Freeze the capability audit as a dated baseline (V-719)

39 capabilities read off the running five-container stack on 2026-08-13,
not off the code. 17 live, 9 partial, 4 broken, 9 off. The owner's
corrections are applied: speech in, speech out and wake word are live, and
he proved all three by speaking to her. The voice reach stays broken,
because reaching her by speaking is a pull and a proactive message needs a
session to push into.

The claim the spec has to be written against: none of the four broken
capabilities is a code defect. Weather has no config block, Nexus has no
data, the voice reach has no listener, step-up has no WebAuthn credential.
The race suite was green during a run where 22 of 39 capabilities were not
live, so no definition of done that a test suite can score is worth
writing. Every criterion has to be observable on the box.

The task id is unfiled: Vikunja answered 503 for the whole session.

--no-verify: master is the working branch this session by the owner's call.

+
+## 2026-08-15 — authoritative-state continuation
+
+The continuation began by treating the checked-out tree and external task state
+as authoritative. `master` was clean, identical to `origin/master`, and already
+contained the V-717 and V-687 branch merges. Their interrupted worker messages
+were therefore not used as evidence of missing work.
+
+### Live reminder catch-up closes V-570 and V-715
+
+The rebuilt stack loaded the resident Qwen model, multilingual ONNX embedder,
+and routing heads. On its first eligible tick it phrased the three overdue
+reminders once as one catch-up message. Disabled ntfy left one durable failed
+attempt for delivery group `reminder #83`; ordered fallback then left exactly
+one successful Telegram attempt for the same group. All originals became
+`fired`. Four later ticks produced no second phrase, send, pending attempt, or
+unknown attempt. `/`, `/reminders`, and `/notifications` each returned HTTP 200
+with a server-generated request ID. This supplies the live evidence that was
+still missing in the 2026-08-13 entry; V-715 and the stale-open V-570 are closed.
+
+The first HTTP repro command also exposed a zsh test-harness trap: `path` is a
+special array tied to `PATH`, so using it as a loop variable removed command
+lookup inside the loop. The corrected probe used `probe_path` and `wget
+--no-proxy`; the deployed web process had not crashed.
+
+### Stale-open task reconciliation
+
+The open Vikunja list was read with `done: false` and compared with the current
+tree before choosing work. V-397 already described itself as done and merged;
+V-557 is present as `ea0eb16` plus the forced missing-slot dialogue contract;
+V-570 is covered by the live catch-up proof above. Those three records were
+closed rather than reimplemented. V-651 remains open: its nil-sink and reminder
+spin halves landed with V-715, but the first failed severity-4 Telegram send is
+still not represented in the repeat-until-ack stream.
+
+### Stable hash-floor performance evidence [V-718]
+
+`TestPersonalBoundaryHashFloorLatency` coupled correctness to ambient machine
+load while running a numeric training loop under race and coverage
+instrumentation. It is now a deterministic fit-and-score test that also proves
+the 1024-dimensional head was built. Elapsed time remains observable through
+`BenchmarkPersonalBoundaryHashFloorFitAndScore`, where three one-iteration runs
+on this host measured 75.1 ms, 76.8 ms and 81.4 ms without making those host
+figures a CI pass condition.
+
+The exact race-plus-coverage focused test passed in 9.445s. `make test` then
+passed on its first run: formatting, vet, CW2 configuration tests, and every
+internal and command package under race plus coverage; `cmd/mavend` completed
+in 205.712s. This closes V-718 without raising a brittle timeout.
+
+### Delegation availability
+
+All three available subagent slots were filled: clarification exhaustion,
+durable nudge identity, and a read-only live deployment probe. The first two
+left complete merges on `master`; all three later reported the same shared
+Codex usage limit, with capacity unavailable until 2026-08-20. Work continues
+serially. The temporary constraint and revisit trigger are recorded at
+`docs/caveats/workers.md#agent-quota` under the V-714 completion umbrella.

+Reminder payload is immutable, but its delivery lifecycle is deliberately not.
+The only ordinary transitions are `pending -> fired` after a definite send and
+`pending -> cancelled` through `CancelReminder`. A recurring success advances
+`next_fire_ts` and clears the occurrence-scoped presentation instead of making
+the row terminal. `MarkReminder` cannot cancel; that keeps every cancellation
+behind the delivery-race checks rather than leaving a legacy write bypass.
+
+`delivery_attempts` is the durable outbox. An occurrence or collapsed catch-up
+bundle owns one non-empty `delivery_group`; its cached phrase and outbox row use
+that same identity. Once an attempt is `pending`, `sent`, or `unknown`, Maven
+refuses to claim that cancellation succeeded because the presentation may
+already be outside the process. Cancelling first clears the group atomically,
+so a sender cannot begin against the cancelled occurrence. Cancelling one row
+in a collapsed group also invalidates the cached presentation on every pending
+sibling before a later retry can repeat the old count.

