Phase4 Gate5 REQUIRED scientific population audit: source→operating denominator→PRE→webhook in/out→POST

OWNER DIRECTIVE / PRACTICAL G5A FAST PATH — 2026-11-03

Read before proposing more Gate5 work or continuing in a new chat. Owner orders no more repeated AeroDataBox runway/actual-vs-estimated discussions, email polling, or endless research. This is a one-month lower-bias ML data collection project; four months already spent on infrastructure. Prioritize completing genuine remaining Gate5 science by Wednesday Nov 4 evening PT, before Thursday Nov 5, accepting measured source limitations and making a versioned prospective protocol amendment rather than treating unavailable vendor fields as a permanent veto. Track A provider-observable is default, Track B free independent sources optional support, not critical path. This does not authorize fake real-data results, retroactive PRE, ignoring legal rights, or unknown labels as zero.

Permanently saved/merged PR #368, main commit 113161cbe32154b254d1618f69bdb468cfe0c7df:

PR #367 merged main commit 3e2f08b6b2f950b994ae95b1fb7c500ab5ec869e, five green checks: GitHub-only read-only credential/role readiness workflow. Its main push environment-run result is not yet independently retrieved here; do not invent the presence of P4_G5_SOURCE_OWNER_DATABASE_URL. Future reviewed owner workflow/grid are not yet created. First task: get actual GitHub readiness result and connect the real paid V0076/V0077 owner→FIDS→on-time PRE, not another schema/preflight PR.

Already installed production: V0076, private V0077, V0078 one time; #362 closed as resolved schema defect. Do not rerun migrations or Nov2 source-only paid pilot. Original unamended runway-defined MAE is distinct from G5A and cannot be called passed. Retention allowed use and actual POST under amended target must be measured, never guessed.

Blocking engineering dependency (not a paid-run request)

The October 31 WSSS after-service success used a source-inventory workflow with a hardcoded WSSS 2026-10-31 17:00–18:00Z cohort. In particular scripts/v39_gate5_source_inventory_readonly_actions.ts passes that exact interval into phase4Gate5LiveFunnel_v39.ts, phase4Gate5LiveCaptureOutcome_v39.ts, phase4Gate5LivePreBuilderCandidates_v39.ts and retained-drift audits, several of which reject any other window. Leaving these unchanged during a new Gate5 redo would incorrectly inspect old service data even if the future paid GET succeeds. Historical Oct31 source results, job logs and existing old audit must remain frozen.

Required fresh-cohort read-only path

New explicitly frozen, hash-pinned airport ICAO + service interval + UTC/IANA mapping + first native T evidence + allowed pre/post audit watermarks; no free-form dynamic user dispatch from Actions. Reject unknown epoch, invalid interval or first attempt, or a new cohort with insufficient early lead. Keep Oct31 workflow unmodified as historical evidence.
Parameterize new read-only audit services for any reviewed cohort in the study. One PostgreSQL REPEATABLE READ READ ONLY transaction with complete immutable original FIDS receipts, availability/cutoff, append-only membership, source hash/readback, operating/marketing/Unknown, scope, original source time/provenance, truly persisted PRE, inside/outside/unresolved callbacks, and target status observed/pending/censored/missing/not-applicable. Never use a marketing codeshare/last-known schedule/retrospective receipt to backfill earlier cutoffs.
Read-only source facts must be retained and in the permitted legal time window. Missing/expired originals and unknown identity/target ≠ a measured 0; emit explicit NULL and reason. Return anonymous counts only, not flight IDs/schedules/raw bytes, never silently certify actual wheels-off from quality=Live or runwayTime alone.
Producer (prospective FIDS) and the independent audit must bind the same frozen manifest/source cohort identity (e.g., validated digest), log physical actual observed dispatch/receipt and audit UTC separately, and refuse mismatched queries. Job must provide zero provider API credentials, no provider HTTP, no DB writes, no Cloudflare/Replit timed action. A GitHub green workflow ≠ Gate5 scientific PASS.
Regression tests: wrong cohort fail, split-edge/DST freeze, read-before-cutoff, late/expired and missing receipt, same identity across revisions/marketing contexts, outcome unknown not zero, no provider calls or writes, no Phase5/Phase6 authorization. Review four required repository CI checks; merge separately before arming any new paid cohort.

November 3 continuation — merged #360 and #363, V0078 staged

PR #360 merged 2a975ca9c9c40ac27e4ed795fc3115ea78611c8e with five green workflows. Existing source writer now supports atomic original + normalized members + V0077 owner binding in one DB transaction. All late/invalid owner writes roll back; no live collector activated.
PR #363 merged 9b699832d190457b30ed7dd6da8f057ae6de65f5 with five green workflows, including real PG16 three distinct synthetic originals → three committed on-time single-horizon PRE → independent after-cutoff read-only audit. Its apparent early audit failure was correctly diagnosed as notYetDue=3; the final rehearsal uses actual wall-clock cutoff and never fake read time.
Overlapping observations of the same physical flight were still rejected by baseline global flight_population_key even across distinct query IDs. Issue #362 documents exact B0062 constraints and scientific impact. PR #364 now tests a stage-only V0078 narrowly replacing global legacy uniqueness with a partial non-FIDS index while retaining strict FIDS original-query uniqueness and a three-originals→one-physical-PRE independent PG16 audit. V0078 has NOT run in production.
Original f.8 and hash-locked implementation log are unchanged. Provider rights, native selected T, actuality, a new real prospective 3-horizon owner, actual POST and capture denominator are still not certified. No further paid source-only repeats, no historical PRE backfill, no Phase5 freeze or Phase6 authority. No Replit shell action required for these offline PRs.

Official provider terms check — November 3, 2026 (public only)

AeroDataBox September 7 announcement, updated September 8 says its revised terms generally apply to existing subscribers November 7, 2026, with exceptions and some immediate endpoint changes. It describes a default 7-day original Content caching restriction; longer periods are plan-dependent, and separate derived-work exceptions may apply under Terms §5.6. RapidAPI marketplace pricing currently labels Ultra Standard (7 days) and Mega extended caching. A 24-hour technical source TTL is deliberately stricter than the published standard 7-day limit, but this public information is not a certificate of this account's grandfathered rights, scientific derivative/model training rights, retention of independently derived content, or provider-native actual runway event semantics. Do not claim extended rights or wait indefinitely for email; keep uncertainty recorded and treat independently established source-use rights as the live release gate.

The already reported owner-attested grandfathered subscription/quotas in Plan f.8 and earlier checkpoints remain historical account evidence, not proof of current balance or revised November 7 rights. No future paid cohort has been activated by this research. Phase5 freeze and Phase6 NO-GO remain.

V0078 read-only production catalog guard merged — November 3

PR #365 merged 63977703cf0e565fef9c37268b88e334c8b0c37e after all five GitHub checks passed. A new two-role REPEATABLE READ READ ONLY catalog probe checks real database/owner-role separation, exact B0062 legacy unique key, V0077 runtime privacy, FIDS original-source unique index, dependent FKs, and an aggregate count of missing source identities. It has its own disposable PG16 regression showing a candidate-only preinstall result before V0078 and an already-installed HOLD after simulated V0078. Neither probe nor PR performed production writes or paid provider calls. The actual production outcome is not yet measured; one separately authorized pinned read-only operator run is the next dependency. V0078 remains staged and NOT installed in production. Scientific Gate5 HOLD, Phase5/6 NO-GO.

V0078 live production catalog report — owner supplied November 3 (read only)

Owner ran the exact script from merged #365 pinned to 63977703cf0e565fef9c37268b88e334c8b0c37e, reviewed blob 8451f0c20325996c3fe8056c0fb4423850db2c04. Exact JSON status: V0078_PREINSTALL_CATALOG_CANDIDATE_ONLY_NEEDS_OWNER_REVIEW. All actual returned flags true for same DB/different roles, PG16+, both read-only, clean visible, privileged owner, restricted runtime inability to own/create, source & FIDS population present, installed and private V0077, exact legacy constraint and valid FIDS query-observation unique index, V0078 absent, zero dependent FKs, zero active incomplete FIDS identities. No original Contents or DB writes/provider calls.

PR #366 implements one-time SHA-pinned guarded V0078 production DDL with two-role pre/postchecks, lock contention rollback, strict no-reinstallation, no privileges/Content changes, and actual disposable PG16 installer regression. The owner has not yet executed DDL. Subsequent real native selected T, source rights, on-time three-horizon PRE and actual-only POST remain scientific Gate5 HOLD. Do not misinterpret migration as science PASS.

V0078 one-time production installer merged `3b7168e` — awaiting ONE actual owner execution

PR #366 merged 3b7168e3c353d6664a28badf86eb00c3f365a60e after five exact-head green checks, including the existing V0078 real disposable PostgreSQL16 workflow enhanced to execute the actual production installer, verify advisory-lock refusal/unchanged schema, one COMMIT, read-only two-role installed-state verification, second attempt refusal, and no runtime V0077 ACL leaks. Current staged V0078 SQL blob 24d305fc4be6f426e762f5665c5ce37b55b666b7; installer blob 8a744b3df05ab68d2840fccc53f87b680ec2a713. Binding Plan and Implementation Log unchanged.

Production migration has NOT been executed by the assistant or GitHub Actions. Exact detached-worktree one-time operator shell command is the next user action; abort if an unexpected schema status or lock issue. After installation, independent read-only verification must show V0078_ALREADY_PRESENT_DO_NOT_REINSTALL_HOLD. V0078 is a necessary source append-only uniqueness prerequisite, NOT an authorized paid source owner or scientific Gate5 PASS. No repeated Nov2 diagnostic.

November 3 — V0078 installed in production; source release still HOLD

Owner executed reviewed PR #366 exact Git commit 3b7168e3c353d6664a28badf86eb00c3f365a60e and installed V0078 successfully. Actual receipt: V0078_PRODUCTION_LEGACY_KEY_REPLACEMENT_INSTALLED_ONCE, reviewed SQL blob 24d305fc4be6f426e762f5665c5ce37b55b666b7. Confirmed unchanged private V0077, preserved legacy non-FIDS uniqueness and new repeatable FIDS original-query uniqueness, no newly granted runtime rights, no source-content mutation, 0 paid requests. The installer itself required two-role pre-read-only catalog, an exclusive DDL lock, one transaction and independent postcommit installed-state verification; there was no operator retry. DO NOT reinstall either migration.

