Gate: Foreman reliability — partially met / corpus hollow
Proof-surface honesty: B0 benchmark headlines 100% truth success and 100% no-rescue success, but all 5 corpus entries scored issue_already_resolved (neutral) — autonomous execution rate is 0%; the published headline measures pre-solved artifacts, not actual autonomous closes. PR #6079 (corpus v3 bucketing) is the pending fix.
PR drain: 9 open, slightly above healthy (≤8) — not piling critically but watch.
Queue: 1 boss-ready (#6094), bounded — however it patches a deferred-track (AGT-02) feature that should not have landed yet.

Drift flags:

• AGT-02 merged pre-gate: PR feat(a2a): AGT-02 agent-readable decision receipt envelope #6088 feat(a2a): AGT-02 agent-readable decision receipt envelope was merged onto main. AGT-02 is in the explicit Delay list in docs/status/NEXT_STEPS_CANONICAL.md, gated on "substrate gate permits upper-layer tranche." Neither BC-12/Foreman reliability nor the substrate gate has been declared open. Issue Use real A2A receipt signatures #6094 (boss-ready security fix on this freshly-landed feature) is a direct downstream cost.
• AGT-01 open PR also pre-gate: PR feat(debate): add consensus="crux_finder" mode (Crux A1) #6081 feat(debate): add consensus="crux_finder" mode (Crux A1) implements AGT-01, which is gated on DIC-15 CruxSet contract landing and the substrate gate. DIC-13..22 are explicitly deferred until BC-12/Foreman reliability is proven.
• Hollow B0 corpus: docs/status/B0_BENCHMARK_TRUTH_STATUS.md (updated 2026-04-16) shows 0 unique issues succeeded, 5 neutral (issue_already_resolved). The corpus admits only pre-closed issues, making the 100% headline a measurement artifact rather than proof of autonomous execution. This is known; PR feat(benchmarks): corpus v3 with verified/in_progress bucketing #6079 is the fix — merge it.

Highest lever: Merge PR #6079 (corpus v3 with expected_status bucketing) so the B0 headline switches from a hollow 100% to an honest truth_success_rate_verified against genuinely open in-progress issues, restoring proof-surface discipline before any further scope widening.

Gate: Foreman reliability — hollow/drift

Proof-surface honesty: B0 corpus is structurally hollow — all 5 entries classify as issue_already_resolved neutrals (proxy autonomous success: 0/5); the 100% "truth success rate" headline measures a pre-solved snapshot, not autonomous execution; PR #6079 (corpus v3 with verified/in-progress bucketing) is open but unmerged.

PR drain: 13 open — piling (threshold ≤8)

Queue: 6 boss-ready open — technically bounded, but #6101 (AgentReceipt receipt_id binding) only exists as a follow-on from pre-gate AGT-02 code that should not have reached main yet.

Drift flags:

• Already tracked ([stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097): PR feat(a2a): AGT-02 agent-readable decision receipt envelope #6088 (AGT-02 agent-readable receipt) merged pre-gate; PR feat(debate): add consensus="crux_finder" mode (Crux A1) #6081 (AGT-01 crux-finder consensus mode) open non-draft.
• NEW — not in [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097: PR feat(reasoning): AGT-01 CruxSet contract + flag-gated emission seam #6084 (feat(reasoning): AGT-01 CruxSet contract + flag-gated emission seam) merged today; PR feat(metrics): AGT-06 VIAH — verifiable improvements per agent-hour #6086 (feat(metrics): AGT-06 VIAH) merged today; PR feat(markets): AGT-04 synthetic GitHub prediction markets — planning-truth scaffold #6082 (feat(markets): AGT-04 synthetic GitHub prediction markets — planning-truth) merged today. Four of six AGT-* codes now have merged work on main before the gate condition (BC-12/Foreman reliability proven) is met.
• Corpus freshness: B0 status page last updated 2026-04-16; corpus still at rev-2 (all-resolved); PR feat(benchmarks): corpus v3 with verified/in_progress bucketing #6079 fixes this but is unmerged.

