seller fee stage 2a: the seller node remits the platform fee automatically after each collect and retries with backoff while it runs; maxplayer seller fees remit is inspection and recovery

[maxy-player]

Seller fee stage 2a — the platform fee becomes payable and the seller node pays it automatically, with a retry loop behind it; the accrued gross is a hard ceiling on the spend; a planned remittance is owned under a lease, passes ONE compare-and-set fence in the store immediately before the melt, and that fence BINDS the one mint quote the owner may pay; every release is a conditional state transition carrying its reason's predicate; and — from round 5 — a spending row bound to a quote is released by nobody, on no clock: it settles when the mint reports that quote PAID and is HELD otherwise, so a second attempt is never admitted while a payment may still land. Final head: a0aafe8cd5996abe68cf22c7423fa0940e7efaac — the removal of this delivery's reports/ working notes from the branch, deletions only, no .rs byte touched (executable head unchanged at c53705a192ec4f8dac19ad1177e03561ba518929, the reviewed head published to this branch on 2026-09-09; the round-9 head 240240c3f26bd35c3a8c5a3d70229f9730a0a221 and round 10's 08c476cadc012d0e12546cf2ceb0a729534178fc are preserved below as historical evidence), base a6217328 (stage 1, #973). 105 commits at a269952 (a pre-rebase count); at the published head the delivery is d55ceaf..c53705a1 = 141 commits with zero merges of ours (a6217328..c53705a1 also shows 7 merge commits, every one main's own, inherited by the rebase), all authored and committed as w-seller-fee-stage2a-remit <worker@forge.local> except ec56d0c, whose author/committer NAME is w-ecash-mutual-credit (email worker@forge.local unchanged): the shared checkout's .git/config has held user.name = w-ecash-mutual-credit since 2026-09-05T03:07:27Z and that commit omitted git -c user.name=… -c user.email=…, falling through to it — disclosed below, not amended (append-only) — the commit list, round by round with one line per commit, is commit-history-a6217328-240240c.md (moved out of this body for the character cap; it ends at 240240c, the executable head, and the reports-only commits after it up to this body's pin — the final head). The round-5-to-10 sections below are written against 240240c and 08c476c and are preserved as historical evidence; the head pinned, reviewed and published is c53705a1. Append-only through d17fd33, then ONE authorised integration rebase (2026-09-09). ebb4f30, 77cce72, 534247b, 6fc77e1, 6fd13df, 19f30d3, da0ee92 and 4714623 (the eight graded heads) are ancestors of 240240c and of the pre-rebase graded head d17fd33ee1e187fdfec6c7a6cc8581c812bb356b. None of them is an ancestor of the published head, because the delivery was replayed onto main: git merge-base --is-ancestor <sha> c53705a1 is false for all eight and for 240240c, 08c476c and d17fd33 — measured, not assumed. Every pre-rebase commit is retained and still resolves on the fork (gh api repos/maxy-player/maxplayerai/commits/<sha> returns 293e0e6a…, fde92e73… and d17fd33e…, checked 2026-09-09T02:12Z), so every permalink in this body still opens.

⛔ This is the product's first seller-fee payment code (operator melts — maxplayer wallet melt — existed before it). allow_real_mints defaults to true, so on a default install this pays real sats to a real Lightning address from the seller's real ecash.

Heads (addendum 9 §5, addendum 10 §5). Executable head being reported and published: c53705a192ec4f8dac19ad1177e03561ba518929. Its lineage, each step under its own order and gated before the next: 31deed8c68bbacca97ec1a7bf34d1c6ebc408736 (steps 1–3; CI-green 7/7, run 34275523983) → 08c476cadc012d0e12546cf2ceb0a729534178fc (one .rs commit, 1 file, +2 / −3: record 45's assert literal, killing the one clippy diagnostic inside our added lines — this corrects the 08c476cbb0b0… this body cited before, which resolves to no object) → reports-only commits to d17fd33ee1e187fdfec6c7a6cc8581c812bb356b, the graded pre-rebase head → d56cc163e406d32227b2eeaf4c6634c158cc0808 (integration: 140 commits replayed onto main at d55ceafe287b97481eefbd304574ad1db6e93d3a) → c53705a1 (one test-transport repair, 1 file, +57 / −17, every line inside a single test fn). d55ceaf..c53705a1 = 141 commits, 0 merges. Every section below headed 08c476c is pre-rebase historical evidence; what supersedes it — the gates re-run at d56cc163 and c53705a1, and published CI — is in the CI section. Pre-rebase, git diff --name-only 08c476c..HEAD | grep -v '^reports/' | wc -l was 0 — no .rs, docs or Cargo change after the executable head, the only delta being 11 reports/w-remit-r10/ files (+682 / −3).
Every gate below ran at the pre-rebase executable head 08c476c (re-run after the rebase and after the repair — see the CI section), serially, by reports/w-remit-r10/run-gates-r10b.sh (committed c94dbd4), launched 20:52:19Z as pid 53734; it finished on its own at 21:05:40Z with STAGE3 money-path x3 done — ALL DONE, was never restarted, and no second runner was launched. Each log's line 1 is git rev-parse HEAD — the reports-only commit the runner happened to be sitting on (c94dbd4, a44c0be or ff6e47a) — and line 2 is exec head 08c476c; .rs diff to HEAD:, empty in all 58 logs, so every one of them is .rs-identical to the head being reported. Why there are two executable heads this round: 31deed8 is the last code commit of steps 1–3 and is the head CI last ran on (run 34275523983, success 7/7). Its gate set was clean but for one clippy diagnostic inside the added lines — identity_op on record 45's assert literal 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 at fee_remit.rs:5642. 08c476c is the one commit that fixes it (1 + 0 + 1 + 1 → 3, message “invoice 1 + Lightning 0 + ACTUAL input 1 + swap 1 = 3”): git diff --numstat 31deed8..08c476c -- '*.rs' = 1 file, +2 / −3, a test assertion literal, no money code and no changed expectation. Because a .rs byte moved, the entire gate set — three suites, fmt, clippy, all 47 --exact records and the money-path trio — was re-run at 08c476c rather than carried over. Raw logs live in the seat folder, uncommitted, per the evidence-location ruling; reports/w-remit-r10/gates-summary-08c476c.md carries every result line with each log's bytes and sha256. Correction of round 7's report (addendum 9 §4.3): the previous body called the 2d802a3 core, CLI and money-path suites "green". At 2d802a3 the core and CLI suites passed; the money-path trio did not — 1423/2, 1422/3, 1423/2 (the disclosed out-of-diff flakes, money-path-ci-{1,2,3}-2d802a3.log in reports/w-remit-r7/), as the money-path section already stated. The "green" summary is withdrawn; the FAILED counts stand.

