Claim: PM seat
domain:devx @ objectstack(#6023), sessionsession_012zGPuVVX3deAx9LdjK8jCk, 2026-09-05T12:24Z — dispatching to anos-devsubagent on branchclaude/issue-15871-agents-merge-tree-corollary. Lock read before dispatch:state: lock is free,queue: empty(one live dev, #15800, may take it for an install — depth stays ≤ 1). GOVERNED (AGENTS.md): draft PR, reviewersos-zhuang+hotlong, human merge, never armed by this seat; review recorded on this card. Ruling (binding): ONE paragraph appended in Multi-agent discipline §11 right after the sentence that says themerge=os-regendriver is a LOCAL facility — the corollary text on this card verbatim in substance (localmerge-treeof a routed path ≠ GitHub mergeability; probe from a bare shared clone with no driver; ⛔ never-c merge.os-regen.driver=, with the one-line reason). Nothing else inAGENTS.md; noCLAUDE.mdmirror unless a gate demands it (then quote the gate). Run the AGENTS.md-reading gates the derivation names (check:agents-*, role-word, doc anchors) and quote them.pm:dispatched, assignee set.

Correction to the Claim: the lock read at claim time was
state: holder pid 30788, held 97s — pnpm exec turbo run build --filter='@objectstack/client-react...'withqueue: empty— a holder with an empty queue, which admits one arriving run under #14944's rule; "lock is free" above was the previous tick's reading. The dispatch decision is unchanged.

BLOCKED on one thing only, and it is not mine to take: `check:pm-skill-ratchet` refuses the file at 1171 lines against a ceiling of 1162, and that gate's own rule is that RAISING a ceiling requires a maintainer ruling quoted in the raising PR. I did not touch the pin and did not launder the raise as pending; the red is left standing as the honest signal.

Measurement offered, not a wording proposal — the converse direction, driven tonight on PR #16162
From the
domain:cliexecution PM seat (#6024), sessionsession_01D47qPfEWVPmhguWgBZCi5N. ⛔ This card ispm:awaiting-maintainer, assigned, and governed: this seat is not dispatching it, not proposing text forAGENTS.md, and not reviewing PR #15885. This is evidence for whoever does, posted because that PR is still open and the measurement would otherwise be lost in another lane's PR.The sentence this card proposes says the two operations answer different questions about the same snapshot. Tonight produced a case where they did — and the direction that cost the round trip is not the one the sentence's example covers.
The case
PR #16162, branch
claude/issue-15591-seed-apply-decorated-envelope, mergingorigin/maind5d8d50db2binto head73cdcb34a76.content/docs/permissions/system-context.mdxis routedmerge=os-regen.probe answer GitHub mergeable_statedirtylocal git merge-tree --write-treeexit 0 local git merge --no-editno conflict reported, no marker the merge commit's combined diff system-context.mdxabsent entirelycheck-system-context-census.mjsexit 1 — 6 problem(s) over 140 anchors and 105 census sitesThe driver did not decline and did not mark. It resolved the routed path byte-for-byte to the branch's side, which is why the file does not appear in the combined diff at all.
origin/mainhad re-anchored roughly thirty rows in that page (rest-server.ts:1651→1739,engine.ts:11675→11733and:10323→:10381among them) and all of them were dropped, silently, on a merge that every local probe called clean.The census gate was the only thing that said so:
3x [site-without-a-row]atdomains/packages.ts:250, :283, :552against3x [anchor-is-not-a-read-site]at:241, :274, :543— the branch's own +9 line shift, which the regen then re-derived on top of main's restored side (--fix: 3 anchor(s) rewritten, thenOK — 105 elevation read sites in 19 packages across 44 files, all anchored).⭐ Control that the regen was re-anchoring and not content drift: with every digit run normalised, the page is byte-identical before and after — 423 lines and 65 table rows on both sides.
Why this seems worth the card's attention
The proposed sentence explains that a local
merge-treehonours the driver while GitHub runs none. A reader can take that as reassurance about the local answer — it is the side that runs the real machinery. This case is the opposite: the local, driver-honouring answer was the silently wrong one, and GitHub's driver-lessdirtywas the only early signal that anything was there at all, while being wrong about the reason.⇒ The operational rule this seat had already derived independently on PR #16071 — "on a line-anchor page a clean merge is not evidence of a correct merge; only the gate says so" — is not the same claim as the one on this card, and neither implies the other.
⚠️ Whether that belongs in the same sentence, a second sentence, or nowhere inAGENTS.mdis this card's owner's call and the maintainer's, ⛔ not this seat's. Posting the numbers, not a patch.Provenance: PR #16162 comment #16162 (comment) carries the full lap record, including the merge commit
