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).
[Verification]: lifecycle+pins+cohesion+transitive 58 passed; in-worktree
smoke 176 passed (131s); fast lane 11750 passed, 108 skipped (574s, exit 0).
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).

Lands Shay's own correction (authored 2026-07-16 as commit 798c6d1c in
the primary checkout, never pushed): tea frequently hangs/times out
(Cloudflare 524) via HTTP/2 proxying and WAF handoffs — use the Forgejo
MCP tools instead. Also fixes two references the Local-First CI
Validation Protocol section had left stale: the smoke suite is 175
tests, not 108+ (parity-pinned by test_cli_smoke_suite_covers_ci_smoke_gate),
and PR creation goes through the Forgejo MCP tools, not `tea pr create`.
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.
Ports the runner-migration doctrine (authored by the Gemini session against
a stale checkout; grafted here onto current main so the #40-era Local-First
protocol section is preserved, not clobbered):
- CI jobs dispatch to a local Act runner on the primary developer's Mac
(label ubuntu-latest:host = native macOS host execution; the ubuntu name
is a fiction — no Linux-only steps).
- The GCP e2-micro server-side runner was REMOVED 2026-07-16; never
re-provision it (1GB RAM, OOM class). A waiting queue while the Mac is
asleep is intentional — pre-push local gates are the real discipline.
- Workflows remain canonical and install the locked universe (uv sync
--locked, committed uv.lock). GitHub mirror Actions are billing-locked
dead signals.
- CLAUDE.md gains a one-line pointer (policy stays in AGENTS.md).
[Verification]: smoke suite passed locally (175 passed); docs-only.
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.
lane-shas.yml has intermittently failed under Act-runner contention with
truncated/ambiguous logs (see docs/plans/adr-0241-0242-session-completion-
summary-2026-07-15.md #38 postmortem: run #167 failed at ~22m39s, but local
verify_lane_shas.py showed 9/9 pins matching — the failure was never
conclusively attributed to a timeout vs an incomplete log, because the
script buffers all per-lane output until every lane finishes).
Two changes, no lane logic touched:
1. Stream progress per lane (`-> lane_id ... done (Ns)`, flush=True) instead
of buffering until the end, so a hang shows exactly which lane and for
how long even if the job is killed before the final summary prints.
2. Make the per-lane subprocess timeout configurable via
CORE_LANE_VERIFY_TIMEOUT_S (default unchanged at 900s — same knob shape
as CORE_SHOWCASE_HARD_BUDGET), and report a TimeoutExpired distinctly
from a genuine SHA mismatch so the remediation text stops suggesting
`--update` (re-pinning) for what is actually runner contention.
[Verification]: tests/test_lane_sha_verifier.py 6 passed; ruff clean;
scripts/verify_lane_shas.py run locally with the new streaming output
confirmed correct per-lane timing (e.g. demo_composition 154s) end to end.
Closes the two staged items recorded in the acceptance packet §7 (ruled
non-blocking at ratification, tracked work):
P1 — kappa_search_event(): JSONL-ready execution-telemetry envelope for
the Fibonacci κ search (kind=fibonacci_kappa_search; certificate payload
with content-addressed cert_id, or failure payload with baseline κ=1.0).
propose_kappa_line_search gains an optional sink (any emit(line) object,
e.g. chat.telemetry sinks) that writes one deterministic JSONL line.
Pure serialization — no state, no COHERENT standing (§6 sovereignty).
P2 — cross_band_discovery_gate(): persistence verdict over a surprise-
event history across the F5/F6/F7 Fibonacci bands (τ = {5,8,13}·τ0).
Eligible ⇔ history spans ≥ F5·τ0 (a single fresh spike has zero temporal
persistence) AND every band's decay-weighted accumulation ≥ γ. Typed
CrossBandVerdict; pure; PROPOSAL-side only. Lives in multi_scale_energy
(Tier-2, serve-quarantined) so the gate can never touch serving —
re-pinned by the module-level sys.modules probe in the new test file.

Root cause of the simultaneous lane-shas failures on PRs #46 and #47:
workflows installed with unlocked 'uv pip install -e .' against floor-only
specs (numpy>=1.26, ...) while the repo maintains uv.lock — so a PyPI
release landing between runs shifts the runner's resolved set, and the
byte-exact lane SHA pins move with it. Timeline: main lane run green at
23:40Z, both PR runs (diffs no lane executes) red after 00:02Z; the
identical trees verify 9/9 locally against the locked venv, and
'uv lock --check' is clean.
All six workflows now 'uv sync --locked' (--extra dev where [dev] was
installed) — CI tests the locked universe, so lane pins can only move when
code moves. Locked-sync also fails loudly on a stale lock instead of
silently resolving fresh.
Self-validating: this PR's own lane-shas run uses this branch's workflow.
[Verification]: smoke suite passed locally (175 passed); lane repro on the
failing PRs' tree: 9/9 pinned SHAs; uv lock --check clean.
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).
