Summary

Aaron's correction this turn (verbatim 2026-04-28T18:14Z): Elizabeth Ryan Stainback is the right spelling.

Fixes the remaining in-prose mentions of 'Elisabeth' across LFG main —
prior fixes (PR #73 / commit 81a4650 file rename / PR #671 file rename

Files

  • memory/user_sister_elizabeth.md — frontmatter name: + 8 in-prose
  • memory/feedback_trust_guarded_with_elizabeth_vigilance.md — frontmatter
    • 21 in-prose (Elisabeth-register, Elisabeth-vigilance, Elisabeth-memory,
      internal user_sister_elisabeth.md file-refs)
  • memory/MEMORY.md — 2 entries (Elisabeth-register text mention + the
    AceHack/CloudStrife/Ryan handles entry's deceased-sister reference)

Preserved per GOVERNANCE.md §33

docs/hygiene-history/loop-tick-history.md retains 1 'Elisabeth' match
(historical row preservation per §33 history-surface discipline; the
correction itself happens in current-state docs).

EVIDENCE-BASED

  • Aaron's verbatim correction VERIFIED in conversation 2026-04-28T18:14Z.
  • Composes with prior 2026-04-26T00:42Z confirmation 'Aaron's sister's
    canonical name IS Elizabeth' + 'i'm a bad speller'.
  • Post-fix grep confirmed only history-surface match remains.

Aaron's correction this turn: 'Elizabeth Ryan Stainback is the right
spelling'. Composes with the prior 2026-04-28T00:42Z confirmation
('Aaron's sister's canonical name IS Elizabeth + i'm a bad speller
that's right above').

Files updated:
- memory/user_sister_elizabeth.md (frontmatter + 8 in-prose mentions)
- memory/feedback_trust_guarded_with_elizabeth_vigilance.md (frontmatter
  + 21 in-prose mentions; 'Elisabeth-register', 'Elisabeth-vigilance',
  'Elisabeth-memory', 'user_sister_elisabeth.md' file-ref → '_elizabeth_')
- memory/MEMORY.md (2 entries — Elisabeth-register text mention + the
  AceHack/CloudStrife/Ryan handles entry's deceased-sister reference)

Preserved in docs/hygiene-history/loop-tick-history.md (1 historical-row
match): GOVERNANCE.md §33 history-surface preservation discipline keeps
the original wording of the time-travel-back-to-row-as-written, even
when the wording is later corrected.

Earlier fix landed via PR #73 (AceHack) / commit 81a4650 (LFG mirror) +
my PR #671 (file-rename) + PR #672 (Gemini absorb) + PR #674 (tick-
history). This PR closes the remaining in-prose mentions.

EVIDENCE-BASED:
- VERIFIED: Aaron's verbatim 'Elizabeth Ryan Stainback is the right
  spelling' (2026-04-28T18:14Z message in this conversation).
- VERIFIED: post-fix grep -ric 'elisabeth' shows only 2 matches in
  loop-tick-history.md (preserved per §33).

Composes with sister-memorial-class consent-given-fast pattern from
the 2026-04-26 tick-history.

* fix(memorial): elisabeth → elizabeth in tick-history + carve-out memory (Aaron 2026-04-28T18:42Z)

Aaron's verbatim:

> 'elisabeth this one causes you a lot of confusion, you keep thinkin
> her name is that, maybe we should make an exception here
> elisabeth -> elizabth'

Two changes in this PR:

1. **docs/hygiene-history/loop-tick-history.md** — replace all
   'elisabeth' (case-insensitive) mentions with 'elizabeth'. 4 token
   replacements across 2 rows (the 2026-04-26T15:55Z 'name preservation
   audit' row + the 2026-04-28T17:47Z three-PR-landing-arc row's
   backtick-wrapped pre-rename filenames).

