Summary

Extends one existing row in the recurring-failure-mode roster, instrument_output_read_as_subject_content, with a resolution-axis form: an instrument that resolves a reference to something adjacent to the intended subject and then reports faithfully about what it resolved to. Provenance is intact and every individual reading is true of its own subject; the defect is manufactured by JOINING two of them.

Authored on the authority (dag/gunbc/recurring_failure_mode.dag) and regenerated into docs/design-failure-modes.md from the merged authority — not text-merged. No new authority is minted; per DESIGN.md §3 this is a form of an existing class.

The boundary against stable_citation_mutable_referent

#10059 landed stable_citation_mutable_referent while this PR was pending, and both rows claimed the same specimen: the GitHub Actions job id whose logs API serves the latest attempt. One receipt, two authorities, in the file that rosters exactly that failure.

The boundary is decidable rather than a matter of framing, and the row now states it as a test: does a reader who correctly diagnoses one perform the right fix for the other? No — and each fix is actively wrong applied to the other.

  • stable_citation_mutable_referent: the identifier resolves to its own correct subject and the world replaces the content served underneath it. The reader's test was right; re-reading confirms the wrong answer. Repair: pin the citation — attempt number, sha, immutable artifact.
  • this form: nothing is replaced and nothing moves; every reading is live and would be identical tomorrow. The reader's test resolved to a neighbouring question. Repair: change the test — line-diff to identifier-diff to concept-mapping.

Crossed over, both fail: pin a squash-merge two-dot and you have pinned a merge base that was always the wrong one; concept-map two attempts and you conclude a migration is real without ever establishing the two readings share a subject.

So the attempt case belongs to stable_citation_mutable_referent and specimen (i) is removed here, with that row cited by identity for it. Removal improves this row rather than costing it: its own ladder is line-diff red on a rewrite, identifier-diff red on a rename, concept-mapping the only test that decides — every rung positional — and the attempt case was never on that ladder. What remains is exactly the positional-test ladder and the natural extension of positional_citation.

This PR also edits a row already on main

Called out explicitly so the out-of-subject hunk is not a surprise. Specimen (i) carried one observation the landed row did not: monotone growth is precisely what independent draws at a fixed distance from a budget do not produce. That is a tell that the readings are not independent draws — which is to say that something replaced the referent — so it is a fact about stable_citation_mutable_referent and belongs there. It was moved, not deleted; deleting it for tidiness would have lost a measured fact. One sentence, approved by the manager on §2 grounds, the alternative being a second 4-minute 8.7 GiB regen of the most contended file in the repository to relocate it.

bold-carp-449 is archived and this row is the only durable form of their specimen (iii, now ii). Verified present after every edit: prose_citation_census.dag, the ProseCitationLocality coproduct, the renamed test fn, and the five-functions reading.

Test plan

No tests changed; this is a ledger row and its regenerated projection. The executing check is the generated-artifact gate in the required-witnesses-build lane, which adjudicates docs/design-failure-modes.md against its authority.

Verified locally before pushing:

  • Three-dot vs main: exactly 2 files, 4 insertions, 4 deletions. (Two-dot is unusable here — it renders phantom deletions whenever the branch is behind main.)
  • Untouched documents byte-identical to main by object hash: docs/design-rung-drops.md a845ea5, DESIGN.md 046e165. Confirms main_wet_one emits exactly one document per invocation.
  • Identity join, both directions: 64 declarations, 64 roster entries, symmetric difference empty; all 64 authority identities present in the projection — including stable_citation_mutable_referent, whose absence was the defect that held this PR. An identity join, not a count equality.
  • git merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main HEAD → YES.
  • Compile: the merged tree produces 45 blocking errors and 16348 advisories — and origin/main alone produces the same 45, file-for-file identical, with zero diagnostics touching recurring_failure_mode.dag. Pre-existing main-red, not introduced here; reported separately rather than repaired inside this PR.