The guard pinned 'ADRs stay Proposed — not self-Accepted', which was
correct until its own precondition was fulfilled: Joshua Shay ruled
'Ratify' on the D10 packet (2026-07-15, ruling record packet §8) and #43
flipped both ADRs to Accepted — turning this pin red on main (first
flagged by the W3 lane as a 'brand-new governance-doc red').
The guard's spirit survives, strengthened: the test now asserts Accepted
WITH inline ratification provenance on both ADR status lines AND the §8
ruling record in the packet — so a silent status flip in EITHER direction
(an Accept without provenance, or a quiet demotion) still fails.
[Verification]: tests/test_adr_0241_governance_p12.py 6 passed; smoke
gate queued behind the running slow-lane sweep, push held until green.
tests/test_teaching_queue.py::test_read_only_invariant hardcoded
`project_root / "engine_state"` (the real shared dir) in its read-only-
invariant snapshot, instead of reading `engine_state._DEFAULT_DIR` (the
root-conftest autouse fixture's per-test isolated dir). Same bug pattern
as test_workbench_replay.py::test_replay_leaves_no_trace, and this one
was caught red-handed: a full `-n auto` fast-lane run failed with
"Directory .../engine_state was mutated!" and passed cleanly in serial
isolation, the exact order-dependent-flake signature this wave hunts.
The other three snapshotted dirs (teaching/proposals, packs,
contemplation/runs) have no equivalent per-test isolation idiom in the
repo yet and are left as-is — this test's own hitl-queue commands don't
write to them, so they were not implicated in the observed failure.
Hunt for the -n auto fast-lane polluters flagged in docs/testing-lanes.md
("Follow-up: xdist by default"). Three root causes, all shared-repo-path
writers with no per-test isolation, following the #782 monkeypatch idiom:
1. tests/test_workbench_replay.py::test_replay_leaves_no_trace hardcoded
`Path("engine_state")` (the real shared dir) instead of reading
`engine_state._DEFAULT_DIR`, which the root-conftest autouse fixture
already redirects per-test. It was a victim, not a polluter: any
concurrent worker writing the real dir made this snapshot-diff flake.
Fixed by reading `engine_state._DEFAULT_DIR` dynamically.
2. evals/gsm8k_math/train_sample/v1/runner.py hardcoded its report.json
output to the committed repo path with no override. Two test files
(test_rat1_end_to_end_admission.py, test_wave_a_multiplicative_
aggregation_injector.py; 4 tests total) spawn it as a subprocess and
read the same file back — a write race under -n auto, and a confirmed
downstream victim (test_gsm8k_sealed_attempt_scout.py::
test_report_json_mtime_unchanged_by_scout_import asserts the file's
mtime is stable). Added an optional CORE_GSM8K_TRAIN_SAMPLE_REPORT_PATH
env override (default unchanged) and pointed the 4 call sites at
tmp_path.
3. core/cli.py's `_DEMO_RESULTS_DIR` (evals/forward_semantic_control/
results/) is written, glob-scanned, and index.json-rebuilt by ~11 tests
across tests/test_cli_demo.py's TestDemoSubcommand and TestDemoPreambles
classes. Added an autouse fixture monkeypatching `cli._DEMO_RESULTS_DIR`
to a per-test tmp dir. This also unmasked a latent order-dependent
coupling: test_demo_list_results_indexes_reports and
test_demo_list_results_json_well_formed never wrote their own report,
relying on a sibling test's leftover file in the shared dir (silently
correct only because pytest ran the file in declaration order). Made
both self-contained.
No assertion weakening, no test deletion, no global autouse fixture masking
real bugs. All three fixes preserve the real (non-test) default behavior
byte-for-byte when unpatched/env-unset.
Verification: 8x targeted -n 8 loop over the 7 affected files (before and
after) did not force-reproduce the underlying race live (narrow timing
window, small-scale run) — confirmation is source-level (hardcoded shared
paths bypassing the established isolation idiom) plus the prior documented
flake for test_replay_leaves_no_trace in docs/testing-lanes.md. Full
fast-lane -n auto run recorded in the PR description.
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
- Align session_anchor_pull fixture to grade-1 field parity
- Ledger: docs/analysis/full-suite-reds-ledger-2026-07.md
[Verification]: targeted 10 passed; lane SHAs 9/9; smoke 175 passed
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.
The CLI 'smoke' suite omitted tests/test_audio_*.py (6 files) that the
.github/workflows/smoke.yml PR gate runs — so the new AGENTS.md local-first
pre-push gate ('core test --suite smoke') was silently narrower than CI
(108 vs 175 tests). Adds the audio lane explicitly and pins parity:
test_cli_smoke_suite_covers_ci_smoke_gate parses the workflow's tests/
paths (globs expanded) and fails if the CLI tuple ever lags the CI gate.
[Verification]: CI-identical smoke file set passed locally (134s, 175
passed); tests/test_cli_test_suites.py 10 passed incl. the new pin.
