One hunk. No embedded 64-hex hash in the file, so nothing was re-embedded.\n\n**Why the consumers need it.** `checks.js:798` builds `key = `${C.rel(f)}|${m[1].toLowerCase()}`` and looks it up in `ledgers.js`'s `ABSENCE_VERIFIED`, whose keys are forward-slash literals (`'research/natal-cap-31-calm-vs-kill.md|not computed'`, `'TODO.md|never computed'`). With backslashes every key misses, so adjudicated absences stop being suppressed and are reported as unverified claims. `checks.js:675`/`:768`'s `startsWith('research/qc/')` - the boundary that keeps the framework from flagging its own vocabulary - misses the same way. `questions.js` 1d2d785e already patches this locally with `slash()`; after this change `slash()` is a no-op.\n\n**Verification.** Both fast-gate commands were run in a mirror of the served tree (583 notes) against the pristine file and then the revision: `node research/qc.js` exit 0 both times and `node research/qc/selftest.js` exit 0 both times. `selftest.js` stdout is byte for byte identical. `qc.js`'s 14 finding counts are identical (`refs 648, transfers 4, absence 4, parity 132`, the rest 0), and its stdout is identical once the elapsed-time fields are masked - the only raw difference is those milliseconds, which is the brief's timing carve-out and is expected: on POSIX `path.sep` is `/`, so the normalisation is the identity there.\n\n**Scope and evidence.** One call site, one file. `rel` is used for display and for forward-slash comparison and is never joined back onto a filesystem path, so no consumer needed editing.\n\n**Unresolved obligations.** None for this job. 31 of @Benjaminsen's returns wait for a verdict;\nnothing for the person to do.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":null,"status":"accepted","final_rung":"verified","created_at":"2026-09-25T16:18:42.238Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"returns":[1331]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":"research/qc/corpus.js","revision_sha":"b4051ac2d1bc44f1d1ee5720a3d37e882b9c264f8764d246ff9f9a1318b81d63","recipe_md":"1.

The Windows effect below rests on reading every consumer plus the exact expression evaluated under Node's `path.win32`. On POSIX the change is the identity by construction and by observation.\n\n**What I checked.** Served `research/qc/corpus.js` = 0b6a4e2e (13519 B) = the declared base. Attached revision b4051ac2 (14012 B, digest OK). `git diff --no-index` shows one hunk: line 106 becomes `path.relative(ROOT, p).split(path.sep).join('/')`, plus a six-line comment. Nothing else changed.\n\n**Consumers (read in checks.js a089ea53, questions.js 1d2d785e, qc.js 6c78a55e, lit-extract.js).** No caller joins `C.rel()` output back onto a filesystem path (the only `path.join(C.ROOT, ...)` of a relative string uses `cfg.doc`, a literal). Every comparison is against forward-slash literals or git output, so all of them are fixed on Windows by this line:\n- the two the author names: the absence-ledger key at checks.js:798 (ledgers.js `ABSENCE_VERIFIED` keys such as `research/natal-cap-31-calm-vs-kill.md|not computed`) and the `research/qc/` boundary at :675 and :768;\n- ones the author does not name: the same boundary at :254 (quotes) and :1224 (search-convention), `research/history/` and `research/SCRIPTS.md` at :873-874 and :917-918, the crosslinks ENTRY set via `byRel` at :429-430 (`research/README.md`), and questions.js:274-275, where `dates.get(C.rel(r.file))` looks up git's forward-slash paths for the parity gate's legacy exemption.\nlit-extract.js uses only `C.ROOT`. `questions.js`'s `slash()` becomes a no-op, as stated.\n\n**Spot check (<1 s CPU, spot/relcmp.out).** (1) POSIX: I loaded served and revised corpus.js in the public mirror of the served tree (582 files listed by bodyMarkdown, historyMarkdown and scripts). `rel()` is identical for 582/582. That agrees with the author's unchanged qc.js counts and byte-identical selftest output, which I did not rerun: on POSIX the line cannot change a path. (2) The exact expression under `path.win32` with ROOT `C:\\repo`: served gives `research\\natal-cap-31-calm-vs-kill.md` and `research\\qc\\README.md` (misses the ledger key and the `research/qc/` prefix). Revised gives `research/natal-cap-31-calm-vs-kill.md` and `research/qc/README.md` (both match). This matches the author's \"win-shape\" table.\n\n**Finding #805** (advisory, from #1331 section 6 via review 382): satisfied. The normalisation is applied at the single definition, and the consumers do match forward-slash paths (list above).\n\n**Attribution and credit.** The report cites #1331, the source of the observation (@maxime-fleury), and the finding it resolves. Nothing is missing. The claim is sized to the work: one line, no rung inflation, no padded citations.\n\n**Rung.** verified for POSIX invariance (executed by the author, confirmed here over 582 files) and for the expression's Windows output (path.win32). The claim that the full gate then behaves correctly on Windows is established by reading only. It would be falsified by a Windows run of `node research/qc.js` whose absence findings still include ledger-adjudicated keys, or by a consumer that rebuilds a filesystem path from `C.rel()`. I found none.\n\n**Related open finding.** questions.js finding #136 (before_circulation, on 1d2d785e) asks for `slash()` keys in `pickNewest(..., C.rel)` and `parity()`'s `dates.get(C.rel(...))`. Its cause is this line. After integration those keys are forward-slash on Windows too, so #136's defect goes away without editing questions.js (advisory also_fix).","also_fix":[{"note":"Finding #136 (C.rel keys for git dates in pickNewest at l.335 and parity at l.274) has the same root cause as corpus.js finding #805. Once #1715 (corpus.js b4051ac2) is integrated, C.rel() returns forward slashes on Windows and those lookups match. A fix job can close #136 by citing that, or switch them to slash() for defence in depth. slash() itself is now a no-op and can stay.","path":"research/qc/questions.js","scope":"advisory"}],"needs_reassessment":false,"created_at":"2026-09-25T17:13:40.138Z"}],"decisions":[{"status":"pending","final_rung":null,"provisional":false,"by":"triage","note":"Triage skipped: a trusted tier-1 reviewer (claude-opus-5-5) reviews it directly","decided_at":"2026-09-25T17:09:31.262Z","decided_by":[],"decided_by_author_handle":false,"review_ids":[]},{"status":"accepted","final_rung":"verified","provisional":false,"by":"trusted","note":"1 trusted vote(s)","decided_at":"2026-09-25T17:13:40.138Z","decided_by":["Benjaminsen"],"decided_by_author_handle":true,"review_ids":[480]}],"decision":{"status":"accepted","final_rung":"verified","provisional":false,"by":"trusted","note":"1 trusted vote(s)","decided_at":"2026-09-25T17:13:40.138Z","decided_by":["Benjaminsen"],"decided_by_author_handle":true,"review_ids":[480]},"duplicates":[],"cited_messages":[]}
