+## 2026-05-09 — Iteration 22-tidy: DESIGN.md and spec drift after milestone-22 close
+
+Audit (architect drift review) flagged three doc-drift sites
+where DESIGN.md and the spec described an as-originally-planned
+milestone 22 (Prelude shipping, `print` rewired through Show.show,
+`Float` type, Form-B class/instance render in 22b.4) instead of
+what actually shipped (no Prelude, primitive print primitives,
+no Float, prose render queued post-22). The fix is mechanical
+across three files; no code logic changes.
+
+**Per-task subjects:**
+
+- 22-tidy.1: DESIGN.md — reconcile Decision 11 with milestone-22 outcome (no Prelude, '__' separator)
+- 22-tidy.2: spec — components table reflects 22b.4a/b split + 22c shipped
+- 22-tidy.3: prose-lib — drop 22b.4 reference from class/instance placeholder
+
+**Milestone-22 status: CLOSED.** The four acceptance criteria from
+the spec are all satisfied:
+
+1. JOURNAL entries committed: 22b.1, 22b.2, 22b.3, 22b.4a, 22c.
+2. Audit suite green — drift report addressed (this iter); bench
+   gates 0/0/0 at 22c close (rerun confirmed at milestone-22 audit
+   on 2026-05-09).
+3. 22c user-class fixture compiles, runs, prints `42`.
+4. Round-trip skip-list retired in 22b.4a; all 106 fixtures in
+   `examples/*.ail.json` pass round-trip.
+
+**Carried debt (not gating, not in this iter's scope):**
+
+- Primitive-name set duplicated across 4 sites
+  (`crates/ailang-check/src/mono.rs:316-327`, `linearity.rs:143`,
+  `lib.rs:1240`, `lib.rs:2222`). Flagged in 22b.3 JOURNAL,
+  re-flagged by milestone-22 audit. Consolidation is a real
+  refactor (one helper, four call sites) and benefits from being
+  its own iter. Queued.
+- Strict duplicate-clause detection in `parse_fn` / `parse_data`
+  / `parse_const` (sibling parsers to the 22b.4a additions). The
+  asymmetry is documented; promoting siblings to the strict
+  pattern is queued.
+- Form-B (prose) printer arms for ClassDef / InstanceDef. One-way,
+  not gating.
+- Lib.rs gap-related sites at lib.rs:1266 / 1853-1856 / 1978 /
+  2314-2316 — reachable only through paths that already populate
+  the env correctly, but the same discipline that was applied in
+  mono.rs (workspace-wide flat tables) could be hardened
+  defensively. Not currently broken.
+
+**What's next:** orchestrator's call. The JOURNAL queue's
+substantive items per recent entries are: post-22 Prelude
+milestone (gated on user-author demand for primitive
+`Show`/`Eq`/`Ord`), operator routing through `Eq`/`Ord` (gated on
+bench re-baselining), the primitive-name-set consolidation, or
+unrelated work. The milestone-cycle dictates `brainstorm` for
+whichever lands next.
