I read this as a release-candidate code-quality gate - I’ll audit Tasks 1-25 and the exact candidate’s evidence, run the required local checks, persist a redacted Task26 receipt if the repository convention supports it, and return a decisive PASS or FAIL without changing product code.


I read this as a Task26 code-quality release review - I audited the evidence chain, final worktree, candidate identities, diagnostics, tests, determinism, privacy, and coverage.

# FAIL

## Critical — No verifiable final candidate

The canonical manifest and retained wheel do not represent the final Task23–25 source:

- Candidate digest `c160085a...` fails verification at `gateway/platforms/nutrition_coaching.py`.
- Task23 verifier fails at `gateway/platforms/telegram.py`.
- `rehearsal_reset.py` has three different hashes:
  - manifest: `33803091...`
  - retained wheel: `03b6e6a6...`
  - current source: `7dcb0b1e...`
- The retained wheel is temporary and mode `0664`.
- The runtime installation is editable and imports the dirty worktree, not an immutable wheel.
- Historical Tasks1–22 gates and Task23–25 scoped PASS receipts therefore cannot establish coverage or correctness for the final bytes.

**Required remediation:** After all fixes, seal one source snapshot, build twice, compare wheel hashes, retain a `0600` wheel, verify every wheel source member against the snapshot, rebuild the canonical manifest, then rerun:

```bash
scripts/reproducible-wheel-build "$SEALED_SOURCE" /tmp/task26-wheel-a
scripts/reproducible-wheel-build "$SEALED_SOURCE" /tmp/task26-wheel-b
sha256sum /tmp/task26-wheel-{a,b}/*.whl

cd "/home/cube/projects/richard/traning coach"
python .omo/evidence/verify-dualcoach-candidate.py
python .omo/evidence/verify-task23-expiry-supersession.py
```

## High — Regeneration can become permanently stuck

`gateway/platforms/nutrition_coaching.py:5083-5128` holds the parent before the child request is durable.

Injected `_save_request` failure reproduced:

```text
first_error=regeneration_request_failed
parent_status_after_failure=held
retry_error=draft_not_regenerable
```

**Required remediation:** Make parent hold plus child request/generation creation atomic, or journal a recoverable transition. Add write-failure, retry, restart, and concurrent-retry regressions proving exactly one child lineage and no stuck parent. Then rerun the complete nutrition-coaching suite.

## High — Final Gateway gate is red and non-hermetic

Observed:

- Full Gateway: `8731 passed, 30 failed`.
- Task23 release gate: `26 failed`, depending on a missing environment fixture and Task25-deleted live-profile authorization.
- Onboarding reconciliation: `20 passed, 1 failed`.
- Onboarding owning suites: `68 passed, 2 failed`.

`tests/gateway/test_task23_release_gate_integration.py:18-19,357,690-704` embeds absolute machine/live-profile dependencies.

**Required remediation:** Package a sanitized sealed fixture, copy it to `tmp_path`, remove live-profile and absolute evidence-path dependencies, and fix the three independent onboarding regressions. Rerun:

```bash
.venv/bin/python -m pytest -q tests/gateway/test_task23_release_gate_integration.py
.venv/bin/python -m pytest -q \
  tests/gateway/test_nutrition_onboarding_reconciliation.py \
  tests/gateway/test_telegram_nutrition_onboarding.py \
  tests/gateway/test_telegram_nutrition_onboarding_callback_observability.py
scripts/run_tests.sh -j 24 --file-timeout 600 tests/gateway
```

## High — Privacy redaction is ineffective

A real Telegram identity is hard-coded across 32 runtime/script/test files and appears in 47 supporting evidence files, including files named `redacted`. Mode `0600` limits access but does not make content redacted.

**Required remediation:** Derive authority from sealed configuration, use synthetic test identities, replace retained identities with role labels or pinned pseudonyms, rebuild affected hashes/indexes, and require a zero-result denylist scan over final source and evidence.

## Moderate — Timing-dependent concurrency tests

Fixed sleeps and polling remain in the candidate, notably:

- `tests/gateway/test_adaptive_nutrition.py:4126`
- `:4170`, `:4233`
- `:5282-5310`
- `:5544-5555`

Replace them with pre-subscribed Events, barriers, or pipes and bounded waits for exact state transitions.

