Opus 4.8 audit of Fable's slice-1 scaffold + authorized hardening (Step 2).
Stacked on feat/adr-0246-slice1-scaffold. Not a PR, not merged, no status flip.
AUDIT (Step 1) — VERDICT PASS. Re-derived A(F)/d_orth/d_stab/typed channels from
§3.1/3.2/3.6 independently: BIT-EXACT vs impl (0.00e+00). Confirmed in code (not
just comments): H_id={I} locked (singleton hardcoded, no enlargement path); path
composes lawful only, refused=break marker, never raw, never soft-I; no §7 scope
creep; serve byte-identity. Finding F1 (doc, not bug): composition uses the raw
CERTIFIED action (required for §6.2 accumulation, else A_path≡I detects nothing) —
now documented for ADR ratification.
HARDENING (Step 2):
§3.7 pure surface (identity_action.py): AdmissionPolicy (calibrated flag),
evaluate_admission (admit-or-abstain, no corrector); CERTIFIED_GAMMA_ID pinned
== identity._WAVE_LEAKAGE_BOUND; all other bounds UNCERTIFIED placeholders.
§3.7 SERVE WIRING (Steps 2.1/2.2): new default-off flag identity_action_surface
(config); threaded chat/runtime -> check -> _wave_field_score; refusal folds
into flagged -> existing would_violate/conjugate_correct abstains; IdentityScore
gains action_surface_active/d_orth/d_stab (legacy defaults). Flag-off is
byte-identical (D4 gate surfaces green unchanged; smoke 176 post-wiring).
§6.3 DISCRIMINATION REPORT (evals/adr_0246_discrimination) — HONEST numbers:
benign pass 0.00, false refusal 1.00, adversarial detect 1.00, control pass
1.00; d_stab AUC 0.375 (95% CI [0.15,0.62]) — BELOW chance. Benign cognition
sits ~18x farther from the frame (mean d_stab 27.8) than the attacks (1.55).
The gate refuses everything and does NOT discriminate; must stay off; usable
separation needs the §11 grounding work, not threshold tuning. Claims language
enforced: 'lawfulness relative to the declared frozen frame', NOT 'semantic
inalienability'.
Ledger raw-sneak hardening test (Step 2.3): mixed lawful/refused sequence must
equal the lawful sub-product, fails if raw sneaks into A_path_lawful.
Handoff to Sonnet: §4.1 per-turn record, path-ledger serve integration, ADR-0246
body + acceptance packet (Proposed, no self-Accept), §11 grounding-feasibility.
[Verification]: uv run core test --suite smoke -q => 176 passed (post-wiring);
ADR-0246 suites 80 passed; egress wiring + D4 gate surfaces 47 passed
(byte-identity); §6.1/6.2 eval 14/14; discrimination report numbers above.

BOUNDED AUTONOMOUS SCAFFOLD DRAFT (Fable 5) — not a PR, not merged, no status
flip, no main push. For Opus 4.8 + Shay audit before anything proceeds toward main.
Stacked on the verified §3-primitives + §3.4/3.5-ledger stack (reuse, not re-derive;
all descend from main @ 04d67ca5).
Adds (directive steps 3-4):

(identity, pi-inversion, 90deg-permutation, mild drift, alien tilt e14,
boost e15, near-singular Gram, malformed F) + §6.2 path/holonomy suite
(lawful sequence, small-rotation session accumulation, interleaved refuse,
pack-change hard break, raw!=lawful forensic). 14/14 cases pass.

Constraints honored: H_id={I} only; no soft-projection of unlawful A; path
composes lawful actions only (never raw product); no C_id corrector; chat/runtime,
flags, D4 gate wiring untouched (A-04 quarantine pinned); no discrimination report,
no ADR body, no claims language (deferred TODO: Opus/human); D4 plan not modified.
epsilon_turn/epsilon_session are UNCERTIFIED PLACEHOLDERS, never baked into a

First implementation unit of ADR-0246 Ring-1 per the preflight brief §3/§13.
Promotes the induced-action apparatus from the slice-0 eval prototype into pure,
tested geometry — the single source of truth both the future gate surface and the
§11 grounding-feasibility study will consume.

G-weighted norm reduces to Frobenius at G=I (default pack)
evals/adr_0246_mismatch_diagnostic: rewired to delegate to the canonical
primitives (removes the duplicate prototype copies; drops unused import).
Scope: off-serving (algebra-only, A-04 quarantine, pinned by test); no gate,
threshold, axis, H_id, corrector, or flag change. identity_wave_gate stays
default-off. Path ledger (§3.4/3.5), gate admit surface (§3.7), and the eval
matrix + §11 feasibility study are subsequent units (brief §0a records the
sequencing). No self-Accept.
[Verification]: uv run core test --suite smoke -q => 176 passed;

wave/runtime/eval, gamma_calibration) 87 passed.
Governance flip carrying Joshua Shay's ratification provenance inline (ruling
2026-07-17: "Ratify both"). Anti-self-Accept guard satisfied — status flips are
authorized by explicit human ruling, not self-issued.
- ADR-0245 → **Accepted** (clean): mechanical-sympathy + semantic-rigor §3 gate
green — parity, f32 467× speedup, 0-LAPACK-on-repeat, collision-resistance.
- ADR-0244 → **Accepted as an implemented mechanism** with a RATIFIED
live-activation limitation: identity_wave_gate stays default-off and live
activation is NOT authorized. Acceptance covers the operator-preservation
manifold, fail-closed gate capability, γ_id calibration, telemetry, and
lifecycle contracts — not a production flip. The Phase-3 calibration explicitly
did NOT authorize activation (benign traffic not separable at the nominal
frame; best balanced error 0.346). Activation is blocked pending a separately
ratified ADR-0246 (induced action, lawful stabilizer, path integrity,
semantic-frame discrimination) + renewed discrimination evidence + acceptable
benign refusal rate + explicit human ratification.
Governance additions (per the ruling): both ADR status lines carry
"Accepted — ratified by Joshua Shay … acceptance-packet" (provenance-guard
format); ADR-0244 header carries the Operational-status limitation paragraph + a
machine-readable identity_wave_gate: ledger block (implementation: accepted /
live_activation: not_authorized / default: off); both packet §8 RULING RECORDs
RATIFIED with the "not safe-to-activate" caveat prominent. Plan doc Phase 6 → DONE.
[Verification]: smoke 176 passed; provenance/ADR pins + all ADR-0244/0245 tests
503 passed (both-Accepted-with-provenance format enforced). Docs-only.
Two D10-pattern acceptance packets submitted for Joshua's ruling:
- docs/audit/adr-0244-acceptance-packet-2026-07-17.md
- docs/audit/adr-0245-acceptance-packet-2026-07-17.md
Each is an evidence dossier (§1 claim→built→evidence→verdict table, §2 deviations,
§3 deferred, §4 gate results, §5 requested action). §8 RULING RECORD is PENDING and
both ADR status lines remain **Proposed** — the anti-self-Accept guard forbids me
flipping status without explicit ratification, so I have NOT.
The ADR-0244 packet §5 foregrounds the one caveat shaping the ruling: the identity
wave-gate is BUILT + VALIDATED but NOT live (identity_wave_gate=False; Phase-3
live-non-separation, best balanced error 0.346) — validated scaffolding pending
ADR-0246, not a live gate. The ADR-0245 §3 gate is complete (parity, f32 467×
speedup, 0-LAPACK, collision-resistance).
Plan doc Phase 6 → PACKETS DELIVERED, awaiting ratification. All build phases
(0-5) complete; the only remaining step is the human ratification gate.
[Verification]: Phase 5 gate green — smoke 176; fast lane 12032 passed / 25
skipped (core_rs built → Rust-parity + f32-speedup ran live). Docs-only commit;
both ADRs Proposed (provenance guard unaffected).
The single explicit, fail-closed f64→f32 down-cast at the certified lifecycle
egress. serving_cast(psi_steady, certificate, verdict) -> ServingState in
core/physics/cognitive_lifecycle.py:
- Casts ONLY a state that validates as a finite 32-vector, matches its
certificate psi_digest, and was verdict.admitted — an uncertified, refused, or
digest-mismatched state is never served.
- Precision-checks the f32 result (cast_error = max|f64-f32|, unit norm) and
fails closed on an f32 precision cliff (f32_precision_insufficient) rather than
serving a silently-degraded state.
- Keeps f64 as the source of truth: psi_steady and the psi_digest content-address
chain are untouched; ServingState carries provenance back (source_psi_digest,
certificate_id, measured cast_error) for audit. f64 stays inside
relaxation/eigendecomp — this is the one place f32 appears (ADR-0245 §2.2
mechanical sympathy).
Satisfies both ADR-0244 §2.5 and ADR-0245 §2.2 (one contract, two ADRs). Measured
on a real certified outcome: cast_error ~1.2e-8, unit_norm_f32 ~0.99999998.
Off-serving (A-04 guard: chat.runtime never imports it). ADR-0245 status map +
plan doc updated.
[Verification]: smoke 176 passed; fast lane 11907 passed / 109 skipped (-n auto,
not quarantine/slow); 10 targeted serving-cast tests passed.
D4 Phase 3 (§2.4). Calibrates the wave-gate leakage bound γ_id via the
bracketed-local Fibonacci section search and emits a content-addressed tuning
certificate (evals/adr_0244_gamma_calibration/). Two results, kept separate:
1. The search certifies γ* = 0.2126624458513829 (cert 0079b5f2…) separating
the geometric attack signal — in-subspace rotors admitted, axis→e4/e5
tilt/boost attacks flagged (inversions excluded: ~0-leakage, handled by the
orientation floor). Pinned as identity._WAVE_LEAKAGE_BOUND; the wave path is
decoupled from alignment_threshold (legacy path + hedge bands keep it).
2. The same bound does NOT separate real live traffic. Measured on the engine,
benign final_state.F versors do not preserve span(e1,e2,e3): leakage
0.14–0.81 (mean 0.55), self-align to −0.52, 12/13 benign false-refused at
γ*, best balanced error 0.346. The calibration certifies
flag_flip_authorized=False → identity_wave_gate stays OFF.
Root cause: the shipped value axes (truthfulness=e1, coherence=e2,
reverence=e3) are nominal basis vectors, not dynamically-preserved eigenmodes;
the field evolution gives the identity subspace no dynamical anchoring. The fix
is the ADR-0246 induced-identity-action programme (preflight brief merged). The
wave gate is validated, correctly-off scaffolding — not a live gate. A slow
drift-guard test canaries any future engine change that starts preserving
identity.
Off-serving (evals/ + tests); flag-off byte-identity preserved. ADR §4a +
plan doc + memory updated with the finding.
[Verification]: smoke 176 passed; fast lane 11897 passed / 109 skipped (-n
auto, not quarantine/slow); 59 targeted gate/calibration tests passed.
Lands docs/briefs/ADR-0246-induced-identity-action-and-path-integrity-preflight.md
(Shay 6e3ccd88, docs-only, +505) on top of main-with-full-Phase-2 (b440b92b).
The PR branched from c7e2b3b6 (pre-2c); this merge reconciles it with the
completed Phase 2 (2a 1c7ea26e / 2b c7e2b3b6 / 2c c0ff4720) so the post-D4
ADR-0246 planning baseline sits on the finished integrity floor. The brief
adds one new file under docs/briefs/ (no code, no ADR status flip, no
governance change) — verified read in full before merge; clean auto-merge
(no path overlap with Phase 2).
