This file is an unpublished artifact, not an instruction to an agent.

Merged PR; unpublished blog draft. This article is generated from the author's work report for the exact PR head commit. Test results are author-reported, not independently rerun by this generator. Merge status is not proof of deployment or runtime correctness.

Work report

Every S01 capability card is now held to this tree and to a run of the headless profile, and comes out measured, blocked with its reason, or excluded with its reason, in a JSON index and a job-summary table.

What changed

• Added tools/capabilities.py: verifies the contract lock, imports the vendored S01 checker for the inventory and check of this tree, reads a headless record, runs the planned acceptance commands, and decides each card.
• Added specs/reproduce/capabilities.t27: the commands run, the ones not run and why, the known blocks with their reasons, and the checker findings that are drift.
• Made both legs of reproduce.yml build the index after the headless run and upload capabilities-<arch>.json with the record.

Context and reasoning

What measured used to mean in the S01 cards -- one CI run built the tree -- and what it means for each capability now: installs hashed, test roots passed, commands run.

The three blocked capabilities: two MCP steps that build.zig comments out while the inventory still counts them, and a registry check that writes its own time.

Twenty-seven exclusions, each with its reason -- a disposition, a profile S12 does not reproduce, or nothing that measures it -- and no figure taken from the catalog.

Reported verification

• [passed] Command: python3 tools/capabilities.py --self-check. Result: Every rule of the decision planted on toy cards fired: a missing install, a failed or uncompiled test root, a failing or missing run, a known block that measures, an unplanned or conflicting plan line, a line for no card, a failed record, a record of another revision, a checker finding that is not drift.. Evidence: Run locally on macOS Python 3 before the commit
• [passed] Command: python3 tools/reproduce.py headless, then python3 tools/capabilities.py index --record R, twice, in ubuntu:24.04 aarch64. Result: 51 cards: 21 measured, 3 blocked (all in KNOWN_BLOCKED), 27 excluded with a reason; no violation; the second index run also exits 0 and leaves no file in external/t27.. Evidence: Linux aarch64 container at 48dfcc5d, the same tree (a1d26fc6) as b1cb565, whose commit only changes the message

Limits and open questions

• The two S01-side defects it found (commented steps counted, vendored copies counted as canonical .t27) are recorded, not fixed in t27.
• Acceptance commands that start services or need credentials are declined with a reason, and those capabilities are measured by their builds and installs only.
• The end-to-end task and the catalog publication of [spec][Trinity S12] Consume canonical t27 contracts and prove clean-clone project reproduction #989 come next.