§5 statement — what moves money, under which flag, what the default does, what bounds it

• What moves money: exactly one function, maxplayer_core::fee_remit::remit (fee_remit.rs:946 → remit_inner :1045), and inside it exactly three effects on one trait — RemitEffects::prepare_melt / confirm_melt / cancel_melt (trait :348 / :356 / :360; live impl :453 / :475 / :487) — with one live call site for prepare (:1786), one for confirm (:1931) and three for cancel (:1811 post-swap arithmetic refused, :1864 fence lost, :1915 pay-time margin). The round-8 body counted two, omitting the arithmetic cancellation round 8 itself added (verdict at 4714623 N4 item 1); the census is of effects.cancel_melt( call sites in remit_inner: three, no other. The live impl goes to wallet_ops::prepare_melt_payment_blocking (wallet_ops.rs:1577; the allow_real_mints / mint_allowed gate :1590) → prepared_melt_thread (:1637, a dedicated OS thread that owns the wallet and the prepared melt until a verdict arrives): the quote's stored amount and reserve are checked against the ceiling (:1678, MeltExceedsCeiling :56), then the SDK's Wallet::prepare_melt runs — in the pinned CDK 0.17.2 source (cdk-0.17.2/src/wallet/melt/saga/mod.rs:286–460) that step posts no proof-bearing or fee-bearing request: it reserves the quote and the proofs in the wallet's own store (reserve_melt_quote, reserve_proofs, add_saga) and reads keysets through the SDK's metadata cache, which may GET the mint's keysets and info when the cache is unpopulated or past its TTL (keysets.rs:44–51 → mint_metadata_cache.rs:366: cache → database → load_from_mint); the round-8 body's "local only … nothing is posted to the mint" was false in that respect and is withdrawn (N4 item 2) — then the active keyset's input_fee_ppk is read (:1709, before the gate; a failed read cancels the preparation :1716 and refuses) and MeltCeiling::admits_confirmable (:479, called :1733; round 9 — it replaces admits_total) takes the bound on the SDK's prepared figures input_fee() / swap_fee() (melt/mod.rs:428–450) and on the post-swap recomputation of the input fee: any shortfall ⇒ PreparedMelt::cancel first (prepared.cancel() :1782; melt/mod.rs:673 → saga :817–831, best-effort local compensation: proofs back to Unspent, quote released) and then the typed refusal — MeltExceedsCeiling (:56; :1747), MeltWouldNotConfirm (:89; :1756) or MeltTotalExceedsCeiling (:73; :1771); under it ⇒ a PreparedMeltPayment (:606) whose confirm (:629) is PreparedMelt::confirm (melt/mod.rs:515 → confirm_prepared_melt_with_options :831–887) — the pre-melt swap (swap_no_reserve :687–697) and client.post_melt (:907–911) live there and nowhere else on this path — and whose cancel (:645) or drop (:676) reverts. The round-4–6 pay-by-id function pay_melt_quote_async (:1352; ceiling :1396; prepare_melt(&quote.id) → confirm() :1419 / :1427, preserved context from d30e690c) is retained with its tests and has no live caller at this head (pay_melt_quote_blocking :2256 is called by nothing outside tests). The operator's maxplayer wallet melt path (melt_async :1285 → melt_within_async :1304, which raises its own quote and keeps its invoice-plus-reserve check) is untouched in behaviour and out of scope (addendum 8 §6). No second payment implementation; the payer never raises a second quote for a row it holds.
• The money hold (addendum 3 §1; addendum 8 §1; addendum 9 §1): the seller never pays more than the fee it accrued — gross is the ceiling on everything that leaves the wallet: invoice + the mint's Lightning fee reserve + the actual proof input fee the SDK recomputes on the swapped proofs + the pre-melt swap fee — and a payment is admitted only when the SDK's own confirm arithmetic is shown to succeed before the fence and before any fee-bearing request. MeltCeiling { max_debit_sats: gross, invoice_sats, planned_quote_id } (wallet_ops.rs:454) carries admits (:468, invoice + reserve) in remit_inner right after the payment quote Q is raised (fee_remit.rs:1576) and again in the wallet thread before prepare_melt (wallet_ops.rs:1678), then admits_confirmable (:479; total_debit :507, saturating; round 9 — admits_total no longer exists) on the prepared melt's four parts and the post-swap recomputation. Step 1c, confirm_would_succeed (fee_remit.rs:2494, called at :1808): from the SDK's prepared figures and the active keyset's input_fee_ppk (read in the wallet thread before its gate, wallet_ops.rs:1709, via active_keyset_input_fee_ppk :1533; stored on MeltPreparation :582) it computes the post-swap target = invoice + reserve + prepared input fee, that target's binary denomination split, the actual input fee on that split (fee_for wallet_ops.rs:311 = ceil(ppk × count / 1000), the pinned crate's fees.rs:35–48; binary_split :318, post_swap_figures :331, confirm_bound :396 — the arithmetic lives in wallet_ops since round 9), and requires target ≥ invoice + reserve + actual fee and invoice + reserve + actual fee + swap fee ≤ gross — exactly what CDK's confirm checks after its swap (melt/saga/mod.rs:678 target, :704–712 recompute + InsufficientFunds). Either failing ⇒ the prepared melt is cancelled first (local, effects.cancel_melt fee_remit.rs:1811) and refuse_before_fence (:1546) runs: one printed line (:1559 — REFUSED before spending — {reason}; ceiling {gross} sats; nothing left the wallet; the row stays planned and the next attempt re-quotes.), attempt journaled Failed, and the row stays Planned — unbound, owner and lease intact, receipts pinned, nothing written to it; the next attempt's reconciliation releases it as its owner's earlier attempt and re-plans (addendum 10 §2; round 8 released it OwnPlanned and printed two lines — verdict at 4714623 §3.3). Nothing posted, no Spending row exists to hold. Spend order in remit_inner (:1045): quote → admits (:1576, reserve-only) → re-plan once when the live reserve differs from the estimate's (replan_remittance :1714, one Re-planned: line :1737; round 9, addendum 10 §1.4) → margin (:1763) → prepare + the wallet's admits_confirmable (:1786) → confirm_would_succeed (:1808) → after_quote (:1835) → fence (admit_remittance_spend :1843) → pay-time margin (:1910) → confirm (:1931); a fence or pay-time-margin refusal cancels the prepared melt first (:1864, :1915). Planning is fee-aware and confirmable (plan_confirmable_invoice :2455): it searches down from gross − reserve for the largest invoice for which the same two inequalities hold under the estimate quote's swap fee and ppk (gross 20, reserve 2, 1000 ppk, one 32-sat proof ⇒ invoice 13, paying at 19 — not 14, which the SDK would refuse after its swap); a gross for which no invoice fits is Refusal::FeesDoNotFit at planning (variant :560; raised :1285, :1367, :1383). Ceiling meaning unchanged — gross accrued-unremitted, every cost comes out of it (Josip's ruling; no rate change). What the mint's fee reserve bounds (N4 item 7 / N3, addendum 10 §3, landed in round-9 commit 2521a44): the reserve is the ceiling on the Lightning fee the mint may keep (NUT-05) and nothing else — the proof input fee and the swap fee are charged separately and bounded separately by the arithmetic above, and the SDK's inclusive fee_paid (Lightning + actual input fee) can exceed the reserve by that input fee. The source says so where round 8 called it a bound on the whole fee: wallet_ops.rs:292–295 (MeltOutcome::fee_reserve_sats), :528–531 (MeltEstimate); the PAID-reconciliation line prints Lightning fee at most {reserve} sats (the quote's reserve) and records the inclusive fee as not observed (fee_remit.rs:1117; fee = None, nothing manufactured); the plan line labels the reserve (bounds the Lightning fee) and each fee quantity apart (:1399, :1405); asserted by interrupted_after_the_plan_is_reconciled_as_paid_without_a_second_melt (:4091; record 44, new) and the plan-line assertions of records 28 and 30. The debit bound of every two-process test is at most one payment of the planned gross; the fee-bearing tests measure the wallet, not a counter (round-8 section below): (i) pool 32 → 15, delta 17 ≤ 20 with prepared input fee 4 ≠ actual 3 (record 28, :5176; the round-8 body said 2 here and 4 in its round-8 section — N4 item 3); (ii) prepared figures fit, post-swap arithmetic does not ⇒ refused before the fence, pool 32 unchanged, zero swaps, zero melts; planner case pool 32 → 13, delta 19 ≤ 20, one swap, one melt.