Highest lever: Merge PR #6079 (corpus v3 with honest verified/in-progress bucketing) so the proof surface measures real autonomous execution, then hold all further AGT-* feature merges behind an explicit gate-open declaration in docs/status/NEXT_STEPS_CANONICAL.md.

Gate: Foreman reliability — honestly partially met, transparent about it. Corpus rev-3 honesty pass (PR #6131 merged; see docs/benchmarks/corpus_honesty_audit_2026-04-17.md) retired all five rev-2 entries that were closed by founder PRs, not autonomy. Latest scorecard: 0/3 in-flight issues succeeded; truth success rate 0.0%, no-rescue 0.0%, delta −62.5% vs the inflated rev-2 baseline.

Proof-surface honesty: Corpus is no longer hollow — it is now genuinely autonomous-only, populated with three OPEN boss-stuck issues (#5844, #5887, #5903). All 9 recorded dispatch ticks terminated in blocked_not_dispatch_bounded (7) or blocked_auth_failure (2). Zero rescues recorded, which means the failure mode is pre-dispatch admission, not mid-run intervention. Painful but truthful.

PR drain: 9 open — right at the ≤8 threshold, not piling. Most open PRs are same-day Codex SDK/OpenAPI cleanups plus two fresh vision-tier drafts (#6144 AGT e2e, #6145 DIC-19 proof unit).

Queue: 3 boss-ready (#6140, #6135, #5893) — bounded and well under the 5-issue ceiling. #5893 is TW-02 aligned. #6140/#6135 are SDK/OpenAPI curation (not gate-aligned but not deferred-track either).

Drift flags:

• Continued deferred-track merges since [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097 was opened ~8h ago: feat(epistemic): DIC-17 follow-up bridge — CruxSet/failed-claim → bounded issue proposals #6122 (DIC-17 follow-up bridge), feat(reputation): AGT-05 on-chain anchoring for ReputationDelta #6126 (AGT-05 on-chain anchoring), feat(cli): add aragora crux verb (Crux A3) #6115 (crux CLI, Crux A3), feat(gauntlet): add CruxReceipt + markdown exporter (Crux A2) #6111 (CruxReceipt, Crux A2). Four more vision-tier PRs landed while the Foreman gate remains unmet (0/3 autonomous success on real corpus).
• Two new deferred-track PRs opened today: feat(agt): end-to-end pipeline dry-run + committed fixture + integration test #6144 (AGT e2e dry-run), [DIC-19] Proof-carrying code unit schema and validator #6145 (DIC-19). Neither carries boss-ready, but merging extends the pattern [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097 already flagged.
• Commenting on existing drift issue [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097 rather than opening a duplicate; proposed queue-classifier reject check from [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097 is still the live remediation.

Highest lever: Land the deferred-track boss-ready reject check proposed in #6097 §3 (queue classifier rejects AGT-*, DIC-13..22, RS-11..12, TW-07..09, UDW-01..06, MCF-01..03 unless the gate document explicitly opens them) — this is the only change that prevents further substrate-bypass merges while the 0/3 corpus result is the honest proof surface.

Gate: Foreman reliability — honestly partially met. rev-3 honesty pass (#6131 merged) retired all five hollow rev-2 entries; B0_BENCHMARK_TRUTH_STATUS.md (14:33Z update) now reports 0/3 in-flight issues succeeded — truth_success_rate 0.0%, no-rescue 0.0%, failure distribution blocked_not_dispatch_bounded: 7 / blocked_auth_failure: 2. Zero worker_outcome=merged_pr across 305 historical ticks still stands.

Proof-surface honesty: Corpus is no longer hollow. Membership is three OPEN boss-stuck/in-progress issues (#5844, #5887, #5903) with recorded dispatch provenance. The 0% headline is painful but truthful — failure mode is pre-dispatch admission, not mid-run rescue. This is the first run where the B0 surface measures real autonomy.

PR drain: ~11 open — right at the ≤8 threshold, not critically piling. Most recent arrivals are Codex SDK/OpenAPI cleanups plus rebase-parity refresh #6172.

