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.
