# Telegram Live Canary - 2026-07-09

## Scope

Live Telegram-visible test in the authenticated Chrome Telegram Web Leo group. User explicitly authorized bot test messages to Leo. No KB mutation was requested; both prompts told Leo not to change the KB.

## Result

- Turn 1 sent at 21:31 Europe/Zurich and Leo replied: `LIVE_TG_TURN1_ACK Marker WL-LIVE-TG-CORY-20260709 noted: approved != applied.`
- Turn 2 sent at 21:32 Europe/Zurich and Leo replied with the previous marker/correction plus read-only KB audit: proposal `00957f6c-9883-4015-95a4-6b09367efb0e` is `applied`; edge `c167933e-d513-4f43-9335-d5d8aeb259f2` exists in `public.claim_edges`; the canonical row exists.
- Turn 3/4 write canary is captured separately at `outputs/telegram-live-canary-20260709/telegram-live-db-write-canary-20260709.md`: Leo staged proposal `8dfedb3f-3aa4-4200-970f-4c0016f6869f` in `kb_stage.kb_proposals`, remembered it in the next Telegram turn, and Postgres verified zero canonical `public.*` rows were created after the T3 timestamp.

## VPS Stability Readback

After both live Telegram turns, `leoclean-gateway.service` remained active/running with the same stable service identity:

```text
MainPID=3252143
NRestarts=0
ExecMainStartTimestamp=Thu 2026-07-09 06:59:44 UTC
ExecMainStatus=0
WorkingDirectory=/home/teleo
User=teleo
ActiveState=active
SubState=running
```

The recent journal for `2026-07-09 19:32 UTC` shows Leo handling the Turn 2 KB audit through the live gateway. It first tried the wrong direct query shape (`edge_id`, `from_claim_id`, `to_claim_id`) against one Postgres container/user combination, recovered by inspecting `public.claim_edges`, then queried the correct `id`, `from_claim`, `to_claim`, `edge_type` columns and returned the visible Telegram answer. That is positive evidence for Cory's desired behavior: live Leo can perform a KB audit, notice a schema/query mismatch, repair the query, and answer without mutating the KB.

## Local Harness Tests

Focused local tests for the guarded approval helper and the non-mutating claim/source contract preview passed:

```text
uvx pytest tests/test_approve_proposal.py tests/test_kb_claim_source_contract_preview.py
11 passed, 1 warning in 0.03s
```
