Director-authorized canvas at #828 #issuecomment-4402669133 — parallel structure to Q-Cost-Composition-Layering (ε RATIFIED 2026-05-07) but factoring claim DIFFERS per substrate-grep on src/v3/lenses/complexity.dag at HEAD.

Finding

  • Cost-lens needed (target-agnostic shape × target-specific values) factoring → Rust-side composition (ε)
  • Complexity-lens has NO target-specific axis; output is structural property of DAG topology + algebra-instance composition; substrate-native fully-on-.dag-side completion

Mgr provisional reading

ε precedent does NOT apply. Complexity-lens BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION is direct slice-tier substrate authoring (carrier introduction follows SymbolicCost precedent + T-E-P P1 carrier consumption).

Director ratification ask (canvas §"Director ratification ask")

  • Q1: factoring finding correct (no target-context axis; ε precedent does not apply)?
  • Q2: ratify slice-tier dispatch directly (carrier-introduction follows SymbolicCost precedent; bypass canvas for carrier shape)?
  • Q3: fresh worker pin or hold for queue?

Cross-Mgr in flight

Docs-only; no code or test surfaces. Awaits Director Q1/Q2/Q3 ratification + cross-Mgr Q4 disposition for downstream sequencing.

…nt worker brief

Authored for gunbc#1958 Substrate-owned bridge slice. Targets audit-row #2
(kernel Bool patch BOOL_TYPES_FILE) + row #6 (pipeline authority
PIPELINE_AUTHORITY_FILE) per r3-program-plan.md §5 line 353 scope-narrowing.
Sibling #1959 closed as already-retired by PR #1272.

Surfaces 3 carrier-shape options (α RestResponseProjection variant-tag /
β Declaration variant_projection_metadata / γ free-standing CoproductProjection)
for Director ratification before worker brief authoring. Mgr-tier recommendation
= γ (DeclarationRef-keyed, avoids tag-string-as-identity bridge).

…on anchor

Director calibration (gunbc#2079 #issuecomment-...):
1. Promote ratchet-test cross-Mgr handoff from conditional Acceptance #4
   to upfront same-slice BLOCKING prerequisite gate (per
   feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline).
2. Replace `r3-program-plan.md:353` line-cite with `§5 Y4 scope-clarification`
   section anchor (per feedback_section_anchors_over_line_numbers).

Code-line anchors in bootstrap.rs left as-is (anchor sites worker navigates to).

…er discipline

Address BLOCKING inline review at line 46: bridge_source_span_file_participation_retired
is an Open umbrella whose green predicate is "no production code path consults
SourceSpan.file" per r3-structure.md:115. Partial retirement was explicitly
rejected 2026-04-29 (Director acceptance #1130 / dispatch #1139).

Changes:
- Add Ledger-discipline preamble: umbrella row stays Open; receipt updates
  audit-packet enumeration, NOT bridge_ledger.dag.
- Acceptance #3 reframed: do NOT mutate bridge_ledger.dag; mark rows #2 + #6
  retired in the audit packet only.
- Authority anchor updated: status=Open (not Proposed); add r3-structure.md:115
  + bridge_ledger.dag:125-129 line refs.
- Cross-Mgr section reframed: umbrella ratchet cannot flip on this PR alone;
  Verification's ledger-zero audit progress field is post-merge tracking,
  not a same-slice pre-merge blocker. Reconciles with BLOCKING finding
  (Director calibration #1 assumed umbrella ratchet could flip on partial
  retirement, which r3-structure.md:115 forbids).

Director ratification of option γ at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394369848.
Free-standing CoproductProjection carrier in src/v3/std/, DeclarationRef-keyed,
typed WireTagValue leaf, 4 same-slice acceptance gates.

Surfaces 3 substrate observations for STOP-and-PING (DeclarationRef String
alias; FieldRef does-not-exist-at-HEAD; tag_field String asymmetry) — worker
must escalate, not silently work around. PB Mgr cross-Mgr ping at carrier
landing (heads-up, not blocker).

…gr contradiction

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at PR #2079 #issuecomment-... flagged Acceptance #4
("ratchet test passes ... confirmed-present at HEAD before merge") contradicting
the reframed Cross-Mgr section ("No same-slice ratchet-test gate applies; post-merge
tracking only"). Both said different things about whether the umbrella ratchet
is a pre-merge blocker.

Resolution: Acceptance #4 reframed to explicitly state "No umbrella-ratchet
pre-merge gate" — worker does NOT wait for Verification ratchet authoring;
acceptance for this slice is the audit-packet receipt update in #3. Cross-Mgr
handoff also updated to remove "ratchet authoring" from Verification's same-slice
duties.

…-and-PING items

Director pre-ratified dispositions at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394416049:
1. DeclarationRef alias: accept (b) + debt note (re-escalate only on same-slice break)
2. FieldRef: grep-decide between InputFieldRef-as-specialization vs rename
3. tag_field String asymmetry: typed introduction + debt note for migration

Worker proceeds without re-pinging unless evidence forces escalation. STOP-criteria
section narrowed accordingly.

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394427814 + proposal merge
at PR #2096 (commit fec8692): src/v3/std/substrate.dag::Dag IS the reflected
program; no new substrate carrier required. ReflectedProgram<T> rejected.

Gate A patches:
1. r3-program-plan.md §10.3: new Q-Reification row marked RATIFIED with PR #2096
   merge link + Gate A receipt scope (this PR + #1960 closed-as-non-addition).
2. r3-v-pattern-a-tc1-v1-worker.md: 3 sites — status header (Q-Reification
   CLEARED, Branch B η non-vacuity remains), worker-pin gate, E6-G1.a/E3
   producer dependency. Replaces ReflectedProgram<T> with consumer-wiring
   nuance: lens fold consumes Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator.
3. r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md: 2 sites — same nuance: deferred
   work is consumer-wiring, NOT a separate carrier.
4. r3-pr-e8-w1-producer-contract-test-plan-worker.md: 1 site — fold-over-Dag
   reframe.

Receipt of pass-by-construction: this PR adds NO new .dag declaration to
src/v3/std/. The ratification is structurally a non-addition (Option A
correctness proof per same-slice dissolution discipline).

…r for tag_field asymmetry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings (P2 single-authority
+ P5 dissolution trigger).

Fixes:
1. Delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s5-variant-aware-projection-carrier-canvas.md
   (superseded by the γ-ratified worker brief in same PR; would otherwise leave
   two current-looking S5 status authorities post-merge — one saying ratification
   pending, one saying γ ratified).
2. Substrate observation #3 (tag_field String/FieldRef asymmetry) now carries a
   binding named dissolution trigger: when FieldRef exists as top-level carrier
   AND InputFieldRef is classified, migrate InternallyTaggedObject.tag_field via
   follow-on Substrate hygiene PR. Worker MUST add debt-paydown row to authoritative
   debt ledger before merging carrier-introduction PR.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
cursor review at gunbc#2079 #issuecomment-... flagged C-1 as mis-keyed:
INVARIANTS.md C-1 is "missing args fail closed; no LitNull sentinels" (P3
fail-closed family), not parallel-representation/duplicate-authority. The
correct cite for rejecting a parallel ReflectedProgram<T> alongside Dag is
P2 single authority (INVARIANTS.md line 148: cost of change is proportional
to how many files encode the same fact).

Cite updated to "INVARIANTS.md P2 single authority" with inline gloss.

…debt

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: substrate observation #1 had desired
endpoint ("future structural promotion of DeclarationRef") but no checkable
dissolution trigger — same P5 gap that #3 (tag_field asymmetry) had been fixed
for in commit 2601d7d.

Trigger now binding: promote DeclarationRef when EITHER
  (a) audit-row #14 (declaration_name_preference_rank / declaration_by_name
      rank-table) closes — dsl/std ↔ src/v3/std module convergence makes
      name-keyed identity unambiguous and structural module identity available,
  OR
  (b) any DeclarationRef-typed consumer surfaces a string-identity bridge per
      feedback_opaque_strings_attract_heuristics (heuristic patching, naming-
      convention dispatch, suffix/prefix matching).

Worker MUST add debt-paydown row before merging carrier-introduction PR (same
pattern as the tag_field debt requirement).

…-PAFS row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md:169
still said TC1/V1 "waits for Q-Reification and the carrier landing", contradicting
the same brief's lines 15-19 + 148-153 saying Dag IS the carrier and no separate
carrier lands.

Fixed:
1. e6-g1a brief line 167-170 paragraph: clarified V1 waits for consumer-wiring
   work (lens fold consuming Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator), NOT
   for a carrier-introduction.
2. r3-program-plan.md:954 Q-PAFS row text was the same shape: "Resume after
   Q-Reification + ReflectedProgram<T>" — contradicted my new Q-Reification row
   in the same diff. Updated: Q-Reification STOP CLEARED 2026-05-07 (Option A);
   remaining hold = Branch B η non-vacuity only.

Out-of-scope-for-this-PR: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-feasibility-probe.md
contains 4 stale cites but is not modified in this PR; stale-on-main can be
swept in a follow-up if needed (single source of truth is the e6-g1a-static-lens
worker brief, not the feasibility probe per Q-PAFS Path A acceptance).

…+ #3

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079 line 22: my brief mis-read services.dag:28-36.
The text actually says "No separate InputFieldRef carrier is introduced here,
since ParamToken.name already carries the same shape and adding a wrapper would
duplicate without strengthening the structural invariant" — i.e., InputFieldRef
does NOT exist; the comment REJECTS the wrapper.

Fixes:
1. Substrate observation #2 reframed: no FieldRef-shaped carrier exists at HEAD;
   services.dag:28-36 precedent argues against wrapper unless it strengthens
   structural invariant. New (a)/(b) STOP-and-PING:
   (a) follow services.dag precedent — wire_tag_field: String + key invariant
       on wire_tag_values + fixture-load fail-closed check;
   (b) introduce typed FieldRef — must justify per "duplicate without
       strengthening" test.
2. Carrier shape (line 19): wire_tag_field: FieldRef → {String|FieldRef}
   pending observation #2 resolution.
3. Substrate observation #3 reframed: InternallyTaggedObject asymmetry is
   conditional on path (b); under path (a) no asymmetry exists. Trigger
   correspondingly conditional. Removed stale "InputFieldRef classified" trigger
   clause.

…ed entry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: CoproductProjection shape split
per-variant data across two parallel maps (variant_field_projections +
wire_tag_values), admitting illegal states where keysets drift (P2 boundary
discipline / illegal-states-unrepresentable).

Fix: introduce CoproductVariantProjection { field_projection, wire_tag_value }
as the per-variant keyed value; CoproductProjection.variant_projections becomes
Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection>. Single keyed authority per variant.

Director's binding constraint #2 enumerated the two fields separately but said
"refine in implementation as ergonomics demand" — consolidation preserves the
substantive constraints (typed WireTagValue leaf, structural per-variant
projection) while enforcing keyset alignment by carrier shape.

Empty-payload variants encoded via FieldProjection::Empty constructor (or
analog), not via map-absence.

…-and-PING umbrella

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings.

1. Path (a) at line 43 still referenced "Map<VariantId, WireTagValue> key invariant
   on wire_tag_values" — that's the superseded split-map vocab; the consolidated
   shape is Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection> on variant_projections.
   Path (a) now references the consolidated map; per-variant WireTagValue lives
   inside CoproductVariantProjection.

2. Pre-ratification umbrella at line 36 said "all 3 dispositions pre-ratified,
   proceed without re-pinging" — but observation #2 was re-opened after the
   codex InputFieldRef finding and explicitly says STOP-and-PING. Contradictory.
   Umbrella now scoped: observations #1 + #3 are pre-ratified; #2 is re-opened
   STOP-and-PING — worker MUST escalate before choosing path (a) vs (b).

…issolution audit

Director ratified split disposition at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394696074:
descent_execution_proof STANDS ALONE (consumer-side termination-contract
substrate function with fail-closed residual enumeration; folding into
T-E-P-Producer-Broadening explicitly rejected — different concern axis).

Canvas surfaces 3 carrier-shape options for the residual enumeration per
Director's coproduct-dissolution audit suggestion:

α: 4-variant coproduct verbatim from §10.3 row 966 (Missing | Unknown |
   Incomplete | NonStrict)
β: 3-axis dimensional product (presence × completeness × strictness)
γ (recommended): reuse DescentEvidence at termination.dag:14-17 for
   "absent/unknown" via EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) payload-variant +
   separate EvidenceIncomplete — ratchets variant count 4 → 2 via dimensional
   folding while honoring services.dag "no parallel wrapper" precedent.

Mgr recommendation γ; β rejected unless 3 axes provably compose orthogonally.

…ty map, no new enum variant

codex BLOCKING (post-merge of #2079, on commit 85ceb85 — same brief is now on
main): my Row #6 disposition told the worker to introduce a new
BootstrapAuthority::Pipeline variant ("extend the enum if needed"). That
violates P2 single-authority — src/v3/std/bootstrap_authority.dag:90 already
has "src/v3/compiler/pipeline.dag": CompilerAuthority, classifying pipeline.dag
under the existing CompilerAuthority variant. The :14-17 comment is explicit:
"the path itself is the BootstrapAuthoritySet map key; variants carry no
duplicate path payload" — single authority, not extension-by-variant.

Fix: Row #6 now instructs worker to derive the typed key from the existing
bootstrap_authority-map witness (BootstrapAuthorityKey threading the existing
CompilerAuthority classifier), refining the constructor surface if needed —
NOT introducing a new enum variant. STOP-and-PING criteria updated to forbid
new-variant resolution under any path.

…riant residual)

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395060514:
- DescentResidual = EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) | EvidenceIncomplete
  (4 → 2 dissolution: Missing+Unknown fold via DescentUnknown injection;
  NonStrict folds via NonIncreasing wrap; Incomplete retained — different
  concern axis from evidence-lattice)
- DescentEvidence 3-variant lattice at termination.dag:14-17 confirmed as
  authoritative composition target
- Type signature from §10.3 row 966 confirmed verbatim-binding

Director-asked canvas-shape verification absorbed: worker STOPs if
EvidenceIncomplete decomposes into payload-variants (timeout / depth-bound /
evaluator-error-during-proof-construction); proceeds as 2-variant otherwise.

7 same-slice acceptance gates incl Evaluator E2 #1971 consumer wiring in same
PR + §10.3 row 966 row-text refresh to cite γ-disposition.

Worker pin: quick-koi-190 (pre-authorized per §10.3 row 966).

Auto-spawn HOLD per L-sized threshold; surgical-recreate path ratified
case-by-case if critical path blocked.

…d via NonStrictEvidence subset; delete superseded canvas

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2105: 2 findings.

1. BLOCKING (LAYER MODEL / illegal states unrepresentable): worker brief
   shape `EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence)` admitted EvidenceUnknown(Strict)
   even though the canvas itself acknowledged Strict-isn't-a-residual as
   illegal. P2 requires API-level enforcement, not prose convention.

