Merge chat-eval candidate harness onto current master

Brings the chat-catalog eval harness from the candidate line
(b59e295c7f plus setup fixes 4a375ecf21) onto current master, so evals
measure master's product. Master is the source of truth for product
behavior: conflicting hunks keep master, candidate-only behavior is
kept only where master lacks it.

Candidate-only product behavior kept:
- strict team-catalog preview/install OpenAPI request bodies (e8e965da36)
- yielded current-conversation reply recovery (225145192e)
- completion feedback guidance for returned resource links
- get_task_history scope guidance (4713327d22)
- OpenCode finish diagnostics (17c89f48f6, 7bbb1939c8, e72803a2b6, 76918553c8)

Candidate behavior dropped for master's later design:
- OpenCode configured environment ordering (07eb8e67ce; master #19319)
- raw audit hash on the tool approval card (fd69dde707; master #19509).
  The app-review case now reads the hash through the copy control.

Merge seams fixed: artifact reader accepts both API shapes, chat run
evidence mocks include getRunObservation, failure-capture and composer
attachment tests follow master's code.

+# Chat catalog Product E2E evaluation goal
+
+Date: 2026-10-26
+
+## Refreshed user steering — 2026-10-28 UTC
+
+The user merged credential-custody PR #17949 and asked to resume meaningful human chat feature journeys on the freshly verified merged production baseline. Prioritize sensible evals and a small passing pilot before wider runs, then continue toward broad passing coverage. Exercise real human commands, actual agent execution and independently verified product outcomes; fixture setup must not perform the tested action. No new numerical success threshold or blanket retry budget is introduced by this update.
+
+The proposed pilot uses two previous genuine passes as explicitly requested new-baseline controls, plus three unused useful project/task journeys. Preserve all earlier attempts and correction limits. The prior production50b measurements are historical evidence for this refreshed baseline, not new proof: no old pass silently carries into the new rate. Record the exact new production/eval-source/model identity and actual results before crediting anything. Unmerged core dependencies remain blocked; the summarizer predicate correction remains unaccepted.
+
+GitHub Actions on the existing AWS fleet and the requested OpenCode/OpenRouter model remain the execution lane. Use the existing Evals history and renderer. The original goal and earlier steering below remain preserved where not superseded.
+
+## Authoritative user steering — 2026-10-27
+
+The existing Evals website and family renderer/history are the primary delivery surface: [Evals hub](https://pages.paperclip.ing/evals/) and [Product E2E history](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/). Retire the separate custom local HTML as the delivery approach; retain it only as historical evidence. The [published historical partial Codex campaign](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/historical-local-codex-chat-catalog-20261027-158measured-86unrun/) contains158 actually measured IDs,17 original initial passes,141 first-attempt failures and159 retained measurements;86 IDs remain unrun in that historical lane. These are original one-time local outcomes, not current-source/OpenCode qualification. There are238 callback implementations without declared gaps and six incomplete or blocked journeys. All244 are registered, but registration and prerequisite probes do not establish complete intended E2E coverage or verified behavior.
+
+The [published OpenCode setup result](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-40530790741-1/) records actual framework attempt 40530790741: tasks.create-backlog initial 1 failed setup before the canonical query. 243 remote initials remain; no canonical chat or feature grading completed. The report was verified rendered in the browser using the existing Product history renderer. Automatic setup hello provider usage/cost is unknown, not zero. The same maximum-one coherent correction budget remains. Two earlier host-only qualification operations consumed no case ordinal.
+
+All new local eval admissions are stopped. Already-active local children may finish their existing work and cleanup; no further local initial, final-B, infrastructure-health or provider qualification launches are authorized. Preserve the complete local measurement/ordinal histories and original evidence as a historical lane.
+
+All future eval execution must run in GitHub Actions on the existing AWS fleet, allowing its normal Spot or On-Demand fallback as directly authorized by the user on2026-10-27 at15:21UTC, using the new Paperclip runner **OpenCode** provider through **OpenRouter**, model **`deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`**. Record and verify the actual AWS host lifecycle; unknown hosts still fail closed. The earlier strict-Spot intents and refused operations remain unchanged and do not become retroactive case admissions. No local eval execution is authorized. The remote campaign requires a separately named execution/product/database/model identity and separately reported rate across all244 scenarios. Do not carry local passes into the remote rate, and do not execute obsolete local source merely to preserve the previous queue.
+
+Carry the audited coherent harness corrections into the remote source. Preserve prior ordinal histories. The manager approved one new remote initial measurement for every scenario and at most one coherent correction measurement per scenario. The representative remote smoke counts as its scenario’s remote initial. A host qualification refusal before evaluation is a retained infrastructure operation, not a case measurement or consumed initial ordinal; the first such operation40519322850 left all244 remote initials unrun. Preserve all prior local ordinals separately; this is not an unlimited repair or unchanged rerun policy. Production/core fixes remain isolated and unmerged unless separately authorized.
+
+Immediate deliverables are an inspectable safe results page, an exact closed local checkpoint, and evidence-based accounting of elapsed wall time, stages reached, harness/product/model/prerequisite outcomes, actual usage and operational duplicate/reconciliation history. The original goal below remains historical context where superseded by this section.
+
+> Execution state: This file preserves the requested goal; it is not completion evidence. Before execution, reconcile the actual state of PR #17794 rather than assuming it merged.
+
+Turn the complete Paperclip chat-scenario catalog into executable Product E2E evals, run every scenario, give each failing scenario one fix-and-rerun cycle, and ship according to the rules below.
+
+Use the current agent/Astra only as the manager for planning, architecture, integration decisions, evidence review, and delegation. Delegate implementation, investigation, testing, and PR work to subagents explicitly using gpt-6.1-sol. Use up to six Sol subagents, within the runtime’s actual concurrency limit; use waves when fewer slots are available. Give workers distinct file ownership and tell them not to revert others’ work.
+
+1. Establish the inventory and baseline.
+
+Read repository instructions and the paperclip-evals, add-product-e2e-eval, and PR workflow skills. Inspect PR #17794 and reconcile its actual state before branching; do not assume it merged or duplicate its work.
+
+Freeze the scenario IDs in tests/runner-e2e/chat-scenarios/ as the denominator. The current inventory is 244 scenarios across 35 areas and 191 capabilities. Verify those numbers and preserve every scenario’s intended request, context, and outcome. Maintain one concise progress record with owners, implementation status, attempts, results, and PR links.
+
+2. Implement real evals for the entire inventory.
+
+Extend the existing Product E2E framework, fixtures, selectors, independent grading, evidence packaging, cleanup, and reports. Reuse the two working chat evals and shared infrastructure.
+
+Each scenario needs executable setup, the real human query through Agent Chat, any explicit user follow-up or approval steps, and assertions appropriate to its expected outcome. Cover the specified conditionals: connected/disconnected, permitted/denied, unique/ambiguous, fresh/existing state, and recovery.
+
+Exercise the real browser, server, database, runner, and model. Use disposable, isolated test data and authorized integration environments. Fixture setup must not perform the action being evaluated or pre-populate its result. Simulated integrations must be labeled and must not count as live proof of the corresponding external integration.
+
+Verify saved state, attribution, permissions, usable results, and persistence where relevant. Calibrate each distinct oracle against a valid result and a plausible wrong result. A plausible reply, generic model judge, registration-only test, skipped test, or missing evidence is not a pass.
+
+3. Run a controlled campaign.
+
+Use one coordinator for live execution and shared resources. Start with a small harness-health check, then run bounded batches; parallel coding does not mean every worker launches databases or full test suites simultaneously.
+
+Record the exact scenario, source revision, definition/grader fingerprint, model/profile, environment, timing, usage, cleanup, and evidence for every attempt. Keep credentials and private data out of tracked files and public reports.
+
+Run every scenario initially with automatic retries disabled. Preserve failures, including setup and infrastructure failures. Missing credentials or unavailable services are explicit blockers, never passing coverage. Continue independent work when one scenario is blocked.
+
+4. Allow one fix cycle per failing scenario.
+
+After its initial failure, diagnose the evidence, make one coherent correction, and rerun that scenario once. A shared root-cause correction may cover several affected scenarios. Preserve both measurements.
+
+Distinguish eval defects, product defects, model behavior, and infrastructure failures. Do not weaken assertions, rewrite the intended outcome, silently extend deadlines, add hidden nudges, or repeatedly rerun unchanged failures to obtain a pass.
+
+After the allowed cycle, retain any remaining failure or blocker and move on. Required CI and review repairs may continue, but do not use them to disguise additional live fix cycles.
+
+5. Separate core fixes from eval work.
+
+If a demonstrated fix changes production behavior outside the eval harness, create a separate focused core PR with regression coverage. Get its required checks and review requirements satisfied, but DO NOT merge it or enable auto-merge.
+
+Keep production fixes out of the eval PR. You may validate them in isolated candidate worktrees, but report those results separately. Passes requiring an unmerged core fix do not count toward the eval PR’s merge threshold.
+
+6. Apply an honest 80% merge gate.
+
+Calculate the final pass rate across the entire frozen inventory, using each scenario’s final allowed result on the eval PR’s code and declared production baseline. Keep failed, blocked, unrun, and unsupported scenarios in the denominator. Report first-attempt and post-fix rates separately.
+
+For 244 scenarios, at least 196 must pass. Do not stop implementing or running the remaining scenarios once 196 passes are reached.
+
+If the full inventory has been implemented and processed and the final rate is at least 80%, create the eval PR, resolve applicable reviews, pass required checks on its latest head, and merge through the normal protected workflow. Preserve and document the remaining failures; do not skip them to manufacture green checks.
+
+If the rate remains below 80% after the allowed cycles, preserve the work and report the results without merging or starting an unlimited repair campaign.
+
+7. Finish with evidence and accurate PR states.
+
+Deliver the complete runnable catalog, per-scenario results, campaign report, initial and final pass rates, remaining failures and blockers, and links to all PRs.
+
+Core-fix PRs must remain unmerged. The qualifying eval PR should actually merge. If a human-only approval or another external gate prevents that, prepare everything possible, enable ordinary auto-merge only for the qualifying eval PR when appropriate, and identify the exact remaining gate. Never bypass protections or report queued auto-merge as completed.
+
+Proceed autonomously without routine approval pauses. Keep the manager focused on coordination and higher-level decisions, and use Sol 6.1 workers for execution.