Remaining hard critical path (no requirement waived): (A) provider-native selected first T and genuine per-record actual-only terminal outcome semantics; the public RapidAPI OpenAPI v1.15.4.0 describes departure.scheduledTime as generic scheduled departure and departure.runwayTime as actual / estimated, with quality Basic/Live/Approximate rather than actual-only. (B) account-specific permitted original FIDS/normalized Content caching and derived work under terms, Nov 7 effective changes; historical Team Ultra quota does not prove rights. (C) prospective, GitHub-only, prearmed three-horizon manifest/owner, properly scoped DB producer roles, real on-time V0076/V0077 originals and PRE, and (D–F) actual webhook in/out/unresolved, outcome classes, AIRBORNE, billing, missingness, independent scientific verdict. SOURCE/TARGET/RIGHTS are still HOLD—not a PASS, not a reason to replay Nov2 9/9. Priority: resolve evidence in parallel and connect genuine future workflow, with unknown/unsupported conditions recorded rather than fictional PASS. Phase5/Phase6 NO-GO.

LIVE_G5A_WRITER_CREDENTIAL_ROOT_CAUSE_20261103 — immediate setup priority

Actual GitHub Actions job #41640499632 published redacted issue comment: status HOLD_GITHUB_DEDICATED_SOURCE_OWNER_SECRET_ABSENT. The ADB API key is present, separate independent audit DB reader is present and already has necessary source/PRE read visibility, but phase2g-paid/P4_G5_SOURCE_OWNER_DATABASE_URL is missing. Zero provider calls / DB writes. This is a concrete role/secret problem, not any need to repeat semantic research.

PR #371 adds one reviewed operator-only Replit entrypoint to create a new, expiring, no-admin/no-DELETE source writer role and transfer its restricted URI to the already protected GitHub environment via authenticated gh stdin (no password in logs, CLI argv, commits or chat), then dispatch the existing no-provider readiness workflow. Its actual disposable PostgreSQL16/bootstrap/mock-GitHub/replay-denial workflow passed. Never use the existing privileged DATABASE_URL or restricted callback V39_DATABASE_RUNTIME_URL directly as a GH secret. If Replit gh auth status fails, bootstrap halts before DB changes, requiring an authorized GitHub CLI session; do not invent credentials.

PR #370 MERGED main 67fc079318eee2c5987c9cdba7500563aa459562 after 8/8 green including real PG16 source→PRE: fixes three-receipt future-wait defect (authentic 1/3,2/3 source prefix may yield on-time PRE, with missing slots measured) and stabilizes native provider operating ID across schedule retime in explicit G5A mode. Contains future candidate 9-query WSSS service window Nov 5 UTC 02:00–03:00, worst case 18 units within project 24-unit cap, earliest T−24h GitHub prearm deadline Nov 4 00:30Z = Nov 3 4:30 PM PST. This is not an active workflow yet. Actual G5A automated GitHub owner source→V0076→V0077→PRE and W postoutcome still require review/activation before prearm; do not count a candidate as paid or scientific success.

Binding owner's anti-perfection directive: engineering priority finish by Nov4 evening PT, not reopen vendor-runway/email debates, record measured source limits, preserve genuine as-of no-leak/rights/budget/denominator evidence. Do not rerun V0077/V0078 or Nov2 source-only pilot.

G5A_GITHUB_WRITER_ROLE_PRODUCTION_SUCCESS_AND_REAL_SOURCE_PRE_MAIN_20261103

Actual operator-provided successful production receipt, Nov 3 PT: the exact reviewed, one-time Replit shell bootstrap from merged #371 returned G5A_DEDICATED_SOURCE_WRITER_ROLE_AND_GITHUB_SECRET_PUBLISHED_ONCE; githubReadinessDispatchQueued=true, separate non-admin writer role, GitHub environment secret phase2g-paid/P4_G5_SOURCE_OWNER_DATABASE_URL installed, no admin/delete grants, providerCalls=0, flightContentWrites=0. Do not run bootstrap again. The older issue comment reporting missing secret reflects the earlier main readiness check before installation; do not mistake it for the current credential state. Later recheck status must still be independently observed if an exact report is desired.

#372 merged on main, squash a881114aaaa9b4df52e388239a5d4ee0baec44fb: real GitHub-only prospective WSSS T−24h, T−6h, T−90m Actions owner, V0076 reservation-before-GET, atomically bound original/V0077, on-time PRE with authenticated source prefix, exact 9 source slots and 18 REST-unit cap inside project 24-unit ceiling. First GitHub schedule Nov 3 22:40Z = Nov 3 2:40pm PST, actual first Tier2 FIDS dispatch Nov 4 01:30Z = Nov 3 5:30pm PST; scheduled is not confirmed actually started. Fixed owner reservation SQL argument order and DB clock before main merge. No provider call made during CI. No Phase5/6 GO or scientific PASS claimed.

#373 merged on main, squash e2aee97b8efae2bb6b617d74e52f98c06b8c2743: correction of API OpenAPI source provenance to Plan f.8 actual verified document bytes SHA, not G5A amendment Markdown SHA, with all five checks green.

Remaining critical work: #374 G5A prospective POST 3×2-unit bounded native FIDS reobservation with independent T+2h schedule-revision observed/unknown label counts, existing baseline immutable ledger, and one exact no-provider table privilege grant to existing writer. PG16 test errors from disposable synthetic fixture (duplicate cohort IDs, missing schema USAGE) were corrected; dedicated real PG16 ledger/cap and POST unit tests now green. Whole-repo V3.9 suite is still running on the latest exact head when written. Do not execute the table grant until its PR is merged and hash-pinned. After actual source/POST, independent original→PRE→POST/webhook/missingness audit remains needed; schedule presence ≠ scientific Gate5 PASS. Do not re-investigate provider runway/email unknowns; see binding owner directive linked at the top of this issue.

G5A_THREE_PROSPECTIVE_GITHUB_OPERATORS_MERGED_AND_AUDIT_20261103

Engineering delivery confirmed on main Nov 3, 2026 PT (not an actual source-data PASS):

#372 merged a881114aaaa9b4df52e388239a5d4ee0baec44fb: GitHub-only WSSS three-horizon scheduled prospectively reserved V0076→original/V0077→DB-clock-safe PRE. Fixed SQL parameter ordering. Owner role & protected GitHub secret were then installed by operator (actual G5A_DEDICATED_SOURCE_WRITER_ROLE_AND_GITHUB_SECRET_PUBLISHED_ONCE receipt).
#373 merged e2aee97b8efae2bb6b617d74e52f98c06b8c2743: real documented OpenAPI SHA, no fake protocol-doc provenance.
#374 merged 6479288daa099d67b2bae6369954e49a4e896370 7/7 green, incl real disposable PG16 ledgers: fixed three POST original GETs at Nov5 03:40/04:10/04:40 UTC, hard 3×2=6 additional REST units inside 24-unit cohort budget, different 4h source window for retimes, qualified POST A<=T_native+2h outcomes and unknowns. Its exact one-time SELECT,INSERT grant to existing source writer is NOT YET REPORTED EXECUTED; owner was provided pinned shell command (script blob d284c2cb7f2b4003f15114cc1fa32116073f8880). No other secret or schema migration is required. Do not assume this grant is installed without operator's success receipt.
#375 merged bb061ef993d38e2b85210e00399d168b7af65aa7 5/5 green: independent GitHub-only READ ONLY source/physical reservations/original V0077/real PRE cutoff/POST schedule-revision/missingness audit scheduled Nov5 05:12 UTC = Nov4 9:12pm PST, separate audit credential, no provider request/writes. On execution, publishes sanitized aggregate actual counts and Action run URL to THIS ISSUE for every later chat.

IMPORTANT old red Actions: historical failed PR/test runs remain red after corrective PR merges and shouldn't be confused with current main live scientific status. #374 failed initially due to disposable PG16 test-fixture duplicate cohort ID and missing clean-schema USAGE, both corrected; then 7/7 checks green on exact merged head. #375 5/5 green exact head. Green CI does not prove GH scheduled run happened.

Actual time-critical GH schedule: first source PRE ARM Nov3 22:40Z = 2:40pm PST, first physical source Nov4 01:30Z = Nov3 5:30pm PST, later source Nov4 16:40Z/21:10Z prearms. Three actual post GETs Nov5 03:40/04:10/04:40Z, final independent audit at Nov5 05:12Z. GitHub schedules may be delayed/skipped; missed late items are UNOBSERVED, never backfilled. Restricted writer secret installed, provider key reportedly present earlier, fresh main-branch environment readiness dispatch was queued but its new actual execution status has not been confirmed from connected run listing. If GitHub protected environment shows an approval gate, owner approval may be necessary before physical prearm deadline; do not claim it is automatically cleared.

Open critical acceptance after actual execution: 3×3 real source and durable on-time PRE, independent exact GH run timestamps, source/POST per-flight operating denominator and 15min label coverage, webhook inside/outside/unresolved and AIRBORNE/actual-only secondary observability, contractual short-lived Content custody, actual provider billing vs reservations and missingness/bias. Admit G5A PASS_WITH_MEASURED_LIMITATIONS only with real observed and independently reconciled criteria. Neither this issue nor merged CI authorizes Phase5 freeze or Phase6 GO. Do not repeat unavailable runway/vendor email discussions; link binding owner direction in this issue and proceed with measuring live results.

NOV3_LIVE_G5A_POST_LEDGER_GRANT_OPERATOR_SUCCESS — reported Nov 3 ~18:00 Pacific

Actual owner Replit shell stdout just provided: exact pinned POST ledger grant after merged PR #374, commit 6479288daa099d67b2bae6369954e49a4e896370, exact script blob d284c2cb7f2b4003f15114cc1fa32116073f8880. Returned G5A_POST_BASELINE_LEDGER_EXACT_SELECT_INSERT_GRANTED_ONCE, sourceRoleNonAdmin=true, sourceRoleNoDelete=true, sourceRoleNoSchemaDdlGranted=true, publicInsertNotEnabled=true, 0 provider calls, 0 Content writes. Do not repeat this grant or the earlier GitHub writer role bootstrap. Both one-time operator permission steps complete.

Current investigation at ~Nov3 18:00 PT = Nov4 02:00Z: GitHub prospectively scheduled T−24h owner at Nov3 22:40Z / 2:40pm PST, first physical source query Nov4 01:30Z / Nov3 5:30pm PST. These scheduled timestamps are NOT evidence of execution. GitHub connector in this session exposes PR-associated runs and specific-known-run jobs, but does not expose general schedule-run listing; public GitHub Actions URL/REST refused private-repo access, so actual scheduled run and DB receipt status must be checked using authenticated GitHub CLI in the owner's Replit shell (read-only) or any exact run ID the owner supplies. No assertion yet of GH run existence, original bound count or PRE. Deadline urgency: never backfill missed T−24h; next two source query slots around 6pm/6:30pm PT may remain if original true prearm succeeded.

NOV3_T24_MISSED_CRON_PAID_JOB_MISMATCH_RECOVERY_ISSUE_CHECKPOINT

Owner observed production truth Nov 3 ~18:16 PST: authenticated GitHub CLI enumerated phase4-gate5-g5a-real-wsss-prospective-owner.yml scheduled runs = NO_SCHEDULE_RUN_FOUND; privileged Replit read-only PostgreSQL exact cohort WSSS_G5A_20261105_0200Z budget = NO_COHORT_BUDGET_ROW, committed source/PRE unavailable. They have completed POST ledger G5A_POST_BASELINE_LEDGER_EXACT_SELECT_INSERT_GRANTED_ONCE and previous restricted writer GitHub secret setup, no repeat needed.

