From 1e9f8eebb69f8492358abdba10f9fb2632a08c87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Stainback Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 10:00:18 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] feat(b-0037.3): wire 6 meta-cognition measurables into ALIGNMENT.md + close row #2-Ready pickup: B-0037.3's classification:blocked stale because B-0037.1 (dep) merged via PR #3859 and B-0037.2 (sibling) merged via PR #3888 earlier this session. Deliverable: docs/ALIGNMENT.md "Per-round metrics" subsection appended with all 6 measurables from B-0037.1 taxonomy: - self-corrections-per-round (concrete grep) - overclaim-self-tags-per-round (concrete grep) - revision-blocks-per-round (concrete grep) - decohere-star-self-detected-events-count (concrete grep) - meta-check-execution-rate (honestly labelled not-yet-automated) - meta-drift-detection-lag-rounds (honestly labelled not-yet-automated) All 4 acceptance criteria met (6 measurables; 4/6 with concrete grep; pure additive subsection; pure doc addition). Pure-git tier (GraphQL 337); PR creation deferred to post-reset.
