# Final-source real server evidence for issue 23712

PR [#23904](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/23904). Runtime source: [75aef714186dc24e893a63545caf054dbb549eb7](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/commit/75aef714186dc24e893a63545caf054dbb549eb7). Observed live PR head (unchanged throughout both scenarios): [c762335dc05f81604242cb063d96b13c06884d58](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/commit/c762335dc05f81604242cb063d96b13c06884d58). These are distinct SHAs: the requested local runtime source was not updated to the newer remote PR head.

2026-10-23 UTC. Real server, reactor, orchestrator, effect worker, SQLite event log and message projections. Browser authenticated through the dev pairing flow and sent JSON RPC WebSocket requests with orchestrationProtocol=2. No evaluator-only runtime script. Server-only matrix empty; no visual capture. No forge writes, push, commits, or app PR watcher subscription for this evidence thread. Local isolated fixture watches were explicitly stopped.

## Commands and instrumentation

Working directory `/home/ubuntu/wt/issue-23712`. Read `AGENTS.md`, `.agents/skills/test-t3-app/SKILL.md`, its SQLite reference, and ghdrop skill. Checked `git status --short`, `git rev-parse HEAD`, and `git remote get-url origin` (GitCafe). No forge CLI was used.

Ran `T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev > /tmp/issue-23712-dev-private.log 2>&1`, then twice `T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev >> /tmp/issue-23712-dev-private.log 2>&1`. Ports 14667 server / 6627 web; baseDir `/home/ubuntu/wt/issue-23712/.t3`. Retained terminal sessions 80815, 61443, 63675; each stopped using Ctrl-C through write_stdin, exit 130. Reactor PIDs in rows independently prove restarts. No live-state writes or database fixture writes. SQLite collected with `sqlite3.connect("file:.../.t3/userdata/statev2.sqlite?mode=ro", uri=True)`.

Temporary patch is included verbatim separately. PullRequestService imported readFileSync, forced summary/detail state open, and replaced only detail checks with `/tmp/issue-23712-checks.json`. Other detail metadata and head came from real read-only host reads. Reactor imported appendFileSync, accelerated SWEEP_MINUTES 2 -> 0.05, passed [] for remarks to exclude unrelated comment events, and logged actual evaluations immediately after evaluatePullRequestWatch. No evaluator modifications. No changes to caching/read planning.

Browser used `new WebSocket(location.origin.replace("http","ws")+"/ws?orchestrationProtocol=2")`; requests were `{_tag:"Request",id:crypto.randomUUID(),tag,payload,headers:[]}`. Created project using `projects.mutate` with `{type:"project.create", commandId:<uuid>, projectId:"issue23712-proof-project", title:"issue23712 runtime proof", workspaceRoot:"/home/ubuntu/wt/issue-23712"}`. For each scenario, sent `orchestration.dispatchCommand` `thread.create` with its threadId, same projectId, modelSelection `{instanceId:"codex",model:"triage-no-provider"}`, runtimeMode `full-access`, interactionMode `default`, branch/worktreePath null, createdBy user, creationSource web. Then `thread.pull-request.watch` with commandId uuid, same threadId, host github.com, repository pingdotgg/t3code, number 23904, watching true, link `{url:"https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/23904",source:"agent"}`. Teardown sent same watch command with watching false, no link. This is local fixture orchestration, not a monitor registered on the current evidence thread.

Initial checks JSON: `[{"name":"required","status":"success","required":true,"description":null,"url":null},{"name":"remaining","status":"pending","required":false,"description":null,"url":null}]`. Waited for persisted early message before mutating the file. Original final changed only remaining.status to success. Policy final changed remaining.status to success and remaining.required to true. Same check names/head/watch start retained within each scenario. Restarted with unchanged final JSON and isolated state for each repeat.

Focused test command from apps/server: `vp test run src/orchestration-v2/pullRequestWatch.test.ts > /tmp/issue-23712-finalhead-green.log 2>&1` -> 17 passed. Existing `/tmp/issue-23712-bot-red.log` retained as supplied historical red evidence, not rerun or attributed to a newly verified baseline SHA.

## Gaps and FRICTION
- Remote PR metadata already reported c762335dc05f81604242cb063d96b13c06884d58, not the specified local source SHA. This proves source 75aef714186dc24e893a63545caf054dbb549eb7 against a constant live metadata head; it does not claim the remote PR still points at 75aef714.
- First attempt incorrectly used instanceId triage-no-provider as well as that model. Missing-adapter dispatch prevented persistence. Stopped that fixture watch; raw JSONL retains its failed evaluations under triage-23712-final-original. Successful assertions use only original-v2 and policy. No failed-attempt rows are represented as delivered proof.
- Initial Browser raw WebSocket omitted orchestrationProtocol=2 and failed; adding it connected. An initial projects.list request was unknown; projects.mutate succeeded. Restart invalidated browser session credentials, so each subsequent Browser connection used a fresh startup pairing link. Startup tokens are redacted from published server logs.
- Invalid model prevents successful model work, but the real provider app-server does start and receives thread/start and turn/start. All four persisted runs failed; there were no successful agent turns or assistant messages. This is not a claim that no provider subprocess was launched. Fixture Codex session files may be created outside .t3 by the provider itself; T3 server state remained isolated in .t3.
- Controlled check fixture, forced-open state, excluded remarks, accelerated sweep. Does not test live CI timing/check discovery, comment behavior, production sweep latency, web/desktop/mobile presentation, or source at the newer remote SHA. No fresh baseline runtime required: supplied baseline remains comparison proof. Red log provenance beyond the existing file is not re-established.
- After all captures, both local watches disabled; final policy disable RPC returned sequence 112. All three dev sessions stopped. Both source files restored byte-for-byte from pre-run copies; git status --short empty, HEAD unchanged. ss on ports 14667 and 6627 empty. No commits or pushes.