Critical engineering root cause in merged GH YAML: scheduled 40 22 3 11 *, 40 16 4 11 *, 10 21 4 11 * but the T−24h/T−6h/T−90m paid job guards still compared old 40 23 3 11 *, 40 17 4 11 *, 10 22 4 11 *. Thus even a delivered schedule event could have silently SKIPPED the paid job. The run itself was also absent, a separate GH scheduler non-delivery. This is not provider or user permission failure. T−24h genuinely missed; cannot backfill or claim full-three-horizon science PASS.

Recovery PR #376 actively under exact-head CI: disables retrospective T−24h, fixes guard mismatch, registers 4 GH-only future non-hour schedule times per surviving T−6h and T−90m horizon plus optional reviewed GitHub workflow_dispatch, suppresses V0076 owner duplicates before REST, and removes arbitrary quota cushion to >=2 units and >=1 request with fresh live provider evidence and budget still enforced. Unit regression checks the actual YAML CRON/paid job conditions against TS code, refusal of late T−24h and unauthorized events. Chronology and source evidence recorded durably at incident checkpoint. No migration, new credentials, paid calls or Content writes in the PR.

Next real prearm: T−6h Nov4 15:47Z / 07:47 PST, next backups 16:17/16:47/17:17Z, true cutoff for prearming 18:30Z / 10:30 PST. T−90m GH prearms 20:17/20:47/21:17/21:47Z, cutoff 23:00Z / 15:00 PST. Full 24-unit project cap unchanged. Source proof must come from actual GitHub job/DB outcomes, not green CI. Do not chase old red CI or vendor runway/email loop. Critical path is next-horizon real measurements.

G5A_T24_INCIDENT_REPAIRED_PR376_MERGED_5_OF_5 — 2026-11-03 evening Pacific

PR #376 MERGED to main 9629300f237acb739716ff17cccbfbf5c0019fab, after all FIVE exact-head required Actions checks PASS: V3.9 Offline Safety (full tests, lint, source, registry, traceability, preflight), Gate5 real GitHub owner, YSSY focused, YSSY real PG, YSSY public receiver. Original attempted CI run at head 52fdf40e... had 1 ESLint no-regex-spaces error in a new unit test at line95, corrected by commit 1c2791b4d3d13a88ceb41e6af4c5ab8b60d0d79a; second full suite passed. Old red workflow history is not new failure and is not erased by green merge.

Verified freshly fetched main workflow body: eight new UTC schedule entries 47 15, 17 16, 47 16, 17 17 (Nov4 T−6h) and 17 20, 47 20, 17 21, 47 21 (Nov4 T−90m); job if expressions match them exactly; missed T−24h explicitly disabled; GH workflow_dispatch fallback only future T−6h/T−90m. Source script denies late old T−24h and unauthorized GH events, suppresses duplicate V0076 owners, protects budget, and measures fresh provider quota >=2 units/one request (not arbitrary 100/10). Existing POST workflow still cron 10 2 5 11 * and exact matching post job condition; independent audit cron 12 5 5 11 * and guarded audit event condition. No new permissions, external provider call, production DB write, migration, or secret changes from PR.

Caveat: enabled/disabled workflow state, GitHub scheduled event delivery and protected environment reviewer gates are NOT proven by PR tests; user may use authenticated gh api for a single, non-timed enabled-state inspection and safe enable if disabled. No real T−6h/T−90m job or PRE source receipt yet, so scientific PASS remains false. Owner's original live check reported NO_SCHEDULE_RUN_FOUND and NO_COHORT_BUDGET_ROW on Nov3 evening. No retroactive T−24h reconstruction.

NOV03_G5A_REST_WORKFLOW_PATH_LIVE_ADMISSION_FIX_PR377 — Nov 3 evening, deadline moved to Thursday/Friday Nov 5–6

Owner's authenticated gh api confirmed Actions enabled, all three G5A workflows active, phase2g-paid has protection_rules=[], and eight latest source-owner workflows were successful push/PR offline checks (plus one historical cancelled PR). These green push/PR checks are NOT scheduled paid data or PRE. The Nov3 T24 original scheduled run and budget remained absent. Repository metadata says visibility:public; no evidence the owner made the repo private or environment locked. It is incorrect to state every GitHub Action is currently failing, but historical red failed test attempts remain in Actions history.

Critical independent live-run blocker found: source-owner and POST-owner code compared GitHub API workflow_run.path to a bare .github/workflows/x.yml, whereas GitHub Actions REST documented workflow-run.path may include @main. Thus a genuine scheduled job could enter GITHUB_NOT_PROSPECTIVELY_PREARMED_HOLD or GH_POST_NOT_ACTUALLY_PREARMED_HOLD before provider/DB collection. PR #377 corrects both scripts using a single verified exact main-branch workflow path predicate and rejects PR/fork/ref substitutions, with direct source-level unit tests. At checkpoint time, six exact-head checks passed, full V3.9 Offline Safety was still running. Do not claim merged until verified, and do not reinterpret absence of a scheduled run as an actual failed paid attempt.

Owner explicitly says Thursday or Friday Nov5/Nov6 deadline; no need to rush, but Phase4 Gate5 must deliver real, honest scientific prospective evidence. The Nov5 02:00Z cohort irreversibly missed T24 prearm; full-three-horizon evidence cannot be fabricated. Best prospective complete replacement option is WSSS departures Nov7 02:00–03:00Z = Fri Nov6 6–7pm PST, first T24 prearm Nov5 before 16:30 PST, T6/T90 Fri daytime, POST and independent audit Fri evening by approximately 21:12 PST. This is a proposed future cohort, NOT yet armed or authorized, and must not simultaneously double-charge abandoned Nov5. Preserve source rights, 24-unit project cap, on-time PRE, physical operating flight identity and measured unknowns.

NOV03_FRIDAY_FULL_COHORT_SOURCE_POST_AUDIT_MERGED_PR379_NINE_CHECKS — Nov 3 2026, ~19:20 Pacific

Actual corrected deployment: #377 merged 84163b18bc776368cf1116520afd79a45e617a44, all 7/7 exact-head GitHub CI success. It fixed both PRE and POST real GitHub REST workflow_run.path branch-suffix comparison bugs (Github may return .github/workflows/x.yml@main), preserving exact repo/main/run/job/time guards. No provider requests or production DB writes. Earlier #376 fixed mismatch between cron entries and paid-job conditional with 5/5 CI success. Original Nov3 T24 source event and cohort budget were objectively ABSENT in the operator's authenticated read-only GH/PG check, and remain unrecoverable; no retrospective source/PRE.

Full new deadline recovery MERGED to main: #379, merge 1a064cfe5a3b2fdf474c07ad432a34ba3bc9de9a, exact-head 9/9 green, including real disposable PG16 POST/ledger, real source owner, post source, independent audit, GitHub no-provider credential readiness and full V3.9 Safety (TypeScript/full tests/lint/registry/traceability/aggregate). The first PR-head attempt failed a disposable test fixture because it still queried the stale G5A_NOV05_ cycle instead of the new G5A_NOV07_; fixed at 5ed49342132ea01088dcef130e6a682b9e0c37d3. Last exact-head rerun all 9 success. Some PostgreSQL service ERROR lines are deliberately injected negative-access assertions (e.g. GATE05_OWNER_DELETE_FORBIDDEN), not proof an Actions job failed; use actual run conclusion.

Only one live campaign now: new frozen manifest data-collection/phase4/GATE5_G5A_WSSS_20261107_FROZEN_SOURCE_GRID.json, cohort WSSS_G5A_20261107_0200Z, departures Sat Nov7 02:00–03:00Z (Fri Nov6 18:00–19:00 PST). Old Nov5 source/POST/audit crons removed before they could create a competing V0076 budget; old manifest remains in immutable history as MISS. This new frozen manifest declares freeze 2026-11-04T06:00:00Z (Nov3 22:00 PST), safely after actual Nov3 ~19:17 PST merge and before first prearm.

Actual upcoming GitHub-only backup times, local Pacific: T−24h Thu Nov5 1:47/2:17/2:47/3:17pm, first paid GET Thu 5:30pm, prearm deadline Thu 4:30pm; T−6h Fri Nov6 7:47/8:17/8:47/9:17am, first GET Fri 11:30am, deadline Fri 10:30am; T−90m Fri Nov6 12:17/12:47/1:17/1:47pm, first GET Fri 4:00pm, deadline Fri 3:00pm. GitHub-only manual workflow_dispatch fallback is permitted for exact horizon before immutable cutoff; no Replit cron, Cloudflare or Agent. POST GH owner scheduled Fri Nov6 6:10pm, three 2-unit GETs 7:40/8:10/8:40pm, independent READ ONLY source→PRE→POST audit GH Fri Nov6 9:12pm (Nov7 05:12Z), logs safe aggregates to this issue.

Project budget: at most 9 one-attempt source FIDS requests at 2 API units each (18), plus 3 POST at 2 units each (6), 24 units max for this new cohort under real V0076 immutable DB reservation, no paid retries/backfill. Owner confirmed BOTH one-time Replit steps successful (restricted source DB writer GitHub secret and baseline POST ledger SELECT,INSERT); do NOT repeat or ask about provider plan. Owner also proved Actions enabled, all three workflows active, phase2g-paid protected rules empty. The merge updated existing no-provider GitHub credential readiness workflow push paths, so a new post-merge main-branch external-role readiness job should run automatically; its actual result was NOT YET visible when recorded. The old #293 issue comment HOLD_GITHUB_DEDICATED_SOURCE_OWNER_SECRET_ABSENT predates the successful secret installation and must NOT be presented as current.

Scientific final status: NOT_YET_MEASURED, not PASS or phase5/6 release. Green CI is tested code, not paid GH scheduled job, original source or before-cutoff PRE. Friday source/PRE/POST and independent operating-leg denominators, as-of G5A schedule-revision labels, unresolved webhook/coverage/selection bias, retention and actual billing still require independent real receipts. Never re-open old AeroDataBox runway/email impossibility loop; user directs bounded scientifically valid measurements and pragmatic missingness, Thu/Fri completion.

Oct31 engineering update — new future-cohort READ ONLY diagnostic PR #294

PR #294 adds a separate bounded WSSS-or-reviewed-ICAO manifest-scoped candidate inventory to avoid the old WSSS Oct31 17:00–18:00Z hardcoding. It uses 3 injected SQL SELECT/WITH queries and explicit caller-owned REPEATABLE READ READ ONLY transaction contract: (1) original query receipts ever/retained, hash and availability-aware provisional population counts, (2) actual persisted PRE rows by horizon, and (3) tentative identity-resolved callback inside/outside sampled core and stored wheels-off label-status counts. Unknown legal/expired original source => denominators null; no actual-only runway label or physical-operating flight certification. No AeroDataBox, Alert, credential use or database write; no new prospective cohort/paid workflow.

