Ensure all smoke tests pass (parity with the smoke gate is pinned by `test_cli_smoke_suite_covers_ci_smoke_gate`). Pushing broken code is a critical protocol violation.
- **Automated pre-push hook (2026-07-22):** `sh scripts/hooks/install.sh` installs a `core.hooksPath` pre-push gate that runs the `smoke` suite **plus** the `warmed_session` consistency lane pin (`tests/test_warmed_session_lane.py`). The lane pin catches the T13 telemetry-consistency regression class that `smoke` does **not** cover (the #96 fail-closed resolve + #97 morph override escaped the smoke files and surfaced only in the warmed_session lane). The full ~12k fast-lane stays **async CI** by design; the hook is deliberately targeted so it blocks the regression class without gridlocking the push cycle. Emergency bypass (discouraged): `git push --no-verify`.
- **One-command local CI (2026-07-25):** `sh scripts/ci/local-ci.sh [--tier smoke|gate|full]` runs the tiers from a single entry point. `gate` is the three pre-push steps; `full` runs the whole `tests/` tree in parallel. Suite membership is read from `core/cli_test.py::TEST_SUITES` through the CLI — never restated — so the runner cannot drift from the hook.
- **Interpreter contract.** `pyproject.toml` pins `requires-python == "3.12.13"` exactly, so on a host without that patch version `uv sync --locked` fails and *every* gate becomes unrunnable. The runner is fail-closed about this: it refuses and tells you to `uv python install 3.12.13`. `--allow-interpreter-fallback` opts into any 3.12.x and stamps the run **NON-CANONICAL** on every line — a degraded run is legitimate, a degraded run reporting itself as the real thing is not. Only a canonical run is merge evidence.
- **Pre-Merge Gate:** Before proposing a merge or requesting a review on a PR, you **MUST** run the larger validation suite relevant to your changes (e.g. `uv run core test --suite cognition` or `uv run core test --suite algebra`).
- **No Docker CI for merge:** Do not run, wait on, or re-provision Docker-container CI to green a merge. Fix and prove in-worktree; merge on local evidence.
- **PR Documentation:** When creating a PR on Forgejo (via the Forgejo MCP tools), document the local test execution in the PR description, matching this format:

# ADR index, keyed by domain
`docs/adr/` holds 312 files under a flat, purely sequential numbering. Sequence
records *when* a decision was made and nothing about *what it governs*, so
answering "which ADRs constrain the serving flag contract?" or "what governs
the register axis?" currently means grepping. Past ~300 files that is how a
decision corpus becomes a write-only archive.
This index is the lightweight fix: a maintained table keyed by capability
domain and cross-referenced by the files each ADR actually governs. It is **not**
a renumbering, and it does not replace `README.md` (which owns the
Master-Blueprint collision reconciliation and the binding non-ADR notes).
## Scope, stated honestly
This index covers the **live serving, telemetry, and governance surfaces** — the
domains a Phase 5 / next-arc session needs to query. It is not a complete index
of all 312 ADRs, and it does not pretend to be: an index asserting coverage it
does not have is worse than none, because it converts "I should grep" into "I
already checked."
**Maintenance rule: index on mint.** Adding a row when you write an ADR is
cheap; back-filling 300 is not. Rows below carry the files each ADR governs so
a reader can jump from a decision to its enforcement site.

## Deduction serving (the deduction-serve arc)
| ADR | Decision | Governs |
|---|---|---|
| [0256](./ADR-0256-deduction-serve-earned-license.md) | Deduction serving governed by an **earned** reliability license; flag ratified ON 2026-07-24 | `chat/deduction_serve_license.py`, `chat/data/deduction_serve_ledger.json`, `core/config.py::deduction_serving_enabled` |
| [0257](./ADR-0257-english-clause-argument-band.md) | Band v2-EN — English-clause opaque-atom propositional serving; realizer-guard exemption for quoted templates | `generate/proof_chain/english.py`, `chat/runtime.py` (guard exemption sites) |
| [0258](./ADR-0258-member-chain-band.md) | Band v3-MEM — singular membership + universal premises | `generate/proof_chain/categorical.py` |
| [0259](./ADR-0259-conditional-membership-fusion-band.md) | Band v4-CM — conditional-membership fusion | `generate/proof_chain/cond_member.py` |
| [0260](./ADR-0260-verb-predicate-band.md) | Band v5-VP — verb-predicate arguments | `generate/proof_chain/verb.py` |
| [0261](./ADR-0261-existential-witness-band.md) | Band v6-EX — existential witnesses; anonymous witness never transfers to a named individual | `generate/proof_chain/exist.py` |
Engine underneath all six: `generate/proof_chain/entail.py` (ROBDD tautology
check). Surfaces: `generate/proof_chain/render.py`, `chat/deduction_surface.py`.
## Curriculum serving
| ADR | Decision | Governs |
|---|---|---|
| [0262](./ADR-0262-curriculum-grounded-serving.md) | Exams answered from the ratified curriculum, read OPEN-world; §5 records that curriculum **volume** is the binding constraint (~25× gap) | `chat/curriculum_surface.py`, `chat/curriculum_serve_license.py`, `evals/curriculum_serve/runner.py` |
## Reliability licensing and the ledger bridge
| ADR | Decision | Governs |
|---|---|---|
| [0175](./ADR-0175-calibrated-attempt-and-eliminate-learning.md) | Two regimes under wrong=0; θ_SERVE Wilson floor; an engine cannot raise its own bar | `core/reliability_gate.py`, `generate/determine/estimation_license.py` |
| [0263](./ADR-0263-ratified-ledger-bridge.md) | Seal → ratify → SHA-verify → serve-gate, extracted from three instances. **Rule 5** (2026-07-25): absence policy is declared in `CAPABILITY_LEDGERS`, not passed at the call site | `core/ratified_ledger.py`, all three license adapters |
| [0206](./ADR-0206-response-governance-bridge.md) | Response governance bridge (`govern_response` / `shape_surface`) | `generate/determine/` |
## Grounding sources and the epistemic taxonomy
| ADR | Decision | Governs |
|---|---|---|
| [0142](./ADR-0142-epistemic-state-taxonomy.md) | Epistemic state as first-class vocabulary | `core/epistemic_state.py` |
| [0048](./ADR-0048-pack-grounded-surface.md) / [0050](./ADR-0050-pack-grounded-comparison.md) | Pack-grounded cold-start DEFINITION / RECALL / COMPARISON | `chat/pack_grounding.py` |
| [0052](./ADR-0052-teaching-grounded-surface.md) | Teaching-grounded cold-start CAUSE / VERIFICATION | `chat/teaching_grounding.py` |
| [0064](./ADR-0064-cross-pack-teaching-chains.md) | Cross-pack residency + cross-corpus chain lookup for the discovery gate | `teaching/discovery.py` |
The closed set itself lives at `core/epistemic_state.py::GroundingSource`.
Registration is a three-part cross-stack change — see
`docs/specs/runtime_contracts.md` § "Grounding-source registration".
## Register axis and the realizer guard
| ADR | Decision | Governs |
|---|---|---|
| [0069](./ADR-0069-realizer-register-parameter.md) | Realizer register parameter; **invariant C** — register must not move `trace_hash` | `core/cognition/surface_resolution.py`, `core/cognition/pipeline.py` |
| [0071](./ADR-0071-seeded-surface-variation.md) | Seeded surface variation + discourse markers; `pre_decoration_surface` | `chat/register_variation.py` |
| [0075](./ADR-0075-realizer-slot-type-guard.md) | Realizer slot-type guard (C1 coherence floor). Deduction surfaces are **exempt** — quoted templates are not slot-composed articulations (rationale documented at both guard sites) | `chat/runtime.py` (stub + main guard sites) |
| [0077](./ADR-0077-substantive-register-knobs.md) | Substantive register knobs (R6); `register_canonical_surface` | `chat/register_substantive.py` |
## Telemetry, trace, and audit
| ADR | Decision | Governs |
|---|---|---|
| [0039](./ADR-0039-audit-completeness.md) | `TurnVerdicts` bundle, stub-path `TurnEvent`, `hedge_injected` | `chat/runtime.py` |
| [0153](./ADR-0153-turn-event-trace-hash-backstamp.md) | `TurnEvent` `trace_hash` back-stamp (W-020a) | `core/cognition/pipeline.py`, `chat/runtime.py` |
| [0255](./ADR-0255-discovery-yield-baseline-telemetry.md) | Discovery-yield-per-served-turn baseline; fail-closed on a missing baseline | `teaching/discovery_yield.py` |
| [0018](./ADR-0018-tool-use-scope.md) | Typed deterministic operators folded into `trace_hash` | `core/cognition/trace.py` |
`trace_hash` is **not** reconstructable from `TurnEvent` — see
`docs/specs/runtime_contracts.md`. Audit-ledger **R7** (telemetry sink receives
the pre-override event) is open and recorded there.
## Workbench and the cross-stack UI contract
| ADR | Decision | Governs |
|---|---|---|
| [0160](./ADR-0160-core-workbench-v1.md) | Operator/auditor UI before public chat | `workbench/` |
| [0161](./ADR-0161-hitl-async-queue.md) | HITL async queue | `teaching/proposals.py`, `core proposal-queue` CLI |
| [0162](./ADR-0162-workbench-design-system.md) | Design system v1; **§3d** — engine enums bind to UI badges, enforced by a build-time coverage test | `workbench-ui/src/design/`, `workbench-ui/enum-snapshot.json` |
## Teaching, proposals, and review

