+**PROSECUTOR:** SHIP is premature. Forty passing tests and isolated checks do not explain the previous wrapper’s exit1/unset-variable failure. Editing during execution is a suspected cause, not a demonstrated diagnosis. An unattended dangerous-mode loop magnifies failures, and prompt-only sequential limits cannot establish enforcement. If SHIP implies runtime readiness, the evidence does not support it.
+
+**DEFENDER:** The proposed SHIP authorizes a scoped local commit, followed by a fresh runtime cycle before claiming health. It does not authorize deployment or certify policy enforcement. Exit75/noWorker has independent confirmation; the earlier failure remains explicitly unresolved. Preserving an already-authorized loop does not expand authority. Requiring Steve’s approval for local verification would add a gate without addressing the missing evidence.
+
+**JUDGE:** The prosecutor establishes a decisive objection to declaring runtime health, but not to committing the scoped change. The controlling distinction is the action actually authorized: local release with runtime verification outstanding, while deployment remains gated. A failed fresh cycle would defeat a subsequent health claim.
+
+FINAL: KEEP
+
+The preliminary decision is justified within its stated scope: commit the tested local code, then verify a fresh runtime cycle before claiming operational success. The unexplained wrapper failure prevents a runtime-health conclusion but does not establish that the local commit is unsound; neither deployment authorization nor mechanically enforced sequential limits follows from SHIP.

+**PROSECUTOR:** A risks formalizing the failure it claims to fix. Sorting by live board rank does not guarantee progress: the same blocked or repeatedly actionable high-ranked tickets can consume every cycle while lower-ranked work starves. Requiring a disposition for every open ticket also conflicts with a six-increment execution budget unless bookkeeping is explicitly separated from execution. Delegation and evidence requirements can produce more administrative activity without advancing source tickets. A deterministic queue alone solves ordering, not liveness.
+
+**DEFENDER:** Those objections identify implementation requirements, not grounds to reject A. A explicitly requires evidence-backed dispositions, records gates and skips on source tickets, and prohibits new monitoring-only tickets. A gate or skip therefore cannot count as an executed safe increment; the worker must continue to eligible work. The six-increment cap bounds mutations, while disposition accounting explains what happened to the remaining tickets. Sorting by board rank respects the stated priority constraint; equal service across ranks is not established as a requirement. Reusing the scheduler, lock, cost guard, and hard gates also limits the scope of change.
+
+**JUDGE:** The prosecutor correctly distinguishes ordered processing from guaranteed progress. The defender nevertheless establishes that A contains the necessary accountability mechanisms and that its execution cap need not cap ticket assessment. Nothing supplied demonstrates that replacing the existing loop would resolve these weaknesses more effectively.
+
+FINAL: KEEP
+
+The controlling argument is that A directly connects each cycle to source-ticket execution or an evidence-backed reason for nonexecution while preserving the existing operational constraints. Its strongest vulnerability is allowing bookkeeping to masquerade as progress; enforcing the stated distinction between safe increments and recorded gates or skips addresses that vulnerability without overturning the decision.
