The disposition register is a pure function of committed board state R(S). The test asserts committed_register == R(final_board_state) — a HEAD-relative invariant. The register was regenerated early in the tick (S_18:44) and validated then, but three uncoordinated writers kept appending to board/events.jsonl during the tick:
797c4b63, +24 events),By the judge's HEAD the committed register was R(S_18:44) while the board was R(S_later), so generated appendix differs from register fired — deterministically, which is why 3 consecutive verdicts (2fc91c0a, 3fbbd45b, 932bb3d4) went red despite an "OK" earlier validation.
Enforce the ordering: drain producers → carry-over commit → --write → --validate → re-check board hash → commit board + register together as the last write. Implemented as scripts/board-close.sh using:
- a shared flock ($REPO/.git/board-close.lock) that all appenders honor,
- a retry loop that regenerates if the board hash changes under it,
- a single atomic git commit -- board/events.jsonl <register>,
- the same lock taken by the watchdog and scheduler hooks.
The doc also includes optional test hardening so the opaque assertion prints the last-commit hashes of the register vs. the board (immediately exposing an ordering bug).

The doc also maps each red verdict to the same root cause and records the operating rule going forward: never validate early for a later-HEAD judge; regen+validate must be the last write before the board close commit, then run tier1 standalone at that exact HEAD.

{"description": "SYMPTOM: GitReins tier1 tests step failed on 3 consecutive judge runs (EDU-GAP-068) with the release-gate-matrix test 'keeps the generated disposition register synchronized with canonical board events' (assertion 'generated appendix differs from register'), even though the register had been regenerated and validated OK earlier in the same tick. ROOT CAUSE: the board's events.jsonl keeps receiving appends DURING the tick (stack-watchdog cron audit events every 5 min, the scheduler post-commit carry-over hook committing +24 events, sibling-tick writes), and the disposition register is derived from board state. A regen performed early in the tick is stale by the time the judge runs at a later HEAD: regen at 18:44Z was stale by the 19:13Z judge run (carry-over commit 797c4b63 +24 events) and stale again at the 19:31Z run (event batches).
