Batch F is the last batch of feature 008. It owns no findings of its own: it sends the service calls
every merged batch recorded as intended, confirms the rows the services have stopped reporting, makes
the two configuration changes the earlier checkpoints approved, and closes the record.

What the record now says

• Every one of the 745 inventory rows has a disposition, and 744 are confirmed. The remaining one
  is the Stylelint SCSS pattern, which leaves Codacy's issue set only after the next analysis runs with
  the pattern disabled.
• 10 SonarCloud transitions with their comments and 27 Codacy ignores with their reason and
  comment are now posted, every one of them confirmed by its own HTTP receipt. No row carries a
  search timestamp: the four that once did are described under "The Codacy receipt" below.
• SonarCloud's own violations history on main is the shortest statement of the feature: 310 at
  the baseline 5e03d67f, 10 at e27bb029 (batch D, the feature's last merge before this one),
  258 at af871c9a (PR feat(009): memory core increments A-E5 with the US5 migration security closure #190), 258 at 33f8c382 (PR perf: enable the compile cache before the engine is compiled #211). The 248 open today are that arithmetic
  minus the 10 rows this batch has now sent.

Five rows were re-dispositioned, not confirmed

The first --apply-sonar run stamped five rows "absent from the current issue search". Queried without
the resolved=false filter, all five come back status: CLOSED, resolution: FIXED, closed at the
analysis of e27bb029 — batch D's own refactor closed them before this batch could post their reasons.
Absence from an open-issue search conflates three service states and only two of them are benign, so
the rows are now fixed with that analysis as their confirmation (their read verdicts kept), and
--apply-sonar reads each pending row's real status/resolution and refuses a row the service closed
as FIXED instead of confirming it. The same read restores the resume path data-model.md describes: a
row whose transition succeeded and whose comment failed is RESOLVED at the service, which is exactly
what resolved=false hides.

Scope amendment to SC-001 and SC-002

SC-001 and SC-002 asked for 0 open issues on main after the final merge. main received two
unrelated features while the batches ran — PR #190 (feature 009 memory core) and PR #211 — and their
findings outnumber the frozen inventory: 460 live findings sit outside it. Keeping "0 on both services"
as this feature's exit condition would fold an unbounded second campaign into it and make the exit
depend on code the feature never touched. Both criteria now read as the inventory this feature froze,
with the original wording and the reason kept in place; every live finding outside it is measured,
attributed, and handed to the follow-up round (issue #207, which now carries the full measurement).

Every one of the 248 live SonarCloud findings, and all 38 uncovered non-ESLint Codacy findings, are
in files that changed between e27bb029 and 33f8c382. None is in a file this feature last touched.

Research R11 records what the batches closed and #190 regrew, measured at both revisions with
pipx run lizard: batches.ts 411 → 551, pack.ts 470 → 558, observer/apply.ts 282 → 533,
observe-batch.ts 405 → 588, replay-evaluate.ts 489 → 604, replay-report.ts 490 → 514, assemble
37 → 68 NLOC, applyPreparedObservations 29 → 83 NLOC and CCN 4 → 36, applyFallback 7 → 8
parameters, captureUnparsed 48 → 51 NLOC and buildObserverRequest 25 → 54 NLOC with CCN 7 → 24.

The last two are inventory IDs whose rows are confirmed fixed — honest when they were confirmed, and
over the bound again only at 33f8c382. They were found by --check-live's new contradicted group,
which compares dispositions instead of inventory membership: it reports every live finding a
confirmed fixed or excluded row claims, by its own ID or by its (service, rule, file) triple,
covered or not. An unconfirmed row is a planned disposition whose ID closes at the next analysis, so it
is not a contradiction. The group stands at 20 SonarCloud and 12 Codacy findings today and it fails the
check, so this shape cannot pass unnoticed again.

--check-live is a manual diagnostic, not a CI gate: with 460 findings outside the frozen
inventory it would fail every build until the follow-up round closes them. The round that owns those
findings (#207) is the one that runs it. git blame on the reported line names a batch commit for several of these, because the
function's opening line or the file's line 1 is older than the body that grew; the measurement is the
axis that decides ownership.

Codacy configuration (T009 and T043a), including an incident

Both changes were refused at the repository level with 409 Cannot disable a … that is enabled by a Coding Standard. The organisation's "Default coding standard" enables the ESLint tool and the Stylelint
pattern, and three other repositories follow that standard, so editing it was out of the question
(research R3).

