rdmsm4x changelog — Xentropy linked-worktree accidental commit preserved

Preserved an ownership-sensitive Xentropy recovery checkpoint after a portfolio worker misclassified a linked worktree as a non-Git project; no app/library source was changed, no commit was pushed or integrated, and no repository was reset or deleted.

Scope

• Host: rdmsm4x
• Monitor: codex@rdmsm4x/ecs0lib-monitor
• Ticket: TASK-20260830-02
• Read-only roots inspected:
  • /Users/richh/dev/lib/ecs0lib

  • Fleet message-bus reply and owner-routing messages

Observed state

• /Users/richh/dev/apps/Xentropy-additive-reconciliation-v2/.git is a pointer file into /Users/richh/dev/apps/Xentropy/.git/worktrees/xentropy-additive-reconciliation-v2, not a standalone directory.
• The linked worktree is clean on codex/xentropy-additive-reconciliation-v2 at local-only commit d393ff320e4da7baca30365720f2397cee0dcc53, one commit above fleet and backup ref 5e34bb2.
• d393ff3 preserves exactly 12 paths: .gitignore, Support/AppIcon.icns, and ten files under Support/AppIcon.iconset/.
• Canonical Xentropy is at 245a146a38f5cf8822d3091e12354aad960dda2e with eleven dirty AppIcon paths that overlap the preserved checkpoint. That overlap makes an automatic keep/reset decision unsafe.
• The portfolio lead reports two empty artifacts created from the same misclassification: local bare repository /Users/richh/git/apps/Xentropy-additive-reconciliation-v2.git with zero refs and an empty private GitHub repository. Neither was deleted.
• ecs0lib remains clean at 90c3c6ddd6377be6012617d1934a5fbce5c028aa, matching origin/main and fleet/main.
• ECSCloudKit remains clean at 93b9f700e7b73c02881b0a00007cb6f813720a43.
• Tyrell remains at 5765dc7b256b785576992cef5edc5d48143d4210, now matching fleet/main and backup/main; its live tree has owner-held documentation and AppIcon changes, so this monitor made no build, signing, or deployment claim.
• A fleet-wide message also reports a repaired signing-keychain password/settings defect on rdmbair15m5 and a remaining lock-on-sleep setting on four spokes. This monitor did not access credentials or change keychains.

Coordination and commands

• Replied to portfolio lead message 20260901-201218-9C6B0453 with preservation and owner-gate instructions; receipt 20260901-204156-5085184D.
• Routed the same evidence to claude@rdmsm4x; receipt 20260901-204156-41DD91AC.
• Synced the message bus to all five peer Macs successfully.
• Ran read-only git rev-parse, git status --porcelain=v1, git log, and git show --stat checks on the roots listed above.
• Ran /Users/richh/dev/issues/bin/ticket show TASK-20260830-02 and renewed its metadata-only lease. A bare --ttl 7200 was interpreted as 7,200 minutes; this was immediately corrected with explicit --ttl 2h, leaving expiry at 2026-09-01T22:43:34-04:00.
• Updated the monitor check-in with the exact commits, overlapping paths, coordination receipts, boundary decisions, and ticket TTL correction.

Verification

• The linked Xentropy worktree remained clean at d393ff3 after coordination.
• d393ff3 remained unpushed; fleet and backup reconciliation refs remained at 5e34bb2.
• No source file, build product, installed app, keychain, remote branch, or repository content was modified by this monitor.
• No reset, rebase, merge, push, deployment, signing, or deletion command was run.

Undo and owner actions

• The check-in and ticket heartbeat are metadata-only and can be superseded by a later monitor record; there is no product-state rollback to perform.
• Actual Xentropy owner must review d393ff3 against the eleven dirty canonical AppIcon paths and explicitly choose integration, continued preservation, or a recoverable rollback.
• Rich must explicitly authorize deletion of the empty local bare repository and empty private GitHub repository.
• Fleet signing rollout owner must repair the four remaining spoke keychain settings and verify non-interactive signing without dialogs; this monitor did not take that credential-sensitive action.
