Summary

  • Brian directive 2026-05-06: "universal substrate, ratify defaults"
  • Resolves Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier (was OPEN per r3-program-plan.md §10.3) with 6 sub-decisions ratified
  • S3 (MachineConstraint<C> carrier design) dispatch unblocked on machine-constraint side

The 6 ratified sub-decisions

# Sub-question Ratified decision
1 Which machine-constraint axes are R3-scope? MachineWidth<bits> only. RegisterClass<R> / EndianMode<E> / alignment / signedness-as-axis deferred post-R3 absent a closure-gate forcing them.
2 Interaction-lookup substrate shape? Parametric Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint> type-level construction. Closed-enumeration lookup-maps rejected (bridges per feedback_no_textual_enforcement_bridges).
3 Type-level spelling? Int<64> = Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> parametrically. Surface intuition is the literal product Int × MachineWidth<64>; substrate spelling is parametric. Equivalent under both algebra-side options per PR #1815 paydown.
4 Approximate-algebra layering? Algebra approx + machine approx as independent composing axes. Real<64> = Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>, MachineWidth<64>> carries both layers explicitly per S8 named-axiom-relaxation discipline; collapse only at demo site when layers happen to match.
5 Class 1 demonstration breadth? ≥3 algebra×constraint pairs is minimum, not target. Broader coverage follows automatically once parser handles generic interaction syntax.
6 Target-specificity boundary? MachineConstraint<C> is UNIVERSAL substrate (Brian directive). Every target carries machine-constraint facts as substrate; targets lacking native machine-width semantics (Python int / float) handle the omission at Grounding-level discharge (target-conditioned lowering, NOT target-conditioned substrate).

…+ 5 PM defaults (Brian directive)

Brian directive 2026-05-06: "universal substrate, ratify defaults".

Resolves Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier (was OPEN per r3-program-plan.md §10.3)
with 6 sub-decisions ratified:

1. Axes in R3 scope: MachineWidth<bits> only. RegisterClass<R> / EndianMode<E>
   / alignment / signedness-as-axis deferred post-R3.
2. Interaction substrate shape: parametric Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint>
   type-level construction. Closed-enumeration lookup-maps rejected (bridges).
3. Type-level spelling: Int<64> = Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>>
   parametrically. Equivalent under both algebra-side options per PR #1815.
4. Approximate-algebra layering: algebra approx + machine approx are
   independent composing axes. Real<64> = Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>,
   MachineWidth<64>> carries both layers per S8 discipline.
5. Class 1 demonstration breadth: ≥3 algebra×constraint pairs is minimum,
   not target. Broader coverage follows automatically once parser handles
   generic interaction syntax.
6. Target-specificity: MachineConstraint<C> is UNIVERSAL substrate (Brian
   directive). Every target carries machine-constraint facts as substrate;
   targets lacking native machine-width semantics (Python int/float) handle
   omission at Grounding-level discharge — target-conditioned lowering,
   NOT target-conditioned substrate.

Substrate Mgr S3 dispatch unblocked on machine-constraint side; independent
of T-Numeric-Construction algebra-side Option A vs B selection per PR #1815
(interaction semantics carries through under either).

Updates:

  • Thinking: 12s wall

APPROVE — docs-only diff ratifying Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier scope. Both edits are consistent (the schedule doc and program-plan ledger row reflect the same 6 sub-decisions and RATIFIED status), no code substrate is touched, and the modeling content aligns with INVARIANTS (universal substrate + Grounding-level discharge for targets lacking machine-width semantics is the fail-closed/single-authority shape). Nothing in this diff to flag.

…ian clarifying inline

Brian clarifying directive 2026-05-06 on the 6 sub-decisions:

1. AXES — accept MachineWidth<bits> only; add separation-of-facts/concerns
   discipline note: algebra/machine-constraint/target-lowering are distinct
   axes. Integer modeling is the canonical exercise.

2. INTERACTION SHAPE (revised from "parametric Compose<...>" framing):
   "these models interact a la rest apis interacting — scalable / no dual
   representations (.dag generated)". The interaction substrate is
   .dag-DECLARED + .dag-GENERATED, never hand-coded. Hard constraint: no
   dual representations — any Rust counterpart must be generated, never
   hand-maintained (feedback_isomorphism_or_generation_for_mirrors +
   feedback_no_generated_code_on_disk).

3. SPELLING — Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> ratified ("ok fine").
   Note added: the interaction substrate elaborating Compose<...> is
   .dag-generated per sub-decision 2.

4. LAYERING — independent composing axes ratified ("ok fine"). Real<64> =
   Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>, MachineWidth<64>> stays.

5. DEMONSTRATION BREADTH — strengthened: "3 is not a target, we shouldn't
   be 'targeting' modeling, we are just doing our best job to faithfully
   represent the concepts". Closure criterion is "concept is faithfully
   modeled", not "≥3 pairs land". 3-pair demonstration is minimum
   existence proof, not closure target.

6. TARGET-SPECIFICITY — universal substrate stays. Python lowering uses
   faithful target-available primitives (numpy.uint8 / ctypes.c_uint8 /
   explicit literal-bits), NOT omission. "if python lacks — we would have
   to actually represent the struct using something that python faithfully
   provides — i.e. either literal bits or otherwise". Faithful
   representation > target-conditioned omission.

Updates docs/r3-program-plan.md §10.3 Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier row +
docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md §S3 ratified-scope block to reflect

Re: claude APPROVE at 64ebf28b — noted

APPROVE with no findings recorded on the original commit. Subsequent push 8f5483bcd elaborates sub-decisions 1/2/5/6 per Brian clarifying inline 2026-05-06:

  • §S3 sub-decision 2 reframed from generic "parametric Compose" to REST-API-style typed-contract interactions (Brian: "models interact a la rest apis interacting"); hard constraint: .dag-generated, no dual representations
  • §S3 sub-decision 5 strengthened: closure criterion is "concept faithfully modeled", not pair-counting (Brian: "3 is not a target, we shouldn't be 'targeting' modeling")
  • §S3 sub-decision 6 elaborated: Python lowering uses faithful target-available primitives (numpy.uint8 / ctypes.c_uint8 / literal-bits), NOT omission

These are refinements of the same RATIFIED disposition; the original APPROVE reasoning (consistent cross-doc edits, no INVARIANTS violation, fail-closed/single-authority shape) carries forward to the elaborated version.

…tions

Two major Director ratifications absorbed:

1. Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier RATIFIED at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385530115 (Brian directive 2026-05-06: "universal
   substrate, ratify defaults"; PR #1817 queued). 6 sub-decisions:
   - MachineWidth<bits> only for R3; defer RegisterClass / EndianMode
     / Alignment / signedness post-R3
   - Parametric Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint> type-level
     interaction shape (lookup-maps REJECTED — AlgebraMachineProduct
     record-keyed table form retracted)
   - Int<64> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> (algebra-side
     options A and B preserve interaction semantics)
   - Real<64> ≡ Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>, MachineWidth<64>>
     (algebra approx + machine approx as independent composing axes)
   - ≥3 pairs is minimum, not target
   - UNIVERSAL substrate: every target carries machine-constraint
     facts; targets without native machine-width semantics handle
     omission at Grounding-level discharge (target-conditioned
     lowering NOT target-conditioned substrate)

   Reframed: S3 brief Phase-1, S3 Phase-3/4 emission entries,
   S8 Phase-1/2/3 (ApproximateField<Real> → ApproximateField<Rational>;
   AlgebraMachineProduct → Compose<...>), S9 emission entries.

2. Q-Unit-1-Recanvas RATIFIED Measure<Q, S> at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385539791. valiant-ibex-312's substrate-state
   grep caught Unit<Q, S> collision with kernel Unit at
   dsl/std/types.dag:176; Director ratified Measure<Q, S> as
   outer carrier name (conventional in scientific computing;
   no dsl/std/ collision).

   Reframed: Unit/Quantity worker brief throughout (Unit<Q,S> →
   Measure<Q,S>; dsl/std/units.dag → dsl/std/measure.dag); canvas
   spec sections + sketch products (Refined<Measure<Time, ...>...>);
   R4 carve-out C6 with informal/formal name disambiguation note.

Both rename + reshape are now consistent across S3 / S8 / S9 /
Unit-Q briefs + canvas + R4 routing. Workers (valiant-ant-72 on S3,
quiet-boar-160 on S8, proud-lynx-311 on S9, valiant-ibex-312 on
Unit-Q) all dispatch against the ratified shape.

1. Story of the diff

This PR turns Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier from an open scoping question into a ratified R3 substrate design commitment. The schedule doc replaces a vague “carriers needed” note with six concrete defaults: R3 only models MachineWidth<bits> as the machine axis, algebra and machine constraints compose through a .dag-generated interaction substrate, Int<64> elaborates as Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>>, approximate algebra and machine width remain independent axes, demonstration pairs are evidence rather than the target, and machine constraints are universal substrate facts even when target lowering must emulate them. docs/r3-program-plan.md:981 mirrors that decision by moving the Q row from OPEN to RATIFIED and binding the S3 follow-up to .dag-generated interactions rather than hand-maintained Rust mirrors.

The one substantive issue is that the new ratification says closure should no longer be phrased as “≥3 pairs land,” but the schedule’s actual closure predicate remains the old pair-counting predicate in the same hunk.

2. Invariant categories

  1. LAYER MODEL — Compliant. docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:55 explicitly declares MachineConstraint<C> as “universal substrate” and treats target-specific behavior as faithful lowering/projection, not as target-conditioned substrate omission; that preserves the substrate-vs-implementation boundary.
  2. INVARIANTS.md + modeling-discipline.md — Finding, BLOCKING. docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:54 says: “Faithful representation of the concept is the closure criterion; pair-counting is not” and “Closure-gate predicate phrasing should reflect ‘concept is faithfully modeled’ not ‘≥3 pairs land’.” But the same diff leaves the schedule closure predicate at docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:60 as “≥3 algebra×constraint pairs emit to target primitives.” This violates Boundary Discipline / single authority and facts flow forward: the ratified design and the executable closure instruction now name different success criteria. Fix by updating the closure predicate line to the faithful-modeling criterion, with the 3-pair set framed only as a minimum evidence/demo receipt if that is still intended.
  3. CODING.md — N/A. This is a documentation-only diff; it adds no Rust functions, methods, result shapes, helpers, or implementation APIs to evaluate against the Rust coding conventions.
  4. TESTING.md — N/A. This is a docs ratification with no executable behavior or test harness change; the only test-like obligation is documentation consistency, covered by the finding above rather than a new unit/integration test requirement.
  5. LOCKED DESIGN DECISIONS — Compliant. The PR makes the design transition explicit: docs/r3-program-plan.md:981 moves Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier to “RATIFIED 2026-05-06” and records the Brian directives, while docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:57 binds the S3 worker brief to .dag-declared/generated interaction substrate rather than silent divergence.
  6. TRACKED vs UNTRACKED DEBT — Compliant. The deferred axes are bounded and trigger-gated: docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:50 limits R3 scope to MachineWidth<bits> and defers RegisterClass<R>, EndianMode<E>, alignment, and signedness-as-axis “post-R3 absent a closure-gate forcing them,” which is a documented scope boundary rather than an untracked scaffold.

3. Verdict

REQUEST_CHANGES

The substrate direction is mostly disciplined: universal carrier, independent axes, generated interaction substrate, and no hand-maintained mirrors are all the right shape. But the new ratified closure criterion conflicts with the still-present schedule closure predicate, and because this PR’s purpose is to ratify the substrate design, that inconsistency should be fixed before merge.

…penai-pro BLOCKING fix)

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at sha 8f5483b on PR #1817 caught a real
internal inconsistency: ratification text said "Faithful representation of
the concept is the closure criterion; pair-counting is not" but the actual
closure predicates across r3-structure.md / r3-program-plan.md /
r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md still phrased Pass as "≥3 pairs emit to
target primitives". This violated single-authority + facts-flow-forward.

Fix: align all 5 Pass-condition / closure-predicate locations to the
faithful-modeling criterion ratified in Q-MachineConstraint sub-decision 5:

- docs/r3-program-plan.md:74 (gate #60 Pass condition in §1.4 ledger):
  "Gate Pass = concept faithfully modeled (per Brian directive 2026-05-06)
  — once substrate carries algebra + machine-constraint as independent
  composing axes with .dag-generated interaction substrate, all valid pairs
  work by construction. Minimum existence-proof evidence: 3 pairs lower
  without v2-fallback (evidence, not target)."
- docs/r3-program-plan.md:257 (§1.8 canonical ledger row): "concept
  faithfully modeled... min existence-proof = Int<64>/Real<64>/Nat<8>
  lower without v2-fallback (evidence, not target)"
- docs/r3-program-plan.md:430 (§1.4 Class 1 representative gap-test):
  "Representative gap-test (minimum existence-proof, NOT target) — substrate
  faithfully modeling algebra + machine-constraint separation IS the
  closure criterion; the 3 pairs below are the minimum existence-proof"
- docs/r3-structure.md:173 (canonical gate description): "Pass condition:
  concept faithfully modeled... Minimum existence-proof evidence (not
  closure target): 3 pairs lower without v2-fallback"
- docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:60 (S3 closure predicate cite):
  "Pass = concept faithfully modeled... 3-pair set is minimum
  existence-proof evidence, NOT the closure target"

Sub-decision 5 explanatory text retains "≥3 pairs land" as anti-reference
to the prior phrasing for traceability of the change.

openai-pro BLOCKING — fix in e1ea7cfae

Valid finding. Sub-decision 5 ratified "faithful representation IS the closure criterion; pair-counting is not" — but the actual closure predicate text at line 60 (and matching gate Pass conditions in canonical authority) still phrased Pass as "≥3 pairs emit to target primitives". Internal authority drift.

Fix updates all 5 Pass-condition locations to the faithful-modeling criterion:

Location Before After
docs/r3-program-plan.md:74 (§1.4 gate #60 Pass condition) "gate Pass = all 3 interaction-derived programs produce 0 diagnostics + emitted artifact compiles to expected target primitive" "Gate Pass = concept faithfully modeled — once substrate carries algebra + machine-constraint as independent composing axes with .dag-generated interaction substrate, all valid pairs work by construction. Minimum existence-proof evidence: 3 pairs lower without v2-fallback (evidence, not target)."
docs/r3-program-plan.md:257 (§1.8 ledger row) "conjunctive closure: Int<64>/Real<64>/Nat<8> interaction-modeling" "concept faithfully modeled... min existence-proof = Int<64> / Real<64> / Nat<8> lower without v2-fallback (evidence, not target)"
docs/r3-program-plan.md:430 (§1.4 Class 1 gap-test) "Representative gap-test: ... Demonstrated against ≥3 algebra×constraint pairs:" "Representative gap-test (minimum existence-proof, NOT target): substrate faithfully modeling separation IS the closure criterion; the 3 pairs below are the minimum existence-proof"
docs/r3-structure.md:173 (canonical gate description) "Pass condition: ≥3 algebra×constraint pairs lower through stage0 emission without v2-fallback" "Pass condition: concept faithfully modeled... Minimum existence-proof evidence (not closure target): 3 pairs lower without v2-fallback"
docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:60 (S3 cite) "Class 1 5-criteria Pass: substrate carriers + parser handles generic interaction syntax + ≥3 algebra×constraint pairs emit to target primitives" "Pass = concept faithfully modeled — substrate carries algebra and machine-constraint as independent axes; interaction substrate is .dag-generated; parser handles generic Compose<...> interaction syntax; concrete types are derived consequences. The 3-pair set lowering without v2-fallback is minimum existence-proof evidence, NOT the closure target"

Sub-decision 5 explanatory text retains "≥3 pairs land" as anti-reference to the prior phrasing for traceability of the change. Single-authority + facts-flow-forward restored across all 5 locations.

Docs-only PR ratifying a Q-row with 6 sub-decisions and updating closure-gate phrasing. No code changes.

Verdict: APPROVE — docs-only diff updating Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier from OPEN to RATIFIED with 6 sub-decisions, and propagating "concept faithfully modeled" closure phrasing across §1.4, §4 representative-test, §10.1 ledger row, §10.3 Q-table, and r3-structure.md. Cross-references are consistent (sub-decisions 1/2/5/6 align with the Brian-directive citations in all five touchpoints), and the new "no dual representations / .dag-generated interaction substrate" constraint is properly grounded in feedback_isomorphism_or_generation_for_mirrors. Nothing in the diff touches Rust substrate or runtime, so INVARIANTS/CODING/TESTING don't bind here.

Exploratory observations (optional):

  • Sub-decision 3 says Compose<...> "is .dag-generated per sub-decision 2" — sub-decision 2 actually says the interaction substrate (composition/projection/coercion machinery) is .dag-generated. The elaboration of a particular Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> term is parser/elaborator behavior, not generated code. Worth tightening when S3 dispatches to avoid an S3-worker reading "the Compose type itself is generated."
  • Closure gate Implement Lane 5 remaining tool capabilities (WF19-WF22) #60's ledger entry now reads "concept faithfully modeled" with the 3-pair set as evidence. That's a softer, more subjective predicate than the prior conjunctive form. The §1.4 conjunctive-closure rule (representative test executes AND class-bridge enumeration = 0) still applies per r3-structure.md; might be worth one explicit sentence stating the conjunctive rule still binds even though pair-counting isn't the target, so a future reader doesn't read sub-decision 5 as relaxing §1.4.

…chineConstraint

Claude review at sha e1ea7cf (post-BLOCKING-fix) APPROVE with two
exploratory observations. Both worth applying:

1. Sub-decision 3: clarify Compose<...> elaboration vs interaction substrate.
   Sub-decision 2 says the *interaction substrate* (composition/projection/
   coercion machinery) is .dag-generated, not the Compose<...> type itself.
   Avoid an S3 worker reading "the Compose type is generated."

2. Closure predicate: explicit note that §1.4 conjunctive-closure rule still
   binds. Sub-decision 5 narrows what counts as Pass (concept faithfully
   modeled, not pair-counting), but does NOT relax the conjunctive form
   (representative gap-test executes AND class-bridge enumeration = 0).

Both are tightening clarifications; no disposition change.

BLOCKING (1)

Root Cause

  • docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md Q-MachineConstraint sub-decision 3 collapses carrier and algebra-witness axes → spell the interaction as Compose<Int, MachineWidth<64>> or Compose<GroupCompletion<Nat>, MachineWidth<64>> with AbelianGroup<...> carried as the witness.

Non-blocking — Improvements (fix in-PR if easy, else defer to roadmap)

  • docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md Sub-decision 6 should cross-reference or update the existing docs/design-numeric-construction.md Python Nat<N> -> int grounding row so the R3 docs do not leave competing Python width-lowering defaults; defer under T-Numeric-Construction/Grounding if not bundled here.

⚠️ One substrate-level wording issue would send implementation toward the wrong carrier/witness boundary.

Comment thread docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md Outdated

1. **Axes in R3 scope**: `MachineWidth<bits>` only. `RegisterClass<R>` / `EndianMode<E>` / alignment / signedness-as-axis deferred post-R3 absent a closure-gate forcing them. **Discipline note (Brian directive)**: this is a separation-of-facts/concerns exercise — algebra is one axis of fact, machine constraint is another, target lowering (e.g., Rust emission) is a *projection / coercion* over both. Integer modeling is the canonical exercise for this discipline; getting comfortable with the separation is the broader R3 modeling work.
2. **Interaction substrate shape**: **REST-API-style typed-contract interactions between models** (Brian directive 2026-05-06: *"these models interact a la rest apis interacting — scalable / no dual representations (.dag generated)"*). Each model (algebra, machine-constraint) declares its interface in `.dag`; the interaction substrate (composition, projection, coercion) is **`.dag`-generated**, not hand-coded. **Hard constraint: no dual representations** — any Rust counterpart must be generated from `.dag`, never hand-maintained (per `feedback_isomorphism_or_generation_for_mirrors` + `feedback_no_generated_code_on_disk`). Closed-enumeration lookup-maps and parallel Rust mirrors are both rejected (bridges).
3. **Type-level spelling**: `Int<64>` parses/elaborates as `Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>>` parametrically. Surface intuition is the literal product `Int × MachineWidth<64>`; substrate spelling is parametric. Equivalent under both algebra-side options per PR #1815. The `Compose<...>` *interaction substrate* is `.dag`-generated per sub-decision 2.

Re: claude APPROVE at e1ea7cfa — both observations applied in 8099ace90

APPROVE with no findings. Two non-blocking exploratory observations were both worth applying:

  1. Sub-decision 3 / Compose<...> precision: clarified that the interaction substrate (composition/projection/coercion machinery operating on Compose terms) is what's .dag-generated per sub-decision 2 — NOT the Compose<...> type itself. The elaboration of a particular Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> term is parser/elaborator behavior. Added explicit note: "S3 worker brief should preserve this distinction."

  2. Closure predicate / §1.4 conjunctive rule still binds: added explicit sentence noting sub-decision 5 narrows what counts as Pass ("concept faithfully modeled" replaces pair-counting), but does NOT relax the conjunctive form (representative gap-test executes AND class-bridge enumeration = 0) per r3-structure.md §"Acceptance" + r3-program-plan.md §1.4.

Both are tightening clarifications; no disposition change. APPROVE reasoning carries forward.

…t Compose<witness, ...>

Codex BLOCKING at sha 8099ace on PR #1817 caught a real type-level error:
Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> composes the *algebra witness shape*
rather than the integer carrier. Per dsl/std/algebra.dag:148-150:

  "T = GroupCompletion<M> is the carrier; AbelianGroup<T> carries
   op/identity/inverse over that carrier"

AbelianGroup<T> is a witness shape generic over carrier T, not a carrier
constructor. The bare AbelianGroup (without args) is just the kind/
constructor — putting it in Compose<...> slot-1 doesn't yield an integer
carrier.

Correct form: first slot of Compose<...> holds the **algebraic concept**
(the fully-applied carrier+witness composite that IS the Int / UInt /
Real / Nat type), second slot holds the machine-constraint:

- Int<64>  = Compose<Int, MachineWidth<64>>      (Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>> per #1466)
- UInt<64> = Compose<UInt, MachineWidth<64>>     (UInt = CommutativeMonoid<Nat> per #1818)
- Real<64> = Compose<Real, MachineWidth<64>>     (Real = ApproximateField<Rational>)
- Nat<8>   = Compose<Nat, MachineWidth<8>>

Updates sub-decision 3 (type-level spelling) + sub-decision 4 (approximate-
algebra layering) in both r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md §S3 and

references retained as anti-references only ("prior phrasing was wrong";

Valid finding. Per dsl/std/algebra.dag:148-150:

"T = GroupCompletion is the carrier; AbelianGroup carries op/identity/inverse over that carrier"

AbelianGroup<T> is a witness shape generic over carrier T, not a carrier constructor. Bare AbelianGroup in Compose<...> slot-1 composes the witness rather than the integer concept — type-level error.

Correct form: first slot holds the algebraic concept (fully-applied carrier+witness composite that IS the Int / UInt / Real / Nat type); second slot holds the machine-constraint axis:

UInt<64> Compose<UInt, MachineWidth<64>> (UInt = CommutativeMonoid<Nat> per #1818)
Real<64> Compose<Real, MachineWidth<64>> (Real = ApproximateField<Rational>)
Nat<8> Compose<Nat, MachineWidth<8>>

Updates sub-decision 3 (type-level spelling) + sub-decision 4 (approximate-algebra layering) in both r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md §S3 and r3-program-plan.md §10.3 Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier row. Wrong-form references retained as anti-references only with explicit "prior phrasing was wrong" + dsl/std/algebra.dag:148-150 citation.

This finding also implicates PR #1818 body (proud-lynx-311's S9 Phase-1) which forward-projects the same wrong spelling for the post-S3 lowering table:

Int<32>  ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<32>>      // → Rust i32  ← wrong

Should be Compose<Int, MachineWidth<32>>. Will surface on Substrate Mgr inbox once this lands.

Codex BLOCKING + non-blocking @ 83be1212 — both addressed

Finding Verdict Disposition
BLOCKING: Sub-decision 3 collapses carrier and algebra-witness axes; spell as Compose<Int, MachineWidth<64>> (or Compose<GroupCompletion<Nat>, MachineWidth<64>> with AbelianGroup<...> carried as the witness) VALID Already fixed in 150c28aa4 (pushed prior to this review's relay) per the same finding from the inline reviewer at sha 8099ace90. Sub-decision 3 + sub-decision 4 both updated to Compose<concept, MachineConstraint> form (Compose<Int, ...>, Compose<UInt, ...>, Compose<Real, ...>, Compose<Nat, ...>). Wrong forms retained as anti-references with dsl/std/algebra.dag:148-150 citation.
Non-blocking: Sub-decision 6 should cross-reference / update existing design-numeric-construction.md:194-198 Python Nat<N> -> int grounding row to avoid competing Python width-lowering defaults VALID Fixed in 694db2ea1 — explicit "Tracked divergence" callout in sub-decision 6 (both r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md §S3 and r3-program-plan.md §10.3 row). Brian's directive (faithful concrete representation: numpy.uint8 / ctypes.c_uint8 / literal-bits) shifts the standing default; existing design doc currently has the size-hint-on-arbitrary-precision-int default. Reconciliation routes to T-Numeric-Construction / Grounding lane paydown — update design-numeric-construction.md Python row when Grounding-side per-target lowering authority lands. Divergence tracked-not-silent.

Per codex's offered choice ("defer under T-Numeric-Construction/Grounding if not bundled here"), the divergence is deferred to the appropriate lane rather than bundled — this PR's scope is Q-MachineConstraint substrate ratification, not Grounding-side per-target row updates.

  • Commit: e1ea7cfa · Trigger: manual
  • Conversation: View conversation

1. Story of the diff

This PR turns the earlier loose “MachineConstraint plus interaction lookup” note into a ratified R3 substrate plan. The load-bearing change is that MachineConstraint<C> becomes universal substrate, with R3 scope narrowed to MachineWidth<bits> while other axes are explicitly deferred, and interactions between algebra and machine constraints are required to be .dag-declared / .dag-generated rather than hand-maintained Rust mirrors (docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:48-57). The program plan and structure docs then align the Class 1 closure gate away from “land exactly three examples” and toward “faithfully model the algebra × machine-constraint interaction,” with the three examples retained only as minimum existence-proof evidence (docs/r3-program-plan.md:74, docs/r3-structure.md:173). Overall, the PR is a planning/design ratification that tightens substrate authority and gate phrasing; it does not implement the substrate or parser work yet.

2. Invariant categories

  1. LAYER MODEL — Compliant. This is substrate-facing documentation, and it preserves the layer split: MachineConstraint<C> is universal substrate, target primitives are derived lowering artifacts, and any interaction Rust counterpart must be generated rather than hand-maintained (docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:51, docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:55, docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:57).
  2. INVARIANTS.md + modeling-discipline.md — Compliant. Modeling Faithfulness is improved by making “concept faithfully modeled” the closure criterion instead of pair-counting, while still requiring concrete evidence through Int<64> / Real<64> / Nat<8> lowering without v2 fallback (docs/r3-program-plan.md:430, docs/r3-structure.md:173). Boundary Discipline / single authority is also explicit: “no dual representations,” .dag-generated interaction substrate, and rejected closed-enumeration lookup maps / parallel Rust mirrors (docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:51).
  3. CODING.md — N/A. The diff is documentation-only; it introduces no Rust functions, APIs, helper placement, error/result shapes, methods, or implementation style surface to review.
  4. TESTING.md — Compliant. No tests are required for this docs-only ratification because it does not claim the gate is passing; it keeps the gate declared and clarifies the representative gap-test as minimum existence-proof evidence rather than the closure target (docs/r3-program-plan.md:257, docs/r3-program-plan.md:430).
  5. LOCKED DESIGN DECISIONS — N/A. The diff ratifies Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier scope, but I do not see it altering a line marked as a locked thesis/design decision; the changed lines are R3 schedule/program/structure planning entries.
  6. TRACKED vs UNTRACKED DEBT — Compliant. The deferred axes are bounded to post-R3 and tied to a closure-gate forcing function (docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:50), while the bridge risk is explicitly rejected by requiring .dag generation and no hand-maintained Rust mirror (docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:51, docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:57).

3. Verdict

APPROVE. The diff is internally consistent with the substrate/modeling discipline: it removes the misleading “three examples are the target” closure shape, makes the universal substrate decision explicit, and rejects dual representations/bridges at the design level. I did not find a diff-backed blocking issue.

Re: openai-pro APPROVE at e1ea7cfa — noted

APPROVE with no findings. Review snapshot was pre-codex-fix; subsequent commits all strengthen the same reasoning the APPROVE cites:

  • 150c28aa4 — fixed codex BLOCKING (Compose<witness> → Compose<concept>); reinforces "Boundary Discipline / single authority" by aligning slot-1 with the algebraic concept (Int / UInt / Real / Nat) per dsl/std/algebra.dag:148-150 carrier-vs-witness distinction
  • 694db2ea1 — addressed codex non-blocking by flagging Python lowering divergence with design-numeric-construction.md:194-198 as tracked-not-silent (now superseded by a00010c12)
  • a00010c12 — Brian directive elaborated 2x: sub-decision 6 unified with T-CostLens-Composition. Faithful representation is universal (every target carries every concept; literal-bits as floor); cost lens is the discriminator (gates cost_lens_reads_target_realization + coercion_cost_equals_complexity_by_construction); Grounding selects lowest-cost faithful representation per target. The "divergence" with design-numeric-construction.md reframes — that doc's existing Python row is non-faithful (drops width-structure to size-hint metadata; cost lens can't read what isn't there); paydown routes to T-Numeric-Construction / Grounding lane to install cost-tiered faithful-representation table.

This is the structurally elegant unification: sub-decision 6 IS an instance of "coercion cost = complexity by construction" thesis claim that T-CostLens-Composition load-bears. APPROVE reasoning carries forward + tightens.

* fix(briefs): retire INVARIANTS.md line-number cites in r3-426 brief

Per codex review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cd): the new briefs
introduced fresh `INVARIANTS.md:<line>` citations — the same
stale-line-anchor shape the :425 sweep brief itself names as needing
dissolution. Replaces four line-number references in
r3-426-sfp-subdoc-rename-and-author-worker.md (lines 16, 28, 58, 85)
with prose-anchored locators citing the section anchor + bullet text.

The other PB-lane briefs codex flagged (r3-pb-runtime-equivalence-
corpus-seed-audit.md, r3-pb-t-fixedpoint-worker.md) belong to
neat-bear-351's lane and are not in this PR's scope; will route
separately.

* fix(briefs): correct L6 type count + r3-435 dual-path retirement receipt

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cd):

1. L6 brief said acceptance ratchet asserts "five types" exist but
   declares six (ShapeATarget, FormAxis, BehaviorAxis,
   MethodTemplateContractKey, EmissionCell, EmissionPathProjection).
   Updated both occurrences to enumerate all six explicitly.

2. r3-435 brief authorized both Path A (typed-AST reader, deletes
   IntegrationRsScan) and Path B (scanner widening with Char state),
   but retirement receipt language only covered Path B. Updated
   ROADMAP/ledger retirement and authority-audit step 5 to cover
   both authorized dissolution paths.

* fix(briefs): L6 second 'five types' site + T-E-P lookup-gate authority

Per cursor review on PR #1782 (sha 2072b98):

1. L6 brief acceptance bullet at :131 still said "five types" while
   the parenthetical and the Slice step at :117 said six. The prior
   fix only caught one of two sites; corrected the second.

2. T-E-P brief `e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative` acceptance
   named only `lower_call_pattern` as "the only route from call
   site to LoweringTarget" — but Phase 2 explicitly requires
   lenses route through `per_call_pattern_at` (the L-7 single-
   authority lookup), NOT `lower_call_pattern` (compiler-internal).
   Acceptance text rewritten to name `per_call_pattern_at` as the
   consumer-facing gate and clarify `lower_call_pattern`'s
   internal-only scope.

* fix(briefs): strengthen L6 ratchet from count-parity to per-row bijection

Per openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1782 (sha 2072b98): the L6
acceptance ratchet asserted only row-count parity between
emission_path_projections and the union of MethodTemplateContract
rows. Count parity permits duplicate projection keys and missing
source rows — the bridge from list-non-empty proxy to per-row
projection would not be mechanically proven. The whole point of
introducing MethodTemplateContractKey { target, dag_method } is to
provide 1:1 row identity.

Rewrites the ratchet to assert per-row bijection: every
MethodTemplateContract source row has exactly one matching
EmissionPathProjection row by key; every projection key resolves
to exactly one source row; duplicate projection keys fail closed.

(The other openai-pro BLOCKING finding — T-E-P
e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative naming the wrong authority
— was already fixed at 6282a07; the review citation was against
the pre-fix sha 2072b98.)

* fix(briefs): split L6 ratchet into slice-active vs deferred-activation gates

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at d924594: the prior
bijection ratchet was unsatisfiable as authored. The
*_method_template_contracts lists at HEAD (rust/python/go) are
non-empty; shipping emission_path_projections: [] alongside a
strict bijection requirement means the bijection cannot pass when
the slice lands — source rows would be uncovered. Prior text
incorrectly said "vacuously true on the empty source set" — the
SOURCE set isn't empty, only the projection set is.

Splits the ratchet into two gate categories:
- Slice-active gates: types/data shape exist + empty-state
  predicate (emission_path_projections == []).
- Deferred-activation gate: per-row key bijection, authored as a
  test scaffold by this slice but #[ignore]'d (or feature-gated
  on len > 0) until Grounding's follow-up populates rows. On
  activation, asserts the bijection over the populated set.

This honors P1 doc faithfulness: the slice's acceptance contract
is satisfiable as authored, and the bijection becomes the
load-bearing gate the row-population PR satisfies.

* fix(briefs): require L6 bootstrap enrollment to honor P2 facts-flow-forward

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at L6:34: the slice authored
src/v3/std/cross_target_coverage.dag but never required enrolling
it in the bootstrap/load authority. Without enrollment the file
is dead-letter on disk and EmissionPathProjection can be absent
from the downstream Dag — silent P2 facts-flow-forward violation.

Adds a new Slice step 2 requiring a cross_target_coverage field
on BootstrapFixtures in src/v3/std/extdeps_bootstrap_fixtures.dag
mirroring the *_method_template_contracts enrollment pattern, plus
a loader-visibility ratchet. Renumbers subsequent Slice steps.
Adds matching Acceptance bullet.

* docs(briefs): normalize Practice 4 citation in S3 brief per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 (sha 2614217) flagged stale citation
"Practice 4 (Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist)" in
S3 brief — no such checklist step exists in the pinned rubric.

Live rule per docs/modeling-discipline.md:131-134 is the "What to
check" checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution). Updated the S3 reference to cite that line directly
and drop the stale "Step 4 of type-introduction checklist" wording.

S2/S8/S9 already use bare "Practice 4" without the stale steps wording.
S1 (committed earlier today) does not contain the stale phrase.
S6 (pre-existing brief flagged by reviewer as carrying the same
pattern) is out of this branch's scope; flag for separate paydown.

* docs(briefs): sweep stale Practice 4 citations corpus-wide

Codex review on PR #1782 flagged the stale "Step 4 of the
type-introduction checklist" wording — no such checklist exists in
docs/modeling-discipline.md. The live rule is the "What to check"
checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution) at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131.

Sweep across docs/ found 2 additional briefs carrying the stale
phrasing (S3 fixed previously at 9db003d):

- docs/briefs/r3-l6-emission-path-projection-substrate-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-x1b-s1-transform-dispatch-substrate-worker.md

Both updated to cite the live rule directly. Verified zero
remaining "type-introduction checklist" or "Step 4 of the"
references in docs/ tree.

* docs(briefs): add Practice 4 citation discipline note to authoring checklist

Per parent inbox status flag at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385346221:
add a Citation discipline section to brief-authoring-checklist.md
naming the correct shape — Practice 4 (coproduct dissolution) +
"What to check" rule at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131 — and
calling out the stale "Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist"
phrasing as a failure mode. References the corpus sweep at
2dc92f3.

Prevents future briefs that copy old templates from re-introducing
the stale citation pattern.

* docs(r3): cascade work post-Director ratification — S1 worker, R4 routing, Unit/Quantity canvas

Per Director ratification at gunbc#828 inbox response 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812):

1. S1 Q1+Q2 RATIFIED → author S1 gap-test representative worker brief
   (`r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md`). Dispatchable
   on T-E-P Phase 1 + E6-G0d landing; closes ledger row #61.

2. S2 Q2 RATIFIED (option-(b) T-LBP narrowing) + S3 + S8 deferrals →
   R4 carve-out routing ledger (`docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md`).
   Captures C1 (parallelism lens), C2 (effect_enum lens), C3
   (register narrowing), C4 (deferred MachineConstraint axes),
   C5 (rounding-mode product extension), C6 (Unit/Quantity).
   Cascade messages to Verification / Grounding / Debt-Paydown Mgrs.

3. S9 Phase-3 dimensional refinement boundary → Unit/Quantity carrier
   canvas (`r3-substrate-s9-unit-quantity-carrier-canvas.md`).
   Surfaces Q-Unit-1..5 for Director ratification: carrier name,
   2-axis vs 3-axis Phase-1, Duration/Seconds collapse, Refined
   composition order, Practice 4 classification.

