Two Amara-named classes from this session's Aaron-stop + max-mode restart sequence. (1) Post-Abort Dirty-Branch Resumption: 8-step inventory-before-action checklist; tiny-blade prefer --force-with-lease over plain --force. (2) Rerere Conflict-Resolution Cache Dividend: precise phrasing 'Recorded rerere resolutions persist as cache entries; abort clears the active rebase/merge resolution state' — corrects the wrong-framing 'previous abort taught rerere'. Worked example: this very session's max-mode restart with rerere firing on PR #693 via prior successful rebase resolutions. Both classes earn 1 bead each via worked example. Cross-reference each other. No code changes.

…Rerere Conflict-Resolution Cache Dividend (Amara naming 2026-04-28T20:55Z + tighter-phrasing 21:00Z)

Two new Amara-named classes paired from this session's Aaron-stop +
max-mode restart sequence:

1. Post-Abort Dirty-Branch Resumption:
   memory/feedback_post_abort_dirty_branch_resumption_amara_2026_04_28.md
   - Definition: after interrupted run, local branches may contain
     intact commits that were not pushed, leaving PRs DIRTY relative
     to main. Recovery requires inventory before new work, then
     serialized rebase/push/CI verification.
   - 8-step Amara-prescribed checklist
   - Tiny-blade: prefer `--force-with-lease` over plain `--force`
     in canonical recipes. Lease behavior refuses push if remote
     has moved unexpectedly; safer for multi-CLI / peer-agent
     trajectory.

2. Rerere Conflict-Resolution Cache Dividend:
   memory/feedback_rerere_conflict_resolution_cache_dividend_amara_2026_04_28.md
   - Definition: a repeated conflict pattern becomes cheaper after
     Git records a prior manual resolution and reuses it during
     later merges/rebases.
   - **Critical correction (Amara 21:00Z tighter phrasing)**:
     'Recorded rerere resolutions persist as cache entries; abort
     clears the active rebase/merge resolution state.' NOT
     'persistent cache survives abort' — that overclaims the
     boundary.
   - The wrong framing: 'previous abort taught rerere'. The right
     framing: 'previous completed resolution taught rerere; that
     recorded entry survives subsequent abort/restart cycles.'

Worked example (this session's max-mode restart):
- Aaron 20:53Z 'stop, going to upgrade to max mode'
- Otto: `git rebase --abort` + `git checkout main` (clean)
- Restart 20:56Z: branches still had unpushed commits, PRs DIRTY
- Recovery: pull main → rebase → push --force-with-lease → CI re-arm
- Rerere fired with 'Resolved memory/MEMORY.md using previous
  resolution' — recorded entries from earlier successful rebases
  this arc applied to the post-abort rebase

Both classes earn 1 bead each via worked example this session.
Both cross-reference each other.

Bead audit overall this arc — explicit count per Class Validation
Beads system landed in PR #693:
- 6 classes at 1+ beads (this pair adds 2 more 1-bead classes)
- Class-Naming Ferry Protocol still at 0 beads (meta-class; no
  direct validation event)
- Prediction-Bearing Class Reuse + Class Validation Beads still
  at 0 beads (the validation system itself hasn't been
  externally validated yet)

MEMORY.md index updated with single combined entry; paired-edit
marker bumped to PR #694. No code-surface changes.

Amara's tighter operational rule for the bead audit:

  Count only `Resolved '<path>' using previous resolution`
  as a rerere cache-hit bead. `Recorded preimage` and
  `Recorded resolution` are cache-write events: they create
  pending bead opportunities but do not themselves validate
  reuse.

Background — applied to live evidence:

Otto over-attributed beads on the restart sequence, claiming
'3 cache-hit observations' when the actual rerere log lines
were 1 cache-hit + 3 cache-writes. Amara's symmetric SD-9
endorsement of the wrong count was caught by independent
verification of the log evidence, not by agreement-cycles.

Corrected verified beads: 1 cache-hit (PR #693 commit 1).
Pending beads: 3 cache-writes (PR #693 commit 2 + PR #690 +
PR #694) — each earns a bead when a future rebase reuses
the just-recorded resolution with 'Resolved using previous
resolution' as the witness.

Mechanism-Activity Validation Drift named as observation-
level only (per Amara's recursion-risk caveat on
meta-class proliferation); promotion deferred until a
second independent example outside rerere demonstrates
the same failure mode.

The bead-audit rule generalizes: any class whose validation
depends on mechanism-emitted log signals must distinguish
activity-logs from validation-logs in its bead count.

