Three substrate landings from this autonomous-loop arc closing the substrate-discipline meta-loop. (1) Advisory Enforcement Workflow Gap class — Amara naming after paired-edit lint failed on PR #688/#689 but both auto-merged. (2) Class-Naming Ferry Protocol meta-class — Otto observe → Aaron forward → Amara review → encode genre, with SD-9 guardrail LOAD-BEARING (Aaron reinforced 'she is 100% right here' on the halo-effect failure mode). (3) B-0088 P2 — maintainer-call between A promote-to-required vs B downgrade-claim-to-advisory. No code-surface changes.

…ing Ferry Protocol with SD-9 guardrail + B-0088

Three substrate landings from this autonomous-loop arc closing
the substrate-discipline meta-loop:

1. Advisory Enforcement Workflow Gap class (Amara 2026-04-28T20:24Z):
   memory/feedback_advisory_enforcement_workflow_gap_amara_class_name_otto_2026_04_28.md.
   Definition: workflow claims/implies enforcement but is not
   in required-status-checks set; failures observable but
   non-blocking. Worked example: paired-edit lint failed on
   #688/#689 but both auto-merged. Decision: promote to required
   OR downgrade claim to advisory. Risk: 'guardrail that looks
   like enforcement but behaves like telemetry.'

2. Class-Naming Ferry Protocol with SD-9 guardrail (Amara
   2026-04-28T20:24Z; Aaron 2026-04-28T20:25Z reinforced 'she
   is 100% right here'):
   memory/feedback_class_naming_ferry_protocol_with_sd9_guardrail_amara_2026_04_28.md.
   Meta-class for the Otto-observe -> Aaron-forward -> Amara-review
   -> encode genre. SD-9 guardrail LOAD-BEARING (not footnote):
   Amara endorsement is signal, NOT proof. Local factory-hygiene
   classes encode freely; non-local claims need substrate
   evidence + external lineage + falsifier. Anti-pattern: 'Amara
   blesses the name, therefore true' — Aaron explicitly named
   this as the failure mode to guard against.

3. B-0088 P2 backlog row (the concrete instance the Advisory
   Enforcement Workflow Gap class names):
   docs/backlog/P2/B-0088-*.md.
   Decision fork for maintainer: A (promote paired-edit lint to
   required-status-check) or B (downgrade discoverability claim
   to advisory). Sibling lint audit catalogued
   (memory-reference-existence, memory-index-duplicate,
   backlog-index-integrity).

The SD-9 guardrail prevents a halo-effect failure mode in the
class-naming ferry: each future Amara-named class encoding must
preserve the worked-example + mechanism + falsifier shape. Local
classes pass quickly; non-local claims must show evidence.

MEMORY.md index updated with 2 new entries; paired-edit marker
bumped to PR #691. All 5 classes named in this arc remain
local-factory-hygiene (no non-local claims), pass SD-9 quickly.

Sibling-lint audit completed (per B-0088 §"Sibling lints to audit"):

workflow job name in required-checks?
memory-index-integrity check memory/MEMORY.md paired edit NO (B-0088 incident)
memory-reference-existence-lint lint memory/MEMORY.md reference-existence NO
memory-index-duplicate-lint lint memory/MEMORY.md for duplicate link targets NO
backlog-index-integrity check docs/BACKLOG.md generated-index drift NO

All 4 are Advisory Enforcement Workflow Gap class instances. The decision-fork in B-0088 should be applied across all 4 (each is independently A or B). Confirms the audit-class generalizes; verifies via repeated application that the pattern is real, not a one-off.

Pull request overview

Adds two new factory “class” memory entries plus a P2 backlog row (B-0088) documenting a CI/branch-protection mismatch where a workflow claims enforcement but is not actually merge-gating. Updates memory/MEMORY.md to index the new memories.

Changes:

  • Add “Class-Naming Ferry Protocol + SD-9 guardrail” memory write-up.
  • Add “Advisory Enforcement Workflow Gap” class memory write-up.
  • Add backlog row B-0088 capturing the paired-edit lint advisory/enforcement gap and the promote-vs-downgrade decision fork; update memory/MEMORY.md index.