[Verification]: content verified (505-line docs-only planning brief, authored
by Shay, consistent with ADR-0244 §4a + D4 plan); merge adds only the brief
file; b440b92b already passed the full fast lane.
Freeze the post-D4 planning baseline for the next identity ADR series:
lawful stabilizer H_id={I}, induced action A(F), d_orth/d_stab split,
lawful-only path composition with hard ledger breaks, typed residual
channels, admit-or-abstain only, and explicit non-goals (no geometric
C_id, no multi-port framework in this slice).
Implementation starts only after D4 Phase 6 (or explicit waiver). Does
not expand or interrupt the live ADR-0244 D4 arc.
[Verification]: Smoke suite passed locally (314s, 176 passed)
Wires the ADR-0244 §2.2 wave gate into the live turn loop behind a new
opt-in flag, byte-identical when off, plus a normalization fix found in
integration.
core/config.py: RuntimeConfig.identity_wave_gate (bool = False). OFF by
default — the leakage threshold is provisional (reuses alignment_threshold)
until calibrated to gamma_id in Phase 3, and flag-off is byte-identical to
the pre-ADR-0244 advisory path.
chat/runtime.py (main chat() path, two flag-gated touches):
- at the identity check, pass wave_field=result.final_state.F when the
flag is on (so hedging + telemetry both use the wave score); None when
off -> legacy scalar-L2 path.
- after the safety/ethics verdicts exist, intersect their violated
boundaries with the manifold's committed boundary_ids (supplement via
dataclasses.replace) and fold a fail-closed geometric IdentityGateRefusal
into the typed refusal surface (TYPED_REFUSAL_PREFIX). refusal_emitted is
derived once, after the block, preserving the (surface is not None) <=>
emitted invariant.
chat/telemetry.py: serialize_turn_event emits the wave-gate keys
(identity_wave_mode / _leakage_norm / _min_self_alignment /
_boundary_violations) only when identity_score.wave_mode_active — so the
wire format is byte-identical when the gate is off.
core/physics/identity_manifold.py — NORMALIZATION FIX (found in
integration): the live versor carries boost (e5) components, and a boost is
a unit versor (R R~ = 1) that does NOT preserve the Euclidean coefficient
norm, so ‖R a_i R~‖ > 1 and the un-normalized leakage/self-alignment ran
past their ranges (measured leakage 5.16, self_align -4.75 on a real turn).
axis_response now normalizes each measure by the rotated-axis magnitude:
leakage is a fraction in [0,1], self_align a signed cosine in [-1,1]. For a
norm-preserving spatial rotor the rotated axis is unit and normalization is
a no-op (Phase 1 results unchanged). §4a updated to match; new boost test
pins bounded measures.
tests/test_adr_0244_identity_gate_runtime.py (new): flag OFF -> legacy
score + no wave telemetry (byte-identical wire); flag ON -> wave gate active
on the live versor + wave telemetry present + bounded measures; flag-off
determinism. Seeds a short sequence to reach main-path (identity-checked)
turns (a fresh empty-vault runtime routes ungrounded inputs to disclosure).
[Verification]: 74 targeted (manifold+gate+runtime+legacy identity+
telemetry) passed; in-worktree smoke 176 passed; fast lane
(-m 'not quarantine and not slow' -n auto) 11883 passed, 109 skipped —
flag-off byte-identity confirmed across the whole suite.
Discovered before implementing Phase 1: the live identity trajectory
final_state.F carries the invariant versor_condition(F) < 1e-6 — it is a
VERSOR (even-grade operator, grades 0/2/4, exactly zero grade-1 content).
§2.1/§2.2's literal 'project psi_traj onto the grade-1 value subspace' is
therefore VACUOUS on the real runtime object: P_id(F) = 0 identically,
flagging every trajectory — a fail-closed brick. Root cause: a versor is
an operator, not a state vector; projecting the operator into a subspace
of states is a category error.
Resolution (ratified by Joshua Shay 2026-07-17): measure whether the
versor PRESERVES the value subspace, via its action on the axes
F a_i F~ (sandwich). Two per-axis measures, both empirically verified
necessary and non-redundant:
- subspace leakage = euclidean_norm(rot_i - P_I(rot_i)) — catches a
versor tilting a value axis toward an alien dimension (e4/e5);
- signed self-alignment = <a_i, rot_i>_0 — catches in-subspace
inversion (e1 -> -e1: leakage 0 but self-align -1), the concrete
realization of the ratified 'signed overlap, never abs()' decision.
Keeps the grade-1 pack axes unchanged (no pack migration) and sharpens
inalienability: identity is invariant UNDER transformation, not a frozen
state.
§4a rewritten to the operator-preservation spec (lift_axis, gram_matrix,
subspace_project, sandwich, euclidean_norm, axis_response); governance
annotation item 12 records the reframe + ratification; plan doc §3 Fact C
+ §5 Phase 1 + progress log updated.
[Verification]: docs-only ADR/plan amendment; provenance/ADR guard
(test_adr_0241_governance_p12.py) 6 passed — ADR-0244 Status line
confirmed still 'Proposed' (the item-12 ratification text is inside the
annotation/§4a, not a status flip). All acceptance numbers pre-verified
via in-tree numerical probes against algebra.cl41.
Reconciles ADR-0244 against its own D0 blockers and commits ADR-0245 as
a real companion ADR (previously a dangling reference in ADR-0244 §4).
ADR-0244 governance annotation expanded (11 items, all body text below
preserved verbatim for R&D provenance; annotation governs on conflict):
1. Q_top proof (already landed) now explicitly drops the §2.2 egress
ΔQ_top conjunct (it is a hollow, always-true discriminator).
2. §4-vs-§2 contradiction RESOLVED — new §4a is the governing spec;
§4 kept verbatim as the (contradictory) original R&D sketch.
3. §2.1 axis construction was underspecified (packs ship dim-3
directions, not 32-vectors) — resolved via a grade-1 lift at the
e1/e2/e3 slots (algebra.cl41.basis_vector), not embed_point.
4. §2.2 amended: signed overlap (never abs()'d — anti-alignment must
stay distinguishable from orthogonality); leakage norm is the
positive-definite Euclidean coefficient norm, not the indefinite
Cl(4,1) inner product (which (+,+,+,+,-) permits to vanish for
nonzero leakage).
5. Inalienability reframed as 5 testable layers (algebraic / runtime
/ pipeline / operational / semantic) — only the first is a math
guarantee.
6. Paraphrase-invariance reworded as an empirical, measured property;
Q_top conservation scoped to pure versors only (relax_to_ground
can converge to non-versor superpositions — the ADR-0243 SD-A
subtlety).
7. boundary_ids activation (currently stored, never evaluated).
8. Identity manifold is FROZEN — biography holonomy accumulates
separately and never mutates the identity subspace.
9-11. Filename correction (multimodal_lifecycle.py doesn't exist;
real file is cognitive_lifecycle.py), ADR-0245 cross-link,
theological citation labeled ESV + analogy disclaimer.
New §4a supersedes §4 with a typed, Gram/leakage-correct specification
(ManifoldConditioningError, IdentityGateRefusal, bounded/abstaining
C_id, isfinite + shape guards — no bare assert) for Phase 1/2 to build
against under TDD.
ADR-0245 committed Proposed, verbatim from the R&D export, with a
governance annotation mapping its 4 decisions + Sec 3 acceptance gate
against what the cohesion-directive arc already landed (Rust f32 GP,
_cached_eigh, digest hot-path all done; f64->f32 cast + Sec 3's
speedup/collision proofs open — tracked as D4 Phase 4/5).
Audit doc (adr-0244-cohesion-directive-audit-2026-07-17.md) wrinkles
1-2 and Q5 sequencing updated from 'pending'/'must reconcile' to
resolved, cross-referencing this landing.
[Verification]: in-worktree smoke gate 176 passed; provenance/ADR
governance pins (test_adr_0241_governance_p12.py,
test_adr_0242_topological_quarantine.py, test_third_door_cohesion.py)
30 passed — confirms ADR-0244 stays Proposed (no status flip) and no
existing ADR provenance guard was disturbed. Docs-only change, no
executable surface touched.
Comprehensive phased plan for full ADR-0244 realization (D4) plus the
ADR-0245 companion: locked design decisions (Q_top dropped from egress,
grade-1 axis lift, signed overlap, Euclidean leakage norm, frozen
identity manifold, bounded/abstaining C_id), code-verified ground truth
(Fact A dim-3 axes, Fact B two field surfaces, boundary_ids dormant),
folded-in external-review considerations, and a per-phase progress
dashboard for seamless cross-session resume after rate-limit breaks.
[Verification]: docs-only (docs/handoff/), no executable surface; smoke
deferred to Phase 0 (first phase touching governance/ADR tests).
Turns the D0 "likely vacuous" annotation on ADR-0244 §2.3 into a re-runnable proof
that ΔQ_top = 0 is a hollow egress gate (the #19-pseudoscalar failure mode).
evals/adr_0244_qtop_vacuity/ — computes Q_top = <psi I5 ~psi>_0 on the real
Cl(4,1) algebra and finds: (1) Q_top = 0.000e+00 EXACTLY across every unit versor
(spatial rotors AND boosts through e5, and products) — I5 is central so
psi I5 ~psi = I5*(psi ~psi) = I5 for a unit versor, scalar part 0; (2) off the
versor manifold Q_top = -grade5(psi ~psi), nonzero only where the I-05 closure
residual already fires; (3) it is a conserved Spin(4,1) invariant but identically
0 on the valid manifold; (4) the decisive test — an aligned identity and an
adversarially-rotated one (a valid versor, overlap 0.963) both read Q_top = 0, so
ΔQ_top = 0 PASSES the attack the spectral-leakage/closure check actually catches.
Typed JSON artifact + CLI (exit 0 iff proven_vacuous).
tests/test_adr_0244_qtop_vacuity.py — pins each step + off-serving quarantine.
Docs: ADR-0244 §2.3 annotation upgraded "likely vacuous" -> "PROVEN vacuous —
retire from egress"; audit-doc Q4 marked RESOLVED with the evidence.
Verdict: do NOT wire ΔQ_top = 0 as an egress admit condition; keep Q_top, if at
all, as a closure-derived diagnostic. Closes the first of the two ADR-0244 D4
blockers with proof.
[Verification]: qtop eval 8 tests green; CLI proven_vacuous=true; smoke below.
First step of the cohesion-directive arc (docs only; no code).
- docs/adr/ADR-0244-…md: committed Proposed, verbatim from the R&D export
(matching the ADR-0241/2/3 landing convention), plus a clearly-marked
governance annotation holding two items open for the D4 implementation plan:
(1) §2.3 Q_top is likely vacuous — central I5 in odd Cl(4,1) collapses the
charge on versor states (the #19 pseudoscalar failure mode); it must not be an
egress gate without an empirical discriminating counterexample; (2) §4's
conformed implementation contradicts §2.1-2.2 (per-axis resonance vs.
Gram-projection/leakage-norm/ManifoldConditioningError), references a dangling
ADR-0245, and uses a bare assert for the byte-order guard.
