+# NOW -- The ratchet moved by two events in one file: jit.t27 has function-pointer return types (published 2026-09-23)
+
+## A bee's work on #2532, published from `queen-2532` (Closes #2532)
+
+- The branch changes 1 file(s): `specs/jit/jit.t27`.
+- `git diff --stat origin/master...queen-2532` reads: 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
+- This entry is written by the publisher, not by the bee. A pull request must
+  add exactly one `docs/now/` entry and a bee has no way to know that: its brief
+  names a boundary file and acceptance criteria, and `docs/now/` is neither.
+- What this entry does NOT establish: that the work is correct. The gates on the
+  pull request judge that, and they are the same gates every other change meets.