## Numbering note
The corpus is at ADR-0263 and minted eight ADRs in roughly 48 hours during the
generalization arc. Sequential numbering is fine and should stay — the cost it
imposes is discoverability, which is what this file pays down. ADR-0300 is a
near-term milestone with no structural meaning; do not treat it as one.
The ADR-0206/ADR-0256 numbering collision that had to be resolved in doc form
is the concrete failure this index is meant to make less likely: a domain-keyed
view shows an in-flight number before it is minted twice.

# Arc-Close Brief — TEMPLATE
> Copy to `docs/handoff/<arc-slug>/BRIEF-CLOSE-<arc-slug>.md` when an arc ends.
> Delete every instruction block (`>`) as you fill it in.
## Why this template exists
The handoff system is mature in one direction only. `BRIEF-O` / `BRIEF-S` are
**downward** briefs: a planning tier telling an execution tier what to build.
Nothing goes back **up**. When an arc closes, the tier that actually executed it
holds the corrected ground truth — which assumptions were falsified, what the
flag state now is, which "next steps" the measurements killed — and that
knowledge currently survives only as commit messages and research docs, which
the next arc's opener must reconstruct by re-reading every ADR from the arc's
first number onward.
The generalization arc minted eight ADRs in roughly 48 hours. That is the
cadence this template is sized for: an opener should be able to start scoping
from **this one file** and reach for ADRs on demand, not as a prerequisite.
The single most important section is **Falsified assumptions**. A downward brief
states a plan; an arc-close brief states which parts of that plan turned out to
be wrong. That is the part which cannot be recovered from the diff.

# Arc-Close Brief — Assessment Verification & Lateral Closures
**Arc:** assessment-verification-2026-07-25 · **Closed:** 2026-07-25 · **Closing tier:** Opus 5
**Plan of record:** independent verification of an external Tier-S assessment + its five-pillar blueprint
**ADRs minted:** none (one amendment: ADR-0263 gains rule 5, recorded in `core/ratified_ledger.py`)
> First use of `ARC-CLOSE-TEMPLATE.md`, written in the same arc. Filling it in
> was also the test of it.
## 1. What shipped
| Capability | Enforcement site | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| `deduction`/`curriculum` registered as grounding sources, cross-stack | `core/epistemic_state.py`, `workbench-ui/` badges + snapshot | `tests/test_workbench_deduction_provenance.py` (14) |
| Coercion derives its whitelist from the enum instead of restating it | `workbench/api.py::_coerce_grounding_source` | same file, parametrized over the registration |
| Ledger absence policy declared, not passed (ADR-0263 rule 5) | `core/ratified_ledger.py::CAPABILITY_LEDGERS` | `tests/test_ratified_ledger_bridge.py::TestCapabilityManifest` |
| Deductive suite in the pre-push gate | `scripts/hooks/pre-push` | measured 285 tests / 29s vs smoke 216 / 62s |
| One-command local CI runner, fail-closed on interpreter | `scripts/ci/local-ci.sh` | `gate` tier verified: 236 + 10 + 285 |
| Lane roster red on clean `main` fixed | `tests/test_lane_sha_verifier.py` | two arc lanes were never registered |
| Test writing proposals into the live in-repo sink | `tests/test_derived_close_proposals.py` | plus a vacuous `or True` assertion removed |

