Preserved a newly visible ownerless ecs0lib Hardware/Provenance change set, refreshed fleet/app adoption and ticket state, and routed two lifecycle decisions without modifying product source or stopping user-owned processes.

Scope

• Execution host: rdmsm4x.
• Observed hosts: all six fleet hosts through the message bus; direct read-only process and swap check on rdmbair15m5.
• Canonical roots inspected read-only: /Users/richh/dev/lib/ecs0lib, /Users/richh/dev/lib/ECSCloudKit, /Users/richh/dev/apps, /Users/richh/dev/fleet/homebrew-intel, and /Users/richh/dev/issues.
• This monitor changed only its own coordination records, ticket heartbeat/comment, immutable bus messages, this changelog, and the corresponding Apple Notes entry. It did not edit, stage, build, test, sign, deploy, publish, delete, signal, or restart any app or library source or runtime.

Local state changed

• Updated /Users/richh/.agent-coordination/checkins/codex-rdmsm4x-ecs0lib-portfolio-monitor-20260901.json with the 23:44 evidence snapshot. Validated as JSON; post-update SHA-256: d5f59e4bd02aa72dbcc470d8da0fdd12212437136f26c9077377fc9f69766a55.
• Renewed the codex@rdmsm4x/ecs0lib-monitor lease on TASK-20260830-02 through 2026-09-02T01:41:10-0400 and appended a bounded evidence comment.
• Sent immutable coordination messages:
  • 20260901-233643-6529EDE3: requested exact ownership/ticket resolution and explicit-path preservation for the untracked ecs0lib work; also asked the FEAT-20260901-45 worker to renew its stale lease before more writes.
  • 20260901-234054-0354C996: separated the resolved canonical-content disposition from the unresolved duplicate-session lifecycle and requested an explicit survivor/quarantine decision.
• Added this file: /Users/richh/dev/LLM/Claude/changelogs/rdmsm4x-changelog-20260901-2347-ecs0lib-owner-gate-and-fleet-lifecycle-reconciliation.md.

Canonical ecs0lib evidence and preservation boundary

• HEAD remains 90c3c6ddd6377be6012617d1934a5fbce5c028aa.
• The worktree now exposes 14 untracked Swift files totaling 152,835 bytes:
  • Sources/ECS0System/Hardware/: CPUInfo.swift, CPUInspector.swift, CPUMicroarchitecture.swift, DarwinSysctl.swift, VectorCapability.swift.
  • Sources/ECS0System/Provenance/: BuildProvenanceType.swift, BuildToolchain.swift, FormulaProvenance.swift, HomebrewProvenanceAuditor.swift, HomebrewReceiptParser.swift.
  • Tests/ECS0LibTests/: CPUInspectorTests.swift, Challenger_M2_ProvenanceMatrixTests.swift, HomebrewProvenanceAdversarialTests.swift, HomebrewProvenanceAuditorTests.swift.
• A 23:00 monitor pass saw a clean tree. Representative files preserve 18:58-19:22 birth/mtime while their change/inode metadata is 2026-09-01 23:10:11 EDT, consistent with files appearing or being restored after 23:10 with preserved times.
• No matching ticket, active claim, or live file holder was found. claude@rdmpw3275m reported the work as substantial and appropriate for the shared library, denied touching it, and correctly held its overlapping updateRoo migration until canonical ownership is established.
• SHA-256 values for all 14 files are stored in the monitor check-in. Examples: CPUInspector.swift 7b6959b5589852fa74ecb7ec43a42e6d3029414955cc11c642b00e95f29364b2; HomebrewProvenanceAuditor.swift fec9c0e2c5c6f762c7ba3288d76fb9ea35810f9bb7bd24b60edc7ca858c02712; Challenger_M2_ProvenanceMatrixTests.swift faf59f39dde98ac19cd050cd451a3595e2bac6ae8f8aa3f00c8232a08d3c6abb.
• Preservation action: no source action. The files remain byte-for-byte in place and owner-gated; consumers must not adopt the unowned API. The canonical lead was asked to name the owner and ticket, then choose an explicit-path commit or authorized snapshot. This monitor offered isolated verification only after an exact release.

Portfolio and new-project state

• Recomputed 52 canonical immediate app roots: ecs0lib is declared by 26 and imported in production source by 22; ECSCloudKit is 15 declarations / 1 importer; active ProcessRunner declarations are 0. These counts are unchanged from the accepted baseline.
• Six canonical roots still have dirty or owner-gated integration state: dataMOB, hyperFile, scanRoo, hyperTune, replicantDB, and rooDB. rooDB is aligned at b462f0e but remains dirty and still has no production ECS import in the canonical scan.
• /Users/richh/dev/fleet/homebrew-intel is now a committed and mirrored project at 877c7b7771a33e513cc1f8dbf4543fca0cfd0ae2 after initial commit 124ab1eee39b7b4ad94ac200616ccb11f722da61; main, fleet/main, and backup/main align.
• LaunchAgent com.eastcoastscience.bottlemirror is loaded, has run once, and reports last exit 0 on its hourly interval. The current manifest count is 0 and no bottle directory or bottle artifact exists, so configuration is not bottle delivery.
• EPIC-20260901-04 remains open. FEAT-20260901-45 is in progress but its recorded claude@rdmpw3275m claim was stale/reclaimable; renewal was requested before further writes.

