Owner Loop Hardening §1 Completion, Adversarial Audit, and §2 Evidence-Trail Build

September 2, 2026

Completed and independently audited §1 (canvas schema push, 4 injected-failure tests, 6 real bugs found and fixed), then root-caused and closed 6 of 9 orphaned Owner Loop evidence gaps across MedinaCHF and canvas-2, shipped the evidence-first-then-transition invariant, and built a repeatable consistency-sweep script.

Timeline

Start

Ignition, concurrency check, Charge pickup

Prior session (owner-loop-hardening-charge1) had fully closed with a real retro; picked up its nextItems — canvas DB credentials, §1 injected-failure verification

+20m

Found the canvas DB-owner credentials in root .env.local

Prior session never checked the root env file, only per-app ones; all 4 canvas credentials were there the whole time

+40m

Completed the canvas-1/2/3/4 schema push

Applied the 3 new columns via a real Pool connection, independently verified via information_schema against all 4 real production DBs

+70m

Ran §1's 4 required injected-failure tests

A real mistake happened mid-test (a synthetic row briefly became claimable, triggering a live Actor dispatch) — caught, canceled, and cleanly reverted before continuing. All 4 tests then passed cleanly.

+100m

Ran the Adversarial Build Audit Gate

Independent agent found 6 real, verified bugs — not style nits. Two serious: human_notified_at was NEVER actually set (the notify-ordering fix from the prior session's own §1 build silently didn't work), and a dispatch_status='claimed' row was a genuine unreconciled black hole.

+160m

Fixed and verified all 6 audit findings

Every fix independently verified against real production writes, not just code review — including tracing one apparent test failure to a real timestamp-without-timezone quirk, confirmed NOT present in the actual production write path

+190m

Deployed all 4 canvas apps, fixed a real missing gate:typecheck gap on canvas-1

3 of 4 independently verified live via curl. canvas-1 was missing a script canvas-2/3/4 already had (found 2026-08-31) — added it, matching the existing pattern exactly.

+220m

§2 step 1: root-caused all 5 MedinaCHF missing-terminal-result rows

3 real orphaned candidates (code already on master, evidence stuck on an unmerged ref), 1 false positive (legacy filename), 1 genuine unexplained anomaly (stale actor_run_id, resolve code never touches that column)

+260m

§2 steps 2-3: evidence-first-then-transition + consistency sweep

resolve-owner-intent.mjs now refuses resolved/applied/rejected without a locally-committed, contract-valid terminal-result file first; reordered the Charge template to match; built sweep-owner-loop-evidence-gaps.mjs and proved it against 2 real apps

+290m

Ran the sweep against canvas-2, found and closed 4 more real gaps

3 more orphaned candidates promoted, 1 more false positive root-caused (a runner_tracking_id used in a filename instead of the plain numeric run id)

What shipped

experiments/canvas-1/lib/db/schema.ts, canvas-2/3/4 — schema push completed (3 new columns, all 4 apps, independently verified live)

forgekit-os/scripts/dispatch-owner-loop-requests.mjs — fixed sendZebEscalationEmail's missing return statements (human_notified_at was never set, ever, for any app); added reconcileStaleClaims() closing the dispatch_status='claimed' black hole; reordered the Charge template so the Actor writes+commits its terminal-result file BEFORE calling resolve-owner-intent.mjs for a completed-work disposition

forgekit-os/scripts/record-promotion-outcome.mjs — fixed the guard that silently refused to record promotion_blocked for the most common real path (a BUILD Charge whose Actor already nulled dispatch_status before promotion then failed)

forgekit-os/scripts/resolve-owner-intent.mjs — new evidence-first-then-transition check: refuses resolved/applied/rejected unless a contract-valid terminal-result file already exists locally

forgekit-os/scripts/sweep-owner-loop-evidence-gaps.mjs — new, read-only consistency-sweep script; turns this session's own manual forensic process into a repeatable, on-demand check for any app

experiments/canvas-1/components/RequestPanel.tsx, canvas-2/lib/{owner-loop-stage.ts,request-display.ts}, canvas-3/4/lib/request-display.ts — added the missing promotion_blocked UI case (was falling into default, telling participants "In the queue" for a genuinely blocked row); removed the dead 'failed' case (never written by any code path)

experiments/canvas-1/package.json, scripts/gate-typecheck.mjs — added the missing Deploy Gate transcript script (canvas-2/3/4 already had it from 2026-08-31)

6 orphaned Owner Loop terminal-result files cherry-picked onto master (3 MedinaCHF: 8b902329, 7da2ae29, 2e44ac4b; 3 canvas-2: 13a58515, 8c1e8a98, b218aa1a) — real, verified, evidence-backed Actor work that had been sitting unreachable on orphaned refs/actor-candidates/* refs for 2-4 days

“address the 4 new gaps and continue”
— Zeb, choosing to have the newly-discovered canvas-2 evidence gaps root-caused and closed in the same session rather than deferred, after the sweep script's first real run against a second app surfaced them