- docs/analysis/engineering_cohesion_refactoring_directive.md: the technical
directive moved to its own canonical path, verbatim (content byte-identical).
- docs/analysis/adr-0244-cohesion-directive-audit-2026-07-17.md: the code-level
audit of all 7 mandates vs. main@24078b11 — per-mandate verdicts, the six
spec-level wrinkles, the amended mandate→work-item mapping, the missing sixth
acceptance criterion (Mechanical-Sympathy gain), and the five decisions (Q1-Q5).
Notable finding: the default=str + 24-char-digest drift the directive flags was
replicated into Lane C (biography_wiring.py) AFTER the directive was written —
raising the priority of the D1 semantic-rigor batch.
[Verification]: docs-only; ADR governance provenance-guard green (unchanged).
Submits the ADR-0243 arc for Joshua's ruling: claims-vs-evidence, deviations
D-1..D-5, deferred items, and the arc gate results (Phase 4 fast lane 11808;
decisive falsifier wrong==0). Follows the ADR-0241/0242 packet convention.
The Proposed->Accepted flip is NOT made here: the anti-self-Accept guard
(test_adr_0241_governance_p12) requires a recorded human ruling with inline
provenance. Section 8 RULING RECORD is PENDING; the status flip is a separate
one-line governance commit carrying Joshua's ratification, made only after his
explicit ruling.
[Verification]: docs-only; ADR-0243 suite + provenance-guard green.
Phase 2 merged (#56) after the brief pack was written; feat/adr-0243-phase2-lifecycle
no longer exists. Lane B's base/worktree instructions pointed at it. All three
lanes now branch off forgejo/main directly, per the actual current state.
Orthogonal docs-only fix, direct push (no code/tests touched).
Production-line brief pack for the three independent Phase 3 wiring lanes,
each grounded in fresh read-only research against the current worktree (not
assumed from the plan text):
- Lane A (discovery wiring): is_discovery_eligible + cross_band_discovery_gate
-> DiscoveryCandidate via the contemplation runner's existing sink; live
caller for propose_kappa_line_search so kappa_search_event fires. Flags a
real open question (what feeds surprise_norm for a contemplation finding)
rather than guessing.
- Lane B (sensorium corridor eval): first live consumer of the I-04 feed —
real Audio/Vision compilers -> cognitive_lifecycle -> readback -> GoldTether,
shaped like the adr_0242_v2_energy_compare fixed-replay template.
- Lane C (biography wiring): ADR-0240 harness PASS -> integrate_biography with
I-01 closure asserts and provenance recording. Flags a genuine
identity-substrate design question (mutation vs. proposal-only) for Shay
rather than picking silently.
Corrected dependency DAG: only Lane B actually depends on Phase 2's
cognitive_lifecycle module landing. Lanes A and C touch zero Phase-2 code —
every symbol they wire already exists on forgejo/main — so they can start
immediately, in parallel with Phase 2's own review, rather than waiting.
Also fixes a stale claim this research caught: the plan's substrate table
(Sec 2) named packs/en/readback_rules.py as already-landed §2.3 readback
rules. That file was deleted under audit ratchet W-006; the live substitute
is generate/realizer.py:energy_modulated_surface. Corrected in place.
Per standing production-line-pattern + no-self-dispatch doctrine: brief pack
only, dispatch is Shay's call.
[Verification]: docs-only change, no code touched; no test suite affected.
Implements ADR-0243 §2 honestly per the plan's deviations ledger, correcting
the §3 sketch's three pinned defects (SD-A/B/C):
- Ingress delegates superposition to sensorium_wave_feed, normalizes once at
the owned construction boundary (D-3).
- Relaxation is the imaginary-time semigroup psi <- normalize(exp(-(H-lam0)*dt)*psi)
(D-1) with a certified, never-assumed convergence certificate (D-2): exact
ground energy, achieved Rayleigh energy, eigen-residual, spectral gap, and a
psi_digest binding the certificate to the exact state it certifies.
- Two checkable problem domains: quadratic_well (convex target-decoding) and
propositional (Cl(4,1) blade lattice = assignment lattice of <=5 atoms;
diagonal penalty Hamiltonian; entailment via UNSAT(premises & !conclusion)
scored against independent truth-table gold).
- Egress composes unit-amplitude-density + certificate-binding + versor
closure (routes, does not admit, per the dual of SD-A) + ADR-0006 energy
classes + E0/E1 crystallization policy. Cold states emit a
CrystallizationProposal (epistemic_status pinned SPECULATIVE by the type;
D-5/I-03) — never a vault write.
- Quarantined off-serving (A-04): lazy barrel export, banned in the
transitive subprocess probe and the cohesion AST suite.
Adversarial verification (finder/verifier workflow; most verify agents lost
to a session limit, every surviving finding reproduced in-tree before acting)
surfaced and this closes two real defects beyond the plan text:
- egress_gate admitted any unit state paired with any converged certificate
from an unrelated run, so CrystallizationProposal could package a foreign
psi_digest next to an unrelated certificate_id as false provenance. Fixed
by binding the certificate to its state (psi_digest) and refusing mismatches
(certificate_state_mismatch).
- A state with a spectral gap below the requested tolerance could certify
with ZERO ground-space overlap (energy window alone can't resolve it).
Certification now also requires the excited weight (E-lam0)/gap <= tol
(refusal spectral_gap_below_tolerance), and the degeneracy cluster is
capped at the acceptance window so certificates report the honest
rate-limiting gap instead of absorbing a hairline split.
38 tests (31 original + 7 hardening: certificate-binding must-reject,
gap-refusal + true-ground pair, dense-branch (eigh) refusals, iterate-collapse,
Hamiltonian/egress shape must-rejects, E2 hold route, hardcoded canonical
entailment verdicts independent of the gold function's code shape).

Commits the ADR-0243 (Wave-Field Cognitive Lifecycle) proposal verbatim as
Proposed, and the arc-governing implementation plan derived from it plus
docs/analysis/core_cohesion_master_plan.md and the ADR-0241/0242 post-Accept
close audit findings.
The plan records that most of ADR-0243's organs already exist on main
(sensorium feed, WaveManifold, energy classes, GoldTether, surprise/discovery
plumbing, self-authorship, biography, packs/en readback) and that
tests/test_third_door_cohesion.py already pins I-01..I-05, A-02/A-04, and
core_ha absence from the cohesion master plan — so this arc is the §2.2
relaxation reasoner plus three wiring lanes, not a rebuild.
Also pins three defects in the ADR's §3 reference prototype so it can never
be ported verbatim: the egress gate's antisymmetric quadratic form is
identically zero (rejects every state, valid or not); the unitary
relaxation loop cannot dissipate toward a ground state (the honest
relaxer is the imaginary-time semigroup); and the prototype's block-matrix
"pseudoscalar proxy" is a different operator from the real Cl(4,1)
pseudoscalar action despite sharing I^2 = -Id.

Complete remaining W5/post-pivot backlog without Docker CI: INV-21 allowlist
dedup, -n auto fast/full defaults, frozen f64 GP Python SOT suite, real
sensorium compiler → ψ → algebraic ρ feed, V2 fib/dyadic/log fixed-replay
evidence without production energy promotion, and project doctrine restored to
local-first + ubuntu-latest:host (no Docker CI for merge).
[Verification]: Smoke suite passed locally (145s, 176 passed); make test-fast
(-n auto) passed twice (11709 passed, 108 skipped each ~11–12 min).
The operational W0-W5 plan that drove the arc was never committed — it
lived only as a gitignored .claude/plan/ artifact in an orphaned
worktree. This commits the durable plan-to-outcome record: phase-by-phase
status against the original plan, the unplanned CI-collapse/local-first
pivot that consumed the post-ratification session, and the remaining
backlog.
A parallel session re-implemented the ADR-0241/0242 memo reference sketches
as 'production-ready' files and requested a commit, unaware the repo carries
the ratified implementations (Accepted 2026-07-15). Assessment: two genuine
defects in the memo SKETCH (index overflow; bracket-collapse ratio — now
pinned in the committed memo copy's §4 audit note), one wrong-math 'fix'
(diag[8:16] pseudo-reversion), one self-refuting verification claim (the
submitted orchestrator contains a syntax error and cannot import), and a
new module violating no-scipy-as-truth / P7-retired-polar / zero-fabrication
/ T1-T2. No live checkout was touched (verified). Recommendations: dispatch
briefs point at repo + living summary §12 before Drive docs; Accepted ADRs
get extensions, never re-implementations; unverifiable green claims are red.
[Verification]: docs-only; tree code byte-identical to gated main.
Slow-lane sweep (2026-07-15, 37m06s): 1 failed / 909 passed / 1 skipped /
1 xfailed. The single red was a stale constant pin (assert
MAX_RUNTIME_SECONDS == 30) missed when 640dbe8f deliberately re-budgeted
the public showcase to 60s — the slow lane hadn't been run since (nightly
lives on the billing-locked GitHub side). Pin updated to the deliberate,
comment-documented value; ledger Slow row completed. The historical '~31
full-suite reds' figure is fully retired: fast lane cleared by #45, slow
lane clean after this pin.
[Verification]: tests/test_public_showcase.py green; push held until the
CI locked-install fix lands (branch inherits it via main-merge).
Five fast-lane failures on main made the full suite dishonest.
- Refresh INV-21 allowlist pins in demo tests for holographic_vault (ADR-0241)
- Skip non-powerable (mixed-parity) rotor_power calls in generate recall and
session anchor pull instead of crashing the cognitive path

Executes the explicit in-session 'Ratify' ruling on the D10 acceptance
packet (docs/audit/adr-0241-0242-acceptance-packet-2026-07-15.md §8 ruling
record added):
- ADR-0241 status: Proposed → Accepted (P7 demote-with-proof accepted as
honest per the #19 precedent; T1/T2 serve-boundary reconciliation
ratified; chiral sign-gate enforced on the accepted state via PR #41).
- ADR-0242 status: Proposed → Accepted (memo fidelity slice closed with no
new defects; V5 anyons remain claim-quarantined/not built; V2 production
promotion stays benchmark-gated).
- CRDT determinism ruling (PR #42) ratified: single-writer bit-exact now;
CRDT behind an explicit multi-writer gate.
- Checklist header, fidelity-ledger §12 status, and living summary §12
updated to the ratified state.
Post-Accept work remains tracked (W5 backlog + packet §7 carry items);
none are conditions of this Accept.
Two coupled post-#42 truth updates:
1. core_ha authority mirror: clearly-marked correction section appended
(original text unmodified) — actual determinism mechanism is bit-exact
codec + single-writer VaultStore (Delta-CRDT exists only in core-rs vault
+ audio lane; general rollout deferred behind an explicit multi-writer
gate per the PR #42 ruling); notes the §5.1 ClosureViolationException
naming deviation and that the §5.2 sign-gate is now enforced (PR #41).
2. Acceptance packet: review fixes — state-under-review bumped to
ccc42c18 (#36–#42 all merged); §4 chiral gate marked MERGED (state under
Accept already enforces the topological safety invariant — no sequencing
caveat); §5 items 1–2 flipped to RESOLVED (memo slice closed per §7;
CRDT dossier merged); §6 requested-action updated accordingly.
Builds the one missing safeguard from the 4-blueprint integration audit:
the mirror-inversion protection (core_ha §5.2: sgn(∫⟨ψ I₅ ψ̃⟩₀) = const).