+not exercised. Those rows are stated as such rather than scored optimistically.
+
+## Corrections applied after the run
+
+The original run marked speech-to-text and text-to-speech **partial** and the
+wake word **off**, because the auditing box could not reach them. The owner
+demonstrated all three by speaking to Maven and corrected them to **live** on
+2026-08-13. The tally below carries the correction. The per-row evidence names
+what the audit could and could not see.
+
+The voice **reach** stays broken despite that correction, and the distinction is
+real. He reaches her by speaking, which is a pull. A proactive message needs a
+live voice session to push into. Every proactive message during the run fell
+through with "no live voice session".

+## Tally

+
+## The turn
+
+| capability | state | evidence | named gap |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Route an utterance | partial | Router, heads and 331 seeds loaded at start. Five of seven probes routed correctly. | Two probes about her own memory routed to remember instead of query. |
+| Ask instead of guessing | live | "напомни мне позвонить маме" produced "Сейчас 12:57. Когда?"; "отмена" produced "Хорошо, отменила." | None. V-717 closed on this evidence. |
+| Speak as herself | partial | One live reply came back masculine: "Хорошо, сохранил." | `CheckFeminine` catches this in the eval and nothing catches it on the wire. |
+| Answer from your own data | live | "что у меня сегодня по плану?" returned the real 10:30 checklist and its three open items. | None. The strongest path she has. |
+| Answer from the world | partial | "почему небо голубое?" reached SearXNG and answered with invented physics: "корочковатые цветы отражают длинноволны". | Retrieval works, the Russian summary does not. `Response.Empty()` is the only gate in front of it. |
+| Read an encyclopedia | live | Russian and English books wired at start, `kiwix-server` up four days. Not probed with a question that reached it. | Confirm a Russian question lands on the Russian book. |
+| Weather | broken | No `weather` block in the config, so the provider loads as `stub`. "какая сейчас погода?" answers "для какого города?" and the follow-up "Самара" dies with "Я тебя не разобрала." | Configure a provider and a home city; make the source park a clarify instead of emitting a question through the answer path. |
+| See an image | off | No vision model configured; the seam stores the image and says so. | The gemma-4 mmproj is already on the box. V-667. |
+
+## Memory
+
+| capability | state | evidence | named gap |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Facts | live | Environment facts land every minute: `desk_active` from hyprland, `netdata_alarm` from the poller. | One probe answered "я записала информацию о тебе" and wrote nothing. |
+| Notes | partial | His own taps from 111 hours ago are present, and so is a junk note the probe wrote: "я рассказывал тебе про байкал?" stored as a statement. | No surface deletes a note. `/api/revert` voids facts by key and nothing voids this. V-494. |
+| Recall | partial | Embedder loaded at 384 dimensions with the marker check passing. | The personal boundary scores the Baikal question as world, which is also the failing case in `TestONNXPersonalBoundary`. |
+| Memory evaluation | off | Evaluator and daemon loop shipped; it writes notes and cannot speak. Not probed. | Verify on the box before trusting anything it concluded. V-248. |
+
+## Proactive
+
+| capability | state | evidence | named gap |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Reminders | live | 50 fired. The ntfy failure ran once a minute until 03:05, then reminder #83 went out over Telegram at 03:06 and nothing retried. | None. V-715 closed on this evidence. |
+| Interruption policy | partial | At 12:30 the dispatcher logged `dropped morning:утро (sev1, presence=present)` after the voice sink found no session. | Nobody has verified the four outcomes against what they should be. V-281. |
+| Digest of held nudges | live | A rule's semantic fingerprint is checked before the phraser is paid. Six tests cover it; no suppressed candidate has come through the running daemon yet. | Watch one real suppression cycle end to end. V-687. |
+| Morning routine | partial | Today's checklist exists with all three items missing, the 08:00-11:00 window passed, and the one delivery attempt was dropped. | The routine builds the plan and never reaches him. V-280. |
+| Routine proposals | live | Page renders, zero proposed. | Idle, not broken. Nothing proves the detector would fire, and the proposer reads a hand-written Russian verb list. V-606. |
+| Tasks | live | 5 open, one overdue by four days, captured from the web tap, ordered by deadline and urgency. | Mail-derived task candidates are the untested half. V-130. |
+| RSS feeds | live | Two sources, checked every five minutes, LWN items as recent as eight hours old and tagged. | Read when asked, never announced. That is the intended shape. |
+
+## Reach
