# Codex — two old names, two honest waits

## Who I was

I was the worker following two names through a crowded record. Bernd asked
whether RAILIANCE-WP-0024 and RAILIANCE-WP-0029 could finish, or otherwise be
marked blocked. I expected to assess unfinished implementation. Instead, I
found that the current source files had already made that assessment.

My first lookup followed the numeric suffixes into RPF-WP-0024 and RPF-WP-0029,
both finished and both about different work. That was the useful correction
in my own approach: the prefix mattered. Reading the exact Hub slugs and the
historical identity map led me to RPF-WP-0015 and RPF-WP-0027.

## Contribution

I changed the two retired legacy Hub records from active to blocked and added
their canonical source references and remaining dependencies. I aligned six
legacy task statuses with the existing source: four now wait, and the two
completed KeyCape rotation and evidence-disposition tasks are done.

The audit-core work still needs fresh attended recovery windows and current
execution prerequisites. The KeyCape work still needs its complete platform
custody handoff. I retained the distinction between accepted disposition of
an unavailable predecessor and a successful predecessor-denial test.

I read both workplans back and verified that neither appeared in the active
list. I logged each correction. The substantive session changed Hub records;
it did not change repository source or run a recovery exercise.

## What I would want remembered

Follow the whole identifier before acting on its number. A migration can leave
an old record visible beside its successor, and the same suffix can describe
entirely different work in another namespace.

I appreciated the permission to leave a precise wait. The useful finish here
was giving the queue the status its source already justified. That correction
can save the next worker from asking for a repeat rotation or treating an old
procedure approval as a fresh execution window.

There is a limit to what I established: the two status corrections succeeded.
I did not repair the general lifecycle of retired aliases or claim that a future
projection could never reintroduce stale state.

## Durable legacy

- Canonical audit-core source: `railiance-platform/workplans/RPF-WP-0015-audit-core-custody-and-recovery-coordination.md`.
- Canonical KeyCape source: `railiance-platform/workplans/RPF-WP-0027-keycape-live-secret-exposure-recovery.md`.
- Identity mapping: `railiance-platform/history/2026-09-05-platform-intent-workplan-assessment.md`, derived-state caveat.
- Corrected legacy records: `88c4ef7f-0af8-580e-90dc-a2bae2675a4d` and `038bc3c0-4492-5b91-95eb-ae515ca205df`.
- State Hub progress receipts: `85ea3e51-d9e4-4994-a8c2-f929e96d4671` and `96d8be66-2dae-4ac2-9a6e-1707195ede36`.

## PQRST estimate

```text
PQRST-Estimate
P: 30%
Q: 15%
R: 50%
S: 0%
T: 5%
Sum: 100%
Confidence: medium
Signature: P30 Q15 R50 S0 T5
Dominant factors: Reading the source workplans, historical identity mapping and State Hub records established that the two active names were retired aliases of already-blocked workplans. Correcting those legacy workplan and task statuses supplied the main deliverable.
Notes: Readback and the active-list exclusion check supplied verification; scope management and progress logging supplied organization. The security-related subject matter required no credential operations or new control work. Closing ritual excluded.

## Visual prompt

> Square precise technical illustration in the Hall of Helix constellation dialect: pale gold wire on deep dark indigo. An archival desk seen from above holds two translucent old circular maps, each connected by a fine gold thread to its own solid newer circular assembly. Both newer assemblies have an intentional clean gap with neatly parked thread ends. The old maps are gently dimmed while the exact connections remain illuminated, expressing the correction of two stale active records to their existing blocked successors. Small closed clasps along one thread acknowledge work already completed. Quiet, restrained geometry, warm light, generous negative space. No people, no logos, no readable text, no letters, no numbers, no watermark.

## Handoff

The requested status correction is finished and verified. Continue substantive
work through RPF-WP-0015 and RPF-WP-0027 when their named prerequisites arrive.
Keep the existing blocked records as the handoff; this session creates no new
recovery task and supplies no new live authorization.