Updates §1.8 ledger receipts for carved items; R3 closure receipts
treat carved items as explicitly-deferred (not drift).

* docs(briefs): citation-discipline fix-forward — anchors/quotes, not line numbers

Director redirect at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... noted the citation
paydown's replacement form (`docs/modeling-discipline.md:131`) is the
same drift class as the original fabricated-step error. Bare line
numbers shift silently on any doc edit above the cited line.

Generalized fix:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md "Citation discipline" section
  rewritten to prohibit bare line-numbers across ALL cross-doc
  references (modeling-discipline.md, r3-program-plan.md,
  r3-structure.md, INVARIANTS.md, MODELING.md, etc.). Use section
  anchors (#section-name) or rule-text quotes.
- 3 briefs that swapped in :131 (S3, S6, X1B) re-converted:
  - docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution anchor
  - "What to check" rule quoted inline (self-contained)

Brief-authoring-checklist failure-mode section names both vectors
(fabricated step + bare line numbers) and references both sweep
commits in audit trail.

Broader cross-doc citation sweep across briefs I authored on this
branch (frontmatter authority-docs lists, body prose) is recommended
per Director note — flagging as separate paydown task; this commit
closes the immediate recurrence vector.

* docs(briefs): fix unfaithful Int=AbelianGroup<Nat> + sweep stale 'Step 4' refs

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 sha 0ecd481 (gunbc#1782 #...):

BLOCKING fix (P1 modeling faithfulness):
- S9 + S3 directed workers to model `Int = AbelianGroup<Nat>`,
  but Nat is not an Abelian-group carrier (additive inverses
  not representable). Reframed:
  - `Int` is the additive Abelian group on integers (carrier Z);
    `Nat` is a commutative monoid under addition.
  - Algebraic relationship is **explicit group-completion**:
    `Int ≡ GroupCompletion<CommutativeMonoid<Nat>>` — NOT
    `AbelianGroup<Nat>` parameterization.
  - Worker either models `Int` directly as `AbelianGroup`
    (terminal Abelian-group instance) OR introduces explicit
    `GroupCompletion<M>` substrate carrier; decision lands in
    Phase-1 PR per P1 procedure.
- S3 cross-reference + Phase-4 algebra-axis preservation note
  reframed accordingly.

NON-BLOCKING in-PR cleanup (Practice 4 citation discipline):
- 6 briefs still carrying stale 'Practice 4 Step 4' wording
  (r3-coproduct-1/2/3, r3-l6, r3-t-e-p, r3-x1b) updated to use
  the section anchor (`docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution`)
  + inline rule-text quote ("What to check") form per the
  citation discipline established in `b4cae5299`.

Closes both findings from openai-pro review.

* docs(briefs): Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED — apply Scale.Unit→One rename + ratification banner

Director ratified Q-Unit-1..5 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812). All 5 questions ratified; one rename required:

- Scale enum's `Unit` value collides with outer `Unit<Q, S>` carrier
  name (`Unit<Time, Unit>` is shadowing-confusing). Rename to `One`.
- Duration ≡ Unit<Time, One> (collapses with Seconds per Q-Unit-3).
- Milliseconds ≡ Unit<Time, Milli>.

Canvas updated:
- Top-level RATIFICATION banner records all 5 ratifications + rename
- Scale enum: `Unit` → `One` (with inline rename receipt)
- Sketch product expansions use `Unit<Time, One>` / `Unit<Time, Milli>`
- Phase-3 reframe table products updated
- Q-Unit-3 prose collapse reference updated

Subsequent worker brief authoring (Unit/Quantity carrier landing
post-prerequisite) inherits the renamed shape.

* docs(briefs): Unit/Quantity carrier worker brief — Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED

Worker brief consumes the ratified Unit/Quantity canvas
(`5f22fd06e` ratification banner). Phase-1 lands `Unit<Q, S>` +
`Quantity` + `Scale` declarations at the ratified shape (Scale's
`One` value per Q-Unit-1 rename). Phase-2 reframes S9 Phase-3
dimensional refinements (Duration / Seconds / Milliseconds) to
outer-Refined / inner-Unit composition per Q-Unit-4 RATIFIED.
EpochMs deferred to R4 C6 (Aspect-axis follow-up).

Practice 4 marks pre-determined per Q-Unit-5: `Unit<Q, S>` 🟢
PRIMITIVE; `Quantity` + `Scale` 🟡 SCAFFOLD with "consumed by ≥1
emission rule" dissolution trigger.

Cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for dimensional
emission consumption documented.

Worker pin TBD — dispatchable when idle pool refreshes.

* docs(briefs): S9 Phase-1 reframed — Int landed at #1466; UInt-only migration

Per proud-lynx-311 dispatch ack at gunbc#1739 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: re-grep at HEAD revealed substrate state diverges
materially from S9 brief's "Option A vs B decide" framing.

Reality check at HEAD:
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:55` already carries
  `type Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>>` per Slice 3 PR
  #1466 / commit `4ba0a6d04`. Single-authority Q6 audit doc at
  `docs/audit/t-numeric-construction-group-completion-6q.md`
  ratified this shape and explicitly rejected the compact form.
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:56` still on legacy `type UInt = UInt64`
  alias; UInt migration is the actual Phase-1 worker scope.

Brief Phase-1 step 1 reframed: Int landing acknowledged; worker
confirms HEAD match. Phase-1 step 2 reframed: UInt migration
target named (`type UInt = CommutativeMonoid<Nat>`); fixed-width
rows preserved per existing legacy-rows policy.

Historical Option A vs B framing kept as note (superseded).

Confirmed S9 dispatch ack from worker; UInt-only Phase-1 PR is
in-scope. Emission entries deferred per S3 (valiant-ant-72
pre-landing); Phase-2 deferred per S8 (quiet-boar-160 pre-landing).

* docs(briefs): fix two BLOCKING citation drift items per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 sha 5f22fd0 flagged two authority-receipt
gaps:

1. brief-authoring-checklist.md:118 — `<this-commit>` placeholder in
   the failure-mode section was unverifiable post-merge. Replaced
   with `b4cae5299` (the actual anchor/quote conversion commit).

2. r3-378-http-path-helper-fail-open-worker.md:84 — `INVARIANTS.md
   C-8 fail-closed` cited without anchor or rule-text quote, in
   violation of the citation discipline added in this PR.
   Converted to `INVARIANTS.md#p3-fail-closed` (P3 heading anchor)
   + inline rule-text quote naming P3 + C-8.

PR's own discipline now consistently applied across the diff.

* docs(briefs): sweep bare .md:NNN citations in Substrate-Mgr-authored briefs

Per Director recommendation in citation-discipline thread (gunbc#828
follow-on): bare line-number references drift silently. Swept 19
remaining instances across 5 briefs I authored on this branch:

- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-q-class-2-chain-break-gap-test-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s2-t-lbp-scope-calibration-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s3-machine-constraint-carrier-worker.md

Conversion: bare `file.md:NNN` → `file.md §"Section name"` form.
Stable; survives doc edits; human-readable. Section names per
HEAD heading audit.

Verification: `grep -nE '.md:[0-9]+' docs/briefs/r3-substrate-*.md
docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md` returns zero results in
Substrate-Mgr-authored scope.

Broader corpus scope (~232 references across non-Substrate briefs)
remains as separate paydown task.

* docs(briefs): fix BLOCKING + NON-BLOCKING items per openai-pro review on a462f00

Three findings addressed; 2 BLOCKING + 1 NON-BLOCKING:

BLOCKING — R3/R4 dual authority for Unit/Quantity carrier:
R4 carve-out C6 narrowed from "Unit/Quantity carrier landing"
(deferred all of it) to **"Aspect-axis (PointKind) follow-on
for EpochMs and instant/rate-shaped refinements only"**. The
2-axis Measure<Q,S> carrier landing IS in R3 per Q-Unit-1..5
RATIFIED; only the Aspect axis (PointKind = Magnitude | Instant
| Rate) carves to R4. Cascade-message C6 reference + R4 program-
plan input list updated to match. Cross-Mgr message clarifies
Grounding consumes 2-axis dimensional refinements in R3.

BLOCKING — Locked design partially applied (Scale.Unit→One
rename in canvas alternate-sketch sections):
- Canvas line 105-108 alternate sketch ("Open question: Instant
  vs Duration axis") still used pre-rename `Unit` Scale value;
  added pre-ratification disclaimer marking the section as
  deferred to R4 C6 + noting `Unit` is pre-rename
- Canvas line 163 Q-Unit-3 collapse note: `Scale = Unit` → `Scale = One`

(BLOCKING — bare line-numbers in S1 canvas frontmatter): NOT
APPLICABLE — already fixed at sweep commit 127287a prior to
review; reviewer was on sha a462f00 pre-sweep.

NON-BLOCKING — placeholder receipts:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385393971 (Director's anchor-discipline reply)
- r3-substrate-unit-quantity-carrier-worker.md (3 occurrences)
  + canvas RATIFICATION banner: `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385412256 (Q-Unit ratification reply)
- `<this-commit>` placeholder in checklist already fixed at 5be1c99

Verification: zero `#issuecomment-...` or `<this-commit>` placeholders
in docs/briefs/ + docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md.

* docs(briefs): codex BLOCKING review fixes — Practice 4 source-level + policy scope

Three BLOCKING findings on PR #1782 (codex sha b913e2f):

1. **Citation-discipline policy scope**: addressed by scoping
   the rule prospectively to briefs landing after the policy
   commit (`b4cae5299`). Pre-existing corpus references are
   flagged as paydown but NOT individually blocking; coordinated
   single-PR sweep is the right paydown shape. Substrate-Mgr scope
   already swept at `127287a66`.

2. **R4 C6 reconciliation**: already fixed at `6e5a5481a` (R4 C6
   narrowed to Aspect-axis follow-on for EpochMs only; 2-axis
   carrier landing IS in R3). Codex sha b913e2f was pre-fix.

3. **Practice 4 source-level vs PR-body conflation**: corrected.
   Acceptance bullet for Unit/Quantity worker brief now requires
   inline checkpoint comments on the LIVE declarations in
   `dsl/std/units.dag` (load-bearing artifact per

Closes the review's reconciliation gates.

* docs(briefs): absorb Q-MachineConstraint + Q-Unit-1-Recanvas ratifications

Two major Director ratifications absorbed:

1. Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier RATIFIED at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385530115 (Brian directive 2026-05-06: "universal
   substrate, ratify defaults"; PR #1817 queued). 6 sub-decisions:
   - MachineWidth<bits> only for R3; defer RegisterClass / EndianMode
     / Alignment / signedness post-R3
   - Parametric Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint> type-level
     interaction shape (lookup-maps REJECTED — AlgebraMachineProduct
     record-keyed table form retracted)
   - Int<64> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> (algebra-side
     options A and B preserve interaction semantics)
   - Real<64> ≡ Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>, MachineWidth<64>>
     (algebra approx + machine approx as independent composing axes)
   - ≥3 pairs is minimum, not target
   - UNIVERSAL substrate: every target carries machine-constraint
     facts; targets without native machine-width semantics handle
     omission at Grounding-level discharge (target-conditioned
     lowering NOT target-conditioned substrate)

   Reframed: S3 brief Phase-1, S3 Phase-3/4 emission entries,
   S8 Phase-1/2/3 (ApproximateField<Real> → ApproximateField<Rational>;
   AlgebraMachineProduct → Compose<...>), S9 emission entries.

2. Q-Unit-1-Recanvas RATIFIED Measure<Q, S> at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385539791. valiant-ibex-312's substrate-state
   grep caught Unit<Q, S> collision with kernel Unit at
   dsl/std/types.dag:176; Director ratified Measure<Q, S> as
   outer carrier name (conventional in scientific computing;
   no dsl/std/ collision).

   Reframed: Unit/Quantity worker brief throughout (Unit<Q,S> →
   Measure<Q,S>; dsl/std/units.dag → dsl/std/measure.dag); canvas
   spec sections + sketch products (Refined<Measure<Time, ...>...>);
   R4 carve-out C6 with informal/formal name disambiguation note.

Both rename + reshape are now consistent across S3 / S8 / S9 /
Unit-Q briefs + canvas + R4 routing. Workers (valiant-ant-72 on S3,
quiet-boar-160 on S8, proud-lynx-311 on S9, valiant-ibex-312 on
Unit-Q) all dispatch against the ratified shape.

* docs(briefs): S11 Slice C worker brief — ROADMAP :425 retirement post-#1801

Cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1801 (Slice B) merge
2026-05-06. S11 brief authored per B1 RATIFIED prose+regen
bundling discipline.

Phase 1: per-file edits across the post-A+B residual list (~10
files per smart-ram-167's Slice B post-rebase enumeration);
anchor + rule-text-quote pattern per current citation discipline;
bootstrap regen in same PR (no split).

Phase 2: ROADMAP :425 row PARTIAL → Retired with 3-slice receipt;
Q-Slice-C-Retirement-Receipt resolution.

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice B precedent owner.
Dispatch packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(r3): Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier RATIFIED — universal substrate + 5 PM defaults (Brian directive)

Brian directive 2026-05-06: "universal substrate, ratify defaults".

Resolves Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier (was OPEN per r3-program-plan.md §10.3)
with 6 sub-decisions ratified:

1. Axes in R3 scope: MachineWidth<bits> only. RegisterClass<R> / EndianMode<E>
   / alignment / signedness-as-axis deferred post-R3.
2. Interaction substrate shape: parametric Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint>
   type-level construction. Closed-enumeration lookup-maps rejected (bridges).
3. Type-level spelling: Int<64> = Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>>
   parametrically. Equivalent under both algebra-side options per PR #1815.
4. Approximate-algebra layering: algebra approx + machine approx are
   independent composing axes. Real<64> = Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>,
   MachineWidth<64>> carries both layers per S8 discipline.
5. Class 1 demonstration breadth: ≥3 algebra×constraint pairs is minimum,
   not target. Broader coverage follows automatically once parser handles
   generic interaction syntax.
6. Target-specificity: MachineConstraint<C> is UNIVERSAL substrate (Brian
   directive). Every target carries machine-constraint facts as substrate;
   targets lacking native machine-width semantics (Python int/float) handle
   omission at Grounding-level discharge — target-conditioned lowering,
   NOT target-conditioned substrate.

Substrate Mgr S3 dispatch unblocked on machine-constraint side; independent
of T-Numeric-Construction algebra-side Option A vs B selection per PR #1815
(interaction semantics carries through under either).

Updates:
- docs/r3-program-plan.md §10.3 Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier row: OPEN →
  RATIFIED 2026-05-06 with all 6 sub-decisions named.
- docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md §S3: drops "open scope" framing;

  as unblocked on machine-constraint side.

* docs(r3): Q-MachineConstraint sub-decisions 1/2/5/6 elaborated per Brian clarifying inline

Brian clarifying directive 2026-05-06 on the 6 sub-decisions:

1. AXES — accept MachineWidth<bits> only; add separation-of-facts/concerns
   discipline note: algebra/machine-constraint/target-lowering are distinct
   axes. Integer modeling is the canonical exercise.

2. INTERACTION SHAPE (revised from "parametric Compose<...>" framing):
   "these models interact a la rest apis interacting — scalable / no dual
   representations (.dag generated)". The interaction substrate is
   .dag-DECLARED + .dag-GENERATED, never hand-coded. Hard constraint: no
   dual representations — any Rust counterpart must be generated, never
   hand-maintained (feedback_isomorphism_or_generation_for_mirrors +
   feedback_no_generated_code_on_disk).

3. SPELLING — Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> ratified ("ok fine").
   Note added: the interaction substrate elaborating Compose<...> is
   .dag-generated per sub-decision 2.

4. LAYERING — independent composing axes ratified ("ok fine"). Real<64> =
   Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>, MachineWidth<64>> stays.

5. DEMONSTRATION BREADTH — strengthened: "3 is not a target, we shouldn't
   be 'targeting' modeling, we are just doing our best job to faithfully
   represent the concepts". Closure criterion is "concept is faithfully
   modeled", not "≥3 pairs land". 3-pair demonstration is minimum
   existence proof, not closure target.

6. TARGET-SPECIFICITY — universal substrate stays. Python lowering uses
   faithful target-available primitives (numpy.uint8 / ctypes.c_uint8 /
   explicit literal-bits), NOT omission. "if python lacks — we would have
   to actually represent the struct using something that python faithfully
   provides — i.e. either literal bits or otherwise". Faithful
   representation > target-conditioned omission.

Updates docs/r3-program-plan.md §10.3 Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier row +
docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md §S3 ratified-scope block to reflect

* docs(r3): closure predicate aligned to faithful-modeling criterion (openai-pro BLOCKING fix)

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at sha 8f5483b on PR #1817 caught a real
internal inconsistency: ratification text said "Faithful representation of
the concept is the closure criterion; pair-counting is not" but the actual
closure predicates across r3-structure.md / r3-program-plan.md /
r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md still phrased Pass as "≥3 pairs emit to
target primitives". This violated single-authority + facts-flow-forward.

Fix: align all 5 Pass-condition / closure-predicate locations to the
faithful-modeling criterion ratified in Q-MachineConstraint sub-decision 5:

- docs/r3-program-plan.md:74 (gate #60 Pass condition in §1.4 ledger):
  "Gate Pass = concept faithfully modeled (per Brian directive 2026-05-06)
  — once substrate carries algebra + machine-constraint as independent
  composing axes with .dag-generated interaction substrate, all valid pairs
  work by construction. Minimum existence-proof evidence: 3 pairs lower
  without v2-fallback (evidence, not target)."
- docs/r3-program-plan.md:257 (§1.8 canonical ledger row): "concept
  faithfully modeled... min existence-proof = Int<64>/Real<64>/Nat<8>
  lower without v2-fallback (evidence, not target)"
- docs/r3-program-plan.md:430 (§1.4 Class 1 representative gap-test):
  "Representative gap-test (minimum existence-proof, NOT target) — substrate
  faithfully modeling algebra + machine-constraint separation IS the
  closure criterion; the 3 pairs below are the minimum existence-proof"
- docs/r3-structure.md:173 (canonical gate description): "Pass condition:
  concept faithfully modeled... Minimum existence-proof evidence (not
  closure target): 3 pairs lower without v2-fallback"
- docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md:60 (S3 closure predicate cite):
  "Pass = concept faithfully modeled... 3-pair set is minimum
  existence-proof evidence, NOT the closure target"

Sub-decision 5 explanatory text retains "≥3 pairs land" as anti-reference
to the prior phrasing for traceability of the change.

* docs(r3): apply 2 claude APPROVE-with-observations precisions on Q-MachineConstraint

Claude review at sha e1ea7cf (post-BLOCKING-fix) APPROVE with two
exploratory observations. Both worth applying:

1. Sub-decision 3: clarify Compose<...> elaboration vs interaction substrate.
   Sub-decision 2 says the *interaction substrate* (composition/projection/
   coercion machinery) is .dag-generated, not the Compose<...> type itself.
   Avoid an S3 worker reading "the Compose type is generated."

2. Closure predicate: explicit note that §1.4 conjunctive-closure rule still
   binds. Sub-decision 5 narrows what counts as Pass (concept faithfully
   modeled, not pair-counting), but does NOT relax the conjunctive form
   (representative gap-test executes AND class-bridge enumeration = 0).

Both are tightening clarifications; no disposition change.

* docs(r3): codex BLOCKING fix — Compose<concept, MachineWidth<...>> not Compose<witness, ...>

Codex BLOCKING at sha 8099ace on PR #1817 caught a real type-level error:
Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> composes the *algebra witness shape*
rather than the integer carrier. Per dsl/std/algebra.dag:148-150:

  "T = GroupCompletion<M> is the carrier; AbelianGroup<T> carries
   op/identity/inverse over that carrier"

AbelianGroup<T> is a witness shape generic over carrier T, not a carrier
constructor. The bare AbelianGroup (without args) is just the kind/
constructor — putting it in Compose<...> slot-1 doesn't yield an integer
carrier.

Correct form: first slot of Compose<...> holds the **algebraic concept**
(the fully-applied carrier+witness composite that IS the Int / UInt /
Real / Nat type), second slot holds the machine-constraint:

- Int<64>  = Compose<Int, MachineWidth<64>>      (Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>> per #1466)
- UInt<64> = Compose<UInt, MachineWidth<64>>     (UInt = CommutativeMonoid<Nat> per #1818)
- Real<64> = Compose<Real, MachineWidth<64>>     (Real = ApproximateField<Rational>)
- Nat<8>   = Compose<Nat, MachineWidth<8>>

Updates sub-decision 3 (type-level spelling) + sub-decision 4 (approximate-
algebra layering) in both r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md §S3 and
r3-program-plan.md §10.3 Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier row. Wrong-form
references retained as anti-references only ("prior phrasing was wrong";
critical correction note + dsl/std/algebra.dag citation).

* docs(r3): flag Python width-lowering divergence with design-numeric-construction.md (codex non-blocking)

Codex non-blocking improvement at sha 83be121: sub-decision 6's Python
faithful-lowering directive (numpy.uint8 / ctypes.c_uint8 / literal-bits)
competes with the existing default at docs/design-numeric-construction.md:
194-198 which lowers Nat<N> for any N to plain Python int with size-hint
metadata (width-omission default).

Brian's directive ("represent the struct using something that python
faithfully provides") shifts the standing default to faithful concrete
representation, but the existing design doc isn't updated yet.

Fix: explicit "Tracked divergence" callout in sub-decision 6 (both r3-design-
schedule.md §S3 and r3-program-plan.md §10.3 row). Routes reconciliation
to T-Numeric-Construction / Grounding lane paydown — update
design-numeric-construction.md Python row when the Grounding-side per-target
lowering authority lands. Not bundled in this PR per scope; the divergence
is tracked-not-silent.

* docs(r3): sub-decision 6 unified with cost lens — universal faithful representation, cost as discriminator (Brian directive)

Brian directive 2026-05-06 elaborated 2x:
"basically this would be represented by cost right - in all cases we
should be able to represent the structure with literal bits/objects or
whatever - the cost would be enormous - in those cases, we would look for
alternatives like better modeling/libraries/int & 0xFF"

This unifies sub-decision 6 with T-CostLens-Composition: faithful
representation is universal (every target CAN represent every concept,
literal-bits is the always-available floor); the cost lens is the
discriminator that orders the alternatives.

Reframing:

- Universality of faithful representation: every target carries every
  concept faithfully (literal-bits as the floor)
- Cost lens (T-CostLens-Composition gates cost_lens_reads_target_realization
  + coercion_cost_equals_complexity_by_construction) reads per-primitive
  realization cost from target language spec
- Grounding selects the lowest-cost faithful representation by reading
  cost-lens output
- For Python u8: cost-tier 1 = numpy.uint8 (low cost), cost-tier 2 =
  ctypes.c_uint8 (medium), cost-tier 3 = int & 0xFF discipline (universal
  floor, high cost). All three faithful; cost lens orders.

Implication: existing docs/design-numeric-construction.md:194-198 Python
row (Nat<N> → int with size-hint metadata) is NON-FAITHFUL — drops width
structure to opaque metadata, cost lens cannot read what isn't there.
Reframe routes to T-Numeric-Construction / Grounding lane paydown:
replace with cost-tiered faithful-representation table.

This is the structurally-elegant unification: faithful-representation
universality + cost-lens-as-discriminator. Sub-decision 6 IS an instance
of "coercion cost = complexity by construction" thesis (T-CostLens-Composition
load-bearing claim).

Updates both r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md §S3 and r3-program-plan.md
§10.3 Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier row sub-decision 6.

of "coercion cost = complexity by construction" thesis (T-CostLens-Composition
load-bearing claim).

* docs(r3): Q-PAFS Path A ACCEPTED — Brian Director countersignature 2026-05-06

Per Brian directive 2026-05-06: "approved path A countersign".

Resolves three bundled §10.3 questions to ACCEPTED:

- Q-PAFS: TC1 first slice = static representative via E6-G1.a (Path A);
  Path B (TC1 generic G1.b/X1.b) deferred; Path C (RustDagIsomorphism before
  TC1) deferred under Q-PAFS default.
- Q-Pattern-A-First-Slice-Subscope: G1.a static representative ratified;
  TC1-generic via X1.b S1/S3 + G1.b deferred-not-blocked.
- Q-EVAL-Lens-Fold-First-Slice: G1.a first-slice shape locked for Evaluator
  E3 sequencing.

Implementation dispatch unblocked simultaneously across two lanes (same
release step):

- Verification V1 — Pattern-A executable cluster, TC1 first slice
- Evaluator E3 — E6-G1.a static lens fold

Both Mgrs (cool-owl-579 #1740, merry-gull-128 #1743) author worker briefs
and dispatch in same release step. Substrate/evaluator carrier-shape
changes remain STOP+PING until routed implementation PRs land —
ACCEPTED closes the policy-layer scope fork (which slice first), not the
substrate routing.

Updates:
- docs/r3-program-plan.md §10.3: Q-PAFS / Q-Pattern-A-First-Slice-Subscope /
  Q-EVAL-Lens-Fold-First-Slice rows from PENDING DIRECTOR COUNTERSIGNATURE
  to ACCEPTED 2026-05-06 (Path A / G1.a).
- docs/r3-design-schedule-2026-05-06.md §V1 + §E3: dispatch trigger updated
  from "pending Director countersignature" to "DISPATCH UNBLOCKED 2026-05-06"
  with cross-references to the bundled gate.

* fix(briefs): retire INVARIANTS.md line-number cites in r3-426 brief

Per codex review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cd): the new briefs
introduced fresh `INVARIANTS.md:<line>` citations — the same
stale-line-anchor shape the :425 sweep brief itself names as needing
dissolution. Replaces four line-number references in
r3-426-sfp-subdoc-rename-and-author-worker.md (lines 16, 28, 58, 85)
with prose-anchored locators citing the section anchor + bullet text.

The other PB-lane briefs codex flagged (r3-pb-runtime-equivalence-
corpus-seed-audit.md, r3-pb-t-fixedpoint-worker.md) belong to
neat-bear-351's lane and are not in this PR's scope; will route
separately.

* fix(briefs): correct L6 type count + r3-435 dual-path retirement receipt

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cd):

1. L6 brief said acceptance ratchet asserts "five types" exist but
   declares six (ShapeATarget, FormAxis, BehaviorAxis,
   MethodTemplateContractKey, EmissionCell, EmissionPathProjection).
   Updated both occurrences to enumerate all six explicitly.

2. r3-435 brief authorized both Path A (typed-AST reader, deletes
   IntegrationRsScan) and Path B (scanner widening with Char state),
   but retirement receipt language only covered Path B. Updated
   ROADMAP/ledger retirement and authority-audit step 5 to cover
   both authorized dissolution paths.

* fix(briefs): L6 second 'five types' site + T-E-P lookup-gate authority

Per cursor review on PR #1782 (sha 2072b98):

1. L6 brief acceptance bullet at :131 still said "five types" while
   the parenthetical and the Slice step at :117 said six. The prior
   fix only caught one of two sites; corrected the second.

2. T-E-P brief `e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative` acceptance
   named only `lower_call_pattern` as "the only route from call
   site to LoweringTarget" — but Phase 2 explicitly requires
   lenses route through `per_call_pattern_at` (the L-7 single-
   authority lookup), NOT `lower_call_pattern` (compiler-internal).
   Acceptance text rewritten to name `per_call_pattern_at` as the
   consumer-facing gate and clarify `lower_call_pattern`'s
   internal-only scope.

* fix(briefs): strengthen L6 ratchet from count-parity to per-row bijection

Per openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1782 (sha 2072b98): the L6
acceptance ratchet asserted only row-count parity between
emission_path_projections and the union of MethodTemplateContract
rows. Count parity permits duplicate projection keys and missing
source rows — the bridge from list-non-empty proxy to per-row
projection would not be mechanically proven. The whole point of
introducing MethodTemplateContractKey { target, dag_method } is to
provide 1:1 row identity.

Rewrites the ratchet to assert per-row bijection: every
MethodTemplateContract source row has exactly one matching
EmissionPathProjection row by key; every projection key resolves
to exactly one source row; duplicate projection keys fail closed.

(The other openai-pro BLOCKING finding — T-E-P
e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative naming the wrong authority
— was already fixed at 6282a07; the review citation was against
the pre-fix sha 2072b98.)

* fix(briefs): split L6 ratchet into slice-active vs deferred-activation gates

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at d924594: the prior
bijection ratchet was unsatisfiable as authored. The
*_method_template_contracts lists at HEAD (rust/python/go) are
non-empty; shipping emission_path_projections: [] alongside a
strict bijection requirement means the bijection cannot pass when
the slice lands — source rows would be uncovered. Prior text
incorrectly said "vacuously true on the empty source set" — the
SOURCE set isn't empty, only the projection set is.

Splits the ratchet into two gate categories:
- Slice-active gates: types/data shape exist + empty-state
  predicate (emission_path_projections == []).
- Deferred-activation gate: per-row key bijection, authored as a
  test scaffold by this slice but #[ignore]'d (or feature-gated
  on len > 0) until Grounding's follow-up populates rows. On
  activation, asserts the bijection over the populated set.

This honors P1 doc faithfulness: the slice's acceptance contract
is satisfiable as authored, and the bijection becomes the
load-bearing gate the row-population PR satisfies.

* fix(briefs): require L6 bootstrap enrollment to honor P2 facts-flow-forward

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at L6:34: the slice authored
src/v3/std/cross_target_coverage.dag but never required enrolling
it in the bootstrap/load authority. Without enrollment the file
is dead-letter on disk and EmissionPathProjection can be absent
from the downstream Dag — silent P2 facts-flow-forward violation.

Adds a new Slice step 2 requiring a cross_target_coverage field
on BootstrapFixtures in src/v3/std/extdeps_bootstrap_fixtures.dag
mirroring the *_method_template_contracts enrollment pattern, plus
a loader-visibility ratchet. Renumbers subsequent Slice steps.
Adds matching Acceptance bullet.

* docs(briefs): normalize Practice 4 citation in S3 brief per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 (sha 2614217) flagged stale citation
"Practice 4 (Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist)" in
S3 brief — no such checklist step exists in the pinned rubric.

Live rule per docs/modeling-discipline.md:131-134 is the "What to
check" checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution). Updated the S3 reference to cite that line directly
and drop the stale "Step 4 of type-introduction checklist" wording.

S2/S8/S9 already use bare "Practice 4" without the stale steps wording.
S1 (committed earlier today) does not contain the stale phrase.
S6 (pre-existing brief flagged by reviewer as carrying the same
pattern) is out of this branch's scope; flag for separate paydown.

* docs(briefs): sweep stale Practice 4 citations corpus-wide

Codex review on PR #1782 flagged the stale "Step 4 of the
type-introduction checklist" wording — no such checklist exists in
docs/modeling-discipline.md. The live rule is the "What to check"
checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution) at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131.

Sweep across docs/ found 2 additional briefs carrying the stale
phrasing (S3 fixed previously at 9db003d):

- docs/briefs/r3-l6-emission-path-projection-substrate-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-x1b-s1-transform-dispatch-substrate-worker.md

Both updated to cite the live rule directly. Verified zero
remaining "type-introduction checklist" or "Step 4 of the"
references in docs/ tree.

* docs(briefs): add Practice 4 citation discipline note to authoring checklist

Per parent inbox status flag at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385346221:
add a Citation discipline section to brief-authoring-checklist.md
naming the correct shape — Practice 4 (coproduct dissolution) +
"What to check" rule at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131 — and
calling out the stale "Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist"
phrasing as a failure mode. References the corpus sweep at
2dc92f3.

Prevents future briefs that copy old templates from re-introducing
the stale citation pattern.

* docs(r3): cascade work post-Director ratification — S1 worker, R4 routing, Unit/Quantity canvas

Per Director ratification at gunbc#828 inbox response 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812):

1. S1 Q1+Q2 RATIFIED → author S1 gap-test representative worker brief
   (`r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md`). Dispatchable
   on T-E-P Phase 1 + E6-G0d landing; closes ledger row #61.

2. S2 Q2 RATIFIED (option-(b) T-LBP narrowing) + S3 + S8 deferrals →
   R4 carve-out routing ledger (`docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md`).
   Captures C1 (parallelism lens), C2 (effect_enum lens), C3
   (register narrowing), C4 (deferred MachineConstraint axes),
   C5 (rounding-mode product extension), C6 (Unit/Quantity).
   Cascade messages to Verification / Grounding / Debt-Paydown Mgrs.

3. S9 Phase-3 dimensional refinement boundary → Unit/Quantity carrier
   canvas (`r3-substrate-s9-unit-quantity-carrier-canvas.md`).
   Surfaces Q-Unit-1..5 for Director ratification: carrier name,
   2-axis vs 3-axis Phase-1, Duration/Seconds collapse, Refined
   composition order, Practice 4 classification.

Updates §1.8 ledger receipts for carved items; R3 closure receipts
treat carved items as explicitly-deferred (not drift).

* docs(briefs): citation-discipline fix-forward — anchors/quotes, not line numbers

Director redirect at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... noted the citation
paydown's replacement form (`docs/modeling-discipline.md:131`) is the
same drift class as the original fabricated-step error. Bare line
numbers shift silently on any doc edit above the cited line.

Generalized fix:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md "Citation discipline" section
  rewritten to prohibit bare line-numbers across ALL cross-doc
  references (modeling-discipline.md, r3-program-plan.md,
  r3-structure.md, INVARIANTS.md, MODELING.md, etc.). Use section
  anchors (#section-name) or rule-text quotes.
- 3 briefs that swapped in :131 (S3, S6, X1B) re-converted:
  - docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution anchor
  - "What to check" rule quoted inline (self-contained)

Brief-authoring-checklist failure-mode section names both vectors
(fabricated step + bare line numbers) and references both sweep
commits in audit trail.

Broader cross-doc citation sweep across briefs I authored on this
branch (frontmatter authority-docs lists, body prose) is recommended
per Director note — flagging as separate paydown task; this commit
closes the immediate recurrence vector.

* docs(briefs): fix unfaithful Int=AbelianGroup<Nat> + sweep stale 'Step 4' refs

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 sha 0ecd481 (gunbc#1782 #...):

BLOCKING fix (P1 modeling faithfulness):
- S9 + S3 directed workers to model `Int = AbelianGroup<Nat>`,
  but Nat is not an Abelian-group carrier (additive inverses
  not representable). Reframed:
  - `Int` is the additive Abelian group on integers (carrier Z);
    `Nat` is a commutative monoid under addition.
  - Algebraic relationship is **explicit group-completion**:
    `Int ≡ GroupCompletion<CommutativeMonoid<Nat>>` — NOT
    `AbelianGroup<Nat>` parameterization.
  - Worker either models `Int` directly as `AbelianGroup`
    (terminal Abelian-group instance) OR introduces explicit
    `GroupCompletion<M>` substrate carrier; decision lands in
    Phase-1 PR per P1 procedure.
- S3 cross-reference + Phase-4 algebra-axis preservation note
  reframed accordingly.

NON-BLOCKING in-PR cleanup (Practice 4 citation discipline):
- 6 briefs still carrying stale 'Practice 4 Step 4' wording
  (r3-coproduct-1/2/3, r3-l6, r3-t-e-p, r3-x1b) updated to use
  the section anchor (`docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution`)
  + inline rule-text quote ("What to check") form per the
  citation discipline established in `b4cae5299`.

Closes both findings from openai-pro review.

* docs(briefs): Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED — apply Scale.Unit→One rename + ratification banner

Director ratified Q-Unit-1..5 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812). All 5 questions ratified; one rename required:

- Scale enum's `Unit` value collides with outer `Unit<Q, S>` carrier
  name (`Unit<Time, Unit>` is shadowing-confusing). Rename to `One`.
- Duration ≡ Unit<Time, One> (collapses with Seconds per Q-Unit-3).
- Milliseconds ≡ Unit<Time, Milli>.

Canvas updated:
- Top-level RATIFICATION banner records all 5 ratifications + rename
- Scale enum: `Unit` → `One` (with inline rename receipt)
- Sketch product expansions use `Unit<Time, One>` / `Unit<Time, Milli>`
- Phase-3 reframe table products updated
- Q-Unit-3 prose collapse reference updated

Subsequent worker brief authoring (Unit/Quantity carrier landing
post-prerequisite) inherits the renamed shape.

* docs(briefs): Unit/Quantity carrier worker brief — Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED

Worker brief consumes the ratified Unit/Quantity canvas
(`5f22fd06e` ratification banner). Phase-1 lands `Unit<Q, S>` +
`Quantity` + `Scale` declarations at the ratified shape (Scale's
`One` value per Q-Unit-1 rename). Phase-2 reframes S9 Phase-3
dimensional refinements (Duration / Seconds / Milliseconds) to
outer-Refined / inner-Unit composition per Q-Unit-4 RATIFIED.
EpochMs deferred to R4 C6 (Aspect-axis follow-up).

Practice 4 marks pre-determined per Q-Unit-5: `Unit<Q, S>` 🟢
PRIMITIVE; `Quantity` + `Scale` 🟡 SCAFFOLD with "consumed by ≥1
emission rule" dissolution trigger.

Cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for dimensional
emission consumption documented.

Worker pin TBD — dispatchable when idle pool refreshes.

* docs(briefs): S9 Phase-1 reframed — Int landed at #1466; UInt-only migration

Per proud-lynx-311 dispatch ack at gunbc#1739 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: re-grep at HEAD revealed substrate state diverges
materially from S9 brief's "Option A vs B decide" framing.

Reality check at HEAD:
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:55` already carries
  `type Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>>` per Slice 3 PR
  #1466 / commit `4ba0a6d04`. Single-authority Q6 audit doc at
  `docs/audit/t-numeric-construction-group-completion-6q.md`
  ratified this shape and explicitly rejected the compact form.
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:56` still on legacy `type UInt = UInt64`
  alias; UInt migration is the actual Phase-1 worker scope.

Brief Phase-1 step 1 reframed: Int landing acknowledged; worker
confirms HEAD match. Phase-1 step 2 reframed: UInt migration
target named (`type UInt = CommutativeMonoid<Nat>`); fixed-width
rows preserved per existing legacy-rows policy.

Historical Option A vs B framing kept as note (superseded).

Confirmed S9 dispatch ack from worker; UInt-only Phase-1 PR is
in-scope. Emission entries deferred per S3 (valiant-ant-72
pre-landing); Phase-2 deferred per S8 (quiet-boar-160 pre-landing).

* docs(briefs): fix two BLOCKING citation drift items per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 sha 5f22fd0 flagged two authority-receipt
gaps:

1. brief-authoring-checklist.md:118 — `<this-commit>` placeholder in
   the failure-mode section was unverifiable post-merge. Replaced
   with `b4cae5299` (the actual anchor/quote conversion commit).

2. r3-378-http-path-helper-fail-open-worker.md:84 — `INVARIANTS.md
   C-8 fail-closed` cited without anchor or rule-text quote, in
   violation of the citation discipline added in this PR.
   Converted to `INVARIANTS.md#p3-fail-closed` (P3 heading anchor)
   + inline rule-text quote naming P3 + C-8.

PR's own discipline now consistently applied across the diff.

* docs(briefs): sweep bare .md:NNN citations in Substrate-Mgr-authored briefs

Per Director recommendation in citation-discipline thread (gunbc#828
follow-on): bare line-number references drift silently. Swept 19
remaining instances across 5 briefs I authored on this branch:

- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-q-class-2-chain-break-gap-test-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s2-t-lbp-scope-calibration-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s3-machine-constraint-carrier-worker.md

Conversion: bare `file.md:NNN` → `file.md §"Section name"` form.
Stable; survives doc edits; human-readable. Section names per
HEAD heading audit.

Verification: `grep -nE '.md:[0-9]+' docs/briefs/r3-substrate-*.md
docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md` returns zero results in
Substrate-Mgr-authored scope.

Broader corpus scope (~232 references across non-Substrate briefs)
remains as separate paydown task.

* docs(briefs): fix BLOCKING + NON-BLOCKING items per openai-pro review on a462f00

Three findings addressed; 2 BLOCKING + 1 NON-BLOCKING:

BLOCKING — R3/R4 dual authority for Unit/Quantity carrier:
R4 carve-out C6 narrowed from "Unit/Quantity carrier landing"
(deferred all of it) to **"Aspect-axis (PointKind) follow-on
for EpochMs and instant/rate-shaped refinements only"**. The
2-axis Measure<Q,S> carrier landing IS in R3 per Q-Unit-1..5
RATIFIED; only the Aspect axis (PointKind = Magnitude | Instant
| Rate) carves to R4. Cascade-message C6 reference + R4 program-
plan input list updated to match. Cross-Mgr message clarifies
Grounding consumes 2-axis dimensional refinements in R3.

BLOCKING — Locked design partially applied (Scale.Unit→One
rename in canvas alternate-sketch sections):
- Canvas line 105-108 alternate sketch ("Open question: Instant
  vs Duration axis") still used pre-rename `Unit` Scale value;
  added pre-ratification disclaimer marking the section as
  deferred to R4 C6 + noting `Unit` is pre-rename
- Canvas line 163 Q-Unit-3 collapse note: `Scale = Unit` → `Scale = One`

(BLOCKING — bare line-numbers in S1 canvas frontmatter): NOT
APPLICABLE — already fixed at sweep commit 127287a prior to
review; reviewer was on sha a462f00 pre-sweep.

NON-BLOCKING — placeholder receipts:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385393971 (Director's anchor-discipline reply)
- r3-substrate-unit-quantity-carrier-worker.md (3 occurrences)
  + canvas RATIFICATION banner: `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385412256 (Q-Unit ratification reply)
- `<this-commit>` placeholder in checklist already fixed at 5be1c99

Verification: zero `#issuecomment-...` or `<this-commit>` placeholders
in docs/briefs/ + docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md.

* docs(briefs): codex BLOCKING review fixes — Practice 4 source-level + policy scope

Three BLOCKING findings on PR #1782 (codex sha b913e2f):

1. **Citation-discipline policy scope**: addressed by scoping
   the rule prospectively to briefs landing after the policy
   commit (`b4cae5299`). Pre-existing corpus references are
   flagged as paydown but NOT individually blocking; coordinated
   single-PR sweep is the right paydown shape. Substrate-Mgr scope
   already swept at `127287a66`.

2. **R4 C6 reconciliation**: already fixed at `6e5a5481a` (R4 C6
   narrowed to Aspect-axis follow-on for EpochMs only; 2-axis
   carrier landing IS in R3). Codex sha b913e2f was pre-fix.

3. **Practice 4 source-level vs PR-body conflation**: corrected.
   Acceptance bullet for Unit/Quantity worker brief now requires
   inline checkpoint comments on the LIVE declarations in
   `dsl/std/units.dag` (load-bearing artifact per
   `docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution` "What to
   check"). PR-body summary is supplementary, not substitute.

Closes the review's reconciliation gates.

* docs(briefs): absorb Q-MachineConstraint + Q-Unit-1-Recanvas ratifications

Two major Director ratifications absorbed:

1. Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier RATIFIED at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385530115 (Brian directive 2026-05-06: "universal
   substrate, ratify defaults"; PR #1817 queued). 6 sub-decisions:
   - MachineWidth<bits> only for R3; defer RegisterClass / EndianMode
     / Alignment / signedness post-R3
   - Parametric Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint> type-level
     interaction shape (lookup-maps REJECTED — AlgebraMachineProduct
     record-keyed table form retracted)
   - Int<64> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> (algebra-side
     options A and B preserve interaction semantics)
   - Real<64> ≡ Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>, MachineWidth<64>>
     (algebra approx + machine approx as independent composing axes)
   - ≥3 pairs is minimum, not target
   - UNIVERSAL substrate: every target carries machine-constraint
     facts; targets without native machine-width semantics handle
     omission at Grounding-level discharge (target-conditioned
     lowering NOT target-conditioned substrate)

   Reframed: S3 brief Phase-1, S3 Phase-3/4 emission entries,
   S8 Phase-1/2/3 (ApproximateField<Real> → ApproximateField<Rational>;
   AlgebraMachineProduct → Compose<...>), S9 emission entries.

2. Q-Unit-1-Recanvas RATIFIED Measure<Q, S> at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385539791. valiant-ibex-312's substrate-state
   grep caught Unit<Q, S> collision with kernel Unit at
   dsl/std/types.dag:176; Director ratified Measure<Q, S> as
   outer carrier name (conventional in scientific computing;
   no dsl/std/ collision).

   Reframed: Unit/Quantity worker brief throughout (Unit<Q,S> →
   Measure<Q,S>; dsl/std/units.dag → dsl/std/measure.dag); canvas
   spec sections + sketch products (Refined<Measure<Time, ...>...>);
   R4 carve-out C6 with informal/formal name disambiguation note.

Both rename + reshape are now consistent across S3 / S8 / S9 /
Unit-Q briefs + canvas + R4 routing. Workers (valiant-ant-72 on S3,
quiet-boar-160 on S8, proud-lynx-311 on S9, valiant-ibex-312 on
Unit-Q) all dispatch against the ratified shape.

* docs(briefs): S11 Slice C worker brief — ROADMAP :425 retirement post-#1801

Cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1801 (Slice B) merge
2026-05-06. S11 brief authored per B1 RATIFIED prose+regen
bundling discipline.

Phase 1: per-file edits across the post-A+B residual list (~10
files per smart-ram-167's Slice B post-rebase enumeration);
anchor + rule-text-quote pattern per current citation discipline;
bootstrap regen in same PR (no split).

Phase 2: ROADMAP :425 row PARTIAL → Retired with 3-slice receipt;
Q-Slice-C-Retirement-Receipt resolution.

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice B precedent owner.
Dispatch packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED — defer literal Refined form

Director ratified option (c) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06:
drop `non_negative` predicate at Measure (phantom) layer; rely on
`Quantity = Time` tagging for non-negative-magnitude semantics.

Q-Unit-4 outer-Refined / inner-Measure composition is preserved as
**conceptual model**; the literal `Refined<Measure<...>, predicate>`
form is **deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up** when
substrate gains Refined<> as first-class type expression and
dimensional refinements get value-typed integration.

Updates:
- Canvas RATIFICATION banner Q-Unit-4 row reframed to "conceptual
  model; literal form deferred"
- Canvas Phase-3 reframe table: Duration / Milliseconds drop the
  Refined<...> wrapper; rely on Quantity tag
- Worker brief Phase-2 prose + reframe table + Acceptance bullet
  all reflect deferred-literal-form posture

valiant-ibex-312 unblocked to proceed with Phase-2 (Grounding
handoff doc) per the (c)-shaped Acceptance.

* docs(briefs): S12 F2 + F8 doc-sharpening worker brief — post-#1820 cascade

#1820 (Slice C) merged 2026-05-06; ROADMAP :425 row Retired closes
the prose-reference paydown program. S12 cascade-clearance trigger
fires per B6 RATIFIED single bundled Mgr-tier doc-sharpening PR.

Scope: F2 (.v3 filename-suffix grammar dispatch) + F8 (bootstrap
load-order/exclusion authority) — single bundled PR per B6.
Cross-program coordination with PB Mgr (#1742) per design schedule
§3 P5 (comment-only OR co-author; no duplicate PR).

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice C precedent owner;
pattern-familiar with prose+regen bundling discipline. Dispatch
packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): S9 brief — UInt landed via #1818; algebra label corrected to CommutativeSemiring

Per proud-lynx-311 merge report at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: PR #1818 landed `type UInt = Nat` after codex BLOCKING
review on initial `CommutativeMonoid<Nat>` form (P2 facts-flow-forward
violation — wrap projects out Nat's multiplicative monoid + identity 1).

Final landed form preserves full `CommutativeSemiring<Magnitude>`
surface — Nat IS a commutative semiring (addition + multiplication
+ 0 + 1). Algebra-side label for UInt is CommutativeSemiring, NOT
CommutativeMonoid (corrects my earlier dispatch labeling).

S9 Phase-1 step 2 marked LANDED with merge ref. Phase-1 step 3
emission entries reframed:
- Int<N> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<N>>
- UInt<N> ≡ Compose<CommutativeSemiring, MachineWidth<N>>

Worker discipline + reviewer caught a substrate-state error in my
brief framing; brief now matches landed reality.

* docs(briefs): fix contradictory (c) guidance in Unit/Quantity worker brief

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 1bce041 caught a real
contradiction: brief Phase-2 prose at lines 115-118 stated
"predicates do NOT attach at the Measure (phantom) layer" per
Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED, but immediately
following paragraph at lines 130-132 still said "Refined predicate
non_negative applies at the Measure-typed level" — left over from
the original Q-Unit-4 framing.

Updated lines 130-137 to consistently apply (c) shape: predicates
deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up; dimensional semantics
ride on Quantity tag at Measure layer; worker authors 3 in-scope
refinements WITHOUT predicate at this layer.

P2 boundary discipline restored: brief now gives single-authority
guidance for Phase-2 substrate landing.

* docs(briefs): name predicate authority + concretize ratification ID — codex BLOCKING

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 32541a5:

1. (BLOCKING) Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) ratification deferred
   phantom-carrier predicates without naming the value-level predicate
   authority. Updated canvas Q-Unit-4 RATIFICATION row to explicitly
   name: 'predicates re-attach at value-typed Int/UInt level via
   where-sugar (e.g., range(min: 0) per current dsl/std/types.dag
   precedent)' when value-typed integration lands.

2. (BLOCKING) Worker brief option-c reframe didn't sweep the audit
   receipt §5 (Carrier dissolves the bridge). Updated to consistently
   apply (c) shape — dimensional semantics ride on Quantity tag at
   Measure layer; value-level predicate authority deferred; until
   then, range/gt_zero constraints attach at value-typed Int/UInt
   via where-sugar per dsl/std/types.dag convention.

3. (NON-BLOCKING) Canvas had #issuecomment-... placeholder for the
   (c) ratification message ID. Replaced with concrete
   #issuecomment-4385687075 per dashboard relay header.

Brief now names a single value-level authority (Int/UInt where-sugar)
for value-range facts; phantom-layer Quantity tag carries only
dimensional semantics. P2 boundary discipline maintained.

* docs(briefs): S12 RETIRED per Director option (2) ratification

Director ratified option (2) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385873...
2026-05-06 post smart-ram-167's substrate-state STOP-AND-ESCALATE:

- F2 absorbed by 2026-05-04 routing + #1662 closure
  (`Result/DivError span.file-keyed` retired)
- F8 topical concerns distributed across live rows
  (Class 5 Gap 3 `bootstrap.rs::std_fixtures()`; Character-level
  load-set / bootstrap; Filename-sentinel-bridges) with own owners
- Doc-discipline goals absorbed by per-Mgr citation paydown
  routing at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385583247

Frontmatter updated to RETIRED with absorption receipt. Worker
(smart-ram-167) pin freed.

Director-side acknowledgment of Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation:
"Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation is the right move
structurally. Most Mgrs default to 'synthesize work to fill the brief'
when canvas-vs-HEAD mismatch surfaces. Recommending retirement when
the work is genuinely absorbed is harder discipline."

* docs(briefs): S7 PR-F (BoundDeclaration consumer + ReferenceModel<T>) worker brief

Per cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1782 merge 2026-05-06.
loyal-wolf-828 (#1764) acknowledged S7 dispatch with substrate-state
pre-flight grep (gunbc#1764 #issuecomment-4385872...) and surfaced
await-brief posture. This brief satisfies that prerequisite.

Worker pre-flight inventory absorbed:
- BoundDeclaration substrate landed (substrate.dag StaticBound +
  PlatformDependent); partial BoundDeclarationView consumer in
  fold.rs (ScratchIntExamples scope; doc-explicit partial)
- ReferenceModel<T> NOT yet in dsl/std/ (substrate-fact-introduction
  required; design-emission-model.md §Q2 framing)

Phase-1: BoundDeclaration consumer broadening to full
design-emission-model.md surface (u128 / isize / usize / walker
arms / pilot mirror).

Phase-2: ReferenceModel<T> P1 substrate-fact-introduction with
DFS-of-concept-DAG + Practice 4 in-source checkpoint comment +
named consumer demand (Grounding G1).

Phase-3: cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for
G1 (T-Ground-Rust Phase 1).

Closure predicate: unblocks Grounding T-Ground-Rust Phase 1.
Worker pin loyal-wolf-828 holds; dispatch fires immediately
on this brief landing.

* fix(briefs): retire INVARIANTS.md line-number cites in r3-426 brief

Per codex review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cd): the new briefs
introduced fresh `INVARIANTS.md:<line>` citations — the same
stale-line-anchor shape the :425 sweep brief itself names as needing
dissolution. Replaces four line-number references in
r3-426-sfp-subdoc-rename-and-author-worker.md (lines 16, 28, 58, 85)
with prose-anchored locators citing the section anchor + bullet text.

The other PB-lane briefs codex flagged (r3-pb-runtime-equivalence-
corpus-seed-audit.md, r3-pb-t-fixedpoint-worker.md) belong to
neat-bear-351's lane and are not in this PR's scope; will route
separately.

* fix(briefs): correct L6 type count + r3-435 dual-path retirement receipt

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cd):

1. L6 brief said acceptance ratchet asserts "five types" exist but
   declares six (ShapeATarget, FormAxis, BehaviorAxis,
   MethodTemplateContractKey, EmissionCell, EmissionPathProjection).
   Updated both occurrences to enumerate all six explicitly.

2. r3-435 brief authorized both Path A (typed-AST reader, deletes
   IntegrationRsScan) and Path B (scanner widening with Char state),
   but retirement receipt language only covered Path B. Updated
   ROADMAP/ledger retirement and authority-audit step 5 to cover
   both authorized dissolution paths.

* fix(briefs): L6 second 'five types' site + T-E-P lookup-gate authority

Per cursor review on PR #1782 (sha 2072b98):

1. L6 brief acceptance bullet at :131 still said "five types" while
   the parenthetical and the Slice step at :117 said six. The prior
   fix only caught one of two sites; corrected the second.

2. T-E-P brief `e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative` acceptance
   named only `lower_call_pattern` as "the only route from call
   site to LoweringTarget" — but Phase 2 explicitly requires
   lenses route through `per_call_pattern_at` (the L-7 single-
   authority lookup), NOT `lower_call_pattern` (compiler-internal).
   Acceptance text rewritten to name `per_call_pattern_at` as the
   consumer-facing gate and clarify `lower_call_pattern`'s
   internal-only scope.

* fix(briefs): strengthen L6 ratchet from count-parity to per-row bijection

Per openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1782 (sha 2072b98): the L6
acceptance ratchet asserted only row-count parity between
emission_path_projections and the union of MethodTemplateContract
rows. Count parity permits duplicate projection keys and missing
source rows — the bridge from list-non-empty proxy to per-row
projection would not be mechanically proven. The whole point of
introducing MethodTemplateContractKey { target, dag_method } is to
provide 1:1 row identity.

Rewrites the ratchet to assert per-row bijection: every
MethodTemplateContract source row has exactly one matching
EmissionPathProjection row by key; every projection key resolves
to exactly one source row; duplicate projection keys fail closed.

(The other openai-pro BLOCKING finding — T-E-P
e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative naming the wrong authority
— was already fixed at 6282a07; the review citation was against
the pre-fix sha 2072b98.)

* fix(briefs): split L6 ratchet into slice-active vs deferred-activation gates

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at d924594: the prior
bijection ratchet was unsatisfiable as authored. The
*_method_template_contracts lists at HEAD (rust/python/go) are
non-empty; shipping emission_path_projections: [] alongside a
strict bijection requirement means the bijection cannot pass when
the slice lands — source rows would be uncovered. Prior text
incorrectly said "vacuously true on the empty source set" — the
SOURCE set isn't empty, only the projection set is.

Splits the ratchet into two gate categories:
- Slice-active gates: types/data shape exist + empty-state
  predicate (emission_path_projections == []).
- Deferred-activation gate: per-row key bijection, authored as a
  test scaffold by this slice but #[ignore]'d (or feature-gated
  on len > 0) until Grounding's follow-up populates rows. On
  activation, asserts the bijection over the populated set.

This honors P1 doc faithfulness: the slice's acceptance contract
is satisfiable as authored, and the bijection becomes the
load-bearing gate the row-population PR satisfies.

* fix(briefs): require L6 bootstrap enrollment to honor P2 facts-flow-forward

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at L6:34: the slice authored
src/v3/std/cross_target_coverage.dag but never required enrolling
it in the bootstrap/load authority. Without enrollment the file
is dead-letter on disk and EmissionPathProjection can be absent
from the downstream Dag — silent P2 facts-flow-forward violation.

Adds a new Slice step 2 requiring a cross_target_coverage field
on BootstrapFixtures in src/v3/std/extdeps_bootstrap_fixtures.dag
mirroring the *_method_template_contracts enrollment pattern, plus
a loader-visibility ratchet. Renumbers subsequent Slice steps.
Adds matching Acceptance bullet.

* docs(briefs): normalize Practice 4 citation in S3 brief per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 (sha 2614217) flagged stale citation
"Practice 4 (Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist)" in
S3 brief — no such checklist step exists in the pinned rubric.

Live rule per docs/modeling-discipline.md:131-134 is the "What to
check" checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution). Updated the S3 reference to cite that line directly
and drop the stale "Step 4 of type-introduction checklist" wording.

S2/S8/S9 already use bare "Practice 4" without the stale steps wording.
S1 (committed earlier today) does not contain the stale phrase.
S6 (pre-existing brief flagged by reviewer as carrying the same
pattern) is out of this branch's scope; flag for separate paydown.

* docs(briefs): sweep stale Practice 4 citations corpus-wide

Codex review on PR #1782 flagged the stale "Step 4 of the
type-introduction checklist" wording — no such checklist exists in
docs/modeling-discipline.md. The live rule is the "What to check"
checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution) at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131.

Sweep across docs/ found 2 additional briefs carrying the stale
phrasing (S3 fixed previously at 9db003d):

- docs/briefs/r3-l6-emission-path-projection-substrate-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-x1b-s1-transform-dispatch-substrate-worker.md

Both updated to cite the live rule directly. Verified zero
remaining "type-introduction checklist" or "Step 4 of the"
references in docs/ tree.

* docs(briefs): add Practice 4 citation discipline note to authoring checklist

Per parent inbox status flag at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385346221:
add a Citation discipline section to brief-authoring-checklist.md
naming the correct shape — Practice 4 (coproduct dissolution) +
"What to check" rule at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131 — and
calling out the stale "Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist"
phrasing as a failure mode. References the corpus sweep at
2dc92f3.

Prevents future briefs that copy old templates from re-introducing
the stale citation pattern.

* docs(r3): cascade work post-Director ratification — S1 worker, R4 routing, Unit/Quantity canvas

Per Director ratification at gunbc#828 inbox response 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812):

1. S1 Q1+Q2 RATIFIED → author S1 gap-test representative worker brief
   (`r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md`). Dispatchable
   on T-E-P Phase 1 + E6-G0d landing; closes ledger row #61.

2. S2 Q2 RATIFIED (option-(b) T-LBP narrowing) + S3 + S8 deferrals →
   R4 carve-out routing ledger (`docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md`).
   Captures C1 (parallelism lens), C2 (effect_enum lens), C3
   (register narrowing), C4 (deferred MachineConstraint axes),
   C5 (rounding-mode product extension), C6 (Unit/Quantity).
   Cascade messages to Verification / Grounding / Debt-Paydown Mgrs.

3. S9 Phase-3 dimensional refinement boundary → Unit/Quantity carrier
   canvas (`r3-substrate-s9-unit-quantity-carrier-canvas.md`).
   Surfaces Q-Unit-1..5 for Director ratification: carrier name,
   2-axis vs 3-axis Phase-1, Duration/Seconds collapse, Refined
   composition order, Practice 4 classification.

Updates §1.8 ledger receipts for carved items; R3 closure receipts
treat carved items as explicitly-deferred (not drift).

* docs(briefs): citation-discipline fix-forward — anchors/quotes, not line numbers

Director redirect at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... noted the citation
paydown's replacement form (`docs/modeling-discipline.md:131`) is the
same drift class as the original fabricated-step error. Bare line
numbers shift silently on any doc edit above the cited line.

Generalized fix:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md "Citation discipline" section
  rewritten to prohibit bare line-numbers across ALL cross-doc
  references (modeling-discipline.md, r3-program-plan.md,
  r3-structure.md, INVARIANTS.md, MODELING.md, etc.). Use section
  anchors (#section-name) or rule-text quotes.
- 3 briefs that swapped in :131 (S3, S6, X1B) re-converted:
  - docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution anchor
  - "What to check" rule quoted inline (self-contained)

Brief-authoring-checklist failure-mode section names both vectors
(fabricated step + bare line numbers) and references both sweep
commits in audit trail.

Broader cross-doc citation sweep across briefs I authored on this
branch (frontmatter authority-docs lists, body prose) is recommended
per Director note — flagging as separate paydown task; this commit
closes the immediate recurrence vector.

* docs(briefs): fix unfaithful Int=AbelianGroup<Nat> + sweep stale 'Step 4' refs

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 sha 0ecd481 (gunbc#1782 #...):

BLOCKING fix (P1 modeling faithfulness):
- S9 + S3 directed workers to model `Int = AbelianGroup<Nat>`,
  but Nat is not an Abelian-group carrier (additive inverses
  not representable). Reframed:
  - `Int` is the additive Abelian group on integers (carrier Z);
    `Nat` is a commutative monoid under addition.
  - Algebraic relationship is **explicit group-completion**:
    `Int ≡ GroupCompletion<CommutativeMonoid<Nat>>` — NOT
    `AbelianGroup<Nat>` parameterization.
  - Worker either models `Int` directly as `AbelianGroup`
    (terminal Abelian-group instance) OR introduces explicit
    `GroupCompletion<M>` substrate carrier; decision lands in
    Phase-1 PR per P1 procedure.
- S3 cross-reference + Phase-4 algebra-axis preservation note
  reframed accordingly.

NON-BLOCKING in-PR cleanup (Practice 4 citation discipline):
- 6 briefs still carrying stale 'Practice 4 Step 4' wording
  (r3-coproduct-1/2/3, r3-l6, r3-t-e-p, r3-x1b) updated to use
  the section anchor (`docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution`)
  + inline rule-text quote ("What to check") form per the
  citation discipline established in `b4cae5299`.

Closes both findings from openai-pro review.

* docs(briefs): Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED — apply Scale.Unit→One rename + ratification banner

Director ratified Q-Unit-1..5 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812). All 5 questions ratified; one rename required:

- Scale enum's `Unit` value collides with outer `Unit<Q, S>` carrier
  name (`Unit<Time, Unit>` is shadowing-confusing). Rename to `One`.
- Duration ≡ Unit<Time, One> (collapses with Seconds per Q-Unit-3).
- Milliseconds ≡ Unit<Time, Milli>.

Canvas updated:
- Top-level RATIFICATION banner records all 5 ratifications + rename
- Scale enum: `Unit` → `One` (with inline rename receipt)
- Sketch product expansions use `Unit<Time, One>` / `Unit<Time, Milli>`
- Phase-3 reframe table products updated
- Q-Unit-3 prose collapse reference updated

Subsequent worker brief authoring (Unit/Quantity carrier landing
post-prerequisite) inherits the renamed shape.

* docs(briefs): Unit/Quantity carrier worker brief — Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED

Worker brief consumes the ratified Unit/Quantity canvas
(`5f22fd06e` ratification banner). Phase-1 lands `Unit<Q, S>` +
`Quantity` + `Scale` declarations at the ratified shape (Scale's
`One` value per Q-Unit-1 rename). Phase-2 reframes S9 Phase-3
dimensional refinements (Duration / Seconds / Milliseconds) to
outer-Refined / inner-Unit composition per Q-Unit-4 RATIFIED.
EpochMs deferred to R4 C6 (Aspect-axis follow-up).

Practice 4 marks pre-determined per Q-Unit-5: `Unit<Q, S>` 🟢
PRIMITIVE; `Quantity` + `Scale` 🟡 SCAFFOLD with "consumed by ≥1
emission rule" dissolution trigger.

Cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for dimensional
emission consumption documented.

Worker pin TBD — dispatchable when idle pool refreshes.

* docs(briefs): S9 Phase-1 reframed — Int landed at #1466; UInt-only migration

Per proud-lynx-311 dispatch ack at gunbc#1739 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: re-grep at HEAD revealed substrate state diverges
materially from S9 brief's "Option A vs B decide" framing.

Reality check at HEAD:
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:55` already carries
  `type Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>>` per Slice 3 PR
  #1466 / commit `4ba0a6d04`. Single-authority Q6 audit doc at
  `docs/audit/t-numeric-construction-group-completion-6q.md`
  ratified this shape and explicitly rejected the compact form.
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:56` still on legacy `type UInt = UInt64`
  alias; UInt migration is the actual Phase-1 worker scope.

Brief Phase-1 step 1 reframed: Int landing acknowledged; worker
confirms HEAD match. Phase-1 step 2 reframed: UInt migration
target named (`type UInt = CommutativeMonoid<Nat>`); fixed-width
rows preserved per existing legacy-rows policy.

Historical Option A vs B framing kept as note (superseded).

Confirmed S9 dispatch ack from worker; UInt-only Phase-1 PR is
in-scope. Emission entries deferred per S3 (valiant-ant-72
pre-landing); Phase-2 deferred per S8 (quiet-boar-160 pre-landing).

* docs(briefs): fix two BLOCKING citation drift items per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 sha 5f22fd0 flagged two authority-receipt
gaps:

1. brief-authoring-checklist.md:118 — `<this-commit>` placeholder in
   the failure-mode section was unverifiable post-merge. Replaced
   with `b4cae5299` (the actual anchor/quote conversion commit).

2. r3-378-http-path-helper-fail-open-worker.md:84 — `INVARIANTS.md
   C-8 fail-closed` cited without anchor or rule-text quote, in
   violation of the citation discipline added in this PR.
   Converted to `INVARIANTS.md#p3-fail-closed` (P3 heading anchor)
   + inline rule-text quote naming P3 + C-8.

PR's own discipline now consistently applied across the diff.

* docs(briefs): sweep bare .md:NNN citations in Substrate-Mgr-authored briefs

Per Director recommendation in citation-discipline thread (gunbc#828
follow-on): bare line-number references drift silently. Swept 19
remaining instances across 5 briefs I authored on this branch:

- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-q-class-2-chain-break-gap-test-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s2-t-lbp-scope-calibration-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s3-machine-constraint-carrier-worker.md

Conversion: bare `file.md:NNN` → `file.md §"Section name"` form.
Stable; survives doc edits; human-readable. Section names per
HEAD heading audit.

Verification: `grep -nE '.md:[0-9]+' docs/briefs/r3-substrate-*.md
docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md` returns zero results in
Substrate-Mgr-authored scope.

Broader corpus scope (~232 references across non-Substrate briefs)
remains as separate paydown task.

* docs(briefs): fix BLOCKING + NON-BLOCKING items per openai-pro review on a462f00

Three findings addressed; 2 BLOCKING + 1 NON-BLOCKING:

BLOCKING — R3/R4 dual authority for Unit/Quantity carrier:
R4 carve-out C6 narrowed from "Unit/Quantity carrier landing"
(deferred all of it) to **"Aspect-axis (PointKind) follow-on
for EpochMs and instant/rate-shaped refinements only"**. The
2-axis Measure<Q,S> carrier landing IS in R3 per Q-Unit-1..5
RATIFIED; only the Aspect axis (PointKind = Magnitude | Instant
| Rate) carves to R4. Cascade-message C6 reference + R4 program-
plan input list updated to match. Cross-Mgr message clarifies
Grounding consumes 2-axis dimensional refinements in R3.

BLOCKING — Locked design partially applied (Scale.Unit→One
rename in canvas alternate-sketch sections):
- Canvas line 105-108 alternate sketch ("Open question: Instant
  vs Duration axis") still used pre-rename `Unit` Scale value;
  added pre-ratification disclaimer marking the section as
  deferred to R4 C6 + noting `Unit` is pre-rename
- Canvas line 163 Q-Unit-3 collapse note: `Scale = Unit` → `Scale = One`

(BLOCKING — bare line-numbers in S1 canvas frontmatter): NOT
APPLICABLE — already fixed at sweep commit 127287a prior to
review; reviewer was on sha a462f00 pre-sweep.

NON-BLOCKING — placeholder receipts:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385393971 (Director's anchor-discipline reply)
- r3-substrate-unit-quantity-carrier-worker.md (3 occurrences)
  + canvas RATIFICATION banner: `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385412256 (Q-Unit ratification reply)
- `<this-commit>` placeholder in checklist already fixed at 5be1c99

Verification: zero `#issuecomment-...` or `<this-commit>` placeholders
in docs/briefs/ + docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md.

* docs(briefs): codex BLOCKING review fixes — Practice 4 source-level + policy scope

Three BLOCKING findings on PR #1782 (codex sha b913e2f):

1. **Citation-discipline policy scope**: addressed by scoping
   the rule prospectively to briefs landing after the policy
   commit (`b4cae5299`). Pre-existing corpus references are
   flagged as paydown but NOT individually blocking; coordinated
   single-PR sweep is the right paydown shape. Substrate-Mgr scope
   already swept at `127287a66`.

2. **R4 C6 reconciliation**: already fixed at `6e5a5481a` (R4 C6
   narrowed to Aspect-axis follow-on for EpochMs only; 2-axis
   carrier landing IS in R3). Codex sha b913e2f was pre-fix.

3. **Practice 4 source-level vs PR-body conflation**: corrected.
   Acceptance bullet for Unit/Quantity worker brief now requires
   inline checkpoint comments on the LIVE declarations in
   `dsl/std/units.dag` (load-bearing artifact per
   `docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution` "What to
   check"). PR-body summary is supplementary, not substitute.

Closes the review's reconciliation gates.

* docs(briefs): absorb Q-MachineConstraint + Q-Unit-1-Recanvas ratifications

Two major Director ratifications absorbed:

1. Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier RATIFIED at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385530115 (Brian directive 2026-05-06: "universal
   substrate, ratify defaults"; PR #1817 queued). 6 sub-decisions:
   - MachineWidth<bits> only for R3; defer RegisterClass / EndianMode
     / Alignment / signedness post-R3
   - Parametric Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint> type-level
     interaction shape (lookup-maps REJECTED — AlgebraMachineProduct
     record-keyed table form retracted)
   - Int<64> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> (algebra-side
     options A and B preserve interaction semantics)
   - Real<64> ≡ Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>, MachineWidth<64>>
     (algebra approx + machine approx as independent composing axes)
   - ≥3 pairs is minimum, not target
   - UNIVERSAL substrate: every target carries machine-constraint
     facts; targets without native machine-width semantics handle
     omission at Grounding-level discharge (target-conditioned
     lowering NOT target-conditioned substrate)

   Reframed: S3 brief Phase-1, S3 Phase-3/4 emission entries,
   S8 Phase-1/2/3 (ApproximateField<Real> → ApproximateField<Rational>;
   AlgebraMachineProduct → Compose<...>), S9 emission entries.

2. Q-Unit-1-Recanvas RATIFIED Measure<Q, S> at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385539791. valiant-ibex-312's substrate-state
   grep caught Unit<Q, S> collision with kernel Unit at
   dsl/std/types.dag:176; Director ratified Measure<Q, S> as
   outer carrier name (conventional in scientific computing;
   no dsl/std/ collision).

   Reframed: Unit/Quantity worker brief throughout (Unit<Q,S> →
   Measure<Q,S>; dsl/std/units.dag → dsl/std/measure.dag); canvas
   spec sections + sketch products (Refined<Measure<Time, ...>...>);
   R4 carve-out C6 with informal/formal name disambiguation note.

Both rename + reshape are now consistent across S3 / S8 / S9 /
Unit-Q briefs + canvas + R4 routing. Workers (valiant-ant-72 on S3,
quiet-boar-160 on S8, proud-lynx-311 on S9, valiant-ibex-312 on
Unit-Q) all dispatch against the ratified shape.

* docs(briefs): S11 Slice C worker brief — ROADMAP :425 retirement post-#1801

Cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1801 (Slice B) merge
2026-05-06. S11 brief authored per B1 RATIFIED prose+regen
bundling discipline.

Phase 1: per-file edits across the post-A+B residual list (~10
files per smart-ram-167's Slice B post-rebase enumeration);
anchor + rule-text-quote pattern per current citation discipline;
bootstrap regen in same PR (no split).

Phase 2: ROADMAP :425 row PARTIAL → Retired with 3-slice receipt;
Q-Slice-C-Retirement-Receipt resolution.

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice B precedent owner.
Dispatch packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED — defer literal Refined form

Director ratified option (c) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06:
drop `non_negative` predicate at Measure (phantom) layer; rely on
`Quantity = Time` tagging for non-negative-magnitude semantics.

Q-Unit-4 outer-Refined / inner-Measure composition is preserved as
**conceptual model**; the literal `Refined<Measure<...>, predicate>`
form is **deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up** when
substrate gains Refined<> as first-class type expression and
dimensional refinements get value-typed integration.

Updates:
- Canvas RATIFICATION banner Q-Unit-4 row reframed to "conceptual
  model; literal form deferred"
- Canvas Phase-3 reframe table: Duration / Milliseconds drop the
  Refined<...> wrapper; rely on Quantity tag
- Worker brief Phase-2 prose + reframe table + Acceptance bullet
  all reflect deferred-literal-form posture

valiant-ibex-312 unblocked to proceed with Phase-2 (Grounding
handoff doc) per the (c)-shaped Acceptance.

* docs(briefs): S12 F2 + F8 doc-sharpening worker brief — post-#1820 cascade

#1820 (Slice C) merged 2026-05-06; ROADMAP :425 row Retired closes
the prose-reference paydown program. S12 cascade-clearance trigger
fires per B6 RATIFIED single bundled Mgr-tier doc-sharpening PR.

Scope: F2 (.v3 filename-suffix grammar dispatch) + F8 (bootstrap
load-order/exclusion authority) — single bundled PR per B6.
Cross-program coordination with PB Mgr (#1742) per design schedule
§3 P5 (comment-only OR co-author; no duplicate PR).

