chore(scripts): admission dispatch for the second-pass verification wave (Gitea #2596 )

classify + activate + admit of the adversarial re-verification of the 10 remaining general-34 facades at the cache-catch standard; evidence refs name the serving-path catch (goal fail-loud save) and the three mutation-gap pins.
test(forge_client): pin live-path httpx.ConnectError kind projection — mutation spot-check closure (second pass)

+# ISSUE-CONVERGENCE (owner directive 2026-10-24): issues auto-close when the
+# work that resolves them reaches master. Two roads, both mechanical:
+#
+#   1. KEYWORD ROAD — commit messages containing "closes #N" / "fixes #N" /
+#      "resolves #N" (case-insensitive) close N on the master push that
+#      carries them. Gitea's native auto-close only fires on the default
+#      branch via PR merge; direct pushes to master bypass it — this job
+#      replaces that gap.
+#   2. MENTION SWEEP — issues referenced in landed commit bodies (#N) get a
+#      convergence comment ("referenced from <sha> on master") so the ledger
+#      shows which landed work touched them, without force-closing anything
+#      that isn't keyword-marked. Closing is the author's explicit act; the
+#      sweep just makes references visible.
+#
+# Fail-soft: any API error logs a warning and exits 0 — a failed close must
+# never break the push that landed real work.

+
+"'Wired in' also means nothing Go-able left unexamined": every one of the 296 `src/rune` modules is
+classified three-way, and pure-python modules further split load-bearing (executed in the witness
+run) vs test/tooling vs dead.
+
+## Honest counts
+
+| class | count | criterion |
+|---|---|---|
+| **total src/rune modules** | **296** | `*.py` in src/rune |
+| go-delegated | 15 | module carries a Go delegation seam (`_go_engine_bin` / `_go_bus_bin` / `_lte_go_engine_bin`) |
+| rust-kernel-wired | 101 | module name matches a `src/rust` crate, or imports `cognition_core`/`cc_loader` |
+| pure-python | 180 | neither of the above |
+| — load-bearing (witness-executed) | 59 | in `research/witness-run/witness-2026-10-24.json` `live_pure_core` |
+| — tooling/test-pattern | 116 | in witness `live_pure_tooling` |
+| — dead (never executed) | 1 | witness `dead`: `__main__` |
+| — unclassified | 4 | `__init__`, `curator`, `forge`, `scaffold` (glue/facade aggregators — no engine seam, no crate match, not in witness lists) |
+
+## Reconciliation with the witness scoreboard (deltas are findings)
+
+Witness (runtime, 2026-10-24): 11 go-facade-served-live · 79 rust-kernel-wired · 87 load-bearing ·
+117 tooling · 1 dead. This inventory (static structural surface, 2026-10-25): 15 / 101 / 59 / 116 / 1.
+
+- **go-delegated 15 vs 11:** the witness counted only facades served in the *boot chain*; the static
+  sweep finds 4 more delegation seams that execute on dispatch, not boot
+  (persona_gate, stage_guards, +2 dispatch-time surfaces). Nothing Go-able unexamined — they are
+  bar-2-probed in the verdict table where applicable.
+- **rust-kernel-wired 101 vs 79:** the witness file stores the count only, not the list; this
+  inventory reconstructs the list structurally (crate-name match ∪ cognition_core import). The +22
+  are crate-name-matched modules whose runtime broker hop the witness's serving chain didn't touch.
+- **load-bearing 59 vs 87:** the witness's 87 included modules classified load-bearing by runtime
+  evidence beyond name matching; the static intersection with `live_pure_core` yields 59. The
+  witness file remains authoritative for *runtime* load-bearing status; this file is authoritative
+  for *structural* classification.
+- **4 unclassified:** `__init__` (package glue), `curator`, `forge`, `scaffold` (aggregator
+  facades). These need a disposition decision in the removal tranche (#2592) — none is Go-able
+  (no engine seam), none is dead (imported by live surfaces).
+
+Full module lists: `inventory.json` (same directory).

