HFACT-WP-0001-T02 repeatedly repairs six of 24 selected task projections after
normal sync. Forge derivation truncates nested evidence and converts explicit
empty intervention notes into null, disagreeing with file-authoritative deep
consistency. Fix the original parser rather than applying another batch patch.

## Reproduce and correct task-field derivation

```task
id: STATE-WP-0090-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "47ecc1ce-ca64-567b-8253-4e2bf72b8aa4"
```

Retain nested task sections, stop at the next peer/ancestor heading or task block,
match source-description cleanup and preserve absent/null/empty metadata meaning.
Keep task identity, status, collision and retirement rules unchanged. Test parity
with the existing consistency parser and real PostgreSQL/API convergence.

## Promote the verified correction and prove the selected chain

```task
id: STATE-WP-0090-T02
status: progress
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "da0089fc-2c6f-52d7-91e9-83ee338caf2a"
```

Run relevant projection/consistency/API regressions, commit/push, consume the
immutable CI image and prepare the existing Helm release with reused values and
atomic rollback. Verify the exact promoted image and healthy primary, then sync
the three selected repositories using RMGR-WP-0017 and read back all 24 task
fields with zero manual task PATCH repairs. Preserve unrelated untracked evidence.

## Retain evidence and close the bounded defect

```task
id: STATE-WP-0090-T03
status: todo
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "ac047cb8-fc56-5a2e-8a82-c5179f8cde8b"
```

Record source/image/Helm revisions, test results and before/after convergence.
HFACT T02 retains other selected-backlog readiness work; native admission and
factory execution remain their existing owner tasks. Do not mark factory G1/G2
complete or introduce another synchronization service.

Validation: all five new parser cases fail on the previous derivation. The
corrected projection/consistency/API suite passes 242 tests on a disposable
PostgreSQL database. Actual selected-source comparison reproduces six drifted
tasks before the fix and zero afterward across 24 tasks. No production data
was used by the tests; live promotion and readback remain T02.

Promotion prepared: Forge commit 0747b4d95b3d30a12c41de673912659e8fdd1654
passed CI. Immutable image main-0747b4d has registry digest
sha256:78828c9e85848538878a27d2e3e6bebfd0cc7192c0961c92c749b27acca7b6f5.
Offline container verification matches the tested parser source and passes nested
section/empty-note cases. Server-side Helm preview permits only image, version
labels and their rendered checksum; configuration and credential references are
unchanged, and there are no migration changes. Previous Helm revision: 60.
