Conversation
Records the execution pointer, the three open branches and their named blockers, the method rulings that were paid for during the dispatch, and the harness arithmetic reconciled in vms-215. Wave 47 outcomes are appended in a follow-up commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Four statements in the 2026-08-01 revision were measurably wrong and are corrected in a new section 0: podman (the host has docker), vms-a30 being outside the closure (it blocks vms-150), the lab path (/data/training/vax), and main's SHA (moved to ce11330). Several origin branches are duplicate refs at the same SHA, so the doc now says to establish a round by SHA. Frontier state: vms-fbe is draft PR #46 at 35/35 green; vms-ecf + vms-f26 are draft PR #47, adversary-cleared but CI-red on a source-scan refusal that is the gate working correctly; vms-cb5 round 4 is pushed and in verification. The executive-resident count is now 7, not 10 -- sys$enq/sys$enqw/sys$deq were demoted to PARTIAL on measured evidence (vms-82a). Section 5 gains the lessons earned this round: open the draft PR early because CI is a different and cheaper oracle; a passing test can conceal the failure mode it was written to detect; distinguish a container's exit status from a suite's; a gate printing a confident wrong cause is worse than one printing none; test a disqualifier for over-firing, since under-claiming is also a wrong measurement; and go to the lab before declaring a VMS value unpinnable.

The eight defects found in passing while settling the three branches were filed unwired; this records where triage put them. A new parent vms-95f groups the four harness-integrity items (vms-b1f, vms-c9c, vms-215, vms-008) and blocks vms-150. vms-38c also blocks vms-150. vms-82a, vms-e60 and vms-2f8 block vms-042; vms-2d37 blocks vms-898. The harness parent blocks vms-150 and deliberately NOT vms-b33: Phase 2 rests on per-suite evidence these defects do not corrupt, and it is the near-term unblock. Phase 3 veracity is exactly the claim that our measurements mean what they say, so it waits. Closure goes 17 -> 26 open, no cycles. That is a sequencing decision, not a scope decision, and section 3 records the undo: un-wiring the five items returns it to 17 and ships the epic sooner on softer evidence. That trade is the operator's. All three branches are now PRs #46, #47 and #48, marked ready for review. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
PR #46 (vms-fbe, c243992) and PR #47 (vms-ecf + vms-f26, 57fc164) are merged; main is eff4fe3 and all three items are closed. PR #48 (vms-cb5) remains open at 1598ef5 with main merged in and the knock_on_fail fix for the two scenario-G/OPCOM+ reds under bind-client-no-register. vms-b33 is unblocked and active: its last two blockers closed with #47, so the fifth Phase 2 verdict is the next thing to run. vms-150 does NOT unblock when #48 merges -- vms-a30, vms-95f and vms-38c also block it. Closure is 23 open, not 26: eight defects triaged in against three items closed on merge, from a starting 17. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The 2026-08-02 revision named PR #48 as its only loose end; #48 merged twelve minutes after that revision was committed, so the document was stale within the hour. Main has since moved eff4fe3 -> 8e8be98 through eight merges closing vms-b33 blockers, plus four SCS merges from another dispatch. vms-b33 is blocked again, by exactly five items -- vms-c79, vms-004e, vms-659, vms-d894, vms-35f -- every one a two-edit escape from a static gate, all filed by the seventh verdict's adversary. Closure re-derived by DAG walk from vms-14f: 35 open, counting the epic, up from 23. Numbers re-derived rather than carried: the eight merge SHAs against gh api (all green on Build & Test and the per-facility negative control job); the ctest counts at 44870ac / 8552c29 / d9b69cc / 8e8be98 (56 / 56 / 58 / 59) by configure-only enumeration, which is what makes "a green on a stale base is not evidence" a measurement rather than an assertion; the CI timeout raise 20 -> 35; the ledger's 22 rows checked against rd's live open set by hand. What was NOT re-measured is labelled as such -- the ctest 2-failure pair and the rd_citations_fresh flake are carried from run 7, and the round ran under a no-builds constraint at 95% disk. Keeps visible: 13 of 44 entry points remain unwired, so Phase 2 closing means what is wired is proven, not that the executive is complete; and the vms-1e1 (B) ruling with its one-command undo, whose binding side condition is now itself under attack by vms-004e and vms-35f.

The 2026-08-03 revision of
docs/HANDOFF-vms-14f.md. Doc-only.Start at §0 — what the 2026-08-02 revision got wrong, including that its single named loose end (PR #48) merged twelve minutes after it was committed, and the worktree-isolation constraints that shaped how this round had to be run.
Then §1 — the execution pointer:
vms-b33isblockedby exactly five two-edit escapes from static gates (vms-c79,vms-004e,vms-659,vms-d894,vms-35f), and the closure is 35 open by DAG walk fromvms-14f, up from 23.This is a NO-GO record. Seven Phase 2 verdicts, seven NO-GOs, every facility attacked survived every time; §3 carries the sentence the four static gates have actually earned, §4 carries what must not be lost in fixing them.
Every figure was re-derived — merge SHAs against
gh api, ctest counts by configure-only enumeration at four commits, the ledger against rd's live open set. Figures I could not re-measure this round are labelled in place.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
