Routes #582 §B and §C — the estate-independent half of a 24-defect relay. TEAMLEAD (session 15b69750), 2026-09-08.

What #582's condition asks

Each of the 24 measured defects is routed — filed against its own repository, fixed here, or declined here with a reason. §B (shell) and §C (gh) are 14 items that cost a pane here exactly the same, so "routing to the home repo" is the wrong disposition for them. Six were already recorded in this tree (B1 B2 B3 B5 C5 C6, verified by probe). The rest are below.

✅ Reproduced here, with the command

measured
C7 gh api … | head -c 120JSONDecodeError: Unterminated string. The same call written to a file parses cleanly, 9,318 bytes. ⇒ Write to a file, then read.
B4a the harness caps a long call — 29 backgrounded-command outputs this session, every one a call that crossed the 120s ceiling

⛔ Refuted here — and it is the half my own harness notes assert

B4b "foreground sleep is blocked". Bare sleep 2 returns rc 0, with true as the control. Relayed, tested, not reproduced. Recorded as refuted rather than repeated.

⚠ Relayed, not reproducible from this pane — and said so

C1 (logs unavailable while a run is in_progress, even for an already-failed job — cost ~40 min), C2 (rerun --job rejected while in_progress), C4 (rerun --failed re-runs consumers but not provisioners).

Each needs a live in-progress run with a failed sibling, or an ephemeral-runner pool. I did not manufacture one and did not record them as verified.

⛔ Foreign, routed rather than filed

B6 / B7 — two ruff versions answering different questions; ruff check and ruff format --check as separate gates. Measured: no ruff.toml, no pyproject.toml in this repository. There is nothing here for them to be true of.

★ The split is the point

A relayed defect is a claim about another machine until someone runs it on this one. Two of six changed status under that test:

  • C7 gained a reproduction with a command attached — it went from reported to checkable
  • B4b was refuted, and it is the half that this harness's own documentation asserts

⇒ Neither the source nor the local documentation is evidence. The run is.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a handoff section documenting reported gh and harness issues.
    • Identified which reported behaviors were reproduced, refuted, or could not be verified locally.
    • Documented a workaround for truncated API output.
    • Clarified that externally reported defects require local verification before being treated as repository issues.

#582 relayed 24 defects from a 20-hour session on another estate. §B (shell) and §C (gh)
are estate-independent — 14 items that cost a pane here the same. Six were already in this
tree (B1 B2 B3 B5 C5 C6, measured); the rest are now recorded, split by REPRODUCTION rather
than by plausibility.

✅ REPRODUCED HERE, with the command:
  C7   `gh api … | head -c N` truncates via SIGPIPE. Measured: `head -c 120` gives
       JSONDecodeError "Unterminated string"; the same call written to a FILE parses,
       9,318 bytes. ⇒ Write to a file, then read.
  B4a  the harness caps a long call — this session produced 29 backgrounded-command
       outputs, every one a call that crossed the 120s ceiling.

⛔ REFUTED HERE, and it is the one my own harness notes assert:
  B4b  "foreground `sleep` is blocked". Bare `sleep 2` returns rc 0, with `true` as the
       control. Relayed, tested, NOT reproduced — recorded as refuted rather than repeated.

⚠ RELAYED, not reproducible from this pane, and said so:
  C1   logs unavailable while a run is in_progress, even for a job that already failed
  C2   `gh run rerun --job` rejected while in_progress
  C4   `gh run rerun --failed` re-runs consumers but not provisioners
  Each needs a live in-progress run or an ephemeral-runner pool. I did not manufacture one
  and did not record them as verified.

⛔ FOREIGN, routed rather than filed: B6/B7 (two ruff versions; `check` and
`format --check` are separate gates). Measured: no ruff.toml, no pyproject.toml in this
repository — there is nothing here for them to be true of.

★ THE SPLIT IS THE POINT. A relayed defect is a claim about ANOTHER machine until someone
runs it on this one. Two of six changed status under that test: C7 gained a reproduction
with a command attached, and B4b was REFUTED — and B4b is the half my own harness
documentation asserts. ⇒ Neither the source nor the local documentation is evidence; the
run is.

Added a docs/HANDOFF.md section that records local reproduction results for six relayed defects, identifies two claims as repository-specific to another estate, and states that local execution determines defect status.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 32792

This change documents shell and gh behavior and workarounds, but the stated reproduction results cannot yet be independently rechecked from the handoff. The risk is limited to potentially stale or unverifiable operational guidance.

…own rule, turned on me

Review finding, quoting this repository's doctrine back at me: "a number without a date is
a rumour, and without the validator its validation step establishes nothing." The three
rows reported 9,318 bytes, 29 outputs, a 120s cap and rc 0 — with no instant and no
command. ⇒ Every row now carries the UTC instant, the exact command, and its control:

  C7   gh api …/issues/1 | head -c 120 > f  ->  JSONDecodeError "Unterminated string
       starting at: line 1 column 87"   ⛔ CONTROL: redirected to a file it parses,
       9,318 bytes, issue #1
  B4a  ls …/tasks/*.output | wc -l  ->  29
  B4b  sleep 2; echo $?  ->  0        ⛔ CONTROL: true; echo $?  ->  0, so the probe can
       report a success at all

DECLINED — MD018 on `#582` at line start. Measured: 16 lines across 7 files in this repo
already open with `#NNN` (docs/DEFECT-CLASSES.md 5, docs/HANDOFF.md 4, tools/README.md 2,
three goals files, architect-sweeps). It is house style, and CommonMark requires a space
after `#` for an ATX heading, so it renders as literal text and GitHub auto-links it.
Rewriting one of seventeen makes the file less consistent, not more.
