description	Pull Lead B (Matt Keuning) lane status for the ZW→VIP consolidation sprint from his tailnet-served endpoint, and reconcile it against authoritative repo state. Use when you need to know where Matt's lane stands (M03.x, gate-20 conditions, cross-lane triggers) without interrupting him.

Lead B status (Matt) — tailnet pull

Matt serves a status surface for his side of the ZW→VIP consolidation sprint at:

https://matthews-macbook-pro.tailcc6c5f.ts.net/zw-migration?format=text

?format=text returns ~9KB of plain text; without it you get HTML with the same content. Always use the text form — it is the whole board, cheaply.

It is reachable over the CloudWarriors tailnet (tailcc6c5f.ts.net) from Chad's machine. It is his self-published surface — read-only to us. Only /zw-migration answers; /, /admin, /api and the raw upstream path all 404 (verified independently 2026-07-29 from Chad's node).

Pull it

~/.claude/skills/zw-lead-b-status/fetch_status.sh
# or against a different path/host:
~/.claude/skills/zw-lead-b-status/fetch_status.sh 'https://matthews-macbook-pro.tailcc6c5f.ts.net/zw-migration?format=text'

Exit 0 = fetched. Non-zero = not fetched, with the reason on STATE=.

Interpreting STATE — do not conflate these

STATE	Means	What to do
OK	2xx, payload follows	Read it, then reconcile (below)
HTTP_401 / HTTP_403	Service is UP; THIS node has no user identity	Tailscale injects the caller's user identity into the proxied request and a TAGGED node has none. Verified symmetric 2026-07-29: a tagged node gets 401 from Matt's board and from Chad's. Re-run from a user-owned node (tailscale status --json → Tags: None). Says NOTHING about his lane
HTTP_<other>	Service answered but not 2xx	Wrong path — check the URL before assuming anything about his lane
NO_SERVICE	Host UP on tailnet, nothing serving HTTP	Expected when his machine is on but tailscale serve isn't running. Says NOTHING about his lane — do not report it as "Matt is blocked/quiet"
HOST_DOWN	Not reachable on the tailnet	Machine asleep/offline/ACL. Also says nothing about his lane
NO_TAILSCALE	No tailscale CLI locally	Can't distinguish down from not-serving; say so rather than guessing

The distinction is the point. "No answer" has several causes with opposite implications, and reporting an unreachable endpoint as a lane status is how a teammate gets misrepresented.

Status history, kept because the diagnosis is reusable. Through 2026-07-29 the endpoint returned NO_SERVICE while Lead B reported the publish path as UP — so "he says it's live" was not evidence it was, and the state distinction earned its keep. It went live late 2026-07-29 and Chad's node verified 200 / 9,103B independently. Root cause was Tailscale's own ShieldsUp preference on Matt's node: block-incoming inside the tunnel extension, beneath the OS firewall and above every listener, so tailscale serve was correctly configured the entire time and nothing it did was observable. Add that to the checklist before re-deriving a serve config — tailscale debug prefs | grep -i shields on the SERVING node.

Probe before reporting (seven attempts, all connection-refused 000, while tailscale ping answered in ~101ms on a direct connection):

H=matthews-macbook-pro.tailcc6c5f.ts.net
for u in "https://$H/zw-migration" "http://$H/zw-migration" "https://$H/" \
         "https://$H/zw-migration/" "http://$H:8080/zw-migration" \
         "http://$H:3000/zw-migration" "http://$H:8000/zw-migration"; do
  C=$(curl -sk -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' --max-time 6 "$u"); echo "${C:-000}  $u"
done

000 everywhere + a healthy tailnet ping means nothing is listening on the tailnet interface. The usual cause is a server bound to 127.0.0.1 with tailscale serve not running or not proxying to it — a localhost server is invisible over the tailnet however right the URL is. Report the probe, not a conclusion about his lane.

Reconcile before you trust it

A published status surface is a snapshot that can go stale — the same failure mode that made a shared dashboard necessary in this sprint (two old planning-doc lines were read as current, and the sprint frontend silently pointed at dev2 with nothing in a diff to catch it).

So treat the endpoint as a claim, and the repo as authority:

# what actually landed on his side
ssh root@noob-root "cd /root/web/ZoomWarriors2/zoomwarriors-backend && \
  git log --oneline -15 development | cat"

# the shared present-tense surface both leads update in-merge
ssh root@noob-root "cat /root/web/ZoomWarriors2/docs/consolidation/CURRENT-STATE.md"

If the endpoint and the repo disagree, the repo wins and the disagreement itself is worth telling him about.

What Lead B owns (context for reading the payload)

Experience/integration lane: M03.x (M03.3 → M03.2 → M03.4), M13.1, M15.4, M16.1. Cross-lane triggers to watch for:

• M03.4 green → the integration checkpoint for Lead A's M09.1 (real brand context replaces the experience shim). Matt flags this.
• Gate 20 (frontend suite in the battery) — agreed with a 2-week quarantine; wire-in was conditioned on his M03.3/M03.2 landings staying green.
• M03.1 host-map activation — requires one more adversarial review pass before EXPERIENCE_HOST_MAP is configured in ANY environment.

Talking to him instead

The endpoint is for not interrupting him. When something needs an answer rather than a status, DM him directly (Zoom, via the chad-agent MCP): list_contacts → [e-mail] (JID Z6xg3_LUSRGovuXqO4j1WA) → send_dm. Sends go out AS CHAD and are public/irreversible.