What went wrong first: POST /coding-standards?sourceCodingStandard=<id> creates a draft revision
of that standard, and promoting it replaces the standard for every repository that follows it. That
briefly changed all four repositories in the organisation. It was restored immediately from a snapshot
taken beforehand, as standard 168666, with every tool flag and every enabled-pattern set verified
equal to the original; the only residual difference is Oxlint followsStandard false → true, and Oxlint
is disabled either way.

Where it landed: this repository now follows its own standard 168669 ("oboete quality-debt
(ESLint 8 off)"), whose 63 tool flags and per-tool pattern sets were verified equal to 168666 except for
the two intended differences — the ESLint tool disabled, and Stylelint_scss_function-disallowed-list
disabled. A standard seeded with ?sourceRepository= does not reproduce a repository's effective
pattern sets (29 tools and 1684 patterns drifted, Opengrep alone from 1425 enabled patterns to 648),
so every set was repaired and re-diffed to zero before the promote, which reported
successful: ["oboete"] only. The repository-level ESLint override was then cleared, so GET …/tools
reports ESLint isEnabled: false, isCustom: false, followsStandard: true.

A consequence worth knowing: this repository no longer receives later edits to the organisation
default. Relinking is one PATCH if that is not wanted.

Still to verify after this merges: T043a's criterion is the ESLint step being absent from
GET …/commits/{sha}/logs. At 33f8c382 that step still reads error, and the live Codacy set holds
174 ESLint 8 rows — the partial output of the crashed tool, which is also why the frozen inventory
contains no ESLint finding at all. Disabling the tool should drop all 174 at the next analysis.

Deliberately not done here

• The 460 live findings outside the inventory are not dispositioned in this feature. They are measured
  and attributed on issue US6 sync: disposition for the 248 new Sonar issues on PR #190 (80 HIGH, all maintainability) #207, together with the ESLint 8 → ESLint 9 option and its endpoints.
• The six regrown file-length findings are not re-split. Batch D split two of them and feat(009): memory core increments A-E5 with the US5 migration security closure #190 regrew both
  within a week; a file-length campaign belongs to the follow-up round, where it can cover all of
  feat(009): memory core increments A-E5 with the US5 migration security closure #190's findings coherently instead of one file at a time.

The Codacy receipt is the PATCH response, never the search's silence

--apply-codacy read the whole current issue set before its first write and, for a row whose id the
search did not return, skipped the PATCH and stamped Absent from current Codacy issue search <ts>
into confirmed. Four rows took that path, and a review round called the resulting claim false on the
grounds that the ids were gone from the service.

The premise turned out to be inverted. All four were PATCHed by hand and all four returned HTTP
204, so the ids existed the whole time. Codacy's issue search reports only the issues of the
current analysed commit, so an id whose code an earlier batch rewrote drops out of the search while
its issue record stays addressable — 3fe04e20 and f5834f76 are exactly that shape, since #162
rewrote their argument into String.raw and the service re-issued the finding under a new id that the
batch then ignored.

Absence therefore proves removal from the current commit, never an ignore, and the receipt is always
obtainable. The pre-read informed nothing and is gone; every pending row is PATCHed and confirmed
always holds its response. data-model.md no longer permits the local-confirmation shape, and no
absence-confirmation remains in the ledger.

Because the pre-read also carried the only path that let a run continue past an id the service will
not accept, applyCodacy now mirrors applySonar's contract: a 404 refuses that row and the run
continues, an auth or server error still aborts, and one error at the end names the refused count and
ids.

How this batch was reviewed

The apply path was reworked twice. /code-review on the first Codex commit returned fourteen
findings, of which the top three shared one root cause — the absent-id premise above — and one was
already realised in committed data. A second /code-review on the fix returned fourteen more,
including the two that matter most here: the RESOLVED short-circuit did not check that the service's
resolution was the one the row disposes, and the transition was still being skipped on the ledger's
own marker rather than on the live status. Every finding of both rounds was taken. ponytail-review
then cut the decision that had ended up living in two places, and two of its five findings were
declined with the reason in the commit message. Three Codex jobs did the implementation; the checks
were re-run in the shared checkout because the worktree had no node_modules and its first pass had
only looked green.

Three further rounds ran after the pull request was green. /code-review returned twelve findings and
then thirteen more; the Codex review bot opened seven threads of its own. Of those thirty-two, twenty-six
were taken and six declined with the reason recorded on the thread or in the commit message. The
declines are worth naming because two were re-raised: the two regrown fixed rows keep their
confirmations, since e27bb029 is a real Codacy analysis (endedAnalysis set, fixedIssues: 5) and
src/worker/batches.ts measured 411 NLOC in that tree against a 500 bound, so the finding cannot have
been reported there; and no issueStatus fallback is written while the live API still returns the
deprecated status and resolution fields.

