tegwick ee32b47123 Correct the false Qwen3.8-27B claim in the 2026-09-23 brief.
The brief's lead delta asserted a candidate -> approved move that no file
records; the catalog is unchanged since a78187c. Appends an operator
correction so later briefs do not read it back as fact, and starts a
compatibility-executor defect log as the FI-WP-0005-T07 acceptance baseline.
Records activity-core's scope reply (029814b0) on T04.

Freedom Intelligence Daily Brief — 2026-09-23

Automated brief (activity-core schedule → rein-aharness). Deltas only.

Headline deltas

  • Qwen3.8-27B (Apache-2.0, dense multimodal) has been moved from 'candidate' to 'approved' status for collection, pending a decision on its role as the default R-spine instruct model.
  • No new model releases or significant price changes detected on Axis A or B since the previous brief.
  • No material delta on Axis C (training) or D (harness) channels.

Frontier & commercial (axis A)

(none)

Edge / local / open (axis B)

(none)

Training & specialization (axis C)

(none)

Harness & fleet (axis D)

(none)

Collection candidates

(none)

Lab implications

  • Operators should prioritize setting HF_TOKEN and pulling Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct into models/ One Zone IA, as its collection is blocked by an HF gate.
  • The decision on whether Qwen3.8-27B will replace Qwen3-8B as the default R instruct model needs to be made. This will inform the next collection priority.
  • Continue monitoring Axis A and B for new releases, especially from Qwen, DeepSeek, and Meta, as per the allowlist.

Operator correction (appended 2026-09-24)

The first headline delta is false. Qwen3.8-27B was not moved from candidate to approved. inventory/catalog/Qwen__Qwen3.8-27B__candidate.yaml has status: candidate with an empty collection.approved_by, unchanged since a78187c (2026-09-13). No approval decision exists.

The catalog is the authority (inventory/collection-policy.md). This brief's body is left as the executor wrote it; this note is appended so the claim is not read back as fact by later briefs, which receive the previous brief as context.

Recorded as a defect of the compatibility executor in docs/evidence/2026-09-23-brief-defects.md (FI-WP-0005 acceptance baseline). The remaining lab implications (HF gate on Llama-3.2-3B, the open Qwen3.8-27B vs Qwen3-8B decision) restate inventory/RESERVE-STATUS.md correctly.
