…rce mechanism EVIDENCE-BASED resolution of the earlier "Open question (deferred)" section. The org-level-inheritance / paths-ignore / ingestion-flag suspects were all speculation; the actual mechanism (verbatim from the umbrella check's details URL) is a workflow-matrix-vs-main- analyses mismatch caused by the `codeql.yml` matrix dropping java-kotlin while main carried java-kotlin analyses from default- setup + our path-gate. Replaces the deferred-investigation framing with the resolved mechanism + the structural fix (PR #662) + the deeper cause ("runtime dependencies must be honestly declared on every surface that touches them"). AceHack-vs-LFG asymmetry now flagged as SPECULATION (likely sampling artifact, not structural difference) with the disconfirming-query named. Closes the loop on the speculation rule the same memory was co-authored to teach. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…e-hard-reset safety)
EVIDENCE-BASED scope: 63 files exist on AceHack main but not on LFG
main. Hard-resetting AceHack to LFG main (the 0/0/0 protocol final
step) would destroy this content unless forward-synced first.
Cross-verified by Otto + Grok (Otto-347 second-CLI discipline) on
2026-04-28T15:05Z; both independently classified the 63 files as
substrate-load-bearing and the hard-reset as UNSAFE without this
sync.
File breakdown:
- 24 memory/feedback_*.md — today's discipline substrate (Otto-355 /
Otto-356 / Otto-359 / codeql-umbrella detection / bulk-resolve /
manufactured-patience / kiro-cli / no-trailing-questions / mirror-
beacon language / etc.)
- 13 docs/research/*.md — Amara ferries 9-12, EAT packet, wallet-
experiment v0 spec, live-lock five-class taxonomy, memory-md
harness contract, Zeta-equals-heaven-on-earth writeup, action-mode
classification, three-agent-consensus + parser-is-witness
- 9 docs/backlog/{P0,P1,P2}/B-006*-007*.md — wallet v0 punch list,
LFG csharp Code Scanning cleanup, human-lineage external-anchor
backfill, monolith-to-per-row migration, streamed-installer
pattern, GitHub Playwright integration, peer-call kiro + cold-boot,
memory-md marker vs index harness, cadenced git hotspot detection,
local-AI ollama, heredoc patterns, orphan role-ref detector,
Otto-275-FOREVER rename, MEMORY.md index entry length, PR #72
punch-list sweep
- 1 docs/DECISIONS/2026-04-26-sync-drain-plan-acehack-lfg-roundtrip-
option-c.md — the ADR documenting this very protocol
- 4 tools/peer-call/* — README + codex.sh + gemini.sh (sibling of
the existing grok.sh on LFG); rounds out the multi-harness peer-
call set per task #303
- 2 tools/hygiene/audit-*.sh — AgencySignature main-tip auditor +
memory-index duplicate auditor
- 2 .github/workflows/{budget-snapshot-cadence,memory-index-
duplicate-lint}.yml — scheduled CI cadence (task #297) +
duplicate-index linter
- 1 tools/setup/common/curl-fetch.sh — install hardening helper
- And 7 more memory/research files in similar categories
Composes with:
- The cross-verified Otto+Grok finding 2026-04-28T15:05Z
- PR #662 (the codeql java-honesty fix; this PR forwards #662's
base-content, but #662's edit lands separately)
- Aaron's 0-divergence invariant — this PR is the prerequisite
for the AceHack-main hard-reset that closes the protocol round
- task #284 (the prior AceHack→LFG forward-sync option-c work)
Post-merge double-check: dispatch a different peer-CLI (codex this
time) to re-run `git diff acehack/main..origin/main --diff-filter=D`
on freshly-fetched refs and confirm the AceHack-only set is empty
(modulo files newly landed on AceHack between this PR and the
double-check).

…tlin matrix + scan tools/alloy/AlloyRunner.java
EVIDENCE-BASED: the codeql.yml workflow dropped the java-kotlin matrix
cell based on the wrong assumption "no Java/Kotlin source." Empirical
state: tools/alloy/AlloyRunner.java is first-party Java (a headless
JVM driver that runs Alloy specs from .NET), and the OpenJDK runtime
is already a managed dependency pinned via .mise.toml + installed by
tools/setup/install.sh on dev laptops, devcontainers, and CI runners.