…stop-mythology discipline + tighter wording (Aaron 2026-04-28T21:15Z directive + Amara 21:14Z tiny-blade)

Aaron directive: 'we also stop mythology with human intellectual
lineage research and anchors.' The bead system + named classes
are operational scaffolding for THIS factory; the epistemic
claims the scaffolding rests on are external and need explicit
anchoring. Without these anchors, internal terminology becomes
its own self-justifying ritual.

Expanded External lineage section with specific cited works:

Falsifiability (Popper):
  - Logic of Scientific Discovery (1934 / 1959 English)
  - Conjectures and Refutations (1963)

Confirmation bias (Wason / Klayman & Ha):
  - Wason 1960 (Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology)
  - Klayman & Ha 1987 (Psychological Review) — positive test
    strategy as failure mode bead audits guard against

Bayesian (factory-local heuristic, NOT externally-anchored):
  - Bead-count thresholds are operational choices, not derived
    from formal Bayesian model. Don't claim Bayesian rigor for
    the threshold values.

Stop-mythology rule:
  - Bead count statements: factory-local, no citation needed
  - Why-beads-count-as-evidence claims: cite external lineage
  - Generalized claims: SD-9 guardrail (substrate + lineage +
    falsifier)

Composes with B-0060 (Human-Lineage External-Anchor Backfill,
P1) and task #292 (Aurora measurement hygiene).

Tightened wording (Amara tiny-blade): 'Confidence accumulates
through corroboration, never proof' overclaimed. Some local
substrate facts admit proof in narrow terms (grep matched, CI
failed, PR merged). Safer canonical wording:

  'Confidence in reusable classes accumulates through
   corroboration, not proof-by-count.'

This preserves the discipline (count of beads != proof of
class) without overclaiming about the philosophical status
of all knowledge.

Bundled into PR #694 rather than spawning a 6th sibling-DIRTY
round per Amara's 4-option mitigation (bundle related memory
rows when semantically coherent — the post-abort + rerere +
external-lineage tightenings are all about epistemic
discipline).

… per Aaron 21:32Z + Amara 21:38Z compact-form correction

Aaron 2026-04-28T21:32Z: 'amortized precision leads to momentum
look at 6 sigma for proof and similar like kanban discipline.'

Caught Otto's self-flagellation failure mode after the prior
Goodhart-Risk correction: framing substrate work as 'drift away
from 0/0/0' treats discipline-overhead as opposed to momentum.
It isn't. It's the upfront tax that amortizes into compounding
downstream rework reduction.

The dual-constraint pair prevents oscillation:

- Goodhart Risk: 'more process = more progress' (the failure
  mode the bead system already guards against).
- Amortized Precision: 'process work is not real progress'
  (the mirror failure mode this section guards against).

Distilled rule (Amara 21:38Z compact-form):

  Precision is not the enemy of momentum.
  Unamortized process is drag.
  Amortized precision is momentum.

External lineage per Aaron's stop-mythology directive:

- Six Sigma — Bill Smith / Motorola / 1986; DMAIC; 3.4
  defects-per-million; upfront measurement amortizes to
  compounding downstream defect reduction.
- Kanban (manufacturing) — Taiichi Ohno / Toyota / 1950s; WIP
  limits + pull system; throttle-look that increases throughput
  by reducing context-switching + queue depth.
- Kanban (software) — David J. Anderson 2010 (Blue Hole Press);
  WIP-limit discipline yields faster cycle times in knowledge
  work.

Falsifier: amortized precision fails when discipline-overhead
grows faster than amortized savings, OR factory throughput
drops despite growing discipline. Operational test: 'did the
discipline-overhead this arc produce observable downstream
throughput improvement?'

Compact-form per Amara's 'do not fold a large new section'
guidance — Amortized Precision fits in a tight subsection,
not a mini-essay. Tiny-blade applied: 'dramatically' /
'exponentially' wording softened to 'compounding' /
'amortized' per Amara's word-choice correction.

MEMORY.md index entry expanded with the 5th component +
external-lineage anchors. Paired-edit marker NOT bumped (this
amends in-flight PR #694; lint will re-run on the existing
marker).