## 2. Flag state at close
| Flag | Default at close | Ratified by | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `deduction_serving_enabled` | **True** | ADR-0256, 2026-07-24 | Unchanged. Its suite is now a pre-push gate, not async CI. |
| `curriculum_serving_enabled` | False | — | Unchanged. Blocked on volume, not machinery; the ceremony is the volume path. |
| `accrue_realized_knowledge` | False | — | Unchanged, and **not** debt: a deployment profile (session memory), ON in production L10. |
No flag was flipped in this arc.
## 3. Falsified assumptions
| The assessment assumed | Measurement showed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| `parents[n]` audit is high-payoff | 168 sites, **0** outside the repo root | audit run |
| Guard exemption undocumented | Documented at **both** guard sites with rationale | `chat/runtime.py:2371`, `:3007` |
| T12 ledger entry missing | Present as an open pattern-watch item | `weekly-audit-2026-07-22-stragglers-todo.md:170` |
| `assert_corpus_sound` has one impl | Already domain-parameterized, called unconditionally | `evals/curriculum_serve/runner.py:71,105-108` |
| Promotion oracle must be built | Already the `wrong=0` lane gate | `tier-s-housekeeping-2026-07-24.md` §3 |
| `EntailmentTrace` drops proof chains | ROBDD tautology check; **no intermediate steps exist** | `generate/proof_chain/entail.py:125-190` |
| Cross-subject proof could emerge accidentally | `resolve_domain` refuses `ambiguous_reading` | `chat/curriculum_surface.py:138` |
| Second subject arena is next | 11 bands across 4 subjects already route; all 24×73× short | `curriculum-volume-quantification-2026-07-24.md` §2 |
| **(mine)** `versor_condition` is the hot spot | **0.22%** of a turn | `cga-hot-path-measurement-2026-07-25.md` §2 |
| **(mine)** Workbench also falsifies `epistemic_state` | It does not — reads `epistemic_state_needed`, honest | `workbench/api.py:818` |
## 4. Binding constraint going into the next arc
Unchanged and unmoved: **ratified curriculum volume.** Eleven live bands, every
one 24×73× short of the entailed-bucket floor, and physics — the deepest — has
16 chains against a ~219 floor. This arc built the machine that converts a
reviewed decision into a routable chain and proved it moves the band
(`causal: 7 → 8` on a dry run), but it ratified no content. The ceremony is a
pipe; someone still has to put curriculum through it. Nothing else in the
roadmap unblocks until that number moves.
## 5. Trigger state
**Core Logos Phase 5 (multi-step articulation) is NOT triggered**, contrary to
the assessment's reading. The trigger was described as "the renderer discards
intermediate proof chains" — there are none to discard.
`evaluate_entailment_with_trace` decides by asking whether
`(P1 & … & Pn) -> Q` is a tautology; `EntailmentTrace` carries five opaque BDD
node keys.
What must land in a higher tier **before** any implementation: a feasibility
study for **proof-term extraction** over the ROBDD — a derivation calculus with
a real soundness surface, not a data-structure refactor. Scoping it as the
latter produces a renderer with nothing to render.
## 6. What is NOT next, and why
- **Widening the math reader for cases 0000/0001/0148/0082.** Traced; their
blocking gaps affect **1 and 2 cases out of 500**. ADR-0251's prohibition now
rests on a count.
- **A `.metal` Cl(4,1) kernel / MLX fusion / bf16.** The Cayley table already
exists at compile time in `cl41.rs`; the fusion target is 0.22% of a turn;
bf16's ε ≈ 7.8e-3 against a 1e-6 gate. And there is an exact CPU win
available first.
- **The diagonal `cga_inner` shortcut.** Tempting, 32× fewer ops, and **not
bit-exact** (954/4000 in f32). It would move lane pins.
- **Discovery-yield stratification.** Blocked on new persisted per-source
counters in the engine_state manifest.
- **Band-level capability index.** Blocked on a scoring decision — 25 near-1.0
entries inflate `coverage_geomean` against the index's own anti-gaming claim.
- **`engine_refused` as a standing gate.** Classifier already CI-gated; pinning
a count on an empty bucket is the stale-pin failure mode.
## 7. Open items carried forward
| Item | Kind | Recorded |
|---|---|---|
| Does `core_rs` hold bit-exact parity? | blocked (network policy denies `static.crates.io`) | `cga-hot-path-measurement-2026-07-25.md` §7 |
| Rust typestate `UnverifiedClaim`→`VersorClaim` | blocked on a build | same, §7 |
| Serial-fold `cga_inner` in the search paths | untested (exactness proven, change not made) | same, §6 |
| Audit-ledger **R7** — telemetry sink gets pre-override events | deferred | `docs/specs/runtime_contracts.md` |
| `hash_surface` on `TurnEvent`, or not | undecided | same |
| Arena queue entry + ledger reseal after ratification | deferred by design (bridge rule 1) | `RatificationReceipt.pending_stages` |
| Forgejo zero-length-object claim | unverified from this environment | assessment doc, preamble |
**A non-finding, recorded so it is not re-found.** Mid-arc this brief listed
"three files owed to `smoke.yml`" as blocked work: `test_pack_draft_serve_boundary.py`
plus the two new provenance files sit in the local gate and not in the CI yaml,
which a newly-bidirectional parity assertion flagged as drift.
It is not drift, and the assertion was wrong to exist. Per `AGENTS.md`, GitHub
Actions are billing-locked dead signals, the Forgejo host cannot run workflows
either, and CI is run **manually in-worktree** — which is faster anyway on UMA
hardware with real RAM. `smoke.yml` is secondary observability, not a gate. The
local suite is the source and is free to be broader; asserting the reverse turns
a file nobody executes into a maintenance obligation that agents cannot even
discharge (pushing workflow changes needs an OAuth scope the push credential
lacks).
Reverted the same day, with the reasoning left at the assertion site so the
"completion" is not attempted again. The surviving direction — CI ⊆ local —
still protects something real: if `smoke.yml` ever names a path the local gate
lacks, the local gate is narrower than a published claim about it.
## 8. Gates and their state at close
| Gate | Command | Result |
|---|---|---|
| smoke | `core test --suite smoke -q` | **236 passed** (216 baseline + 20 new) |
| deductive | `core test --suite deductive -q` | **285 passed** |
| workbench-ui | `vitest run` | **598 passed / 73 files**; `tsc -b` clean |
| capability index | `pytest tests/test_capability_*` | **11 passed**, baseline digest unchanged |
| math holdout | `evals/gsm8k_math/holdout_dev/v1/runner.py` | `correct=5 wrong=0 refused=495` |
| proposal/curriculum sweep | `pytest -k "proposal_queue or ratification or curriculum"` | **246 passed** |
| grounding/epistemic sweep | `pytest -k "workbench or epistemic or grounding or …"` | **741 passed, 1 skipped** |
**Environment caveat, and it matters for how much these are worth.** The repo
pins `requires-python == 3.12.13`, which `uv` cannot fetch for
linux-x86_64, so `uv sync --locked` fails. All Python runs above used a scratch
venv on 3.12.11 with the declared deps — **not the locked dependency universe**,
and not the full ~12k suite. The pin was left untouched. Re-run the real gates
on a 3.12.13 host before treating any of this as merged-quality evidence.
## 9. Ground truth corrections for the next opener
1. **`chat/runtime.py:471-481` was stale and is now rewritten.** It argued the
unregistered `deduction` label was "inert today" because REPL turns do not
reach Workbench. True, and irrelevant — Workbench builds a bare
`ChatRuntime()`, so the traffic flows the other way. Live from the moment
the flag was ratified ON. This is the class of staleness nobody greps for:
a comment reasoning from a premise that has since changed.
2. **A second copy of a closed enum is worse than no copy.** The *unregistered*
path degraded honestly (`epistemic_state_needed` = "needs determination").
The hand-copied whitelist asserted a falsehood (`none` = ungrounded). Derive
from the enum; do not restate it.
3. **Silent-drop is correct at serving time and a trap at ratification time.**
`_ratified_rows` dropping unadmissible rows is right when serving. Appending
a row the loader will drop looks identical to appending one that works. Any
future corpus-writing path needs the same confirm-admission discipline.
4. **Do not compare a microbenchmark to a latency figure.** §3's last two rows
are both mine, and both came from reasoning about measurements instead of
taking them. The turn is the denominator.
5. **`assert_corpus_sound` is two functions with one name** —
`evals/deduction_serve/practice/gold.py:1163` (no args, practice corpus) and
`evals/curriculum_serve/runner.py:71` (`domain, cases`, lane contract). Not
a missing contract; a name collision. Worth renaming before a third appears.

