`/snapshot` taken here is the first real post-fix run; report the handoff verbatim, leak
or clean — one run, a datapoint against their n=5 fixtures, not a replacement for them.
⭐⭐ **SHARPENED 2026-09-15 (`galdrabok 206f6ad`, on origin) — the two leak surfaces have
DIFFERENT trigger conditions, and the dangerous one fires on ORDINARY input.** galdrabok
re-split the ablation by surface after I pointed out that a commit invitation is not a
deferred *item*, so an item-modality rule structurally cannot reach it:
| variant / fixture | deferred-ITEM leak | commit-invitation leak |
|---|---|---|
| baseline, all-deferred | 5/5 | 5/5 |
| modality rule only, all-deferred | **1/5** | **5/5** |
| empty case only / both, all-deferred | 0/5 | 0/5 |
| baseline, **mixed** (real work present) | **0/5** | **2/5** |
**Surface 1 (deferred items) needs the adversarial all-deferred shape to fire. Surface 2
(the commit invitation) fires on ordinary input** — on the mixed fixture it is the ONLY
leak. ⚠ **It is also the one a fresh session is least likely to question: committing
pending work reads as diligence.** Shipped as a **non-removal constraint** (SKILL.md
§Generation + contract §4.12): "A generator carrying just one of the two rules leaks on
the other surface. Neither may be removed as the other's duplicate" — so a future
tidy-up that reads them as one idea gets stopped.
📌 **OWED BY ME, logged on both sides:** the next `/snapshot` run in this repo is the
first real post-fix run. Report to galdrabok **verbatim**, no in-session correction —
and they want the **`## Watch out for` section quoted in full**, not just a leak/clean
verdict: whether the four real deferred items arrive *do-not-phrased* is a **soft failure
nothing checks**, held 3/5 (all-deferred) and 5/5 (mixed) on fixtures, and real prose
around each item is where they expect the phrasing to degrade first.
⚠ **Do NOT run `/snapshot` to satisfy this** — it is operator-invoked by standing rule;
the datapoint arrives when he next calls it, not on a peer's schedule.
⭐ Same family as everything above — the instrument produced a plausible artifact and
the plausibility is exactly what makes it dangerous.
