ORDRE counted pending orders only, so a repo with one order in flight and a
repo with no orders at all both printed 0 - the same digit for two opposite
facts. Measured 2026-08-23: two panes stood open and idle for 45 hours holding
finished orders, with full quota authorised, and no column on the board
reported it.
FLY counts orders/claimed/ - the same queue in its other state, never summed
with ORDRE and never a fourth axis. It does NOT mean a session is alive:
nothing un-claims an order when the claiming session dies, and one order on
the live mailbox had been claimed for 117 hours. The legend denies the
liveness reading in those words, pinned as a check on the legend text.
--plan now names free capacity as ledig_antall=N plus one ledig=<repo>
(<status>) line per repo with nothing owed, no pending order, nothing in
flight, a clean tree, at done or deferred. All four conditions are required:
measured on the real tree, 4 of 17 done/deferred repos were not free. Lines,
never blocks - the plan's second consumer discards a block with no tab=, so a
block would be visible to the operator and invisible to the driver.
Process inspection was considered and refused; the selftest asserts the
absence of pgrep/pkill/lsof structurally with a known-positive control. The
full argument, and the gap left open, are in
docs/2026-08-23-free-capacity-investigation.md.
board-selftest: 259 -> 281 checks, all green. npm test 11/11.
