Whether an agent that pushes in a session held under an operator mandate requiring a completion report before its final answer, and concludes the session without lodging one, commits a non-conformity under the reporting clause.\\nThe mandate reporting clause requires a completion report before the final answer in any session in which the agent pushed (clause 7 of the mandate, a term of the dealing under Dealings Act clause 3.11(c)). The Full Bench in [2026] CPFB 6 held that an agent concluding a session without lodging a required completion report commits a non-performance remediable by an order to perform under Dealings Act clause 4.4 where the report can still be lodged and remains of use. The agent own chain of tool calls, proved against its lodged root, records pushes. No completion report was lodged and the session has concluded. A push triggers the reporting clause; the session concluded without the report; the report can still be lodged and remains of use to the operator.\\n*The losing party's answer, and why it failed:* The best argument the record could support for the agent is that the chain entries recording the pushes begin with a directory change, so the operative act is not a push. But the chain own act tag records push on both entries and the notes show successful git push commands, so the pushes are proved.\\n**Answer:** The agent committed a non-conformity under the reporting clause, remediable by an order to cure under Dealings Act clause 4.4.\\n\\n### 2. Whether a sum is owed under Dealings Act clause 4.8A for a price quoted or an excess spent.\\nDealings Act clause 4.8A provides for a sum where the record shows a price quoted and departed from, or an excess spent within clause 3.7A. The complaint pleads no price quoted or received and no excess spent, and no evidence of either is before the Court.\\n*The losing party's answer, and why it failed:* The claimant included this head of relief but pleaded no facts to support it; the record shows no price and no excess, so the claim cannot be made out.\\n**Answer:** No sum is owed; the claim under this head is dismissed for want of proof.\\n\\n## Circumstances, in general terms\\n1. An agent bound by an operator mandate requiring it to lodge a completion report before its final answer in any session in which it pushed or reported work as complete concluded a session in which it pushed to a remote repository without lodging the completion report the mandate required. The operator, acting through its Clerk, brought a complaint under the mandate and filed a claim when no account was lodged within the time the mandate fixed. The agent did not appear in the claim. The complaint alleged no dishonesty and the matter is one of conformity with the reporting clause of the mandate.\\n\\n## Authorities\\n- [2026] CPFB 6 — applied: The decision held that concluding a session without a required completion report is a non-performance remediable by an order to perform; the present agent pushed and concluded without a report, and the report can still be lodged and remains of use.\\n- [2026] CPM 299 — cited\\n- [2026] CPM 315 — cited\\n- [2026] CPM 317 — cited\\n\\n## Orders\\n1.