+# Chat catalog eval campaign progress
+
+Updated: 2026-10-27. This is the single progress record for [the saved goal](2026-10-26-chat-catalog-eval-goal.md). Exact frozen requests, ownership, readiness, attempt histories and provenance live in [the campaign manifest](../../tests/runner-e2e/chat-campaign-manifest.json). This record distinguishes authored code from live acceptance.
+
+## Refreshed execution checkpoint — 2026-10-28 UTC
+
+- **User steering:** PR #17949 is merged. Resume real human chat feature commands on a freshly verified merged baseline; prioritize a small sensible pilot before wider runs, then continue toward broad passing coverage. No new numerical threshold or reset of failed-attempt budgets is implied.
+- **Fresh source preparation:** the composed candidate is based on verified production `39e811c9c5226979fce42e052a27cfb28301018a`, including merged custody commit `38d08847`. Final eval source is still being composed and reviewed; no new-baseline pilot result is credited yet. Proposed controls are `cli-operations.create-from-cli` and `agents.change-manager`; unused initials are `projects.create-project`, `projects.project-work`, and `projects.archive-project`. Exact intents and actual admission remain separate from this proposal.
+- **Preserved historical remote results:** [the official final34 report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-40584967834-1-final34-report/) records the previous lane: 57 distinct measured scenarios, 6 passed, 51 failed, 187 unrun; 62 attempts (6 passed, 56 failed). That run intentionally stopped for the shared key-custody finding after 34 admitted results. Its 120 unadmitted selections consumed no ordinal. Prior production50b and earlier mixed-baseline results are historical for this refreshed baseline; their passes do not become new-baseline evidence.
+- **Evidence custody:** the former ignored private ledger directory is currently unavailable. Selected pilot history is being recovered from the published immutable 244-ID coverage and actual retained result bytes; unavailable private provenance is explicitly unknown. Do not reconstruct attempts from conversation memory. Accepted boundary/overview/preview candidates remain preserved by named Git refs; the comment fix already exists in the prior eval source. Do not integrate the whole semantic branch: the summarizer predicate remains unresolved and unaccepted.
+
+## Earlier status checkpoints (historical)
+
+
+- **First remote feedback-loop timing:**run40530790741 spanned15:25:15–16:18:09UTC (52m54s). Retained workflow facts: authorization queue≈8m03s, lockfile queue6m12s, catalog queue3m44s, AWS build queue16m40s plus build3m38s, paid case queue10m19s plus worker2m34s. These stage durations are not additive causal attribution or model runtime. Actual host/Docker qualified; the first framework attempt then failed agent-readiness setup before the canonical query.
+
+- **Existing Evals website is primary:**[published historical partial Codex campaign](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/historical-local-codex-chat-catalog-20261027-158measured-86unrun/) is live in the [canonical Product history](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/) and was opened/visually verified in the browser. It shows17/158 original initial passes,141 first-attempt failures and159 retained attempts, with86 historical unrun IDs listed in its published summary. It is not new-baseline confidence. The custom localhost page is retired as the delivery approach. Its exact owned preview server PID3634 was rechecked by UID/start/command/loopback listener, terminated and proven absent; historical HTML remains intact (`operations/interim-report-preview-retired.json`). No original result or ledger bytes changed; public projection excludes raw usage/error/transcripts/screenshots. Canonical normalized usage63,126,652tokens includes2,071,424cached tokens omitted from three goal rows in the old61,055,228-token ledger scope; both values are retained, and unpriced costs are not zero.
+- **New remote measurement:**[published OpenCode setup result](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-40530790741-1/), browser-verified through the existing Product history renderer. Run40530790741 at source0dd8 completed one actual tasks.create-backlog initial as an agent-readiness setup failure before canonical query;243 initials remain,0passes. Host/Docker/source/model/artifact identity is verified; cleanup passed. Heartbeat native runs0, but automatic hello provider calls/tokens/cost remain unknown. Finally grading snapshots do not establish returned feature grading. The maximum-one correction budget is unchanged; this is not reclassified as a host-only operation.
+- **New user host authorization15:21UTC:**future GitHub Actions execution may use the normal AWS fleet Spot or On-Demand fallback, with actual lifecycle retained and unknown hosts rejected. This supersedes the strict-Spot interpretation only for an explicitly new source/intent. Old617/941 intents and the two pre-evaluation refusals remain unchanged; those operations consumed no initials. The later actual framework attempt consumed one, leaving243. No local execution is permitted.
+- **Second remote qualification operation:**[run40524193545](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40524193545), target6175603, proved actual Spot/x86_64 then failed host database-image qualification (`owned-linux-amd64-postgres-image-unqualified`) before evaluation. Authenticated artifact12743322992 and exact extracted bytes are verified; the underlying Docker/image cause is not yet established. Operation1 remains separate. Both have0canonical/native/provider work and consume0case ordinals. All244 remote initials were unrun at that operation checkpoint. Receipt:`results/chat-catalog-remote-opencode/operation-40524193545.json`. Separate reporter PR17888 latest manager checkpoint: head ae190635b93af2a2d85c9617de244c7ad1fadd16, required verify/e2e passed, Greptile5/5 and0 unresolved, OPEN/unmerged/auto-merge off; no reporter outcome is inferred from this host receipt.
+- **First remote operation:**[Actions run40519322850](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40519322850), exact target6175603, was refused by the actual-host gate because AWS supplied On-Demand instead of Spot. Authenticated artifact12740329812 and its SHA256-bound host receipt prove evaluation was not admitted:0canonical/model/native work and0case ordinals consumed. All244 remote initials were unrun at that historical operation checkpoint. Separately, trusted reporter dependency installation failed with `ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH`; this is not a case/model outcome. No redispatch or retry is authorized by this record. Remote operation evidence is under `results/chat-catalog-remote-opencode/operation-40519322850.json`; the historical local ledger is unchanged.
+- **User steering supersedes the local queue:**all new local admissions are stopped. All admitted children have finished and exact owned absence is verified; no remaining76/22 local initials, local B or new health launches. Future execution is GitHub Actions on the existing AWS fleet with normal Spot or On-Demand fallback, using the new Paperclip runner OpenCode provider via OpenRouter model `deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`. Local histories remain preserved; their passes cannot qualify the separately named remote lane. The manager approved a new remote initial for every scenario plus at most one coherent correction measurement, with distinct history and no erased local ordinals.
+- **Historical detail:**the earlier custom report remains retained evidence, while the existing website above is the user-facing report. Its conservative local stage projection proved105 saved canonical queries,102 exact canonical-native admissions,14 returned feature grades and110 observation-grade snapshots; unproven stages remain unknown. Local reservation span15.539h, union of completed attempt wall intervals4.719h (not model time), summed walls5.879h. Those historical quantities do not describe the new remote lane.
+
+- **Frozen inventory:244 scenarios /35areas /191capabilities;196 eligible passes required.** Inventory digest `9dc9cf6a5426cf1b56bc30a3571851f233f9dd5e93a1292eaee414d33b52df77`. Original queries, contexts and outcomes remain unchanged; blocked, partial and unrun cases stay in the denominator.
+- **All244 callbacks registered; six journeys remain incomplete or blocked** in immutable remaining-initial source `68e8534e3127dec27ae979bbf9f33d8a26422e4b`:238 implementations have no declared gaps; six incomplete or blocked journeys retain prerequisite probes (242 lazy definitions +2 legacy). No absent registry entry is implied, but six are not complete intended E2E journeys. Grok, named ChatGPT and private GitHub after-grant callbacks are integrated. This is registered implementation coverage, not complete intended-journey coverage or live acceptance.
+- **Closed historical local checkpoint:158 scenarios attempted/processed,159 completed measurements,17 original initial passes and142 failed measurements;86 scenarios unrun,0 running.** Historical initial rate is17/244 (6.97%) across the frozen inventory, or17/158 (10.76%) among attempted IDs. Final current-source qualification was not completed; no local pass carries into the remote lane. Actual retained usage is61,055,228 tokens; subscription dollars remain unpriced. The final12 initials completed with all cleanup passed/DBremoved; exact owner/12launchers,12full container IDs and roots are absent, with zero resources under their exact root labels on the unchanged pinned engine. Original volume names were not reconstructed. The user-stop/state/lock histories and all original result/attempt bytes are retained. Receipts:`operations/user-stop-local-admissions.json`, `operations/qualified-inputs-user-stop-exact-absence-68e.json`, `operations/local-campaign-user-stop-closed.json`, `local-campaign-closed-summary.json`. Two historical cleanup records remain unresolved; this is not a claim of newly observed live resources. No further local execution is authorized.
+- **Single coherent final-B retry set remains held.** Goal-tree exhausted two measurements. All original outcomes, evidence and measured digests remain unchanged. Actual current selected identity review is retained in `closed-pass-identity-review-b65.json`; changed selected execution/grader closures require reviewed revalidation within the same max-two budget. Unrelated Git revisions and unchanged failed behavior do not justify reruns.
+- **Two-case concurrency qualification completed and manager accepted continued waves of two.** Immutable `c167a54162fadffe665b4d35a7a1308c6233b75d`:companies.archive-company passed and connection-setup.choose-provider failed its actual reply check; each1native/1source human. Worker overlap25.479s; separate roots, ports53206/53205, containers and PostgreSQL system identifiers. Both containers and exact-root-labeled volumes are absent, both roots removed, and coordinator/child PIDs absent. A parent-only duplicate Playwright import prevented the passing completion from initially recording; isolated-process replay confirmed unchanged selected identity and finalized the existing result without rerun/reservation. Original parent error/stop preserved and owner lock retained. Receipt:`tests/runner-e2e/results/chat-catalog-campaign/two-lane-qualification-closed-c167.json`;5 offline replay controls passed. Full repository typecheck/build and final scoped E2E typecheck passed; broad test:run failed/incomplete on host embedded-PostgreSQL bootstrap, with all owned check processes absent. The qualified Docker lane is unchanged.
+- **The former local continuation is cancelled:**61 source initials,3 installed initials and22 guarded invitation prerequisites remain unrun (86 total). The prepared source/private-input selections remain provenance only and must not launch locally. Future remote execution uses the audited current coherent corrections and new OpenCode/OpenRouter model/host/database identity; it must not reuse obsolete68e merely to finish the old schedule.
+- **Known invite-path dependency quarantine is source-qualified for22 of166 remaining IDs.** Exact selected setup call chains (including observerPerson wrappers) are recorded in `remaining166-invite-setup-dependencies-68e.json`;144 independent IDs remain, including3 distinct installed cases. This is a dependency inventory, not processed live setup proof. No safe equivalent public membership setup is already implemented/proven; no fake identities, database grants, scanner weakening or automatic continuation is introduced. Guarded immutable candidate `e515d60fe396ef1ecd45f3a274a46f310bee4d2b` (96b source plus exact metadata overlay) is prepared with238 definitions without declared gaps and six incomplete or blocked journeys, scoped E2E typecheck passed, and22 selected fingerprints. No invitation-lane admission has occurred. Actual guard/probe or any earlier-publication failure must be recorded, with no token-path accept on the affected baseline and no invented zero-native measurement.
+- **New selected external authority:**the user authorized disposable mail only from the sole QA inbox to itself, and read/isolated clone of the existing designated QA private repository with no repository writes. The external owner independently qualified the actual inbox/account and exact repository/HTTPS clone, then removed its owned clone/helper. New private0700/0600 configuration/reference files are staged separately; actual credential values remain private and selected before capture. Five cases have qualified input fields (outbound-email, unknown-email-outcome, add/replace-repository, prepare-repository). Reply-to-email still lacks a distinct authorized reviewer/sender; private-repository-no-access still lacks the human App/browser authorization. The stable coordinator-only HMAC key commits the selected recipient expectation; credentials, private account/repository metadata and key bytes are not public evidence. Existing read-only discovery and its history remain unchanged. Host IPC cleanup is unnecessary and was not performed.
+- **Infrastructure is qualified:**owned local Docker PostgreSQL18.6 at the pinned installed image, normal onboarding/migrations/API and final persisted-state scan passed with zero model/native/scenario work; exact resources removed. No further infrastructure health is needed for the unchanged lane. The proposed host SysV cleanup was never performed and is no longer needed. Source/build/native bytes remain bound to production baseline `8373d7867963674ff960d2345d0d28086f799bc7`; no core candidate is used as benchmark proof.
+- **Separate core PRs remain OPEN/unmerged, auto-merge off.** Doctor [#17847](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17847), head `a042fb4a28f2e1574972798ed80de2e616daf9fc`, and invite logging [#17848](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17848), head `98a2432f88c33afacff2e014bd8c30630b26b339`, each have55 successful checks.

