91
+ ### Relay routing registry
92
+
93
+ The gateway host manages `~/.config/axstack/machines.json`, keyed by the exact
94
+ T3 environment label. This is the agreed Stage 1 registry shape:
95
+
96
+ ```json
97
+ {
98
+ "<environment label>": {
99
+ "hermes_mcp_server": "<server name>",
100
+ "decisions_topic": "telegram:<chat_id>:<thread_id>",
101
+ "machine_aliases": { "<supplied hostname>": "<display alias>" }
102
+ }
103
+ }
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ `hermes_mcp_server` names the Hermes MCP connection, `decisions_topic` targets
107
+ the Decisions topic in the verified private home DM, and `machine_aliases` is
108
+ optional. An absent or ambiguous environment entry fails reply readiness.
109
+ Aliases apply only to a hostname explicitly supplied by the approved scope;
110
+ never infer a hostname or translate one to an alias by inference. Systems such
111
+ as GitHub and `npm` need no entry. The registry must provide routing only and
112
+ grants no authority. Keep concrete destination values and aliases host-managed,
113
+ outside public artifacts. The topic target selects routing, not action authority.
114
+
115
+ Before swipe-reply cards, verify Hermes >=0.21, this registry entry, the topic
116
+ listing's home DM binding, effective `busy_input_mode: queue`, and passing
117
+ `hermes mcp test <server>`. Also verify the relay-only topic's auto-loaded skill
118
+ and forward-only `channel_prompts`, keyed by topic thread ID rather than chat ID.
119
+ Missing readiness uses the T3 action route with the same options and tag.
120
+
121
+ Host setup belongs to the driver-owned post-release install, never development:
122
+ the user enables Topics and posts once, then install the reply skill in place,
123
+ bind the topic and its prompt, set queue mode, restart the gateway and verify
124
+ `/busy` reports `queue`, and have the user `/reset` the topic. Settle or supersede
125
+ and reissue legacy open cards and reconcile remaining legacy replies before
126
+ writing the registry entry last as the switch. Run the approved live canary;
127
+ a failure removes that entry so cards fall back to T3. Retire the old gateway
128
+ script only after canary success. Never install both reply skills together.
129
+
130
+ Open item: whether T3 records the sending MCP client on `t3_thread_send` is
131
+ unverified and deferred; Stage 1 uses the fixed first line and card receipt
132
+ checks without asserting client provenance. Full-access agents could forge
133
+ messages under the accepted fleet risk.

397
+ ### Proven verification
398
+
399
+ Proven verification is required for every own PR. Use the authored receipt:
400
+
401
+ - Verification requires `Verdict: APPROVE`, `Coverage: COMPLETE`, and
402
+ `Escalate to user: no`.
403
+ - Verification requires a `Safety fact` about the change that is not `unproven`.
404
+ - Verification requires diligence `PASS` at the exact head and base.
405
+ - Verification requires `Final-head check: <command> -> <log path>` for a check
406
+ the reviewer ran at the final head, with its log kept in the run's evidence folder.
407
+ - Each acceptance check requires passing evidence from the ticket or spec
408
+ criteria, or the PR body for adopted and ticketless PRs.
409
+ Earlier-head red-to-green evidence in the PR's patch lineage counts only when
410
+ the reviewer records that it still applies to the final change.
411
+ An applicable `verify-<app>` passing result is required for the changed behavior.
412
+ - Verification requires no limitation tagged `changed-behavior: unproven`.
413
+ The reviewer tags every limitation leaving changed behavior unexercised or
414
+ unverified, in whatever words, `changed-behavior: unproven`.
415
+ Other limitations do not hold.
416
+ - When the PR removes or weakens a check, test-runner setting or ruleset that
417
+ gates its own merge, verification requires the reviewer ran the base's checks
418
+ against the head.
419
+
420
+ The driver first closes a verification gap itself: run the check, re-dispatch
421
+ review, or return the work to the author. Only a gap the driver cannot close
422
+ becomes a `verification not proven` card bound to head and base.
423
+ The card names what is unproven, why, and the action that would settle it.
424
+
425
+ For `verification not proven`, the driver must follow [Relay](../skills/axstack-relay/SKILL.md)'s decision-card procedure,
426
+ binding the sent run receipt and each option's scope to the exact PR head and base.
427
+ For a verification decision, a forwarded choice must pass [Relay](../skills/axstack-relay/SKILL.md)'s four reply checks
428
+ and acknowledgement-before-action rule before settling only its bound cause.
429
+ A changed PR head or base must supersede its open verification decision card,
430
+ reissuing only if a decision is still needed.
431
+
432
+ The user's reply in the driver thread or on the forge clears only that
433
+ verification cause. Record `user-accepted unproven: <item>`, never as a pass.
434
+ Treat the accepted item as settled for this head and base and merge when every
435
+ other gate and hold permits it. A reply never waives `APPROVE`, diligence `PASS`
436
+ or green CI. A new head or base voids the acceptance.
