Shay 12a9ca0b2a docs(cohesion): D0 governance — land ADR-0244, directive, and mandate audit
First step of the cohesion-directive arc (docs only; no code).

- docs/adr/ADR-0244-…md: committed Proposed, verbatim from the R&D export
  (matching the ADR-0241/2/3 landing convention), plus a clearly-marked
  governance annotation holding two items open for the D4 implementation plan:
  (1) §2.3 Q_top is likely vacuous — central I5 in odd Cl(4,1) collapses the
  charge on versor states (the #19 pseudoscalar failure mode); it must not be an
  egress gate without an empirical discriminating counterexample; (2) §4's
  conformed implementation contradicts §2.1-2.2 (per-axis resonance vs.
  Gram-projection/leakage-norm/ManifoldConditioningError), references a dangling
  ADR-0245, and uses a bare assert for the byte-order guard.
- docs/analysis/engineering_cohesion_refactoring_directive.md: the technical
  directive moved to its own canonical path, verbatim (content byte-identical).
- docs/analysis/adr-0244-cohesion-directive-audit-2026-07-17.md: the code-level
  audit of all 7 mandates vs. main@24078b11 — per-mandate verdicts, the six
  spec-level wrinkles, the amended mandate→work-item mapping, the missing sixth
  acceptance criterion (Mechanical-Sympathy gain), and the five decisions (Q1-Q5).

Notable finding: the default=str + 24-char-digest drift the directive flags was
replicated into Lane C (biography_wiring.py) AFTER the directive was written —
raising the priority of the D1 semantic-rigor batch.

[Verification]: docs-only; ADR governance provenance-guard green (unchanged).

CORE Documentation Index

This is the central index for all documentation in the CORE project.

Canonical Root Documents

Directories

Architecture & Design

  • adr/ - Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). The canonical history of all ratified engineering choices.
  • architecture/ - High-level architectural documents (e.g., pipelines, schemas).
  • analysis/ - Deep dives and master plans for structural changes.
  • specs/ - Detailed technical specifications and invariants.

Planning & Progress

  • plans/ - Capability roadmaps and implementation plans.
  • briefs/ - Project briefs and scoping documents for upcoming work.
  • issues/ - Detailed issue analyses and technical reproductions (not standard trackers).
  • audit/ - Audit reports and claims ledgers.

Operations & Usage

  • examples/ - Usage examples and reference integrations.
  • workbench/ - Documentation for the CORE workbench UI and related tooling.
  • agents/ - Agent-specific operational guides.

    Note regarding agents/grok/: Operational guide for using Grok 4.3 + Grok Build with CORE. This is not architecture documentation.

Learning & Evaluation

  • curriculum/ - Documentation on the teaching/learning order and knowledge progression.
  • evals/ - Evaluation methodology and performance criteria documentation.
  • benchmarks/ - Benchmark evidence and performance tracking logs.

Historical & Experimental

  • sessions/ - Chronological session logs documenting the "decision trail" and intellectual history of major choices.
  • handoffs/ - Legacy brief, audit, and investigation notes (historical; the formal HANDOFF mechanism is retired — see AGENTS.md for the current lightweight session-break-summary-<DATETIME>.md convention).
  • research/ - Raw research notes and preliminary findings.
  • lab/ - Experimental content (Warning: Not ratified; must not be referenced as authoritative in production PRs).

External

  • outreach/ - External communications and messaging.
  • zig/ - Scoped documentation for the Zig language components.
