Shay 372bdf987d docs(assessment): Wave 0 — the execution plan and the ruling packet (R-1…R-14)
Phase 6 of the holistic assessment: what follows from it, and what it needs
ruled before anything else can be sequenced.

`50-execution-plan.md` — five waves (scrub/rule → delete → simplify/enforce →
accelerate evidence loops → automate last) plus five frontier tracks, covering
every G-1…G-20 and H-1…H-12 entry, with four hard dependency gates and nine
risks stated before they are incurred.

`50-rulings.md` — R-1…R-14. One decision per section: the evidence verified at
ed06dd64, the options enumerated, a recommendation with its reasoning, and the
exact diff that follows from each choice, so ruling costs one word. Nothing in
it recommends reversing a ratified decision; R-12 amends two ADRs' records
without touching either decision.

§0 of the plan carries SEVEN corrections to the assessment, all found by
reading code, workflows and ADR supersession banners — none by re-reading
documents. Four change planned work:

- N-3 (new) the local smoke suite (23 files) and smoke.yml (13) have diverged
  by 10 files. Severity is LOWER than this plan's first draft stated: AGENTS.md
  makes the in-worktree run the merge gate and CI secondary observability, and
  the local gate is the superset — so nothing is unguarded. What is real is one
  in-code comment claiming an equality that does not hold, and the push that
  skipped the local gate, for which CI is the only automatic check.
- N-4 the L10 soak HAS been run — 5000 beats, reboot at 2500, all four gates
  pass (contract.md, landed aed273b1). G-5's "never produced an artifact" is
  wrong. The debt is the ceremony: no committed report, no pinned
  deterministic_digest (the contract's own unmet closing instruction), no
  cadence. Prose with no pinned digest is testimony, not evidence.
- N-5 G-10's blocker does not exist. ADR-0264 §4.1 carries a self-supersession
  banner: R5 removed the 16-premise cap on 2026-07-26, and four bands would
  earn SERVE the moment a ledger is sealed. PR-13 is WITHDRAWN and the whole
  throughput frontier reduces to one ruling (R-8).
- N-7 the flag count is 28 of 32 RuntimeConfig booleans, not seventeen.

Plus N-1 (the orphan scan artifact: TEST_SUITES["full"] is a directory),
N-2 (the L10 pins run twice a day, post-merge and nightly), and N-6 (H-8 has a
fourth instance inside the code — two flag docstrings assert a production
profile the production profile does not have, which moves R-3 decisively
toward "incomplete flag set").

Docs only. No runtime behavior, no flag, no test changed.