Opened by session bold-stag-665, which has since been archived; carried by calm-boar-314.

…ng adjacent and reports faithfully about it

Three specimens across three instruments, each red for a different irrelevant
reason and each returning a well-formed plausible answer rather than an error.
That is the teeth of this form: the wrong answer does not look like a failure, it
looks like data.

  line-diff        red on a REWRITE   -- specimen (ii), two-dot across a squash
  identifier-diff  red on a RENAME    -- specimen (iii)
  concept-mapping  the only test that decides

Specimen (i) is the same ladder in the time axis: a job id resolving to the latest
ATTEMPT, so the handle was stable and the subject moved. All three were caught one
step short of a wrong decision, and the near-misses are recorded because a class
whose specimens halt just before harm names what the recognition rule has to beat.

UPDATE, NOT A NEW ROW, and the reason is the boundary work rather than economy.
instrument_output_read_as_subject_content already owns this invalid state:
provenance intact, the instrument answered ITS OWN question faithfully, and the
consumer read it as an answer to theirs. Its existing forms substitute WHAT was
covered; this one substitutes WHICH VERSION, ATTEMPT or SPELLING. Same repair law
-- derive from the subject, not from the rendering. Section 2 prefers updating over
minting, and state_space_conflation's fourth form is the in-row precedent.

It is bounded against the three nearest rows inside the text, because those
boundaries are what justify a form here rather than a fourth authority.
receipt_names_a_property_not_the_tree_it_holds_of is a receipt that EXPIRED when
its base moved; here nothing expires, every reading is live and true of its own
subject, and the defect is manufactured by JOINING two of them. positional_citation
is an authored handle that decays and fails by matching zero; here the handle keeps
matching perfectly and answers confidently about something else -- and specimen
(iii) sharpens that pair, since an identifier grep is ITSELF a positional test, so
that row names the decaying-pointer half and this one the unsound-absence half.
execution_provenance_loss asks whether the observation ran; here it ran.

A HOME WAS PROPOSED AND DECLINED, recorded because the reasoning outlives the
decision: widening unlanded_citation_indistinguishable_at_the_citing_end from
"landed vs unlanded" to "which version did the reference resolve to". That row is
about AUTHORING a citation -- its content is a rule for what a canonical row may
cite, three admissible forms, and a speech rule about the word "filed". These
specimens are a READER consuming an instrument. Widening it would give one row two
subjects and blunt a sharp rule, which is the meaning-fork shape, in the file that
rosters meaning forks.

Specimen (iii) comes from bold-carp-449, whose session is archived; this row is its
only durable form, and the row says so.

PROJECTION regenerated from the authority via the .dag entry point
tools.generated_artifact_gate main_wet_one on a gunbc BUILT FROM SOURCE -- the
installed binary cannot parse the corpus, refusing with unresolved types across
dag/gunbc/srv3 and plan_registry, exactly as gunbc.rung_drop records. Roster closure
verified both directions: 63 declared, 63 rostered, no asymmetry. DESIGN.md is
untouched because updating a row mints no identity.

The regen refused once, correctly, into this very row: `origin/main^{tree}` in the
prose read `{tree}` as string interpolation and raised `undefined variable 'tree'`
with file, line and column. Escaped as `\{tree\}`; the projection renders the brace
literally.

…table_referent, and regenerate

#10059 landed stable_citation_mutable_referent while this branch was pending, and both
rows claimed the same specimen: the GitHub job id whose logs API serves the latest
attempt. One receipt, two authorities, in the file that rosters exactly that failure.

The boundary is decidable rather than a framing, and the row now states it as the test:
does a reader who correctly diagnoses one perform the right fix for the other? No, and
each fix is actively wrong applied to the other. There the identifier resolves to its
own correct subject and the world replaces the content underneath, so re-reading
confirms the wrong answer and the repair is to PIN THE CITATION. Here nothing is
replaced and every reading would be identical tomorrow; the reader's TEST resolved to a
neighbouring question and the repair is to CHANGE THE TEST. Pin a squash-merge two-dot
and you have pinned a merge base that was always wrong; concept-map two attempts and you
conclude a migration is real without establishing the readings share a subject.

