Fieldtest fork: RestatesName vs the namespaced short name
The cycle's fieldtest surfaced an underspecified reading in the C29 gate: at the load seam the entry name is the full namespaced type…
Backlog placement (2026-07-23 triage scheme)
The 2026-07-23 backlog triage organized the open backlog into six sequenced milestones (self-description; data-authorability boundary; stderr…
Op-script doc slot (iteration 3, mid-iteration fork)
The store-boundary gate exposed an anticipated hole: op-script-built composites (GraphSession::finish) deliberately carry no doc surface…
Register-seam refinements (iteration 3)
Four forks derived while planning the register seam; recorded per the decision-log discipline.
- **The gate lives inside the store's own public write…
Load-seam refinements (iteration 2)
Three small forks derived while turning the spec's load-seam section into the iteration plan; recorded per the decision-log discipline.
- **The refusal…
Additional requirements from #320 (generalizing the trace store into a recorded-stream store that holds engine inputs as well as taps), recorded here so the encoding chosen for this issue does not…
Autonomous sign-off (specify)
The self-description design spec — description carriers for every closed vocabulary, one shared deterministic shape gate, three enforcement seams (compile/unit…
Design reconciliation (specify)
Spec: self-description. The forks below are still listed open on this issue; this records their resolution.
- Fork: mandatory doc-string scope → mandatory…
Decision (user, 2026-07-23): the retirement is ratified. The research-verb sugar (run/sweep/walkforward/mc/generalize as flag surfaces) will be retired in favour of document-first…
Post-close field evidence for the open direction fork (item 2 — which projection is built first): the 2026-07-22 external field test, an LLM agent driving the release binary through a full…
Scope note (user decision, 2026-07-23): once #316 (self-description as a ledger design principle — every surface explains itself) is fully implemented, the bootstrap card's role as a separate…
