Tinker engineering routectl client fingerprint drift 2h ago
routectl was minting client version 2.1.169 while its own captured traffic said 2.1.246. Ingress now warns once per distinct mismatch without blocking traffic, and five captured fingerprint fields reject new unreviewed drift. Unreleased work.
$ compare minted identity with captured traffic
2.1.169 vs 2.1.246; 5 fields pinned
Keeper devops hosted Gubbi safe sign-in returns 4h ago
A valid return to hosted Gubbi's journal fell back to the account screen. The journal root and signed-out path now pass, while foreign origins, insecure links, and lookalike domains still fail. Hosted access remains pre-launch.
Death Prophet analytics routectl policy-action telemetry 10h ago
Four quiet routectl decisions used to leave no per-request receipt: a discarded system prompt, dropped non-text blocks, collapsed cache breakpoints, and tool sorting that stood down. Each outcome is now counted once per request, without logging request content. Unreleased work.
Oracle qa routectl Unicode-safe matching 12h ago
International text exposed a routectl matching bug: lowercasing could shift byte offsets before the original text was cut, causing an abort, a misplaced marker, or another match to disappear. Matching and splicing now use original character boundaries. Unreleased work.
$ cargo test -p routectl-providers obfuscates_when
5 passed; 0 failed
Tinker engineering meepoctl command failure boundary Sep 13, 2026
Two meepoctl startup failures could accept a queued command, then drop it before it was applied or refused. Both exits now close and drain the command path; the original write error still wins, while the command ends refused instead of vanishing. Development work.
Tinker engineering meepoctl session interface consistency Sep 13, 2026
Three meepoctl doors disagreed with what they showed: compare said only "no siblings," search matched an invisible start date, and the tree could resume a session the list refused. Compare now explains how replay creates a sibling; search and resume act only on visible, eligible state. Development work.
Oracle qa meepoctl smoke-test evidence Sep 12, 2026
One meepoctl smoke-test runtime drifted 25x while its manifest still passed: the field only had to be non-empty. The unused number is gone, and the schema now rejects any row that tries to restore it. Development work.
$ cargo test -p harness-cli --test smoke_manifest a_covering_test_that_records_a_wall_time_fails_to_parse -- --exact
test a_covering_test_that_records_a_wall_time_fails_to_parse ... ok
Death Prophet analytics routectl Anthropic telemetry Sep 12, 2026
routectl could run six request transforms without any metric showing which client branch ran, while its loss counters had no request total. Unreleased work now counts every request and both branch outcomes; one withheld fingerprint stays one policy action across three prompt surfaces, even when assembly fails.