+# Triage of the 87 live-pure-core python modules — 2026-10-24
+
+Companion of `research/witness-run/witness-2026-10-24.json` (Gitea #2586, classification half).
+Method: import-graph over 1412 py files (src/, tui/, scripts/, tests/, verification/), twin-name
+match against `src/go/` (101 modules) and `src/rust/` (103 crates), plus delegation spot-checks
+(launcher boot ladder, ctypes loaders, `rune_operator` dynamic imports). Witness execution data is
+liveness ground truth. Machine-readable detail: `triage-2026-10-24.json`.
+
+## Headline
+
+**Two weeks of rebasing was NOT adequate.** 30 of 87 live-executing python modules (22,567 lines)
+still carry the serving path with no live native twin — including 9 modules on the witness boot
+chain itself and the entire governed self-change authority chain.
+
+## Counts
+
+| Pile | Count | Lines |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 LEGIT-PYTHON (keep) | 10 | 3,560 |
+| 2 SUPERSEDED (delete-able) | 46 | 17,697 |
+| 3 DEAD | 1 | 1 |
+| 4 NEEDS-A-GO-SIDE (rebase scope) | **30** | **22,567** |
+
+## Pile 4 — the honest remaining rebase scope (ranked by serving-path weight)
+
+**Tier 0 — witness boot chain (product cannot boot without these):**
+`memory_env` (72L; 57 importers, path resolution — trivial port, do first), `mode_gate` (198L,
+the ONE dispatch-door mode authority, no twin), `effect_mediation` (558L, THE enforced
+effect-mediation registry, no twin), `paths` (149L), `tool_protocol` (481L, go twin unwired),
+`tool_executor` (1,866L; imported by capability_broker/provider_registry/rune_operator; go twin
+unwired), `local_tool_runtime` (1,027L Ollama transport + bounded tool loop), `context_broker`
+(870L prompt-assembly authority), `warm_router` (1,521L).
+
+**Tier 1 — operator/agent loop:** `rune_operator` (2,985L — largest single module; imported by
+capability_broker, core_server, tui_transport; orchestrates local_tool_runtime/tool_protocol/
+model_routing; go/operator twin not wired), `adaptive_router` (625L, dynamic-imported by
+rune_operator:519), `secret_store` (350L), `audit_ledger` (540L, HMAC-chained ledger imported by
+live `curator`), `model_registry` (253L, 11 live importers), `failure_auto_filer` (527L),
+`safety_override` (649L, safety-critical, no twin), `event_bus` (329L).
+
+**Tier 2 — memory subsystem:** `memory_store` (2,384L, 12 live importers — the heaviest single
+dependency in the graph; go/memory-store-deep unwired), `memory_consolidation` (770L),
+`abstraction` (768L), `tier_manager` (300L), `drift_compression` (323L), `warm_neuron_store`
+(122L; rust twin exists but callers still read python).
+
+**Tier 3 — governed self-change chain (DEP05/06/07, agent-invoked CLIs, zero twins):
+`construction_authority` (2,012L), `self_transform_pipeline` (853L), `self_change_qualification`
+(503L), `construction_admission` (311L), `identity_anchors` (575L), `owner_envelope` (378L),
+`runtime_attestation` (268L).**
+
+Top 5 by lines: rune_operator 2,985 · memory_store 2,384 · construction_authority 2,012 ·
+tool_executor 1,866 · warm_router 1,521.
+
+## Pile 1 — LEGIT-PYTHON (10)
+`build_attestation` (paired-build tooling), `live_proof` (proof-harness CLI), `release_notes`
+(release tooling), `ffi_query_memory_smoke` (FFI smoke test), `tui_validator` (canary-only
+pre-flight checks), `tui_backlog` (doc-as-module), `drift-ledger` (standalone CLI),
+`rune_graphic` (asset generator), `inference_paths` (truth-generator, scripts/tests only),
+`factory_protocol` (parity oracle for go/factory).
+
+## Pile 2 — SUPERSEDED (46)
+Two clusters, distinct successor evidence:
+- **TUI cluster (36)**: the launcher boot ladder (`~/.local/bin/rune`) execs the deployed Go face
+  `tui/cmd/rune-tui/main.go` (3,742-line main); the python Textual face is only the documented
+  fallback. Delete-able: `rune_tui` (4,180L), `chat_bubble`, `message_widgets`, `auto_context`,
+  `cron_engine`, `growth_delta`, `night_mode`, `parallel_processor`, `persona_gate`, `pins`,
+  `provider_budget`, `task_persist`, `work_manager`, `tui_transport`, `model_profiles`,
+  `hook_engine`, `model_connect`, `provider_registry`, `standardized_providers`,
+  `persona_definition`, `event_envelope`, `message_queue`, `voicebox`, `voice_injector`,
+  `tiered_executor`, `elastic_cognition`, `recall_router`, `provider_context`, `core_server`,
+  `builder_bridge`, `build_mode`, `skills_engine`, `sleep_time`, `memory_continuity`,
+  `stage_guards`, `event_wait` — each with a named `src/go/` (or rust) twin.
+- **Rust-twin cluster (10)**: zero live importers, rust crate under the same name serves
+  (rust-kernel-wired class): `construction_interface`, `failure_recovery`, `graph_projection`,
+  `impact_preview`, `programme_gates`, `route_risk_flags`, `rune_spinner`, `structural_migration`,
+  `wait_guard`, `wait_guard_corpus`.
+Caveat: python-TUI-cluster deletions should wait on removing the launcher's step-4 python
+fallback ("honest transition").
+
+## Pile 3 — DEAD (1)
+`alpha` — 1-line stub, zero importers across all trees.

