The skill-system migration (c1441f3) moved skills/ out of the repo
to ~/dev/skills/, but the feature-acceptance contract's ratifying
anchor still pointed at the now-gone `skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md`.
`every_contract_names_a_resolvable_ratifying_test` in
design_index_pin.rs (the test the honesty-rule wires to every
contract row) caught it.
Re-anchor to `CLAUDE.md` § "Feature acceptance: LLM utility" —
that section in the in-tree project discipline file IS the
ratification of the criterion; the brainstorm skill is the
out-of-tree mechanism that applies it at spec time. Two edits in
lockstep: design/INDEX.md row 81 and the "Ratified by:" line at
the bottom of the contract body.
Not iter-scoped (orthogonal to prep.3 of kernel-extension-
mechanics, which landed in 9339279).
All 176 files in the four accumulating directories now use a
zero-padded 4-digit counter prefix that reflects creation order
(`NNNN-slug.md`). The counter is assigned per directory in strict
git-log creation order; ties broken alphabetically by original name.
The old `YYYY-MM-DD-` prefix on docs/specs/ and docs/plans/ files is
dropped — the date is recoverable from git log and the counter
carries the ordering.
A file's counter is stable for the life of the file: never reassigned,
never reused, never compacted. Deleted files retire their counter;
subsequent files do not fill the gap. This is the property that lets
cross-references stay literal — refs use the full filename including
the counter (`design/contracts/0007-honesty-rule.md`) so they grep
cleanly and resolve directly without a glob step.
313 cross-references updated across .md/.rs/.toml/.c/.json files
(test pins, include_str! paths, design-INDEX entries, baseline notes,
runtime C comments, inter-contract markdown links incl. bare basename
and `../models/foo.md` forms).
CLAUDE.md gets a new "File-naming convention" section spelling out
the rule and rationale. skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md and
skills/planner/SKILL.md updated so new spec/plan creation produces
counter-prefixed names from the start.
The full test suite (cargo test --workspace) passes.
