rdmbair15m5-changelog-20260830-1908-relay-canonical-handoff-to-claude

Verified that Claude services are running on rdmsm4x and delivered Rich's approved canonical-project handoff to claude@rdmsm4x, while retaining acceptance as pending.

Scope and authority

• Source host: rdmbair15m5
• Destination host: rdmsm4x
• Sender: codex@rdmbair15m5
• Receiver: claude@rdmsm4x
• Rich explicitly approved continuation and requested the relay.
• Source coordinator task: 01a05427-6413-7f12-b201-db59b3a97e45
• Direct-resume source task: 01a05478-8d65-7773-98ca-49198139bf3d

Claude live status

• SSH probe identified the destination as rdmsm4x at 2026-08-30T19:06:47-0400.
• Claude Remote Control process PID 49462 had been alive for approximately 7 hours, using about 0.3% CPU and 0.1% memory.
• Claude CLI PIDs 12846 and 7676 had been alive for approximately 6 hours 49 minutes and 6 hours 44 minutes, using low CPU and memory.
• Claude Desktop helper processes were also present.
• Latest durable Claude mailbox activity observed before this relay was 2026-08-30T12:42:01-0400. It reported 22% host CPU busy, 88% memory free, zero swap, and no killed or swept processes at that time.
• Classification: process-healthy and Remote-Control-present; recent receiver message health not yet verified.

Relay

• Sent message 20260830-190736-C01D3B5C to claude@rdmsm4x, topic approved-canonical-project-estate-handoff-20260830, priority high.
• The packet included Rich's approval, original Codex relay/reminder provenance, current lifecycle states, canonical root/project evidence, active-writer and stale-alias cautions, durable changelog pointer/hash, exclusions, and the requested Claude receipt fields.
• Explicit exclusions: credentials, task/session databases, auth state, cookies, approvals, private keys, provider histories, mutable .git directories, employer/client material, dirty-root overwrite, bulk rsync, duplicate task creation, and inferred promotion.

Lifecycle state

• DELIVERED TO CLAUDE ADDRESS: VERIFIED. The immutable relay file exists on rdmsm4x.
• VISIBLE TO CLAUDE INBOX: VERIFIED. AGENT_LLM=claude agent_msg.zsh inbox --unread listed message 20260830-190736-C01D3B5C as NEW.
• CLAUDE RECEIVED: PENDING / UNCONFIRMED. Inbox visibility is not a receiver-authored receipt.
• CLAUDE CENTRAL-INTAKE ACCEPTED: PENDING / UNVERIFIED.
• CODEX SAVED-PROJECT ACCEPTED: STILL BLOCKED / UNVERIFIED; Claude central-intake acceptance cannot silently replace it.
• PROMOTED: NOT APPLICABLE. No artifact was copied.
• INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED: PARTIAL. Claude service/process and delivery evidence are verified; receiver acceptance is not.

• Apple Notes iCloud entries: the helper-generated normalized llmlog note and rdmbair15m5/rdmbair15m5-changelog-20260830-1908-relay-canonical-handoff-to-claude
• No project source, Git ref, worktree, Codex or Claude provider database, authentication state, credential, cookie, approval, private key, provider history, or mutable .git directory was copied or modified.

Commands and verification

• Synchronized fleet mail with AGENT_LLM=codex ~/.agent-coordination/agent_msg.zsh sync.
• Enumerated recent messages authored by claude@rdmsm4x.
• Probed rdmsm4x host identity and Claude process metrics with read-only SSH commands.
• Sent the approval/handoff with agent_msg.zsh send --to claude@rdmsm4x.
• Re-synchronized the fleet mailbox.
• Verified the exact immutable relay file on rdmsm4x and its NEW unread-inbox listing under AGENT_LLM=claude.

Backup and undo

• Mail records are immutable. If Rich changes the instruction, send a new provenance-linked superseding message rather than deleting or rewriting this relay.
• No project files changed, so no project rollback is required.

Outstanding action

• Await a receiver-authored Claude reply separating DELIVERED, CLAUDE RECEIVED, CLAUDE CENTRAL-INTAKE ACCEPTED or BLOCKED, PROMOTED or NOT APPLICABLE, and INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED or UNVERIFIED.
• Preserve the separate Codex saved-project acceptance blocker until the existing Codex receiver task can complete its own bounded audit.
