nx_drift_fix.nx

nx_drift_fix.nx -- APPLY the verifiable dep-drift fix to a COPY (never the SSOT), so the CRITIC (nx_queue_health) can CONFIRM the drift drops -- evidence a fix works, not a self-declaration. Operator 2026-07-04: "i only believe when i see evidence; the critic decides if you got it fixed + you check in with it." THE VERIFIABLE FIX: a row whose DEPS field holds a STATUS-WORD (TODO/DONE/GEN/NOVEL/WIP/RED) is definitionally mis-emitted (deps must be task-ids or "-"). The STATUS↔DEPS columns are swapped: swapping them back makes deps = the old status (a real id that resolves, OR "-" for a root) and status = the status-word (valid). This provably clears the 19 SWAP-class drifts. The 16 RENAME/REMOVED rows (deps looks like an id but doesn't resolve) are NOT status-words -> NOT touched here (they need an owner REPOINT, not a swap). SAFE: reads the SSOT, writes a COPY (out path = argv[2], default assignment_queue.fixed.tsv). The SSOT is NEVER modified -- the real edit stays council-gated (proposed wms-drift-fix, DENIED without quorum). This just produces the fixed artifact so the critic can grade it + the owner/council can see the exact diff before approving. license_tier: ORIGINAL lineage_id: nishi_drift_fix_v1 expect_exit: 0
