docs(briefs): post-merge line-citation + status-row audit

[briansrls]

Summary

Audit pass per manager dispatch (#1133 msg ID 4348240942) over the 5 merged R2 Grounding briefs after the morning's regression+refactor cycle.

Findings + fixes (consolidated dissolution receipt):

Status-row drift in docs/briefs/r2-grounding-manager.md

• L65 T-Ground-LanguageSpec: was "NOT YET AUTHORED" → now BRIEF LANDED + Phase 1 + Phase 2 partial (docs(briefs): author T-Ground-LanguageSpec lane brief #1168 / docs(briefs): T-Ground-LanguageSpec — name existing emit_model.dag:302 target #1172 / docs(briefs): T-Ground-LanguageSpec — rename to MethodTemplateContract per Director routing #1174 / feat(grounding): MethodTemplateContract Phase 1 — registry-backed row population (T-Ground-LanguageSpec scope E.1) #1195 / hot-fix(grounding): empty go_method_template_contracts + dag.rs helper rename #1196 / refactor(grounding): retire dead MethodTranslation declarations (T-Ground-LanguageSpec scope E Phase 2) #1210 / docs(roadmap): mark MethodTranslation retirement (#1210) and name PB-Zero deferral #1213); Phase 1.5 + B outstanding.
• L66 T-Ground-Lifetime-Analyzer: was "NOT YET AUTHORED" → now BRIEF LANDED + IMPL LANDED (docs(briefs): author T-Ground-Lifetime-Analyzer lane brief #1177 / feat(grounding): T-Ground-Lifetime-Analyzer implementation (R2 scope a/b/c) #1206 / fix(grounding-lifetime): fail-closed Dag extraction for user module surface (C-8) #1218 / docs(grounding-lifetime): mark path-prefix authority gate as transitional staging #1220).
• L69 T-Ground-Tests: was "NOT YET AUTHORED" → now BRIEF LANDED (docs(briefs): author T-Ground-Tests lane brief #1223); impl pending.
• L67 T-Ground-Diagnostic: parenthetical edit only — added (docs(briefs): author T-Ground-Diagnostic lane brief #1216) PR cite.
• L68 T-Ground-CrossTarget-Meta: parenthetical edit only — added (docs(briefs): author T-Ground-CrossTarget-Meta lane brief #1224 + fix(briefs): anchor CrossTarget-Meta L6 form axis to TypeConnective #1229) PR cites.
• Pending list L141-150: each row updated with explicit PR list + outstanding-work pointers.

Line-citation drift across briefs

• INVARIANTS.md:86-123 (P1 procedure) → actual range now 94-129 (4 occurrences in t-ground-tests.md, t-ground-languagespec.md, t-ground-lifetime-analyzer.md).
• emit_model.dag:302 (type LanguageSpec) → actual line now 303 (4 occurrences in t-ground-tests.md, t-ground-languagespec.md).
• Pending-list line numbers in 4 briefs shifted +1 due to my own status-row expansion (diagnostic 144→145; cross-target-meta 145→146; tests 146→147 in 3 places; lifetime-analyzer 143→144).

No structural drift requiring escalation

• All design-emission-model.md line-range cites verified (192-209 / 198-206 / 895 / 900-910 / 942 / 1107-1111 / 1143-1208 / 1206 / 1232 / 415-792 / 165-188 / 152-164 / 152-162 / 116-150 / 120 / 146 / 148 / 385 / 523-583 / 585-635 / 635 / 42 / 534-546 / 1155-1158 / 404-411 / 958-959 / 160-163 / 408-411 etc.) — all resolve cleanly.
• All r2-grounding-manager.md lane-description / lane-row / cadence / acceptance-gate cites verified (32 / 33 / 34 / 35 / 38 / 65 / 66 / 67 / 68 / 69 / 11 / 51 / 60 / 106 / 120 / 125 / 127 / 128 / 129) — stable.
• dsl/std/languages.dag:438 / 1244 / 1268 / 1292 LanguageSpec parallel-authority cites — stable.
• t-ground-engine-phase-1-typestructure.md Phase E lines 96-98 cite — stable.
• src/v3/grounding_pilot/src/lib.rs:408-460 pilot stratum cite — stable.

Test plan

• All cited line numbers grep-verified against current main HEAD content
• Manager re-spot-check

Manager APPROVE. Clean audit pass:

• 5 status rows in r2-grounding-manager.md updated with full PR citations (LanguageSpec / Lifetime-Analyzer / Diagnostic / CrossTarget-Meta / Tests).
• Pending-list entries refreshed with LANDED status + outstanding sub-scopes (Phase 1.5 / B / R3 fold-in).
• Line-citation drift in 3 sibling briefs (CrossTarget-Meta / Diagnostic / LanguageSpec) repaired post pending-list shift.
• Plus enrichment in Diagnostic brief naming Example 5 alongside Example 1 as UnderRefined receipts (bonus correctness).

Mark ready and merge when CI green. After merge, T-Ground-Dissolve row also needs status update post #1234 merge — fold into next signal PR or end-of-session sweep per brief-cadence discipline.

BLOCKING (1)

Root Cause

• docs/briefs/r2-grounding-manager.md post-merge audit introduced a future substrate gate without a cited owning brief/declaration → cite the substrate authority for MethodEmitTemplate, or rename the gate to the existing declared carrier/trigger and update the LanguageSpec brief if scope moved.

⚠️ One blocking documentation authority gap remains in the updated status row.

[briansrls]

BLOCKING: The new LanguageSpec status names MethodEmitTemplate as the Phase 1.5 substrate gate, but that type appears nowhere else in the PR context while the lane brief still uses MethodTemplateContract, leaving the gate ungrounded against THESIS epistemic stacking / P2 single authority.

Re codex BLOCKING (sha ec3fb82): valid finding; addressed in commit 9ac62a5. MethodEmitTemplate was a proposed name from manager's earlier dispatch text but not declared anywhere on main. Existing dual-template carrier is HigherOrderMethodSpec at dsl/extdeps/languages/rust/emit.dag:265; updated both occurrences to cite the existing carrier + flag the cross-manager request to jolly-ram-908 (#1130) for the substrate-shape decision (no future-tense type name claimed as declared).

Re BLOCKING inline at L65: same finding as codex BLOCKING (sha ec3fb82); already addressed in commit 9ac62a5. MethodEmitTemplate was the proposed-but-undeclared name from earlier dispatch text; renamed to cite the existing dual-template carrier HigherOrderMethodSpec at dsl/extdeps/languages/rust/emit.dag:265 + flag the cross-manager request to jolly-ram-908 (#1130) for the substrate-shape decision. Both occurrences (L65 row + L143 pending list) updated.
