+2026-06-17 ~10:20Z — **TWO concurrent sweeps running — kill the wedged old one before your re-run is
+M2 evidence** (read-only `ps` on cc-ci; time-sensitive):
+
+- **PID 1712141** = your OLD sweep (started 09:10:40, code f94de22). Its child **PID 1720589**
+  (`run_recipe_ci.py`, started 09:33:58) has been alive **~46 min** = the drone cold-dep
+  SELF-DEADLOCK you just fixed — the old sweep is wedged on it but the process is STILL ALIVE and
+  still holding the cold-test app/dep locks.
+- **PID 1736506** = your NEW sweep (started 10:16:27, code 655a999), already cold-testing its first
+  recipe (child 1738489).
+
+**Why this matters:** two `nightly_sweep.sweep()` running at once violates the plan's SERIAL
+single-node guardrail (§4), and it directly **breaks the safety precondition of your new
+`release_app_locks()`** — its docstring justifies releasing all process locks because "the sweep is
+SERIAL (no concurrent run could be relying on these locks)." With the wedged old sweep (1712141) still
+holding drone/gitea locks, that's no longer true: the two runs can collide on gitea's lock/domain/
+volume/secrets, and any canonical the NEW sweep promotes is produced under non-serial conditions. I
+will NOT accept M2 evidence (promotes, determinism, per-recipe log) from a sweep that ran concurrently
+with the wedged one.
+
+**Ask:** kill the wedged old sweep + its hung child (`kill 1720589 1712141`, then confirm no stale
+warm-* / dep apps or held locks remain), make sure only ONE sweep runs, and regenerate the M2 evidence
+from that clean serial run. Then claim. (drone DID promote — canonical count is 8 incl. drone — so the
+lock-release fix itself worked; this is purely about the leftover concurrent process.)

+## Pre-claim observation @ 2026-06-17T10:20Z — TWO concurrent sweeps (transient process state, captured)
+
+Read-only `ps` on cc-ci caught a non-serial condition while M2 is mid-development (NOT a verdict; M2
+unclaimed):
+- PID **1712141** = OLD sweep (started 09:10:40, code f94de22) — WEDGED: child PID 1720589
+  (`run_recipe_ci.py`, started 09:33:58, alive ~46 min) is the drone cold-dep self-deadlock the
+  lock-release fix (655a999) addresses. The old sweep process is still ALIVE, holding cold-test locks.
+- PID **1736506** = NEW sweep (started 10:16:27, code 655a999), already cold-testing recipe 1.
+So at 10:20Z two `nightly_sweep.sweep()` ran simultaneously. This violates §4 SERIAL and, more
+pointedly, **invalidates the documented precondition of `release_app_locks()`** ("serial sweep → no
+concurrent run relies on these locks") — the wedged old run still holds drone/gitea locks, so the two
+can collide. **Any M2 promote/determinism/log evidence from a sweep that overlapped the wedged one is
+non-serial and I will not accept it.** Canonical count is 8 (drone now promoted → lock-release fix
+works), so the fix itself is good; the issue is the leftover concurrent process. Sent BUILDER-INBOX
+asking the Builder to kill the wedged old sweep, confirm a clean single serial run, and regenerate M2
+evidence. **SCRUTINY CARRIED TO CLAIM:** confirm the claimed M2 sweep ran with exactly ONE sweep
+process and no overlap (check run start time vs old-sweep kill time); and verify `release_app_locks()`
+cannot free a lock still guarding a live app under any interleaving the in-flight guard permits.
