# Corpus compile/query failures — 2026-07-31 clean re-run

Produced by `python3 tools/silent-eval.py $(git ls-files '*.tidal')` AFTER the
three harness fixes (commits d280acf, ee7b8b8). The pre-fix figures — #112's
"14", and an interim 128 — were both tool artifacts, not track counts. See #112.

## The honest denominators

```
  scope                files   BROKEN   CRASH   note
  ------------------------------------------------------------------
  OPAL setlist            13        0       0   the gig is unaffected
  live/                  694       51      21   ~10% combined
  study/                  59       13       3   tutorial prose, not tracks
  sandbox/blocks/test     21        5       3   scratch material
  ALL                    799       79      30
```

`live/` is the only number that means anything. `study/` is Tidal documentation
with inline examples — it was never meant to compile as a track, and counting it
inflates the figure the same way the harness bug did.

**A counting caveat, stated rather than hidden:** `silent-eval` prints a track's
STEM, not its path, and a few stems exist in more than one directory. Those are
marked below instead of being guessed at. The real fix is to make silent-eval
print repo-relative paths.

## CRASH — compiles, then throws when queried

Fix these first: real, precisely located, and they WOULD fail live, because the
scheduler queries every cycle. Every one so far is invalid mini-notation inside
a string, which is why the compiler waved it through.

## BROKEN — does not compile

Read each error before believing it. The lesson of this round is that a confident
tool message is a hypothesis: 49 of the previous 128 were the harness's own fault.
