CLOUD-1127's successor, ported off `mise-tasks/landed-check.sh`. This commit carries the pure predicate and its unit tier; the retirement of the program and its suite, the verb surface and the compiled tier follow on this branch. The tracker's automation moves a column on a MENTION, which is not the event of the work landing, and that produces two dishonest columns in opposite directions. Only one was ever swept: * behind git — a row sits In Progress while its work is on `main` (CLOUD-186); * ahead of nothing — a row the PR body explicitly DECLINED is advanced by the same merge that declined it (CLOUD-1127). `DO-NOT-CLOSE` is honoured by `closing-key-check`, which is ours, and ignored by whatever writes the transition, which is not. The second is the worse one. A stranded row sits behind its work and something sweeps for it; an over-advanced row leaves the ready queue, stops being pullable, and reads to every other session as work already done. WHY THIS IS RUST AND NOT REGO, because CLOUD-1127's section 1 said otherwise twice and both are corrected on the row. The predicate reads a tracker payload and main's commit MESSAGES. A module reads `input.tree.*`, can spawn nothing, and has no commit-message fact — `input.tree["commit-meta"]` is a range's identity fields and carries no body (CLOUD-1187). A module written against it would load clean, read undefined and decide nothing. `ready.rs` carries the same paragraph for the same reason; `shell-retirement` admits `crates/batten/src/*.rs` for exactly this case, and the ledger arm will declare `kind:verb`. WHAT IS DELIBERATELY NOT BUILT, and it is a scope refusal rather than an omission. CLOUD-1127's served-key arm refuses a started row when no commit in the merged range names it as its first `Refs:` key. The program being retired carries the counter-measurement in its own refusal text: only 3% of this repo's commits carry a closing keyword, because fast-forward landing puts it in the PR body. A row closed properly through `Closes <key>` satisfies that refusal — a gate whose first firing is a false positive, which is the shape whose exception rots. Its other conjunct, "whose most recent transition was written by the merge automation", is not computable from a `get_issue` payload at all. Both are recorded on the row. The `DO-NOT-CLOSE` arm depends on neither and is the one CLOUD-1127 itself calls load-bearing: an explicit human statement, so a transition contradicting it is wrong with no inference. `decide` is pure — no clock, no filesystem, no process — which is what lets the predicate be tested without a tracker or a forge, the same split `speculation.rs` makes. Two cases carry the weight: the substring trap, where `CLOUD-179` on main must not drain `CLOUD-17`, and the arm that keeps the marker usable, where a declined row still in Todo passes so this is not a blanket refusal of `DO-NOT-CLOSE`. `module-map-check` refused the first attempt — a new `src/*.rs` owes a row in `mem:core` — so the map carries one, written through Serena's `edit_memory` because a path write to `.serena/memories/**` is what `protected-mutation` refuses. 8 of 8 green. Refs: CLOUD-1127, CLOUD-186 Admits: e83bbbf2a2fb38fc4609eda53a44c8d45907e2fdfe81a4667906eebc77e98be8 Admits-rule: protected-mutation Admits-verdict: path write refused Admits-subject: .serena/memories/core.md Admits-head: 1105c21 Admits-epoch: 18ecea3a9e9e4670e9b6ddb36a33f0bcb313fb80c0bf3dbdddf9247c0b5d6d4c Admits-author: alec@wenzowski.com Admits-prev: - Admits-answer-lost: Either `landed.rs` cannot land at all, or the map silently stops being the authority it claims to be. `module-map-check` is the sensor on exactly that, so the practical loss is the whole CLOUD-1127 retirement: the successor cannot be committed, the governed program cannot be deleted, and `DO-NOT-CLOSE` keeps declining a close while the merge advances the row anyway. Admits-answer-precondition: `module-map-check` refuses a commit adding a `crates/*/src/*.rs` whose module is absent from `.serena/memories/core.md`, and that map is the one authority on what each module owns — nothing else expresses it. So adding `landed.rs` without a map row is unlandable, and the row can only be written into that file. The write went through Serena's `edit_memory`, which is the route `protected-mutation` itself redirects to, and it lands in the same diff as the module it describes so a reviewer reads both together. Admits-answer-rejected-route: `config read first` does not apply: nothing in `batten.toml` can add a row to a module map, and the config is not what is wrong — reading it is how I confirmed the map is the declared authority. `patch run first` does not apply either: there is no generator for `core.md` and no task emits it, so a patch route would be this same write with a step in front of it.
