-# [S] The land fixer survives a closed pipe
-
-## Goal
-
-A fixer run on a dropped PR finishes with a fix, a flaky verdict, or a
-handback that names a decision, never a crash from a closed pipe. A test
-closes the reader of the step that crashed and finds the run still reports.
-
-## Plan
-
-Planned 2026-11-10 (maintainer, /quest-complete in moq-dev/moq). Milestone:
-✅ m0, in this epic (rejected: m0 standalone, m1).
-
-On moq-dev/moq the fixer handed back two ordinary drops with
-`fixer crashed (exit 1); run /quest-iterate` and the output
-`quest land check: [Errno 32] Broken pipe`:
-[moq-dev/moq#8406](https://github.com/moq-dev/moq/pull/8406) (a failed
-`merge_group` build, caused by a dead quest link) and
-[moq-dev/moq#8429](https://github.com/moq-dev/moq/pull/8429) (a merge
-conflict). Each then needed a person. `[Errno 32]` is Python's wording, so
-the crash may be in a script the fixer runs rather than in Quest's
-TypeScript; find which process prints it from the host's fixer logs first.
-If it is moq-dev/moq's own check script, fix it there instead (its
-`sh/migrate.sh` had the same `grep -q` under `pipefail` bug, fixed in
-[moq-dev/moq#8424](https://github.com/moq-dev/moq/pull/8424)) and delete
-this quest.
-
-Seen again 2026-11-10 on moq-dev/moq.pro, where it dropped about a dozen PRs
-in a day. There the batch check logs under the land state directory never
-contain the Broken-pipe line: they end with the real failure (a test, a
-typecheck, a merge conflict, or a timeout with exit 124), and the line shows
-up only in the fixer's handback. So the crash is in the fixer's own run, not
-in the repository's check, and the handback hides that real failure. A fixed
-fixer should still name it.
-
-Public API: none. Wire: none.
