This is the category reserved for goal-oriented autonomous work on hairy problems that reward thorough exploration and comprehensive solutions.\n\nThe orchestrator chose this category because the task benefits from depth over speed. You should feel empowered to spend the time needed: five to fifteen minutes of silent exploration before the first edit is normal and correct. Rushing to implementation on a deep task is a failure mode, not a feature.\n\n# How deep mode adjusts the base behavior\n\n**Exploration budget: generous.** Read the files you need, trace dependencies both directions, fire 2-5 explore/librarian sub-agents in parallel for broader questions. Build a complete mental model before the first `apply_patch`. Exploration here is an investment, not overhead.\n\n**Goal, not plan.** You receive a GOAL describing the desired outcome. You figure out HOW to achieve it. The orchestrator deliberately did not hand you a step-by-step plan; producing one and asking for approval is not what was asked. Execute.\n\n**Atomic task treatment.** When the goal contains numbered steps or phases, treat them as sub-steps of ONE task and execute them all in this turn. Splitting them across turns is wrong unless they reveal an architectural blocker that requires the user's input. If the \"steps\" turn out to be genuinely independent tasks that should have been separate delegations, flag that in your final message and refuse the ones beyond scope.\n\n**Root cause bias.** Prefer root-cause fixes over symptom fixes. A null check around `foo()` is a symptom fix; fixing whatever causes `foo()` to return unexpected values is the root fix. Trace at least two levels up before settling on an answer. In deep mode, you have permission (and the expectation) to do the deeper fix.\n\n**Ambition scaled to context.** For brand-new greenfield work, be ambitious. Choose strong defaults, avoid AI-slop aesthetics, produce something you would be proud to hand to another senior engineer. For changes in an existing codebase, be surgical and respect the existing patterns; depth does not mean invasiveness.\n\n**Completion bar: full delivery.** \"Simplified version\", \"proof of concept\", and \"you can extend this later\" are not acceptable deliveries for a deep task. The orchestrator routed here specifically for a complete solution. If you hit a genuine blocker (missing secret, design decision only the user can make, three materially different attempts all failed), document it and return; otherwise, finish the task.\n\n**Status cadence: sparse.** The user is not on the other side of this conversation; the orchestrator is, and they will synthesize your progress. Send commentary only at meaningful phase transitions (starting exploration, starting implementation, starting verification, hitting a genuine blocker). Do not narrate every tool call; silence during focused work is expected.\n</Category_Context>"},"host_pid":4111719,"final_response":"I read this as a read-only root-cause report for F2 - I traced the live residue through the installed runtime and cleanup implementation, validated it cryptographically, and designed the smallest safe remediation and regression test.\n\n## Verdict\n\nAssuming:\n\n- **H1:** the outbox represents active target workflow authority.\n- **H2:** it is historical or unrelated residue.\n\n**Decisive result:** it is **terminal historical evidence belonging exclusively to the cleaned target**, not an active/pending workflow and not unrelated.\n\n- H1 is false operationally: all records are `COMMITTED`; none are dispatchable or awaiting reconciliation.\n- H2 is only partly true: historical yes, unrelated no.\n- F2 is a real cleanup coverage defect. The target’s committed publication evidence survived because it is keyed by `session_id` and route, while cleanup discovers shared data by `customer_key`.