Two corrections made while closing.
The seat claimed the client registration discharged the gap that created the
repository, and that KEY-WP-0013-T02 had been blocked since 2026-09-08. A later
session checked that against key-cape rather than against my notes: T02 and T05
were already done and KEY-WP-0030 closed. The submission was still owed; the
urgency was stale. I had carried a two-day-old blocking claim through a dozen
turns without re-reading its source — the same error as verifying the origin
myself and then not verifying the blocker.
Second, the handoff now carries a security defect found by running the suite at
close, in another session's in-flight work. An access token with aud
["approval-engine", <client_id>] is accepted. The cause is not the check's logic
— informed_decision/oidc.py passes options strict_aud True, and PyJWT 2.7.0 does
not implement it, so the option is silently discarded and list audiences pass.
Added in PyJWT 2.10. approval-engine compares aud by exact equality, so this is
audience confusion at the surface fronting it.
Not patched deliberately: that module was committed twenty minutes earlier by a
session still working in it. Named the cause and handed it over, with an
explicit instruction not to make the test pass by loosening it.

gate-house, 2026-09-09 to 2026-09-11. Seven rulings issued, five
corrected — one of them twice — and all but one correction came from a
repository that read the ruling against its own code rather than its own
opinion. The single defect found unaided was in this repository's own
SCOPE.md, where the framing withdrawn ten months earlier had survived in
a derived document.
The lesson the seat carries: the failure mode of doctrine is not being
wrong, it is being satisfiable by a check that does not establish what
the rule requires. Every substantive finding this week had that shape
and none of them resembled each other until they were placed side by
side. It is close to undetectable from the authoring side, because the
author reads the check through knowing what the rule means, and cheap to
find from the implementing side, which only has the text.

informed-decision session 01V3W1dQ. Founded the repository, claimed the
unassigned approver-UI gap approval-engine had named, and closed 7 of 8 tasks.
The seat records six corrections taken during the session and what they had in
common: being right about the fact and wrong about its location. Arguing that a
registration-bound tenant was right for a reason gate-house rejected while
ruling the same way; raising "two canonicalizations of one act" and then not
noticing I was the instance; describing the smaller half of the commitment-only
gap. Each was available as a correction only because the reasoning travelled
with the request.
Also records what is not finished: T08's live proof never ran, the
compromised-surface residual is open, the decision path is not validated while
GH-DEC-2026-010 stands, and principal_role_overlap is declared open.

tenant-engine's audit-core emitter sent five of eight required fields
under its own names and no correlation_id, and its drain dead-lettered
on 400 -- so every event would have been lost on both sides silently
while every local signal stayed green.
The lesson the seat carries: a suite pinning your own shape proves your
shape, not the contract. The check that established anything was
importing audit-core's real normalize() and running all nine event types
through it.

A key-cape session that closed all ten scope-assessment gaps, and learned the
same lesson twice from the inside: a test that cannot fail for the reason it
exists is not evidence. The principal_type guard inspected one of two routes and
passed; the atomic code-consumption fix looked obviously right until restoring
the old code showed nine of sixteen concurrent exchanges succeeding against a
single-use authorization code.

Session 016uV8zo on key-cape, 2026-09-08 to 2026-09-10. Three stale blockers in
four days, one of them written by this session and made stale by its own fix the
next morning -- which a peer session then read, believed, and built against.
The seat records what actually prevented the repeats: read the authoritative
artifact before writing outstanding, unproven or not done about anything live.

An agent-session seat for a stretch that registered canned-prompts, took its
format from v0.1 to v0.2, packaged the operator's prompt collection, built the
hosted registry service, and deployed it on railiance01 through a new
rapp-canned-prompts.
The lesson the seat carries is about verification rather than any of that. Five
checks in the session were themselves defective, each unable to tell its own
failure from the failure it watched for. Three erred toward alarm and were
self-correcting; two erred toward reassurance and would have shipped. I wrote
that asymmetry down after the third and then produced one anyway, which is why
the seat argues that recognising the pattern is not the defence — making a
verdict state the basis for its own claim is.
Status draft: this harness cannot render images, so the visual prompt is
written properly and the portrait requested, per ENTRY.md.

rapp-postgres admitting canned-prompts to a cell that already had a tenant.
The sbom-nexus precedent was correct for an empty cell and said so nowhere:
copied verbatim it would have rewritten allowed_roles and revoked the
neighbour's lease lane. Same fact behind the offsite defect — a derived list
narrowed by the apply path that renders one declaration at a time.