• Exclusion at admission (addendum 6 §1.1) — no time term: SellerStore::plan_remittance (store.rs:2101) refuses to plan while ANY remittance is in flight — planned or spending — inside its own IMMEDIATE transaction (PlanRefused::InFlight, :2122), and the partial unique index fee_remittances_one_planned ON (state) WHERE state = 'planned' (:1075) refuses underneath it. Neither predicate reads a clock. A second process therefore cannot even plan against a balance whose row is held; its --dry-run and --confirm both end in one HELD: line.
• The fence (addendum 4 §1, addendum 5 §1 rule 1): a planned row is paid only by the process that planned it, only after ONE conditional update, and only under the quote that update bound — SellerStore::admit_remittance_spend (store.rs:2206; the statement, :2180–2182): UPDATE fee_remittances SET spending_since_unix = :now, spending_quote_id = :q WHERE remittance_id = :id AND state = 'planned' AND spending_since_unix IS NULL AND owner = :me AND lease_until_unix > :now + :margin, one IMMEDIATE transaction, :now produced by a clock closure called inside the store call after the lock is held (fee_remit.rs:1843–1833). Zero rows changed ⇒ refuse: no spend, attempt journaled Refused (:1859–1869). One row changed ⇒ the row is Spending, bound to Q, and from there only the mint's PAID on Q resolves it.
• The hold (addendum 6 §1.2) — the change of this round: reconcile_decision (fee_remit.rs:788): PAID → settle, whatever the row (:802); then a spending row with a quote bound → Refusal::SpendingHeld, unconditionally (round 6, c7930c3; the hold :812, its comment :821–812): UNPAID however long past its expiry, FAILED, PENDING, UNKNOWN, or a quote this wallet does not know — held, all five as the SAME refusal, so all five render the same single HELD: line. Settling (:837, after the bound-spending hold) is now only a PLANNED row's (or a legacy unbound row's) PENDING/UNKNOWN hold. No clock, no margin, no TerminalBoundQuote release. The store's fence doc says the same since round-9 commit 2521a44 (store.rs:2199–2202: "Once admitted the row is HELD until the mint reports the bound quote PAID … no terminal-state release, no clock release"); at 4714623 that comment still said an admitted bound row is released when its quote goes terminal — addendum 5's withdrawn premise, in the added set although round 8 did not touch store.rs (N4 item 8). The refusal (fee_remit.rs:587, Display :665) is ONE line: HELD: remittance {id} is SPENDING (admitted by {owner} at unix {since}), bound to melt quote {q}; mint {url} reports melt quote {q} {STATE} (expiry unix {e}); {gross} sats of receipts stay pinned to it — a spending row is released by nobody and on no clock; it settles only when the mint reports that quote PAID; an operator decision, not a timeout, resolves it. The owner's own local refusal to pay a bound quote inside SPEND_MARGIN of expiry (:1910–1905) is attempt avoidance, not a safety bound (SPEND_MARGIN doc :246; the comment at :1904–1885); the row stays spending and held either way.
• Conditional releases (addendum 5 §1 rule 2) — for rows that never reached spending: every release goes through SellerStore::release_remittance(id, &ReleaseOn, now) (store.rs:2438), one UPDATE per reason in an IMMEDIATE transaction, each carrying its predicate (:2449–2474): TerminalUnboundSpending (a v12 row, no quote bound) — spending_since_unix IS NOT NULL AND spending_quote_id IS NULL; TerminalQuotePlanned — spending_since_unix IS NULL; LeaseExpired { now } — … IS NULL AND lease_until_unix <= :now; OwnPlanned { owner } — … IS NULL AND owner = :me. Zero rows changed ⇒ HOLD (Refusal::RowChangedUnderMe, fee_remit.rs:609, :1147). ReleaseOn::TerminalBoundQuote { quote_id } (store.rs:372, SQL :2449) still exists as the store's conditional transition with its store tests, but reconciliation no longer emits it (added-line census: TerminalBoundQuote 8, all in store.rs; fee_remit.rs 0) — kept, not called, named under "Out of scope" as a decision for the owners. fail_remittance: 0 in the tree. settle_remittance (:2355) unchanged. Lease expiry never touches a spending row.
• Who calls it (three callers, gate 2a): (1) the seller node's collect path after a receipt is journaled (run.rs:7210–7211 → :7239); (2) the retry tick, an arm of the run loop's select! (:4235 → :7316); (3) maxplayer seller fees remit --confirm (seller_fees.rs:418). Both automatic callers are unattended.
• What a held row does to the seller (addendum 6 §1.3, stated, not softened): while a bound spending row is held, every later remittance — collect path, retry tick, hand-run command — is refused — at two boundaries, and this body names which: the ordinary held-row run (collect, retry tick, hand-run command) returns from reconciliation, remit_inner step 1 (fee_remit.rs:1045 onward; the decision is reconcile_decision :788, whose bound-spending hold is :812), as Refusal::SpendingHeld, before it plans anything; behind that, the store's plan_remittance refuses a second plan with PlanRefused::InFlight (store.rs:2121–2122) inside its own transaction — the layer that closes the race when two runs both saw no row (gate 2c) and is exercised directly, on B's own connection while A is paused inside its payment, in the delayed-confirm test (round 6, ec56d0c). The balance accumulates unremitted behind the held row. maxplayer seller fees remit prints exactly one HELD: line and exits 3 (REFUSED, seller_fees.rs:38; exit_code_for :429) on --dry-run and on --confirm alike. A melt the mint has genuinely FAILED therefore freezes the seller's remittance until an operator acts — and this round adds no operator command to clear it (no override, per addendum 6 §1.3; the path is owed, below). We chose that cost over the alternative, which was a release rule that CDK 0.17.2 makes unsound (next section).
• Budget-gate posture (errata 1 — stated, not softened): the melt path sits outside the job-pay BudgetGate by a pre-existing, owner-pending decision (wallet_ops.rs:1183 send_async, :1316 melt_within_async, both pre-dating this PR); pay_melt_quote_async inherits it. This PR adds the first unattended caller of that path. Not wired this round. What bounds the path: the accrued-gross ceiling at spend time, the fence (one admission per row, one quote per admission), exclusion at admission (one row in flight, no time term), the hold (no release while a payment may still land), allow_real_mints / home::mint_allowed (fail-closed before the wallet is opened), and the auto_remit off switch.
• The default of the command is a dry run. Only --confirm pays (seller_fees.rs:110, :413; RemitTrigger::pays, fee_remit.rs:526).
• The off switch: [platform_fee] auto_remit = false disables both automatic paths (run.rs:4154–4166, :4235, :4260, :7240). It does not touch accrual, cannot change rate or destination, does not gate --confirm, does not forgive the fee.
• Destination: platform_fee::PLATFORM_FEE_ADDRESS = "maxplayer@agi.cash" (platform_fee.rs:68), one pub const, not seller-configurable.
• Amount: the whole unremitted balance, the mint's melt fee taken out of it. Below the destination's minSendable nothing is attempted.
• Constants unchanged: REMIT_LEASE 300 s (fee_remit.rs:237), SPEND_MARGIN 60 s (:246). Neither lengthened (addendum 6 §1.4).