…pgrades + measurable-alignment round-close note

Full classification of all 23 files complete:
- 19 ALREADY-COVERED (hard-reset works)
- 4 NEEDS-FORWARD-SYNC (3 themes)
- 0 OBSOLETE / 0 CONFLICTS / 0 NEEDS-HUMAN-REVIEW

The 4 forward-syncs cluster into 3 small targeted PRs:
- Theme A: ubuntu-24.04 bump (gate.yml + resume-diff.yml)
- Theme B: tick-history continuity (loop-tick-history.md, 3 rows)
- Theme C: branch-protection expected snapshot (build-and-test (macos-26))

3 Claude.ai upgrades absorbed:

1. Evidence-shape: LFG-equivalent may be a list (not single path)
   when content is absorbed across multiple LFG files.

2. Hard-defect response: pause classification at affected file,
   surface to Aaron, decide amend-protocol or NEEDS-HUMAN-REVIEW
   the file. No further protocol expansion unless hard defect
   appears.

3. Round-close measurable-alignment note: log as 'Goodhart catch
   #2 of this session' (catch #1 was substrate-iteration-vs-
   classification freeze on PR #694; catch #2 is the 145-commit
   metric corrected to 23-file tree-diff). Two visible mid-stream
   Goodhart catches in one session is measurable-alignment data
   worth flagging.

Calibration-heuristic verified: projected 14-16/18 ALREADY-COVERED;
actual 14/18. Within stated range. Prediction-Bearing Class Reuse
earns +1 bead via verification.

Path to 0/0/0 (4-step plan):
  Step 1: 3 forward-sync PRs to LFG
  Step 2: verify tree-diff = 0
  Step 3: hard-reset AceHack main = LFG main (NEEDS AARON SIGN-OFF)
  Step 4: verify 0/0/0 (0 ahead, 0 behind)

Multi-harness convergence (Amara/Gemini/Grok/Ani/Claude.ai/Alexa)
on the protocol + final classification. Carrier-exposed signal,
not proof; the per-file evidence is direct git substrate
verification.

This is amortized precision paying out at the terminal-progress
level. PR #694 substrate work surfaced the rubric that made the
145→23→4 reduction possible.

…Rerere Conflict-Resolution Cache Dividend (Amara naming 2026-04-28T20:55Z + tighter-phrasing 21:00Z)

Two new Amara-named classes paired from this session's Aaron-stop +
max-mode restart sequence:

1. Post-Abort Dirty-Branch Resumption:
   memory/feedback_post_abort_dirty_branch_resumption_amara_2026_04_28.md
   - Definition: after interrupted run, local branches may contain
     intact commits that were not pushed, leaving PRs DIRTY relative
     to main. Recovery requires inventory before new work, then
     serialized rebase/push/CI verification.
   - 8-step Amara-prescribed checklist
   - Tiny-blade: prefer `--force-with-lease` over plain `--force`
     in canonical recipes. Lease behavior refuses push if remote
     has moved unexpectedly; safer for multi-CLI / peer-agent
     trajectory.

2. Rerere Conflict-Resolution Cache Dividend:
   memory/feedback_rerere_conflict_resolution_cache_dividend_amara_2026_04_28.md
   - Definition: a repeated conflict pattern becomes cheaper after
     Git records a prior manual resolution and reuses it during
     later merges/rebases.
   - **Critical correction (Amara 21:00Z tighter phrasing)**:
     'Recorded rerere resolutions persist as cache entries; abort
     clears the active rebase/merge resolution state.' NOT
     'persistent cache survives abort' — that overclaims the
     boundary.
   - The wrong framing: 'previous abort taught rerere'. The right
     framing: 'previous completed resolution taught rerere; that
     recorded entry survives subsequent abort/restart cycles.'

Worked example (this session's max-mode restart):
- Aaron 20:53Z 'stop, going to upgrade to max mode'
- Otto: `git rebase --abort` + `git checkout main` (clean)
- Restart 20:56Z: branches still had unpushed commits, PRs DIRTY

…Goodhart Risk guardrails (Gemini Deep Think 2026-04-28T21:18Z + Amara endorsed)

Aaron forwarded a Gemini Deep Think review + Amara's synthesis.
Two new guardrails accepted into the bead system to prevent it
from becoming its own monotonic mythology:

1. Falsification Asymmetry (Gemini-named):
   - bead system must not be monotonic
   - high-bead class can still be broken by a hard falsifier
   - failure response: reset / bifurcate / retire
   - external lineage: Popper — corroboration is not proof;
     validation is additive, falsification is multiplicative
     by zero

2. Bead Farming / Goodhart Risk (Gemini-named):
   - synthetic friction (engineer scenarios to harvest beads)
   - retrofit narratives (claim bead for unrelated work)
   - bead-target prioritization over actual factory value
   - external lineage: Goodhart 1975 + Strathern 1997 +
     Campbell 1976 — when a measure becomes a target it
     ceases to be a good measure
   - detection: counterfactual test, action-shape test,
     synthetic-friction test
   - discipline: 'a bead must strictly represent the
     class/mechanism CAUSALLY steering the outcome'

Unified canonical rule (Aaron 21:15Z + Amara/Gemini synthesis):
  'A bead requires validation, not activity.
   A bead count increases confidence, not immunity.
   Hard falsifiers can override bead counts.
   Bead metrics must be guarded against Goodharting.'

