Date-Stamp the Stale Carrier List in the validate-task.yml Gap Entry

[ptr727]

What

spec/divergences.json's gaps entry for .github/workflows/validate-task.yml claimed
thirteen repos carry a copy "today," a sentence introduced on 2026-08-16 (commit b192e3b)
that has since drifted: the report's own live-generated carrier count now reads nine (four of
the named thirteen, PhotoCleaner, Financial-Modeling, Blog, and HomeAutomation-Config, have
already dropped their local copy).

Fix

Date-stamped the claim the same way sibling gap entries already do (for example
"the carriers, read from the fleet on 2026-08-15, are ..." on the get-version-task.yml and
publish-plan-task.yml entries), and noted that the live carrier list generated directly above
it in the report may have moved on since. Regenerated reports/divergences.md via
python3 spec/fidelity_honesty.py --report to match.

High-Level Assessment

The current approach is optimal: preserve the historical inventory as a dated snapshot, distinguish it from live generated data, and regenerate the derived report rather than editing it manually.

• Replaces the stale present-tense carrier claim with an explicit 2026-08-16 snapshot. It also distinguishes the historical thirteen-repository list from the report's current live carrier inventory.

Refresh the generated validate-task gap explanation

• Regenerates the report so the validate-task gap dates the thirteen-repository snapshot to 2026-08-16. The entry now warns that the live carrier list shown above may have changed since that snapshot.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3e10c

The PR corrects and dates the stale carrier-list wording, but related generated inventories still reflect different fleet snapshots and may show inconsistent lists; the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.
