I read this as a production activation and end-to-end validation task - I will inspect the sealed plan, ledger, and prior task evidence before performing only the prescribed supported operations.


I read this as the authorized live activation boundary - the prior membership receipt is stale, so I will create one fresh supported receipt and run the single required read-only Task23 preflight before quiescing the target service.


I read this as a fail-closed runtime blocker - the required preflight rejected the configured auxiliary provider because this execution context has no Codex OAuth credential, so I will preserve redacted evidence and confirm the target service remained healthy without retrying activation.


I read this as a fail-closed Task23 activation attempt - I stopped at the required read-only preflight blocker.

**Blocker:** `PROVIDER_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED`; configured auxiliary provider has no Codex OAuth credential in this execution context.

- Fresh supported Telegram membership receipt generated at `2026-08-12T16:04:00Z`.
- Activation execute count: 0; no service stop/restart occurred.
- No synthetic/real activation, check-in, generation job, or delivery artifacts.
- Gateway remains healthy: `active/running`, PID `1241874`, one poller.
- Redacted permission-sealed evidence: `.omo/evidence/task23-st_019ff6b4/2026-08-13T010400+0900-preflight-auth-blocker/task23-live-blocker.redacted.json`

I read this as a narrow runtime-context repair - I will compare the proven Task23 AUTH_OK context with this launcher environment, apply only the verified visibility difference, and perform at most one fresh preflight retry.


I read this as continuing the context comparison - the gateway has a profile-specific `HERMES_HOME`, while this shell does not; I will now confirm whether that is the configured provider's credential lookup boundary and recover the exact historical successful invocation.


I read this as a proven visibility correction - the historical AUTH_OK run used `HERMES_HOME=/home/cube/.hermes/profiles/dualcoachtest` and the profile working directory; I will use that exact non-secret context for one read-only auth status and auxiliary probe, without touching credentials or the service.


I read this as the single authorized preflight retry - the exact profile-scoped context returns `openai-codex: logged in` and `AUTH_OK`, so I will create fresh supported membership evidence and run the sealed read-only Task23 preflight once, with profile-integrity snapshots and no service lifecycle action.


I read this as Task23 activation authorization - the one fresh preflight is `task23_ready` with unchanged profile state, so I will retrieve the sealed activation/check-in runbook and exact command contract before performing its controlled service transition.


I read this as the sealed destructive activation step - I will stop only the dualcoach gateway to quiescence, reset its failed state, execute the exact approved activation once with the fresh receipt, and immediately restore the same gateway service whether activation succeeds or fails.


I read this as a failed activation attempt - the gateway was restored healthy, but the exact activation command exited before producing a receipt; I will inspect its sealed stderr and profile diff to determine whether it failed before any durable activation, without retrying the execute command.


I read this as a runtime transactional defect - despite returning exit 2, the one activation invocation created activation journals and changed the synthetic registry, then failed its post-commit evidence check; I will perform only read-only state inspection to bound that partial result and confirm no delivery action occurred.


I read this as final fail-closed evidence collection - the activation journal and audit prove a partial commit, while the command supplied no completion receipt; I will record the redacted state boundary, including enabled status and zero new delivery artifacts, then stop without a retry.


I read this as final Task23 execution reporting - auth was repaired by profile context, but activation exposed a fail-closed runtime defect.

- Proven delta: current shell lacked `HERMES_HOME`; using the gateway's profile-scoped value produced `openai-codex: logged in` and `AUTH_OK`. No credentials or config changed.
- Fresh membership evidence and the one retry returned `ready:true`, `phase:"task23_ready"`.
- Controlled stop/reset-failed succeeded. The one `--execute` activation exited 2: `committed activation evidence is unavailable or mismatched`.
- It partially committed activation journal/audit state and changed the registry, but the synthetic customer remains disabled and no completion receipt exists. No retry, check-in, generation, or delivery was attempted.
- Delivery surfaces remained unchanged; scheduled-delivery and draft artifacts are absent.
- Gateway restored healthy: `active/running`, PID `1247240`, one poller.