   Fix: introduce typed subset `NonStrictEvidence = NonIncreasing |
   DescentUnknown`; residual now `EvidenceUnknown(NonStrictEvidence)` —
   illegal-states-unrepresentable by construction. NonStrictEvidence lands in
   same file as DescentResidual; composes with existing 3-variant
   DescentEvidence via inhabitation, not re-definition.

2. NON-BLOCKING (live-state drift): canvas + worker brief both visible with
   "ratification needed" vs "ratified" status — same P2 single-authority
   shape as the S5 canvas/worker-brief co-existence at #2079.

   Fix: delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-descent-execution-proof-canvas.md
   (worker brief frontmatter already names it as superseded; with canvas
   gone the live authority is unambiguous).

… row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2105 line 47: my brief cited "§10.3 row 966" but the
actual line is now 986 (after my Q-Reification row insert in PR #2079 shifted
§10.3 by 20 lines). Reviewer's "no such section" claim is wrong on substance
(file + section + row all exist) but the line drift IS real.

Fix per feedback_section_anchors_over_line_numbers (Director calibration in
gunbc#2079): replaced all "§10.3 row 966" with "§10.3 Q-EVAL-Descent-
Termination-Contract row" — name-anchor instead of line-anchor, drift-immune.
5 occurrences cleaned (closure predicate, acceptance gate #3, gate #5, STOP
criterion, worker pin justification). Stylistic "row row-text" repetition
collapsed to "row text".

…osition shape (#1957)

Pre-staged per Director endorsement of T-CostLens-Composition canvas-shape
authoring. Surfaces 3 composition options for the Lens<SymbolicCost> instance:

α: two separate lenses, externally joined — REJECTED (violates §1.8 gate #39
   no_coercion_cost_dimension by construction)
β: single Lens<SymbolicCost> with composed witness in read — strong but
   requires Lens<C> carrier-shape refactor (target-context threading)
γ (recommended): Lens<SymbolicCost> reads structural cost via algebra-fold +
   target-realization composed via existing Lookup<SymbolicCost> substrate at
   lookup.dag:48-60 — preserves generic Lens<C> carrier; satisfies all 4 §1.8
   gates (#37-40) by construction; aligns with feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first

Adjacent substrate verified at HEAD: lens.dag:70-77 (Lens<C>), algebra.dag:12+
(SymbolicCost 7-variant + Semiring), lookup.dag:48-60 (Lookup<SymbolicCost> +
MissingCost lens-boundary).

…e-narrowing

Pre-staged per Director endorsement. Q-Workflow-As-Data-Carriers (§10.3 row 983)
named 5 carriers; grep-verified at HEAD that 4 of 5 ALREADY EXIST in
dsl/extdeps/github/actions.dag (218 lines). Only WorkflowSecret<Name> is
wholly net-new substrate.

Surfaces 3 options:
α: maximalist 5-carrier introduction in dsl/std/workflow.dag — REJECTED
   (admits parallel-representation debt vs audit-receipt #1771 reuse-first
   directive)
β (recommended): minimalist — only WorkflowSecret<Name> + Cron<Schedule>
   refinement net-new; lens consumes extdeps.github.actions directly. Honors
   feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first.
γ: like β + WorkflowObservationAnchor for typed lens-consumption-shape;
   natural ratchet from β if evidence accumulates.

Sequencing: dispatch-ready post-T-LBP COMPLETE per §S4 design-schedule:95;
brief authoring lands in advance per pre-staging discipline.

…e canvas

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395691775:
- γ option ratified (Lens<SymbolicCost> + Lookup<SymbolicCost> composition)
- Lens<C> generic at lens.dag:70-77 confirmed authoritative (no refactor in scope)
- symbolic_cost_dimension: AnalysisDimension<SymbolicCost> defers to separate
  Dimensions sub-lane

Critical reframing absorbed: src/v3/lenses/cost.dag ALREADY EXISTS (status:
STRUCTURALLY TERMINAL; BEHAVIORALLY PROXY). T-CostLens-Composition is
behavioral-completion + target-realization-wiring, NOT P1 carrier introduction.
Worker reads existing lens; advances PROXY → BEHAVIORALLY COMPLETE via
Lookup<SymbolicCost> composition.

8 same-slice acceptance gates incl §1.8 #37-40 + #70 demonstration + lens
status header refresh + §10.3 row text refresh.

Out-of-scope (deferred per Director): symbolic_cost_dimension; Lens<C>
generic refactor (STOP-and-PING if implementation reveals need).

Canvas deleted per single-authority discipline (same precedent as S5 +
descent_execution_proof canvas deletions).

…erns 1-3

Director relayed PM canvas review at #2068 c#4401627536:

Concern 1 (RESOLVED via grep-verify): empirical N=1 confirmation. PM ran
`grep -lc 'TypeRealization|CallableRealization|MethodTemplateContract|
target_realization|realization_cost|LanguageSpec' src/v3/lenses/*.dag`;
only cost.dag has 3 hits, all 14 others have 0 refs (including
emission_provenance.dag which I'd previously framed speculatively).

Net-finding §3 updated with grep result inline + "N=1 empirically grounded"
framing replacing speculative "secondary candidate" language. Empirical
basis for DEFERRED β-extended disposition strengthened.

Concern 2 (Option (ii) multiplier framing): per-target lens instances
replicate the entire Lens<C> authoring surface — N×M × 4 (carrier + monoid
sequential + branch + iterate) authoring overhead. Updated Con bullet to
reflect the multiplier explicitly: 3 targets × 1 cost lens × 4 = 12 authored
fns; grows to 36 if 3 lenses need target-context. Cites
feedback_parallel_representation_debt as the P2 framing.

Concern 3 (Option (i) threading cost quantification): replaced narrative
"threading cost is real but manageable" with quantified breakdown — ~15
signature changes + 14 ignore-parameter patterns + 1 consumer + cementing-
test revalidation. Helps future Director ratification at N=2 trigger event.

All 3 amendments are docs-only refinements; ε ratification at gunbc#2181
c#4401584012 unchanged. Strengthens canvas as durable substrate-shape
decision record.

…post-ratification

codex BLOCKING at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): both canvases had stale
"Director ratification ask" sections after status headers were updated to
RATIFIED/DEFERRED. Per INVARIANTS P1 "Documentation Describes Live State" —
canvas internally presented both settled and unsettled authority.

Fixes:

1. Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 69-76: "Director ratification ask"
   section collapsed to "Director ratification (RECEIVED 2026-05-07)" with
   ε ratified, β-extended deferred, "both sequenced" rejected. Three options
   recorded as historical with ratification cite. Eliminates the rejected
   "both, sequenced" line that conflicted with status-header "canonical-not-
   transitional" framing.

2. Q-Lens-Target-Context line 131-136: "Director ratification ask" section
   collapsed to "Director disposition (DEFERRED 2026-05-07; reopens on N=2
   trigger event)". Original ratification asks recorded as FROZEN; revisit
   at N=2 trigger event with then-current substrate-state grep. Eliminates
   live-now-ratify framing that conflicted with status-header DEFERRED.

Both canvases now single live authority — RATIFIED/DEFERRED dispositions,
no internal ratification-ask drift. Future re-ratification (Q-Lens-Target-
Context at N=2 trigger) refreshes options matrix at that point per
substrate-state-honesty discipline.

…n-only future N=2

openai-pro APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): canvas
line 127 mixed live N=1 authority with speculative N=2 candidate in one
current-state cost count.

Per P1 Documentation Describes Live State + P2 single-authority metadata:
the live count at HEAD is `cost × 3 targets = 3 per-target instances` (× 4
authoring-multiplier per Option (ii) Con = 12 fns). The `emission_provenance
× 3` figure is a reopen-only future scenario that materializes only if
emission_provenance becomes the second real target-context lens at producer-
wiring landing time.

Updated to separate the two clearly: live count + reopen-only future
scenario marked separately. Aligns with the grep-verified N=1 finding
established earlier in canvas §3.

Director-tier confirmation: canvas authoring aligns with Q1+Q2+Q3 ratification at #2068 c#4402714255

This canvas IS the substrate-grep finding that ε precedent does NOT apply to complexity-lens (no target-context axis; purely structural fold over DAG topology + algebra composition). Canvas authoring serves its discipline role: test whether ε factoring applies; surface the finding either way.

Canvas authoring quality

  • ✓ Q-PAFS template followed cleanly (status quo / question / Layer 1/2/3 test / options / Mgr lean)
  • ✓ Substrate-grep at HEAD on complexity.dag PROXY status — authoritative
  • ✓ Layer 1/2/3 test surfaces the structural truth (no target-specific axis)
  • ✓ Mgr lean explicit + grounded (Q1=yes / Q2=yes / Q3=fresh worker pin)
  • ✓ Cross-Mgr coordination noted (v2-oracle snapshot owner-clarification; T-E-P P1 Indirect variant interaction)
  • ✓ Authority anchored to grep-verifiable HEAD (complexity.dag at HEAD; SymbolicCost precedent at algebra.dag)

Director ratification (already at #2068 c#4402714255)

  • Q1 RATIFIED — complexity-lens has no target-context axis; ε precedent doesn't apply
  • Q2 RATIFIED — slice-tier dispatch directly; SymbolicCost precedent applies for carrier introduction; canvas-tier bypassed for carrier shape
  • Q3 RATIFIED — fresh worker pin; dispatch under same-window-dispatch discipline

Same-slice acceptance gates for canvas landing

When this PR marks ready + lands:

  1. Canvas doc on main as durable substrate-shape-decision-record (the "ε doesn't apply here" finding is the load-bearing artifact)
  2. §10.3 row updated reflecting Q-Complexity-Composition-Layering canvas RATIFIED + slice-tier dispatch path
  3. Post-merge: Substrate Mgr authors complexity-lens-substrate-completion worker brief + dispatches fresh worker pin

Discipline anchor

This is the right kind of canvas outcome — canvas-test surfaces "factoring doesn't apply, slice-tier dispatch is the natural path". Per feedback_construction_over_ratchets: structural truth (substrate-grep at HEAD) drives the decision; not heuristic-pattern-matching to ε precedent.

Standing-authority merge applies on ready-flip + green CI + sit window. No special Director gate.

… (Q1/Q2/Q3 RATIFIED)

Pre-authored brief for complexity-lens BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION substrate
work per Director Q1/Q2/Q3 ratification at #828 c#4402714255.

Three deliverables: carrier introduction (ComplexityCost / WorkSpan /
AsymptoticClass following SymbolicCost precedent) + lens widening
(complexity.dag PROXY → COMPLETE) + T-E-P P1 carrier consumption
(DescentEvidence / CallPattern / SubValueRelation for asymptotic
classification of recursive-call behavior).

Indirect-variant dependency surfaced as worker-grep concern at slice-
authoring time (T-E-P P1 Slice 5+ pending; eager-bat-178 stream).

Cementing test (#1950) is separate downstream brief; v2-oracle snapshot
ownership pending Q4 cross-Mgr ratification.

Worker pin: fresh-pool pick at dispatch time (NOT eager-bat-178 per
Director Q3 framing; NOT fierce-ram-21 busy with cost-lens ε).

Same-window-dispatch discipline applies post-canvas-merge (PR #2197).

Pre-authored vs pre-known discipline applied per
feedback_pre_known_vs_pre_authored_briefs.md memorialized 2026-05-08.

Director calibration (gunbc#2079 #issuecomment-...):
1. Promote ratchet-test cross-Mgr handoff from conditional Acceptance #4

2. Replace `r3-program-plan.md:353` line-cite with `§5 Y4 scope-clarification`

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan.file brief — umbrella stays Open per P2 ledger discipline

Address BLOCKING inline review at line 46: bridge_source_span_file_participation_retired
is an Open umbrella whose green predicate is "no production code path consults
SourceSpan.file" per r3-structure.md:115. Partial retirement was explicitly
rejected 2026-04-29 (Director acceptance #1130 / dispatch #1139).

Changes:
- Add Ledger-discipline preamble: umbrella row stays Open; receipt updates
  audit-packet enumeration, NOT bridge_ledger.dag.
- Acceptance #3 reframed: do NOT mutate bridge_ledger.dag; mark rows #2 + #6
  retired in the audit packet only.
- Authority anchor updated: status=Open (not Proposed); add r3-structure.md:115
  + bridge_ledger.dag:125-129 line refs.
- Cross-Mgr section reframed: umbrella ratchet cannot flip on this PR alone;
  Verification's ledger-zero audit progress field is post-merge tracking,
  not a same-slice pre-merge blocker. Reconciles with BLOCKING finding
  (Director calibration #1 assumed umbrella ratchet could flip on partial
  retirement, which r3-structure.md:115 forbids).

Director ratification of option γ at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394369848.
Free-standing CoproductProjection carrier in src/v3/std/, DeclarationRef-keyed,
typed WireTagValue leaf, 4 same-slice acceptance gates.

Surfaces 3 substrate observations for STOP-and-PING (DeclarationRef String
alias; FieldRef does-not-exist-at-HEAD; tag_field String asymmetry) — worker
must escalate, not silently work around. PB Mgr cross-Mgr ping at carrier
landing (heads-up, not blocker).

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan.file brief — resolve Acceptance #4 / Cross-Mgr contradiction

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at PR #2079 #issuecomment-... flagged Acceptance #4
("ratchet test passes ... confirmed-present at HEAD before merge") contradicting
the reframed Cross-Mgr section ("No same-slice ratchet-test gate applies; post-merge
tracking only"). Both said different things about whether the umbrella ratchet
is a pre-merge blocker.

Resolution: Acceptance #4 reframed to explicitly state "No umbrella-ratchet
pre-merge gate" — worker does NOT wait for Verification ratchet authoring;
acceptance for this slice is the audit-packet receipt update in #3. Cross-Mgr
handoff also updated to remove "ratchet authoring" from Verification's same-slice
duties.

* docs(r3): Q-Reification Gate A receipt — Option A (Dag-as-carrier)

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394427814 + proposal merge
at PR #2096 (commit fec8692): src/v3/std/substrate.dag::Dag IS the reflected
program; no new substrate carrier required. ReflectedProgram<T> rejected.

Gate A patches:
1. r3-program-plan.md §10.3: new Q-Reification row marked RATIFIED with PR #2096
   merge link + Gate A receipt scope (this PR + #1960 closed-as-non-addition).
2. r3-v-pattern-a-tc1-v1-worker.md: 3 sites — status header (Q-Reification
   CLEARED, Branch B η non-vacuity remains), worker-pin gate, E6-G1.a/E3
   producer dependency. Replaces ReflectedProgram<T> with consumer-wiring
   nuance: lens fold consumes Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator.
3. r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md: 2 sites — same nuance: deferred
   work is consumer-wiring, NOT a separate carrier.
4. r3-pr-e8-w1-producer-contract-test-plan-worker.md: 1 site — fold-over-Dag
   reframe.

Receipt of pass-by-construction: this PR adds NO new .dag declaration to
src/v3/std/. The ratification is structurally a non-addition (Option A
correctness proof per same-slice dissolution discipline).

