** Active Goal
-Sentry armed for the night on =sentry/2026-07-23-ratio=, hourly. Morning teardown is Craig's.
+Sentry re-armed for the night 2026-07-24 on =sentry/2026-07-24-ratio=, hourly, with the implement pass ON (=:SENTRY_MAY_IMPLEMENT: yes=). This run implements solo, decision-free tasks and arriving solo work on the branch, never pushing; shared-asset/convention proposals still park. Bug+refactor finding files graded tasks. Every review runs the premise check first (reproduce before judging). Morning teardown + merge is Craig's. Earlier-tonight run (2026-07-24 00:xx) shipped the sentry workflow addition itself (pass 11 refactor finding, pass 12 opt-in implement, the =:SENTRY_MAY_IMPLEMENT:= marker) to main, plus the speedrun (4 solo tasks) and eight parked VERIFYs.

Two fires' worth of evidence now says bundle-to-bundle propagation is where this repo leaks changes.
+** 00:51 — Fire 1 of the 2026-07-24 run (working) — first fire with pass 12 live
+
+Lock acquired, branch =sentry/2026-07-24-ratio= verified, tree clean outside the spine. Digest:
+
+- P1 roam pull — ran, already up to date.
+- P2 inbox zero — ran, no-op. Inbox at zero (the question-capture proposal was parked during entry).
+- P3 triage intake — skipped: no active source surviving the mail/messenger exclusion.
+- P4 todo cleanup — ran with real work. =--archive-done= moved three completed speedrun tasks out of Open Work into Resolved; =--convert-subtasks= normalized the tree. Committed.
+- P5 task audit — mechanical subset. Staleness 13, back to the pre-speedrun baseline now that the four solo tasks closed.
+- P6 working-files hygiene — ran. All =working/= dirs still have open backing VERIFY tasks (the parked proposals). No orphans.
+- P7 spec status board — ran. Two READY specs, nothing stuck.
+- P8 link integrity — ran. The docs-lifecycle spec still shows its two known prose false positives (=file:→id:= and =keep-file:-links-through-pilot=, bare =file:= tokens org parses as bracketless links). Correctly unaffected by tonight's spec-scoping, since =link-to-local-file= is org-lint's own checker, not a todo-format one. No new findings.
+- P9 git health — main level with origin, sentry branch correctly has no upstream, no stale branches.
+- P10 prep freshness — skipped: no =daily-prep/=.
+- P11 bug and refactor finding — ran, first fire under the widened pass. Rotating area: the cross-project routing scripts (=route_recommend.py=, =broadcast.py=), untouched by the previous six areas. One verified latent bug filed [#D] (below). Refactor note not worth a task: =recommend='s two weak-tier branches collapse to a single =_tiebreak= call, since =_tiebreak= on a one-element list returns that element. Two lines, no behavior change, so it's a digest line rather than backlog noise.
+- P12 solo-task implementation — *active this run* (=:SENTRY_MAY_IMPLEMENT: yes=) but a correct no-op: zero eligible tasks. All four open =:solo:= TODOs were completed in tonight's speedrun, so the ready bucket is empty. Nothing to implement, nothing deferred.
+
+*** The finding
+
+=route_recommend='s =discover_destination_names= collapses projects to bare basenames, so two projects sharing a basename across roots would both literal-match and read as an ambiguous tie, downgrading a correct strong match to weak. Reproduced by direct probe. Latent rather than live: 27 projects, 27 distinct basenames today. The destination stays right, only the tier is wrong, so the cost is an extra routing prompt. Filed [#D] with the order-preserving dedupe as the fix.
+
+** 01:33 — Fire 2 (working) — pass 12's first real implementations
+
+Digest:
+
+- P1 roam pull — ran, already up to date.
+- P2 inbox zero — ran. Project inbox at zero. The roam inbox dropped 9 → 5 (another session filed some); all 5 remaining belong to archsetup or work, none rulesets-claimed, so roam mode is correctly a no-op here.
+- P3 triage intake — skipped: no active source.
+- P4 todo cleanup — ran, all three checks clean (fire 1 did the archiving).
+- P5 task audit — mechanical subset. Staleness 13, flat.
+- P6 working-files hygiene — ran. All =working/= dirs still backed by open VERIFYs.
+- P7 spec status board — ran. Two READY specs, nothing stuck.
