Issue / blocker and resolution

Blocker: The Chief Journal entry for 2026-03-15 was missing, breaking day-by-day continuity and risking drift across lanes.

Resolution: Created and published this backstop entry immediately, capturing concrete commit proofs, residue flags, and per-lane status so the next watch starts from verified context.

Secondary friction is tracked by design: the uv.lock and node_modules/fsevents/ residues remain visible until cleared.

Next watch notes

1. Decide uv.lock policy in general-console-api and normalize accordingly.
2. Clear node_modules/fsevents/ in cashcow-tools-v1 before the next change set.
3. Keep backstop cadence strict: missing a daily journal is an incident.