437
+ Settle an `Escalate to user` for the user-accepted verification cause at its
438
+ accepted head and base while other escalation holds still apply.
439
+ In a work repository a reply never replaces counted collaborator approval.
440
+
441
+ Only comments and threads whose IDs are recorded in an agent receipt count as agent-authored.
442
+ The authored reviewer rates each non-agent review thread, review body, or
443
+ top-level comment from a human or a bot at the current head as `above low`,
444
+ `low`, `addressed` or `uncertain`. Re-rate every non-agent item at each new head.
445
+ Reviewer-rated `low` or `addressed` items do not hold automatic merge.
446
+ An `above low`, unrated or `uncertain` item holds automatic merge.
447
+ Human `CHANGES_REQUESTED` holds automatic merge until resolved.
448
+ A comment arriving after the receipt triggers a fresh review dispatch for rating
449
+ as gap closing.
450
+ An item still unrated or uncertain after one fresh rating dispatch keeps holding
451
+ the merge and posts a report-only decision-style card bound to head and base.
452
+ The rating card names the comment, why it remains unrated or uncertain, and the
453
+ action that settles it: re-rating by the reviewer, the commenter resolving or
454
+ replying, or the author addressing it.
455
+ The report-only rating card is a notification of an unsettled rating,
456
+ deduplicated per comment and head.
457
+ A report-only rating card never offers a user-acceptance path.
458
+ A user reply never clears a comment rating hold.
459
+ Agents never resolve or dismiss non-agent items.
460
+ Agent-authored threads with only `low` findings can stay open.
461
+ Apply any repository rule that requires conversation resolution.
462
+
463
+ ### Escalation
464
+
465
+ Personal PRs merge when the gates pass and verification is proven or
466
+ user-accepted at this head and base. Personal PRs on any base, including
467
+ promotion, `deploying` and unknown bases, are eligible under the watch predicate.
468
+ Work PRs merge when the gates pass, verification is proven or user-accepted,
469
+ and a counted collaborator approval exists, on an `integration` base.
470
+ Work promotion PRs and `deploying` or unknown bases are merged by the user on
471
+ the forge. The existing serious-risk hold applies at once to both personal and
472
+ work PRs.
473
+ Personal and work PRs remain eligible whatever files they change, including
474
+ `.github/`, workflow-invoked files, package.json, lockfiles, test-runner config,
475
+ branch-protection or ruleset config, `CODEOWNERS`, `AGENTS.md`, and non-clean
476
+ revert lines such as `Revert: steps`.
477
+
478
+ For a `gh stack`, only the bottom member's base must be eligible.
479
+ Each other member's base must be the next-lower member's branch at its reviewed head.
480
+ Every member must meet every other term.
481
+ A stack holds until every member of its approved plan (the ticket map or the
482
+ adopted stack's recorded members) is published.
483
+ Reviewed members are never retargeted to become eligible.
484
+
485
+ Never auto-merge PRs authored by anyone other than the user or the user's agents.
486
+ Test sources stay eligible.
487
+ Axstack skill and merge-rule text are eligible under the watch predicate.
488
+ Changes to package.json are eligible under the watch predicate.
489
+ Release PRs are eligible under the watch predicate.
490
+ Read the rollback declaration whose line starts with `Revert:`
491
+ at line start in the PR description.
492
+ A quoted format inside a bullet never counts as the declaration.
493
+ `--admin` and rule bypass are never used.
494
+ `Auto-merge: off` for a run or PR makes the merge card wait, and it waits for the user.
495
+
496
+ Post a merge card for every nonqualifying approval, base, verification, or off case.
497
+ Bind it to the PR head and base SHA; list CI, authored review and diligence at
498
+ those SHAs, counted collaborator approvals and bot votes with each vote's SHA
499
+ and stale flag, and the causes holding this merge.
500
+ A card that needs the user's decision (work promotion or work deploying/unknown base,
501
+ `Auto-merge: off`, provenance, or an unclosable verification gap) is a decision
502
+ hold under the recorded Notification policy with one deduplicated relay;
503
+ relay text never supplies approval. Person-wait cards follow the clock below.
504
+ A changed head or base requires a refreshed card.
505
+ For an own PR on an `integration` base, the user's reply to the card authorizes
506
+ the merge actor to merge under the guarded path, subject to the exceptions below.

519
+
520
+ A PR is ready-except-human when every term other than collaborator approval,
521
+ human `CHANGES_REQUESTED` and open findings from a person holds.
522
+ Each blocker has a key: `approval:<PR>`, `changes:<review id>` or
523
+ `comment:<comment id>`. A missing approval's clock starts at the first observed
524
+ ready-except-human time, including no review requested.
525
+ Other clocks start at the later of that ready-except-human time and the item's
526
+ forge time. A `comment:` clock starts only once the reviewer rates the item
527
+ `above low`. An unrated or uncertain item waits on the reviewer and does not
528
+ count as ready-except-human.
529
+ A clock resets when the PR stops being ready-except-human or its patch-id
530