* docs(briefs): S5 — delete superseded canvas + name dissolution trigger for tag_field asymmetry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings (P2 single-authority
+ P5 dissolution trigger).

Fixes:
1. Delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s5-variant-aware-projection-carrier-canvas.md
   (superseded by the γ-ratified worker brief in same PR; would otherwise leave
   two current-looking S5 status authorities post-merge — one saying ratification
   pending, one saying γ ratified).
2. Substrate observation #3 (tag_field String/FieldRef asymmetry) now carries a
   binding named dissolution trigger: when FieldRef exists as top-level carrier
   AND InputFieldRef is classified, migrate InternallyTaggedObject.tag_field via
   follow-on Substrate hygiene PR. Worker MUST add debt-paydown row to authoritative
   debt ledger before merging carrier-introduction PR.

cursor review at gunbc#2079 #issuecomment-... flagged C-1 as mis-keyed:
INVARIANTS.md C-1 is "missing args fail closed; no LitNull sentinels" (P3
fail-closed family), not parallel-representation/duplicate-authority. The
correct cite for rejecting a parallel ReflectedProgram<T> alongside Dag is
P2 single authority (INVARIANTS.md line 148: cost of change is proportional
to how many files encode the same fact).

Cite updated to "INVARIANTS.md P2 single authority" with inline gloss.

* docs(briefs): S5 — name dissolution trigger for DeclarationRef alias debt

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: substrate observation #1 had desired
endpoint ("future structural promotion of DeclarationRef") but no checkable
dissolution trigger — same P5 gap that #3 (tag_field asymmetry) had been fixed
for in commit 2601d7d.

Trigger now binding: promote DeclarationRef when EITHER
  (a) audit-row #14 (declaration_name_preference_rank / declaration_by_name
      rank-table) closes — dsl/std ↔ src/v3/std module convergence makes
      name-keyed identity unambiguous and structural module identity available,
  OR
  (b) any DeclarationRef-typed consumer surfaces a string-identity bridge per
      feedback_opaque_strings_attract_heuristics (heuristic patching, naming-
      convention dispatch, suffix/prefix matching).

Worker MUST add debt-paydown row before merging carrier-introduction PR (same
pattern as the tag_field debt requirement).

* docs: complete Q-Reification stale-cite sweep — e6-g1a brief :169 + Q-PAFS row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md:169
still said TC1/V1 "waits for Q-Reification and the carrier landing", contradicting
the same brief's lines 15-19 + 148-153 saying Dag IS the carrier and no separate
carrier lands.

Fixed:
1. e6-g1a brief line 167-170 paragraph: clarified V1 waits for consumer-wiring
   work (lens fold consuming Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator), NOT
   for a carrier-introduction.
2. r3-program-plan.md:954 Q-PAFS row text was the same shape: "Resume after
   Q-Reification + ReflectedProgram<T>" — contradicted my new Q-Reification row
   in the same diff. Updated: Q-Reification STOP CLEARED 2026-05-07 (Option A);
   remaining hold = Branch B η non-vacuity only.

Out-of-scope-for-this-PR: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-feasibility-probe.md
contains 4 stale cites but is not modified in this PR; stale-on-main can be
swept in a follow-up if needed (single source of truth is the e6-g1a-static-lens
worker brief, not the feasibility probe per Q-PAFS Path A acceptance).

* docs(briefs): S5 — fix InputFieldRef mis-read; reframe observations #2 + #3

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079 line 22: my brief mis-read services.dag:28-36.
The text actually says "No separate InputFieldRef carrier is introduced here,
since ParamToken.name already carries the same shape and adding a wrapper would
duplicate without strengthening the structural invariant" — i.e., InputFieldRef
does NOT exist; the comment REJECTS the wrapper.

Fixes:
1. Substrate observation #2 reframed: no FieldRef-shaped carrier exists at HEAD;
   services.dag:28-36 precedent argues against wrapper unless it strengthens
   structural invariant. New (a)/(b) STOP-and-PING:
   (a) follow services.dag precedent — wire_tag_field: String + key invariant
       on wire_tag_values + fixture-load fail-closed check;
   (b) introduce typed FieldRef — must justify per "duplicate without
       strengthening" test.
2. Carrier shape (line 19): wire_tag_field: FieldRef → {String|FieldRef}
   pending observation #2 resolution.
3. Substrate observation #3 reframed: InternallyTaggedObject asymmetry is
   conditional on path (b); under path (a) no asymmetry exists. Trigger
   correspondingly conditional. Removed stale "InputFieldRef classified" trigger
   clause.

* docs(briefs): S5 — consolidate split per-variant maps into single keyed entry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: CoproductProjection shape split
per-variant data across two parallel maps (variant_field_projections +
wire_tag_values), admitting illegal states where keysets drift (P2 boundary
discipline / illegal-states-unrepresentable).

Fix: introduce CoproductVariantProjection { field_projection, wire_tag_value }
as the per-variant keyed value; CoproductProjection.variant_projections becomes
Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection>. Single keyed authority per variant.

Director's binding constraint #2 enumerated the two fields separately but said
"refine in implementation as ergonomics demand" — consolidation preserves the
substantive constraints (typed WireTagValue leaf, structural per-variant
projection) while enforcing keyset alignment by carrier shape.

Empty-payload variants encoded via FieldProjection::Empty constructor (or
analog), not via map-absence.

* docs(briefs): S5 — fix stale split-map vocab in path (a) + scope STOP-and-PING umbrella

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings.

1. Path (a) at line 43 still referenced "Map<VariantId, WireTagValue> key invariant
   on wire_tag_values" — that's the superseded split-map vocab; the consolidated
   shape is Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection> on variant_projections.
   Path (a) now references the consolidated map; per-variant WireTagValue lives
   inside CoproductVariantProjection.

2. Pre-ratification umbrella at line 36 said "all 3 dispositions pre-ratified,
   proceed without re-pinging" — but observation #2 was re-opened after the
   codex InputFieldRef finding and explicitly says STOP-and-PING. Contradictory.
   Umbrella now scoped: observations #1 + #3 are pre-ratified; #2 is re-opened
   STOP-and-PING — worker MUST escalate before choosing path (a) vs (b).

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof canvas — 4-residual coproduct-dissolution audit

Director ratified split disposition at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394696074:
descent_execution_proof STANDS ALONE (consumer-side termination-contract
substrate function with fail-closed residual enumeration; folding into
T-E-P-Producer-Broadening explicitly rejected — different concern axis).

Canvas surfaces 3 carrier-shape options for the residual enumeration per
Director's coproduct-dissolution audit suggestion:

α: 4-variant coproduct verbatim from §10.3 row 966 (Missing | Unknown |
   Incomplete | NonStrict)
β: 3-axis dimensional product (presence × completeness × strictness)
γ (recommended): reuse DescentEvidence at termination.dag:14-17 for
   "absent/unknown" via EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) payload-variant +
   separate EvidenceIncomplete — ratchets variant count 4 → 2 via dimensional
   folding while honoring services.dag "no parallel wrapper" precedent.

Mgr recommendation γ; β rejected unless 3 axes provably compose orthogonally.

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan brief Row #6 — derive from bootstrap_authority map, no new enum variant

codex BLOCKING (post-merge of #2079, on commit 85ceb85 — same brief is now on
main): my Row #6 disposition told the worker to introduce a new
BootstrapAuthority::Pipeline variant ("extend the enum if needed"). That
violates P2 single-authority — src/v3/std/bootstrap_authority.dag:90 already
has "src/v3/compiler/pipeline.dag": CompilerAuthority, classifying pipeline.dag
under the existing CompilerAuthority variant. The :14-17 comment is explicit:
"the path itself is the BootstrapAuthoritySet map key; variants carry no
duplicate path payload" — single authority, not extension-by-variant.

Fix: Row #6 now instructs worker to derive the typed key from the existing
bootstrap_authority-map witness (BootstrapAuthorityKey threading the existing
CompilerAuthority classifier), refining the constructor surface if needed —
NOT introducing a new enum variant. STOP-and-PING criteria updated to forbid
new-variant resolution under any path.

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof worker brief — γ ratified (2-variant residual)

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395060514:

  (4 → 2 dissolution: Missing+Unknown fold via DescentUnknown injection;
  NonStrict folds via NonIncreasing wrap; Incomplete retained — different
  concern axis from evidence-lattice)
- DescentEvidence 3-variant lattice at termination.dag:14-17 confirmed as

- Type signature from §10.3 row 966 confirmed verbatim-binding

Director-asked canvas-shape verification absorbed: worker STOPs if

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — narrow EvidenceUnknown payload via NonStrictEvidence subset; delete superseded canvas

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2105: 2 findings.

1. BLOCKING (LAYER MODEL / illegal states unrepresentable): worker brief
   shape `EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence)` admitted EvidenceUnknown(Strict)
   even though the canvas itself acknowledged Strict-isn't-a-residual as
   illegal. P2 requires API-level enforcement, not prose convention.

   Fix: introduce typed subset `NonStrictEvidence = NonIncreasing |
   DescentUnknown`; residual now `EvidenceUnknown(NonStrictEvidence)` —
   illegal-states-unrepresentable by construction. NonStrictEvidence lands in
   same file as DescentResidual; composes with existing 3-variant
   DescentEvidence via inhabitation, not re-definition.

2. NON-BLOCKING (live-state drift): canvas + worker brief both visible with
   "ratification needed" vs "ratified" status — same P2 single-authority
   shape as the S5 canvas/worker-brief co-existence at #2079.

   Fix: delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-descent-execution-proof-canvas.md
   (worker brief frontmatter already names it as superseded; with canvas
   gone the live authority is unambiguous).

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — section-anchor cite for §10.3 row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2105 line 47: my brief cited "§10.3 row 966" but the
actual line is now 986 (after my Q-Reification row insert in PR #2079 shifted
§10.3 by 20 lines). Reviewer's "no such section" claim is wrong on substance
(file + section + row all exist) but the line drift IS real.

Fix per feedback_section_anchors_over_line_numbers (Director calibration in
gunbc#2079): replaced all "§10.3 row 966" with "§10.3 Q-EVAL-Descent-
Termination-Contract row" — name-anchor instead of line-anchor, drift-immune.
5 occurrences cleaned (closure predicate, acceptance gate #3, gate #5, STOP
criterion, worker pin justification). Stylistic "row row-text" repetition
collapsed to "row text".

Pre-staged per Director endorsement of T-CostLens-Composition canvas-shape

α: two separate lenses, externally joined — REJECTED (violates §1.8 gate #39
   no_coercion_cost_dimension by construction)
β: single Lens<SymbolicCost> with composed witness in read — strong but

Surfaces 3 options:

β (recommended): minimalist — only WorkflowSecret<Name> + Cron<Schedule>

behavioral-completion + target-realization-wiring, NOT P1 carrier introduction.
Worker reads existing lens; advances PROXY → BEHAVIORALLY COMPLETE via
Lookup<SymbolicCost> composition.

8 same-slice acceptance gates incl §1.8 #37-40 + #70 demonstration + lens
status header refresh + §10.3 row text refresh.

Out-of-scope (deferred per Director): symbolic_cost_dimension; Lens<C>
generic refactor (STOP-and-PING if implementation reveals need).

Canvas deleted per single-authority discipline (same precedent as S5 +
descent_execution_proof canvas deletions).

* Delete superseded T-CostLens canvas (worker brief is single live authority)

* docs(briefs): T-WAD Slice 1 worker brief — β ratified; delete canvas

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395945465: 4 asks confirmed:
1. β ratified (minimalist reuse-first)
2. #1771 audit-receipt binding precedent confirmed
3. WorkflowSecret<Name> folds into dsl/extdeps/github/actions.dag (provider-
   specific scope; NOT new dsl/std/ file unless cross-provider evidence)
4. §1.8 gates #54 + #55 split into separate slices (slice 2 = timing-and-pattern;
   slice 3 = ci_workflow_modeled_as_dag)

Slice 1 net-new substrate (only):
- WorkflowSecret<Name> + SecretScope carriers
- CronExpression + CronField (typed refinement of existing
  WorkflowTrigger::Schedule { cron: String } at actions.dag:43)

Other 4 carriers from §10.3 row 983 reused as-is from extdeps.github.actions
per audit-receipt #1771 directive.

6 same-slice acceptance gates incl no-parallel-representation grep + gate
#53/#62/#63 advancement + bootstrap regen + clippy.

Cross-provider STOP-and-PING per Director ask #3 caveat: worker greps adjacent
provider work for WorkflowSecret-shape evidence; surfaces if found before
finalizing fold-into-extdeps.

Canvas deleted per single-authority discipline (S5 + descent_execution_proof +

* docs(briefs): T-LAS Demo (#1952) complexity-contract compile-error worker brief

Pre-staged execution brief per Director endorsement of T-LAS demos via direct
worker brief path (no canvas — design-lock at docs/design-lens-application-
surface.md specifies fixture shape verbatim at line 292).

7 same-slice acceptance gates: fixture program (O(n²) body + Enforce O(log n)
budget) + TestClaim assertion + diagnostic structural validation + no
regression on T-LBP cementing + bootstrap regen + clippy + §1.8 #92
advancement.

Hard prerequisites STOP-and-PING: T-LAS Slice A landed (gates #88-#91) AND
T-LBP complexity-lens BEHAVIORALLY COMPLETE (gate #79). Worker does not
author against partial substrate.

Sibling demos #1953 (CRDT cost) + #1954 (memory-peak cost) share the same
hard-prerequisite + TestClaim shape pattern — could dispatch as 3 sequential
PRs or single multi-demo PR (worker's call at dispatch).

* docs(briefs): T-LAS Demos #1953 + #1954 — cost-basis sibling worker brief

Pre-staged sibling brief covering both cost-basis demos (CRDT cost basis +
memory-peak cost basis) per Director endorsement of T-LAS demos via direct
worker-brief path. Single brief for two demos because they share:
- Hard-prerequisite pattern (T-LAS Slice A + T-LBP cost-lens BEHAVIORALLY COMPLETE)
- TestClaim + Diagnostic structural validation shape
- apply_lens(cost, ...) Enforce mode

Sibling of #1952 brief (complexity-contract compile-error). Worker's call at
dispatch on multi-demo PR vs sequential PRs (Mgr ratification needed if going
multi-demo).

#1953 (CRDT) substrate per design §4.2 + cost-basis-declaration audit at
docs/audit/t-user-authored-cost-basis-discipline-worked-examples.md.
#1954 (memory-peak) substrate per design §4.3; STOP-and-PING if
Dimension<SymbolicCost> substrate (deferred to Dimensions sub-lane per Director
ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395691775) not yet landed.

6 same-slice acceptance gates per demo + same STOP-and-PING discipline as #1952.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context canvas (β-extended substrate-shape question)

Director α-revised supersession at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4400920572 elevated
β-extended path (introduce first-precedent .dag-side fold-over-realization-rows
+ name active-target authority shape) from slice-tier to canvas-tier.