A seventh round was needed because the three rounds before it each found another stale completion
statement, and each had swept with a pattern grep. This round read all 1,247 lines of the six
specs/008-quality-debt-zero/ documents section by section and recorded a verdict for every
completion, success, end-state and final-count statement it met. The committed tables hold 129 rows:
80 already compliant, 16 historical quotations inside dated parentheticals, 19 amended, 3 clarified,
1 restored, 1 added, and 9 recorded without a one-word verdict. The inspected list is committed as
docs/evidence/quality-debt-2026-09/batch-f-round-7-completion-audit.md.

What the greps could not see was a second class of defect. The inventory aggregate itself was stated
three different ways — data-model.md gave "310 + 410 rows", the acceptance scenarios and FR-001
froze 310 + 397, and plan.md's summary still commanded service-wide zero ahead of its own
amendment. Those were false rather than merely stale: sonar-main-issues.json holds 332,
codacy-main-issues.json holds 413, ledger.json holds 745, and allocation.json sums to 745
across A 302, E 46, B1 131, B2 59, B3 42, C1 27, C2 39, C3 17, C4 62, D 20. 707 baseline IDs plus 38
additions is 745. Every active statement of scope across the
six documents now names that one frozen inventory, and statements that quote the original request
keep their wording inside a dated parenthetical, because the original 0 / 0 goal is a fact about what
was asked rather than a claim about the end state.

An eighth round followed, because reviewing only the seventh round's own delta — rather than the
whole pull request again — surfaced eleven semantic defects that the three full-PR passes had not,
two of them blocking, and both from one root. The completion criterion had been written out in five
places (FR-002, SC-001, SC-002, research R3, the round 7 audit) while the exception two rows depend
on lived in a sixth that none of them referenced. As written, FR-002 required every one of the 745
rows to be "closed on main or confirmed against a named analysis", which two rows cannot satisfy:
6d0b78f8… and 7d9b63ea… are live at 33f8c382 and their confirmation is a measurement, not an
analysis id. FR-002 is now the only full statement of the criterion and defines "confirmed" by
pointing at the data model's field — an absence observed at a named analysis, a service action
receipt (Codacy PATCH, Sonar resolution and comment), or, for regrowth handed to #207 whose absence
was never observed, the R11 before/after measurement. The other four reference it, so the next change
to the criterion is a one-place edit.

The same round corrected three false sentences in the paragraph that explains Codacy's silence, all
three introduced while trying to remove an ambiguity. The paragraph claimed fixed and excluded
unconditionally mean the named analysis did not report the finding, when that holds only where the
absence was observed; it claimed verifyCodacyCommit runs "before any row is stamped", which is
false for the two rows stamped by hand, since isConfirmed is a non-blank string test and
confirmLedger filters already-confirmed rows out before verification; and it implied that any row
whose finding regrows carries the R11 measurement, which would have a reader reject two
correctly-stamped rows. The four confirmed fixed Codacy rows in contradicted split two ways and
the paragraph now names both pairs: 188840d7… (#165) and 77635429… (#166) keep their
observed-absence receipt at 67242108, because later regrowth does not erase what that analysis
observed, while 6d0b78f8… and 7d9b63ea… (both #185) use the permitted measurement because the
current-commit search already reported them regrown.

Eight of the remaining nine were one-clause corrections: the checkLive comment now carries the qualifier
that a triple claims the rule no longer fires only when every inventory row in it is confirmed, which
is what liveClaims' AND-fold does and what quickstart.md already said; the history requirement
states plainly that --check enforces neither a missing nor a malformed entry and names #223; the
file, line rule names an export commit
for all 745 rows instead of 720; the record's three Codacy counts at checkpoint C4 are labelled for
what each measures; plan.md's inventory path has its # new: marker back; the scope amendment's
dated note moved after the active requirement it had been inserted into the middle of; the audit's
claim to be a "full inspection list" is narrowed to the statements it tabulates; and the verification
report's walkthrough summary says 25 WEAK, matching the 25 distinct WEAK IDs in the table the
scorecard is derived from.

A ninth round followed, and the finding that mattered was that round 8's own fix was false. Round 8
had re-attributed the 2026-09-09 inventory addition from T036 to T030a, "as the record has always
said" — and the record said it wrongly. git log --follow on the two inventory JSON files settles
it: c0ed2500 froze 310 Sonar and 397 Codacy rows from 5e03d67f; d8760a55 appended the 13
Codacy rows the T030a note records; 7c1622b6 appended one more and allocated it to batch D, which
is why D became 18 ids; c8fb5d7c appended PR #185's eleven Sonar and two Codacy findings; and
c9a9e585 appended the eleven push-branch Sonar ids. No task owns 7c1622b6's row, so every
document that named a task was wrong in kind, not only in the number. data-model.md now carries an
Inventory provenance table holding that history and is the only place that states the per-commit
split; the five other statements point at it. Two rounds in a row produced a false fact in this
layer for the same reason — the fact was taken from prose in a neighbouring document rather than
from the artefact — which is why the table cites commits and says so explicitly.

