CHECKPOINT — Birth Fix Next-Cycle Verification / Trigger Reconciliation / RP Object Hygiene

Date: 2026-06-05 → 2026-06-06 (spanned the scheduled 13:00 UTC cycle) Final status: PARTIAL → CYCLE VERIFICATION PASSED (recursion contained over 5 post-fix cycles); trigger reconciliation + RP UI repoint remain owner/operator-gated by design. Execution mode: EXECUTION Live mutation: YES — additive views only (15 CREATE/REPLACE VIEW); birth-neutral: birth_registry 1,210,742 → 1,210,778 (the +36 over ~13h are legitimate non-DDL births; 0 births from this session's DDL). No DML, no trigger DDL committed, no source/IU edits. Supersedes (continues): checkpoint-birth-explosion-containment-policy-object-hygiene-fix-2026-06-05.

13:00 cycle verification — PASS_RECURSION_CONTAINED

Verified across 5 consecutive post-fix executor cycles (06-05 13:00/16:00/19:00/22:00, 06-06 01:00 UTC), not just the first.

• entity_labels births per cycle = 0 (pre-fix: 4,043/cycle).
• heal_description_basic (recursion source) rows since fix = 0 (last-ever 06-05 10:01, pre-fix).
• exempt births per cycle = 0; registry_changelog births = 0.
• H11a = detect_only / auto_fix_action=NULL → CONTAINED.
• Idempotency coalescing confirmed: H11b occ=9, HC-SCHEMA occ=9, dot-dot-health occ=5.
• Total growth +36 over 13h vs ~26,000 if uncontained.
• The 13:00 window's 14 system_issues = legitimate distinct findings from OTHER crons (dot-context-pack-verify, dot-dot-health), not recursion.

Spike recurrence

NO active recurrence. last_10m≈0–1, last_1h≈2 (legitimate). The 07:00/10:00 UTC bursts (5,056/5,177) were PRE-fix. duplicate_issue_guard = ALERT only because of pre-fix 24h residue (ages out ~06-06 10:00 UTC).

Trigger reconciliation readiness

29 EXEMPT-active (gateway-neutralized) / 50 DEFERRED-active / 5 REQUIRED-missing / 18 DUPLICATE. No-go guard 3/3 PASS. DROP rehearsed in BEGIN..ROLLBACK on tasks: triggers 2→1 (kept trg_birth_tasks), birth before==after, ROLLBACK restored 2 — proven valid + reversible + birth-neutral. TG_ARGV parity handled (table_registry keeps ('table_id'), workflows keeps ('process_code'); blind dedup would be wrong). Decision: OPERATOR_OWNER_PACKET_READY — not auto-applied (platform owns trigger DDL; gateway already neutralizes, so no urgency).

RP object hygiene repoint status

SSOT already clean: managed_object_count=2,927 vs raw_birth_count=1,210,742 (98.97% noise), provenance=6,597, deferred=58. No RP view uses raw count as managed-object truth. Only v_rp_authority_execution_preflight exposes a raw diagnostic fact → operator-UI repoint candidate (no DB change; existing UI not broken). Raw pollution NOT hidden (truth contract publishes raw + noise breakdown alongside clean count). Added v_rp_birth_count_truth_contract, v_rp_managed_vs_raw_birth_surface, v_rp_object_hygiene_repoint_plan.

Monitoring guards

v_birth_fix_no_go_guard 7/7 PASS (live function-def + window reads, with teeth). v_birth_fix_operational_guard_dashboard consolidates spike/runaway/dup-issue/h11a/rp-hygiene/trigger guards.

New finding (minor, non-recursive)

Some checks (e.g. dot-context-pack-verify / check_manifest_age) embed a changing measured value in the issue title, defeating fn_log_issue's coalesce_key → ~2 non-recursive births/cycle. Bounded follow-up; also surfaces a real ≈789h-stale manifest. Fix: stabilize title, move value to description/evidence.

Next macro

MONITOR_WITH_GUARDS.

Exact blocker

HUMAN AUTHORITY ONLY — platform: COMMIT 18-duplicate trigger packet; operator: RP UI repoint to managed_object_count; optional: stabilize title-variance checks. Zero engineering blocker.

Gotchas (this session)

• query_pg (RO, 5s) times out on full birth_registry scans → read heavy/composite views via ssh contabo → docker exec -i postgres psql -U directus -d directus, SET statement_timeout=0.
• DDL path: same ssh→docker exec psql (query_pg is read-only). Pipe local SQL over ssh stdin to avoid VPS file-perm issues.
• Background ssh sleep for a ~50-min wait dies with exit 255 (connection reset) — do not use long idle ssh sleeps; re-query after the fact instead (the date may roll over).
• count(*) on a LEFT JOIN counts the preserved left row (phantom "1" when zero children match) → use count(child.id). Hit twice this session; both fixed.
• birth ts column = born_at; system_health_checks has NO heal_description column (cols: check_kind, auto_fix_action, …).
• Each KB upload births 1 knowledge_documents (BIRTH_REQUIRED provenance) — expected.