Rounds 5–8 — B3 / D / G / H (addenda 6–7), B4 / H1–H4 / I (addendum 8), F1–F4 (addendum 9) — moved out of this body

The four sections (verdicts at 6fc77e1, 6fd13df, 19f30d3, da0ee92) stand verbatim, including their round-9 corrections (F3's withdrawal of "local only" — N4 item 2 — and F4's re-anchoring at 240240c), in rounds-5-8-sections.md (body lines 30–55 at 37b3615); the round-8 body as pinned is reports/w-remit-r8/body-pin-4714623.txt. They were moved, not cut, because GitHub caps a PR body at 65,536 characters and the round-9 body measured 90,260 (ruling 2026-09-08T18:32Z item 2). Everything those rounds established that still governs the money path is restated at 240240c in the §5 statement above (fence, quote binding, hold, CDK fee model, three cancel sites, prepare's true bound) and in the Round 9 section below.

Prior-finding ledger (round 8's rows): B/F1 fake admits SDK-impossible success → closed at 1a5c7c5 (records 32, 28, 37). G/F2 inclusive fee_paid double-counted → closed (record 38 + PAID print). H/F3 false recovery/cancel prose → closed as prose; the recovery path itself is owed, not built. H/F4 stale current-caller prose, body §196 / §10 → closed. Rounds 1–7 rows unchanged.

Round 9 — what discharges N1–N4 (verdict at 4714623, addendum 10)

Round 9's N1–N4 discharge, in full, is moved out of this body to keep it under GitHub's 65,536-byte cap: rounds-9-sections.md — verbatim, nothing rewritten. In one line each: N1/B one bound, the SDK's, taken at the confirm arithmetic (admits_total gone, census 0 added lines); N2/B a pre-fence arithmetic refusal writes nothing and prints one line; N3/G the reserve bounds the Lightning fee and the labels say so; N4/H the eight contradictions closed where each lived. Two corrections the verdict's §7.2 required are carried both there and here: record 39 pays fee_paid 5 (Lightning 2 + actual proof input 3; 13 + 5 + 1 = 19, the gross exactly — the round-9 body's "4" was inconsistent with its own delta of 19, re-read at fee_remit.rs:5454), and the round-7 "fitting" regressions stay recorded as failures rather than relabelled fixtures (see the round-7 paragraph below).