Authored per Q-PAFS template:
- Substrate-state at HEAD grep-verified (Lens<C>.read no target-context;
  zero .dag-side fold-over-realizations precedent; 15+ lens instances using
  generic Lens<C>)
- Binary question: should .dag-side lenses receive target-context for
  target-keyed reading?
- Options matrix: (i) LanguageSpec param to fold; (ii) per-target lens
  instances [parallel-representation debt]; (iii) global accessor [REJECTED
  global-state anti-pattern]
- Mgr provisional preference: (i)
- Cross-cutting: cost.dag load-bearing; emission_provenance.dag secondary;
  other 13+ lenses target-agnostic

Framework discipline anchors per Director corrections:
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt
- feedback_abstraction_layering (sibling canvas)

Sibling canvas (ε path): q-cost-composition-layering-canvas.md authoring
follows. Both canvases together address deeper cross-cutting axis: does
target-context belong .dag-side (β-extended) or emit-side (ε)?

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(proposals): Q-Cost-Composition-Layering canvas (ε substrate-shape question)

Sibling canvas to q-lens-target-context-canvas.md. Director α-revised
supersession at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4400920572 elevated ε path (Rust-side
cost-composition wiring; preserves cost.dag PROXY) from slice-tier to
canvas-tier.

Authored per Q-PAFS template:
- Factoring claim: cost = (target-agnostic-shape SymbolicCost algebra) ×
  (target-specific-values per-primitive realization-cost data loaded Rust-side)
- Test against feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named anchor at
  gunbc#828 c#4400921658): pure objective concepts × language-agnostic
  LanguageSpec × emit-side composition. Compliance test for each layer.
- Pro factoring (ε structurally honest): SymbolicCost algebra is target-
  agnostic at HEAD; Rust-side composition is natural home; #38/#39 substrate-
  already-aligned per Slice 1 finding.
- Con factoring (ε is parallel-representation debt): N parallel Rust-side
  compositions if multiple lenses need target-context; lens-framework
  abstraction stops at substrate boundary; future lenses hit same dilemma.

Mgr provisional reading: factoring honest for COST specifically; NOT
generalizable. ε right framing IF cost is the singular need + factoring
holds. If N>1 target-context-needing lenses surface, β-extended (option
(i) from sibling canvas) becomes the right path.

Director ratification ask: 3-way choice
  (ε) Cost-specific Rust-side composition; preserves cost.dag PROXY
  (β-extended option (i)) Lens<C> refactor for LanguageSpec parameter
  (both sequenced) ε now for cost; β-extended later if N>1

Framework discipline anchors:
- feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named for this canvas)
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline

Canvas-pair complete; sibling canvas + this canvas address the deeper
cross-cutting axis: target-context belongs .dag-side (β-extended) or
emit-side (ε)? Director ratification across both informs T-CostLens
follow-on slice + downstream lens architecture.

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* docs: ε ratified canonical for cost; β-extended deferred to N=2 — gate updates

Director ratification at #2181 #issuecomment-... :
- (ε) RATIFIED standalone for cost composition (canonical-not-transitional)
- (β-extended option (i)) DEFERRED to N=2 trigger event (second lens with
  target-context need beyond cost)
- ("both sequenced") REJECTED as bridge-with-named-dissolution anti-pattern

Same-slice acceptance gates landed:

1. Q-Cost-Composition-Layering canvas: status updated from "ratification
   needed" → "Director-RATIFIED 2026-05-07 (ε standalone; canonical-not-
   transitional); PROPOSAL maturation pending"
2. Q-Lens-Target-Context canvas: status updated from "ratification needed"
   → "DRAFT/DEFERRED 2026-05-07; reopens on N=2 trigger event" (second lens
   with substantive target-context need; emission_provenance most likely
   candidate per cross-cutting analysis §3)
3. r3-program-plan.md gate-table rows #37 + #40 + #70: ε path ratified;
   close via Rust-side composition reading abstract SymbolicCost × per-
   primitive realization-cost in T-CostLens follow-on slice
4. r3-program-plan.md §10.3 T-CostLens-Composition row: ε ratified for
   #37/#40/#70; β-extended deferred per N=2 trigger
5. v3-lens-capability-register.md cost.dag row: ε disposition cited; #2175
   continues as cross-cutting umbrella tracker

Closed-system disposition per Director: if N=2 condition never fires,
β-extended never fires — structurally correct under closed-system design.

Framework discipline anchors honored:
- feedback_abstraction_layering: ε respects layering (objective concepts
  pure; target-specific values flow at emit time per Layer-3 honesty test)
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt: bounded to N=1; reopens at N=2
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline: ε ratified canonical, not
  transitional
- feedback_construction_over_ratchets: substrate-shape question answered
  structurally
- feedback_substrate_principle_audit: substrate-fact authored at canvas-
  tier; ratification follows P1 procedure

* docs(proposals): canvas inventory grounded in live src/v3/lenses/ registry

codex BLOCKING at #2181 (sha 00551a8): Q-Lens-Target-Context
canvas inventory was "copied from expected lens set instead of live
src/v3/lenses/ registry"; emission_provenance trigger references not
grounded in live file content.

Same shape of error as 3 prior BLOCKING reversals (Q-Reification, S5
DeclarationRef, T-CostLens merge-content). Substrate-state-grep is being
treated as retrospective-correction rather than prerequisite. Tightening:
this is the 4th occurrence; should be hard-prerequisite-discipline going
forward.

Fixes:

1. Q-Lens-Target-Context inventory section: replaced approximate "15+
   lens instances" framing with exact `ls`-grep registry (15 .dag files
   listed by name), notes infer_helpers + lower_helpers are helper
   modules authoring shared structural fns rather than top-level lens
   instances.

2. emission_provenance.dag analysis grounded in HEAD file status header:
   STATUS = STRUCTURALLY TERMINAL; LENS-INSTANCE FIXTURE-BOUND; BEHAVIORALLY
   DEFERRED. `read` body is fail-closed Empty stub. Lens does NOT currently
   read target-context inside fold; producer-side instrumentation records
   target-specific entries consumed via standard framework. Reframed as
   "ungrounded at HEAD" rather than "POSSIBLY target-context need" —
   re-evaluates at producer-wiring landing.

3. Net finding: N=1 confirmed at HEAD (cost.dag only); N=2 is empirically
   open pending lens-completion cycles, NOT pre-claimable.

Plus non-blocking improvement: Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 9 stale
`#issuecomment-...` placeholder replaced with concrete ratification
comment id `#issuecomment-4401584012`.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — absorb PM canvas-review concerns 1-3

Director relayed PM canvas review at #2068 c#4401627536:

Concern 1 (RESOLVED via grep-verify): empirical N=1 confirmation. PM ran
`grep -lc 'TypeRealization|CallableRealization|MethodTemplateContract|
target_realization|realization_cost|LanguageSpec' src/v3/lenses/*.dag`;
only cost.dag has 3 hits, all 14 others have 0 refs (including
emission_provenance.dag which I'd previously framed speculatively).

Net-finding §3 updated with grep result inline + "N=1 empirically grounded"
framing replacing speculative "secondary candidate" language. Empirical
basis for DEFERRED β-extended disposition strengthened.

Concern 2 (Option (ii) multiplier framing): per-target lens instances
replicate the entire Lens<C> authoring surface — N×M × 4 (carrier + monoid
sequential + branch + iterate) authoring overhead. Updated Con bullet to
reflect the multiplier explicitly: 3 targets × 1 cost lens × 4 = 12 authored
fns; grows to 36 if 3 lenses need target-context. Cites
feedback_parallel_representation_debt as the P2 framing.

Concern 3 (Option (i) threading cost quantification): replaced narrative
"threading cost is real but manageable" with quantified breakdown — ~15
signature changes + 14 ignore-parameter patterns + 1 consumer + cementing-
test revalidation. Helps future Director ratification at N=2 trigger event.

All 3 amendments are docs-only refinements; ε ratification at gunbc#2181
c#4401584012 unchanged. Strengthens canvas as durable substrate-shape
decision record.

* docs(proposals): canvases — collapse stale ratification-ask sections post-ratification

codex BLOCKING at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): both canvases had stale
"Director ratification ask" sections after status headers were updated to
RATIFIED/DEFERRED. Per INVARIANTS P1 "Documentation Describes Live State" —
canvas internally presented both settled and unsettled authority.

Fixes:

1. Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 69-76: "Director ratification ask"
   section collapsed to "Director ratification (RECEIVED 2026-05-07)" with
   ε ratified, β-extended deferred, "both sequenced" rejected. Three options
   recorded as historical with ratification cite. Eliminates the rejected
   "both, sequenced" line that conflicted with status-header "canonical-not-
   transitional" framing.

2. Q-Lens-Target-Context line 131-136: "Director ratification ask" section
   collapsed to "Director disposition (DEFERRED 2026-05-07; reopens on N=2
   trigger event)". Original ratification asks recorded as FROZEN; revisit
   at N=2 trigger event with then-current substrate-state grep. Eliminates
   live-now-ratify framing that conflicted with status-header DEFERRED.

Both canvases now single live authority — RATIFIED/DEFERRED dispositions,
no internal ratification-ask drift. Future re-ratification (Q-Lens-Target-
Context at N=2 trigger) refreshes options matrix at that point per
substrate-state-honesty discipline.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — separate live N=1 from reopen-only future N=2

openai-pro APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): canvas
line 127 mixed live N=1 authority with speculative N=2 candidate in one
current-state cost count.

Per P1 Documentation Describes Live State + P2 single-authority metadata:
the live count at HEAD is `cost × 3 targets = 3 per-target instances` (× 4
authoring-multiplier per Option (ii) Con = 12 fns). The `emission_provenance
× 3` figure is a reopen-only future scenario that materializes only if
emission_provenance becomes the second real target-context lens at producer-
wiring landing time.

Updated to separate the two clearly: live count + reopen-only future
scenario marked separately. Aligns with the grep-verified N=1 finding
established earlier in canvas §3.

* docs(proposals): Q-Complexity-Composition-Layering canvas — DRAFT (factoring tested, ε precedent does NOT apply)

Director authorized canvas authoring at #828 c#4402669133 as
parallel structure to Q-Cost-Composition-Layering (ε RATIFIED). Substrate-
grep on src/v3/lenses/complexity.dag at HEAD shows the factoring claim
DIFFERS from cost-lens:

- Cost-lens needed (target-agnostic shape × target-specific values)
  factoring → Rust-side composition (ε)
- Complexity-lens has NO target-specific axis; output is structural
  property of DAG topology + algebra-instance composition; substrate-
  native fully-on-.dag-side completion

Mgr provisional reading: ε precedent does NOT apply; complexity-lens
BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION is direct slice-tier substrate authoring (carrier
introduction follows SymbolicCost precedent + T-E-P P1 carrier
consumption). Director ratification ask: Q1 (factoring finding correct),
Q2 (slice-tier directly bypassing canvas), Q3 (fresh worker pin).

Cross-Mgr: Verification Mgr (#2075) pinged on v2-oracle snapshot capture
status (cross-cutting prerequisite for #1950/#1951 cementing dispatch).

* docs(briefs): T-LBP complexity-lens substrate-completion worker brief (Q1/Q2/Q3 RATIFIED)

Pre-authored brief for complexity-lens BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION substrate
work per Director Q1/Q2/Q3 ratification at #828 c#4402714255.

Three deliverables: carrier introduction (ComplexityCost / WorkSpan /
AsymptoticClass following SymbolicCost precedent) + lens widening
(complexity.dag PROXY → COMPLETE) + T-E-P P1 carrier consumption
(DescentEvidence / CallPattern / SubValueRelation for asymptotic
classification of recursive-call behavior).

Indirect-variant dependency surfaced as worker-grep concern at slice-
authoring time (T-E-P P1 Slice 5+ pending; eager-bat-178 stream).

Cementing test (#1950) is separate downstream brief; v2-oracle snapshot
ownership pending Q4 cross-Mgr ratification.

Worker pin: fresh-pool pick at dispatch time (NOT eager-bat-178 per
Director Q3 framing; NOT fierce-ram-21 busy with cost-lens ε).

Same-window-dispatch discipline applies post-canvas-merge (PR #2197).

* docs(briefs): rewrite complexity-lens brief consuming live design authority (codex BLOCKING fix)

Codex BLOCKING (3 findings) at #2199 sha 7a8bb6d:
1. Brief authored against missing canvas instead of reconciling with
   docs/design-complexity-lens-behavioral-completeness.md (which exists
   at HEAD with comprehensive substrate spec)
2. Producer coverage treated as optional corpus scope; should be hard
   T-E-P-Producer-Broadening prerequisite
3. Stale/non-in-repo planning authority cited; should be r3-structure.md
   row 146 (T-LBP slice 1)

All three BLOCKING findings VALID — substrate-grep-before-authoring
discipline failure on my part (feedback_substrate_grep_before_authoring
already memorialized; violated own discipline).

Rewrite delegates carrier shape, dimension wiring, and consumer rewrite
to live design doc §§1.1-1.6 verbatim:
- §1.1 SymbolicCost — already at algebra.dag; no change
- §1.2 SizeVariable — display_name enrichment
- §1.3 work_dimension + span_dimension — two AnalysisDimension instances
- §1.4 AsymptoticClass + BoundedLattice instance
- §1.5 Certainty (cost-aware composition; no lattice)
- §1.6 cost_bound_to_symbolic projection
- §1.7 ComplexitySummary record + lens widening

T-E-P P1 hard prerequisite per design's authority discipline + r3-
structure.md row 146; STOP-and-PING if T-E-P P1 not COMPLETE at slice
authoring time. Authority cites updated to live r3-structure.md row 146.

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan.file brief — umbrella stays Open per P2 ledger discipline

Address BLOCKING inline review at line 46: bridge_source_span_file_participation_retired
is an Open umbrella whose green predicate is "no production code path consults
SourceSpan.file" per r3-structure.md:115. Partial retirement was explicitly
rejected 2026-04-29 (Director acceptance #1130 / dispatch #1139).

Changes:
- Add Ledger-discipline preamble: umbrella row stays Open; receipt updates
  audit-packet enumeration, NOT bridge_ledger.dag.
- Acceptance #3 reframed: do NOT mutate bridge_ledger.dag; mark rows #2 + #6
  retired in the audit packet only.
- Authority anchor updated: status=Open (not Proposed); add r3-structure.md:115
  + bridge_ledger.dag:125-129 line refs.
- Cross-Mgr section reframed: umbrella ratchet cannot flip on this PR alone;
  Verification's ledger-zero audit progress field is post-merge tracking,
  not a same-slice pre-merge blocker. Reconciles with BLOCKING finding
  (Director calibration #1 assumed umbrella ratchet could flip on partial
  retirement, which r3-structure.md:115 forbids).

* docs(briefs): S5 — delete superseded canvas + name dissolution trigger for tag_field asymmetry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings (P2 single-authority
+ P5 dissolution trigger).

