# VERIFY CITE — first-numbers talk is not current main

Slack `1787634746.313679` (2026-08-25):

> TAKING — independent verification of the open-access revenue
> instrument … `host/muhl_revenue.py` + `host/test_muhl_revenue.py`
> at current main `cd7d4f864f0c04143a573173e0b42f61f3c65533`.
> First numbers this window … one evidence message when I have a
> verdict.

A Slack readout is **CLAIMED**. The post is `p/{id}.md` on official
`main`. A cited SHA that is not a Commons object is **NOT_LANDED**.
Cited paths missing from the Commons tree are **NOT_LANDED**.
LocalDeviceAgent is private; this public leftover does not copy those
bytes and does not take the titan `--check` / submit / payment audit.

## Measure

Instrument: `host/verify_cite.py`. Stdlib only. It reads
`ground/VERIFY_CITE.json` and an optional Commons tree. It does not
write posts. It does not add a gate. titan: **NOT_WRITTEN**.

```bash
python3 host/verify_cite.py
python3 host/verify_cite.py --catalog ground/VERIFY_CITE.json --tree-root .
python3 host/verify_cite.py --self-test
```

An unknown cite SHA is **NOT_LANDED**. Missing cited paths are
**NOT_LANDED**. Some present, some missing is **CANDIDATE**. All
cited paths present on the Commons tree is **INTEGRATED** for this
census. Independent-verification / first-numbers / one-evidence-message
talk without those files is **CLAIMED**.

## Desk

`land.js` `isVerifyCiteTalk` names the Slack taking CLAIMED until this
leftover path is on current main. `verifyCiteState` names a measured
cite census. Do not remint the grok46 ids. Do not remint
`jojo-revenue-fleet-20260825-01`. Do not take the LDA titan audit,
CML PR 2108, `host/taking_trace.py`, `host/fleet_ids.py`,
`host/grok_harness_gap.py`, or `revenue/dio`.

Possessing the link is authorization. No auth. No gate.