Round 10 — what addendum 11 discharges (verdict at 1ee5cb2; two executable heads, 31deed8 then 08c476c)

N1 / B — the gross probe is gone; the exact search alone decides (commit 1df95d8). Round 9 kept a cheap veto in front of the planner: reserve + expected fees ≥ gross ⇒ FeesDoNotFit, evaluated on the gross before any invoice was chosen. It refused grosses that a smaller invoice pays inside the same gross. That probe is deleted. What remains at planning is the reserve-only precheck (invoice + reserve against the hard ceiling) and then plan_confirmable_invoice's exact downward search, which is the only thing that may return FeesDoNotFit. Two witnesses, both required successes, both reading the wallet delta as the whole claim — record 45 (fee_remit.rs:5577): gross 3 = fees 2 + 1, reserve 0, 1000 ppk, one 32-sat proof; the probe expected popcount(4) = 1 + swap 1 = 2 and vetoed at reserve 1 (and at 2/0); the search instead takes invoice 1 — need 1 = [1], prepared 1, target 2 = [2], actual 1, worst case 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 = 3 ≤ 3 — and pays once: swap 32 → 2 (fee 1, change [16, 8, 4, 1] = 29), melt [2], Lightning 0, actual input 1, so fee_paid 1; the test asserts (net_sats, melt_fee_sats) == (1, 1) and the line “invoice amount (maxplayer@agi.cash receives): 1 sats”; pool 32 → 29, delta 3 = the gross exactly, never over, row Settled. Record 46 (:5685): gross 8 = fees 5 + 3, reserve 5 at estimate and at payment, ceiling 3; the search rejects invoice 3 (worst 11) and invoice 2 (worst 10) and takes invoice 1 — need 6 = [4, 2], prepared 2, target 8 = [8], actual 1, worst 1 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 8 ≤ 8; swap 32 → 8 (fee 1, change [16, 4, 2, 1] = 23), melt [8], the mint keeps the whole 5-sat reserve as its worst-case Lightning fee plus actual input 1 ⇒ fee_paid 6, melt change 1; asserts (1, 6), pool 32 → 24, delta 8 = the gross exactly. Neither witness widens the bound: both pay strictly inside the gross the seller already earned.

D / 2c — the racing loser is held, not silently dropped (commit 98272ba). Two ordered tests, no timing, no sleep. Record 47 (:4788, a_racer_that_starts_after_the_winners_fence_is_held_on_the_winners_bound_quote_and_the_winner_pays_once): after A crosses the fence, the row is asserted RemittanceState::Spending with remittance_id == "hash-13-2-a" and spending_quote_id == Some(X_PAYMENT_QUOTE) — B is then refused Refusal::SpendingHeld { quote_id: Some(X_PAYMENT_QUOTE), observed: "this wallet holds no such melt quote", held_sats: 15 }, and the whole operator line is asserted verbatim, including “15 sats of receipts stay pinned to it — a spending row is released by nobody and on no clock; it settles only when the mint reports that quote PAID; an operator decision, not a timeout, resolves it. REFUSED — nothing moved by this run”. B's side is asserted to have done nothing but look: b.quote_status_calls == 1 (“B asked its wallet about A's bound quote, once”), b.invoices.is_empty(), b.quotes.is_empty() && b.melts.is_empty(). Record 48 (:4903): started after A settled, B finds nothing unremitted — a.melts.len() == 1, B prints “Nothing to remit. REFUSED — nothing moved.”, there is no row in flight to reconcile, and rows.len() == 1 (“one row, A's”). Neither test is skipped or retried to pass: across the whole added set a6217328..08c476c the count of added #[ignore] and #[should_panic] attributes is 0.

H1 — one spend model at every site, comments and docs only (commit 31deed8). The verdict found the module doc, the error types and the quickstart each describing a different spend model. One model now: reserve-only precheck → optional re-plan once → prepare (which may GET mint metadata/keysets but posts nothing fee-bearing) → post-swap actual arithmetic → fence → confirm; a refusal before the fence leaves the row Planned, unbound and ours with its receipts pinned, and the bound is actual-vs-prepared. 31deed8 is 3 files, +84 / −52, and touches no code and no assertion. Its sixteen comment sites, each relocated by exact text match in the tree at 08c476c (not carried over from the commit's own line numbers): fee_remit.rs module doc :40–44, :46–52, :96–99, :121; MeltFailure :253–258; LiveEffects :462–466; the spend-order comment :1467–1468, :1470–1476, :1478–1486; the 1a re-plan note :1593–1595; the 1c refuse-before-fence note :1806–1807; the belt-behind-the-braces note :1980–1984; and the three stale test comments :5793–5795, :5893–5896, :6112–6113, :6140–6141. Plus store.rs:2274 (the replan_remittance doc: “smaller or larger, whatever fits at the live reserve”, replacing the old “smaller”) and docs/SELLER-QUICKSTART.md:1133–1146. All sixteen fee_remit.rs sites and all 14 added quickstart lines were located by matching their text in the head being reported, so every line number above is a line number at 08c476c; the four test-comment sites sit one line lower than in 31deed8 because the 08c476c fix removes a line above them.

Prior-finding ledger (round 9's rows): B/N1 fitting planner rejection and two-gate bound → closed at 240240c (records 39, 42, 43; re-plan records 40, 41). B/N2 pre-fence refusal deviated from ordered state/output → closed (records 37, 29, 14 on the Planned/one-line contract). G/N3 aggregate-fee labels → closed (record 44; source 2521a44). H/N4 eight body/source contradictions → closed in this body and 2521a44. Owed rows unchanged (recovery path, BudgetGate, force-release, pay_melt_quote_* / TerminalBoundQuote removal, rebase-or-merge) — "Out of scope" below.

Gate 1 — allow_real_mints defaults to true (home.rs:1546, #[serde(default = …)] at :1411), all 8 wallet entry points honour mint_allowed (wallet_ops.rs:1183 · 1243 · 1318 · 1363 · 1590 · 1875 · 1930 · 1969), and the paying command is --confirm-gated (seller_fees.rs:110, :413; pays() fee_remit.rs:526).

