feat(queen): a pusher that reads the system on a schedule and files what stopped - #4283

…hat stopped Three stalls, three causes, one shape: the evidence existed and nobody was looking. The feeder fired twice in twelve hours instead of 36 (2026-09-17); the batch merge failed every run for two days in three seconds on a model id, with no log (2026-09-19); 71 issues sat held by attempts that had spent their retries with 0 of 8 lanes running and 673 candidates refused (2026-09-20). Each time the operator found out by asking. The pusher takes the reading on a schedule, compares it with the previous one - kept as JSON inside its own issue, so the history is public and no state file is committed - and applies one rule per stall, each naming the command that would falsify it. Its self-test covers eleven shapes, three of which a moving system must NOT fire. Verified against the live system: 8 bees running, 0 claimed, 673 open issues, 0 queued runs, and exactly one rule fired - "nothing merged in six hours while 19 bee pull requests are open", which is the conflicted-branch backlog. Closes #4282 Gates: python3 tools/queen/pusher.py --self-test -> "ok: 11 rule shapes, including three a moving system must NOT fire"; --dry-run against production printed the reading and filed nothing; python3 scripts/ci/check_pr_branch_filters.py exits 0 with the new workflow classified.

… path (#4304) Three checks are red on master. Two are this loop's. CENSUS. tools/census/quiet.txt pinned `workflow files read 51`; the tree holds 57. The six added since the pin are #4277, #4279, #4281, #4283, #4291 and #4300, all merged by this loop, and cli-tri has been red since 2026-09-17. What moved, explicitly: quiet 51 -> 57 workflow files and 123 -> 135 "named a path but not quiet"; shell 51 -> 57 files, 72 -> 78 jobs, 249 -> 267 run-steps, 228 -> 246 steps the runner runs with `bash -eo pipefail`. The gates did not change; the population grew. HOME PATH. feed_defects.py carries a comment explaining that an absolute `/Users/<name>/t27/target/release/t27c` once went into 137 open issues -- and spells it out to say so, which is what the scan catches. It now reads `.../t27/target/release/t27c`, same meaning, no home directory. WORKTREES. That gate also failed in every worktree on a path no commit contains: it excludes the `.git` DIRECTORY, and a worktree's `.git` is a FILE holding `gitdir: /Users/...`. `--exclude=.git` joins `--exclude-dir=.git`. The reviewer measures in a detached worktree and every bee works in one. NOT FIXED HERE: `coverage` reports 544 stale seals and has no successful run in its last 60 on master, reaching back past 2026-09-18. Re-sealing 544 specs records what the compiler now produces -- a decision about the ledger, not a repair. Closes #4303 Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Closes #4282
Every stall so far was a number nobody was reading. This reads them every 30 minutes, compares with the last reading (kept as JSON in its own issue), and files what stopped — with the command that would falsify each rule.
Self-test: 11 rule shapes, three of which a healthy system must not fire. Live dry run: 8 bees running, 0 claimed, one rule fired (nothing merged in six hours while 19 bee PRs are open).