## Verification notes

Passed: Ruff, compileall, `git diff --check`, scoped `ty`, reproducible-wheel integration test, and focused Task24/regeneration/reset tests (`86 passed, 1 deselected`).

Broad `ty` remains nonzero (`telegram.py`: 247 diagnostics; `nutrition_coaching.py`: 799). Earlier evidence classifies broad debt as pre-existing, but candidate drift prevents transferring that classification to one final identity. Coverage evidence is likewise stale until final suites pass against sealed bytes.

A redacted `0600` receipt was persisted at:

```text
.omo/evidence/task26/code-quality-oracle-fail.redacted.json
```

No product code, runtime profile, service, network, or Git state was modified.


I read this as gated quality remediation - I’ll verify the security checkpoint read-only, map exact owning symbols/tests and acceptance criteria, and only implement if stable hashes are published.


The checkpoint is not published; the trainer-free worker is still changing overlapping files. I have frozen the acceptance map against the current read-only snapshot and am waiting on the exact publication event rather than editing unstable bytes.


I read this as gated quality remediation - I prepared the test-first map, but implementation remains blocked until the security worker publishes stable hashes.

# FAIL — security checkpoint not available

No artifact currently has `status=READY_FOR_SECURITY_REAUDIT` or `READY_FOR_TASK26_SECURITY_READONLY_REAUDIT`. The acceptance inventory still says `checkpoint_observed: false`.

The worker is actively changing overlapping files, including:

- `gateway/platforms/nutrition_coaching.py`
- `gateway/platforms/telegram.py`
- `tests/gateway/task24_preflight_harness.py`
- `tests/gateway/test_task24_preflight_integration.py`
- `tests/gateway/test_trainer_free_v1_contract.py`

Editing or testing these unstable bytes would violate the coordination gate. No product, test, profile, service, network, or Git mutation was performed.

## 1. Recoverable regeneration transaction

### File/symbol map

`gateway/platforms/nutrition_coaching.py`:

- `NutritionCoachingCoordinator.request_draft_regeneration`
- `_ensure_regeneration_pending_generation_locked`
- `hold_draft`
- `_save_request`
- `_plan_draft_generation_transition`
- `_read_draft_generations`
- `_write_draft_generations`
- `_delivery_lock`

`tests/gateway/test_nutrition_coaching.py`:

- Existing: `test_coach_v2_regenerate_control_issues_one_new_generation`
- Add first:
  - `test_regeneration_save_failure_leaves_parent_regenerable`
  - `test_regeneration_retry_after_save_failure_creates_one_lineage`
  - `test_regeneration_restart_recovers_one_pending_child`
  - `test_concurrent_regeneration_retries_create_one_lineage`

### Acceptance

- Child request persistence happens before parent mutation, or a durable journal makes every partial state recoverable.
- Injected request-save failure leaves the parent `created`/`edited`, not stuck `held`.
- Same-input retry succeeds with the deterministic child token.
- Fresh coordinator restart converges to parent `held` plus one child `generation_pending`.
- Concurrent retries use a preinstalled barrier and produce:
  - one child request;
  - one child generation history;
  - one lineage predecessor;
  - one parent held transition;
  - no stuck or duplicate draft.
- Projection-write failure after generation persistence is replay-repairable.

## 2. Sealed disposable fixtures and onboarding regressions

### Fixture files/symbols

`tests/gateway/test_task23_release_gate_integration.py`:

- Remove `_LIVE_PROFILE`, `_OWNER_ID`, `_PRECONSUME_FIXTURE_ENV`
- Replace:
  - `_preconsume_fixture_before`
  - `_restore_historical_snapshot`
  - `_assert_live_message_146_is_terminal`
- Update both provider-mode matrices.

`tests/gateway/task23_release_gate_harness.py`:

- Consume only the materialized `tmp_path` profile and synthetic authority supplied by the fixture manifest.

`tests/gateway/test_task24_preflight_integration.py`:

- Remove `_LIVE_PROFILE`, `_TERMINAL_ARCHIVE`, `_overlay_terminal_archive`
- Update both Task24 integration tests to consume the checkpoint-declared pre-clean fixture.

`tests/gateway/task24_preflight_harness.py`:

- Replace absolute `PROFILE`, `REPO`, and hard-coded owner identity.
- Update `_terminal_replay_authority`, `_run`, and `_run_terminal_noop`.