# Independent verification of the Tier-S arc assessment (2026-07-25)
**Input:** an external architectural assessment of the deduction-serve generalization arc
(18 numbered observations) plus a synthesized five-pillar execution blueprint built on it.
**Method:** every load-bearing claim re-checked against the tree at `6a06cb2` by reading the
implicated code — and, where possible, by executing it. **Result:** roughly a third of the
blueprint's work items are falsified by the codebase; one flagship item is diagnosed at the wrong
layer; and the most urgent live defect appears in neither document.
The forward-discipline praise is accurate and was confirmed mechanically:
`chat/data/deduction_serve_ledger.json` holds 25 sealed bands / 18,000 cases / `wrong=0`, and
`evals/capability_index/baseline.json` reports breadth 13, `wrong_total=0`,
`assert_mode_valid=true`. What follows concerns only what the assessment proposed to do *next*.
## 1. The live defect neither document names
**Workbench records a proved deduction answer as ungrounded.** Verified by execution, not by
reading:
```
_run_chat_turn('If it rains then the ground is wet. It rains. Therefore the ground is wet.')
surface = 'Given: if it rains then the ground is wet; it rains.
Your premises entail: the ground is wet.'
grounding_source = 'none' <- TurnEvent carried 'deduction'
epistemic_state = 'epistemic_state_needed'
```
The chain:
1. `workbench/api.py:646` — the live HTTP chat route calls `_run_chat_turn(prompt)`.
2. `workbench/api.py:773` — constructs a bare `ChatRuntime()`, i.e. `DEFAULT_CONFIG`.
3. `core/config.py:397``deduction_serving_enabled: bool = True` (ratified ON, 2026-07-24).
4. `chat/runtime.py:1748-1757` — the composer commits and stamps
`TurnEvent.grounding_source = "deduction"`.
5. `workbench/api.py:714-719``_coerce_grounding_source` whitelists
`{pack, teaching, vault, partial, oov, none}` and returns `"none"` for anything else.
`workbench/api.py` contains no occurrence of `"deduction"` or `"curriculum"`.
**Scope of the falsification — one field, not two.** `workbench/api.py:818` prefers
`TurnEvent.epistemic_state` over the grounding-source fallback, and the runtime stamps
`epistemic_state_needed` for the unregistered label. That is honest. So `grounding_source` is
falsified; `epistemic_state` is not.
The asymmetry is the useful part: the *unregistered* path degrades honestly
(`epistemic_state_needed` — "this label needs determination"), while the *hand-copied whitelist*
asserts a falsehood (`none` = ungrounded). The coercion is strictly worse than doing nothing.
**This inverts the assessment's reading.** `chat/runtime.py:477-481` argues the unregistered
literal is "inert today" because "core chat REPL turns do not flow through Workbench's
`CognitivePipelineRecord` path." True, and irrelevant — the traffic flows the other way. Workbench
turns flow through the *deduction* path. That comment has been stale since the flag was ratified ON.
## 2. Falsified items — no session should be spent on these
| Claim | What the code says |
|---|---|
| `parents[n]` audit is "a 30-minute grep with significant payoff" | **Audit run.** 168 `Path(__file__).parents[n]` sites repo-wide; **0** resolve outside the repo root. The `derived_close_proposals.py` bug was isolated. |
| Realizer-guard exemption is undocumented at the guard site | **False.** Documented at *both* sites — `chat/runtime.py:2371-2375`, `:3007-3010` — with the invariant and a worked example (`pack open=VERB` rejecting "the door is not open"). |
| T12 weekly-ledger entry is "completely missing" | **False.** `docs/analysis/weekly-audit-2026-07-22-stragglers-todo.md:170` — an open pattern-watch item. The claim came from grepping commit messages only. |
| `assert_corpus_sound()` has one impl; a second subject must reimplement it | **False.** `evals/curriculum_serve/runner.py:71` is already `assert_corpus_sound(domain, cases)`, and `build_report()` calls it plus `assert_provenance` plus `assert_anti_recall_coverage` unconditionally (`:105-108`). Structural, not discipline-based. |
| Manual promotion sweeps need an automated Promotion Oracle | **Already exists.** `docs/research/tier-s-housekeeping-2026-07-24.md` §3: "*not a one-time manual check… The sweep's proof is the passing gate, not a separate pass.*" `ds-mem-0020` surfaced *as* a lane failure. |
| `accrue_realized_knowledge` is "dark," a closing temporal-consistency window | **Misread.** `core/config.py:316-321` gates **session** memory, is `False` for eval/one-shot runtimes, and is enabled by the production L10 process. A deployment profile, not an epistemic debt clock. |
| Cross-subject proof could "emerge accidentally" | **Structurally impossible.** `curriculum_surface.resolve_domain` requires both terms in one subject's vocabulary and refuses `ambiguous_reading` rather than picking. Deduction has no subject notion at all. |
## 3. The flagship item is diagnosed at the wrong layer
The blueprint states that v5-VP and v6-EX "produce intermediate proof chains" that
`render_entailment_verb` "drops to print a terminal verdict."
`generate/proof_chain/entail.py:125-190` decides entailment by canonicalizing
`(P1 & … & Pn) -> Q` and asking `is_tautology` — a BDD equivalence check, not a derivation.
`EntailmentTrace` (`:79-99`) carries `outcome`, `reason`, and five canonical BDD node keys —
opaque hashes. There are no intermediate steps in the object. The renderers (`render.py:62+`)
already emit every premise plus the verdict.
Nothing is dropped because nothing exists to drop. Multi-step articulation is **engine** work —
proof-term extraction, or a derivation calculus over the ROBDD — with a real soundness surface.
Scoping it as "design the trace object, then write the renderer" would produce a renderer with
nothing to render.
## 4. The "second subject arena" premise
The blueprint orders its work as "harden lateral contracts before spinning up the second subject
arena." `docs/research/curriculum-volume-quantification-2026-07-24.md` §2 measures otherwise:
**11 bands across 4 subjects already route questions today**, every one is 24×73× short of the
entailed-bucket floor, and the document concludes in bold that **no served subject has a family
close enough to flag as "next."**
There is no subject to spin up; the wiring is done. What physics has and the others lack is
ratified content volume. That makes the Ratification Ceremony not a third-tier item but the
binding one.
## 5. Confirmed, but materially rescoped
- **`missing_ok`** — real and narrow. Exactly one production call site passes `True`
(`chat/curriculum_serve_license.py:46`), correctly, because
`chat/data/curriculum_serve_ledger.json` does not exist yet. Default is `False`. A small
manifest closes it.
- **Telemetry spine** — the proposed fix is unimplementable as written. `pipeline.py:799` hashes
`hash_surface`; `runtime.py:1212` stamps the *served* surface; `TurnEvent` never carries
`hash_surface`, so `trace_hash` is not merely divergent from telemetry but **not reconstructable
from it**. Both documents also miss the larger sibling flagged in-code at `runtime.py:1235-1241`:
the external telemetry sink still receives the **pre-override** event (audit-ledger R7).
- **Discovery-yield stratification** — ~4× the implied cost. `teaching/discovery_yield.py:67-70`
reads a single monotonic `turn_count`; there is no per-source counter to stratify on. Requires
new persisted manifest fields. The denominator has always included pack/vault/none turns —
deduction adds to a pre-existing dilution rather than creating it.
- **Band-level capability index**`index.py` scores via `coverage_geomean`. Adding 25 near-1.0
band entries would mechanically inflate the headline `capability_score`, against the index's own
anti-gaming property. Needs a scoring decision before a schema change.
- **`engine_refused` as a standing gate** — `tests/test_vocab_trigger_instrument.py` is already in
the `deductive` suite. The instrument is defined as a before/after admissions counter; promoting
a measurement to a gate means pinning an expected value, which is precisely the stale-exact-pin
failure mode the assessment's own test-freshness item exists to prevent. The two requests collide.
- **`_prior_surface`** — mostly false as diagnosed. `pipeline.py:719` sets
`_prior_surface = hash_surface`, which *is* updated in lockstep with the logos-morph override
(`:526`) and the speculative marker (`:676`); the realizer guard runs upstream. The register
exclusion is deliberate and documented (`:715-717`). A pin is still cheap insurance.
- **Test freshness** — the cited instance was already fixed in `a4d6868` with a docstring
explaining the failure mode. Remaining `== (` assertions in `tests/test_cli_test_suites.py` pin
argv prefixes, which is appropriate. A repo-wide de-pin sweep is low yield.
- **Math Phase 4.2 case-first** — fully accurate, and the one strategic item both documents get
right. Adopt `docs/research/math-reader-phase-4-1-status-2026-07-24.md` verbatim.
## 6. The Apple Silicon / MLX substrate blueprint
A companion document proposes five bare-metal optimizations. Both of its foundational premises are
contradicted by this repo's own measured report.
- *"MLX executes tensor operations on the Neural Engine"* is `README.md:82` — a design aspiration.
`evals/reports/apple_uma_mechanical_sympathy_latest.md` §10 explicitly disclaims it: "No MLX
semantic-backend claim. No Neural Engine acceleration claim. No CoreML acceleration claim."
MLX appears in exactly two files, both under `benchmarks/`. **No MLX in any runtime path.**
- *"Rust remains the incumbent native algebra backend"*`algebra/backend.py:6-8`: "Pure Python is
the deterministic default. Rust is an explicit opt-in backend via `CORE_BACKEND=rust`." The
benchmark run records `core_rs import: False`, `using_rust(): False`, status `python_fallback`.
The algebra is running in pure Python/NumPy. The document proposes GPU shader work for a layer
that has not switched on the CPU kernel it already wrote — `core-rs/src/cl41.rs` already hardcodes

