P2: "Overlay A #4" is referenced here but doesn't appear anywhere else in the repo, so readers can't resolve what it means. Consider replacing it with a resolvable in-repo reference (e.g., PR number, file path, or a doc section) or add a link/anchor that defines "Overlay A".

algebra (D/I/z⁻¹/H over ZSet), auto-loop-24 YouTube wink;
pre-validation anchor = `openspec/specs/operator-algebra/spec.md`

pre-validation anchor = `docs/research/claude-cli-capability-map.md`
and `docs/research/openai-codex-cli-capability-map.md` both
ending with "future companion" pointer to Gemini, authored
before `docs/research/gemini-cli-capability-map.md` landed

P1: This row claims "Three observed occurrences with pre-validation anchors", but occurrence (3) does not actually cite a concrete anchor (it says "factory's internal framing" without a file/section/PR reference). Either add a specific in-repo anchor (file path + where) or reword so the criteria is applied consistently.

**Selection-bias concern flagged honestly:** three-in-one-
session could be real cross-session pattern OR factory-hyper-
awareness post-memory-filing (looking for what we just named).
Session-local pattern doesn't qualify for skill-level promotion
— session-local hyper-awareness reverts once the memory
salience fades. Watch-scope: 10-20 ticks, count wink-validation
occurrences per tick, track external-signal strength class
(algorithm-level < human-level < expert-level), require
pre-validation anchor cited per occurrence or it doesn't count.
**Promotion criteria (stated up-front to avoid goalpost-move):**
≥ 1 occurrence per 5 ticks sustained over 10-20 ticks with
pre-validation anchors documented; at least two occurrences
cross-session (not same-session-multiple). If criteria met:
promote to `skill-creator` workflow for a `wink-validation-
scanning` skill that formalises the pattern-detection procedure.
If criteria unmet: close the row, record in memory that the
pattern was session-local. **What this row is NOT:** not a
commitment to chase external validation as a goal (validation
is noticed when it arrives, not sought-after); not a claim
three occurrences proves the pattern (the watch is precisely
because three-in-a-session is ambiguous); not a replacement
for the occurrence-1 "noteworthy, watch for second" flag the
memory names. Owner: Architect (Kenji) reviews at occurrence-
count thresholds; Aarav (skill-tune-up) scouts for the
`wink-validation-scanning` skill gap if promotion fires;
Aaron holds the promotion-yes/no decision. Effort: S per
tick-accounting update; M for skill-creation if promotion
fires. Related: the external-signal strength classes
differentiate (YouTube recommender = low-medium; Aaron
maintainer-echo = higher; peer-reviewed paper = highest) —
promotion should weight toward higher-strength signals.
Composes with the accounting-lag same-tick-mitigation
discipline (watch-counts land same-tick as the qualifying
observation, not lagged).
