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.