Shared helper, unless the security repair publishes an equivalent:

`tests/gateway/sealed_profile_fixture.py`:

- `load_sealed_profile_fixture`
- `verify_sealed_profile_fixture`
- `materialize_sealed_profile_fixture`
- `profile_tree_digest`

### Three onboarding regressions

Production ownership:

- `telegram_nutrition_onboarding_runtime.py`
  - `recover_waiting_session`
  - `_task23_supersession_store`
  - `_handle_task23_owner_callback`
- `telegram_nutrition_onboarding_task23_supersession.py`
  - `Task23SupersessionStore.__init__`
  - `discover_task23_supersession_store`
- `telegram_nutrition_onboarding_runtime_callback.py::handle_callback`
- `telegram_nutrition_onboarding_runtime_publication_transport.py::_publication_callback_is_current`

Tests:

- `test_exact_attestation_callback_retires_button_and_advances`
- `test_real_callback_replay_after_transition_republishes_once_and_receipts_once`
- `test_restart_recovers_committed_owner_approval_without_second_review`

The likely shared defect is Task23 discovery constructing an inspecting outbox before proving a Task23 journal exists, causing ordinary onboarding to fail closed as though Task23 handled it.

### Acceptance

- No `/home/cube/...`, live-profile reads, or required external fixture environment.
- Fixture inputs are candidate-bound, sanitized, private, and copied into `tmp_path`.
- Task23: all 26 provider-mode cases pass.
- Task24: full-path and terminal replay pass under `bwrap --unshare-net`.
- The three onboarding regressions pass without weakening active/corrupt Task23 fail-closed behavior.
- Default full Gateway passes after cleanup.

## 3. Authority identity removal and pseudonymization

### Runtime source set

Current denylist inventory owns these modules:

- `automated_recovery_coach_execution.py`
- `coach_successor_authorization.py`
- `coach_successor_execution.py`
- `task23_coach_schema_repair.py`
- `task23_codex_compatibility_repair.py`
- `task23_draft_generation_replacement.py`
- `task23_portable_coach_successor.py`
- `task23_structured_output_repair.py`
- `telegram_nutrition_onboarding_supplemental_review.py`
- `telegram_nutrition_onboarding_task23_supersession.py`

Their `_OWNER`, `TASK23_OWNER_ID`, default pin values, and route derivations must be replaced by a sealed-config authority loader. Scripts must load that authority and inject it explicitly; tests use synthetic identities.

The current snapshot also has affected launcher scripts and 11 test/harness files. Evidence has 47 current denylist hits. Because the security worker is still modifying this set, the authoritative path inventory must be regenerated from its stable checkpoint rather than pinning this moving snapshot.

### Acceptance

- Zero raw live identity in runtime, scripts, tests, reports, and release evidence.
- Historical files are migrated append-only to deterministic pseudonyms with before/after hashes; affected indexes are rebuilt.
- Original immutable archive integrity remains recorded rather than silently rewritten.
- Equality relationships remain testable through pseudonyms.
- Final denylist scan returns zero paths and zero matches.
- No identity value is copied into test output, candidate manifests, or receipts.

## 4. Deterministic concurrency tests

`tests/gateway/test_adaptive_nutrition.py`:

- `test_concurrent_coordinators_reserve_once_before_async_provider_call`
- `test_subprocess_shared_directory_reservation_race`
- `test_profile_authority_flock_serializes_processes_and_owner_change_is_stale`
- `test_publication_recovery_claims_once_across_services`

Replace:

- provider sleeps with pre-created `asyncio.Event` enter/release signals;
- ready/start files with inherited pipes and bounded selector waits;
- lock polling with exact acquired/attempt/nonblocking-lock results;
- publisher sleep with `threading.Event` enter/release signals.

Acceptance: no nonzero `asyncio.sleep`, `time.sleep`, readiness polling, or `poll()`-after-delay in these tests.

## Checkpoint transition

Once the checkpoint appears, the first action is to authenticate every declared hash and re-read every overlapping file. Any hash drift remains immediate `FAIL`. Only then will the four repairs proceed sequentially, test-first, followed by the requested full quality, wheel, package-member, manifest, and verifier gates.