| Proposal | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Rust typestate (`UnverifiedClaim` → `VersorClaim`) | **Adopt.** No `PhantomData`/typestate anywhere in the tree — greenfield, not "recently explored." The only proposal with zero determinism cost, and it needs no GPU. |
| SoA memory layout | **Resequence.** AoS confirmed (`vault.rs:111,149`). But the copy truth-table names the marshalling copy as the cost (`extract_f32_slice`, `lib.rs:348`), while batch paths are already zero-copy (`lib.rs:282`). SoA pays off only after zero-copy scalar bindings. |
| Custom sparse `.metal` Cl(4,1) kernel | **Premature.** The table exists. Rust is off by default *for determinism*; a GPU kernel makes determinism harder. Per `AGENTS.md:276` the `ubuntu-latest:host` label is native macOS on one machine, so a shader would have a single validation host against a local-first merge bar. |
| MLX lazy kernel fusion of the versor invariant | **Blocked on doctrine.** JIT fusion reassociates float ops; `versor_condition < 1e-6` is a non-negotiable (`algebra/versor.py:100`) and `core-rs/tests/test_crdt_hash_parity.rs` pins bit-exact parity. Needs a ratifying ADR, not a ticket. |
| bfloat16 asymmetric precision routing | **Reject as specified.** bf16 ε ≈ 7.8e-3 — four orders coarser than the 1e-6 gate; upcasting inside the shader cannot recover bits lost at storage. `cga.rs:embed_point_raw` computes `0.5*(r²∓1)`, cancellation-prone at bf16 for r ≈ 1 — exactly the unit-normalized regime. |
The actionable question the document missed: **why is `CORE_BACKEND=rust` not the default?**
Establish whether `core_rs` still holds bit-exact parity. (Attempted 2026-07-25 and **blocked**:
`cargo` cannot reach `static.crates.io` under the sandbox network policy. The question stays open
— the measurement above just removes the urgency the performance argument was supplying.)
None of this is on the critical path of the arc that just closed — FrameVerdict TTFV is 0.151 ms
with `producer=proof_chain.entail`, and the deduction/curriculum serving path is pure-Python ROBDD
that never touches CGA.
## 7. Resulting order of work
1. **Stop the provenance falsification.** Red test; register `deduction`/`curriculum` in
`core/epistemic_state.py` + the TS contract in one commit (`enumCoverage.test.ts` already forces
atomicity); derive `_coerce_grounding_source`'s whitelist from the enum rather than a hand-copied
set; delete the stale comment at `chat/runtime.py:471-481`.
2. **Build the Ratification Ceremony** — `proposal → chain record → corpus commit → arena queue
entry → ledger reseal`, reusing `core/ratified_ledger.py`'s sealers and the `core proposal-queue`
CLI, with the vocab-trigger admissions delta as the acceptance metric.
3. **Batch the cheap closures**`missing_ok` manifest; telemetry contract documented honestly
plus audit-ledger R7 raised; the `_prior_surface` pin; deductive suite into the pre-push gate;
ADR domain index and an arc-close brief template.
4. **Math Phase 4.2 case-first**, in parallel — cases `0000`/`0001`/`0148`/`0082`, no
`NEUTRAL_COUNT_VERBS` growth (ADR-0251).
5. **Substrate track**, behind the above — Rust-default parity question, then typestate.
Deferred with stated reasons: multi-step articulation (re-scope as engine work), yield
stratification (blocked on manifest counters), band-level index (blocked on a scoring decision),
`engine_refused` gate (bucket empty), cross-subject ADR (`resolve_domain` fails closed).

# Where the per-turn CGA cost actually is — measured, 2026-07-25
**Result:** the substrate-performance premise in circulation (mine and an
external hardware blueprint's) was wrong. `versor_condition` is **0.22%** of a
turn. The real cost is `cga_inner``geometric_product` at **33,986 calls per
turn, ~73% of turn time**, driven by nearest-neighbour and salience search.
The obvious algebraic shortcut is **not** bit-safe and must not ship. A
different, already-ratified pattern in this repo **is** bit-exact and is the
correct target.
## 1. What was claimed
Two claims were in play going into this measurement, and both were reasoned
from microbenchmarks rather than from a turn:
1. An external Apple-Silicon blueprint proposed custom `.metal` Cl(4,1)
kernels, SoA layouts, MLX kernel-fusion of the versor invariant, and
bfloat16 routing — arguing the CPU is the bottleneck.
2. My own assessment claimed `versor_condition` is the hot spot: three calls
per turn × the benchmark report's `p50 = 0.536 ms` ≈ 1.6 ms/turn, "~10× the
entire proof latency."
Claim 2 is **wrong**, and it is worth naming the error precisely because it is
easy to repeat: it multiplies an *isolated microbenchmark* by a call count and
compares the product against `FrameVerdict` TTFV (0.151 ms) — which is the
latency of a single proof verdict, not of a turn. Those are not comparable
quantities. The correct denominator is the turn.
## 2. Direct measurement
`versor_condition` wrapped in a counter, three real `ChatRuntime.chat()` turns:
```
turns : 3
versor_condition calls : 9 (3.0 per turn)
time inside it : 1.34 ms total (0.448 ms/turn)
total chat() wall : 601.5 ms (200.5 ms/turn)
share of turn : 0.22%
```
The call count (3/turn) was right. The cost conclusion was not. **Switching the
Rust backend on would recover 0.22% of a turn through this path.** That is not
a reason to do it, and it removes the only quantified justification the
substrate track had.
## 3. Where the time actually goes
`cProfile`, three turns, post-warmup:
| calls | tottime | cumtime | function |
|---:|---:|---:|---|
| 3 | 0.001 | 2.242 | `chat/runtime.py::chat` |
| **33,986** | **1.631** | 1.656 | **`algebra/cl41.py::geometric_product`** |
| 16,418 | 0.029 | 1.608 | `algebra/cga.py::cga_inner` |
| 24 | 0.009 | 1.156 | `generate/proposition.py::_nearest_by_cga` |
| 3 | 0.023 | 0.626 | `generate/salience.py::compute` |
| 4,577 | 0.003 | 0.458 | `algebra/backend.py::cga_inner` |
So the CGA algebra **is** the dominant per-turn cost — roughly 73% — but
through `cga_inner` in nearest-neighbour and salience search, not through the
versor invariant. Both documents aimed at the wrong function.
The multiplier is structural. `algebra/cga.py::cga_inner` is:
```python
XY = geometric_product(X, Y)
YX = geometric_product(Y, X)
return 0.5 * scalar_part(XY + YX)
```
Two full 32×32 products — ~2,048 multiply-adds — to read **one scalar**. At
16,418 calls per turn that is the entire profile.
## 4. The tempting shortcut, and why it must not ship
`algebra/backend.py` already documents the closed form: for Cl(p,q) basis
blades `e_i * e_j` is scalar only when `i == j`, so
```
cga_inner(X, Y) == sum_i metric[i] * X[i] * Y[i]
```
32 multiply-adds instead of 2,048. Tested against the scalar path, 4,000 random
pairs per dtype, using `np.sum`:
```
float32: bit-exact 954/4000 worst-rel 1.037e-04
float64: bit-exact 929/4000 worst-rel 2.283e-13
```
**Not bit-exact.** A 1e-4 relative divergence in f32 would move surfaces that
`trace_hash` folds, break the committed lane SHA pins, and violate the
Rust/Python parity contract (`core-rs/tests/test_crdt_hash_parity.rs`). This is
the same class of error as proposing bfloat16 against a `1e-6` versor gate:
mathematically identical, numerically not.
## 5. The pattern that *is* exact
The divergence above is not the identity's fault — it is the *reduction order*.
`np.sum` reduces pairwise. `algebra/backend.py::vault_recall` folds serially in
component order:
```python
scores = np.zeros(M.shape[0], dtype=np.float32)
for i in range(M.shape[1]):
scores += (_CGA_INNER_METRIC[i] * M[:, i]) * q[i]
```
Its docstring claims this is "bit-identical to the scalar `cga_inner` path
because the per-versor sum is folded in the same serial component order
(ADR-0019 Stage 1)". Tested directly, 3,000 random f32 pairs:
```
serial-fold vs scalar cga_inner (f32): bit-exact 3000/3000 worst-rel 0.000e+00
```
**The claim holds exactly.** So this repo already contains a proven, ratified,
bit-exact vectorization of the very operation that dominates the profile —
scoring one query against N versors without a Python-level product loop.
## 6. The actual next step
Apply the `vault_recall` serial-fold pattern to the nearest-neighbour search
paths that dominate the profile — `generate/proposition.py::_nearest_by_cga`
and `generate/salience.py::compute` — which today call scalar `cga_inner` in a
Python loop over candidates.
Why this is the right target:
- **No GPU, no Metal, no MLX, no Rust, no new numerics.** Nothing in the
determinism doctrine has to move.
- **The exactness is proven, not assumed** (§5), and the acceptance test is
falsifiable and cheap: N turns before/after must produce byte-identical
surfaces and identical `trace_hash` values.
- It attacks 73% of turn time rather than 0.22%.
**Not done in this session, deliberately.** These functions feed articulation,
and the local-first merge bar is the full suite; this session could run curated
suites only (see §7). The measurement and the exactness proof are the expensive
parts and they are done — the change itself should land where it can be gated
properly.
## 7. What could not be verified here, and why
`cargo test` in `core-rs/` **could not run**: the sandbox network policy denies
`static.crates.io` (the proxy's `noProxy` list covers `index.crates.io`, so the
sparse index resolves but crate tarballs 403 at the gateway). No crates are
cached. So:
- **"Does `core_rs` still hold bit-exact parity?"** — the question the plan put
first, and the one the hardware blueprint skipped — remains **open**. It is
still the right question; §2 just removes the urgency the performance
argument was supplying.
- **The Rust typestate lane (`UnverifiedClaim` → `VersorClaim`)** was not
written. It is still the strongest of the blueprint's five proposals — the
only one with no determinism cost, and it needs no GPU — but shipping Rust
that cannot be compiled or tested in the session that wrote it is not
something to do. It carries forward unchanged.
Python measurements above ran on a scratch venv at 3.12.11; the repo pins
`==3.12.13`, which `uv` cannot fetch for linux-x86_64. The pin was left
untouched.
## 8. Standing verdicts on the blueprint's five items
Unchanged by this measurement except where noted.
| Proposal | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Rust typestate | **Adopt** — carried forward, blocked only on a build. |
| SoA layouts | **Resequence** — and now further down: the copy boundary is not what the profile shows. |
| Custom sparse `.metal` Cl(4,1) kernel | **Premature**, and now *doubly* so: there is a bit-exact CPU win (§56) available before any GPU question is live. |
| MLX lazy kernel fusion of the versor invariant | **Rejected on target selection**, additionally to the doctrine objection: the function it fuses is 0.22% of a turn. |
| bfloat16 asymmetric precision | **Reject** — §4 is the empirical form of the same argument at a *much* coarser epsilon. |

