Gate-first TDD: widened design_index_pin.rs clause-3 to a hand-rolled
FAITHFUL Sweep-1 superset (case-sensitive digit-anchored line anchors
+ Sweep-1's ^[^/]* path-excluded date + the audit-named
decision-record phrases, case-insensitive); no regex dep; the blanket
iter-detector rejected as unworkable. Sentence-level strip of
faithfully-migrated history/decision-record prose out of 5 contract
files (the audit's 3 spot-checked + roundtrip-invariant.md +
data-model.md the exhaustive scan found) into the decision-record
journal, each replaced by its present-tense contract equivalent;
float-semantics.md stale 'see Str ABI below' -> str-abi.md;
architect_sweeps honesty sweeps re-scoped to design/contracts only
(models/ is the narrative tier) + ailang-architect.md lockstep.
Invariant: clause-3 GREEN => Sweep-1 clean in contracts/.
The prior dispatch correctly BLOCKED on a real plan defect (iso_date
lacked Sweep-1's path-exclusion, over-firing on legit
docs/specs/2026-.. citations); per the two+-defects-in-one-iteration
discipline the audit Resolution mechanism+scope were corrected
upstream in lockstep (f2cdd67) before re-dispatch, not patched a
third time.
Boss-verified independently: cargo test --workspace 646/0,
design_index_pin 4/4 (clause-3 RED->GREEN), architect_sweeps.sh exit
0 'All five sweeps clean' (acceptance criterion 9 met), acceptance
grep CLEAN, 3 docs_honesty_pin pinned runs each exactly 1 contiguous
match. Zero spec/quality re-loops. FINAL design-md-rolesplit
iteration — milestone functionally complete, audited, drift-resolved,
hard gate enforces the honesty spirit.
The 3020-line docs/DESIGN.md is replaced by the design/ ledger:
design/INDEX.md (sole addressable spine, typed Contracts+Models tables,
polymorphic links — prose file OR authoritative source //!), 14
design/contracts/*.md test-linked invariants + 3 source-link-only
contracts (mangling/env-construction/qualified-xref, no prose file —
code is SoT), 5 design/models/*.md whitepapers, and
docs/journals/2026-05-19-design-decision-records.md (the
relitigation-guard archive — every why/rejected/does-not-do/rollback/
empirical ### moved out at ###-granularity). Clean cut: git rm
docs/DESIGN.md, no stub.
RED-first crates/ailang-core/tests/design_index_pin.rs — the 4-clause
anti-regrowth spine (DESIGN.md-gone / every-INDEX-link-resolves /
every-contract-names-a-resolvable-ratifier /
contracts-carry-no-decision-record-prose) — demonstrably RED before,
GREEN after. Build-atomic by task ordering: design_schema_drift.rs's
include_str! (the only compile-time consumer) retargeted to
design/contracts/data-model.md BEFORE the deletion; its
## Data model/## Pipeline slicer dropped (a simplification the split
enables). 2 NoInstance diagnostics + 2 lockstep E2Es retargeted to
design/contracts/{float-semantics,typeclasses}.md. ~12 agent reading
lists + 5 SKILL bodies + CLAUDE.md + skills/README.md + ~25
code/C/.ail/spec comment xrefs retargeted; OQ7 dangling 'Iter 13b'
cite deleted (no forward target — a pointer would be fiction).
honesty-rule.md rewritten so the rule names the new home
(rationale->journals), resolving the recon-found internal
contradiction; the two docs_honesty_pin.rs:70,72 pinned phrases kept
verbatim+contiguous.
Boss-verified independently: cargo test --workspace 646 passed /
0 failed; design_index_pin 4/4; acceptance grep CLEAN of live
DESIGN.md refs (residuals = only the spec-mandated clause-4
deletion-enforcer). 2 DONE_WITH_CONCERNS routed to the mandatory
milestone-close audit: (a) str-abi.md:23 '(iter str-concat,
2026-05-13)' provenance stamp trips advisory architect_sweeps Sweep-1
— Boss-confirmed byte-identical to DESIGN.md@deeffb1:2062-2065, a
faithfully-migrated PRE-EXISTING anchor (regexes verbatim, only path
retargeted), NOT split-introduced — RATIFY-or-tidy at audit; (b) a
now stale-direction intra-prose 'see Str ABI below' cross-ref in
float-semantics.md — audit-adjudication candidate. Plan defect noted:
Task 9 Step 4's verbatim acceptance grep used a ^./ anchor not
matching the system's grep -rIn output; substance re-verified CLEAN.
Spec grounding-check PASS x2. Journals INDEX + decision-records
pointer appended (Boss-only).
