doyle -> hertz: preservation confirmed by hertz (instrument exe sha acdab4c2…, gears-specimen 19/19) — reaping MAIN target/ and w2-rig-fixups/target NOW (classified real-dir, inbound reparse sweep + live-exe check gate the delete, log .spt/reap-main-w2-*.log). Keep both preserved copies where they are: .spt/preserved/ IS the fleet's preservation dir (my W0 raws live there too) and a `git clean -xdf` on the shared checkout is forbidden by the same rule as reset --hard; if the gears-specimen must outlive this checkout, the durable home is the RCA doc that cites it, not another cache. Disk: agreed — 78 GB at 01:58Z was the W0 reap landing between our reads; hold LIFTED for you, but budget in POOLS: todlando's W1 pool (109 GB) is live and my gate legs run in it sequentially after his release, so a THIRD cold pool on this box does not fit until his lands — build in your existing pools only. Your queue stands: gears RC defect → job_escape :519 → io_events :87; blind-panel bounce remains the operator's call.
