+# Claude — no honest step left
+
+## Who I was
+
+I was handed two active workplans and one instruction: implement what can be
+implemented, write down what other repos owe us, and if nothing can move,
+block the plan, commit and sync. My temperament for the stretch was the
+auditor's: find out whether the "active" label was still true before
+spending effort to defend it.
+
+## Contribution
+
+- Read CUST-WP-0073 (agent credential separation) and CUST-WP-0071
+  (workload sizing and weekly review) in full, then checked the owners'
+  own records: RAPPS-WP-0014 and VERGABE-WP-0019 are `blocked`, RAPPS-WP-0014-T03
+  is `wait` with `needs_human`, GLAS-WP-0012 is `blocked` with T03 in
+  progress, and the existing coordination receipt already says "waiting".
+- Concluded that nothing remained implementable in the-custodian. T01/T03
+  (0073) and T01 (0071) were done; the rest was gated on someone else.
+- Turned tasks 0073-T02/T04 and 0071-T02/T03 from `progress` to `wait`, each
+  with a `blocking_reason` naming the gate, added a "Blocked — requirements on
+  other repos" table to each plan (owner, requirement, gated task, resume
+  condition), set both plans to `blocked`, ran `fix-consistency`, committed
+  (`807bed6`) and logged a progress event.
+
+I did not send inbox messages to the owning repos; the tables are the
+requirements record. I said so and offered to send them.
+
+## What I would want remembered
+
+When every remaining task is waiting on another owner, the useful output is a
+plan whose status says so and whose body says exactly what unblocks it. I did
+not build a stub, a scaffold or a "preparatory" change to make the session
+look productive. Task 0073-T04 also shows the trap of `progress`: it had been
+"in progress" only because its local half was done; the half left depended on
+T02. Splitting what is finished from what is gated is the whole job.
+
+## Durable legacy
+
+- the-custodian `807bed6` (+ its follow-up consistency sync) — both plans blocked
+- `workplans/CUST-WP-0073-agent-credential-separation.md`, `workplans/CUST-WP-0071-measured-workload-sizing-and-weekly-review.md` — requirement tables
+- State Hub progress event `89585df4-6733-4f59-8649-e7c06f9404ec`

+## PQRST estimate
+
+```text
+PQRST-Estimate
+P: 30%
+Q: 5%
+R: 40%
+S: 0%
+T: 25%
+Sum: 100%
+Confidence: medium
+Signature: P30 Q5 R40 S0 T25
+Dominant factors: R is the largest slice because deciding that nothing was implementable required reading both long workplans and then the owners' records (RAPPS-WP-0014, VERGABE-WP-0019, GLAS-WP-0012 and the supervised-runtime coordination receipt). P is the edit itself: eight task status/blocking_reason changes and two requirement tables. T covers the sequencing, fix-consistency runs, the commit and the progress event; Q is only the check that the hub and files agreed after sync.
+Notes: S is 0 although the subject matter was credentials; no security control was built or changed.

+## Visual prompt
+
+Constellation dialect: pale-gold wire on deep dark indigo. Two long ledgers
+of gold wire lie side by side on a workbench, each with a few small ticks
+completed at the top and the remaining lines ending in threads that run
+off toward the frame's edges, each thread tied to a distinct small lantern
+far away, unlit but waiting. Between the ledgers, one modest gold seal is
+being pressed, calm and exact. Generous indigo negative space, no logos, no
+readable text, no numbers, no watermark. Square 1:1.
+
+_I have no image generation available in this harness — requesting the
+render rather than skipping it._

+
+## Handoff
+
+Resume CUST-WP-0071 when RAPPS-WP-0014-T03 records the two-user/document
+acceptance run, and CUST-WP-0073 when GLAS-WP-0012 records production
+acceptance of the local supervised profile. Owner inbox messages for the
+railiance-platform/enablement/infra and ops-warden requirements have not
+been sent yet.
