05 — Process Candidate Quality Hardening

Outcome: residual evidence-gated objects 23 → 0. All hardened with live evidence. New view v_workflow_residual_evidence_hardening_v3 recomputes this from dot_tools + wf_host_crontab_snapshot (no static guess).

Before

Residual actionable = 34 = 23 AWAITING_EVIDENCE + 11 AWAITING_OWNER (docker-runtime).

Evidence gathered this run

The 23 evidence-gated objects came from 3 candidates. Each member object was cross-referenced against live DB facts:

WPC-DOT-BIN-RECONCILE (18 objects)

Cross-referenced 15 fs_dot_bin script names + 3 host_crontab commands against dot_tools (by script_path / file_path / code / name):

• 9 ALREADY_DOT_MANAGED — 7 bins map to a registered dot_tool (dot-doc-generate, dot-doc-partition, dot-doc-render, dot-dot-coverage, dot-dot-health, dot-dot-register, dot-script-lint) + 2 cron entries invoke registered DOTs (dot-script-lint, dot-doc-partition). These were scanner false-positives (adapter didn't link bin→dot_tools). → scanner-link engineering backlog, NOT owner-gated.
• 1 NOT_PROCESS — TEMPLATE-DOT-SCRIPT is a scaffolding template.
• 8 OWNER_RECONCILE — genuinely unregistered: apply_composition_fixes.sh, dot-context-pack-retention-cleanup (+its cron), dot-cron-matrix-setup, dot-dieu43-fs-init.sh, dot-dieu43-fs-verify.sh, dot-pivot-update, dot-search-canary → need RECONCILE_TO_DOT (register-or-quarantine), which requires_owner=true.

WPC-DB-SCHED-JOB (4 objects)

Decoded the 4 host_crontab commands: all are guarded staggered pollers H=$(date +%H); [...02/20 skip...] || docker exec postgres psql ... -c "SELECT..." on *-59/10 schedules → COMPONENT_DB_POLLER (event/queue pollers, components of an existing process). Evidence resolved.

WPC-INFRA-CONFIG (1 object)

apply-docker-log-config.sh = run-once docker log configuration → NOT_PROCESS (infra config, accept).

After (live from v_workflow_residual_evidence_hardening_v3)

residual_state_v3	n
RESOLVED_ALREADY_MANAGED	9
RESOLVED_COMPONENT	4
RESOLVED_NOT_PROCESS	2
AWAITING_OWNER_RECONCILE	8
total	23

Net residual movement

• Evidence-gated: 23 → 0.
• Resolved by evidence: 15 (9 already-managed + 4 components + 2 not-process).
• Reclassified evidence→owner: 8 (dot/bin register-or-quarantine).
• Owner-gated total: 11 (docker-runtime) + 8 (reconcile) = 19.
• Residual actionable: 34 → 19, and the remaining 19 are all owner decisions, zero needing more evidence.

Note (no silent cap)

The 9 ALREADY_DOT_MANAGED objects still warrant a scanner-adapter fix so the universal scanner links bin→dot_tools automatically on the next run; that is logged as engineering backlog (WORKFLOW_ORPHAN_REMEDIATION_V2_AND_SOURCE_HARDENING), not a canon blocker.
