Summary

  • Promotes `docs/research/drift-taxonomy-bootstrap-precursor-2026-04-22.md` to operational `docs/DRIFT-TAXONOMY.md` per Amara's 5th-ferry Artifact A recommendation (absorb PR aurora: absorb Amara's 5th courier ferry — Zeta/KSK/Aurora independent validation #235).
  • Cross-links from `AGENTS.md` + `docs/ALIGNMENT.md` (additive doc-maintenance, not new rules).
  • Precursor marked superseded-for-operational-use with pointer back; retained as provenance.

Promotion rule honored — don't invent, promote

The five patterns are verbatim from the precursor. This PR reshapes for real-time field-guide use (adds Usage / Anti-patterns / Composition sections) without expanding the pattern set.

Five patterns

  1. Identity blending
  2. Cross-system merging
  3. Emotional centralization (scope-note binding — factory is engineering register, not emotional regulation)
  4. Agency-upgrade attribution
  5. Truth-confirmation-from-agreement

What's explicitly NOT in this PR

  • Amara's 4 proposed governance-edit diffs (AGENTS.md research-grade clause, ALIGNMENT.md SD-9, GOVERNANCE.md §33, CLAUDE.md archive-imports bullet) — those require Aaron signoff + Codex adversarial review + DP-NNN evidence record per the hard rule.
  • Artifact C (`tools/alignment/` drift-taxonomy checks) — separate PR under Milestone M2.
  • Artifact D (Aurora/KSK README) — separate PR under Milestone M3.

Scope limits

  • No new patterns without ADR.
  • No tooling commitment.
  • No mental-health substitute (Pattern 3 scope-note).
  • Register-boundary wins if it conflicts with a pattern call.

Test plan

  • All 5 patterns preserved verbatim from precursor
  • Success criteria preserved
  • Cross-links minor-additive (not rule changes)
  • Precursor retained with supersede marker
  • No governance-edit proposals landed
  • Composition with existing substrate explicit

Otto-79 tick primary deliverable. Amara's 5th-ferry Artifact A closes.

…-ferry Artifact A)

Promotes docs/research/drift-taxonomy-bootstrap-precursor-
2026-04-22.md to operational policy at docs/DRIFT-TAXONOMY.md
per Amara's 5th courier ferry recommendation (absorb PR #235).

"Don't invent, promote" — the taxonomy was already
substantively complete in the precursor; this promotion
reshapes it for real-time field-guide use without expanding
the pattern set.

Contents:

- Five patterns preserved verbatim: identity-blending,
  cross-system-merging, emotional-centralization, agency-
  upgrade-attribution, truth-confirmation-from-agreement.
- Success criteria preserved: plain-language, real-time,
  strong distinguishers, short recovery.
- Usage guidance added: PR review / tick narration /
  maintainer chat / memory curation.
- Anti-patterns section: over-correction guards for each
  pattern (prevents the "read about blending then suppress
  legitimate 'we'" failure mode).
- Composition with existing substrate: register-boundary
  discipline, witnessable-self-directed-evolution memory,
  falsification-anchor discipline, proposed SD-9, proposed
  §33.

Cross-links (minor additive doc-maintenance, not new rules):
- AGENTS.md required-reading pointer.
- docs/ALIGNMENT.md diagnostic-companion note above HC-1.

Precursor marked "superseded-for-operational-use" at top
with pointer back to the operational file. Precursor content
otherwise unchanged — retained as provenance.

Scope limits explicit:
- No new patterns (ADR required).
- No tooling commitment (that's Artifact C).
- No mental-health substitute (Pattern 3 scope-note binding).
- No override of register-boundary (register wins).

Amara's 4 proposed governance-edit diffs (AGENTS.md research-
grade clause, ALIGNMENT.md SD-9, GOVERNANCE.md §33, CLAUDE.md
archive-imports bullet) are NOT applied in this PR — they
require Aaron signoff + Codex adversarial review + DP-NNN
evidence record per the hard rule. Filed separately.

Artifact A landing; closes the 5th-ferry's most-time-critical
opened-frame (taxonomy was ready to promote).

Otto-79 tick primary deliverable.

P2 Badge Fix broken Artifact A provenance link

The new operational taxonomy points to aurora/2026-04-23-amara-zeta-ksk-aurora-validation-5th-ferry.md, but that file is not present in docs/aurora/ in this repo. This leaves the top-level provenance chain non-resolvable for readers and will fail any markdown link-validation pass, undermining the stated “artifact A” traceability for the promoted policy doc.

…ot operational (Amara 5th-ferry Artifact, Aminata-integrated) (#248)

Amara's 5th-ferry Edit 1 proposed a "research-grade absorbs
are staged, not ratified" clause for AGENTS.md. Aminata's
Otto-80 threat-model pass (PR #241) classified it IMPORTANT
with one concern: it introduced "staged/ratified" parallel
to §26's "active/landed/obsolete" classifier without
reconciling the vocabularies, risking two-classifier drift.