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice C precedent owner;
pattern-familiar with prose+regen bundling discipline. Dispatch
packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): S9 brief — UInt landed via #1818; algebra label corrected to CommutativeSemiring

Per proud-lynx-311 merge report at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: PR #1818 landed `type UInt = Nat` after codex BLOCKING
review on initial `CommutativeMonoid<Nat>` form (P2 facts-flow-forward
violation — wrap projects out Nat's multiplicative monoid + identity 1).

Final landed form preserves full `CommutativeSemiring<Magnitude>`
surface — Nat IS a commutative semiring (addition + multiplication
+ 0 + 1). Algebra-side label for UInt is CommutativeSemiring, NOT
CommutativeMonoid (corrects my earlier dispatch labeling).

S9 Phase-1 step 2 marked LANDED with merge ref. Phase-1 step 3
emission entries reframed:
- Int<N> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<N>>
- UInt<N> ≡ Compose<CommutativeSemiring, MachineWidth<N>>

Worker discipline + reviewer caught a substrate-state error in my
brief framing; brief now matches landed reality.

* docs(briefs): fix contradictory (c) guidance in Unit/Quantity worker brief

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 1bce041 caught a real
contradiction: brief Phase-2 prose at lines 115-118 stated
"predicates do NOT attach at the Measure (phantom) layer" per
Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED, but immediately
following paragraph at lines 130-132 still said "Refined predicate
non_negative applies at the Measure-typed level" — left over from
the original Q-Unit-4 framing.

Updated lines 130-137 to consistently apply (c) shape: predicates
deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up; dimensional semantics
ride on Quantity tag at Measure layer; worker authors 3 in-scope
refinements WITHOUT predicate at this layer.

P2 boundary discipline restored: brief now gives single-authority
guidance for Phase-2 substrate landing.

* docs(briefs): name predicate authority + concretize ratification ID — codex BLOCKING

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 32541a5:

1. (BLOCKING) Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) ratification deferred
   phantom-carrier predicates without naming the value-level predicate
   authority. Updated canvas Q-Unit-4 RATIFICATION row to explicitly
   name: 'predicates re-attach at value-typed Int/UInt level via
   where-sugar (e.g., range(min: 0) per current dsl/std/types.dag
   precedent)' when value-typed integration lands.

2. (BLOCKING) Worker brief option-c reframe didn't sweep the audit
   receipt §5 (Carrier dissolves the bridge). Updated to consistently
   apply (c) shape — dimensional semantics ride on Quantity tag at
   Measure layer; value-level predicate authority deferred; until
   then, range/gt_zero constraints attach at value-typed Int/UInt
   via where-sugar per dsl/std/types.dag convention.

3. (NON-BLOCKING) Canvas had #issuecomment-... placeholder for the
   (c) ratification message ID. Replaced with concrete
   #issuecomment-4385687075 per dashboard relay header.

Brief now names a single value-level authority (Int/UInt where-sugar)
for value-range facts; phantom-layer Quantity tag carries only
dimensional semantics. P2 boundary discipline maintained.

* docs(briefs): S12 RETIRED per Director option (2) ratification

Director ratified option (2) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385873...
2026-05-06 post smart-ram-167's substrate-state STOP-AND-ESCALATE:

- F2 absorbed by 2026-05-04 routing + #1662 closure
  (`Result/DivError span.file-keyed` retired)
- F8 topical concerns distributed across live rows
  (Class 5 Gap 3 `bootstrap.rs::std_fixtures()`; Character-level
  load-set / bootstrap; Filename-sentinel-bridges) with own owners
- Doc-discipline goals absorbed by per-Mgr citation paydown
  routing at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385583247

Frontmatter updated to RETIRED with absorption receipt. Worker
(smart-ram-167) pin freed.

Director-side acknowledgment of Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation:
"Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation is the right move
structurally. Most Mgrs default to 'synthesize work to fill the brief'
when canvas-vs-HEAD mismatch surfaces. Recommending retirement when
the work is genuinely absorbed is harder discipline."

* docs(briefs): S7 PR-F (BoundDeclaration consumer + ReferenceModel<T>) worker brief

Per cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1782 merge 2026-05-06.
loyal-wolf-828 (#1764) acknowledged S7 dispatch with substrate-state
pre-flight grep (gunbc#1764 #issuecomment-4385872...) and surfaced
await-brief posture. This brief satisfies that prerequisite.

Worker pre-flight inventory absorbed:
- BoundDeclaration substrate landed (substrate.dag StaticBound +
  PlatformDependent); partial BoundDeclarationView consumer in
  fold.rs (ScratchIntExamples scope; doc-explicit partial)
- ReferenceModel<T> NOT yet in dsl/std/ (substrate-fact-introduction
  required; design-emission-model.md §Q2 framing)

Phase-1: BoundDeclaration consumer broadening to full
design-emission-model.md surface (u128 / isize / usize / walker
arms / pilot mirror).

Phase-2: ReferenceModel<T> P1 substrate-fact-introduction with
DFS-of-concept-DAG + Practice 4 in-source checkpoint comment +
named consumer demand (Grounding G1).

Phase-3: cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for
G1 (T-Ground-Rust Phase 1).

Closure predicate: unblocks Grounding T-Ground-Rust Phase 1.
Worker pin loyal-wolf-828 holds; dispatch fires immediately
on this brief landing.

* docs(briefs): S9 Slice 2.5 — predicate-registry + PB-1 shim retirement (Path 3 RATIFIED)

Director ratified Path 3 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4390333451
post proud-lynx-311's pre-flight DFS at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-4390253616.

Brief reframes Slice 2.5 from S-sized (primitive + 1 consumer) to
L-sized (predicate registry + PB-1 shim retirement). 5 deliverables:
1. gt_zero primitive predicate
2. Predicate registry infrastructure (resolver-side substrate-fact-introduction)
3. PB-1 shim retirement (span.file=='dsl/std/types.dag' special case dissolves)
4. Migration of existing types.dag predicates (range, pattern, etc.)
5. PositiveInt = Refined<Nat, gt_zero> consumer update

Per Director hard scope bars: no parallel predicate-resolution path;
no per-call-site special-casing; PB-1 shim retirement non-negotiable
in same slice. Single PR per Path 3 RATIFIED.

Discipline anchors: feedback_construction_over_ratchets (PB-1 shim
is bridge); feedback_dissolve_bridges (registry is structural fix);
feedback_no_textual_enforcement_bridges (file-path special-case is
anti-pattern shape); P1 substrate-fact-introduction procedure.

Worker pin proud-lynx-311 — Director pre-cleared on pre-flight DFS
context. PR #1840 (partial Slice 2 — NonNegativeInt = Nat) MERGED
at 16:54Z; Slice 2.5 dispatchable immediately on this brief landing.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 audit receipt — Mgr independent grep parallel-verifies worker DFS

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1845 sha 2d23094 flagged: external PR
receipt absorbed as live substrate state without re-grepping local
std declarations at brief authoring time. Authority receipt §1
cited proud-lynx-311's pre-flight DFS as authority but didn't
record Mgr-side independent verification.

Updated audit receipt §1 + §4 to record Mgr's independent grep at
HEAD as parallel verification:
- gt_zero zero matches in dsl/std/ + src/v3/ (verified)
- NonNegativeInt = Nat at dsl/std/integer.dag:133 (#1840 land)
- PositiveInt = Int where range(min: 1) at dsl/std/types.dag:255
- PB-1 shim doc-block confirms bridge-text framing
- Predicate registry confirmed not present

Worker DFS remains the dispatch-time discipline (substrate-state
grep at dispatch); Mgr's independent grep is parallel verification,
not substitute. Per Director's pattern note at gunbc#828
#issuecomment-4390199218 + #issuecomment-4390333451: dispatch-packet
authoring discipline includes Mgr-side substrate-state-grep, not
just relay of worker findings.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Int extensibility scope-bound; lower.rs cites anchored

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1845 sha 2d23094 flagged 2 issues:

BLOCKING — P1 modeling faithfulness / substrate scope leak:
`gt_zero` Int-side extensibility was left to 'worker judgment if
generalization cheap'. Per feedback_construction_over_ratchets:
don't speculatively extend predicate-carrier compatibility ahead
of named consumer demand. Reframed to **EXPLICITLY OUT-OF-SCOPE**
for Slice 2.5; Nat-only registration. Future Int-side consumer
surfaces as separate substrate-fact-introduction (P1 procedure)
brief with own consumer-demand receipt.

NON-BLOCKING — citation discipline self-violation:
3 instances of bare `lower.rs:821-835` line-range citations
contradict the brief's own 'no bare :NNN' requirement at line 211.
Converted to function-name anchored form:
`src/v3/compiler/src/lower.rs` (`lower_type_alias_refinements_phase` doc-block).

Both findings absorbed; no parallel scope ambiguity remains;
brief now self-consistent on citation discipline.

* WIP: R3 Substrate

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — audit-receipt cites converted to declaration-name anchors

cursor APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS on PR #1845 sha ebf6ac1 noted citation
self-inconsistency: audit-receipt section §1 + §4 used bare
`dsl/std/integer.dag:133` and `dsl/std/types.dag:255` line-number
pins despite the brief's own no-bare-:NNN rule.

Converted to declaration-name-anchored form:
- 'declaration named NonNegativeInt' (with reproducible grep command)
- 'declaration named PositiveInt' (with reproducible grep command)
- 'lower_type_alias_refinements_phase doc-block' for PB-1 location

Brief now fully self-consistent on its own citation discipline.
Verified zero remaining .dag:NNN / .rs:NNN / .md:NNN bare cites.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Path (a) RATIFIED carrier+argument contract verification

Director Path (a) RATIFIED at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4390760353
(triage) + #issuecomment-4390794121 (convergence ack):
predicate-body lowering with carrier+argument contract
verification at lower-time IN SAME SLICE. Placeholder semantics
REMOVED from registry path.

Codex REQUEST_CHANGES surfaced that registered-predicate-without-
contract = silent acceptance per feedback_fail_closed_discipline.
Brief reframe absorbs Path (a):

Hard scope bar #5 added:
- Same-slice carrier+argument-contract verification
- Mismatched carrier OR malformed argument → Diagnostic::ResolveError
- No 'named but not checked' path remains

Scope expansion section added (L → XL):
- Predicate-body lowering for all 7 registered predicates
- Per-predicate arg-shape validation
- Multi-session work acknowledged
- Carrier-check at 788d6ac retained; predicate-body builds on top

Acceptance bullets updated: gt_zero with arg-shape validation +
all 7 predicates with carrier+argument contract verification.

Director-pinned brief-authoring discipline: dissolution trigger
named in a brief authored as substrate-fact-introduction must
specify same-slice acceptance, not deferred follow-up. Otherwise
the brief encodes 'land bridge + defer dissolution' anti-pattern,
the same shape feedback_construction_over_ratchets warns against
at implementation layer applied at brief authoring layer.

This is the 11th miss this session — but the pattern surfacing it
(direct sweep + Codex REQUEST_CHANGES + Director ratification)
produces structural fixes that prevent the next miss class. Brief
revision is the structural recovery.

* fix(briefs): retire INVARIANTS.md line-number cites in r3-426 brief

Per codex review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cd): the new briefs
introduced fresh `INVARIANTS.md:<line>` citations — the same
stale-line-anchor shape the :425 sweep brief itself names as needing
dissolution. Replaces four line-number references in
r3-426-sfp-subdoc-rename-and-author-worker.md (lines 16, 28, 58, 85)
with prose-anchored locators citing the section anchor + bullet text.

The other PB-lane briefs codex flagged (r3-pb-runtime-equivalence-
corpus-seed-audit.md, r3-pb-t-fixedpoint-worker.md) belong to
neat-bear-351's lane and are not in this PR's scope; will route
separately.

* fix(briefs): correct L6 type count + r3-435 dual-path retirement receipt

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cd):

1. L6 brief said acceptance ratchet asserts "five types" exist but
   declares six (ShapeATarget, FormAxis, BehaviorAxis,
   MethodTemplateContractKey, EmissionCell, EmissionPathProjection).
   Updated both occurrences to enumerate all six explicitly.

2. r3-435 brief authorized both Path A (typed-AST reader, deletes
   IntegrationRsScan) and Path B (scanner widening with Char state),
   but retirement receipt language only covered Path B. Updated
   ROADMAP/ledger retirement and authority-audit step 5 to cover
   both authorized dissolution paths.

* fix(briefs): L6 second 'five types' site + T-E-P lookup-gate authority

Per cursor review on PR #1782 (sha 2072b98):

1. L6 brief acceptance bullet at :131 still said "five types" while
   the parenthetical and the Slice step at :117 said six. The prior
   fix only caught one of two sites; corrected the second.

2. T-E-P brief `e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative` acceptance
   named only `lower_call_pattern` as "the only route from call
   site to LoweringTarget" — but Phase 2 explicitly requires
   lenses route through `per_call_pattern_at` (the L-7 single-
   authority lookup), NOT `lower_call_pattern` (compiler-internal).
   Acceptance text rewritten to name `per_call_pattern_at` as the
   consumer-facing gate and clarify `lower_call_pattern`'s
   internal-only scope.

* fix(briefs): strengthen L6 ratchet from count-parity to per-row bijection

Per openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1782 (sha 2072b98): the L6
acceptance ratchet asserted only row-count parity between
emission_path_projections and the union of MethodTemplateContract
rows. Count parity permits duplicate projection keys and missing
source rows — the bridge from list-non-empty proxy to per-row
projection would not be mechanically proven. The whole point of
introducing MethodTemplateContractKey { target, dag_method } is to
provide 1:1 row identity.

Rewrites the ratchet to assert per-row bijection: every
MethodTemplateContract source row has exactly one matching
EmissionPathProjection row by key; every projection key resolves
to exactly one source row; duplicate projection keys fail closed.

(The other openai-pro BLOCKING finding — T-E-P
e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative naming the wrong authority
— was already fixed at 6282a07; the review citation was against
the pre-fix sha 2072b98.)

* fix(briefs): split L6 ratchet into slice-active vs deferred-activation gates

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at d924594: the prior
bijection ratchet was unsatisfiable as authored. The
*_method_template_contracts lists at HEAD (rust/python/go) are
non-empty; shipping emission_path_projections: [] alongside a
strict bijection requirement means the bijection cannot pass when
the slice lands — source rows would be uncovered. Prior text
incorrectly said "vacuously true on the empty source set" — the
SOURCE set isn't empty, only the projection set is.

Splits the ratchet into two gate categories:
- Slice-active gates: types/data shape exist + empty-state
  predicate (emission_path_projections == []).
- Deferred-activation gate: per-row key bijection, authored as a
  test scaffold by this slice but #[ignore]'d (or feature-gated
  on len > 0) until Grounding's follow-up populates rows. On
  activation, asserts the bijection over the populated set.

This honors P1 doc faithfulness: the slice's acceptance contract
is satisfiable as authored, and the bijection becomes the
load-bearing gate the row-population PR satisfies.

* fix(briefs): require L6 bootstrap enrollment to honor P2 facts-flow-forward

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at L6:34: the slice authored
src/v3/std/cross_target_coverage.dag but never required enrolling
it in the bootstrap/load authority. Without enrollment the file
is dead-letter on disk and EmissionPathProjection can be absent
from the downstream Dag — silent P2 facts-flow-forward violation.

Adds a new Slice step 2 requiring a cross_target_coverage field
on BootstrapFixtures in src/v3/std/extdeps_bootstrap_fixtures.dag
mirroring the *_method_template_contracts enrollment pattern, plus
a loader-visibility ratchet. Renumbers subsequent Slice steps.
Adds matching Acceptance bullet.

* docs(briefs): normalize Practice 4 citation in S3 brief per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 (sha 2614217) flagged stale citation
"Practice 4 (Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist)" in
S3 brief — no such checklist step exists in the pinned rubric.

Live rule per docs/modeling-discipline.md:131-134 is the "What to
check" checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution). Updated the S3 reference to cite that line directly
and drop the stale "Step 4 of type-introduction checklist" wording.

S2/S8/S9 already use bare "Practice 4" without the stale steps wording.
S1 (committed earlier today) does not contain the stale phrase.
S6 (pre-existing brief flagged by reviewer as carrying the same
pattern) is out of this branch's scope; flag for separate paydown.

* docs(briefs): sweep stale Practice 4 citations corpus-wide

Codex review on PR #1782 flagged the stale "Step 4 of the
type-introduction checklist" wording — no such checklist exists in
docs/modeling-discipline.md. The live rule is the "What to check"
checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution) at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131.

Sweep across docs/ found 2 additional briefs carrying the stale
phrasing (S3 fixed previously at 9db003d):

- docs/briefs/r3-l6-emission-path-projection-substrate-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-x1b-s1-transform-dispatch-substrate-worker.md

Both updated to cite the live rule directly. Verified zero
remaining "type-introduction checklist" or "Step 4 of the"
references in docs/ tree.

* docs(briefs): add Practice 4 citation discipline note to authoring checklist

Per parent inbox status flag at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385346221:
add a Citation discipline section to brief-authoring-checklist.md
naming the correct shape — Practice 4 (coproduct dissolution) +
"What to check" rule at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131 — and
calling out the stale "Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist"
phrasing as a failure mode. References the corpus sweep at
2dc92f3.

Prevents future briefs that copy old templates from re-introducing
the stale citation pattern.

* docs(r3): cascade work post-Director ratification — S1 worker, R4 routing, Unit/Quantity canvas

Per Director ratification at gunbc#828 inbox response 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812):

1. S1 Q1+Q2 RATIFIED → author S1 gap-test representative worker brief
   (`r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md`). Dispatchable
   on T-E-P Phase 1 + E6-G0d landing; closes ledger row #61.

2. S2 Q2 RATIFIED (option-(b) T-LBP narrowing) + S3 + S8 deferrals →
   R4 carve-out routing ledger (`docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md`).
   Captures C1 (parallelism lens), C2 (effect_enum lens), C3
   (register narrowing), C4 (deferred MachineConstraint axes),
   C5 (rounding-mode product extension), C6 (Unit/Quantity).
   Cascade messages to Verification / Grounding / Debt-Paydown Mgrs.

3. S9 Phase-3 dimensional refinement boundary → Unit/Quantity carrier
   canvas (`r3-substrate-s9-unit-quantity-carrier-canvas.md`).
   Surfaces Q-Unit-1..5 for Director ratification: carrier name,
   2-axis vs 3-axis Phase-1, Duration/Seconds collapse, Refined
   composition order, Practice 4 classification.

Updates §1.8 ledger receipts for carved items; R3 closure receipts
treat carved items as explicitly-deferred (not drift).

* docs(briefs): citation-discipline fix-forward — anchors/quotes, not line numbers

Director redirect at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... noted the citation
paydown's replacement form (`docs/modeling-discipline.md:131`) is the
same drift class as the original fabricated-step error. Bare line
numbers shift silently on any doc edit above the cited line.

Generalized fix:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md "Citation discipline" section
  rewritten to prohibit bare line-numbers across ALL cross-doc
  references (modeling-discipline.md, r3-program-plan.md,
  r3-structure.md, INVARIANTS.md, MODELING.md, etc.). Use section
  anchors (#section-name) or rule-text quotes.
- 3 briefs that swapped in :131 (S3, S6, X1B) re-converted:
  - docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution anchor
  - "What to check" rule quoted inline (self-contained)

Brief-authoring-checklist failure-mode section names both vectors
(fabricated step + bare line numbers) and references both sweep
commits in audit trail.

Broader cross-doc citation sweep across briefs I authored on this
branch (frontmatter authority-docs lists, body prose) is recommended
per Director note — flagging as separate paydown task; this commit
closes the immediate recurrence vector.

* docs(briefs): fix unfaithful Int=AbelianGroup<Nat> + sweep stale 'Step 4' refs

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 sha 0ecd481 (gunbc#1782 #...):

BLOCKING fix (P1 modeling faithfulness):
- S9 + S3 directed workers to model `Int = AbelianGroup<Nat>`,
  but Nat is not an Abelian-group carrier (additive inverses
  not representable). Reframed:
  - `Int` is the additive Abelian group on integers (carrier Z);
    `Nat` is a commutative monoid under addition.
  - Algebraic relationship is **explicit group-completion**:
    `Int ≡ GroupCompletion<CommutativeMonoid<Nat>>` — NOT
    `AbelianGroup<Nat>` parameterization.
  - Worker either models `Int` directly as `AbelianGroup`
    (terminal Abelian-group instance) OR introduces explicit
    `GroupCompletion<M>` substrate carrier; decision lands in
    Phase-1 PR per P1 procedure.
- S3 cross-reference + Phase-4 algebra-axis preservation note
  reframed accordingly.

NON-BLOCKING in-PR cleanup (Practice 4 citation discipline):
- 6 briefs still carrying stale 'Practice 4 Step 4' wording
  (r3-coproduct-1/2/3, r3-l6, r3-t-e-p, r3-x1b) updated to use
  the section anchor (`docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution`)
  + inline rule-text quote ("What to check") form per the
  citation discipline established in `b4cae5299`.

Closes both findings from openai-pro review.

* docs(briefs): Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED — apply Scale.Unit→One rename + ratification banner

Director ratified Q-Unit-1..5 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812). All 5 questions ratified; one rename required:

- Scale enum's `Unit` value collides with outer `Unit<Q, S>` carrier
  name (`Unit<Time, Unit>` is shadowing-confusing). Rename to `One`.
- Duration ≡ Unit<Time, One> (collapses with Seconds per Q-Unit-3).
- Milliseconds ≡ Unit<Time, Milli>.

Canvas updated:
- Top-level RATIFICATION banner records all 5 ratifications + rename
- Scale enum: `Unit` → `One` (with inline rename receipt)
- Sketch product expansions use `Unit<Time, One>` / `Unit<Time, Milli>`
- Phase-3 reframe table products updated
- Q-Unit-3 prose collapse reference updated

Subsequent worker brief authoring (Unit/Quantity carrier landing
post-prerequisite) inherits the renamed shape.

* docs(briefs): Unit/Quantity carrier worker brief — Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED

Worker brief consumes the ratified Unit/Quantity canvas
(`5f22fd06e` ratification banner). Phase-1 lands `Unit<Q, S>` +
`Quantity` + `Scale` declarations at the ratified shape (Scale's
`One` value per Q-Unit-1 rename). Phase-2 reframes S9 Phase-3
dimensional refinements (Duration / Seconds / Milliseconds) to
outer-Refined / inner-Unit composition per Q-Unit-4 RATIFIED.
EpochMs deferred to R4 C6 (Aspect-axis follow-up).

Practice 4 marks pre-determined per Q-Unit-5: `Unit<Q, S>` 🟢
PRIMITIVE; `Quantity` + `Scale` 🟡 SCAFFOLD with "consumed by ≥1
emission rule" dissolution trigger.

Cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for dimensional
emission consumption documented.

Worker pin TBD — dispatchable when idle pool refreshes.

* docs(briefs): S9 Phase-1 reframed — Int landed at #1466; UInt-only migration

Per proud-lynx-311 dispatch ack at gunbc#1739 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: re-grep at HEAD revealed substrate state diverges
materially from S9 brief's "Option A vs B decide" framing.

Reality check at HEAD:
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:55` already carries
  `type Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>>` per Slice 3 PR
  #1466 / commit `4ba0a6d04`. Single-authority Q6 audit doc at
  `docs/audit/t-numeric-construction-group-completion-6q.md`
  ratified this shape and explicitly rejected the compact form.
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:56` still on legacy `type UInt = UInt64`
  alias; UInt migration is the actual Phase-1 worker scope.

Brief Phase-1 step 1 reframed: Int landing acknowledged; worker
confirms HEAD match. Phase-1 step 2 reframed: UInt migration
target named (`type UInt = CommutativeMonoid<Nat>`); fixed-width
rows preserved per existing legacy-rows policy.

Historical Option A vs B framing kept as note (superseded).

Confirmed S9 dispatch ack from worker; UInt-only Phase-1 PR is
in-scope. Emission entries deferred per S3 (valiant-ant-72
pre-landing); Phase-2 deferred per S8 (quiet-boar-160 pre-landing).

* docs(briefs): fix two BLOCKING citation drift items per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 sha 5f22fd0 flagged two authority-receipt
gaps:

1. brief-authoring-checklist.md:118 — `<this-commit>` placeholder in
   the failure-mode section was unverifiable post-merge. Replaced
   with `b4cae5299` (the actual anchor/quote conversion commit).

2. r3-378-http-path-helper-fail-open-worker.md:84 — `INVARIANTS.md
   C-8 fail-closed` cited without anchor or rule-text quote, in
   violation of the citation discipline added in this PR.
   Converted to `INVARIANTS.md#p3-fail-closed` (P3 heading anchor)
   + inline rule-text quote naming P3 + C-8.

PR's own discipline now consistently applied across the diff.

* docs(briefs): sweep bare .md:NNN citations in Substrate-Mgr-authored briefs

Per Director recommendation in citation-discipline thread (gunbc#828
follow-on): bare line-number references drift silently. Swept 19
remaining instances across 5 briefs I authored on this branch:

- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-q-class-2-chain-break-gap-test-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s2-t-lbp-scope-calibration-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s3-machine-constraint-carrier-worker.md

Conversion: bare `file.md:NNN` → `file.md §"Section name"` form.
Stable; survives doc edits; human-readable. Section names per
HEAD heading audit.

Verification: `grep -nE '.md:[0-9]+' docs/briefs/r3-substrate-*.md
docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md` returns zero results in
Substrate-Mgr-authored scope.

Broader corpus scope (~232 references across non-Substrate briefs)
remains as separate paydown task.

* docs(briefs): fix BLOCKING + NON-BLOCKING items per openai-pro review on a462f00

Three findings addressed; 2 BLOCKING + 1 NON-BLOCKING:

BLOCKING — R3/R4 dual authority for Unit/Quantity carrier:
R4 carve-out C6 narrowed from "Unit/Quantity carrier landing"
(deferred all of it) to **"Aspect-axis (PointKind) follow-on
for EpochMs and instant/rate-shaped refinements only"**. The
2-axis Measure<Q,S> carrier landing IS in R3 per Q-Unit-1..5
RATIFIED; only the Aspect axis (PointKind = Magnitude | Instant
| Rate) carves to R4. Cascade-message C6 reference + R4 program-
plan input list updated to match. Cross-Mgr message clarifies
Grounding consumes 2-axis dimensional refinements in R3.

BLOCKING — Locked design partially applied (Scale.Unit→One
rename in canvas alternate-sketch sections):
- Canvas line 105-108 alternate sketch ("Open question: Instant
  vs Duration axis") still used pre-rename `Unit` Scale value;
  added pre-ratification disclaimer marking the section as
  deferred to R4 C6 + noting `Unit` is pre-rename
- Canvas line 163 Q-Unit-3 collapse note: `Scale = Unit` → `Scale = One`

(BLOCKING — bare line-numbers in S1 canvas frontmatter): NOT
APPLICABLE — already fixed at sweep commit 127287a prior to
review; reviewer was on sha a462f00 pre-sweep.

NON-BLOCKING — placeholder receipts:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385393971 (Director's anchor-discipline reply)
- r3-substrate-unit-quantity-carrier-worker.md (3 occurrences)
  + canvas RATIFICATION banner: `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385412256 (Q-Unit ratification reply)
- `<this-commit>` placeholder in checklist already fixed at 5be1c99

Verification: zero `#issuecomment-...` or `<this-commit>` placeholders
in docs/briefs/ + docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md.

* docs(briefs): codex BLOCKING review fixes — Practice 4 source-level + policy scope

Three BLOCKING findings on PR #1782 (codex sha b913e2f):

1. **Citation-discipline policy scope**: addressed by scoping
   the rule prospectively to briefs landing after the policy
   commit (`b4cae5299`). Pre-existing corpus references are
   flagged as paydown but NOT individually blocking; coordinated
   single-PR sweep is the right paydown shape. Substrate-Mgr scope
   already swept at `127287a66`.

2. **R4 C6 reconciliation**: already fixed at `6e5a5481a` (R4 C6
   narrowed to Aspect-axis follow-on for EpochMs only; 2-axis
   carrier landing IS in R3). Codex sha b913e2f was pre-fix.

3. **Practice 4 source-level vs PR-body conflation**: corrected.
   Acceptance bullet for Unit/Quantity worker brief now requires
   inline checkpoint comments on the LIVE declarations in
   `dsl/std/units.dag` (load-bearing artifact per
   `docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution` "What to
   check"). PR-body summary is supplementary, not substitute.

Closes the review's reconciliation gates.

* docs(briefs): absorb Q-MachineConstraint + Q-Unit-1-Recanvas ratifications

Two major Director ratifications absorbed:

1. Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier RATIFIED at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385530115 (Brian directive 2026-05-06: "universal
   substrate, ratify defaults"; PR #1817 queued). 6 sub-decisions:
   - MachineWidth<bits> only for R3; defer RegisterClass / EndianMode
     / Alignment / signedness post-R3
   - Parametric Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint> type-level
     interaction shape (lookup-maps REJECTED — AlgebraMachineProduct
     record-keyed table form retracted)
   - Int<64> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> (algebra-side
     options A and B preserve interaction semantics)
   - Real<64> ≡ Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>, MachineWidth<64>>
     (algebra approx + machine approx as independent composing axes)
   - ≥3 pairs is minimum, not target
   - UNIVERSAL substrate: every target carries machine-constraint
     facts; targets without native machine-width semantics handle
     omission at Grounding-level discharge (target-conditioned
     lowering NOT target-conditioned substrate)

   Reframed: S3 brief Phase-1, S3 Phase-3/4 emission entries,
   S8 Phase-1/2/3 (ApproximateField<Real> → ApproximateField<Rational>;
   AlgebraMachineProduct → Compose<...>), S9 emission entries.

2. Q-Unit-1-Recanvas RATIFIED Measure<Q, S> at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385539791. valiant-ibex-312's substrate-state
   grep caught Unit<Q, S> collision with kernel Unit at
   dsl/std/types.dag:176; Director ratified Measure<Q, S> as
   outer carrier name (conventional in scientific computing;
   no dsl/std/ collision).

   Reframed: Unit/Quantity worker brief throughout (Unit<Q,S> →
   Measure<Q,S>; dsl/std/units.dag → dsl/std/measure.dag); canvas
   spec sections + sketch products (Refined<Measure<Time, ...>...>);
   R4 carve-out C6 with informal/formal name disambiguation note.

Both rename + reshape are now consistent across S3 / S8 / S9 /
Unit-Q briefs + canvas + R4 routing. Workers (valiant-ant-72 on S3,
quiet-boar-160 on S8, proud-lynx-311 on S9, valiant-ibex-312 on
Unit-Q) all dispatch against the ratified shape.

* docs(briefs): S11 Slice C worker brief — ROADMAP :425 retirement post-#1801

Cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1801 (Slice B) merge
2026-05-06. S11 brief authored per B1 RATIFIED prose+regen
bundling discipline.

Phase 1: per-file edits across the post-A+B residual list (~10
files per smart-ram-167's Slice B post-rebase enumeration);
anchor + rule-text-quote pattern per current citation discipline;
bootstrap regen in same PR (no split).

Phase 2: ROADMAP :425 row PARTIAL → Retired with 3-slice receipt;
Q-Slice-C-Retirement-Receipt resolution.

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice B precedent owner.
Dispatch packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED — defer literal Refined form

Director ratified option (c) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06:
drop `non_negative` predicate at Measure (phantom) layer; rely on
`Quantity = Time` tagging for non-negative-magnitude semantics.

Q-Unit-4 outer-Refined / inner-Measure composition is preserved as
**conceptual model**; the literal `Refined<Measure<...>, predicate>`
form is **deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up** when
substrate gains Refined<> as first-class type expression and
dimensional refinements get value-typed integration.

Updates:
- Canvas RATIFICATION banner Q-Unit-4 row reframed to "conceptual
  model; literal form deferred"
- Canvas Phase-3 reframe table: Duration / Milliseconds drop the
  Refined<...> wrapper; rely on Quantity tag
- Worker brief Phase-2 prose + reframe table + Acceptance bullet
  all reflect deferred-literal-form posture

valiant-ibex-312 unblocked to proceed with Phase-2 (Grounding
handoff doc) per the (c)-shaped Acceptance.

* docs(briefs): S12 F2 + F8 doc-sharpening worker brief — post-#1820 cascade

#1820 (Slice C) merged 2026-05-06; ROADMAP :425 row Retired closes
the prose-reference paydown program. S12 cascade-clearance trigger
fires per B6 RATIFIED single bundled Mgr-tier doc-sharpening PR.

Scope: F2 (.v3 filename-suffix grammar dispatch) + F8 (bootstrap
load-order/exclusion authority) — single bundled PR per B6.
Cross-program coordination with PB Mgr (#1742) per design schedule
§3 P5 (comment-only OR co-author; no duplicate PR).

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice C precedent owner;
pattern-familiar with prose+regen bundling discipline. Dispatch
packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): S9 brief — UInt landed via #1818; algebra label corrected to CommutativeSemiring

Per proud-lynx-311 merge report at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: PR #1818 landed `type UInt = Nat` after codex BLOCKING
review on initial `CommutativeMonoid<Nat>` form (P2 facts-flow-forward
violation — wrap projects out Nat's multiplicative monoid + identity 1).

Final landed form preserves full `CommutativeSemiring<Magnitude>`
surface — Nat IS a commutative semiring (addition + multiplication
+ 0 + 1). Algebra-side label for UInt is CommutativeSemiring, NOT
CommutativeMonoid (corrects my earlier dispatch labeling).

S9 Phase-1 step 2 marked LANDED with merge ref. Phase-1 step 3
emission entries reframed:
- Int<N> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<N>>
- UInt<N> ≡ Compose<CommutativeSemiring, MachineWidth<N>>

Worker discipline + reviewer caught a substrate-state error in my
brief framing; brief now matches landed reality.

* docs(briefs): fix contradictory (c) guidance in Unit/Quantity worker brief

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 1bce041 caught a real
contradiction: brief Phase-2 prose at lines 115-118 stated
"predicates do NOT attach at the Measure (phantom) layer" per
Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED, but immediately
following paragraph at lines 130-132 still said "Refined predicate
non_negative applies at the Measure-typed level" — left over from
the original Q-Unit-4 framing.

Updated lines 130-137 to consistently apply (c) shape: predicates
deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up; dimensional semantics
ride on Quantity tag at Measure layer; worker authors 3 in-scope
refinements WITHOUT predicate at this layer.

P2 boundary discipline restored: brief now gives single-authority
guidance for Phase-2 substrate landing.

* docs(briefs): name predicate authority + concretize ratification ID — codex BLOCKING

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 32541a5:

1. (BLOCKING) Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) ratification deferred
   phantom-carrier predicates without naming the value-level predicate
   authority. Updated canvas Q-Unit-4 RATIFICATION row to explicitly
   name: 'predicates re-attach at value-typed Int/UInt level via
   where-sugar (e.g., range(min: 0) per current dsl/std/types.dag
   precedent)' when value-typed integration lands.

2. (BLOCKING) Worker brief option-c reframe didn't sweep the audit
   receipt §5 (Carrier dissolves the bridge). Updated to consistently
   apply (c) shape — dimensional semantics ride on Quantity tag at
   Measure layer; value-level predicate authority deferred; until
   then, range/gt_zero constraints attach at value-typed Int/UInt
   via where-sugar per dsl/std/types.dag convention.

3. (NON-BLOCKING) Canvas had #issuecomment-... placeholder for the
   (c) ratification message ID. Replaced with concrete
   #issuecomment-4385687075 per dashboard relay header.

Brief now names a single value-level authority (Int/UInt where-sugar)
for value-range facts; phantom-layer Quantity tag carries only
dimensional semantics. P2 boundary discipline maintained.

* docs(briefs): S12 RETIRED per Director option (2) ratification

Director ratified option (2) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385873...
2026-05-06 post smart-ram-167's substrate-state STOP-AND-ESCALATE:

- F2 absorbed by 2026-05-04 routing + #1662 closure
  (`Result/DivError span.file-keyed` retired)
- F8 topical concerns distributed across live rows
  (Class 5 Gap 3 `bootstrap.rs::std_fixtures()`; Character-level
  load-set / bootstrap; Filename-sentinel-bridges) with own owners
- Doc-discipline goals absorbed by per-Mgr citation paydown
  routing at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385583247

Frontmatter updated to RETIRED with absorption receipt. Worker
(smart-ram-167) pin freed.

Director-side acknowledgment of Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation:
"Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation is the right move
structurally. Most Mgrs default to 'synthesize work to fill the brief'
when canvas-vs-HEAD mismatch surfaces. Recommending retirement when
the work is genuinely absorbed is harder discipline."

* docs(briefs): S7 PR-F (BoundDeclaration consumer + ReferenceModel<T>) worker brief

Per cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1782 merge 2026-05-06.
loyal-wolf-828 (#1764) acknowledged S7 dispatch with substrate-state
pre-flight grep (gunbc#1764 #issuecomment-4385872...) and surfaced
await-brief posture. This brief satisfies that prerequisite.

