Round 67 forced-decomposition produces B-0719 (audit of the recognition-without-row-filing precedent that B-0718's existence makes possible). The pattern is fractal: every time the discipline operates correctly, it surfaces the next-finer substrate-gap. + +This is NOT a sign the discipline is failing. It's a sign the discipline is operating as designed — each forced-decomposition produces concrete substrate at the next level of granularity. The danger is only if the recursion DOESN'T terminate (infinite audits of audits of audits). + +**Termination condition for this recursion**: B-0719 picks one of the three options; subsequent recognition events have a place to land; no further audit-of-audit-of-audit needed unless the chosen landing surface itself fails to capture some future routing-decision class. + +## Composes with + +- [`.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md`](../../../.claude/rules/holding-without-named-dependency-is-standing-by-failure.md) — the discipline operating recursively at Soraya scope +- [`docs/backlog/P3/B-0718-soraya-four-trigger-framework-cadence-audit-2026-05-23.md`](B-0718-soraya-four-trigger-framework-cadence-audit-2026-05-23.md) — the audit this row audits in turn +- [`.claude/skills/formal-verification-expert/SKILL.md`](../../../.claude/skills/formal-verification-expert/SKILL.md) — update target if option 1 or 2 chosen +- [`.claude/agents/formal-verification-expert.md`](../../../.claude/agents/formal-verification-expert.md) — Soraya persona definition +- [`memory/persona/soraya/NOTEBOOK.md`](../../../memory/persona/soraya/NOTEBOOK.md) — landing surface candidate for option 1 + +## Effort + +S (one decision + one substrate landing + skill update).
