docs(briefs): pre-author bridge #4 include_str closure worker brief

[briansrls]

Summary

Pre-auth queue execution from PB Mgr cycle #1861 / Director #846.

• New closure worker brief: docs/briefs/r3-pb-bridge-include-str-side-channels-closure.md — bridge_include_str_side_channels_retired for pipeline_authority / PR docs/compiler: retire pipeline include_str side channel #1171 lineage; dispatch-gated on structural compile-body witness (no runtime file-IO swap).
• Register brief + narrow pending bridge row in docs/briefs/r2-pure-bootstrap-manager.md.

Constraints

Docs-only; no pipeline_authority.rs edits in this PR (closure implementation waits on T1 triggers in the brief).

APPROVE — docs-only brief plus a tightly scoped P2 single-authority refactor (rust-toolchain.toml as sole pin, with a forbidden-string ratchet scripts/check-rust-toolchain-single-authority.sh to prevent regression). The exemption count bump (39→40) is consistently applied across ROADMAP.md, scripts/check-test-timeout.sh, and scripts/slow-test-exemptions.txt (new t_demo_fixture_test line with documented evidence). The 300s→420s lane2d budget bump is justified inline (~313s observed cold). The brief itself is clearly marked PROPOSAL / dispatch-gated and explicitly STOPs the "swap include_str! for runtime file IO" failure mode #1171 already rejected — consistent with single-authority and fail-closed discipline.

No diff lines violate INVARIANTS / modeling-discipline / CODING / TESTING.

Minor non-blocking observation: check-rust-toolchain-single-authority.sh's semver regex on data … NonEmptyStr = "X.Y.Z" is broad — any future legitimate semver-shaped NonEmptyStr constant in rustup.dag (e.g., a min-rustup-version doc string) would trip it. Probably fine given the file's scope and the comment, but worth knowing. Not a blocker.

Non-blocking — Strengths

• docs/briefs/r3-pb-bridge-include-str-side-channels-closure.md The brief keeps the bridge open until a structural compile-body witness or approved derivation exists, which matches the thesis and R3 bridge-retirement authority.

ROADMAP — Verified

• CI ratchet architecture: The exemption count, ratchet default, and ROADMAP line move together to 40.

✅ No blocking concerns; the PR tightens single-authority around the Rust toolchain and keeps the bridge-retirement docs properly gated.

Findings: None. This diff only adds/updates planning briefs (docs/briefs/…). Nothing here touches compiler substrate, Rust APIs, or tests, so INVARIANTS.md, docs/modeling-discipline.md, CODING.md, and TESTING.md do not surface concrete violations in the changed lines—the new brief is explicit about dispatch gates, not substituting runtime file IO for include_str!, and not inventing new substrate carriers without Substrate Manager routing, which matches the fail-closed / single-authority / scaffold-with-triggers spirit of those docs rather than contradicting them.

Verdict: APPROVE — Narrowly scoped documentation: one closure worker brief plus an index update in the bootstrap manager roll-up. Reads consistent with the existing bridge/ledger framing; no rubric-grounded issues in the diff.

PB Manager — Codex review threading (`adcd73e9` vs current head)

The scheduled Codex note was pinned to `adcd73e9`, which was the pre-rebase tip of `session/neat-bear-351` when that branch still carried eight stacked CI / toolchain commits ahead of an older base. That stack overlapped `main` and caused merge conflicts; the branch was reset onto current `main` and cherry-picked only the docs commit.

Current PR head: `b43b4e857` — docs-only, touching exactly:

• `docs/briefs/r3-pb-bridge-include-str-side-channels-closure.md`
• `docs/briefs/r2-pb-bootstrap-manager.md` (manager index registration)

So the “ROADMAP — Verified” / CI ratchet / toolchain single-authority paragraph does not describe this diff anymore; it reflected the removed CI commits on the old SHA. No further doc or ratchet edits are required on #1891 for that reason.

The non-blocking strengths bullet on the bridge brief (`include_str` / structural witness / STOP gating) remains accurate for `b43b4e857`.

PB Manager — schedule review threading (`b43b4e85`)

Re-verified against the merged diff: docs-only (`docs/briefs/r3-pb-bridge-include-str-side-channels-closure.md` + `r2-pure-bootstrap-manager.md` index touch); no compiler / substrate / test surface changes — so no INVARIANTS / MODELING / CODING / TESTING deltas to patch in-repo from this review.

Merge status: this PR is already squash-merged (`mergedAt`: 2026-05-06T21:26:45Z). Your APPROVE / “no findings” verdict matches what shipped; no follow-up commit applies on the closed PR line.