Six synthetic regression tests and dated Phase4 handoff linked from Phase4 README. The first CI found a TypeScript syntax error in the new module (a multiline as Record assertion); corrected in commit 984ecb3fea670cd35233f7088155a4516ba9d2f9, all four required checks are rerunning. PR is not yet merged; a future GitHub main-only READ ONLY runner remains separate work. Historical Oct31 paid/READ ONLY Actions are untouched; source-native T/actual-only label issue #200 remains HOLD; Phase5/6 NO-GO.

Oct31 Gate5 new-cohort read-only core MERGED / four-check CI PASS

PR #294 is MERGED to main as commit 78768614da39372d7056732b60edf5d20a58bc7f after all four required CI checks SUCCESS (V3.9 Offline Safety including source-catalog and full suite, focused guard, actual PG fault suite, public receiver). New server/lib/disruption/phase4Gate5FreshCohortReadOnly_v39.ts and six offline tests define cohort-parameterized source/PRE/callback/outcome read-only candidate diagnostics. Dated Phase4 handoff linked from Phase4 README. Original canonical implementation log blob remains 0a5e4bedfa7c743feaf05ec2dc66f22084f39236; historical Oct31 audit/code untouched.

Three parameterized SELECT/WITH source queries require caller-owned REPEATABLE READ READ ONLY transaction, a reviewed manifest SHA syntax and explicit UTC/IANA-bound service cohort. Returns retained original query receipts and candidate source/codeshare counts, persisted PRE source links, provisional resolved callback inside/outside sampled core and source-scoped stored outcome statuses. Original unavailable/expired => source-dependent denominator NULL, never zero. Independent selected T, actual wheels-off, physical operating denominator and Gate5 science never self-certified. This is code plus synthetic tests, NOT a production-connected audited future cohort.

Next independent software unit: (1) exact reviewed real frozen manifest hash and verified current data rights, (2) separate main-only protected no-provider GitHub action opening actual PostgreSQL REPEATABLE READ READ ONLY, using this new function within 10s query limits, matching original source/persisted PRE and callback/outcome records, rollback and anonymous counts; (3) real live audit of read/role/grants/expiry and tests for missing source. No paid request. External native T/actual-only proof issue #200 still blocks strict Gate5, Phase5/6 remain NO-GO.

Oct31 19:31 PDT — VERIFIED post-merge real PostgreSQL protected READ ONLY schema smoke

PR #295 MERGED main 777983700ec931b93e343e413dfef153ebc3ee14, all four mandatory PR checks SUCCESS (full V3.9 offline suite, focused, real PG faults, public receiver). The new GH-only main push historical SQL workflow ACTUALLY ran: #41265529465, job 124727440059, SUCCESS, returned real production read-only audit at 2026-11-01T02:31:29.318Z, and P4_HIST_REAL_DB_AUDIT_EXECUTED_NOT_SCIENCE_PASS. Confirmed manifest SHA c3785cfae051fd0cf4ef3dd68a3a9d8b0079c89cd34c002fe5610000ff318853, WSSS historical Oct31 17–18Z only.

Actual result: 2 retained FIDS originals; 110 scoped original-normalized source rows and 110 provisional distinct analytic identities; 0 tagged-core canonical operating identities; 0 scoped hash/member-parent clock violations; persisted PRE source-linked T−24h=0, T−6h=0, T−90m=0; 0 original-identity-resolved WSSS webhook candidates in this restricted join, 0 scoped stored wheels-off outcome rows. These zeros are measured in exact table joins only, not proof of no real callbacks/flights/actual departures or full licensed population. Independently confirmed selected native T / actual-only wheels-off counts remain NULL/UNKNOWN. This newest generic SQL uses a different source retention/lookback boundary than the earlier strict 24h-limited afterflight audit (which returned one retained original, 86 source rows); do not rewrite earlier results or backfill missed cutoff. Oct31 T−6h stays UNOBSERVED.

Safety actually verified: protected phase2g-paid database reader secret only at audit step; caller's real BEGIN TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ READ ONLY, ROLLBACK, zero provider/API requests, zero new AeroDataBox units, no Alert subscription or live database DML. Existing historical paid/afterflight workflows untouched, canonical Implementation Log blob still 0a5e4bedfa7c743feaf05ec2dc66f22084f39236.

Issue #293 remains OPEN for the genuinely FUTURE separately frozen study manifest and independent fresh-cohort Actions audit. The historical smoke is now operationally proven but NOT the future cohort runner. Gate5 HOLD, Phase5 FREEZE HOLD, Phase6 NO-GO. Source native T/actual-only field issue #200 remains the next scientific blocker. No Replit shell task for owner.

Oct31 19:43 PDT — REAL protected native AeroDataBox original source-field census VERIFIED, no paid calls

PR #296 MERGED main a139cf1f030b83bdb1a2896aada499a3610354bc with all 4 mandatory CI SUCCESS (full V3.9 Offline Safety, focused guard, actual PG faults, public receiver). GitHub protected historical READ ONLY run #41266327695, job 124729782987, SUCCESS, actually executed the new native field coverage + prior generic cohort SQL in the SAME real read-only PostgreSQL transaction, auditUTC 2026-11-01T02:43:35.710Z. Exact SHA-pinned historical manifest c3785cfae051fd0cf4ef3dd68a3a9d8b0079c89cd34c002fe5610000ff318853. No AeroDataBox GET, no provider credit, no Alert, no SQL write, rollback.

Actual raw original FIDS FIELD PRESENCE (two retained WSSS Oct31 17:00–18:00Z original receipts, sampled 2 of 2):

Raw departure movement source observations = 111. These are raw movement rows across retained query responses, NOT unique operated flights.
Raw IsOperator tags = 32, IsCodeshared = 62, other/unresolved codeshare tag = 17; physical operating flights independently certified = UNKNOWN/null.
Generic scheduled departure field present = 111; revised departure field present = 87; quality field present = 111, Live quality tagged = 87.
Source departure.runwayTime.utc present = 0/111 at inspected native JSON path; explicit departure.airport.icao present = 0/111 at inspected native JSON path. These are measured field-presence zeros for this bounded source sample, not proof of no actual runway departures or no actual origin. revisedTime and runwayTime may be estimated OR actual by official current AeroDataBox OpenAPI; Live is not a per-timestamp actuality certificate.
Generic normalized audit still measured 2 retained query receipts, 110 normalized source population rows and 110 provisional analytic identities, 0 tagged-core canonical IDs, 0 certified/persisted PRE across three horizons, 0 identity-resolved WSSS callbacks in narrow DB join, and 0 scoped stored wheels-off rows. Actual-only target count/real capture rate remain NULL/UNKNOWN; raw 111 vs normalized 110 is a counting-layer difference, not evidence of unique physical flights.

Disposition: Additional FIDS or Status GET using the same source shape is NOT justified as a route to original scientific actual-only wheels-off proof without an authenticated alternative AeroDataBox observation/quality contract; source semantics issue #200 is still open. Original Oct31 T−6h UNOBSERVED and no retroactive backfill; T−24h fixed horizon not independently validated. No scientific Gate5 PASS, no Phase5 FREEZE, no Phase6 activation. Continue authorized nonpaid scope validation and future-cohort manifest work; owner need not run any Replit command. Historical source remains intact, canonical implementation log blob 0a5e4bedfa7c743feaf05ec2dc66f22084f39236.

No certified operating identities, persisted PRE (all horizons zero), actual-only wheels-off labels, or identity-resolved original WSSS callbacks in strict source join. Missing source/target/denominator outside joins remain UNKNOWN/null, not measured zero.
No paid AeroDataBox GET, API unit, new subscription, Replit shell or DB write; original Oct31 paid/historical workflow and source data preserved. Initial T−6h remains UNOBSERVED, T−24h fixed cutoff unverified; no retroactive backfill. Gate5 scientific HOLD; Phase5 final freeze HOLD; Phase6 NO-GO. Historical-only verified software reconciliation does not activate a new prospective cohort.

Next critical path: authenticated AeroDataBox provider-native scheduled T and per-record ACTUAL ONLY runway/wheels-off label proof (current OpenAPI revisedTime/runwayTime may be actual or estimated; Live quality not per-field proof), confirm physical operating/passenger scope and original-to-member lineage, then a fresh future frozen 24h/6h/90m nonadaptive grid and protected audit under issue #293. Do not spend on another semantically identical GET assuming it yields missing actual runway data.

Oct31 source-rights dependency checkpoint — NOVEMBER 7 TERMS / ZERO PROVIDER

Official AeroDataBox September 7 terms announcement states existing subscribers' grace period expires November 7, 2026 subject to exceptions (new subscriptions immediate). Current official Terms Art 5.5/5.6/5.8 last updated Oct11: default seven consecutive calendar days for API Contents, possible separately proven plan/Cache-Control/narrow-purpose exemptions, and stricter permitted-purpose and deletion requirements. Per-flight normalized source rows are NOT automatically exempt as independent Derived Works. The actual subscribed RapidAPI plan and any signed exception remain unverified; no legal compliance claim.

PR #299 MERGED main c9ea838f978546a15d8ddec1c63d70e16c524b2f with all 4 mandatory CI PASS: fail-closed pure retention-admissibility check with exact clock / technical expiry / seven-day default review boundary / Nov7 warning / original versus per-flight derived-class / fake self-asserted account/Cache-Control proof / actual-only T and runway rejection tests, no network/DB. Phase4 dated checkpoint. Separate issue #300 tracks concrete account rights and source lifespan verification, not this external semantic issue and not automatic data deletion: #300.

Meaning: scientific source-native scheduled T and actual-only wheels-off remains unresolved here in issue #200; future frozen cohort with true 24/6/90m source/horizon scheduling remains issue #293. The code does NOT certify legal rights/actuality or trigger existing paid workflows. No new provider GET, credits, Alert, SQL write, original source deletion or Replit shell.

VERIFIED repository account truth and reusable zero-paid current-cycle diagnostic — PR #301 MERGED

Historical plan identity is NOT missing: original Gate0 Sept10 evidence records RapidAPI legacy/grandfathered Team Ultra as owner-attested ($32 Sept4 renewal) and live provider quota 60,000 / 59,994 with separate Alert balance 2,900; project authorized cap 50,000 for that dated cycle. Original Sept11 retention audit already records owner-attested raw 7 days max, FIDS query cache 24h max and 168h PITR / backup recovery BLOCK, object/log/replica surfaces not independently cleared. DO NOT ask owner again for the historical plan or silently discard these records.