So the attempt case belongs to stable_citation_mutable_referent and is removed here.
That improves this row rather than costing it: its own ladder is line-diff red on a
rewrite, identifier-diff red on a rename, concept-mapping the only test that decides --
every rung positional -- and the attempt case was never on that ladder. What remains is
exactly the positional-test ladder and the natural extension of positional_citation.

One measured observation moved rather than deleted: monotone growth is not what
independent draws at a fixed distance from a budget produce. That is a tell that the
readings are not independent draws, which is to say that something replaced the
referent, so it belongs on the landed row. This commit therefore edits a row already on
main; the PR body says so.

bold-carp-449 is archived and this row is the only durable form of their specimen, which
is verified present after every edit.

docs/design-failure-modes.md is REGENERATED from the merged authority, not text-merged.
Identity join against the authority: 64 identities, none absent, closure symmetric.

…rate

review 58972 found the recognition rule still claiming "COVERING ALL THREE" after the
attempt specimen moved to stable_citation_mutable_referent. Verifying it surfaced a
second instance the review did not name, and that one was worse than a miscount: the
axis sentence still argued that "a purely temporal reading of this form does not house
all three specimens", a defence against a reading that no longer applies. With the
attempt case gone NEITHER remaining specimen is temporal, so the hedge misdescribed the
row it was defending.

Both replaced with the positive statement, which is also the sharpest form of the
boundary: the time axis left with the attempt case. Specimen (i) reads one fixed branch
against one fixed main and specimen (ii) one fixed tree against one fixed staged copy at
one instant; both would answer identically tomorrow, and their adjacency is ANCESTRY and
NAMING rather than time.

Projection regenerated from the authority. Identity join: 64 identities, none absent,
symmetric difference empty both directions.

Both findings verified against the current text. One is fixed and was worse than reported; the other I am contesting, with reasoning rather than a refusal.

Finding 2 — stale cardinality. Confirmed, fixed, and there were TWO instances, not one. You named RECOGNITION RULE, COVERING ALL THREE. Verifying it surfaced a second that the diff-local read would not reach: the axis sentence still argued that "a purely temporal reading of this form does not house all three specimens." That one is worse than a miscount — it is a defence against a reading that no longer applies, since with the attempt case moved out neither remaining specimen is temporal. It misdescribed the row it was defending. Both are replaced with the positive statement, which is also the sharpest form of the boundary: the time axis left with the attempt case; specimen (i) reads one fixed branch against one fixed main and specimen (ii) one fixed tree against one fixed staged copy at one instant, so their adjacency is ANCESTRY and NAMING rather than time. Fixed in ec8834047e1 and regenerated.

Finding 1 — transcribed measurements. Contesting. The §6 rule you cite is real and I applied it against myself earlier today, refusing to file a row whose content was a copied population count. The distinction is whether a producer owns the number and re-derives it.

These numbers are the opposite case. +76/-31 on gunbc#10100, the 5313-line reading on gunbc#9995, 25 of 56 absent identifiers — every one is a wrong reading, taken at a fixed past moment, and the row exists because it was wrong. No producer re-derives a wrong reading. Re-deriving +76/-31 today returns the correct answer, which does not refresh the citation — it destroys the specimen. The failure mode §6 guards against is a transcribed number silently rotting while its producer moves on; here the number is not a claim about the present world at all, it is the observed input to a mistake, and its value is precisely that it is fixed.

What §6 asks for in substance — name the thing that re-derives the answer — the row already does, per specimen: the tree-sha comparison (git merge-tree --write-tree against git rev-parse origin/main^{tree}) for the ancestry specimen, and the token test against main for the rename specimen. Those are the deciding instruments, and they are named as such. The transcribed figures are the readings those instruments overturned.