None changes measured baseline8373. No eval PR or merge is eligible.
+- **Genuine remaining missing inputs:**the sole self-mail inbox/recipient and exact QA repository are now selected, authorized and independently qualified; five unattempted cases carry those new private inputs. Reply-to-email still needs a distinct authorized reviewer/sender, and private-repository-no-access needs the actual human App/browser authorization. Other named provider, SSH/cloud target/image and private operator prerequisites remain unqualified unless actual retained setup proves otherwise. Standard provider-key reference availability alone is not target qualification. No extra send, repository write or account creation is implied.
+
+The efbb coordinator exited0 after30 retained measurements; no old launcher/writer remains. The authoritative ledger is the current manifest; immutable snapshot selection summaries are historical. The remaining initial-only draft originally covered172 IDs after efbb; the qualification pair consumed two, leaving170 unattempted IDs. It includes concrete missing-resource probes; its known two alias fixtures are corrected in151488bf8c before future admission.
+
+## Current measured continuation and held corrections
+
+The current ledger is authoritative; archived selection summaries remain historical. Every completed case in the current two batches has verified cleanup and exact owned Docker removal. Native subscription dollar amounts remain unpriced; synthetic imported fixture costs never enter campaign billing. Counts of human turns refer to the source standing chat, while separate operator actions remain in case evidence.
+
+Coherent final-B corrections are accumulating without reruns. `983f15394e` removes the archive reply-link overconstraint while exercising actual historical project/task UI and API access, accepts truthful common audit actor headers, grades meaningful Orchid plan requirements without nonce repetition, and fixes hire-denied's public permissions payload without widening task authority. `200e7fc3ac` refreshes the API-created company inventory before the canonical turn and binds the retained UI journeys to actual status labels, original interaction IDs and the visible organization toggle. Focused internal controls113, runtime-agent controls26 and relevant identity/runtime controls49 passed; scoped E2E typecheck passed. Raw failed initial evidence remains unchanged.
+
+Necessary-question's retained observation contains no saved task, document or result link. Its original answered question asked for product, audience and CTA; the supplied short product-name answer was followed by another actual pending positioning question. This is retained for exact YAML/fixture diagnosis, not reclassified as a passing saved brief. Goal-tree remains exhausted; all final-B attempts remain held.
+
+## Measured evidence — all failures retained
+
+All results below use local native Codex subscription profile `runner-codex-subscription`, model `gpt-5.6-sol`, one case per launcher and zero automatic retries. The first72 scenarios were sequential; the separately recorded qualification pair used two concurrent isolated launchers. Retained paths are under ignored `tests/runner-e2e/results/`. The launcher numbers each fresh invocation `attempt-1`; the ledger separately preserves governed campaign ordinals.
+
+| Scenario / campaign ordinal | Source | Retained campaign | Outcome and supported cause | Cleanup / accounted tokens |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `goals.create-goal-tree` / 1 | `10d0ce63610` | `local-2026-10-26T22-19-23-608Z` | Eval harness failed before canonical query: Playwright could not resolve the selected `.js` URL to `.ts`; report parsing also rejected the dotted canonical ID. Machine class `candidate_failure` unchanged. | passed / no heartbeat runs |
+| `goals.create-goal-tree` / 2, final allowed | `e652b0de6e` | `local-2026-10-26T22-26-37-076Z` | One native run created the requested tree, but final reply had no hierarchy link and left company ownership unset without a question. The unchanged first-phase gate prevented the explicit retry phase. Rendered href arrays and visual screenshot review confirm no alternate result card. Completed-behavior failure; no third attempt. | passed / 44,131 |
+| `goals.align-existing-work` / 1 | `e652b0de6e` | `local-2026-10-26T22-31-32-695Z` | Two native runs correctly saved associations and rejected the foreign goal. Manager/domain review found the old three-links oracle exceeded this scenario’s YAML while underchecking its strategic-context explanation. **Eval oracle defect** supersedes the initial model-behavior attribution; raw failure and diagnosis history remain. | passed / 135,401 |
+| `goals.explain-purpose` / 1 | `e652b0de6e` | `local-2026-10-26T22-35-40-720Z` | Initial fixture exposed both intended and later-conditional website tasks. Native tool-result event 208 contains both; the reply conflated them. **Eval fixture contamination**; no product/model blame. Missing/inaccessible phases were never sent. | passed / 25,256 |
+
+Each case directory contains `result.json` and independent `snapshots/chat-catalog-{definition,observation,conversation,runs}.json` where reached. Exact definition/grader/global suite hashes, source SHA, evidence paths, timing and usage are retained per attempt. Subscription dollars remain **unpriced**, not zero; production setup hello probes remain outside heartbeat accounting. Accounted tokens across completed work runs total 204,788.
+
+The initial report-parser error was repaired only for presentation at `results/chat-catalog-campaign/initial-postprocessed/index.html`; its sidecar retains original source and report error. This postprocessing made zero provider calls and remains the original failed measurement.
+
+## Frozen snapshots and corrections
+
+- First immutable source snapshot `10d0ce63610dd85ae338b0cc4d9addcba2cd8f80`: all 12,160 tracked files verified against Git blobs. Dependencies/build outputs were copied with APFS clones, 5,191 symlinks audited, one absolute workspace link rebound, and generated shims rebound. No dependency links reached the mutable checkout.
+- Eighteen required workspace packages were rebuilt without incremental reuse. Full snapshot E2E typecheck passed. Native runner was rebuilt offline/locked from source; Rust sources match the declared production baseline. Binary SHA-256 `9d8af6b85b836a03092ade2273be6f29f5c2f6ec67ee891d83ee9693ba39d3b4`; build/toolchain/workspace-output receipts are in `results/chat-catalog-campaign/snapshot-10d0ce63610.json`.
+- Correction `4c9de65edd` fixed actual source-module dispatch and bounded dotted report IDs; two regressions passed in an actual Playwright worker without fixtures/providers. Capability `e652b0de6e` added genuine pre-query history boundaries, default zero. Corrected immutable snapshot `e652b0de6eff21473a6d9b4915846c9851f292fa` verified 12,182 tracked files, full E2E typecheck, 32 focused controls and both Playwright regressions. Required production/workspace/native sources remained identical, so pinned build bytes were reused with provenance.
+- Goals correction `ad031f1c59` is reviewed/frozen: alignment removes invented link obligations and checks phase-specific context explanation; purpose creates missing-association fixtures only after the initial canonical phase, uses semantic rationale rather than nonce repetition, and rejects negated/wrong-phase grounding. Domain reports 66 controls and scoped typecheck passing. **Calibration is not a rerun or passing live result.**
+- Attachment capability `1c84384d41` allows exactly one declared production upload receipt for the two relevant cases, with unchanged canonical query prefix, exact formatter suffix, same-source/human/comment identity, independent bytes/SHA checks and allowlisted evidence. The two production composer source hashes are bound as selected fingerprint data only; their UI dependency graphs are not imported. Twenty-five focused shared controls and E2E typecheck passed.
+- Finite repository alias binding now validates declared receipts with current company-scoped provider discovery and active connections; the domain adaptation is included in this checkpoint. It binds only catalog aliases to independently discovered numeric repository identities and active same-company GitHub connections. Its focused controls and scoped typecheck pass; final goal retries remain held until the remaining authoring contracts settle. Attachment helpers are frozen.
+
+## Ownership and next work
+
+The finite assignments cover the full denominator; future-wave assignments remain real work, not reduced scope.
+
+| Owner | Scenarios | Areas |
+| --- | ---: | --- |
+| `eval_domains` | 45 | tasks, projects, goals, documents-artifacts, inbox-search, activity (two legacy task implementations retain integrator ownership) |
+| `eval_integrator` | 27 | cases, status-cards, routines, skills |
+| `eval_identity` | 44 | access, navigation-preferences, onboarding, questions-and-approvals, companies, budgets-costs |
+| `eval_runtime` | 60 | agents, agent-chat, runs-adapters, execution-environments, recovery, steering, task-coordination, workspaces |
+| `eval_external` | 52 | connection-setup, app-permissions, chat-channels, assistant-connections, gateways-profiles, plugins, teams, secrets |
+| `eval_campaign` | 16 | instance-operations, cli-operations, developer-labs; also sole live coordinator and ledger/report owner |
+
+Next: manager review of a bounded initial-only slice from an immutable snapshot of this checkpoint; remaining area authoring continues. Run each approved initial sequentially with retries zero, fresh owned environment and cleanup. Final retries remain deferred until coherent freeze B after all initial processing. Accumulate one coherent correction set, freeze B, and review the exact eligible final retry set before execution. Alignment and purpose final retries stay deferred into B; goal-tree is exhausted and must not receive a third run. The coordinator retains sole live/ledger ownership. No new reservation or launch is authorized by this metadata checkpoint. No live test suites run concurrently with campaign instances. Preflight rechecks IPC capacity and exact source/binary/dependency identity; no arbitrary IPC cleanup, kernel tuning or live database changes.
+
+Local tools/dependencies/private subscription auth file are present. Earlier absence described exported provider-key variables and `.env.runner-e2e.local`, not absence from credential sources. Exact standard `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` and `DAYTONA_API_KEY` names are present in the `~/.secrets` file. Source reference availability does not establish validity or a disposable target; immutable cloud image/resource scope remains unverified. External provider/configuration blockers remain explicit and never passing coverage; simulations cannot establish live provider acceptance. No private artifacts have been published.
+
+Identity and domain probe helpers now retain one attempt-private credential lifetime with fresh reads and explicit revocation. Remaining external review: allow harmless secret-related artifacts only after actual private byte scanning, and compare secret version/identity semantics rather than JSON property order. Named ChatGPT setup is explicitly partial: real generic OAuth/MCP client consent is retained but cannot prove the named ChatGPT human setup path.
+
+Core behavior fixes require separate focused PRs that remain unmerged; their dependent passes cannot count toward the eval threshold. Eval merge requires all 244 authoring-resolved and actually processed (complete implementations or concrete executable blocker probes, with no unfinished branches), at least 196 final eligible passes, latest-head checks/reviews and actual protected merge. Per-case fingerprints, global suite hash and production/source revisions remain distinct; stale passes cannot be carried across changed execution/grader dependencies.
+
+Credential discovery: relevant source metadata is readable through the existing 1Password service account outside the sandbox. Standard source references are available; this does not prove account validity. The user explicitly approved the narrow read-only AgentMail account/inbox and GitHub account/repository metadata discovery, and the external owner completed it. No contents, sends or provider writes were authorized by that discovery. No designated disposable self-mail recipient/repository scope is selected yet. Private item IDs and account metadata remain outside tracked documents.
+
+## Historical authoring handoff at b33f3b8b64
+
+| Owner | Without declared gaps | Partial | Authored |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Domains | 37 | 2 | 39 |
+| Identity | 19 | 0 | 19 |
+| Runtime | 23 | 1 | 24 |
+| External | 8 | 2 | 10 |
+| Integrator legacy | 2 | 0 | 2 |
+| Coordinator privileged | 14 | 2 | 16 |
+
+All 16 privileged IDs have executable paths. The health case submits the exact canonical body to the same owned backend only after genuine owned PostgreSQL shutdown and actual HTTP/doctor failure; route timing and early evidence survive ordinary admission failure. Cleanup restores the verified owned cluster before generic cleanup. No database fault was performed during authoring.
+
+Backup restoration now includes a declared factual operator receipt and second, phase-attributed native restore-result report. Performance similarly supplies actual documented fixture measurements to a declared follow-up; generic no-measurement interpretation cannot pass. Feedback retains an actual board-cancelled, unfinished native worker with original comment/run/events, actual human CLI export, independent JSON/archive byte and scope checks, unchanged sharing, and a truthful local-location reply. It is labelled interrupted/cancelled work, never model failure or failed-native coverage. CLI returned commands execute their actual supported argv with an explicit source executable mapping and unresolved-identifier receipts; no JSON flags are silently added. Real state readback supplies independent identity checks.
+
+The two privileged partials are `instance-operations.update-instance` and `instance-operations.provision-runtime`: `installed-source-activation-and-artifact-fingerprint-lane`. Ordinary chat currently rejects installed activation; this is a missing harness capability, not credential absence. Their area code requires an actual source installed target and private mode0600 `PAPERCLIP_CHAT_OPERATOR_INSTALL_RECEIPT` inside the owned attempt: exact CLI/server hashes, complete owned npm-prefix dependency-tree hash, source process PID/UID, source HTTP version and disposable ownership. Update additionally requires an exact supported published version/integrity and retains the concrete original-version reinstall option; it applies the public updater, restarts the actual source and independently reads its new version/readiness. Provision requires an explicitly named private OpenRouter environment reference, missing release-matched assets, the actual public provisioner and closure identity, then a separate genuinely running native Pi worker and exact saved file, followed by a phase-attributed result report. Its declared total is three native runs (initial controller, Pi worker, controller interpretation) and two human messages. Download alone never qualifies it.
+
+Integrator owns the narrow allowlisted installed ordinary-chat selector/fingerprint/receipt lane. It must preserve source-mode guards and bind actual installed artifact closure rather than relabel a source pack as a published release. Coordinator resumes the operator cases after that capability; these partials cannot count for acceptance in the meantime. Runtime's fifth pre-chat `agent-chat.chat-disabled` boundary is allowlisted with real authenticated harness context and zero admissions; runtime still owns its case implementation.
+
+Credential-free validation: 32 privileged controls across seven files passed; the later exact-argv change passed five CLI controls and E2E typecheck. Metadata was reconciled only from Git archive b33f3b8b64; dependency symlinks to the earlier immutable candidate were used for metadata imports only, never a live measurement. Newer committed/WIP area changes are pending the next checkpoint. No extra selected-case probe, reservation, live run, credentialed provider discovery or final retry occurred.
+
+## Current finite integration checkpoint at ad0907afb9
+
+| Owner | Without declared gaps | Partial | Authored |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Domains | 39 | 0 | 39 |
+| Identity | 34 | 2 | 36 |
+| Runtime | 23 | 1 | 24 |
+| External | 15 | 2 | 17 |
+| Integrator legacy | 2 | 0 | 2 |
+| Coordinator privileged | 16 | 0 | 16 |
+
+The archived source includes domain conditional closures, selected case credentials/private input staging (`9be9c65e85` / `5f8a3c8eec`), and the explicit installed operator lane (`8f67a700a4`). Update/provision no longer have that authoring gap: only these two ordinary-chat operator IDs admit an actual public-registry installation in an owned prefix, with publication pins, exact process/tree identity and supported transition checks. No installation or provider call has qualified that lane yet. Newer identity and integrator commits are pending the next immutable checkpoint.
+
+All 244 scenario rows and their original canonical hashes remain unchanged. Three scenarios/four measurements still have no eligible pass. Four historical failed source measurements now append product identity only from their already-retained verified snapshot/native receipts; outcomes, diagnoses, usage, attempt ordinals and evidence are preserved. Any identity without adequate retained proof remains unknown and cannot qualify.
+
+The approved eligibility policy distinguishes three product identities: ordinary source builds must match production source baseline `8373d7867963674ff960d2345d0d28086f799bc7` with exact snapshot/native/workspace artifact receipts; the two declared published operator cases retain independent public source/target release pins plus matching observed artifact identity; `onboarding.new-instance` may use a real published release or a separately labelled source-built installed artifact with its own CLI/server/tree proof. A source pack is never labelled published. Scenario-appropriate published-release passes may count toward the full 244 benchmark under their declared lane, and are never represented as proof of the source-baseline server. Missing identity, wrong baseline/lane, mismatched observed transition and any unmerged core candidate are ineligible. Ledger completion and summary enforce this distinction and report measurement counts by product identity.
+
+Validation used the exact Git archive and its reconciled descriptors: all 132 runtime exports (including four browser boundaries) matched metadata; discovery listed 134 cells; 22 catalog/campaign/boundary/private-input/fingerprint controls passed. Four installed-child controls passed with the narrowly required process-inspection permission. Their first default-sandbox run failed closed because `ps` inspection was denied; that is retained harness-environment evidence, not a product or scenario measurement. No matching owned timer fixture remained afterward. The new ledger identity gates and a real private-envelope deletion/name-only fingerprint replay passed ten focused controls; E2E typecheck passed.
+
+Plugin installation fingerprints two generated child artifacts. CLI and plugin SDK outputs were narrowly rebuilt inside the immutable archive using the existing committed build configurations and dependencies from the earlier immutable candidate. Lock identity matches, and production source/config/lock paths have zero diff from the baseline. Artifact hashes/build provenance are retained privately in `results/chat-catalog-campaign/metadata-ad0907afb9.json`; this is metadata validation only. Final freeze A must rebuild or adopt audited bytes with the actual execution snapshot receipt, never mutable-worktree `dist`.
+
+Selected private credential inputs retain name-only identity for fingerprint replay after raw file cleanup; secret values never become fingerprint data or tracked metadata. Actual value validity and provider/disposable scope are still unverified. The separate narrow AgentMail/GitHub authenticated read-only discovery approval remains pending; no such request ran during this checkpoint. Native model calls in an authored eval are distinct from that discovery gate. Synthetic imported budget cost-events are fixture context, not incurred usage; campaign billing must use actual native run receipts and keep subscription dollars unpriced where appropriate.
+
+No live launch, selected-case probe, reservation, final retry, production edit or core PR occurred. Goal-tree remains exhausted; alignment and purpose final retries remain for coherent freeze B only. Freeze A still processes all remaining initial attempts first, and only then accumulates one correction set and one reviewed final retry set on B. Coordinator pauses for the runtime authoring wave while retaining sole execution/ledger ownership.
+
+## Pending authoring handoffs
+
+These committed area handoffs await the coordinator's next immutable reconciliation. The finite handoff cutoff includes runtime `ac8ac79d68` (`steering.steer-active`), rather than following mutable HEAD. They do not replace the archived `ad0907afb9` checkpoint of 134 executions or establish live acceptance. The fixed denominator remains 244; the production source baseline remains `8373d7867963674ff960d2345d0d28086f799bc7`. Live history is unchanged: three scenarios, four measurements, zero eligible passes.
+
+| Pending owner handoff | Authored | Without declared gaps | Partial | Still absent |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Domains, including two legacy cases | 41 | 41 | 0 | 4 |
+| Identity | 44 | 41 | 3 | 0 |
+| Runtime | 37 | 37 | 0 | 23 |
+| Integrator | 22 | 19 | 3 | 5 |
+| External | 25 | 22 | 3 | 27 |
+| Coordinator privileged | 16 | 16 | 0 | 0 |
+| Total pending reconciliation | 185 | 176 | 9 | 59 |
+
+Integrator's latest finite area handoff is `37b72e28e3` (genuine SDK-managed routine), following `2d53c3952f` / `6cc0012da0` (actual Morgan primary execution and review handoff) and `fe05c54c11` / `edbf426db3` (partial skill enablement). Its five absent IDs are `cases.update-case-facts`, `cases.case-history`, `cases.close-case`, `routines.webhook-trigger`, and `skills.review-update`. Card explanation still lacks the actual responding-principal inaccessible-source phase; card refresh still lacks an actual persisted failed-generation phase retaining prior output. Skill enablement has concrete intended assignment/future-version callbacks but requires an observed public configuration grant and an applicable effective-denial branch; rejection of the nonexistent `skills.use` action alone is not proof that every denial context is unsupported. Unfinished authoring and source-only/calibration prerequisite receipts never count as passing outcomes or complete inventory processing.
+
+Shared privacy changes `b72f0f7cbb`, `4e73b7bb70`, `69b2e2b1a2`, and `d1fa9efdaf` protect diagnostic streaming, generated secret registration, reporter archives, authenticated API cookies, and sensitive PATCH calls. Worker registrations synchronously update an owned atomic mode0600 registry outside retained evidence; the launcher redacts before console/log emission and deletes that registry unconditionally. Diagnostic sink cleanup runs after independent observations: actual product response/work-product bytes remain available to leak oracles, while leaking opaque HTML/blob reports are omitted with explicit failure metadata and the original failed diagnosis retained. Actual offline Playwright canaries used synthetic values only, with no provider calls or canonical attempts. Closed source/hash/count receipts are retained under ignored `tests/runner-e2e/results/chat-catalog-campaign/privacy/`: `external-original-closed.json`, `shared-diagnostic-boundary.json`, `identity-private-browser-closed.json`, and `authenticated-api-transport-closed.json`. Raw canary reports are not published. Identity's finite child and exact state-file installation proof scanned 17 sinks without findings; the authenticated API canary scanned nine sinks without findings. Shared fingerprints change with these inputs; older passes cannot silently carry forward.
+
+`7154ba9e85` adds only the approved numeric GitHub alias/discovery bindings for the two workspace repository scenarios and removes the erroneous requirement for an already-qualified managed Anthropic profile. Source credential-name availability still does not establish validity or target authorization. Narrow authenticated AgentMail/GitHub resource discovery remains pending explicit approval after automatic review rejected it; no credentialed discovery calls or metadata persistence occurred. No production fix, core PR, live launch, reservation, or final retry was added by these authoring handoffs. The coordinator retains sole ledger/execution ownership and resumes sole progress-document ownership after this bounded update.
+
+## Finite coordinator checkpoint at 994897f542
+
+Archived source contains 200 authored scenarios: domains 39 plus two legacy tasks, identity 44, runtime 43, integrator 26 and external 30, plus 16 privileged scenarios. Frozen catalog remains 244/35/191 with its original digest. Source production paths and lockfile have no diff from baseline `8373d7867963674ff960d2345d0d28086f799bc7`.
+
+Validation: all 198 lazy exports imported through actual selected dispatch and matched their metadata (193 ordinary/companion definitions and five browser boundaries); derived `--list` contains 200 cells. Full archived E2E typecheck passed. Archived input/fingerprint/diagnostic/oracle controls passed 20 tests; coordinator ledger controls passed 12 tests. These checks launch no canonical workflow or provider. TSX CLI IPC was sandbox-denied during discovery; the supported Node import loader completed the same listing without its auxiliary IPC server.
+
+Ledger processing is verified against retained terminal `result.json` execution/source identity, not mere reservations: three scenarios processed, four measurements retained, zero eligible passes. Source-chat human counts exclude separately evidenced auxiliary human task comments/operator actions. Imported synthetic fixture dollars never enter campaign/provider billing; actual heartbeat usage remains authoritative.
+
+Selected semantic private expectations now use an opaque keyed commitment, separate from credential references. Audited Notion fields are `apiVersion`, `olderFactJson`, `olderMarker`, `recentFactJson`, `recentMarker`. The stable random 32-byte mode-0600 campaign key was explicitly initialized once outside tracked artifacts and model inputs. No raw expectations, key bytes or low-entropy hashes are public; missing/replaced key or changed expectations invalidates replay. Case-only missing inputs are sanitized setup blockers inside reserved attempts; profile/environment credentials remain launch prerequisites. No private provider discovery occurred during this checkpoint.
+
+Proposed manager-reviewed initial slice (all ordinal 1, still unreserved): `access.sign-in` (browser boundary, zero native/source-chat human turns); `projects.create-project` (two native/two source-chat human turns); `tasks.comment-with-reference`, `navigation-preferences.broken-link`, `navigation-preferences.edit-profile` (one native/one source-chat human turn each). All use local Codex subscription profile, max parallelism one and zero retries; no private oracle expectations are selected. Exact candidate source/build/fingerprint receipts must be fixed before admission. Published operator source/target release identities remain distinct from ordinary source-baseline evidence.
+
+Read-only IPC preflight found 97 free semaphores and 19 free shared-memory slots; the single-instance reserve guard passed. Recheck immediately before admission. No IPC cleanup, kernel tuning, live database access or canonical health probe occurred.
+
+## Initial slice stopped after access.sign-in
+
+Manager authorized five initials from isolated commit `0fdcb539a832684ab03a55cc3342c0bef4a9a41a`, based on `994897f542`. The candidate verified 12,465 Git blobs and 5,191 dependency links, with no mutable escapes, unchanged production sources/lock, pinned source-built native binary, full E2E typecheck and 32 focused controls. Native/source/build receipts are retained under `results/chat-catalog-campaign/`.
+
+Only `access.sign-in` ordinal 1 was reserved and actually launched, campaign `local-2026-10-27T04-01-47-918Z`, launcher PID 86819 (now dead). It failed at embedded PostgreSQL `initdb` bootstrap, before the webserver/browser journey or native/model admission. The original actual fallback result is retained verbatim under `results/local-2026-10-27T04-01-47-918Z/abnormal-finalization/access.sign-in/result.json`; its sidecar explicitly labels postprocessing, the original result/log hashes and the secondary finalization defect. This is one failed measurement, not an uncounted probe. Zero native runs/tokens were admitted; provider dollars remain unpriced.
+
+Underlying PostgreSQL stderr was not captured: the pinned `embedded-postgres` initialise implementation wires only stdout despite its stderr comment. The retained log proves bootstrap exit 1, not its precise resource cause. Pre- and post-failure headroom remained 97 semaphores/19 shared-memory slots; no IPC exhaustion claim or limit change is justified. No arbitrary cleanup or PostgreSQL retry was performed.
+
+Secondary harness failure: launcher credentials were replaced by expanded diagnostic variants; the reporter expanded those variants again, incorrectly indexing JSON structural punctuation. Reporter `.last-run.json` became invalid JSON and evidence packaging aborted. The original case-private fallback result survived; original campaign reports zero packaged results. A narrow offline correction retains raw registered secrets, makes repeated expansion stable, serializes reporter JSON structurally, and preserves primary failure plus abnormal-finalization error in a failed result. Synthetic controls cover real failing child stderr, short multiline secrets, repeated synthetic auth/reporter processing, valid JSON and preserved failure attribution. No corrective scenario run occurred.