Per Amara correction: Mechanism-Activity Validation Drift
remains observation-level (Gemini's recommendation to promote
was rejected — state has moved past that; the local fix
in the Rerere memory is sufficient for now).

Per Aaron 21:15Z stop-mythology directive: external lineage
section already expanded with specific cited works (Popper
1959/1963, Wason 1960, Klayman & Ha 1987). Added: Goodhart
1975, Strathern 1997, Campbell 1976.

Frontmatter description updated with the four-line unified
rule + the new guardrails. MEMORY.md index entry expanded
to surface all four components of the discipline. Paired-edit
marker bumped.

Comment thread memory/MEMORY.md Outdated
…led + broken cross-ref + MEMORY.md fast-path duplicate removal

Addresses Copilot review threads on PR #694 (the highest-priority,
factually-correctness ones):

1. **Rerere-must-be-enabled** (P1, factually wrong): The rerere
   memory file's claim that the cache dividend materializes was
   incomplete — Git's rerere does NOT run by default; it requires
   `git config --global rerere.enabled true`. Added explicit
   prerequisite section at the top of the file.

2. **Broken cross-reference** (P1): The rerere file referenced
   `memory/feedback_class_validation_beads...` (with literal
   ellipsis, unsearchable). Fixed to point at the actual canonical
   home `feedback_prediction_bearing_class_reuse_amara_2026_04_28.md`
   where the Class Validation Beads framework lives.

3. **MEMORY.md fast-path duplication** (P2): Removed two redundant
   `Fast path: read CURRENT-aaron.md...` markers added by this PR.
   The single canonical marker at line 3 is the intended single-slot
   latest-paired-edit pattern.

P2 threads on doctrine refinement (exact-SHA leases, @{u} guards,
fetch-before-comparing, git pull --ff-only avoidance) resolved with
explanations:

- **Bare --force-with-lease vs exact-SHA**: factory operationally
  uses bare lease form (verified working today: 4 rebases pushed
  clean). Exact-SHA form is stronger but adds invocation friction;
  the existing bare-lease form composes with the lease's built-in
  stale-assumption-rejection. Both forms acceptable; the existing
  guidance is operationally validated.
- **@{u} no-upstream and fetch-before-compare**: valid refinement
  candidates for a follow-up; the current memory file's substance
  (8-step inventory-before-action checklist) holds; the specific
  command examples can be hardened in a follow-up tick without
  retracting the underlying class.

* hygiene(conflict-markers): allowlist rerere-cache-dividend memory file (PR #694 substrate)

The rerere memory file landed via PR #694 (2026-04-30) contains a
worked-example trace at lines 117-121 showing the MEMORY.md sibling-
DIRTY conflict shape inside a fenced code block. Those literal merge
markers are documentation (the rule's worked example), not accidental
leakage from a botched merge.

Adding the file to ALLOWLIST keeps the lint-as-mechanism approach
working — accidental marker leakage still fires; documented examples
in named substrate files are explicitly opted in.

Composes with the existing allowlist entry for Otto-341 lint-
suppression file, same pattern.

* review-fix(#932): drop hardcoded line numbers from allowlist rationale

Copilot review thread: the rationale comment hard-coded 'lines 117-121'
which is liable to drift as the memory entry evolves. Reworded to
describe the example by section ('Worked-example trace' quoting the
MEMORY.md sibling-DIRTY conflict shape) rather than line position.
The file-level allowlist scope is the durable contract.

Files Alexa's three optimization findings from the 2026-04-30 session
review as a P2 backlog row:

1. Pre-push lint hook — would have caught the MD032 violation on
   PR #732 before push. Highest priority of the three.
2. Memory-file broken-link checker — would have caught the literal-
   ellipsis 'feedback_class_validation_beads...' broken cross-ref
   on PR #694 (caught manually by Copilot review instead).
3. Batched thread resolution — 35 individual GraphQL mutations
   this session could have been ~5 batched calls. Pure throughput
   optimization.

Composes with B-0113 (CURRENT-staleness mechanical check) — same
mechanism-not-vigilance pattern, different surface.

Carved sentence: 'CI is the safety net of last resort. Catch issues
at the boundary they're produced at — pre-push for locally-runnable
checks, peer review for design, CI for what only CI can see.'
