They are approved and waiting for an operator/admin to run the apply sequence with postflight readback. The blocker is authorization and tooling, not source-row linkage.\n\nPending review (14):\nThese proposals are sitting in `pending_review` \u2014 no reviewer has actioned them. The causes vary:\n- `f5036882` \u2014 strategy-kernel doc evaluation, never reviewed\n- `bcec8528` \u2014 Declaration of Intelligence doc, never reviewed\n- `e987b07c` \u2014 Good Strategy/Bad Strategy evidence attach, never reviewed\n- `da53f198` \u2014 Rumelt strategy-kernel primary source grounding, never reviewed\n- `23e896c2` \u2014 living-system concept map revision, never reviewed\n- Several others (Markov blanket, Hayek papers, add_edge canaries) \u2014 same status\n\nThe missing proof for your question would be a row-link audit: inspecting each proposal's `source_ref` and `apply_payload` against actual `public.sources` rows to see whether pointer mismatches exist. The current bridge doesn't surface that automatically.\n\nSo the single-cause \"wrong source rows\" answer is no. The real blockers are two separate things:\n1. Approved proposals need an operator apply run\n2. Pending proposals need reviewer attention \u2014 they haven't been reviewed at all yet\n\nNext Cory-style follow-up: a row-link audit of the pending proposals' `apply_payload` vs `public.sources` would answer whether source-pointer mismatch is a secondary blocker \u2014 but the primary one is reviewer queue, not pointer hygiene.",

The strict `add_edge` apply path is live-proven. They are not stuck on pointer mismatch \u2014 they are stuck on missing operator review and authorization. These could be applied now if a reviewer approves them.\n\n`attach_evidence` proposals (10 proposals: `f5036882`, `bcec8528`, `e987b07c`, `23e896c2`, `da53f198`, `e106ca60`, `e60fa116`, `416385fe`, `124942fd`, `a59311ae`)\nThese carry document grounding work \u2014 raw Telegram-ingested files, KB-stage research files, logical source keys \u2014 that need to land as `public.sources` rows before evidence links can be written. The layers are distinct:\n- raw local/Telegram file references\n- `kb_stage` document evaluations\n- proposal `source_ref` / logical source keys\n- canonical `public.sources` rows\n\nThe missing proof is a row-link audit: do the logical source keys in each proposal payload already have matching `public.sources` rows? And is there a live apply path for `attach_evidence` that writes those rows? The answer to the second question is no \u2014 only the strict `add_edge` apply path is live-proven. The `attach_evidence` apply worker is not live.\n\nSo the blockers are:\n1. No live `attach_evidence` apply path (all 10 evidence proposals)\n2. No reviewer decision yet (all 14 pending)\n3. For source-heavy proposals, possibly missing `public.sources` rows \u2014 but that cannot be confirmed without a row-link audit comparing proposal `source_ref` keys against existing canonical `public.sources` UUIDs\n\nNext Cory-style follow-up: The proof-changing action is a row-link audit on the `attach_evidence` proposals \u2014 check whether their logical source keys already exist as `public.sources` rows, then assess whether to rebuild as strict payloads or wait for the apply worker to ship before authorizing.",

This is what \"KB changed\" actually means in the product sense. Requires explicit operator/admin authorization plus an apply/postflight sequence with before/after readback. Not runnable from chat without that.\n\nWhat you cannot demo without Tier 2: showing that a claim, source, or edge now exists in canonical search results.

No rich packet (like 7 Powers) has a matching strict `apply_payload`. These cannot be cleanly demoed without rebuilding the payload and shipping the apply worker first.\n\nCurrent tier ceiling in plain terms:\n- Strict `add_edge` path: live-proven\n- Guarded `approve_claim` bundles: clone-proven, behind separate reviewer/apply roles\n- Production permission migration and apply worker: disabled\n- Approved legacy packets without strict `apply_payload`: not worker-applyable\n\nIf you want to demo canonical change, the safest real demo is a new staging canary followed by a reviewed strict `add_edge` apply with retained before/after postflight readback. That requires your explicit authorization \u2014 not something Leo runs from normal chat on its own.\n\nNext Cory-style follow-up: Say the word and I can stage a fresh `add_edge` canary right now (Tier 1, safe) \u2014 or if you want to authorize a Tier 2 canonical apply on one of the existing pending canaries, name which one and I'll prepare the apply packet for your review.",

The layers are distinct:\n- raw local/Telegram file references\n- `kb_stage` document evaluations\n- proposal `source_ref` / logical source keys\n- canonical `public.sources` rows\n\nThe missing proof is a row-link audit: do the logical source keys in each proposal payload already have matching `public.sources` rows? And is there a live apply path for `attach_evidence` that writes those rows? The answer to the second question is no \u2014 only the strict `add_edge` apply path is live-proven.