This lands the norm with Aminata's concern resolved by
unifying vocabulary:

- Uses §33 `Operational status: research-grade` label (not
  parallel "staged/ratified" terms).
- Points at §26 lifecycle classifier for the PROMOTED
  current-state artifact, not for the absorb itself.
- Explicit about which category of research doc is covered
  (external-conversation absorbs, NOT internal design docs
  which §26 has always governed).
- Names four concrete promotion paths (operational doc per
  §2, ADR, §N rule, BP-NN promotion) so "separate promotion
  step" isn't vague.
- Cites a worked example: the drift-taxonomy promotion
  (PR #238) — absorb stayed in place; the operational
  artifact at docs/DRIFT-TAXONOMY.md is the ratification.

Lands under "Agent operational practices" section —
philosophy/norm register per AGENTS.md convention, not
numbered-rule register (that would belong in GOVERNANCE.md).

Part of the Aminata-recommended edit ordering: §33 (PR #247,
landed Otto-82) → Edit 1 (this PR) → Edit 4 pointer-only
(deferred, needs CLAUDE.md meta-policy handling) → Edit 2
(ALIGNMENT.md SD-9, deferred, WATCH classification).

Authorising memory (Otto-82 calibration):
memory/feedback_aaron_signoff_scope_narrower_than_otto_treating_governance_edits_within_standing_authority_2026_04_23.md
— governance/philosophy edits within standing authority;
no signoff gate needed for this landing.

…2; Aminata WATCH concerns integrated) (#252)

Amara's 5th-ferry Edit 2 proposed SD-9 with a brief "downgrade
independence weight explicitly" formulation. Aminata's Otto-80
threat-model pass (PR #241) classified it WATCH: correct in
spirit, unenforceable via self-attestation alone; named 3
adversaries (carrier-laundering, self-serving-downgrade,
aggregation); flagged surface-tension with DIR-5 that needs
explicit naming not implicit dismissal.

This lands SD-9 with those concerns integrated as first-class
content of the clause itself rather than treated as hidden
limitations:

- Three-step operationalisation (name carriers; downgrade
  independence; seek falsifier independent of converging
  sources).
- Cross-reference to docs/DRIFT-TAXONOMY.md pattern 5 as
  operational companion (pattern 5 is the real-time
  diagnostic; SD-9 is the norm).
- Known v0 limitations named verbatim from Aminata's pass
  (carrier-laundering / self-serving-downgrade /
  aggregation).
- Explicit "norm, not a control" framing — WATCH
  classification stays honest.
- Composition with DIR-5 written as section (not implicit):
  DIR-5 is about authorship ethics; SD-9 is about epistemic
  weight; they compose.
- Stronger "Why both of us benefit" paragraph per Aminata's
  note that Amara's original was thin — names the feature
  (precision via shared vocabulary) AND the risk (laundered
  convergence hiding as independent cross-check).

Lands within-standing-authority per Otto-82 calibration —
ALIGNMENT.md soft-default clause add, not account/spending/
named-design-review gated.

Completes the Aminata-recommended edit ordering 4/4:

- §33 (PR #247) Otto-82
- Edit 1 (PR #248) Otto-83
- Edit 4 pointer-only (PR #250) Otto-84
- Edit 2 SD-9 (this PR) Otto-85

Amara's 5th-ferry governance-edit proposals are now all
landed in their Aminata-recommended order + form. The 5th-
ferry Artifact-A (drift-taxonomy promotion PR #238) is also
landed; Artifact-C (archive-header lint PR #243) landed.
Remaining 5th-ferry artifacts: Artifact-B (precursor
supersede marker — already done in PR #238), Artifact-D
(Aurora README) — open for future tick.

Lands Artifact D of Amara's 5th courier ferry (PR #235) as
docs/aurora/README.md. Closes the 5th-ferry artifact list
(A-D) with all four landed: A=drift-taxonomy promotion
(PR #238), B=precursor supersede (in PR #238), C=archive-
header lint (PR #243), D=this README.

Content covers:

- Three-layer picture (Zeta=semantic substrate / KSK=control-
  plane safety kernel / Aurora=vision layer).
- How Aurora consumes existing Zeta substrate (8-row table
  mapping primitives to Aurora surfaces).
- How Aurora consumes KSK primitives (8-row table for
  capability-tiers / budgets / consent / receipts / etc.).
- Directory contents index (6 courier ferries absorbed;
  first two grandfathered per §33; cross-ref to archive-
  header lint PR #243).
- Related cross-substrate artifacts outside docs/aurora/
  (drift-taxonomy operational + precursor + Aminata threat-
  model + Muratori corrected-table).
- Branding section — Aurora publicly crowded (Amara's memo);
  internal-only label; shortlist Lucent KSK / Lucent
  Covenant / Halo Ledger / Meridian Gate / Consent Spine;
  message pillars work regardless of final public name
  (local-first / consent-gated / proof-based / repair-ready);
  brand decision is Aaron's (M4).
- What this README is NOT (not product, not commitment, not
  public brand, not alignment-solved, not exhaustive).
- Open follow-ups: §33 enforcement flip, M4 brand package,
  cross-repo integration with LFG/lucent-ksk.