Ticket and runtime lifecycle

• ISSUE-20260901-23 is resolved with a verified KEEP disposition for ten SESSION-STATE.md-only commits and two initial library imports. Direct read-only inspection at 23:43 nevertheless found both same-session Claude processes still live on rdmbair15m5: pid 2624 and pid 70386, each running claude --resume 8d3fab16-38d4-4ccb-a35c-23644fe23a4e. The monitor did not signal or choose between them; an explicit survivor/quarantine decision remains with Rich/the lead.
• ISSUE-20260901-25 is resolved at Xentropy commit a3ea1654b4c24e9f645452d677f6eb3ae2a0068a. The owner reports the targeted FleetInstallerContractTests result as 2 tests / 0 failures. This monitor has not independently rerun it because no exact verification handoff was issued.
• New high-severity ISSUE-20260901-26 records replicantDB.app memory pressure on rdmbair15m5. Direct 23:43 inspection found pid 1588 still live and vm.swapusage at 24,380.69 MB used of 25,600 MB. The reporter paused further builds and killed nothing. The monitor also killed or restarted nothing.
• ISSUE-20260901-24, EPIC-20260831-02, SEC-20260830-01, and REV-20260901-01 remain open.

Commands run

• ~/.agent-coordination/agent_msg.zsh sync and focused message reads/searches.
• ticket show ISSUE-20260901-23, ticket show ISSUE-20260901-25, ticket show ISSUE-20260901-26, and ticket claims --all.
• ticket heartbeat TASK-20260830-02 --as codex@rdmsm4x/ecs0lib-monitor --ttl 2h ... and ticket comment TASK-20260830-02 --author codex@rdmsm4x ....
• Read-only Git/status, file enumeration, stat/hash, app-import scan, commit/ref, LaunchAgent, and manifest checks summarized above and in the check-in.
• Direct read-only SSH: ps for pids 2624, 70386, and 1588 plus /usr/sbin/sysctl vm.swapusage on rdmbair15m5.
• jq -e and shasum -a 256 for the updated monitor check-in.

Verification evidence

• Message-bus sync succeeded to rdmbair13m5, rdmbair15m5, rdmpw3265m, rdmpw3275m, and jdmbair13m5.
• Updated check-in parsed successfully with jq -e and hashed to d5f59e4bd02aa72dbcc470d8da0fdd12212437136f26c9077377fc9f69766a55.
• ticket heartbeat confirmed a two-hour renewal; ticket comment confirmed the append.
• git status --short reproduced exactly the two untracked directories and four untracked test files listed above; individual SHA-256 hashes were recomputed after the ownership request.
• Direct process check reproduced both duplicate session pids and the replicantDB.app pid; direct sysctl reproduced the swap measurement.

Backups, recovery, and undo

• No product source or runtime was changed, so there is no app/library rollback action.
• The 14 ownerless files remain in their original canonical paths and were not staged or rewritten. Their full hash manifest is in the check-in; filesystem-integrity and repository watchers provide independent observation history.
• Ticket comments and bus messages are append-only/immutable coordination evidence and should not be deleted. A correction, if needed, should be appended.
• To undo only this monitor's mutable metadata update, restore the preceding check-in version from the coordination-integrity history if available, then append a ticket correction; do not discard the source files or reset any product worktree.
• This changelog is additive. Apple Notes receives an identical host-folder record through notes_changelog.zsh; if Notes publication fails, this Markdown file remains the durable archive and the failure must stay outstanding.

Outstanding owner actions

• Canonical lead: identify the author/owner and ticket for the 14 ecs0lib files; explicitly preserve them by owner-approved commit or authorized snapshot; then release an isolated path and exact evidence request if independent verification is wanted.
• claude@rdmpw3275m: renew/reclaim FEAT-20260901-45 before more writes, and keep the overlapping updateRoo migration paused until the ecs0lib API has an owner-approved commit.
• Rich/canonical lead: decide or explicitly quarantine the surviving duplicate session on rdmbair15m5; the content disposition alone does not stop the second process.
• replicantDB owner: investigate ISSUE-20260901-26 using comparable time-series memory evidence before any restart or rollout decision.
• Homebrew Intel project owner: build, verify, and record the first bottle before describing the hourly mirror configuration as a delivered bottle service.
