Folds in Shay's rulings on the spike:
- ERRATA sections added to ADR-0249, ADR-0250, and both acceptance-evidence docs
(statuses stay Accepted): corpus label 'real GSM8K dev holdout' -> 'CORE-authored
GSM8K-style corpus (ADR-0119.2)'. Mechanism claims (wrong=0, PARITY, conservation,
atomicity, chain-of-custody, 200/200) all stand; reframe not retraction. Covers the
#74 review comment that repeated the label. (Also fixed ADR-0250 evidence status ->
RATIFIED, which the ratification housekeeping missed.)
- Two instruments named + never-blended scoreboard: authored = mechanism-correctness
(200/200 stands as that); official holdout = generalization (5/500 symbolic / 0/500
corridor). public/dev-1 floors relabeled MECHANISM floors, composition-disclosed.
- Censored-incidence fix: parse-INDEPENDENT tagging of 100 official cases (documented
heuristic). 70/100 carry frontier markers (rate 31, fraction 28, compare_mult 20) ->
(c) refuted, frontier COMMON not rare; the table is the reader-arc curriculum by
real-world frequency.
- Reader-practice-loop design with the four non-negotiable constraints (real held-out
data only; wrong=0 gates consolidation; sealed test untouched; holdout_dev split
disjoint from the measured metric). Sequencing: capability->practice->calibration->
serve; reader is the critical path for all three; serve-landing de-prioritized (0/500).
Spike verdict for ruling; nothing built.
Instrument: the arithmetic-chain domain now routes each real GSM8K dev case to
Tier-1 (single-accumulator) or Tier-2 (multi-register / summation) and compares
the corridor to a symbolic fold of the SAME compiled program. Recorded coverage
moves 26/50 -> 50/50, 0 refused, PARITY (wrong=0) — the measurement catching up
to the capability. Scope note corrected (full holdout closed; remaining frontier
= derived-operand transfers + non-affine kinds + >5-atom deduction, all 0 on this
holdout). Updated the ADR-0249 instrument test pins (26->50, refused 24->0).
ADR-0250 (Status Proposed, no self-Accept; §10 ruling awaits Shay) + acceptance
evidence: multi-register model, relative conservation, atomicity, certified
summation, chain-of-custody, and the full-holdout 50/50 wrong=0 result.
10/10 instrument pins green.
[Verification]: uv run python -m pytest tests/test_adr_0249_arithmetic_lift.py tests/test_generalized_lift_instrument.py -q
Stamp the §10 ruling record: Status Proposed→Accepted; four design rulings
affirmed; honest-by-construction measurement (0 wrong / 26 correct / 24 refused
on real GSM8K, PARITY vs symbolic fold) affirmed as the definitive outcome.
Next arc selected: Tier-2 arithmetic (multi-entity/transfer/rate/comparison/
fraction). Acceptance-evidence status updated to RATIFIED. Doc-only.
ADR-0249 documents the reader→Hamiltonian compiler (P1-P5): thesis (composition
= certified turn sequences), the five components, anti-hollow discipline, the
Ring-2 non-mutating correction, three-tier reproducibility, Tier-1 scope +
recorded frontier, and the honest-measurement done-when. Status Proposed — no
self-Accept; §10 ruling record awaits Shay.
Acceptance evidence: phases + merge SHAs, the real GSM8K dev-holdout result
(26/50 Tier-1 ingestible, wrong=0, PARITY vs symbolic fold, 24 multi-entity
refused = recorded frontier), in-tree algebra + CNF-soundness verification, the
design corrections applied, and the honest open register.
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):
+ evals/adr_0246_geometric_suite/ runnable §6.1 synthetic geometric suite
(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.
+ tests/test_adr_0246_geometric_suite.py pins every case + explicit §6.1 pins
(pi-inversion s=-1, 90deg s=0, near-singular Gram error, malformed-F error)
+ identity_manifold.py: MalformedVersorError + _validate_versor guard on
induced_action / typed_residual_energy (§6.1 fail-closed on malformed F)
+ docs/handoff/adr-0246-slice1-scaffold-notes.md placeholder list, §5-§7
uncertainties, constraint-compliance record, explicit Opus/human TODOs
+ docs/audit/artifacts/adr-0246-slice1-scaffold-runlog.txt actual run output
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
module default (PathBudget is caller-supplied) — flagged in notes + run log.
