Shay ad37d03b19 docs(adr-0244,adr-0245): D4 Phase 0 — governance reconciliation
Reconciles ADR-0244 against its own D0 blockers and commits ADR-0245 as
a real companion ADR (previously a dangling reference in ADR-0244 §4).

ADR-0244 governance annotation expanded (11 items, all body text below
preserved verbatim for R&D provenance; annotation governs on conflict):
  1. Q_top proof (already landed) now explicitly drops the §2.2 egress
     ΔQ_top conjunct (it is a hollow, always-true discriminator).
  2. §4-vs-§2 contradiction RESOLVED — new §4a is the governing spec;
     §4 kept verbatim as the (contradictory) original R&D sketch.
  3. §2.1 axis construction was underspecified (packs ship dim-3
     directions, not 32-vectors) — resolved via a grade-1 lift at the
     e1/e2/e3 slots (algebra.cl41.basis_vector), not embed_point.
  4. §2.2 amended: signed overlap (never abs()'d — anti-alignment must
     stay distinguishable from orthogonality); leakage norm is the
     positive-definite Euclidean coefficient norm, not the indefinite
     Cl(4,1) inner product (which (+,+,+,+,-) permits to vanish for
     nonzero leakage).
  5. Inalienability reframed as 5 testable layers (algebraic / runtime
     / pipeline / operational / semantic) — only the first is a math
     guarantee.
  6. Paraphrase-invariance reworded as an empirical, measured property;
     Q_top conservation scoped to pure versors only (relax_to_ground
     can converge to non-versor superpositions — the ADR-0243 SD-A
     subtlety).
  7. boundary_ids activation (currently stored, never evaluated).
  8. Identity manifold is FROZEN — biography holonomy accumulates
     separately and never mutates the identity subspace.
  9-11. Filename correction (multimodal_lifecycle.py doesn't exist;
     real file is cognitive_lifecycle.py), ADR-0245 cross-link,
     theological citation labeled ESV + analogy disclaimer.

New §4a supersedes §4 with a typed, Gram/leakage-correct specification
(ManifoldConditioningError, IdentityGateRefusal, bounded/abstaining
C_id, isfinite + shape guards — no bare assert) for Phase 1/2 to build
against under TDD.

ADR-0245 committed Proposed, verbatim from the R&D export, with a
governance annotation mapping its 4 decisions + Sec 3 acceptance gate
against what the cohesion-directive arc already landed (Rust f32 GP,
_cached_eigh, digest hot-path all done; f64->f32 cast + Sec 3's
speedup/collision proofs open — tracked as D4 Phase 4/5).

Audit doc (adr-0244-cohesion-directive-audit-2026-07-17.md) wrinkles
1-2 and Q5 sequencing updated from 'pending'/'must reconcile' to
resolved, cross-referencing this landing.

[Verification]: in-worktree smoke gate 176 passed; provenance/ADR
governance pins (test_adr_0241_governance_p12.py,
test_adr_0242_topological_quarantine.py, test_third_door_cohesion.py)
30 passed — confirms ADR-0244 stays Proposed (no status flip) and no
existing ADR provenance guard was disturbed. Docs-only change, no
executable surface touched.