+
+Initial cleanup remains **unconfirmed/failed** in the ledger. A later read-only exact-owned-root process scan found zero matches and the launcher dead; this is appended verification, not proof of complete resource cleanup. The original private recovery directory remains retained. The other four cases (`projects.create-project`, `tasks.comment-with-reference`, `navigation-preferences.broken-link`, `navigation-preferences.edit-profile`) remain unreserved and unrun. No final retry was consumed; sign-in's one permitted correction belongs to B.
+
+Next safe step is a source-qualified test-scoped PostgreSQL diagnostic path that captures the real owned initdb stderr, plus independently verified cleanup and a meaningful environment/correction change. No further canonical admission is authorized until manager review. A production/dependency stderr behavior fix, if required, stays in the separate core lane; no production code was changed here.
+
+## One infrastructure-only bootstrap diagnostic
+
+Manager authorized one separate owned `initdb` diagnostic with private stderr capture, after five offline wrong-binary/root/owner/privacy/process-guard controls and fresh read-only IPC/ownership checks passed. No scenario, browser, provider or native runner was admitted; campaign attempt counts remain four scenarios/five measurements/zero eligible passes. Original sign-in and goal budgets are unchanged; the other four initial cases remain unreserved.
+
+The exact immutable embedded binary was `@embedded-postgres/darwin-arm64` 18.1.0-beta.16, SHA-256 `5a6ad92c2ce915b1a13aa2f8f2b2199996daf0cbe6b9f1d0044a387303b368ec`. Its bytes matched the prior immutable dependency copy. Command matched the failed server's password auth, paperclip user, C locale and UTF-8 flags, against a new mode-0700 owned directory with mode-0600 password/stderr files. No production code, arguments, requests or kernel settings were rewritten.
+
+Captured stderr proves **semaphore resource exhaustion**: PostgreSQL reported `FATAL: could not create semaphores: No space left on device`, with a failed `semget` allocation of 17 members and an explicit SEMMNI/SEMMNS (not disk-space) explanation. Before and after, host capacity was 97 free semaphores/19 shared-memory slots. The existing 34-semaphore preflight reserve therefore failed to establish bootstrap capacity; no guessed replacement threshold was adopted. The original scenario's missing stderr was not retrospectively fabricated: this is separate diagnostic evidence of the current environment.
+
+The diagnostic's strict process-group ownership guard rejected a member after bootstrap admission. It captured stderr but raised before waiting, so the bootstrap exit code is **unknown**; controller exit code 1 is recorded separately. No second bootstrap was launched and the guard was not relaxed to conceal that failure. A subsequent read-only inspection proved process group 16180 empty and the diagnostic cluster directory already absent. Its exact owned regular mode-0600 password file was removed after those checks; raw logs and the closed receipt remain private. The original failed scenario recovery root was untouched and its cleanup remains unconfirmed.
+
+Receipt: `tests/runner-e2e/results/chat-catalog-campaign/initdb-diagnostic-receipt.json`; pre/post-capacity receipts are alongside it. These record exact command, binary/version/helper hashes, start/verification times, known PIDs, status limits, original stderr/stdout hashes and cleanup. A future diagnostic would first need a reviewed ownership-observation correction; none is authorized by this record. Another canonical initial needs meaningful environment correction or independently qualified capacity plus manager review. No arbitrary IPC deletion, kernel tuning, unrelated process stop or database access occurred.
+
+Read-only resource census distinguishes the binding limit: `SEMMNI=87381` with 5,135 sets leaves 82,246 set slots, while `SEMMNS=87381` with 87,284 members leaves only 97 semaphore members. A bounded sample of 32 current-user 17-member sets all had last-member value 537 and zero waiters; 20 had every recorded member PID dead, but no campaign creator/run receipt association was established. No set was released. The other sampled sets did not satisfy all-PIDs-dead proof and are not cleanup candidates.
+
+The helper's offline guard correction now retains observations and waits for its direct owned child when strict executable validation fails; it never signals an unverified group. Six offline controls pass. No second bootstrap was run. The exact executed earlier helper was reconstructed and verified against its original SHA before being retained privately; its abnormal status remains separate from the corrected helper source.
+
+Source qualification found no existing external-Postgres substitute in this Product E2E lane: `server-config.ts` creates embedded-Postgres configuration; `harness-env.ts` strips and rejects ambient database URLs; `instance-isolation.ts` rejects a nonembedded mode or connection string. The product itself supports external Postgres, but using it here would require an explicit isolated-target capability and provenance review. No credential access, network request or database creation was performed for that investigation. Current capacity is still the known failed 97-member headroom; another canonical launch requires a reviewed meaningful resource/environment correction. Original sign-in cleanup and all attempt budgets remain unchanged.
+
+A concrete dry-run cleanup manifest now lists exactly 20 currently user-owned PostgreSQL-marker sets with all recorded member PIDs dead and no waiters. It records IDs, owner/creator UID/GID, key/sequence, mode, change/operation timestamps and every member PID/value/waiter hash, checked twice without mutation. Campaign association is not established, so explicit user authorization is pending and **zero resources were released**. Recipe aborts on any identity/creation/state/PID reuse/permission/waiter change and rechecks each target immediately before a separately authorized removal. A bounded first eight sets would free 136 members, raising headroom from 97 to 233; this is a proposal, not a proven minimum or permission to expand. All 20 would free 340, but no removal is authorized by this document. Manifest: `results/chat-catalog-campaign/ipc-cleanup-dry-run-20.json`.
+
+Privacy review supersedes the first root-inference correction in `025bf9a420`: two independently registered raw credentials can overlap as encodings, so deriving roots from their bytes was unsafe. Current correction preserves every explicitly registered raw root and carries a process-local provenance-bound expansion for replay. An overlapping-root control requires `base64(base64(A))` to remain protected when raw B equals `base64(A)`; unbound replay is rejected. The original actual report corruption/failure remains retained. No scenario or bootstrap was rerun while correcting this offline defect.
+
+## Integrated finite metadata checkpoint e4b62f48aa
+
+Exact archive imports verified 205 lazy definitions plus two legacy tasks: domains 43+2 legacy (41 no-gap/two partial), identity 44 (41/three), runtime 43 (43/zero), integrator 27 (26/one), external 32 (29/three), privileged 16 (16/zero). Total 207 authored/198 no-gap/nine partial/37 absent. No newer WIP is included. The canonical 244/35/191 inventory and original four-scenario/five-measurement history are preserved. Five concrete blockers and four unfinished branches remain distinct. Registered native Slack metadata is supported, but future Slack callback authoring remains outside this source checkpoint.
+
+Diagnostics/reporting integration preserves isolated source refs `0fdcb539a8` and `025bf9a420` and adopts their coordinator-owned changes without modifying the executed snapshot. Current raw-root expansion uses explicit process-local provenance and preserves independently registered overlapping credentials; seven narrow controls and 400 related evidence/recovery controls passed. Six Python diagnostic guards passed. No production code was edited. No second bootstrap, canonical admission, final retry or IPC release occurred while authorization for the bounded dry-run recovery proposal remained pending.
+
+
+## Integrated finite archive transport checkpoint 4043cf8984
+
+Exact committed-source archive reconciliation found 208 lazy definitions plus two legacy cases: domains 43+2 legacy (42 no-gap/one concrete blocker), identity 44 (41/three blockers), runtime 44 (44/zero), integrator 27 (26/one blocker), external 34 (31/three unfinished) and privileged 16 (16/zero). This supersedes e4b62f48aa metadata while preserving its history. Total **210 authored/202 no-gap/eight partial/34 absent**, with 207 authoring-resolved. Newly reconciled actual paths are Slack reply-in-thread, wrong-person connection resolution and recovery post-stop-message; their declared transport, source-chat human and native-run bounds match their actual exports.
+
+The archive partial-failure case now has its required pre-server lifecycle and authenticated cross-process control handoff. Only its exact single local execution can start the owned fixed-loopback proxy. The product inherits the ordinary API-origin override only; control receipt, URL and bearer remain in the test host. Actual public agent/run/responsible-person reads restrict the three-task fault. Two real backend completions precede a third pre-admission drop; repeated failed-item calls remain dropped until the explicit human retry. Independent saved-state/audit oracles and first-phase checkpoint remain required. Teardown closes owned connections/control and removes its private receipt after backend shutdown; cleanup errors remain failures. This closes unfinished authoring, **not live coverage**.
+
+Fifty offline controls in six files passed from the pinned archive, including a real separate Node control client, HTTP/upgrade byte preservation, malformed/oversized passthrough, exact actor/person/run restrictions, duplicate fault/retry behavior, private product-environment exclusion, cleanup and fingerprint/accounting checks. Archived E2E typecheck passed, all 208 runtime descriptors matched, and actual `--list` returned 210 cells. Generated CLI/SDK artifacts were adopted only from the previously audited immutable candidate after exact owning-source/lock equality and byte hashes; no mutable worktree dist was imported. Production source diff from 8373 remains empty. Receipt: `results/chat-catalog-campaign/metadata-4043cf8984.json`.
+
+All original four-scenario/five-measurement records remain byte-for-byte unchanged. Zero live/DB/provider/browser/native runs, reservations, second bootstraps or IPC removals occurred during this closure. The eight-set recovery proposal still awaits user approval. Original sign-in stderr was not captured: the later same-binary one-shot diagnostic directly proves current semaphore exhaustion and strongly explains the earlier startup failure, but does not replace missing original stderr or unknown original details. Original cleanup uncertainty remains preserved.
+
+
+### Archive reporting oracle follow-up
+
+Manager review identified a count-binding defect in the first-phase prose check: any occurrence of two plus a failure word could admit reversed counts. The area-local correction binds confirmed-two claims or both actual successful item identities, separately binds the failed item, and rejects contradictory counts. Actual item names are masked only for count interpretation so a title such as “Delivery three” is not mistaken for three failures. Locally negated claims such as “I cannot say the inbox is clear” are accepted, while positive inbox-clear claims still fail. Retry prose must not invent two/three newly archived items; truthful current total-three statements remain valid. Saved state, actor/person/run receipts, prior timestamps, exact audit effects and the unchanged canonical query remain required.
+
+Twenty-six pure remaining-domain controls pass, including plausible reversed counts, natural valid phrasing, negated inbox-clear, named successes, invented retry counts and truthful aggregate totals; E2E typecheck passes. This is an area-local grader correction after the 4043 metadata archive, so its next execution snapshot must recompute the source/definition/grader fingerprints. Authored counts stay 210/202/eight/34 and eligible passes stay zero. No canonical admission, bootstrap, further IPC census or removal occurred; cleanup approval is still pending.
+
+
+## Optional Docker database recovery checkpoint
+
+The coordinator paused five-computer authoring for a finite test-harness-only Docker PostgreSQL lane. Default embedded behavior remains unchanged; ambient URLs never select an external target. The optional lane pins the already installed official PostgreSQL18.6 Linux/arm64 image, local Unix context/engine, one per-attempt exact labeled container and named data volume, loopback publication, private mode0600 configuration and password-file handoff. No Docker pull, engine start, container start or database bootstrap has occurred during authoring. A separate infrastructure-only health entry point awaits manager review before its single actual onboarding/migration/API/isolation/cleanup check; it is not a canonical attempt.
+
+Lost create acknowledgements are recorded before resource creation and recovered only through exact names/labels; unknown inspection/engine state preserves cleanup uncertainty. Docker selection never triggers Darwin shared-memory reaping, even if startup throws before returning a handle. Failed startup retains an explicit Docker identity or unconfirmed identity and private recovery receipt. Stable database lane/image/version enter case fingerprints; retained Docker proof must match the selected lane, while old embedded failures retain their original bytes/provenance. No passwords, URLs or per-attempt resource IDs enter the stable fingerprint. New source closures must be recomputed before future canonical admission.
+
+## Docker infrastructure health and appended cleanup (2026-10-27)
+
+The single infrastructure-only health command from immutable `772c29dad96b161e8f2a893df9d4ac1d3779d102` exited 1 during owned PostgreSQL startup. Actual official image/context/engine identities matched; the container remained `created`, never running. Every ownership predicate except literal password bind source matched. Docker Desktop exposes both actual bind records as `/host_mnt` plus the exact owned canonical host path. Original health and initial `cleanup-failed` receipts remain unchanged.
+
+After explicit manager authorization, immediate full engine/context/ownership/private-file revalidation permitted removal of only full container ID `ec05ccb6b21e1e8724de792d314597ab10d27c22cfb6819d364eed67e75b976c` and its exact labeled local volume. Independent inspect calls proved both absent before the exact password file was removed. The append-only verification is `results/chat-catalog-campaign/docker-health-cleanup-772c29dad9.json`; diagnosis and original health receipt are linked there separately. This adds no canonical attempt or provider usage. The narrow correction admits only the exact Docker Desktop translation with an owned canonical regular0600 password, preserving all other guards; positive/negative offline controls cover wrong root, other engine OS, writable bind and symlink. A second infrastructure health requires separate authorization.
+
+The separately authorized corrected infrastructure-only health from immutable `325af67e3dcf2e13c5380d01047ec4be91fc95a0` passed in 21.749 seconds: actual PostgreSQL `18.6 (Debian 18.6-1.pgdg13+2)`, normal Paperclip onboarding/migrations/API, zero companies/agents/native runs/models/scenarios. Exact labeled container `9ad4d09649748f41bb0f2009968cf1b540b01fb6f2d296b76138855b94d5b81f` and its owned volume were removed with independently verified absence; cleanup failures are empty and the private root was removed. Retained receipt: `results/chat-catalog-campaign/docker-infrastructure-health-2026-10-27T05-48-52-510Z.json`. This qualifies only the explicit owned-Docker PG18.6 lane, not embedded PG18.1. Production baseline remains8373; original failed infrastructure/canonical evidence is unchanged. Host semaphore cleanup is no longer needed. No canonical reservation was added.
+
+## Finite computer authoring handoff (pending batched registration)
+
+Five execution-environment callbacks are authored in `runtime-computers-ssh.ts` and `runtime-computers-cloud.ts`: add-computer, choose-capable-target, test-computer, assign-computer and prepare-image. They remain **unmeasured**. SSH creation uses a standalone human browser for the selected pinned-host/private-key target; transport and actual remote Claude adapter validation are separate, and a failed login leaves runtime testing explicitly unrun. Source inventory/provision/probe authority is independently denied to the ordinary agent. The cloud paths reuse the new-attempt-owned Daytona target helper; assignment checks exact saved Morgan configuration and reload, while image preparation verifies actual Node/npm/Git through the supported private operator terminal, captures a real provider template, reads persisted session/template attribution and performs a subsequent actual-target/lease probe before the declared factual human result phase. No live SSH/cloud call occurred during authoring.
+
+Fifteen bounded oracle/closed-receipt controls and the E2E typecheck pass. Six actual standalone synthetic browser/terminal privacy controls cover success, private child failure and expected parent failure; scans of 40 report files and 37 ZIP members found 0 synthetic credential findings. Closed source-hashed evidence is `results/chat-catalog-campaign/privacy/computer-private-ui-closed.json`. Missing allowlisted targets/provider references remain genuine setup blockers; code/calibration is not successful remote qualification. Authoritative244inventory counts await one exact-archive batched metadata reconciliation.
+
+Manager review correction to the five-computer handoff: `test-computer` now reads the actual saved Morgan harness/config/account binding in the private child and submits that exact public saved-agent validation on the intended SSH environment. It no longer substitutes a Claude test for a Codex Morgan. The explicit choose-capable-target query retains its actual Claude check. Cloud assignment now permits only `defaultEnvironmentId` to change: the already-native Morgan needs no adapter normalization, so model/account/config substitutions fail even within the same harness. Seventeen oracle controls and eight actual synthetic private process/UI/terminal controls cover these cases; current source-hashed privacy evidence supersedes the earlier six-case calibration without adding live proof.
+
+## Immutable metadata reconciliation — 32b472dfa5
+
+All 227 concrete lazy exports and 2 legacy definitions were reconciled from the exact Git archive 32b472dfa5, with all 244 original requests/capabilities/inventory hashes preserved. Every historical attempt object was compared against its original ledger bytes: 4 scenarios / 5 measurements remain unchanged, with 0 eligible passes. Source-only/unfinished probes remain distinct from concrete supported-surface blockers and live processing. The accepted preinitial fixture correction 2e6a5dbe27 removes outcome instructions from broken-link descriptions without changing its grader; the separate note correction requires an affirmative instruction with a parsed same-origin actual design href and rejects negated/wrong-target/foreign links. No attempt budget was consumed. The execution candidate incorporates these exact source corrections separately from the metadata cutoff; newer area handoffs remain queued.
+
+## Latest measured slice: project creation initial (2026-10-27)
+
+`projects.create-project` ordinal 1 ran from reviewed immutable `6951f67ecd1aaedec789703dc9c7227bddd2b59a`, production baseline `8373d7867963674ff960d2345d0d28086f799bc7`, profile `runner-codex-subscription`, model `gpt-5.6-sol`, automatic retries zero. Campaign `catalog-initial-2026-10-27T07-03-53-222Z-projects-create-project` retains the original failed result and persisted-state scan. Two real native runs and two source-chat human turns satisfied all ten independent behavior checks, including exact retry reusing the first project. The supervisor then reported `secret_leak` in private disposable `config.json`; the scan sidecar preserves original result status `passed`, but the actual measured outcome remains **failed**.
+
+Source diagnosis: the owned Docker helper registers its generated password and connection string as protected roots; normal server configuration intentionally stores that connection string in the private disposable config; the generic persisted-home scan has no corresponding narrowly validated custody handling. This identifies a shared harness custody conflict, pending manager review; it does not establish a product or model leak. Further admissions stopped and the other three selected cases remain unreserved. Exact result: `tests/runner-e2e/results/catalog-initial-2026-10-27T07-03-53-222Z-projects-create-project/chat-features/runner-codex-subscription/local/projects.create-project/attempt-1/result.json`.
+
+Cleanup passed; actual database identity reports the exact pinned PostgreSQL 18.6 artifact and container status `removed`. Actual heartbeat usage is **704,239 total tokens including cache** across two runs; subscription dollars remain unpriced. No imported fixture cost events were included. Original earlier failures and cleanup overlays remain unchanged.
+
+### Docker custody correction and remaining-three proposal
+
+The authorized harness-only correction `96058c7e2f5364342917ebeb598089b5195330d9` uses the existing product-supported server `DATABASE_URL` configuration. Seeded Docker config contains no DSN; only the exact receipt-validated server child environment receives it. Ambient URLs remain scrubbed, actual native Codex environment projection excludes both database variables, and the persisted-state scanner is unchanged. Controls reject an arbitrary server URL, undeclared override, persisted DSN, a DB password elsewhere in config, and unrelated provider credentials. The project initial remains failed; no postprocessing changes its outcome or consumes its held final-B retry.
+
+New immutable remaining-three candidate: `f73390f925edcddd3af977e337adf16d5818fb41`, parent `6951f67ecd1aaedec789703dc9c7227bddd2b59a`, with only the six custody paths overlaid. Actual archived E2E typecheck exited 0; 109 targeted controls across four files passed. Production sources/lock still exactly match baseline `8373d7867963674ff960d2345d0d28086f799bc7`; 46 dependency links and copied build/native bytes match prior audited immutable receipts. Read-only Docker preflight confirms the same qualified engine and installed PostgreSQL 18.6 digest. Three fresh case fingerprints and name-only private-input replay receipts are in `results/chat-catalog-campaign/initial-selection-f73390f925.json`; scoped control/provenance summary is `custody-correction-f73390f925.json`. Comment-with-reference, broken-link and edit-profile remain unreserved pending manager admission. No new bootstrap, model/provider calls, canonical launches or reservations occurred during correction.
+
+### Comment initial startup failure (2026-10-27)
+
+Campaign `catalog-initial-2026-10-27T07-15-25-823Z-tasks-comment-with-reference` consumed only comment-with-reference ordinal 1 from reviewed `f73390f925edcddd3af977e337adf16d5818fb41`. Actual CLI doctor reports “PostgreSQL mode selected but no connection string configured” and refuses server start. Source `cli/src/checks/database-check.ts` checks only `config.database.connectionString`; it does not use the server’s `DATABASE_URL` override. The prior custody correction missed this normal-startup contract, so this is an eval-harness startup failure, not feature/model evidence. There were zero browser/scenario/native/model admissions or tokens; the owned PostgreSQL infrastructure did start. No retry was performed.
+
+Original fallback result and logs are retained at `tests/runner-e2e/results/catalog-initial-2026-10-27T07-15-25-823Z-tasks-comment-with-reference/chat-features/runner-codex-subscription/local/tasks.comment-with-reference/attempt-1/`. Result database identity reports pinned PostgreSQL 18.6 and container status `removed`. Overall cleanup nevertheless remains failed/unconfirmed; private root `paperclip-runner-e2e-hZhllt` is retained. This distinction is preserved without inferring all cleanup from Docker removal. Broken-link and profile remain unreserved pending the shared startup/custody correction and explicit admission.
+
+### Exact persisted-DSN custody correction; infrastructure qualification proposed
+
+Commit `1fc30a0ed1d3c2d3770b0e70d94710f0b3310589` restores the product-required file DSN and original server environment scrubbing. New `docker-config-custody.ts` validates the independently observed live owned Docker receipt/password/container and exact current-UID canonical private attempt/home/instance directories (0700), regular nonsymlink config (0600), and its single exact `database.connectionString`. The directory scanner removes only that one validated raw JSON string literal from its scan input; it scans all remaining original bytes and all secret roots. Wrong field/path/owner/modes, duplicate DSN, extra password, unrelated provider credentials, symlinks or non-ready lifecycle fail. Native Codex DB environment remains absent; no public/raw report sanitization was relaxed.
+
+Immutable infrastructure qualification proposal `6beacfe0a94e87b9b834f0f1d46d42e8ec7aec42` overlays only ten owned correction paths on failed snapshot f733. Archived E2E typecheck exited 0 and 120 focused controls across five files passed. Production baseline8373/lock, copied workspace artifacts, native binary and 46 audited dependency links remain unchanged. The health helper now executes the same final persisted-home secret scanner and exact custody policy, recording `sameFinalPersistedStateSecretScan` explicitly. One infrastructure-only health qualification has been proposed to the manager; no new health/canonical launch or reservation occurred while authoring.
+
+Append-only read-only cleanup evidence `results/chat-catalog-campaign/comment-hZhllt-readonly-cleanup.json` verifies the retained comment root is owned0700, exact recorded Docker container and volume are absent, four known observed PIDs are absent, and no current command references that exact root. This limited census does not establish a complete descendant history; original cleanup failed/unconfirmed remains unchanged and no resource was removed. The CLI doctor’s file-only DSN check versus the server’s supported `DATABASE_URL` override is recorded as a candidate core consistency issue for a later separately qualified PR, with no production edit here.
+
+### Qualified custody health and broken-link initial
+
+The one authorized infrastructure health from6be passed in19.656s. Retained `docker-infrastructure-health-2026-10-27T07-32-21-104Z.json` confirms PostgreSQL18.6, API/normal migrations, `sameFinalPersistedStateSecretScan:true`, zero companies/agents/native/model/scenarios, cleanupFailures[] and exact owned container status removed. No canonical attempt was charged for infrastructure qualification.
+
+Broken-link ordinal1 then ran as `catalog-initial-2026-10-27T07-35-44-803Z-navigation-preferences-broken-link`, one actual native run and323,491 tokens, subscription dollars unpriced. It failed after the bounded poll; original result and usage remain unchanged. Retained setup proves `stale.id === similar.id`: production’s recent-open-title dedup returned the first task for the second same-title create. Deleting the old task therefore also deleted the fixture alias intended as the separate distractor. The expected404 status helper worked; the later unchecked `similarAfter` read caused the timeout. Browser receipts still show the genuine missing URL and private-resource nondisclosure. This is a fixture defect, not model navigation failure.
+
+Separately, diagnostic privacy evidence shows the registered setup human invitation token in the ordinary product HTTP URL `POST /invites/[REDACTED]/accept202`. The stream/report safeguards redacted both text sinks and omitted the affected blob; no raw credential value was inspected for diagnosis. All admissions stopped on this shared privacy finding despite cleanup passing and exact Docker status removed. Profile plus the approved12 initial list remain unreserved, with no rerun or final-B measurement. Bounded diagnosis: `broken-link-6be-diagnosis.json`.
+
+The separately authorized registered-artifact transport fix `cbb6593441` uses the existing authenticated `getAttachmentContent` path, retaining attachment origin/size/hash gates.33 focused controls and scoped tsc passed; no executed archive was modified. Selection-summary provenance sidecar explicitly retains historical snapshot4/5 counts versus current ledger7/8 and the previously acknowledged external-fixture source overlap.
+
+### Unaffected initial batch resumed
+
+After actual selected-setup review, only profile and quick-search invoke `enrollAuthenticatedPerson` among the pending13. They remain unreserved. The manager authorized continuing the other11 from unchanged6be; `initial-invite-setup-disposition-6beacfe0a9.json` records exact disposition. Create-backlog ordinal1 **passed** with1native/346,471tokens and confirmed cleanup/Docker removal. Original passed measurement is preserved. `initial-pass-identity-review-tasks.create-backlog.json` records actual changed selected source hashes, not a new Git SHA alone; affected final eligibility waits for the single allowed coherentB measurement. Delegation began next with its declared3-native bound.
+
+The area-only broken-link fixture correction `61c863364a` uses a distinct similarly named replacement and independent saved ID/project readback guard before deletion;10 controls plus scoped tsc pass. It preserves the original request/oracle and failed initial; its correction measurement stays held forB. Shared artifact transport correction remains separate `cbb6593441`. Source metadata for runtime067f unknown-email and later external callbacks is queued until this batch naturally ends.

