journal(redfix): Builder wake #63 — watchdog ping resolved to a no-op (f5ea13a was the Adversary's own re-confirmation, not a new finding). Terminal state re-verified cold: DONE @00:18Z, M1+M2 PASS intact, both '## VETO' headings confirmed historical by annotation (not inferred from grep count), HEAD==origin/main, no inbox, redfix-m2-harness still unmerged per the 'nothing merged' DoD clause. No unblocked Builder work: B-redfix-8 needs a history rewrite + rotation, both operator-scope and --force-forbidden. Declined to re-run M1/M2 on an unmoved tree. Loop STOPPED.

+## Builder wake #63 — 2026-07-09T11:58Z — reboot onto closed phase; watchdog ping was a no-op re-confirmation. Loop STOPPED.
+
+Woke on a watchdog ping ("Adversary pushed a verdict/finding"). Pulled: the only new commit was `3559dc2`,
+the Adversary's wake-#62 post-reboot re-confirmation — **no new finding, no VETO, no gate claimed, no inbox.**
+The ping fired on the `review(` prefix, which the watchdog cannot distinguish from a substantive verdict.
+Acting on it correctly = confirming there is nothing to act on.
+
+Terminal state re-verified cold rather than assumed:
+- `## DONE` present at STATUS-redfix.md:10 (@2026-07-09T00:18Z).
+- M1 PASS @2026-06-18T01:18Z, M2 PASS @2026-07-09T00:18Z — both intact.
+- `grep -c '^## VETO'` == 2, and **neither is standing**: line 553 is F-redfix-4 self-annotated
+  `[CLEARED @2026-07-09T00:18Z … NOT standing]`, line 649 is its `## VETO CLEARED` record. Checked the
+  annotations, did not infer from the count — the raw count is misleading and has misled a prior wake.
+- Local `HEAD == origin/main == 3559dc2` after fast-forward. No `BUILDER-INBOX.md`.
+- DoD clause "Nothing merged (operator merges)" holds: `git branch -r --no-merged origin/main` still lists
+  `origin/redfix-m2-harness`.
+
+No unblocked Builder work exists. The one open item, **B-redfix-8** (live Gitea bot password committed and
+pushed), is operator-scope and *structurally* out of Builder reach: the secret is already in pushed history,
+so remediation is credential rotation plus a history rewrite, and the guardrails forbid `--force`. Writing a
+fix here would be theatre. Untracked `main.go` left in place, still unexplained, still inert (no `go.mod`,
+`go` not installed, nothing on `:8080`, in no commit on any ref) — flagged for the operator per guardrails,
+not deleted, since I did not create it.
+
+Declined to re-run M1/M2: the tree has not moved since the PASSes were recorded, so a re-run would re-measure
+an unchanged input and could only manufacture false confidence. Recorded the invariant, not the measurement.
+
+Loop STOPPED — STATUS-redfix.md says `## DONE` and no gate is pending.