Self-applies §33 archive-header format (Scope / Attribution
/ Operational status / Non-fusion disclaimer) — sixth
aurora/research doc to exercise the convention.

Max attribution preserved (first-name-only, non-PII per
Aaron's clearance) for KSK design + development-guide work
on LFG/lucent-ksk.

Lands within-standing-authority per Otto-82 calibration —
research-grade README, not account/spending/named-design-

Key observations:
1. Split-attention at 5x still held proportionate.
2. CC-002 continued — Artifact A closed, 7 other derived rows

3. Primary-dispatches-other-async is subtler than peer-harness.

Fixes two scope-limit errors in the Otto-78 refinement to the
Codex-first-class BACKLOG row (PR #236, not yet merged, still
open auto-merge).

Aaron Otto-79 message 1 (correction on dispatch):
"you do dispatch codex work, i will just switch whenver i
feel like it once it's ready, i'll just go back and fourth
from time to time probably when new models come out, you guys
need to know when one is primary based on the harness im in
and just do the right things so it's not an issue when you
launch in tandem/async with you. I won't launch both of you
at the same unless i say, this is a future test to see if
you can run indenpendenty without interference, but for now
one of your will be the corrdinator at a time based on the
harness i'm in."

Aaron Otto-79 message 2 (cross-review-not-cross-edit):
"yall should review each other and ask questions to better
understand eachs others harness form the inside to improve
our cross harness support."

Corrections:

1. "Otto doesn't dispatch Codex work unilaterally" → Otto
   DOES dispatch Codex async work. The primary coordinates;
   Aaron-harness-context determines the primary.

2. Added explicit tandem/simultaneous-launch scope-limit —
   out-of-scope today, future test, explicit Aaron opt-in
   required.

3. Cross-edit stays forbidden, cross-review + cross-question
   explicitly encouraged. Distinction is edit-not vs read-
   and-comment-yes (peer review shape, not isolation).

Preserves signal-in-signal-out — all three Aaron quotes

Otto-79 tick split-attention correction alongside Artifact A
(PR #238) and password-storage BACKLOG (pending).
AceHack added a commit that referenced this pull request Apr 24, 2026
…aron refinement burst absorbed

Otto-79 shipped 3 PRs across the tick: #238 drift-taxonomy
promotion (primary, Amara 5th-ferry Artifact A), #236 Otto-79
continuing refinements (3 amendments to already-open PR), #239
P3 agent-email password-storage.

5-message Aaron directive burst absorbed:
1. Otto DOES dispatch Codex async work (correction).
2. Cross-harness review+questions yes, edits no.
3. Peer-harness = aspirational-future with 3-stage progression.
4. Each harness owns its own named loop agent.
5. BACKLOG-split status check (no rush, noted).

Memory file captures the burst for cold-load discovery.

Key observations:
1. Split-attention at 5x still held proportionate.
2. CC-002 continued — Artifact A closed, 7 other derived rows
   queued for later ticks.
3. Primary-dispatches-other-async is subtler than peer-harness.
4. Loop-agent-names-itself composes with agent-email-ownership
   into a "named agents are first-class identities" design
   invariant.

Stacked on #237 (Otto-78 history); rebases cleanly.

…message clarification)

Fixes two scope-limit errors in the Otto-78 refinement to the
Codex-first-class BACKLOG row (PR #236, not yet merged, still
open auto-merge).

Aaron Otto-79 message 1 (correction on dispatch):
"you do dispatch codex work, i will just switch whenver i
feel like it once it's ready, i'll just go back and fourth
from time to time probably when new models come out, you guys
need to know when one is primary based on the harness im in
and just do the right things so it's not an issue when you
launch in tandem/async with you. I won't launch both of you
at the same unless i say, this is a future test to see if
you can run indenpendenty without interference, but for now
one of your will be the corrdinator at a time based on the
harness i'm in."

Aaron Otto-79 message 2 (cross-review-not-cross-edit):
"yall should review each other and ask questions to better
understand eachs others harness form the inside to improve
our cross harness support."

Corrections:

1. "Otto doesn't dispatch Codex work unilaterally" → Otto
   DOES dispatch Codex async work. The primary coordinates;
   Aaron-harness-context determines the primary.

2. Added explicit tandem/simultaneous-launch scope-limit —
   out-of-scope today, future test, explicit Aaron opt-in
   required.

3. Cross-edit stays forbidden, cross-review + cross-question
   explicitly encouraged. Distinction is edit-not vs read-
   and-comment-yes (peer review shape, not isolation).