+# REBASE-PROOF verdict table — Gitea #2586 (2026-10-25 run against the 2026-10-24 wave)
+
+Ruling: **receipts prove written; serving-path evidence earns wired.** A row is `WIRED` only on
+four-bar evidence; anything less is `WIRED-WITH-CAVEAT` or `REPAIR-SCOPED` with the repair scoped
+in-row (not landed — this is an evidence wave).
+
+## Bars
+
+1. **BAR-1 serving-path trace** — the facade's Go engine executes in the live face boot, a real 27B
+   turn, and a task dispatch, proven via existing logs only: `memory/journal/events.jsonl`
+   (45,152 events, fresh task.outcome/task.failed at 2026-10-25T04:29Z),
+   `research/witness-run/witness-2026-10-24.json` `boot_chain_executed` (15 serving-chain modules),
+   and the live turn response envelope (`core: go, success: true`). No serving code was modified.
+2. **BAR-2 fail-loud live probe** — `RUNE_*_BIN=/nonexistent` per facade → typed `RuntimeError`.
+   12/12 probed PASS live on 2026-10-25 (model-routing was pre-proven; re-proven anyway).
+3. **BAR-3 parity-at-load** — parity battery against the live engine in the same session
+   (`go test ./... -short -count=1` per facade module + scripts/check_*_parity.py).
+4. **BAR-4 no-oracle** — python body reachable ONLY via explicit `RUNE_*_ENGINE=python`; grep found
+   zero `except RuntimeError` fallback catches across all 12 facades; asserted in
+   `tests/test_rebase_proof_no_oracle.py`.
+
+## Live receipts (2026-10-25)
+
+- Core live on 127.0.0.1:8376 (`/v1/status`: governor + providers live).
+- Real 27B turn: `hf.co/DavidAU/Qwen3.6-27B-Fable-Fusion-...:IQ3_M` →
+  `"REBASE-PROOF-SERVING-OK"`, envelope `core: go`.
+- Task dispatch: fresh `task.outcome` / `task.failed` events streaming in the journal.
+- #2596 second-pass verdicts (parallel wave) reconcile into bar-3 at landing.

+
+## Scoped repairs (NOT landed — evidence wave)
+
+1. **trust-and-sovereignty** — `scripts/check_safety_override_parity.py`: 2000/2065 (65 fuzz
+   failures, seed 2479). Repair: reproduce the 65 rows, diff python oracle vs rust kernel
+   (src/rust/safety_override), fix the diverging side red-first, re-run to 2065/2065.
+2. **forge_client** — `gen_forge_client_truth.py` live regeneration diverges from frozen truth
+   (43+/303−): owner default lost (`repos//repo` vs `repos/owner/repo`), HTTP-capture rows return
+   `result: null`. Repair: reproduce with the producer env matrix first (frozen truth may carry
+   FORGE_* env); if drift survives, fix owner-default propagation + request capture in
+   src/go/forge_client, re-freeze.
+3. **openai_compat_transport** — live chat parity row raises "provider returned a non-object
+   response". Repair: the go chat surface must parse or typedly reject non-object responses to
+   match the oracle contract, then regenerate truth byte-identical.
+4. **message_queue** — no parity battery exists at all (src/go/message-queue has no test files,
+   no check_*_parity.py maps to it). Repair: write the live-parity battery (house pattern:
+   src/go/cache/cache_test.go), land green.
+5. **file-change-safety / tool-executor fsops** — `check_tool_executor_fsops_parity.py` refuses to
+   run (project-identity guard: "unknown project 'proj-alpha'"). Repair: resolve the harness
+   invocation context, land a green run, re-verdict. (Adjacent finding, outside the 16 rows:
+   `check_ro_exec_parity.py` is red — 50230B frozen vs 50278B regenerated.)
+
+## Bar-1 caveat (applies to CONDITIONAL rows)
+
+Witness `boot_chain_executed` covers model_routing, microkernel, paths, tool_executor,
+local_tool_runtime (and 10 more serving-chain modules). The remaining facades execute their Go
+engines live on dispatch (proven by the same-session battery CLI runs against the live engine) but
+are not individually traced inside the 27B turn — proving that would require modifying serving
+code, which this wave forbids. They keep WIRED-WITH-CAVEAT until #2596-style per-facade in-turn
+probes exist.

+The audit (#2587) classified pins as "Python-only, no Go side". The tree

+"port it" nor "wire it":
+
+1. A Go pins port EXISTS (src/go/pins — batch 58) but carries ONLY a
+   recall kernel over (state, item_id) — no details-blob projection, no
+   unpin, no store. It is a parity artifact, not an authority.
+
+2. pins is ALREADY delegated: the recall/unpin/list/store-path kernels
+   resolve through the Rust cognition_core (src/rust/cognition_core
+   broker.rs pins_recall/pins_unpin/pins_list/pins_store_path — live,
+   verified by identity_anchors._cc_core probe). The Python bodies below
+   the cc branch are the RUNE_COGNITION_CORE=python fallbacks.
+
+Wiring a Go delegation would introduce a THIRD engine over the same
+semantics — violating no-duplicate-authority. The verdict:
