Summary

Post-merge correction to S-1 brief (PR #1711, merged at sha 126cb1f) per PB Mgr post-merge review at gunb-ai/gunbc#1134 comment-4375420840. Pop A property list in merged brief drifted from docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md §"Population A" (authoritative scope).

PB Mgr framing: "PB can still dispatch using the audit as the authoritative scope, but I recommend a docs-only correction PR to align... This is a scope-label correction, not a reversal of the S-1 ratifications."

What's corrected

Pop A updated to audit-canonical four coverage items (each verified against r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md §"Population A" with substrate-line citations):

  • A.1: derive_bound / master_theorem fail-closed boundary coverage
  • A.2: int_pow_bounded / ceil_log boundary coverage
  • A.3: peano_literal_materialization_cap + positive_descent_amount_from_positive_int / proportional_divisor_from_int_at_least_two cap coverage
  • A.4: meet_sub_value / join_sub_value ShrinkFactor-preservation coverage

Targets: dsl/std/induction.dag + dsl/std/termination.dag.

What's NOT changed

6 PM ratifications, dispatch sequence, cross-program asks routing, G-2 prereq chain, constraints — all unchanged. Scope-label correction only.

Discipline-correction noted

Third wrong Pop A list. Failure pattern: citation-without-verification. Discipline rule: grep-verify property/file/symbol names in PM-authored briefs against live source or authoritative audit. Cross-references aren't verification. Adding to discipline-tracking memory.

Test plan

  • PB Mgr (cool-stag-230 #1134) confirms corrected Pop A scope matches inventory
  • Director (zesty-bear-812 #828) acks correction (no structural review needed)

…(post-merge correction)

## Summary

PB Mgr post-merge review at [`#1134` comment-4375420840](#1134 (comment)) flagged that the merged S-1 brief (PR #1711, sha 126cb1f) had Pop A property naming drift from `docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md` §"Population A", which is the authoritative scope.

The merged version named (incorrectly):
- `prop_run_steps_termination` / `prop_run_steps_foo` (run-step termination)
- Peano materialization cap
- `behavior_round_trip` / `behavior_round_trip_bar` (behavior round-trip)

Audit-canonical scope is **four coverage items** on `dsl/std/induction.dag` + `dsl/std/termination.dag`:
- **A.1**: `derive_bound` / `master_theorem` fail-closed boundary coverage
- **A.2**: `int_pow_bounded` / `ceil_log` boundary coverage
- **A.3**: `peano_literal_materialization_cap` + `positive_descent_amount_from_positive_int` / `proportional_divisor_from_int_at_least_two` cap coverage
- **A.4**: `meet_sub_value` / `join_sub_value` `ShrinkFactor`-preservation coverage

Verified each item against the audit per substrate-line citations (`src/v3/std/induction.dag` :281 / :329 / :767 / :802 / :808 / :823 / :897; `src/v3/std/termination.dag` :140 / :146 / :162). Substrate live for all four; mechanical port from v2.

## Why this matters

Pop A dispatch is the immediately-dispatchable worker action upon S-1 brief landing. Wrong property names + wrong target surfaces would have routed the dispatched worker to migrate properties that don't match the v2-test receipts cool-stag's PB inventory tracks — worker either stalls or migrates similarly-named-but-different properties that don't preserve the actual G-2 ratchets. PB Mgr noted: *"PB can still dispatch using the audit as the authoritative scope, but I recommend a docs-only correction PR to align."* This commit lands that correction.

## Discipline-correction surfaced

This is the THIRD wrong Pop A property list in the brief. Failure mode timeline:
1. **First wrong list**: cool-stag's earlier read-back had markdown stripped by shell expansion; PM copied stripped property names into brief without grep-verifying against audit.
2. **Second wrong list**: Director sent "clean version" correction; PM applied it on aab4edc BUT the correction never made it to main (PR #1711 squash-merge took only the first commit; aab4edc stayed on branch only).
3. **Audit-canonical version**: cool-stag's post-merge review identified the actual authoritative source (`docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md` §"Population A") which I cited in cross-refs but never read.

Per `feedback_verify_thesis_claims`: when authoring at brief layer + citing an audit, **read the audit**, don't just cross-reference it. The pattern of relying on relayed property names without grep-verifying against the canonical source has now produced wrong content twice.

