Recovered the private Codex Pets archive into its active rdmsm4x project checkout and ingested sanitized TARS, CASE, KIPP, and Joey provenance plus fresh validation evidence without changing installed pets or selection state.

rdmsm4x-changelog-20260823-2027-codex-pets-ingestion

Scope

• Host: rdmsm4x only.
• Task: 01a0311f-1a33-7f41-ac93-5a7aa66a5e41.
• Project: /Users/richh/dev/LLM/codex/codex-pets.
• Branch: codex/ingest-pet-provenance-20260823.
• Commit: 407e4686725ef61d96e35842d7df6d909dda3de2.
• No fleet deployment, application restart, selected-avatar change, public visibility change, or remote Git push.

Files and state changed

• Created the independent Git checkout at /Users/richh/dev/LLM/codex/codex-pets from the clean private archive, then restored origin to https://github.com/richhdoty/codex-pets.git.
• Updated project records: README.md, SESSION-STATE.md, ISSUES.md, and SOURCES.md.
• Added PROVENANCE.md with source authority, package hashes, source-task IDs, superseded source hashes, and privacy boundaries.
• Added reports/ingestion-20260823/ with four fresh Hatch Pet validation reports, four deterministic contact sheets, a digest ledger, an ingestion summary, and an independent visual-QA record.
• Updated the existing Codex Pets milestone line in /Users/richh/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Codex/projects/AGENTS.md principles/PROJECTS.md.
• Published task ownership in /Users/richh/.agent-coordination/checkins/codex-rdmsm4x-codex-pets-ingestion-20260823.json and coordinated the shared-project boundary with portfolio task 01a030d6-03da-7de0-83b8-b07c58d37a97.
• Filed this record in Apple Notes folder rdmsm4x with title rdmsm4x-changelog-20260823-2027-codex-pets-ingestion. The fleet helper first also filed an additive copy in llmlog because its current v2 behavior conflicts with the inherited per-host-folder rule; that extra note was left intact rather than deleted.

Source and preservation evidence

• Previous canonical checkout retained unchanged at /Users/richh/Documents/Codex/Projects/codex-pets, clean main at 152b144ffe2a249c00c413648eef588bbf7dba74 matching private origin/main at ingestion start.
• Read-only fleet preservation capture retained at /Users/richh/dev/_migration/portfolio-ingestion/rdmpw3275m/20260823T201500Z-code-focused/codex-pets; its SHA256SUMS passed and its Git bundle verified as complete at the same base commit.
• Original TARS build remains at /Users/richh/Documents/Codex/2026-08-12/cre/outputs/tars-pet.
• Original CASE generation project remains at /Users/richh/Documents/Codex/Projects/case-pet.
• Approved Joey source/export remains at /Users/richh/Documents/macOS/joey-pet-run/exports/Joey-Codex-Work-Pet.
• Installed packages remain unchanged at /Users/richh/.codex/pets/{tars,case,kipp,joey} and match the archive packages byte-for-byte.

Commands and tooling

• Synced/read fleet coordination records and checked active ownership.
• Read the referenced Codex task and related CASE, TARS, and Joey tasks using supported task tools.
• Cloned the clean archive into the empty target with git clone --no-local --no-hardlinks, restored the GitHub remote, fetched, and compared HEAD with origin/main.
• Ran the Hatch Pet validate_atlas.py --require-v2 --chroma-key '#0000FF' and make_contact_sheet.py scripts with the bundled workspace Python for all four pets.
• Compared archive and installed package bytes with cmp and SHA-256.
• Ran git fsck --full --strict, git diff --check, shasum -a 256 -c, gitleaks dir, and gitleaks git.
• Used one isolated lightweight read-only reviewer for contact-sheet QA.

Verification evidence

• Four of four fresh v2 validations: ok: true, 1536×2288, 8 columns × 11 rows, RGBA, sprite version 2, no errors, no warnings, and zero transparent hidden-RGB residue.
• TARS, CASE, and KIPP fresh validation semantics match their checked-in reports after excluding the absolute file path.
• Joey remains ok: true; the current validator informationally counts one opaque #0000FF pixel in four used cells, with no error/warning and no visible defect in contact-sheet review.
• Independent visual QA: four passes; repair rows none.
• Archive versus installed manifests and atlases: eight byte comparisons pass.
• Ingestion SHA256SUMS: 20 of 20 entries pass.
• Git integrity and whitespace checks pass.
• Gitleaks 8.30.1 found no leaks in the working tree or seven-commit history.
• Final local commit: 407e4686725ef61d96e35842d7df6d909dda3de2.

Undo

• To return the project view to the pre-ingestion archive without losing this work, switch the active checkout back to main; retain branch codex/ingest-pet-provenance-20260823 and commit 407e468 as the recoverable record.
• The prior source checkout and fleet preservation capture remain available for an independent restore.
• To undo the operating-index update, restore only the Codex Pets line from the prior iCloud version of PROJECTS.md; no other index line was intentionally changed.
• No runtime rollback is required because installed pets, selections, applications, and fleet hosts were not changed.

Outstanding owner actions

• Optional: review reports/ingestion-20260823/*-contact.png.
• Optional: approve or reject the separate preview-only TARS2 study.
• Optional: publish commit 407e468 to the private remote after review; this session did not push.