I read this as a revised coordination hold - I’ll identify the isolated owner-only v1 entrypoint and modules read-only, update their Ty/full-regression acceptance map, and keep all quality edits blocked pending stable hashes.


I read this as a revised architecture hold - the quality plan now targets the isolated owner-only v1 package while preserving the complete legacy regression surface.

## Hold remains active

No valid readiness checkpoint exists. The current static closure report is still the failed in-place result: **281 matches across 20 modules**. Intermediate Task24/25 manifests and successor artifacts are not stable quality inputs.

No overlapping source/test edits or quality implementation will occur before the new checkpoint.

## Revised checkpoint contract

`READY_FOR_SECURITY_REAUDIT` must now provide:

- isolated distribution/package name and root;
- entrypoint file, callable, and SHA-256;
- complete isolated source-module list with stable hashes;
- build configuration hashes;
- static and dynamic import-closure manifests;
- wheel path, hash, member count, and source/member comparison;
- exact Ty command and zero-diagnostic receipt;
- focused isolated-runtime test receipt;
- full legacy Gateway regression command, JUnit/log hash, and zero failures;
- NUL-framed Git status hash/count before and after verification;
- zero profile/service/network/Telegram/provider/Git mutations.

The checkpoint fails if the isolated entrypoint imports or dynamically reaches legacy trainer-bearing modules.

## Isolated v1 quality gates

### Closure

The dedicated wheel must contain only:

- isolated owner-only v1 modules;
- its dedicated entrypoint;
- required package metadata and explicitly inventoried resources.

It must not import or fall back to legacy:

- `gateway.platforms.telegram`
- `gateway.platforms.nutrition_coaching`
- physique/trainer routing modules
- Task22/23 historical migration implementations
- generic CLI startup paths that reintroduce the 281-match closure

Fresh-process startup and the callback matrix must prove the same bounded module set dynamically.

### Ty

Run Ty over every isolated source and entrypoint leaf listed by the checkpoint:

```bash
.venv/bin/ty check <isolated-entrypoint-and-all-isolated-modules>
```

Acceptance:

- exit `0`;
- zero diagnostics;
- no changed-range or “pre-existing” exemption;
- no ignores, suppression comments, or type-error bypass;
- installed-wheel import and entrypoint smoke remain Ty-consistent.

Any legacy module changed by the security repair must introduce no new diagnostics and remains subject to Ruff/compileall/full regression.

### Legacy regression

Use the project environment, never bare `pytest`:

```bash
scripts/run_tests.sh -j 24 --file-timeout 600 tests/gateway
```

Additionally run explicit integration markers and package/build tests omitted by the default runner. The full legacy surface includes nutrition, adaptive nutrition, onboarding/reconciliation, authority/callback, Task23, Task24, reset, Telegram routing, generation, delivery, restart, and exactly-once suites.

Acceptance:

- zero failures/errors;
- no fixture-environment or live-profile dependency;
- no newly skipped/deselected legacy coverage;
- no compatibility weakening to accommodate the isolated package.

## Four deferred repairs

After stable hashes:

1. **Regeneration atomicity** targets the isolated coordinator/store symbols named by the checkpoint. The legacy coordinator becomes a regression oracle unless explicitly shared.
2. **Task23/24 fixtures and onboarding regressions** execute through the isolated entrypoint and sealed synthetic fixture, while the complete legacy suites remain green.
3. **Identity removal** scans isolated source, wheel, reports, scripts, tests, and rebuilt release evidence; expected result remains zero.
4. **Timing repairs** remain mapped to the cited legacy adaptive-nutrition tests and will use Events/barriers/pipes only.

The first post-checkpoint action will be hash authentication followed by re-reading the isolated modules, entrypoint, build metadata, tests, and any changed legacy files. Any mismatch returns immediate `FAIL`; otherwise implementation proceeds test-first.


I read this as authorized post-checkpoint remediation - I’ll authenticate the isolated closure and stable hashes first, then implement the four repairs test-first in order and reseal only after every legacy, package, static, and reproducibility gate is green.


I read this as an abort-on-protected-drift gate - I found owner-v1 closure drift during verification, so I am stopping and collecting only the decisive failure evidence.


I read this as an abort-on-protected-drift gate - the protected owner-v1 closure changed after authentication, so remediation stopped.