The chiral charge was a verified non-vacuous READOUT, but goldtether took
abs(), discarding the sign — orientation was measured, never enforced.
- core/physics/chiral_gate.py: ChiralOrientationGate latches sgn(Q) on the
first non-vacuous reading (|Q| >= 0.1 floor); a materially re-emerging
flip raises ChiralOrientationError (fail-closed; a sign flip is
unreachable under rotor transport, so it evidences corruption).
Even field-states stay vacuous — no orientation fabricated, no #19
revival; the gate is behaviorally inert on today's serve path.
- goldtether_residual now feeds the SIGNED charge to the gate; the
residual term keeps magnitude-only semantics byte-identical (pinned).
- Docs: integration-plan missing-piece row -> BUILT; fidelity ledger §12
gains the failable pin row.
TDD RED->GREEN. [Verification]: smoke suite passed locally (141s, 175
passed); gate suite 7 passed; goldtether-consumer regression 99 passed.
Copied from the Grok session worktree before arc cleanup prunes it.
Summary is the living status surface; the two plans are point-in-time
archives (CI-state headers say 'as of archive').
Unblock the single Act runner: post-merge full-pytest runs the fast
marker (not quarantine and not slow); full non-quarantine suite moves
to nightly + workflow_dispatch. lane-shas uses job-level path detection
so docs-only PRs skip green without hanging required checks. Sync
smoke/conftest/docs CI contracts to the PR/main/nightly policy.
- Implemented design (A) for P8: odd-capable mixed-parity spinor packets
produce a strictly non-vacuous and informative chiral charge
Q = <ψ I_5 ~ψ>_0 that measures correlation between the even and odd-dual parts.
- Proved via TDD that Q is non-vacuous on mixed-parity spinors and strictly
conserved under left unitary rotor multiplication.
- Updated wave_manifold.py docstrings to clarify that while Q is structurally
vacuous for even field-states (retiring #19), it is fully functional for
general spinors.
- Flipped W4 in the fidelity scorecard to GREEN and updated ADR-0241.
- Proved that analytical Clifford polar C_AB = B~A is mathematically ill-posed
for multi-grade 32-vector fields, as ~C C is not a scalar.
- Cemented _field_conjugacy_versor (SVD + Spin Gauss-Newton) as the mathematically
optimal and honest way to extract sandwich conjugators.
- Updated ADR-0241 to demote the polar claim and favor the thin wrap.
- Updated third-door-blueprint-fidelity.md to flip W3 to GREEN (honest demotion).
- Added behavioral RED test to demonstrate the multi-grade breakdown of ~C C.

Land entity-cohesion foundation for ADR-0241 mastery: public VaultStore
get_versor/get_entry ABI (drop private _versors in holographic vault),
resonant_reconstruct + phase_correlation on WaveManifold, cohesion master
plan + Phase 0/serve quarantine suite, fidelity honesty pass, and Gemini
handoff brief for ADR-0242 atlas packing + Fibonacci search.
Implement promotion_eligible (closed ∧ drift≤ε), promote live
closure/drift refuse even when authorized, require_proof, and
prune(mode=principal_axes) keeping primals + highest principal-energy
non-primals (differs from FIFO). Proof fields never trusted as truth.
Ledger #18 flipped green; ADR-0092 reviewer service remains external.
The self-hosted Actions runner is aarch64 (Apple M1 Linux); the CI toolchain
assumed x86_64, so every workflow has been failing at environment setup — on
main and every PR, not a code regression.
Two root causes, both arm64:
* pyrage==1.2.3 publishes no linux-aarch64 wheel, so uv fell back to an sdist
build and modern uv rejects pyrage's own pyproject.toml ("[project] without
project.version") — "TOML parse error at line 5". Bump to pyrage==1.2.4, the
first release shipping a cp39-abi3 manylinux_2_17_aarch64 wheel (x86_64 and
macOS wheels retained). No source build -> no parse error. Fixes smoke,
full-pytest, contemplation, ratify-proposal.
Verified: age/X25519 encrypt+decrypt round-trips on 1.2.4, and the committed
sealed-holdout artifacts (sealed under 1.2.3) still decrypt
(tests/test_holdout_encryption.py, tests/test_adr_0119_7_sealed_gsm8k.py —
7 passed). No ADR pins the patch version; only a size-tally doc referenced
it (updated).
* lane-shas used actions/setup-python@v5, which has no arm64 build for the
pinned 3.12.13 ("version '3.12.13' with architecture 'arm64' was not found"
-> "python: command not found"). Switch to astral-sh/setup-uv@v5 + uv (uv
provisions arm64 Python reliably), matching the other four workflows.
Files: pyproject.toml (pyrage 1.2.3->1.2.4), docs/model_dependency_size_tally.md,
.github/workflows/lane-shas.yml. uv.lock is gitignored (uv re-resolves per run).
Separate pre-existing issue (NOT addressed here): with setup fixed, lane-shas
now reaches its SHA check, where 2 demo lanes (demo_composition, public_demo)
drift from their pins. This is content drift on main, unrelated to the toolchain
(public_demo is a known wall-clock/env flake). Left for an explicit re-pin vs
degate decision rather than silently re-pinning.
Finding #20 (Super-Blueprint §3.2). surprise_residual was Euclidean Gram-Schmidt
on flat 32-coefficient vectors — metric-blind (it ignored the (+,+,+,+,-)
signature and the blade grade structure), so "inside the admissible span" was
judged by the wrong geometry.
Operator math (core/physics/surprise.py):
- Exact metric-orthogonal projection: solve the normal equations G c = r
(G_ij = cga_inner(b_i,b_j), r_i = cga_inner(b_i,x)) via lstsq, under cga_inner
(32-vec) / eta (5-vec).
- Fail-closed (typed SurpriseResidualError) on a metric-degenerate span, keyed on
rank(G) < rank(B) — a null direction with no reciprocal (lone n_o). Refines the
literal "rank(G) < k": mere linear dependence among non-null columns is admitted
(lstsq projects onto the span), so a redundant live basis [1, source] and the
non-degenerate pair {n_o, n_inf} are admitted; only a lone n_o is refused. The
disclosure names the Gram null-space direction (not just zero-diagonal columns).
- Reconciled productivity polarity: productive_transfer = low Procrustes AND low
surprise (was `sur_norm >= 0.0`, always true). High surprise routes to discovery
(split follow-up). Corrects the ledger's transfer/discovery conflation.
Adversarial verification (3 independent lenses) found, and this fixes:
- HIGH soundness hole: sur_norm was the reversion pseudo-norm, which VANISHES on
a nonzero metric-null residual (the n_o/n_inf light cone) -> false-zero surprise
-> an out-of-span light-cone probe was wrongly admitted as in-span. Now the
DEFINITE (Euclidean) norm of the residual: the projection stays metric-exact,
the magnitude is 0 iff nothing is unexplained.
- HIGH regression: the analogical-transfer harness called surprise_residual
OUTSIDE its try/except, so a degenerate source crashed the whole run. Now
guarded: records a refused case and continues.
- grade-support `allowed` -> exact-nonzero (removes a spurious-leak edge under
coefficient amplification of sub-tolerance grade dust).
DiscoveryCandidate wiring into the contemplation loop is split to its own
follow-up (a distinct cross-cutting surface). Off-serving (nothing in
serving/runtime imports core.physics.*). Tests: 15 behavioral tests
(metric-vs-Euclidean divergence, null-cone regression, null refusal +
combination-degenerate disclosure, 5-vector branch, polarity); 139-test physics
sweep green; ruff clean.
The Super-Blueprint §3.3 "grade-5 pseudoscalar alignment anchor" is
mathematically vacuous in odd-dimensional Cl(4,1) and cannot be built as
specified (3-agent R&D convergence — Opus/Grok/Terra — ratified):
- I₅ is central in odd dim → V·I₅·Ṽ = ±I₅ for every versor; orientation is
invariant by construction (nothing to block).
- Field-state versors are even → F[31] ≡ 0; the gated ⟨F·F̃⟩₅ = 0 for the
source and target of every transition. The gate compares 0 == 0.
- The "even-versor parity gate" repair is equally vacuous (even subalgebra is
closed under the sandwich; odd-grade mass ≡ 0 on the sanctioned path).
Removes the namesake rather than leaving it masking an absence:
- Delete _PSEUDOSCALAR_IDX + all F[31] reads (dead `ps` history element and
CoherenceResidual.pseudoscalar — both structural zeros).
- Rename telemetry channel pseudoscalar_floor → autonomy_floor (it was always
self.floor, the earned-autonomy ceiling).
- Bump telemetry schema goldtether_coherence_v1 → v2 (shape changed).
The integrity-anchor role is subsumed by versor closure + GoldTether harmonized
residual (#24) + biography/identity holonomy. Ledger §5 rewritten with the
vacuity proof, subsumption, and the reusable "would this gate ever fire on the
sanctioned construction path?" meta-criterion.
No serving/runtime path touched (core.physics.* is off-serving). Tests: 33 pass
/ 1 xfail (Cartan #2) across goldtether + fidelity + miner + transfer suites;
ruff clean.
Master honest ledger for the ADR-0238/0239/0240 skeleton: per-operator
blueprint spec, actual landed code, precise gap, reproducible evidence, and
what 'done right' requires. Tracks follow-ups #16-#21. Replaces the Mastery
Report framing with a verifiable spec-vs-impl record.
- Fixes skeptic gaps on empty fields in some smokes and fixture mismatch.
- Targeted tests green post-fix.
- Fresh captures have required non-empty data + documented skips.
- Add LexicalResolution dataclass + resolve_entry() in chat/pack_resolver.py
that returns language, root, morphology_id, gloss, semantic_domains from
he/grc/en packs (lru-cached, first-match, full depth support).
- Extend GraphNode (generate/graph_planner.py) with optional language/root/
morphology_id fields (defaults preserve all call sites). Update as_dict()
to include them conditionally. ground_graph() now propagates depth.
- Generalize enrichment in core/cognition/pipeline.py:
- Per-subject resolution map using depth packs.
- Enrich all matching nodes before ground (subject→node map).
- Pass depth alongside recalled_words to ground_graph().
- Consume depth on articulation side:
- realize_semantic() and render_semantic() now accept/use language+root
for etymological/Logos framing on Hebrew/Greek nodes (e.g. "אמת (Hebrew
root: א-מ-ן) is defined as..."). English unchanged.
- Enrich oov_geometric_context with node_depths for future geometric
anti-unification using roots.
- Extend recognition/connector.py to forward depth from EpistemicNode
paths into GraphNode.
- Add full Hebrew turn test under realizer_grounded_authority flag.
- Update related tests (semantic realizer, OOV context, surface resolution).
- Cleaned legacy type() hack immediately on discovery (hard-stop rule).
All targeted tests green (52+ in slices), broad relevant suite 581 passed.
Invariants preserved: versor only at owned boundaries, exact recall,
immutable updates, no new legacy parsers. 3 pillars upheld.

* feat: implement kernel substrate tranche 1 base-layer foundations
* fix(kernel): ground scalar spans and tighten morphology labels
Add extract_scalar_candidates() with exact source spans and problem_text
provenance while keeping canonicalize_scalar() as the detached pack helper.
Morphology labels now emit missing_* only when substrate frame/unit lookups
actually fail, not on mere trigger-surface presence.
