Nightly Dream Cycle, 2026-10-06. DEEP=ledger-signals, SCAN=witness,verify. Full report: docs/dream-cycle/2026-10-06-ledger-signals-report.md. Issue: #153.

Hypothesis (frozen before implementation)

Given a 14-row window where exactly the last 3 rows have evaluated: 'blocked' and the rest do not (blocked rows a strict minority), the pre-fix implementation returns blockedEvalStreak: true (false positive, since 3/14 is not "majority of the window blocked" as the field's own code comment requires alongside last-3-consecutive); the fix adds the missing majority conjunct so the same input returns false, while an all-blocked window (existing passing test) and a genuine-majority window continue to return true.

Candidate

packages/ledger/src/index.ts (+11/−1): learningSignals()'s blockedEvalStreak gains a blockedCount tally and a blockedCount * 2 > recent.length (strict-majority) conjunct, in addition to the existing last-3-consecutive-blocked check — implementing exactly what the line's own pre-existing doc comment already promised. packages/ledger/src/index.test.ts (+27): 3 new tests (minority-tail false positive fixed; genuine majority still true; exact 50/50 split stays false). One conceptual change.

Evaluation Receipt

Real evaluator: npm test (vitest run && npm run test:governance).

	Baseline (main@23a5770)	Candidate
vitest	769	772 (+3 new, 0 regressions)
governance (node --test scripts/*.test.mjs)	150/150	150/150 unchanged
npm run lint	clean	clean
npm run typecheck	clean	clean
npm run build (8 packages)	clean	clean

Governance is 150/150 clean on both sides this session — this session's checkout started shallow (3/150 failing on scripts/benchmark-ticket-codec.mjs's pinned BASELINE_COMMIT git-show oracle, absent from the shallow clone) and was unshallowed (git fetch --unshallow) before measuring either side. That exact shallow-clone defect is already an open, independent finding this rotation did not select tonight (PR #150, security-adversarial, 2026-10-03) — not duplicated here.

Live pre/post-fix repro against the built packages/ledger/dist/index.js:

• Pre-fix: 11 yes + 3 blocked (tail) in a 14-row window → blockedEvalStreak: true (false positive, 3/14 ≈ 21%).
• Post-fix: identical input → false.
• Post-fix, genuine majority: 6 yes + 8 blocked (tail) in a 14-row window → true (unchanged — majority case was never broken).
• Real committed LEDGER.md: blockedEvalStreak: false identically before and after — this bug is latent on main (never yet triggered there); the fix forecloses the next time OPENROUTER_API_KEY is briefly absent for 3 consecutive nights.

Baseline

Parent commit 23a577082aad39750051dc7ef0ec9d0d72900adf (main, HEAD at session start), rebuilt clean (npm ci && npm run build), 769/769 vitest + 150/150 governance.

Darwin Lineage

DARWIN=not-applicable — single boolean-expression fix, no evolvable population (same judgment as PRs #116/#127/#132/#137/#145 on this surface). Entrypoint probed live tonight: npx --yes @metaharness/darwin --version responds with its usage banner (reachable, not blocked).

Evidence

OBSERVATION (the field's own doc comment names two conjuncts; the implementation computed only one) → MEASUREMENT (live pre-fix repro: 3/14 minority-blocked tail reads true) → OBSERVATION (Resilience4j/Hystrix circuit-breaker docs confirm count-alone vs. rate-over-window is a known false-positive class in comparable "sustained failure" signal designs) → MEASUREMENT (769→772 vitest, 0 regressions; governance 150/150 unchanged) → MEASUREMENT (live post-fix repro: minority false, majority still true, real ledger unchanged) → INFERENCE (independent critic subagent, separate context, own build/stash cycle) → DECISION (ACCEPT).

Reward-Hack Check

Independent adversarial-critic subagent (separate context, own commands, own git stash/rebuild cycle): CLEAR.

• Confirmed the diff touches only packages/ledger/src/index.ts (+11/−1) and its test file (+27/−0, pure addition) — no gold data, evaluator, or CI config touched.
• Independently rebuilt and ran the suite before/after via its own git stash: 769→772 (exactly +3, matching the 3 new tests; no existing test deleted, weakened, or had an assertion loosened).
• Wrote its own throwaway probe (independent of this candidate's tests) and tried 6 edge cases by hand: exact-half (50/50) correctly false; 8/14 majority correctly true; majority concentrated at the window head with a healthy tail correctly false (last-3-contiguous requirement still enforced); below-minimum window (n=2) correctly false; degenerate n=3 all-blocked correctly true; non-default window option correctly rescales the majority base rather than hardcoding 14. No counter-example found.
• Repo-wide grep for blockedEvalStreak: the only other reference (packages/cli/src/tui.ts:206) merely prints a warning string when true — no gating/CI/evaluator logic anywhere depends on the old (broken) last-3-only semantics.
• Residual non-blocking note from the critic: no test exercises a non-default window option through learningSignals itself end-to-end (only through its own ad hoc probe) — a minor coverage gap, not a defect, left for a future night.

No gold data, threshold, or benchmark corpus touched; no undocumented cache; no hidden cost (same asymptotic cost — one extra O(n) filter over an already-sliced window).

Security Review

No credential, network, or trust-boundary surface added or changed. Pure local arithmetic/boolean logic over already-parsed in-memory rows. No LLM calls in this path (OPENROUTER_API_KEY present this session, correctly unused).

Regression Analysis

0 pre-existing tests modified or removed (confirmed independently by the critic via raw diff). 3 new vitest tests added. Lint/typecheck/build clean across all 8 packages — no wasm/NAPI degradation to record tonight.

