Rounds ten to thirteen ended with both reviewers accepting with P3 fixes; **round fourteen did not: Astra found a P2** (a first purchase's record and its intent's retirement were two transactions under no common lock, so a reconciliation paused on the provider read while the operator resolved the review recorded the retired purchase). Fixed in `abd1b76e`: the record consumes the exact standing intent in its own transaction, and the same lifecycle holds on every path (an intent under an open review is never retired by an expiry; a retired intent's completion and subscription events are settled, not retried; a refusal whose session read came back as another session files nothing), with tests that fail without each fix and six killed mutants (dispositions "Review fourteen"). Round fifteen (both accept with fixes) found the last exception to that lifecycle, a purchase corrected at the provider recording under its open review; `3527a066` closes it by the ruling: nothing records on an intent under an open review, and the operator's resolution retires the intent (default) or keeps it (`outcome: keep`) for the corrected purchase to record; a retired intent's events settle whatever intent stands. Round sixteen (both accept with fixes) tightened the new `keep` outcome: it is accepted only for an intent whose bound session reads back complete with a subscription (anything else would later expire unrecorded), and the outcome is written, replay-compared and audited; `db130cfc` carries those fixes, the operator's rejected-events listing (`GET /api/billing/rejected`, named missing by both reviewers since round eleven) and the provisioning script's currency-option notes aligned with the code. Round seventeen did not confirm either: Opus accepted with four P3s on the `keep` door and the rejected listing; **Astra found a P2 in the refusal's own order**: both sites that expire a bound session expired first and filed the review second, so a pass that read the expired session in between, or a crash between the two, retired the intent with no record. `68f6ee23` files the review first at both sites (a two-path race test runs the store's retirement inside the fake's expiry and wants the conflict; it fails with either order put back), closes the four P3s, adds two tests (an older resolutions table migrates with `retire`; the listing's 200-row bound, newest first, the account on each row) and corrects the comments and the design sentence both reviewers named. Gate and CI passed on `68f6ee23`. **Round eighteen did not confirm**: both reviewers found that with the review filed first, an operator's `retire` can delete the intent while its bound session is still open and payable (the expiry failed; nothing retries it; the resume path still offers the URL).

Astra rejected revision 1 (four P2s) and revision 2 (five P2s); revision 3 (`15041ca2`) narrows what is built first to `retire` and `keep`, with a paid or disputed refusal held until Paul rules, and is under its third and last bounded review. **The P2 is open in code.** Round eighteen's bounded findings are fixed in `15041ca2` (gate running).

| - `feat/carloku-metered-replicator-20261001` `6249af63`: eighteenth build. Reviews ten to fourteen (Opus accept with fixes, Astra reject) each found the previous build's own addition wanting; the fourteenth build made the link entry one to one and the fifteenth quotes every entry in the inventory's rendering (the drift key), classifies a link by the spelling its entry names, and makes the Accept test tell as-written from cleaned. Review fifteen (Opus accept with fixes, Astra reject on the deep items) found a regression the fifteenth build made: a relative link target was joined and so cleaned, which is not how the kernel resolves a `..` after a link, so a link to a directory outside the tree passed in silence; the sixteenth build concatenates uncleaned, with the fixture both asked for. Review sixteen (both) found that fixed and one bound left (the concatenated spelling could outgrow PATH_MAX); the seventeenth build `bffc76b5` stat'ed the target by itself against the link's directory, and **failed the gate and CI on its own fixture** (sized for a long temp root only), which review seventeen (Opus accept with fixes, Astra reject) had worked out, together with a worse defect in the same fix: the directory was opened by path with Go's default flags, so a FIFO a tenant swaps in would block the watch and Close. The eighteenth build (`e8211fc6`, `6249af63`) opens the directory as a directory and nothing else, sizes the fixture from the temp root, compares the rendering across sections, and corrects the comments, the test name and the outstanding item Astra listed; three mutants killed. Gate (exit 0, three cross builds) and CI passed on `6249af63`. Review eighteen: Opus accept with three P3s, Astra reject on the deep items. The nineteenth build `53e3dcd8` answered them (gate exit 0, three cross builds; CI passed). Review nineteen: Opus accept, Astra reject on the deep items. The twentieth build `c9ec11eb` makes the bounded changes (a tree claim refuses what a file claim refuses; the fixture's guard reachable; the no-recorder refusal quoted) and separates them in its dispositions from the deferred items; `c9ec11eb`: gate exit 0 with three cross builds (09:52Z), CI passed. Review twenty: Opus accept with fixes, Astra reject on the deep items. `e1280811` answers it with comments, a fixture and dispositions only (no behaviour change; gate running; not sent for another round): the two refusals Opus named as widening what stops a whole box are listed as decisions (11 and 12 in the decisions file), not made as changes. The deep items stay open and are listed in `READINESS.md`; none is minor, and the branch cannot be wired until they are closed or decided (the walk by directory descriptor, litestream's opens by path, durable transition state, the uid binding under approval H, the box-wide refusal decision). |

The first form of the listing's account fix looked the account up under open rows and deadlocked the store's one connection in the test; rows are read to the end first. Round 18 at `68f6ee23`: Opus accept with fixes, Astra reject, on the same P2: with the review now filed before the expiry, an operator's `retire` can delete the intent while its bound session is still open and payable (the expiry failed; nothing retries it; the resume path still offers the URL). The supervisor ruled that this is not fixed by moving calls again but by a durable protocol (recorded refusal authoritative; the session's fate proven from provider evidence and recorded; atomic operator completion; a paid session settled by a separate disposition) with one bounded design review before another implementation cycle. Revision 1 of that design (`8c72e88b`) was rejected by Astra (four P2s), and revision 2 (`b4ff6b72`) too (five P2s: the hand-made subscription's own obligations at `retire`; the settlement predicate; observation times against cached answers; which evidence a dispute's resolution makes authoritative; the migration barrier). Revision 3 (`15041ca2`) was rejected a third time (four P2s, each with a conservative hold as its smallest change); revision 4 applies those holds and is built as **stage one** in `59666bab` (`billingretirement.go`): the operator's `retire` is accepted only for a session proven expired and unpaid by a provider read with nothing attached and nothing contradictory; `keep` only for a completed, paid session with no subscription attached but its own; a paid session that is not kept, any case a hand-made subscription touched, any contradicted case and every review from before the build are held; the door requests the expiry and answers 503 while it is unproven; the pass retries on a schedule; a click under review gets no URL; contradictions are disputes; a delete barrier stops an older binary. Eight tests, one per interleaving; eleven existing tests reworked; seventeen mutants killed. **The P2 is recorded as open until round nineteen (Opus and Astra, running on `59666bab`) accepts this code**; it is not claimed closed here. The bounded findings of round eighteen are fixed there with tests and four killed mutants (attribution of a retired session's completion beside a replacement; a `keep` decided during the gate answered by the replay comparison; the nil-billing and tie-break tests). The findings since round ten were not minor: each was a real gap in the lifecycle of an intent under review, and the rounds have converged on the operator's door rather than the money path | integrated end to end; not merged; the merge waits on a round ending with both accepting and nothing left to fix, and CI on the tip | |
