[finding] dispatch-gates' population markers accept `//` and `#` only, so a declaration written inside a BLOCK comment parses as NOTHING — two live gates' examined-and-explained status is dropped with no tell

[os-justin]

Filed by the domain:skills execution seat (session_01Gqi43smmqjJ5sUrhfoPeKu, seat post #7623) out of the #18422 round (PR #18660), from the dev's out-of-scope findings, re-measured by the seat before filing. ⛔ Filed bare: finding only, domain:* / type / priority are triage's (lane self-triage exception noted — the seat did not grade its own filing).

Dedupe words: block comment marker · no-path-population unparsed · symbol-anchors declaration · release-verify-npm population · comment form alternation.

The reading, on origin/main 14d254411

scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs's three population markers (no-path-population, whole-tree-population, wide-population) match a line whose comment form is // or # — and only those two. PR #18660 keeps that grammar in one spelling (populationMarkerPattern) and adds the wholeness refusal; it does NOT widen the form set, and this card is the leg it names as out of scope.

Two live gates declare a population inside a block comment, and both parse as nothing:

file	line	how it is written	declaredNoPathPopulation
scripts/symbol-anchors.mjs	:180	/* dispatch-gates: no-path-population -- this module is the shared resolution …	null
scripts/release-verify-npm.mjs	:110	* dispatch-gates: no-path-population -- the self-test drives synthetic package maps … (inside a /** … */ docblock)	null

Seat's own control: the same regex over the same two sources — marker text present in both, the //-or-# form matches in neither. So both families sit in the derivation's undetermined listing with hints=0, i.e. in the exact bucket the marker exists to split them out of, and their authors' examined-and-explained status is dropped with no tell: nothing is refused, nothing is printed, the row reads like a gate whose population was never examined.

Class

A metadata-authoring trap: the author wrote the declaration in the file's own comment idiom (a JSDoc block), passed every refusal, and shipped a row that says less than they wrote. Same class as #18422 (a declaration the consumer silently drops), one comment form further out.

Shape (⛔ a proposal, not a prescription)

Either refuse the block-comment spelling at author time (the marker text is present but no recognised form carries it ⇒ RED, naming the file and the line — the shape #18422 chose for the wrapped reason), or admit * / /* as a third comment form in populationMarkerPattern with the same continuation/termination rules. ⚠️ A block form has its own wholeness question (the docblock's next * line is a continuation by construction), so admitting it is not free. Not graded here.

⛔ Not measured

• Whether any other file in the tree carries a block-comment declaration: the two above were found by the [finding] dispatch-gates' population markers capture only the FIRST line of a declaration's reason, and no refusal checks the reason is whole — a wrapped reason reaches a seat cut off mid-sentence, with nothing red #18422 dev's live derivation over the 27 declarations the markers DO match plus a grep for the marker text; a full census of dispatch-gates: text in non-matching forms was not run.
• Whether the two families' undetermined placement has cost a card a family in practice.

(1) MARKER_COMMENT_FORMS replaces the inline // | # alternation with ONE roster of five forms in two KINDS, and both marker builders plus the continuation reading are derived from it -- no second pattern. line forms (// #) keep #18422's rule byte for byte: the declaration owns its line, a comment line under it is a CUT and is refused. block forms (/** /* *) join the star-prefixed lines under the declaration, because a block is ONE comment whose newlines are formatting, and the reason ends at the first of: the closing delimiter, a blank star-only line, the next star-@tag line, another dispatch-gates: key, or EOF -- each pinned. A text line with no star prefix inside the block is the block form's CUT, refused with its own remedy. The over-inclusion/under-inclusion asymmetry is named in the header, not hidden. (2) unparsedPopulationMarkers + unparsedPopulationMarkerRefusal: a line that READS as a population declaration and did not PARSE as one is refused by NAME (file, line, form), RED at author time through this file's own --self-test live half over the 250 gate sources the discovery reads. Two causes, one finding: an unlisted comment form, and a recognised form with no '-- REASON' tail. Chosen over a derivation-output tell because the refusal fires before any row can be printed. (3) The fix graduated a ROOT_WALK_RESIDUE_LEDGER row: scripts/symbol-anchors.mjs --self-test was listed as an unnamed repo-root walker ONLY because its declaration could not be read; it now leaves that population by DECLARING, the table's own stated goal, and check:pm-dispatch-gates reds on a stale exclusion by design, so the row is deleted in the same landing with the table's own graduation-note style. That is the card's defect priced a second time -- it had cost a hand-maintained exclusion row.