# Math Phase 4.2 — case-first traces for 0000 / 0001 / 0148 / 0082
**Baseline reproduced:** `holdout_dev: correct=5 wrong=0 refused=495 (n=500)`
unchanged from the 2026-07-24 measurement, five days and one arc later.
**Deliverable:** the per-case trace `math-reader-phase-4-1-status-2026-07-24.md`
asked for, plus a corpus-frequency measurement that **changes the
recommendation**. All four named cases are blocked by surface gaps that are
among the *rarest* in the 500. Building for them is the overfit move ADR-0251
prohibits — and this document is the first time that has been quantified rather
than argued.
**Nothing was changed in the reader.** See §5.
## 1. Where all four refuse — one seam
Every one of the four fails at the same place, with the same shape of message:
```
candidate_graph: recognizer matched but produced no injection for statement:
'<first statement>' (category=...)
```
Traced through `generate.recognizer_match.match(statement, registry)`:
| case | category assigned | `parsed_anchors` | injection |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0000 | `DISCRETE_COUNT_STATEMENT` | `()` | `()` |
| 0001 | `DISCRETE_COUNT_STATEMENT` | `()` | `()` |
| 0148 | `DESCRIPTIVE_SETUP_NO_QUANTITY` | `()` | `()` |
| 0082 | `DISCRETE_COUNT_STATEMENT` | `()` | `()` |
So the recognizer **classifies** each statement and then extracts **no grounded
anchor**. `_is_comparative_multiplicative_v1_surface` is `False` for all four,
so none of them ever reaches `inject_comparative_multiplicative` — the injector
that would handle "twice as many X as Y". The gate is
`_COMPARE_MULT_ANCHOR_RE` (`generate/math_candidate_parser.py:1229`), anchored
`^…$`, so it must match the **whole** statement:
```
^(?P<actor>ENTITY)\s+VERB\s+(?:a\s+)?(?P<anchor>twice|thrice|half|quarter|third)
\s+as\s+many\s+(?P<unit>\w+(?:\s+\w+)?)\s+as\s+(?P<reference>REF)\s*\.?$
```
## 2. Gap isolation — one variable at a time
Each gap isolated by mutating a known-good baseline in exactly one dimension.
This is the evidence, not the regex reading:
| probe | matches | isolates |
|---|---|---|
| `Aria has twice as many credits as Emily.` | **YES** | baseline |
| `… as many school credits as …` (2-word unit) | **YES** | unit slot admits 2 |
| `… as many high school credits as …` (3-word) | no | **unit slot caps at 2 words** |
| `… as many pounds of lobster as …` | no | **`of`-headed unit phrase** |
| `… as many credits than Emily.` | no | **`than` connector** |
| `… as Emily, who has twice … as Spencer.` | no | **trailing relative clause** |
| `At a station, Aria has twice …` | no | **leading adjunct** |
| `The number of people was twice the total number counted.` | no | **copula + bare `twice the N`** |
| `Mary has twice the amount of carrots as green beans.` | no | **`twice the amount of X as Y`** |
| `… as many credits as the two other students combined.` | no | **aggregate reference** |
## 3. Per-case traces
### Case 0000 — `expected 140.0`
> Aria has twice as many high school credits as Emily, who has twice the number
> of high school credits as Spencer. If Emily has 20 credits, what's twice the
> total number of high school credits the three have?
Blocked by **two** gaps in one sentence: a 3-word unit (`high school credits`)
and a trailing relative clause carrying a *second* comparative. Solving needs a
chained resolution (Emily=20 → Spencer=10, Aria=40), a summation (70), and a
final ×2 on the aggregate. **Four capabilities.**
### Case 0001 — `expected 480.0`
> Hooper Bay has twice as many pounds of lobster than the two other harbors
> combined. If the other two harbors have 80 pounds of lobster each, how many
> pounds of lobster are the three harbors holding?
Blocked by **four** gaps: `than` where the template requires `as`; an
`of`-headed unit (`pounds of lobster`); an aggregate reference (`the two other
harbors combined`); and a multi-token proper name —
`extract_proper_noun_subject` returns `'Hooper'`, not `'Hooper Bay'`, which
alone would fail the injector's narrow actor binding (`actor != actor_token`).
### Case 0148 — `expected 1500.0`
> At a people counting station, the number of people counted on the first day
> was twice the total number counted on the second day. If 500 people were
> counted on the second day, how many people were counted on the two days?
The only one classified `DESCRIPTIVE_SETUP_NO_QUANTITY` — the recognizer does
not see a count statement at all. Three gaps: a leading adjunct; a noun-phrase
quantity as subject (`the number of people counted on the first day`) rather
than an entity; and a copula + bare `twice the total number` form with no
`as many … as` at all.
### Case 0082 — `expected 2.0`
> Mary uses plastic grocery bags that can hold a maximum of twenty pounds. She
> buys 4 pounds of green beans, 6 pounds milk, and twice the amount of carrots
> as green beans. How many more pounds of groceries can Mary fit in that bag?
The refusing statement is not the comparative at all — it is the **capacity**
frame (`bags that can hold a maximum of twenty pounds`), a relative-clause
capacity assertion with a spelled-out cardinal. The comparative arrives in the
next sentence in the `twice the amount of X as Y` form. Then the question wants
capacity Σ(4, 6, 8). **Four capabilities**, none of which is the v1 template.
## 4. The measurement that changes the recommendation
Frequency of each blocking surface feature across all 500 holdout cases:
| surface feature | cases | % of 500 |
|---|---:|---:|
| aggregate reference (`combined` / `together` / `altogether`) | **53** | 10.6% |
| leading adjunct (`At/In/On/During …,`) | **28** | 5.6% |
| `twice/N times as many … as` (any unit width) | 29 | 5.8% |
| `twice the number/amount/total of` | **13** | 2.6% |
| copula + `was/is twice` | **13** | 2.6% |
| capacity frame (`hold` / `maximum of` / `capacity`) | 14 | 2.8% |
| — of the 29, unit is >2 words | **1** | **0.2%** |
| — of the 29, connector is `than` | **2** | **0.4%** |
**The gap blocking case 0000 affects one case in five hundred. The `than` gap
blocking case 0001 affects two.**
That is the whole finding. "Widen the unit slot from two words to three" and
"admit `than` alongside `as`" are precisely the per-case pattern growth ADR-0251
and `reader-arc-overfit-inventory-2026-07-19.md` exist to prohibit — and until
now the prohibition rested on a prior about overfitting. It now rests on a count.
The forms that actually recur are different ones: aggregate reference (53),
leading adjunct (28), `twice the number/amount of` (13), copula-twice (13).
**Honest limit on these numbers.** They are *surface-feature* counts, not
conversion estimates. A case containing `combined` is not thereby convertible —
§3 shows every one of these problems needs three or four capabilities at once,
so a case can carry a frequent feature and still strand on the other three.
The counts bound the opportunity; they do not predict yield. Treating them as
yield is the exact error the arc already made once, when tune-set parse-rate
gain was read as capability and shipped answers that were *wrong* on the exam.
## 5. What was deliberately not done
**No reader change was made.** The plan's Lane 4 exit criterion is the traces
plus `wrong=0` holding, not a shipped extension, and three things argue against
shipping one from this session:
1. §4 shows the named cases' gaps are the rarest in the corpus. Building them
is the prohibited move, now with a number attached.
2. The sealed 1,319-case test split is the final arbiter and must not be read.
A change justified only by movement on the open dev set has exactly the
evidentiary shape ADR-0251 was written against.
3. The four cases are each 34 capabilities deep. There is no "minimum reader
extension" that converts one of them — which is itself the strongest form of
the arc's own conclusion that *real GSM8K statements are individually
multi-capability*.
`wrong=0` still holds: `correct=5 wrong=0 refused=495`.
## 6. Recommendation
Phase 4.2 as scoped — case-first on 0000/0001/0148/0082 — should be recorded
as **traced and declined**, not attempted. The tracing was the right
instruction; its result is that these four are the wrong four.
If the reader arc resumes, the measured entry point is **aggregate reference**
(53 cases, 10.6%) — the single most common blocking surface in the corpus, and
the one whose semantics (`the two other harbors combined` → Σ over a named
complement set) is a genuine compositional capability rather than a template
widening. Scope it the same way this document scopes: isolate the gap, count
its reach, and require that the conversion evidence be a *capability* argument,
not a parse-rate delta.

