+## Item 8 -- OWNED: pipe-masked L10 lint FAIL on the D-135 commit (abd6b92)
+
+- The D-135 commit changed a design-decisions Status line WITHOUT
+  CURRENT-STATE in the same commit (GA-R1 C1 / lint L10) and shipped anyway:
+  my lint invocation piped through `tail`, masking the nonzero exit --
+  the EXACT defect the 2026-07-23 queue-pass session owned same-hour
+  yesterday. Repeated; owned.
+- Repair: this commit carries the owed CURRENT-STATE update (post-carve
+  rulings + D-135 + refreshed NEXT line). Practice fixed in-session: lint
+  exit now checked via PIPESTATUS, never inferred from tail output.
+- **Revert:** n/a (repair commit).