[Verification]: uv run core test --suite smoke -q => 176 passed;
python -m evals.adr_0246_geometric_suite => 14/14 all_passed;
ADR-0246 suites + adjacent D4 identity surfaces => 114 passed (see run log).
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.
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).
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.
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).
* 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.
Add a handoff brief with five screenshots captured by driving the real
vite-preview build with Playwright (mocked API), confirming the
full-content reveal works across the originally reported proposal queue
table, the trace propagation edges, and the trace selection rails — with
the row staying unselected on reveal (stopPropagation holds).
Verification only; no code change. Records the harness gotcha that a
role-by-name query resolves to the row, not the icon trigger.

The only genuine epistemic lever (per the finding). Scopes the ADR-0218 path: it
is the inductive step (coherent premises + verified proof -> coherent conclusion),
fail-closed and sound, but needs a curator-certified COHERENT base that nothing
mints today (bootstrapping). Wiring buys an honesty/disclosure upgrade (verified
for proven propositional conclusions), NOT a learning fix. wrong=0 risk shifts
entirely to the curator-certified base. Three options framed (wire narrowly /
record curator-mediated-by-design / defer) with recommendation.
The docs/proposal-artifact-substrate-v1 work (#727) — wave-m-consolidation-b3.5,
core-logos-studio-plan, proposal-artifact-substrate-v1 — is the authoritative
consolidation and supersedes the parallel 'Phase A' I'd just drafted. Reconciling
to one source of truth:
- FOLD IN the one genuine gap b3.5 missed (a design review caught it): the
Calibration centerpiece undersells — the reader reads the sub-N_MIN committed
practice report.json, so on live data no class shows licensed, while the
earned state (additive 95/5/100, PROPOSE-licensed) sits in the disagreeing
ratification_queue.json. Added as a diagnosis addendum + a Deliverable-2
acceptance criterion (make the committed practice artifacts coherent; show
≥1 earned class). Data-side fix, not a re-derivation.
- FOLD IN the grouped-navigation idea: a field on the route registry
(Deliverable 1) + the organism's-loop grouping (Converse/Cognition/Evidence/
Determinism/Discipline/Substrate/Settings), with the correction that
'core-logos' is the language/manifold Studio surface, not the cognition cluster.
- REDIRECT wave-M-worthiness.md's consolidation section to point at b3.5 instead
of defining a parallel Phase A.
- SCRAP duplicates: wave-M-phaseA-briefs (duplicated b3.5) and
workbench-ui-ux-guide-brief (superseded by b3.5 Deliverable 4).
Boils the design review and the information-architecture decision into one
integration. Phase B's heart (calibration/serving discipline) is done;
Phase A (Structure & Polish) now runs BEFORE resuming Phase C because two of
its items are structural prerequisites the Cognition cluster lands into.
Key synthesis: the command-palette drift bug and the grouped-nav idea are
the SAME fix — navigation derives from one registry that also encodes
structure. Standing IA constraint: one workbench, one address space, one
Chain Rail; grouping is a wayfinding skin, never an architectural fork; no
separate workbenches (the single evidence model is the thesis); 'levels' are
depth-within-a-surface, not top-level categories.
Phase A brief pack (wave-M-phaseA-briefs):
- A1: navigation registry (one source of truth) + grouped nav by the
organism's loop (Converse/Cognition=core-logos/Evidence/Determinism/
Discipline/Substrate/Settings) + palette fix (Demos+Calibration are
currently unreachable via ⌘K; the ⌘1-0 map is stale)
- A2: Calibration earned-state — the centerpiece undersells (reads the
sub-N_MIN report.json; the earned license lives in the disagreeing
ratification_queue). Primary fix: regenerate coherent practice artifacts;
fallback: reader surfaces both with provenance
- A3: Doctrine station ('how this UI can't lie') — elevate contracts/checks
into a first-class surface; trails, larger
Parked: B4 (needs engine-side license stamping; no re-derivation),
Calibration EvidenceSubject kind.
A teach-everything, indexed docs/workbench/UI-UX-GUIDE.md: thesis + evidence
model, the 11 routes (purpose/evidence/usage/states each), the design system
+ primitives, the full keyboard map, the doctrine gates as honesty proof,
replay-in-depth, glossary. Scoped for a mid-tier model: documentation over
shipped code, accuracy-over-completeness, Markdown-only, ground every claim
in the real components. Dispatch-ready.
