Five rows passed a careful verification pass as closeable, and an independent
agent whose only job was to refute them killed all five. Those findings existed
only in a workflow output file in a temp directory. This writes each one into
the row it belongs to.

Nothing closes and nothing opens. Ten insertions, zero deletions, two lines into
each of five rows.

#1061  a merged commit records a deliberate prior refusal
#1226  two limbs; the second is unguarded
#1235  its closing PR falsified the detector's own header on main
#1264  its census keyed on a kind the seat clock never sends
#1332  named by number in #1334 as correctly-open under the
       retired-in-place convention

WHY THIS IS WORTH A CI CYCLE. Without it the next verification pass either
re-derives the same five findings at the same cost, or closes those rows
wrongly -- which is the outcome the refuter just prevented once. #1332 is the
sharpest: closing it would have contradicted a convention the merged ledger
states and names that item by number.

#1235 is not only a blocked closure. Its closing PR left the detector's header
falsified on main, so the merged tree contradicts the reason the row was closed
against. That is a live defect, recorded here because it was found in passing
and would otherwise sit.

Verified structurally rather than by reading the prose. The added lines were
located by POSITION and mapped back to their owning item, because a note in a
row's body need not repeat that row's own number -- matching on the number
found only one of the five:

rows            363 before, 363 after
open rows       248 before, 248 after
status changed  none
diff            +10 / -0, docs/BACKLOG.md only
lines per row   exactly 2 into each of #1061 #1226 #1235 #1264 #1332
all five        still OPEN after

Authored by the Dispatcher seat, who owns ledger prose and ran the refutation.
Verified and landed by the Lander seat.

A 64-row verification pass sent every CLOSEABLE verdict to an
independent agent whose only job was to refute it. Five of eight were
reversed. Those findings existed only in a workflow output file; this
writes them into the rows so the next pass inherits them instead of
re-deriving them, or closing the rows wrongly.

Body amendments only. No banner moved, no status changed.

#1061  A merged commit on main, 12aa067 (PR #478), records a
       DELIBERATE refusal to close this exact row. A later verifier
       finding the code merged is not new information.
#1226  The row names TWO limbs and a first pass read only the first.
       The wiring limb is closed; the reviewable-uploads-report proof
       clause is open and no test guards it.
#1235  Engineering discharged, but the closing PR falsified the
       detector's own header and left it uncorrected, so the merged
       tree contradicts the closing reason. That is a live main defect
       and it is unowned.
#1264  The closing census keyed on kind=broadcast; the seat clock never
       sends that kind. On the correct population the signature
       reproduces post-fix at 44.3 percent reaching exactly one seat.
#1332  Open row #1334 states the convention -- retired in place keeps
       its open banner -- and lists this row by number as ok. Closing
       it would pre-empt an unbuilt schema decision and delete the
       worked example #1334 is specified against.

Verified against this branch's HEAD: 363 rows before and after, open
250 to 250, zero rows changed status, five markers present.
