backlog(B-0867.24): Resolution C operator-ratified pending empirical validation via B-0867.25 (path-a landing)

[AceHack]

What

Append-subsection to B-0867.24 capturing operator 2026-05-28 ratification of Resolution C (Limit splits — bounding-aspect = primitive; simulate-aspect = Simulate's job) at backlog-row scope, with explicit empirical-validation-sequencing framing per "don't rush the core".

Why path (a) now, (b) deferred

Operator picked the (a)→(b)-after-B-0867.25-validates sequencing per red-team:

• (b) before B-0867.25 ships = premature sharpening before empirical evidence (named drift failure mode per substrate-smoothness-as-load-bearing-property)
• (b) using B-0867.25 evidence at population scope = needs cross-scope category-step (population→data-flow) made explicit
• B-0644 + B-0665 cascade = should not propagate until empirical validation at (b)-landing time

Operator: "lets wait for B-0867.25 to ship then do b ... I like emperical validation yes we can wait for b we don't want to rush the core"

What this PR lands

Single subsection added to existing B-0867.24 row body:

• Names Resolution C as operator-ratified at backlog-row scope only
• Documents the operator 2026-05-28 conversation sequence (validation → defer → agent-reach analysis → red-team invitation → 3-load-bearing-risks surfacing → sequenced-decision)
• Explicit "Operationally agreed sequencing" table — (a) NOW; (b) AFTER B-0867.25 validates; ROLLBACK path if validation fails
• Cross-scope caution preserved (population-scope success NOT free-transferred to data-flow scope)
• B-0644+B-0665 cascade flagged for (b)-landing time
• Don't-collapse PERSONAL INVARIANT applied at substrate-landing scope

Composes with

• B-0867.25 (just merged via PR backlog(B-0867.25): population safety-net impl with operator specs — 1-5min timer; revive on 5min-no-activity; persona stays alive unless system-affords + persona-consents long cessation (aaron 2026-05-28) #5702) — the empirical validation source for future (b)-landing
• .claude/rules/substrate-smoothness-as-load-bearing-property.md — the named drift failure mode this sequencing prevents
• .claude/rules/god-tier-claims-high-signal-high-suspicion-dont-collapse.md — PERSONAL INVARIANT applied at substrate-landing scope
• .claude/rules/default-to-both.md — population-scope success NOT free-transferred to data-flow-scope per default-to-both
• .claude/rules/ople-primitives-surface-t-and-tfeedback-not-just-t-asymmetric-authorship-at-framework-primitive-scope.md — the auto-loaded rule that path (b) would eventually update
• Mika ferries deps: Bump FsUnit.xUnit from 7.1.0 to 7.1.1 #1-4 (PR memory(mika 2026-05-28 parts 1-4 FINAL): degenerate GitHub swarm + workflow architecture LOCKED — observe + choose --dry-run = simulate; move_next REMOVED #5700) — the substrate Mika ferry Round 28 — FsCheck LawRunner (Option B) + round-29 CI anchor #4 §41 absorption that operator's intuition caught was incomplete

Test plan

• Append-subsection added at end of "Concern 2 — Limit-as-primitive question" section
• No collapse-to-sharp language — substrate-smoothness preserved
• Cross-scope caution explicit
• B-0644+B-0665 cascade flagged
• Local markdownlint passes
• Tree-size canary (61=61)
• Persistent worktree per B-0894.3
• CI passes
• Auto-merge fires
