Fieldtest finding B1: the one remaining authored-envelope FILE route,
sweep --list-axes, skipped the root-name gate — a hand-edited
"name":"../escape" listed mangled, non-bindable wrapped axis names
at exit 0 while every sibling intake refused. The discovery surface now
gates before any axis line prints (exit 1, shared prose), restoring
both the #331 every-authored-intake claim and #328's discovery-surface
identity. RED-first: the e2e refusal test was written and observed
failing (exit 0, axis lines printed) before the fix.
Re-enumeration of every read_to_string-fed envelope load confirms the
class is now closed; C24 additionally ratifies the fieldtest's SG1 —
the refusal core sentence is byte-uniform across sites while the
leading context prefix varies by site convention.
refs #331, #328
Architect drift review (drift_found) resolved fix-path on all three
items. [high] The sweep/walkforward/mc family builders and
validate_and_register_axes read authored envelope files and
put_blueprint'd them ungated — falsifying the C29 exemption's premise
that the store is populated through gated intakes; all four sites now
gate the root name before the family/axis build (placing the gate
after the build produced a misleading unknown-axis error instead of
the gate refusal — RED-verified), with an e2e pin on the synthetic
sweep route. The decision was gate-the-routes, not weaken-the-prose:
the exemption's premise is the invariant, not a wording choice.
[medium] C24 now states the gate rule as the class it is (the op
intake plus every CLI intake reading an authored envelope from a
file; store read-back exempt, C29). [low] C23 reconciles
names-as-debug-symbols with the render name's one operational role
(trace-directory key — never compilation, identity, or execution
semantics).
Ratify: aura-bench cli_fixed_cost baseline re-pinned
(run_line_fnv 6bb0d796f760d140 -> 9bdbc3acf7b2926a). The moved metric
was caused by the #328 tidy (4474814), which switched single-run
manifest defaults from wrapped to raw axis names after that cycle's
bench rerun had already passed; bbac29d and this cycle's HEAD produce
fingerprint-identical record lines (verified with both binaries on
one scratch project), so this cycle only inherits the stale pin. All
five surfaces fingerprint OK after the re-pin.
refs #331, #328
The authoring guide's ops table grows the name row (ten -> eleven) plus
a paragraph on what the graph default costs a multi-strategy project
(indistinguishable store entries, one shared trace directory, colliding
use-splice instance defaults). C24's op-script grammar records the
eleventh verb and the two-seam shape gate with its C29 read-back
exemption; the glossary's blueprint-label entry now separates the
render name (op-settable, keys trace runs and instance defaults) from
the registry label (register --name, explicit, orthogonal).
refs #331
The C24 axis-discovery paragraph loses its obsolete rationale (names
prefixed by the wrapping, discovery pinned to the sweep verb) in favour
of the one-raw-namespace statement; C18 records the ratified #246
bound-override coincidence contract (param_space OR bound_param_space,
no schema flag) as the document-side absorption #328 demanded; the
glossary sweep and use entries, the authoring-guide worked block, and
the README axis examples move to raw names. Refusal transcripts quote
the byte-actual binary output (review caught an invented aura: error:
prefix; the campaign-validate transcript shows the real fault_block
shape). Frozen corpora (fieldtests/, *.history.md) keep their
historical wrapped prose.
refs #328
Architect drift review (fable gate) on 26b3d68..HEAD, full diff read.
What holds: invariant 4 stays clean (ArgKind a separate closed enum at
every surface), minuted scope held (aura-research and SessionFrankfurt
untouched, no matrix surfacing), C18/C19 discipline held (args-free
bytes golden-pinned at v1, args id-bearing, no pending builder reaches
a graph on op or load path).
Fixed here (high/medium items): C24's out-of-the-round-trippable-set
paragraph still listed LinComb/CostSum/Session — now records their
#271 entry, with SimBroker as the remaining (scalar-typed, narrower)
exclusion; the pre-ship-dormancy paragraph's 'first ship freezes v1'
sentence stales against the shipped data-driven v2 writer — the
dormancy is recorded as ended by #271, the first exercised Tier-2 bump.
Routed (low items): #341 — refuse serializing a still-pending builder
on the Rust path (silent unloadable v1 artifact); version-refusal
prose prints only the ceiling.