The same round found FR-002's restructure had opened a hole. Listing the three receipt kinds inside
FR-002 made them read as free alternatives for any row, while the definition it cited binds each one
to a state, so a resolved Codacy row "confirmed" by an absence nobody observed satisfied the
requirement as written. FR-002 now delegates to that definition for the row's own state and carries
the #207 attribution obligation that the documents pointing at it had lost. Two round-8 edits to the
round 7 audit are reverted, because that file is a snapshot of 9e6ce79b: the line declaring FR-002
authoritative contradicted the summary below it, and a verdict cell had been rewritten to narrate a
later round. Also measured rather than restated: the audit tabulates 129 statements, not 119, and
the record's four checkpoint quantities moved out of a 1,900-character prose line into a labelled
table whose Sonar column states all 32 resolved rows rather than only the 10 calls batch F made.
Two defects in the round-9 instructions themselves were caught by the implementer's report and fixed
before the commit: a claim that the provenance table was the only statement of the 745 aggregate,
which four other documents legitimately quote, and a claim that --check exits non-zero on every
counter it prints, which --check --planned disproves by exiting 0 with one unconfirmed row.

One finding was declined for this pull request and filed instead. isConfirmed is
Boolean(row?.confirmed?.trim?.()), so the CLI cannot tell a service receipt from a hand-recorded
R11 measurement, and confirmLedger filters confirmed rows out before verification would see them.
Both rows that use a measurement are described truthfully today, and a discriminated shape for
measured closures changes the ledger schema, the CLI and the tests, so it is issue #224 rather than
this batch's work. Issue #223 gained the history field in the same way: its recording requirement
has no automated reader either, and one scheduled run can carry both checks.

A tenth round closed the seams around round 9's work. Reviewing only that commit returned thirteen
findings and none of them touched the provenance table's facts, which the reviewer re-derived from
git show on both inventory files and confirmed exhaustive — the first round in four whose
load-bearing change survived review intact. What it did find was the delegation's cost. FR-002 had
carried the R11 measurement's precondition inline ("whose absence was never observed"); the
confirmed field it now delegates to permitted a measurement for any regrowth covered by the scope
amendment and only forbade claiming an absence that was never observed, so a row whose absence an
analysis did observe could substitute a hand-written measurement for the analysis id it could have
cited, and since the field accepts any non-blank string nothing would detect it. The field now
carries the precondition, and the four rows it governs split as the same file already describes
them.

Three statements were measured false rather than merely loose. --check --planned suppresses the
open class as well as tolerating unconfirmed (quality-debt-record.mjs:142), and an allocation
problem forces exit 1 while every printed counter reads zero (:167), so the sentence claiming
eight classes were the whole gate understated it twice; quickstart.md quoted a five-field
--check summary the CLI never prints; and "129 statements tabulated" counted table rows, 71 of
which name line ranges, overstating in kind where the earlier "119" was merely wrong in value. The
provenance table gained a Read at column, because two field descriptions delegate "the commit the
row was exported from" to a table whose Commit column holds the appending commit.

Two of round 9's own edits to the frozen round-7 audit are undone. Genericising a verdict cell to
"the additions made after the 2026-09-07 export" was itself a new claim inside a snapshot, and it
erased the audit's only record that round 7 attributed the additions to T030a, T036 and T043e — one
of which appended nothing, which is the recurring defect the audit exists to trace. The cell is the
round-7 text byte for byte again. The pattern across rounds 8, 9 and 10 is one thing: every edit to
a snapshot is a new claim that later commits can falsify, and the cheapest defence is to date the
document and leave it alone.

An eleventh round found the one defect no earlier round had looked for, because every round until now
reviewed prose against artefacts and never the checkboxes against their own notes. 4b520ce2 flipped
T009, T032, T039, T043a and T043b to [X] with no rationale in its message, and two of the five notes say
the opposite in plain words: T032's records two unmet conditions and adds that SC-009 is an M1
criterion of specs/007, "not something this feature may waive"; T039's reads "No gate has been waived"
with the twelve-pair and recall conditions unmet. Those two boxes are open again and the notes are
untouched, because they were already right. Seven other documents — plan.md, the round-7 audit and
five batch-D evidence files — already said so, so the checkboxes were the only dissent. Issue #225
names each box's external blocker and its closing condition: a provider-backed replay for T032, and
a Grok account that can complete a model response for T039. The verification report keeps its run
intact and gains a dated line — it executed over the 56 tasks checked at the time, 54 of which remain
checked, and no task was found unimplemented — because re-deriving a frozen run's scorecard inside
the run is the snapshot mistake rounds 8 to 10 already paid for.