Introduce deterministic practice-memory infrastructure that adapts sealed
scout output into compact, retention-gated ExperienceRecords with family,
hazard, and promotion-candidate summaries. No serving, corpus, pack, or
report.json mutation — measurement-only adapter for future sprint reuse.
Practice/scout showed 0003/0021 refuse on DCS no-injection while sealed
resolve_pooled commits correctly. Build Gate A2f typed revenue/weight product
organs narrower than disabled product_bridge; lifts train_sample 10/40/0 to
12/38/0 with wrong=0 and zero holdout_dev admissions.
* feat(derivation): Workstream A inc 2 — frontier report + rate_with_currency apply_rate injection
- scripts/gsm8k_frontier_report.py + test (stable buckets; rate_with_currency surfaced)
- docs/recognizer-registry.md + math_candidate_graph.py comments repaired (current refusal doctrine; old skip-only marked historical)
- generate/math_roundtrip.py: add 'a','an' to RATE_ANCHORS (with doc update)
- generate/recognizer_anchor_inject.py: inject_rate_with_currency (narrow ProperName actor, Rate/apply_rate CandidateOperation, rejects unsafe); registered in _INJECTORS; module docs updated
- tests/test_*_rate_injection*.py + frontier test (8+ unit cases, confusers, synthetic wiring, real-report frontier pin)
- ratification doc (pre-code)
- lookback (post-impl, truthful)
All required local commands exercised (pytest green for new + prior extract/invariants; frontier script shows rate bucket; runner per brief; shas captured).
wrong=0 held. No sealed movement. Proxy still expected !passed (correct_min=10).
See ratification and lookback for scope, hazards, exact outputs.
* fix(derivation): dollar grounding, roundtrip proofs, stale comment, lookback commit, a/an containment, duplicate import
- math_roundtrip: add explicit 'dollar'/'dollars' + '$' branch in _unit_grounds (symmetric to cent) + doc alignment.
- tests: assert roundtrip_admissible True for the emitted rate cands; add a/an containment/confuser test (dollar unit only grounds with $ present); add lower-level _apply_rate solver reach test; remove conditional happy-paths that tolerated refusal; clean duplicate __future__.
- math_candidate_graph: update active stale comment (injector-empty now leads to explicit refusal, not drop/preserve-zero).
- Commit the Inc2 lookback (was local-only).
All per lead block list. New head will be pushed.
* fix(derivation): address remaining Inc2 blockers (locate_rate_verb via matcher token, dispatch test, lookback accuracy, narrow symbols, tests)
- recognizer_match: updated _CURRENCY_AMOUNT_RE + parsing to populate 'rate_anchor_token' localized to the rate span (prevents whole-sentence 'a' hazard from 'a lemonade stand').
- recognizer_anchor_inject: use 'rate_anchor_token' from anchor (with allowed-set check); fallback only if absent. Added Alexa-style confuser coverage.
- injector: narrowed _CURRENCY_SYMBOL_TO_UNIT to $ only for Inc2.
- tests: strengthened dispatch to require live-registry non-empty + roundtrip_admissible; added rate_anchor_token confuser test proving 'per' (not earlier 'a') is used; roundtrip asserts already present.
- lookback: updated to 10 files, 10+6 test counts, current head reality, shas/runner status exact, no rebaseline.
- math_candidate_graph comment already corrected in prior.
All Semantic Rigor / wrong=0 invariants preserved. New tip after push.
* fix(inc2): remove rate fallback to _locate_rate_verb; mandatory rate_anchor_token; hard 'for one cup' confuser; strengthen per-span test; update lookback
- injector: for currency_per_unit_rate, rate_anchor_token is now mandatory. Absent or invalid → immediate return ().
No call to _locate_rate_verb for these anchors.
- tests: _rate_anchor helper now passes rate_anchor_token.
- Added hard confuser test for 'Alexa ... for one cup.' — live registry + inject_from_match must emit ().
- Strengthened distracting-a ' per' test to unconditional: m not None, RATE_WITH_CURRENCY, len==1, matched_verb=='per', roundtrip_admissible True.
- lookback updated for 11 files, include matcher.py, rate_anchor_token centrality, exact counts after this.
* docs: pin exact final SHA in Inc2 lookback

* feat(derivation): Workstream A inc 1 — lexeme-only reader components for fractions/comparatives + cleaned Phase B exemplars + proxy rebaseline (ratified, post-review fixes)
- generate/derivation/extract.py: lexeme-only passes (surface tokens only; no synthesized values or non-surface source_tokens for "half of", "X/Y of", "X more/less than"). Composition deferred per module contract (ADR-0165). Hygiene and EX-6 preserved. Docstring updated.
- teaching/admissibility_exemplars/*_v1.jsonl: grown + cleaned (removed category-polluted seeds, deduplicated ma IDs, fixed comparative exemplar to surface tokens per lexeme rule).
- evals/gsm8k_math/train_sample/v1/report.json: rebaselined after fixes (runner executed; wrong=0 held).
- docs/analysis/*-2026-06-1[6-7].md + lookback: ratif + honest post-review lookback (local paths removed, scope claims match actual clean diff, extractor/exemplar fixes documented).
Governing: the two 2026-06-16/17 ratifications (included; local session path replaced with stable ref). Scope per ratif: reader (lexeme) + exemplar growth (clean) + rebaseline + tests + lookback. No sealed, no CLOSE (deferred), 0 wrong.
Added tests in test_adr_0179_extract.py for new lexeme paths + grounding.
Branch prepared clean from origin/main; diff limited to scoped files only (no posture ratif, no runtime_contracts drift).
See updated lookback and PR body for full evidence (6/44/0 or current post-fix, tests green, etc.).
(Addresses review: Semantic Rigor restored, branch hygiene, exemplar quality, tests, docs.)
* fix(review): resolve all verifiability blockers
- generate/derivation/extract.py: conflict markers removed (was from stash); lexeme-only implementation confirmed clean.
- tests/test_adr_0179_extract.py: added TestWorkstreamAReaderLexemeOnly class with direct tests for half-of, fraction-of, more/less components, source_token grounding, no-synthesis invariants.
- evals/gsm8k_math/train_sample/v1/report.json: fresh rebaseline via runner with fixed code (6/44/0, wrong=0).
- docs/analysis/gsm8k-workstream-a-increment-1-lookback-2026-06-17.md: updated to exactly match the actual diff and actual report numbers on this head.
- No conflict markers remain in extract, tests, lookback, ratifs, or exemplars (verified by grep).
- Branch head now clean and matches all claims in PR body/lookback.
This is the verifiable head for the lead engineer review.
* fix(test): make lexeme-only half test case-insensitive on source_token to match actual extraction (preserves input casing like other EX tests)
* fix(review): commit current report.json (6/44/0 from runner) and updated lookback so they appear in branch diff; lookback now exactly matches actual files in git diff --name-only and actual test count (29) and report numbers.
* fix(review): precise fractional doc in extract contract (normalizes factors while preserving source_token; comparative deferred); remove stale comparative sum/diff comments; lookback exact reality (29/29 tests, no deep-dive in diff, no sum/diff claim); mark remaining exemplars REVIEW-REQUIRED/ambiguous with explicit notes. Small final patch.
* fix(exemplars): remove three REVIEW-REQUIRED ambiguous-but-machine-admissible seeds (rwc-v1-0022, rwc-v1-0023, ma-v1-0024) from ingested JSONL to eliminate synthesis-poisoning risk per final review. Update lookback wording for actual seed count and rationale. Small final patch.
* docs(lookback): align exemplar category list with actual diff (only dcs/rwc/ma touched in this increment; no ca/ta/dsnq changes)
Define the long-term architectural posture for CLOSE-derived facts and FrameVerdict as deliberate non-interaction.
Adds the ratification artifact and updates runtime contracts to preserve the open/proposal/review lane separately from the closed-world FrameVerdict lane, with INV-30/INV-31 and pillar references.
PR: #795
- Ratified first (docs/analysis/close-flywheel-proposal-review-visibility-ratification-2026-06-16.md) before any impl edits.
- Additive proposal_review_posture in evals/close_derived_climb (from already-captured emission bodies; asserts born proposal_only/SPECULATIVE/requires_review posture, review_eligible, none_accepted_or_promoted inside the yardstick).
- Additive proposal_review_summary in evals/anti_regression DemoReport + run_demo (teaching gate review_states + ProposalLog transition counts from the temp log events exercised by S1-S3; close_derived subsection from the embedded climb).
- Updated RESULT text, contract test docstring + soft presence assert, climb __init__/contract, testing-lanes (new subsection), anti-regression docs, runtime_contracts.
- All strictly within scope: measurement/visibility only; no changes to review logic, FrameVerdict, promotion, teaching mutation, or core behavior.
- Verified: 90 contract tests green, core demo anti-regression JSON + text show the signals, climb posture present with correct values, wrong_total=0, all_gates_held + corpus_identical preserved, smoke lanes unaffected.
- Builds on #793 dedicated surface + #792/#791 embedding. Third Door / Mechanical Sympathy / Semantic Rigor alignment per ratif.
- No brief adjustments needed; workflow, scope, and success criteria followed exactly.
- Makefile: new 'test-close-flywheel' target (clearly named heavy surface; runs full Claim-B yardstick + anti embedding; explicitly not in fast/slow/full).
- docs/testing-lanes.md: new prominent 'Dedicated CLOSE Flywheel Regression Surface (Claim-B Level)' section with purpose, invocation (make primary), full Claim-B capabilities list, runtime (~60s+ heavy), hermeticity guarantees, Engineering Pillars alignment (Mechanical Sympathy / Semantic Rigor / Third Door per Whitepaper), and all cross-refs (ratifs, contract, anti demo, etc.).
- Cleanly embed / polish (additive, hermetic, building on #792): anti_regression/run_demo.py (comments + RESULT label the surface + make target), test_anti_regression_demo.py (updated docstring), docs/evals/anti_regression_demo.md (how-to + complementary section updated for surface participation).
- Supporting: contract.md (dedicated surface note + ratif links), runtime_contracts.md (tightened ref).
Ratified first (docs/analysis/close-flywheel-dedicated-regression-surface-ratification-2026-06-16.md). Strictly in scope. Preserves all invariants (wrong_total=0, determinism, proposal-only, etc.). No core, no CLI additions, no fast/CI inclusion, no teaching logic changes.
See ratification for pillars justification and 'why only correct path'.
- Semantic: determine() asserts (rule=direct) on positives post-FP in climbs
- Lived flag: _proposal_flag_effect now uses real idle_tick + IdleTickResult.derived_close_proposals_emitted (temp sink isolation)
- Checksum: added content_replay_checksum (canonical closures + proposal bodies)
- Docs: contract.md + module docstrings updated for accuracy
Ratification artifact created before impl (see docs/analysis/...-ratification-...md).
All original metrics, wrong_total=0, invariants preserved.
Closes the 3 gaps from post-merge audit for Claim B.
* test(proposals): cover derived CLOSE proposal bridge
- Flag-off and emission for member/subset + relational transitive derived facts.
- Stable dedupe, skips for non-derived/malformed/unsupported.
- No status upgrade, no corpus side-effects.
- Runtime flag wiring smoke (consolidate + bridge on → emits after idle_tick).
- Re-runs of PR-1 tests + invariants stay green.
