+// THE FIFTH SILENCE, and the only one that is not about prose: a flag the

+//
+// The BEHAVIOUR is right and stays: a branch carrying real commits must be
+// merged, not waved through as an empty ship. What was missing is the sentence
+// saying so, and its absence is expensive out of proportion to its size — task
+// 1003229 was filed against --db-only and survived for days on the strength of
+// it. The reporter's flag was dropped here, their PR then failed to land for an
+// unrelated reason (the reconciler, task 1002723), and with nothing in the
+// output distinguishing an honoured flag from an ignored one, every visible sign
+// pointed at --db-only.
+//
+// So: a notice, not a refusal and not a behaviour change — the same posture as

+// tests/regrade_actual_minutes.mjs — a re-grade does not re-measure, and the
+// panel is not fed the figure it would misread (task 1003964, goal 1000118).
+//
+// THE MECHANISM. actual_minutes is recomputed in exactly one place — resolveClaim
+// (modules/lifecycle/db-ship.js) — as the SUM of every session_logs row for the
+// task, and session_logs rows are sealed per CLAIM. A --regrade has no claim,
+// which is the defining property of that path (#678): it never reaches
+// resolveClaim, seals no row, and does not recompute. A re-graded task therefore
+// keeps the figure its FIRST, grade-failed attempt measured (observed on task
+// 1002343: actual_minutes=19 from 2026-09-04, shipped on the 2026-09-07 redo).
+//
+// THE POSTURE, and why it is a decision rather than a patch. A claimless window
+// has no defensible start time. The prior grade's timestamp puts the entire gap
+// between attempts into the sum — for task 1002343 that is ~3 days, roughly
+// 4300 minutes in place of 19, which is worse than stale and poisons the same
+// calibration the fix was meant to protect. The ship's own session digest
+// (scripts/gds/session-digest-build.js) measures a Claude Code SESSION, which
+// routinely spans several tasks and is absent outside an interactive one. An
+// opt-in --minutes flag would be omitted by default, which is the present
+// silence with a flag beside it. So: actual_minutes means CLAIMED-session time,
+// stated at the recompute, in the schema map, in the calibration reader, and on
+// the hall figure — the four places someone meets the number.
+// The hall half is pinned in tests/hall_record_world.mjs, which owns the render
+// harness that proves the title survives figureBand rather than merely existing.
+//
+// WHAT THIS FILE PINS is the half that can silently become untrue. The bug row
+// was filed believing the grader scores an est/actual ratio against the stale
+// figure; on current main it cannot, because the live panel never receives
+// actual_minutes at all. That is the whole reason the posture is safe, so it is
+// the thing that needs a tripwire: wire actual_minutes into the panel prompt and
+// this file reds, and the decision has to be made again with the risk real.