Discipline rule reinforced: every property/file/symbol name in PM-authored briefs must be grep-verified against either (a) live source code, or (b) the authoritative audit referenced in cross-refs. Citation-without-verification is the recurring failure mode across PR #1608 OTP false-citation, PR #1711 wrong Pop A list, and now this post-merge correction.

## R3 Debt Receipt

- **Debt paid**: Pop A scope aligned with population-coverage-audit; brief now consumable by PB Mgr's Pop A dispatch without scope-mismatch risk. PB Mgr explicitly named this as scope-label-correction-not-S-1-reversal.
- **Debt found + routed (process)**: citation-discipline failure mode catalogued. See "Discipline-correction surfaced" above. Adding to discipline-tracking memory: cross-references aren't verification; read the cited source.
- **No new debt**: brief structure unchanged; only Pop A scope narrative corrected. PB Mgr can dispatch Pop A using either this corrected brief or the audit directly.

## What's NOT changed

- 6 PM ratifications of PB input packet defaults — unchanged
- Dispatch sequence (Pop A → Dispatches 2/3/4 cascade-gated) — unchanged
- Cross-program asks routing (Substrate Decision 2 + Decision 5) — unchanged
- G-2 prereq chain enumeration — unchanged
- Constraints honored — unchanged

Pre-merge structural review still valid; this corrects a scope-narrative error that snuck through.

…-LensProducer-Retirement) — fix BLOCKING P2 facts-flow-forward violation

## Summary

Inline blocking review at PR #1713 line 154 (sha fce91b0) flagged that my brief's S-2 = `kernel_algebra_profile` authority migration **drops the actual audit S-2 = T-FixedPoint closure**, violating P2 facts-flow-forward from the parent audit.

Verified against `docs/audit/t-v2-retirement-audit.md` §1 STOP-condition table:

| Label | My brief had | Audit-canonical |
|---|---|---|
| S-1 | PM-authored T-V2-Retirement worker brief | PM-authored T-V2-Retirement worker brief ✓ |
| S-2 | substrate-fact-introduction for `kernel_algebra_profile` | **T-FixedPoint closed** (gate per r3-structure.md Lane 5: `pb_self_compile_fixed_point`) |
| S-3 | `verification.dag` convergence design call | **T-LensProducer-Retirement closed** (3 sub-gates) |
| S-4 | PB-Runtime trampoline live | PB-Runtime trampoline live ✓ |

S-1 + S-4 were correct; S-2 + S-3 were wrong. The kernel_algebra_profile authority migration (my-old-S-2) is actually the §3.2 prerequisite for G-1 (one of the v2-oracle test consumer dissolutions). The verification.dag convergence (my-old-S-3) is a G-2 prerequisite independent of S-1+S-2+S-3+S-4 per audit §"verification.dag convergence" position.

## Fix

§"G-2 prerequisite chain" rewritten to match audit S-N definitions:
- **S-2 — T-FixedPoint closed** (gate per r3-structure.md Lane 5; PB Mgr lane; R3 in flight). Cited audit §1 directly.
- **S-3 — T-LensProducer-Retirement closed** (3 sub-gates: `lens_apply.rs` / `lens_testgen.rs` / `regen_lens.rs`; PB Mgr lane). Cited audit §1 + design-pb-runtime-interpreter.md §5.1.
- **S-4 — PB-Runtime trampoline live** (unchanged; was already correct).
- Added explicit note that Decision 2 + Decision 5 routings are §3 audit prerequisites within G-1/G-2 implementation work, NOT in the S-N stack — clarifies the distinction between gate-stack labels (S-1/S-2/S-3/S-4) and routing decisions.

The rationale paragraph explicitly cites audit §1 framing: *"S-2 (T-FixedPoint) and S-3 (T-LensProducer-Retirement) are explicit prerequisites because their closure is what allows S-4 (PB-Runtime trampoline) to be the live bootstrap; without S-2+S-3, removing src/v2/stage0 from the workspace breaks the build chain even if PB-Runtime is technically present."*

## Discipline-correction surfaced

This is the **fourth** wrong content in this brief cycle. Failure pattern:
1. cool-stag's stripped-markdown read-back → wrong Pop A property names (1st)
2. Director's clean-version → orphaned correction (2nd)
3. cool-stag's audit-pointer in post-merge review → audit-canonical Pop A scope (3rd; this PR's main fix)
4. Inline review on S-2/S-3 labels → wrong gate-stack assignments (4th; this commit)

All four are the same citation-discipline failure: I cited the audit in cross-refs but didn't verify content against it. The audit was the canonical source for **all four** (Pop A scope + S-N labels) — should have been the FIRST thing I read end-to-end at brief-authoring time.

Discipline rule reinforced: **cross-references aren't verification; read the cited authority end-to-end at authoring time, not just when reviewers point at specific sections.** Adding to discipline-tracking memory.

## R3 Debt Receipt

- **Debt paid**: BLOCKING P2 facts-flow-forward violation corrected. S-N labels now match audit-canonical definitions. Brief no longer drops S-2 (T-FixedPoint) and S-3 (T-LensProducer-Retirement) from the prerequisite stack.
- **Debt found + routed (process)**: citation-discipline failure pattern is now four-instance. Adding hard rule to memory: when authoring a brief that cites an audit, read the audit end-to-end at authoring time. Cross-references aren't verification.
- **No new debt**: substantive S-N gate definitions consume audit text directly; no new disposition introduced.

PR #1714 base unchanged (Pop A scope-label correction); this commit corrects S-N labeling on the same branch as a follow-on fix in the same review cycle.

Inline blocking review (sha fce91b0, original line 154 on closed PR #1713) — addressed in b1bbece

The blocking review fired on closed PR #1713 but the file content is shared with PR #1714 (same brief on different branches). Verified the finding applies here too; pushed fix at b1bbece.

Verified against docs/audit/t-v2-retirement-audit.md §1 STOP-condition table:

Label My brief had Audit-canonical
S-1 PM-authored T-V2-Retirement worker brief PM-authored T-V2-Retirement worker brief ✓
S-2 substrate-fact-introduction for kernel_algebra_profile T-FixedPoint closed (Lane 5: pb_self_compile_fixed_point)
S-3 verification.dag convergence design call T-LensProducer-Retirement closed (3 sub-gates)
S-4 PB-Runtime trampoline live PB-Runtime trampoline live ✓

S-1 + S-4 were correct; S-2 + S-3 were wrong. Reviewer correctly flagged this as P2 facts-flow-forward violation — my brief dropped the audit-defined S-2 (T-FixedPoint) and S-3 (T-LensProducer-Retirement) which are the gates that allow S-4 (PB-Runtime trampoline) to be the live bootstrap.

Fix at b1bbece:

  • §"G-2 prerequisite chain" rewritten to match audit S-N definitions
  • S-2: T-FixedPoint closed (gate per r3-structure.md Lane 5)
  • S-3: T-LensProducer-Retirement closed (3 sub-gates per design-pb-runtime-interpreter.md §5.1)
  • S-4: PB-Runtime trampoline live (unchanged; was already correct)
  • Added explicit note that Decision 2 + Decision 5 routings are §3 audit prerequisites within G-1/G-2 implementation, NOT in the S-N stack — clarifies the distinction between gate-stack labels and routing decisions

Pattern note: this is the fourth wrong content in this brief cycle. Same citation-discipline failure: cited audit in cross-refs but didn't verify content. Failure timeline:

  1. cool-stag's stripped-markdown read-back → wrong Pop A property names
  2. Director's clean-version → orphaned correction (didn't reach main)
  3. cool-stag's audit-pointer in post-merge → audit-canonical Pop A scope (this PR's main fix)
  4. Inline review on S-2/S-3 → wrong gate-stack labels (this commit)

Discipline rule reinforced (hard rule going to memory): when authoring a brief that cites an audit, read the audit end-to-end at authoring time. Cross-references aren't verification.

Inline blocking review at line 158 (S-3) — already addressed in b1bbece

Same review batch as the S-2 finding at line 154; both addressed in the single fix at b1bbece38.

Verified HEAD state: line 166 reads ### S-3 — T-LensProducer-Retirement closed (audit §1 row "S-3") — audit-canonical per docs/audit/t-v2-retirement-audit.md §1 STOP-condition table.

The verification.dag convergence design call (my-old-S-3) is now correctly framed in the §"Note on Decision 2 + Decision 5 routings" subsection as a G-2 prerequisite independent of the S-N stack per audit §"verification.dag convergence" position — not a label dropping the actual S-3 gate.

No new fix needed; same prior fix covers both S-2 and S-3 (and the prior commit message + PR reply at #4375507718 explicitly enumerated both).

…CKING P2 single-authority violation

## Summary

Inline blocking review (sha fce91b0, line 117 on closed PR #1713) flagged that my surface-routing summary implicitly placed A.1 (`derive_bound` / `master_theorem`) in `dsl/std/termination.dag`. Audit (`docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md` §"Population A" A.1) explicitly says: *"v3-side substrate analog LIVE — fn derive_bound(...) declared at src/v3/std/induction.dag:897; fn master_theorem(form: RecurrenceForm) -> CostBound at :823."*

Both functions live at `induction.dag`, not `termination.dag`. My "A.1 master_theorem-recurrence indirectly via 'recurrence' form" framing was fabricated — there's no audit support for routing master_theorem through termination.dag. The reviewer correctly flagged this as P2 single-authority/facts-flow-forward — the Pop A worker would have looked at the wrong surface.

## Fix

§"Live v3 surfaces" rewritten with explicit per-symbol substrate-line citations directly from audit:

**Before** (HEAD pre-fix):
```
- `dsl/std/induction.dag` (A.1, A.2, A.4)
- `dsl/std/termination.dag` (A.3 cap + A.1 master_theorem-recurrence indirectly via `recurrence` form)
```

**After** (this commit):
```
- `dsl/std/induction.dag` — A.1 (`derive_bound`:897, `master_theorem`:823), A.2 (`int_pow_bounded`:767, `ceil_log`:802, `ceil_log_iter`:808), A.4 (`meet_sub_value`:281, `join_sub_value`:329)
- `dsl/std/termination.dag` — A.3 (`peano_literal_materialization_cap`:140, `positive_descent_amount_from_positive_int`:146, `proportional_divisor_from_int_at_least_two`:162)
```

A.1 + A.2 + A.4 routed exclusively to `induction.dag`. A.3 alone routed to `termination.dag`. Each symbol cited with its substrate-line number per audit.

## Discipline-correction surfaced

This is the **fifth** wrong content in this brief cycle. The pattern continues: surface routing summary added a fabricated "indirect via recurrence form" claim that wasn't supported by audit. Citation-without-verification at the summary-line level — even though I cited audit lines correctly in the per-item descriptions (line 105 / A.1 has correct `induction.dag:897 + :823`), the summary §"Live v3 surfaces" introduced a fabricated claim.

Failure mode for THIS instance: when summarizing per-item details into a high-level surface-routing list, the summarization step itself can fabricate content without the per-item sources flagging it. Fix shape: summaries must cite the same source as per-item details, with line numbers, so the summary verifies against the audit at every layer.

Adding to discipline-tracking memory: when authoring a surface-routing summary in a brief, every per-symbol routing must cite its substrate-line number directly from the audit. No "indirect" / "via" framing without explicit audit support.

## R3 Debt Receipt

- **Debt paid**: BLOCKING P2 single-authority violation corrected. Surface routing now lists per-symbol substrate-line citations directly from audit; no fabricated "indirect" routing claims.
- **Debt found + routed (process)**: fifth instance of citation-discipline failure pattern. Hard rule reinforced: summaries must cite at every layer; "indirect via X form" framings without audit support are fabrications waiting to be caught.
- **No new debt**: per-symbol substrate-line citations consume audit text directly.

PR #1714 base unchanged (Pop A scope-label correction); this is the third commit in the same review cycle (Pop A scope at fce91b0 + S-N labels at b1bbece + surface routing here).

Inline blocking review at line 117 (sha fce91b0) — addressed in 4cdd59a

Verified: my surface-routing summary on HEAD (line 122 pre-fix) implicitly placed A.1 (derive_bound/master_theorem) in dsl/std/termination.dag via fabricated "indirect via recurrence form" framing. Audit explicitly says both live at dsl/std/induction.dag (:897 + :823).

Fix at 4cdd59a:

Before:

- `dsl/std/induction.dag` (A.1, A.2, A.4)
- `dsl/std/termination.dag` (A.3 cap + A.1 master_theorem-recurrence indirectly via `recurrence` form)

After:

- `dsl/std/induction.dag` — A.1 (`derive_bound`:897, `master_theorem`:823), A.2 (`int_pow_bounded`:767, `ceil_log`:802, `ceil_log_iter`:808), A.4 (`meet_sub_value`:281, `join_sub_value`:329)
- `dsl/std/termination.dag` — A.3 (`peano_literal_materialization_cap`:140, `positive_descent_amount_from_positive_int`:146, `proportional_divisor_from_int_at_least_two`:162)

A.1 + A.2 + A.4 routed exclusively to induction.dag. A.3 alone routed to termination.dag. Each symbol cited with its substrate-line number per audit.

Pattern note: this is the fifth wrong content in this brief cycle. New failure-mode shape: per-item details (line 105) had correct citations, but the high-level surface-routing summary added a fabricated "indirect via X form" claim that wasn't in audit. Summarization step fabricated content the per-item sources didn't justify.

Discipline rule (added to memory): summaries must cite at every layer. "Indirect via X form" framings without explicit audit support are fabrications. When authoring a surface-routing summary, every per-symbol routing must cite its substrate-line number directly from the audit.

Codex BLOCKING review (sha aab4edc) — both findings already addressed in PR #1714 HEAD

This codex review fired on sha aab4edc (the orphaned commit on closed PR #1713's branch — Director's "clean version" Pop A correction that never reached main per PR #1711 squash-merge). Both findings are valid against aab4edc but already corrected in PR #1714's HEAD via prior commits.

Verified HEAD state (PR #1714 at sha 4cdd59a):

Finding 1 — S-N labels reused for routing work → addressed in b1bbece38:

  • Line 158: ### S-2 — T-FixedPoint closed (audit §1 row "S-2") ✓
  • Line 166: ### S-3 — T-LensProducer-Retirement closed (audit §1 row "S-3") ✓
  • S-4 unchanged (was already correct: PB-Runtime trampoline live)
  • Decision 2 (kernel_algebra_profile) + Decision 5 (verification.dag convergence) explicitly framed in §"Note on Decision 2 + Decision 5 routings" as G-1/G-2 implementation routings, NOT S-N stack items

Finding 2 — Pop A property-to-surface mapping → addressed in 4cdd59a56:

  • Line 121: dsl/std/induction.dag — A.1 (derive_bound:897, master_theorem:823), A.2 (...), A.4 (...) ✓
  • A.3 alone at dsl/std/termination.dag per audit
  • Fabricated "indirect via recurrence form" claim removed
  • Each symbol cited with substrate-line number directly from audit

Same review batch as the inline comments at lines 117 / 154 / 158; all addressed in b1bbece + 4cdd59a commits on PR #1714.

Pattern note: this codex review is consistent with the inline-review batch — same audit-canonical findings flagged from a different reviewer angle. All five wrong-content instances in this brief cycle are now corrected on PR #1714 HEAD. Adding hard discipline rule to memory: when authoring a brief that cites an audit, read the audit end-to-end at authoring time, with substrate-line citations for every per-symbol claim. Cross-references aren't verification; per-item details aren't summary verification; "indirect via X form" framings without audit support are fabrications.

1. Story of the diff

This PR corrects the S-1 worker brief so Pop A is no longer described as three older/internal v2 receipt buckets, but as the four audited Population A coverage items from r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md. The load-bearing change is the replacement of the old scope list with A.1–A.4: fail-closed derive_bound / master_theorem coverage, bounded integer power / log coverage, Peano/descent/divisor cap coverage, and ShrinkFactor preservation coverage at docs/briefs/r3-tv2-retirement-s1-worker-brief.md:103-111. The brief also clarifies why this is immediately dispatchable: all four items are asserted live on the v3 side and do not require R2 Evaluator / PB-Runtime / Substrate-authority migration first at docs/briefs/r3-tv2-retirement-s1-worker-brief.md:118. Closure remains ratchet-oriented: the worker output is one PR or four bounded sub-PRs preserving the audited Pop A properties before downstream G-2 cleanup at docs/briefs/r3-tv2-retirement-s1-worker-brief.md:126.

2. Invariant categories

  1. LAYER MODEL — N/A. The diff is documentation-only; it does not change Dag substrate types, compiler implementation, cross-pass carriers, or dag.rs-level modeling.
  2. INVARIANTS.md + modeling-discipline.md — Finding, NON-BLOCKING. Boundary Discipline / single authority: the brief now names two different roots for the same “live v3” Pop A surfaces. The summary says to port onto live v3 dsl/std/induction.dag + dsl/std/termination.dag at docs/briefs/r3-tv2-retirement-s1-worker-brief.md:16, while the authoritative A.1–A.4 bullets point workers to src/v3/std/induction.dag and src/v3/std/termination.dag line anchors at docs/briefs/r3-tv2-retirement-s1-worker-brief.md:105-111. The target list repeats the dsl/std/... roots at docs/briefs/r3-tv2-retirement-s1-worker-brief.md:121-122. For a worker brief whose purpose is to align scope with the population audit, this creates avoidable ambiguity about the authoritative v3 surface; I would normalize the summary/target list to the same root used in the numbered coverage items, unless both roots are intentionally distinct and the distinction is documented here.
  3. CODING.md — N/A. No Rust implementation code, function shape, helper placement, error/result carrier, or method/free-function style is changed.
  4. TESTING.md — Compliant. Although this PR does not add tests directly, the brief’s dispatch is behavior-driven: each coverage item names the property to preserve rather than only the old v2 test name, for example fail-closed ErrorBound behavior at docs/briefs/r3-tv2-retirement-s1-worker-brief.md:105, bounded int_pow_bounded / ceil_log cases at docs/briefs/r3-tv2-retirement-s1-worker-brief.md:107, cap behavior at docs/briefs/r3-tv2-retirement-s1-worker-brief.md:109, and ShrinkFactor preservation at docs/briefs/r3-tv2-retirement-s1-worker-brief.md:111.
  5. LOCKED DESIGN DECISIONS — N/A. The diff references the population coverage audit, readiness/read-back context, and the S-1/G-1/G-2 dispatch chain, but it does not reference or alter a locked thesis/design decision in the changed lines.
  6. TRACKED vs UNTRACKED DEBT — Compliant. The split option is bounded and has a named closure: docs/briefs/r3-tv2-retirement-s1-worker-brief.md:126 limits the work to one PR or four sub-PRs “per coverage item,” with PB Manager confirmation that the property ratchets are preserved. That reads as a tracked bridge, not an open-ended scaffold.

3. Verdict

APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS. The substantive Pop A scope correction looks aligned with the audit-driven, ratchet-preserving intent, and the dispatch is bounded. I would clean up the dsl/std/... versus src/v3/std/... target ambiguity before relying on this brief operationally, but it is a documentation consistency issue rather than a substrate or implementation blocker.

…-canonical — fix gpt-5-5-pro Boundary Discipline finding

## Summary

gpt-5-5-pro review at sha fce91b0 (manual trigger) flagged Boundary Discipline / single-authority finding (NON-BLOCKING): summary at line 16 + surface-routing list at line 121-122 used `dsl/std/induction.dag` + `dsl/std/termination.dag` while per-item details at lines 105-111 cited `src/v3/std/induction.dag:N` substrate-line anchors. Two different roots for the same v3 surfaces — avoidable ambiguity for a brief whose purpose is audit-aligned worker dispatch.

## Verification

Both files exist:
- `dsl/std/induction.dag` — older shared v2/v3 mirror (header: "Inductive type structure and structural recursion")
- `src/v3/std/induction.dag` — v3-staged mirror (header: "v3-staged inductive structure ... Bootstrap-staged mirror of `dsl/std/induction.dag` for v3")

Both contain `fn derive_bound` + `fn master_theorem` (parallel-authority pattern). `src/v3/std/...` is the v3-staged authority that the v3 compiler reads; `dsl/std/...` is the shared/older v2-aligned authority. The audit (`docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md` §"Population A") consistently cites `src/v3/std/...` as the v3-side substrate analog — that's the canonical v3-property-test target.