Wave M takes the workbench to mastery and closes its biggest design gap:
it surfaces the teaching/ratification loop but is blind to the
calibrated-learning / serving-discipline loop (gold-tether arena, reliability
gate, Wilson floor vs θ ceiling, 'the engine earns the right to guess') and
to cognition itself (pipeline stages, field substrate, identity continuity).
Lens: Anthropic + xAI as target users who'd WANT to use it.
- wave-M-worthiness.md: full plan, Phases A–E, the missing-surfaces table,
the backend-reader-first / never-re-implement-engine-math disciplines,
execution order (B→C→D, A parallel).
- wave-M-phaseB-calibration-briefs: executable Phase B pack grounded in the
real core/reliability_gate shapes (ClassTally / conservative_floor /
license_for / Action θ) and the committed report.json evidence — B1
readers (GATING, Python), B2 Calibration route, B3 wrong=0 global frame,
B4 leeway wiring. Dependency DAG + STOP gates + no-theater rules.
First R3 (Theater) piece. Reworks the stale artifact-keyed ReplayRoute into
the turn-keyed hero over the #716 sealed-replay backend, and fully retires
the dead W-026 artifact-keyed machinery on both sides (the NOT_YET_MIRRORED
comment anticipated this).
The hero makes determinism *felt*: pick a journaled turn, CORE re-executes
its prompt in a sealed fresh runtime, and the result renders as a hash
verdict (≡ equivalent / ≠ diverged) + the original/replay DigestBadges + a
leaf diff (critical weighted above informational, each with a ≠ glyph). The
'What this proves' card surfaces comparison_basis + origin_state and states
the honest limit: a divergence means nondeterminism OR origin-state
influence, never rendered on its own as a determinism failure.
Retirement (verified zero serving uses):
- Python schemas.py: removed ReplayComparison/ReplayDivergence/ReplayStatus/
ReplayDivergenceSeverity; scripts/dump-enums.py drops the two replay enums;
both snapshots regenerated (deterministic: dump == committed)
- TS: removed ReplayComparison/ReplayDivergence/ReplayDivergenceSeverity;
added TurnReplayComparison/TurnReplayDivergence (+ basis/origin/severity
unions); NOT_YET_MIRRORED now empty (every engine schema mirrored)
- badges: removed ReplayStatusBadge + ReplayDivergenceSeverityBadge +
meta/enums + their enumCoverage cases (hero renders severity inline)
- api: fetchReplayComparison/useReplayComparison -> fetchTurnReplay/
useTurnReplay (/replay/<turnId>)
- deleted ArtifactList, ReplayComparisonPanel, ReplayDiffViewer,
ReplayMetadataTable, old replay.test.tsx
- App route /replay/:artifactId? -> /replay/:turnId?; conformance row
turn-keyed (loading 'Loading turns...', empty 'No turns recorded yet.')
Tests: ReplayRoute.test.tsx (equivalence hero + honesty card, diverged
critical leaf, informational-only label, replace-mode select, j/k spine).
Full vitest 358 green; workbench Python 34 green; both snapshots deterministic.
Follow-up flagged (not in this PR to keep it focused): the artifact query
hooks (useArtifacts/useArtifactDetail/fetchArtifacts*) are now orphaned but
entangled with the still-live artifact EvidenceSubject kind — a separate
cleanup once an Artifacts route or that subject's fate is decided.
Brief: docs/handoff/wave-R3-briefs-2026-06-13.md (all four R3 pieces).
Execution-ready brief for the next comprehension increment (user-chosen,
doctrine-aligned): read arithmetic word-problem prose into the binding_graph
quantity substrate -> project to the independent relational_metric oracle ->
wrong=0. Reuses the existing 15-case relational_metric gold lane (no gold
authoring).
Captures the full scope from this session: the oracle grammar (fact/more_than/
fewer_than/sum_of), the new number-parsing reader capability, binding_graph
construction (SymbolBinding/BoundFact/BoundEquation with REAL admissibility — a
proof obligation, not a stamp), the direct-construction recommendation (keep the
comprehension organ disjoint from the GSM8K MathProblemGraph / serving path), the
projector, wiring, the generative round-trip anti-overfit test, and the
validation gates.
