Merge Claude: READY FOR MERGE: PR #1623✓ Jul 13
Docs-only nightly doc-alignment (07-13). CLAUDE_INGESTION_LANE.md Section 0 -> 2026-07-13 + an 'Update 2026-07-12 — EMAIL DOCTRINE CHANGE' block (label = the only email trigger; receiver side complete+deployed across #1605/#1606/#1607; remaining gap = DELIVERY, Principal's n8n/Gmail unlock). No code change.
⏳ Your next 7 days have ~16.0h of unfilled time in 6 chunk(s): 07-18T06:30 (5h30 → “Pick up medication”); 07-17T06:30 (2h30 → “Pick up medication”); 07-14T20:00 (2h → “Pick up medication”); 07-16T20:00 (2h → “Pick up medication”) …. Approve and Witan places usable blocks there — the assigner fills them from your overdue/deadline items and top priorities (any domain, per your grow-block correction). Nothing changes until you do.✓ Jul 13
(no discussion was captured for this one)
🔄 Conditions re-derive (re-rendered by the RTR-60 backfill): ADD “Work Block Conflict”: “IF the Work Block conflicts with the Army schedule THEN check the Army schedule for any conflicts”. Approve and Witan records exactly those; nothing changes until you do.✓ Jul 13
(no discussion was captured for this one)
🔄 “No-Host Social Tuesday” changed — its conditions should re-derive: ADD “No-Host Social Time Conflict”: “IF the No-Host Social time conflicts with the Army schedule THEN check the Army schedule for any conflicts” (why: The No-Host Social time is tentative and may conflict with Army commitments). Approve and Witan records exactly those; nothing changes until you do.✓ Jul 12
(no discussion was captured for this one)
Event critic on “No-Host Social Tuesday”: The event's start time is not specified as 'right after class' or 'at agreed upon time', but rather a fixed time Suggested: Set the start time to 'right after class' or 'at agreed upon time' to match the ask. Propose-only — the event stands until you act.✓ Jul 12
(no discussion was captured for this one)
Why 'Wed July 15' survived every sweep: the creation backstop knew the date-string class; the SWEEP detector (is_bad_title) never learned it. Now one vocabulary for both (lazy, fail-open; real-words-with-a-date-word stay good, pinned) + the sweep's event items carry notes/attendees/location/when into make_title so the rewrite can derive 'Kevin meeting' instead of compressing a date into itself. Propose-only; title_locked sacred. Plus a drifted-fake harness fix (make_title lacked hint_title — the masking class again). 22/22; sweep baseline, 0 non-flake.✓ Jul 12

PR #1615 [RTR-49] apex contrast/consistency fix (gate follow-up on merged #1583, msg_07da1497). The apex accent went muted #6d9a72 but paired green-tint BACKGROUNDS stayed bright emerald rgba(52,211,153)/rgba(16,185,129) + #34d399 literals → muted-green text green-on-green ~3.9:1 (below AA) on ✓Done/review-banner/approve buttons. Muted ALL bright-emerald tints+literals to accent channels rgba(109,154,114)/#6d9a72. Apex now one consistent e-ink green. Verified: zero bright-emerald in rendered apex. 8 tests (2 new + 6 apex-mobile). 1 file (portal.html) + test.✓ Jul 12

Merge #1612 first (this uses its time_prose). Root cause was one line: the deriver's default surrounding=[] — the model never saw a real neighbor and fossilized from ACTIVE CONDITIONS. Now: _window_neighbors default (store events ±1 day, humanized whens, self excluded) + prompt carries {title, when} + deterministic entity veto on trigger/consequence prose (NAME field + grammar openers + schedule vocab exempt — the first cut over-dropped labels, caught per #1332). Rifath/JHU fixture pinned: JHU survives, Jon fossil drops. 21/21; sweep baseline, 0 non-flake.✓ Jul 12

Dismissal = failed comprehension. Layered on #1603: a gate-passing card after a dismissal arrives REWORDED (deterministic decision-first template, identical verbiage floor-checked vs every prior narrative, fold-consequence stated); a dismissed REWRITE retires the class to ONE cascade digest (sentinel seam), never another solo card, digest items carry material_sig so the same state never re-folds; approved priors stay normal; rewrite+prior_dismissals stamped for the RTR-57 learning loop. 38/38 file; sweep baseline, 0 non-flake.✓ Jul 12

EMAIL DOCTRINE part 1 (off-switch, as code). email_loop now label-gates to 'Claude Email Manager'-labeled email only (new shared ops/action_label.py, single source of truth read by the #1509 door too); the always-on scan of unlabeled inbound is OFF. #1590 zero-capture kept. 70 tests pass (ingestion+email_loop+action_label); #1509 door green. Follow-ups (trigger half + reasoning pass + label-delivery) noted in PR body, not in this PR.
HOST PICK: homeserver1 (already has Python 3.12+uv+git+systemd, always-on; m2_8gb = isolation alt). AFTER #1604 is on prod:
(1) TOKEN — GitHub -> repo Settings -> Actions -> Runners -> New self-hosted runner -> copy it.
(2) RUN:
cd ~/Witan/02_hardware/samsung_laptop/code/ci_runner && ./install_runner.sh <TOKEN>
cd ~/actions-runner && sudo ./svc.sh install "$USER" && sudo ./svc.sh start
LAST switch: re-enable Actions (Settings -> Actions -> Allow all) = zero billed minutes; first run is the canary. Runbook: that dir README.md.✓ Jul 12

CI infra. test.yml runs-on ubuntu-latest -> [self-hosted,linux,witan] (SAFE while Actions disabled, nothing runs). + 02_hardware/samsung_laptop/code/ci_runner/ bundle (install_runner.sh + README) so his hand is only token + sudo svc.sh. Host rec = homeserver1 (has py3.12+uv+git+systemd). Nothing flips before runner registered+canary-green. Pairs with an Inbox card.✓ Jul 12

Agent lane, 3 idle ticks: 4 PRs this window merged+live (#1589-#1592), repetition class quiet in prod, hostile probe clean. Every remaining item needs your hand: (1) RTR-40 calendar-nesting shadow-to-live flip - probes 4/4 green, one word from you; (2) fleet-registry paste (fb_a810bfcd) - turn-6 coaching fires the tick it lands; (3) RTR-33 Gmail label list - until then your forwarded emails never reach Witan; (4) Surface-A relaunch-runner install (dead lanes stay dead without it).
