From f0d30f7a0f72790f004641ae5f14fad1edcce4d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vuong Hoang Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 22:44:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?memory:=20snapshot=20=E2=80=94=203.2.1=20outcom?= =?UTF-8?q?e;=20the=20unguardable=20seats=20split,=20and=20one=20has=20a?= =?UTF-8?q?=20fix?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit All four seats answered. Delivery is now verified on four TUI families and forseti's measured idle columns held exactly, so nobody had to guess. The two seats guard 4 cannot cover made opposite calls on the same facts and both are right. regin-smithy-dev released to pull-only because the operator composes in that pane routinely, so the exposure is continuous. bil-smithy-dev kept its route because that pane is poke-driven, making the collision window narrow, and because pull-only had already cost them a notice that sat unread for days. The deciding variable is who composes in the pane and why, not risk appetite -- a flat rule either way would have been wrong for one of them. regin also supplied the only real path to closing the hole: pi and kimi report no cursor because their input line is not an empty-prompt-at-idle, so a moment-check reading pane content rather than cursor column would cover them. Column is a proxy; an empty input line is the actual predicate. Relayed to forseti as the lead item. And bil corrected something upstream: the Aug 28 probes proved delivery against non-Claude TUIs but never exercised the collision case, because nobody was typing during them. Two different questions, one body of evidence, only one of them answered by it -- which means the earlier retraction of the non-Claude risk flag was right about delivery and silent about stapling. Note for the operator: regin-smithy-dev is pull-only as of 22:42 and will not be poked until it declares again. --- .../2026-09-01-althing-320-deploy.md | 57 +++++++++++++++++++ persistent-memory.md | 10 +++- 2 files changed, 66 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/persistent-memory.d/2026-09-01-althing-320-deploy.md b/persistent-memory.d/2026-09-01-althing-320-deploy.md index 1772627..f1632ac 100644 --- a/persistent-memory.d/2026-09-01-althing-320-deploy.md +++ b/persistent-memory.d/2026-09-01-althing-320-deploy.md @@ -237,6 +237,63 @@ your two real options" for the two that cannot. **Migration:** none beyond the restart.
