§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 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 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`](40-assessment.md) — the synthesis (the verdict, the five frontiers, the recommended attack order). Then [`50-execution-plan.md`](50-execution-plan.md) for what follows from it, and [`50-rulings.md`](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`](00-scope-and-method.md) | — | Charter, method, rules of engagement, phase/executor table |
|
||
| [`01-phase0-ground-truth.md`](01-phase0-ground-truth.md) | 0 | Corpus triage, the five unreconciled articulations, system-map recovery |
|
||
| [`02-layer-taxonomy.md`](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`](03-card-schema.md) | 1 | The card metadata schema: liveness ⊥ fitness, design ⊥ build, sabotage-tested evidence, `verified_at` stamps |
|
||
| [`10-layer-cards/`](10-layer-cards/) | 2 | Nine layer cards (M0–M6, MG, MV), every liveness label re-verified against code |
|
||
| [`04-phase2-findings.md`](04-phase2-findings.md) | 2 | Stage-coverage audit; corrections to Phase 0; findings F-1…F-5 |
|
||
| [`20-component-cards/`](20-component-cards/) | 3 | Eight component cards: the four zero-subsystem zones + always-on, derivation organs, surface selection, attention |
|
||
| [`05-phase3-findings.md`](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`](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`](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`](40-assessment.md) | 5 | The synthesis |
|
||
| [`50-execution-plan.md`](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`](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`](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.
