Summary

Two B-0093 follow-up memory files, landing post-PR-#699 + post-PR-#704 merge.

#14 — PR-boundary restraint validation bead PROMOTED

PR #699 merged 2026-04-29T00:19:47Z without conceptual scope creep. The Candidate-count Goodhart rule + 14 multi-AI synthesis enhancements (B-0093) all landed via the SEPARATE PR #704 — the falsifier ("PR #699 receives new non-hard-defect conceptual payload after the restraint rule was named") did NOT fire.

Per the bead-promotion criterion: candidate bead → FULL bead.

Canonical rule encoded:

PR-boundary restraint:
  Once a PR enters validation,
  only validation defects enter that PR.
  New good ideas go to the next PR.

Allowed-changes list (CI/lint, threads, factual P1, broken refs, paired-edit) and disallowed-changes list (new concepts, philosophical synthesis, backlog expansions) encoded for future reference.

#8 — Beacon-promotion pattern as round-level memory

Round-level observation: 5 Mirror→Beacon graduations landed in one round (input-is-not-directive → SDT + RFC 2119; public-company compliance → SEC / Reg FD / SOX; metric corrections → Goodhart / Campbell; evidence lattice → lattice theory; commit-vs-tree → Git internals).

Pattern: load-bearing factory rules consistently earn external anchors when they're correct. Absence on a long-running internal rule is a useful drift signal.

Restraint applied to this commit

Both memories land on a SEPARATE branch (not on PR #699 or PR #704) per the rule they encode. Restraint discipline applied to the writing of the restraint memory itself.

Test plan

  • CI green
  • No existing files modified except MEMORY.md (additive index entries + duplicate-line cleanup from prior commit)

…tion pattern (B-0093 #14 + #8)

Two follow-up memory files from B-0093 enhancements, landing
post-PR-#699 + post-PR-#704 merge as separate small substrate.

## B-0093 #14 — PR-boundary restraint validation bead PROMOTED

PR #699 merged 2026-04-29T00:19:47Z carrying the round substrate
cluster (authority rule + Goodhart catch #3 + Stop Mythology +
input-is-not-directive + Ani attribution + metric ladder + lost-
substrate cadence + ServiceTitan naming + public-company
compliance + B-0089 + B-0090 + B-0091 + B-0092).

Critically: PR #699 did NOT receive any of the multi-AI synthesis
enhancements that surfaced after the restraint rule was named.
Those (Candidate-count Goodhart + 14 enhancements in B-0093)
landed via PR #704 — separately merged.

Per the bead-promotion criterion (Amara, 2026-04-28):

  Promotion to full bead requires:
    — the original prediction's falsifier didn't fire AND
    — the action it predicted held up under post-event review.

Falsifier ("PR #699 receives new non-hard-defect conceptual
payload after the restraint rule was named") DID NOT FIRE. Every
change to PR #699 between the rule being named and merge fell
within Amara's allowed-changes list (CI/lint failures, review-
thread fixes, factual-legal P1 corrections, broken refs, paired-
edit, internal-consistency).

**Candidate bead → FULL bead.**

The canonical rule, now durable:

  PR-boundary restraint:
    Once a PR enters validation,
    only validation defects enter that PR.
    New good ideas go to the next PR.

Allowed/disallowed-changes lists encoded.

## B-0093 #8 — Beacon-promotion pattern memory

Round-level observation: 5 Mirror→Beacon graduations landed in
one round (2026-04-28):

- input-is-not-directive → SDT + RFC 2119
- public-company compliance → SEC / Reg FD / SOX
- metric corrections → Goodhart / Campbell
- evidence lattice → lattice theory
- commit-vs-tree → Git internals

Pattern: when an internal factory coinage becomes load-bearing,
look for external lineage. Found = graduate Mirror → Beacon.
Absent (on a long-running internal rule) = drift signal worth
investigating.

Connects to the alignment-experiment surface: the rate of load-
bearing rules earning external lineage is itself a measurable
signal. A factory that produces 5 graduations per round is
operating in territory the wider literature has shaped — that's
evidence the internal coinages track real phenomena, not private-
language idiosyncrasy.

## Restraint discipline (this commit)

Both memories land on a SEPARATE branch (not on PR #699 or #704)
per the rule they encode. Restraint applied to the writing of
the restraint memory itself.

