Five inbox items worked, none of which changed a credential value or moved a
secret.
whynot-design-npm-publish: field reverted npm_token -> NPM_AUTH_TOKEN and the
path confirmed, on railiance-platform's attended, read-only, no-value field
enumeration (their docs/evidence/2026-09-10-npm-lane-field-resolution.json).
Exactly one field is present at the governed path. The 2026-09-09 change was
adopted from a coordination message and would have failed at the WP-0037-T03
rotation. The ungoverned second location is recorded as an explicit non-lane,
not deleted and not tidied away.
pep-stance coverage: published figures were stale by eight lanes (unknown
18->20, not_applicable 12->15) while resolved stayed at 3 — the denominator
moved, the classification did not. Caught by the test that asserts the published
block equals what report_coverage.py measures. tests/test_workload_join.py held
the same stale counts; both now measure the same populations.
rapp-qonto-keycape-client: blocker character updated — authority exists and is
unexercised by owner decision ("not yet", offer open), which is not the same as
no authority existing. Reopen triggers are events, never elapsed time.
flex-auth -> access-engine rename (WARDEN-IN-0003): access-engine added to the
policy-check lane's keywords so routing resolves under both names from today.
owner_repo deliberately not flipped — policy.py sends it as resource.system on
every /v1/check, and FLEX-DEC-2026-013 keeps runtime names as flex-auth.
layer declaration: INTENT.md says Staff, layer.yaml says staff, section 11 does
not say which governs. Neither changed; gate-house holds the ruling. Position in
docs/layer-declaration-precedence.md, wait in WARDEN-WP-0034-T06, and a comment
in layer.yaml telling the next session not to "fix" it — the divergence is the
evidence the ruling is made against.

gate-house ruled the v0.8 assent round (GH-DEC-2026-011, net-kingdom@64394e9):
ask 1 declined, ask 2 adopted.
Ask 1's refusal is accepted without reservation and the reason is better than
the ask -- a sanctioned transitional fail_open is indistinguishable at runtime
from the stance the rule forbids, and would make the rule optional at the only
moment it costs anything.
Ask 2 gave §13.1 a Coverage column with this repo's figures as its first
entries. Since we asked for the column, we owe it accuracy:
scripts/report_coverage.py measures both populations from the artifacts the
runtime uses (reusing the workload-join build rather than re-deriving it), and
a test asserts pep-stance.yaml's published block equals what it measures.
A hand-counted number in a register that explicitly does not recompute it
decays silently, and a stale figure beside a marked cell is worse than the
blank the other four rows carry.
pep-stance.yaml marks the unknown cell inline as a declared gap -- assent, the
measured reason for not flipping, the declined ask, WARDEN-WP-0040 as route --
and a second test keeps it marked while it is fail_open, failing when it is
flipped. standard_version stays 0.7 because that is what binds; v0.8 is
proposed, so it gains standard_version_reviewed rather than pre-adopting.
Separately, gate-house corrected GH-DEC-2026-008: the claim/decision digest
comparison it originally required is unimplementable and a fail-closed
consumer obeying it would have denied permanently. We had never copied the
wording, so nothing to unwind -- but everything they have sent about this lane
was living in an inbox thread, a bad home for a correction that only matters
when someone finally wires the consume. Now wiki/ApprovalConsumption.md,
leading with "nothing is wired", carrying the corrected target and the
attribution gap that digest matching does not discharge.

All three v0.4 findings were acted on — §9.1 split into pending/declared-gap and
§5's scope rule adopted as recommended and credited, and §9.6 ruled via the
load-bearing/attributive distinction with ops-warden's `# audit must not block
signing` named as the estate's live example.
Checked the favourable ruling rather than accepting it. §9.6's test is "no
control branches on its presence": the only consumer of audit.jsonl is `warden
activity`, which displays. Nothing gates on a signing record, so the lane is
genuinely attributive. AuditTrail.md now records the ruling instead of the open
question, and states that the trade must be revisited if a control ever gates on
the trail.
CONFORMANCE ACTION. §6.4 obligation 3 requires a stance map "published rather
than held in code", and requires every PEP-shaped consumer to publish one so the
maps can be inventoried — naming ADR-0009 as the reference shape. ops-warden was
not doing it: the map lived in PolicyConfig.failure_modes, a dataclass default.
Not a code comment, but not published either.
pep-stance.yaml publishes it, and the test asserts the published map EQUALS the
shipped default. A published map that may drift from the code is worse than no
map, because it invites reliance it cannot support.
Two findings sent to gate-house, in history/2026-08-29-layer-model-v06-review.md:
§6.4 obligation 1 (no side effect without a decision record) contradicts
obligation 3 and §9.3, with ops-warden's blessed fail-open stance as the
instance; and §6.4 mandates a stance-map inventory in §13 that §13 does not
implement — where ops-warden is currently the only PEP to have published one.
402 tests pass, ruff clean.