The same round also unchecked T009, and a twelfth round put it back. The criterion it swept with —
the task's own note records a condition it does not meet — has no reading that takes T009 and leaves
T012, whose note reads "301 of the 302 A rows confirmed, the Stylelint row waits for the token
(T009)": the same receipt, one task removed, ticked in 004bbf42 under a message that names the
tasks A, E and the B implementations finished, and never disturbed since. Both record work whose
receipt is an analysis T045 runs, T043b amended its own criterion for exactly that row because
requiring its confirmation before this merge would be circular, and the verification report grades
the row "unconfirmed by design". T043a's note has the same shape — "T045's criterion and is not
claimed here" — but it is not evidence either way, because 4b520ce2 ticked it in the same
rationale-less sweep: five boxes, not the four an earlier draft of this paragraph counted, which is
the round-12 finding that its own first draft produced. What separates the two kinds is whether the
task's own work product is unmet or whether only its receipt belongs to a later task, and the phrase
grep that stood in for that distinction is what produced a wrong box.

Reverting it settled the bot thread that had asked for the box, and that thread was half right about
something the uncheck had papered over: T009's clause said to record both HTTP responses "in the
ledger", and the ledger has no field for an HTTP response on an excluded row, whose confirmed
holds the analysis that drops the id. Both responses are recorded — in the record's "Configuration
changes on Codacy" paragraph, which names T009 and T043a together: the 409 Cannot disable a … that is enabled by a Coding Standard refusal, and the GET …/tools verification that leaves the
repository at 18 Stylelint patterns where the organisation default has 19. T043a's own clause already
said "append a tool-health row to the record" for the same receipts, so T009's wording was the
outlier; it now names that paragraph and keeps its original text in a dated parenthetical, as T043b's
amended criterion does.

The twelfth round's other findings were round 11's own new sentences. The R11 measurement clause, as
rewritten, permitted a row to keep a measurement for an absence nobody observed — which the same file
forbids two paragraphs later ("silence must be observed at that analysis, not assumed") — and had
swapped the document property "names an analysis" for the service property the rest of the section
states; it is restored to the form round 10 left it in. The allocation-failure sentence promised
"each offending id on stderr", which the missing-file case does not print. And the paragraph under the
provenance table, false for the fourth time in four attempts, is deleted rather than corrected a
fifth: every document that needs the per-commit split already reaches the table by pointer, so
nothing replaces it. Three findings were declined. plan.md's eleven Sonar IDs describe c8fb5d7c,
PR #185's own analysis, and not the eleven that the separately gated push-branch analysis of the same
revision added under distinct ids — the two are separate rows of the provenance table. The record's
Sonar receipt cell cannot name a pull request, because those 22 rows are 11 from each of those two
analyses. And a "✅ VERIFIED" verdict states that the task's artefacts exist, which an unchecked box
does not contradict.

A thirteenth round reviewed that delta and returned seven findings, four of them corrections to round 12's
own new sentences. The dated amendment said T032 and T039 fail conditions their notes record, while two rows
of the same report grade T039 VERIFIED on the resource check and the dogfood evidence. Both are true
of different questions, and the report had never said which question a verdict answers — its own
explanatory section defines only WEAK. It now states that a verdict records whether a task's named
artefacts were found and not whether its acceptance thresholds passed, which is the sentence that
makes the VERIFIED rows and the open box compatible, and which also retires the decline round 12
recorded for the same observation. T009's receipt clause pointed at the record's paragraph for both
HTTP responses, and that paragraph carries the 409 verbatim but only the substance of the pattern-set
verification — 18 patterns against the organisation default's 19 — without naming the endpoint; the
clause now names the task note as well, where GET …/tools/1f03328a…/patterns and its result are
recorded. "(T045 does the confirming run)" is dropped rather than qualified, because T045 runs
--confirm read-only and its own text sends any ledger change to a follow-up pull request, so the
parenthetical pointed a reader at the task that does not write the field. And issue #225's body said
the feature merges with two boxes unchecked where tasks.md has five: the two it owns are the blocked
ones, and T045, T046 and T047 are the merge's own remaining steps.

