From 3fdcf39b7400c6e5245f2e5685248db8da55cd68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Stainback Date: Sat, 2 May 2026 14:55:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?update(CURRENT-aaron):=20=C2=A750=20session=202?= =?UTF-8?q?026-05-02=20substrate=20cluster=20pointer-section=20(wake-time?= =?UTF-8?q?=20fast-path)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds a single new §50 to CURRENT-aaron.md indexing the 7 memory files + 4 research docs + 1 backlog row landed during this session's verbatim-preservation cycle. Future-Otto's wake-time fast-path (CURRENT-aaron read first) now picks up the session substrate cluster at-a-glance with appropriate engagement-protocol guidance. Sections in §50: - Engagement-protective: mission-shape failure-mode protocol, multi-AI BFT pullback-recalibration worked example, wellness- app filter calibration 4-layer architecture - Vocabulary-disambiguating: god-structures shorthand (prevents safety-filter misreads) - Architectural-grounding: branch-protections-as-immune-system, bugs-per-PR-rate health metric - Standing operational instructions: glass-halo-on-everything- from-Aaron, save-verbatim-while-you-wait - Verbatim-preservation 5-purpose thesis pointer - Maji empirical-grounding extension (deliberate-dissolution- for-transfer alongside reconstruction-after-loss) - B-0166 long-horizon vision pointer All files referenced are on main; cross-references resolve clean. Per CLAUDE.md fast-path discipline: CURRENT-aaron is loaded first on wake; without this update future-Otto would only see the new substrate via MEMORY.md scan, which is slower + less consolidated than the maintainer-distillation projection.