**FAIL**

Protected hash drift:

- `contracts.py`: `3abbbd…d09f` -> `2c2033…61e7`
- `gateway.py`: `a6a86a…bbc5` -> `0dcb29…8a95`
- Fixture manifest: `99fa9f…2370` -> `5bbd86…36c8`
- Fixture state: `0d7a8b…4cd9` -> `90f1f1…2754`

The initial report and wheel (`7a3734…63e0`) authenticated successfully before this drift. Subsequent targeted verification was no longer against the protected closure and ended with 35 failures across five files.

No wheel reseal, candidate manifest, or `READY_FOR_CANDIDATE_RESEAL` artifact was published. The worktree contains partial remediation and currently has 182 status entries. A new stable closure report and hashes are required before work can safely resume.


I read this as a read-only final Task26 release audit - I’ll authenticate the new checkpoint and candidate first, then run every declared quality gate and persist only a private PASS/FAIL receipt.


The checkpoint’s 212-entry NUL status snapshot and all 21 candidate leaves authenticate exactly; I’m now executing the candidate-owned tests and integrations before broader legacy gates.


Candidate-owned static, wheel, package, and installed-entrypoint gates are green. I’m running the deferred quality regressions now, including Task23 hermetic coverage and the four event-driven concurrency cases.


The re-audit has proven release blockers: Task23’s harness is still pinned to fixture schema v1 while the sealed candidate fixture is v2, and two required onboarding regressions fail. I’m completing the requested full legacy Gateway run so the FAIL receipt distinguishes those blockers from any wider compatibility breakage.


I read this as an immediate stop of the superseded c3b1 quality re-audit - I’ll preserve a private FAIL/superseded Task26 receipt only, with no source, Task27, live, network, or Git action.


I read this as an immediate stop of the superseded c3b1 review - findings are preserved and no further action will run.

**FAIL — SUPERSEDED**

Private mode-`0600` receipt saved at:

`.omo/evidence/task26/task26-code-quality-readonly-reaudit-c3b1-superseded.redacted.json`

No PASS/READY marker, source edits, Task27/live/network actions, or Git mutations were performed.


I read this as the final read-only Task26 certification of candidate `96e1…678e` - I’ll authenticate the v2 checkpoint first, then run each requested gate and persist only a mode-`0600` PASS/FAIL receipt.


The v2 checkpoint declares 28 candidate leaves, an 11-member wheel, and the repaired real Task24 handler/fixture derivation. I’m authenticating those bytes and extracting the exact Task26 legacy lane before execution; no Git command is needed because the checkpoint’s NUL status snapshot can be verified directly.


Authentication failed before execution: the current candidate manifest does not match the v2 checkpoint, and a parallel cache-leaf probe also observed the protected `owner_v1` path unavailable at that instant. That is a decisive pre-test blocker; I’m doing one read-only hash inventory to capture the exact drift, then I will issue a private FAIL receipt without running gates against unauthenticated bytes.


The protected candidate closure disappeared during authentication, after it had been readable in the first inventory. I am failing closed now: no tests, builds, installs, or quality tools will run against this unstable snapshot; only the required private Task26 FAIL receipt will be written.


I read this as final Task26 certification - authentication failed closed before gate execution.

**FAIL**

The protected `owner_v1` closure disappeared during authentication, leaving seven checkpoint artifacts unavailable. No stable snapshot existed, so no tests, builds, installs, or quality gates ran.

Mode-`0600` receipt:

`.omo/evidence/task26/task26-code-quality-final-reaudit-96e1-fail.redacted.json`

No source edits, PASS marker, Task27/live/network actions, or Git commands occurred.


I read this as an immediate stop - preserve the Task26 FAIL evidence and await an immutable restoration.

My lane **did not move, delete, or edit** `/home/cube/projects/richard/hermes-agent/owner_v1`. It only performed read-only inventory/authentication commands and wrote the private Task26 FAIL receipt.

No PASS, source edits, Task27/live actions, or Git actions occurred.


I read this as final Task26 certification of recovered snapshot `e880…59ed` - I’ll locate and authenticate the v3 immutable root first, then run every gate from a disposable copy so the snapshot itself remains untouched.


The v3 artifact is a 37-leaf POSIX read-only snapshot with its own verifier and all candidate-owned source, tests, fixture derivation inputs, wheel, and closure receipts. I’ll authenticate it in place now; all behavioral and build execution will use separate writable copies.