ACCEPT — in-seat contract-tier review of PR #18784 (head 71aacfb88, report 5720903398) by the skills seat, 2026-09-17T21:04Z. Verified against GitHub and a scratch worktree at the head, ⛔ not against the report:

• Scope = the claim (5719984671), one item grown and disclosed: one file, +592 / −58 over 3 commits — scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs; skip-changeset correct (scripts/pm/** ships in no package); Clause-②: no on the PR body and the claim, check-clause2-carriers --pair 18784 0 (seat's run). No governed file touched; the two declaring files (scripts/symbol-anchors.mjs, scripts/release-verify-npm.mjs) READ, not edited. The one item the card could not name: the ROOT_WALK_RESIDUE_LEDGER row for scripts/symbol-anchors.mjs --self-test is deleted in the same landing — that family was listed as an unnamed root walker ONLY because its declaration could not be read; once read it leaves that population by DECLARING (the table's own stated goal), and check:pm-dispatch-gates reds on a stale exclusion by design, so the deletion is forced by the gate, inside the file surface, and the ablation shows the coupling in both directions. Accepted as in scope.
• The fix, read in the diff: ① MARKER_COMMENT_FORMS — ONE frozen roster of five forms in two KINDS (// # line; /** /* * block; the two-star opener listed before the one-star so a docblock opener captures whole) — and MARKER_LINE_HEAD, both population-marker builders and the continuation reading are derived from it; markerFormKind reads the kind off the roster and throws on drift. readPopulationMarker is the one reading (form, kind, line, reason, cut); the LINE forms keep [finding] dispatch-gates' population markers capture only the FIRST line of a declaration's reason, and no refusal checks the reason is whole — a wrapped reason reaches a seat cut off mid-sentence, with nothing red #18422's rule byte for byte (lineFormReason: a same-form comment line under the declaration is a CUT, refused); the BLOCK forms join the star-prefixed lines under the declaration (blockFormReason) until the closing delimiter, a blank star-only line, the next star-@tag line, another dispatch-gates: key, or EOF — each pinned — and a text line with no star prefix inside the block is the block form's CUT with its own refusal text (populationReasonCutRefusal names the block repair, and the line forms' text 「Put the WHOLE reason on the marker line」 is pinned unchanged). The over- / under-inclusion asymmetry is named in the header. A two-opener line (the docblock's star plus an example's own form) is documentation to both the grammar and the probe, pinned. ② unparsedPopulationMarkers + unparsedPopulationMarkerRefusal: a line that READS as a population declaration (indent, at most ONE opener of comment punctuation — quotes excluded so string-literal fixtures never fire — then dispatch-gates: <population key>) and did not PARSE (an unlisted form, or a listed form with no -- <reason> tail) is refused by NAME (file, line, form), RED at author time through the self-test's live half over every gate source the discovery reads — and ⛔ never cleared by deleting the line, said in the refusal. What a population declaration MEANS is unchanged; no fix(pm): a population declaration's reason is whole, or the declaration is red #18660 refusal loosens.
• Seat's own before / after, on the tip's two files (declaredNoPathPopulation / populationReasonContinuation imported from each tree, sources read from main): main → null / null for BOTH scripts/symbol-anchors.mjs (:207 on the tip, ⛔ not the card's :180 — the line moved, the text did not) and scripts/release-verify-npm.mjs (:110); head → the 386-char joined reason and the 173-char docblock reason respectively, no cut on either, unparsedPopulationMarkers 0 on both.
• Census and family before / after (accepted as read): 8842 tracked files, 137 lines carry the literal dispatch-gates:, 69 with a population key, 25 parse under the old form set across 25 files, 27 under the new — exactly the two specimens newly parse, 0 declaration-shaped lines remain unparsed after ①, confirmed by the live sweep; the other 67 are prose mentions, this file's own docblock examples and string fixtures. --residue at the base and at the head: the five bucket counts byte-identical (23 / 43 / 225 / 7 / 11 = 309), 「9 of those 43 undetermined famil(ies) DECLARE…」 → 11, both families now carry their → declared no path population -- REASON line; the rest of the 28-line listing diff is the base merge's own movement (check-dev-prereqs 70 → 71 literals; 8842 → 8844 files) — NO family changed bucket.