* feat(proposals): emit review-gated proposals from derived CLOSE facts
- New focused emitter generate/determine/derived_close_proposals.py:
- collect eligible derived (member/subset + TRANSITIVE) with entailed Derivation + SPECULATIVE.
- deterministic sort + stable dedupe key (predicate+args+derivation+structure_key).
- write proposal-only artifacts (source=derived_close_fact) to dedicated sink.
- best-effort, counts returned, safe skips.
- RuntimeConfig: review_derived_close_proposals (default False), documented.
- ChatRuntime.idle_tick: after consolidation (when flag on), call emitter best-effort (no did_work, no engine checkpoint).
- IdleTickResult: new field derived_close_proposals_emitted (additive, documented).
- No change to existing proposal_review contract or comprehension-failure sink.
- No serving/determine side-effects.
* docs(proposals): document derived CLOSE proposal bridge
- docs/runtime_contracts.md: new subsection under idle passes describing eligibility,
contract (proposal-only, review-gated, default-off, no corpus/COHERENT/serving change),
and cross-ref to the analysis note.
- New dated analysis note with why (flywheel bridge after PR-1), architecture/boundaries,
artifact schema, dedupe, tests, non-goals, and composition with PR-1/PR-3.
- Tiny high-level pointer not added (no suitable learning-loop section in README at this granularity).
* fix(proposals): harden derived CLOSE proposal emission
* test(determine): cover relational transitive CLOSE consolidation
- extend with rel_pack + _tell_rel/_ask_rel/_rel_facts helpers using comprehend_relational for strict-order facts
- positives: less_than(a,b)+less_than(b,c) -> consolidate less_than(a,c); before_event same; greater/after covered
- derived record shape: .derived=True, epistemic_status="speculative", derivation.rule="transitive", .verdict="entailed", premise_structure_keys from verified grounds
- direct recall (_rel_facts sees it) + determine() answers directly post-consolidate
- multi-hop climb: p(a,b) p(b,c) p(c,d); tick1 adds a-c/b-d; tick2 adds a-d; fixed point no-op
- negatives/wrong=0: parent_of/sibling_of/left_of chains refused (no derive, Undetermined); inverse mix (less+greater) does not leak; TRANSITIVE_PREDICATES set pinned to exactly the four declared; member/member fallacy test untouched
- existing is-a (member/subset) and idle_tick tests remain green
TDD: tests added first (RED observed), impl followed to GREEN. Targeted consolidation/relational/invariants pass.
* feat(determine): consolidate declared relational transitive derived facts
- import TRANSITIVE_PREDICATES and _relational_transitive (narrow reuse of Phase C verifier)
- add _relational_transitive_one_hop_candidates(ctx): for p in TRANSITIVE only, direct 2-hops p(a,c) from realized p(a,b)+p(b,c), no reflexive (a==c), dedup vs existing, same-pred only (no inverse/symmetric/cross-predicate), deterministic sort
- consolidate_once: recall member/subset as before + rel_cands via new helper; unify + global (predicate,subject,object) sort for determinism independent of recall
- processing loop: if predicate in TRANSITIVE_PREDICATES: det = _relational_transitive(...) ; if not Determined continue; realize_derived(..., rule="transitive", premise_structure_keys from det.grounds) ; else: original _verify_subsumption + _RULE...
- verification mandatory before any write (candidate construction insufficient); realize_derived produces SPECULATIVE record with replayable derivation metadata
- budget: per-p _TRANSITIVE_EDGE_BUDGET enforced inside the reused verifier (safe no-write on over); is-a subset budget unchanged
- no change to member/subset paths or _one_hop sig for is-a; member∨member fallacy structurally unreachable as before
- wrong_total=0, INV-30 (open-world, no answer=False), only the four declared preds, no FrameVerdict, no corpus/ratified mutation
Extends CLOSE (Step D) to climb declared relational transitive substrate (Phase C) exactly as specified. Existing subsumption behaviour preserved.
* docs(determine): document relational CLOSE extension + capability-slice PR workflow
- Extended the canonical "Idle consolidation (Step D — CLOSE)" section in runtime_contracts.md to name the new declared relational transitive support (less_than/greater_than/before/after) while re-stating every existing contract (SPECULATIVE honesty, wrong=0 by verifier, replayable provenance, session-only, no COHERENT, no parallel path, etc.).
- Added dated analysis note docs/analysis/close-relational-transitive-pr1-2026-06-16.md: the reusable, organized record of (a) what PR-1 delivered, (b) full evidence, (c) the 3-PR sequence with wait conditions, (d) exact branch/worktree starting discipline (clean origin/main reconcile + force-fresh feat/ creation to avoid hygiene mix), (e) finishing/PR discipline (logical slices, 9-section report format), and (f) the documentation obligation when design/capability changes land.
- Tiny accurate cross-ref in root README.md near the learning-loop demo (high-level only; contract details live in runtime_contracts.md).
This satisfies the "properly update README.md's / documentation etc." rule for a design/capability extension. The note itself is the "solid organized, clean plan" for future slices.
* wip(b4): lift _basis to generate/epistemic_basis.py (behavior-preserving)
B4 PR-1 foundation checkpoint — the shared epistemic-basis helper extracted
byte-identically from determine.py so the closed-world frame_verdict evaluator
(coming) can compute standing without importing determine (ADR-0222 §8 A3).
determine.py imports it aliased; its 3 Determined sites + INV-30 unchanged.
PAUSED: rest of B4 (FrameVerdict type, evaluator, INV-31, PR-2/3/4) resumes
after the suite-speed arc.
* feat(frame-verdict): closed-world envelope + isolated evaluator + INV-31 (B4 PR-1)
The sealed, off-serving FrameVerdict type + the isolated text-frame evaluator + the
INV-31 firewall (ADR-0222). Composes proof_chain.entail (no second prover); a
closed-world False comes ONLY from an ROBDD refutation; absence is never false.
- generate/frame_verdict/{types,evaluate,__init__}: FrameVerdict / ClosedFrame /
ClosedWorldProof + PositiveRefutationKind enum. evaluate_frame_verdict(frame, query)
maps entail ENTAILED/REFUTED/UNKNOWN/REFUSED -> entailed_true/false/undetermined/
contradiction/scope_boundary; OPEN / undeclared-closure / non-TEXT -> scope_boundary.
__post_init__ admissibility: entailed_false needs a NAMED positive refutation; a
generic FALSIFIED raises. trace_hash is order-invariant + replay-stable.
- INV-31 (test_architectural_invariants.py): A1 determine.py clean+visible; A2 exact
construction allowlist (evals-inclusive, tests-excluded) + non-vacuity anchor; A3
transitive spine -/-> frame_verdict (reuses INV-27 walker) + resolve anchor; B1
determine() refuses a ClosedFrame. B2 deferred to the governance slice (no
non-vacuous surface yet; ADR §8 permits).
No serving wire. determine.py unchanged except the _basis import. No Determined(answer=False).
INV-30 green. Shapes follow the B4 operator master brief (PositiveRefutationKind enum,
closure_declared/source/provenance) — a consistent refinement of ADR-0222 §3.
Verified: 97 (full INV incl. INV-31 + FrameVerdict + OWA floor) + 20 frame_verdict + 35 determine.
* feat(frame-verdict): text closed-world (CWA) evaluation lane (B4 PR-2)
A measure-only lane over the text FrameVerdict evaluator (ADR-0222). Proves the sealed
type evaluates propositional closed frames safely — incl. a sound entailed_false —
without touching determine() or runtime serving.
- evals/frame_verdict_text_cwa/: cases.jsonl (12 cases across all 5 verdict kinds +
gating + absence safety), oracle.py (an INDEPENDENT truth-table propositional checker —
own recursive-descent parser + brute-force enumeration, disjoint from the ROBDD; imports
no engine module), score.py, README.
- tests/test_frame_verdict_text_cwa_lane.py: wrong=0; the disjoint oracle confirms every
gold (non-vacuity) AND the engine matches the oracle on every case; entailed_false is
proof-backed (ROBDD_REFUTATION); absence / OPEN / undeclared-closure are never
entailed_false; SHA-pinned fixtures.
Input contract: propositional-formula strings (no prose lowering). Capability-index
deliberately NOT touched (off-serving lane; documented). No Determined, no answer=False,
no serving wire. INV-30 / INV-31 / ProofWriter-OWA stay green.
* feat(frame-verdict): perception changed-slot falsification adapter (B4 PR-3)
Lift an ADR-0211 FalsificationRun into a FrameVerdict SAFELY (ADR-0222 §5.2). Critical
doctrine: "FALSIFIED" is not enough — only a POSITIVELY observed changed-slot contradiction
produces entailed_false (PERCEPTION_CHANGED_SLOT). Missing observation (absence), unexpected
extra (over-observation), and a whole-missing actual frame NEVER become false — they refuse
(undetermined / scope_boundary). SUPPORTED -> entailed_true (frame-conformance proven).
- generate/frame_verdict/perception_adapter.py: frame_verdict_from_perception_falsification;
the proof carries the FULL run trace_hash (binds expected+actual+verdict, ADR §5.4).
- generate/frame_verdict/_construct.py: extracted the single FrameVerdict builder; the text
evaluator + perception adapter both funnel through it, so the literal FrameVerdict(...)
lives in ONE file -> INV-31 ALLOWED_FRAME_VERDICT_SITES = {_construct.py}.
- tests: changed-slot -> entailed_false (+ empty-hash raises); missing/unexpected/whole-missing
never false; supported -> entailed_true; non-perception -> scope_boundary.
Off-serving; perception_adapter is in generate.frame_verdict, so INV-31 A3 already proves it
unreachable from the open-world spine. No determine() change, no answer=False. INV-30 / INV-31
/ ProofWriter-OWA / text-CWA lane stay green.
* feat(response-governance): default-dark FrameVerdict surface mapping (B4 PR-4)
The only lawful surface path for a closed-world verdict (ADR-0222 §7/§14). Lowers a
FrameVerdict to a served disposition through the EXISTING epistemic_disclosure tables (no
parallel object): entailed_true/false -> COMMIT at INFERRED + DisclosureClaim.NONE (a
committed "Yes"/"No"; entailed_false is an answer, NOT a contradiction/refusal/LimitationKind);
contradiction -> REPORT; undetermined -> REFUSE; scope_boundary -> EXPLAIN.
DEFAULT-DARK: a NEW module that changes no existing file — the open-world govern_response /
shape_surface STRICT path is byte-identical, and nothing in the live runtime calls it. The
TYPE is the closed-world tag: a forged dict / untagged object cannot widen serving (raises).
INV-31: A3 still green — core/response_governance/frame_verdict.py is NOT imported by the
package __init__ or the open-world spine, so frame_verdict stays unreachable from
chat/runtime/session/vault. The B2 anchor is now live (the forged-object rejection); all six
INV-31 anchors firm. The open-world render_determination cannot render a FrameVerdict;
determine() still has no answer=False.
Verified: 84 (governance + full INV incl. INV-31 A3/B2) green.