Regression: aura-bench all five surfaces fingerprint OK, deltas within
noise (max +2.3% wall at loadavg 2.7, report-only) — the hot path is
untouched by design (bootstrap-only channel). Full workspace suite
independently re-run by the orchestrator: test-exit 0. Spec and plan
swept per lifecycle.
refs #271, refs #341
C24 gains the add-op args clause and the data-driven format-version
paragraph (tier-2 discipline with id-stability); C15's current state
records Session as args-authorable; the glossary defines construction
arg and arg kind (and de-stales the session-node entry to aura-market);
the authoring guide fixes the moved roster path, extends the
Session-anchoring section with the args path, and teaches the add-op
args row; the README op-list sentence notes args on arg-bearing types.
refs #271
Fieldtest truth pass (composites-use, B1/S1/S2/S3):
- The "running an open pattern standalone refuses" sentence was wrong — and
it was this cycle's own ratification prose, not code. Reality (ratified
as-is): the harness binds input roles to archive columns BY NAME (C26), so
an open pattern whose roles match the data runs standalone as a matter of
design; what refuses, by name, is a role the harness cannot bind, or the
run surface's other gates (bias/tap, free knobs). The authoring guide's
input row now states exactly that; C24's input row ("only compile/
bootstrap require it bound") and the glossary's "requires them bound"
were already accurate and stand.
- README enumerated nine op kinds — the tenth (use) added (S2).
- The use-seam C29 doc gate is stated as what it is: a backstop — the
register verb already gates both input forms, so it fires only for store
content written before C29 or through the raw in-crate path (S3,
ratified).
B1's fieldtest classification was bug->debug; overridden to ratify+document:
the observed behaviour is C26-coherent and useful (quick-testing a pattern
against real data), the defect was the sentence. Minuted on #317.
refs #317, refs #339
C24: the op-script grammar section is rewritten to the ten verbs — repairing a
pre-existing drift on the way (it read "The eight verbs" and omitted the doc
op shipped with #316) — with the new use row and the open-pattern reading of
input roles; a "Registered-blueprint splice" paragraph records the resolution
split (all store I/O CLI-side at DTO conversion; the engine's second injected
closure mirrors vocab, the §"Enforcement shift" permission extended to
registered-blueprint references); the construction-gates paragraph moves
root-role boundness from the holistic finalize list to compile/bootstrap only
(#317 comment 4627).
C29: the register-seam wording drops "named" — the code gates EVERY nested
composite, recon-confirmed pre-existing prose/code mismatch — and the use seam
joins the seam list (build-time gate on fetched store content; no retroactive
invalidation of existing reads).
Glossary: use (op) and blueprint label entries. Authoring guide: ten ops
(the stale "nine ops" heading + the input row's obsolete finalize-refusal
claim corrected), the use row, and the register --name / discovery paragraph.
Prose truth per review: instance params are sweepable, NOT gangable (the gang
op refuses a composite instance's member path) — stated as such everywhere;
the gangability of spliced instances is recorded residue, not a claim.
refs #317
The single-file ledger had grown to 2968 lines / ~42k tokens, mixing
current design law with accreted history: 59 cycle-stamped realization
blocks, 18 [HISTORY] passages, 22 supersession markers, and the C10 /
C22 / C24 reframe sagas layered several supersessions deep. A
code-grounding audit (31 agents, adversarially verified) confirmed 11
defects stated as current truth: stale crate homes from the C28 #288
roster split (cost nodes, PositionManagement, PositionEvent, Session),
the renamed InputSpec->PortSpec, the pre-#241 project model in C16 and
the open-threads section, a stale HarnessKind retirement deferral in
C24, and three C28-internal inconsistencies.
New shape, per the ailang precedent:
- INDEX.md stays the sole addressable entry point: foundation, external
components, a C-id-keyed contract map (one line per contract), and
only the genuinely open architectural threads.
- contracts/cNN-<slug>.md carries each contract's current truth only:
Guarantee / Forbids / Why with ratified refinements integrated, plus
a code-anchored Current state. All confirmed defects are fixed here;
crate anchors were re-verified against the tree.
- contracts/cNN-<slug>.history.md (18 sidecars) and INDEX.history.md
preserve every superseded block verbatim, stamps and issue refs
intact, under a frozen-record banner. Nothing was deleted: superseded
design intent remains an addressable working-tree artifact, off the
per-cycle audit walk.
- Ledger discipline is now stated in INDEX.md: live files are edited in
place at cycle close, superseded text moves verbatim to the sidecar,
and a supersession marker in a live file is itself an audit finding.
Every contract file was verified against its old text by an independent
zero-loss pass (statement-by-statement) plus a code-accuracy spot check;
C-ids and contract titles are unchanged, so existing C-id citations in
code, tests, and issues resolve as before.
