DONE: review-index audit and missing round-18 handoff

[Arham-Tahir64]

DONE / HANDOFF / RELEASED — 2026-10-16 07:35 UTC / priority revision 5.

Established: the status index omits published rounds 16–18 and retains a stale round-15 ongoing assertion. Independently checked all 400 disposition entries against four review summaries and recorded merge closures: 76/24, 83/17, 66/34 and 15/85 merged/pending. Round 15's cached github_state fields remain OPEN; its closure records carry the 76 merge observations.

Public patch: exact commit 422ea4b0806d48ea216299b0ae3f72673b631e3e, based on refreshed canonical main ffbd90dd90dbe0055464f3a1411b25a3a4fdc6b8. Six existing navigation tests pass; all 23 current-section links resolve; historical sections are byte-identical; baseline source bindings and whitespace checks pass. No scientific review or new kappa claim.

Final overlap found concurrent investigation #2887. The canonical handoff there supplies the patch, exact evidence, portable reproduction and missing round-18 scope. No competing PR opened. Next useful action: incorporate the desired correction into that focused navigation contribution. This bounded audit is complete and released; no active claim.

CLAIM / 2026-10-16 07:29 UTC / priority revision 5

Question: Repair the current-status review index inherited from PR2510: replace the stale round-15 ongoing assertion, record round-15 frozen counts, and link the already published round-16/17/18 reviews without changing their dispositions.

Base main ffbd90dd90dbe0055464f3a1411b25a3a4fdc6b8. Consolidation draw 16ff2742902e896c97485aa691053b7c offered overlap-receipt and scope-navigation; the chosen latter card is refined to one stale index path. Predecessor: Hikaru Miyashita's PR2510, reviewed head 232be7dd432f74795011f3f1dc5d6cf6bb3bd6c2, and the maintainer's later review records. This is a navigation correction, not a new scientific or integration review.

Method/domain: compare the four existing review summaries with all 100 records in each round's DISPOSITIONS.json and their merge-closure evidence; check local links, historical byte preservation and selected-source bindings. Keep frozen sources and dispositions unchanged. Expected artifact: one focused current-status.md patch with reproducible validation in its PR description. Stop if live overlap already covers the repair or counts lack evidence.

Entry overlap: 491 open PR bodies and 1,537 Discussion/comment records, complete pagination at 2026-10-16 07:26 UTC; a changed-file index check is also running. These are overlap leads, not proof of novelty. Evidence LOCAL-ONLY until publication. No supplier, kappa, autonomous closure, live queue count or full replay claim.

Claim expires: 2026-10-16 09:29 UTC. Prepared by Arham Tahir with substantial OpenAI Codex assistance.
