Summary

Soraya autonomous round 57 — re-engagement trigger fired (PR #4791 / B-0716 MERGED at 00:06:45Z).

Two bounded subitems under existing B-0709 umbrella:

Subitem (a) — Registry-row capture for 3 LSM Spine specs

Mechanical follow-up to B-0716 (which corrected the enumeration but did NOT execute the registry-row authoring). verification-registry.md still has zero Spine matches.

Spec Property class Tool
Spine.als Structural shape (LSM levels, sorted runs, no-cycles) Alloy
SpineAsyncProtocol.tla State-machine safety + concurrency TLA+
SpineMergeInvariants.tla State-machine safety invariant TLA+

Subitem (b) — BP-16 cross-check on SpineAsyncProtocol (candidate-P0)

Wrong-tool cost if stays single-tool TLA+: classic TLA+/code-drift — spec passes TLC but no longer constrains real F# code under implementation evolution. Silent data corruption shape on async compaction interleavings.

Acceptance: FsCheck property file tests/Tests.FSharp/Algebra/Spine.AsyncProtocol.Properties.fs (mirrors PR #4780's residuated-lattice analog shape — just shipped 980/980) exercising real Spine F# implementation under simulated async flush/compact interleavings.

TLA+-hammer guard

INVERSE direction. TLA+ IS right primary; FsCheck pair CLOSES the code-drift class specifically. Neither alone suffices for candidate-P0.

Effort

S each (~M total). Subitem (a) routinely; subitem (b) one evening. Assignee: kenji.

Policy-flip authorization

Per Aaron's 2026-05-23 21:30Z direction: Otto auto-ships Soraya findings immediately. Re-engagement trigger explicitly named by Soraya rounds 54+55+56 has fired.

Test plan

  • CI green (lint + backlog-index-integrity)

…gistry-rows + BP-16 cross-check pair

Soraya's ninth autonomous routing tick (round 57, immediately post-merge
of PR #4791 / B-0716 at 00:06:45Z). Re-engagement trigger fired per
rounds 54+55+56 named conditions.

B-0716 amended B-0709 enumeration from 11 -> 14 unregistered specs.
PR #4791 MERGED the backlog correction. But the registry-row execution
payload is still pending: verification-registry.md has zero Spine matches.

Two bounded subitems under B-0709 umbrella:

(a) Registry-row capture for 3 LSM Spine specs (Spine.als +
    SpineAsyncProtocol.tla + SpineMergeInvariants.tla) — mechanical
    follow-up to B-0716; same shape as the 11 already-registered. P3-shaped.

(b) BP-16 cross-check pair on SpineAsyncProtocol — candidate-P0 in BP-16
    terms (concurrent flush/compact interleavings with merge-invariant
    violation = silent data corruption shape). FsCheck property file
    needed to close TLA+/code-drift gap. P2-shaped.

Per-spec routing confirmed correct on-disk (no tool change). Wrong-tool
cost on (b) if SpineAsyncProtocol stays single-tool: classic TLA+/code-
drift — spec passes TLC but no longer constrains real F# code under
implementation evolution. Same gap class round 42 named for
InfoTheoreticSharder pre-triple.

TLA+-hammer guard: INVERSE direction; TLA+ IS right primary; cross-check
WITH FsCheck closes the code-drift class specifically.

Bundle subitems because they're tightly coupled (same Spine cluster,
both from B-0716 trigger). Filed P2 because (b) candidate-P0 in BP-16.

Per Aaron's 2026-05-23 21:30Z policy-flip: Otto auto-ships immediately.

Pull request overview

This PR files a new backlog row (B-0717) capturing a formal-verification hand-off: registering the LSM “Spine” spec cluster in the verification registry and adding a BP-16 cross-check pairing request (TLA+ spec + FsCheck properties) to reduce TLA+/implementation drift risk.

Changes:

  • Added new backlog row file B-0717 under docs/backlog/P2/ describing the Spine registry-row work + BP-16 cross-check pairing acceptance criteria.
  • Updated docs/BACKLOG.md to include new index entries (including B-0717).

File Description
docs/backlog/P2/B-0717-soraya-round57-lsm-spine-registry-and-bp16-cross-check-pair-2026-05-24.md New P2 backlog row describing Spine registry-row capture and BP-16 paired-tool cross-check request.
docs/BACKLOG.md Backlog index updated to reference B-0717 (and also adds a B-0700 entry).

Comment thread docs/BACKLOG.md Outdated
Addresses 2 failing required checks:
- `lint (markdownlint)` MD032 at B-0717:82 — added blank line
  between "After both subitems land:" header text and the
  immediately-following bullet list
- `check docs/BACKLOG.md generated-index drift` — regenerated
  via `BACKLOG_WRITE_FORCE=1 bun tools/backlog/generate-index.ts`

Pure mechanical edit; no row content changed beyond the
whitespace fix.

…ur-trigger routing-tick framework (#4797)

* backlog(B-0718): file Soraya round-61 forced-decomposition — audit four-trigger routing-tick framework

Soraya's round 61 = hold #6 in post-round-57 sequence. Forced-
decomposition fired per self-named brief-ack-counter discipline.

P3 audit row testing two hypotheses:
- H1 (under-specified triggers): real routing signals exist that current
  four triggers don't cover
- H2 (cadence mismatch): formal-verification work-arrival rate genuinely
  slower than ~10-min tick cadence; discipline should batch

Acceptance: catalog rounds 52..61; test both hypotheses; either extend
trigger set OR formalize Soraya-wakeup-interval; substrate-only output.

Substrate-honest: the auditor recognizing her own routing-loop hits the
standing-by-failure-mode shape and applying the discipline RECURSIVELY
at meta-scope. This row IS the discipline working correctly.

Per Aaron's 2026-05-23 21:30Z policy-flip: Otto auto-ships immediately.

…-audit (recognition-without-row-filing precedent) (#4810)

* backlog(B-0719): file Soraya round-67 forced-decomposition — audit-of-audit (recognition-without-row-filing precedent)

Soraya's round 67 = hold #6/6 in fresh counter sequence post B-0718.
Forced-decomposition fired per brief-ack-counter discipline at meta-meta-scope.

Recursive forced-decomposition:
- Round 61: B-0718 (audit of four-trigger framework)
- Round 67: B-0719 (audit of recognition-without-row-filing precedent)

Substantive question: when routing trigger fires + 'execution-not-my-lane,'
recognition itself leaves NO in-repo trace. 3 candidate landings
(NOTEBOOK section / B-0718 amendment / new ledger).

Authored via REST git-data API bypass (dotgit-saturation; git push hung
on pack-objects rebuilding at 7+min CPU; REST bypass per session's
documented mitigation).