One of the seven is filed rather than fixed. spec.md's Assumptions say #190 regrew "six file-length
and four function-level findings" where R11's table lists six of each, and a third figure exists — the
record attributes two function-level NLOC regrowths to the contradicted group. Which set each
sentence counts cannot be settled without checking, for each of R11's six function subjects, whether a
ledger row closed it before e27bb029; two of them were under their bound at that revision, and one
is governed by a complexity rule rather than either bound R11 names. That is issue #226, because this
delta touched neither statement and a guessed number is how four earlier rounds each produced a false
one. Two findings were declined: the confirmed row's Values column does list "HTTP response" among
its sources, which is exactly what the new parenthetical's "excluded row" qualifier is about and
what the reviewer confirmed by reading all 302 excluded rows; and the report's header list of
unchecked tasks describes the run as executed, which the amendment two lines below it already
reconciles, so editing it is the snapshot mistake rounds 8 to 10 paid for.

Four statements were measured false in the same round. --check --planned hides no counter: it stops
an unconfirmed closed disposition from also counting as open and exempts a non-zero unconfirmed
from the exit decision, which is why --check exits 1 with 1 open, 1 unconfirmed and --planned
exits 0 with 0 open, 1 unconfirmed — the third round in a row to state this gate's behaviour from
partial observation, and the first to write it against both captured outputs. An allocation problem
names each offending id on stderr rather than only forcing exit 1. The R11 measurement clause is
scoped to fixed and excluded rows, so it no longer licenses for a Codacy resolved row what the
same cell's PATCH rule forbids, and it ties observation to naming an analysis, which is how the file
already defines it two sections down. The per-commit split's uniqueness claim is narrowed to the
documents it governs, since the same commit that wrote it added an addition-order statement to the
record — the third overbroad uniqueness claim this feature has produced, each caught by a reviewer
reading the documents the claim quietly covered. And SC-008 no longer presents batch F beside
batches that passed their gate while T045 is open.

Two findings of that round were declined, both asking for another edit to the frozen round-7 audit:
one to mark the restored verdict cell as quoting a retracted attribution, one to date the second
paragraph of its governing-meaning section. The document-level baseline notice added in round 9
already scopes every verdict in it to 9e6ce79b, and rounds 8, 9 and 10 each produced a defect by
editing that snapshot, which is the reason the round-10 paragraph above ends where it does.

Across all thirteen rounds the two-track gate produced 138 findings — 14 and 14 on the first two
apply-path reviews, 5 from ponytail-review, 32 across the three rounds after the pull request went
green (including the Codex bot's 7 threads, 3 of which round 7 answered), 12 from round 8's delta
review, 1 more thread after it, 14 from round 9's delta review, 13 from round 10's, 14 from round
11's (5 bot threads and 10 review findings, one finding raised by both), 12 from round 12's and 7
from round 13's — of which 120 were taken and 18 declined with the reason recorded on the thread, in
the commit message, or in the issue it was filed as. Every delta review after the pull request went green found a class the full-PR
passes had not, while the counts ran 12, 14, 13, 14, 12 and 7 across the six of them — so the case
for reviewing the delta rests on each round reaching a class the last one could not see, not on the
count falling. Round 11's class was the checkboxes themselves, which ten rounds of reading prose
against artefacts never compared against their own notes. Round 12's was the criterion round 11 swept
with: a rule stated in one round and applied to three boxes is a claim of its own, and reviewing the
boxes it moved never tests the boxes it left. Round 13's was the vocabulary: a report that explains
one of its three verdicts leaves the other two to the reader, and the reader it left was a later
round trying to reconcile them. The declines worth naming are the ones that were re-raised: the two regrown fixed rows keep their confirmations, because
e27bb029 is a real Codacy analysis with endedAnalysis set and fixedIssues: 5 and
src/worker/batches.ts measured 411 NLOC in that tree against a 500 bound, so the finding cannot
have been reported there; no issueStatus fallback is written while the live API still returns the
deprecated status and resolution fields; the contradicted group is not split into "regrowth"
and "new instance", because no stable cross-analysis finding identity exists to split it by — Sonar
re-keys issue IDs and Codacy's IDs are content hashes that move with the line, which is why the
comparison is a triple and not an ID; and the five history entries share their why prose because
each row's id column already identifies which finding it belongs to.