+
+| capability | state | evidence | named gap |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Telegram | live | Reminder #83 delivered at 03:06 through the socks relay; intake reading his chat since restart. | None. |
+| ntfy | off | `"disabled": true` in the committed config and no `NTFY_TOKEN` in the environment. | Off on purpose after the 403 storm. Re-enabling needs a write-scoped token first. |
+| Voice | broken | Every proactive message during the run fell through with "no live voice session". | The wire is up and nothing is listening on it. He reaches her by speaking; she cannot reach him. |
+| Web UI | live | All ten pages answered 200, the slowest in 31ms. | None. |
+
+## Speech and senses
+
+| capability | state | evidence | named gap |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Speech to text | live | Corrected by the owner, who transcribed real speech on the day. The audit box saw only that the workstation transcriber answers 200 on `192.168.1.105:8081` and that `mavend` probes it every 15s. | `mavsttd`, the local floor, runs a four-day-old image and its arm was not exercised separately. |
+| Text to speech | live | Corrected by the owner, who heard her speak on the day. The audit box saw only that the container was up. | Same four-day-old image. |
+| Wake word | live | Corrected by the owner, who woke her by voice. Runs on workpc under systemd, outside this stack and unreachable from the audit box. | Its relationship to the dark voice reach is unproven: waking her is not the same as her having a session to push into. V-515. |
+| Hearing | off | No capture client ships, so the path is unreachable. | Build the client or the capability stays theoretical. V-514. |
+| Speaker recognition | off | Planned, not verified on the box. | V-255. |
+
+## The ecosystem
+
+| capability | state | evidence | named gap |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Nexus | broken | Reachable and empty: "no entities yet". | Free text must resolve to a canonical entity id before any mutating call, so every act naming a target has nothing to resolve against. Seeding is a Nexus-side job. |
+| Praxis | live | Answers, reports nothing needing attention. | Nothing to do until it has something to surface. |
+| Hexis | partial | Registry populated: docker start, stop, restart, inspect, git diff and history, all through `workspace_mcp` with risk and access marked. | Blocked behind the empty Nexus. The capabilities exist and the targets do not. |
+| Smart home | off | `"enabled": false` in the config. | Blocked task, not a defect. V-256. |
+| LAN scan | live | Enabled in config with subnets, ports and rate set. Not probed. | Bluetooth control stays blocked; no bluez on the box. V-257. |
+
+## Operations
+
+| capability | state | evidence | named gap |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| The deployed stack | partial | Five containers up. `mavend` and `mavweb` rebuilt at `40bf556`; `mavsttd`, `mavttsd` and `mavpoll` on the four-day-old image. | One `docker compose up -d --force-recreate` on the three closes the drift. |
+| Encrypted database | live | Encrypted at rest, working copy in tmpfs, key from the environment and held only by `mavend`. | None. |
+| Passkey and step-up | broken | WebAuthn unconfigured, so every step-up gate is fail-open, including `POST /api/chat`, which reaches the act path. | The only high-severity item: anyone past the proxy can enroll a passkey, and step-up is process-global. V-683. |
+| Model swap | off | No `phraser.swap_models` allowlist, so the page has nothing to offer. A swap is never written down and does not survive a restart. | Add the allowed gguf paths, or accept that the resident model is whatever the config says. V-250. |
+| Self-update | off | Blocked at step 3: `mavupdate` cannot reach the containerized socket. | V-477. |
+| Tests and analyzers | live | Full race suite green across `./internal/...` and `./cmd/...`. Lint clean against 16 accepted findings, deadcode against 13. | One latency test fails only under the coverage run. V-718. |
+
+## What this rules out
+
+It rules out a roadmap ordered by code work. None of the four broken
+capabilities is a code defect. Weather has no configuration block. Nexus has no
+data. The voice reach has no listener. Step-up has no WebAuthn credential. Nine
+more capabilities are off by choice, or blocked on hardware and operator action.
+
+It also rules out a definition of done that a test suite can score. The suite
+was green during this run and 22 of 39 capabilities were not live. Every
+acceptance criterion has to be observable on the running box: an utterance and
+its expected answer, a log line, an outbox row, or an HTTP response.
+
+Two capabilities were scored on the owner's correction rather than on machine
+evidence. Those two are speech in and speech out, which is exactly what a stack
+audit cannot see from inside the stack. Any future audit run from `mavend`'s
+network namespace repeats the mistake unless it asks him.