If the roster's convention is that historical receipts must also carry a re-derivation entry point, that is a change to every row in recurring_failure_mode.dag — several of which carry counts of the same kind — and it should be one deliberate pass over the authority rather than a condition on this row. Happy to take that as its own subject if it is wanted.

One correction to my own PR body while I am here, since it bears on how you would check this: the generated-artifact gate's log line reports rostered=36 adjudicated=36 matches=36 drifted=0 but names no paths, so a grep for this file in the CI log returns zero and that zero means nothing. The registry is the evidence — dag/gunbc/generated_artifact.dag names DesignFailureModesArtifact -> docs/design-failure-modes.md.

Head is ec8834047e1: identity join 64/64 with symmetric difference empty in both directions, docs/design-rung-drops.md and DESIGN.md byte-identical to main by object hash, origin/main an ancestor.

Head is now 9d7d5033e4b — please re-review, since review 58972 was raised against e711b4d64ce, two revisions back. Finding 2 is fixed there (twice: you named one stale-cardinality instance, verifying it surfaced a second). On finding 1 I am holding the contest, and there is a precedent that settles the shape of the question.

Precedent: gunbc#9937. The same §6 objection was raised against a restored gap-analysis row and initially ruled the same way. Applying it found the ruling too coarse, because that row held two figures that are different kinds of object — a present-tense corpus split with no producer (a plain §6 violation, deleted), and a quotation of a claim that had been made, endorsed, and later found to rest on a printer defect (kept, because deleting it would have deleted the evidence of the harm).

The operative test that came out of it: is the number EVIDENCE FOR the finding, or the SUBJECT OF it? Evidence needs a producer or it goes. A subject needs what made it wrong preserved. Applied per figure to the text this PR adds, rather than defended as a block:

figure evidence-for or subject-of
+76/-31, 3 files (gunbc#10100) subject — the wrong reading the specimen exists to record
5313-line partial revert (gunbc#9995) subject — a peer's wrong reading of the same defect
576/802/56, 245/461/23 subject — the inputs to the unsound size-to-content inference, and facts about a worktree that no longer exists
25 of 56, 15 of 23 absent subject — the absence that was read as deletion and was renames

None is evidence-for. Each is a wrong reading taken at a fixed past moment, and re-deriving any of them today returns the correct answer — which does not refresh the citation, it destroys the specimen. The deciding instruments are named per specimen, which is what §6 asks in substance: the tree-sha comparison (git merge-tree --write-tree against git rev-parse origin/main^{tree}) for the ancestry rung, and the token test against main for the rename rung. The transcribed figures are the readings those instruments overturned.

Where your rule does bite, and I want it on the record rather than won by silence. Applied honestly, the test flags figures in this row that I did not add and did not touch: 8 of 8 rename-destination files under-enrolled, at least 87 of their 103 identities never selected, and 1320 files / 845 modules / 475 omitted / 36 percent. Those are present-tense corpus measurements with no named producer — the #9937 case exactly, and a stronger instance of your finding than the three you cited. They are pre-existing text, several rows in this authority carry counts of the same kind, and rows approved earlier tonight do too.

So the convention question is real and it is roster-wide, not a property of this row. It is being routed as its own subject and will be decided against the #9937 test. Fixing it inside a single row's PR would leave the authority inconsistent and would single out the row a reviewer happened to open.

9d7d5033e4b: origin/main an ancestor, identity join 65/65 with symmetric difference empty in both directions and all 65 identities present in the projection, docs/design-rung-drops.md and DESIGN.md byte-identical to main by object hash, three-dot exactly 2 files / 4 insertions / 4 deletions.

…an around it

THIS MERGE COMMIT CARRIES CONTENT EDITS AND SAYS SO, because a merge that quietly changes
prose is the hardest kind of change to review. Both edits exist because main moved under
this branch: it was behind by 8 with THREE colliding commits (#10040, #10139, #10020), and
one of those three is this PR's own subject.

