Updates the arc handoff and clears its size ceiling.

What changed in the world

  • 🔴 The appblocks-drift sweep is GREEN — 0 failing steps at run 34765344965, with 15 steps executed as the positive control so the zero is a reading and not a job that ran nothing. developer-docs#76 auto-closed, which also shows #77's reporting fix works in the green direction and not only the red one. Trajectory: 7 failing steps → 2 → 0. Last green scheduled run before today was 2026-08-11; 34 consecutive red scheduled runs ended.
  • developer-docs#80 merged after a 7-round audit ladder, verified by content rather than ancestry.
  • 🔴 Rank 14 is RECLASSIFIED, not done. cli-snapshot-refresh went green by skippingbuild-cli and refresh were both SKIPPED because the snapshot matched v0.1.104. The bot-PR org policy is untouched and the next civitai/cli release re-triggers it. Filed as developer-docs#82 with a closing condition a refresh: skipped run cannot satisfy.
  • Three civitai/cli PRs (#585, #590, #591) were found open, CLEAN and 13/13 green, created today by concurrent sessions. Claimed and under audit as new ranks 16-18.

Why the second commit exists

This update put the doc at 75,598 B against a 65,536 B ceiling. test_no_handoff_doc_exceeds_its_budget reds main for everyone when that happens, so it had to be fixed in the same session — in the order that test's own playbook prescribes: evict what has closed first, raise a number last.

15 closed investigation blocks moved verbatim to claudedocs/refs/external-issue-513-numeric-username.md, with a pointer left behind. Nothing was deleted — 39,117 B of handoff plus 27,116 B of refs against the original 65,019 B.

They are kept verbatim rather than summarised because a superseded reading is evidence that a prior conclusion was corrected, which is what stops the next session re-deriving it. The #513 chain in particular records a diagnosis that was asserted, retracted, and then root-caused.

Still live, so it stayed in the handoff: the #513 root-cause retraction (civitai/civitai#4768 open, 0 comments), the developer-docs#61 non-reproduction, and the TAB-vs-newline forgery lesson.

Three process traps recorded in Gotchas

Each was invisible in the reassuring direction:

  1. audit-dispatch.py without --repo reads the cwd's repo — dispatching for civitai-developer-docs#80 from a cli checkout read cli#80, which exists, and reported "0 comments".
  2. An audit-claims fence missing round=/audited= in its header silently anchors the next round on an older block, widening the "delta" across two rounds of fixes. Stderr-only warning.
  3. A workflow that goes green by skipping is not fixedsuccess over a skipped job and over a completed one are the same word.

The handoff hit its 65,536 B ceiling (75,598 B with this session's update, over
by 10,062 B). `test_no_handoff_doc_exceeds_its_budget` goes red on `main` when
that happens, and it fails for everyone — the next unrelated PR inherits it.

Fixed in the order that test's own playbook prescribes: evict what has CLOSED
first, raising a number last. Nothing was deleted — 39,117 B of handoff plus
27,116 B of refs against the original 65,019 B, the excess being the new file's
header and the pointer left behind.

Every demoted block is closed: either superseded by a block still in the handoff,
or resolved by a merge recorded in the handoff's own SHA ledger. They are kept
verbatim rather than summarised because a superseded reading is evidence that a
prior conclusion was CORRECTED, which is the half that stops the next session
re-deriving it — the #513 chain in particular records a diagnosis that was
asserted, retracted and then root-caused.

What stayed, because it is still live: the #513 root-cause retraction (civitai
#4768 is open with 0 comments), the developer-docs#61 non-reproduction (open),
the TAB-vs-newline forgery lesson, and this session's new blocks.