ADR

None — a correctness bug fix aligning an existing field's implementation with its own pre-existing doc comment, not a new architectural decision.

Gist

GIST=LOCAL — no gh CLI (GH_TOKEN invalid) and no gist-creation MCP tool this session; GitHub MCP access itself works fine (issue/PR tools succeed), so FALLBACK=false. Full report committed at docs/dream-cycle/2026-10-06-ledger-signals-report.md.

dependency-audit (CI) failed on commits 21a2cf3/4c99573 — not this PR's defect. Root-caused and fixed:

Not this PR's: dependency-audit runs npm audit --audit-level=high against the full dev-inclusive dependency graph, unrelated to anything this diff touches. Reproduced identically against a fresh clone of main itself today: a new high-severity advisory, source-map-js GHSA-68fv-2mgg-jv7q (event-loop DoS via indexed source-map section offsets), was published to the npm advisory database sometime after main's last green CI run (2026-09-30, commit 23a5770). source-map-js is a transitive devDependency only (vite→postcss, @vitest/coverage-v8→magicast), no production reachability.

Fix ported, pushed: npm audit fix resolves it with a non-breaking, lockfile-only bump (fixAvailable: true, no --force/major bump needed) — commit 330df89. npm audit --audit-level=high → found 0 vulnerabilities locally; full suite re-validated (772/772 vitest, 150/150 governance, lint/typecheck clean). This will no-op harmlessly once main also picks up the same fix.

No fix PR for this advisory existed yet (checked via search_pull_requests), so this isn't a duplicate — tracking it here rather than opening a separate PR since it's a one-line lockfile bump riding this PR's next push.

Dream Cycle consolidation — 2026-10-25

MODE=CONSOLIDATE (STEP 1.5, ADR-0011): 20 open dream/* candidate PRs tonight, well over implementationTrack.reviewBacklogLimit=6. The three nearer-the-front eligible drafts — #145, #148, #150 — each already carry a dream-consolidate marker for today's exact default-branch SHA (3fc3222d2e5566a203331d3686c4d2eaf06713a8) from the three preceding nights; main has not moved since 2026-10-19 (#196), so there is no new SHA for them to re-consolidate against. This PR was the next-oldest still-eligible draft (still draft, ACCEPT in its own Evaluation Receipt, not a routine-self-review PR) carrying no prior consolidate marker.

Action. Merged main (3fc3222d2e5566a203331d3686c4d2eaf06713a8) into this branch with an ordinary merge commit (9110482, never rebase, never force-push). One textual conflict in docs/dream-cycle/LEDGER.md (both sides had appended rows since this branch's 2026-10-06 base) — resolved by chronological concatenation, no row lost either side. packages/ledger/src/index.ts auto-merged clean against substantial intervening main history on the same file (the Dream Cycle v2 engine landing in #196, plus PR #167's duplicateDirections de-dup) — confirmed by direct inspection that blockedCount/blockedEvalStreak's majority conjunct is present, unaltered, in the merged file.

Re-evaluation on the new head. Real evaluator (npm test): vitest 886→889 (+3, this candidate's own tests, 0 regressions vs. main's own 886), governance 195/195 unchanged. npm run typecheck/npm run lint clean; npm run build clean (8 packages, no wasm/NAPI degradation). node packages/cli/dist/bin.js ledger verify --path docs/dream-cycle/LEDGER.md --since-row 38 --legacy-digest 23b02bfa98b56b374fadfb1b05df25e589dcdeab26143ae6183083d21779426a: OK. Live repro re-run against the rebuilt packages/ledger/dist/index.js: minority tail (3/14) → false; genuine majority (8/14) → true; all-blocked (14/14) → true; exact 50/50 (7/14) → false — all unchanged from the original round.

Fresh critic + reward-hack pass (this round). Disclosed limitation: nested-agent spawning was denied at depth 1 this session, so no separate subagent context was available — this pass was run directly by the consolidating session rather than a fully isolated subagent. Diffed the candidate's two files from the PR's original base (23a5770) to the new head: byte-identical to the originally reviewed diff — no competing change landed on blockedEvalStreak itself since baseline. Ran 7 of my own adversarial probes beyond the shipped 3 tests directly against the rebuilt dist: empty window (false, no crash), n=1 blocked (false), minimum n=3 all-blocked (true), custom window=3/5/6 options correctly rescaling the majority threshold (true/true/false), and an alternating pattern where majority is blocked but the tail isn't contiguous (false, last-3-consecutive still enforced). No counter-example found; no gold data, threshold, or test weakened. CLEAR.

CI on the pushed head. Green: guard, CodeQL, test (both Node versions), no-optional-deps, software-evidence, dependency-security. Red: dependency-audit (npm audit --audit-level=high) — reproduced locally against this exact head's lockfile; git diff main -- package-lock.json from this branch is empty, so the lockfile is byte-identical to main's. Same pre-existing, already-tracked vite 8.3.0–8.3.2 → launch-editor dev-toolchain advisory as issue #197 (opened 2026-10-21 by this same consolidation pattern on PR #145, still open, no fix PR exists yet to port — a semver-range-breaking vite/vitest major bump is out of scope for this single-boolean-expression fix). Not re-filing a duplicate issue; not fixing it from this PR.

Decision. ACCEPT still holds and the fresh critic is clear, but not every required check on the new head is green (dependency-audit, for the reason above) — per STEP 1.5, this PR stays draft. Report refreshed at docs/dream-cycle/2026-10-06-ledger-signals-report.md with a new Evaluation Receipt addendum and witness (1ed38f45…, self-verified via dream-machine witness verify-report). Ledger row appended: docs/dream-cycle/LEDGER.md (2026-10-25).

No merge, no close, no force-push, no self-promotion.