Eleven of the accepted findings were corrections to this branch's own verification artefacts rather
than to its code: the report's scorecard disagreed with its own authoritative table (28/1/27 against
the true 30/1/25), T039 was counted under two opposite verdicts, the per-pull-request ledger
receipts were overstated by three rows (#160 19 not 20, #162 51 not 53), the closing-count table
read 25 and 3 rather than 27 confirmed and 1 still open, the walkthrough summary kept the old WEAK
count, T044's completion note claimed a sweep that the round 7 audit showed was incomplete, the
audit itself overstated its own coverage, the report cited 119 audited statements where the tables
hold 129, T044's row claimed the sweep completed in a SHA two later commits amended past, and the
audit had gained a line declaring FR-002 authoritative that contradicted its own baseline summary
plus a verdict cell narrating a round that postdates it.

One accepted finding could not be closed inside this batch. The contradicted group is the only
check that catches a confirmed disposition going stale, and no automated reader runs it, because with
460 findings outside the frozen inventory a gate on uncovered would fail every build. The claim in
the record is softened to what is true and the scheduled reader is filed as #223, blocked on #207.

Task verification

speckit-verify-tasks ran over the 56 tasks checked at the time and its report is in this branch at
specs/008-quality-debt-zero/verify-tasks-report.md. No task was found unimplemented. Its one
real finding is that T037 named the two probe splits under scripts/e2e/probes/ while the batch D
continuation placed them in scripts/e2e/probe-lib/ with the other extracted helpers, so the task
line now names where they are. It had to run inside this branch because T044 forbids a repository
edit after the final SHA, which means it ran in the implementing session rather than a fresh one;
the report states that in its own header and quotes the artefact behind every verdict, including
the ledger receipts for the 27 tasks whose product is a service state rather than a file.

CI: two red timing assertions, measured rather than retried

The engine (24.x) and check jobs of run 34767148543 failed on c1d94818. Both are wall-clock hook bounds:

• a busy database spools inside the capture budget — the hook took 307.4 ms against the 300 ms capture budget
• the same handler captures Grok Build when its environment says so — the hook took 898.3 ms

This commit changes scripts/quality-debt-*.mjs and Markdown only — no src/, no dist/, no vendor bundle — so before re-running anything I compared the timing distributions of the two runs GitHub started for the same SHA:

Run	Result	n	median	p90	max	total wall
34767150791	all jobs success	3417	57.38 ms	273.98 ms	34.8 s	492 s
34767148543	two failures	3151	57.38 ms	482.03 ms	27.3 s	651 s

The medians agree to the hundredth of a millisecond and the tail is 1.76× fatter. A slower code path moves the median of the tests that use it; only contention leaves the median untouched and stretches the tail. The full suite also passes locally on Node 24.16.0 — 1463 pass, 0 fail — and test/helpers/compile-cache.ts already records that a 35 ms median shift "is most of the headroom under the 300 ms capture budget, and it turned two suites red".

The cause is that ci.yml declares pull_request and push with no filter and no concurrency group, so every push to a branch with an open PR starts two parallel runs of the same workflow that starve each other. That is filed as #221 with the fix (push: branches: [main]) and with the note that cancel-in-progress is not usable here, for the reason dco.yml already records in a comment: a cancelled run does not satisfy a required check.

It is not fixed in this pull request on purpose. FR-003 and SC-006 commit this feature to removing, relaxing or narrowing no gate, and the record enumerates every gate-adjacent file the feature touches; editing a workflow trigger here would make that evidence line say something it then has to qualify.

The failed jobs are re-running.

Task verification report (T046)

speckit-verify-tasks ran over the 56 tasks that were checked when it ran. Two of them —
T032 and T039 — have since been unchecked, because each task's own note records an acceptance
condition it does not meet; issue #225 names each blocker and its closing condition, so 54 remain
checked. The report is committed at
specs/008-quality-debt-zero/verify-tasks-report.md
(pinned to the merge commit, so the link keeps working now that the branch is deleted).

Scorecard: 30 ✅ VERIFIED, 1 🔍 PARTIAL, 25 ⚠️ WEAK, 0 ❌ NOT_FOUND, 0 ⏭️ SKIPPED — the 56 tasks
as checked at the time. No task was found unimplemented.

The single PARTIAL is a wrong path in a task's own prose, not missing work: T037 named the two probe
splits under scripts/e2e/probes/ while the batch D continuation placed them in
scripts/e2e/probe-lib/ with the other extracted helpers. The task line now names where they are.

The 25 WEAK verdicts are not gaps in the work. They are the tasks whose product is a service state or
a merged pull request rather than a file, so the five-layer mechanical cascade has nothing in the
working tree to match and returns n/a for every layer. The report reads the receipt for each one
directly — the ledger's confirmed field and the live service APIs — and quotes it, which is why the
report is committed as evidence rather than left in a session log. The one row that is still
unconfirmed by design is named: codacy:7935279dc22d4b6af001014179ebdff1, the Stylelint SCSS
exclusion of T009, whose absence only the post-merge analysis can observe.