+- P8 link integrity — ran. Only the docs-lifecycle spec's two known prose false positives.
+- P9 git health — main level with origin, sentry branch correctly upstream-less.
+- P10 prep freshness — skipped: no =daily-prep/=.
+- P11 bug and refactor finding — rotating area: the cj-comment tooling (=cj-scan.py=, =cj-remove-block.py=). Two findings filed, one of them serious.
+- P12 solo-task implementation — *two tasks implemented and committed to the branch* (17f5d48, 1b0f284). Both premise-checked before a line was written.
+
+*** The serious find: cj-remove-block destroys content
+
+=looks_like_cj_range= validated only the first and last lines of a range. A span from one cj block's opener to a *later* block's closer passed, and the removal then deleted everything between — prose, headings, whole tasks — silently, exit 0. That is exactly the failure the check exists to prevent, and drift is its normal case, since =respond-to-cj-comments= edits the file while processing and a file under cj review usually holds several blocks. Reproduced on a two-block fixture that lost a heading and two content lines. Filed [#B], then implemented in pass 12 after an independent re-verification on a different fixture shape.
+
+Same file, second defect fixed alongside: =remove_range= rewrote the org file with a bare =write_text= (truncates on open) and took no backup, so a mid-write failure would leave =todo.org= truncated with nothing to recover from. =lint-org.el= already backs these files up to =/tmp= before mutating; cj-remove-block now matches that and writes atomically.
+
+*** The measurement lesson, third time tonight
+
+A full-suite run went red on =audit.bats= test 4. I stashed my changes, saw it pass clean, and had a one-sample A/B pointing straight at my own diff. Re-ran three times with the changes restored and it passed every time. The failure is an intermittent teardown flake (=rm -rf= racing something still writing into a fixture =.git/objects=), not my change, and I nearly filed the wrong cause off a single sample. Filed [#C] with the git-background-gc theory explicitly labelled a lead rather than a verified cause.
+
+Committed only on a genuinely green re-run, not on the red with a hand-wave.
+
+** 02:33 — Fire 3 (working) — the flake's cause traced, and my own lead disproved
+
+Digest:
+
+- P1 roam pull — ran, already up to date.
+- P2 inbox zero — ran, no-op. Project inbox at zero; roam holds 5, none rulesets-claimed.
+- P3 triage intake — skipped: no active source.
+- P4 todo cleanup — ran. =--archive-done= moved fire 2's two completed tasks to Resolved. Committed.
+- P5 task audit — mechanical subset. Staleness 13, flat.
+- P6 working-files hygiene — ran, all dirs backed.
+- P7 spec status board — ran, two READY, nothing stuck.
+- P8 link integrity — ran, only the known docs-lifecycle prose false positives.
+- P9 git health — main level with origin, branch upstream-less, nothing stale.
+- P10 prep freshness — skipped.
+- P11 bug and refactor finding — no new findings. The fire's whole investigative budget went to confirming fire 2's filed flake, which is the honest place for it; a hunt that finds nothing new is a result.
+- P12 solo-task implementation — one task implemented and committed (7f45d4b).
+
+*** Confirming the cause before fixing, and disproving my own lead
+
+Fire 2 filed the =audit.bats= flaky teardown with a stated theory: =gc.auto='s loose-object threshold. Pass 12's premise check went after that theory rather than the fix, and killed it — a fixture holds five objects against a default threshold of 6700, so that mechanism cannot fire.
+
+The real cause came from a =GIT_TRACE= run: =git commit= spawns =git maintenance run --auto --quiet --detach= on git 2.55. The commit returns while the detached process is still writing a pack, and teardown's =rm -rf= races it. Every failed run had left a =tmp_pack_*= behind, which is the thread that led there.
+
+Fix: =maintenance.auto false= plus =gc.auto 0= in the fixture, killing the background writer rather than retrying the delete (a retry loop hides a live process instead of removing it). Validated over 20 consecutive clean runs against a ~1-in-8 baseline, and recorded honestly in the task that 20 clean runs alone would be ~7% likely by luck — the trace is the evidence, the runs confirm.
+
+This is the second night running where the premise check changed the outcome. Fire 2 it stopped a wrong causation call; here it stopped me implementing a fix for a mechanism that was never operating. Both times the cost of checking was minutes and the cost of not checking would have been a plausible, wrong, committed change.