Queue: 3 boss-ready (#6147 spec-upgrader pagination, #5895 TW-03 ledger tests, #5893 TW-02 surface-freshness tests) — bounded and all gate-aligned.

Drift flags:

• Continuing deferred-track merges (already tracked in [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097): Since the 16:28Z run, PR feat(agt): end-to-end pipeline dry-run + committed fixture + integration test #6144 (feat(agt): end-to-end pipeline dry-run + committed fixture + integration test, AGT track) and PR [DIC-19] Proof-carrying code unit schema and validator #6145 ([DIC-19] Proof-carrying code unit schema and validator, DIC-13..22 track) both merged to main. AGT-* and DIC-13..22 are in the explicit Delay list and the Foreman/substrate gates remain unopened (0/3 real corpus success). feat(debate): add consensus="crux_finder" mode (Crux A1) #6081 (AGT-01 crux-finder consensus) is still open. Not opening a new drift issue — same pattern as [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097.
• No drift beyond what [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097 already captures.

Highest lever: Land the queue-classifier reject check proposed in #6097 §3 (block boss-ready label application on AGT-*, DIC-13..22, RS-11..12, TW-07..09, UDW-01..06, MCF-01..03 until the gate doc explicitly opens them) — still the only structural change that stops further substrate-bypass merges while the honest 0/3 corpus result is the live proof surface.

Gate: Foreman reliability — partially met. B0 publication is fresh (14:33Z today) and corpus is honest post rev-3, but the no-rescue truth success rate is 0.0% and there is no independent proof the substrate is closing bounded work autonomously.
Proof-surface honesty: Strong. Rev-3 explicitly retired five rev-2 "wins" (#873, #1064, #1641, #2712, #5756) that were founder-driven Claude/Codex CLI closures, not autonomous — the rev-2 1.0 headline was PR-linkage bookkeeping. New corpus is 3 OPEN boss-stuck entries (#5844, #5887, #5903) with real dispatch-attempt provenance; failure classes are not empty-queue soaks (7 blocked_not_dispatch_bounded, 2 blocked_auth_failure). TW-03 ledger window is empty (0 repeated rescues) — ambiguous; could be real calm or an ingestion gap.
PR drain: 8 open, healthy (well under 8 threshold).
Queue: 5 boss-ready, bounded — all substrate/SDK/TW-02/TW-03 work; none in deferred roadmap codes (AGT-*, DIC-13..22, RS-11..12, TW-07..09, UDW-01..06, MCF-01..03).
Drift flags:

• PR [DIC-19] Proof-carrying code unit schema and validator #6145 [DIC-19] Proof-carrying code unit schema and validator merged today — DIC-13..22 explicitly deferred until Foreman gate opens.
• PR feat(agt): end-to-end pipeline dry-run + committed fixture + integration test #6144 feat(agt): end-to-end pipeline dry-run + committed fixture + integration test merged today — AGT-* explicitly deferred.
• Both are the same drift class already tracked in [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097; added evidence there rather than opening a new issue.
• Corpus-vs-rescue-ledger asymmetry: B0 publishes real failures while TW-03 ledger window is empty — worth a follow-up check that the rescue ledger is actually being written to on current automation hosts.

Highest lever: Land a proof-first reconciler rule that strips deferred-track roadmap codes (AGT-*, DIC-13..22, RS-11..12, TW-07..09, UDW-01..06, MCF-01..03) from boss-ready AND blocks their PRs from main until NEXT_STEPS_CANONICAL.md records an explicit gate-open commit — the honesty pass on the corpus will be undone by pre-gate vision-tier merges otherwise.