Fixes:
1. Delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s5-variant-aware-projection-carrier-canvas.md
   (superseded by the γ-ratified worker brief in same PR; would otherwise leave
   two current-looking S5 status authorities post-merge — one saying ratification
   pending, one saying γ ratified).
2. Substrate observation #3 (tag_field String/FieldRef asymmetry) now carries a
   binding named dissolution trigger: when FieldRef exists as top-level carrier
   AND InputFieldRef is classified, migrate InternallyTaggedObject.tag_field via
   follow-on Substrate hygiene PR. Worker MUST add debt-paydown row to authoritative
   debt ledger before merging carrier-introduction PR.

* docs(r3): Q-Reification row — fix invariant cite (C-1 → P2)

cursor review at gunbc#2079 #issuecomment-... flagged C-1 as mis-keyed:
INVARIANTS.md C-1 is "missing args fail closed; no LitNull sentinels" (P3
fail-closed family), not parallel-representation/duplicate-authority. The
correct cite for rejecting a parallel ReflectedProgram<T> alongside Dag is
P2 single authority (INVARIANTS.md line 148: cost of change is proportional
to how many files encode the same fact).

Cite updated to "INVARIANTS.md P2 single authority" with inline gloss.

* docs(briefs): S5 — name dissolution trigger for DeclarationRef alias debt

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: substrate observation #1 had desired
endpoint ("future structural promotion of DeclarationRef") but no checkable
dissolution trigger — same P5 gap that #3 (tag_field asymmetry) had been fixed
for in commit 2601d7d.

Trigger now binding: promote DeclarationRef when EITHER
  (a) audit-row #14 (declaration_name_preference_rank / declaration_by_name
      rank-table) closes — dsl/std ↔ src/v3/std module convergence makes
      name-keyed identity unambiguous and structural module identity available,
  OR
  (b) any DeclarationRef-typed consumer surfaces a string-identity bridge per
      feedback_opaque_strings_attract_heuristics (heuristic patching, naming-
      convention dispatch, suffix/prefix matching).

Worker MUST add debt-paydown row before merging carrier-introduction PR (same
pattern as the tag_field debt requirement).

* docs: complete Q-Reification stale-cite sweep — e6-g1a brief :169 + Q-PAFS row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md:169
still said TC1/V1 "waits for Q-Reification and the carrier landing", contradicting
the same brief's lines 15-19 + 148-153 saying Dag IS the carrier and no separate
carrier lands.

Fixed:
1. e6-g1a brief line 167-170 paragraph: clarified V1 waits for consumer-wiring
   work (lens fold consuming Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator), NOT
   for a carrier-introduction.
2. r3-program-plan.md:954 Q-PAFS row text was the same shape: "Resume after
   Q-Reification + ReflectedProgram<T>" — contradicted my new Q-Reification row
   in the same diff. Updated: Q-Reification STOP CLEARED 2026-05-07 (Option A);
   remaining hold = Branch B η non-vacuity only.

Out-of-scope-for-this-PR: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-feasibility-probe.md
contains 4 stale cites but is not modified in this PR; stale-on-main can be
swept in a follow-up if needed (single source of truth is the e6-g1a-static-lens
worker brief, not the feasibility probe per Q-PAFS Path A acceptance).

* docs(briefs): S5 — fix InputFieldRef mis-read; reframe observations #2 + #3

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079 line 22: my brief mis-read services.dag:28-36.
The text actually says "No separate InputFieldRef carrier is introduced here,
since ParamToken.name already carries the same shape and adding a wrapper would
duplicate without strengthening the structural invariant" — i.e., InputFieldRef
does NOT exist; the comment REJECTS the wrapper.

Fixes:
1. Substrate observation #2 reframed: no FieldRef-shaped carrier exists at HEAD;
   services.dag:28-36 precedent argues against wrapper unless it strengthens
   structural invariant. New (a)/(b) STOP-and-PING:
   (a) follow services.dag precedent — wire_tag_field: String + key invariant
       on wire_tag_values + fixture-load fail-closed check;
   (b) introduce typed FieldRef — must justify per "duplicate without
       strengthening" test.
2. Carrier shape (line 19): wire_tag_field: FieldRef → {String|FieldRef}
   pending observation #2 resolution.
3. Substrate observation #3 reframed: InternallyTaggedObject asymmetry is
   conditional on path (b); under path (a) no asymmetry exists. Trigger
   correspondingly conditional. Removed stale "InputFieldRef classified" trigger
   clause.

* docs(briefs): S5 — consolidate split per-variant maps into single keyed entry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: CoproductProjection shape split
per-variant data across two parallel maps (variant_field_projections +
wire_tag_values), admitting illegal states where keysets drift (P2 boundary
discipline / illegal-states-unrepresentable).

Fix: introduce CoproductVariantProjection { field_projection, wire_tag_value }
as the per-variant keyed value; CoproductProjection.variant_projections becomes
Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection>. Single keyed authority per variant.

Director's binding constraint #2 enumerated the two fields separately but said
"refine in implementation as ergonomics demand" — consolidation preserves the
substantive constraints (typed WireTagValue leaf, structural per-variant
projection) while enforcing keyset alignment by carrier shape.

Empty-payload variants encoded via FieldProjection::Empty constructor (or
analog), not via map-absence.

* docs(briefs): S5 — fix stale split-map vocab in path (a) + scope STOP-and-PING umbrella

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings.

1. Path (a) at line 43 still referenced "Map<VariantId, WireTagValue> key invariant
   on wire_tag_values" — that's the superseded split-map vocab; the consolidated
   shape is Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection> on variant_projections.
   Path (a) now references the consolidated map; per-variant WireTagValue lives
   inside CoproductVariantProjection.

2. Pre-ratification umbrella at line 36 said "all 3 dispositions pre-ratified,
   proceed without re-pinging" — but observation #2 was re-opened after the
   codex InputFieldRef finding and explicitly says STOP-and-PING. Contradictory.
   Umbrella now scoped: observations #1 + #3 are pre-ratified; #2 is re-opened
   STOP-and-PING — worker MUST escalate before choosing path (a) vs (b).

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof canvas — 4-residual coproduct-dissolution audit

Director ratified split disposition at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394696074:
descent_execution_proof STANDS ALONE (consumer-side termination-contract
substrate function with fail-closed residual enumeration; folding into
T-E-P-Producer-Broadening explicitly rejected — different concern axis).

Canvas surfaces 3 carrier-shape options for the residual enumeration per
Director's coproduct-dissolution audit suggestion:

α: 4-variant coproduct verbatim from §10.3 row 966 (Missing | Unknown |
   Incomplete | NonStrict)
β: 3-axis dimensional product (presence × completeness × strictness)
γ (recommended): reuse DescentEvidence at termination.dag:14-17 for
   "absent/unknown" via EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) payload-variant +
   separate EvidenceIncomplete — ratchets variant count 4 → 2 via dimensional
   folding while honoring services.dag "no parallel wrapper" precedent.

Mgr recommendation γ; β rejected unless 3 axes provably compose orthogonally.

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan brief Row #6 — derive from bootstrap_authority map, no new enum variant

codex BLOCKING (post-merge of #2079, on commit 85ceb85 — same brief is now on
main): my Row #6 disposition told the worker to introduce a new
BootstrapAuthority::Pipeline variant ("extend the enum if needed"). That
violates P2 single-authority — src/v3/std/bootstrap_authority.dag:90 already
has "src/v3/compiler/pipeline.dag": CompilerAuthority, classifying pipeline.dag
under the existing CompilerAuthority variant. The :14-17 comment is explicit:
"the path itself is the BootstrapAuthoritySet map key; variants carry no
duplicate path payload" — single authority, not extension-by-variant.

Fix: Row #6 now instructs worker to derive the typed key from the existing
bootstrap_authority-map witness (BootstrapAuthorityKey threading the existing
CompilerAuthority classifier), refining the constructor surface if needed —
NOT introducing a new enum variant. STOP-and-PING criteria updated to forbid
new-variant resolution under any path.

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof worker brief — γ ratified (2-variant residual)

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395060514:
- DescentResidual = EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) | EvidenceIncomplete
  (4 → 2 dissolution: Missing+Unknown fold via DescentUnknown injection;
  NonStrict folds via NonIncreasing wrap; Incomplete retained — different
  concern axis from evidence-lattice)
- DescentEvidence 3-variant lattice at termination.dag:14-17 confirmed as
  authoritative composition target
- Type signature from §10.3 row 966 confirmed verbatim-binding

Director-asked canvas-shape verification absorbed: worker STOPs if
EvidenceIncomplete decomposes into payload-variants (timeout / depth-bound /
evaluator-error-during-proof-construction); proceeds as 2-variant otherwise.

7 same-slice acceptance gates incl Evaluator E2 #1971 consumer wiring in same

Worker pin: quick-koi-190 (pre-authorized per §10.3 row 966).

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — narrow EvidenceUnknown payload via NonStrictEvidence subset; delete superseded canvas

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2105: 2 findings.

1. BLOCKING (LAYER MODEL / illegal states unrepresentable): worker brief
   shape `EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence)` admitted EvidenceUnknown(Strict)
   even though the canvas itself acknowledged Strict-isn't-a-residual as
   illegal. P2 requires API-level enforcement, not prose convention.

   Fix: introduce typed subset `NonStrictEvidence = NonIncreasing |
   DescentUnknown`; residual now `EvidenceUnknown(NonStrictEvidence)` —
   illegal-states-unrepresentable by construction. NonStrictEvidence lands in
   same file as DescentResidual; composes with existing 3-variant
   DescentEvidence via inhabitation, not re-definition.

2. NON-BLOCKING (live-state drift): canvas + worker brief both visible with
   "ratification needed" vs "ratified" status — same P2 single-authority
   shape as the S5 canvas/worker-brief co-existence at #2079.

   Fix: delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-descent-execution-proof-canvas.md
   (worker brief frontmatter already names it as superseded; with canvas
   gone the live authority is unambiguous).

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — section-anchor cite for §10.3 row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2105 line 47: my brief cited "§10.3 row 966" but the
actual line is now 986 (after my Q-Reification row insert in PR #2079 shifted
§10.3 by 20 lines). Reviewer's "no such section" claim is wrong on substance
(file + section + row all exist) but the line drift IS real.

Fix per feedback_section_anchors_over_line_numbers (Director calibration in
gunbc#2079): replaced all "§10.3 row 966" with "§10.3 Q-EVAL-Descent-
Termination-Contract row" — name-anchor instead of line-anchor, drift-immune.
5 occurrences cleaned (closure predicate, acceptance gate #3, gate #5, STOP
criterion, worker pin justification). Stylistic "row row-text" repetition
collapsed to "row text".

* docs(briefs): T-CostLens-Composition canvas — Lens<SymbolicCost> composition shape (#1957)

Pre-staged per Director endorsement of T-CostLens-Composition canvas-shape
authoring. Surfaces 3 composition options for the Lens<SymbolicCost> instance:

α: two separate lenses, externally joined — REJECTED (violates §1.8 gate #39
   no_coercion_cost_dimension by construction)
β: single Lens<SymbolicCost> with composed witness in read — strong but
   requires Lens<C> carrier-shape refactor (target-context threading)
γ (recommended): Lens<SymbolicCost> reads structural cost via algebra-fold +
   target-realization composed via existing Lookup<SymbolicCost> substrate at
   lookup.dag:48-60 — preserves generic Lens<C> carrier; satisfies all 4 §1.8
   gates (#37-40) by construction; aligns with feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first

Adjacent substrate verified at HEAD: lens.dag:70-77 (Lens<C>), algebra.dag:12+

dsl/extdeps/github/actions.dag (218 lines). Only WorkflowSecret<Name> is
wholly net-new substrate.

Surfaces 3 options:
α: maximalist 5-carrier introduction in dsl/std/workflow.dag — REJECTED
   (admits parallel-representation debt vs audit-receipt #1771 reuse-first
   directive)
β (recommended): minimalist — only WorkflowSecret<Name> + Cron<Schedule>
   refinement net-new; lens consumes extdeps.github.actions directly. Honors
   feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first.
γ: like β + WorkflowObservationAnchor for typed lens-consumption-shape;
   natural ratchet from β if evidence accumulates.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context canvas (β-extended substrate-shape question)

Director α-revised supersession at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4400920572 elevated
β-extended path (introduce first-precedent .dag-side fold-over-realization-rows
+ name active-target authority shape) from slice-tier to canvas-tier.

Authored per Q-PAFS template:
- Substrate-state at HEAD grep-verified (Lens<C>.read no target-context;
  zero .dag-side fold-over-realizations precedent; 15+ lens instances using
  generic Lens<C>)
- Binary question: should .dag-side lenses receive target-context for
  target-keyed reading?
- Options matrix: (i) LanguageSpec param to fold; (ii) per-target lens
  instances [parallel-representation debt]; (iii) global accessor [REJECTED
  global-state anti-pattern]
- Mgr provisional preference: (i)
- Cross-cutting: cost.dag load-bearing; emission_provenance.dag secondary;
  other 13+ lenses target-agnostic

Framework discipline anchors per Director corrections:
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt
- feedback_abstraction_layering (sibling canvas)

Sibling canvas (ε path): q-cost-composition-layering-canvas.md authoring
follows. Both canvases together address deeper cross-cutting axis: does
target-context belong .dag-side (β-extended) or emit-side (ε)?

* docs(proposals): Q-Cost-Composition-Layering canvas (ε substrate-shape question)

Sibling canvas to q-lens-target-context-canvas.md. Director α-revised
supersession at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4400920572 elevated ε path (Rust-side
cost-composition wiring; preserves cost.dag PROXY) from slice-tier to
canvas-tier.

Authored per Q-PAFS template:
- Factoring claim: cost = (target-agnostic-shape SymbolicCost algebra) ×
  (target-specific-values per-primitive realization-cost data loaded Rust-side)
- Test against feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named anchor at
  gunbc#828 c#4400921658): pure objective concepts × language-agnostic
  LanguageSpec × emit-side composition. Compliance test for each layer.
- Pro factoring (ε structurally honest): SymbolicCost algebra is target-
  agnostic at HEAD; Rust-side composition is natural home; #38/#39 substrate-
  already-aligned per Slice 1 finding.
- Con factoring (ε is parallel-representation debt): N parallel Rust-side
  compositions if multiple lenses need target-context; lens-framework
  abstraction stops at substrate boundary; future lenses hit same dilemma.

Mgr provisional reading: factoring honest for COST specifically; NOT
generalizable. ε right framing IF cost is the singular need + factoring
holds. If N>1 target-context-needing lenses surface, β-extended (option
(i) from sibling canvas) becomes the right path.

Director ratification ask: 3-way choice
  (ε) Cost-specific Rust-side composition; preserves cost.dag PROXY
  (β-extended option (i)) Lens<C> refactor for LanguageSpec parameter
  (both sequenced) ε now for cost; β-extended later if N>1

Framework discipline anchors:
- feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named for this canvas)
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline

Canvas-pair complete; sibling canvas + this canvas address the deeper
cross-cutting axis: target-context belongs .dag-side (β-extended) or
emit-side (ε)? Director ratification across both informs T-CostLens
follow-on slice + downstream lens architecture.