Worker pre-flight inventory absorbed:
- BoundDeclaration substrate landed (substrate.dag StaticBound +
  PlatformDependent); partial BoundDeclarationView consumer in
  fold.rs (ScratchIntExamples scope; doc-explicit partial)
- ReferenceModel<T> NOT yet in dsl/std/ (substrate-fact-introduction
  required; design-emission-model.md §Q2 framing)

Phase-1: BoundDeclaration consumer broadening to full
design-emission-model.md surface (u128 / isize / usize / walker
arms / pilot mirror).

Phase-2: ReferenceModel<T> P1 substrate-fact-introduction with
DFS-of-concept-DAG + Practice 4 in-source checkpoint comment +
named consumer demand (Grounding G1).

Phase-3: cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for
G1 (T-Ground-Rust Phase 1).

Closure predicate: unblocks Grounding T-Ground-Rust Phase 1.
Worker pin loyal-wolf-828 holds; dispatch fires immediately
on this brief landing.

* docs(briefs): S9 Slice 2.5 — predicate-registry + PB-1 shim retirement (Path 3 RATIFIED)

Director ratified Path 3 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4390333451
post proud-lynx-311's pre-flight DFS at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-4390253616.

Brief reframes Slice 2.5 from S-sized (primitive + 1 consumer) to
L-sized (predicate registry + PB-1 shim retirement). 5 deliverables:
1. gt_zero primitive predicate
2. Predicate registry infrastructure (resolver-side substrate-fact-introduction)
3. PB-1 shim retirement (span.file=='dsl/std/types.dag' special case dissolves)
4. Migration of existing types.dag predicates (range, pattern, etc.)
5. PositiveInt = Refined<Nat, gt_zero> consumer update

Per Director hard scope bars: no parallel predicate-resolution path;
no per-call-site special-casing; PB-1 shim retirement non-negotiable
in same slice. Single PR per Path 3 RATIFIED.

Discipline anchors: feedback_construction_over_ratchets (PB-1 shim
is bridge); feedback_dissolve_bridges (registry is structural fix);
feedback_no_textual_enforcement_bridges (file-path special-case is
anti-pattern shape); P1 substrate-fact-introduction procedure.

Worker pin proud-lynx-311 — Director pre-cleared on pre-flight DFS
context. PR #1840 (partial Slice 2 — NonNegativeInt = Nat) MERGED
at 16:54Z; Slice 2.5 dispatchable immediately on this brief landing.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 audit receipt — Mgr independent grep parallel-verifies worker DFS

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1845 sha 2d23094 flagged: external PR
receipt absorbed as live substrate state without re-grepping local
std declarations at brief authoring time. Authority receipt §1
cited proud-lynx-311's pre-flight DFS as authority but didn't
record Mgr-side independent verification.

Updated audit receipt §1 + §4 to record Mgr's independent grep at
HEAD as parallel verification:
- gt_zero zero matches in dsl/std/ + src/v3/ (verified)
- NonNegativeInt = Nat at dsl/std/integer.dag:133 (#1840 land)
- PositiveInt = Int where range(min: 1) at dsl/std/types.dag:255
- PB-1 shim doc-block confirms bridge-text framing
- Predicate registry confirmed not present

Worker DFS remains the dispatch-time discipline (substrate-state
grep at dispatch); Mgr's independent grep is parallel verification,
not substitute. Per Director's pattern note at gunbc#828
#issuecomment-4390199218 + #issuecomment-4390333451: dispatch-packet
authoring discipline includes Mgr-side substrate-state-grep, not
just relay of worker findings.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Int extensibility scope-bound; lower.rs cites anchored

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1845 sha 2d23094 flagged 2 issues:

BLOCKING — P1 modeling faithfulness / substrate scope leak:
`gt_zero` Int-side extensibility was left to 'worker judgment if
generalization cheap'. Per feedback_construction_over_ratchets:
don't speculatively extend predicate-carrier compatibility ahead
of named consumer demand. Reframed to **EXPLICITLY OUT-OF-SCOPE**
for Slice 2.5; Nat-only registration. Future Int-side consumer
surfaces as separate substrate-fact-introduction (P1 procedure)
brief with own consumer-demand receipt.

NON-BLOCKING — citation discipline self-violation:
3 instances of bare `lower.rs:821-835` line-range citations
contradict the brief's own 'no bare :NNN' requirement at line 211.
Converted to function-name anchored form:
`src/v3/compiler/src/lower.rs` (`lower_type_alias_refinements_phase` doc-block).

Both findings absorbed; no parallel scope ambiguity remains;
brief now self-consistent on citation discipline.

* WIP: R3 Substrate

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — audit-receipt cites converted to declaration-name anchors

cursor APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS on PR #1845 sha ebf6ac1 noted citation
self-inconsistency: audit-receipt section §1 + §4 used bare
`dsl/std/integer.dag:133` and `dsl/std/types.dag:255` line-number
pins despite the brief's own no-bare-:NNN rule.

Converted to declaration-name-anchored form:
- 'declaration named NonNegativeInt' (with reproducible grep command)
- 'declaration named PositiveInt' (with reproducible grep command)
- 'lower_type_alias_refinements_phase doc-block' for PB-1 location

Brief now fully self-consistent on its own citation discipline.
Verified zero remaining .dag:NNN / .rs:NNN / .md:NNN bare cites.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Path (a) RATIFIED carrier+argument contract verification

Director Path (a) RATIFIED at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4390760353
(triage) + #issuecomment-4390794121 (convergence ack):
predicate-body lowering with carrier+argument contract
verification at lower-time IN SAME SLICE. Placeholder semantics
REMOVED from registry path.

Codex REQUEST_CHANGES surfaced that registered-predicate-without-
contract = silent acceptance per feedback_fail_closed_discipline.
Brief reframe absorbs Path (a):

Hard scope bar #5 added:
- Same-slice carrier+argument-contract verification
- Mismatched carrier OR malformed argument → Diagnostic::ResolveError
- No 'named but not checked' path remains

Scope expansion section added (L → XL):
- Predicate-body lowering for all 7 registered predicates
- Per-predicate arg-shape validation
- Multi-session work acknowledged
- Carrier-check at 788d6ac retained; predicate-body builds on top

Acceptance bullets updated: gt_zero with arg-shape validation +
all 7 predicates with carrier+argument contract verification.

Director-pinned brief-authoring discipline: dissolution trigger
named in a brief authored as substrate-fact-introduction must
specify same-slice acceptance, not deferred follow-up. Otherwise
the brief encodes 'land bridge + defer dissolution' anti-pattern,
the same shape feedback_construction_over_ratchets warns against
at implementation layer applied at brief authoring layer.

This is the 11th miss this session — but the pattern surfacing it
(direct sweep + Codex REQUEST_CHANGES + Director ratification)
produces structural fixes that prevent the next miss class. Brief
revision is the structural recovery.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Path 2 RATIFIED (Gap 1 discharge + Q-Regex carve-out)

Director Path 2 RATIFIED at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4391985613
post Rung 3 STOP at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-4391946213.

Path 2 narrowing of Path (a):
- gt_zero + range body synthesis already landed (5f3c40c)
- Gap 1 discharge mechanism: extends scalar-literal predicate
  evaluation at lower-time. L-class; lands SAME SLICE per
  same-slice-dissolution discipline
- non_empty + brand body synthesis: lands via Gap 1 discharge
- pattern / format / content: fail-closed-with-named-dep at
  user-code authoring layer (Diagnostic::ResolveError naming
  Q-Regex-Primitive). NOT placeholder; structural rejection
- PB-1 shim FULLY RETIRED per hard scope bar #3
- Q-Regex-Primitive carved as follow-on substrate-fact-introduction
  (XL substrate; not pre-authored per feedback_construction_over_ratchets)

Acceptance updated:
- 4 of 7 body-synthesized in same slice
- 3 of 7 fail-closed-with-named-dep (no placeholder semantics)
- Gap 1 discharge mechanism landed (no partial implementation)

Worker disposition: proud-lynx-311 continues Rung 3 with Gap 1
implementation + non_empty/brand body synthesis + pattern/format/
content fail-closed-with-named-dep diagnostic.

Updated Provenance to consistently state criteria 1-4 close in this
slice; criterion 5 (v2-oracle parity) cementing test may carve to
separate slice. Single 4-of-5 framing throughout. INVARIANTS.md
'Documentation Describes Live State' satisfied.

Per feedback_construction_over_ratchets: don't claim closure that
isn't structurally complete. 4-of-5 + named carve is the honest
shape; 5/5 only on cementing-test land.

handoff at gunbc#846 #issuecomment-4392510255.

Two real substrate-shape questions stacked:

provenance is per-emitted-line. 4 options surfaced — (a) per-Behavior
Lens-compatible / (b) per-line instrumentation NOT a lens / (c)
withdraw + re-canvas / (d) Mgr-surface both substrates distinct.
Mgr recommends (d) if visualization is load-bearing; (a) suffices
if per-Behavior aggregate works for the slide. Brian-channel
sub-question surfaced.

Q2 (fold-rule enumerability): T-Rule-Enumeration substrate-fact-
introduction is prerequisite for every Q1 path (rust_target.rs uses
inline &str template names; rules not enumerable). Mgr recommends
parallel-dispatch with Q1 deliberation — satisfies Brian's ASAP
framing while shape ratifies.

Q3 (§1.8 ledger retarget): #89 already taken by T-LAS; new cluster
location follows Q1 disposition.

* fix(briefs): retire INVARIANTS.md line-number cites in r3-426 brief

Per codex review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cde): the new briefs

stale-line-anchor shape the :425 sweep brief itself names as needing

* fix(briefs): correct L6 type count + r3-435 dual-path retirement receipt

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cde):

1. L6 brief said acceptance ratchet asserts "five types" exist but
   declares six (ShapeATarget, FormAxis, BehaviorAxis,
   MethodTemplateContractKey, EmissionCell, EmissionPathProjection).
   Updated both occurrences to enumerate all six explicitly.

2. r3-435 brief authorized both Path A (typed-AST reader, deletes
   IntegrationRsScan) and Path B (scanner widening with Char state),
   but retirement receipt language only covered Path B. Updated
   ROADMAP/ledger retirement and authority-audit step 5 to cover
   both authorized dissolution paths.

* fix(briefs): L6 second 'five types' site + T-E-P lookup-gate authority

Per cursor review on PR #1782 (sha 2072b986):

1. L6 brief acceptance bullet at :131 still said "five types" while
   the parenthetical and the Slice step at :117 said six. The prior
   fix only caught one of two sites; corrected the second.

2. T-E-P brief `e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative` acceptance
   named only `lower_call_pattern` as "the only route from call
   site to LoweringTarget" — but Phase 2 explicitly requires
   lenses route through `per_call_pattern_at` (the L-7 single-
   authority lookup), NOT `lower_call_pattern` (compiler-internal).
   Acceptance text rewritten to name `per_call_pattern_at` as the
   consumer-facing gate and clarify `lower_call_pattern`'s
   internal-only scope.

* fix(briefs): strengthen L6 ratchet from count-parity to per-row bijection

Per openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1782 (sha 2072b986): the L6
acceptance ratchet asserted only row-count parity between
emission_path_projections and the union of MethodTemplateContract
rows. Count parity permits duplicate projection keys and missing
source rows — the bridge from list-non-empty proxy to per-row
projection would not be mechanically proven. The whole point of
introducing MethodTemplateContractKey { target, dag_method } is to
provide 1:1 row identity.

Rewrites the ratchet to assert per-row bijection: every
MethodTemplateContract source row has exactly one matching
EmissionPathProjection row by key; every projection key resolves
to exactly one source row; duplicate projection keys fail closed.

(The other openai-pro BLOCKING finding — T-E-P
e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative naming the wrong authority
— was already fixed at 6282a0704; the review citation was against
the pre-fix sha 2072b986.)

* fix(briefs): split L6 ratchet into slice-active vs deferred-activation gates

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at d92459423: the prior
bijection ratchet was unsatisfiable as authored. The
*_method_template_contracts lists at HEAD (rust/python/go) are
non-empty; shipping emission_path_projections: [] alongside a
strict bijection requirement means the bijection cannot pass when
the slice lands — source rows would be uncovered. Prior text
incorrectly said "vacuously true on the empty source set" — the
SOURCE set isn't empty, only the projection set is.

Splits the ratchet into two gate categories:
- Slice-active gates: types/data shape exist + empty-state
  predicate (emission_path_projections == []).
- Deferred-activation gate: per-row key bijection, authored as a
  test scaffold by this slice but #[ignore]'d (or feature-gated
  on len > 0) until Grounding's follow-up populates rows. On
  activation, asserts the bijection over the populated set.

This honors P1 doc faithfulness: the slice's acceptance contract
is satisfiable as authored, and the bijection becomes the
load-bearing gate the row-population PR satisfies.

* fix(briefs): require L6 bootstrap enrollment to honor P2 facts-flow-forward

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at L6:34: the slice authored
src/v3/std/cross_target_coverage.dag but never required enrolling
it in the bootstrap/load authority. Without enrollment the file
is dead-letter on disk and EmissionPathProjection can be absent
from the downstream Dag — silent P2 facts-flow-forward violation.

Adds a new Slice step 2 requiring a cross_target_coverage field
on BootstrapFixtures in src/v3/std/extdeps_bootstrap_fixtures.dag
mirroring the *_method_template_contracts enrollment pattern, plus
a loader-visibility ratchet. Renumbers subsequent Slice steps.
Adds matching Acceptance bullet.

* docs(briefs): normalize Practice 4 citation in S3 brief per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 (sha 2614217e) flagged stale citation
"Practice 4 (Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist)" in
S3 brief — no such checklist step exists in the pinned rubric.

Live rule per docs/modeling-discipline.md:131-134 is the "What to
check" checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution). Updated the S3 reference to cite that line directly
and drop the stale "Step 4 of type-introduction checklist" wording.

S2/S8/S9 already use bare "Practice 4" without the stale steps wording.
S1 (committed earlier today) does not contain the stale phrase.
S6 (pre-existing brief flagged by reviewer as carrying the same
pattern) is out of this branch's scope; flag for separate paydown.

* docs(briefs): sweep stale Practice 4 citations corpus-wide

Codex review on PR #1782 flagged the stale "Step 4 of the
type-introduction checklist" wording — no such checklist exists in
docs/modeling-discipline.md. The live rule is the "What to check"
checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution) at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131.

Sweep across docs/ found 2 additional briefs carrying the stale
phrasing (S3 fixed previously at 9db003d40):

- docs/briefs/r3-l6-emission-path-projection-substrate-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-x1b-s1-transform-dispatch-substrate-worker.md

Both updated to cite the live rule directly. Verified zero
remaining "type-introduction checklist" or "Step 4 of the"
references in docs/ tree.

* docs(briefs): add Practice 4 citation discipline note to authoring checklist

Per parent inbox status flag at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385346221:
add a Citation discipline section to brief-authoring-checklist.md
naming the correct shape — Practice 4 (coproduct dissolution) +
"What to check" rule at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131 — and
calling out the stale "Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist"
phrasing as a failure mode. References the corpus sweep at
2dc92f34f.

Prevents future briefs that copy old templates from re-introducing
the stale citation pattern.

* docs(r3): cascade work post-Director ratification — S1 worker, R4 routing, Unit/Quantity canvas

Per Director ratification at gunbc#828 inbox response 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812):

1. S1 Q1+Q2 RATIFIED → author S1 gap-test representative worker brief
   (`r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md`). Dispatchable
   on T-E-P Phase 1 + E6-G0d landing; closes ledger row #61.

2. S2 Q2 RATIFIED (option-(b) T-LBP narrowing) + S3 + S8 deferrals →
   R4 carve-out routing ledger (`docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md`).
   Captures C1 (parallelism lens), C2 (effect_enum lens), C3
   (register narrowing), C4 (deferred MachineConstraint axes),
   C5 (rounding-mode product extension), C6 (Unit/Quantity).
   Cascade messages to Verification / Grounding / Debt-Paydown Mgrs.

3. S9 Phase-3 dimensional refinement boundary → Unit/Quantity carrier
   canvas (`r3-substrate-s9-unit-quantity-carrier-canvas.md`).
   Surfaces Q-Unit-1..5 for Director ratification: carrier name,
   2-axis vs 3-axis Phase-1, Duration/Seconds collapse, Refined
   composition order, Practice 4 classification.

Updates §1.8 ledger receipts for carved items; R3 closure receipts
treat carved items as explicitly-deferred (not drift).

* docs(briefs): citation-discipline fix-forward — anchors/quotes, not line numbers

Director redirect at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... noted the citation
paydown's replacement form (`docs/modeling-discipline.md:131`) is the
same drift class as the original fabricated-step error. Bare line
numbers shift silently on any doc edit above the cited line.

Generalized fix:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md "Citation discipline" section
  rewritten to prohibit bare line-numbers across ALL cross-doc
  references (modeling-discipline.md, r3-program-plan.md,
  r3-structure.md, INVARIANTS.md, MODELING.md, etc.). Use section
  anchors (#section-name) or rule-text quotes.
- 3 briefs that swapped in :131 (S3, S6, X1B) re-converted:
  - docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution anchor
  - "What to check" rule quoted inline (self-contained)

Brief-authoring-checklist failure-mode section names both vectors
(fabricated step + bare line numbers) and references both sweep
commits in audit trail.

Broader cross-doc citation sweep across briefs I authored on this
branch (frontmatter authority-docs lists, body prose) is recommended
per Director note — flagging as separate paydown task; this commit
closes the immediate recurrence vector.

* docs(briefs): fix unfaithful Int=AbelianGroup<Nat> + sweep stale 'Step 4' refs

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 sha 0ecd4818 (gunbc#1782 #...):

BLOCKING fix (P1 modeling faithfulness):
- S9 + S3 directed workers to model `Int = AbelianGroup<Nat>`,
  but Nat is not an Abelian-group carrier (additive inverses
  not representable). Reframed:
  - `Int` is the additive Abelian group on integers (carrier Z);
    `Nat` is a commutative monoid under addition.
  - Algebraic relationship is **explicit group-completion**:
    `Int ≡ GroupCompletion<CommutativeMonoid<Nat>>` — NOT
    `AbelianGroup<Nat>` parameterization.
  - Worker either models `Int` directly as `AbelianGroup`
    (terminal Abelian-group instance) OR introduces explicit
    `GroupCompletion<M>` substrate carrier; decision lands in
    Phase-1 PR per P1 procedure.
- S3 cross-reference + Phase-4 algebra-axis preservation note
  reframed accordingly.

NON-BLOCKING in-PR cleanup (Practice 4 citation discipline):
- 6 briefs still carrying stale 'Practice 4 Step 4' wording
  (r3-coproduct-1/2/3, r3-l6, r3-t-e-p, r3-x1b) updated to use
  the section anchor (`docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution`)
  + inline rule-text quote ("What to check") form per the
  citation discipline established in `b4cae5299`.

Closes both findings from openai-pro review.

* docs(briefs): Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED — apply Scale.Unit→One rename + ratification banner

Director ratified Q-Unit-1..5 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812). All 5 questions ratified; one rename required:

- Scale enum's `Unit` value collides with outer `Unit<Q, S>` carrier
  name (`Unit<Time, Unit>` is shadowing-confusing). Rename to `One`.
- Duration ≡ Unit<Time, One> (collapses with Seconds per Q-Unit-3).
- Milliseconds ≡ Unit<Time, Milli>.

Canvas updated:
- Top-level RATIFICATION banner records all 5 ratifications + rename
- Scale enum: `Unit` → `One` (with inline rename receipt)
- Sketch product expansions use `Unit<Time, One>` / `Unit<Time, Milli>`
- Phase-3 reframe table products updated
- Q-Unit-3 prose collapse reference updated

Subsequent worker brief authoring (Unit/Quantity carrier landing
post-prerequisite) inherits the renamed shape.

* docs(briefs): Unit/Quantity carrier worker brief — Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED

Worker brief consumes the ratified Unit/Quantity canvas
(`5f22fd06e` ratification banner). Phase-1 lands `Unit<Q, S>` +
`Quantity` + `Scale` declarations at the ratified shape (Scale's
`One` value per Q-Unit-1 rename). Phase-2 reframes S9 Phase-3
dimensional refinements (Duration / Seconds / Milliseconds) to
outer-Refined / inner-Unit composition per Q-Unit-4 RATIFIED.
EpochMs deferred to R4 C6 (Aspect-axis follow-up).

Practice 4 marks pre-determined per Q-Unit-5: `Unit<Q, S>` 🟢
PRIMITIVE; `Quantity` + `Scale` 🟡 SCAFFOLD with "consumed by ≥1
emission rule" dissolution trigger.

Cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for dimensional
emission consumption documented.

Worker pin TBD — dispatchable when idle pool refreshes.

* docs(briefs): S9 Phase-1 reframed — Int landed at #1466; UInt-only migration

Per proud-lynx-311 dispatch ack at gunbc#1739 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: re-grep at HEAD revealed substrate state diverges
materially from S9 brief's "Option A vs B decide" framing.

Reality check at HEAD:
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:55` already carries
  `type Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>>` per Slice 3 PR
  #1466 / commit `4ba0a6d04`. Single-authority Q6 audit doc at
  `docs/audit/t-numeric-construction-group-completion-6q.md`
  ratified this shape and explicitly rejected the compact form.
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:56` still on legacy `type UInt = UInt64`
  alias; UInt migration is the actual Phase-1 worker scope.

Brief Phase-1 step 1 reframed: Int landing acknowledged; worker
confirms HEAD match. Phase-1 step 2 reframed: UInt migration
target named (`type UInt = CommutativeMonoid<Nat>`); fixed-width
rows preserved per existing legacy-rows policy.

Historical Option A vs B framing kept as note (superseded).

Confirmed S9 dispatch ack from worker; UInt-only Phase-1 PR is
in-scope. Emission entries deferred per S3 (valiant-ant-72
pre-landing); Phase-2 deferred per S8 (quiet-boar-160 pre-landing).

* docs(briefs): fix two BLOCKING citation drift items per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 sha 5f22fd06 flagged two authority-receipt
gaps:

1. brief-authoring-checklist.md:118 — `<this-commit>` placeholder in
   the failure-mode section was unverifiable post-merge. Replaced
   with `b4cae5299` (the actual anchor/quote conversion commit).

2. r3-378-http-path-helper-fail-open-worker.md:84 — `INVARIANTS.md
   C-8 fail-closed` cited without anchor or rule-text quote, in
   violation of the citation discipline added in this PR.
   Converted to `INVARIANTS.md#p3-fail-closed` (P3 heading anchor)
   + inline rule-text quote naming P3 + C-8.

PR's own discipline now consistently applied across the diff.

* docs(briefs): sweep bare .md:NNN citations in Substrate-Mgr-authored briefs

Per Director recommendation in citation-discipline thread (gunbc#828
follow-on): bare line-number references drift silently. Swept 19
remaining instances across 5 briefs I authored on this branch:

- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-q-class-2-chain-break-gap-test-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s2-t-lbp-scope-calibration-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s3-machine-constraint-carrier-worker.md

Conversion: bare `file.md:NNN` → `file.md §"Section name"` form.
Stable; survives doc edits; human-readable. Section names per
HEAD heading audit.

Verification: `grep -nE '.md:[0-9]+' docs/briefs/r3-substrate-*.md
docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md` returns zero results in
Substrate-Mgr-authored scope.

Broader corpus scope (~232 references across non-Substrate briefs)
remains as separate paydown task.

* docs(briefs): fix BLOCKING + NON-BLOCKING items per openai-pro review on a462f007

Three findings addressed; 2 BLOCKING + 1 NON-BLOCKING:

BLOCKING — R3/R4 dual authority for Unit/Quantity carrier:
R4 carve-out C6 narrowed from "Unit/Quantity carrier landing"
(deferred all of it) to **"Aspect-axis (PointKind) follow-on
for EpochMs and instant/rate-shaped refinements only"**. The
2-axis Measure<Q,S> carrier landing IS in R3 per Q-Unit-1..5
RATIFIED; only the Aspect axis (PointKind = Magnitude | Instant
| Rate) carves to R4. Cascade-message C6 reference + R4 program-
plan input list updated to match. Cross-Mgr message clarifies
Grounding consumes 2-axis dimensional refinements in R3.

BLOCKING — Locked design partially applied (Scale.Unit→One
rename in canvas alternate-sketch sections):
- Canvas line 105-108 alternate sketch ("Open question: Instant
  vs Duration axis") still used pre-rename `Unit` Scale value;
  added pre-ratification disclaimer marking the section as
  deferred to R4 C6 + noting `Unit` is pre-rename
- Canvas line 163 Q-Unit-3 collapse note: `Scale = Unit` → `Scale = One`

(BLOCKING — bare line-numbers in S1 canvas frontmatter): NOT
APPLICABLE — already fixed at sweep commit 127287a66 prior to
review; reviewer was on sha a462f007 pre-sweep.

NON-BLOCKING — placeholder receipts:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385393971 (Director's anchor-discipline reply)
- r3-substrate-unit-quantity-carrier-worker.md (3 occurrences)
  + canvas RATIFICATION banner: `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385412256 (Q-Unit ratification reply)
- `<this-commit>` placeholder in checklist already fixed at 5be1c99f2

Verification: zero `#issuecomment-...` or `<this-commit>` placeholders
in docs/briefs/ + docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md.

* docs(briefs): codex BLOCKING review fixes — Practice 4 source-level + policy scope

Three BLOCKING findings on PR #1782 (codex sha b913e2f4):

1. **Citation-discipline policy scope**: addressed by scoping
   the rule prospectively to briefs landing after the policy
   commit (`b4cae5299`). Pre-existing corpus references are
   flagged as paydown but NOT individually blocking; coordinated
   single-PR sweep is the right paydown shape. Substrate-Mgr scope
   already swept at `127287a66`.

2. **R4 C6 reconciliation**: already fixed at `6e5a5481a` (R4 C6
   narrowed to Aspect-axis follow-on for EpochMs only; 2-axis
   carrier landing IS in R3). Codex sha b913e2f4 was pre-fix.

3. **Practice 4 source-level vs PR-body conflation**: corrected.
   Acceptance bullet for Unit/Quantity worker brief now requires
   inline checkpoint comments on the LIVE declarations in
   `dsl/std/units.dag` (load-bearing artifact per
   `docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution` "What to
   check"). PR-body summary is supplementary, not substitute.

Closes the review's reconciliation gates.

* docs(briefs): absorb Q-MachineConstraint + Q-Unit-1-Recanvas ratifications

Two major Director ratifications absorbed:

1. Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier RATIFIED at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385530115 (Brian directive 2026-05-06: "universal
   substrate, ratify defaults"; PR #1817 queued). 6 sub-decisions:
   - MachineWidth<bits> only for R3; defer RegisterClass / EndianMode
     / Alignment / signedness post-R3
   - Parametric Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint> type-level
     interaction shape (lookup-maps REJECTED — AlgebraMachineProduct
     record-keyed table form retracted)
   - Int<64> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> (algebra-side
     options A and B preserve interaction semantics)
   - Real<64> ≡ Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>, MachineWidth<64>>
     (algebra approx + machine approx as independent composing axes)
   - ≥3 pairs is minimum, not target
   - UNIVERSAL substrate: every target carries machine-constraint
     facts; targets without native machine-width semantics handle
     omission at Grounding-level discharge (target-conditioned
     lowering NOT target-conditioned substrate)

   Reframed: S3 brief Phase-1, S3 Phase-3/4 emission entries,
   S8 Phase-1/2/3 (ApproximateField<Real> → ApproximateField<Rational>;
   AlgebraMachineProduct → Compose<...>), S9 emission entries.

2. Q-Unit-1-Recanvas RATIFIED Measure<Q, S> at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385539791. valiant-ibex-312's substrate-state
   grep caught Unit<Q, S> collision with kernel Unit at
   dsl/std/types.dag:176; Director ratified Measure<Q, S> as
   outer carrier name (conventional in scientific computing;
   no dsl/std/ collision).

   Reframed: Unit/Quantity worker brief throughout (Unit<Q,S> →
   Measure<Q,S>; dsl/std/units.dag → dsl/std/measure.dag); canvas
   spec sections + sketch products (Refined<Measure<Time, ...>...>);
   R4 carve-out C6 with informal/formal name disambiguation note.

Both rename + reshape are now consistent across S3 / S8 / S9 /
Unit-Q briefs + canvas + R4 routing. Workers (valiant-ant-72 on S3,
quiet-boar-160 on S8, proud-lynx-311 on S9, valiant-ibex-312 on
Unit-Q) all dispatch against the ratified shape.

* docs(briefs): S11 Slice C worker brief — ROADMAP :425 retirement post-#1801

Cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1801 (Slice B) merge
2026-05-06. S11 brief authored per B1 RATIFIED prose+regen
bundling discipline.

Phase 1: per-file edits across the post-A+B residual list (~10
files per smart-ram-167's Slice B post-rebase enumeration);
anchor + rule-text-quote pattern per current citation discipline;
bootstrap regen in same PR (no split).

Phase 2: ROADMAP :425 row PARTIAL → Retired with 3-slice receipt;
Q-Slice-C-Retirement-Receipt resolution.

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice B precedent owner.
Dispatch packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED — defer literal Refined form

Director ratified option (c) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06:
drop `non_negative` predicate at Measure (phantom) layer; rely on
`Quantity = Time` tagging for non-negative-magnitude semantics.

Q-Unit-4 outer-Refined / inner-Measure composition is preserved as
**conceptual model**; the literal `Refined<Measure<...>, predicate>`
form is **deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up** when
substrate gains Refined<> as first-class type expression and
dimensional refinements get value-typed integration.

Updates:
- Canvas RATIFICATION banner Q-Unit-4 row reframed to "conceptual
  model; literal form deferred"
- Canvas Phase-3 reframe table: Duration / Milliseconds drop the
  Refined<...> wrapper; rely on Quantity tag
- Worker brief Phase-2 prose + reframe table + Acceptance bullet
  all reflect deferred-literal-form posture

valiant-ibex-312 unblocked to proceed with Phase-2 (Grounding
handoff doc) per the (c)-shaped Acceptance.

* docs(briefs): S12 F2 + F8 doc-sharpening worker brief — post-#1820 cascade

#1820 (Slice C) merged 2026-05-06; ROADMAP :425 row Retired closes
the prose-reference paydown program. S12 cascade-clearance trigger
fires per B6 RATIFIED single bundled Mgr-tier doc-sharpening PR.

Scope: F2 (.v3 filename-suffix grammar dispatch) + F8 (bootstrap
load-order/exclusion authority) — single bundled PR per B6.
Cross-program coordination with PB Mgr (#1742) per design schedule
§3 P5 (comment-only OR co-author; no duplicate PR).

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice C precedent owner;
pattern-familiar with prose+regen bundling discipline. Dispatch
packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): S9 brief — UInt landed via #1818; algebra label corrected to CommutativeSemiring

Per proud-lynx-311 merge report at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: PR #1818 landed `type UInt = Nat` after codex BLOCKING
review on initial `CommutativeMonoid<Nat>` form (P2 facts-flow-forward
violation — wrap projects out Nat's multiplicative monoid + identity 1).

Final landed form preserves full `CommutativeSemiring<Magnitude>`
surface — Nat IS a commutative semiring (addition + multiplication
+ 0 + 1). Algebra-side label for UInt is CommutativeSemiring, NOT
CommutativeMonoid (corrects my earlier dispatch labeling).

S9 Phase-1 step 2 marked LANDED with merge ref. Phase-1 step 3
emission entries reframed:
- Int<N> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<N>>
- UInt<N> ≡ Compose<CommutativeSemiring, MachineWidth<N>>

Worker discipline + reviewer caught a substrate-state error in my
brief framing; brief now matches landed reality.

* docs(briefs): fix contradictory (c) guidance in Unit/Quantity worker brief

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 1bce0418 caught a real
contradiction: brief Phase-2 prose at lines 115-118 stated
"predicates do NOT attach at the Measure (phantom) layer" per
Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED, but immediately
following paragraph at lines 130-132 still said "Refined predicate
non_negative applies at the Measure-typed level" — left over from
the original Q-Unit-4 framing.

Updated lines 130-137 to consistently apply (c) shape: predicates
deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up; dimensional semantics
ride on Quantity tag at Measure layer; worker authors 3 in-scope
refinements WITHOUT predicate at this layer.

P2 boundary discipline restored: brief now gives single-authority
guidance for Phase-2 substrate landing.

* docs(briefs): name predicate authority + concretize ratification ID — codex BLOCKING

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 32541a56:

1. (BLOCKING) Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) ratification deferred
   phantom-carrier predicates without naming the value-level predicate
   authority. Updated canvas Q-Unit-4 RATIFICATION row to explicitly
   name: 'predicates re-attach at value-typed Int/UInt level via
   where-sugar (e.g., range(min: 0) per current dsl/std/types.dag
   precedent)' when value-typed integration lands.

2. (BLOCKING) Worker brief option-c reframe didn't sweep the audit
   receipt §5 (Carrier dissolves the bridge). Updated to consistently
   apply (c) shape — dimensional semantics ride on Quantity tag at
   Measure layer; value-level predicate authority deferred; until
   then, range/gt_zero constraints attach at value-typed Int/UInt
   via where-sugar per dsl/std/types.dag convention.

3. (NON-BLOCKING) Canvas had #issuecomment-... placeholder for the
   (c) ratification message ID. Replaced with concrete
   #issuecomment-4385687075 per dashboard relay header.

Brief now names a single value-level authority (Int/UInt where-sugar)
for value-range facts; phantom-layer Quantity tag carries only
dimensional semantics. P2 boundary discipline maintained.

* docs(briefs): S12 RETIRED per Director option (2) ratification

Director ratified option (2) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385873...
2026-05-06 post smart-ram-167's substrate-state STOP-AND-ESCALATE:

- F2 absorbed by 2026-05-04 routing + #1662 closure
  (`Result/DivError span.file-keyed` retired)
- F8 topical concerns distributed across live rows
  (Class 5 Gap 3 `bootstrap.rs::std_fixtures()`; Character-level
  load-set / bootstrap; Filename-sentinel-bridges) with own owners
- Doc-discipline goals absorbed by per-Mgr citation paydown
  routing at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385583247

Frontmatter updated to RETIRED with absorption receipt. Worker
(smart-ram-167) pin freed.

Director-side acknowledgment of Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation:
"Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation is the right move
structurally. Most Mgrs default to 'synthesize work to fill the brief'
when canvas-vs-HEAD mismatch surfaces. Recommending retirement when
the work is genuinely absorbed is harder discipline."

* docs(briefs): S7 PR-F (BoundDeclaration consumer + ReferenceModel<T>) worker brief

Per cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1782 merge 2026-05-06.
loyal-wolf-828 (#1764) acknowledged S7 dispatch with substrate-state
pre-flight grep (gunbc#1764 #issuecomment-4385872...) and surfaced
await-brief posture. This brief satisfies that prerequisite.

Worker pre-flight inventory absorbed:
- BoundDeclaration substrate landed (substrate.dag StaticBound +
  PlatformDependent); partial BoundDeclarationView consumer in
  fold.rs (ScratchIntExamples scope; doc-explicit partial)
- ReferenceModel<T> NOT yet in dsl/std/ (substrate-fact-introduction
  required; design-emission-model.md §Q2 framing)

Phase-1: BoundDeclaration consumer broadening to full
design-emission-model.md surface (u128 / isize / usize / walker
arms / pilot mirror).

Phase-2: ReferenceModel<T> P1 substrate-fact-introduction with
DFS-of-concept-DAG + Practice 4 in-source checkpoint comment +
named consumer demand (Grounding G1).

Phase-3: cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for
G1 (T-Ground-Rust Phase 1).

Closure predicate: unblocks Grounding T-Ground-Rust Phase 1.
Worker pin loyal-wolf-828 holds; dispatch fires immediately
on this brief landing.

* docs(briefs): S9 Slice 2.5 — predicate-registry + PB-1 shim retirement (Path 3 RATIFIED)

Director ratified Path 3 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4390333451
post proud-lynx-311's pre-flight DFS at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-4390253616.

Brief reframes Slice 2.5 from S-sized (primitive + 1 consumer) to
L-sized (predicate registry + PB-1 shim retirement). 5 deliverables:
1. gt_zero primitive predicate
2. Predicate registry infrastructure (resolver-side substrate-fact-introduction)
3. PB-1 shim retirement (span.file=='dsl/std/types.dag' special case dissolves)
4. Migration of existing types.dag predicates (range, pattern, etc.)
5. PositiveInt = Refined<Nat, gt_zero> consumer update

Per Director hard scope bars: no parallel predicate-resolution path;
no per-call-site special-casing; PB-1 shim retirement non-negotiable
in same slice. Single PR per Path 3 RATIFIED.

Discipline anchors: feedback_construction_over_ratchets (PB-1 shim
is bridge); feedback_dissolve_bridges (registry is structural fix);
feedback_no_textual_enforcement_bridges (file-path special-case is
anti-pattern shape); P1 substrate-fact-introduction procedure.