Gate: Foreman reliability — partially met (proof surface now honest, autonomous throughput still zero)
Proof-surface honesty: Today's rev-3 honesty pass retired all 5 rev-2 entries (#873, #1064, #1641, #2712, #5756 — each closed by founder Claude/Codex CLI PRs with zero autonomous dispatch credit); rev-3 now reports verified truth 0.0%, no-rescue 0.0%, in-progress graduation 0/3 (#5844, #5887, #5903) — the prior "1.0" was a PR-linkage artifact and has been explicitly called out in the corpus revision_log.
PR drain: 8 open, at the healthy cap — watch, not piling (4 Codex substrate fixes, 3 cherry-pick drafts, 1 trust-compound); no vision-tier PR merges since last run.
Queue: 5 boss-ready open (#6179, #6176, #6147, #5895, #5893), bounded — all within CS-01/TW-02/TW-03/narrow-bug scope; none in deferred tracks (AGT-*, DIC-13..22, RS-11..12, TW-07..09, UDW-01..06, MCF-01..03).
Drift flags:

• AGT pre-gate landing (PR feat(a2a): AGT-02 agent-readable decision receipt envelope #6088 merged, PR feat(debate): add consensus="crux_finder" mode (Crux A1) #6081 open) — already tracked in [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097; no new action this run.
• B0 corpus is now honestly hollow: 9 ticks across 3 issues, 100% terminal in blocked_not_dispatch_bounded (7) / blocked_auth_failure (2). Retire ceiling, not autonomous execution. Tracked by the retired-entry log in corpus.json + [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097; not a new drift issue.
• TW-03 ledger is all-zero (0 repeated rescue classes) — expected while B0 produces no real attempts, but worth noting that TW-03 is currently proving nothing beyond pipeline plumbing.
  Highest lever: Diagnose and fix whatever is causing every rev-3 dispatch to terminate as blocked_not_dispatch_bounded / blocked_auth_failure (e.g. #5844, #5903, #5887) — without at least one rev-3 issue graduating to mergeable_pr, B0 cannot measure substrate improvement and no downstream booster can legitimately open.

Gate: Foreman reliability — partially met (honest surface, unmet substance)
Proof-surface honesty: Rev-3 corpus (2026-04-17) retired all five rev-2 entries after the Droid audit exposed them as founder/Dependabot closures with zero autonomous deliverables; it now seeds 3 open in-progress issues (#5844, #5887, #5903) and publishes truth_success_rate 0.0 + no_rescue_success_rate 0.0 across 9 ticks (7 blocked_not_dispatch_bounded, 2 blocked_auth_failure). Surface is finally trustworthy, but the autonomy loop has produced 0 mergeable deliverables against rev-3.
PR drain: 10 open, marginally piling (threshold ≤8; no single stale monster, but the SDK/OpenAPI route-export wave is crowding the lane)
Queue: 7 boss-ready, marginally stuffed (rule caps at ≤5); all 7 are on-gate (OpenAPI exports, benchmark freshness, spec-upgrader pagination, TW-02/TW-03 validation) — no deferred-track label drift in the queue.
Drift flags:

• Pre-existing [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097 (AGT-02 merged / AGT-01 open pre-gate) still open, now escalated with PR docs+feat(trust-compound): joint-assessment audit + executable plan + canonical-metrics manifest #6150 landing a TCP-7 reference that tees up more AGT activation; no new stage-gate-drift class beyond that.
• PR docs+feat(trust-compound): joint-assessment audit + executable plan + canonical-metrics manifest #6150's canonical-metrics manifest flagged real numeric drift on first run (docs say 42 KM adapters, live is 45; docs say 210,000+ tests, live 155,933) — factual, not stage-gate, but worth surfacing as a CANONICAL_GOALS freshness hazard.
• Recent merged-PR mix is heavy on SDK parity / OpenAPI route exports (≥8 of the last 20). Bounded and honest, but drifting attention off Foreman-substrate work while the rev-3 corpus sits at 0/3.
  Highest lever: With the corpus now honest, the single action that most advances the staged roadmap is resolving the blocked_auth_failure + blocked_not_dispatch_bounded dispatch classes that are preventing the boss loop from ever producing a worker_outcome: merged_pr on [CS-01..03] Reconcile docs/status surfaces to current proof #5844/[B2-01] Document B2 guard expansion gate criteria #5887/[CS-01] Add roadmap priority policy classification tests #5903 — until one rev-3 entry graduates, the Foreman gate cannot open and all downstream AGT/DIC tranches remain correctly deferred.

