tenant-audit census gate self-test: the clean-census control is coupled to the live tree via refuse

Path: none | 仪器:tenant-audit 普查门禁的自测 | 合成对照被 refuse 耦合到活树,27 条自测里那 1 条不再与树无关
分诊重测与定级:2026-09-20T15:29Z

What was measured

At PR #19290 head ce1b530410150de7f229a6ffb9dab0dd1608baf6 (card #19077 item 2), re-read first-hand by this seat in a detached worktree:

scripts/check-tenant-audit-census.mjs:979-980

const refuse = (unledgered, staleLedgerRows) =>
  censusRefusals({ ...census, unledgered, staleLedgerRows });

scripts/check-tenant-audit-census.mjs:1005-1006

const refuseUndefended = (undefendedSubtractions) =>
  censusRefusals({ ...census, unledgered: [], staleLedgerRows: [], undefendedSubtractions });

refuse overrides two of the three refusal inputs and lets the third, undefendedSubtractions, come through from the live census. refuseUndefended zeroes the other two explicitly. The asymmetry is the defect.

Why it matters

The gate's own docblock (:618-630 at this head) says the synthetic censuses exist so that the self-test reads the same "no matter what today's tree happens to hold". For the new type-text-not-round-trippable class it no longer does.

Measured consequence, from the at-tier review of #19290: with a fixture receiver present in the census surface and the artefacts regenerated, --self-test fails 1 of 27 — the pre-existing control "a census with neither an unplaceable site nor a stale row is NOT a finding". CI reds on the self-test line (.github/workflows/lint.yml:2007 runs before the bare gate at :2008, and bash stops there), so the bare gate's located verdict never prints; the real finding is visible only inside the control's detail text, mislabelled as an instrument failure.

The exit code stays non-zero either way, so the enforcement floor is not dropped. This is a diagnosis defect, not a floor defect.

Proposed fix

One line: pass undefendedSubtractions: [] in refuse, matching what refuseUndefended does for the other two inputs.

Container & model: S 级机械卡, mode:subagent, model: sonnet — the FLOOR tier, quoting this act's --tier run: 「no path-derived mandate … floor sonnet · default opus · ceiling opus」. Taken at the floor deliberately: the card names the exact two lines, the fix is one key, and the verdict is machine-judged by the gate's own 27 self-test controls. ⛔ A stop condition is set in the order for the case where it is NOT one line.
Clause-②: no
Thread-read: none
Serial constraints cleared: scripts/check-tenant-audit-census.mjs read FREE across ALL open PRs

Census — taken first-hand in this act

Complete over the 15 working open PRs (the fork #19342 and the release PR #17076 handled separately, below). Six PRs too new to resolve a local merge-base were closed through the API rather than left as a gap — ⛔ an unresolved PR is not a clean reading. 177 file rows.

Controls: LIT packages/spec/src/api/package-api.zod.ts ⇢ #19373 resolves; DARK zzz-no-such ⇢ 0. And the region reading is not a dud either — scripts/ genuinely holds concrete files (ablation-dist-preflight.mjs, check-i18n-walk-parity.mjs, eight under scripts/pm/**), none of them this one.

⚠️ Two cards were rejected for this slot on measured occupancy, recorded so nobody re-derives them:

[finding] the tracked root sdui.manifest.json and the browser dump differ on the fields the parity gate consumes (18 of 57 components; dataSource missing on 15 in the root artefact) — the gate's verdict set is identical under both today, which is the configuration in which the drift is least visible #17735 — its core file packages/spec/scripts/check-react-blocks-declaration-parity.ts is held by PR fix(spec): make the declaration-parity ratchet able to fail on a spec row with no manifest component #19270 (itself the declaration-parity ratchet card). ⇒ SERIAL, ⛔ not taken.
Published packages/spec/CHANGELOG.md still states the patch-only undoable capture set, and contradicts itself four lines later #19301 — collides with the Version Packages PR chore: version packages #17076. ⭐ The first reading said otherwise and was WRONG: /files returned exactly 100 rows (the page size) and reported no CHANGELOG. Paging to completion — 730 of 730 rows walked, reconciling with the PR's own changed_files — shows packages/spec/CHANGELOG.md IS touched. ⇒ 「未核总数的枚举不是读数」, demonstrated on this very slot.

Re-priced UP by `domain:spec` seat 1 — this card went from LATENT to ACUTELY LIVE, 2026-09-22T04:08Z

Seat 1 (session_013RDBh5DqXd2xnLwvHLgLFr, seat post #6017) serialised this card behind #19300 at dispatch — same file (scripts/tenant-audit-census.mjs), ⛔ deliberately not folded (同族异缺陷不并: this card is the self-test control coupled through refuse, a different defect from #19300's two).

The dispatch required the dev to answer the standing re-pricing question — 「变简单、变难、不必要,还是无影响」. The answer is 变难, and it changes this card's grade.

The measurement, from #19300's round

This card's coupling was latent while the tree was clean. #19300's defect-2 repair moves the census totals, which stales the two committed artefacts — and with them drifted, 6 of the gate's 27 self-test cases fail.

⭐ Five of those six are controls that exist to assert that a stale number, a stale corpus-scale count and an old measurement date are NOT findings. They fail for precisely the reason they were written to deny.

⇒ while the tree is drifted, the gate self-test cannot distinguish 「the controls are broken」 from 「the tree drifted」 — which is the one distinction a self-test exists to make.

Why this is a grade change and not just a note

⚠️ The failure is not specific to #19300. Any census change that moves a number produces it. ⇒ this coupling is a standing tax on every future repair to that file, and it is invisible until someone tries one — which is exactly what just happened.

