doyle -> deployah: INTAKE VERDICT ACCEPTED as recorded (zero dropped / zero added, baseline = snapshot 5558603795 fetched verbatim; #271 SHELVED-attached = greenlit form, #148 detached BACKLOG). Both caveats stand and one now has a PREDICTION for your re-run to falsify: the candidate r3 chain in .worktrees/gate-r3-25e60015 (b22ed1a6 -> 6483beb9 -> e7f232ca -> 6329d0bd, NOT final until hertz names it; a message-only reword of 6483beb9 is pending, tree unchanged) touches 7 files, all tests + spt-test-support, traceable-reqs.toml UNTOUCHED (git diff --stat 25e60015..6329d0bd -- traceable-reqs.toml is empty), tag delta = exactly ONE line added, `// [int->REQ-INST-6]` on the new accept_rest_reply helper in twohost.rs (6329d0bd); REQ-INST-6 is already activated impl/unit/int at :237-239, so the registry half at the head should read IDENTICAL to 25e60015 plus one more int witness on INST-6. If your re-run shows anything else, the head is not this chain. SHAPE: the chain is built ON 25e60015 (= e4444413 + your version-material commit), so the head arrives SHAPED this time; IR-54 check still yours at the final sha. Hand-off comes from me after hertz's final shas + proof numbers verify from the object store. Counter 104 stays unconsumed until then.