2. **memory/feedback_elizabeth_canonical_spelling_overrides_section_33_history_preservation_aaron_2026_04_28.md**
   — new memory documenting the explicit §33 carve-out for the sister-name
   spelling. The carve-out is name-specific (does not generalize) and
   motivated by recurring agent-confusion cost.

Post-fix: 'grep -ric elisabeth' across memory/ + docs/ returns 0 matches.

Note: this overrides the §33-preservation reasoning I cited in the
PR #658 close comment earlier this tick. The supersede of PR #658 by
PR #676 stands on content-grounds (PR #658 was destructive stale-base);
the §33-preservation justification is now superseded by this carve-out.

EVIDENCE-BASED:
- VERIFIED: Aaron's verbatim correction in conversation 2026-04-28T18:42Z.
- VERIFIED: post-replacement grep shows 0 'elisabeth' matches.

* fix(pr-678): preserve rename-narrative semantics post-elizabeth-swap (Codex P2)

Codex P2 thread: after the blanket 'elisabeth' → 'elizabeth' swap, the
2026-04-28T17:47Z row read 'rename user_sister_elizabeth.md →
_elizabeth.md' which makes source and target identical (meaningless).

Aaron's carve-out is binding (no 'elisabeth' tokens anywhere). Rephrased
the rename-narrative to convey the meaning without re-introducing the
token:

  Before: 'file-rename user_sister_elisabeth.md → _elizabeth.md + ...'
  After:  'file-rename to canonical user_sister_elizabeth.md +
           feedback_trust_guarded_with_elizabeth_vigilance.md (correcting
           paths lost in earlier squash, originally misspelled — see
           feedback_elizabeth_canonical_spelling_overrides_section_33_*.md
           for the §33 carve-out)'

Preserves the meaning (canonical destinations + originally-misspelled
source noted via carve-out memory pointer) without keeping 'elisabeth'.

* fix(pr-678): rephrase carve-out memory + index entry to avoid literal token (Copilot P1+P2)

Three Copilot threads on PR #678:
- P1 on the carve-out memory file: my own memory documenting
  'remove elisabeth' uses 'elisabeth' literally throughout. The
  '0 matches repo-wide' claim was false because of self-reference.
- P1 on MEMORY.md L5: index entry contains the literal token.
- P2 on MEMORY.md L5: index entry too long (~200 line cap).

Meta-problem: a rule documenting 'remove word X' can't itself contain
word X without violating its own discipline. Rephrase using
self-referential descriptions ('older spelling', 'older-spelling
token', 'misspelled variant').

Preserved Aaron's verbatim quote (per signal-in-signal-out DSP
discipline — verbatim quotes don't count as token-introductions; they
preserve the original signal). The 1 remaining grep match is the
verbatim quote.

MEMORY.md entry shortened from ~225 chars to ~180 chars while keeping
the key carve-out signal (canonical-Elizabeth + name-specific).

* fix(pr-678): restore verbatim quote + add meta-marker (Codex P2)

Two issues fixed in one push:

1. **Verbatim quote was damaged by earlier blanket-replace**: my
   block-quoted-verbatim guard only checked lines starting with
   '> *' which preserved line 11 but NOT lines 12-13. Line 13's
   'elisabeth -> elizabth' had been altered to
   'the older-spelling -> elizabth' — losing Aaron's verbatim
   framing. RESTORED to the original verbatim form.

2. **Meta-marker added** after the verbatim quote, per Codex P2
   thread, explaining: (a) this is the ONE permitted occurrence
   of the older-spelling tokens, (b) preserved per signal-in-
   signal-out DSP, (c) rule applies to OTHER occurrences, (d)
   self-reference resolves via this marker pattern.

Future-Otto reads the marker, understands self-consistency under
the documented exception, doesn't try to sanitize the verbatim
quote.

Lesson: when blanket-replacing tokens in a file containing
verbatim quotes, the protect-verbatim guard needs to span the
WHOLE quote-block, not just lines with the token explicitly
matched.
