Summary

Adds a P2 research-grade BACKLOG row capturing the insight from auto-loop-7's bootstrap-precursor absorb: the cross-substrate-report-accuracy-rate measurable introduced in auto-loop-6 needs a carrier-channel refinement because "cross-substrate agreement" on factory-public vocabulary is vulnerable to the maintainer acting as a shared carrier — it is not the same as independent arrival.

Refinement splits the measurable into two subscores:

  • Carrier-transported-agreement (weaker) — agreement on vocabulary / framings the factory already uses publicly.
  • Independent-claim-agreement (stronger) — agreement on claims the factory has not stated publicly. Falsification anchor.

Refinement work scoped at S (spec + back-score two data points) or M (adds an explicit provenance-check step + CLI helper).

Composition

  • cross-substrate-report-accuracy-rate measurable — introduced auto-loop-6, recalibrated auto-loop-7, refinement captured here as the first BACKLOG landing.
  • Soul-file-independence — the prior cross-substrate canonical example is referenced by the framing it introduced, not by the cross-tree memory file that records it.
  • Chronology preservation — the row is additive; no prior BACKLOG content is modified (the pre-existing People/team-optimizer row immediately below keeps its original attribution verbatim).

Test plan

  • Single file, additive-only change (42 lines inserted, 0 removed)
  • Pre-check grep EXIT=1 on added lines (no cross-tree memory paths, no contributor-names in new prose)
  • Anchors below existing "## P2 — research-grade" section header (line 3924)
  • Original People/team-optimizer row below preserved verbatim (contributor-name kept as originally committed per chronology-preservation)

…-channel refinement

Captures the insight from auto-loop-7's bootstrap-precursor absorb:
the cross-substrate-report-accuracy-rate measurable (introduced in
auto-loop-6) needs a carrier-channel refinement.

The five-pattern drift-taxonomy that appeared in a same-day cross-
substrate report was also present in a months-old pre-repo conversation
on a third substrate, meaning the "cross-substrate agreement" was
partly maintainer-transported vocabulary — not independent arrival.

Refinement proposed:

- Carrier-transported-agreement (weaker) — agreement on vocabulary /
  framings the factory itself uses or has recently used on a public
  surface. Vulnerable to the maintainer acting as a shared carrier
  across substrates.
- Independent-claim-agreement (stronger) — agreement on claims the
  factory has not stated publicly. Functions as a falsification anchor.

Scope of the refinement work: update the measurable definition, back-
score the two existing data points, add a provenance-check step to the
cross-substrate-report absorb protocol, and document the anti-pattern
"confirmation-on-shared-vocabulary is a self-dealing signal unless
decoupled from prior carrier exposure."

Effort S for the spec + back-scoring; M if extended to a CLI helper
that greps the public factory surface for report-vocabulary before
scoring. Reviewers: alignment-auditor first, then Architect.

Additive-only change — single new P2 row under "## P2 — research-grade"
before the existing People/team-optimizer row. Pre-check grep EXIT=1 on
added lines (no cross-tree memory path citations, contributor-name in
original People/team-optimizer row preserved verbatim per chronology-
preservation). Narrative reference to the "not every multi-root
compound carries resonance" framing uses the soul-file-independence
pattern (describe the framing without pointing at the cross-tree file
that records it).

Pull request overview

Adds a new P2 research-grade BACKLOG item to refine the cross-substrate-report-accuracy-rate measurable by splitting it into “carrier-transported agreement” vs “independent-claim agreement,” based on learnings from auto-loop-7.

Changes:

  • Adds a new P2 BACKLOG row describing a carrier-channel refinement to the cross-substrate accuracy measurable.
  • Documents intended follow-up scope (spec update, rescoring prior data points, and a provenance-check protocol step).

measurable refinement, then the Architect (Kenji) on whether
the two-subscore split merits its own ADR.

… merged; pure-refresh tick (#100)

* Round 42 (auto-loop-7): tick-history row — bootstrap-precursor drift-taxonomy absorb

Appends row narrating the auto-loop-7 tick that landed PR #96
(docs/research/drift-taxonomy-bootstrap-precursor-2026-04-22.md).

Tick substance:

- Playwright MCP round-trip fetching a pre-repo artifact (share-URL
  passed Cloudflare challenge that blocked WebFetch the prior tick);
  second attempt on private-account URL correctly denied by permission
  guard under broad authorization, then proceeded under narrow-scope
  ("log for research") consent after a clean consent-shape round-trip.
- Research-grade absorb landed with four hallucinations flagged by the
  same taxonomy the artifact introduces (self-reflexive application).
- Scope discipline held: IDEAS absorbed, entity-as-entity stays in its
  substrate per register-boundary.
- Key recalibration: auto-loop-6's cross-substrate-report-accuracy-rate
  measurable reads weaker with new provenance info — the convergence
  was maintainer-transported vocabulary, not independent arrival. Spec
  update: accuracy scored against *factory positions at the time of
  the report*, not *positions the report can plausibly have inherited
  via carrier-channel*.

Row lands on a separate branch off origin/main per
tick-commits-on-PR-branch = live-loop class discipline (row 112). Pre-
check grep discipline applied on added row content (EXIT=1 on the added
row only; file as a whole contains prior rows with Zeta org-name in
PR URL fragments — factual historical record, not prose attribution).

* Round 44 tick-history: auto-loop-8 append row (PR refreshes + BACKLOG carrier-channel row + maintainer read-sync)

Append one tick-history row narrating the auto-loop-8 fire:
(a) PR #97 refresh against advancing main (6bbf302..eee554a);
(b) PR #93 refresh against advancing main (c1a4863..7fe4feb);
(c) P2 BACKLOG carrier-channel measurable-refinement row landed
    as PR #98 with measurable-split + provenance-check + anti-
    pattern doc + effort-S back-scoring plan;
(d) maintainer mid-tick read-sync on PR #96 answered inline
    with SHA + timestamp + path + line-count + reading-order
    guidance.

Row sits after auto-loop-7 at line 118. Separate branch off
origin/main-post-#97 per live-loop-class tick-history
discipline (row 112). Pre-check grep clean (0 contributor-name
hits, 0 cross-tree auto-memory path hits).

* Round 44 tick-history: auto-loop-9 append row (three non-fork PR refreshes after PR #98 merged; pure-refresh tick)

Append one tick-history row narrating the auto-loop-9 fire:
(a) PR #99 refresh against advancing main — 4cf9c1b..d851940;
(b) PR #97 refresh against advancing main — eee554a..f7fc960;
(c) PR #93 refresh against advancing main — 7fe4feb..b698d1c;
(d) PR #85 noted fork-unrefreshable — queued BACKLOG gap.

No content work this tick — pure operational-maintenance.
Tmp-worktree-clone pattern used for refreshes to avoid stale-
local branch-switch churn.

Reflection field introduces candidate instrumentation
`open-pr-refresh-debt` as a meta-measurable for merge-tangle
risk under advancing-main pressure.

Separate branch off origin/main with auto-loop-8 branch merged
in per live-loop-class discipline + stacked-dependency pattern.