Wires `batten landed check` end to end: two `CommandDecl` rows, a `LandedCommand` appended after `Singleton` because a shifted discriminant is a break the crate has to declare, `landed_of` over three evidence flags, and the dispatch. Declared `Effect::Read` — it reads a payload and three caller-supplied files and starts no program, which is what keeps it on the read surface where its predecessor spawned `claimed-keys`. THE EXIT CODES ARE INVERTED RELATIVE TO THE PROGRAM THIS RETIRES, deliberately and by mandate. `landed-check.sh` answered 1 for a board behind git and 2 for input it could not read. The engine has one table with no per-verb exception — 2 is the policy verdict everywhere, and 1/3 are the only codes a Batten failure produces — so the port takes it: clean 0, dishonest column 2, could-not-look 1. Measured on the built binary, all three. Any caller branching on the old codes changes meaning, which is what the repointing in the retirement commit has to account for. THE TWO EVIDENCE FLAGS ARE ASYMMETRIC ON PURPOSE, carried over rather than tidied. `--merged-prs` absent is could-not-look, because half the landed disjunction is what merged pull requests closed and this repository measures only 3% of its own commits as carrying a closing keyword — fast-forward landing puts it in the PR body — so deciding on trailers alone reports a clean column it never checked. `--landed-by` absent is simply "no assertions", the ordinary case, which cannot manufacture a false green. A row drained by it prints `asserted by --landed-by: <ref>`, so a reader can tell the caller's word from evidence rather than having to trust the union. `is_key` deliberately does NOT encode the tracker's key shape. That vocabulary is the consumer's `[[pattern]]` registry and rule 1 keeps it out of `crates/batten`; what the TSV readers need is the generic property, a non-empty token carrying no whitespace. It SKIPS a line rather than refusing one, because these files are assembled from forge output by whatever fetched it and a gate that refused a run over somebody's export header would be unrunnable for a reason unrelated to the board. Driven over the real defect this row was filed for: a board carrying CLOUD-1431 In Review with `DO-NOT-CLOSE CLOUD-1431` in the declined set reports `In Review -> Todo declined-but-advanced` at exit 2. That is the instance from 2026-09-04, where two pull requests named a settled row and the merge advanced it anyway. Refs: CLOUD-1127, CLOUD-186
…icate `landed.rs` carries the predicate's own tier; this is the one that proves the ENGINE builds the input the predicate reads — the argv, the three evidence files, the stdin payload, the exit table and the pointer shape. A unit case over `decide` settles none of those, because it CONSTRUCTS the `Evidence` the verb is supposed to assemble, which is the fabricate-the-shape defect `.claude/rules/policy-modules.md` records for `with input as`. THE CONTROLS ARE CLOUD-1127'S OWN, drawn from real state rather than invented. PR #726, merged 2026-08-28, carried `Closes CLOUD-1119`, `Closes CLOUD-1120`, `DO-NOT-CLOSE CLOUD-1110` and `DO-NOT-CLOSE CLOUD-985`, and `closing-key-check` passed. At the merge second both declined rows moved to In Review anyway. The negative case is CLOUD-1110 declined and advanced; the positive is CLOUD-1120 closed in the body and honestly In Review, which the sweep must leave alone. Three cases carry more weight than the rest: `the_finding_carries_no_body_text` feeds a payload with a `description` field and asserts it never appears in stdout or stderr. Rule 4 is structural in the predicate — `Finding` has no field a body could occupy — but only this tier can show the VERB does not reintroduce one on the way out. `a_sweep_with_no_merged_pr_evidence_refuses_rather_than_passing` pins exit 1 and asserts the clean line is absent. That is the whole reliability of the gate: only 3% of this repository's commits carry a closing keyword, so a sweep deciding on trailers alone reports a clean column it never checked, and this repository has shipped that shape twice. `a_header_line_in_the_evidence_does_not_stop_the_sweep` pins the skip-rather- than-refuse direction. These files are assembled from forge output by whatever fetched it, and a gate that refused a run over somebody's export header would be unrunnable for a reason unrelated to the board — while the key on the next line must still decide. 11 of 11 green. Refs: CLOUD-1127, CLOUD-186