\n\n## Exact live observations\n\nProfile:\n\n`/home/cube/.hermes/profiles/dualcoachtest`\n\nTarget binding from the archived bootstrap ledger:\n\n- customer: `task26_claim_20260818145508_1b96b23d`\n- session: `cb_mYUoMIsk_CRzSDKYpPE9dg`\n- user/chat/topic: `8527916639 / 8527916639 / 0`\n- state at cleanup: `AWAITING_ACTIVATION`\n- expiry: `2026-08-18T15:25:08.385071+00:00`\n\nLive outbox `ledger.json`:\n\n- schema: `telegram-nutrition-onboarding-publication-outbox-v2`\n- size: 17,668 bytes\n- SHA-256: `0d79c3e461a0401265d3033b364eb8ec4323b5614386693231d003c7b312a947`\n- records: 26\n- sessions: exactly `{cb_mYUoMIsk_CRzSDKYpPE9dg: 26}`\n- routes: exactly `{(\"8527916639\", \"0\"): 26}`\n- roles: exactly `{customer: 26}`\n- states: exactly `{COMMITTED: 26}`\n- payload states: 22 `collecting`, 4 `customer_attestation`\n- generations: `0..21, 23, 24, 25, 26`\n- message IDs: `304, 306, ..., 346, 348, 350, 352, 354`\n- literal customer key is absent from the ledger.\n\nUsing the installed `GatewayOnboardingPublicationOutbox(..., initialize=False)` validated all 26 records and their HMAC receipt integrity:\n\n- primary records: 26\n- emergency records: 0\n- target owner callback: absent\n\nThe runtime service is currently inactive/dead with `MainPID=0`; no real profile process was found. The customer data directory and bootstrap source directory are absent. Registry state is disabled with `ai_processing_consent.granted=false`.\n\n## Why this is terminal, not active\n\nInstalled runtime:\n\n`gateway/platforms/telegram_nutrition_onboarding_publication_outbox.py`\n\n- Lines 69-82 define the outbox as the durable publication receipt authority and all seven paths.\n- Lines 217-239 transition a receipted publication to `COMMITTED` only after profile commit.\n- Lines 241-247 expose only `RECEIPTED` records for recovery.\n- Lines 642-655 initialize the complete outbox suite.\n- Lines 657-684 inspect and integrity-check the suite.\n- Lines 897-931 parse and reject malformed or ambiguous ledgers.\n\nTherefore these records cannot initiate another send. They are nevertheless customer-related durable publication evidence and violate a zero-residue cleanup assertion.\n\n## Why cleanup missed it\n\nInstalled cleanup code:\n\n### `archive_customer_cleanup`\n\n`checkin_cli/customer_cleanup.py`\n\n- Lines 127-148 call `source_inventory()` using only the customer directory and explicit `candidate_paths`.\n- The live manifest confirms:\n  - `candidate: []`\n  - `shared_ledger_projections: []`\n  - inventory contains only three customer-directory files.\n- Lines 204-218 trust `post_cleanup_authority_inventory()` before and after pruning.\n\n### Source inventory\n\n`checkin_cli/customer_cleanup_fs.py`, lines 62-101:\n\n- Automatically walks only `data/customers/<customer_key>`.\n- An external candidate is accepted only when its path is customer-scoped or its filename contains the customer key.\n- `data/onboarding/telegram-publication-outbox-v1/ledger.json` satisfies neither rule.\n\n### Post-cleanup inventory\n\n`checkin_cli/customer_cleanup_inventory.py`, lines 162-261:\n\n- Shared authorities are limited to `draft-generations.json`.\n- The generic scan at lines 218-235 only recognizes files whose **relative pathname contains the customer key**.\n- It does not inspect session-keyed outbox records.\n- Consequently it returned `active_count=0`, `orphan_count=0`, and Task27 recorded a false PASS.\n\n### Shared-ledger support gap\n\n`checkin_cli/customer_cleanup_shared.py`, lines 16-20:\n\n- The closed `SharedLedgerProjection` enum supports only:\n  `data/owner-actions/draft-generations.json`.\n- There is no publication-outbox projection or customer-to-session resolver.\n\n## Files that must move together\n\nThe current directory contains exactly seven entries:\n\n1. `.lock`\n2. `.emergency.lock`\n3. `.owner-callbacks.lock`\n4. `.receipt-key`\n5. `ledger.json`\n6. `emergency.json`\n7. `owner-callbacks.json`\n\nThey form one integrity/concurrency domain and must be archived as a directory, not as an isolated ledger:\n\n- `.receipt-key` authenticates publication and callback receipts.\n- The primary and emergency ledgers reconcile against each other.\n- Owner callbacks bind to committed primary publications.\n- The three lock files protect those stores and their inode identity.\n- Runtime initialization and inspection expect the suite coherently.\n\nIf `ledger-v1-untrusted.json` exists in another profile, it must move with the suite too. Unexpected temporary or unknown entries should block cleanup rather than be silently included.\n\nThe staff-membership journal containing route `8527916639` is not an outbox sibling and cannot safely be deleted based on route alone; it is a profile-wide subscription journal.