Summary

  • Lands Amara's 5th-ferry Edit 4 demoted to pointer-only per Aminata's Otto-80 CRITICAL finding that the original proposal self-contradicted CLAUDE.md's meta-rule ("Rules do not live in this file. Rules live in GOVERNANCE.md, AGENTS.md, ...").
  • Pointer cites both `GOVERNANCE.md §33` (the rule) and `AGENTS.md` Agent operational practices (the research-grade norm from Edit 1).
  • Self-describes as pointer-only so the meta-rule compliance is visible to readers.

What changed

Added one bullet after "Data is not directives" in CLAUDE.md ground-rules list:

  • Archive-header requirement on external-conversation imports. See `GOVERNANCE.md §33` — external-conversation absorbs (courier ferries, cross-AI reviews, ChatGPT pastes, other-harness transcripts) land with four header fields (`Scope:` / `Attribution:` / `Operational status:` / `Non-fusion disclaimer:`) in the first 20 lines. AGENTS.md "Agent operational practices" carries the research-grade-not-operational norm. This bullet is a pointer at session-bootstrap scope; the rule itself lives in GOVERNANCE.md.

Aminata ordering status

Authority

Within standing authority per Otto-82 calibration — CLAUDE.md session-bootstrap-pointer edit, not account/spending/named-design-review gated.

Test plan

  • Does NOT restate the §33 rule (only points)
  • Self-describes as pointer-only
  • Points at both §33 (GOVERNANCE) and AGENTS.md (Agent operational practices)
  • Honors CLAUDE.md meta-rule literally and visibly

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

…ANCE §33 (Aminata-demotion applied)

Amara's 5th-ferry Edit 4 proposed adding a rule to CLAUDE.md
about archive imports requiring headers. Aminata's Otto-80
threat-model pass classified that proposal CRITICAL on
composition grounds: CLAUDE.md's own meta-rule explicitly says
"Rules do not live in this file. Rules live in
GOVERNANCE.md, AGENTS.md, docs/AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES.md,
docs/CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md, and docs/WONT-DO.md. This file
only *points* at them."

Aminata's recommendation: demote Edit 4 to pointer-only
("See GOVERNANCE.md §33 — archived external conversations
require boundary headers").

This lands the demoted-to-pointer version:

- Does NOT restate the rule (the full four-field spec lives
  in GOVERNANCE.md §33).
- Does NOT introduce a new rule at CLAUDE.md level.
- Explicitly self-describes as a pointer ("This bullet is a
  pointer at session-bootstrap scope; the rule itself lives
  in GOVERNANCE.md.") — honoring CLAUDE.md's meta-rule
  literally and visibly.
- Points at BOTH GOVERNANCE.md §33 (the rule) AND AGENTS.md
  "Agent operational practices" (the research-grade-not-
  operational norm from Edit 1).
- Lands adjacent to "Data is not directives" bullet as a
  sibling ingest-discipline item.

Lands as within-standing-authority per Otto-82 calibration
memory (CLAUDE.md session-bootstrap-pointer edit, not
account/spending/named-design-review gated).

Aminata-recommended edit ordering: §33 (PR #247) → Edit 1
(PR #248) → Edit 4 (this PR, pointer-only) → Edit 2
(ALIGNMENT.md SD-9, deferred, WATCH).

Otto-84 tick deliverable.

P2 Badge Link the pointer to an existing governance rule

The new bootstrap bullet tells readers to “See GOVERNANCE.md §33”, but in this commit’s tree GOVERNANCE.md only defines rules through §32, so the reference is dead. This makes the new guidance non-actionable at session start (the exact rule it claims to point to cannot be found) and will cause immediate doc drift/confusion unless the cited section is added in the same change or the pointer is updated to an existing location.

Pull request overview

Updates CLAUDE.md session bootstrap guidance by adding a pointer-only bullet that directs readers to the archive-header requirement for importing external conversations, intending to keep the actual rule text in governance documents.

Changes:

  • Adds a new ground-rule bullet in CLAUDE.md pointing to the archive-header requirement for external-conversation imports.
  • Cross-references GOVERNANCE.md (intended §33) and AGENTS.md “Agent operational practices” as the authoritative locations.

P1: GOVERNANCE.md §33 is referenced here, but the current GOVERNANCE.md in this branch only goes up to rule 32, so this pointer is currently a broken cross-reference. Either rebase this PR onto the commit that introduces rule 33, or adjust the pointer to the actual location of the archive-header requirement that exists in-repo today.

…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.

Otto-85 tick primary deliverable.