Worker pin proud-lynx-311 — Director pre-cleared on pre-flight DFS
context. PR #1840 (partial Slice 2 — NonNegativeInt = Nat) MERGED
at 16:54Z; Slice 2.5 dispatchable immediately on this brief landing.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 audit receipt — Mgr independent grep parallel-verifies worker DFS

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1845 sha 2d230949 flagged: external PR
receipt absorbed as live substrate state without re-grepping local
std declarations at brief authoring time. Authority receipt §1
cited proud-lynx-311's pre-flight DFS as authority but didn't
record Mgr-side independent verification.

Updated audit receipt §1 + §4 to record Mgr's independent grep at
HEAD as parallel verification:
- gt_zero zero matches in dsl/std/ + src/v3/ (verified)
- NonNegativeInt = Nat at dsl/std/integer.dag:133 (#1840 land)
- PositiveInt = Int where range(min: 1) at dsl/std/types.dag:255
- PB-1 shim doc-block confirms bridge-text framing
- Predicate registry confirmed not present

Worker DFS remains the dispatch-time discipline (substrate-state
grep at dispatch); Mgr's independent grep is parallel verification,
not substitute. Per Director's pattern note at gunbc#828
#issuecomment-4390199218 + #issuecomment-4390333451: dispatch-packet
authoring discipline includes Mgr-side substrate-state-grep, not
just relay of worker findings.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Int extensibility scope-bound; lower.rs cites anchored

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1845 sha 2d230949 flagged 2 issues:

BLOCKING — P1 modeling faithfulness / substrate scope leak:
`gt_zero` Int-side extensibility was left to 'worker judgment if
generalization cheap'. Per feedback_construction_over_ratchets:
don't speculatively extend predicate-carrier compatibility ahead
of named consumer demand. Reframed to **EXPLICITLY OUT-OF-SCOPE**
for Slice 2.5; Nat-only registration. Future Int-side consumer
surfaces as separate substrate-fact-introduction (P1 procedure)
brief with own consumer-demand receipt.

NON-BLOCKING — citation discipline self-violation:
3 instances of bare `lower.rs:821-835` line-range citations
contradict the brief's own 'no bare :NNN' requirement at line 211.
Converted to function-name anchored form:
`src/v3/compiler/src/lower.rs` (`lower_type_alias_refinements_phase` doc-block).

Both findings absorbed; no parallel scope ambiguity remains;
brief now self-consistent on citation discipline.

* WIP: R3 Substrate

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — audit-receipt cites converted to declaration-name anchors

cursor APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS on PR #1845 sha ebf6ac12 noted citation
self-inconsistency: audit-receipt section §1 + §4 used bare
`dsl/std/integer.dag:133` and `dsl/std/types.dag:255` line-number
pins despite the brief's own no-bare-:NNN rule.

Converted to declaration-name-anchored form:
- 'declaration named NonNegativeInt' (with reproducible grep command)
- 'declaration named PositiveInt' (with reproducible grep command)
- 'lower_type_alias_refinements_phase doc-block' for PB-1 location

Brief now fully self-consistent on its own citation discipline.
Verified zero remaining .dag:NNN / .rs:NNN / .md:NNN bare cites.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Path (a) RATIFIED carrier+argument contract verification

Director Path (a) RATIFIED at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4390760353
(triage) + #issuecomment-4390794121 (convergence ack):
predicate-body lowering with carrier+argument contract
verification at lower-time IN SAME SLICE. Placeholder semantics
REMOVED from registry path.

Codex REQUEST_CHANGES surfaced that registered-predicate-without-
contract = silent acceptance per feedback_fail_closed_discipline.
Brief reframe absorbs Path (a):

Hard scope bar #5 added:
- Same-slice carrier+argument-contract verification
- Mismatched carrier OR malformed argument → Diagnostic::ResolveError
- No 'named but not checked' path remains

Scope expansion section added (L → XL):
- Predicate-body lowering for all 7 registered predicates
- Per-predicate arg-shape validation
- Multi-session work acknowledged
- Carrier-check at 788d6acb4 retained; predicate-body builds on top

Acceptance bullets updated: gt_zero with arg-shape validation +
all 7 predicates with carrier+argument contract verification.

Director-pinned brief-authoring discipline: dissolution trigger
named in a brief authored as substrate-fact-introduction must
specify same-slice acceptance, not deferred follow-up. Otherwise
the brief encodes 'land bridge + defer dissolution' anti-pattern,
the same shape feedback_construction_over_ratchets warns against
at implementation layer applied at brief authoring layer.

This is the 11th miss this session — but the pattern surfacing it
(direct sweep + Codex REQUEST_CHANGES + Director ratification)
produces structural fixes that prevent the next miss class. Brief
revision is the structural recovery.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Path 2 RATIFIED (Gap 1 discharge + Q-Regex carve-out)

Director Path 2 RATIFIED at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4391985613
post Rung 3 STOP at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-4391946213.

Path 2 narrowing of Path (a):
- gt_zero + range body synthesis already landed (5f3c40c3a)
- Gap 1 discharge mechanism: extends scalar-literal predicate
  evaluation at lower-time. L-class; lands SAME SLICE per
  same-slice-dissolution discipline
- non_empty + brand body synthesis: lands via Gap 1 discharge
- pattern / format / content: fail-closed-with-named-dep at
  user-code authoring layer (Diagnostic::ResolveError naming
  Q-Regex-Primitive). NOT placeholder; structural rejection
- PB-1 shim FULLY RETIRED per hard scope bar #3
- Q-Regex-Primitive carved as follow-on substrate-fact-introduction
  (XL substrate; not pre-authored per feedback_construction_over_ratchets)

Acceptance updated:
- 4 of 7 body-synthesized in same slice
- 3 of 7 fail-closed-with-named-dep (no placeholder semantics)
- Gap 1 discharge mechanism landed (no partial implementation)

Worker disposition: proud-lynx-311 continues Rung 3 with Gap 1
implementation + non_empty/brand body synthesis + pattern/format/
content fail-closed-with-named-dep diagnostic.

* docs(briefs): S9 Phase-1 Step 3 emission entries — Tier-1 brief authoring (1/5)

First Tier-1 brief landing post Director auto-nudge on assignment
#1858. Authored against Q-MachineConstraint sub-decisions ratified
shape now landed at #1856:

- Int<N> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<N>> → Rust i32/i64/i128
- UInt<N> ≡ Compose<CommutativeSemiring, MachineWidth<N>> → Rust u32/u64/u128
- 6 concrete instantiations (≥3 minimum per sub-decision 5)
- Cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for G2 emission consumption
- numeric_construction_demonstration Acceptance bullet (Int<32> round-trip);
  Real<64> half deferred to S9 Phase 2 / S8 Float cascade

Brief authored with substrate-state-grep discipline + same-slice-
dissolution discipline (no deferred trigger; demonstration in same
slice or explicitly carved). 5-question authority audit completed
in brief body.

Worker pin proud-lynx-311 (S9 holds); brief queues post-Slice-2.5
completion as natural follow-on.

Tier-1 brief queue progress:
- 1/5 authored (this brief)
- 4 remaining: S9 Phase-2 Float coordination; T-LBP complexity
  cementing; T-LBP cost cementing; S3 Phase-2 parser-grammar

* docs(briefs): S3 Phase-2 parser-grammar surface — Tier-1 brief 2/5

Authored per Director freed-pool pressure at gunbc#828
#issuecomment-4392095857 + Tier-1 brief-queue commitment.

Brief covers parser-grammar surface for Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint>
interaction syntax post-#1856 (Phase-1 carrier slice landed):

- Phase 2.1: Parser surface per ratified Q-MachineConstraint-Grammar-Shape
- Phase 2.2: Bootstrap demonstrator with >=3 algebra*machine-axis pairs
- Phase 2.3: Class 1 5-criteria Pass receipt (criteria 1-4; criterion 5
  v2-oracle parity may carve)
- Phase 2.4: numeric_construction_demonstration co-receipt with S9 Phase-1
  Step 3 emission entries brief

Director ratification HOLDS on grammar bikeshed:
- Candidate A: Int @ Width<32> (annotation form)
- Candidate B: Int with MachineWidth<32> (with-form)
- Candidate C: Int<32> (positional generic — fits existing convention)
- Candidate D: Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<32>> (no parser change;
  type aliases provide convenience names)

Worker pin valiant-ant-72 holds (S3 Phase-1 precedent owner); freed-pool
until Director ratifies grammar shape.

Tier-1 brief queue progress: 2/5 authored (this brief + S9 Phase-1 Step 3).
Remaining: S9 Phase-2 Float coordination; T-LBP complexity cementing;
T-LBP cost cementing.

* docs(briefs): S3 Phase-2 brief — fix internal contradiction on Class 1 closure scope

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1889 sha ec609b4a flagged real
contradiction:

- Provenance section claimed '5-criteria Pass closed' (line 229)
- Phase 2.3 said 'criterion 5 may queue separately' (line 154)
- STOP-AND-ESCALATE bullet 1 ratified 4-of-5 carve-out (line 181)

Updated Provenance to consistently state criteria 1-4 close in this
slice; criterion 5 (v2-oracle parity) cementing test may carve to
separate slice. Single 4-of-5 framing throughout. INVARIANTS.md
'Documentation Describes Live State' satisfied.

Per feedback_construction_over_ratchets: don't claim closure that
isn't structurally complete. 4-of-5 + named carve is the honest
shape; 5/5 only on cementing-test land.

pattern/format/content half of shim retirement on Options A/B/C
ratification while preserving Director hard scope bar #3 binding
on the gt_zero/range/non_empty/brand half (cleanly retired via
Gap 1). No path leaves PB-1 alive as parallel-authority shim on

BLOCKING (boundary discipline / same-PR consumer): S9 Phase-1 Step 3
+ Phase-2 Float briefs claimed DECLARED → CONSUMER_LANDED upon merge
while only requiring cross-program handoff receipt to Grounding G2.
For target-primitive substrate entries, handoff is not landed-consumer
proof. Reframed both briefs to advance rows DECLARED → PRODUCER_LANDED;
Grounding G2 follow-on PR (per-pair lowering rules + emitted-Rust-
primitive verification) advances to CONSUMER_LANDED. Default
split-PR producer-then-consumer per bundled-scope discipline ratified
at gunbc#1739 #issuecomment-4392225548 (parallel infrastructure
DISALLOWED in same PR).

NON-BLOCKING (citation hygiene): replaced ellipsized
"#issuecomment-4392..." stubs in slice-2.5 brief with the exact
Director Option-4-rejection comment ID #issuecomment-4392081719 so
the ratification claim is mechanically checkable.

Director ratified Option A revised at gunbc#1739 #issuecomment-4392329709
(2026-05-06). Final brief shape:
- 4 predicates body-synthesize via Gap 1 (gt_zero / range / non_empty
  / brand)
- pattern / format / content STRUCTURALLY ABSENT from registry (not
  pending-with-placeholder); user-code where-clause produces
  Diagnostic::ResolveError naming Q-Regex-Primitive as separate
  substrate-fact-introduction follow-on
- ~12 types.dag refined-type declarations migrate to drop
  pattern/format/content where-clauses with inline-comment receipts
  pointing to Q-Regex restoration path; 1 extdep (sts_endpoint)
  adapts as needed
- PB-1 shim FULLY RETIRED — no exception, no preserved branch
- Q-Regex-Primitive as separate brief / worker pin / Director
  ratification cycle when concretely needed (Option B XXL bundling
  REJECTED)

Phase ordering rewritten to absorb migration as explicit phase
between predicate enrollment and shim retirement. proud-lynx-311

* canvas: emission-provenance substrate shape disposition (supersedes PR #1902 PROPOSAL)

Substrate Mgr canvas authored post-codex BLOCKING + PM disposition
handoff at gunbc#846 #issuecomment-4392510255.

Two real substrate-shape questions stacked:

Q1 (category mismatch): Lens<C>.read is per-Behavior; emission
provenance is per-emitted-line. 4 options surfaced — (a) per-Behavior
Lens-compatible / (b) per-line instrumentation NOT a lens / (c)
withdraw + re-canvas / (d) Mgr-surface both substrates distinct.
Mgr recommends (d) if visualization is load-bearing; (a) suffices
if per-Behavior aggregate works for the slide. Brian-channel
sub-question surfaced.

Q2 (fold-rule enumerability): T-Rule-Enumeration substrate-fact-
introduction is prerequisite for every Q1 path (rust_target.rs uses
inline &str template names; rules not enumerable). Mgr recommends
parallel-dispatch with Q1 deliberation — satisfies Brian's ASAP
framing while shape ratifies.

Q3 (§1.8 ledger retarget): #89 already taken by T-LAS; new cluster
location follows Q1 disposition.

Director ratification ask + Brian-channel sub-question surfaced.
PR #1902 close-superseded post-ratification.

per Q-MC sub-decision 3 critical correction at gunbc#828
#issuecomment-4385530115:

  "prior phrasing Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> was wrong
  — AbelianGroup<T> is a witness shape over carrier T, not a carrier
  constructor; bare AbelianGroup in slot-1 composes witness rather
  than concept."

Slot-1 is the fully-applied algebraic-concept name:
- Int<N>  = Compose<Int,  MachineWidth<N>>   (Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>>)
- UInt<N> = Compose<UInt, MachineWidth<N>>   (UInt = CommutativeSemiring<Nat>)
- Real<N> = Compose<Real, MachineWidth<N>>   (Real = ApproximateField<Rational>)

Phase-2 Float brief also retargets user-facing surface from Float<N>

Real is the algebraic-concept name per Q-MC sub-decision 3 example).

* WIP: R3 Substrate

* briefs: address codex BLOCKING bundle (sha 2ed1046e) — record-form provenance + emit_model carrier alignment + T-Rule-Enumeration retirement flag

Three findings addressed:

1. Lens brief (Finding #1 — provenance shape conflates source vs rule
   attribution): replaced typed-sum EmissionOrigin with record
   EmissionProvenance { rule: EmissionRule [mandatory], source_span:
   Option<SourceSpan> [optional] }. Co-inhabitance is real (e.g.,
   #[derive(Debug)] line has both rule=derive_for_disj AND span
   attribution to Foo decl). Rule-mandatory enforces fail-closed
   structurally; Practice 4 N/A (record, not coproduct).

2. T-Rule-Enumeration brief (Finding #2 — rule authority lives in
   spec/rust.dag + v3.std.emit_model, not call-site strings): brief
   status flipped to FLAGGED FOR RETIREMENT. Same finding as
   smart-ram-167 STOP at gunbc#1759 #issuecomment-4392696623; Reading
   C surfaced to Director at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4392780871.

3. Rust-primitive-full-coverage brief (Finding #3 — BoundDeclaration
   not wired into TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound row surface):
   reframed Deliverable 2 to target the actual carrier
   `v3.std.emit_model::TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound` (used by
   `TargetIntegerTypeInhabitance` rows in src/v3/spec/rust.dag lines
   169-207). Two paths surfaced: Option (i) wire BoundDeclaration into
   TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound; Option (ii) populate via existing
   variants if PlatformDependent already exists on the live carrier.
   Worker DFS at dispatch picks. Deliverable 3 retargeted to
   TargetIntegerTypeInhabitance rows (the actual surface).

Codex BLOCKING inline at PR #1910 line 65 (sha 98507c432) verified at
HEAD: TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound = BoundUnspecified | StaticBoundFact(IntInterval).
No PlatformDependent variant. Earlier brief framing of Option (ii)
(populate via existing variants) was infeasible.

Brief reframed: carrier refactor is required (not optional). Two
structural shapes for the refactor — (i.a) embed BoundDeclaration
(Mgr recommendation; single-authority discipline) vs (i.b) extend
variant set with PlatformDependent. Existing 5 rows migrate either
way; bootstrap snapshot semantic-equivalence non-negotiable.

Per codex review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cde): the new briefs
introduced fresh `INVARIANTS.md:<line>` citations — the same
stale-line-anchor shape the :425 sweep brief itself names as needing

* fix(briefs): correct L6 type count + r3-435 dual-path retirement receipt

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cde):

1. L6 brief said acceptance ratchet asserts "five types" exist but
   declares six (ShapeATarget, FormAxis, BehaviorAxis,

   Updated both occurrences to enumerate all six explicitly.

2. r3-435 brief authorized both Path A (typed-AST reader, deletes
   IntegrationRsScan) and Path B (scanner widening with Char state),
   but retirement receipt language only covered Path B. Updated
   ROADMAP/ledger retirement and authority-audit step 5 to cover
   both authorized dissolution paths.

* fix(briefs): L6 second 'five types' site + T-E-P lookup-gate authority

Per cursor review on PR #1782 (sha 2072b986):

1. L6 brief acceptance bullet at :131 still said "five types" while
   the parenthetical and the Slice step at :117 said six. The prior
   fix only caught one of two sites; corrected the second.

2. T-E-P brief `e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative` acceptance
   named only `lower_call_pattern` as "the only route from call
   site to LoweringTarget" — but Phase 2 explicitly requires
   lenses route through `per_call_pattern_at` (the L-7 single-
   authority lookup), NOT `lower_call_pattern` (compiler-internal).
   Acceptance text rewritten to name `per_call_pattern_at` as the
   consumer-facing gate and clarify `lower_call_pattern`'s
   internal-only scope.

* fix(briefs): strengthen L6 ratchet from count-parity to per-row bijection

Per openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1782 (sha 2072b986): the L6
acceptance ratchet asserted only row-count parity between
emission_path_projections and the union of MethodTemplateContract
rows. Count parity permits duplicate projection keys and missing
source rows — the bridge from list-non-empty proxy to per-row
projection would not be mechanically proven. The whole point of
introducing MethodTemplateContractKey { target, dag_method } is to
provide 1:1 row identity.

Rewrites the ratchet to assert per-row bijection: every
MethodTemplateContract source row has exactly one matching
EmissionPathProjection row by key; every projection key resolves
to exactly one source row; duplicate projection keys fail closed.

(The other openai-pro BLOCKING finding — T-E-P
e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative naming the wrong authority
— was already fixed at 6282a0704; the review citation was against
the pre-fix sha 2072b986.)

* fix(briefs): split L6 ratchet into slice-active vs deferred-activation gates

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at d92459423: the prior
bijection ratchet was unsatisfiable as authored. The
*_method_template_contracts lists at HEAD (rust/python/go) are
non-empty; shipping emission_path_projections: [] alongside a
strict bijection requirement means the bijection cannot pass when
the slice lands — source rows would be uncovered. Prior text
incorrectly said "vacuously true on the empty source set" — the
SOURCE set isn't empty, only the projection set is.

Splits the ratchet into two gate categories:
- Slice-active gates: types/data shape exist + empty-state
  predicate (emission_path_projections == []).
- Deferred-activation gate: per-row key bijection, authored as a
  test scaffold by this slice but #[ignore]'d (or feature-gated
  on len > 0) until Grounding's follow-up populates rows. On
  activation, asserts the bijection over the populated set.

This honors P1 doc faithfulness: the slice's acceptance contract
is satisfiable as authored, and the bijection becomes the
load-bearing gate the row-population PR satisfies.

* fix(briefs): require L6 bootstrap enrollment to honor P2 facts-flow-forward

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at L6:34: the slice authored
src/v3/std/cross_target_coverage.dag but never required enrolling
it in the bootstrap/load authority. Without enrollment the file
is dead-letter on disk and EmissionPathProjection can be absent
from the downstream Dag — silent P2 facts-flow-forward violation.

Adds a new Slice step 2 requiring a cross_target_coverage field
on BootstrapFixtures in src/v3/std/extdeps_bootstrap_fixtures.dag
mirroring the *_method_template_contracts enrollment pattern, plus
a loader-visibility ratchet. Renumbers subsequent Slice steps.
Adds matching Acceptance bullet.

Codex review on PR #1782 (sha 2614217e) flagged stale citation
"Practice 4 (Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist)" in
S3 brief — no such checklist step exists in the pinned rubric.

Live rule per docs/modeling-discipline.md:131-134 is the "What to

dissolution). Updated the S3 reference to cite that line directly
and drop the stale "Step 4 of type-introduction checklist" wording.

S2/S8/S9 already use bare "Practice 4" without the stale steps wording.
S1 (committed earlier today) does not contain the stale phrase.
S6 (pre-existing brief flagged by reviewer as carrying the same
pattern) is out of this branch's scope; flag for separate paydown.

Codex review on PR #1782 flagged the stale "Step 4 of the

dissolution) at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131.

Sweep across docs/ found 2 additional briefs carrying the stale

- docs/briefs/r3-l6-emission-path-projection-substrate-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-x1b-s1-transform-dispatch-substrate-worker.md

Per parent inbox status flag at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385346221:
add a Citation discipline section to brief-authoring-checklist.md
naming the correct shape — Practice 4 (coproduct dissolution) +
"What to check" rule at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131 — and
calling out the stale "Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist"
phrasing as a failure mode. References the corpus sweep at
2dc92f34f.

Prevents future briefs that copy old templates from re-introducing
the stale citation pattern.

* docs(r3): cascade work post-Director ratification — S1 worker, R4 routing, Unit/Quantity canvas

Per Director ratification at gunbc#828 inbox response 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812):

1. S1 Q1+Q2 RATIFIED → author S1 gap-test representative worker brief
   (`r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md`). Dispatchable
   on T-E-P Phase 1 + E6-G0d landing; closes ledger row #61.

2. S2 Q2 RATIFIED (option-(b) T-LBP narrowing) + S3 + S8 deferrals →
   R4 carve-out routing ledger (`docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md`).
   Captures C1 (parallelism lens), C2 (effect_enum lens), C3
   (register narrowing), C4 (deferred MachineConstraint axes),
   C5 (rounding-mode product extension), C6 (Unit/Quantity).
   Cascade messages to Verification / Grounding / Debt-Paydown Mgrs.

3. S9 Phase-3 dimensional refinement boundary → Unit/Quantity carrier
   canvas (`r3-substrate-s9-unit-quantity-carrier-canvas.md`).
   Surfaces Q-Unit-1..5 for Director ratification: carrier name,
   2-axis vs 3-axis Phase-1, Duration/Seconds collapse, Refined
   composition order, Practice 4 classification.

Updates §1.8 ledger receipts for carved items; R3 closure receipts
treat carved items as explicitly-deferred (not drift).

* docs(briefs): citation-discipline fix-forward — anchors/quotes, not line numbers

Director redirect at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... noted the citation
paydown's replacement form (`docs/modeling-discipline.md:131`) is the
same drift class as the original fabricated-step error. Bare line
numbers shift silently on any doc edit above the cited line.

Generalized fix:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md "Citation discipline" section
  rewritten to prohibit bare line-numbers across ALL cross-doc
  references (modeling-discipline.md, r3-program-plan.md,
  r3-structure.md, INVARIANTS.md, MODELING.md, etc.). Use section
  anchors (#section-name) or rule-text quotes.
- 3 briefs that swapped in :131 (S3, S6, X1B) re-converted:
  - docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution anchor
  - "What to check" rule quoted inline (self-contained)

Brief-authoring-checklist failure-mode section names both vectors
(fabricated step + bare line numbers) and references both sweep
commits in audit trail.

Broader cross-doc citation sweep across briefs I authored on this
branch (frontmatter authority-docs lists, body prose) is recommended
per Director note — flagging as separate paydown task; this commit
closes the immediate recurrence vector.

* docs(briefs): fix unfaithful Int=AbelianGroup<Nat> + sweep stale 'Step 4' refs

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 sha 0ecd4818 (gunbc#1782 #...):

BLOCKING fix (P1 modeling faithfulness):
- S9 + S3 directed workers to model `Int = AbelianGroup<Nat>`,
  but Nat is not an Abelian-group carrier (additive inverses
  not representable). Reframed:
  - `Int` is the additive Abelian group on integers (carrier Z);
    `Nat` is a commutative monoid under addition.
  - Algebraic relationship is **explicit group-completion**:
    `Int ≡ GroupCompletion<CommutativeMonoid<Nat>>` — NOT
    `AbelianGroup<Nat>` parameterization.
  - Worker either models `Int` directly as `AbelianGroup`
    (terminal Abelian-group instance) OR introduces explicit
    `GroupCompletion<M>` substrate carrier; decision lands in
    Phase-1 PR per P1 procedure.
- S3 cross-reference + Phase-4 algebra-axis preservation note
  reframed accordingly.

NON-BLOCKING in-PR cleanup (Practice 4 citation discipline):
- 6 briefs still carrying stale 'Practice 4 Step 4' wording
  (r3-coproduct-1/2/3, r3-l6, r3-t-e-p, r3-x1b) updated to use
  the section anchor (`docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution`)
  + inline rule-text quote ("What to check") form per the
  citation discipline established in `b4cae5299`.

Closes both findings from openai-pro review.

* docs(briefs): Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED — apply Scale.Unit→One rename + ratification banner

Director ratified Q-Unit-1..5 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812). All 5 questions ratified; one rename required:

- Scale enum's `Unit` value collides with outer `Unit<Q, S>` carrier
  name (`Unit<Time, Unit>` is shadowing-confusing). Rename to `One`.
- Duration ≡ Unit<Time, One> (collapses with Seconds per Q-Unit-3).
- Milliseconds ≡ Unit<Time, Milli>.

Canvas updated:
- Top-level RATIFICATION banner records all 5 ratifications + rename
- Scale enum: `Unit` → `One` (with inline rename receipt)
- Sketch product expansions use `Unit<Time, One>` / `Unit<Time, Milli>`
- Phase-3 reframe table products updated
- Q-Unit-3 prose collapse reference updated

Subsequent worker brief authoring (Unit/Quantity carrier landing
post-prerequisite) inherits the renamed shape.

* docs(briefs): Unit/Quantity carrier worker brief — Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED

Worker brief consumes the ratified Unit/Quantity canvas
(`5f22fd06e` ratification banner). Phase-1 lands `Unit<Q, S>` +
`Quantity` + `Scale` declarations at the ratified shape (Scale's
`One` value per Q-Unit-1 rename). Phase-2 reframes S9 Phase-3
dimensional refinements (Duration / Seconds / Milliseconds) to
outer-Refined / inner-Unit composition per Q-Unit-4 RATIFIED.
EpochMs deferred to R4 C6 (Aspect-axis follow-up).

Practice 4 marks pre-determined per Q-Unit-5: `Unit<Q, S>` 🟢
PRIMITIVE; `Quantity` + `Scale` 🟡 SCAFFOLD with "consumed by ≥1
emission rule" dissolution trigger.

Cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for dimensional
emission consumption documented.

Worker pin TBD — dispatchable when idle pool refreshes.

* docs(briefs): S9 Phase-1 reframed — Int landed at #1466; UInt-only migration

Per proud-lynx-311 dispatch ack at gunbc#1739 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: re-grep at HEAD revealed substrate state diverges
materially from S9 brief's "Option A vs B decide" framing.

Reality check at HEAD:
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:55` already carries
  `type Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>>` per Slice 3 PR
  #1466 / commit `4ba0a6d04`. Single-authority Q6 audit doc at
  `docs/audit/t-numeric-construction-group-completion-6q.md`
  ratified this shape and explicitly rejected the compact form.
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:56` still on legacy `type UInt = UInt64`
  alias; UInt migration is the actual Phase-1 worker scope.

Brief Phase-1 step 1 reframed: Int landing acknowledged; worker
confirms HEAD match. Phase-1 step 2 reframed: UInt migration
target named (`type UInt = CommutativeMonoid<Nat>`); fixed-width
rows preserved per existing legacy-rows policy.

Historical Option A vs B framing kept as note (superseded).

Confirmed S9 dispatch ack from worker; UInt-only Phase-1 PR is
in-scope. Emission entries deferred per S3 (valiant-ant-72
pre-landing); Phase-2 deferred per S8 (quiet-boar-160 pre-landing).

* docs(briefs): fix two BLOCKING citation drift items per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 sha 5f22fd06 flagged two authority-receipt
gaps:

1. brief-authoring-checklist.md:118 — `<this-commit>` placeholder in
   the failure-mode section was unverifiable post-merge. Replaced
   with `b4cae5299` (the actual anchor/quote conversion commit).

2. r3-378-http-path-helper-fail-open-worker.md:84 — `INVARIANTS.md
   C-8 fail-closed` cited without anchor or rule-text quote, in
   violation of the citation discipline added in this PR.
   Converted to `INVARIANTS.md#p3-fail-closed` (P3 heading anchor)
   + inline rule-text quote naming P3 + C-8.

PR's own discipline now consistently applied across the diff.

* docs(briefs): sweep bare .md:NNN citations in Substrate-Mgr-authored briefs

Per Director recommendation in citation-discipline thread (gunbc#828
follow-on): bare line-number references drift silently. Swept 19
remaining instances across 5 briefs I authored on this branch:

- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-q-class-2-chain-break-gap-test-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s2-t-lbp-scope-calibration-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s3-machine-constraint-carrier-worker.md

Conversion: bare `file.md:NNN` → `file.md §"Section name"` form.
Stable; survives doc edits; human-readable. Section names per
HEAD heading audit.

Verification: `grep -nE '.md:[0-9]+' docs/briefs/r3-substrate-*.md
docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md` returns zero results in
Substrate-Mgr-authored scope.

Broader corpus scope (~232 references across non-Substrate briefs)
remains as separate paydown task.

* docs(briefs): fix BLOCKING + NON-BLOCKING items per openai-pro review on a462f007

Three findings addressed; 2 BLOCKING + 1 NON-BLOCKING:

BLOCKING — R3/R4 dual authority for Unit/Quantity carrier:
R4 carve-out C6 narrowed from "Unit/Quantity carrier landing"
(deferred all of it) to **"Aspect-axis (PointKind) follow-on
for EpochMs and instant/rate-shaped refinements only"**. The
2-axis Measure<Q,S> carrier landing IS in R3 per Q-Unit-1..5
RATIFIED; only the Aspect axis (PointKind = Magnitude | Instant
| Rate) carves to R4. Cascade-message C6 reference + R4 program-
plan input list updated to match. Cross-Mgr message clarifies
Grounding consumes 2-axis dimensional refinements in R3.

BLOCKING — Locked design partially applied (Scale.Unit→One
rename in canvas alternate-sketch sections):
- Canvas line 105-108 alternate sketch ("Open question: Instant
  vs Duration axis") still used pre-rename `Unit` Scale value;
  added pre-ratification disclaimer marking the section as
  deferred to R4 C6 + noting `Unit` is pre-rename
- Canvas line 163 Q-Unit-3 collapse note: `Scale = Unit` → `Scale = One`

(BLOCKING — bare line-numbers in S1 canvas frontmatter): NOT
APPLICABLE — already fixed at sweep commit 127287a66 prior to
review; reviewer was on sha a462f007 pre-sweep.

NON-BLOCKING — placeholder receipts:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385393971 (Director's anchor-discipline reply)
- r3-substrate-unit-quantity-carrier-worker.md (3 occurrences)
  + canvas RATIFICATION banner: `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385412256 (Q-Unit ratification reply)
- `<this-commit>` placeholder in checklist already fixed at 5be1c99f2

Verification: zero `#issuecomment-...` or `<this-commit>` placeholders
in docs/briefs/ + docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md.

* docs(briefs): codex BLOCKING review fixes — Practice 4 source-level + policy scope

Three BLOCKING findings on PR #1782 (codex sha b913e2f4):

1. **Citation-discipline policy scope**: addressed by scoping
   the rule prospectively to briefs landing after the policy
   commit (`b4cae5299`). Pre-existing corpus references are
   flagged as paydown but NOT individually blocking; coordinated
   single-PR sweep is the right paydown shape. Substrate-Mgr scope
   already swept at `127287a66`.

2. **R4 C6 reconciliation**: already fixed at `6e5a5481a` (R4 C6
   narrowed to Aspect-axis follow-on for EpochMs only; 2-axis
   carrier landing IS in R3). Codex sha b913e2f4 was pre-fix.

3. **Practice 4 source-level vs PR-body conflation**: corrected.
   Acceptance bullet for Unit/Quantity worker brief now requires
   inline checkpoint comments on the LIVE declarations in
   `dsl/std/units.dag` (load-bearing artifact per
   `docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution` "What to
   check"). PR-body summary is supplementary, not substitute.

Closes the review's reconciliation gates.

* docs(briefs): absorb Q-MachineConstraint + Q-Unit-1-Recanvas ratifications

Two major Director ratifications absorbed:

1. Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier RATIFIED at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385530115 (Brian directive 2026-05-06: "universal
   substrate, ratify defaults"; PR #1817 queued). 6 sub-decisions:
   - MachineWidth<bits> only for R3; defer RegisterClass / EndianMode
     / Alignment / signedness post-R3
   - Parametric Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint> type-level
     interaction shape (lookup-maps REJECTED — AlgebraMachineProduct
     record-keyed table form retracted)
   - Int<64> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> (algebra-side
     options A and B preserve interaction semantics)
   - Real<64> ≡ Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>, MachineWidth<64>>
     (algebra approx + machine approx as independent composing axes)
   - ≥3 pairs is minimum, not target
   - UNIVERSAL substrate: every target carries machine-constraint
     facts; targets without native machine-width semantics handle
     omission at Grounding-level discharge (target-conditioned
     lowering NOT target-conditioned substrate)

   Reframed: S3 brief Phase-1, S3 Phase-3/4 emission entries,
   S8 Phase-1/2/3 (ApproximateField<Real> → ApproximateField<Rational>;
   AlgebraMachineProduct → Compose<...>), S9 emission entries.

2. Q-Unit-1-Recanvas RATIFIED Measure<Q, S> at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385539791. valiant-ibex-312's substrate-state
   grep caught Unit<Q, S> collision with kernel Unit at
   dsl/std/types.dag:176; Director ratified Measure<Q, S> as
   outer carrier name (conventional in scientific computing;
   no dsl/std/ collision).

   Reframed: Unit/Quantity worker brief throughout (Unit<Q,S> →
   Measure<Q,S>; dsl/std/units.dag → dsl/std/measure.dag); canvas
   spec sections + sketch products (Refined<Measure<Time, ...>...>);
   R4 carve-out C6 with informal/formal name disambiguation note.

Both rename + reshape are now consistent across S3 / S8 / S9 /
Unit-Q briefs + canvas + R4 routing. Workers (valiant-ant-72 on S3,
quiet-boar-160 on S8, proud-lynx-311 on S9, valiant-ibex-312 on
Unit-Q) all dispatch against the ratified shape.

* docs(briefs): S11 Slice C worker brief — ROADMAP :425 retirement post-#1801

Cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1801 (Slice B) merge
2026-05-06. S11 brief authored per B1 RATIFIED prose+regen
bundling discipline.

Phase 1: per-file edits across the post-A+B residual list (~10
files per smart-ram-167's Slice B post-rebase enumeration);
anchor + rule-text-quote pattern per current citation discipline;
bootstrap regen in same PR (no split).

Phase 2: ROADMAP :425 row PARTIAL → Retired with 3-slice receipt;
Q-Slice-C-Retirement-Receipt resolution.

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice B precedent owner.
Dispatch packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED — defer literal Refined form

Director ratified option (c) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06:
drop `non_negative` predicate at Measure (phantom) layer; rely on
`Quantity = Time` tagging for non-negative-magnitude semantics.

Q-Unit-4 outer-Refined / inner-Measure composition is preserved as
**conceptual model**; the literal `Refined<Measure<...>, predicate>`
form is **deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up** when
substrate gains Refined<> as first-class type expression and
dimensional refinements get value-typed integration.

Updates:
- Canvas RATIFICATION banner Q-Unit-4 row reframed to "conceptual
  model; literal form deferred"
- Canvas Phase-3 reframe table: Duration / Milliseconds drop the
  Refined<...> wrapper; rely on Quantity tag
- Worker brief Phase-2 prose + reframe table + Acceptance bullet
  all reflect deferred-literal-form posture

valiant-ibex-312 unblocked to proceed with Phase-2 (Grounding
handoff doc) per the (c)-shaped Acceptance.

* docs(briefs): S12 F2 + F8 doc-sharpening worker brief — post-#1820 cascade

#1820 (Slice C) merged 2026-05-06; ROADMAP :425 row Retired closes
the prose-reference paydown program. S12 cascade-clearance trigger
fires per B6 RATIFIED single bundled Mgr-tier doc-sharpening PR.

Scope: F2 (.v3 filename-suffix grammar dispatch) + F8 (bootstrap
load-order/exclusion authority) — single bundled PR per B6.
Cross-program coordination with PB Mgr (#1742) per design schedule
§3 P5 (comment-only OR co-author; no duplicate PR).

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice C precedent owner;
pattern-familiar with prose+regen bundling discipline. Dispatch
packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): S9 brief — UInt landed via #1818; algebra label corrected to CommutativeSemiring

Per proud-lynx-311 merge report at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: PR #1818 landed `type UInt = Nat` after codex BLOCKING
review on initial `CommutativeMonoid<Nat>` form (P2 facts-flow-forward
violation — wrap projects out Nat's multiplicative monoid + identity 1).

Final landed form preserves full `CommutativeSemiring<Magnitude>`
surface — Nat IS a commutative semiring (addition + multiplication
+ 0 + 1). Algebra-side label for UInt is CommutativeSemiring, NOT
CommutativeMonoid (corrects my earlier dispatch labeling).