`landed` widens the command surface, so completions, man pages and the JSON schema snapshot follow it. Regenerated by `mise run fix` rather than hand-edited — `derived-check` compares them against the spec, and a hand-written one is the second authority `surface.rs` exists to prevent. Two new man pages, one per declared path. Refs: CLOUD-1127
`verify` refused the verb on four counts. Each is the surface holding a new command to something already declared rather than anything wrong with the predicate. THE READ-ONLY ALLOWLIST IS DERIVED, SO IT HAD TO BE TOLD. It is `filter(effect == read)` over the spec, compared against a committed literal, so declaring `landed check` as `Effect::Read` moved the derived side and left the literal behind. `landed check` earns the classification: it reads a payload on stdin and three caller-supplied files and starts no program, because the `claimed-keys` spawn its shell predecessor made is supplied AS evidence instead. The noun stays unclassified for `capture`'s reason — a consumer treating an entry as a prefix must be handed only what is actually read-only. MODULE LAYERING TREATS AN UNPLACED MODULE AS A HOLE, NOT AN ALLOW. Its own header says so: "a table that silently allowed it would be the vacuous pass this row cites CLOUD-251 for". `landed` joins `declared_modules`, and the write is behind a spent admission because a policy module is protected — the route that stops an agent editing the rules that judge it without saying why. TWO CLIPPY LINTS, BOTH THE WORKSPACE'S STANDING ONES. `format_collect` over three `map(format!).collect()` sites in the tier's helper, each allocating a `String` the collect drops; and `unwrap_used`, which is denied on every reachable path including a `src` test module. AND THE FIX FOR THE SECOND WAS VACUOUS ON ITS FIRST TWO SPELLINGS, which is the part worth keeping. `assert!(false, ...)` is refused as an assertion on a constant. Comparing through `ok()` instead passes trivially when BOTH sides are `Err`, because two errors both map to `None` — agreement about nothing, over a verb that rejected both payload shapes. The guard above the equality asserts the payload parsed at all, which is the same anti-vacuity shape `neither_reading_is_empty_so_agreement_is_not_agreement_about_nothing` already carries one suite over. 10 of 10 spec cases green, `module-layering` clean, clippy clean. Refs: CLOUD-1127 Admits: dc18e216b9dfac1703620bb41780c5542ed10a43e97c5ee1de44c5d2dfdba485 Admits-rule: protected-mutation Admits-verdict: path write refused Admits-subject: policy/module-layering.rego Admits-head: 4f4cd0e Admits-epoch: 18ecea3a9e9e4670e9b6ddb36a33f0bcb313fb80c0bf3dbdddf9247c0b5d6d4c Admits-author: alec@wenzowski.com Admits-prev: - Admits-answer-lost: The gate goes red and stays red, so nothing on this branch can land. Reverting `landed.rs` instead loses CLOUD-1127 entirely: `DO-NOT-CLOSE` keeps declining a close while the merge advances the row anyway, which is the defect that put CLOUD-1431 in the wrong column for two hours today. Placing the module dishonestly — declaring an edge it does not have — would be worse than either. Admits-answer-precondition: `module-layering.rego`'s own header states that absence is an error rather than an allow: "`declared_modules` must name every module in the judged set. A module nobody has placed is a hole in the claim, and a table that silently allowed it would be the vacuous pass this row cites CLOUD-251 for." Adding `landed.rs` therefore makes the gate red until the table names it, and the table lives only in that module — no config key and no generator can add a member. The write is one word in a sorted list, landing in the same diff as the module it places. Admits-answer-rejected-route: `config read first` does not apply: `batten.toml` carries no module table and cannot, because `declared_modules` is a claim about this crate's own source graph rather than a consumer fact. Reading the config is how I confirmed that. `patch run first` does not apply either: nothing generates this module, no task emits it, and the bytes are hand-authored Rego — a patch route would be this same write with a step in front of it.