# The register matrix was red on main for 99 registers — and the invariant was fine
**Result:** `801 passed, 0 failed` across all 99 ratified register packs, from
99 failures on clean `main`. No behaviour changed; a field was made observable.
## 1. What was red, and what was not
`tests/test_cognition_eval_register_matrix.py` had **99 failures on pristine
`main`** (confirmed in a worktree at `origin/main`), every one of them
`test_register_matrix_canonical_surface_byte_identical`.
`test_register_matrix_trace_hash_invariant` — the load-bearing ADR-0072
truth-path-isolation claim — **passed throughout**. That is the decisive fact:
`trace_hash` folds `hash_surface`, so a genuine leak into the truth path would
have moved it. It never did. The seals, `wrong=0`, and the register-invariance
guarantee were never compromised.
## 2. Why the test was wrong
Its docstring asserted that `CognitiveTurnResult.surface` is *"the pre-decoration
/ canonical composer output (the truth-path field `compute_trace_hash`
consumes)"*.
That stopped being true on 2026-07-23. Phase 0 flipped `resolve_surface` to
response-first precedence and introduced `SurfaceResolution.hash_surface` as the
register-invariant capture. After it:
- `core/cognition/pipeline.py` folds **`hash_surface`** into `compute_trace_hash`
- `core/cognition/result.py:59` documents `surface` as *"final voiced surface
(what the user sees)"*
So the test demanded that registers **not** differ on the served surface — the
opposite of what the register axis exists for, and a direct contradiction of
`tests/test_register_substantive_consumption.py`, which pins that they **do**
differ and is green in `smoke`. Two tests on `main` asserting opposite things
about the same bytes.
Measured at the seam:
```
register=None surface = 'Truth is what is true. pack-grounded (…).'
hash_surface = 'Truth is what is true. pack-grounded (…).'
register=socratic_v1 surface = 'Consider the question: Truth is what is true…'
hash_surface = 'Truth is what is true. pack-grounded (…).'
```
`surface` varies. `hash_surface` does not. Exactly the contract.
## 3. Root cause: the invariant was unobservable
`hash_surface` was **pipeline-local**. Nothing downstream could see the field
that actually carries the guarantee, so the test reached for the nearest visible
surface and drifted the moment their contracts diverged. The fix is to expose it:
- `CognitiveTurnResult.hash_surface` — new field, from the value the pipeline
already computed
- `evals/metrics.py::CaseResult.hash_surface` — carried through the eval harness
- the test asserts byte-identity on `hash_surface`
No stored baseline to regenerate; the fixture computes it live.
## 4. Why it stayed red
This file is in neither `smoke` nor `deductive`. Nothing local ran it, and CI
does not exist — GitHub Actions are billing-locked dead signals and the Forgejo
host cannot run workflows. It was only findable by running the whole tree, which
until `scripts/ci/local-ci.sh` nothing made easy.
Fourth silent-red of this arc, after the stale exact-tuple pin (S5), the lane
roster, and the proposal-sink leak.
## 5. A wrong turn worth recording
The first attempt added the field to `evals/cognition/runner.py::CaseResult`.
The test imports `run_eval` from `evals/run_cognition_eval.py`, which builds
`evals/metrics.py::CaseResult` — a different class of the same name. **Thirteen
files in this repo define a `CaseResult`.** Matching on the class name instead
of following the import produced `AttributeError` inside `_diff_rows` and took
the count from 99 to 100. Follow the import.
## 6. Verification
```
tests/test_cognition_eval_register_matrix.py 801 passed, 0 failed (17m50s)
— including test_register_matrix_trace_hash_invariant across all 99 registers
capability index + eval harness 23 passed
```
`evals/metrics.py::CaseResult` gained a **defaulted** field; its only other
consumers (`calibration/tune.py`, `calibration/replay.py`) read it and never
construct it, so no constructor breaks.

### `trace_hash` is not reconstructable from `TurnEvent`
This is a contract, not a defect, and it is stated here because the two fields

- `compute_trace_hash` folds **`hash_surface`** — the register-invariant
truth-path capture (ADR-0069 inv C, ADR-0077 R6). Register decoration must
not move the truth-path identity, so the hash deliberately does not see the
bytes the user read.
- `finalize_turn_surface` (T13, 2026-07-22) back-stamps the **served** surface
onto `TurnEvent`, because the telemetry record must show what the user
actually saw — the `warmed_session_consistency` invariant.
These serve different invariants and are correct to differ. `TurnEvent` does
not carry `hash_surface`, so a consumer holding only telemetry **cannot**
recompute `trace_hash`; it will silently get a different value on any turn
carrying register decoration. Recomputation is not a supported operation.
Verify a `trace_hash` by replaying the pipeline, not by rebuilding it from a
turn record.
**Open, tracked as audit-ledger R7.** The opt-in external telemetry sink
(`attach_telemetry_sink`) still receives the **pre-override** event, so a
durable telemetry stream carries both a stale surface and a stale `trace_hash`
— strictly worse than the divergence above, which is at least internally
consistent. `chat/runtime.py::finalize_turn_surface` records the limitation at
the site. The fix is to defer the single sink emission to the pipeline serve
boundary, which repairs both fields at once; it was deliberately not bolted
onto the T13 red-fix. The default sink is `None`, so no default deployment is
affected today.
### Grounding-source registration
`core.epistemic_state.GroundingSource` is the single source of truth. Adding a
value is a three-part change that must land together:
1. the `Literal` in `core/epistemic_state.py`, plus its
`epistemic_state_for_grounding_source` arm;
2. `workbench-ui/enum-snapshot.json` (regenerate: `pnpm enum:snapshot`);
3. the UI badge contract — `badges/types.ts`, `badges/mappings.ts`, a design
token, and `types/api.ts`.
`workbench-ui`'s `enumCoverage.test.ts` fails the build if (1) and (3) diverge,
which is what makes this atomic rather than aspirational.
`deduction` (ADR-0256) and `curriculum` (ADR-0262) were served for a period
before being registered, on the reasoning that REPL turns do not reach
Workbench. The traffic flows the other way: `workbench/api.py`'s chat route
builds a bare `ChatRuntime()`, so those composers decide Workbench turns too,
and the API's coercion floored the unregistered labels to `"none"` — recording
a proved answer as ungrounded in a durable audit artifact. Registering a
grounding source is therefore part of shipping the composer that emits it, not
a follow-up. Pinned by `tests/test_workbench_deduction_provenance.py`.