Gate 2a — the origin callers are the three fixed ones: the CLI at seller_fees.rs:418, and the seller node's two at run.rs:3321 / :3323; the rest of the hits are the remit_best_effort / remit_live_best_effort definitions (fee_remit.rs:2147 / :2170 / :2177) and test call sites. No fourth path and no startup path. Excluding the five #[cfg(test)] modules by brace depth (not by a single line threshold), the non-test spawn sites in run.rs are :303, :2093, :6051, :7264, :7327 — none of them a remit clock — and the only non-test remit lines mentioning a clock are :4153 / :4159 (the loop's own boot/backoff Sleep, re-armed through remit_pacing_cha…) and a doc comment at :7308.

Gates 2b–2g, E, v13, the CLI and the round-7/8/9/10 regressions — one --exact run per named test: all 47 recorded green, listed in the suites section above and in exact-summary-08c476c.txt.

Gate 3 — one destination. The literal maxplayer@agi.cash appears 46 times in crates/*.rs at 08c476c, and exactly one of them is outside a test module: platform_fee.rs:68, pub const PLATFORM_FEE_ADDRESS: &str = "maxplayer@agi.cash";. The only fee_address / platform_fee_address hit is a comment (platform_fee.rs:56) explaining why a seller-editable address is not offered. No second destination exists.

Gate 4 — the spend edge. In fee_remit.rs the effect call sites are effects.prepare_melt( once (:1786), effects.cancel_melt( three times (:1811 post-swap arithmetic refused, :1864 fence lost, :1915 pay-time margin) and effects.confirm_melt( once (:1931) — the same three-cancel shape round 8 undercounted as two, now re-counted at this head. wallet_ops.rs over the whole delivery: +1,640 / −30.

fmt / clippy — the WHOLE delivery a6217328..08c476c, additions counted, and how each number was got

Added set re-measured at 08c476c (not carried from round 9): git diff --numstat a6217328..08c476c -- '*.rs' = 10 files, +16,409 / −278; with docs/SELLER-QUICKSTART.md, 11 files, +16,558 / −293; hunks git diff -U0 … | grep -c '^@@' = 176.

$ cargo fmt --all -- --check          exit=1   fmt-08c476c.log 1,460,668 B 113fc75998aac188
  2,087 blocks total; 4 overlap our hunks, 3 start on an added line;
  LINES WE ADDED THAT RUSTFMT WOULD REWRITE: 0        (2,083 blocks are outside the delivery)
$ cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --features wallet   exit=0   clippy-08c476c.log 76,998 B dc03c3c579b6f92c
  125 diagnostics total;  INSIDE the added lines: 0   (125 outside)

The four overlapping fmt blocks are the same four as at 31deed8, with the same blame, and none of them is a line this branch added: home.rs:1445 (the rewritten line is orveth's ff3918e4) and lib.rs:47 / :55 / :68 (pre-existing pub mod lines, blame db63eb96 / b741eaf3 / 7d80595a, orveth). Clippy INSIDE fell 1 → 0 between the two executable heads: 08c476c is exactly the fix for the one diagnostic 31deed8 carried (fee_remit.rs:5642, clippy::identity_op on record 45's assert literal), and the total moved 126 → 125 — one diagnostic, nothing else.

Known defects — named, not fixed; plus three from round 9 now discharged (ruling 2026-09-08T18:32Z item 3)

Discharged this round by 31deed8 (comments and docs only — no code, no assertion): all three round-9 stale test comments. Each said the refused row was released (“Planned → Failed, receipts back”) where the test asserts it stays Planned. At 08c476c the phrase released (Planned → Failed, receipts back) occurs 0 times in fee_remit.rs, and the three comments now read “the row NOT written (stays Planned, unbound, receipts pinned; the next attempt's reconciliation releases it — addendum 10 §2)”: above a_fee_bearing_schedule_whose_prepared_figures_fit_but_post_swap_arithmetic_does_not_is_refused_before_the_fence (fee_remit.rs:5798), above a_fee_bearing_total_that_exceeds_the_gross_by_the_fee_is_refused_before_any_swap_or_melt (:5899) and inside a_reserve_that_grows_between_estimate_and_payment_is_refused_before_spending (:6116). I also checked the one remaining “planned → failed, receipts back” in the file (:6202): it is accurate — it describes reconciling this process's own earlier attempt, which is exactly what that path does — so it is not a fourth instance.

Still open, named not fixed (a .rs change would move the executable head again and force a third full gate re-run):

• The “exactly one refusal line” assertion counts phrase occurrences, not lines: out.matches("REFUSED before spending").count() == 1 at fee_remit.rs:3638, :5851 and :5945 (the verdict at 4714623 criticised this form). It is sound at 08c476c only because the format string at :1559 is one line with no embedded newline and the {reason} text carries none; an out.lines()-based assertion is owed, not written.
• The money-path suite carries a foreign flake: credential_proxy::tests::a_declared_over_cap_body_is_refused_before_the_upstream_sees_it panics on a reqwest ConnectionReset (os 54) at credential_proxy.rs:3520 while writing a body to its own loopback stub — reproduced 3 runs out of 3 at this head (ephemeral ports 62173 / 62805 / 63481). It is not this branch's code, no fee, remit, melt or wallet frame appears on its stack, and all 44 fee_remit tests passed in every one of those runs. Named here rather than fixed or silenced: it is not mine, and touching it would move the executable head.
• Owed from earlier rounds, still owed: the operator recovery path for a held spending row, a force-release with its own authority check, and the BudgetGate the addendum contemplates. None of the three is written; none is claimed.

    ports 62173 (run 1) / 62805 (run 2) / 63481 (run 3) — the test's own loopback stub

One failure per run, the same one, three times, and it is not on the money path: the test resets its own loopback connection while writing a body to its own stub; no fee, remit, melt or wallet code appears on that stack. 44 named fee_remit tests ran in each of the three runs and all 44 are inside the 1,434 passed — no fee or remit test failed in any run.

CI — PASS at the published head c53705a1: run 34295509051, seven jobs green; the earlier integration block preserved below as history

Current state. c53705a192ec4f8dac19ad1177e03561ba518929 was published to feat/seller-fee-remit at 2026-09-09T00:33:16Z, the conflict with main was gone with it, and GitHub created the run that could not exist before: 34295509051 — pull_request, .github/workflows/ci.yml, 00:33:20Z → 00:47:05Z, completed / success, run and all seven job records bound to head c53705a1. PR state at the same read: open, draft: false, mergeable: true, mergeable_state: clean, base d55ceaf.

