verified against the GitHub repository state on 2026-08-09.
This receipt records a state verification of the repository's pull requests.
It is process evidence, not a live-site measurement; the site-side
verification of the heading fix itself is the separate receipt
`docs/evidence/heading-hierarchy-2026-08-09.md` (merged via PR #40).

## What the item claimed

- Two open PRs carried the same heading-hierarchy fix.
- PR #22 was conflict-locked and superseded.

P2 Badge Label PR #40 as closeout evidence, not a fix carrier

The claimed exhaustive set is inaccurately defined: PR #40 only added docs/evidence/heading-hierarchy-2026-08-09.md, while the code fix and regression test had already landed in PR #28. Including #40 under “Every pull request that carries or carried the heading-hierarchy fix” makes this process receipt misclassify an evidence-only PR; describe the table as all related fix and closeout PRs, or move #40 to a separate closeout-evidence entry.

| PR | head branch | title | state |
|---|---|---|---|
| #22 | `fix/heading-hierarchy` | fix(public): repair heading hierarchy without visual changes | CLOSED, never merged; `mergeStateStatus: DIRTY` (`mergeable: CONFLICTING`) at close |
| #27 | `fix/heading-hierarchy-cleanup` | fix(public): remove heading-level skips on home and sibling pages | CLOSED, never merged |
| #28 | `fix/heading-hierarchy-complete` | fix(public): heading hierarchy cleanup on home and all six served pages | MERGED into main 2026-08-09T05:10Z |

Timeline of the duplicate PRs: #22 was created 2026-08-08T19:33Z and closed
2026-08-09T07:47Z; #27 was created 2026-08-08T23:51Z and closed
2026-08-09T07:47Z. The superseding fix (PR #28) merged at 05:10Z, before
either duplicate was closed.

Current open PRs (five: #43, #45, #47, #49, #50) were diff-reviewed for this
receipt: none adds, removes or retags any `h1`–`h6` element, so no open PR
currently carries the heading-hierarchy fix.

Two findings against the item:

1. The item's premise no longer holds: there are no two open PRs carrying
the same heading-hierarchy fix. The two duplicates are closed and the
canonical fix is merged.
2. The item's description of PR #22 was accurate: it was conflict-locked
(`DIRTY`/`CONFLICTING`, never mergeable) and it was superseded — its own

P2 Badge Limit the mergeability claim to the observed snapshot

When this receipt is used as historical evidence, never mergeable claims more than the recorded verification establishes: the table only reports DIRTY/CONFLICTING at close, which does not prove that PR #22 was unmergeable throughout its lifetime. Preserve the at-close qualification here or provide evidence covering the PR's full history.

fix shape landed via PR #28, which carries the same retagging and the
regression test that PR #22 lacked.

## What closes the item

- The conflict-locked duplicate (PR #22) and its sibling duplicate (PR #27)
are closed.
- The superseding fix (PR #28) is merged on main: sub-headings retagged one
level shallower, CSS selectors retargeted with identical values, and a
deterministic regression test (`scripts/test-heading-hierarchy.mjs`, wired
into `npm test` as `test:headings`) that locks the corrected outline of
each of the six served pages and rejects the pre-fix shapes.
- The fix is verified against the live deployment in
`docs/evidence/heading-hierarchy-2026-08-09.md` (merged via PR #40): all
six served pages descend without skipped levels, exactly one leading `h1`.
- Current main was verified in this lane on 2026-08-09: `npm run check`
passes, and `npm test` passes in full, including `test:headings` 6/6
(each owned public page has a correct heading outline; each matches its
locked corrected outline; the checker rejects the pre-fix shapes).
- Observation, no action taken: the remote branches of the closed duplicate
PRs (`fix/heading-hierarchy`, `fix/heading-hierarchy-cleanup`) still exist
on origin. This repository routinely retains branches of closed PRs
(several older closed-PR branches remain on origin), and deleting them is
outside this lane's scope; they have no open PR and cannot be merged.

P2 Badge Describe the retained branches as inactive, not unmergeable

Because these branches explicitly still exist on origin, their commits can still be merged directly or through a reopened/new pull request; closing the existing PRs only means there is currently no open merge request. The statement that they “cannot be merged” therefore overstates the closeout and should be replaced with the narrower, already-supported claim that neither branch has an open PR.

P2 Badge Reconcile the already-merged superseding closeout

Landing this closeout leaves contradictory evidence in the repository: the commit's parent already contains docs/evidence/duplicate-heading-prs-2026-08-11.md, which explicitly says this 2026-08-09 receipt was never merged, that its five-PR snapshot is stale, and that the newer receipt supersedes it. This commit now tracks that stale receipt and again declares the item closed without updating the newer document, making its provenance and current-state assertions false; remove this receipt or reconcile both documents to identify one authoritative closeout.

heading-hierarchy fix. No code change is needed or proposed: the repository
already carries exactly one heading-hierarchy fix on main, gated by a
passing regression test and verified on the live deployment.
