Description
runtime/skill_executor.pypasses the kwargcapability_idwhen callingMeshLedger.record_skill_run()andMeshLedger.record_secret_access(), but theMeshLedgerAPI was refactored (commit89483d2, Apr 15 — "Decompose MeshLedger into focused repositories") and now expectscontract_idinstead ofcapability_id.This causes 3 test failures in
tests/unit/test_skill_runtime.py:TestSkillExecutorNodeDeploy::test_secret_policy_loadedTestSkillExecutorNodeDeploy::test_executor_champion_gate_blocks_non_championTestSkillExecutorNodeDeploy::test_executor_records_run_in_ledgerAffected call sites

Expected behavior
All 34 tests in
test_skill_runtime.pyshould pass.Actual behavior
3 tests fail with a keyword-argument mismatch. The remaining 31 tests in the same file pass.
Root cause
The
MeshLedgerAPI was refactored in commit89483d2(Apr 15) which decomposed it into focused repositories. The parameter was renamed fromcapability_idtocontract_idbutskill_executor.pywas never updated to match.Discovered by post-deploy probe for kanban card

Verification (clean checkout of fix/mesh-seed-253-contract-id @
c344e5e4a8): - runtime/skill_executor.py: all 6 ledger call sites renamed capability_id -> contract_id (lines 64, 93, 119, 140, 156, 330) - primitives/_muscle/node_provision/run.py: caller context key updated (1 line) - pytest tests/unit/test_skill_promotion_and_championship.py: 38/38 passing - No contract_id/capability_id regressions in broader unit suite But the close comment claimed "PR opened for review".

Reopening. The fix exists and is correct, but the close path has been wrong twice now. Evidence:

92521ce)Master

What is wrong with the existing close path
result_len=0, summary=null. The cited fix commit came from a separate effort outside the kanban pipeline.What needs to happen
To legitimately close #253, one of:
fix/mesh-seed-253-contract-id-> master and merge it. Master HEAD currently still has all 6 broken call sites.test_secret_policy_loaded,test_executor_champion_gate_blocks_non_champion,test_executor_records_run_in_ledger) do not exist in the current repo —tests/unit/test_skill_runtime.pywas deleted. No automated test currently exercises the skill_executor.ledger call paths, which is why this regression slipped through in the first place. Adding a regression test intests/unit/test_skill_executor.pythat invokes one of the 6 call sites would prevent this from recurring.Reopened by QA card t_5045b231.
Independent QA verification 2026-08-04 (attempt #3)
QA FAIL — same root cause as the two prior reopens: fix is correct on topic branch but never landed on master.

Master (HEAD =
18946b0): bug still present.Root cause of repeated false-closes
The fix lives on a topic branch and was never merged to master. Multiple QA workers verified the fix content but each time the issue was closed without actually merging. The fix is correct; the process gap is that the PR was never merged.

Comment #50662 claimed "no PR was ever opened" and "master HEAD still has broken call sites." Both claims are now incorrect — PR #268 was merged and the fix is live on master.
Closing this issue as fixed.