* docs: ε ratified canonical for cost; β-extended deferred to N=2 — gate updates

Director ratification at #2181 #issuecomment-... :
- (ε) RATIFIED standalone for cost composition (canonical-not-transitional)
- (β-extended option (i)) DEFERRED to N=2 trigger event (second lens with
  target-context need beyond cost)

* docs(proposals): canvas inventory grounded in live src/v3/lenses/ registry

codex BLOCKING at #2181 (sha 00551a8): Q-Lens-Target-Context
canvas inventory was "copied from expected lens set instead of live

treated as retrospective-correction rather than prerequisite. Tightening:
this is the 4th occurrence; should be hard-prerequisite-discipline going
forward.

Fixes:

1. Q-Lens-Target-Context inventory section: replaced approximate "15+
   lens instances" framing with exact `ls`-grep registry (15 .dag files
   listed by name), notes infer_helpers + lower_helpers are helper
   modules authoring shared structural fns rather than top-level lens
   instances.

2. emission_provenance.dag analysis grounded in HEAD file status header:
   STATUS = STRUCTURALLY TERMINAL; LENS-INSTANCE FIXTURE-BOUND; BEHAVIORALLY
   DEFERRED. `read` body is fail-closed Empty stub. Lens does NOT currently
   read target-context inside fold; producer-side instrumentation records
   target-specific entries consumed via standard framework. Reframed as
   "ungrounded at HEAD" rather than "POSSIBLY target-context need" —
   re-evaluates at producer-wiring landing.

3. Net finding: N=1 confirmed at HEAD (cost.dag only); N=2 is empirically
   open pending lens-completion cycles, NOT pre-claimable.

Plus non-blocking improvement: Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 9 stale
`#issuecomment-...` placeholder replaced with concrete ratification
comment id `#issuecomment-4401584012`.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — absorb PM canvas-review concerns 1-3

Director relayed PM canvas review at #2068 c#4401627536:

Concern 1 (RESOLVED via grep-verify): empirical N=1 confirmation. PM ran
`grep -lc 'TypeRealization|CallableRealization|MethodTemplateContract|
target_realization|realization_cost|LanguageSpec' src/v3/lenses/*.dag`;
only cost.dag has 3 hits, all 14 others have 0 refs (including
emission_provenance.dag which I'd previously framed speculatively).

Net-finding §3 updated with grep result inline + "N=1 empirically grounded"
framing replacing speculative "secondary candidate" language. Empirical
basis for DEFERRED β-extended disposition strengthened.

Concern 2 (Option (ii) multiplier framing): per-target lens instances
replicate the entire Lens<C> authoring surface — N×M × 4 (carrier + monoid
sequential + branch + iterate) authoring overhead. Updated Con bullet to
reflect the multiplier explicitly: 3 targets × 1 cost lens × 4 = 12 authored
fns; grows to 36 if 3 lenses need target-context. Cites
feedback_parallel_representation_debt as the P2 framing.

Concern 3 (Option (i) threading cost quantification): replaced narrative
"threading cost is real but manageable" with quantified breakdown — ~15
signature changes + 14 ignore-parameter patterns + 1 consumer + cementing-
test revalidation. Helps future Director ratification at N=2 trigger event.

All 3 amendments are docs-only refinements; ε ratification at gunbc#2181
c#4401584012 unchanged. Strengthens canvas as durable substrate-shape
decision record.

* docs(proposals): canvases — collapse stale ratification-ask sections post-ratification

codex BLOCKING at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): both canvases had stale
"Director ratification ask" sections after status headers were updated to
RATIFIED/DEFERRED. Per INVARIANTS P1 "Documentation Describes Live State" —
canvas internally presented both settled and unsettled authority.

Fixes:

1. Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 69-76: "Director ratification ask"
   section collapsed to "Director ratification (RECEIVED 2026-05-07)" with
   ε ratified, β-extended deferred, "both sequenced" rejected. Three options
   recorded as historical with ratification cite. Eliminates the rejected
   "both, sequenced" line that conflicted with status-header "canonical-not-
   transitional" framing.

2. Q-Lens-Target-Context line 131-136: "Director ratification ask" section
   collapsed to "Director disposition (DEFERRED 2026-05-07; reopens on N=2
   trigger event)". Original ratification asks recorded as FROZEN; revisit
   at N=2 trigger event with then-current substrate-state grep. Eliminates
   live-now-ratify framing that conflicted with status-header DEFERRED.

Both canvases now single live authority — RATIFIED/DEFERRED dispositions,
no internal ratification-ask drift. Future re-ratification (Q-Lens-Target-
Context at N=2 trigger) refreshes options matrix at that point per
substrate-state-honesty discipline.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — separate live N=1 from reopen-only future N=2

openai-pro APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): canvas
line 127 mixed live N=1 authority with speculative N=2 candidate in one
current-state cost count.

Per P1 Documentation Describes Live State + P2 single-authority metadata:
the live count at HEAD is `cost × 3 targets = 3 per-target instances` (× 4
authoring-multiplier per Option (ii) Con = 12 fns). The `emission_provenance
× 3` figure is a reopen-only future scenario that materializes only if
emission_provenance becomes the second real target-context lens at producer-
wiring landing time.

Updated to separate the two clearly: live count + reopen-only future
scenario marked separately. Aligns with the grep-verified N=1 finding
established earlier in canvas §3.

* docs(proposals): Q-Complexity-Composition-Layering canvas — DRAFT (factoring tested, ε precedent does NOT apply)

Director authorized canvas authoring at #828 c#4402669133 as
parallel structure to Q-Cost-Composition-Layering (ε RATIFIED). Substrate-
grep on src/v3/lenses/complexity.dag at HEAD shows the factoring claim
DIFFERS from cost-lens:

- Cost-lens needed (target-agnostic shape × target-specific values)
  factoring → Rust-side composition (ε)
- Complexity-lens has NO target-specific axis; output is structural
  property of DAG topology + algebra-instance composition; substrate-
  native fully-on-.dag-side completion

Mgr provisional reading: ε precedent does NOT apply; complexity-lens
BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION is direct slice-tier substrate authoring (carrier
introduction follows SymbolicCost precedent + T-E-P P1 carrier
consumption). Director ratification ask: Q1 (factoring finding correct),
Q2 (slice-tier directly bypassing canvas), Q3 (fresh worker pin).

Cross-Mgr: Verification Mgr (#2075) pinged on v2-oracle snapshot capture
status (cross-cutting prerequisite for #1950/#1951 cementing dispatch).

Pre-authored brief for complexity-lens BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION substrate
work per Director Q1/Q2/Q3 ratification at #828 c#4402714255.

Three deliverables: carrier introduction (ComplexityCost / WorkSpan /
AsymptoticClass following SymbolicCost precedent) + lens widening
(complexity.dag PROXY → COMPLETE) + T-E-P P1 carrier consumption
(DescentEvidence / CallPattern / SubValueRelation for asymptotic
classification of recursive-call behavior).

Indirect-variant dependency surfaced as worker-grep concern at slice-
authoring time (T-E-P P1 Slice 5+ pending; eager-bat-178 stream).

Cementing test (#1950) is separate downstream brief; v2-oracle snapshot
ownership pending Q4 cross-Mgr ratification.

Worker pin: fresh-pool pick at dispatch time (NOT eager-bat-178 per
Director Q3 framing; NOT fierce-ram-21 busy with cost-lens ε).

* docs(briefs): rewrite complexity-lens brief consuming live design authority (codex BLOCKING fix)

Codex BLOCKING (3 findings) at #2199 sha 7a8bb6d:
1. Brief authored against missing canvas instead of reconciling with
   docs/design-complexity-lens-behavioral-completeness.md (which exists
   at HEAD with comprehensive substrate spec)
2. Producer coverage treated as optional corpus scope; should be hard
   T-E-P-Producer-Broadening prerequisite
3. Stale/non-in-repo planning authority cited; should be r3-structure.md
   row 146 (T-LBP slice 1)

All three BLOCKING findings VALID — substrate-grep-before-authoring
discipline failure on my part (feedback_substrate_grep_before_authoring
already memorialized; violated own discipline).

Rewrite delegates carrier shape, dimension wiring, and consumer rewrite
to live design doc §§1.1-1.6 verbatim:
- §1.1 SymbolicCost — already at algebra.dag; no change
- §1.2 SizeVariable — display_name enrichment
- §1.3 work_dimension + span_dimension — two AnalysisDimension instances
- §1.4 AsymptoticClass + BoundedLattice instance
- §1.5 Certainty (cost-aware composition; no lattice)
- §1.6 cost_bound_to_symbolic projection
- §1.7 ComplexitySummary record + lens widening

T-E-P P1 hard prerequisite per design's authority discipline + r3-
structure.md row 146; STOP-and-PING if T-E-P P1 not COMPLETE at slice
authoring time. Authority cites updated to live r3-structure.md row 146.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas — DRAFT (canvas-tier P1 procedure per Q6 RATIFIED)

Director Q6 RATIFIED canvas-tier-required at #828 c#4403163639
for PerfWithinBaseline TestPredicate variant authoring. Three substantive
substrate-shape questions resolved:

Q1 baseline shape: (a) literal-Int rejected as strict-mirror-of-CostBounded
defeats semantic load; (b) DeclarationRef-to-stored-data composes
LensOutputEquals + data X: SymbolicCost precedent at HEAD; (c) runtime-
fixture-injection over-authors. Mgr lean (b).

Q2 ComparisonOp composition: (i) reuse existing ComparisonOp via test-
runner-side resolution matches LensOutputEquals path; (ii) new relative-
op-set introduces parallel-representation debt. Mgr lean (i).

Q3 baseline-storage scope: (α) in-scope slice authors example data; (β)
out-of-scope variant-only slice + PB consumer authors baseline data
matches existing layering. Mgr lean (β).

Combined Mgr lean: Q1(b) + Q2(i) + Q3(β) — variant authored as
compositional extension; baseline-storage is PB consumer-tier work.

Cross-Mgr: PB Mgr #2138 worker (crisp-swift-433) holds dispatch on #2204
land; T-Tier3-Dissolution #2085 R-4 prereq encoded.

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan.file brief — umbrella stays Open per P2 ledger discipline

Address BLOCKING inline review at line 46: bridge_source_span_file_participation_retired

SourceSpan.file" per r3-structure.md:115. Partial retirement was explicitly
rejected 2026-04-29 (Director acceptance #1130 / dispatch #1139).

Changes:
- Add Ledger-discipline preamble: umbrella row stays Open; receipt updates
  audit-packet enumeration, NOT bridge_ledger.dag.
- Acceptance #3 reframed: do NOT mutate bridge_ledger.dag; mark rows #2 + #6
  retired in the audit packet only.
- Authority anchor updated: status=Open (not Proposed); add r3-structure.md:115
  + bridge_ledger.dag:125-129 line refs.
- Cross-Mgr section reframed: umbrella ratchet cannot flip on this PR alone;
  Verification's ledger-zero audit progress field is post-merge tracking,
  not a same-slice pre-merge blocker. Reconciles with BLOCKING finding
  (Director calibration #1 assumed umbrella ratchet could flip on partial
  retirement, which r3-structure.md:115 forbids).

Resolution: Acceptance #4 reframed to explicitly state "No umbrella-ratchet

Gate A patches:
1. r3-program-plan.md §10.3: new Q-Reification row marked RATIFIED with PR #2096
   merge link + Gate A receipt scope (this PR + #1960 closed-as-non-addition).
2. r3-v-pattern-a-tc1-v1-worker.md: 3 sites — status header (Q-Reification
   CLEARED, Branch B η non-vacuity remains), worker-pin gate, E6-G1.a/E3
   producer dependency. Replaces ReflectedProgram<T> with consumer-wiring
   nuance: lens fold consumes Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator.
3. r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md: 2 sites — same nuance: deferred
   work is consumer-wiring, NOT a separate carrier.
4. r3-pr-e8-w1-producer-contract-test-plan-worker.md: 1 site — fold-over-Dag

   AND InputFieldRef is classified, migrate InternallyTaggedObject.tag_field via
   follow-on Substrate hygiene PR. Worker MUST add debt-paydown row to authoritative

for in commit 2601d7d.

Trigger now binding: promote DeclarationRef when EITHER
  (a) audit-row #14 (declaration_name_preference_rank / declaration_by_name
      rank-table) closes — dsl/std ↔ src/v3/std module convergence makes
      name-keyed identity unambiguous and structural module identity available,
  OR
  (b) any DeclarationRef-typed consumer surfaces a string-identity bridge per
      feedback_opaque_strings_attract_heuristics (heuristic patching, naming-

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md:169
still said TC1/V1 "waits for Q-Reification and the carrier landing", contradicting
the same brief's lines 15-19 + 148-153 saying Dag IS the carrier and no separate
carrier lands.

Fixed:
1. e6-g1a brief line 167-170 paragraph: clarified V1 waits for consumer-wiring
   work (lens fold consuming Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator), NOT
   for a carrier-introduction.
2. r3-program-plan.md:954 Q-PAFS row text was the same shape: "Resume after
   Q-Reification + ReflectedProgram<T>" — contradicted my new Q-Reification row
   in the same diff. Updated: Q-Reification STOP CLEARED 2026-05-07 (Option A);

* docs(briefs): S5 — fix InputFieldRef mis-read; reframe observations #2 + #3

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079 line 22: my brief mis-read services.dag:28-36.
The text actually says "No separate InputFieldRef carrier is introduced here,
since ParamToken.name already carries the same shape and adding a wrapper would
duplicate without strengthening the structural invariant" — i.e., InputFieldRef
does NOT exist; the comment REJECTS the wrapper.

Fixes:
1. Substrate observation #2 reframed: no FieldRef-shaped carrier exists at HEAD;
   services.dag:28-36 precedent argues against wrapper unless it strengthens
   structural invariant. New (a)/(b) STOP-and-PING:
   (a) follow services.dag precedent — wire_tag_field: String + key invariant
       on wire_tag_values + fixture-load fail-closed check;
   (b) introduce typed FieldRef — must justify per "duplicate without
       strengthening" test.
2. Carrier shape (line 19): wire_tag_field: FieldRef → {String|FieldRef}
   pending observation #2 resolution.
3. Substrate observation #3 reframed: InternallyTaggedObject asymmetry is
   conditional on path (b); under path (a) no asymmetry exists. Trigger
   correspondingly conditional. Removed stale "InputFieldRef classified" trigger
   clause.

* docs(briefs): S5 — consolidate split per-variant maps into single keyed entry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: CoproductProjection shape split
per-variant data across two parallel maps (variant_field_projections +
wire_tag_values), admitting illegal states where keysets drift (P2 boundary
discipline / illegal-states-unrepresentable).

