session 2026-09-09 night: REVIEWED-137 verdicts sitting + PENDING-180 [FIX] executed

## Chronological log
### 2026-09-09 night — the verdicts sitting: two answered, two unanswerable, and the cap question receded
**REVIEWED-137 placed (`3d340f6`)** — the four judgments PENDING-169 §5 reserved, produced under
REVIEWED-136's measure/verdict split. Drafted by the executor, placed and corrected (A–F) by the
steward, jurist-signed throughout.
**1 · PRESENCE — ANSWERED.** The position is occupied **on a per-machine clock, and its occupancy is
uncorrelated with where the work is.** Coverage **12 of 13** occasions (13/14 counting the measuring
session — a perishable pair, 11.62 → 12.07 during the sitting), gap runs **[1]**. `tarbuckle-last-tick`
is **one path with no session key**, so the draw is a race won by **render frequency**: on 08-31 two
abandoned panes took **48** draws, the 16.7 MB working session **7**, a 50-min human session **1**.
Only 15% of draws / 30% of lines land within 30 min of activity in their own session.
⚠ **`736ef3cb` is the one genuine miss and it is TICK STARVATION** — never asked, no draw, no
rejection, **no trace**; invisible to every instrument built.
⚠ **`Stop` fires for `claude -p`, so 3 of 10 wrap runs went into mumble subprocesses.** The executor
had certified `0 of 89 into mumbles` as *structural*; that was FALSE — the control tested the
invocation log (status-line surfaces only) and was claimed across all surfaces. Overturned by
transcript hook records. **The jurist accepted the structural reading too.**
**2 · FIDELITY RETROSPECTIVE — UNANSWERABLE, and the reason displaced the question.**
Terminal draws are written by a **detached child**, so a rejection's timestamp is its *completion*.
Pairing rejections to their tick: **6 of 50 pairable on the five 14-word days; 51 of 52 elsewhere.**
**A partition with no exceptions in either direction over 14 days — the pile-up and the lag are ONE
phenomenon.** The attended split is **VOID** (no rates recorded — that interval over that corpus is
the seven-hours class). **08-31 kills the temporal framing**: 6/6 pairable, zero 14-word, between two
heavy days. **It toggles; it is not W1 vs W2 and it did not "improve after 09-02".**
⚠ Mechanism **NOT ESTABLISHED**: `timeout=120` rules out generator latency; sleep unsupported;
render-volume strong but not monotone — **and its attraction is its plausibility** (PENDING-164).
⚠ **`log_rejection` timestamps at write time**, so the **banked per-day series is binned by
child-completion** on exactly the days that matter. The corpus that could check it is gone.
**Every cap argument ever made about this system rests on a confounded evidence base.**
**3 · CONDITION-G INSTRUMENT — DESIGNED, NOT AUTHORIZED. Condition G stands.**
The decisive finding came **entirely from timestamps, counts and surface labels** — the content field
bought nothing and cost the corpus. **Net-negative, established by the case.** The instrument is an
**extension of `log_event`, not a successor to `log_rejection`** (which routes it into the settled
category — `tarbuckle-draws.jsonl` is outside the deletion order). Fields: **`tick_id`** (named by two
failures, not designed) · `words` · `reason_category` (replacing `why`, which reproduces content by
construction via `echoes_soul()`). Structurally content-free = **the writer never holds the content.**
⚠ Bounded: the hard form was **not needed for this case**; **no case requiring it has been
constructed.** NOT "condition G dissolves". ⚠ Must be **paired with a non-event measure** — a
rejection counter cannot see tick starvation.
**4 · WRAP — cost answered, cap UNANSWERABLE.** **80 s of blocking `Stop` per fortnight; 18 s (30% of
occasions, 23% of time) marked the end of the fool's own generator.** Seven real thresholds at ~7 s is
proportionate. `[FIX]` available and **not applied**: gate on `TARBUCKLE_CHILD` (already set and passed
by the body) — ⚠ gives that variable a second meaning, needs a comment naming both.
**PENDING-180 `[FIX]` executed on steward release** (`049ca57`, addendum `e611bee`). Census: **15
positive-form source assertions across 8 governed scripts, exactly ONE self-planted needle** — the one
filed; the polarity argument predicted siblings, there are none. `source_has()` built beside
`source_lacks()`; `seam` repaired (filed `:164`, defective `:165`, repaired `:176`), aimed at the
**writer's** file. **Mutation-verified**: repaired FAILS both mutations, old form PASSES the one that
matters.
⚠ **THE MECHANISM IS NOT WHOLE.** `source_has`/`source_lacks` assemble the **assertion's** needle from
parts; **nothing stops prose in the same file planting a contiguous copy** — the executor did exactly
that in the comment explaining the bug, caught only by mutation (selftest was 17/17 throughout).
**REVIEWED-137 §6 declares the repair verified.**
**Party data.** ⚠ **Jurist: THREE closures in the direction requiring no further work**, the third
*inside the sitting where the executor had flagged the first two*. Live for PENDING-89 and Constraint 6.
**Executor:** the `0 of 89` frame-inheritance · a denominator arithmetic error · a positive control
asserted rather than established · a census carrying the defect it audited · the re-planted needle · and
**the unit of my verification predicate mismatching the unit of my claim, 3×**.
⚠ **PENDING-168's count NOT incremented** despite a fourth occurrence — the unit is the steward's.
**Open, ranked:** the condition-G ruling (+ non-event measure) · PENDING-168's count unit (PENDING-180
dischargeable on it) · the assertion-vs-file gap · the `TARBUCKLE_CHILD` `[FIX]` · PENDING-179's
two-prompt predicate · the render-volume hypothesis, first to test, plausibility flagged as the hazard.
