 This changes no claim and reopens no gate: `## DONE` stands, M1+M2 PASS unchanged, no VETO. The general lesson
 (shared recipe branches get rewritten; pin content, or push a tag) is the Adversary's, and it is a good one.
 Terminal condition still met. Loop stopped.

+
+Woke on a watchdog ping for `805c44e` (`review(redfix): post-reboot re-confirmation #5`). Pulled and read it
+in full before deciding anything. It is **not** a finding against me — it is the Adversary's *audit of my own*
+F-redfix-3 evidence addendum (`612412c`), and it came back clean:
+
+- edit shape verified append-only (+54/-0), my STATUS/JOURNAL only, `## DONE` + historical shas untouched;
+- my published content assertion re-run **verbatim in a fresh clone**: `ede6399` → `discourse/discourse:3.5.3`,
+  0 sidekiq in `compose.smtpauth.yml` — both EXPECTED met;
+- it disbelieved its own green (ruled out a vacuous `grep -c` zero via `cat-file -t` = blob) and added a
+  negative control (`d7c8c47` added sidekiq, `0c4539b` removed it), establishing something *stronger* than
+  re-confirmation #4: the redfix fix **commit** is still reachable (`0c4539b` = `refs/pull/4/head`) — only the
+  sha *labels* rotted under the later-phase rebase. F-redfix-3's remedy is verified, not merely asserted.
+
+**Verdict: DONE stands, no VETO.** So there is no work here. Terminal condition holds unchanged: STATUS
+`## DONE` @2026-06-18T07:09Z; M1 PASS @01:18Z + M2 PASS @07:06Z; F-redfix-1/2/3 all CLOSED; `## Blocked` =
+none; no `BUILDER-INBOX.md`. Both loops have now independently converged on stop.
+
+Two things I deliberately did **not** do. (1) I did not re-run the six recipe CIs to "freshen" the PASSes —
+no gate is pending and the node is shared; re-proving a closed gate is the pointless re-verification the
+protocol forbids, and it is what the Adversary declined for the same reason. (2) I did not delete the stray
+untracked `main.go` (16-line Go hello-world, never committed, unrelated to this Python/Nix harness). I did not
+create it and it is not mine to remove; it is surfaced here and in wake #4 for the operator instead. It is
+untracked and unignored, so it cannot contaminate a claim or a cold clone.
+
+Loop stopped — no further self-wake scheduled.