-- Strict score report: `docs/reports/leo-working-state-20260709/leo-restart-survival-direct-claim-score-current.md`
-- Current scorer failure: `DC-06` missed explicit row-level proof language even though it correctly separated `SOUL.md` runtime edits from canonical DB identity.
-- Repair in this branch: VPS/GCP KB bridge skills now require the `SOUL.md` direct-claim answer to include a row-level proof sentence naming current readback, new/updated row IDs, canonical `public.*` or identity rows, and postflight/render-sync proof.

 ## Claim Ceiling
 
-This proves Leo survives an intentional `leoclean-gateway.service` restart on the VPS, keeps canonical DB counts unchanged, and still answers the no-post Cory-style direct-claim suite after restart. This retained restart-run score was pre-repair and strict-scored `5/6`. A later deployed repair at `090becae1621436467610e529d6328d70964d11f` strict-scored the same no-post direct-claim suite `6/6`; see `leo-post-skill-repair-direct-claim-summary-current.md`. This still does not prove Telegram-visible DC-01..DC-06 group delivery, production application of the rich approved packets, autonomous apply-worker production readiness, or GCP parity.
+This proves restart-cycle service recovery plus DB-count stability and no-post handler behavior only when `survives_restart=true`. It does not prove Telegram-visible message delivery, production DB apply, or GCP parity.

+A pass proves broad out-of-sample and same-session-memory behavior through the live VPS GatewayRunner using a temporary profile, with no Telegram post and no DB count change. It does not prove human-visible Telegram delivery, production DB apply, or GCP parity.

Let me correct it table by table using live counts, then give you the two counter-packet examples and the real receipt contract.\n\nDB readback: claims: `1837`; sources: `4145`; claim_edges: `4916`; claim_evidence: `4670`; kb_proposals: `26`.\n\n---\n\nTABLE-BY-TABLE VERDICT\n\npublic.claims\nMoves only if a NEW claim row is inserted. Packets that attach evidence to an existing claim or add an edge between two existing claims leave this count unchanged.\nVerdict: conditional.\n\npublic.sources\nMoves only if a NEW source row is inserted. Packets that reuse an existing source leave this count unchanged.\nVerdict: conditional.\n\npublic.claim_edges\nMoves only if a NEW edge row is inserted. Packets that add a claim+evidence with no edges leave this count unchanged.\nVerdict: conditional.\n\npublic.claim_evidence\nMoves only if a NEW evidence link is inserted. Edge-only packets (connecting two existing claims) leave this count unchanged.\nVerdict: conditional.\n\nkb_proposals\nThe kb_proposals COUNT does not change on apply at all. The proposal row already exists and is counted. What changes is the row's `status` field (pending_review -> approved -> applied) and `applied_at` timestamp. The count breakdown shifts (approved -1, applied +1), but the total row count stays at 26.\nVerdict: never a count increment.\n\n---\n\nCOUNT INVARIANT IS FALSE\n\n\"All five numbers must move\" fails in every packet type except a maximally rich new-claim-new-source-with-edges packet. Even there, kb_proposals total count still doesn't increment.\n\n---\n\nCOUNTER-PACKET EXAMPLES\n\nAttach-evidence packet (reusing existing claim C1 and source S1):\n- claims: 0 (C1 already exists)\n- sources: 0 (S1 already exists)\n- claim_evidence: +1 (new link row C1 -> S1)\n- claim_edges: 0 (no edge declared)\n- kb_proposals: 0 count change (row updated, not inserted)\n\nEdge-only packet (connecting existing claim C1 to claim C2):\n- claims: 0\n- sources: 0\n- claim_evidence: 0\n- claim_edges: +1 (new edge C1 -> C2)\n- kb_proposals: 0 count change\n\n---\n\nUNIVERSAL RECEIPT CONTRACT\n\nAn apply succeeded if and only if:\n\n1. `kb_proposals.status` = `applied` for the proposal UUID\n2. `kb_proposals.applied_at` is non-null (the timestamp is the apply event)\n3. Every row ID named in the `apply_payload` exists in the corresponding canonical `public.*` table with the expected content\n\nThe receipt is the applied_at timestamp plus the specific row IDs. Not a count delta. Counting is only useful as a sanity check that the right number of net-new rows appeared \u2014 and that number is zero for some tables in every valid packet type.\n\n---\n\nCorrection stands: I should not have stated that invariant. The original statement was imprecise and would reject valid apply receipts for attach-evidence and edge-only packets.\n\nNext Cory-style follow-up: pick a real approved proposal UUID and verify its apply_payload names the right canonical row IDs \u2014 that is what a live receipt audit would look like.",
