+# TK-10928 monitoring addendum
+
+Correlation: `codex-yf-20260903T1610Z-monitor`
+
+This addendum corrects the interpretation of the point-in-time writer sample in
+`/private/tmp/tk10928-monitor.I50vtK/evidence.txt`.
+
+- At capture, `dead-agentabrams/.git` was 1,094,124 KiB and the worktree status
+ digest was `5dc2ab533502e79a10a31b1caac360672d84ded20297bb8e7845efa68e20ecf2`.
+- At independent reproduction after Cody's review, `.git` was 1,094,196 KiB and
+ the status digest was `e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855`.
+- Therefore, zero Git-like processes and zero open `.git` handles establish only
+ that no writer was observed at the capture instant. They do not establish
+ durable quiescence or a stable repository size.
+- The original concise assertions begin at line 5,173 of a 5,267-line,
+ 153,106-byte raw evidence file. This addendum is the operator-facing summary.
+- The ticketmaster snapshot says `monitor-only`, `collide=true`, and
+ `steveGated=false`. The canonical TK-10928 `steve_action` blocker takes
+ precedence: history/ref rewrite, pruning/GC, threshold masking, and
+ remote/process changes remain gated unless Steve approves that exact action.
+
+The bounded monitoring increment is still valid. The incident remains unresolved
+and gated. The next safe seed is a timestamped sample after the next scheduled run,
+with launchd exit and artifact identity correlated immutably.
