§456 shipped a recipe this morning for republishing the shared loop dashboard.
It worked once. It then failed three times in a row on the very next
publish, and the section is corrected in place rather than left standing.

fetch -> bash (merge + verify) -> Read all 3061 lines -> publish
    -> refused: "a newer version ... is live and this publish was not built on it"
publish again, unchanged
    -> refused: "identical content already refused ... resent unchanged"
fetch again (its result again said the version counts as viewed once Read)
    -> publish -> refused, same message

Two COMPLETE reads of the same 3061-line file in one turn, each with
nothing between the last Read and the publish, and neither counted.

What is established, and what is not

  • Established: a full read satisfied the gate exactly once — on a local
    path this session had never successfully published before. Every attempt
    after that first successful publish was refused.
  • Not established: whether the block is a per-path base version recorded by
    the successful publish, whether a refusal invalidates prior reads, or whether
    a fetch does. Three candidate mechanisms, and no way to separate them from
    inside the session.
  • Measured cost: roughly 250k tokens of context on one artifact in one
    turn, for a page that was already merged and verified on disk — 3 expected
    line differences, counts closing at +22 chips / +8 entries / +3 options.

Why it stops being a recipe

A third read would have been a state change made while blind, which is the one
move this repository's debugging doctrine names outright. So the section now
says: when a precondition cannot be inspected and following its own stated
instruction twice does not satisfy it, hand the artefact over and name what
refused it.

The durable repair is #3023 — the merge command — not another reading of the
same file.

…topping rule

The recipe that section shipped -- fetch, all checks in one shell call, an
unbroken read, then publish -- worked once and then failed three times in a
row on the next publish of the same artifact.

fetch, merge, Read all 3061 lines, publish: refused as "not built on it".
Resent unchanged: refused as "identical content already refused". Fetched
again and published: refused with the same message. Two COMPLETE reads of
one file in one turn, each with nothing between the last Read and the
publish, and neither counted.

Three candidate mechanisms and no way to separate them from inside the
session: a per-path base version recorded by the one successful publish, a
refusal invalidating prior reads, or a fetch invalidating them.

Measured cost: roughly 250k tokens of context on one artifact in one turn,
for a page already merged and verified on disk.

So the section stops being a recipe. When a precondition cannot be inspected
and following its own stated instruction twice does not satisfy it, a third
attempt is a state change made while blind. Hand the artefact over and say
what refused it. The durable repair is the merge command filed as #3023.