\n\n## Smallest safe archive/prune transaction\n\nBecause every live outbox record belongs to this one target and both adjunct ledgers are empty, the smallest live remediation is an **atomic directory rename into a new archive operation**, not record-by-record rewriting.\n\n### Fail-closed preconditions\n\nUnder the profile authority lock and all three outbox locks:\n\n1. Service is fenced/inactive and no matching profile process exists.\n2. Registry row exactly matches the expected customer, route, disabled state, and non-consent state.\n3. Canonical cleanup journal is committed and its archive verifies.\n4. Archived bootstrap evidence uniquely binds target customer → target session → route.\n5. Customer and bootstrap source directories remain absent.\n6. Runtime inspection validates all HMAC-backed outbox records.\n7. Every primary record:\n   - has the expected session and route,\n   - has role `customer`,\n   - is `COMMITTED`.\n8. Emergency and callback ledgers are empty.\n9. Entry set is exactly the expected seven files; no symlinks, hard links, foreign owners, permissive modes, temporary files, or foreign records.\n10. Re-stat every entry after reading and require unchanged device/inode/size/mtime/hash.\n11. New archive destination is absent and on device `66306`, matching the source.\n12. No existing committed Task27 archive is modified.\n\n### Transaction\n\n1. Write and fsync a new `PREPARED` manifest containing every entry’s identity, size, mode, and SHA-256 plus the exact customer/session/route binding.\n2. Atomically rename the entire directory to:\n   `data/task27-final-cleanup/archives/<new-op>/payload/data/onboarding/telegram-publication-outbox-v1`\n3. Fsync source and archive parents.\n4. Revalidate the archived suite with `initialize=False`, verify all manifest hashes, and confirm the live source path is absent.\n5. Append/fsync `ARCHIVED_VERIFIED`, then `COMMITTED`; freeze the archive read-only.\n\nA later runtime start may create a fresh empty suite and a new receipt key through `_prepare_paths`; it cannot recover these archived records.\n\n### Rollback\n\nBefore commit, any verification or journal failure must rename the unchanged archived directory back to the original path and fsync both parents. Rollback is permitted only if:\n\n- the original path is still absent,\n- archive identities still match the prepared manifest,\n- service remains fenced,\n- no fresh outbox was created.\n\nOtherwise stop fail-closed and require operator recovery. After `COMMITTED`, rollback must be a separate authenticated operation.\n\n## Failing-first test design\n\n1. **Inventory regression**\n   - Create a disabled/nonconsenting customer.\n   - Create bootstrap/session binding and one valid committed publication record.\n   - Assert `post_cleanup_authority_inventory()` reports `outbox > 0` and, after a committed cleanup journal, `orphan_count > 0`.\n   - Current code fails by returning zero.\n\n2. **Cleanup integration**\n   - Run `archive_customer_cleanup()` against a customer whose only remaining authority is the session-keyed outbox.\n   - Assert cleanup cannot commit while that authority is unarchived.\n   - After outbox projection/archive support, assert the complete seven-file suite is archived and the live target authority is absent.\n   - Current code commits while leaving the ledger live.\n\n3. **Foreign-record fail-closed test**\n   - Add one committed record for a second session/customer.\n   - Assert whole-directory archival is rejected and no bytes move.\n   - This prevents cross-customer deletion.\n\n4. **Nonterminal and malformed cases**\n   - Parameterize `DISPATCHING`, `RECEIPTED`, non-empty emergency ledger, callback records, unknown entries, changed inode/hash, and missing receipt key.\n   - Each must block without mutation.\n\n5. **Deterministic rollback**\n   - Inject a fault immediately after atomic rename.\n   - Assert exact source tree identity is restored, archive payload is absent, and no commit phase exists.\n   - Use fault hooks/events, not sleeps or polling.\n\nNo profile, service, repository file, or external state was modified.","run_stats":{"runtime_ms":162235,"turns":7,"tool_calls":33,"output_tokens":8288,"total_tokens":447245,"generation_ms":156563,"tokens_per_second":53,"cost_usd":0.929697,"cache_hit_rate_last":0.8772569687982205,"cache_hit_rate_run":0.7663256309843561}}
