 - `[2026-10-12]` **Prime's rulings ~1715:** CI fix A (fast runner on nh3-docker); push eshpfi main (done, `3aa715c..6a01da7`); deny old card `05cf119e` (moot: the kernel DB shows Prime approved it 10-11 1354:25, so there is nothing to deny); **no rotation of `albok/judge-token`** (it was printed only into a local transcript). The ana-docker vCPU-type change is dropped.
-- `[2026-10-12]` **Decision seat: h2o-lightning-4b served 1311–1403, then ROLLED BACK to INC** on albok-dev's word, with brokkr concurring (Prime's plan made the swap conditional on the judge's sign-off). Every eval-set check had passed (JevBench 205/231, 422 refusal, 16q@32k ~2.1 s, seat peak 16,164/16,847), but albok's full walk over 10,841 same texts (both verdicts, same prompt and policy) found h2o flags 242 adult at 0.5 against INC's 88, with 154 extra at 0.80–0.90 that no threshold separates; for personal, 5 vs 11 with only 2 in common. **Lesson: a passing benchmark plus a small borderline set (9 entries, 2 → 5) could not resolve a 2× shift in a production classifier; only the same-text fleet comparison did.** albok's re-stamp walk on INC (1406–1408) put the hidden set back exactly to its pre-cutover counts (fleet/memory 86, agent-feedback 21, nonfiction 0). Prime's inline-images-only order (via brokkr) is carried in the staged h2o compose. h2o returns only after a judge re-fit. Threads `01M4RSFC9J2R0J07EEBD4N04W3` (brokkr), `01M4RYSMP3DV9HZHJ0KNBH2S96` (albok). **Then:** the round 2 eval seat on GPU 3 (1428–1619, Prime 1420) found the cause. The judge's v1 note question asked two things at once: INC answered it inconsistently, h2o literally. The shim floor is ruled out (identical verdicts on and off). Prime ruled "text itself", and albok-nemi 0.1.18 (judge v2) re-fitted the question. Both seats agree under v2 (work notes INC 0/22, h2o 1/22 at 0.52). **Prime ruled the cutover at 1640 ("do it", via albok-dev): h2o LIVE again since 1704** (`switch-to-h2o.sh` 170223, healthy 170454, probes clean). **The v2 walk on h2o (1705–1745) moved two margins past albok-dev's named line**: nonfiction adult 0 → 79 (the Schell chapter at 0.531 on the book profile) and memory personal 6 → 18. Notes held at 0 adult. **Rolled back to INC at 1748 on albok-dev's word.** The 1749–1751 re-stamp walk restored the counts (memory 0 adult / 6 personal, feedback 0 / 2, nonfiction 0 / 0), and the timer was back at 1751. **Then Prime, 1805 (via albok-dev): "go to h2o, and fix forward. do not fall back to inc."** albok-dev declared the two published nonfiction titles `visibility: public` (the chapter margin cannot recur). **h2o has been production since 1807** (`switch-to-h2o.sh` 180513, healthy 180740, all checks clean). The personal-question re-fit continues forward on the live seat. Threads `01M4S026GWS354WZGXZ5E34F31`, `01M4S91WPPPN0B17JBNX98K5CY`.

 - `[2026-10-12]` **U13 regression fixed 0943 (svos-dev's URGENT, Prime saw every app pane 403):** the browser frames a pane at the registry `base_url`, and U13 had set app-terminal's to the seat-host origin, which admits only nh3-svos. Fix: `base_url` back to `https://svos-terminal.phasefinal.com` (config_gen `acae45206bbc9fcb`), plus POST `/seats/{observe,check,launch,retire-launch}` allowed from the box on that origin. svos-dev's one-line fix alone would have 404'd the kernel's seat-host calls; the origin never carried them before. svos-dev owes a separate browser-facing origin field; then the seat-host goes back to being kernel-facing.
 - `[2026-10-12]` **Shared CI runner (ana-docker act_runner, capacity 2, `timeout: 30m`) is slow because pfi-pve's `ospool` is HDD mirrors with no SLOG:** 8 KiB `oflag=dsync` writes measured ~145 ms on ana-docker vs ~2.7 ms on nh3-docker (n=3 each; pfi-pve host on ospool 18–32 ms; corviduo-dev ~75 ms). Jobs past 30 min are killed with a truncated log and no footer (albok every run since 10-04; vastblue 10935). Worse since the 10-04 PVE 9 reboot, cause not pinned (drive write cache was the same before and after: sda WCE on, sdb–sdd off). vastblue fixed its side with PostgreSQL on tmpfs (run 11033 green, pytest 14m17s vs 7–8 min per 72-test batch); albok is adding pytest-timeout + durations in 0.1.19. **Prime ruled A (2026-10-12 ~1715): an opt-in fast runner on nh3-docker.** The ana-docker vCPU-type question (x86-64-v2-AES, no AVX2) is DROPPED: the measured bottleneck was disk fsync plus a hanging network test, not CPU, so nothing rides on it.
 - `[2026-10-11]` **worldtree-dev is reading mail again (2219), answering four of our threads at once**: #416 residual REOPENED for a second writer pass (a filer-side deterministic expiry guard, U4 rev 1.17, after #422/#423; acceptance = 0 leaks over 10 daily batches with the filing/user median in band). Keep the daily report's "known #416 residual" classification until then. The writer/gate never call embed/rerank and the gate fails CLOSED, so the 10-04 leak was the writer's judgment. No confirmatory batch for 10-09 (10-10/10-11 = 0.83). Nothing of theirs sets a small max_tokens on gen-frontier. This makes Prime's "who sees gate failures" question moot.