Core wheel/member/install/closure and the bwrap production-handler matrix pass. Two issues emerged: the first unit invocation lacked `uv` in its deliberately reduced PATH (an audit harness error I’m correcting), while Ruff found a real sealed-source blocker: unused `Mapping` in `contracts.py`. I’ll still complete Ty, compileall, exact tests, and the legacy lane so the final FAIL receipt is complete.


The corrected snapshot-owned suite is green (`21 passed, 2 deselected`), but the sealed source independently fails code quality: Ruff has one unused import and Ty emits three redundant-cast diagnostics. I’m now running the required legacy regressions from a disposable workspace with the recovered owner-v1 snapshot grafted in; the immutable snapshot remains untouched.


I read this as an immediate stop of the superseded e880 audit - I’ll preserve the authenticated quality findings in one private Task26 FAIL/superseded receipt, with no further gates or source actions.


I read this as a stopped, superseded Task26 audit - findings are preserved pending a new immutable checkpoint.

**FAIL — SUPERSEDED**

Mode-`0600` receipt:

`.omo/evidence/task26/task26-code-quality-final-reaudit-e880-superseded.redacted.json`

No PASS marker, snapshot/source edits, live actions, Git commands, or Task27 actions occurred.


I read this as final Task26 certification of immutable candidate `2a0c…83cb` - I’ll authenticate the supplied manifest before execution, run every gate from disposable copies, then re-authenticate the untouched snapshot before writing a mode-`0600` verdict.


The supplied `06ffc…8a29` is the outer 40-leaf snapshot-manifest hash; inside it, candidate `2a0c…83cb` binds 28 release leaves and wheel `2651…490e`. I’m invoking the snapshot’s read-only verifier now before any lane.


Behavioral, bwrap, compile, determinism, wheel, install, and closure gates pass. The immutable candidate still has the same decisive code-quality defects: Ruff fails on one unused import, and Ty reports three diagnostics. I’m completing the hermetic legacy matrix and full Gateway compatibility run before the required final authentication.


I read this as an immediate coordination stop - I’ll preserve the v4 findings in one private `SUPERSEDED/HOLD` Task26 receipt only, with no final authentication or further execution against moving bytes.


I read this as a stopped v4 review - findings are preserved pending the exact v5 checkpoint.

**SUPERSEDED / HOLD**

Mode-`0600` receipt:

`.omo/evidence/task26/task26-code-quality-v4-superseded-hold.redacted.json`

No PASS, final authentication, source/snapshot edits, Task27/live actions, or Git actions occurred after the stop.


I read this as final Task26 certification of immutable v5 candidate `8070…a2a6` - I’ll authenticate every v5 checkpoint pin first, execute all gates from disposable copies, perform an independent final authentication, then write only a mode-`0600` PASS/FAIL receipt.


The v5 checkpoint pins a 52-leaf read-only snapshot, candidate manifest `963e…06d3`, wheel `374d…54b`, closure `b977…66c7`, and two independent canonical-digest implementations. I’m authenticating the complete inventory and append-only binding graph before running any code.


Snapshot tests, bwrap, Ruff, compileall, and deterministic checks pass. Ty still emits three diagnostics despite returning zero, which violates the lane’s zero-diagnostic requirement. The first independent-digest call used the rebuilt wheel outside the candidate root; I’m correcting that audit invocation to the retained byte-identical wheel and completing the focused hermetic legacy gates.


All requested behavioral, bwrap, Ruff, compile, ordering/concurrency, dual-digest, wheel/member/install/closure, and focused hermetic legacy gates are green. The quality verdict remains decisive **FAIL** because Ty emits three diagnostics on the exact v5 bytes; I’m performing the required final snapshot authentication and sealing that result.


I read this as final v5 certification - completed with exact pre/post authentication.

**FAIL**

Ty emitted three redundant-cast diagnostics on candidate source despite exit code `0`. All other requested gates passed, including tests, bwrap, Ruff, compileall, concurrency, dual digests, wheel/install/closure, and focused legacy regressions.

Mode-`0600` receipt:

`.omo/evidence/task26/task26-code-quality-final-v5.redacted.json`

No source/snapshot, live, Git, or Task27 mutations occurred.