CI at the final head a0aafe8cd5996abe68cf22c7423fa0940e7efaac — the reports/ removal. Run 34298627586, pull_request, completed / success, bound to that head, with all seven jobs green — the same seven as below (ids 102300586400, 102300586464, 102300586514, 102300586523, 102300586525, 102300586560, 102300586573).

So both heads of this delivery are CI-green: the reviewed executable head c53705a1 (run 34295509051) and the final head that only deletes reports/.

What those jobs actually check out, stated exactly. Every job log fetches the synthetic merge 9b639fe6cde7df620227160c9062e0d5a58e62b2, not c53705a1, as runner HEAD. Its parents are base d55ceaf and head c53705a1, and its tree b09af0f44c8d8d67ebfbdb1939909051184077a9 equals the tree of the local immutable c53705a1 — so this is valid published coverage of the reviewed tree. The PR's merge_commit_sha is that same synthetic merge; it is not evidence of a completed merge, and this PR is not merged. The eighth check on the head is Vercel Preview Comments, not a CI job.

Local gates at the two frozen heads, failures included. At the integration head d56cc163 all 47 --exact records passed and the suites carried over clean, but the money-path trio failed three times — exit=101, 1497 passed; 1 failed, each on the same over-cap credential_proxy test, which reset its own loopback connection while writing a 32 MiB body against a refusal the proxy had already sent. Those three failures stand as failures. The repair commit c53705a1 changed only that test's transport (1 file, +57 / −17, all inside one test fn; no runtime, no cap, no fee code): declare content-length: MAX_REQUEST_BODY_BYTES + 1, send zero body bytes, read the status line under a 10 s timeout, assert HTTP/1.1 413, and prove no upstream contact by an accept() that must find nothing waiting. At c53705a1: the changed test, both adjacent cap tests and the whole credential_proxy module (62 passed / 0 failed) green; all 47 --exact records ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; and the money-path trio exit=0, 1498 passed; 0 failed; 2 ignored three times (148.74s / 150.59s / 145.49s — 1497 + 1 = 1498, the one test that was failing). Every log carries HEAD and git status --porcelain at top and bottom; they live in the seat folder, uncommitted, per the evidence-location ruling.

Historical — the integration block, 2026-09-08T20:36Z to 2026-09-09T00:33Z. For that window there was no CI run at 08c476c or any head after it. Not a queue, not a skip, not a path filter: GitHub builds a pull_request run against refs/pull/979/merge, and when that merge ref cannot be computed it creates no run at all. The PR went mergeable: CONFLICTING when main moved to d55ceaf at 20:35:58Z, two minutes after the last run started.

    seller_node/run.rs and docs/SELLER-QUICKSTART.md all auto-merge

Per maxie's ruling of 2026-09-08 (979-r10-integration-ci-ruling-20260908.md, 1,621 B, mode 0444, sha256 a99f2572…eebb2d, read whole and digested by me) those absent runs were BLOCKED — INTEGRATION: not green, not failed, not a feature DENY on their own. That block is now cleared by measurement, not by waiver — the rebase resolved the conflict, the leased publication produced run 34295509051, and it passed. Nothing here waives a CI requirement, and publication is not merge approval: merge remains a human act.

Real failures, named as failures, never folded into the conflict story: run 34273382506 at 1df95d8 failed — 6 of 7 jobs green, the Test the full shipped feature combo (acp + wallet) job (102220345699) reporting FAILED. 1560 passed; 1 failed; 3 ignored on seller_node::run::tests::an_accept_naming_another_seats_claim_never_binds_the_loser, orveth's seat-claim test, not this branch's code; the same job flaked at 68fa0eb (run 34265888505) on the r9 race test that this round's §2 work fixed. Run 34275523983 at 31deed8 was success on all 7 jobs, including Money-path tests and the acp+wallet job.

Report-inclusive total at the reports head: git diff --stat a6217328..HEAD | tail -1 = 197 files changed, 260,376 insertions(+), 293 deletions(−) — the difference from the product figures above is this round's evidence and report files.

Evidence files — removed from the branch at the final head, preserved externally against a verified manifest

reports/ is no longer in the merged tree. These 196 files are agent working notes — round plans, gate logs, evidence tables — not product, and the owner asked for them out before merge. The removal is the final head's only content: 196 files changed, 244,648 deletions(-), git diff --name-status c53705a1..a0aafe8 is 196 D and nothing else, and every root tree entry other than reports has the same object id at both heads, so no product file moved by a byte.

Preserved before removal, and proved before it rather than after. All 196 blobs were extracted with git archive c53705a1 reports; each file's sha256 was then checked against git cat-file blob <oid> at that head and its size against git ls-tree -l — 196/196 identical, 0 mismatches, 13,125,086 bytes — at /Users/forge/forge/v2/worker/reports-archive/979-c53705a1/tree/ with MANIFEST.json (52,812 B, sha256 208929d5fd359e0ad03bf7eb9ccfced0b6e4a6ff35cd0bceb91993afae8dc050; per file: path, bytes, sha256, mode, blob oid, verified flag) and SHA256SUMS.txt (22,477 B, sha256 4c8ba34a28fa5a38d76f5a07898d0c7356d8af60fee0ec4c6a7a39caee343484). Every file this body names — the round-10 gate summaries and transcripts, and round 9's own reports/w-remit-r9/ set — is in that archive under its original path, at the hash recorded there.

The permalinks in this body still open, because they point at pre-rebase commits whose objects the fork retains (checked 2026-09-09); but an unreachable object is a courtesy, not a guarantee, so the external manifest is the durable copy and the digests above are what a grader should check against.

Not committed, and deliberately so (evidence-location ruling, sha b0b39e5e…cd39599): the 58 raw gate logs live at /Users/forge/forge/v2/worker/reports/w-remit-r10/logs-b/, outside the product repo. Each was copied only after its done line appeared in the runner's progress.txt and verified with cmp against the runner's own copy; a final pass after ALL DONE re-cmp'd all 58 with 0 mismatches, beside manifest SHA256SUMS-b.txt and ledger EVIDENCE-LEDGER.md. Every log's sha256 is in gates-summary-08c476c.md.

