I read this as a read-only runtime investigation - I’ll trace observer-r70’s policy, history, artifacts, scheduler state, and current process state, reproduce its calculation on copied data, then write only the requested evidence JSON and remove temporary artifacts.


The first evidence wave confirms the observer is faithfully executing its checksum-pinned r70 code and failing only the policy gate at 12:20. I’m now isolating whether that gate is fed by stale/missing day-status production artifacts or by customer-dependent data, and correlating it with the dispatcher failures and the earlier PASS-to-FAIL transition.


The calculation toggle is decisive: the same 12:20 snapshot fails when fed the observer’s legacy unsuffixed authority root and passes when fed the runtime-configured r70 authority root, on two independent runs. The required 2026-08-31 status row already existed at 23:00:42, so no customer input is needed; the cron error is a separate post-09:36 runtime defect that must still be cleared before Todo 10 can launch.


I read this as a read-only runtime investigation - completed with only the requested evidence JSON written.

Created:

`/.omo/evidence/nutricoach-telegram-checkin-stepper/task-10-debug-observer-r70.json`

Key finding: observer-r70 reads the stale unsuffixed authority root. The configured r70 root already had the required `2026-08-31` status before the deadline. Reproduction toggled `FAIL(first_day_status)` to `PASS` solely by selecting the configured root, twice.

The cron identity-drift error is a separate blocker; no customer input is required. Launcher count remains zero, all r71 roots remain absent, the live draft hash is unchanged, and temporary artifacts were removed. JSON validation and diagnostics passed.
