Binary-only milestone fieldtest for milestone 36 (self-description): a
fieldtester agent bootstrapped from the release binary (d26f0c8) alone —
no engine sources, no repo docs, no bootstrap card — and drove five
end-to-end scenarios: cold bootstrap -> author -> validate (green,
synthetic + real EURUSD, 3944 trades), execution semantics +
latch/edge-pulse idiom (green), vocabulary breadth (33 nodes / 7 folds /
17 metrics / 6+6 blocks, every entry with a meaning), document ramp from
a bare {} (green, 3 members), trace/measurement path (dead-ends,
tracked).
Verdict: the bootstrap card (#267, closed as superseded) is empirically
redundant for the bootstrap->author->validate spine. Two seams keep the
promise short of end-to-end, both tracked outside M1: the declared-tap
drop on the registration path (#327, the missing mechanism of #312/M6)
and the sugar<->document axis namespace (#328, prerequisite of the #319
retirement). Friction routed: #329#330#331; evidence comments on #312
and #324. Milestone 36 closed with this adjudication; the fieldtest spec
remains the usual git-ignored working file.