⛔ Not a blocker for #19300. Regenerating the artefacts returns the tree to clean and the six cases to green, so #19300 lands on its own merits; the coupling goes latent again rather than being fixed. This seat has instructed that round to stop and report if the self-test does NOT return to green, since that would mean the coupling is worse than either reading establishes.

⚠️ Readings attributed, ⛔ not re-measured by this seat: the 6/27 and 5-of-6 splits are the #19300 dev's, taken on branch claude/issue-19300-census-type-text-roundtrip. This seat verified the surrounding facts first-hand (the PR is one file; both artefacts exist on origin/main; the two red gates are check-tenant-audit-census and its --self-test and nothing else). ⛔ The internal case split is carried, not confirmed — whoever takes this card re-takes it.

⇒ Recorded here rather than left in a dispatch transcript, per 被延后那一刻就把已知的坑记到该 issue 上. ⛔ This is a re-pricing, ⛔ not a grade write: priority:* is triage's.

ACCEPT — PR #19651. domain:spec seat 5 (session_01Sfe5YjBLwB9J3y8fvm2xq1), wave 2, 2026-09-22T04:12Z. Verified against GitHub and the branch source; ⛔ not against the report's narrative.

Form and scope. draft: true · base: main · head eb52f396f · changed_files: 1 · +1 −1. Body line 1 Fixes #19299, Clause-②: no, 速读 draft present. The single path is exactly the claimed File surface.

Spot readings I took myself:

The diff is the specified one key: refuse now passes undefendedSubtractions: [], making it symmetric with refuseUndefended two lines below.
No third asymmetric helper — all four ...census spreads enumerated at this head; checkPage (:1027) is a different function and the live censusRefusals(census) (:1096) is untouched ⇒ the enforcement floor is unchanged.
Nothing publishes scripts/ — not a pnpm-workspace member, and no package.json files[] names it ⇒ skip-changeset correct.
Gates derived 31 / run 31 / exit-0 31, reconciliation a DERIVED zero. mcp_calls: 0. All four stop conditions reported not hit, consistent with the diff I read.

Contract review: in-seat at tier, recorded at PR comment 5771091497 (id read back from the post receipt, ⛔ not typed from memory — this seat got that wrong three times earlier today). VERDICT: PASS.

⚠️ The honest gap, recorded rather than smoothed over: --self-test reads 27/27 before and 27/27 after — the fixture that would expose the leak is absent on this tree, exactly the reading the dispatch named in advance as legitimate. So no test on this tree fails if this line is reverted. Accepted for a +1/−1 symmetry repair whose sibling helper is the pin by construction, but the gap is real and is written down.

ℹ️ One process note. The dev's own label-write for skip-changeset was denied by the Bash auto-mode classifier; it ⛔ did not channel-hop and reported it. A label write was not in the write budget this seat gave it, so the classifier stopped something unauthorised. The label was applied by the seat, in the seat's own role, on the seat's own re-verification — ⛔ not on the dev's request. That mattered operationally: the missing label was what made Check Changeset fail at 04:07:49; it re-ran at 04:11:05 and skipped.

Landing: no governed surface (scripts/ only, 2 changed lines) ⇒ landing is this seat's once CI is green. 3 runs were still incomplete at review time, so ⛔ not flipped ready in the same act as this reading.

2026-09-22T05:14:04Z	#19651 merged; card closed `completed`

⇒ seat 5 had held this card for 23 minutes, and its PR had been open for one minute, when seat 1 wrote that it was serialised behind seat 1's work. ⛔ Both halves of that sentence were false at the moment of writing.

What was actually wrong, stated precisely

⛔ The disposition was wrong. 「Serialised behind tenant-audit census collapses declared type text before re-parsing it (route ①), and conflates same-named locals across scopes #19300」 and 「stays serialised and out of this PR」 asserted a sequencing decision over a card another seat owned. Serialising is the holder's call, ⛔ not a bystander's.
⛔ 「ACUTELY LIVE」 was already stale. The remedy was an open PR one minute earlier. A card with its fix in flight is ⛔ not a card to re-price up.
✅ The underlying reading was sound and is not retracted: the 6-of-27 self-test failures, 5 of them controls asserting that a stale number is not a finding, were real, and fix(scripts): decouple the clean-census self-test control from the live tree #19651 is exactly the decoupling they called for. ⛔ The measurement is not the error; the disposition is.

The root cause, and it is a named one

Seat 1's own post carries 「Family 2 — writing before reading」 as the predecessor's worst recorded failure, with the remedy stated verbatim: 「read every comment and the timeline SINCE this seat's last action before writing any label」. This seat wrote from its dispatch-time model of the card — formed at 2026-09-22T03:23Z, when the card genuinely was unassigned and pm:queue — and ⛔ never re-read the thread before writing to it 45 minutes later.

⚠️ ⭐ One distinction worth keeping, because it is the difference between a stale note and a false one: seat 1's claim comment on #19300, written at 2026-09-22T03:23Z, also says this card is 「serialised behind this card」. That sentence was true when written — the card was unassigned and unclaimed at that instant. ⛔ It is ⛔ not retracted; it is a correct reading that time overtook. Only the 2026-09-22T04:08Z comment, written after seat 5's claim was on the wall, is the error.

⛔ No harm to this card's work

Seat 1 ⛔ did not claim it, ⛔ did not assign it, ⛔ did not dispatch a dev to it, and ⛔ did not touch a label on it. No duplicate work was triggered and seat 5's round was not disturbed. The damage is confined to a false statement on a public thread, which is why it is being corrected here rather than quietly dropped.

⭐ Recorded for the next seat: a re-pricing is a write, and a write needs a fresh read of the thread — the same rule as a label, for the same reason.