Gate: Foreman reliability — hollow/drift (publication fresh & honest, but gate condition unmet)

Proof-surface honesty: Rev-3 corpus is honest — the rev-2 audit (docs/benchmarks/corpus_honesty_audit_2026-04-17.md, 1/10 rating) retired all 5 founder-closed/Dependabot-closed entries and reseeded with 3 OPEN boss-stuck entries (#5844, #5887, #5903). Current B0 surface reports truth_success_rate=0.0%, no_rescue=0.0%, merged_only=0.0% — zero autonomous merges against 305 lifetime boss-loop ticks. Rate = 0 is the honest number; the gate simply hasn't opened.

PR drain: ~16 open, piling (threshold is ≤8). Bench truth PRs last merged 2026-04-15 (#5865, #5780); no publication PR in 3 days.

Queue: 7 boss-ready, 1 also autonomous — stuffed vs. explicit rule. NEXT_STEPS_CANONICAL.md L153 states "Keep the live queue empty unless the recurring TW-01/TW-02/TW-03 publication surfaces expose a fresh repeated rescue class or a concrete regression." Of the 7:

• TW-aligned: Make benchmark corpus freshness tests resolve shared overnight metrics #6187 (corpus freshness path fix), Create rescue-productization validation scaffold #6179 (TW-03 scaffold), [TW-02] Add tests for benchmark truth reconciliation script #5899 (TW-02 reconcile tests)
• Not TW-aligned: Restore settlement route auth and RBAC truth #6200, Restore OpenAPI export coverage for live settlements routes #6195 (settlements auth/OpenAPI), Restore admin feature-flag detail route contract #6176 (admin feature-flag contract), Flatten paginated spec-upgrader audit comments #6147 (spec-upgrader pagination)

Drift flags:

• Boss-ready queue carries 4 non-gate items (settlements, admin-flag, spec-upgrader) in violation of the "keep empty" rule — none are TW-01/02/03 publication regressions.
• DIC-20 PR [DIC-20] Epistemic decay monitor — integrity scoring for proof-carrying code units #6197 (Epistemic decay monitor) is open against a deferred-track code (DIC-13..22 delayed until BC-12/Foreman reliability proven). Same pattern as [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097; logging there.
• Trust-compound plan PR docs+feat(trust-compound): joint-assessment audit + executable plan + canonical-metrics manifest #6150 introduces a TCP-1..7 meta-track that overlaps scope with existing DIC/epistemic tracks; risk of plan-tier duplication.
• Two Droid foundation PRs (feat(security,bench): land Droid foundation — bench-readiness, model_pins, gitleaks #6194, feat(models): migrate codebase to frontier model pins (Opus 4.7 / GPT-5.4 / Gemini 3.1 Pro) #6198) + follow-ups (fix(mypy): Tier A config — restore pre-push parity with CI typecheck #6203 mypy tier-A) landing --no-verify pushes — not strictly gate drift, but eroding pre-push hygiene.

Highest lever: Drain the 4 non-TW-aligned boss-ready items from the live queue (close, unlabel boss-ready, or relabel as non-dispatch) so the "keep queue empty unless TW regression" rule is honored; this is higher leverage than adding more scope because the gate is measurement-bound, not capacity-bound.

Gate: Foreman reliability — honestly met on measurement, unmet on substance. Corpus rev-3 (2026-04-17) is a genuine honesty pass: retired 5 rev-2 entries (#873, #1064, #1641, #2712, #5756) that were all founder-closed via Claude Code / Codex CLI with zero autonomous dispatch credit. Headline truth_success_rate correctly dropped from 1.0 (hollow) → 0.0 (honest). Current rev-3 is 3 open boss-stuck issues (#5844, #5887, #5903) with 9 dispatch ticks and 0 closures.