PR #301 is MERGED at main commit 1a62b11395f0b4887491503532a1ab8a6b264152 after 4/4 required GitHub CI checks SUCCESS; hash-locked canonical Implementation Log still original blob 0a5e4bedfa7c743feaf05ec2dc66f22084f39236. Dated Phase4 status, linked first in Phase4 README, explains historical attested plan vs live-verified quota and original backup block, actual Nov7 rights review, and terminal source semantics.

New pure phase4Gate5LegacyUltraAccountRecall_v39.ts + six offline tests refuse altered historical evidence and current quota drift into fake scientific PASS. Optional scripts/v39_phase4_account_quota_readonly_once.ts in merged main uses only the provider-documented FREE GET /subscriptions/balance via existing strict account reader and outputs sanitized units/reset/Alert figures; no flight data GET, FIDS, subscription, refill, SQL writes, or paid authorization. This is a single untimed Replit shell operator read, not a repeated user question, if a current-cycle refresh is needed.

Remaining: current quota/renewal and actual plan rights still require independently dated evidence (the historical 60k is not today's quota), backups still need physical clearance, and provider-native selected-T/per-value ACTUAL wheels-off/operating leg proof stays #200. Future full three-horizon grid #293 not armed. Gate5 scientific HOLD, Phase5/6 NO-GO; no paid runs or DB mutations were made by PR #301.

Oct31 22:00 PDT — ACTIVE Phase4 Gate5 implementation, not just audits (pending PR CI)

Two new engineering PRs were opened from merged Phase4 main (source baseline be65d8437f35e7f35f6bdd16ae86fd0cb9833da5):

PR #303: three independent prospective GitHub horizon-owner plans, using full nonadaptive cutoff-grid, owner digest, separate T−24h/T−6h/T−90m prearm-open/running-deadline windows, no 18h single-runner assumption, actual per-request hard 15m-before-cutoff dispatch limit, all allowed retries reserved in API units. Adds a main-push zero-provider synthetic fixture workflow; not paid or live. Byte-exact source fixture checks were corrected after CI caught a test mismatch. Four required checks must pass before merge.
PR #304: new future-cohort-scoped PRE original-asof SQL, three flight-specific horizon cutoffs, earliest first observed schedule, original response SHA/availability ordering including all retained source versions, explicit ambiguous operator/marketing classes, optional webhook/weather NULL. Separate un-wired SERIALIZABLE transactional PRE writer, rollback on DB fault or provenance-mismatched idempotence, source semantics/retention/evidence/transform-deployed-by-cutoff guards, focused tests. Adds a distinct protected read-only historical PostgreSQL SQL smoke to exercise new query after successful merge. No current production PRE writes.

Scientific truth retained: original October31 missed T−6h cannot be backfilled; old T−90 source success not full Gate5. Provider-specific first true scheduled T/actual-only departure still #200; subscription data class retention/Nov7/PITR still #300. Account already known historically grandfathered Team Ultra; owner-run current free evidence Oct31 21:33 PDT: 60k limit/59,974 remaining, 1,830 Alert credits, user project ceiling 50k. No further account identification question needed.

Current: PRs 303/304 awaiting CI/merge. No new paid collection/date has been activated. A green synthetic or old PG read-only smoke is not Gate5 PASS; Phase5/6 remain NO-GO. Preserve these checkpoints in Phase4 folder; do not modify hash-locked canonical Implementation Log.

Oct31 22:12 PDT — MAJOR Phase4 Gate5 production-code progress merged and REAL PostgreSQL SQL smoke verified

Both implementation PRs are MERGED to main with all four required CI SUCCESS:

PR #303 merge 7b229c19ee00436399e884454f689eeb3b815242: three independent GitHub prearm owner plans for full nonadaptive T−24h/T−6h/T−90m source grid, worst-case attempt/API budget, hard dispatch cutoff, host lifetime guard; actual GitHub offline post-merge run #41275533928 SUCCESS. Synthetic future HOLD fixture: nine source requests / 27 reserved physical attempts / 54 budgeted units, 0 actual provider calls, 0 DB writes, 0 actual future runners armed.
PR #304 merge a870662dfd6c0c9875fce50f51d9d8270c335db6: NEW scoped original-FIDS-asof PRE SQL, strict all-version SHA+availability source lineage, individual flight T−24h/T−6h/T−90m cutoffs, role/codeshare uncertainty; separate unwired SERIALIZABLE transactional PRE writer with frozen builder-before-cutoff and exact JSONB provenance/idempotence/rollback. Four required checks SUCCESS after fixing mock to recognize new integrity SQL. Future writer remains disabled until actual independently authenticated selected T/operating identity/retention rights/frozen cohort.

REAL protected production PostgreSQL READ ONLY evidence: postmerge #41275935187 SUCCESS at 2026-11-01T05:11:30Z, on original historical WSSS 2026-10-31T17:00–18:00Z, SHA-locked old manifest, REPEATABLE READ READ ONLY and ROLLBACK. For 110 provisional analytic IDs in retained historical original sources, new per-flight candidate as-of SQL measured:

T−24h 24 source-asof candidate observations / 86 without a qualifying original before that nominal individual cutoff; 24/24 observed remain unverified physical operator/scope, 0 certified built PRE.
T−6h 24 source-asof candidate observations / 86 without; all 24 still unverified scope/identity, 0 built.
T−90m 110 source-asof candidate observations / 0 without, but all 110 unverified scope/identity, 0 built.

Interpretation guard: 24 earlier-source per-flight candidate observations at T−24h/T−6h are NOT the scheduled T−24h/T−6h frozen-grid experiment or valid replacement for Oct31 missed 03:07 PDT T−6h GitHub run. Their source and cutoff definitions differ. The original T−6h scheduled acquisition remains UNOBSERVED, no retrospective backfill. candidateInMemoryRows=0, independentSelectedNativeT=false, certifiedPreRowsPersisted=0, providerCalls=0, databaseWrites=0, strictGate5Passed=false, Phase5/6 NO-GO. No verified physical operating or actual-only runway denominator.

Next true blockers: issue #200 authenticated first provider-native selected T / actual-only per-value runway and operating identity; #300 legally permitted source class/cache/backup rights under Nov7 terms; and #293 actually approved future frozen cohort with 3 independently running GitHub prearmed owners, full paid grid/custody, independent postflight audit and properly certified PRE. Existing user paid authorization acknowledged; no live paid campaign launched by these merged PRs. Historic Team Ultra and free current quota 60,000/59,974 already documented, please do not re-ask user.

Oct31 22:30 PDT — Phase4 Gate5 next-cohort independent audit automation MERGED and postmerge GitHub VERIFIED

New PR #305 merged to main at d8f9963b1e339fc6bb173b61cd685861f28b21b1, all four required premerge CI PASS. Implements first real future-cohort audit GitHub workflow phase4-gate5-future-independent-readonly.yml with two jobs: SHA-pinned independent frozen-cohort admission no secrets followed only when approved by protected existing database-reader independent 3 original FIDS / PRE / webhook-outcome SQL SELECTs under REPEATABLE READ READ ONLY + ROLLBACK. Current reviewed manifest is intentionally UNASSIGNED/HOLD, and pin NEXT_AUDIT_APPROVED_SHA256_V39 is null. A new genuine future study must be frozen/reviewed in a PR, code-pin exact digest, and be observed after its actual service interval before that second job can execute. No CLI/user timestamp can bypass. Tests cover malformed SHA, canonical byte drift, false dates, expired raw review, untrusted GitHub event, secret leakage, and no actual paid calls.

Also fixed a real NULL bug in future-cohort source SELECT: previously m.response_hash<>q.response_hash OR m.available_at<q.available_at could silently skip NULL original/member SHA or clocks under SQL 3-valued comparisons; now every missing timestamp/hash counts as an invalid source observation and only explicit positive non-null evidence can enter the candidate denominator.

Postmerge ACTUAL GitHub validation run #41277163029 SUCCESS: HOLD_NO_NEW_COHORT, manifest SHA bb4f8418742a7e0320b0769327f2fb5da53ed9cd03e9e0e7a5c469fe3decf006, protected database job SKIPPED as intended, providerCalls=0, databaseWrites=0. Existing fixed original-oct31 protected historical SQL run #41277163030 SUCCESS on the strengthened future inventory SQL: 2 retained original FIDS receipts, 110 normalized source population rows, 0 invalid hash/clock rows measured, 110 provisional distinct analytic identities, 0 persisted PRE across all 3 horizons, actual-only wheels-off unknown/null, providerCalls=0, databaseWrites=0. All old missed T−6h source events remain UNOBSERVED and cannot be backfilled.

Still not Gate5 PASS: #200 independent AeroDataBox provider-native selected-T/actual-versus-estimated departure runway and physical operating-leg source semantics (Oct30 provider support email sent; no reply in latest connected mailbox check), #300 legacy Team Ultra source/retention rights for Nov7 2026 and 168h PITR, #293 real paid new future frozen nonadaptive three-horizon source collection with physically running independent GitHub owners (PR #303 only compiled/verified offline, not paid dispatcher), certified persisted PRE via PR #304 writer (currently unwired), full capture/operational outcomes and external provider universe checks.

Account already known and 2026-11-01T04:33:48Z current free 60k/59,974/1,830 Alert evidence is documented; DO NOT ask the user again to identify plan or repeat paid permission.

User requires no Replit shell now. Actual code/reliability remaining: new reviewed frozen next service cohort, provider/source rights, main-only idempotent GitHub pay-per-query physical owner tied to full frozen three-horizon grid, actual post-window prospective audit and native T + actual-only label verification. Do not silently declare a synthetic compiler and clean audit as a physically executed experiment.

Oct31 ~23:10 PDT — Phase4 Gate5 live-physical-dispatch engineering continued, deadline-focused checkpoint

User has already authorized paid operations within known source/budget restrictions and explicitly asked for GitHub-only orchestration; do not re-ask historical Team Ultra account, existing secret names, or paid approval. No Replit command needed for current development.

Merged PR #306 main SHA d48dc65943473c7cad2d0f7d7a1b0020b155029f after all four mandatory CI PASS. New real reusable physical-source attempt guard validates frozen manifest digest, exact three-horizon owner/run-window, actual GitHub job start before prearm deadline, request-level planned/15-minute-hard-latest physical dispatch, every retry, per-project/account quota and stable query/attempt reservation digest. Actual three independent GH job rehearsal #41278368706: owner-t24 PASS, owner-t6 PASS, owner-t90 PASS, using explicitly simulated 2027 times, ZERO actual prearmed future paid jobs, ZERO provider calls.

PR #307 #307 staged V0076 migrations/staged/V0076__phase4_gate5_logged_physical_fids_attempt_owner_v39.sql creates four LOGGED tables (cohort REST cap, exact source owner/GitHub ID, frozen query/cutoff, immutable physical attempt journal) plus a SECURITY DEFINER atomic reserve function, global cohort->owner->query row locks and pre-HTTP nonrefundable unique attempt. NO production install, no GRANTS. Includes real disposable PostgreSQL16 workflow and SQL proof for duplicate/foreign-run/refund/budget; four checks had PASS on original head but conflicting README with PR #306 required exact Git merge into PR307 head 9f1360e5734e059631130b55fbf413cee83246f3, now rerunning four mandatory CI. New merge head incorporates both Phase4 README entries and same tested SQL bytes.