S9 Phase-1 step 2 marked LANDED with merge ref. Phase-1 step 3
emission entries reframed:
- Int<N> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<N>>
- UInt<N> ≡ Compose<CommutativeSemiring, MachineWidth<N>>

Worker discipline + reviewer caught a substrate-state error in my
brief framing; brief now matches landed reality.

* docs(briefs): fix contradictory (c) guidance in Unit/Quantity worker brief

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 1bce0418 caught a real
contradiction: brief Phase-2 prose at lines 115-118 stated
"predicates do NOT attach at the Measure (phantom) layer" per
Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED, but immediately
following paragraph at lines 130-132 still said "Refined predicate
non_negative applies at the Measure-typed level" — left over from
the original Q-Unit-4 framing.

Updated lines 130-137 to consistently apply (c) shape: predicates
deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up; dimensional semantics
ride on Quantity tag at Measure layer; worker authors 3 in-scope
refinements WITHOUT predicate at this layer.

P2 boundary discipline restored: brief now gives single-authority
guidance for Phase-2 substrate landing.

* docs(briefs): name predicate authority + concretize ratification ID — codex BLOCKING

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 32541a56:

1. (BLOCKING) Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) ratification deferred
   phantom-carrier predicates without naming the value-level predicate
   authority. Updated canvas Q-Unit-4 RATIFICATION row to explicitly
   name: 'predicates re-attach at value-typed Int/UInt level via
   where-sugar (e.g., range(min: 0) per current dsl/std/types.dag
   precedent)' when value-typed integration lands.

2. (BLOCKING) Worker brief option-c reframe didn't sweep the audit
   receipt §5 (Carrier dissolves the bridge). Updated to consistently
   apply (c) shape — dimensional semantics ride on Quantity tag at
   Measure layer; value-level predicate authority deferred; until
   then, range/gt_zero constraints attach at value-typed Int/UInt
   via where-sugar per dsl/std/types.dag convention.

3. (NON-BLOCKING) Canvas had #issuecomment-... placeholder for the
   (c) ratification message ID. Replaced with concrete
   #issuecomment-4385687075 per dashboard relay header.

Brief now names a single value-level authority (Int/UInt where-sugar)
for value-range facts; phantom-layer Quantity tag carries only
dimensional semantics. P2 boundary discipline maintained.

* docs(briefs): S12 RETIRED per Director option (2) ratification

Director ratified option (2) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385873...
2026-05-06 post smart-ram-167's substrate-state STOP-AND-ESCALATE:

- F2 absorbed by 2026-05-04 routing + #1662 closure
  (`Result/DivError span.file-keyed` retired)
- F8 topical concerns distributed across live rows
  (Class 5 Gap 3 `bootstrap.rs::std_fixtures()`; Character-level
  load-set / bootstrap; Filename-sentinel-bridges) with own owners
- Doc-discipline goals absorbed by per-Mgr citation paydown
  routing at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385583247

Frontmatter updated to RETIRED with absorption receipt. Worker
(smart-ram-167) pin freed.

Director-side acknowledgment of Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation:
"Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation is the right move
structurally. Most Mgrs default to 'synthesize work to fill the brief'
when canvas-vs-HEAD mismatch surfaces. Recommending retirement when
the work is genuinely absorbed is harder discipline."

* docs(briefs): S7 PR-F (BoundDeclaration consumer + ReferenceModel<T>) worker brief

Per cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1782 merge 2026-05-06.
loyal-wolf-828 (#1764) acknowledged S7 dispatch with substrate-state
pre-flight grep (gunbc#1764 #issuecomment-4385872...) and surfaced
await-brief posture. This brief satisfies that prerequisite.

Worker pre-flight inventory absorbed:
- BoundDeclaration substrate landed (substrate.dag StaticBound +
  PlatformDependent); partial BoundDeclarationView consumer in
  fold.rs (ScratchIntExamples scope; doc-explicit partial)
- ReferenceModel<T> NOT yet in dsl/std/ (substrate-fact-introduction
  required; design-emission-model.md §Q2 framing)

Phase-1: BoundDeclaration consumer broadening to full
design-emission-model.md surface (u128 / isize / usize / walker
arms / pilot mirror).

Phase-2: ReferenceModel<T> P1 substrate-fact-introduction with
DFS-of-concept-DAG + Practice 4 in-source checkpoint comment +
named consumer demand (Grounding G1).

Phase-3: cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for
G1 (T-Ground-Rust Phase 1).

Closure predicate: unblocks Grounding T-Ground-Rust Phase 1.
Worker pin loyal-wolf-828 holds; dispatch fires immediately
on this brief landing.

* docs(briefs): S9 Slice 2.5 — predicate-registry + PB-1 shim retirement (Path 3 RATIFIED)

Director ratified Path 3 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4390333451
post proud-lynx-311's pre-flight DFS at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-4390253616.

Brief reframes Slice 2.5 from S-sized (primitive + 1 consumer) to
L-sized (predicate registry + PB-1 shim retirement). 5 deliverables:
1. gt_zero primitive predicate
2. Predicate registry infrastructure (resolver-side substrate-fact-introduction)
3. PB-1 shim retirement (span.file=='dsl/std/types.dag' special case dissolves)
4. Migration of existing types.dag predicates (range, pattern, etc.)
5. PositiveInt = Refined<Nat, gt_zero> consumer update

Per Director hard scope bars: no parallel predicate-resolution path;
no per-call-site special-casing; PB-1 shim retirement non-negotiable
in same slice. Single PR per Path 3 RATIFIED.

Discipline anchors: feedback_construction_over_ratchets (PB-1 shim
is bridge); feedback_dissolve_bridges (registry is structural fix);
feedback_no_textual_enforcement_bridges (file-path special-case is
anti-pattern shape); P1 substrate-fact-introduction procedure.

Worker pin proud-lynx-311 — Director pre-cleared on pre-flight DFS
context. PR #1840 (partial Slice 2 — NonNegativeInt = Nat) MERGED
at 16:54Z; Slice 2.5 dispatchable immediately on this brief landing.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 audit receipt — Mgr independent grep parallel-verifies worker DFS

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1845 sha 2d230949 flagged: external PR
receipt absorbed as live substrate state without re-grepping local
std declarations at brief authoring time. Authority receipt §1
cited proud-lynx-311's pre-flight DFS as authority but didn't
record Mgr-side independent verification.

Updated audit receipt §1 + §4 to record Mgr's independent grep at
HEAD as parallel verification:
- gt_zero zero matches in dsl/std/ + src/v3/ (verified)
- NonNegativeInt = Nat at dsl/std/integer.dag:133 (#1840 land)
- PositiveInt = Int where range(min: 1) at dsl/std/types.dag:255
- PB-1 shim doc-block confirms bridge-text framing
- Predicate registry confirmed not present

Worker DFS remains the dispatch-time discipline (substrate-state
grep at dispatch); Mgr's independent grep is parallel verification,
not substitute. Per Director's pattern note at gunbc#828
#issuecomment-4390199218 + #issuecomment-4390333451: dispatch-packet
authoring discipline includes Mgr-side substrate-state-grep, not
just relay of worker findings.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Int extensibility scope-bound; lower.rs cites anchored

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1845 sha 2d230949 flagged 2 issues:

BLOCKING — P1 modeling faithfulness / substrate scope leak:
`gt_zero` Int-side extensibility was left to 'worker judgment if
generalization cheap'. Per feedback_construction_over_ratchets:
don't speculatively extend predicate-carrier compatibility ahead
of named consumer demand. Reframed to **EXPLICITLY OUT-OF-SCOPE**
for Slice 2.5; Nat-only registration. Future Int-side consumer
surfaces as separate substrate-fact-introduction (P1 procedure)
brief with own consumer-demand receipt.

NON-BLOCKING — citation discipline self-violation:
3 instances of bare `lower.rs:821-835` line-range citations
contradict the brief's own 'no bare :NNN' requirement at line 211.
Converted to function-name anchored form:
`src/v3/compiler/src/lower.rs` (`lower_type_alias_refinements_phase` doc-block).

Both findings absorbed; no parallel scope ambiguity remains;
brief now self-consistent on citation discipline.

* WIP: R3 Substrate

predicate-body lowering with carrier+argument contract
verification at lower-time IN SAME SLICE. Placeholder semantics
REMOVED from registry path.

Codex REQUEST_CHANGES surfaced that registered-predicate-without-
contract = silent acceptance per feedback_fail_closed_discipline.
Brief reframe absorbs Path (a):

Hard scope bar #5 added:
- Same-slice carrier+argument-contract verification
- Mismatched carrier OR malformed argument → Diagnostic::ResolveError
- No 'named but not checked' path remains

Scope expansion section added (L → XL):
- Predicate-body lowering for all 7 registered predicates
- Per-predicate arg-shape validation
- Multi-session work acknowledged
- Carrier-check at 788d6acb4 retained; predicate-body builds on top

Acceptance bullets updated: gt_zero with arg-shape validation +
all 7 predicates with carrier+argument contract verification.

Director-pinned brief-authoring discipline: dissolution trigger
named in a brief authored as substrate-fact-introduction must
specify same-slice acceptance, not deferred follow-up. Otherwise
the brief encodes 'land bridge + defer dissolution' anti-pattern,
the same shape feedback_construction_over_ratchets warns against
at implementation layer applied at brief authoring layer.

This is the 11th miss this session — but the pattern surfacing it
(direct sweep + Codex REQUEST_CHANGES + Director ratification)
produces structural fixes that prevent the next miss class. Brief
revision is the structural recovery.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Path 2 RATIFIED (Gap 1 discharge + Q-Regex carve-out)

Director Path 2 RATIFIED at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4391985613
post Rung 3 STOP at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-4391946213.

Path 2 narrowing of Path (a):
- gt_zero + range body synthesis already landed (5f3c40c3a)
- Gap 1 discharge mechanism: extends scalar-literal predicate
  evaluation at lower-time. L-class; lands SAME SLICE per
  same-slice-dissolution discipline
- non_empty + brand body synthesis: lands via Gap 1 discharge
- pattern / format / content: fail-closed-with-named-dep at
  user-code authoring layer (Diagnostic::ResolveError naming
  Q-Regex-Primitive). NOT placeholder; structural rejection
- PB-1 shim FULLY RETIRED per hard scope bar #3
- Q-Regex-Primitive carved as follow-on substrate-fact-introduction
  (XL substrate; not pre-authored per feedback_construction_over_ratchets)

Acceptance updated:
- 4 of 7 body-synthesized in same slice
- 3 of 7 fail-closed-with-named-dep (no placeholder semantics)
- Gap 1 discharge mechanism landed (no partial implementation)

Worker disposition: proud-lynx-311 continues Rung 3 with Gap 1
implementation + non_empty/brand body synthesis + pattern/format/
content fail-closed-with-named-dep diagnostic.

* docs(briefs): S9 Phase-1 Step 3 emission entries — Tier-1 brief authoring (1/5)

First Tier-1 brief landing post Director auto-nudge on assignment
#1858. Authored against Q-MachineConstraint sub-decisions ratified
shape now landed at #1856:

- Int<N> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<N>> → Rust i32/i64/i128
- UInt<N> ≡ Compose<CommutativeSemiring, MachineWidth<N>> → Rust u32/u64/u128
- 6 concrete instantiations (≥3 minimum per sub-decision 5)
- Cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for G2 emission consumption
- numeric_construction_demonstration Acceptance bullet (Int<32> round-trip);
  Real<64> half deferred to S9 Phase 2 / S8 Float cascade

Brief authored with substrate-state-grep discipline + same-slice-
dissolution discipline (no deferred trigger; demonstration in same
slice or explicitly carved). 5-question authority audit completed
in brief body.

Worker pin proud-lynx-311 (S9 holds); brief queues post-Slice-2.5
completion as natural follow-on.

Tier-1 brief queue progress:
- 1/5 authored (this brief)
- 4 remaining: S9 Phase-2 Float coordination; T-LBP complexity
  cementing; T-LBP cost cementing; S3 Phase-2 parser-grammar

* docs(briefs): S3 Phase-2 parser-grammar surface — Tier-1 brief 2/5

Authored per Director freed-pool pressure at gunbc#828
#issuecomment-4392095857 + Tier-1 brief-queue commitment.

Brief covers parser-grammar surface for Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint>
interaction syntax post-#1856 (Phase-1 carrier slice landed):

- Phase 2.1: Parser surface per ratified Q-MachineConstraint-Grammar-Shape
- Phase 2.2: Bootstrap demonstrator with >=3 algebra*machine-axis pairs
- Phase 2.3: Class 1 5-criteria Pass receipt (criteria 1-4; criterion 5
  v2-oracle parity may carve)
- Phase 2.4: numeric_construction_demonstration co-receipt with S9 Phase-1
  Step 3 emission entries brief

Director ratification HOLDS on grammar bikeshed:
- Candidate A: Int @ Width<32> (annotation form)
- Candidate B: Int with MachineWidth<32> (with-form)
- Candidate C: Int<32> (positional generic — fits existing convention)
- Candidate D: Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<32>> (no parser change;
  type aliases provide convenience names)

Worker pin valiant-ant-72 holds (S3 Phase-1 precedent owner); freed-pool
until Director ratifies grammar shape.

Tier-1 brief queue progress: 2/5 authored (this brief + S9 Phase-1 Step 3).
Remaining: S9 Phase-2 Float coordination; T-LBP complexity cementing;
T-LBP cost cementing.

* docs(briefs): S3 Phase-2 brief — fix internal contradiction on Class 1 closure scope

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1889 sha ec609b4a flagged real
contradiction:

- Provenance section claimed '5-criteria Pass closed' (line 229)
- Phase 2.3 said 'criterion 5 may queue separately' (line 154)
- STOP-AND-ESCALATE bullet 1 ratified 4-of-5 carve-out (line 181)

Updated Provenance to consistently state criteria 1-4 close in this
slice; criterion 5 (v2-oracle parity) cementing test may carve to
separate slice. Single 4-of-5 framing throughout. INVARIANTS.md
'Documentation Describes Live State' satisfied.

Per feedback_construction_over_ratchets: don't claim closure that
isn't structurally complete. 4-of-5 + named carve is the honest
shape; 5/5 only on cementing-test land.

Director ratified Option A revised at gunbc#1739 #issuecomment-4392329709
(2026-05-06). Final brief shape:
- 4 predicates body-synthesize via Gap 1 (gt_zero / range / non_empty
  / brand)
- pattern / format / content STRUCTURALLY ABSENT from registry (not
  pending-with-placeholder); user-code where-clause produces
  Diagnostic::ResolveError naming Q-Regex-Primitive as separate
  substrate-fact-introduction follow-on
- ~12 types.dag refined-type declarations migrate to drop
  pattern/format/content where-clauses with inline-comment receipts
  pointing to Q-Regex restoration path; 1 extdep (sts_endpoint)
  adapts as needed
- PB-1 shim FULLY RETIRED — no exception, no preserved branch
- Q-Regex-Primitive as separate brief / worker pin / Director
  ratification cycle when concretely needed (Option B XXL bundling
  REJECTED)

Phase ordering rewritten to absorb migration as explicit phase
between predicate enrollment and shim retirement. proud-lynx-311

* briefs: tier-1 4/5 + 5/5 — T-LBP complexity + cost lens cementing-test worker briefs

Tier-1 brief queue completes (4/5 + 5/5):

4/5 — T-LBP complexity-lens cementing test (§1.8 rows #79 + #87
first entry). Consumer-side cementing test against frozen v2-oracle
snapshot; producer-side Lens<Complexity> instance is upstream
precondition. Per Q-Lens-Behavioral-Parity-R3-Closeability option
(b) RATIFIED at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385329180 — T-LBP narrowed
to complexity + cost lenses only.

5/5 — T-LBP cost-lens cementing test + cost_lens_demonstration

naturally — same source corpus + lens run; demonstration adds
observable-cost-bound assertions on top of parity check. ≥2

* canvas: emission-provenance substrate shape disposition (supersedes PR #1902 PROPOSAL)

Substrate Mgr canvas authored post-codex BLOCKING + PM disposition
handoff at gunbc#846 #issuecomment-4392510255.

Two real substrate-shape questions stacked:

Q1 (category mismatch): Lens<C>.read is per-Behavior; emission
provenance is per-emitted-line. 4 options surfaced — (a) per-Behavior
Lens-compatible / (b) per-line instrumentation NOT a lens / (c)
withdraw + re-canvas / (d) Mgr-surface both substrates distinct.
Mgr recommends (d) if visualization is load-bearing; (a) suffices
if per-Behavior aggregate works for the slide. Brian-channel
sub-question surfaced.

Q2 (fold-rule enumerability): T-Rule-Enumeration substrate-fact-
introduction is prerequisite for every Q1 path (rust_target.rs uses
inline &str template names; rules not enumerable). Mgr recommends
parallel-dispatch with Q1 deliberation — satisfies Brian's ASAP
framing while shape ratifies.

Q3 (§1.8 ledger retarget): #89 already taken by T-LAS; new cluster
location follows Q1 disposition.

Director ratification ask + Brian-channel sub-question surfaced.

brief mixed Compose<AbelianGroup, ...> with Compose<Int, ...>; S9

per Q-MC sub-decision 3 critical correction at gunbc#828
#issuecomment-4385530115:

  "prior phrasing Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> was wrong
  — AbelianGroup<T> is a witness shape over carrier T, not a carrier
  constructor; bare AbelianGroup in slot-1 composes witness rather
  than concept."

Slot-1 is the fully-applied algebraic-concept name:
- Int<N>  = Compose<Int,  MachineWidth<N>>   (Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>>)
- UInt<N> = Compose<UInt, MachineWidth<N>>   (UInt = CommutativeSemiring<Nat>)
- Real<N> = Compose<Real, MachineWidth<N>>   (Real = ApproximateField<Rational>)

Phase-2 Float brief also retargets user-facing surface from Float<N>

Real is the algebraic-concept name per Q-MC sub-decision 3 example).

* WIP: R3 Substrate

* briefs: address codex BLOCKING bundle (sha 2ed1046e) — record-form provenance + emit_model carrier alignment + T-Rule-Enumeration retirement flag

Three findings addressed:

1. Lens brief (Finding #1 — provenance shape conflates source vs rule
   attribution): replaced typed-sum EmissionOrigin with record
   EmissionProvenance { rule: EmissionRule [mandatory], source_span:
   Option<SourceSpan> [optional] }. Co-inhabitance is real (e.g.,
   #[derive(Debug)] line has both rule=derive_for_disj AND span
   attribution to Foo decl). Rule-mandatory enforces fail-closed
   structurally; Practice 4 N/A (record, not coproduct).

2. T-Rule-Enumeration brief (Finding #2 — rule authority lives in
   spec/rust.dag + v3.std.emit_model, not call-site strings): brief
   status flipped to FLAGGED FOR RETIREMENT. Same finding as
   smart-ram-167 STOP at gunbc#1759 #issuecomment-4392696623; Reading
   C surfaced to Director at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4392780871.

3. Rust-primitive-full-coverage brief (Finding #3 — BoundDeclaration
   not wired into TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound row surface):
   reframed Deliverable 2 to target the actual carrier
   `v3.std.emit_model::TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound` (used by
   `TargetIntegerTypeInhabitance` rows in src/v3/spec/rust.dag lines
   169-207). Two paths surfaced: Option (i) wire BoundDeclaration into
   TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound; Option (ii) populate via existing
   variants if PlatformDependent already exists on the live carrier.

   TargetIntegerTypeInhabitance rows (the actual surface).

HEAD: TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound = BoundUnspecified | StaticBoundFact(IntInterval).
No PlatformDependent variant. Earlier brief framing of Option (ii)
(populate via existing variants) was infeasible.

Brief reframed: carrier refactor is required (not optional). Two
structural shapes for the refactor — (i.a) embed BoundDeclaration
(Mgr recommendation; single-authority discipline) vs (i.b) extend
variant set with PlatformDependent. Existing 5 rows migrate either
way; bootstrap snapshot semantic-equivalence non-negotiable.

   trigger flags this as substrate-cascade if threading isn't
   structurally possible (typed template-with-rule-path or
   DeclarationRef carrier needed).

2. Read domain coverage gap: Lens<C>.read is per-Behavior; emitted
   output also includes declarations + program scaffold. Acceptance
   scope explicitly narrowed to Behavior-attributable lines only;
   declarations + scaffold provenance out-of-scope (separate substrate
   cascade if surfaced). Acceptance bullet retargeted to
   "Behavior-attributable span-Some + Behavior-attributable span-None"
   rather than full-emission coverage.

* rust-primitive-full-coverage: revert to Option (ii) — Mgr ratification-state-grep miss caught by valiant-ibex-312

valiant-ibex-312 ratification-state-grep at gunbc#1761
#issuecomment-4393074602 surfaced that origin/main HEAD has
TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound with 3 variants including
PlatformDependentFact (mirrors BoundDeclaration::PlatformDependent).
Earlier brief framing at 4229cd09d was against pre-PlatformDependentFact
state per codex BLOCKING reading; main moved since.

Option (ii) IS feasible: isize/usize rows populate via existing
PlatformDependentFact variant directly; u128 row populates StaticBoundFact
with BigInt-widened ExactInterval (Deliverable 1 unchanged). No
carrier refactor needed; 5 existing rows untouched.

Second Mgr-tier ratification-state-grep miss today (first was symbol-only
grep on T-Rule-Enumeration; now stale-codex-vs-current-HEAD on
TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound). Worker-tier discipline caught it before
sinking time into invasive Option (i.a) refactor.

Single-authority concern (parallel-named variants on
TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound vs BoundDeclaration) noted as future
substrate-fact-introduction; not blocking this slice — explicit-mirror
is the existing convention.

* rust-primitive-full-coverage: align Acceptance + Phase ordering + STOP triggers to Option (ii) (resolve codex internal-contradiction finding)

codex BLOCKING on PR #1929 sha 14f68b63 caught real internal contradiction: Context section flipped to Option (ii) feasible at 57ae4349b but Acceptance + Phase ordering still referenced BoundDeclaration migration / RustPrimitive bound field refactor from earlier Option (i.a) framing.

All sections now consistent with Option (ii):
- Phase 4 = no-op (TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound carrier untouched)
- Phase 5 = spec/rust.dag rows for isize/usize via existing PlatformDependentFact variant
- Phase 6 = u128 row via StaticBoundFact(IntInterval) + ratchet update
- Acceptance retargeted to row-population shape (no carrier refactor; existing 5 TargetIntegerTypeInhabitance rows untouched)
- STOP triggers retargeted to TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound variant-set sufficiency at HEAD
- Why-bundled rationale rewritten to Option (ii) shape (Phase A widening unblocks u128 StaticBoundFact; isize/usize use existing PlatformDependentFact)

* lens brief: narrow Deliverable 3 verification step 4 to Behavior-attributable lines (resolve codex #2 consistency)

codex BLOCKING #2 on PR #1929 sha 812602b4 caught: Acceptance + STOP triggers narrowed to Behavior-attributable lines but Deliverable 3 cementing-test step 4 still said 'every emitted line'. Now consistent — step 4 explicitly scopes to Behavior-attributable subset; declarations + program scaffold OUT-OF-SCOPE per same Finding #2 framing.

(codex BLOCKING #1 — claim that PlatformDependentFact NOT on main — is wrong; verified at origin/main HEAD: TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound has 3 variants including PlatformDependentFact. Rebut on PR.)

* briefs: pre-author IntPlatform/UIntPlatform substrate-fact-introduction follow-on (Director ratification at #4393248961)

Per Director Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4 RATIFICATION at gunbc#1739 #issuecomment-4393248961 (2026-05-07): pre-author follow-on brief for the substrate cascade surfaced by valiant-ibex-312 STOP at gunbc#1761 #issuecomment-4393222862.

Scope:
- Q1 naming: IntPlatform / UIntPlatform per feedback_reason_not_label
- Q2 algebra: Compose<Int, MachineWidth<Platform>> + Compose<UInt, MachineWidth<Platform>>; Platform is substrate token
- Q3 substrate-concept layer (target-agnostic per feedback_target_agnostic_ir)
- Q4 worker pin: valiant-ibex-312 post-PR-#1914 close (freshest substrate context)

Brief covers Platform substrate token + IntPlatform/UIntPlatform declarations + spec/rust.dag isize/usize row population + co-receipt advancing PR #1914's rust_primitive_full_coverage gate PARTIAL → CONSUMER_LANDED.

Closure gate: int_platform_uint_platform_substrate_landed.

Dispatchable post-PR-#1914 close per pre-authored-brief-queue discipline.

* fix(briefs): retire INVARIANTS.md line-number cites in r3-426 brief

Per codex review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cde): the new briefs
introduced fresh `INVARIANTS.md:<line>` citations — the same
stale-line-anchor shape the :425 sweep brief itself names as needing
dissolution. Replaces four line-number references in
r3-426-sfp-subdoc-rename-and-author-worker.md (lines 16, 28, 58, 85)
with prose-anchored locators citing the section anchor + bullet text.

The other PB-lane briefs codex flagged (r3-pb-runtime-equivalence-
corpus-seed-audit.md, r3-pb-t-fixedpoint-worker.md) belong to
neat-bear-351's lane and are not in this PR's scope; will route
separately.

* fix(briefs): correct L6 type count + r3-435 dual-path retirement receipt

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 (sha c2512cde):

1. L6 brief said acceptance ratchet asserts "five types" exist but
   declares six (ShapeATarget, FormAxis, BehaviorAxis,
   MethodTemplateContractKey, EmissionCell, EmissionPathProjection).
   Updated both occurrences to enumerate all six explicitly.

2. r3-435 brief authorized both Path A (typed-AST reader, deletes
   IntegrationRsScan) and Path B (scanner widening with Char state),
   but retirement receipt language only covered Path B. Updated
   ROADMAP/ledger retirement and authority-audit step 5 to cover
   both authorized dissolution paths.

* fix(briefs): L6 second 'five types' site + T-E-P lookup-gate authority

Per cursor review on PR #1782 (sha 2072b986):

1. L6 brief acceptance bullet at :131 still said "five types" while
   the parenthetical and the Slice step at :117 said six. The prior
   fix only caught one of two sites; corrected the second.

2. T-E-P brief `e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative` acceptance
   named only `lower_call_pattern` as "the only route from call
   site to LoweringTarget" — but Phase 2 explicitly requires
   lenses route through `per_call_pattern_at` (the L-7 single-
   authority lookup), NOT `lower_call_pattern` (compiler-internal).
   Acceptance text rewritten to name `per_call_pattern_at` as the
   consumer-facing gate and clarify `lower_call_pattern`'s
   internal-only scope.

* fix(briefs): strengthen L6 ratchet from count-parity to per-row bijection

Per openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1782 (sha 2072b986): the L6
acceptance ratchet asserted only row-count parity between
emission_path_projections and the union of MethodTemplateContract
rows. Count parity permits duplicate projection keys and missing
source rows — the bridge from list-non-empty proxy to per-row
projection would not be mechanically proven. The whole point of
introducing MethodTemplateContractKey { target, dag_method } is to
provide 1:1 row identity.

Rewrites the ratchet to assert per-row bijection: every
MethodTemplateContract source row has exactly one matching
EmissionPathProjection row by key; every projection key resolves
to exactly one source row; duplicate projection keys fail closed.

(The other openai-pro BLOCKING finding — T-E-P
e_p_call_pattern_lookup_authoritative naming the wrong authority
— was already fixed at 6282a0704; the review citation was against
the pre-fix sha 2072b986.)

* fix(briefs): split L6 ratchet into slice-active vs deferred-activation gates

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at d92459423: the prior
bijection ratchet was unsatisfiable as authored. The
*_method_template_contracts lists at HEAD (rust/python/go) are
non-empty; shipping emission_path_projections: [] alongside a
strict bijection requirement means the bijection cannot pass when
the slice lands — source rows would be uncovered. Prior text
incorrectly said "vacuously true on the empty source set" — the
SOURCE set isn't empty, only the projection set is.

Splits the ratchet into two gate categories:
- Slice-active gates: types/data shape exist + empty-state
  predicate (emission_path_projections == []).
- Deferred-activation gate: per-row key bijection, authored as a
  test scaffold by this slice but #[ignore]'d (or feature-gated
  on len > 0) until Grounding's follow-up populates rows. On
  activation, asserts the bijection over the populated set.

This honors P1 doc faithfulness: the slice's acceptance contract
is satisfiable as authored, and the bijection becomes the
load-bearing gate the row-population PR satisfies.

* fix(briefs): require L6 bootstrap enrollment to honor P2 facts-flow-forward

Per BLOCKING inline review on PR #1782 at L6:34: the slice authored
src/v3/std/cross_target_coverage.dag but never required enrolling
it in the bootstrap/load authority. Without enrollment the file
is dead-letter on disk and EmissionPathProjection can be absent
from the downstream Dag — silent P2 facts-flow-forward violation.

Adds a new Slice step 2 requiring a cross_target_coverage field
on BootstrapFixtures in src/v3/std/extdeps_bootstrap_fixtures.dag
mirroring the *_method_template_contracts enrollment pattern, plus
a loader-visibility ratchet. Renumbers subsequent Slice steps.
Adds matching Acceptance bullet.

* docs(briefs): normalize Practice 4 citation in S3 brief per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 (sha 2614217e) flagged stale citation
"Practice 4 (Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist)" in
S3 brief — no such checklist step exists in the pinned rubric.

Live rule per docs/modeling-discipline.md:131-134 is the "What to
check" checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution). Updated the S3 reference to cite that line directly
and drop the stale "Step 4 of type-introduction checklist" wording.

S2/S8/S9 already use bare "Practice 4" without the stale steps wording.
S1 (committed earlier today) does not contain the stale phrase.
S6 (pre-existing brief flagged by reviewer as carrying the same
pattern) is out of this branch's scope; flag for separate paydown.

* docs(briefs): sweep stale Practice 4 citations corpus-wide

Codex review on PR #1782 flagged the stale "Step 4 of the
type-introduction checklist" wording — no such checklist exists in
docs/modeling-discipline.md. The live rule is the "What to check"
checkpoint-comment requirement under Practice 4 (coproduct
dissolution) at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131.

Sweep across docs/ found 2 additional briefs carrying the stale
phrasing (S3 fixed previously at 9db003d40):

- docs/briefs/r3-l6-emission-path-projection-substrate-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-x1b-s1-transform-dispatch-substrate-worker.md

Both updated to cite the live rule directly. Verified zero
remaining "type-introduction checklist" or "Step 4 of the"
references in docs/ tree.

* docs(briefs): add Practice 4 citation discipline note to authoring checklist

Per parent inbox status flag at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385346221:
add a Citation discipline section to brief-authoring-checklist.md
naming the correct shape — Practice 4 (coproduct dissolution) +
"What to check" rule at docs/modeling-discipline.md:131 — and
calling out the stale "Step 4 of the type-introduction checklist"
phrasing as a failure mode. References the corpus sweep at
2dc92f34f.

Prevents future briefs that copy old templates from re-introducing
the stale citation pattern.

* docs(r3): cascade work post-Director ratification — S1 worker, R4 routing, Unit/Quantity canvas

Per Director ratification at gunbc#828 inbox response 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812):

1. S1 Q1+Q2 RATIFIED → author S1 gap-test representative worker brief
   (`r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md`). Dispatchable
   on T-E-P Phase 1 + E6-G0d landing; closes ledger row #61.

2. S2 Q2 RATIFIED (option-(b) T-LBP narrowing) + S3 + S8 deferrals →
   R4 carve-out routing ledger (`docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md`).
   Captures C1 (parallelism lens), C2 (effect_enum lens), C3
   (register narrowing), C4 (deferred MachineConstraint axes),
   C5 (rounding-mode product extension), C6 (Unit/Quantity).
   Cascade messages to Verification / Grounding / Debt-Paydown Mgrs.

3. S9 Phase-3 dimensional refinement boundary → Unit/Quantity carrier
   canvas (`r3-substrate-s9-unit-quantity-carrier-canvas.md`).
   Surfaces Q-Unit-1..5 for Director ratification: carrier name,
   2-axis vs 3-axis Phase-1, Duration/Seconds collapse, Refined
   composition order, Practice 4 classification.

Updates §1.8 ledger receipts for carved items; R3 closure receipts
treat carved items as explicitly-deferred (not drift).

* docs(briefs): citation-discipline fix-forward — anchors/quotes, not line numbers

Director redirect at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... noted the citation
paydown's replacement form (`docs/modeling-discipline.md:131`) is the
same drift class as the original fabricated-step error. Bare line
numbers shift silently on any doc edit above the cited line.

Generalized fix:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md "Citation discipline" section
  rewritten to prohibit bare line-numbers across ALL cross-doc
  references (modeling-discipline.md, r3-program-plan.md,
  r3-structure.md, INVARIANTS.md, MODELING.md, etc.). Use section
  anchors (#section-name) or rule-text quotes.
- 3 briefs that swapped in :131 (S3, S6, X1B) re-converted:
  - docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution anchor
  - "What to check" rule quoted inline (self-contained)

Brief-authoring-checklist failure-mode section names both vectors
(fabricated step + bare line numbers) and references both sweep
commits in audit trail.

Broader cross-doc citation sweep across briefs I authored on this
branch (frontmatter authority-docs lists, body prose) is recommended
per Director note — flagging as separate paydown task; this commit
closes the immediate recurrence vector.

* docs(briefs): fix unfaithful Int=AbelianGroup<Nat> + sweep stale 'Step 4' refs

Per openai-pro review on PR #1782 sha 0ecd4818 (gunbc#1782 #...):

BLOCKING fix (P1 modeling faithfulness):
- S9 + S3 directed workers to model `Int = AbelianGroup<Nat>`,
  but Nat is not an Abelian-group carrier (additive inverses
  not representable). Reframed:
  - `Int` is the additive Abelian group on integers (carrier Z);
    `Nat` is a commutative monoid under addition.
  - Algebraic relationship is **explicit group-completion**:
    `Int ≡ GroupCompletion<CommutativeMonoid<Nat>>` — NOT
    `AbelianGroup<Nat>` parameterization.
  - Worker either models `Int` directly as `AbelianGroup`
    (terminal Abelian-group instance) OR introduces explicit
    `GroupCompletion<M>` substrate carrier; decision lands in
    Phase-1 PR per P1 procedure.
- S3 cross-reference + Phase-4 algebra-axis preservation note
  reframed accordingly.

NON-BLOCKING in-PR cleanup (Practice 4 citation discipline):
- 6 briefs still carrying stale 'Practice 4 Step 4' wording
  (r3-coproduct-1/2/3, r3-l6, r3-t-e-p, r3-x1b) updated to use
  the section anchor (`docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution`)
  + inline rule-text quote ("What to check") form per the
  citation discipline established in `b4cae5299`.

Closes both findings from openai-pro review.

* docs(briefs): Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED — apply Scale.Unit→One rename + ratification banner

Director ratified Q-Unit-1..5 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06
(zesty-bear-812). All 5 questions ratified; one rename required:

- Scale enum's `Unit` value collides with outer `Unit<Q, S>` carrier
  name (`Unit<Time, Unit>` is shadowing-confusing). Rename to `One`.
- Duration ≡ Unit<Time, One> (collapses with Seconds per Q-Unit-3).
- Milliseconds ≡ Unit<Time, Milli>.

Canvas updated:
- Top-level RATIFICATION banner records all 5 ratifications + rename
- Scale enum: `Unit` → `One` (with inline rename receipt)
- Sketch product expansions use `Unit<Time, One>` / `Unit<Time, Milli>`
- Phase-3 reframe table products updated
- Q-Unit-3 prose collapse reference updated

Subsequent worker brief authoring (Unit/Quantity carrier landing
post-prerequisite) inherits the renamed shape.

* docs(briefs): Unit/Quantity carrier worker brief — Q-Unit-1..5 RATIFIED

Worker brief consumes the ratified Unit/Quantity canvas
(`5f22fd06e` ratification banner). Phase-1 lands `Unit<Q, S>` +
`Quantity` + `Scale` declarations at the ratified shape (Scale's
`One` value per Q-Unit-1 rename). Phase-2 reframes S9 Phase-3
dimensional refinements (Duration / Seconds / Milliseconds) to
outer-Refined / inner-Unit composition per Q-Unit-4 RATIFIED.
EpochMs deferred to R4 C6 (Aspect-axis follow-up).

Practice 4 marks pre-determined per Q-Unit-5: `Unit<Q, S>` 🟢
PRIMITIVE; `Quantity` + `Scale` 🟡 SCAFFOLD with "consumed by ≥1
emission rule" dissolution trigger.

Cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for dimensional
emission consumption documented.

Worker pin TBD — dispatchable when idle pool refreshes.

* docs(briefs): S9 Phase-1 reframed — Int landed at #1466; UInt-only migration

Per proud-lynx-311 dispatch ack at gunbc#1739 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: re-grep at HEAD revealed substrate state diverges
materially from S9 brief's "Option A vs B decide" framing.

Reality check at HEAD:
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:55` already carries
  `type Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>>` per Slice 3 PR
  #1466 / commit `4ba0a6d04`. Single-authority Q6 audit doc at
  `docs/audit/t-numeric-construction-group-completion-6q.md`
  ratified this shape and explicitly rejected the compact form.
- `dsl/std/integer.dag:56` still on legacy `type UInt = UInt64`
  alias; UInt migration is the actual Phase-1 worker scope.