Fix: introduce CoproductVariantProjection { field_projection, wire_tag_value }
as the per-variant keyed value; CoproductProjection.variant_projections becomes
Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection>. Single keyed authority per variant.

Director's binding constraint #2 enumerated the two fields separately but said
"refine in implementation as ergonomics demand" — consolidation preserves the
substantive constraints (typed WireTagValue leaf, structural per-variant
projection) while enforcing keyset alignment by carrier shape.

Empty-payload variants encoded via FieldProjection::Empty constructor (or
analog), not via map-absence.

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings.

1. Path (a) at line 43 still referenced "Map<VariantId, WireTagValue> key invariant
   on wire_tag_values" — that's the superseded split-map vocab; the consolidated
   shape is Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection> on variant_projections.
   Path (a) now references the consolidated map; per-variant WireTagValue lives
   inside CoproductVariantProjection.

2. Pre-ratification umbrella at line 36 said "all 3 dispositions pre-ratified,
   proceed without re-pinging" — but observation #2 was re-opened after the
   codex InputFieldRef finding and explicitly says STOP-and-PING. Contradictory.
   Umbrella now scoped: observations #1 + #3 are pre-ratified; #2 is re-opened
   STOP-and-PING — worker MUST escalate before choosing path (a) vs (b).

duplicate path payload" — single authority, not extension-by-variant.

Fix: Row #6 now instructs worker to derive the typed key from the existing
bootstrap_authority-map witness (BootstrapAuthorityKey threading the existing
CompilerAuthority classifier), refining the constructor surface if needed —
NOT introducing a new enum variant. STOP-and-PING criteria updated to forbid
new-variant resolution under any path.

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof worker brief — γ ratified (2-variant residual)

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395060514:
- DescentResidual = EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) | EvidenceIncomplete
  (4 → 2 dissolution: Missing+Unknown fold via DescentUnknown injection;
  NonStrict folds via NonIncreasing wrap; Incomplete retained — different
  concern axis from evidence-lattice)
- DescentEvidence 3-variant lattice at termination.dag:14-17 confirmed as
  authoritative composition target
- Type signature from §10.3 row 966 confirmed verbatim-binding

Director-asked canvas-shape verification absorbed: worker STOPs if
EvidenceIncomplete decomposes into payload-variants (timeout / depth-bound /
evaluator-error-during-proof-construction); proceeds as 2-variant otherwise.

7 same-slice acceptance gates incl Evaluator E2 #1971 consumer wiring in same
PR + §10.3 row 966 row-text refresh to cite γ-disposition.

Worker pin: quick-koi-190 (pre-authorized per §10.3 row 966).

Auto-spawn HOLD per L-sized threshold; surgical-recreate path ratified
case-by-case if critical path blocked.

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — narrow EvidenceUnknown payload via NonStrictEvidence subset; delete superseded canvas

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2105: 2 findings.

1. BLOCKING (LAYER MODEL / illegal states unrepresentable): worker brief
   shape `EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence)` admitted EvidenceUnknown(Strict)
   even though the canvas itself acknowledged Strict-isn't-a-residual as
   illegal. P2 requires API-level enforcement, not prose convention.

   Fix: introduce typed subset `NonStrictEvidence = NonIncreasing |
   DescentUnknown`; residual now `EvidenceUnknown(NonStrictEvidence)` —
   illegal-states-unrepresentable by construction. NonStrictEvidence lands in
   same file as DescentResidual; composes with existing 3-variant
   DescentEvidence via inhabitation, not re-definition.

2. NON-BLOCKING (live-state drift): canvas + worker brief both visible with
   "ratification needed" vs "ratified" status — same P2 single-authority
   shape as the S5 canvas/worker-brief co-existence at #2079.

   Fix: delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-descent-execution-proof-canvas.md
   (worker brief frontmatter already names it as superseded; with canvas
   gone the live authority is unambiguous).

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — section-anchor cite for §10.3 row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2105 line 47: my brief cited "§10.3 row 966" but the
actual line is now 986 (after my Q-Reification row insert in PR #2079 shifted
§10.3 by 20 lines). Reviewer's "no such section" claim is wrong on substance
(file + section + row all exist) but the line drift IS real.

Fix per feedback_section_anchors_over_line_numbers (Director calibration in
gunbc#2079): replaced all "§10.3 row 966" with "§10.3 Q-EVAL-Descent-
Termination-Contract row" — name-anchor instead of line-anchor, drift-immune.
5 occurrences cleaned (closure predicate, acceptance gate #3, gate #5, STOP
criterion, worker pin justification). Stylistic "row row-text" repetition
collapsed to "row text".

* docs(briefs): T-CostLens-Composition canvas — Lens<SymbolicCost> composition shape (#1957)

Pre-staged per Director endorsement of T-CostLens-Composition canvas-shape
authoring. Surfaces 3 composition options for the Lens<SymbolicCost> instance:

α: two separate lenses, externally joined — REJECTED (violates §1.8 gate #39
   no_coercion_cost_dimension by construction)
β: single Lens<SymbolicCost> with composed witness in read — strong but
   requires Lens<C> carrier-shape refactor (target-context threading)
γ (recommended): Lens<SymbolicCost> reads structural cost via algebra-fold +
   target-realization composed via existing Lookup<SymbolicCost> substrate at
   lookup.dag:48-60 — preserves generic Lens<C> carrier; satisfies all 4 §1.8
   gates (#37-40) by construction; aligns with feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first

Adjacent substrate verified at HEAD: lens.dag:70-77 (Lens<C>), algebra.dag:12+
(SymbolicCost 7-variant + Semiring), lookup.dag:48-60 (Lookup<SymbolicCost> +
MissingCost lens-boundary).

* docs(briefs): T-Workflow-As-Data canvas — audit-receipt-honoring scope-narrowing

Pre-staged per Director endorsement. Q-Workflow-As-Data-Carriers (§10.3 row 983)
named 5 carriers; grep-verified at HEAD that 4 of 5 ALREADY EXIST in
dsl/extdeps/github/actions.dag (218 lines). Only WorkflowSecret<Name> is
wholly net-new substrate.

Surfaces 3 options:
α: maximalist 5-carrier introduction in dsl/std/workflow.dag — REJECTED
   (admits parallel-representation debt vs audit-receipt #1771 reuse-first
   directive)
β (recommended): minimalist — only WorkflowSecret<Name> + Cron<Schedule>
   refinement net-new; lens consumes extdeps.github.actions directly. Honors
   feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first.
γ: like β + WorkflowObservationAnchor for typed lens-consumption-shape;
   natural ratchet from β if evidence accumulates.

Sequencing: dispatch-ready post-T-LBP COMPLETE per §S4 design-schedule:95;
brief authoring lands in advance per pre-staging discipline.

* docs(briefs): T-CostLens-Composition worker brief — γ ratified; delete canvas

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395691775:
- γ option ratified (Lens<SymbolicCost> + Lookup<SymbolicCost> composition)
- Lens<C> generic at lens.dag:70-77 confirmed authoritative (no refactor in scope)
- symbolic_cost_dimension: AnalysisDimension<SymbolicCost> defers to separate
  Dimensions sub-lane

Critical reframing absorbed: src/v3/lenses/cost.dag ALREADY EXISTS (status:
STRUCTURALLY TERMINAL; BEHAVIORALLY PROXY). T-CostLens-Composition is
behavioral-completion + target-realization-wiring, NOT P1 carrier introduction.
Worker reads existing lens; advances PROXY → BEHAVIORALLY COMPLETE via
Lookup<SymbolicCost> composition.

8 same-slice acceptance gates incl §1.8 #37-40 + #70 demonstration + lens
status header refresh + §10.3 row text refresh.

Out-of-scope (deferred per Director): symbolic_cost_dimension; Lens<C>
generic refactor (STOP-and-PING if implementation reveals need).

Canvas deleted per single-authority discipline (same precedent as S5 +
descent_execution_proof canvas deletions).

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395945465: 4 asks confirmed:
1. β ratified (minimalist reuse-first)
2. #1771 audit-receipt binding precedent confirmed
3. WorkflowSecret<Name> folds into dsl/extdeps/github/actions.dag (provider-

* docs(briefs): T-LAS Demo (#1952) complexity-contract compile-error worker brief

Pre-staged execution brief per Director endorsement of T-LAS demos via direct
worker brief path (no canvas — design-lock at docs/design-lens-application-
surface.md specifies fixture shape verbatim at line 292).

7 same-slice acceptance gates: fixture program (O(n²) body + Enforce O(log n)
budget) + TestClaim assertion + diagnostic structural validation + no

advancement.

Hard prerequisites STOP-and-PING: T-LAS Slice A landed (gates #88-#91) AND
T-LBP complexity-lens BEHAVIORALLY COMPLETE (gate #79). Worker does not
author against partial substrate.

Sibling demos #1953 (CRDT cost) + #1954 (memory-peak cost) share the same
hard-prerequisite + TestClaim shape pattern — could dispatch as 3 sequential
PRs or single multi-demo PR (worker's call at dispatch).

* docs(briefs): T-LAS Demos #1953 + #1954 — cost-basis sibling worker brief

Pre-staged sibling brief covering both cost-basis demos (CRDT cost basis +
memory-peak cost basis) per Director endorsement of T-LAS demos via direct
worker-brief path. Single brief for two demos because they share:
- Hard-prerequisite pattern (T-LAS Slice A + T-LBP cost-lens BEHAVIORALLY COMPLETE)
- TestClaim + Diagnostic structural validation shape
- apply_lens(cost, ...) Enforce mode

Sibling of #1952 brief (complexity-contract compile-error). Worker's call at
dispatch on multi-demo PR vs sequential PRs (Mgr ratification needed if going
multi-demo).

#1953 (CRDT) substrate per design §4.2 + cost-basis-declaration audit at
docs/audit/t-user-authored-cost-basis-discipline-worked-examples.md.
#1954 (memory-peak) substrate per design §4.3; STOP-and-PING if
Dimension<SymbolicCost> substrate (deferred to Dimensions sub-lane per Director

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context canvas (β-extended substrate-shape question)

Director α-revised supersession at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4400920572 elevated
β-extended path (introduce first-precedent .dag-side fold-over-realization-rows
+ name active-target authority shape) from slice-tier to canvas-tier.

Authored per Q-PAFS template:
- Substrate-state at HEAD grep-verified (Lens<C>.read no target-context;
  zero .dag-side fold-over-realizations precedent; 15+ lens instances using
  generic Lens<C>)
- Binary question: should .dag-side lenses receive target-context for
  target-keyed reading?
- Options matrix: (i) LanguageSpec param to fold; (ii) per-target lens
  instances [parallel-representation debt]; (iii) global accessor [REJECTED
  global-state anti-pattern]
- Mgr provisional preference: (i)
- Cross-cutting: cost.dag load-bearing; emission_provenance.dag secondary;
  other 13+ lenses target-agnostic

Framework discipline anchors per Director corrections:
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt
- feedback_abstraction_layering (sibling canvas)

Sibling canvas (ε path): q-cost-composition-layering-canvas.md authoring
follows. Both canvases together address deeper cross-cutting axis: does
target-context belong .dag-side (β-extended) or emit-side (ε)?

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(proposals): Q-Cost-Composition-Layering canvas (ε substrate-shape question)

Sibling canvas to q-lens-target-context-canvas.md. Director α-revised
supersession at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4400920572 elevated ε path (Rust-side
cost-composition wiring; preserves cost.dag PROXY) from slice-tier to
canvas-tier.

Authored per Q-PAFS template:
- Factoring claim: cost = (target-agnostic-shape SymbolicCost algebra) ×
  (target-specific-values per-primitive realization-cost data loaded Rust-side)
- Test against feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named anchor at
  gunbc#828 c#4400921658): pure objective concepts × language-agnostic
  LanguageSpec × emit-side composition. Compliance test for each layer.
- Pro factoring (ε structurally honest): SymbolicCost algebra is target-
  agnostic at HEAD; Rust-side composition is natural home; #38/#39 substrate-
  already-aligned per Slice 1 finding.
- Con factoring (ε is parallel-representation debt): N parallel Rust-side
  compositions if multiple lenses need target-context; lens-framework
  abstraction stops at substrate boundary; future lenses hit same dilemma.

Mgr provisional reading: factoring honest for COST specifically; NOT
generalizable. ε right framing IF cost is the singular need + factoring
holds. If N>1 target-context-needing lenses surface, β-extended (option
(i) from sibling canvas) becomes the right path.

Director ratification ask: 3-way choice
  (ε) Cost-specific Rust-side composition; preserves cost.dag PROXY
  (β-extended option (i)) Lens<C> refactor for LanguageSpec parameter
  (both sequenced) ε now for cost; β-extended later if N>1

Framework discipline anchors:
- feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named for this canvas)
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline

Canvas-pair complete; sibling canvas + this canvas address the deeper
cross-cutting axis: target-context belongs .dag-side (β-extended) or
emit-side (ε)? Director ratification across both informs T-CostLens
follow-on slice + downstream lens architecture.

* docs: ε ratified canonical for cost; β-extended deferred to N=2 — gate updates

Director ratification at #2181 #issuecomment-... :
- (ε) RATIFIED standalone for cost composition (canonical-not-transitional)
- (β-extended option (i)) DEFERRED to N=2 trigger event (second lens with
  target-context need beyond cost)
- ("both sequenced") REJECTED as bridge-with-named-dissolution anti-pattern

Same-slice acceptance gates landed:

1. Q-Cost-Composition-Layering canvas: status updated from "ratification
   needed" → "Director-RATIFIED 2026-05-07 (ε standalone; canonical-not-
   transitional); PROPOSAL maturation pending"
2. Q-Lens-Target-Context canvas: status updated from "ratification needed"
   → "DRAFT/DEFERRED 2026-05-07; reopens on N=2 trigger event" (second lens
   with substantive target-context need; emission_provenance most likely
   candidate per cross-cutting analysis §3)
3. r3-program-plan.md gate-table rows #37 + #40 + #70: ε path ratified;
   close via Rust-side composition reading abstract SymbolicCost × per-
   primitive realization-cost in T-CostLens follow-on slice
4. r3-program-plan.md §10.3 T-CostLens-Composition row: ε ratified for
   #37/#40/#70; β-extended deferred per N=2 trigger
5. v3-lens-capability-register.md cost.dag row: ε disposition cited; #2175
   continues as cross-cutting umbrella tracker

Closed-system disposition per Director: if N=2 condition never fires,
β-extended never fires — structurally correct under closed-system design.

Framework discipline anchors honored:
- feedback_abstraction_layering: ε respects layering (objective concepts
  pure; target-specific values flow at emit time per Layer-3 honesty test)
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt: bounded to N=1; reopens at N=2
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline: ε ratified canonical, not
  transitional
- feedback_construction_over_ratchets: substrate-shape question answered

* docs(proposals): canvas inventory grounded in live src/v3/lenses/ registry

codex BLOCKING at #2181 (sha 00551a8): Q-Lens-Target-Context
canvas inventory was "copied from expected lens set instead of live
src/v3/lenses/ registry"; emission_provenance trigger references not
grounded in live file content.