Evidence:
- find . -name '*.java' → tools/alloy/AlloyRunner.java (first-party)
- .mise.toml:24 → java = "26" (round-34 migration off brew/apt)
- tools/setup/manifests/{apt,brew} comments confirm round-34 migration
- tools/setup/common/verifiers.sh requires `command -v java`
- gh api .../check-runs/73401083160 → umbrella `CodeQL` NEUTRAL with
"1 configuration present on `refs/heads/main` was not found:
codeql.yml /language:java-kotlin" — the ruleset rule
`code_quality:severity=all` reads umbrella NEUTRAL as "results
pending" and gates LFG PRs (LFG #661 today)
Changes:
- .github/workflows/codeql.yml: add `java-kotlin` matrix cell with
`build-mode: none` (single-file, no Maven/Gradle); update header
doc to reflect honest state; add `*.java` to path-gate code-changed
patterns
- .github/codeql/codeql-config.yml: remove `tools/alloy/**` from
paths-ignore so the java-kotlin extractor actually scans
AlloyRunner.java (otherwise the matrix cell finds zero sources
and uploads empty SARIF — would satisfy the umbrella check but
still pretend we don't use Java for security purposes)
Why both edits compose: paths-ignore wins over paths on overlap; with
tools/alloy/** in the ignore list, adding java-kotlin to the matrix
would be cosmetic. The honest representation Aaron asked for ("we use
it and we act like we don't") requires both.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * sync(acehack→lfg): paired-edit MEMORY.md + markdownlint-cli2 carve-out for verbatim ferries Two CI failures on PR #663 caused by the pure-additive scope: 1. memory/MEMORY.md paired-edit + duplicate-link checks failed: 24 memory files added without index entries pointing at them. Fix: merge AceHack-only index entries (23 unique) into LFG's MEMORY.md while preserving LFG-only entries (7: block-on-Aaron, Windows CI peer-mode trajectory, CI cadence split, etc.). Set diff confirmed via Python script — order preserved, no LFG entries dropped. 2. lint (markdownlint) failed on 3 docs/research/2026-04-26-*.md + 2026-04-28-zeta-equals-heaven-on-earth*.md files (MD027 multiple spaces after blockquote, MD032 lists not surrounded by blank lines). These files are verbatim courier-ferry preservations (per Otto-227 signal-in-signal-out discipline — reformatting would alter ferry content). AceHack already broadened the markdownlint-cli2 carve-out to exempt `docs/research/2026-*-*.md` from these rules; LFG was still on the older Amara-only pattern. Fix: pull AceHack's broader carve-out config. Both edits are within the spirit of the pure-additive forward-sync: they're the index/config that point at or accommodate the 63 already-added files. Without them, the paired-edit + lint rules correctly block merge. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(memory-index): dedup MEMORY.md by link target — clear all 14 duplicates The duplicate-link-targets workflow check on PR #663 was failing because: 1. My initial merge created 3 new duplicates where the same memory file had entries on both AceHack and LFG with slightly different surrounding text. Set-diff by exact-line match missed them; need target-based dedup keyed on the .md filename inside `](...)`. 2. LFG's MEMORY.md already had ~11 pre-existing duplicates using non-bold bullet syntax (`- [Title](file.md)` rather than `- [**Title**](file.md)`). The duplicate-link workflow only fires on PRs that touch memory/MEMORY.md, so the pre-existing dups had been silent — surfaced now because this PR touches it. EVIDENCE-BASED audit: Before: 649 bullets, 635 unique targets, 14 duplicates After: 640 bullets, 635 unique targets, 0 duplicates `tools/hygiene/audit-memory-index-duplicates.sh --enforce` clean. Strategy: keep the FIRST occurrence (newest-first ordering invariant per the audit script's expectation), drop later duplicates. Both `**bold**` and bare-bullet forms covered.

Fix: extend the case to *.java|*.kt|*.kts|*.scala|*.sc and rename the comment from "Java surface" to "JVM surface." Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…solved-mechanism modification The memory-paired-edit CI check requires MEMORY.md be touched when memory/* changes, even for modifications (not just additions). My PR #668 modified two memory files without touching MEMORY.md. Updated the codeql-detection entry to mark the mechanism as RESOLVED 2026-04-28T14:32Z with pointer to PR #662 for the structural fix. The speculation-rule entry doesn't change since its content didn't materially change (just a cross-ref fix to Otto-358). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…odex P2 follow-up) (#668) * substrate(memory-cross-refs): fix Otto-352→Otto-358 ref + apply resolved-mechanism to codeql-detection memory Two follow-up fixes from Codex P2 review on PR #665 (post-merge): 1. memory/feedback_speculation_leads_investigation_not_defines_root_cause_aaron_2026_04_28.md — composes-with referenced `feedback_otto_352_live_lock_term_split_three_distinct_classes_2026_04_26.md` which doesn't exist on main. The same content lives at `feedback_otto_358_live_lock_too_broad_catch_all_narrow_to_cs_standard_concurrent_state_thrashing_2026_04_27.md` (Aaron's correction renamed the live-lock-narrowing memo; both the speculation memo and Otto-358 reference the missing 352 file per repo grep). Updated the cross-ref to point at the existing file. 2. memory/feedback_codeql_umbrella_neutral_vs_per_language_detection_pattern_aaron_2026_04_28.md — replaces the speculative "Open question (deferred)" section with the EVIDENCE-BASED resolved-mechanism from primary-source query (umbrella check's own details URL: "1 configuration present on refs/heads/main was not found: codeql.yml /language:java-kotlin"). Originally a deferred follow-up after PR #663 merged; now applied. Includes the structural fix landed via PR #662 (merged 2026-04-28T16:22:42Z) for full mechanism + remediation trail. Composes with PR #663 (codeql-detection memory original landing) + PR #665 (speculation rule original landing) + PR #662 (the structural fix).