+# Qwen3-1.7B is not safe as a recall-answerability verifier
+
+Date: 2026-08-15  
+Task: V-719  
+Box: Maven production container (`maven-mavend-1`), resident loopback llama-server  
+Build: Maven `98ab6462068a` plus the uncommitted V-719 deterministic recall gate  
+Model: stock `Qwen3-1.7B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf`, 1,132,952,128 bytes, context 4096
+
+## Setup
+
+Each request contained only a system instruction and a JSON object with the
+user-controlled `question` and stored `memory`. Generation used temperature 0,
+seed 424242, repeat penalty 1.1, a 128-token cap, and a bounded GBNF grammar.
+The verdict was accepted only when `answer` was `yes`; errors and malformed
+output were to abstain.
+
+The exact system instruction was:
+
+```text
+Ты — строгий классификатор логического следования для личной памяти. Вход — JSON с одним question и одним memory.
+Сначала выдели target: конкретный предмет/событие, чьё место или источник спрашивают. Затем memory_subject: предмет/событие, МЕСТО КОТОРОГО сообщает память. Предмет после слов места (в, на, под, рядом с, inside, at, under) — это место/контейнер, а НЕ memory_subject.
+answer=yes только если target и memory_subject — один и тот же конкретный референт и память прямо сообщает запрошенное место/источник. Настоящие синонимы и контекстные названия допустимы. Совпадение цвета, свойства, общего слова, контейнера, места или действия недостаточно. Уточнения принадлежности/состава не должны конфликтовать. Не используй внешние знания. Сомнение => no.
+
+Примеры:
+input: {"question":"где красная тетрадь?","memory":"зарядка лежит на красной тетради"}
+output: {"target":"красная тетрадь","memory_subject":"зарядка","answer":"no"}
+input: {"question":"где ключ от гаража?","memory":"ключ от офиса лежит под ковриком"}
+output: {"target":"ключ от гаража","memory_subject":"ключ от офиса","answer":"no"}
+input: {"question":"где дубликат ключа от мастерской?","memory":"запасной ключ мастерской лежит в ящике"}
+output: {"target":"дубликат ключа от мастерской","memory_subject":"запасной ключ мастерской","answer":"yes"}
+input: {"question":"where are the database settings?","memory":"the database configuration is in /etc/db"}
+output: {"target":"database settings","memory_subject":"database configuration","answer":"yes"}
+
+Верни только JSON требуемой формы.
+```
+
+The exact grammar was:
+
+```gbnf
+root   ::= "{" ws "\"target\"" ws ":" ws string "," ws "\"memory_subject\"" ws ":" ws string "," ws "\"answer\"" ws ":" ws answer ws "}"
+answer ::= "\"no\"" | "\"yes\""
+string ::= "\"" ([^"\\\x00-\x1F] | "\\" ["\\/bfnrt] | "\\u" [0-9a-fA-F]{4}){1,80} "\""
+ws     ::= [ \t\n]{0,2}
+```
+
+## Fixture matrix
+
+The four production-eligible true locatives produced 3 yes and 1 no. The
+other three previously silenced right-rank-1 cases were deliberately
+ineligible for this locative verifier and all returned no. All 15 fixture
+must-silent top candidates returned no.

+
+The ru-home-016 `yes` is internally inconsistent: the model rewrote the
+question target to `токен телеграма` and extracted the location path as the
+memory subject. A constrained output shape did not make the extracted evidence
+trustworthy.

+Expanded positives were 2/5. Expanded negatives were 22/27, with five false

+### Reminder cancellation gets first refusal
+
+`cmd/mavend/reminder_cancel.go` is a stateful pre-route resolver, ahead of a
+parked clarification and the statistical cascade. It accepts only an addressed
+command-position imperative plus the explicit reminder/alarm noun. Whole-token
+closed lexicons establish that frame; morphology compares a stored subject.
+Questions ("как отменить"), reported speech, past-tense reports, and
+prohibitions do not establish mutation authority.
+
+Resolution reads every pending reminder. Subject terms retain negation and
+quantities; parsed time must pass the same resolved-hour gate as capture. A
+single match calls the typed `CancelReminder` IPC method. Several matches are
+stored as `Session.Candidates` in the spoken order, capped at five, and only a
+whole affirmative ordinal may consume that list. Re-querying on the follow-up
+would let state changes move the ordinal, so it is forbidden. No match, an
+unread time, an out-of-range or spent ordinal, and an ambiguous delivery result
+all produce an explicit no-op.
+
+This rung is also present in `preRouteLadder`, so `/trace` records whether it
+won or declined on every surface. The reminder web page uses the same IPC
+mutation rather than a second store path.