## Fix

Normalized brief to use `src/v3/std/...` consistently:

- Line 16 (summary): `dsl/std/induction.dag + dsl/std/termination.dag` → `src/v3/std/induction.dag + src/v3/std/termination.dag` (with rationale: "audit-canonical root; v3-staged authority that v3 compiler reads")
- Lines 121-122 (surface routing): `dsl/std/induction.dag` → `src/v3/std/induction.dag`; `dsl/std/termination.dag` → `src/v3/std/termination.dag` (with rationale: "audit-canonical v3-staged authority root")

Per-item details at lines 105-111 already used `src/v3/std/...` correctly; no change there. All references in the brief now consistent.

## Discipline-correction surfaced

This is the **sixth** wrong-content instance in this brief cycle. New failure mode: parallel-authority confusion at root level — `dsl/std/...` and `src/v3/std/...` both exist, both contain the relevant functions, but only one (`src/v3/std/...`) is the v3-property-test target per audit. Without explicit verification of which root the audit cites, the brief drifted toward `dsl/std/...` in summary lines while details correctly cited `src/v3/std/...`.

Pattern noted: when authoring a brief that names parallel-authority surfaces, **explicitly verify which root the audit cites** before composing summary text. The "v3-staged mirror" framing in `src/v3/std/induction.dag`'s file header is the giveaway: `src/v3/std/...` is the v3-canonical authority.

Discipline rule (added to memory): for parallel-authority surfaces (e.g., `dsl/std/X.dag` + `src/v3/std/X.dag`), authoring discipline requires verifying which root is canonical for the consumer. The audit citation is the authoritative source; cross-reference against file headers + grep for canonical declarations.

## R3 Debt Receipt

- **Debt paid**: NON-BLOCKING Boundary Discipline / single-authority finding corrected. Brief now uses `src/v3/std/...` consistently across summary + per-item details + surface routing.
- **Debt found + routed (process)**: parallel-authority root confusion is the sixth instance of citation-discipline failure pattern in this brief cycle. Each instance has a slightly different shape (Pop A property names; S-N labels; surface routing fabrication; root-path normalization). Adding to discipline-tracking memory: cite-then-verify is the pattern; cross-references aren't verification at any layer.
- **No new debt**: per-symbol substrate-line citations remain audit-canonical; only the root path normalized.

PR #1714 base unchanged (Pop A scope-label correction); this commit normalizes root paths in the same review cycle.

gpt-5-5-pro review (sha fce91b0) — NON-BLOCKING finding addressed in cfc8635

Verified: both dsl/std/induction.dag and src/v3/std/induction.dag exist (parallel-authority pattern; src/v3/std/... is v3-staged mirror per its file header: "v3-staged inductive structure... Bootstrap-staged mirror of dsl/std/induction.dag for v3"). Audit (r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md §"Population A") consistently cites src/v3/std/... — that's the canonical v3-property-test target.

My brief mixed roots: summary (line 16) + surface-routing list (lines 121-122) used dsl/std/... while per-item details (lines 105-111) correctly used src/v3/std/.... Reviewer correctly flagged as Boundary Discipline / single-authority issue.

Fix at cfc8635:

  • Line 16 (summary): dsl/std/... → src/v3/std/... with rationale "audit-canonical root; v3-staged authority that v3 compiler reads"
  • Lines 121-122 (surface routing): same normalization
  • Per-item details unchanged (was already correct)

All references in the brief now consistent on src/v3/std/....

Pattern note: this is the sixth wrong-content instance in this brief cycle. New failure mode: parallel-authority confusion at root level — both dsl/std/X.dag and src/v3/std/X.dag exist with identical function names; only one is the canonical v3-property-test target per audit. Without verifying which root the audit cites, summary text drifted toward dsl/std/....

Discipline rule (added to memory): for parallel-authority surfaces (e.g., dsl/std/X.dag + src/v3/std/X.dag), authoring requires explicitly verifying which root is canonical for the consumer. The audit citation is authoritative; cross-reference against file headers (the "v3-staged mirror" framing in src/v3/std/...'s header is the giveaway).