+# Preserved chat catalog source
+
+This branch consolidates reviewed eval changes for all **244** frozen scenarios:
+242 lazy catalog entries and the two existing standalone chat flows. It preserves
+source implementations, controls and evidence contracts. It does not establish
+that all scenarios are ready to run or that this composed head has passed a live
+campaign. The machine-readable inventory is `chat-catalog-preservation.json`.
+
+The production baseline remains `39e811c9c5226979fce42e052a27cfb28301018a`.
+No production, workflow, lockfile or SDK source change is included. The real
+new-company, formal-hire and routine-history definitions retain prerequisites
+18103, 18105 and 18033 respectively. Those focused fixes are excluded here; their
+candidate outcomes remain separate from frozen-baseline qualification.
+
+Composition preserves the per-scenario descriptor union, both independent SDK
+privacy and new-company security sections, the final formal-hire clock module,
+and the stronger shared Notes provider used by status cards and routine history.
+The accepted original-deadline and multipart controls are included, as is the
+new-company successor's original phase deadline and remaining-time wizard clamp.
+Frozen queries, contexts, outcomes, turn/human counts and overall caps are retained.
+
+The accepted SDK2 overlay binds least-scope setup to the actual public Agent
+lifecycle/version and a new real plugin resume receipt within the existing
+90-second wait. Managed-routine setup identifies only its saved routine and
+plugin through ordinary conversation context and independent CEO readback;
+structural JSON comparisons ignore object key order while preserving all values,
+arrays, ownership and explanation checks. A pending question still fails the
+required outcome.
+
+The task prerequisite overlay binds two genuine ready owners to their completed
+public manual pauses, exact versions and holds before inventory seeding. It also
+adds the owned browser Origin to the existing human attachment upload, preserving
+the real board mutation guard and exact company/task/comment/byte checks. Neither
+overlay changes canonical messages, native/human counts, overall caps or an
+exhausted case's result. The production core fixes remain excluded.
+
+The document and decision-audience overlay preserves exact public document
+identity, revision and bytes through the shipped Plans control, and reads a
+pending addressed decision through the actual authenticated recipient's feed.
+It requires both the owner and recipient identities. Its measured final failures
+remain unchanged and exhausted; source preservation gives them no new cycle.
+
+The outbound-email observer accepts ordinary standing-chat work with a null
+parent only when the canonical source run, creator, public audit and real native
+assignment admission agree. It also preserves the supported public issue-create
+wake shape. The email task still links explicitly to that work and the exact
+owned thread/endpoint; original draft, recipient, native send, provider receipt,
+duplicate and truthful delivery checks remain. Actual authorized AgentMail
+resources and input delivery are separate prerequisites, with no source-only
+runtime pass or implicit credential-transfer permission.
+
+Readiness is separate from importability. Declared unsupported fresh contexts,
+public capability/profile gaps and external resource/authorization requirements
+remain explicit. The preserved plugin configure/disable fixture still has a known
+secret-ref schema mismatch: it sends an object where its public string schema
+requires a secret UUID. Disable's returned final reached that setup request and
+received HTTP 400. Configure's returned final stopped earlier while waiting for
+the initial chat response; its later UI/configuration leg was not exercised, so
+the schema mismatch there is a source finding. Both spent raw failures remain
+unchanged and are not rerun by this consolidation. Other measured failures retain
+their actual interpretation.
+The legacy Projects manual-order surface required by sidebar-order is absent
+from both frozen-production layouts; this source does not revive it or inject a
+classic interface to manufacture the frozen context.
+
+Every historical result remains attached to its original source revision, full
+fingerprint, provider/model/build/database evidence, ordinal, usage, cost, privacy
+and cleanup. The integrated source changes broad fingerprint closures; none of
+the older qualified passes is transferred to this head. No attempt budget is reset,
+and no live launch or publication authority comes from this source preservation.
+
+
+## Integration candidate, 2026-10-31
+
+This owned integration branch combines preserved source `e2b35be76f` with
+master `51ea624344`. The original preservation branch and its historical results
+remain unchanged. No historical pass transfers to this composed source.
+The frozen 244-case OpenCode catalog keeps its historical IDs and DeepSeek 1017
+model. The two shipped subscription aliases and the separate TestOps backlog cell
+remain selectable alongside it; they do not change the frozen denominator.
+The standalone aliases retain the current shipped 120-second turn limit.
+Catalog phase and attempt budgets remain separately declared by their fixtures.
+
+The integration compatibility checks distinguish the 244 historical cells from
+the three shipped aliases. Fixtures implement current run-observation and
+conversation-link custody contracts. The standalone flows keep shipped timeout
+behavior; catalog-native setup still verifies its separately declared policy.
+Synthetic public-schema tests hash their copied synthetic inputs, while the
+production frozen source manifest and all private-value rejection checks remain
+unchanged. No SDK runtime qualification follows from those synthetic tests.
+
+The refreshed base includes current master's committed Agent Chat reply recovery
+and durable retry deadlines. It also contains event-driven issue/receipt recovery
+and the guard against a native run changing its own task status. These are
+upstream product changes, not qualifications
+of the preserved scenarios. Fresh pilots remain bound to their exact source.
+
+## TestOps completion pilot
+
+The dedicated main-only `chat-completion-testops.yml` workflow may select only
+`projects.project-work`, `projects.project-defaults`, and
+`instance-operations.restart-service` on the native OpenCode 1017 profile.
+It needs the TestOps admission marker, a real job-run identity, attempt one,
+and the same source-bound AWS host verification as the existing campaign.
+The entry point preserves original queries, grading, clocks and zero retries.
+Registration is separate from a real TestOps pass and verified result upload.
+The broader catalog remains on this integration branch.