Brief Phase-1 step 1 reframed: Int landing acknowledged; worker
confirms HEAD match. Phase-1 step 2 reframed: UInt migration
target named (`type UInt = CommutativeMonoid<Nat>`); fixed-width
rows preserved per existing legacy-rows policy.

Historical Option A vs B framing kept as note (superseded).

Confirmed S9 dispatch ack from worker; UInt-only Phase-1 PR is
in-scope. Emission entries deferred per S3 (valiant-ant-72
pre-landing); Phase-2 deferred per S8 (quiet-boar-160 pre-landing).

* docs(briefs): fix two BLOCKING citation drift items per codex review

Codex review on PR #1782 sha 5f22fd06 flagged two authority-receipt
gaps:

1. brief-authoring-checklist.md:118 — `<this-commit>` placeholder in
   the failure-mode section was unverifiable post-merge. Replaced
   with `b4cae5299` (the actual anchor/quote conversion commit).

2. r3-378-http-path-helper-fail-open-worker.md:84 — `INVARIANTS.md
   C-8 fail-closed` cited without anchor or rule-text quote, in
   violation of the citation discipline added in this PR.
   Converted to `INVARIANTS.md#p3-fail-closed` (P3 heading anchor)
   + inline rule-text quote naming P3 + C-8.

PR's own discipline now consistently applied across the diff.

* docs(briefs): sweep bare .md:NNN citations in Substrate-Mgr-authored briefs

Per Director recommendation in citation-discipline thread (gunbc#828
follow-on): bare line-number references drift silently. Swept 19
remaining instances across 5 briefs I authored on this branch:

- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-q-class-2-chain-break-gap-test-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s1-gap-test-representative-worker.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s2-t-lbp-scope-calibration-canvas.md
- docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s3-machine-constraint-carrier-worker.md

Conversion: bare `file.md:NNN` → `file.md §"Section name"` form.
Stable; survives doc edits; human-readable. Section names per
HEAD heading audit.

Verification: `grep -nE '.md:[0-9]+' docs/briefs/r3-substrate-*.md
docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md` returns zero results in
Substrate-Mgr-authored scope.

Broader corpus scope (~232 references across non-Substrate briefs)
remains as separate paydown task.

* docs(briefs): fix BLOCKING + NON-BLOCKING items per openai-pro review on a462f007

Three findings addressed; 2 BLOCKING + 1 NON-BLOCKING:

BLOCKING — R3/R4 dual authority for Unit/Quantity carrier:
R4 carve-out C6 narrowed from "Unit/Quantity carrier landing"
(deferred all of it) to **"Aspect-axis (PointKind) follow-on
for EpochMs and instant/rate-shaped refinements only"**. The
2-axis Measure<Q,S> carrier landing IS in R3 per Q-Unit-1..5
RATIFIED; only the Aspect axis (PointKind = Magnitude | Instant
| Rate) carves to R4. Cascade-message C6 reference + R4 program-
plan input list updated to match. Cross-Mgr message clarifies
Grounding consumes 2-axis dimensional refinements in R3.

BLOCKING — Locked design partially applied (Scale.Unit→One
rename in canvas alternate-sketch sections):
- Canvas line 105-108 alternate sketch ("Open question: Instant
  vs Duration axis") still used pre-rename `Unit` Scale value;
  added pre-ratification disclaimer marking the section as
  deferred to R4 C6 + noting `Unit` is pre-rename
- Canvas line 163 Q-Unit-3 collapse note: `Scale = Unit` → `Scale = One`

(BLOCKING — bare line-numbers in S1 canvas frontmatter): NOT
APPLICABLE — already fixed at sweep commit 127287a66 prior to
review; reviewer was on sha a462f007 pre-sweep.

NON-BLOCKING — placeholder receipts:
- brief-authoring-checklist.md `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385393971 (Director's anchor-discipline reply)
- r3-substrate-unit-quantity-carrier-worker.md (3 occurrences)
  + canvas RATIFICATION banner: `#issuecomment-...` → concrete ID
  4385412256 (Q-Unit ratification reply)
- `<this-commit>` placeholder in checklist already fixed at 5be1c99f2

Verification: zero `#issuecomment-...` or `<this-commit>` placeholders
in docs/briefs/ + docs/r4-carve-out-routing.md.

* docs(briefs): codex BLOCKING review fixes — Practice 4 source-level + policy scope

Three BLOCKING findings on PR #1782 (codex sha b913e2f4):

1. **Citation-discipline policy scope**: addressed by scoping
   the rule prospectively to briefs landing after the policy
   commit (`b4cae5299`). Pre-existing corpus references are
   flagged as paydown but NOT individually blocking; coordinated
   single-PR sweep is the right paydown shape. Substrate-Mgr scope
   already swept at `127287a66`.

2. **R4 C6 reconciliation**: already fixed at `6e5a5481a` (R4 C6
   narrowed to Aspect-axis follow-on for EpochMs only; 2-axis
   carrier landing IS in R3). Codex sha b913e2f4 was pre-fix.

3. **Practice 4 source-level vs PR-body conflation**: corrected.
   Acceptance bullet for Unit/Quantity worker brief now requires
   inline checkpoint comments on the LIVE declarations in
   `dsl/std/units.dag` (load-bearing artifact per
   `docs/modeling-discipline.md#4-coproduct-dissolution` "What to
   check"). PR-body summary is supplementary, not substitute.

Closes the review's reconciliation gates.

* docs(briefs): absorb Q-MachineConstraint + Q-Unit-1-Recanvas ratifications

Two major Director ratifications absorbed:

1. Q-MachineConstraint-Carrier RATIFIED at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385530115 (Brian directive 2026-05-06: "universal
   substrate, ratify defaults"; PR #1817 queued). 6 sub-decisions:
   - MachineWidth<bits> only for R3; defer RegisterClass / EndianMode
     / Alignment / signedness post-R3
   - Parametric Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint> type-level
     interaction shape (lookup-maps REJECTED — AlgebraMachineProduct
     record-keyed table form retracted)
   - Int<64> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> (algebra-side
     options A and B preserve interaction semantics)
   - Real<64> ≡ Compose<ApproximateField<Rational>, MachineWidth<64>>
     (algebra approx + machine approx as independent composing axes)
   - ≥3 pairs is minimum, not target
   - UNIVERSAL substrate: every target carries machine-constraint
     facts; targets without native machine-width semantics handle
     omission at Grounding-level discharge (target-conditioned
     lowering NOT target-conditioned substrate)

   Reframed: S3 brief Phase-1, S3 Phase-3/4 emission entries,
   S8 Phase-1/2/3 (ApproximateField<Real> → ApproximateField<Rational>;
   AlgebraMachineProduct → Compose<...>), S9 emission entries.

2. Q-Unit-1-Recanvas RATIFIED Measure<Q, S> at gunbc#828
   #issuecomment-4385539791. valiant-ibex-312's substrate-state
   grep caught Unit<Q, S> collision with kernel Unit at
   dsl/std/types.dag:176; Director ratified Measure<Q, S> as
   outer carrier name (conventional in scientific computing;
   no dsl/std/ collision).

   Reframed: Unit/Quantity worker brief throughout (Unit<Q,S> →
   Measure<Q,S>; dsl/std/units.dag → dsl/std/measure.dag); canvas
   spec sections + sketch products (Refined<Measure<Time, ...>...>);
   R4 carve-out C6 with informal/formal name disambiguation note.

Both rename + reshape are now consistent across S3 / S8 / S9 /

* docs(briefs): S11 Slice C worker brief — ROADMAP :425 retirement post-#1801

Cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1801 (Slice B) merge
2026-05-06. S11 brief authored per B1 RATIFIED prose+regen
bundling discipline.

Phase 1: per-file edits across the post-A+B residual list (~10
files per smart-ram-167's Slice B post-rebase enumeration);
anchor + rule-text-quote pattern per current citation discipline;
bootstrap regen in same PR (no split).

Phase 2: ROADMAP :425 row PARTIAL → Retired with 3-slice receipt;
Q-Slice-C-Retirement-Receipt resolution.

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice B precedent owner.
Dispatch packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED — defer literal Refined form

Director ratified option (c) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-... 2026-05-06:
drop `non_negative` predicate at Measure (phantom) layer; rely on
`Quantity = Time` tagging for non-negative-magnitude semantics.

Q-Unit-4 outer-Refined / inner-Measure composition is preserved as
**conceptual model**; the literal `Refined<Measure<...>, predicate>`
form is **deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up** when
substrate gains Refined<> as first-class type expression and
dimensional refinements get value-typed integration.

Updates:
- Canvas RATIFICATION banner Q-Unit-4 row reframed to "conceptual
  model; literal form deferred"
- Canvas Phase-3 reframe table: Duration / Milliseconds drop the
  Refined<...> wrapper; rely on Quantity tag
- Worker brief Phase-2 prose + reframe table + Acceptance bullet
  all reflect deferred-literal-form posture

valiant-ibex-312 unblocked to proceed with Phase-2 (Grounding
handoff doc) per the (c)-shaped Acceptance.

* docs(briefs): S12 F2 + F8 doc-sharpening worker brief — post-#1820 cascade

#1820 (Slice C) merged 2026-05-06; ROADMAP :425 row Retired closes
the prose-reference paydown program. S12 cascade-clearance trigger
fires per B6 RATIFIED single bundled Mgr-tier doc-sharpening PR.

Scope: F2 (.v3 filename-suffix grammar dispatch) + F8 (bootstrap
load-order/exclusion authority) — single bundled PR per B6.
Cross-program coordination with PB Mgr (#1742) per design schedule
§3 P5 (comment-only OR co-author; no duplicate PR).

Worker pin smart-ram-167 (#1759) — Slice C precedent owner;
pattern-familiar with prose+regen bundling discipline. Dispatch
packet sent separately to #1759.

* docs(briefs): S9 brief — UInt landed via #1818; algebra label corrected to CommutativeSemiring

Per proud-lynx-311 merge report at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-...
2026-05-06: PR #1818 landed `type UInt = Nat` after codex BLOCKING
review on initial `CommutativeMonoid<Nat>` form (P2 facts-flow-forward
violation — wrap projects out Nat's multiplicative monoid + identity 1).

Final landed form preserves full `CommutativeSemiring<Magnitude>`
surface — Nat IS a commutative semiring (addition + multiplication
+ 0 + 1). Algebra-side label for UInt is CommutativeSemiring, NOT
CommutativeMonoid (corrects my earlier dispatch labeling).

S9 Phase-1 step 2 marked LANDED with merge ref. Phase-1 step 3
emission entries reframed:
- Int<N> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<N>>
- UInt<N> ≡ Compose<CommutativeSemiring, MachineWidth<N>>

Worker discipline + reviewer caught a substrate-state error in my
brief framing; brief now matches landed reality.

* docs(briefs): fix contradictory (c) guidance in Unit/Quantity worker brief

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 1bce0418 caught a real
contradiction: brief Phase-2 prose at lines 115-118 stated
"predicates do NOT attach at the Measure (phantom) layer" per
Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) RATIFIED, but immediately
following paragraph at lines 130-132 still said "Refined predicate
non_negative applies at the Measure-typed level" — left over from
the original Q-Unit-4 framing.

Updated lines 130-137 to consistently apply (c) shape: predicates
deferred to value-typed-integration follow-up; dimensional semantics
ride on Quantity tag at Measure layer; worker authors 3 in-scope
refinements WITHOUT predicate at this layer.

P2 boundary discipline restored: brief now gives single-authority
guidance for Phase-2 substrate landing.

* docs(briefs): name predicate authority + concretize ratification ID — codex BLOCKING

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1825 sha 32541a56:

1. (BLOCKING) Q-Refined-Phantom-Composition (c) ratification deferred
   phantom-carrier predicates without naming the value-level predicate
   authority. Updated canvas Q-Unit-4 RATIFICATION row to explicitly
   name: 'predicates re-attach at value-typed Int/UInt level via
   where-sugar (e.g., range(min: 0) per current dsl/std/types.dag
   precedent)' when value-typed integration lands.

2. (BLOCKING) Worker brief option-c reframe didn't sweep the audit
   receipt §5 (Carrier dissolves the bridge). Updated to consistently
   apply (c) shape — dimensional semantics ride on Quantity tag at
   Measure layer; value-level predicate authority deferred; until
   then, range/gt_zero constraints attach at value-typed Int/UInt
   via where-sugar per dsl/std/types.dag convention.

3. (NON-BLOCKING) Canvas had #issuecomment-... placeholder for the
   (c) ratification message ID. Replaced with concrete
   #issuecomment-4385687075 per dashboard relay header.

Brief now names a single value-level authority (Int/UInt where-sugar)
for value-range facts; phantom-layer Quantity tag carries only
dimensional semantics. P2 boundary discipline maintained.

* docs(briefs): S12 RETIRED per Director option (2) ratification

Director ratified option (2) at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385873...
2026-05-06 post smart-ram-167's substrate-state STOP-AND-ESCALATE:

- F2 absorbed by 2026-05-04 routing + #1662 closure
  (`Result/DivError span.file-keyed` retired)
- F8 topical concerns distributed across live rows
  (Class 5 Gap 3 `bootstrap.rs::std_fixtures()`; Character-level
  load-set / bootstrap; Filename-sentinel-bridges) with own owners
- Doc-discipline goals absorbed by per-Mgr citation paydown
  routing at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4385583247

Frontmatter updated to RETIRED with absorption receipt. Worker
(smart-ram-167) pin freed.

Director-side acknowledgment of Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation:
"Substrate Mgr's option (2) recommendation is the right move
structurally. Most Mgrs default to 'synthesize work to fill the brief'
when canvas-vs-HEAD mismatch surfaces. Recommending retirement when
the work is genuinely absorbed is harder discipline."

* docs(briefs): S7 PR-F (BoundDeclaration consumer + ReferenceModel<T>) worker brief

Per cascade-clearance trigger fired post-#1782 merge 2026-05-06.
loyal-wolf-828 (#1764) acknowledged S7 dispatch with substrate-state
pre-flight grep (gunbc#1764 #issuecomment-4385872...) and surfaced
await-brief posture. This brief satisfies that prerequisite.

Worker pre-flight inventory absorbed:
- BoundDeclaration substrate landed (substrate.dag StaticBound +
  PlatformDependent); partial BoundDeclarationView consumer in
  fold.rs (ScratchIntExamples scope; doc-explicit partial)
- ReferenceModel<T> NOT yet in dsl/std/ (substrate-fact-introduction
  required; design-emission-model.md §Q2 framing)

Phase-1: BoundDeclaration consumer broadening to full
design-emission-model.md surface (u128 / isize / usize / walker
arms / pilot mirror).

Phase-2: ReferenceModel<T> P1 substrate-fact-introduction with
DFS-of-concept-DAG + Practice 4 in-source checkpoint comment +
named consumer demand (Grounding G1).

Phase-3: cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for
G1 (T-Ground-Rust Phase 1).

Closure predicate: unblocks Grounding T-Ground-Rust Phase 1.
Worker pin loyal-wolf-828 holds; dispatch fires immediately
on this brief landing.

* docs(briefs): S9 Slice 2.5 — predicate-registry + PB-1 shim retirement (Path 3 RATIFIED)

Director ratified Path 3 at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4390333451
post proud-lynx-311's pre-flight DFS at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-4390253616.

Brief reframes Slice 2.5 from S-sized (primitive + 1 consumer) to
L-sized (predicate registry + PB-1 shim retirement). 5 deliverables:
1. gt_zero primitive predicate
2. Predicate registry infrastructure (resolver-side substrate-fact-introduction)
3. PB-1 shim retirement (span.file=='dsl/std/types.dag' special case dissolves)
4. Migration of existing types.dag predicates (range, pattern, etc.)
5. PositiveInt = Refined<Nat, gt_zero> consumer update

Per Director hard scope bars: no parallel predicate-resolution path;
no per-call-site special-casing; PB-1 shim retirement non-negotiable
in same slice. Single PR per Path 3 RATIFIED.

Discipline anchors: feedback_construction_over_ratchets (PB-1 shim
is bridge); feedback_dissolve_bridges (registry is structural fix);
feedback_no_textual_enforcement_bridges (file-path special-case is
anti-pattern shape); P1 substrate-fact-introduction procedure.

Worker pin proud-lynx-311 — Director pre-cleared on pre-flight DFS
context. PR #1840 (partial Slice 2 — NonNegativeInt = Nat) MERGED
at 16:54Z; Slice 2.5 dispatchable immediately on this brief landing.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 audit receipt — Mgr independent grep parallel-verifies worker DFS

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1845 sha 2d230949 flagged: external PR
receipt absorbed as live substrate state without re-grepping local
std declarations at brief authoring time. Authority receipt §1
cited proud-lynx-311's pre-flight DFS as authority but didn't
record Mgr-side independent verification.

Updated audit receipt §1 + §4 to record Mgr's independent grep at
HEAD as parallel verification:
- gt_zero zero matches in dsl/std/ + src/v3/ (verified)
- NonNegativeInt = Nat at dsl/std/integer.dag:133 (#1840 land)
- PositiveInt = Int where range(min: 1) at dsl/std/types.dag:255
- PB-1 shim doc-block confirms bridge-text framing
- Predicate registry confirmed not present

Worker DFS remains the dispatch-time discipline (substrate-state
grep at dispatch); Mgr's independent grep is parallel verification,
not substitute. Per Director's pattern note at gunbc#828
#issuecomment-4390199218 + #issuecomment-4390333451: dispatch-packet
authoring discipline includes Mgr-side substrate-state-grep, not
just relay of worker findings.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Int extensibility scope-bound; lower.rs cites anchored

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1845 sha 2d230949 flagged 2 issues:

BLOCKING — P1 modeling faithfulness / substrate scope leak:
`gt_zero` Int-side extensibility was left to 'worker judgment if
generalization cheap'. Per feedback_construction_over_ratchets:
don't speculatively extend predicate-carrier compatibility ahead
of named consumer demand. Reframed to **EXPLICITLY OUT-OF-SCOPE**
for Slice 2.5; Nat-only registration. Future Int-side consumer
surfaces as separate substrate-fact-introduction (P1 procedure)
brief with own consumer-demand receipt.

NON-BLOCKING — citation discipline self-violation:
3 instances of bare `lower.rs:821-835` line-range citations
contradict the brief's own 'no bare :NNN' requirement at line 211.
Converted to function-name anchored form:
`src/v3/compiler/src/lower.rs` (`lower_type_alias_refinements_phase` doc-block).

Both findings absorbed; no parallel scope ambiguity remains;
brief now self-consistent on citation discipline.

* WIP: R3 Substrate

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — audit-receipt cites converted to declaration-name anchors

cursor APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS on PR #1845 sha ebf6ac12 noted citation

Converted to declaration-name-anchored form:
- 'declaration named NonNegativeInt' (with reproducible grep command)
- 'declaration named PositiveInt' (with reproducible grep command)

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Path (a) RATIFIED carrier+argument contract verification

Director Path (a) RATIFIED at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4390760353
(triage) + #issuecomment-4390794121 (convergence ack):
predicate-body lowering with carrier+argument contract
verification at lower-time IN SAME SLICE. Placeholder semantics
REMOVED from registry path.

Codex REQUEST_CHANGES surfaced that registered-predicate-without-
contract = silent acceptance per feedback_fail_closed_discipline.
Brief reframe absorbs Path (a):

Hard scope bar #5 added:
- Same-slice carrier+argument-contract verification
- Mismatched carrier OR malformed argument → Diagnostic::ResolveError
- No 'named but not checked' path remains

Scope expansion section added (L → XL):
- Predicate-body lowering for all 7 registered predicates
- Per-predicate arg-shape validation
- Multi-session work acknowledged
- Carrier-check at 788d6acb4 retained; predicate-body builds on top

Acceptance bullets updated: gt_zero with arg-shape validation +
all 7 predicates with carrier+argument contract verification.

Director-pinned brief-authoring discipline: dissolution trigger
named in a brief authored as substrate-fact-introduction must
specify same-slice acceptance, not deferred follow-up. Otherwise
the brief encodes 'land bridge + defer dissolution' anti-pattern,
the same shape feedback_construction_over_ratchets warns against
at implementation layer applied at brief authoring layer.

This is the 11th miss this session — but the pattern surfacing it
(direct sweep + Codex REQUEST_CHANGES + Director ratification)
produces structural fixes that prevent the next miss class. Brief
revision is the structural recovery.

* docs(briefs): Slice 2.5 brief — Path 2 RATIFIED (Gap 1 discharge + Q-Regex carve-out)

Director Path 2 RATIFIED at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4391985613
post Rung 3 STOP at gunbc#1746 #issuecomment-4391946213.

Path 2 narrowing of Path (a):
- gt_zero + range body synthesis already landed (5f3c40c3a)
- Gap 1 discharge mechanism: extends scalar-literal predicate
  evaluation at lower-time. L-class; lands SAME SLICE per
  same-slice-dissolution discipline
- non_empty + brand body synthesis: lands via Gap 1 discharge
- pattern / format / content: fail-closed-with-named-dep at
  user-code authoring layer (Diagnostic::ResolveError naming
  Q-Regex-Primitive). NOT placeholder; structural rejection
- PB-1 shim FULLY RETIRED per hard scope bar #3
- Q-Regex-Primitive carved as follow-on substrate-fact-introduction
  (XL substrate; not pre-authored per feedback_construction_over_ratchets)

Acceptance updated:
- 4 of 7 body-synthesized in same slice
- 3 of 7 fail-closed-with-named-dep (no placeholder semantics)
- Gap 1 discharge mechanism landed (no partial implementation)

Worker disposition: proud-lynx-311 continues Rung 3 with Gap 1
implementation + non_empty/brand body synthesis + pattern/format/
content fail-closed-with-named-dep diagnostic.

* docs(briefs): S9 Phase-1 Step 3 emission entries — Tier-1 brief authoring (1/5)

First Tier-1 brief landing post Director auto-nudge on assignment
#1858. Authored against Q-MachineConstraint sub-decisions ratified

- Int<N> ≡ Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<N>> → Rust i32/i64/i128
- UInt<N> ≡ Compose<CommutativeSemiring, MachineWidth<N>> → Rust u32/u64/u128
- 6 concrete instantiations (≥3 minimum per sub-decision 5)
- Cross-program handoff to Grounding Mgr (#1745) for G2 emission consumption
- numeric_construction_demonstration Acceptance bullet (Int<32> round-trip);
  Real<64> half deferred to S9 Phase 2 / S8 Float cascade

Brief authored with substrate-state-grep discipline + same-slice-
dissolution discipline (no deferred trigger; demonstration in same
slice or explicitly carved). 5-question authority audit completed
in brief body.

Worker pin proud-lynx-311 (S9 holds); brief queues post-Slice-2.5
completion as natural follow-on.

Tier-1 brief queue progress:
- 1/5 authored (this brief)
- 4 remaining: S9 Phase-2 Float coordination; T-LBP complexity
  cementing; T-LBP cost cementing; S3 Phase-2 parser-grammar

* docs(briefs): S3 Phase-2 parser-grammar surface — Tier-1 brief 2/5

Authored per Director freed-pool pressure at gunbc#828
#issuecomment-4392095857 + Tier-1 brief-queue commitment.

Brief covers parser-grammar surface for Compose<Algebra, MachineConstraint>
interaction syntax post-#1856 (Phase-1 carrier slice landed):

- Phase 2.1: Parser surface per ratified Q-MachineConstraint-Grammar-Shape
- Phase 2.2: Bootstrap demonstrator with >=3 algebra*machine-axis pairs
- Phase 2.3: Class 1 5-criteria Pass receipt (criteria 1-4; criterion 5
  v2-oracle parity may carve)
- Phase 2.4: numeric_construction_demonstration co-receipt with S9 Phase-1
  Step 3 emission entries brief

Director ratification HOLDS on grammar bikeshed:
- Candidate A: Int @ Width<32> (annotation form)
- Candidate B: Int with MachineWidth<32> (with-form)
- Candidate C: Int<32> (positional generic — fits existing convention)
- Candidate D: Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<32>> (no parser change;
  type aliases provide convenience names)

Worker pin valiant-ant-72 holds (S3 Phase-1 precedent owner); freed-pool
until Director ratifies grammar shape.

Tier-1 brief queue progress: 2/5 authored (this brief + S9 Phase-1 Step 3).
Remaining: S9 Phase-2 Float coordination; T-LBP complexity cementing;
T-LBP cost cementing.

* docs(briefs): S3 Phase-2 brief — fix internal contradiction on Class 1 closure scope

Codex BLOCKING review on PR #1889 sha ec609b4a flagged real
contradiction:

- Provenance section claimed '5-criteria Pass closed' (line 229)
- Phase 2.3 said 'criterion 5 may queue separately' (line 154)
- STOP-AND-ESCALATE bullet 1 ratified 4-of-5 carve-out (line 181)

Updated Provenance to consistently state criteria 1-4 close in this
slice; criterion 5 (v2-oracle parity) cementing test may carve to
separate slice. Single 4-of-5 framing throughout. INVARIANTS.md
'Documentation Describes Live State' satisfied.

Per feedback_construction_over_ratchets: don't claim closure that
isn't structurally complete. 4-of-5 + named carve is the honest
shape; 5/5 only on cementing-test land.

- 4 predicates body-synthesize via Gap 1 (gt_zero / range / non_empty
  / brand)
- pattern / format / content STRUCTURALLY ABSENT from registry (not
  pending-with-placeholder); user-code where-clause produces
  Diagnostic::ResolveError naming Q-Regex-Primitive as separate
  substrate-fact-introduction follow-on
- ~12 types.dag refined-type declarations migrate to drop
  pattern/format/content where-clauses with inline-comment receipts
  pointing to Q-Regex restoration path; 1 extdep (sts_endpoint)
  adapts as needed
- PB-1 shim FULLY RETIRED — no exception, no preserved branch
- Q-Regex-Primitive as separate brief / worker pin / Director

inline &str template names; rules not enumerable). Mgr recommends
parallel-dispatch with Q1 deliberation — satisfies Brian's ASAP

* briefs: reconcile Compose<...> slot-1 spellings to algebraic-concept names per Q-MC sub-decision 3

Address cursor NON-BLOCKING on PR #1889 sha 2b49b30f: S3 Phase-2
brief mixed Compose<AbelianGroup, ...> with Compose<Int, ...>; S9
Phase-1 Step 3 used Compose<AbelianGroup, ...> + Compose<CommutativeSemiring,
...>; S9 Phase-2 used Compose<ApproximateField<Real>, ...>. All wrong
per Q-MC sub-decision 3 critical correction at gunbc#828
#issuecomment-4385530115:

  "prior phrasing Compose<AbelianGroup, MachineWidth<64>> was wrong
  — AbelianGroup<T> is a witness shape over carrier T, not a carrier
  constructor; bare AbelianGroup in slot-1 composes witness rather
  than concept."

Slot-1 is the fully-applied algebraic-concept name:
- Int<N>  = Compose<Int,  MachineWidth<N>>   (Int = AbelianGroup<GroupCompletion<Nat>>)
- UInt<N> = Compose<UInt, MachineWidth<N>>   (UInt = CommutativeSemiring<Nat>)
- Real<N> = Compose<Real, MachineWidth<N>>   (Real = ApproximateField<Rational>)

Phase-2 Float brief also retargets user-facing surface from Float<N>
to Real<N> (Float is target-language name for the Rust primitive;
Real is the algebraic-concept name per Q-MC sub-decision 3 example).

* s9-p1-s3 brief: scope Deliverable 4 to producer-side verification (defer demonstration to Grounding G2)

Address Codex BLOCKING (line 82 inline + bundled review): brief
claimed end-to-end Int<32> → Rust i32 round-trip in Acceptance
while Deliverable 3 said lowering rules belong to Grounding G2
follow-on. Internal contradiction.

Reframe per Director bundled-scope discipline (gunbc#1739
#issuecomment-4392225548 — parallel infrastructure DISALLOWED
same-PR):

- Deliverable 4: producer-side substrate-axis verification only
  (type-check + carrier acceptance + bootstrap snapshot/manifest
  hold). NO end-to-end Rust emission in this PR.
- §1.8 #67 numeric_construction_demonstration receipts split:
  producer half here (entries exist), consumer half on Grounding
  G2 PR (full Int<32> → Rust i32 round-trip).
- Same-PR cross-program co-author available if Substrate Mgr
  coordinates with Grounding Mgr at dispatch; default is split.

Pre-authored per pre-authored-brief-queue discipline; dispatch fires
on Director Q2 ratification of emission-provenance canvas at
gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4392519713.

Brief covers LangSpec emission-rule names as enumerable substrate
(rust_target.rs uses inline &str template names today; 0 hits on
RuleName/FoldRule/EmitRule across src/v3/). Two carrier shape options
(α sum-type / β named-string list) with worker DFS at dispatch
deciding shape; Practice 4 checkpoint discipline + ledger-row receipt.

Prerequisite to every Q1 path (a/b/d) — Lens<EmissionProvenance>,
per-line instrumentation, and the both-substrates option all consume
the rule-name set. Path (c) leaves substrate-unblocked-but-unconsumed.

Mgr authoring authority per PM concur at gunbc#846
#issuecomment-4392510255 / #issuecomment-4392543633 (substrate-fact-

* briefs: align Practice 4 classifications to GREEN/YELLOW rubric + add GREEN ledger receipts

Address codex BLOCKING on PR #1910 sha f36e1205: briefs used
PRIMITIVE/SCAFFOLD terminology that doesn't match docs/modeling-
discipline.md rubric. Per modeling-discipline.md lines 97/103/108:
the three classifications are 🟢 GREEN (terminal) / 🟡 YELLOW
(scaffold) / 🔴 RED (dissolvable-now); line 132 requires a ledger
entry if GREEN.

Replaced PRIMITIVE → GREEN, SCAFFOLD → YELLOW across all three
emission-provenance / Rust-primitive-full-coverage briefs. Added
explicit §1.8 ledger entry receipt for the GREEN classification on
EmissionOrigin (sibling row emission_origin_classification_green to
parent emission_provenance_lens_landed gate).

Address openai-pro BLOCKING (sha f36e1205, ran post-rubric-rename):

1. EmissionOrigin GREEN terminal classification needs documented
   attempted-dissolutions per modeling-discipline.md "no richer
   source exists" framing. Added 3 attempted dissolutions:
   - collapse to optional-pair (rejected by codex Finding 1 prior)
   - factor common richer source (orthogonal payload types prevent)
   - third arm for unattributable lines (rejected per Slice 2.5
     Option 4 placeholder anti-pattern)

2. T-Rule-Enumeration β (YELLOW) scaffold needs bound per three-part
   bridge rule. Added: allowed call sites scoped to emission code only;
   max lifetime gated on rule_name_typo_fail_closed_landed graduation;
   new emission-introspection consumers MUST author against closed-sum
   α form, not β.

* WIP: R3 Substrate

* briefs: address codex BLOCKING bundle (sha 2ed1046e) — record-form provenance + emit_model carrier alignment + T-Rule-Enumeration retirement flag

Three findings addressed:

1. Lens brief (Finding #1 — provenance shape conflates source vs rule
   attribution): replaced typed-sum EmissionOrigin with record
   EmissionProvenance { rule: EmissionRule [mandatory], source_span:
   Option<SourceSpan> [optional] }. Co-inhabitance is real (e.g.,
   #[derive(Debug)] line has both rule=derive_for_disj AND span
   attribution to Foo decl). Rule-mandatory enforces fail-closed
   structurally; Practice 4 N/A (record, not coproduct).

2. T-Rule-Enumeration brief (Finding #2 — rule authority lives in
   spec/rust.dag + v3.std.emit_model, not call-site strings): brief
   status flipped to FLAGGED FOR RETIREMENT. Same finding as
   smart-ram-167 STOP at gunbc#1759 #issuecomment-4392696623; Reading
   C surfaced to Director at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4392780871.

3. Rust-primitive-full-coverage brief (Finding #3 — BoundDeclaration
   not wired into TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound row surface):
   reframed Deliverable 2 to target the actual carrier
   `v3.std.emit_model::TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound` (used by
   `TargetIntegerTypeInhabitance` rows in src/v3/spec/rust.dag lines
   169-207). Two paths surfaced: Option (i) wire BoundDeclaration into
   TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound; Option (ii) populate via existing
   variants if PlatformDependent already exists on the live carrier.
   Worker DFS at dispatch picks. Deliverable 3 retargeted to
   TargetIntegerTypeInhabitance rows (the actual surface).

* rust-primitive-full-coverage: codex inline confirms TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound has no PlatformDependent variant — Option (ii) infeasible; carrier refactor REQUIRED

Codex BLOCKING inline at PR #1910 line 65 (sha 98507c432) verified at
HEAD: TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound = BoundUnspecified | StaticBoundFact(IntInterval).
No PlatformDependent variant. Earlier brief framing of Option (ii)
(populate via existing variants) was infeasible.

Brief reframed: carrier refactor is required (not optional). Two
structural shapes for the refactor — (i.a) embed BoundDeclaration
(Mgr recommendation; single-authority discipline) vs (i.b) extend
variant set with PlatformDependent. Existing 5 rows migrate either
way; bootstrap snapshot semantic-equivalence non-negotiable.

* emission-provenance lens brief: absorb codex BLOCKING bundle (sha 4229cd09 post-merge findings)

Two findings from codex bundled review on now-merged PR #1910 sha
4229cd09 land as brief revisions for the in-flight smart-ram-167
authoring cycle (PR #1928):

1. Field-path identity threading: render_named_template call sites
   receive template values extracted from binding structs; field-path
   may not be carried alongside the value at emission time. New STOP
   trigger flags this as substrate-cascade if threading isn't
   structurally possible (typed template-with-rule-path or
   DeclarationRef carrier needed).

2. Read domain coverage gap: Lens<C>.read is per-Behavior; emitted
   output also includes declarations + program scaffold. Acceptance
   scope explicitly narrowed to Behavior-attributable lines only;
   declarations + scaffold provenance out-of-scope (separate substrate
   cascade if surfaced). Acceptance bullet retargeted to
   "Behavior-attributable span-Some + Behavior-attributable span-None"
   rather than full-emission coverage.

* rust-primitive-full-coverage: revert to Option (ii) — Mgr ratification-state-grep miss caught by valiant-ibex-312

valiant-ibex-312 ratification-state-grep at gunbc#1761
#issuecomment-4393074602 surfaced that origin/main HEAD has
TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound with 3 variants including
PlatformDependentFact (mirrors BoundDeclaration::PlatformDependent).
Earlier brief framing at 4229cd09d was against pre-PlatformDependentFact
state per codex BLOCKING reading; main moved since.

Option (ii) IS feasible: isize/usize rows populate via existing
PlatformDependentFact variant directly; u128 row populates StaticBoundFact
with BigInt-widened ExactInterval (Deliverable 1 unchanged). No
carrier refactor needed; 5 existing rows untouched.

Second Mgr-tier ratification-state-grep miss today (first was symbol-only
grep on T-Rule-Enumeration; now stale-codex-vs-current-HEAD on
TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound). Worker-tier discipline caught it before
sinking time into invasive Option (i.a) refactor.

Single-authority concern (parallel-named variants on
TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound vs BoundDeclaration) noted as future
substrate-fact-introduction; not blocking this slice — explicit-mirror
is the existing convention.

* rust-primitive-full-coverage: align Acceptance + Phase ordering + STOP triggers to Option (ii) (resolve codex internal-contradiction finding)

codex BLOCKING on PR #1929 sha 14f68b63 caught real internal contradiction: Context section flipped to Option (ii) feasible at 57ae4349b but Acceptance + Phase ordering still referenced BoundDeclaration migration / RustPrimitive bound field refactor from earlier Option (i.a) framing.

All sections now consistent with Option (ii):
- Phase 4 = no-op (TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound carrier untouched)
- Phase 5 = spec/rust.dag rows for isize/usize via existing PlatformDependentFact variant
- Phase 6 = u128 row via StaticBoundFact(IntInterval) + ratchet update
- Acceptance retargeted to row-population shape (no carrier refactor; existing 5 TargetIntegerTypeInhabitance rows untouched)
- STOP triggers retargeted to TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound variant-set sufficiency at HEAD
- Why-bundled rationale rewritten to Option (ii) shape (Phase A widening unblocks u128 StaticBoundFact; isize/usize use existing PlatformDependentFact)

* lens brief: narrow Deliverable 3 verification step 4 to Behavior-attributable lines (resolve codex #2 consistency)

codex BLOCKING #2 on PR #1929 sha 812602b4 caught: Acceptance + STOP triggers narrowed to Behavior-attributable lines but Deliverable 3 cementing-test step 4 still said 'every emitted line'. Now consistent — step 4 explicitly scopes to Behavior-attributable subset; declarations + program scaffold OUT-OF-SCOPE per same Finding #2 framing.

(codex BLOCKING #1 — claim that PlatformDependentFact NOT on main — is wrong; verified at origin/main HEAD: TargetIntegerInhabitanceBound has 3 variants including PlatformDependentFact. Rebut on PR.)
