[finding] Four gate-script comments still say the decision frame has "four" / "two enforced" copies after #14685 item 4 reduced COPIES to two — `dispatch-gates.mjs:8090/:8095`, `check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs:455`, `check-skills-token-ratchet.mjs:334/:345/:359`

[os-litant]

Recorded by the skills lane seat (session session_01LraLgQVGq8egUwfYZpbYt1) from the #14685 item-4 flight (PR #14862, findings F1–F4). Each is a present-tense claim that PR #14862 makes false, in a file that flight did not hold. Comment-only; no verdict changes today. Unassigned, bare, for triage.

The sites, measured at origin/main 2263ca4d67 (2026-09-03T06:17Z)

file:line	text today	true after PR #14862
scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs:8090	why: 'clause ① (2026-08-20 narrowing): the dev-agent definition is protocol semantics — every dispatched dev runs under it, and it carries an enforced copy of the decision frame'	the last clause is false: os-dev.md carries no frame copy; the mandate still holds on its first clause (the self-test asserts the glob, not the reason)
scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs:8095	why: '… the published PM skill carries two enforced copies of the decision frame (check:skill-frame-sync COPIES) and ships verbatim to third-party projects'	one copy
scripts/pm/check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs:455	// This file is one of the four check:skill-frame-sync COPIES, so a rule that … (in the os-dev.md ceiling ledger)	not a COPIES entry; this also weakens the recorded reason for that row's +3 raise — the row itself is unchanged by this card
scripts/check-skills-token-ratchet.mjs:334	// accepting the four-rule set), and this file carries TWO enforced frame copies	one
scripts/check-skills-token-ratchet.mjs:345	// enforced frame copies (check:skill-frame-sync COPIES), and a rule that	one
scripts/check-skills-token-ratchet.mjs:359	// (its own row below); the two gate-pinned copies of the decision frame stay	one gate-pinned copy

Scope

Rewrite the six comment sites to the two-copy truth (internal-pm in .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md, published-pm in skills/objectstack-pm-dispatch/SKILL.md; the dev prompt gets the frame from the PM's copy at dispatch time). No behaviour, no verdict line, no ceiling value changes; self-tests must stay byte-identical in their verdicts. Size XS.

Sequencing (hot files): scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs is held by PR #14765 and scripts/pm/check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs by PR #14860 until they merge — Restart-when: both are on main. scripts/check-skills-token-ratchet.mjs is free.

Verified

• The seat's own re-run at PR docs(pm-dispatch): keep two copies of the decision frame, not four #14862's head: check-skill-frame-sync → 2 copies … across 2 files; dispatch-gates self-test 1241 pass; both ratchets green — confirming none of the six comments is load-bearing.

Triage — graded. documentation · priority:p3 · pm:blocked · domain:skills. Blocked-by: PR #14862.

⛔ Not actionable yet — the six comments are still TRUE today

COPIES in scripts/check-skill-frame-sync.mjs:112+ currently declares three files at origin/main, .claude/agents/os-dev.md among them. ⇒ PR #14862 has not landed. The card is honest about this ("true after PR #14862") but the state it describes is its branch, not main.

⚠️ ⛔ Do not "fix" a comment that is currently accurate. Re-run the check before starting:

git show origin/main:scripts/check-skill-frame-sync.mjs | sed -n '112,132p'

Two entries ⇒ #14862 landed, proceed. Three ⇒ ⛔ not yet.

⚠️ The title's path is wrong; the table's is right

The title says check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs:455; the real path is scripts/pm/check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs — the table has it correctly, the title dropped pm/. I grepped the title's path first and got a clean zero, then a control (check-skills-token-ratchet.mjs exists) showed the zero was a path slip, not absence. ⛔ Grep the table, not the title.

Scope — terminal

Six comment sites → the two-copy truth (internal-pm .claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md, published-pm skills/objectstack-pm-dispatch/SKILL.md; the dev prompt takes the frame from the PM's copy at dispatch time). ⛔ No behaviour, no verdict line, no ceiling value; self-test verdicts byte-identical.

⚠️ Two of the three files are held: scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs by PR #14765, scripts/pm/check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs by PR #14860. scripts/check-skills-token-ratchet.mjs is free. ⛔ Do not edit a held file to finish the set — do the free one, name the held two in the report, and let the rest follow.

⭐ The :455 site is the one to read carefully: per the card it also weakens the recorded reason for that row's +3 ceiling raise. ⛔ The row value is not this card's to change — if the reason no longer supports the raise, say so in the report; ⛔ do not adjust the ceiling.

✅ Load-bearing check accepted: the seat's re-run at #14862's head had check-skill-frame-sync at 2 copies, dispatch-gates self-test 1241 pass, both ratchets green — so none of the six is load-bearing.

Unlock scan (skills seat, session session_019RfFHiRCSs3JXLK4cwcfox, 2026-09-03T16:12Z): the Restart-when: condition is satisfied — PR #14765 merged 2ee88cb063 (07:48:47Z) and PR #14860 merged 5bc2f27 (15:53:59Z), both read on origin/main at 15:58Z. File-surface re-verification on the merged ref 5bc2f27 before the return to queue: scripts/check-skill-frame-sync.mjs:4 reads "two by the 2026-09-03 batch-3 ruling, item 4 option B — see COPIES below" (COPIES = 2, so the six comments are now false, not merely branch-true); scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs:8379 still says "two enforced copies of the decision frame" and :15964 (self-test text) "two enforced frame copies"; scripts/check-skills-token-ratchet.mjs:324 / :334 still say "the five" / "TWO enforced frame copies"; scripts/pm/check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs:540 still says "one of the four check:skill-frame-sync COPIES". Line numbers moved with the day's merges — the table's spellings are the anchors, not the numbers.

State transition, same stroke: pm:blocked → pm:queue. Sequencing on the seat post's hot-file queue: scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs is held by #14688 (in flight) and scripts/pm/check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs is next held by #14209; this card is dispatched as one XS flight over all three files once both land, so the set is finished in one PR rather than split.

Restart-when satisfied (skills seat linger, session session_01LraLgQVGq8egUwfYZpbYt1, 2026-09-03T16:37Z): PR #14862 (7b19b9ea88, COPIES = 2) and PR #14860 (af5fac2d40, the last holder of dispatch-gates.mjs and the ratchet scripts' hot ranges) are both on main, so the six stale "four / two enforced copies" comments can be corrected now. The state change from pm:blocked is the next skills seat's after reading the labels; the departed seat records only (signed off 15:24Z).
