The fieldtest's spec_gap closed per the #316 decision (tighten, not
ratify): doc_gate normalizes the doc against both the full entry name
and its bare display segment after the last :: -- an extension node
ns::Scale with doc "Scale" now refuses (RestatesName), matching the
register seam's effective bare-name behaviour. Unnamespaced entries
are unchanged (the checks coincide); genuine meaning lines containing
the name as a substring stay accepted (equality, not containment).
The C29 contract sentence carries the precision.
Gates: workspace green (98 suites, 0 failed -- incl. the C29 coverage
walk over every shipped doc under the tightened gate), clippy clean.

Cycle-close audit for the self-description cycle. Architect: drift_found
(mild), core holds -- the gate is pure string shape in core imported by
every seam (C28), the engine never evaluates description text (C17/inv
10), determinism pins untouched (C1); the store boundary is gated by
construction with the raw write private; Op::Doc is a closed typed
construct (C25). Regression: aura-bench green (exit 0) after one
cycle-caused infra fix and one ratified re-pin.
Infra fix: the bench campaign seeds (BP_SMA_A/B) predate C29 and were
refused by the store gate (exit 2, infrastructure-first rule) -- both
thread the authored sma_signal meaning line.
Ratify: cli_fixed_cost's run_line_fnv moved because bench_sma_a.json now
carries its doc -- the blueprint's content id shifts exactly as the spec
anticipates for fixtures gaining docs; campaign result fingerprints are
unchanged (descriptions stay out of execution, C29). Baselines re-pinned
via aura-bench pin (throughput baselines re-pinned in the same sweep,
all deltas within tolerance at pin time).
Drift disposition:
- [high] C29 guarantee overclaim vs emit/binding-column vocabularies ->
contract now carries an explicit Scope paragraph naming the residue,
tracked as #321 (also covers the [medium] non-roster schema walk gap).
- [low] Delay's meaning line cited the stale C5 for the delay register;
corrected to C9.
refs #316, refs #321
The cycle's design principle enters the ledger: every closed-vocabulary
entry the binary exposes carries a one-line meaning behind one shared
deterministic shape gate (doc_gate) at three seams -- compile/unit for
engine-shipped entries, load for native node crates, register for the
content-addressed store (documents: an additive-optional gated
description). Forbids the engine evaluating description text (C17 /
invariant 10), any influence on execution/identity/determinism (C1),
retroactive invalidation of registered artifacts, and machine-invented
meaning lines. Why: the audience is headless LLM agents (#319); field
evidence #314 showed schema knowledge being recovered by CAS forensics
from the release binary -- the removed failure class.
All spec acceptance criteria are now met across the four iterations of
this cycle (core carrier + std texts; domain threading; load seam;
register seam + op-script doc slot + document description).
