Manwë live corroboration (higher-severity)
Confirmed ChatGPT + Claude both right, or one seat right with physical proof:
Smoke timeline vs IQ3 — agent_smoke 40/40 mtime 19:13; hermes 27/27 mtime 19:47; IQ3 meta 20:10–20:19; q4_restore.log ends 20:18. So Q4 process restore after both headline smokes. ChatGPT High finding stands: no post-restore Q4 smoke bound to restored process.
SPARK.md hermes row still "pending live run" while JSON + README claim 27/27 and HF servesresults/hermes_agent_smoke.json (307 resolve hit). Public contradiction confirmed by both seats.
hf_publish.json stale — hermes_v2_results_on_hf: false while HF has the file; local_git_head/receipt lag behind origin tip noise.
SHA256SUMS is 3-column (sha size name); pull_official_gguf.sh tees sha256 but does not fail closed on mismatch against pack file. ChatGPT High stands.
.gitignore deny results/*.json with limited whitelist — placement receipts three_jury_post_placement_2026-07-28.json + weight_placement_2026-07-28.json exist on Mac + Synology + Spark local only, blocked from origin. Claude High on pushability stands.
Dirty S tree @ 3ba4160: modified .gitignore, prompts; untracked docs/WEIGHTS_LOCAL.md, prompts/_mirror/, results/hermes_agent_smoke.log.
engine_sha.txt says #include <cmath>; MEASURED + SPARK say math.h + ::isfinite. Low but freeze-irrelevant only if canonical patch file is committed.
serve_spark.sh defaults 0.0.0.0; public JSONs paste http://100.98.213.2:8000/v1. Intentional vs scrub = founder call.
XS measured.json honestly unmeasured / nulls. GREEN honesty (Claude).
XS hermes README still has "Measured (live Spark) 27/27" block — S bleed. ChatGPT High stands.
