feat(provenance,teaching): close the lateral gaps the assessment actually found
Squashes the arc's work into one commit; the workflow-file edit it originally
carried is excluded (see the end of this message).

## Lane 1 — Workbench recorded a proved answer as ungrounded

With deduction_serving_enabled ratified ON (ADR-0256), workbench/api.py's live
chat route builds a bare ChatRuntime(), so the deduction composer decides
Workbench turns and stamps grounding_source="deduction" — but
_coerce_grounding_source carried a hand-copied whitelist of the six pre-arc
labels and silently rewrote anything else to "none". The runtime comment
reasoned this was inert because "REPL turns do not flow through Workbench's
CognitivePipelineRecord path". True, and irrelevant: the traffic flows the
other way. Stale since 2026-07-24.

Scope is one field. workbench/api.py:818 prefers TurnEvent.epistemic_state,
which read epistemic_state_needed — honest. So the UNregistered path degraded
honestly while the hand-copied whitelist asserted a falsehood; a second copy of
a closed enum was worse than no copy. Hence registration AND derivation:
GROUNDING_SOURCES exposes the Literal's members, and the coercion reads it.
workbench-ui badges/tokens/snapshot follow; enumCoverage.test.ts forces atomicity.

## Lane 2 — the ratification ceremony

The discovery loop was instrumented but not closed. teaching/ratification.py
turns a reviewed decision into a chain record, a corpus commit, and a receipt.

Its design turns on one observation: _ratified_rows DROPS unadmissible rows
silently — correct when serving, a trap when ratifying, because the file grows,
the commit lands, and the band count does not move. So the ceremony refuses to
call an append a ratification until it has re-read the curriculum through the
real loader and seen the chain arrive; a non-admitted append is rolled back.
Validation is a pre-flight courtesy, admission is the proof.

Arena queue entry and ledger reseal are deliberately NOT performed (bridge rule
1); the receipt names them. Front door: `core proposal-queue ratify`, a sibling
of `review` rather than a flag on it.

## Lane 3 — structural closures

- ADR-0263 gains rule 5: absence policy is DECLARED in CAPABILITY_LEDGERS, not
  passed at the call site. An AST-matched test fails if a serving path passes
  missing_ok again.
- Deductive suite added WHOLE to the pre-push gate: 285 tests in 29s against
  smoke's 216 in 62s, so no coverage trade was needed.
- Smoke/CI parity assertion made bidirectional. It was one-directional, and had
  drifted.
- test_prior_surface_deduction_binding.py pins correction binding on the
  deduction path. The review's diagnosis did NOT reproduce — hash_surface moves
  in lockstep — so it pins what is there. Mutation-checked.
- Domain-keyed ADR index over 312 flat-numbered files, explicitly partial.
- Arc-close brief template, plus this arc's own brief filled in against it.

## Lanes 4 and 5 — two premises falsified by measurement, one of them mine

Math 4.2: baseline reproduced (correct=5 wrong=0 refused=495); all four named
cases traced to one seam with each gap isolated by one-variable probes. Then the
number that changes the recommendation: the gap blocking case 0000 affects 1
case in 500, the 'than' gap blocking 0001 affects 2. ADR-0251's prohibition on
per-case growth now rests on a count. No reader change made.

CGA: versor_condition is 0.22% of a turn, not the "~10x proof latency" I claimed
— that multiplied an isolated microbenchmark by a call count and compared it to
a single verdict's latency. The real cost is geometric_product at 33,986
calls/turn (~73%) via cga_inner in search paths. The obvious closed form is NOT
bit-exact (954/4000 in f32); backend.vault_recall's serial fold IS (3000/3000,
worst-rel 0) and is the correct target. cargo test could not run —
static.crates.io is denied by the sandbox network policy — so the Rust parity
question stays open and the typestate lane is carried forward, not shipped
uncompiled.

## Not landed: three lines owed to .github/workflows/smoke.yml

The CI smoke gate is narrower than the local one —
test_pack_draft_serve_boundary.py (ADR-0253 INV-33) has been local-only, unseen
because the parity pin checked one direction. The edit was authored and rejected
at push for lacking the `workflow` OAuth scope, so it is recorded as a named,
dated PENDING_IN_CI exception rather than dropped: the assertion still fires on
any new divergence, and a second guard fires once the three land.

[Verification]: pre-push gates all green — smoke 236 passed, warmed_session 10
passed, deductive 285 passed. Ratification 14, ADR index 5, CLI suites 10.
Grounding/epistemic sweep 741 passed 1 skipped. workbench-ui 598 passed across
73 files, tsc -b clean. capability index 11 passed, digest unchanged. Math
holdout correct=5 wrong=0 refused=495. Committed chain corpora byte-unchanged
after the tests that write to them.
Environment caveat: the repo pins requires-python ==3.12.13, which uv cannot
fetch for linux-x86_64, so `uv sync --locked` fails. All Python runs used a
scratch venv on 3.12.11 with declared deps — not the locked universe, not the
full ~12k suite. The pin was left untouched. Re-run on a 3.12.13 host before
treating this as merge evidence.

CORE Workbench UI

React/Vite/TypeScript frontend for CORE Workbench — a local operator/auditor UI over the deterministic engine. 16 registry-driven routes (src/app/routes.ts): chat; trace (per-turn pipeline / field-invariant / leeway / evidence-bundle tabs); contemplation; guided determinism tour; replay (hash-to-hash); demos; proposals + HITL ratification; evals (wrong=0 ledger); calibration (gold-tether arena); runs; lived-life; vault; packs; CORE-Logos; audit; and settings. Read-only by default, with allowlisted execution only.

Local development

# Terminal 1 — start the API (W-026)
uv run core workbench api

# Terminal 2 — start the frontend
cd workbench-ui
pnpm install
pnpm dev         # http://127.0.0.1:5173

Custom API URL

VITE_WORKBENCH_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9000 pnpm dev

Design system baseline

pnpm preview   # Serves dist/ on http://127.0.0.1:4173
# Navigate to /preview for the Branch 1 design-system baseline

Tests

pnpm test                # Vitest unit + component tests
pnpm test:enum-coverage  # Badge enum coverage (requires uv)
pnpm build               # TypeScript + Vite production build

Schema drift detection

The TypeScript types in src/types/api.ts mirror workbench/schemas.py. To check for drift after Python schema changes:

# From repo root
uv run python scripts/dump-api-schemas.py
# Then run: pnpm test (api.test.ts catches field-level drift)

Architecture

  • src/app/ — Shell, TopBar, LeftNav, StatusFooter, ApiErrorBoundary, and the route surfaces in src/app/<route>/. src/app/routes.ts is the single route registry (feeds App, LeftNav, command palette, shortcuts, and conformance).
  • src/api/ — apiFetch client, TanStack Query hooks.
  • src/types/ — TypeScript mirrors of Python schemas (src/types/api.ts).
  • src/routes/ — the Chat route entry.
  • src/design/ — design-system substrate (tokens, primitives, doctrine gates).

Catch-up doctrine

The Workbench is an evidence surface, not a mutation console. New UI work must only render backend-provided read models, committed artifacts, or existing allowlisted execution paths. Proposal-first construction evidence, residual-gated practice traces, generalization audit reports, and CORE-Logos pack evidence must remain diagnostic/read-only unless a later ADR admits a narrow handler path.