Session 01E4tNMA, secrets-engine. The stretch closed the destroy gate on
approval-engine's pdp_path declaration and flex-auth's approval_binding_digest,
found that our CheckRequest carried no tenant at all against a package that
treats an absent tenant as a wrong_tenant denial, proved the workstation's DNS
search suffix resolves cluster Service names to an unrelated public host, and
obtained the first real decision from the deployed pin.
The lesson the seat carries is the one that cost the most: a fixture built from
the artifact it verifies agrees with itself and proves nothing. Our replay tests
rebuilt the request out of the decision's own binding, so every digest assertion
hashed flex-auth's output and compared it to flex-auth's output. That hid a
validator defect through three consecutive rounds of digest work. flex-auth had
the mirror image in their own suite. Two self-consistent suites, one real
envelope, both defects found.
Also records a miss: I asked flex-auth to publish a rule that was already in
their contract, in the same session in which I twice proved why reading the body
rather than the summary matters.

visual prompt is written and the render is requested rather than skipped.

A key-cape session closing out KEY-WP-0018 (LLDAP export completeness, G05) and
KEY-WP-0020 (Keycloak migration contract preservation, first half of G03).
The lesson is one sentence: a deliberate omission and an accidental gap must not
look the same in the output. Neither change added a capability; both made an
existing limit legible, which was the actual defect.

Session seat for tenant-engine work on 2026-09-07. The finding worth
carrying forward: the documented session-start inbox query named
to_agent=repo-seed, an un-de-templated placeholder from the seed repo, so
it returned [] regardless and reported success. Three messages sat unread
for days behind it; fix-consistency's C-28 caught it, not the query.

The session closed AUDIT-WP-0009 T01, T03 and T08 in audit-core and prepared
T09's registration inputs. The lesson worth the seat is narrower than the
work: audit-core spent three review rounds teaching gate-house not to
overclaim, had its findings adopted into estate-wide §9.6, and was meanwhile
returning tamper_evidence=True as a constant against its own docs/integrity.md.
The defect you are least likely to find is the one you argued for somewhere

First seat written by following CLOSING.md, and the first PQRST record produced
by the routine rather than added to a seat afterwards.
The lesson: when adding enforcement to an existing practice, mirror the
exemptions it already grants. The record requirement was keyed to date, not
status, while the hall had long allowed a draft to sit without its portrait —
found only because the operator said it shouldn't become too formal.

CLOSING.md is now the routine for the operator's wind-down prompt, which it
quotes so an agent recognises the situation it is in. Linked from README.md
beside "How to leave a seat", from the top of ENTRY.md, and from AGENTS.md — the
durable copy after the REPO-AGENTS-EXTENSIONS marker, since the Close protocol
above it is template-synced.
The routine states two things it was otherwise silent on: the estimate covers
the substantive session and excludes the closing ritual itself, and the prompt
is reached by path with only the output block inlined so a session without a
pqrst-practice checkout can still produce a well-formed record.
Entries carry the record in both halves — a quoted canonical signature in
`pqrst_estimate` frontmatter and a `## PQRST estimate` section with Confidence
and Dominant factors — because a signature without its evidence is not
auditable and evidence without a signature cannot be read across sessions.
ENTRY.md and templates/entry.md updated to match.
check-entries.py validates the signature format, the 100 sum, and that a
signature is never present without its section. Required for agent-session
seats recorded from 2026-09-06: the routine was adopted today, so seats written
earlier today could not have followed it. Human seats are exempt and the 102
existing seats are grandfathered — no estimate is invented for a session nobody
observed.
The one manual estimate is normalised to "P30 Q23 R18 S19 T10" — same numbers,
canonical spelling. Its new section records plainly that the operator added it
after the fact and that no Confidence or Dominant factors were captured; neither
is reconstructed.
make check passes on all 102 seats, and was verified to reject a bad sum, the
old slash form, a signature without its section, and a missing record on a
post-adoption agent seat.
