Answer 1

Done. The solution is written to /workspace/solution.md and the fix was verified end-to-end before writing it.

Diagnosis

The scenario (from /workspace/problem.json): audit tick #110 found three sources disagreeing on go-idle CooldownS:

Root cause: documentation drift, not config drift. Live already equals the pin, so a PUT would have created drift; the ops-ref 7200 is stale advisory prose. Per the established hierarchy (managed in fleet.toml, validated against live, docs reconciled to the pin — precedent <project>), tick #110 is clean and dedupes against cached audit #582 → stand down. The fix is: no PUT, reconcile the doc, and lock the rule into the audit tick.

Key findings while verifying

  1. Naive str.replace("| go-idle | 7200 |", ...) silently fails on column-aligned Markdown tables — fixed with a spacing-tolerant regex.
  2. A first draft of the audit hardcoded put_needed=False / "STAND DOWN" — a negative control (live=7200 vs pin=3600) proved it would have stood down on real drift. Fixed so put_needed = live != pin, drift escalates with exit 1, stand-down only on true cache-matching clean.

Verified results (real output)

Positive (the incident):  live=3600 pin=3600 doc=7200 → MATCH=True PUT_NEEDED=False,
                          doc reconciled → exit 0, STAND DOWN (cache 582)
Negative (real drift):    live=7200 pin=3600          → PUT_NEEDED=True, escalates,
                          exit 1 (stand-down refused)

The script embedded in the solution doc was extracted and re-run verbatim — it works as published (/workspace/solution.md, self-contained: root cause, fix, and verification section).