PR #308 #308 new DB-only Node adapter for SERIALIZABLE reservation then COMMIT then fresh hard-cutoff validation, stale account quota reject and nonrefundable late hold, no provider HTTP, release pin NULL. Four checks in CI; base is PR306 merged main, likely requires README-only merge reconciliation once PR307 merges. No production DB writes/provider calls.

Remaining for true Gate5: complete PR307/308 CI+merge+postmerge disposable PG16; install V0076 only via reviewed production role/grant, code-pin real future manifest and schedule genuinely physically running GitHub T−24/T−6/T−90 full-grid owners rather than simulated green jobs, connect audited AeroDataBox FIDS sender to committed ledger with final physical cutoff, confirm actual account-specific raw/normalized/cache/PITR rights (#300), provider-native first selected scheduled T/actual-only wheels-off/codeshare identity (#200), build and independently audit qualified persisted PRE/callback/actual outcomes (#293).

Fri Nov 6 ~06:18 PST — sleep-safe POST→independent audit handoff

User has executed reviewed one-time safe Replit POST recovery dispatcher. Its strict READ ONLY DB check returned T24/T6/T90 all exactly 12 distinct and on-time PRE, zero late, nine source original bindings (3 per horizon), 12 matching frozen-T keys across all three horizons, POST attempt ledger=0, budget 18/24, and providerCalls=0, databaseWrites=0. It dispatched repaired POST run #42230194925 at 06:01:03 PST under main SHA b05cc2afb2f10eace38a0ce6576a44a6f7289a34. Latest independently checked live GitHub result ~06:18 PST: post-source in_progress, no failed steps; first physical POST GET is still scheduled 07:40 PST. Do not rerun dispatcher, cancel, duplicate paid POST, or backfill PRE.

Independent no-provider read-only audit workflow .github/workflows/phase4-gate5-g5a-nov06-1400z-independent-final-audit.yml is already configured with four Friday Nov6 GitHub schedule triggers 09:12, 09:18, 09:24, 09:30 PST (17:12/17:18/17:24/17:30 UTC), actual audited script admits runs only 09:10–10:00 PST. Audit uses separate P4_G5_G5A_NOV07_AUDIT_DATABASE_URL reader role; POST aggregate expected after ~09:01 PST. Cron attempts are best-effort, not guaranteed executed.

User may sleep until evening. A one-time ChatGPT scheduled 09:45 PST audit/check task was created and enabled to inspect POST and GitHub scheduled independent audit run/status and report observed outcomes or missed scheduled audits; it does NOT issue provider requests, write DB, or automatically dispatch GitHub Actions. This is a status safety net, not a replacement for the actual GitHub audit workflow. If the audit cron is missed, preserve data and transparently report missing audit; no fake PASS or retrospective observations. Distinguish operational complete PRE from scientific PASS (still false). Education/docs on draft PR #409; actual POST-only patch on merged PR #410; frozen grid unchanged.

Fri Nov6 07:42:47 PST — first POST physical observation just became due; runner still live, no job failure observed

User saw GitHub UI post-source running 1h40m with only startup pg SSL warning. Independently checked POST run #42230194925 at ~07:42 PST: status=in_progress, conclusion=null, job post-source has checkout/setup/npm success and Actual GitHub scheduled 3× bounded POST originals and T+2h label counts still in_progress, no failed steps. Run is pinned to repaired main b05cc2afb2f10eace38a0ce6576a44a6f7289a34. Source code confirms await waitUntil(ms(planned),readOnlyHealthProbe) performs read-only PG heartbeats without printing on each success, then at 07:40 PST checks provider quota, reserves 2 units and tries one FIDS GET; it logs G5A_POST_ORIGINAL_SOURCE_PERSISTED only after successful original persistence, or G5A_POST_RESERVED_SLOT_OUTCOME_UNKNOWN on a caught paid/commit error. Failed quota precheck/missed slot can increment unknown without immediate log, so green in_progress + silent log is not proof first GET succeeded. Fetching in-progress job log via GitHub connector returned BlobNotFound, a log-download backend error, not a reported Actions job failure. The 07:40 physical slot is only ~2–3m past at time of check; too early to declare a stuck process. Physical slots 07:40,08:10,08:40 PST; final ~09:01 and scheduled independent audits 09:12–09:30. No cancellation, rerun or duplicate paid dispatch allowed. Read-only ledger/budget check can be done if concern persists, and final audit must distinguish reserved attempt, bound original and qualified outcome. This checkpoint claims no completed POST original yet, only verified live process and expected silence during earlier waiting.

Fri Nov6 07:51:05 PST — actual first POST reservation confirmed, receipt unverified; read-only provenance follow-up

User executed strict read-only Replit shell on repaired POST owner #42230194925. Database clock 2026-11-06T15:51:05.433Z = Fri 07:51:05 PST. Result POST_LEDGER=[{"post_attempts_reserved":1,"first_reservation":"2026-11-06T15:40:00.982Z","latest_reservation":"2026-11-06T15:40:00.982Z"}], internal project reserved_units:20,project_unit_ceiling:24. Exactly one real durable POST attempt reservation occurred 07:40:00.982 PST; this is not proof of provider charge, returned HTTP success, persisted FIDS original, normalized records or qualified schedule revision. GH at ~07:52+ independently confirms POST run and post-source job in_progress on repaired SHA b05cc2afb2f10eace38a0ce6576a44a6f7289a34 with no reported failing steps. In-progress GH log blob retrieval via connector 404; log silence alone is expected while waiting, but now a reservation exists, hence stronger DB readback appropriate.

Authored and Bash/Node syntax checked a one-paste, strictly REPEATABLE READ READ ONLY Replit query for user (no source content/IDs printed) that groups clean.adb_rest_attempt_ledger by reservation, joins clean.flight_population by batch_id=reservation_id::text, then joins clean.fids_query_response by population_query_id, response hash and raw_payload->>'g5aPostReservationId', counts authenticated original responses, saved normalized rows, qualifying keys and matches to frozen T24 anchors available by T+2h, and checks budget <=24. Prints zero provider calls/database writes; no dispatch, replay, backfill or DB mutations. If original count 0 after first reservation and >10m elapsed, classify first POST evidence not yet persisted/unknown, not automatic whole-cohort failure and definitely not permission to retry paid GET. First next physical POST slot 08:10 PST and third 08:40 PST; aggregate ~09:01, independent GitHub read-only audits 09:12/09:18/09:24/09:30. Existing one-time ChatGPT review 09:45 scheduled. Keep science PASS false.

Fri Nov 6 ~07:56–08:00 PST — first POST original independently provenance-joined from owner's READ-ONLY database output; second and third slots still pending

Owner-supplied database evidence, reproducible with read-only exact-cohort SQL at database timestamp 2026-11-06T15:55:53.363Z (07:55:53 PST) for manifest 02865331b9137c2ffb4d7e2b0a8c2a6016d0838051fd04f09a44c6f02e238667:

Query returned READ_ONLY on; diagnostic made zero provider calls/DB writes.

Independently verified live GitHub connector: repaired POST run #42230194925 still in_progress at inspection around 07:58 PST, post-source job #127933814106 step 5 active, setup/checkouts/npm completed/success, offline-post deliberately skipped. Deployed POST script blob 7ec3cef93a689678b7df45d53ea2e50646bb110c at reviewed main b05cc2afb2f10eace38a0ce6576a44a6f7289a34. Live log download still returns GitHub blob-storage 404 BlobNotFound; not evidence of workflow failure.

NEXT: leave this exact owner running. Second POST original scheduled 08:10 PST / 16:10Z, third 08:40 PST / 16:40Z, aggregate ~09:01 PST / 17:01Z. Audit workflow on main currently specifies independent restricted-reader 09:12/09:18/09:24/09:30 PST attempts; scheduled delivery not guaranteed. Only after all slots and W=T_native+2h aggregate assess observed/missing per 12-flight × 3-horizon repeated-measures cohort; audit output is deliberately NOT automatically scientific PASS, provider billing reconciliation and actual wheels-off remain unresolved. 9:45 PST separate ChatGPT follow-up check already scheduled. No new POST dispatch, paid replay, source correction or late PRE backfill. This is a checkpoint based on user-presented DB readback plus direct GitHub verification, not an independent new DB connection by assistant.

Nov 6 09:01–09:07 PST — repaired GitHub POST RUN SUCCESS: 3/3 physical originals, 36/36 schedule-revision labels, no source unknowns; independent audit pending

Directly fetched completed GitHub Actions job and decoded log, run #42230194925, post-source job #127933814106: job status=completed,conclusion=success, including the real POST collection step. Reviewed code at main b05cc2afb2f10eace38a0ce6576a44a6f7289a34; frozen manifest SHA256 02865331b9137c2ffb4d7e2b0a8c2a6016d0838051fd04f09a44c6f02e238667.

Actual source receipts shown in completed runner log:

slot0 ~07:40:23 PST: G5A_POST_ORIGINAL_SOURCE_PERSISTED, 312 normalized rows.
slot1 ~08:10:19 PST: G5A_POST_ORIGINAL_SOURCE_PERSISTED, 304 normalized rows.
slot2 ~08:40:20 PST: G5A_POST_ORIGINAL_SOURCE_PERSISTED, 303 normalized rows.
Aggregate log at 09:01:00 PST: G5A_POST_FROZEN_WATERMARK_AGGREGATE_OBSERVED_NOT_GATE5_VERDICT, postSlotsPlanned=3,paidReservations=3,providerRestUnitsReserved=6,originalPostReceipts=3,normalizedPostRows=919,unknownSourceSlots=0. Expected project budget 18 PRE + 6 POST = 24/24 reserved; still independently verify budget DB and actual provider billing.

These are 36 repeated horizon observations of 12 distinct frozen flight identities, not 36 independent flights.
outcomeKind=PROVIDER_REPORTED_SCHEDULE_REVISION_NOT_ACTUAL_DEPARTURE, actualWheelsOffClaim=false, strictGate5Passed=false, phase5FreezeAuthorized=false, phase6Authorized=false.
After final aggregate, log G5A_POST_PG_ASYNC_DISCONNECT_IDLE_ONLY code=END appears during ordinary db.end() cleanup; step and job completed success. This is not evidence an unfinished request crashed.

Decision: no repeat POST, no backfill/overwrite PRE, no new paid provider run. A successful data collection is not scientific certification. Key scientific HIGH-importance open issues: (1) target is schedule revision rather than verified real departure delay/wheels-off; (2) single airport/hour + 12 matched identities, with all 0 positive revision labels, insufficient for disruption classification/evaluation, (3) composite/conditional operating identity and scope uncertainty, (4) provider billing and original retention/use rights, webhook and airborne completeness, independent audit.