The report had to run inside this branch, because T044 forbids a repository edit after the final SHA.
That means it ran in the implementing session rather than a fresh one, and it says so in its own
header.

Eleven of the review findings on this pull request were corrections to this report and the round 7
audit rather than to the branch's code: the scorecard disagreed with its own authoritative table
(28/1/27 against the true 30/1/25), T039 was counted under two opposite verdicts, the
per-pull-request ledger receipts were overstated by three rows (#160 19 not 20, #162 51 not 53),
the closing-count table read 25 and 3 rather than 27 confirmed and 1 still open, the walkthrough
summary kept the superseded WEAK count, T044's completion note claimed a documentation sweep that the
round 7 audit then showed was incomplete, the audit overstated its own coverage, this report cited
119 audited statements where the audit's tables hold 129 rows, T044's row claimed the sweep completed
in a SHA that two later commits amended past, and the audit had gained one line declaring FR-002
authoritative that contradicted its own baseline summary plus a verdict cell narrating a round that
postdates it. Each is corrected in this branch with the count re-derived from the artefact rather
than from the prose — which is also how the last two were found, since both had been introduced by an
earlier round's fix.

One correction came later than the rest and is worth naming, because it is about how this scorecard
should be read. A verdict here records whether a task's named artefacts were found, not whether the
task's acceptance thresholds passed — the report explained that for WEAK and left it unsaid for the
other two, which is why T039's rows read ✅ VERIFIED on evidence files that exist while T039's own
note keeps its box open. The dated line at the top of the report now says so.

[ojungo69]

Closing evidence (T045)

This branch merged as 199cf59d29f09c444c2a0d16c8cfe25c5ce93028 (merge commit, two parents). Both
services have since analysed that revision.

Service	Analysis	Timestamp	What it reports
SonarCloud	72ff86ed-89c1-40fa-80a8-41089c9f6a0e	2026-09-13T22:44:55Z	latest analysis of main; revision equal to the merge SHA
Codacy	commit 199cf59d	started 2026-09-13T22:42:29.136Z, ended 2026-09-13T22:42:42.046Z	isUpToStandards true, newIssues 0, every analysis step success, and no ESLint step (the T043a criterion)

The frozen inventory. node scripts/quality-debt-record.mjs --check now exits 0 with
745 ids: 0 missing, 0 duplicate, 0 open, 0 unconfirmed, 0 resolved-without-reason, 0 unknown, 0 without-where, 0 without-verdict.
The one row that was still unconfirmed by design — codacy:7935279dc22d4b6af001014179ebdff1, the
Stylelint_scss_function-disallowed-list exclusion of T009 — is absent from Codacy's analysis of the
merge commit, whose 42 live issues contain no Stylelint pattern at all. --confirm therefore recorded
that SHA in the row, and because T044 forbids a repository edit after this branch's final SHA the
one-line ledger change comes in as #227 rather than here.

The live counts, and who owns them. Both figures are outside the frozen inventory and belong to the
follow-up round in #207, as spec.md's scope amendment says:

• SonarCloud 248 violations on main. The history is the whole story: 15 at ffb9514f, 10 at
  e27bb029 (this feature's last merge), 258 at af871c9a (feat(009): memory core increments A-E5 with the US5 migration security closure #190), 258 at 33f8c382 (perf: enable the compile cache before the engine is compiled #211), 248
  today — 258 minus the ten rows batch F sent.
• Codacy 42 issues on main: 31 Lizard_nloc-medium, 8 Lizard_file-nloc-medium, 3 Semgrep
  findings. 38 of the 42 are uncovered by the inventory; the length findings are in the files feat(009): memory core increments A-E5 with the US5 migration security closure #190
  regrew after batch C split them (research R11), which is why R11's measurements are tied to the
  earlier closing SHA and the follow-up owner.

--check-live still exits 1 on 248 uncovered Sonar ids, 38 uncovered Codacy ids and the 20 + 12
contradicted rows — the same counts as the pre-merge smoke run, so the merge introduced none of them.
That no automated reader runs --check-live is #223; that confirmed accepts a prose measurement is
#224; the count disagreement about what #190 regrew is #226.

Feature 008 closes with 56 of its 59 tasks checked. T032 (the replay bound, 301.3 ms against a 300 ms
limit), T039 (the twelve-pair and recall conditions) and T046 stay open under #225, because each
task's own note records an acceptance condition it does not meet. T046's is the fresh session it asks
for: the verifier ran inside the implementing session, because T044 forbade a repository edit after
the final SHA, and now that 008 is merged the next session can run it and compare verdicts.
