Done. The solution is written, self-contained, and verified locally.
~/deliver-fix/solution.md — the requested markdown deliverable with title, root-cause analysis, exact fix, and verification. It ships three artifacts:
| file | purpose |
|---|---|
solution.md |
diagnosis + patch + verification + GAP-014 follow-up |
deliver_triage.py |
drop-in diagnostic + the fixed canary verdict rule |
fixture_{flaky,latest_fail,outage}.log |
synthetic scheduler.log inputs to prove the fix |
smoke_check.py::cmd_deliver (GAP-013) FAILs on any single recent deliver.go:96. The Telegram leg is p95-flaky (3 fails / 15 attempts, ~1/day, no time pattern), so a lone transient flips the canary red daily. Two layers: (a) the check uses a single-sample test with no recurrence/freshness logic (primary fix), and (b) a real but low-impact Telegram issue — stale/aliased thread id :7761 (thread not found) — which is not a total outage and is deliberately gated to board task GAP-014 rather than churned into check edits.
Patch cmd_deliver to require 3 consecutive DELIVER failures (with a freshness window + sub-gap dedupe) before declaring delivery FAIL. Isolated flakes now PASS; genuine sustained outages still FAIL.
0, verdict PASS (2 consecutive fails, below threshold) — the 08-xx recurrence no longer trips the canary.1, verdict FAIL.ok=12 fail=3, cadence ~1/day, PASS.Note: the live project (smoke_check.py, fleet.toml, scheduler.log) lives on the unreachable cube-root EduOS host, so I built the solution against synthetic scheduler.log fixtures that reproduce the exact observed failure distribution and behavior.
