree xtask. Claimed-not-proven: enforcement speaks at the next root build (none fired yet — box-quiet). Root checkout = fix/w3-comms-text. - KEYSTONE discipline throughout; pool claims from lane worktrees; teardown by the book. - DISK EVENT (2026-08-21): C: hit 0 bytes mid-#172 sweep (todlando's rustc LNK1180 = environment, not code). He reaped his own held lanes' targets (#199/#201/#204) → 63.9 GB; I classified (all real dirs, inbound reparse sweep CLEAN across every worktree target) and reaped 202-mnemonics/ir50-register-close/ir52-cold-boot-instant targets: 62.28 → 137.74 GB measured. GATE RIG gate-d5351e66 (44.2 GB) KEPT warm. ALL held-lane targets now cold — any re-gate rebuilds; commits/branches/worktrees untouched. Golden preflight headroom restored.
