- 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.
* feat(eval): add yardstick lane for CLOSE derived climb (is-a + relational + flag + wrong=0)
* fix(eval): correct proposal flag measurement in yardstick (direct emit for isolation; runner now reports True)
* fix(eval): measure CLOSE climb from live queries
* fix(eval): require strict CLOSE climb growth