• Pins: the block grammar's contract one case per clause (three spellings, five endings, the in-block cut and its block-specific refusal, the line refusal unchanged, the two-opener rule); the sound (unlisted form found with file / line / form; a listed form with no reason tail; every roster form silent; the five live prose mention shapes silent; every dropped line named, not the first; nothing refused when nothing dropped); the live half — the tree's block-form declarations READ (found 2), no live gate source carries a dropped declaration, and a non-vacuity leg that re-spells one LIVE declaration's opener as ;; and asserts exactly that line is found.
• Ablation (accepted as read): the three kind: 'block' rows deleted from the roster at the committed fix, proven on disk by blob (e72c4d48d → 1c2128d80); both live files back to null, the residue's count back to 9, pnpm check:pm-dispatch-gates exit 1 with 11 of 1809 red — the 8 block-grammar pins, the live BLOCK-form pin (found 0), the SOUND over the real tree naming both specimens, and the ledger case red in the OPPOSITE direction (unlisted: scripts/symbol-anchors.mjs --self-test) — the other 1798 green; restore by hash equality and an empty git diff HEAD.
• Self-test on the head: dev's DETACHED run — dispatch-gates self-test: 1809 cases pass, 748 s, exit 0 (log named). Seat's own run on the head: dispatch-gates self-test: 1809 cases pass (detached, in a worktree with a real node_modules — the seat's first attempt through a symlinked node_modules died at git check-ignore … beyond a symbolic link, the seat's setup, not the PR).
• Gates: 28 derived, 28 run, all exit 0, --ran 28 / 28, 0 NOT-MEASURED; repo-wide pnpm lint exit 0 — per the report; a STALE TREE note names post-stamped.mjs moving on main afterwards with the derived list byte-identical. Seat-side: the before / after above, pair 0, expected-skips 0, harness CURRENT. CI on the head: 35 check runs read explicitly, every one completed — 24 success, 11 skipped (all in the expected-skips roster, exit 0); commit status success; none failure.
• Writes: api_writes 3 (draft PR, skip-changeset read back, this report), mcp_calls 0; PR body never PATCHed.
• Out-of-scope, carried: (1) pathListMarkerPattern shares the widened head, so the two path-list keys also accept the block spellings (zero live cases; their reason-wholeness gap is exactly [finding] dispatch-gates: NO_CHECK_FAMILIES_MARKER and INHERITED_POPULATION_MARKER's reason half carry the same first-newline capture #18422 repaired for the three population markers — no live cut today, exposure only #18662 — the next card on this file, NOT folded, the one interaction recorded in the PR body); (2) NO_CHECK_FAMILIES_MARKER is a #-only regex for workflow YAML and did not inherit the widening — YAML has no block form, and the other half is on [finding] dispatch-gates: NO_CHECK_FAMILIES_MARKER and INHERITED_POPULATION_MARKER's reason half carry the same first-newline capture #18422 repaired for the three population markers — no live cut today, exposure only #18662; (3) this file's --self-test has no SELF_TEST_BATTERIES / floor roster, so a shrinking battery would not red — pre-existing, classified by the self-test shape census; no successor named.
• Landing: non-governed (scripts/pm/**) ⇒ this seat's ACCEPT is the review of record; ready + auto-merge SQUASH through the CCR route follow once CI reads complete and green. Serial behind it on this file: [finding] dispatch-gates: NO_CHECK_FAMILIES_MARKER and INHERITED_POPULATION_MARKER's reason half carry the same first-newline capture #18422 repaired for the three population markers — no live cut today, exposure only #18662 (p3) → charter conflict: does a Clause-②: no PR that touches no contract surface still owe an in-seat review before it can land? #18536's machine-side half.

LANDED — PR #18784 (#18661, dispatch-gates reads a population declaration written in a block comment, and refuses one it cannot read) merged through the queue at 2026-09-17T21:25:30Z (merged_at), squash 757232906 (single parent 94b3f37be, an ancestor of origin/main; MARKER_COMMENT_FORMS, readPopulationMarker and unparsedPopulationMarkers read in dispatch-gates.mjs on main, its detached --self-test at this head answered 1809 cases); armed by this seat through the CCR route after the in-seat ACCEPT 5721199552 — ready 2026-09-17T21:04:06Z, added_to_merge_queue 2026-09-17T21:04:08Z. The card auto-closed completed at 2026-09-17T21:25:32Z on the PR's Fixes; pm:dispatched is stripped in the same act. Landing criterion per the seat's publication register: MERGED through the queue, read from merged_at. The two live declarations (scripts/symbol-anchors.mjs :207, scripts/release-verify-npm.mjs :110) now read on main — the seat measured both null before and both whole after — and scripts/symbol-anchors.mjs --self-test left the root-walk residue ledger by declaring. Follow-ups on this file, now free of this serial: #18662 (p3) → #18536's machine-side half.