+
+** 03:33 — Fire 4 (working) — two hypotheses killed, one real gap closed
+
+Digest:
+
+- P1 roam pull — ran, up to date. P2 inbox zero — no-op, both surfaces clean. P3 triage — skipped, no active source.
+- P4 todo cleanup — ran. Archived fire 3's completed task to Resolved. Committed.
+- P5 task audit — mechanical subset. Staleness 13, flat all night.
+- P6 working-files — all dirs backed. P7 spec board — two READY, nothing stuck. P8 link integrity — only the known prose false positives. P9 git health — clean. P10 — skipped, no prep dir.
+- P11 bug and refactor finding — rotating area: the org-file mutators, chosen because =cj-remove-block= yielded a serious find in that same class last fire. One gap filed.
+- P12 solo-task implementation — one task implemented and committed (0686784).
+
+*** What the area review actually found, and what it disproved
+
+The lead was that =todo-cleanup.el= might lose data. It rewrites =todo.org=, creates archive files, and moves subtrees *between* files, which is the shape that bit =cj-remove-block=. Two specific hypotheses, both tested, both wrong:
+
+- *"A mid-move failure loses a subtree from both files."* No. The order is delete-from-buffer, write-archive, save-todo.org-last, so an archive-write failure aborts before the save. Verified by making the archive directory unwritable: exit 255, =todo.org= byte-identical, content intact.
+- *"Errors are swallowed on the mutation path."* No. The only =ignore-errors= in the file wrap =call-process "git"=, never a write.
+
+What survived was narrower and real: todo-cleanup mutates with *no backup*, while both sibling mutators (=lint-org.el=, =wrap-org-table.el=) copy to =/tmp= first, and =cj-remove-block= joined them last fire. It is also the one that runs most often. Confirmed empirically that Emacs's own backup does not fire under =--batch -q=, so there was genuinely no undo short of git. Filed [#C], then implemented in P12.
+
+Also checked my own change for regression rather than assuming: a missing input file exits 255 and creates nothing, identical to the pre-change version tested from git.
+
+*** Running tally on the premise habit
+
+Three fires, three times it changed the outcome. Fire 2 it stopped a wrong causation call. Fire 3 it disproved my own filed =gc.auto= theory before I could implement against it. Here it killed two data-loss hypotheses before they became tasks, leaving only the gap that was actually there. The pattern is consistent: the cheap check keeps a plausible story from becoming a committed change.
+
+** 04:33 — Fire 5 (working) — the first real defer, and last fire's fix proving itself
+
+Digest:
+
+- P1 roam pull — ran, up to date. P2 inbox zero — no-op, both surfaces clean. P3 triage — skipped, no active source.
+- P4 todo cleanup — ran, archived fire 4's completed task. *Confirmed last fire's backup fix working live*: the real =--archive-done= run left =/tmp/todo.org.before-todo-cleanup.20260724-043331=. Dogfooded within an hour of shipping.
+- P5 task audit — staleness 13, flat all night. P6 working-files — all backed. P7 spec board — two READY. P8 link integrity — only the known prose false positives. P9 git health — clean. P10 — skipped.
+- P11 bug and refactor finding — rotating area: the attachment/email handlers, chosen because they parse genuinely untrusted input, unlike every internal-tooling area covered so far. One finding filed.
+- P12 solo-task implementation — *deferred*, and correctly. First defer of the run.
+
+*** The find: attachment filenames are partly sanitized, in two different ways
+
+Both writers derive on-disk names from the =filename= an email declares, and both sanitize incompletely, covering *different* gaps. =eml-view= cleans the name but interpolates the extension raw. =gmail-fetch='s =safe_filename= handles path separators and leading =..= and nothing else. Probed both with the same adversarial set: a =; rm -rf ~= extension survives in both, a literal newline survives in both, a 300-character extension produces a 314-character filename in both.
+
+Two things I checked so this doesn't get over-graded later. Not RCE — files are written through Python =open=, never a shell. Not path traversal — =splitext= only returns an extension when the last dot follows the last separator, so =ext= can never hold a slash, and the traversal case is neutralized in both scripts. The genuine harms are narrower: a newline in a filename breaks downstream tooling that reads the directory as a line-delimited list, and an unbounded extension blows the 255-byte limit so a crafted attachment aborts extraction. Graded [#C] on that honest read rather than the scarier one.
