Link-only diffs to the blog posts were refused round after round for 400px overflow caused by long identifiers already in the post text, and each round ended in another waive [refusal:1864]
A gate that judges the whole page rather than the change keeps refusing a diff that cannot fix the fault
The design check now refuses only overflow the diff introduces [landed:1370]
Three authority refusals in a row came from rulings telling the builder to delete or regenerate a results file that was already on main [refusal:1783]
A ruling that has the builder touch a file it may not write causes the refusal it was meant to clear
The ruling was to leave the file untouched, and the code landed [landed:1210]
Three jobs were refused with the same pytest fingerprint because their tests clone public repos and run forge or slither-mutate [refusal:1890]
A test that needs the network and outside tools is not a check the rail can run
The fuzz-bench profile runs pytest with -m 'not live' [landed:1402]
The drift pass flagged python review as stale because the tick checkout held an older registry entry that still matched on seat [landed:1289]
A check is only as current as the checkout it reads
The tick now evaluates the registry entries main holds
Shell refusals kept showing up in the fizz generate run after two seat-tool fixes landed, but the score step was really stopping on a missing bench/null_check.py in fuzz-bench [refusal:1917]
The loudest refusal in a transcript is not always the one that stopped the job
None yet: the score step waits for null_check.py to land in fuzz-bench
