+## Subsequent verification and delivery blockers
+
+The sections above describe the earlier checkpoint, not the latest outcome.
+Canonical source subsequently reached `3bb9c55`; the installed accepted runtime
+was not upgraded by the following source reviews.
+
+### Current-v2 reader and CLI
+
+The corrected Kernel slice `c79f8d4`, Work convergence slice `7e0734a`, and
+Release CLI slice `dd77b70` applied cleanly to canonical `3bb9c55` in the
+detached review tree `/tmp/torch-current-reader-review-vFjsSi/candidate`.
+The resulting candidate was `62629b806b00b4ceb8701c754c65b22738614eb9`.
+Root's full suite passed 282 tests with four explicit skips. A focused command
+named nonexistent `cli.test.mjs`; its 11 passing tests therefore did not prove
+CLI coverage. The actual full-suite glob did include `cli-scenarios.test.mjs`.
+
+Root then removed the reader's `BEGIN` and transaction-open flag in an isolated
+mutant. The original four reader scenarios still passed: a demonstrated
+coverage gap, not proof of a production-reader defect. QA granted an additive
+correlated-generation scenario, delivered as
+`85914d3ef8a310878cec8345d976e78b3128d47e` atop `62629b8`.
+Root independently verified five reader scenarios passing on that exact
+candidate. The same no-transaction mutant failed the new scenario because a
+single reader combined generation A and generation B, not because close failed.
+Evidence was delivered to QA and Manager in owner messages `23102515` and
+`fd088d9f`. The review-only mutant remains in
+`/tmp/torch-reader-oracle-independent-W4arvj/candidate`; do not promote it.
+
+Work separately delivered `cdc3aa9b800f7f2c1c925e1d8ecd21d9948fd3d2`, a sibling
+of `85914d3` atop `62629b8`. Its additive CLI scenario invokes actual `brief`,
+`converge plan`, and `converge guards` against a sidecar-free, write-refusing
+fixture and checks unchanged database bytes. Root verified that exact targeted
+scenario passing in `/tmp/torch-cli-reader-independent-YpA8xa/candidate` after
+providing dependencies. An initial invocation used the wrong working directory
+and failed importing `zod` before assertions; that setup failure is not a
+behavioral test result. No composed `85914d3` plus `cdc3aa9` candidate, native
+check receipt, installed qualification, or integration is asserted here.
+
+### Compact-card source corrections
+
+Candidate `29afa15` initially left long title/domain metadata unbounded: an
+isolated headless reproduction grew a card from 407px to 2,803px. Its current
+controls link also left the modal open over the destination. Correction
+`063034274a9e42b589aed6ef6071780b06f9a3b7` bounds those fields and closes/routes
+the modal. Root independently ran all six focused browser scenarios successfully.
+QA reported full-suite/check/dashboard/lint success for that source candidate.
+This is hermetic demo evidence, not connected live desktop/mobile qualification,
+uniform-height acceptance across every card type, or installed delivery.
+
+The correction contains `Closes: TASK-console-compact-details`; the full task
+remains incomplete. Manager reported that automatic closure refuses a blocked
+task that is not ready to integrate. Preserve that boundary rather than making
+the task integration-ready solely to land a source slice. Existing managed
+Console branch `2261e9b` and its history remain separate from the detached source.
+
+### Failed gates and operational requests
+
+Runtime's converged `0bb5ca4a084ad19a99cef1d8ea3162bf29272f8f` and Kernel's
+`85914d3` both reported full-suite cancellation at the existing 60-second
+`cli-scenarios.test.mjs` boundary. Neither is a green full-suite result.
+Runtime preserved its excerpt and audit in its worktree under
+`test_logs/cli-suite-timeout-0bb5ca4a.observed-output.log` and
+`reports/test-audit/cli-suite-timeout-report-2026-10-03.md`.
+There is no TORCH check receipt for that direct `npm run test` invocation.
+The captured file-level output does not identify an internal CLI subscenario.
+No timeout increase, assertion relaxation, or retry-until-green was authorized.
+
+Root submitted these concrete findings through durable owner requests:
+
+- `700f9ac7`: live snapshot response took 9.182 seconds; the following static
+  page response took 0.003552 seconds. Synchronous doctor/Git observation is a
+  candidate cause, not a proven root cause. Profile without hiding stale state.
+- `db2380f0`: configuration defines a one-slot browser resource, but full-test
+  and dashboard-check resource lists are empty. Direct test commands have no
+  queue receipt. This coordination gap is verified; its role in the timeout
+  is not. Avoid new competing full/browser suites while diagnosing it.
+- `0d25bf3e`: ordinary integration intake requires a registered specialist
+  branch tip equal to the candidate SHA. Detached `626`/`859`/`cdc` do not meet
+  that boundary, and Session Manager is not a feature-source identity. A
+  reviewed lossless adoption path is needed; do not impersonate a specialist,
+  reset its branch, import its whole future branch, or fabricate receipts.
+- `ea12134f`: Owner Console had both live parent and native Codex child for
+  approximately 42 minutes while its durable progress report remained old.
+  Separate executor liveness from recent activity and actual waiting reasons.
+  Age alone does not authorize termination, guard cleanup, or restart.
+
+### Launch allowance and next actions
+
+An audited one-day allowance permitted 96 automatic launches on UTC
+2026-10-03, while the ordinary future daily cap remains 48. The ledger reached
+96 and the live observation returned `daily-turn-cap`. In-flight turns were
+allowed to finish; no ledger reset or further allowance was granted. The policy
+uses UTC midnight, not local midnight. It is an invocation allowance, not proof
+of token/cost governance or reboot-persistent scheduling.
+
+Next work remains: independent current-candidate QA; deterministic diagnosis
+of the failed CLI gate and correct resource admission; lossless candidate
+adoption/intake; exact-SHA qualifying receipts; serialized integration;
+installed sandbox/startup verification; connected live UI review; and the
+remaining roadmap. Durable manager backlog and owner messages remain the
+authoritative queue. This report does not close those tasks or broaden authority.