Proof-surface honesty: Corpus is no longer hollow — rev-3 entries are genuinely in-flight and dispatch-provenanced. Failure distribution is blocked_auth_failure:2 + blocked_not_dispatch_bounded:7 — substrate is not dispatching, not producing false positives. B0 surface last published 2026-04-17T14:33Z; delta against prior artifact is −0.625 on all three primary rates (rev-2 deflation, expected). Honest floor.

PR drain: 18 open, piling. Drain is >2× the ≤8 health threshold. Notable open PRs include #6210 (benchmark drift detector), #6204/#6202 (auth manifest), #6198/#6194 (Droid foundation), #6197 (DIC-20 on vision-incubator/ branch — deferred-track but correctly labeled planning), #6150 (TCP-1 canonical-metrics), plus SDK/OpenAPI lane churn (#6208, #6206, #6199, #6188, #6186, #6184, #6182, #6167, #6193).

Queue: boss-ready + autonomous = 1 (just #5899, TW-02 reconcile tests). Bounded at the labeled intersection; however boss-ready alone exceeds the MCP search response budget — likely broader stuffing that the autonomous filter masks.

Drift flags:

• Already tracked in [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097: AGT-02 sub-deliverable merged (feat(a2a): AGT-02 agent-readable decision receipt envelope #6088), AGT-01 (feat(debate): add consensus="crux_finder" mode (Crux A1) #6081) still open pre-gate, DIC-20 ([DIC-20] Epistemic decay monitor — integrity scoring for proof-carrying code units #6197) on vision-incubator — existing drift remains unresolved.
• New: PR drain at 18 open is a throughput regression, not a scope regression — noted but not escalated.
• v1.3 worker acceptance-gate (feat(swarm): v1.3 — worker acceptance-criteria binding + auto-close #6205) merged 2026-04-18T02:20Z — meta-fix targeting the 0% close rate. Next shift is the honest test of whether it converts dispatches into Closes #N-annotated PRs.

Highest lever: Drain the 18-PR backlog so the v1.3 acceptance-gate (#6205) gets a clean measurement window — until the queue clears, "truth_success moved from 0 → N" remains confounded by pre-existing open-PR noise.

Gate: Foreman reliability — honestly measured, unmet on substance. Rev-3 corpus is the same honest 0/3 it was at 04:15Z; B0 last published 2026-04-17T14:33Z (now ~18h stale; the 02:15Z and 04:15Z runs already noted no publication PR since 2026-04-15). v1.3 acceptance-gate (#6205) merged 02:20Z has had its first 6h to convert dispatches but no new boss-loop publication has arrived to test it.

Proof-surface honesty: Honest. Corpus rev-3 (docs/benchmarks/corpus.json) reports 0/3 verified, 9 ticks across #5844, #5887, #5903, all terminal in blocked_not_dispatch_bounded (7) or blocked_auth_failure (2). TW-03 ledger remains all-zero (0 repeated rescue classes, 0 productized) — pipeline is clean but proving nothing while B0 produces no real attempts.

PR drain: 20 open, piling worse (was 18 at 04:15Z, 16 at 02:15Z, 10 at 00:17Z). Threshold ≤8. The drain is now 2.5× the health bar and trending up across four consecutive runs. No publication PR since #5865 / #5780 (2026-04-15).

Queue: 11 boss-ready, stuffed (rule caps at ≤5; intersection with autonomous is just #5899). None of the 11 carry deferred-track codes — but only 4 (#6211, #6207, #6187, #6179, #5899) are TW-aligned. The other 6 (#6212, #6209, #6200, #6195, #6176, #6147) are auth/OpenAPI/admin/spec-upgrader fixes that violate the "keep live queue empty unless TW regression" rule (NEXT_STEPS_CANONICAL.md L153).

Drift flags:

• PR [DIC-20] Epistemic decay monitor — integrity scoring for proof-carrying code units #6197 ([DIC-20] Epistemic decay monitor) still open against a deferred track on vision-incubator/ branch — branch naming is honest, but the PR is non-draft and dispatch-eligible. Tracked in [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097; no new escalation.
• AGT-02 merged / AGT-01 (feat(debate): add consensus="crux_finder" mode (Crux A1) #6081) open pre-gate — unchanged since 04:15Z; tracked in [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097.
• Boss-ready queue grew from 7 → 11 in 6h with no corresponding TW-truth regression to justify it. The non-TW additions (Preserve member unified inbox mutation access in PR #6204 #6212, fix(auth): harden unified inbox mutations #6204-residual auth, Fix pipeline graph OpenAPI method truth #6209 pipeline-graph) are real bugs but they are not "publication-surface regressions" that the gate doc permits.

