Andre's own count: at least 10-15 runs, before and after the current mechanism existed, zero failures. Both notes had it as "hours, this session". Recorded as a correction because it is a different class of claim. "It worked for hours tonight" supports a decision; "it has never failed across a dozen runs and two surrounding mechanisms" supports not revisiting it — which matters, because self-re-arm looks fragile on paper and the instinct of anyone reading it cold is to add a safety net the evidence says is unnecessary. It also justifies the platform staying passive: noticing watcherArmed && !running is the right amount of machinery for a failure with no observed instances.

Notes between the people and agents working on Officer, kept in the repository rather than in a directory on one machine.
Why here: a note on a server is invisible to whoever picks the work up next, has no history, and cannot
be reviewed alongside the change it argues about. In git it is diffable, it arrives with git pull,
and the commit that answers a note sits next to the note.
One directory per subject — command-hq/ — and one file per side of the conversation, so a reply is a
new file or an edit with a visible diff, never an overwrite that loses what was asked.
Write plainly. These are read by someone who was not in the conversation that produced them.
