Shay b970054226 docs(adr): ratify ADR-0264 — Accepted, and §4.1 self-superseded by its own R5 
Ratified by Joshua Shay 2026-07-26. All nine rules are implemented and merged to
main @ 803703fc: R5-R7 (#120), R9 (#117), R1-R4/R8 (#125). The status line names
the enforcement pins so the record points at what holds it up.

Also discharges a staleness the ratification would otherwise have blessed. §4.1's
heading — "No curriculum band can earn a SERVE license under the current
architecture" — is NO LONGER TRUE of the running system, and it was falsified by
this ADR's own R5: the finding rested on "the premise cap holds a family to <=16
chains", and query-scoped compilation removed that cap. Post-R5, four bands would
earn SERVE the moment a ledger is sealed. Leaving that heading unqualified in an
Accepted ADR is precisely the ADR-0256 shape — a governance record asserting
something false about live code.

The §4.1 CONCLUSION survives, for a different and stronger reason, and the note
says so: reliability is commitment precision and a correct UNKNOWN is a
commitment, so a band clears theta_SERVE on non-commitments alone
(conservative_floor(660,660)=0.990046). Licensable evidence is 99.0-99.98%
non-entailed; max entailed volume in any band is 9. So §4.1's "≥97.6%
non-entailed" arithmetic was directionally right and its CAUSE was wrong — it is
not the premise cap that makes a curriculum license dishonest, it is the absence
of a mix rule. The binding constraint is now the outcome-mix ruling (§5, still
open), and nothing is licensed while it is unmade: the ledger is absent and
`core proposal-queue reseal` refuses to grant a license without
--allow-new-licenses.

[Verification]: in-worktree on canonical CPython 3.12.13 with `uv sync --locked`:
smoke 621 (unchanged), and 335 passed across test_adr_status_governance.py /
test_adr_index.py / test_volume_honesty.py. Status parses as "Accepted …" under
the governance regex and the banned `ratify-on-merge` predicate is absent. No
flag moved; no code changed.

Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)

Canonical directory for all ADRs.

All current ADR links should target this directory as docs/adr/.... docs/decisions/... was the historical path and must not be used for new references.

Runtime execution contracts live in docs/specs/runtime_contracts.md; ADRs may cite that spec when a decision adds or changes a runtime invariant.

Master Blueprint ADR mapping (2026-07-20)

The Master Architectural Specification lists ADR-0240–0253 with titles that collide by number with Accepted repository ADRs (especially 0246–0252).