* harden(frame-verdict): fold in adversarial-review findings (B4)
A 4-skeptic adversarial read of PR-1..4 against real source surfaced one
soundness gap (major) and four defensive gaps (minor). All folded in; the
4 B4 files + full INV suite stay green (128 passed).
S1 (major) — perception negation was not frame-gated. The text evaluator
refuses OPEN / undeclared-closure frames (-> SCOPE_BOUNDARY) but the
perception adapter only gated frame_kind + the missing-frame sentinel, so a
PERCEPTION + OPEN + changed-slot residual produced entailed_false with
world_assumption=OPEN — a verdict that self-contradicts the type invariant
(OPEN => negation illegal). Fixed two ways:
* perception_adapter: gate OPEN / not-closure_declared -> SCOPE_BOUNDARY,
mirroring the text evaluator (graceful upstream refusal);
* types.__post_init__ §(0): STRUCTURAL backstop — ENTAILED_FALSE + OPEN
raises, frame-general, so NO producer (text/perception/future) can emit
an OPEN-world negation even if it forgets the gate.
S4-a — entailed_true was admissibility-asymmetric. Only entailed_false was
proof-gated at construction; a committed "Yes." leaned entirely on the
INV-31-A2 allowlist. Added a symmetric §(2) guard: entailed_true requires a
positive entailment/support proof (proof_chain.entail/ENTAILED or
sensorium.falsification/SUPPORTED), non-empty sha, and NO refutation kind —
a mutation test can now trip a forged positive.
S2 — A2 construction detector extended to flag FrameVerdict.<factory>(...)
classmethod constructions and module-qualified mod.FrameVerdict(...), so a
future alternate constructor cannot evade ALLOWED_FRAME_VERDICT_SITES. The
dataclasses.replace gap is RECORDED (a blanket replace() match would
false-positive tree-wide) for the serving-wiring PR, not faked.
S4-b/c — A3 firewall now bars core.response_governance.frame_verdict
DIRECTLY (not only via its re-import of generate.frame_verdict), plus a new
test proving the response_governance package __init__ stays default-dark
(does not re-export the adapter).
S3 — oracle grammar is a strict SUBSET of proof_chain.entail (it mis-parses
`false` as a free atom). Corrected the docstring and added a lane guard:
every DECIDED cases.jsonl formula must stay inside the subset, so a future
out-of-subset case fails loudly at SHA-add review instead of as a confusing
engine-vs-oracle red. SCOPE_BOUNDARY-gold garbage is exempt (both refuse).
S1-minor (construction-time-only admissibility) documented in __post_init__:
a future codec/deserialization path must re-construct via build_frame_verdict.
* docs(analysis): B4 FrameVerdict implementation lookback (PR-1..4 + hardening)
Mandatory multi-slice lookback (CLAUDE.md triggers 2+3). Audits all six B4
commits across the lookback template: documentation drift, test-coverage /
parity gaps, wrong=0 hazard surface, cross-slice consistency, honest LOC.
Categorized findings: solid (INV-30 untouched; entailed_false positive-only;
INV-31 firewall non-vacuous; default-dark; replay determinism) / hazards (the
5 adversarial-review findings, ALL fixed in the hardening commit) / recorded
gaps (dataclasses.replace A2 hole + construction-time-only admissibility,
both deferred with an explicit guard obligation on the serving-wiring PR) /
drift (type shapes are a consistent refinement of ADR-0222 §3; one non-gating
ADR note filed). Global red-line ledger: all green.
A handful of soak / bench / replay / proof / eval-matrix tests dominate the
suite wall-clock (~50 tests ≈ the entire 73-min serial runtime; the other ~10k
are near-instant). Classify them so developers can run a fast lane locally.
Mechanism — central registry in conftest.py beside QUARANTINE (cost is empirical
test-infra metadata, not test semantics, so it lives in one auditable place, not
as decorators across ~24 files). Marker-only: it stamps `slow`, it NEVER skips,
so `-m slow` SELECTS the slow tests.
- SLOW_FILES (10): whole-file, where a module/session fixture carries the cost
(marking one test would just shift the fixture cost to the next requester).
- SLOW_TESTS (26 nodeids): mixed files, so the file's fast predicate/unit tests
stay in the fast lane.
- pytest_collection_modifyitems stamps `slow`; marker registered in pyproject.
912 of 10,596 tests classified (801 = test_cognition_eval_register_matrix
eval-matrix; called out in docs — honest accounting).
Lanes (Makefile + docs/testing-lanes.md):
fast: pytest -m "not quarantine and not slow"
slow: pytest -m "slow and not quarantine"
full: pytest -m "not quarantine" (unchanged — what CI runs)
CI is unaffected: smoke.yml and full-pytest.yml run `-m "not quarantine"`, which
still includes the slow tests. No CI behavior change; no test logic touched (the
change cannot alter pass/fail in the full lane — it only adds a marker).
Timings (10-core, numpy): full 73min serial / 25min -n auto; fast ~26min serial
/ 9.5min -n auto (7.7x combined). The 975s test_inner_loop_phase2 outlier was
probed (expected proof-scale work, not a bug; finding in docs). Deferred to
follow-up PRs: -n auto by default (needs xdist hermeticity — fresh-env-dict
subprocess + report.json/proposals writers race under parallel workers) and a
warm-runtime fixture for the remaining 1-15s ChatRuntime tail.
Durable handoff brief for B4 PR-1, the first implementation step of the ADR-0222
closed-world boundary: the sealed FrameVerdict type + the isolated text-frame evaluator
+ the INV-31 two-part firewall, plus the behavior-preserving _basis lift.
Red line: PR-1 is NOT a closed-world serving feature — sealed type/evaluator + INV-31
firewall only. No runtime caller, no governance integration, no session/vault/chat wire,
no perception adapter, no CWA lane, no prose lowering.
Documentation/handoff ONLY — no implementation code in this PR. Source of truth: ADR-0222 (#780).
Cross-PR lookback review of the composed relational surface on merged main:
one-hop inverse/symmetric (#775) + transitive strict-order (#781) + overlaps_event
finite-verb reader (#783). Verdict: SOLID — 37 solid findings across predicate
tables / interactions / soundness / measurement / documentation; 0 hazards, 0 drift,
0 fix-before-next-phase.
Verified on merged main 0be18ebd: 128 relational/capability/OWA tests + 19 INV
firewalls (INV-30/29/21/25/27) + 99 smoke, all green. The three capabilities compose
with no cross-PR regression; every determination stays open-world True-only; the
B4/closed-world boundary (ADR-0222) is untouched and design-only (no runtime
FrameVerdict; INV-31 is a future obligation).
Cleanup (the only finding): remove an unused `pack` fixture parameter from
test_symmetric_table_matches_pack_ontology — cosmetic, the test re-loads the pack
internally and is non-vacuous.
Step-3 relational implementation complete.
Ratifies ADR-0222 as the design-only B4 artifact for FrameVerdict: a frame-general closed-world verdict type distinct from open-world Determined.
No runtime type, entry point, lane, or answer=False path is added in this PR. Implementation remains gated behind PR-1 with INV-31, the landed OWA refusal floor, and the staged plan in the ADR.
Final ratification patches included:
- positive_refutation_kind discriminator for entailed_false admissibility;
- PR-1-scoped Determined count wording;
- grounded-negative governance resolution as COMMIT-with-negative-surface at EpistemicState.INFERRED + DisclosureClaim.NONE.
Documents the systemic non-hermetic-test hazard surfaced during ADR-0220: ~340 of
469 ChatRuntime constructions across 123 test files default to the shared
engine_state/ dir, so tests read/pollute each other's checkpoints (the spurious
test_achat identity-continuity warning). Records the interim rule (new/edited
tests must pass engine_state_path=tmp_path or no_load_state) and the recommended
future fix (root conftest autouse fixture monkeypatching engine_state._DEFAULT_DIR
+ CORE_ENGINE_STATE_DIR), deferred to its own full-suite-validated PR. Docs only.
* docs(handoff): Step-3 relational-reasoning brief pack
Four parallel-safe briefs continuing the comprehend->determine arc after #775
(one-hop relational inference, breadth 10). Ordered OWA-first per the merge-safety
sequencing — harden unknown!=false before transitive/closed-world stress it:
1. ProofWriter-OWA refusal-floor lane (measure-only; standalone wrong=0 gate, NOT a
capability-index domain) — dispatch first.
2. Transitive relational chains (strict-order predicates only; reuses the proof_chain
ROBDD search-then-verify; non-transitive predicates must refuse).
3. overlaps_event finite-verb reader surface (closes#775's known coverage gap).
4. FrameVerdict / two-sided closed-world — DESIGN ONLY, gated behind brief 1 landing
and design ratification; no answer=False path, INV-30 preserved.
Each brief carries the shared acceptance gates (independent oracle, pos+neg fixtures,
capability-index movement, replay-stable, wrong=0, INV-30 green, no template spam) +
dispatch lines. B1/B2/B3 are file-disjoint and parallel-safe; B4 is gated.
* docs(handoff): tighten Step-3 brief dispatch semantics
* docs(handoff): address gemini-code-assist review on the Step-3 brief pack
- B1 (OWA): gold extended to {True, Unknown, False}; include gold-False items
(negation entailed). determine() is True-or-refuse, so asserting True on ANY
non-True gold (Unknown OR False) is the wrong=0 breach — strengthens the floor.
- B2 (transitive): inside_of + during_event are ALSO transitive (containment);
now explicitly DEFERRED from the first cut (admit only with their own confuser
fixtures), not silently omitted.
- B3 (finite-verb): added the finite-verb QUERY surface as scope — _read_relational_clause
requires questions to start with 'is', so an overlaps_event query is unparseable
today; pin one interrogative form (Does A overlap B?) and fail-closed, else the
symmetric case refuses and yields no coverage.
Removes code_revision from the engine-identity hash: engine_identity is now the
sha256 of the 5 ratified packs ONLY. The build revision is provenance (the
manifest's written_at_revision), not identity — so a behavior-neutral rebuild is
the SAME identity and the always-on daemon no longer flag-day strict-breaks on
every commit (the ADR-0220 defect).
Core:
- core/engine_identity.py: ratified_substrate/compute_engine_identity drop the
git_revision arg (packs-only); add compute_legacy_engine_identity (reproduces
the pre-split packs+rev hash, for migration verification), ENGINE_IDENTITY_SCHEME=2,
IdentityReconciliation enum, and reconcile_loaded_identity — the single source of
truth for the runtime guard AND the workbench reader.
- chat/runtime.py: the load guard reconciles via scheme. Current scheme -> direct
packs-only compare. Legacy (code_revision-folded) stamp -> a VERIFYING migration:
reconstruct the legacy hash from the persisted written_at_revision; a match proves
packs unchanged (warn + re-stamp, resume, no break) — a mismatch means the packs
genuinely changed (DIVERGED -> strict-refuse). Preserves 'distinct packs => refuse'.
- engine_state/save_manifest: stamp identity_scheme alongside engine_identity
(additive-optional; no schema_version bump).
- workbench/readers.py: continuity reader uses the same reconcile (no phantom break
on legacy checkpoints). cli.py break message reworded (packs, not 'build revision').
Callsite cleanup: drop the now-unused git_revision arg + imports across
always_on.py, evals/l10_always_on/runner.py, workbench/readers.py.
Tests:
- test_identity_provenance_split.py (new): 5 reconcile unit proofs + 3 runtime
integration proofs incl. the wrong=identity defense (legacy stamp of DIFFERENT
packs still strict-refuses) and the re-stamp migration.
