Wave 1 — delete — run before more Wave 2 enforcement, correcting the method inversion this arc had been committing: the plan sequences scrub -> DELETE -> enforce, and Wave 1 was ruling-blocked while Wave 2 was not, so enforcement landed first on structures deletion might have removed. PR-3 (R-7 ruled A) docs/gaps.md and docs/audit/substrate-liveness-ratchet.md carry historical banners that name H-9's own mechanism as the reason they exist: an instrument that looks authoritative converts "I should check" into "I already checked". The ratchet's seven OPEN items — W-003, W-005, W-007, W-008, W-009, W-017, W-018, every one L10-chained — migrated into G-5 WITH their dependency chains, because that reasoning is the ratchet's lasting contribution and its status column is not. One deliverable could not be executed as written and is recorded rather than claimed: L12 has NO in-repo generator to drop it from. The system map is local and gitignored (D5 — a regeneratable index carrying no authority), so the phantom existed only there and in one taxonomy row. That row now records the ruling instead of the flag. PR-3b — new, and it corrected its own author Added when PR-4's two ratchets made the question unavoidable: what exactly are they policing? Measured: 21 curated suites, 9 holding exactly ONE file, 12 holding <=4, and 2 reachable from any gate. I proposed cutting ~11. The evidence supported FOUR. cognition, teaching, packs and algebra are named in AGENTS.md's own pre-merge-gate instruction; fast, pulse and proof in the CLI's help text; phase5, phase6, adr-0024, math and formation in READMEs and ADRs. Deleting those breaks documented commands — worse than the sprawl. Taking the 4 the evidence supports, rather than the 11 I had already said out loud, is the whole point. Deleted: refusal, margin, rotor, inner-loop. Zero --suite references anywhere in code, docs, ADRs, workflows or CLI help. Per-phase ADR-0024 aliases offered so reviewers could run a phase independently; nothing ever did. All seven of their files remain covered by adr-0024 — verified BEFORE the cut — so nothing was orphaned and no coverage moved. 21 -> 17 suites. Pin 3's gate-unreachable gap 19 -> 15 BY DELETION, which costs no gate time at all, versus promotion which costs it every run. An alias nobody calls is not a curation decision; it is one more name that has to be kept true, and two ratchets were policing these. Registers: H-9 CLOSED, PR-3 and PR-3b marked LANDED, G-5 carries the seven migrated items, the taxonomy's L12 row records the ruling.

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 — 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 (M0–M6, 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 | 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 |
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.
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 §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.
