…183 merged

Sixth audit. ALIGNMENT.md classified factory-generic. 20
clauses (HC/SD/DIR) structurally instructional; substance
transfers to any adopter. Effort: S (project-name
substitution + signatures template-ify).

Load-bearing finding: the factory's alignment substrate
transfers cleanly to any Frontier adopter. Common Sense
2.0's 5 safety properties are structurally available to
any adopter inheriting Frontier, not just Zeta.

PR #183 (CONFLICT-RESOLUTION audit) merged this tick.
PR #185 (ALIGNMENT audit) armed for auto-merge.

Progress: 6 audits in 8 ticks; ~10 remaining; projected
completion ~Otto-24.

…-DO); halfway mark

Seventh + eighth audits landed in a single tick. Batched
cadence proven: 2× audit throughput at similar tick
overhead as single-file ticks.

AUTONOMOUS-LOOP.md: factory-generic (cleanest; zero
refactor). Otto's own operating spec inherits verbatim —
any Claude-Code-using adopter gets the autonomous-loop
discipline free.

WONT-DO.md: both (coupled). Shape transfers; Zeta-specific
entries stay in Zeta's library decision record.

Progress: 8 of ~16 files = halfway. Balanced tally 4
factory-generic + 4 both-coupled.

PR #186 armed. Seven PRs now simultaneously armed (#165/
#178/#181/#182/#184/#185/#186) — free-tier CI throughput
is the bottleneck.

Pattern-summary classification: ALIGNMENT moved from
factory-generic to both (coupled) to match its in-file
`## Audit —` section (codex P2 line 886). Counts updated:
4 factory-generic + 7 both-coupled + 4 zeta-library-specific
= 15.

Cross-PR note (line 895+) refreshed: PR #188 has merged, so
all 15 audits now have dedicated `## Audit —` sections in
this file; the wait-for-merge option has resolved itself. A
reader can `grep '^## Audit —'` and reproduce the 15-count
directly (copilot P1 line 72 inconsistency cleared).

BACKLOG row at line 5379 updated: removed stale "live in
sibling PRs #185 / #188 (still open)" premise (copilot P1 +
codex P2). Row now scopes to the residual concern (option c
tooling / CI diff check) since options (a) and (b) have
resolved naturally for the first 15 audits.

…of ~16 done) (#190)

* frontier-readiness: gap #5 audit — 5-file planning-docs batch (15 of ~16 done)

Batched audit of the project-planning files. All classified
short-form since shape is factory-generic + content is
project-specific.

- GLOSSARY.md → both (coupled): format generic, Zeta-term
  entries specific
- ROUND-HISTORY.md → zeta-library-specific: Zeta's rounds
- BACKLOG.md → zeta-library-specific: ~6700 lines Zeta rows
- ROADMAP.md → zeta-library-specific: Zeta roadmap
- VISION.md → zeta-library-specific: Zeta vision, 11-pass
  editing history, Elisabeth dedication

Pattern after 15 audits (3 classes cleanly separated):
- 5 factory-generic (GOVERNANCE / AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES /
  ALIGNMENT / AUTONOMOUS-LOOP / FACTORY-HYGIENE)
- 6 both-coupled (CLAUDE / AGENTS / CONFLICT-RESOLUTION /
  WONT-DO / TECH-RADAR / GLOSSARY)
- 4 zeta-library-specific (ROUND-HISTORY / BACKLOG /
  ROADMAP / VISION)

15 of ~16 top-level files done. Remaining: directory-
level audits (.claude/skills/**, .claude/agents/**,
openspec/**, tools/**, .github/**).

Multi-repo split mechanical plan clearer:
- factory-generic → verbatim to Frontier (5 files)
- both-coupled → surgical edits per file, most to Frontier
  with Zeta content extracted (6 files)
- zeta-library-specific → stay in Zeta, Frontier gets
  empty templates (4 files)

* review-drain: role-refs for VISION.md audit + fix pattern-summary count

Two PR #190 review threads:

- PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59NTkB (P1, line ~492): rewrite direct
  contributor-name attribution to role references per Otto-220
  name-attribution discipline. "Aaron's 11-pass editorial
  lineage" -> "human-maintainer 11-pass editorial lineage";
  "Elisabeth dedication" -> generic "in-memoriam dedication
  header" with a pointer to the "honor those that came before"
  discipline in CLAUDE.md (which is where the specific
  named-memory carve-out lives).
- PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59NTkg (P1, line ~504): pattern-summary table
  said Count=5 for "both (coupled)" but listed 6 files with a
  "(6 actually)" marker. Corrected count to 6, removed the
  marker, added an explicit 5+6+4=15 totals line so the table
  is mechanically consistent.

No semantic change to the audit classifications; the VISION.md
row still reads zeta-library-specific and the file still
belongs on the Zeta side of the split.

* review-drain: approximate line counts + correct ROUND-HISTORY attribution

Addresses 5 copilot-pull-request-reviewer threads on PR #190:
- GLOSSARY.md length 814 -> approximately 840 (current tree is ~840)
- ROUND-HISTORY append-only discipline no longer attributed to
  GOVERNANCE §2+§6 (§2 is "docs are current-state", §6 is round
  naming; neither establishes append-only). Re-attributed to the
  file's own preamble as the authoritative source.
- ROUND-HISTORY.md length 3559 -> approximately 3560
- BACKLOG.md length 6761 -> "approximately 8500 (grows tick-by-tick;
  see BACKLOG split design doc)" — switching to approximate framing
  prevents recurring drift as backlog grows, and points at the
  Phase-1a generator already on main (PR #354).
- ROADMAP.md length 177 -> approximately 178
- VISION.md length 886 -> approximately 887

Switching from exact to approximate line counts is reviewer's own
suggested remediation; this eliminates the audit's dependency on
stable file sizes that are expected to drift.

Rebased on main after BACKLOG split Phase-1a (PR #354) landed;
keep-both-sides resolution on the append-only "Files audited"
list per Otto-229.

* drain: resolve 2 post-rebase threads on #190

Fixes (narrow) for both Copilot P1 at line 68 (dedicated bullets
for cross-PR audits) and Codex P2 at line 770 (honest 13-of-15
in-file count + mechanical-verification deficit flag pointing at
existing BACKLOG row).

* rebase-cleanup: remove stale 'audit pending sibling PR' notes after #188 merge

After rebasing onto origin/main (which carries PR #188's TECH-RADAR +
FACTORY-HYGIENE audits in this file), two PR-side breadcrumb rows that
said 'audited on sibling PR #188 ... no Audit section pending that merge'
are factually wrong — the merge has happened; the Audit sections exist.

Fold the cross-PR note accordingly.

Otto-254 roll-forward; no content re-litigated.

* fix: markdownlint MD018 on wrapped #188 (backtick-wrap per Otto-260)

Post-rebase #188-reference sat at wrapped-line-start. Backtick-wrap per Otto-260 (preserve canonical form; reflow/wrap, never rename).
