From 7a6a44e3e61567bc77e69c017cb32641a115578f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: tegwick Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2026 18:45:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Record the 0.2.3 offline retest and the remaining WP-0009 blockers. The default 0.2.1 reproducer still reports WH-KNOW-001 and WH-KNOW-002. The same probes against local emergent-security 0.2.3 do not reproduce them. T03 stays waiting on risk-nexus registration and emergent-security acceptance, and the workplan stays blocked.