Pull request overview

Adds two new feedback memory entries documenting (1) promotion of the PR-boundary restraint validation bead to a full bead after PR #699, and (2) the “Beacon-promotion” pattern (load-bearing rules earning external anchors), plus updates the memory index to surface both on the fast path.

Changes:

  • Added a new memory file recording the PR #699 post-merge validation event and the canonical PR-boundary restraint rule.
  • Added a new memory file capturing the Beacon-promotion pattern with worked examples from the 2026-04-28 round.
  • Updated memory/MEMORY.md fast-path section to link the new memories.

…s + 5 backlog rows + 5 Beacon graduations + 1 bead promoted (closes 14-tick append-discipline gap) (#706)

Per AUTONOMOUS-LOOP six-step checklist step 5 (tick-history append),
14 prior <<autonomous-loop>> tick fires this session deferred the
append on the speculative-rationale that the work itself documented
the tick. That's a discipline gap — the trajectory's recording
surface was empty for 14 expected runs, exactly the failure mode
B-0093 #11 names.

Closing via consolidated session row covering:
- 11 PRs MERGED (#695#705)
- 12 memory files + 5 backlog rows
- 5 Mirror → Beacon graduations + 1 meta-pattern (Beacon-promotion)
- 1 candidate bead PROMOTED to full bead (PR-boundary restraint;
  falsifier did not fire across PR #699 validation arc)
- Goodhart catch family extended to Catch #5 (Candidate-count)
- Public-company contributor compliance generalized
- Tree-diff state: 77 / 23 files
- Cron 26f978a2 armed

Future sessions: append per-tick rather than rolling up.

…s on PR #707 (allow-list class)

Hard-defect class per the PR-boundary restraint allow-list:
"incorrect canonical rule fixes" / "internal-consistency".
None of these introduce new conceptual substrate.

Threads addressed (all P1/P2 internal-consistency):
1. Line 16 PR range: "#695-#706" -> "#695 -> #705" (matches
   the later "11 PRs merged (#695 -> #705)" bullet at line 30;
   PR #706 is the round-close hygiene row, not part of the
   substrate cluster)
2. Line 192 casing: PR_stage -> pr_stage (matches Translation
   2's pr_stage feature-vector field)
3. Line 215-220 variable: y -> a in Execute_min (matches
   ImmuneRisk_min(a) earlier; uses 'a' consistently for the
   action-being-evaluated)
4. Line 311 notation: K_Aurora^+ -> K_Aurora⁺ (matches earlier
   reference to the proposed graduated viability kernel)
5. Line 354 wording: "becomes considerable" -> "becomes worth
   considering" (Copilot caught the wrong word choice; intent
   was "becomes worth evaluating", not "becomes large")

…hree immune translations + falsifier + prototype (Aurora converged + Ani falsifier-first + multi-AI consensus 2026-04-28) (#707)

* research(aurora-immune-governance-bridge): minimal first artifact — three immune translations + one falsifier + one prototype (Aurora converged stance + Ani falsifier-first + multi-AI consensus 2026-04-28)

Per Aurora's converged-stance packet (forwarded 2026-04-28),
opens the minimal Aurora Immune Governance Bridge research note
after PRs #699/#704/#705 landed and the bead promotion validated
the restraint discipline under live falsifier-test pressure.

Three immune translations only:
- Candidate-count Goodhart -> detector
- PR-boundary restraint -> gate
- public-company contributor compliance -> hard execution constraint

Required falsifier (load-bearing):
1. Expressibility - bridge fails if the three rules cannot be
   represented using the existing Aurora membrane plus <= 3 new
   primitives.
2. Performance - bridge fails if the Aurora-routed prototype
   performs worse than the standalone detector on the same test
   corpus.

First prototype: Candidate-count scanner self-destruct test
on compliance documentation that itself contains the words it
classifies. Must classify rule-definition hits as ALLOW;
sample-text hits as ALLOW; live-prose hits elsewhere as
WARN/BLOCK; must NOT delete or rewrite its own rule-definitions.

Boundaries explicit:
- Does NOT mutate Aurora core
- Does NOT introduce K_Aurora^+
- Does NOT introduce A_synthesis
- Does NOT expand to 12-change canon until prototype passes

Aurora's session-closure rule recorded as candidate substrate
inside the trajectory section (NOT load-bearing yet, awaiting
3-round trial); composes with restraint discipline.