Briefed rather than rushed: this is binding_graph's first comprehension consumer,
a load-bearing integration whose correctness hinges on real equation
admissibility — it deserves fresh context, per "no shortcuts on architectural
gaps".
Wires the R4 goal-residual production to serving via
resolve_promotable_goal_residual (math_candidate_graph.py, mirroring
product_bridge). cv-0005 / train_sample 0037 now solves on serving as
goal - Σprogress = 10 - 3 - 4 = 3. First Phase-5b composition lift on serving.
wrong=0 preserved on every runnable surface:
- train_sample 6/44/0 -> 7/43/0 (0037 added; 6 prior correct intact; wrong=0).
- Fires on 2/455 visible GSM8K cases, both correct, ZERO wrong.
- Gain-goal divergence firewall proves it reads the GOAL, not a possession.
- smoke 73, math+invariants 53, derivation/pool/practice 341, corpus, all green.
Lockstep updates (the ratified metric move, 6/44/0 -> 7/43/0):
- report.json; 7 ADR test lanes that pinned 6/44/0; corpus cv-0005 baseline
fields + snapshot (4/18 -> 5/17) + contract; plan-doc cv-0018 control fix.
⚠ SEALED MEASUREMENT REQUIRED — NOT DONE. The sealed 1,319 (encrypted, not
CI-reproducible) is the real bar (ADR-0207 §6) and was NOT re-measured. The
operator/CI must decrypt+run it and confirm sealed wrong==0; if wrong>0, revert
the resolve_promotable_goal_residual block (isolated). See
docs/handoff/sealed-measurement-obligation-2026-06-04.md.
Three reviewed, non-serving analysis/handoff docs for the COMPOSITION lever.
Read-only; no serving code; train_sample 6/44/0 untouched.
- analysis/wiring-promotion-gate-brief: product_bridge is the only serving
derivation tendril (two-token target whitelist); resolve_pooled refuses all
ten R1/R4/R5/R6 positives and wrong-commits 0016 -> 510. Wiring is trivial;
the gate is the work.
- analysis/composition-wall-execution-plan: per-case stage taxonomy (A/B/C/D)
for all 15 corpus positives, reproduced live; R4-first scope (new
goal-residual production, verified by code-read of accumulate.py, NOT a
target tweak); promotion gate generalizes product_bridge, never disagreement
alone; gates inherit ADR-0207 §6 (corpus + sealed 1,319).
- handoff/stage-c-composition-investigation: dispatch task for the execution
lane to pin the per-case bail for the production-wrong shapes (the real
grouping/op-order wall), read-only, in-tree.
Execution-free brief for the read-only GitHub-connector lane: comprehension-
primitive inventory, question-layer gap survey, subject-readiness recommendation,
then gated capability-axis/ADR/corpus drafts. Proposal-only; serving stays frozen
(wrong=0, pinned lanes). Companion to the Claude execute/validate/commit lane.
Flip ADR-0173 Proposed -> Accepted. This is the W0 gate for the
workbench-UI ratification wave: it amends ADR-0160's read-only stance
narrowly to admit operator-driven invocation of the three existing,
replay-gated Tier 1.5 handlers (apply_lexical_claim, apply_frame_claim,
apply_composition_claim) as a local keyboard accelerator over ADR-0161
Surface C. No UI code; implementation remains gated to the W1..W4
acceptance gates in the ADR.
Also lands the reconciled W3 ratification-corridor brief. It supersedes
the stale W3 section of WORKBENCH-UI-WAVE-BRIEF-PACK.md, which assumed a
'frontend zero' state (W1/W2 already merged via #295/#299/#329/#327/
#328/#303) and prescribed a Zustand store this repo never adopted. The
reconciled brief names the load-bearing facts the old one glossed:
- /ratify is advisory-only today (routes, never applies); W3's core
backend task is the advisory->in-process flip.
- live proposals carry shape_category='uncategorized', so the safe
category/polarity must be operator-supplied and allowlist-gated, not
hard-coded -- the exact silent-wrong-category path case 0050 guards.
Verification this session: read-only workbench v1 confirmed working
(API serves real deterministic data, honest 404s, traversal rejected,
ratify advisory/no-mutation; 31 python + 104 UI tests green; pnpm build
green).
No runtime/algebra/eval paths touched. Docs only.