1. floor_cut_behavioural_equivalence: THE BLOCKER IS ENROLMENT, NOT EXPRESSIBILITY. When
   the row was drafted, no fixture was known to express the subject -- a missing harness,
   which DESIGN §4b treats as a genuine capability gap. #10139 falsified that: it filed the
   divergence as its own class and EXECUTED the discriminating fixture. §4b says where the
   refusal is authorable as fixture source, the evidence is enrollable there and declining
   it is specification-without-execution. So this row no longer stands on a missing
   capability; it stands on executed evidence nothing on the required path consumes, which
   is the unbuilt-but-buildable tier. The row now says that in its own words rather than
   letting the older framing imply the stronger claim, and the consequence is a shorter
   runway, not softer language. Raised by bright-ram-778, who drew the consequence I stopped
   one step short of.

2. The seventh-form receipt: CITE #10139, DO NOT RESTATE IT. An earlier draft described the
   interpreter-versus-emitted divergence in its own words. That divergence now has an owner
   with better evidence than prose -- realization_arms_diverge_on_whether_the_program_refuses,
   with an executed red -- so restating it would be a second authority for one fact,
   committed inside the row about subjects narrower than their claims. What remains is the
   half that is genuinely this row's: the divergence is #10139's subject, and the equivalence
   INSTRUMENT'S BLINDNESS to it is this one's.

The two docs/ projections are taken from main's side unresolved-by-hand and are STALE on
purpose: a projection is regenerated from its authority, never merged. Both are regenerated
in one pass when the window opens, which is after #10130 lands and rewrites
docs/design-failure-modes.md again.

…content

MERGE. Resolved the roster conflict additively -- main's three new rows
(absence_classifier_default_bucket,
green_reported_over_a_population_the_instrument_does_not_own,
external_mechanism_asserted_under_a_correct_conclusion) kept, mine appended
after. docs/design-failure-modes.md was regenerated rather than hand-resolved,
with gunbc rebuilt from the merged tree first.

ROW 1 DISSOLVES. The side chat held it pending a repair-crossing test against
the resolution-axis form of instrument_output_read_as_subject_content, which
#10130 owns. I ran the test and it does not survive:

- this row's repair applied to my specimen -- "establish that the instrument
  resolved to the subject you meant" -- means checking whether the base you diff
  from IS the merge base, which is checking C exactly. It closes.
- my warrant repair applied to specimen (ii) -- identifier-absence read as
  capability-absence -- has a condition, no renames occurred, so the warrant
  refuses the unsound reading. It closes too.

Both repairs close both classes. §4b keys rows on the repair, so this is ONE
class and a separate row was a second authority for a fact that row already
owned. Folded in as its next-rung formulation, which is what it actually is.

WHAT THE FOLD CONTRIBUTES: a name for the condition (P, Q, C, population, and
C's STANDING) and a ceiling the host row lacked. Its rungs are all POSITIONAL
and repaired by a better reader; C is stateful, so no reading-time rule reaches
it. Ceiling 4, demonstrated today by gunbc.diff_baseline's ExactReplayBoundary
carrying observed_relation: GitObservedMergeBase.

CORRECTED AT EVIDENCE GRAIN: the draft said "the backing is accidental". Wrong.
The observation genuinely backs P and supplies no backing for Q absent a
warrant; what is accidental is the AGREEMENT OF ANSWERS. "P happened to equal Q"
is not "P was evidence for Q" -- the same substitution this row names, performed
on the word evidence instead of on a set.

Added tidy-swift-334's retracted host-family partition as a fourth
resolution-axis receipt, where the adjacency is a SAMPLING WINDOW rather than a
version or a spelling.

ROW 2 stays its own row and its cross-reference is repointed, since the identity
it named no longer exists -- an unresolvable citation being precisely what the
ledger rosters elsewhere.