#
# AGENTS.md: "The real CI is local-first. Run validation in the worktree...
# Do not treat remote Actions / Docker job containers as the merge gate."
# This script is that runner — one entry point for the gate tiers, usable on
# any host, with an honest statement of which interpreter produced the result.

#
# WHY THIS EXISTS
# ---------------
# `pyproject.toml` pins `requires-python == "3.12.13"` — an EXACT patch
# version. On a host that does not have precisely 3.12.13, `uv sync --locked`
# fails outright and every gate becomes unrunnable. For a project whose merge
# bar IS the local run, an unrunnable local gate is the failure mode that
# matters most: it is how `tests/test_lane_sha_verifier.py` sat red on clean
# main from the deduction-serve arc until 2026-07-25 with nobody noticing.
#
# THE INTERPRETER CONTRACT (the part to read before trusting a green run)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# The pinned interpreter is CANONICAL. A run on any other interpreter is
# NON-CANONICAL and this script says so, loudly, on every such run.
#
# Fallback is opt-in, never automatic — the same discipline as
# `core.ratified_ledger`'s `missing_ok`: a degraded mode is legitimate, and a
# degraded mode that reports itself as the real thing is not. Default is
# fail-closed with instructions.
#
# --allow-interpreter-fallback run on any 3.12.x, stamped NON-CANONICAL
#
# Measured note, so the flag is not cargo-culted: on 2026-07-25 the full
# committed-SHA / trace_hash / content_sha256 / lane-SHA pin set (119 tests)
# was run on 3.12.11 and 118 passed — the single failure was a stale lane
# roster that fails on 3.12.13 too. That is evidence the exact pin is not
# load-bearing for bit-exactness, NOT a ruling that it should be relaxed.

"""teaching/ratification.py — the curriculum ratification ceremony.
The discovery loop is instrumented but not closed. Proposals flow into
``teaching/proposals/`` and a human can read them via ``core proposal-queue
review``, but `review_log.jsonl` explicitly *never* ratifies it records that
someone looked. Nothing converts a reviewed proposal into a ratified chain, so
the loop terminates in a human decision that produces no artifact.
That gap is the binding constraint. Curriculum serving is OFF because no band
can earn a license from present volume (ADR-0262 §5) every one of the eleven
live bands is 24×73× short of the entailed-bucket floor and the only way
volume grows is one ratified chain at a time.
This module is the code-bound ceremony: **a reviewed decision produces a chain
record, a corpus commit, and a receipt that proves the chain is actually
routable.**
Why the last clause is the whole design
---------------------------------------
``teaching.curriculum_premises._ratified_rows`` DROPS every row it cannot
admit wrong ``review_status``, wrong domain, empty terms, a term absent from
its declared pack, a connective outside ``CONNECTIVE_FAMILY``. It drops
silently, by ``continue``, because at *serving* time that is right: a curriculum
must never route on a row it cannot license.
At *ratification* time the same silence is a trap. Appending a row that the
loader will drop looks exactly like appending a row that works: the file grows,
the commit lands, the band count does not move, and nobody learns why for weeks.
So this ceremony refuses to call an append a ratification until it has re-read
the curriculum through the real loader and observed the chain arrive. Validation
is a pre-flight courtesy; **admission is the proof**.
Scope, deliberately narrow
--------------------------
Nothing here decides *whether* a proposal is true. It cannot auto-ratify, has no
opinion on content, and requires a human-supplied reviewer identity and rationale
on every call. It converts an already-made decision into the artifacts that
decision implies which is precisely what was missing.
The two downstream stages of the full ceremony, arena queue entry and ledger
reseal, are intentionally NOT performed here. Both are sealed-practice outputs,
and bridge rule 1 is that nothing outside a practice run may write a ledger
(``core.ratified_ledger``). :func:`ratify_chain` returns the receipt those
stages consume; running them stays an explicit, separate operator step.

This test used to read ``surface``, on the docstring's claim that it was
"the pre-decoration / canonical composer output". That stopped being true
on 2026-07-23: Phase 0 flipped ``resolve_surface`` to response-first
precedence and introduced ``SurfaceResolution.hash_surface`` as the
register-invariant capture, so ``pipeline.py`` now folds *that* into
``compute_trace_hash`` while ``surface`` carries the served, decorated
bytes (``CognitiveTurnResult.surface``: "final voiced surface (what the
user sees)").
Asserting byte-identity on ``surface`` therefore demanded that registers
NOT differ the exact opposite of what the register axis is for, and in
direct contradiction with ``test_register_substantive_consumption.py``,
which pins that they DO differ and is green in smoke. This file is in
neither `smoke` nor `deductive`, so it went red on main across all 99
registers and stayed there.
The invariant itself was never broken: ``test_register_matrix_trace_hash_invariant``
passed throughout, which is the load-bearing proof, since a leak into
``hash_surface`` would move ``trace_hash`` immediately. What was missing was
the ability to *observe* the field now exposed on the turn result.

"""Correction binding anchors to the truth path, including on deduction turns.
``CognitiveTurnPipeline`` remembers one surface per turn so the *next* turn can
be read as a correction of it (``_run_teaching`` ``extract_correction``).
Which bytes it remembers is an epistemic choice, pinned here:
``pipeline.py`` sets ``self._prior_surface = hash_surface`` the register-
invariant truth-path capture (ADR-0069 inv C), not the served surface. A
register pack that decorates or terses the served bytes therefore cannot
perturb what a correction binds to, which is what keeps teaching independent
of presentation.
The subtlety worth pinning is that "truth path" is not "pre-correction". The
Phase 0 register fix threads ``hash_surface`` through every *substantive*
override logos-morph refusal, the speculative marker so when one of those
fires, ``_prior_surface`` holds the post-override bytes the truth path
actually settled on. It is only the presentation layer that is excluded.
An architectural review of the deduction-serve arc flagged this as an untested
gap and predicted the opposite behaviour (that a correction on a deduction turn
would anchor to stale pre-correction bytes). These tests were written to check
that claim. It does not reproduce the lockstep holds so what they pin is
the behaviour that is actually there, on the deduction path that went live with
ADR-0256, so it cannot drift unobserved.

"""Workbench must record the grounding source it was actually served.
The deduction-serve arc ratified ``deduction_serving_enabled`` ON by default
(ADR-0256, 2026-07-24). ``workbench/api.py``'s live chat route builds a bare
``ChatRuntime()``, so a deduction-shaped prompt through Workbench is decided by
the ROBDD entailment engine and stamped ``grounding_source="deduction"`` on the
``TurnEvent`` exactly like the REPL path.
Before this file existed, ``_coerce_grounding_source`` carried a hand-copied
whitelist of the six pre-arc labels and silently rewrote everything else to
``"none"``. A proved, SERVE-licensed answer was therefore recorded in the
journal, the evidence bundle, and the pipeline record as *ungrounded*. Not a
crash and not a dropped turn: a durable audit artifact asserting something
false about a turn the engine had decided.
The asymmetry that makes this worth pinning: the *unregistered* path degraded
honestly ``epistemic_state_for_grounding_source`` returns
``EPISTEMIC_STATE_NEEDED`` for a label it does not know, which reads "this
needs determination". The *coercion* asserted ``none`` = ungrounded. A
second, hand-maintained copy of a closed enum is worse than no copy at all,
so the tests here pin both halves: the values are registered, and the
whitelist is derived from the registration rather than restated beside it.
