§9.8 of the plan — "every card carries a verified_at no older than the last arc
that touched its layer" — is a maintenance contract this directory holds itself
to, and today's arc moved MV, M3, M4, M2, M6 and three component cards. A card
whose stamp falls behind a load-bearing arc is testimony, not evidence, which is
the failure mode the directory exists to replace.
Each card gains a Re-verified stamp at 39331dbc plus an arc note saying what
actually changed under it, not merely that something did:
MV PR-4 + PR-6 landed; G-7/G-9 closed. The layer's finding is sharper than
the card stated: the recurring defect is not ABSENT pins but PINS THAT
EXIST AND DO NOT RUN — four found this arc, each indistinguishable from
coverage in any document.
M3 §5 run to NO-GO, settling the successor-path question. New measurement
G-21: the reader decides 5 of 500 holdout_dev/v1 cases. H-8e corrected.
M4 H-13 fixed — the served-marker honesty contract held where it leaked.
M2 PR-7's table: two boundaries already met, THREE CLOSED as category
differences, one real delta (no audit record per rejection).
M6 PR-9 — the accrual backstop counts and names what it absorbs.
realize-phase / always-on-process / surface-selection — the component-level
versions of the same three.
Plan §Status replaced with the actual board: what landed, what each remaining
item is blocked on, and the six findings this arc added that the assessment did
not have (N-8, N-9, G-21, H-13, H-14, H-8e). README carries the same summary at
the directory's entry point.
The status block says plainly what has NOT moved: comprehension breadth and
proof-of-life. The reader is still 19 constructions wide and decides 1.0% of the
held-out corpus; the 5000-beat soak is still prose with no pinned digest.
Everything landed this arc is enforcement and evidence machinery. Capability
moves in PR-11/PR-12/PR-14/Track B, all four ruling-gated.

docs/assessment/ — The Holistic Macro→Micro Assessment (2026-07-27)
A read-only, evidence-bearing assessment of CORE's cognitive-cycle design versus implementation fulfillment, conducted under docs/conceptualizing_engineering_mastery.md at forgejo/main @ 8927c563. Phases 0–5 change no runtime behavior, fix no defect, and decide nothing — they produce evidence and judgments for ruling. Phase 6 adds the execution plan built on them and the ruling packet they require.
Start here: 40-assessment.md — the synthesis (the verdict, the five frontiers, the recommended attack order). Then 50-execution-plan.md for what follows from it, and 50-rulings.md for what is waiting on a decision. The registers rank the work; the cards are the evidence base.
| File / dir | Phase | What it is |
|---|---|---|
00-scope-and-method.md |
— | Charter, method, rules of engagement, phase/executor table |
01-phase0-ground-truth.md |
0 | Corpus triage, the five unreconciled articulations, system-map recovery |
02-layer-taxonomy.md |
1 | The two-axis taxonomy: 7 macro layers + 2 cross-cuts over 33 zones; the Candidate Register (CR-1…4); completeness criteria |
03-card-schema.md |
1 | The card metadata schema: liveness ⊥ fitness, design ⊥ build, sabotage-tested evidence, verified_at stamps |
10-layer-cards/ |
2 | Nine layer cards (M0–M6, MG, MV), every liveness label re-verified against code |
04-phase2-findings.md |
2 | Stage-coverage audit; corrections to Phase 0; findings F-1…F-5 |
20-component-cards/ |
3 | Eight component cards: the four zero-subsystem zones + always-on, derivation organs, surface selection, attention |
05-phase3-findings.md |
3 | Corrections C-1…C-5; findings F-6…F-10; the consolidated Phase-4 seed list |
30-gap-register.md |
4 | The live gap register — 20 entries, 4 tiers, each with evidence + deciding authority (proposes superseding docs/gaps.md); four entries amended in Phase 6 |
31-hindrance-audit.md |
4 | Fourteen hindrances with fitness verdicts and better homes; eleven candidates examined and cleared (five in Phase 4, six in the 2026-07-28 external-assessment triage) |
40-assessment.md |
5 | The synthesis |
50-execution-plan.md |
6 | The execution plan — five waves + five frontier tracks over every G/H entry, with the dependency gates and the risks. §0 carries seven corrections to the assessment found while sizing it |
50-rulings.md |
6 | The ruling packet — R-1…R-14, each with evidence, options, a recommendation, and the exact diff that follows from each choice. Wave 0's deliverable |
Maintenance contract (from §8 of the synthesis): a card whose verified_at falls behind a load-bearing arc is testimony, not evidence. Update cards when their subsystems move, or this directory becomes the next dead instrument it was built to replace.
Execution status (2026-07-28, 39331dbc). Phases 0–6 produced the evidence; the arc that followed executed everything in it that needed no ruling. Landed: Track A's §5 verdict (NO-GO, pre-registered), PR-4, PR-6, PR-7, PR-9, PR-1, and two defect fixes (H-13, H-8e). Closed: G-7, G-9, H-7, H-11, H-13. Added: N-8, N-9, G-21, H-13, H-14. Everything remaining is gated on R-1…R-14 or on an ADR. See 50-execution-plan.md §Status for the full board.
Standing note: the PR #138 fabrication findings appear throughout as measured & pinned, fix held for ADR + ratification — recorded, never re-discovered, never fixed here, per explicit instruction.