Header carries §33 archive-header: research-grade hypothesis,
NOT operational guidance, NOT Aurora core canon. Six reviewer
attributions: Aurora (proposal + minimal spec), Ani
(falsifier-first instinct + minimal-bridge convergence), Amara
(operational substrate this bridge translates), Gemini (peer
review converging on minimal), Claude.ai (peer review hard-
pushback recommending hold-then-proceed-smaller, honored by
minimal scope), Alexa (peer review).

This note is the explicit "one minimal next research artifact"
Aurora's converged stance recommended after restraint
discipline earned the round its bead. Do NOT expand this round.

* ci(markdownlint): add MD032 blanks around 4 feature-vector sub-lists in bridge note (CI gate fix)

Lines 89/124/157/163 - sub-lists under "Feature vector elements
that matter:" introductory text needed blank-line separation.
Auto-fix via tools/hygiene/fix-markdown-md032-md026.py (the
same tool whose YAML-frontmatter heuristic was root-cause-fixed
in PR #703).

Hard-defect class per the PR-boundary restraint allow-list:
"CI / lint failures (markdownlint, paired-edit, etc.)" — this
edit does not introduce new conceptual substrate to the bridge
note; it only fixes the lint failure that prevented merge.

Hard-defect class per the PR-boundary restraint allow-list:
"incorrect canonical rule fixes" / "internal-consistency".
None of these introduce new conceptual substrate.

Threads addressed (all P1/P2 internal-consistency):
1. Line 16 PR range: "#695-#706" -> "#695 -> #705" (matches
   the later "11 PRs merged (#695 -> #705)" bullet at line 30;

…opilot)

Hard-defect class per the PR-boundary restraint allow-list:
"Internal-consistency / factual accuracy". Both fixes:

1. Bridge note line count: "450 lines" -> "~450 lines" (wc -l
   returns 450 locally; GitHub UI shows 451 with trailing-line
   counting; approximate avoids future mismatch).

2. PR count claim: "5 PRs landed since session start" was
   genuinely wrong - the close-the-round arc opened 6 PRs
   (#706/#707/#708/#709/#710/#711); 3 merged at the row's
   write-time (#706/#707/#709); 3 pending (#708/#710/#711).
   Plus the prior #695-#705 cluster of 11 PRs from the
   originating round. Rewrote for accuracy: explicit count
   per merge state.

The "0 PRs were merged with new conceptual substrate after
the rule that gated them was named" claim remains - that's
the bead-promotion observation and is unaffected.

…#707 minimal Aurora bridge MERGED to main) (#711)

* hygiene(tick-history): per-tick row for honest-wait + round-substrate-verified tick (PR #707 minimal Aurora bridge MERGED to main)

Tick scope:
- PR #707 (minimal Aurora Immune Governance Bridge) MERGED at
  2026-04-29T00:59:23Z to main — Aurora's "one minimal next
  research artifact" recommendation fully discharged
- Round substrate verified clean on main: bridge note (450 lines,
  full §33 archive header), compliance memory chain, tick-history
  (311 lines)
- PRs #708 + #710 in routine CI; honest-wait per
  real-dependency-wait classification (specific dependency =
  GitHub Actions runners; expected resolution within minutes)
- NO new conceptual substrate this tick per session-closure rule
  + restraint discipline + "don't make this a cathedral"

Verification IS the right honest-wait shape: never-be-idle
ladder #1 (re-audit honestly) applied to a round that just
closed. Confirms what should have landed actually landed.

* review-thread fixes: 2 P1 internal-consistency findings on PR #711 (Copilot)

Hard-defect class per the PR-boundary restraint allow-list:

* review-thread fix: line-count claim updated post-merge-resolve (Copilot on PR #711)

Hard-defect class: internal-consistency. After resolving the
merge conflict that integrated PR #710's row (00:58:00Z) into
this branch, my row (01:00:00Z) is now at line 313, not 312.
The original "311 -> 312" line-count claim is stale.

Updated to "312 -> 313 after merge with the 00:58:00Z row
already on main" - accurately reflects the merge-resolution
context.