…erve
`every_data_channel_verb_emits_one_pure_json_document` refused the row, and the
first fix for it was wrong about the cause.
The contract is not about which stream the clean line goes to. It is that a data
channel emits its document UNCONDITIONALLY — the case's own words, "including
when the answer is empty; JSON that is sometimes absent is unparseable" — and
the census invokes each declaring verb with its declared arguments and NO STDIN.
This verb's payload is stdin. That left two honest ways to satisfy the contract
and both were worse than withdrawing:
* emit `{"findings": []}` on the could-not-look arm, which is exactly the false
green the whole gate exists to refuse — a sweep reporting a clean board it
never looked at, the shape this repository has shipped twice;
* grow a `ready lint --issue` affordance resolving the board from the capture
store, which is a second input surface nothing has asked for and which this
row does not need.
So `data_channel` is `false`, the `-J` flag is gone, and the reason is recorded
beside the declaration rather than left for the next reader to re-derive. The
program being retired emits no JSON either, so the port is faithful without one:
the findings were always pointer lines on stderr and the exit code.
Stated plainly because it was mine: the data channel was scope I added to a port,
and the gate is what took it back.
Derived artifacts regenerated, since dropping a flag moves completions, the man
page and the schema snapshot.
Refs: CLOUD-1127
`every_leaf_verb_is_classified` is total in both directions, so `landed check` joining the surface fails it until somebody says which bucket it is in. It is `PointerOnly`, and the arm is a live reading rather than a declaration: the corpus seeds `landed-merged.tsv`, the payload is a board whose row is In Progress with a merged pull request behind it, so the verb reaches its FINDING renderer — the only arm where a leak could happen. The board's `description` carries a new CONTENT canary. A tracker row's body is the widest one on any read surface, which is where a consumer's own facts live, and `landed::Finding` has no field prose could occupy. This decides that from outside the type rather than from its doc comment. `.tsv` sits outside every glob the corpus authority declares and outside the budget's named files, so the seeded evidence is subject matter for exactly one verb. Refs: CLOUD-186
`use_graph::the_syntactic_tier_diverges_in_two_classes` counts the edges a line predicate is silently green on — an import through the root re-export resolves to a module the text never names. The count is 2, and it measures two legacy sites (`output.rs`, `trust.rs`); the other 28 modules in this crate already spell it `crate::error::UsageError`. So the gate was right and this module was the outlier. Conformed rather than widened: raising the count to 3 would have retired a measurement to make room for a spelling nothing else in the tree uses. Refs: CLOUD-186

`batten landed check` was ported in #859 and completed in #864, but the shell programs it replaced are still the ones that run. The blocker to retiring them is that `in-progress-drain.sh` carries a SECOND predicate, `claimed-abandoned`, with no successor anywhere in the tree — a pattern scan finds it in exactly two files, the dying program and its dying suite. Retiring without it would delete 18 cases into nothing, which is the conserves-files-not-logic defect CLOUD-908 records. So the successor lands first, with both programs untouched and still authoritative. That is the shape `.claude/rules/toolchain.md` names for `gh-guard`, and it is what makes the parity comparison real. An arm rather than a new verb: CLOUD-1182 measured 77 of 113 engine-source retirements landing a brand-new top-level noun and named that the scope creep. Two decisions the shell made implicitly and this makes explicit. The refs list arrives as `--refs` EVIDENCE rather than through a `git ls-remote`. `spec.rs` admits `landed check` to the read-only allowlist precisely because it "starts no program", so spawning here would take the arm off it. Gathering is the caller's half of agents-fetch-gates-decide, where a credential belongs. The instant is supplied rather than read. House style §6 requires byte-stable output, which a value differing per invocation cannot give, and without it every fixture date drifts out of the bound as the calendar moves. The boundary parses it and the predicate is handed a day number, so the decision stays pure. The two-stage narrowing is behaviour, not an optimisation: `updatedAt` is demanded of the candidates, `attachments` and `gitBranchName` only of the stale ones. A fresh row is never demanded of a key a tracker's list projection cannot carry, and an unresolved row in a mixed payload still refuses — both directions in one case, so the exemption cannot hide the refusal.

