An unnamed release (no readable file name) is written to pending_releases (migration 6300, the HDD) with its keys, counts, article span, upload tool and probe targets, instead of releases, release_texts, posters and a chunk. The edge sends it with an empty payload and its tool; the batch store splits a batch by readable. The pending ladder (probes cheapest first, signature verdicts, the move into the catalog) comes next. The replay report shows the pending releases. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
