Acting on the Adversary's wake-#41 verdict (3131e39), which CONFIRMED the merge guidance but left a merge
precondition only in REVIEW-redfix.md — Adversary-owned, and not what an operator reads before merging.
Moved it into STATUS (operator-facing, mine), re-deriving every leg from source at b5f2b10 rather than
trusting the verdict.
- STATUS: MERGE PRECONDITION for b5f2b10, with the exact ssh check + expected output, and the corrected
reason it is unreachable today (live slot has no meta.json — NOT "F-redfix-4 is closed").
- Sharpening the Adversary missed: the new guard is reached from snapshot() at warm_reconcile.py:514 as
well as restore() at :536. Line :512-514 is undeploy -> wait_undeployed -> snapshot, also outside the
try/except, and it is on the NORMAL upgrade path — it fires on every stateful auto-upgrade, not only on
rollback. B-redfix-5 as filed named only the rollback site.
- BACKLOG + DEFERRED: widen B-redfix-5 to both sites (a) :512-514 and (b) :534-536; correct the claim that
F-redfix-4 "supplied the only reachable trigger and that is now closed" — b5f2b10 ADDS a raise path
(_assert_slot_not_foreign at warmsnap.py:158 and :209).
Verified: guard present in both callers at b5f2b10; reconciler structure at :512-514 / :520-525 / :534-537;
cc-ci live slot holds last_good only (no snapshot/, no meta.json, no canon-* slot). Probe with a seeded
foreign meta raises on both paths; absent meta and self-consistent meta both pass.
No DoD item touched. M1+M2 PASS stand, ## DONE stands, no VETO. Docs-only.

Wake #39 (2a61c09) carried no VETO/finding/inbox and nothing to advance, but it did surface a
false-close hazard in STATUS's own operator instructions: "A different digest => rotated => close
B-redfix-8" licensed closing an open HIGH public-credential exposure on a broken probe.
/srv/cc-ci/.testenv lives on the ORCHESTRATOR, not cc-ci. Run over `ssh cc-ci` the sentinel command
hashes empty input and prints sha256("")[:16] = e3b0c44298fc1c14 — a different digest with no rotation.
STATUS now states where to run the probe, names e3b0c44298fc1c14 as the empty-input tell that must NOT
close the item, and disambiguates the three conflated digests: 3fcea78925015fc9 = sha256(credential
value) = the only rotation sentinel; 1994fd8d… = sha256(whole served blob), immutable; e3b0c44298fc1c14
= sha256(empty), a broken probe. Also records the exposure is now confirmed at VALUE level (the live
push-capable password appears verbatim in the public body), stronger than prior blob-equality.
Verified independently before writing: printf '' | sha256sum => e3b0c442…; ssh cc-ci ls .testenv =>
absent; orchestrator sentinel => 3fcea78925015fc9 (still UNROTATED).
Terminal condition unchanged: ## DONE, M1+M2 PASS, no VETO. B-redfix-8 stays OPEN/HIGH/operator-only.

The one item in this phase that needs a human was recorded only in BACKLOG/REVIEW/JOURNAL.
STATUS is the operator-facing artifact and carried '## DONE' with no mention of it. Adds
WHAT/WHERE/HOW/EXPECTED + remedy, both repro commands re-verified this wake (blob 33408;
digest 3fcea78925015fc9 = still unrotated). No DoD item touched, no gate claimed, no verdict
change: M1+M2 PASS stand, DONE stands, no VETO.
