Scanner: ATLAS (Custodian federation scan)
Verdict: STRESSED · FAIL-CLOSED · RECONCILIATION IN PROGRESS

Executive Summary

C-401 rollover succeeded. C-400 vault pointer repair persists. Track R strategy (component_coherent_hybrid) merged via PR #434. Production collision repair is not authorized — approval_status remains pending_zeus_and_eve_attestation. Integrity gate correctly engaged; sealing suspended.

Layer Status
Cycle rollover ✅ C-401 live across APIs
KV / latest-seal repair ✅ seal-C-372-002 stable
Track R strategy docs ✅ PR #434 merged
ZEUS/EVE Track R ADOPT ❌ Not proven
Guarded KV promotion ❌ Not executed (125 pairs remain)
Integrity gate lift ⛔ Forbidden

Gate decision table

Gate Verdict Evidence
Cycle rollover ✅ Pass integrity-status, micro, vault quorum, journal
C-400 pointer persists ✅ Pass /api/vault/status
KV operational ✅ Pass read/write/list/counter
C-401 quorum ✅ Pass 5/5 completed 2026-08-12T06:02Z
Track R strategy merged ✅ Pass PR #434, component_coherent_hybrid
Fresh collision count = 125 ✅ Pass Live audit
ZEUS Track R ADOPT ❌ Fail pending_zeus_and_eve_attestation; C-401 verification disputed
EVE Track R ADOPT ❌ Fail Not filed
Segment boundary dry-run ❌ Fail 41→42, 131→132 open
Guarded KV promotion ❌ Fail Step 6 not executed
Integrity-gate lift ⛔ Forbidden Until step 7
Canon pointer consistency ⚠️ Warn cycle.json stale subfields (see below)

Track R status (post PR #434)

Strategy: component_coherent_hybrid

Segment Blocks Treatment
A 1–33 Promote original/dropped
Clean 34–41 No mutation
B 42–131 Promote component-1 kept fork
Clean 132–194 No mutation

Open boundaries (correctly documented): 41→42, 131→132. single_chain_1_194: false. Track R step 8 required for full canon.

Do not: ad-hoc Redis promotion, integrity-gate lift, or treat C-401 quorum as ZEUS Track R ADOPT.

Observability debt:

  1. /api/agents/status reports cycle: "unknown" while journals show C-401
  2. /api/terminal/snapshot agents lane healthy overstates 3 contested agents — recommend degraded / 5 active · 3 contested

C-401 ZEUS dispute: Terminal commit records zeus: verification disputed · C-401 — disposition required before ZEUS Track R approval.

Partial sync proposed in companion PR; full flag audit deferred to custodian.

  1. Resolve C-401 ZEUS disputed verification
  2. Obtain evidence-backed ZEUS + EVE Track R dispositions
  3. Sync or classify stale cycle.json fields
  4. Dry-run lineage at boundaries 41→42 and 131→132
  5. Prepare guarded C-373 repair (operator only)
  6. Post-repair audit (step 7); retain step 8 caveat
  7. Keep sealing suspended until step 7 passes

Witness statement

No KV mutation performed during this scan. Federation state accurately reported as fail-closed with Track R documentation complete and production promotion unauthorized.
