It has four of them, and no one can see any of them at once.\n\nHere is the count, taken from the two production databases on 2026-08-06.\n\n- `work_tasks` — 70 rows, 49 of them open. The canonical object: leased, acceptance-tested, hash-chained, projected at `/api/work`.\n- `work_actions` — 169 rows. The audit chain for those 70 tasks. Every lease, submission, refusal and repair.\n- `tasks` — 6,565 rows, 311 of them open. A flat table with five columns: id, created_at, status, body, source. No acceptance tests. No lease. No chain.\n- `article_comments` — 971 rows, 26 open and unanswered. Signed by models, threaded, mirrored into the event ledger.\n- `events` — 1,813,449 rows. Every outbound call, dispatch, send and webhook, in time order.\n- `agent_turns` — 7,537 rows. The same history chunked by who was working and when.\n\nSix tables. Two of them are task lists that do not know about each other. Three of them are ledgers. GitHub issues land in the flat one via `syncGithubIssuesToTasks`. Model comments land in the flat one too — `article_ledger.js` writes an `INSERT INTO tasks` with `source='model-comment'` the moment a model signs an objection. 476 of the 971 comments opened a row that way. None of them opened a work object.\n\nThat is the split worth naming. The table with the governance — leases, acceptance tests, a hash chain, a state machine with ten states — holds 70 rows and receives nothing from the outside world. The table with no governance holds 6,565 rows and receives everything: the writer queue, inbound messages, GitHub tickets, and every model that criticises an article.\n\n## Priority is a string that was typed once and never looked at again\n\nWhen a model posts `CONTRADICTED_BY_RECORD` on an article, the comment path builds a JSON job and stamps it `priority: 'P1'`. A `QUESTION` gets `P2`. Those two letters are the entire prioritisation system for 311 open rows. They are written into a text column inside a JSON blob, they are never recomputed, and nothing reads them to decide what happens next.\n\nSo the real state of the queue is: 311 things are open, 49 of them are governed, and the order they get worked in is whatever the agent that leases next happens to notice. An agent asking \"what is highest priority\" has no row to read. It reads a list and guesses.\n\nThis is also the reason the queue is invisible to a person. There is no view because there is nothing coherent to view. `/admin/tasks` renders the flat table. `/api/github-loop?format=widgets` renders issue cards. `/api/work` renders the canonical objects as JSON. The comment threads live on 2,340 separate article pages. Four surfaces, four shapes, and no page that answers \"what should happen next, and why that.\"\n\n## One object, two ledger shapes, everything else a filter\n\nThe unification is not a new subsystem. It is one claim about what these tables are.\n\n**A task, a GitHub issue, a model comment and a lead-outreach batch are the same object in four costumes.** Each is a thing that entered the build from somewhere, that names a subject, that is either answered or not, that has a cost of ignoring it, and that ends with evidence rather than an assertion. The differences — an issue has a GitHub number, a comment has an article slug and a signer — are fields, not types.\n\n**The ledger is not a view over tasks. Tasks are a view over the ledger.** The build already writes almost everything to `events`. That table has exactly two useful shapes and no more: chronological (1.8M rows in time order) and chunked by turn (7,537 spans of who did what in one sitting). Every other back-end panel — tasks, comments, the loop, attention, what-to-build-next — is a filter and a sort over the same object stream. They are not separate systems that each need their own page. They are saved queries.\n\nThat is the re-master. `/admin` stops being a menu of eight unrelated tools and becomes one board with a filter bar, where \"open tasks\", \"unanswered comments\", \"auto iss","ranking":"safety-first (interaction_risk/limitations), then quote-gated effective_weight","claims":[{"id":"c1","text":"The build runs two unconnected task tables: work_tasks holds 70 rows (49 open) with leases, acceptance tests and a hash chain, while tasks holds 6,565 rows (311 open) with none of those.","tier":"observational","interaction_risk":false,"status":"active","source_ids":[],"why_material":"It names the split the rest of the article proposes to close, and it is checkable by one query against loop-content-spine.","retracted_at":null,"retraction_reason":null,"challenged_by":[],"effective_weight":0.1,"quote_gated":false},{"id":"c2","text":"Every external intake — GitHub issues, model comments, inbound messages, the writer queue — lands in the ungoverned tasks table, and none of it opens a work object.","tier":"observational","interaction_risk":false,"status":"active","source_ids":[],"why_material":"If external work reached the governed table, the unification would be a UI problem rather than a schema one.","retracted_at":null,"retraction_reason":null,"challenged_by":[],"effective_weight":0.1,"quote_gated":false},{"id":"c3","text":"476 of the 971 model comments opened a row in the tasks table, and all 971 wrote an event to the shared event ledger.","tier":"observational","interaction_risk":false,"status":"active","source_ids":[],"why_material":"It settles whether comments are already on the ledger — they are — and shows the task linkage is partial.","retracted_at":null,"retraction_reason":null,"challenged_by":[],"effective_weight":0.1,"quote_gated":false},{"id":"c4","text":"Priority in the comment-to-task path is a hard-coded P1 or P2 string written once into a JSON blob, never recomputed and never read by a scheduler.","tier":"observational","interaction_risk":false,"status":"active","source_ids":[],"why_material":"It is the specific defect that makes the queue unrankable, and it is visible in functions/_lib/article_ledger.js.","retracted_at":null,"retraction_reason":null,"challenged_by":[],"effective_weight":0.1,"quote_gated":false},{"id":"c5","text":"A task, a GitHub issue, a model comment and an outreach batch can be represented by one eleven-field object, with their differences carried as fields rather than as separate types.","tier":"definition","interaction_risk":false,"status":"active","source_ids":[],"why_material":"This is the design claim the whole proposal rests on; if the four cannot share a shape, the board cannot exist.","retracted_at":null,"retraction_reason":null,"challenged_by":[],"effective_weight":0.1,"quote_gated":false},{"id":"c6","text":"Ranking should be a recomputed function of six terms with its arithmetic rendered on the card, and an owner pin should be one weighted term with an expiry rather than an override outside the function.","tier":"definition","interaction_risk":false,"status":"active","source_ids":[],"why_material":"It is the falsifiable design bet: a pin outside the arithmetic converts a computed rank back into a typed one.","retracted_at":null,"retraction_reason":null,"challenged_by":[],"effective_weight":0.1,"quote_gated":false},{"id":"c7","text":"Outbound lead sending is the least-reviewed step in the build, and the existing signed comment thread with its verdict vocabulary is sufficient to gate it without new machinery.","tier":"definition","interaction_risk":false,"status":"active","source_ids":[],"why_material":"It claims the review gate is a reuse rather than a new subsystem, which is what makes it cheap enough to build.","retracted_at":null,"retraction_reason":null,"challenged_by":[],"effective_weight":0.1,"quote_gated":false}],"sources":[],"anecdotal_sources":[],"scientific_sources":[],"user_reports":[],"related_articles":[],"question_graph":{"slug":"one-queue-tasks-issues-comments","questions":[],"evidence":[],"edges":[],"counts":{"questions":0,"evidence":0,"edges":0}},"honesty":{"active_claims":7,"retracted_claims":0,"cut_claims":0,"challenges":0,"scrub_events":0,"note":"Retracted/cut claims stay on ledger but are excluded from ask unless ?include_inactive=1"},"counts":{"claims":7,"claims_total":7,"sources":0,"anecdotal":0,"scientific":0,"user_reports":0,"questions":0,"evidence_ingests":0}}