The successor half of CLOUD-1127, landed first.
DO-NOT-CLOSEdeclines the close and does not decline the column: the marker ishonoured by
closing-key-check, which is this repository's, and ignored bywhatever writes the board transition, which is not. So a row can be declined and
advanced by the same merge. It happened again on 2026-09-04 — CLOUD-1431 was
closed by #851, then named in the bodies of #855 and #856, and sat In Progress
for two hours until a hand-move corrected it.
What lands
crates/batten/src/landed.rs,batten landed check, and a compiled tier.Two directions, where the retiring program swept only one:
main(CLOUD-186);The second is the worse one. A stranded row sits behind its work and something
looks for it; an over-advanced row leaves the ready queue, stops being pullable,
and reads to every other session as work already done.
Driven over the real instance: a board carrying CLOUD-1431 In Review with
DO-NOT-CLOSE CLOUD-1431declined reportsIn Review -> Todo declined-but-advancedat exit 2.Why Rust and not Rego
CLOUD-1127's §1 said otherwise twice and both are corrected on the row. The
predicate reads a tracker payload AND
main's commit messages. A module readsinput.tree.*, can spawn nothing, and has no commit-message fact —input.tree["commit-meta"]is a range's identity fields and carries no body(CLOUD-1187) — so a module would load clean, read undefined and decide nothing.
ready.rscarries the same paragraph for the same reason.What is deliberately not built
CLOUD-1127's served-key arm refuses a started row when no commit in the merged
range names it as its first
Refs:key. The program being retired carries thecounter-measurement in its own refusal text: only 3% of this repository's
commits carry a closing keyword, because fast-forward landing puts it in the PR
body. Built as specified it would fire on honestly-closed rows — a gate whose
first firing is a false positive, whose exception is what rots. Its other
conjunct, "whose most recent transition was written by the merge automation", is
not computable from a
get_issuepayload at all. Both are recorded on the row.The exit codes invert, deliberately
landed-check.shanswered 1 for a board behind git and 2 for unreadable input.The engine has one table with no per-verb exception — 2 is the policy verdict,
1 and 3 are the only codes a Batten failure produces — so the verb answers
0 / 2 / 1. Any caller branching on the old codes changes meaning.
Keys this PR does not close
DO-NOT-CLOSE CLOUD-1127
DO-NOT-CLOSE CLOUD-186
Neither is complete. The retirement of
mise-tasks/landed-check.shis the restof CLOUD-1127, and its scope is TWO programs rather than one:
mise-tasks/in-progress-drain.shis the only real caller, invokes the program bypath, branches on its exit code and parses its report with a
$-anchored sed.Both break against the successor, and repointing them is not an admitted
shell-retirementaddition — swapping acasearm and re-anchoring a sed arenot a truncation, a repoint, or a dropped name. So it is four
conservesarmsor it is not landable, and that is recorded on the row.
