Shay 57fa078aaa docs: mark ADR-0094/0095/0098/0099 accepted 
Sibling reconciliation PR to #104. The four ADRs explicitly called out as
the 'current implementation frontier' in PR #104 are already implemented
to the same evidence bar as the eight ADRs that PR accepted:

- ADR-0094: teaching/source.py + proposal schema widening + migration
  script; tests/test_proposal_source.py green
- ADR-0095: teaching/from_miner.py + miner_loop_closure lane;
  SHA-pinned in scripts/verify_lane_shas.py; tests/test_miner_proposals.py
  green
- ADR-0098: core/demos/contract.py + adapter surface + demo_composition
  lane; SHA-pinned; tests/test_demo_composition.py green
- ADR-0099: core/demos/showcase.py + public_demo lane;
  SHA-pinned; tests/test_public_showcase.py green

Three of four lanes are SHA-pinned in CI (a stricter bar than several
already-accepted ADRs). Local pytest run: 85/85 passed across the four
tests/test_*.py files in 17s.

Also refreshes docs/decisions/README.md:
- flips the four table rows to Accepted (2026-05-22)
- rewrites the 'Current frontier' section now that no ADR-0091..0102
  entry is unimplemented
- enumerates candidate next directions (curriculum proposals,
  language-specific holdout splits, expert-demo ratification)

Docs-only change; no runtime code touched.

# Architecture Decision Records
This directory contains the Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for the CORE project.
ADRs record significant architectural decisions: what was decided, why, what alternatives were considered, and what consequences follow. They are permanent records — superseded ADRs are archived, not deleted.

## Current frontier
The ADR-0091..0102 slate is fully accepted and mechanically evidenced:
- Domain Pack Contract v1 — ADR-0091
- Reviewer Registry v1 — ADR-0092
- Domain Contract v1 enforcement — ADR-0093
- Proposal Source Provenance — ADR-0094
- Miner-Sourced Teaching Proposals — ADR-0095
- Fabrication-control negative eval lane — ADR-0096
- `mathematics_logic` reasoning-capable ratification — ADR-0097
- Demo Composition Contract — ADR-0098
- Public Showcase Demo — ADR-0099
- `physics` reasoning-capable ratification — ADR-0100
- `systems_software` reasoning-capable ratification — ADR-0101
- `hebrew_greek_textual_reasoning` multi-pack reasoning-capable ratification — ADR-0102
Six lanes are SHA-pinned in `scripts/verify_lane_shas.py` and gated by the `lane-shas` GitHub Actions workflow: `reviewer_registry`, `domain_contract_validation`, `miner_loop_closure`, `fabrication_control_summary`, `demo_composition`, `public_demo`.
The next implementation frontier is open. Candidate directions include:
- **Curriculum-sourced proposals.** ADR-0094 reserved `ProposalSource(kind="curriculum")`; a curriculum ADR can introduce it without secondary schema churn.
- **Holdout splits for language-specific lanes.** ADR-0102 currently relies on universal lanes (`inference_closure`, `fabrication_control`); language-specific fluency lanes (`evals/hebrew_fluency/`, `evals/koine_greek_fluency/`) need sealed holdout splits before they can attach to `reasoning-capable` claims.
- **Expert-demo ratification.** All ADR-0097/0100/0101/0102 ledger rows currently sit at `reasoning-capable` with `expert_demo=false`. The next status tier requires evidence beyond the universal lanes.
No ADR currently sits in a "Proposed but unimplemented" state.

## Accepted reasoning-capable domains
| Domain | Ratification ADR | Pack(s) | Evidence summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| `mathematics_logic` | ADR-0097 | `en_mathematics_logic_v1` | All nine ADR-0091 predicates pass; ledger row is `reasoning-capable`; `expert_demo` remains false; lanes include positive coverage, inference closure, and fabrication control. |
| `physics` | ADR-0100 | `en_physics_v1` | All nine predicates pass; causal/modal operator coverage meets threshold; ledger row is `reasoning-capable`; `expert_demo` remains false. |
| `systems_software` | ADR-0101 | `en_systems_software_v1` | All nine predicates pass; transitive/causal operator coverage meets threshold; ledger row is `reasoning-capable`; `symbolic_logic` is the v1 closest-fit eval lane. |
| `hebrew_greek_textual_reasoning` | ADR-0102 | `grc_logos_micro_v1`, `grc_logos_cognition_v1`, `he_logos_micro_v1`, `he_core_cognition_v1` | First multi-pack ratification; all four packs carry uniform contract fields; causal/contradiction operator coverage meets threshold; universal lanes are declared until language-specific holdouts land. |

## ADR chain notes
### Forward Semantic Control closure — ADR-0022 through ADR-0026
ADR-0022 through ADR-0026 form a single coherent chain that closes forward semantic control as a non-stochastic, replay-deterministic, trace-evidenced mechanism.
1. **ADR-0022** establishes `AdmissibilityRegion` and the contract that a region restricts the admissible token set at generation time.
2. **ADR-0023** records proof evidence that the admissibility region is honored at the region-intersection level.
3. **ADR-0024** adds destination-side per-step admissibility and honest `InnerLoopExhaustion` when all admissible candidates are rejected.
4. **ADR-0025** adds rotor/frame admissibility when a region carries a `frame_versor`.
5. **ADR-0026** replaces static threshold tuning with ranked admissibility and a scale-invariant margin gate.
Runtime contracts for the chain are pinned in [`docs/runtime_contracts.md`](../runtime_contracts.md).
### Pack-layer chain — ADR-0027 through ADR-0045
ADR-0027 through ADR-0045 establish the identity / safety / ethics pack architecture with deterministic remediation, audit completeness, telemetry, operator readout, audit-tour demo, pack measurements, a worked-example medical ethics pack, and long-context comparison measurements.
### Evidence-governed domain chain — ADR-0091 through ADR-0102
ADR-0091 through ADR-0102 establish the current domain-ratification substrate:
```text
contract definition
↓
reviewer trust root
↓
validator / ledger enforcement
↓
negative-control fabrication lane
↓
reasoning-capable domain ratification
```
No domain claim should be treated as mature merely because a pack exists. Capability status belongs to the generated ledger and its evidence predicates.