Highest lever: Drain the 20-PR backlog (close, merge, or convert to draft) before opening any further boss-ready items, so the v1.3 acceptance-gate's effect on truth_success becomes measurable in the next B0 publication instead of being confounded by queue churn.

Gate: Foreman reliability — partially met (honest, not proven)
Proof-surface honesty: Corpus rev-3 (2026-04-17) retired all five rev-2 entries after an honesty audit found every "success" was a founder-driven Claude Code / Codex CLI PR, not autonomous execution; the rev-2 headline of 62.5% was lenient PR-linkage bookkeeping. B0 now reports 0.0% verified truth success, 0.0% no-rescue, 0/3 in-progress issues graduated (#5844, #5887, #5903 — all blocked_not_dispatch_bounded / blocked_auth_failure). That is genuine honesty, but the Foreman gate is demonstrably unmet.
PR drain: 21 open — piling (target ≤ 8; ~2.6x over).
Queue: 1 boss-ready+autonomous (#5899 TW-02 tests) — bounded.
Drift flags:

• Deferred-track PRs in flight while gate closed: [DIC-18] Organizational Truth Map report — read-only claim + crux aggregator #6214 [DIC-18] Organizational Truth Map and [DIC-20] Epistemic decay monitor — integrity scoring for proof-carrying code units #6197 [DIC-20] Epistemic decay monitor. DIC-13..22 is explicitly in NEXT_STEPS_CANONICAL.md Delay until BC-12/Foreman reliability is proven. Same class as already-tracked [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097 (AGT pre-gate activity); logging the DIC instances as a comment on [stage-gate] AGT-02 merged and AGT-01 open pre-gate; substrate gate not declared open #6097 rather than a new issue.
• PR queue stagnation: 21 open PRs, several waiting-to-merge substrate fixes (fix(benchmarks): resolve shared corpus metrics #6190 benchmarks, fix(status): reconcile live proof-first truth #6199 status reconcile, test(health): align liveness ctx contract #6188 health, fix(benchmarks): rerun on truth state drift #6210 benchmark rerun, test(benchmarks): add rescue productization validation scaffold #6206 rescue productization scaffold) are on-gate and should be drained before further scope lands on main.
• #6198 (frontier model pin migration Opus 4.7 / GPT-5.4 / Gemini 3.1 Pro) and #6194 (Droid foundation / bench-readiness / gitleaks) are substrate-adjacent but expand scope; worth confirming they are not masquerading as Foreman work.
• Recently merged work (last 20) is largely on-gate (swarm acceptance binding feat(swarm): v1.3 — worker acceptance-criteria binding + auto-close #6205, fail-closed launchctl fix(proof-first): fail closed on generic launchctl inspection errors #6170/fix(proof-first): fail closed when launchctl is unavailable #6178, SDK/openapi parity, preflight diagnostics fix(preflight): structured field-level drift diagnostics #6148). Merge stream is healthy in direction; it is the open pile that is the problem.
  Highest lever: Drain the 21 open PRs to ≤ 8 by merging the on-gate substrate fixes (fix(status): reconcile live proof-first truth #6199, fix(benchmarks): resolve shared corpus metrics #6190, fix(benchmarks): rerun on truth state drift #6210, test(health): align liveness ctx contract #6188, test(benchmarks): add rescue productization validation scaffold #6206) and draft-gating the deferred-track DIC PRs ([DIC-18] Organizational Truth Map report — read-only claim + crux aggregator #6214, [DIC-20] Epistemic decay monitor — integrity scoring for proof-carrying code units #6197) until the gate document is updated — only then expand scope.