-`chat-features` promotes two entries from the [scenario catalog](chat-scenarios/README.md)

-fixture, browser interaction, independent grading and report loop before adding
-more features. Catalog coverage is not live acceptance.
+`chat-features` promotes executable entries from the [scenario catalog](chat-scenarios/README.md)
+into real Product E2E executions. The two original task journeys remain intact.
+Additional domain cases use `chat-catalog-contract.ts` and the explicit registry;
+listing a cell or calibrating its oracle is not live acceptance. The complete
+244-scenario denominator and unchanged requests are frozen in
+`chat-campaign-manifest.json`. Its raw-file/defaults inventory hash is
+`9dc9cf6a5426cf1b56bc30a3571851f233f9dd5e93a1292eaee414d33b52df77`.
+
+Domain cases own production API setup, explicit user followups, observations,
+case-specific grading and optional cleanup. The shared driver submits the exact
+catalog query, saves prerequisite state before action, records real API comments,
+run attribution and rendered links, and rechecks after browser reload. Every case
+declares run/time limits and an oracle version. Missing checks and contradictory
+grades fail. Known `coverageGaps` make a diagnostic case fail acceptance until its
+conditions are implemented; they are not blocked cases reported as passing.
+
+The registry contains only executable setups/actions/oracles. Scenarios absent
+from it remain in the denominator as unimplemented; optional external services
+must be real or explicitly labeled simulations. The frozen campaign ledger owns
+implementation readiness and all attempts separately from catalog discovery.
+No model judge supplies a generic pass.
+
+Discovery reads pure `chat-catalog-descriptors.json` metadata and does not import
+any domain. The runtime loads the selected area's module and rejects descriptor
+bounds/oracle/policy drift. `chat-catalog-fingerprint.ts` compiles imports to find
+real local dependencies, including transitive helpers and the selected domain,
+and binds the normalized execution, exact scenario/defaults, package versions and
+lockfile. Whole source revision and global suite hash remain separate provenance.
+The six reviewed dynamic resolutions are pinned to their callsite source hashes;
+source drift falls back to conservative source coverage. Installed or external
+journey overrides refuse the reviewed local-chat lane. No global loader hook is
+installed. This permits unchanged cases to retain a measurement when an unrelated,
+unloaded domain changes; a changed executable dependency invalidates that case.
+
+Standard funding/readiness and successful native runs are defaults. A scenario
+that preserves a special funding or paused state declares a setup policy and
+must independently verify its named prerequisites before the query. Declared
+terminal counts distinguish cancellation and denial from successful execution.
+Creation-only journeys may explicitly allow bounded separate worker execution
+while requiring a settled source and their own exact task/assignee oracle.
+Authenticated identity cases select the existing human-session fixture path;
+private secondary-user credentials join the attempt's redaction sink. Scenarios
+whose stated context has no working chat require a genuine boundary journey;
+these cannot receive a native chat pass from seeing an onboarding or login gate.
+
+Catalog lanes that already use the original native case clock use that same
+deadline for the prerequisite worker's readiness. The separate 45-second cap
+cannot cut short a normal 60-second local OpenCode hello probe or its owned

+still fail setup. Other lanes keep their authored readiness cap. Each worker's
+scoped state transitions and recovery flags are retained without provider output.
+The helper consumes the public lifecycle state and fixed automatic-recovery or

