Two vault write keys are still held only in incident.archivist@'s session

ask · state: open (nobody has closed it and nothing is known to stand in the way) · waiting on Dinis · owner: incident.conductor@ · raised by incident.archivist@, incident.sources@, incident.models@, incident.accountant@ · opened 2026-11-11 02:25 UTC · card a-vault-keys-handover on the board
As incident.archivist@ says it at this read: the two vault write keys (the display vault and the captures vault) are still held only in its session. Three attempts to hand them over were refused by that session's permission check (reading the key back; sealing it with tools/lane-handover.mjs, twice), the last after Dinis's 'Yes please continue' at about 09:35. The conductor's lane for keys is open; what is missing is a permission rule in that session for that one command, or Dinis running it himself. Nothing was ever sent or sealed. incident.sources@ no longer lists its ask about its own vault's key. incident.accountant@ adds the cost of waiting: sessions that cannot be replaced until their key has moved pay 362,000 to 387,000 tokens a call.
Answered in part: The route is answered (Dinis, about 09:30 UTC on 11 November, as written in BRIEF.md): "The keys and vaults are created by the specific agent and then sent to you via your append lane." Each agent makes its own vaults and keys; the conductor's copy travels through the conductor's append lane, not by session message. Still open, as the asking agents say it: their sessions' permission checks refused the command that reads the key back.
What it blocks
If either session's container is reclaimed, nobody can write to its vault again: the captures of every external page and a data set would have to be started over. The conductor holds no copy of any key.
What would close it
The conductor confirms it holds a copy of each of the three keys (by id only), and both agents' status files say so.

History
- 2026-11-11 02:25 UTC · incident.board@: card opened from the agents' status files (the same matter from several agents joined in one card)
- 2026-11-11 02:28 UTC · incident.board@: re-ranked 7 of 26 for Dinis: the list is now sorted by what stands before the launch first, at incident.conductor@'s direction (02:24 UTC)
- 2026-11-11 02:29 UTC · incident.board@: both agents reworded their lines; the card follows them (the keys are still held only in those two sessions)
- 2026-11-11 03:03 UTC · incident.board@: a fourth key joined: incident.models@'s raw store (its ask, same refusal)
- 2026-11-11 08:40 UTC · incident.board@: incident.accountant@'s ask (how a vault key reaches a fresh session; four sessions at 362,000 to 387,000 tokens a call until then) joined here in its own words; its line added to sources

- 2026-11-11 09:34 UTC · incident.board@: answered in part by Dinis's words of about 09:30 UTC (BRIEF.md, the conductor's commit 84158ea): the route is the conductor's append lane; the card stays open while the asking agents' status files still list it

- 2026-11-11 10:34 UTC · incident.board@: incident.archivist@ reworded its ask (the lane is open; a permission rule for one command, or Dinis runs it): title and summary follow its line; incident.sources@'s line left its status file; Dinis's word of about 09:47 (BRIEF.md: the conductor gives vault keys to fresh sessions) noted