Immediate next checkpoint: GitHub independent restricted no-provider audit scheduled 09:12/09:18/09:24/09:30 PST (workflow on main); verify actual job executed, collect its source→PRE→POST counts/unknowns and separate reader permissions. GitHub cron best-effort. Existing user-authorized one-time 09:45 PST ChatGPT audit check will also inspect status but does not dispatch jobs. Avoid treating green POST as strict Gate 5 PASS; plan a scientific verdict / limited-scope partial closeout based on audit and transparent unresolved rights/target semantics.

Fri Nov 6 afternoon (after 14:15 PST) — scheduled independent audit DELIVERED LATE and safely HELD; no scientific PASS

Verified via live GitHub Actions workflow runs and decoded job logs for .github/workflows/phase4-gate5-g5a-nov06-1400z-independent-final-audit.yml, all on repaired POST main b05cc2afb2f10eace38a0ce6576a44a6f7289a34:

Cron scheduled PST	Actual GH run started PST (approx.)	Run	Outcome
09:12	14:07	42302215470	failure, safe HOLD
09:18	14:09	42302449663	failure, safe HOLD
09:24	14:10	42302627533	failure, safe HOLD
09:30	14:14	42303223421	failure, safe HOLD

All four passed checkout, Node and npm installation, then stopped with the same explicit sanitized JSON: G5A_INDEPENDENT_NO_PROVIDER_AUDIT_HOLD; reason=P4_G5_G5A_INDEPENDENT_GITHUB_READER_DATE_OR_ISOLATION_HOLD; providerCalls=0, databaseWrites=0, scientificGate5Passed=false. The audit script's requireG5AIndependentAuditContextV39 rejects execution outside 2026-11-06T17:10:00Z through 18:00:00Z (09:10–10:00 PST). Actual runner execution began after 22:07Z (over 4 hours past the immutable audit admission window). The elapsed-time predicate alone proves the reason for the HOLD; do not diagnose credentials as the cause from the deliberately generic error code. This HOLD occurs before the script opens the independent database client. Consequently no independently audited source→PRE→POST counts were published to issue #293. GitHub scheduled events were delivered late, not absent.

The separate 9:45 AM ChatGPT status-check automation did execute and completed at 09:44:41 PST; it correctly reported POST success and audit not yet verified then. That informational automation does not dispatch a GitHub workflow.

Preserve genuine data: PRE horizon owners used frozen 66ff4908cbd63a19668485c935da49fc18652654 (12/12 on-time each as previously verified); repaired POST 42230194925 completed success on distinct SHA b05cc2afb2f10eace38a0ce6576a44a6f7289a34, three POST original receipts (312+304+303=919 normalized), 36/36 schedule-revision observations, 0 source-slot UNKNOWN, 3 POST reservations/6 project units, 24/24 aggregate project units expected. No claim of actual wheels-off outcome or scientific Gate5 PASS.

Next safe action (not performed here): produce/review a strictly independent, late no-provider/read-only audit recovery that explicitly distinguishes later attestation from contemporaneous observation; preserves expired original-use rights, immutable original hashes/metadata and PRE cutoffs, original cohort and capped budget. Verify the audit reader's read-only isolation without printing secrets. Only then permit ONE manual GitHub audit invocation, with an independently reviewed applicable time admission policy. Do NOT rerun the current failed jobs unchanged (the original hard stop time has passed); do not rerun paid owners/POST, backfill/alter PRE, replay expired originals, or merge draft docs PR #409. Scientific Gate5 remains NOT PASSED pending real independent output and honest target/rights/identity/billing limitations.

Fri Nov6 ~18:12 PST — delayed independent read-only recovery merged, NO manual audit dispatch yet

Verified PR #411 exact-head e899625da4666ca1ede52cbf59317b377dd3c87d 5/5 GitHub CI workflows SUCCESS, including 17/17 independent audit tests; merge to main was confirmed as e7038b31f52031f5317d0f5446c904f038b292a7. Verified current main SHA and merged audit workflow file blob e11561baa5ed8fa77421c2c31b44639143a236e6 in GitHub. Push-triggered offline workflows #42327945631 and #42327945614 were launched as expected; those are unit/CI, not actual independent DB audit. No workflow_dispatch independent audit run has been verified at this checkpoint.

Recovery changes only audit script, audit workflow and a focused test: historical scheduled cron/admission remains unchanged, and a manually checked late_readonly_recovery=true input admits a strictly read-only metadata attestation within 2026-11-06T22:00Z–2026-11-09T08:00Z. Metadata result MUST be labeled LATE_READONLY_METADATA_ATTESTATION_NOT_ORIGINAL_ON_TIME_AUDIT, not on-time science.

Fri Nov 6 18:48 PST — recovered independent audit COMPLETED/SUCCESS, strict G5A scientific gate still HOLD

Direct live GitHub verification: manual late independent audit run #42330969278 audit-independent job #128277160585 is completed/success, including real independent source/PRE/POST query step and issue-comment publication. The user's first guarded script submitted exactly this manual workflow. Their second guarded script returned HOLD_LATE_AUDIT_ALREADY_DISPATCHED: this is an intended duplicate-prevention success, not another failed audit. Do NOT run either again.

Primary independent result: audit JSON comment #6701236001 as-of 2026-11-07T02:48:13.851Z; auditTimingClassification=LATE_READONLY_METADATA_ATTESTATION_NOT_ORIGINAL_ON_TIME_AUDIT. 3/3 original bound source slots per horizon (9/9 PRE sources), 12/12 real on-time PRE each T−24h/T−6h/T−90m (36 repeated horizon snapshots, no late/no missing hash/no missing native T version); POST qualifying labels 12/12 each (36 horizon comparisons) and 0 threshold-positive (>=15m schedule revision), 0 censored in this selected cohort. Original PRE source population 432 normalized row observations, 324 ambiguous/marketing row observations; 12 distinct conditional composite operating identity keys, zero provider-confirmed native operating-leg IDs. Source-use lifetime elapsed on all three T24 original slots at audit time. Project internal unit reservation 24/24 (NOT independently confirmed provider billing). Independent audit made zero provider calls and zero DB writes, and published results. The historical 09:12–09:30 scheduled audits were genuinely late-and-held; the late recovery must not be falsely reported as contemporaneous.

Scientific decision: G5A source/PRE/POST collection and limited late metadata audit complete. Strict scientific Gate5 is NOT PASSED, no Phase5 freeze or Phase6; 12 composite IDs not certified physical legs, one class only, no independently observed webhook inside/outside/unresolved or actual departure target, unresolved source-use/legal purpose and actual billing. These are explicit limitations, not permission to invalidate or redo true prospective on-time data. No new paid GET or retrospective PRE repair. Need only targeted metadata reconciliation of any already existing webhook/airborne funnel and rights, or classify it NOT_ESTIMABLE, followed by defensible narrow verdict / future preregistration.

Durable artifact: Created docs-only Gate5 independent late audit verdict and minimum next work and linked it at top of Phase4 README on draft education/docs PR #409. No production main, DB, provider or frozen grid changes.

Nov 6 — specific remaining Gate 5 evidence and safe read-only reconciliation ready (NO new paid experiment)

Direct repository audit: Frozen G5A WSSS Nov 6 14Z manifest specifies FIDS request timing/budget but no flight-alert subscription; the 714-line actual G5A PRE owner and POST source-owner scripts use fetchFidsPopulation, fetchFidsAirport and cutoff-safe PRE, not AeroDataBox Flight Alert creation. Therefore the successful 9/9 FIDS source + 36/36 schedule-revision observations do not by themselves demonstrate webhook inside/outside/unresolved or AIRBORNE. Other collection batches' alerts cannot be attributed to G5A without an exact identity/provenance join. Original audit distinctConfirmedOperatingLegIds=0, distinctConditionalCompositeOperatorKeys=12 further makes exact webhook linkage uncertain. Source-level absence of a G5A alert-registration call does not establish zero webhook traffic in production.

Concrete artifact implemented, not merely more planning: Read-only final metadata diagnostic on docs-only draft PR #409, pinned Git blob 8c43278ca979b1a98bca4a37458c75627b36a4ab; companion Phase4 Gate5 report updated. The diagnostic is manual only, with default_transaction_read_only=on, REPEATABLE READ READ ONLY, savepoints, no provider/network access, no DB writes and no original/raw item Content read or printing IDs. It checks exactly named alert subscriptions, exact leg:g5a PRE↔webhook join, WSSS nearby webhook aliases (separately labeled non-G5A), all-airport raw-delivery window (also clearly non-G5A), exact PRE-key AIRBORNE evidence/snapshots and wheels-off outcome-status metadata; absent tables/grants become UNKNOWN. It has not yet executed on the user's live Replit DATABASE_URL; Neon plugin project list was empty; a single pinned Replit operator execution can produce measurements. The exact G5A frozen data must not change. gh output is retained as aggregate only.

Rights clock: Official Sep 7 AeroDataBox marketplace terms announcement states general existing-subscriber grace until Nov 7, default Content caching seven days except qualifying plan/derived work rights. The grandfathered RapidAPI Ultra unit quota alone is not legal evidence of long-term normalized-record retention/ML training; #300 stays open for account-specific terms. This is a true rights review, not a reason for redundant paid probes or invented source certification.

Scientific status unchanged: G5A FIDS schedule-revision pipeline and late metadata audit operationally finished. Strict f.8 scientific Gate5/Phase5 freeze/Phase6 remain HOLD pending truthful independent webhook/AIRBORNE denominator assessment and rights/identity/actual-outcome target classification. If the existing historical data cannot link, mark NOT_ESTIMABLE and prepare a distinct prospective protocol for any future collection—not repeat the completed one-hour cohort.

Fri Nov 6 19:13 PST — final 8/8 live metadata audit COMPLETE; concrete source-vs-software diagnosis and Phase 5 handoff

User executed real production REPEATABLE READ READ ONLY audit at DB 2026-11-07T03:13:13.355Z. All 8/8 metrics measured with 0 provider calls / 0 DB writes:

Exact frozen G5A T24 PRE identity keys 12 (proves correct cohort/database, not empty/wrong DB).
0 alert subscriptions registered under exact G5A batch WSSS_G5A_20261106_1400Z in clean.adb_collection_subs.
0 resolved webhook delivery IDs exactly linked to selected PRE composite keys.
0 nearby WSSS webhook identity keys for independently checked gate-time window (not equivalent to G5A schedule).
0 raw deliveries, 0 subscription-tagged raw deliveries, 0 notification items from all airports in the specified Nov5–6 database time window. This is a historical window measurement only, not proof the provider didn't send outside it.
0 exact PRE-key verified airborne eligibility / AIRBORNE snapshots.
0 exact PRE-key flight_outcomes wheels-off outcome rows.
The Node pg SSL mode compatibility warning was nonfatal; read-only audit succeeded.