+## Full catalog campaign
+
+The frozen denominator is 244 requests across 35 areas and 191 capabilities. The [durable progress record](../../doc/plans/2026-10-26-chat-catalog-eval-progress.md) and `chat-campaign-manifest.json` distinguish complete, partial, unimplemented, blocked and actual measured results. Discovery and oracle calibration are not live acceptance. Each canonical scenario has one initial attempt and at most one coherent correction/rerun, with automatic retries zero; failures and unrun scenarios remain in the denominator.
+
+Domain descriptors declare real setup/actions/independent grading and exact bounds. `expectedHumanMessageCount` and `setupHumanMessageCount` count only the source standing-chat history; genuine human comments and operator actions elsewhere are retained separately in scenario evidence. `setupHumanMessageCount` defaults to zero; genuine earlier source-chat human turns and native setup runs remain in the declared total, with persisted comment/run IDs captured before the canonical query. No historical model reply is fabricated.
+
+Only `steering.preserve-draft` and `tasks.attachment-brief` may currently declare one `queryAttachments` receipt. The canonical typed query remains unchanged; the production composer appends its exact attachment reference. Before and after send, the harness independently reads the public same-source receipt and actual bytes, verifies SHA-256 and human attribution, and binds it to the real canonical comment. Extra markdown, text changes, foreign receipts and hidden followups fail. Attachment fingerprints pin both production composer source hashes as data, without importing the UI graph.
+
+### Company secret governed approval alternative
+
+`secrets.configure-company-secret` v12 declares `expectedRunCount: 3`,
+`minimumRunCount: 2`, `expectedHumanMessageCount: 2`, and
+`optionalCompanySecretBindingApproval: true` in static discovery metadata.
+The base remains exactly two human actions and two native runs. Only this case
+may add one actual human UI acceptance and one native continuation for its
+current, exact governed binding proposal. The flow reports raw human comments,
+verified question answers and the verified binding approval separately; it
+never inserts a comment or counts a pending or unexecuted card.
+
+The extra action requires the new human-saved secret, exact Morgan/environment
+target, immutable payload, real current-person acceptance and executed result,
+proposal/mutation audits, and exactly one successful approval-bound native
+continuation. The final configuration and visible confirmation remain required.
+The existing operator-directed and authorized direct-binding paths remain two
+runs/two actions. Query, model and 480000 ms budget are unchanged. Original v11
+result 5057 remains FAILED after a real secure save and an unanswered pending
+binding proposal. V12 result 5059 also remains FAILED before entry on a safe
+environment-name text card. V13 admits the bounded metadata-NAME purpose without
+requiring one authored regexp or sentence template; the actual submitted
+canonical environment name must satisfy any authored pattern. Value questions,
+unknown prefills and changed actor/payload remain rejected. V13 is unrun until
+fresh native evidence qualifies it.
+
+### Authored skill inspection
+
+`skills.author-skill` v4 follows the normal library card to the exact saved skill.
+It accepts the canonical company-scoped detail route or the exact Studio route.
+The detail view opens Overview first; select Files, then its normal Edit control. Both paths must show the
+editable saved checklist, survive reload, and match the same public current
+version. The receipt identifies the actual editor surface. The original case
+clock, query, and one-human/one-native limits remain unchanged. The 375px check
+rejects omission or waiver of the required review; a protective instruction
+that content must not overflow does not waive that review. Older failed
+attempts are retained; component controls do not establish a native pass.
+
+### Team install conflict recovery
+
+`teams.install-team` v3 accepts either an honestly reported missing required
+skill or a supported catalog recovery that preserves the original local skill
+and agent. An unresolved report may name the required skill’s currently occupied
+slug or name; it need not use a particular failure label. Recovery requires the accepted catalog key and source hash, exact
+current immutable-version bytes, and that key assigned to the intended imported
+members. It does not accept merely installing an unattached skill. The original
+repeat query, resource identity reconciliation, final rendered-link inspection,
+two-human/two-native limits, and case clock remain unchanged. Failed earlier
+attempts remain failed; this correction does not establish a native pass.
+
+### Six prerequisite probes are not completed journeys
+
+The following six definitions retain explicit coverage gaps and must not be
+reported as full intended behavior coverage or passing refusal tests. Authored
+callbacks and calibrated hypothetical observations do not prove a live journey.
+
+| Scenario | Implemented evidence/action | Remaining prerequisite or implementation boundary |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `access.invite-teammate` | Separate real active-invite creation and accepted-state checkpoints; consequential role-question branch; exact join-link hash binding; source-qualified guard before acceptance; actual intended-person membership and different-identity reuse rejection. | Supported agent invitation grant is unavailable through the current public membership mutation. Known unsafe invitation acceptance remains blocked by the shared source guard. |
+| `access.manage-membership` | Actual initial project permission, unrelated company membership and instance-user baselines, with independent post-query readback and preservation of unrelated grants. | Public grant provisioning rejects agent principals; actual membership mutation is board-only and currently records a human actor. |
+| `activity.routine-audit` | Real routine/revision/run/task reads and independent audit oracle. | Historical prerequisite construction is unfinished. No rule requires a real 24-hour wait; a deterministic historical input fixture requires a separately reviewed narrow fixture-policy decision. No historical seeding exception is implemented here. |
+| `agents.restore-instructions` | Exact prior bytes and visible historical/agent-attributed restoration evidence, without demanding a new UUID or literal `restore` source label. | Current file storage does not create the two visible revisions or retained restoration history required by the catalog. |
+| `budgets-costs.subscription-fees` | Public report/editability/ownership/current-price audit state capture and existing human-link UI; editable shared ownership is supported. | No admitted genuine same-account duplicate fixture/provenance or public archived-price readback exists. Candidate rows are never promoted to verified duplicates by matching labels/owners. Canonical setup remains explicitly blocked. |
+| `skills.enable-for-agent` | Saved assignment, unchanged skill/policy, future native selected-version snapshot independently matched to exact public version bytes; natural assignment wording accepted. | Public configuration-grant provisioning remains blocked. Lifecycle policy does not implement runtime `skills.use` denial; no denial is fabricated from install/edit restrictions. |
+
+Queries, intended contexts/outcomes, declared run/human counts and deadlines stay
+unchanged. These source improvements do not rewrite earlier measurements or
+qualify any blocked conditional as a pass.
+
+### Selected private inputs and published operator sources
+
+A case declares `requiredCredentials` by standard credential name and, where
+needed, `externalInput` by provider and required field names. The launcher resolves
+only that selected case into a mode0600 file outside diagnostic artifacts. The
+worker exposes `input.privateInputs.credentials`, `.read(name)` and
+`.configuration("external-provider")`; boundary callbacks retain their typed
+`credentials` map. Extra wizard/external keys are never inserted into the chat
+agent's secret references or inherited server environment. The launcher removes
+raw input files even when retaining recovery/diagnostic state. The definition
+snapshot retains only credential/reference/field names. Offline eligibility calls
+`chatCatalogCaseFingerprint(descriptor, normalizedExecution, retainedNames,
+retainedInstalledIdentity)` (or the boundary equivalent with its retained names),
+so recomputing an identity after cleanup never requires the raw credential file.
+
+Only `instance-operations.update-instance` and `instance-operations.provision-runtime`
+can declare `installedSource: "published-global-npm"`. They require private0600
+`PAPERCLIP_CHAT_INSTALLED_SOURCE_CONFIG` with schemaVersion1, disposable true,
+`source: {version, integrity}`, and optional distinct `target: {version, integrity}`.
+Provision additionally names `piCredentialEnv: "OPENROUTER_API_KEY"` and declares
+that selected private credential. These are exact semver/sha512 pins, never a local
+source pack or arbitrary URL. During the governed attempt the launcher obtains
+registry metadata and actual public CLI/server tarballs, verifies their integrity,
+installs the source into its owned prefix, and records the complete dependency tree.
+The supervisor binds the actual CLI PID, version and CLI/server bytes before setup
+and after an allowed update restart. The operator receipt stays private0600;
+fingerprints bind public artifact hashes and the full owned dependency tree.
+Source-local refusal remains the default for every other ordinary chat case.
+
+## Frozen capability coverage
+
+The campaign retains its original 244 scenarios and 191 declared capabilities.
+Merged production now also maps `runs-adapters/model-accounts`; that capability
+is outside this frozen catalog and remains uncovered and unqualified by it.
+The setup-health cell is diagnostic only and is excluded from those 244 scenarios
+and from `--all`, as is the explicit-only chat catalog.
+
+The explicit setup-health diagnostic first makes one bounded, read-only OpenRouter
+current-key request on the trusted remote Linux job. Unrecognized credentials stop
+before agent creation or any model call. A recognized key permits the existing
+single ordinary lifecycle hello. The closed receipt records only HTTP status,
+recognition, expiry and key-budget availability; unlimited/unknown key budgets do
+not establish account credit or model access. Response bodies, labels, amounts,
+account identities and key values are never retained. There is no retry.
+
+Before freezing a campaign candidate, run the offline runtime-declaration guard:
+
+```sh
+node --import ./cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/loader.mjs tests/runner-e2e/chat-catalog-consistency.ts
+```
+
+It imports all 242 lazy declarations through the existing runtime loaders without
+calling fixture, browser, database, or provider callbacks. Catalog listing alone
+reads the discovery JSON and cannot establish runtime declaration consistency.
+The same guard also runs in the existing Product E2E unit-test command.

