`ChatRuntime.correct()` propagates a backward perturbation through the
session graph (per session/correction.py): each past turn whose output
versor has non-trivial CGA-alignment with the correction versor is
blended toward it (decayed by graph distance).  The forward regen turn
that followed already emitted a TurnEvent — but the backward
perturbation itself was invisible to the telemetry sink.

ADR-0059 closes that gap with a discriminated event line.

- chat/telemetry.py — adds `serialize_correction_event` +
  `format_correction_event_jsonl` emitting one JSONL line discriminated
  by `"type": "correction"`.  Payload: target_turn, records_count,
  turns_skipped, turn_idxs_affected, max_delta_norm, mean_delta_norm,
  SHA-256 correction_versor_digest, pack ids.  No raw versor coordinates.
- chat/runtime.py — `_emit_correction_event` (mirrors
  `_emit_turn_event`); called from `correct()` after the graph state
  is updated but before the forward regen turn.  No-op without sink.
- tests/test_correction_telemetry.py — 7 tests pin: no-op without
  sink, emission with sink, payload shape (required keys + types +
  ranges), SHA-256 digest shape, trust boundary (no versor
  coordinates leaked), determinism (byte-identical lines across
  runs), correction event and turn event coexist in the sink.

Trust boundary (per CLAUDE.md):
  - Metadata-only: only L2 deltas + SHA-256 digest.
  - No implicit wall-clock.
  - Deterministic: same CorrectionResult → byte-identical line.
  - Sink contract unchanged: `emit(line: str)`.
  - `versor_condition < 1e-6` invariant: untouched (telemetry-only).

Verification: smoke 67 / runtime 19 / correction telemetry 7 — green.

+# ADR-0059 — Correction-Pass Telemetry Emission
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-05-18
+**Author:** Shay
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+`ChatRuntime.correct(text, target_turn=-1)` propagates a backward
+perturbation through the session graph: each past turn whose output
+versor has non-trivial CGA-alignment with the correction versor is
+blended toward it (decayed by graph distance).  The mechanism is
+documented in `session/correction.py`; `CorrectionPass.apply()`
+returns a `CorrectionResult` carrying:
+
+- `records: tuple[CorrectionRecord, ...]` — per-turn old/new versors,
+  alignment, decay, blend weight, distance from the correction-origin.
+- `turns_affected: int`
+- `turns_skipped: int`
+
+The forward regen turn that follows `correct()` emits its own
+`TurnEvent` via the existing telemetry sink.  But the **backward
+perturbation itself** — which past turns moved, by how much, and
+toward what — was invisible to the telemetry sink.
+
+That gap matters for the audit story:
+
+- The session graph's state changed *between* turn events.  A future
+  replay of the session would see two turn events whose deltas don't
+  add up unless the audit consumer knows a correction happened.
+- The ADR-0055..0057 reviewed-corpus story rests on **every state
+  change** being inspectable.  A backward correction that no sink
+  records is a structurally invisible mutation.
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+Emit one JSONL line per `correct()` invocation, discriminated by
+`"type": "correction"`, to the existing telemetry sink.  Same sink
+contract as `TurnEvent`; new event type alongside.
+
+### Payload
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "correction",
+  "target_turn": -1,
+  "identity_pack_id": "default_general_v1",
+  "safety_pack_id": "core_safety_axes_v1",
+  "ethics_pack_id": "default_general_ethics_v1",
+  "records_count": 1,
+  "turns_skipped": 0,
+  "turn_idxs_affected": [1],
+  "max_delta_norm": 1.3337411880493164,
+  "mean_delta_norm": 1.3337411880493164,
+  "correction_versor_digest": "e7e98af75ff6b4475807ed66f0672ec0cfab6f205896f8e626fc1490026ed597"
+}
+```
+
+- `records_count` / `turns_skipped` — how many turns were perturbed
+  vs filtered by the minimum-alignment threshold.
+- `turn_idxs_affected` — sorted tuple of affected turn indices.
+  Lets a downstream consumer correlate the correction with the
+  specific past turn events it perturbed.
+- `max_delta_norm` / `mean_delta_norm` — L2 distance between
+  old and new versors per record, max and mean across records.
+  Magnitude of the backward perturbation without leaking
+  coordinates.
+- `correction_versor_digest` — SHA-256 hex of the correction
+  versor's float32 bytes.  Deterministic identifier for the
+  perturbation source; pairs identical corrections across runs
+  without exposing coordinates.
+
+### Trust boundary (per CLAUDE.md)
+
+- **Metadata-only.**  No raw versor coordinates ever appear in the
+  payload — `old_versor`, `new_versor`, `correction_versor` are not
+  serialised.  Only the L2 deltas and the SHA-256 digest.
+- **No implicit wall-clock.**  Timestamp is caller-provided (kwarg);
+  the runtime does not reach for `datetime.now()` on this path.
+- **Deterministic.**  Same `CorrectionResult` → byte-identical line.
+  `sort_keys=True` in the serialiser; record order matches
+  `CorrectionPass.apply` insertion order (deterministic).
+- **No-op without a sink.**  When no telemetry sink is attached,
+  `_emit_correction_event` returns immediately — `correct()`
+  behaviour is byte-identical to pre-ADR-0059.
+- **Sink errors propagate.**  Mirrors `_emit_turn_event`'s contract:
+  a misconfigured durable sink surfaces loudly rather than
+  silently dropping audit evidence.
+
+---
+
+## Why a discriminated event, not an extended turn event
+
+Two options were considered:
+
+1. **Add a `correction_event` block to `TurnEvent`.**  Same line,
+   optional field.  Lighter touch but pollutes the turn-event
+   schema with a payload that's only present on `correct()` calls,
+   and conflates two semantically distinct events (the backward
+   perturbation and the forward regen turn).
+
+2. **Emit a separate event with a `"type": "correction"` discriminator.**
+   New line type alongside turn events.  Sink contract unchanged
+   (still `emit(line: str)`); consumers discriminate by reading
+   the `"type"` field (absent on turn events today, present on
+   correction events).
+
+Path (2) chosen because:
+- It keeps the turn-event schema clean.
+- It models the underlying event structure honestly: a `correct()`
+  call produces two events (the perturbation, then the regen turn),
+  not one composite turn event.
+- It composes with the existing `FanOutSink` and `JsonlFileSink`
+  unchanged.
+- A future `_emit_supersession_event`, `_emit_proposal_event`, etc.
+  can follow the same discriminator pattern.
+
+---
+
+## Consequences
+
+### What changes
+
+- `chat/telemetry.py` gains `serialize_correction_event` and
+  `format_correction_event_jsonl`.  No changes to existing
+  serialisers.
+- `chat/runtime.py` adds `_emit_correction_event` (mirrors
+  `_emit_turn_event`) and calls it from `correct()` after the
+  graph state is updated but before the forward regen turn.
+
+### What does not change
+
+- Sink contract: still `emit(line: str)`.
+- Existing telemetry consumers that key off the absence of a
+  `"type"` field (treating every line as a turn event) keep
+  working — they'll see correction lines and either ignore them
+  or fail loudly, depending on their parser.  Recommended consumer
+  pattern: dispatch on `payload.get("type", "turn")`.
+- `CorrectionPass` itself is untouched; `CorrectionResult` already
+  carried everything the event needs.
+- `versor_condition < 1e-6` invariant: this ADR adds telemetry
+  emission only; no field state is touched.
+
+---
+
+## Verification