Round 9's table, corrected: evidence-table.txt goes from 69 rows to 68 — the 0-byte exec2-runner.out row is dropped, because a row with no committed blob is not evidence (verdict §7.2).

Disclosures

• ec56d0c carries the wrong author/committer NAME (w-ecash-mutual-credit; email unchanged). Measured cause: the shared checkout's .git/config default (user.name = w-ecash-mutual-credit since 2026-09-05T03:07:27Z) plus one commit made without git -c; round 6's "switched by another worker between my commits" was not measured and is withdrawn. Not amended (append-only); every later commit sets the identity explicitly.
• The executable head moved once inside round 7 (2d802a3 → 24ba082, five clippy diagnostics), once inside round 8 (b1c702a → 1a5c7c5, one clippy diagnostic and nine rustfmt blocks on round-8 lines; +fmt only, one constant assertion computed from the fake's pool instead) and once inside round 9 (2521a44 → 240240c, rustfmt on eleven round-9 test hunks and one clippy identity_op in a test message; no behaviour change). Every gate was re-run at the head it is reported for; the earlier logs stay in reports/.
• The fake's fee model is read from the pinned CDK 0.17.2 source, not measured on any mint. On confirm it now does what the SDK does — swap to the target's split, charge the swap fee even when the melt then fails, recompute the actual input fee on the received split, refuse after the swap when it does not cover invoice + reserve + actual fee, and return fee_paid inclusive of the actual input fee — and the self-check test pins that model. It still uses a binary denomination split for a power-of-two keyset and the active keyset's single input_fee_ppk; a mint with several fee-bearing keysets or a non-power-of-two keyset is not modelled. §1.5 bound (disclosed, not solved): the fee metadata can change between prepare and confirm and the SDK takes no caller maximum; in that window CDK's post-swap refusal fires after the fence and the bound-Spending hold covers it.
• pay_melt_quote_async / pay_melt_quote_blocking (rounds 4–6's pay-by-id path) remain in wallet_ops with their tests and have no live caller at this head. Removal is a decision for the owners; the code is retained so the graded rounds' path is still readable.
• Round 7's two "fitting" regressions were false successes (verdict at da0ee92): the fake let invoice 12 (reserve 0, ppk 1000, pool [32]) and invoice 14 pay where CDK refuses after its swap. Neither historical failure was relabelled into a passing fixture: they stay recorded as failures in the round-7 verdict record. What the suite carries now is different material (verdict §7.2 H3, re-read at 08c476c). Record 37 (fee_remit.rs:5176) is a new drift fixture — reserve 3 at estimate and at payment, unchanged, with the prepared input fee overridden to 0 — not the old reserve 3 → 0 inputs; it is refused before the fence. The old reserve-shrink schedule is carried instead as a required success, record 40 (:5318, a_reserve_that_shrinks_between_estimate_and_payment_is_re_planned_once_and_pays_invoice_15): plan 12 → re-plan 15, paid once. Record 30 restores the other round-7 case as invoice 13. No expectation was changed to accept a swap loss on a failed melt.
• Money-path run 2 at 240240c failed on the disclosed out-of-diff credential_proxy loopback flake (1430/1; runs 1 and 3 1431/0), as did round 8's runs 2 and 3 at 1a5c7c5 (1424/3, with the job_lifecycle live-mint pair), round 7's run 3 and the 2d802a3 trio (2/3/2 — never green; round 7's body said "green" once in its heads paragraph, withdrawn above); the first-attempt core lib run at 2521a44 hit the same flake once (1426/1), the re-run at 240240c did not. Reported as FAILED counts, never as green.
• Recovery of a proof reservation left behind by a failed local cancel is OWED, not built (addendum 9 §3.1): recover_incomplete_sagas is not wired on the remittance path this round, by instruction; the prose says so. Owed too: operator force-release / human approval of a held row; owed-vs-held accounting; removal of pay_melt_quote_* and TerminalBoundQuote.
• Rebase and publication (2026-09-09), superseding this body's earlier "no rebase, no force-push" claim. Append-only held through d17fd33. Then, under maxie's integration order and the owner's publication order, the delivery was replayed onto main at d55ceaf (140 commits, 0 merges) and published to feat/seller-fee-remit with one --force-with-lease=refs/heads/feat/seller-fee-remit:d17fd33ee1e187fdfec6c7a6cc8581c812bb356b, + d17fd33...c53705a (forced update), exit 0 (publish-push-c53705a1.log, 585 B). No unconditional force, no merge, no tag, no push to main, no new PR. The sole conflict, crates/maxplayer/src/sell.rs (the sell_usage help string, in two commits, same region), was resolved keeping both sides; git diff --numstat is identical across all 207 files before and after the rebase, the whole pre/post difference being 46 @@ hunk offsets plus the 6 resolution lines.
• The money-path trio FAILED three times at the frozen integration head d56cc163 (exit=101, 1497 passed; 1 failed, the same over-cap credential_proxy test each time). Reported as failures, never waived, never retried to green; the transport-only repair at c53705a1 and the 1498/0/2 trio after it are in the CI section. A negative control — the assertion mutated to expect 200 — failed printing the real HTTP/1.1 413 Payload Too Large, then was reverted to a byte-identical file, so the pass is not vacuous. Round 8's reports/w-remit-r8/ is committed (036302b, 4714623); rounds 4–7's reports/ directories stay untracked in the worktree.

Out of scope, named not done (addendum 9 §7)

BudgetGate wiring (owner decision, errata 1). The operator melt path — maxplayer wallet melt, melt_within_* — keeps its reserve-only ceiling (invoice + reserve, no proof-fee bound, no confirmability check) and is not touched. The automatic threshold sweep, the signed platform parameter, any rate change, owed-vs-held accounting, an operator force-release / human-approval path for a held row, legacy unbound rows, removal of pay_melt_quote_* and TerminalBoundQuote (owners' call), wiring recover_incomplete_sagas (a supported recovery path for a stranded local reservation — owed), repo-wide lint debt (125 clippy diagnostics and 2,106 rustfmt blocks on pre-existing lines), the three out-of-diff flakes, and rebase-or-merge as main moves. Named as owed; none built.