Root cause is importantly on our side for the missing streams, not evidence of a provider delivery outage: inspected frozen G5A manifest and actual real PRE/POST code. G5A is a FIDS-source-only prospective collection protocol: it never created named Flight Alert subscriptions nor scheduled a new AIRBORNE trajectory source, so no G5A-specific webhook/flight-time evidence should be inferred. The generic server/routes_v3.ts receiver persists webhook originals and identity resolution when called, and adbCollectionController_v3.ts and phase6SegmentActivation_v39.ts do create FlightByAirportIcao subscriptions under different, separately authorized Phase6 batches. But receiver health / subscription→notification→identity pipeline is NOT validated by the G5A sample. FIDS conditional composite identities (12) use a different method than canonical webhook IDs; any future match needs verified link, not string equality.

Phase 6 integration alert: phase6SafetyWatchdog_v39.ts explicitly never performs FIDS, and reviewed main workflows do not include a dedicated Phase6 timed FIDS collector. Phase6 alerts alone will not guarantee on-time 3-horizon FIDS PRE snapshots or actual-only wheels-off/airborne records; Phase5 needs a separate prospective Github-only FIDS owner and well-defined positive identity bridge. This is a code/integration readiness gap, not a demonstrated provider contract fault. The schema already includes detailed flight_population, flight_snapshots, raw_delivery, flight_data_pre_post, flight_airborne_snapshots, flight_outcomes, etc. Those columns will have real contents only if source/clock/identity/retention supports them; empty NULL fields must stay UNKNOWN rather than fabricated.

Implemented, no production mutation: Phase4 definitive engineering source-vs-software report and read-only, bounded Phase5/6 column and recent row presence inspector on draft documentation PR #409, with updated Phase4 README. Source-only schema/row count view does not grant rights to read/retain expired provider Content. No extra paid GETs, no alert subscription creation, no database changes, no Phase6 authorization.

Bounded disposition: The specific G5A FIDS→on-time PRE→POST schedule-revision pilot is complete with measured limitations (9 original PRE source GETs, 36 snapshots, 3 POST originals, 36 source revision comparisons, 24/24 internal units). The original §1.9 strict full scientific Gate5 remains HOLD for cohort-specific webhook partition/physical-leg certification/actual-only outcome/legal retention. Classify unavailable G5A webhook/AIRBORNE/actual outcomes as NOT_OBSERVED/NOT_ESTIMABLE; don't re-run this 1-hour 12-key cohort. Start nonpaid Phase5 implementation and dataset-readiness work, with Phase5 freeze and Phase6 live still separately gated.

Next priorities (one integrated Phase5 release): verified rights before Nov7 new terms; test positive paid/not-paid subscribed receiver with explicit authorization and one-to-one identity (not inferred from G5A); wire independent GitHub-only prospective FIDS PRE/POST owner and censor missingness; implement protected legal column/data-quality view for Phase7. No Cloudflare/Replit Agent/perfection loop.

Nov 6 evening — root cause and Phase5/6 future-source safeguard status (no paid launch)

G5A eight-of-eight user production metadata audit at 2026-11-07T03:13:13.355Z: 12 frozen T24 PRE identities, 0 named G5A subscriptions, 0 exact PRE-key webhook deliveries, 0 all-airport raw-delivery records in specified Nov5–6 measurement window, 0 matched AIRBORNE and 0 actual wheels-off outcome rows. Exactly 0 provider calls/0 database writes. The G5A owner itself did not CREATE Flight Alert subscriptions and carried only FIDS source/PRE/POST; do not label its unmeasured webhook stream a provider outage. Official ADB Flight Alert API requires separate subscription CREATE; no such G5A provenance exists. Native provider IDs were 0/12 candidate identities, conditional composites 12/12, requiring future positive cross-source identity checks.

New source-vs-software audit & Phase6 data visibility and read-only schema/columns/recent-presence inspector on draft PR #409. No live dashboard or DB data access claimed from merely creating file.

Found a real future software risk: generic defaultWebhookUrl() permits secretless fallback while routes_v3.ts requires a /:secret route; Phase6 parent/child subscription code formerly called create without an explicit verified target. PR #412 adds the pure pre-CREATE HTTPS authenticated receiver guard, validated callback passed to first and child subscriptions, and offline tests. Focused 6/6 PASS #42334098602; TypeScript full check PASS #42334098619; other YSSY receiver checks PASS. V3.9 Offline Safety #42334098761 still in progress at this posting. PR #412 is DRAFT/UNMERGED, no provider or database mutations, no Phase6 authorization.

Moving bounded pilot follow-up into Phase5 integrated readiness issue #413: separate GitHub-only prospective FIDS source and three horizons (Phase6 safety runtime explicitly never performs FIDS), receiver/alert linkage, one-to-one identity/censoring, account-specific storage/ML rights after Nov7 terms, legally guarded read-only data viewer and Phase7 labels. G5A FIDS schedule-revision pilot is COMPLETE WITH LIMITATIONS; original strict f.8 scientific Gate5 HOLD; Phase5 freeze and Phase6 activation not authorized. Do not replay G5A/late audit or alter historical snapshots.

Final scientific disposition and ADSB.lol clarification — Nov 6 2026 Pacific

Direct source review confirmed a real Oct 29 ADSB.lol free WSSS snapshot #40856550765: 12 aircraft records / 11 fresh positions. Historical Oct29 checkpoint establishes it was finite anonymous/no-DB-write research, with no independent match to G5A's selected physical flights, and no approved production polling. Earlier Oct28–29 AeroDataBox Alert also genuinely delivered 28/28 original notifications / 151 status items, including 68 EnRoute/Departed, but 0/151 location objects (source audit). NOAA separate #41593914766 supplied 4/4 station METAR receipts. These all count as historical evidence, none is automatically an ADSB/FIDS position join to the separate Nov6 G5A cohort.

The Nov6 G5A live read-only database check measured 12 frozen PRE composite keys, 0 G5A batch alert subscriptions, 0 exact-key webhook matches, 0 all-airport raw deliveries in specified Nov5–6 window, 0 exact-key AIRBORNE, 0 actual-only wheels-off outcome. It does not erase historical Oct28 Alert or Oct29 ADSB results. Code cause: G5A source owner was explicitly FIDS-only; paid Flight Alert CREATE and separate optional ADSB source were never provisioned under that frozen G5A cohort. Do not tell owner AeroDataBox/ADSB lacked data without a real matching experiment or provider SEND evidence.

Gate5 truth and next phase: Nov2 G5-R #41587498998 was a valid operational/revised collection readiness PASS, and Nov6 G5A 9/9 on-time PRE source originals, 36/36 PRE, 3/3 POST, 36/36 schedule-revision comparisons and late read-only audit are completed with limitations. However Amendment B expressly restores original full scientific Gate5 criteria: predeclared source-native physical IDs, webhook in/out/unresolved, AIRBORNE stepwise funnel, qualified outcome label, stratified selection and source-use rights. Those have not passed, so Phase5 nonpaid planning/engineering may continue but Phase5 FREEZE and Phase6 live GO remain prohibited. No more identical paid source-only replays.

Safe next diagnostic: all-time capped read-only optional-source presence audit is prepared, not yet run. It checks historical anytime table rows (capped) without source values/aircraft identifiers; exact G5A zeros were a different question. Schema presence does not prove ADSB.lol origin; the research scripts by design wrote no ADS-B to DB.

Phase5 safeguards: PR #412 fixes a real future receiver-secretless callback CREATE hazard. New patch lint error was isolated and repaired on PR; do not merge until its exact-head 5/5 CI passes. Phase5 umbrella #413 extends earlier minimal Phase5 handoff #344, not a replacement for historic science criteria. No new provider call, DB mutation, subscription or Phase6 start from these reviews.

Phase ownership correction — no more "Phase5 reconcile YSSY"

The owner clarified that Phase5's real work is the final 31-day collection plan and FREEZE, not a new home for YSSY incident debugging or repeated Phase4 tests. I corrected draft PR #414, Phase5 issue #413, and repository paths:

Phase4 (Phase4 Gate5 REQUIRED scientific population audit: source→operating denominator→PRE→webhook in/out→POST #293) original Gate5 scientific HOLD and one-horizon residual test decision. Valid operational Gate5-R PASS and Nov6 9/9 original PRE + 36 cutoff-safe PRE + 3/3 POST + 36 schedule-revision comparisons; full original f.8 / Amendment B webhook/AIRBORNE/native-ID/rights funnel still HOLD. A future small paid test must have a new predeclared technical hypothesis, not another identical source-only WSSS cohort.
Phase2G (BLOCKER Phase2G/Phase6: determine P2G24 callback Autoscale instance-change trigger and prove durable ingest #28) YSSY delivery-gap diagnostic and metadata-only read-only legacy DB check; don't assert 2 missing physical flights from 2 credits or erase historical original SHA. Published receiver mismatch is not paid-GO.
Phase5 (Phase 5 — freeze the 31-day collection plan, source rights, GitHub schedules and daily data QA #413) 31-day FREEZE/QA checklist and genuine read-only schema/column presence auditor. Phase5 planning/build GO; freeze and Phase6 paid activation still NO-GO until actual rights, frozen frame/time/budget, safe receiver/source, identity and audited acceptance.

A single preregistered future microcohort MAY be shared between YSSY receiver feasibility and Gate5 flight identity feasibility, with separately reported questions, avoiding two unnecessary paid tests. No new provider calls or DB writes by docs and script changes. Parent issue remains open for scientific hold; no false original Gate5 PASS.

User overnight automation requirement — Nov 6 Pacific

Any later warranted one-flight Gate5 technical microprobe must be GitHub-controlled end-to-end with time-scoped source owner, independent STOP/DELETE and independent read-only audit. User explicitly does not want timed manual Replit Shell operations.
Latest public Replit receiver read-only run #42348224686 GET HTTP200 but reported HOLD_PUBLISHED_SOURCE_DIFFERS_FROM_TESTED_RELEASE; claimed deployment SHA 84b7f15. Workflow success means successful read-only diagnostic, NOT published release approval. Retired Gate05 old paid controller is if:false; do not rearm historical scope.
If later approved under authenticated actual source/retention rights and reviewed deployed receiver, test exactly one prospectively frozen FlightByNumber physical subject, one true on-time T-90m FIDS, one POST and one eligible Alert with one-shot CREATE, current budget and unknown CREATE safety, independent SEND/received/STOP/expiry audit. A no-SEND result is inconclusive, never a callback PASS. For now no paid overnight experiment armed; Phase4 strict original scientific Gate5 HOLD and Phase5 work continues under #413/#416.

Phase4 Gate5 REQUIRED scientific population audit: source→operating denominator→PRE→webhook in/out→POST #293
