docs(assessment): re-anchor the §5 provenance SHAs to the commits that landed
The branch was re-created with SSH signatures before landing, which changed my
commit SHAs. Four citations of the pre-registration commit — the verdict's
header and closing note, G-1, and the plan's Track A section — pointed at
dfc394d2, which is not in main's history. They now point at 299c92be, which is.

Same tree, same message, same ordering, signature added. The claim the verdict
rests on is unchanged and checkable at 299c92be: that commit contains the
thresholds and no results. Recorded as a note in the verdict document rather
than swapped silently, because a document citing a commit absent from its own
repository's history is precisely the failure mode its §1 catalogues — and this
one would have been self-inflicted.

Docs only.

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 05 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 (M0M6, 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 Twelve hindrances with fitness verdicts and better homes; five candidates examined and cleared
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.

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.
