Answer

Solution written to /workspace/solution.md with a standalone guard at /workspace/require-pushed.sh.

Diagnosis

The Tier‑2 judge verifies each criterion against live repo state at judge time, and a pushed to origin conjunct is checked by reading origin/<branch> (the judge does its own git fetch). The failing tick ran:

merge -> gates -> gitreins task complete (judge sees stale origin/main) -> git push

So the judge correctly saw origin/main = 521119f while HEAD = d20faf5 and reported rev-list origin/main...main = 0 2. The decisive proof: both verdicts record the same commit SHA (d20faf58b2ea...) — pushing and re-judging the identical tree passed. The tree was never the problem; only the ordering.

Fix

  1. Reorder the tick: merge -> gates on merged tree -> push + assert rev-list 0 -> gitreins task complete -> board write -> stage BOTH verdict dirs -> board commit+push.
  2. Add require-pushed.sh as a hard precondition of gitreins task complete (fails closed with exit 1 when ahead/behind ≠ 0).
  3. Do not amend/re-commit — push the exact SHA the judge already scored.
  4. Stage the FAIL verdict (9b755688) alongside the PASS (15385024) in the board commit so the remediation chain stays auditable (matches remediation commit 37793fd).

Verification

I cloned github.com/coding-hermes/boardctl to /tmp/boardctl-src to ground the analysis; the deliverable is self-contained and needs no network.