+
+I also corrected my own framing mid-investigation. I first read this as the familiar "one sibling hardened, the other not" pattern from the last two fires. It isn't — =safe_filename= is narrower than it looks, and the two scripts are *differently* incomplete. Neither handles newlines or length.
+
+*** Why pass 12 deferred instead of implementing
+
+The fix itself is clear, but where the shared sanitizer lives is a design call: a shared helper module (clean, but a new synced template file plus =importlib= gymnastics for kebab-named scripts), duplicate it in both (self-contained, but drift — the exact defect class that produced three separate findings tonight), or patch each in place (smallest diff, permanent divergence). That is deliberation, not a quick factual question, so checklist item 4 fires and the unattended loop defers. Filed the VERIFY with the three options and my lean, and left the task *un-=:solo:=-tagged* so a later run doesn't pick it up and guess.
+
+This is the checklist discriminating rather than rubber-stamping. Four fires implemented; this one correctly didn't.
+
+sentry at 05:33: nothing (bug hunt swept =scripts/*.py=; two candidate gaps both disproved — =workflow-integrity.py= *is* gated, its bats runs the real checker against the real canonical tree under =make test=, and =update-skills.py= is an on-demand maintenance command rather than a gate. Recorded so neither gets re-investigated.)
+
+sentry at 06:33: nothing (bug hunt swept =wrap-org-table.el=, the third org-file mutator and the one with prior history — its load-time dispatch caused the 2026-07-09 corruption. Clean on every probe: the entry-script guard correctly refuses to dispatch when lint-org merely =require='s it, it backs up before writing like its siblings, and it is block-aware — a table inside =#+begin_example= stayed verbatim while a real over-budget table wrapped onto continuation rows with rules. Second consecutive quiet hunt.)
+
+** 07:33 — Fire 8 (working) — a time bomb I planted four fires ago went off
+
+Digest: P1-P10 all no-op (roam current, both inboxes clean, todo cleanup clean, staleness 13, working dirs backed, two READY specs, only the known prose link false positives, git clean). P11 found a real coverage gap. P12 implemented it, and the suite caught a regression of my own making.
+
+*** The find: the only ungated shell in the repo
+
+=scripts/lint.sh= sweeps =scripts/*.sh=, the language hooks, and the language githooks. It never touched =claude-templates/bin/= — zero references. Those four scripts (=ai=, =agent-text=, =agent-page=, =install-ai=) are the ones =make install= symlinks onto PATH, which makes them the *most* exposed shell in the repo and left them the only shell with no gate over it. All four are clean today, so the guard is a no-op by design; it exists so a future regression can't pass silently. The =ai= launcher was hardened to 42 tests recently and nothing enforced that going forward.
+
+The test pins *coverage*, not cleanliness: it plants a broken file in each swept location and asserts lint complains, so a location that stops being swept fails the suite rather than passing quietly.
+
+Surfaced a bigger question I did *not* answer overnight: rulesets ships shellcheck enforcement to consuming projects (the bash bundle's pre-commit, =validate-bash.sh=) and runs none on itself. Filed as a VERIFY, because turning it on would surface the false positives dispositioned earlier this session and choosing between fixing them or adding disable-directives is a preference, not a fact.
+
+*** The regression: my own test, detonating on schedule
+
+The full suite went red on the two backup tests I added in fire 4. Not a flake — a time bomb. They globbed =/tmp/todo.org.before-todo-cleanup.*=, but the backup name derives from the file's *basename*, and the real =todo.org= shares it. So a live sentry run's genuine backup was indistinguishable from the test's own artifact, and the check-mode test (which asserts *no* backup exists) failed the moment fire 5's real archive pass created one.
+
+They passed when written only because no real backup existed yet. Three now sit in =/tmp=. Both tests rebind =temporary-file-directory= to a private dir, and I verified they pass with the real backups present rather than by clearing them.
+
+Worth naming plainly: I shipped a test whose correctness depended on the state of a shared directory that the code under test writes to in production. That is the "no shared mutable state" rule in =testing.md=, and I broke it while fixing a different durability bug. The suite caught it two fires later, which is the argument for running the full suite every fire rather than only the touched file.
+
* Sentry approval queue (2026-07-23)
Five items. Each names what, why, and the exact edit. Items 2 through 5 are also filed as =VERIFY [#B]= tasks in =todo.org= with prepared diffs under =working/=, so they survive this anchor being archived — say "approve the parked <topic>" for any of them.
