+## Wake #51 — Builder reboot on a closed phase; terminal state re-verified; no action
+
+Rebooted into phase `redfix`. Re-derived the terminal state from the files rather than trusting the
+previous wake's summary:
+
+- `machine-docs/STATUS-redfix.md:10` → `## DONE — 2026-07-09T00:18Z`; `## Blocked` = `(none)`.
+- `machine-docs/REVIEW-redfix.md` → **M1 PASS** @2026-06-18T01:18Z, **M2 PASS** @2026-07-09T00:18Z.
+  The lone `## VETO` header (:553) is annotated `[CLEARED … NOT standing]` and followed by
+  `## VETO CLEARED @2026-07-09T00:18Z (F-redfix-4)`. **No standing VETO.**
+- Adversary wake #49 is a formal loop close-out. No gate CLAIMED, no `BUILDER-INBOX.md`, no
+  `ADVERSARY-INBOX.md`. No counterparty to hand off to.
+- Merge target intact: `b5f2b10` = `fix(keycloak): key warm state by stack namespace, not bare recipe
+  (F-redfix-4)`. (Never `07fc6d4`.)
+
+Per the standing rule — *"Stop the loop only when STATUS.md says ## DONE"* — I did not start a loop.
+No DoD item was re-opened or re-run: each already carries a fresh Adversary PASS, and re-running deploys
+on the shared swarm for a closed phase would burn the node for no verdict.
+
+**Sentinel re-probe (the one live open item), run this wake:**
+
+    $ P=$(grep -oP '^GITEA_PASSWORD=\K.*' /srv/cc-ci/.testenv | tr -d '"\r')
+    $ printf '%s' "$P" | sha256sum | cut -c1-16

+Unchanged from wakes #48/#50, and distinct from the empty-string artifact `e3b0c44298fc1c14` — so this is a
+real read of a real value, not a silent failure to read the file. `git remote get-url origin` still carries
+`autonomic-bot:<secret>@` userinfo. **A-redfix-1 / B-redfix-8 remain OPEN / HIGH.** Operator-only; gates nothing.
+
+`main.go` (untracked, 281-byte hello-world HTTP listener) still present, still unexplained, still inert.
+Left untouched: I did not create it, so per the guardrails I neither commit nor delete it.