- test_engine_identity.py: invert the code-revision test (rev no longer changes
identity); assert the substrate is packs-only.
- Restore 3 lineage tests silently red since ADR-0219 (flat-path _manifest helper
now resolves the gen-dir).
- Update remaining callsites/monkeypatches for the new signature.
Hygiene: .gitignore now covers the ADR-0219 gen-dir runtime files
(current, gen-*/, session_state.json, proposals.jsonl).
Verified: 59 identity/migration/lineage/workbench + 32 L10 + 76 invariants/cli +
34 smoke pass; serving lane SHAs unchanged (no derivation/reliability_gate touch).
Records why main is protected with CI status checks only — no required approvals,
no required code-owner review. Public exclusion comes from repo WRITE ACCESS, not
a review rule; a self-approval requirement on a single-identity repo only creates
an unsatisfiable deadlock that forces --admin on every merge (cf #772).
- ADR-0221: context (the deadlock), the misconception corrected, the decision,
an explicit 'do not re-add human-review gates' guard for future agents, the
applied gh-api change, and the break-glass log.
- CODEOWNERS: comment corrected to ADVISORY-ONLY (require_code_owner_reviews is
now false); keeps * @AssetOverflow for ownership/auto-request, not gating.
Applied 2026-06-15: required_approving_review_count 1->0, require_code_owner_reviews
true->false; required status checks unchanged. This PR is the first through the
fixed normal path — its clean, approval-free, no-admin merge is the proof.
Mastery-v2 Step 2 (DCS/W2 reconciliation audit). The reviewer flagged that
ADR-0170 might still read as pending while the code shipped. Audit (read source
+ provenance + measured the metric) confirms:
- DCS-S1 acquisition (W2) is INTENTIONALLY SERVING, not a boundary escape:
PR #377 (b190f3b6) landed it in serving _INJECTORS BEFORE the sealed lane
(ADR-0186 = PR #487) existed. The sealed lane (_SEALED_INJECTORS = {}) is
correctly empty, reserved for future W3-W5.
- wrong=0 held: train_sample committed 4/0/46, confirmed live on current code
(test_adr_0126_train_sample_runner 4/4 green); 6 committed cases exercise the
acquisition path (collected x4, collects, receives).
- Placement already mechanically pinned by the existing test pair —
test_adr_0170_w2 (W2 emits via serving _INJECTORS) + test_adr_0186 (sealed
lane is an empty no-op) — so NO new test is added (would be redundant).
Two stale docs, now reconciled (documentation-only; no code/logic change):
1. ADR-0170 status: "Proposed / no runtime change" -> "Accepted; W1+W2 shipped";
implementation-outline annotated with shipped/deferred status per W-stage.
2. recognizer_anchor_inject.py sealed-lane comment: "resume ADR-0170 W2-W5" ->
"W3-W5", noting W2 ships from serving _INJECTORS (PR #377), never the lane.
W1+W2/sealed-lane/train_sample lanes: 36/36 green.
Adds the one missing mechanical firewall in the learning-boundary set: the
open-world determination gear (generate/determine/determine.py) may construct
only Determined(answer=True) or refuse (Undetermined) — it can never assert
answer=False. Absence never refutes (open-world); a False from absence would be
an unsound, wrong=0-class assertion. The planned DEEPEN/Step-2b closed-world
entailed-negation capability (ProofWriter-CWA / FOLIO two-sided labels) must use
a distinct closed-world result type and entry point, so this invariant keeps it
lane-scoped by construction rather than by reviewer vigilance.
INV-30 follows the existing suite's Schema-Defined-Proof-Obligation discipline:
- test_no_determined_asserts_false — the firewall (project-wide AST scan)
- test_detector_is_non_vacuous — proves it FAILS on injected answer=False
- test_detector_ignores_true_and_reads — proves no false positives
- test_determine_construction_sites_are_visible — proves the scan is not blind
Doctrine: CLAUDE.md Teaching Safety + docs/runtime_contracts.md now state the
corrected typed-learning boundary (durable=reviewed/proof-carrying;
provisional=autonomous iff typed/isolated/replayable/non-masquerading) and cite
the enforcing invariants INV-21/22/23/24/29/30, including the honest wrinkle that
ADR-0148 promote_eligible_entries is a second, opt-in, default-off COHERENT path.
No source code changed; firewall is additive.
Full architectural invariant suite: 65/65 green.
Documents the contradiction between ADR-0157 (revision mismatch = non-fatal
warning) and engine_identity.py:99 (same revision folded into the identity hash
= hard raise under strict continuity). Proposes the identity_substrate_hash vs
build_provenance_hash split (O3), staged A/B/C, with corrected operator-recovery
guidance (never mv/rm the default engine_state dir — it is the tracked package).
No code change; proposed, awaiting ratification.
Reconcile the living docs with the shipped Vault evidence surface:
- README "Shipped surfaces": record the Vault P0 (honest empty/unavailable
framing, #760), P1 (inspector depth + status/facet/text filters +
evidence-rail progression, #762/#763/#764), and P2 (read-only exact-CGA
recall, #766) arc as complete; enrich the Vault entry row. Read-only
throughout — no runtime controls.
- wave-R: extend the Vault surface bullet with the recall endpoint and the
P0/P1/P2 completion note + the +inf-self-match-sentinel honesty point.
- api-contract-v1: add GET /vault/entries/{index}/recall (purpose, errors,
trust boundary, cross-link to the data shape).
- data-shapes-v1: add VaultRecallHit / VaultRecall types.
- UI-UX-GUIDE: enrich the Vault row (inspector depth, filters, rail, opt-in
exact-CGA recall; read-only).
Docs-only; no code or contract behavior change.
Closes the cross-file checkpoint-atomicity gap in ADR-0156. The four
checkpoint files now live in a committed gen-NNNN/ directory; the single
atomic os.replace of a 'current' pointer file is the commit boundary.
A kill before the pointer swap leaves the prior committed generation
intact; a kill after commits the new generation. Unreferenced gen dirs
are ignored. ADR-0156's deferred parent-dir fsync is also closed.
Key changes:
- engine_state/__init__.py: begin_generation() + commit_generation() +
_resolve_dir() for all load_* methods. Flat-layout legacy checkpoints
migrate into gen-0000 on first begin_generation call. GC retains K=2
committed generations.
- chat/runtime.py: checkpoint_engine_state uses the two-phase commit;
finalize_turn_trace_hash no longer writes discovery_candidates outside
the generation sequence (the second unguarded write path is closed).
- evals/l10_continuity/runner.py: _inject_orphan_tmp updated to inject
the two orphan shapes of the generation model.
- tests/test_adr_0219_generation_checkpoint.py: 18 tests, one per
acceptance-gate bullet + biting mutation variant each.
L10 lane: all_gates_pass=true; versor_condition<1e-6 throughout.
Smoke: 95 passed. Runtime: 20 passed.
* feat(l10): autonomous idle frontier-contemplation — the always-on life learns on its own
Frontier survey move #2, path (c): give the always-on idle life a stream of experience via
SYMBOLIC intake (not the afferent→field seam, which is deferred pending a commensurability
ruling — docs/analysis/afferent-field-ingest-scope-2026-06-15.md). The idle heartbeat
converges (idle_tick drains a finite backlog + saturates is-a closure, then does nothing
forever); this makes it autonomously MINE its frontier with no user turn.
Reuse-heavy (the mechanism largely existed): a gated idle pass wires ADR-0080 contemplation
into the always-on loop.
- core/config.py: contemplate_frontier_during_idle (default off → no behavior change).
- chat/runtime.py: idle_tick pass 2b — when on, runs core.contemplation.run_contemplation()
(mines the checked-in frontier-compare reports) and persists a reviewable ContemplationRun
to <engine_state>/contemplation_runs/idle_<substrate_hash>.json. IDEMPOTENT per frontier
(an already-mined frontier is not re-persisted → the life converges, no churn) and MEMOIZED
per session (the static frontier is mined once, not re-read every beat). SPECULATIVE-only
(ADR-0080: ContemplationFinding.__post_init__ RAISES if not SPECULATIVE → wrong=0 by
construction; never ratified here — the HITL path is untouched). IdleTickResult gains
frontier_findings.
- chat/always_on.py: run_continuous did_work + HeartbeatRecord count frontier work, so the
heartbeat/soak convergence (H3) stays honest.
- core/cli.py: `core always-on --contemplate-frontier` (explicit learning-daemon mode) +
honest per-beat log ("+N findings").
Adversarial 3-lens review (wrong=0/convergence, determinism/trust-boundary, test-vacuity)
found 7; fixed the real ones: the MEDIUM torn-write (write_contemplation_run is now atomic
temp+os.replace — the indefinite-uptime daemon expects SIGKILL mid-write, and the skip-guard
would never repair a torn canonical file), the gitignore breadth (contemplation_runs/ at any
engine-state root), the 64-bit filename truncation (full substrate_hash), and the
re-mine-every-beat cost (session memoization). Deferred + documented: the shared
contemplation miner embeds absolute report paths in finding CONTENT — a portability wrinkle
that does NOT affect wrong=0/convergence/soak determinism (those key on the content-only
substrate_hash) and touches shared code + its test surface; a follow-up.
Tests (non-vacuous): 7 — off-by-default (no behavior change), mines-when-enabled,
findings-SPECULATIVE (wrong=0), converges-idempotent, heartbeat-mines-then-converges,
mines-once-per-session (memoization), atomic-no-orphan. 55 idle/contemplation/always-on +
96 invariants/contemplation + 28 smoke green; `core always-on --contemplate-frontier` mines
end-to-end. engine_state contemplation_runs are per-life runtime state (gitignored).
* fix(l10): isolate idle frontier pass + persist frontier_findings (#758)
Three review blockers on the autonomous idle frontier-contemplation pass:
1. Daemon isolation. idle_tick's pass 2b called run_contemplation /
write_contemplation_run bare inside the always-on loop (run_continuous
wraps idle_tick in nothing but an exit-checkpoint finally), so a malformed
frontier report or a transient FS fault would propagate out and KILL the
continuous life. Wrap the optional pass best-effort (the exit-checkpoint
boundary idiom): degrade to 0 findings + RuntimeWarning, leave did_work
untouched, let a later beat retry.
2. Durable did_work explanation. HeartbeatRecord carried frontier_findings
but serialize_report omitted it and AlwaysOnReport had no run total, so
lived_life.json could show did_work=true with facts=0/proposals=0 and no
persisted cause. Persist frontier_findings per-record + total_frontier_findings.
3. Honest HITL claim. The docstring/CLI/config said findings are "reviewable
via the HITL path", but the existing HITL queue + workbench reader scan
<repo>/contemplation/runs while the pass writes <engine_state>/contemplation_runs/.
Narrow the claim to "persisted reviewable artifact, not yet in the HITL
queue" (wiring that discovery is a follow-up).
Tests: 4 new non-vacuous regressions (mining-failure degrade, write-failure
degrade, always-on loop survives frontier failure, lived_life persists
frontier_findings) — all fail against the unpatched pass. 38 L10/always-on/
workbench tests green.
The wave-* planning docs record their wave, not current state. Add a
consistent "Historical record — superseded" banner to each, pointing to
README (Current Status), UI-UX-GUIDE, and the route registry as the live
sources. wave-1/R/M-worthiness/M-consolidation covered.
Docs only.
