**PROSECUTOR:** Overturn. Reloading persisted state before a write does not make compare-and-write atomic: another writer can change quantities between those operations. The proposed correction could therefore replace a demonstrated stale-cache bug with an undetected lost-update bug. No completed test results, independently verified commit, or Cody re-gate are supplied. “SHIP” risks converting a prepared patch into implied readiness while TK11300’s live adapter remains gated.

**DEFENDER:** The preliminary decision authorizes a correction and a verification process; it does not certify an existing patch or authorize production release. It explicitly conditions acceptance on tests, actual CLI execution, independent commit verification, and Cody’s re-gate. The concurrency objection strengthens that verification requirement: establish whether competing writers are possible within the supported local execution model, and, if so, prove that conflicting updates are rejected or safely serialized. Merely reloading would then be insufficient. All live, external, and operational gates remain closed.

**JUDGE:** The prosecutor establishes a credible failure mode and correctly rejects any claim of present readiness. But that defeats unconditional shipment, which the preliminary decision expressly excludes. The authorized path remains to correct the reproduced defect and accept only independently verified local results. Failed verification means no shipment.

FINAL: KEEP

The controlling argument is that FIX-THEN-SHIP is conditional authorization for a reversible local correction, with acceptance dependent on evidence that the corrected adapter handles persisted-state drift and any supported competing writes safely. Neither a prepared patch nor passing stale-cache tests alone satisfies that condition; independent verification and Cody’s re-gate remain required, and the unresolved operational, live-adapter, and external-dependency gates remain blocked.
