The steward deferred the fence work (MOVE 2 / answer key / MOVE 1) to the
morning of 2026-08-20, because two other pieces of work come first and may
reshape it. Recorded in MEMORY.md's Active Session block and in the ledger,
with the dependency flagged as stated-in-kind but not yet named.
Filed while re-measuring N-now under REVIEWED-123 cond. 2 rather than
relaying last night's figure: the count is 47, not 61. The trigger globs
*.jsonl in a directory the harness prunes at 30 days, so it is a rolling
window, not a cumulative count. transcripts 84 is very likely unsatisfiable
at ~1 session/day, and the trial's evidence is expiring — 13 post-intervention
transcripts survive, the 2026-08-07 cohort deleted 2026-09-06.
The gate's own positive controls pass and see none of it: they establish that
threshold comparison works, not that the count means sessions-since-intervention.
Eighth instance of the wrong-subject family (OWED-1), first inside a governance gate.