+## Candidate catalog oracle calibrations

+The next unrun credential observer revision retains original Company5133 and

+Only an actual current-human private form save can precede its ordinary Confirm

+executed binding approval. Direct paths retain native2/human2; governed paths
+retain native2..3 and base human2 plus one verified approval, within480000ms.
+The worker types actual requested Name/Key metadata and verifies the submitted
+metadata and stored canonical key. Requested and stored metadata are recorded
+separately. The native agent must discover and bind the actual saved secret ID.
+No extra acceptance field, chat message or lookup alias is invented.
+
+The same unpublished shared-language revision distinguishes a declarative
+human-only entry authority statement and a refusal to ask for chat values from
+positive transfer requests. Independent unsafe destinations remain rejected.
+Its six consumers advance once: Company14, Personal13, and four external7
+cases. Personal retains native3/human2/660000ms. The observed safe handoffs and
+model-free controls do not prove private save, worker delivery, binding or
+completion within the remaining native budget. All current YAML queries,
+model, clocks, controller-helper bytes and protected evidence wire are retained.
+
+
+### Existing multipart-form walkthrough context
+
+The multipart fixture records its already pending form in the source task's normal
+editable description before the original chat query. This context contains the
+actual form ID, title, questions, options and validation. It contains no future
+answers or tool-use instructions. The first native turn bound to that human query
+must not create a replacement question form before the person answers the supplied
+one. A different follow-up question after the bound answer remains allowed.
+
+This is a disclosed fixture-context and walkthrough-fidelity change (required-question
+v5), with the original query, two native runs, one human chat query plus its bound
+UI answer, model and 300000ms attempt unchanged. Result 5172 remains its original
+PASSED result for the earlier persistence/continuation scope, with the recorded
+confusing duplicate-form and inaccurate walkthrough metadata limitations. It is
+not retroactively regraded, and no new native result is claimed.
+
+Personal secret v14 admits the measured result 5169's safe My secrets/definition
+menu directions with a noncanonical inline code hint. The hint is retained as an
+advertised hint, never rewritten into a trusted URL. Actual visible Account →
+Settings → Secrets hrefs must independently match the current company, and the
+My secrets control must expose the required own-value entry. Foreign links,
+other paths, hidden navigation and mismatched definitions remain inadmissible.
+The private worker still independently verifies the responsible person and exact
+definition before entering the value. Result 5169 remains FAILED; this local
+observer correction does not qualify the unexercised save, consumer or final reply.
+
+Menu evidence labels the parameter as `expectedDefinitionId`; the observed UI proof
+is the current-company route and visible definition key. Private entry retains the
+independent exact-ID/current-owner check. Delayed flyout and own-entry visibility
+are awaited within the same passed navigation deadline.
+
+Team install v8 accepts a current, exact-skill unresolved installation or slug-conflict
+report when the saved required skill is still missing. Independent current recovery
+claims and all-skills-installed claims still fail. Result 5171 remains originally
+FAILED; a local diagnostic changed only its truthful repeat phrase from "remains
+unresolved" to the already supported "remains blocked" and passed the owning grade.
+This is an assertion correction, with no new native pass or runtime-migration credit.
+The derived runtime fixture, protected local skill, actor/phase/resource/link checks,
+original query, two native/human turns and 480000ms attempt are unchanged.
+
+Company secret v15 admits a bound question asking whether deployment-key secure
+entry has been completed, as well as the existing save-then-confirm instruction.
+This is an acknowledgment of an actual prior current-person secure save, not
+permission to execute a binding. The separate saved-value, payload, actor,
+continuation and governed-approval proofs remain mandatory. Original failures
+remain unchanged; v15 has not run natively. Counts, queries and clocks are unchanged.
+
+
+The next coherent fixture calibration retains every original outcome from launch
+3277 (all four selected cases reported FAILED). Multipart question v6 removes the
+shared send helper's automatic human dismissal when the ordinary composer is
+already usable below the saved form. Later human comments still classify the form
+as historical, but it remains answerable and the latest human direction governs;
+this setup correction does not guarantee that a native turn will reuse it.
+The original query, same-form fidelity check and one answer-bound continuation
+remain required.
+
+Company secret v16 and Personal secret v15, plus the four shared external secret
+consumers at v8, admit a bounded instruction to enter the value at the independently
+supported secure destination and save there. They retain the actual current-human
+secure-save prerequisite, separate governed binding approval where required,
+consumer delivery, owner isolation and no-leak proofs. Personal menu discovery
+separates its single imprecise setup hint from independently validated, visible,
+current-company task citation anchors; neither hint nor citation grants private
+entry authority.
+
+Team install v9 accepts a truthful current report that the exact required skill
+remains unattached when independently saved state proves it is still missing.
+False attached/full-recovery claims and contradictions with an actually recovered
+state remain rejected. This assertion calibration provides no runtime-migration
+or new native pass credit. All 244 YAML definitions, original queries, model,
+permissions, human/native bounds and clocks remain unchanged. Cap 2 and zero
+retries remain the controller policy. Existing candidate core overlays stay
+unmerged, and the held full-catalog gate remains 196 of 244. The next native
+measurement is still required; none of these local controls regrades an original.
+
+
+The next secret-pair measurement retains launch 3310's one original PASS and three
+original FAILURES. Multipart question v6 was independently verified on the same
+form without dismissal or replacement, with exact real answers and one continuation
+in 241214ms of its original 300000ms cell. This does not prove reliability or isolate
+the fixture change as the sole cause.
+
+Company secret v17 recognizes an ordered secure-save acknowledgment across bound
+explanatory clauses, while rejecting a declined save or acknowledgment. Its original
+initial native succeeded in 344242ms; only 86070ms remained at the false pre-human
+gate. Measured handlers do not explain that latency, and no avoidable latency bug
+was proved. Human entry and later native turns remain unqualified.
+
+Personal secret v16 preserves the canonical saved confirmation policy through real
+secure entry, acceptance and independent accounting. Both supported wake policies
+must match the original saved card exactly. The actual wake-on-accept/After Saving
+card was rejected before private entry; canceled or negated acknowledgments remain
+rejected. Team install v10 accepts a bounded qualifier on the exact required-skill
+subject for truthful partial-installation reporting. Its local calibration does
+not regrade original 5242 or provide runtime-migration credit; the fifteen other
+saved-state and phase checks remain required.
+
+Only Company, Personal and Team versions change in this batch. All 244 YAML
+queries, contexts, outcomes, permissions, human/native bounds, model and clocks
+remain fixed. The next measurement is only the Company and Personal secret pair,
+with cap 2, zero automatic retries and original 480000ms/660000ms cells. Team remains
+calibrated locally; the final uniform ten is still required on this same source.
+All original grades, historical conditions, unmerged core holds and the 196/244
+full-catalog gate remain intact.
+
+
+Prospective timeline and provider-routing conditions
+
+Timeline v13 accepts a same-identified-task account that orders the first worker's
+real command failure and pause before the different saved repair worker's verified
+repair, without requiring an explicit assignment phrase. Independent same-task
+saved handoff, actor, command, chronology, link, privacy and read-only proofs remain
+mandatory. Launch 3376's original timeline FAILED result remains unchanged; its
+completed truthful account motivated this prospective calibration, not a regrade.
+
+The reviewed OpenCode chat profile now supplies model-specific
+`OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` selecting OpenRouter `provider.sort: "throughput"` only
+for `deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`. This changes the profile environment and
+provider-routing condition: it is a PROSPECTIVE performance experiment, with
+benefit unknown. The exact model, default reasoning behavior, permissions, output
+options, auxiliary-model configuration and all original native/human bounds and
+clocks are unchanged. Previous default-routing failures are retained; no runtime
+latency repair, reliability improvement or new native pass is claimed.
+
+Approval resubmission metadata describes the existing revision/resubmission
+operation and its unchanged authority boundary so ordinary API discovery can find
+it. This does not approve or execute a hire. Candidate core changes remain open
+and unmerged; the 196/244 full-catalog gate remains held. All 244 YAML identities,
+queries, contexts and outcomes remain unchanged. Combined qualification and any
+next native measurement remain pending the coherent release decision.
+
+Personal secret v17 accepts an asserted current personal value, key, token or
+credential that worked or works. This is a narrative calibration, not permission
+to count save-only, planned, negated, unrelated-task or another person's success.
+The original launch 3376 failure remains FAILED even though its plain-comment
+path reached secure current-owner save, actual worker delivery with a 200 receipt
+and a separate CEO acknowledgment. Independent consumer delivery, actor/owner
+isolation, receipt, privacy and no-leak proofs remain mandatory. No new native
+pass or latency improvement is claimed; the original three native/two human inputs
+and 660000ms cell remain unchanged. Timeline and Personal are two of the four oracle version
+leaves changed in this prospective batch.
+
+Skill authoring v6 observes the four required checklist points within their
+actual heading-and-list sections rather than requiring every term in one text
+block. The launch 3376 native authored and saved the skill, but its original
+FAILED observer stopped before UI reload/readback qualification. This repair
+provides no native pass credit: actual file, author, version, editable Studio,
+reload and matching readback proofs remain required. Unrelated sections, missing
+requirements and waivers remain rejected. This is the third prospective oracle
+version leaf; skill review/update is the fourth calibration below.
+
+Any next throughput-routing measurement first uses a small representative
+announcement case before expanding to the uniform ten. That experiment remains
+unrun and requires a separate release decision; neither local projection nor
+these assertion calibrations demonstrate a performance benefit.
+
+
+Skill review/update v3 preserves a complete persisted preview on its original
+path. Only an incomplete persisted preview may fall back to the current rendered
+final response, anchored after the actual human review request and corroborated
+by the same committed successful native run. Hidden, stale, foreign, reasoning,
+tool-output and API-only summaries remain excluded. Hydration waits consume the
+original observation deadline without renewing it. The later human apply request,
+actual upstream version change and unchanged local fork remain mandatory. Launch
+3376's original FAILED review/update result stays unchanged; its later apply
+phase was never reached, so this calibration supplies no completed native pass.
+Together the four prospective oracle leaves are Timeline v13, Personal v17,
+Skill authoring v6 and Integrator v3; every other descriptor field and sourceFiles
+array remains unchanged. The routing experiment remains unrun and its performance
+benefit is unproved. No main pass credit or release acceptance is claimed.

+The explicit `chat-features` matrix now selects `runner-opencode` with native
+`paperclip_runner`, provider `opencode`, and exact model
+`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`. Its credential is an encrypted
+`OPENROUTER_API_KEY` reference. OpenCode remains pinned to the runner-owned
+1.18.34 executable; this candidate does not change the previously qualified
+OpenCode model for other suites. `local` means the selected execution host,
+including an isolated AWS worker, rather than a requirement to use a developer laptop.
+
+This is a new 244-cell behavioral campaign. Historical Codex results and passes
+remain separate and do not qualify the new provider/model. Named-provider feature
+requests retain their original meaning. Unavailable-model history requires an
+actually admitted failed OpenCode run with the exact configured provider/model;
+a preflight rejection does not establish that prerequisite. Provider/account
+qualification, paid-job approval, and owned AWS Spot capacity must be established
+before remote admission. Discovery and credential-free controls establish none
+of those live outcomes.
+
+
+### Explicit chat provider setup health
+
+`chat-setup-health.runner-opencode.local.setup-only` is a diagnostic cell, outside
+all 244 chat catalog scenarios and excluded from `--all`. It reuses the exact
+chat OpenCode/OpenRouter/DeepSeek profile, ordinary trusted fixture setup, owned
+Docker PostgreSQL and normal teardown. One agent's ordinary automatic hello is
+expected; it makes no explicit environment-test call and sends no chat/task
+request. No heartbeat runs, issues, conversations or comments may exist.
+
+Select this cell explicitly with retries zero through the existing Product E2E
+workflow. A failed readiness check fails health and retains only closed check
+codes/categories. Public pause fences automatic setup retries; failed pause
+requests the existing owned supervisor's shutdown before further API observations.
+Multiple probe receipts fail health. Setup-probe usage/cost is unavailable, never
+zero. This diagnostic cannot qualify a catalog scenario or rewrite prior results.
+
+The manual `chat-features` suite uses the production default of no native active-turn
+cap (`timeoutSec: 0`). Zero describes only that per-turn cap; it does not mean zero
+cost or an unlimited cell. Existing finite scenario, Playwright, launcher watchdog,
+public cancellation and owned-process cleanup bounds remain in force. Setup evidence
+records the effective saved policy separately from authored legacy turn declarations.
+Earlier results with the 120-second cap remain unchanged historical measurements.

 normalizer and TestOps exporter consume the derived files. Registered raw JSON
 remains subject to deep JSON and decoded-body privacy checks regardless of its
 text suffix. No existing physical byte, entry, ZIP, time, or archive bound changes.
+
+### Work timeline narrative calibration
+
+`activity.work-timeline` keeps its original human query, three native runs and
+720000 ms attempt bound. Its v2 oracle accepts command exit-code wording and
+incidental summary mentions without using the first worker-name match as proof
+of a handoff. It requires an ordered failed command and pause, a recorded human
+reassignment to the different repair worker, and that worker's verified repair.
+Command, filename, digest, task/run, audit, link, privacy and read-only checks
+remain independent. The deterministic owner/verifier and production timeline
+route regressions do not qualify the actual model journey. Historical failures
+retain their original grades; a missing human handoff narrative still fails.
+
+The timeline API projects initial assignment and delegation only from complete
+`issue.created` audit facts or explicitly fresh `issue.child_created` receipts
+inside the requested window. Child receipts require `createdByRequest: true`;
+false, absent or malformed flags do not establish initial ownership. The first
+bounded receipt is selected before validation, and the issue creation time must
+also be in the requested window. This is not an all-history completeness proof.
+It uses the saved actor,
+target and timestamp, and requires a readable recorded parent for delegation.
+It does not use current ownership as creation evidence. Missing or malformed
+legacy creation details leave initial ownership unknown. The API performs no
+all-history ownership-presence query. Recorded canonical and legacy ownership
+clears emit `unassigned` events with their actual actor and timestamp, without a
+target edge. Event markers are not currently rendered by the timeline chart.
+
+User identities in the timeline require active membership in the requested
+company. This gate covers receipt validation, identity lookup, and public actor,
+event and edge output, including raw IDs. Canonical audit rows remain unchanged.
+The public child and accepted-plan schemas strip idempotency and conversation
+keys; private service replay controls do not imply HTTP replay support. The
+accepted-plan fresh-child list excludes keyed/title reuse reported by its
+existing callback for supported task inputs. This is not a universal internal
+conversation-creation provenance guarantee.

 The personal inbox journey requires a separately authenticated, registered QA human author. Its target provider exposes one controlled comment operation on the exact campaign-owned task. The public oracle independently reads the saved comment and verifies its distinct human author, exact content, company, task, and absence of an agent run. The private provider closes the isolated author context during evidence-first cleanup. No provider or native run is allowed for this browser-only journey; agent cross-task execution guards remain intact.
 The `routine-scheduled-run` journey uses one campaign-owned routine, project, and scheduled task. It enables a minute schedule only for the bounded observation. Cleanup must pause the routine, disable its triggers, and reconcile scheduler-created tasks before stopping agent work. Private recovery repeats these checks after a lost response. Retain task and routine history; never leave a recurring trigger enabled after an attempt.
+
+## Authenticated prerequisite people
+
+Twenty explicitly selected OpenCode/local chat journeys use ordinary public
+signup and instance-admin company-access management to prepare a fresh second
+person. The setup verifies the administrator's real session, assigns only the
+requested company and its existing operator/viewer role grants, and independently
+reads the saved membership and grant attribution. The person's own session must
+prove company access and denial of instance administration. Setup consumes the
+original observation clock and neither dispatches native work nor performs the
+human action under evaluation. Private-resource and other-person boundaries
+remain part of each journey's independent oracle.
+
+Actual invitation journeys retain the invitation/acceptance path and its logger
+qualification prerequisite. This alternative does not qualify that path, create
+an instance administrator, bypass route authorization, or change retained failed
+outcomes. Passwords and cookies remain in the existing private session registry;
+the setup receipt contains only public identity, role, grant keys and statuses.
+
+A screenshot route marker is provisional. Any original secret finding, persisted
+state secret finding, privacy-driven reporter redaction/omission, or packaged
+evidence secret finding withholds all screenshots for that attempt. The launcher
+retains a closed withholding reason and removes public markers while preserving
+original private PNG bytes and hashes. Later cleanup labels and empty sanitized
+export scans cannot clear this decision; the publisher and gallery enforce it.
+
+
+### SDK canary compiled fingerprint admission
+
+The source-local `plugins.use-plugin-tool` canary verifies the existing startup
+build and private retention before any live fixture can create an agent or run
+its hello. The gate binds the authenticated 500 Git inputs and restored lock,
+compiler/helper identities, both target certificates and complete 1611-file
+compiled manifests. It preserves every privacy scan and raw observation.
+
+The normal case fingerprint is deferred until those genuine compiled bytes are
+available in that same real scenario startup. A complete non-null fingerprint
+and source closure must be retained privately before fixtures. The later normal
+definition must match it. Missing or changed proof fails before fixture/model
+work. A failed framework start still consumes that attempt; this gate adds no
+retry, diagnostic operation, allowance or grading exception. The other five SDK
+cases remain subject to their separate admission holds. Local declaration-only
+metadata carries null compiled digests and makes no runtime qualification claim.
+
+Preview-tool fixture discovery uses the installed manifest key for the board
+registry filter and verifies the returned database UUID and exact namespaced
+`preview` name. Enabled setup must expose exactly one tool. Disable verification
+requires the same selected record to be disabled and its actual key-filtered
+inventory to be empty; an enabled positive precedes that removal check. Agent
+discovery remains under its existing UUID-filtered authorized catalog. This
+identity correction does not release or rerun the exhausted SDK canary, change
+SDK/compiler/scanner behavior, or authorize the other five cases.
+
+The isolated `onboarding.new-company` native1017 candidate keeps its original
+source-company chat and ordinary human company creation. Only its credential
+setup runs in the existing standalone private child. It uses the real saved
+company's public `agents/new` route, same first-agent setup ID, personal
+OpenRouter account grant, exact local environment, native hello and public hire.
+No draft/localStorage write, legacy CLI fallback or source-company account
+substitution is allowed. Partial created connection IDs are retained privately
+for public cleanup before the new company is removed. Native probe usage stays
+unknown outside heartbeat accounting, never zero. This candidate includes only
+the focused local native-probe prerequisite from core PR18103; all candidate
+outcomes are separate from frozen39e qualification. Source acceptance is not
+permission to run the unused initial.
