rdmsm4x-changelog-20260905-1715-post-panic-fleet-recovery-orchestration

One line: after the 13:51 EDT kernel watchdog panic, claude@rdmsm4x/masterchief (Fable 5.1, oversight tier) ran recovery INC-20260905-01 with six Claude workers; the hub is stable, the ticket store and 33 recovery writes are committed and pushed, the bus is drained of ~1,000 automated messages, every pending-Rich item is re-measured onto one page, and the open-critical list is now exactly the credential family that only Rich can rotate.

Apple Notes — PENDING (2026-09-05 17:17:12 EDT)

notes_changelog.zsh refused: this CCD session is Background, not Aqua, so it cannot send AppleEvents. The file copy above is the archive. To publish, from Terminal.app in the GUI session on rdmsm4x:

Addendum — 2026-09-05 19:23:27 EDT (resumption after the 5-hour limit)

Session paused 18:29–19:03 by the Anthropic 5h limit (reset 18:30). WS-D worker died on the same 429 with sites/dev.ecs0.net done (4140e1d); the lead finished repo hygiene inline 19:05–19:30: 12 more repos committed by path (fleet 36e6d3e/3b54b1b/d025187, _ops fcc672d + merge 5f714dc, tests 065a29d, fleet/maintenance 5b9480f/2cc7f4e, scripts 555f7c9, lib/domains 5ab8f76, data 589d944, todo 866680b, sites/eastcoastscience.net 558a363, net/fleet-certs 0b5b65c, apps/macOS-ramDisk-app_eval d63174e), 30 repos pushed to existing remotes after gating the outgoing diff (Xentropy 16 commits, onlyroute, 28 others). A transient github.com DNS failure at 19:12 was retried at 19:18. Full table: fleet/recovery-20260905/WS-D-repos.md. After-state 19 dirty / 16 ahead, all NO-TOUCH, in-flight or job-regenerated.
Guard hysteresis patch APPLIED by claude@rdmsm4x/dev-13 at 18:53 (after dev-e5's lease lapsed 18:11); verified 19:03: 320 lines, RECOVERY_OK_CYCLES present, log shows "SUPPRESSED recovery broadcast: n/8". Rollback: ~/scripts/fleet_load_canary_guard.py.bak-20260905-185337.
Apple Notes entry PUBLISHED by dev-f6 at 17:29:07 (Aqua session).
Tickets: FEAT-20260905-06/07 and EPIC-20260905-01 reset to open (PRDs committed, leases lapsed); TASK-20260905-01 blocked on Rich's certificates; ticket-store-committer defect filed; ISSUE-20260831-04 gets the gate false-positive class (emails / path expressions in global.env).
Undo additions: git -C ~/dev/_ops revert 5f714dc (merge); per-repo git revert <hash> above.
