Round 44 auto-loop-19: BACKLOG P2 row — compoundings-per-tick audit#117
Conversation
Recurrence threshold met auto-loop-16/17/18 (2026-04-22). Tick-history rows have been narrating "compoundings this tick" as free prose without a named audit. Per the auto-loop-18 frontier-confidence memory, zero-compounding ticks have two distinct diagnoses with different fixes: livelock (no compounding attempted; substrate-missing-layer) and low-confidence (attempted-but-not-trusted-enough-to-land; substrate-present-but-not-applied). Row captures the codification path (AUTONOMOUS-LOOP.md step-6 extension or standalone research doc) with four open questions flagged to the maintainer (not self-resolved): location (step-6 vs research doc), tick-history schema (structured field vs narrative), flagged-low threshold, per-tick vs per-round cadence. Composes with auto-loop-16 livelock-as-factory-discipline (first failure-mode), auto-loop-18 frontier-confidence (second failure-mode), and ARC3-DORA memory-accumulation component (positive framing: compoundings = the moat).

Pull request overview
Adds a new P2 research-grade BACKLOG entry to formalize a “compoundings-per-tick audit” concept (tick-close self-diagnostic), including failure-mode taxonomy and open design questions for future codification (e.g., AUTONOMOUS-LOOP step addition vs standalone research note).
Changes:
- Adds a new P2 BACKLOG row defining the compoundings-per-tick audit and its livelock vs low-confidence taxonomy.
- Captures open questions about where/how to codify the audit and how to represent it in tick-history rows.

P1: The referenced memory file memory/feedback_frontier_confidence_load_bearing_terrain_map_moat_build_hand_hold_withdrawn_2026_04_22.md does not exist in the repository, so this is a broken xref. Either add the memory file under memory/ (if intended) or update the reference to the correct existing memory filename/path.

…note) (#119) Covers the span from PR #118 merge (end of auto-loop-20) through current tick. Individual rows for auto-loop-19/20/21/22/23 were not appended at the time of their work — gap noted explicitly per honest-accounting discipline rather than retroactively fabricated with invented timestamps. Span summary: - auto-loop-19: PR #117 compoundings-per-tick audit BACKLOG P2 row - auto-loop-20: PR #118 dep-cadence → doc-refresh BACKLOG P1 row + Copilot false-positive-shape catalog extended - auto-loop-21..23: PR #116 5-finding content-fix + merge - auto-loop-23: UI-DSL four-message architectural absorption - auto-loop-24 (current): consolidated row + gap-note Names the **accounting-lag** class — distinct from livelock (work produced) and clean tick-close (row appended). Candidate detection instrument flagged, not filed this tick. Markdownlint clean; pre-check grep clean (illustrative in-quote literal preserved as memory-pattern for rule-definition).