Same shape of error as 3 prior BLOCKING reversals (Q-Reification, S5
DeclarationRef, T-CostLens merge-content). Substrate-state-grep is being
treated as retrospective-correction rather than prerequisite. Tightening:
this is the 4th occurrence; should be hard-prerequisite-discipline going
forward.

Fixes:

1. Q-Lens-Target-Context inventory section: replaced approximate "15+
   lens instances" framing with exact `ls`-grep registry (15 .dag files
   listed by name), notes infer_helpers + lower_helpers are helper
   modules authoring shared structural fns rather than top-level lens
   instances.

2. emission_provenance.dag analysis grounded in HEAD file status header:
   STATUS = STRUCTURALLY TERMINAL; LENS-INSTANCE FIXTURE-BOUND; BEHAVIORALLY
   DEFERRED. `read` body is fail-closed Empty stub. Lens does NOT currently
   read target-context inside fold; producer-side instrumentation records
   target-specific entries consumed via standard framework. Reframed as
   "ungrounded at HEAD" rather than "POSSIBLY target-context need" —
   re-evaluates at producer-wiring landing.

3. Net finding: N=1 confirmed at HEAD (cost.dag only); N=2 is empirically
   open pending lens-completion cycles, NOT pre-claimable.

Plus non-blocking improvement: Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 9 stale
`#issuecomment-...` placeholder replaced with concrete ratification
comment id `#issuecomment-4401584012`.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — absorb PM canvas-review concerns 1-3

Director relayed PM canvas review at #2068 c#4401627536:

Concern 1 (RESOLVED via grep-verify): empirical N=1 confirmation. PM ran
`grep -lc 'TypeRealization|CallableRealization|MethodTemplateContract|
target_realization|realization_cost|LanguageSpec' src/v3/lenses/*.dag`;
only cost.dag has 3 hits, all 14 others have 0 refs (including
emission_provenance.dag which I'd previously framed speculatively).

Net-finding §3 updated with grep result inline + "N=1 empirically grounded"
framing replacing speculative "secondary candidate" language. Empirical
basis for DEFERRED β-extended disposition strengthened.

Concern 2 (Option (ii) multiplier framing): per-target lens instances
replicate the entire Lens<C> authoring surface — N×M × 4 (carrier + monoid
sequential + branch + iterate) authoring overhead. Updated Con bullet to
reflect the multiplier explicitly: 3 targets × 1 cost lens × 4 = 12 authored
fns; grows to 36 if 3 lenses need target-context. Cites
feedback_parallel_representation_debt as the P2 framing.

Concern 3 (Option (i) threading cost quantification): replaced narrative
"threading cost is real but manageable" with quantified breakdown — ~15
signature changes + 14 ignore-parameter patterns + 1 consumer + cementing-
test revalidation. Helps future Director ratification at N=2 trigger event.

All 3 amendments are docs-only refinements; ε ratification at gunbc#2181
c#4401584012 unchanged. Strengthens canvas as durable substrate-shape
decision record.

* docs(proposals): canvases — collapse stale ratification-ask sections post-ratification

codex BLOCKING at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): both canvases had stale
"Director ratification ask" sections after status headers were updated to
RATIFIED/DEFERRED. Per INVARIANTS P1 "Documentation Describes Live State" —
canvas internally presented both settled and unsettled authority.

Fixes:

1. Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 69-76: "Director ratification ask"
   section collapsed to "Director ratification (RECEIVED 2026-05-07)" with
   ε ratified, β-extended deferred, "both sequenced" rejected. Three options
   recorded as historical with ratification cite. Eliminates the rejected
   "both, sequenced" line that conflicted with status-header "canonical-not-
   transitional" framing.

2. Q-Lens-Target-Context line 131-136: "Director ratification ask" section
   collapsed to "Director disposition (DEFERRED 2026-05-07; reopens on N=2
   trigger event)". Original ratification asks recorded as FROZEN; revisit
   at N=2 trigger event with then-current substrate-state grep. Eliminates
   live-now-ratify framing that conflicted with status-header DEFERRED.

Both canvases now single live authority — RATIFIED/DEFERRED dispositions,
no internal ratification-ask drift. Future re-ratification (Q-Lens-Target-
Context at N=2 trigger) refreshes options matrix at that point per
substrate-state-honesty discipline.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — separate live N=1 from reopen-only future N=2

openai-pro APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): canvas
line 127 mixed live N=1 authority with speculative N=2 candidate in one
current-state cost count.

Per P1 Documentation Describes Live State + P2 single-authority metadata:
the live count at HEAD is `cost × 3 targets = 3 per-target instances` (× 4
authoring-multiplier per Option (ii) Con = 12 fns). The `emission_provenance
× 3` figure is a reopen-only future scenario that materializes only if
emission_provenance becomes the second real target-context lens at producer-
wiring landing time.

Updated to separate the two clearly: live count + reopen-only future
scenario marked separately. Aligns with the grep-verified N=1 finding
established earlier in canvas §3.

* docs(proposals): Q-Complexity-Composition-Layering canvas — DRAFT (factoring tested, ε precedent does NOT apply)

Director authorized canvas authoring at #828 c#4402669133 as
parallel structure to Q-Cost-Composition-Layering (ε RATIFIED). Substrate-
grep on src/v3/lenses/complexity.dag at HEAD shows the factoring claim
DIFFERS from cost-lens:

- Cost-lens needed (target-agnostic shape × target-specific values)
  factoring → Rust-side composition (ε)
- Complexity-lens has NO target-specific axis; output is structural
  property of DAG topology + algebra-instance composition; substrate-
  native fully-on-.dag-side completion

Mgr provisional reading: ε precedent does NOT apply; complexity-lens
BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION is direct slice-tier substrate authoring (carrier
introduction follows SymbolicCost precedent + T-E-P P1 carrier
consumption). Director ratification ask: Q1 (factoring finding correct),
Q2 (slice-tier directly bypassing canvas), Q3 (fresh worker pin).

Pre-authored brief for complexity-lens BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION substrate
work per Director Q1/Q2/Q3 ratification at #828 c#4402714255.

Three deliverables: carrier introduction (ComplexityCost / WorkSpan /
AsymptoticClass following SymbolicCost precedent) + lens widening
(complexity.dag PROXY → COMPLETE) + T-E-P P1 carrier consumption
(DescentEvidence / CallPattern / SubValueRelation for asymptotic
classification of recursive-call behavior).

Indirect-variant dependency surfaced as worker-grep concern at slice-
authoring time (T-E-P P1 Slice 5+ pending; eager-bat-178 stream).

Cementing test (#1950) is separate downstream brief; v2-oracle snapshot
ownership pending Q4 cross-Mgr ratification.

Worker pin: fresh-pool pick at dispatch time (NOT eager-bat-178 per
Director Q3 framing; NOT fierce-ram-21 busy with cost-lens ε).

* docs(briefs): rewrite complexity-lens brief consuming live design authority (codex BLOCKING fix)

Codex BLOCKING (3 findings) at #2199 sha 7a8bb6d:
1. Brief authored against missing canvas instead of reconciling with
   docs/design-complexity-lens-behavioral-completeness.md (which exists
   at HEAD with comprehensive substrate spec)
2. Producer coverage treated as optional corpus scope; should be hard
   T-E-P-Producer-Broadening prerequisite
3. Stale/non-in-repo planning authority cited; should be r3-structure.md

All three BLOCKING findings VALID — substrate-grep-before-authoring

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas — DRAFT (canvas-tier P1 procedure per Q6 RATIFIED)

Director Q6 RATIFIED canvas-tier-required at #828 c#4403163639
for PerfWithinBaseline TestPredicate variant authoring. Three substantive
substrate-shape questions resolved:

Q1 baseline shape: (a) literal-Int rejected as strict-mirror-of-CostBounded
defeats semantic load; (b) DeclarationRef-to-stored-data composes
LensOutputEquals + data X: SymbolicCost precedent at HEAD; (c) runtime-
fixture-injection over-authors. Mgr lean (b).

Q2 ComparisonOp composition: (i) reuse existing ComparisonOp via test-
runner-side resolution matches LensOutputEquals path; (ii) new relative-
op-set introduces parallel-representation debt. Mgr lean (i).

Q3 baseline-storage scope: (α) in-scope slice authors example data; (β)
out-of-scope variant-only slice + PB consumer authors baseline data
matches existing layering. Mgr lean (β).

Combined Mgr lean: Q1(b) + Q2(i) + Q3(β) — variant authored as
compositional extension; baseline-storage is PB consumer-tier work.

Cross-Mgr: PB Mgr #2138 worker (crisp-swift-433) holds dispatch on #2204
land; T-Tier3-Dissolution #2085 R-4 prereq encoded.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas REVISED (supersedes wrong-shape original)

Director disposition at #828 c#4403265220 authorized
supersession after BLOCKING at PR #2209 c#4403246233 verified VALID:
original canvas conflated symbolic SymbolicCost (cost-lens substrate)
with wall-clock measured median/p99 baseline (T-Tier3 perf gate
substrate per docs/r3-structure.md:225 + :461 Director-locked 2026-04-28).

Revised canvas frames as two-path ratification:
- P1 author full perf-budget substrate in-R3 (multi-slice; pattern-5
  genuinely-novel substrate-fact-introduction)
- P2 explicitly post-R3 per Director-locked recommendation (zero in-R3
  effort; structural close per r3-structure.md:461 'R3 deliverable is
  structural close; perf is downstream')

Mgr lean: P2 — Director-locked recommendation explicit; trigger-
condition ('someone authors perf-budget claim with concrete numbers
and tooling') not met; R3 horizon constraint argues against multi-
slice perf-budget substrate adding to 5-orthogonal-dependency picture.

Original canvas at q-perf-within-baseline-canvas.md retained with
SUPERSEDED-BY header per durable-decision-record discipline.

5th discipline-failure of 2026-05-08 cycle: substrate-grep verified
substrate-precedent but missed consumer-side requirement at canonical
authority doc; Director self-flagged symmetric two-axis verification
gap; canvas-finding-taxonomy needs precondition 'consumer-side
requirement grep-verified at canonical authority doc'.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas-revised — correct trigger-condition framing per Director c#4403297623

Director caught second-axis grep failure on revised canvas: my P2
reasoning #1 ("path-trigger condition for P1 is not met") was
structurally wrong. Existing tooling at HEAD substantially meets the
Director-locked 2026-04-28 trigger-condition ("someone authors the
perf-budget claim with concrete numbers and tooling"):

- docs/briefs/r3-pb-tier3-perf-budget-worker.md
- docs/audit/c1-tier3-perf-budget-readiness-matrix.md
- src/v3/compiler/benches/tier3_mirror_perf.rs
- docs/audit/c1-tier3-baseline-capture-procedure.md
- docs/audit/c1-r3-canonical-bench-host-decision-matrix.md

Plus thresholds (≤2× median, ≤5× p99) + capture discipline (N=3 min,
N=5 preferred) + canonical bench host option matrix.

P1 is bridging existing tooling to substrate (compositional-extension),
NOT multi-slice greenfield genuinely-novel pattern-5 as originally
framed. Smaller scope than canvas-finding-taxonomy pattern 5 implies.

Path-call genuinely depends on PB Mgr's R-3 (canonical CI bench host)
+ R-7 (tier3_baseline.json baseline-capture path) decisions per their
audit response at c#4403059897. Path-call DEFERRED to cross-Mgr
coordination outcome with PB Mgr (#2074); Substrate Mgr surfaces with
corrected framing this turn.

Sixth discipline-failure of cycle (mine, second-axis grep gap on
existing-tooling state); same-class as Director's first-axis grep gap
on consumer-side requirement at the prior turn. Memorialized as
two-axis verification discipline anchor.

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan.file brief — umbrella stays Open per P2 ledger discipline

Address BLOCKING inline review at line 46: bridge_source_span_file_participation_retired
is an Open umbrella whose green predicate is "no production code path consults
SourceSpan.file" per r3-structure.md:115. Partial retirement was explicitly
rejected 2026-04-29 (Director acceptance #1130 / dispatch #1139).

Changes:
- Add Ledger-discipline preamble: umbrella row stays Open; receipt updates
  audit-packet enumeration, NOT bridge_ledger.dag.
- Acceptance #3 reframed: do NOT mutate bridge_ledger.dag; mark rows #2 + #6
  retired in the audit packet only.
- Authority anchor updated: status=Open (not Proposed); add r3-structure.md:115
  + bridge_ledger.dag:125-129 line refs.
- Cross-Mgr section reframed: umbrella ratchet cannot flip on this PR alone;
  Verification's ledger-zero audit progress field is post-merge tracking,
  not a same-slice pre-merge blocker. Reconciles with BLOCKING finding
  (Director calibration #1 assumed umbrella ratchet could flip on partial
  retirement, which r3-structure.md:115 forbids).

* docs(briefs): S5 CoproductProjection worker brief — γ ratified (#1947)

Director ratification of option γ at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394369848.
Free-standing CoproductProjection carrier in src/v3/std/, DeclarationRef-keyed,
typed WireTagValue leaf, 4 same-slice acceptance gates.

Surfaces 3 substrate observations for STOP-and-PING (DeclarationRef String
alias; FieldRef does-not-exist-at-HEAD; tag_field String asymmetry) — worker
must escalate, not silently work around. PB Mgr cross-Mgr ping at carrier
landing (heads-up, not blocker).

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan.file brief — resolve Acceptance #4 / Cross-Mgr contradiction

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at PR #2079 #issuecomment-... flagged Acceptance #4
("ratchet test passes ... confirmed-present at HEAD before merge") contradicting
the reframed Cross-Mgr section ("No same-slice ratchet-test gate applies; post-merge
tracking only"). Both said different things about whether the umbrella ratchet
is a pre-merge blocker.

Resolution: Acceptance #4 reframed to explicitly state "No umbrella-ratchet
pre-merge gate" — worker does NOT wait for Verification ratchet authoring;
acceptance for this slice is the audit-packet receipt update in #3. Cross-Mgr
handoff also updated to remove "ratchet authoring" from Verification's same-slice
duties.

* docs(r3): Q-Reification Gate A receipt — Option A (Dag-as-carrier)

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394427814 + proposal merge
at PR #2096 (commit fec8692): src/v3/std/substrate.dag::Dag IS the reflected
program; no new substrate carrier required. ReflectedProgram<T> rejected.

Gate A patches:
1. r3-program-plan.md §10.3: new Q-Reification row marked RATIFIED with PR #2096
   merge link + Gate A receipt scope (this PR + #1960 closed-as-non-addition).
2. r3-v-pattern-a-tc1-v1-worker.md: 3 sites — status header (Q-Reification
   CLEARED, Branch B η non-vacuity remains), worker-pin gate, E6-G1.a/E3
   producer dependency. Replaces ReflectedProgram<T> with consumer-wiring
   nuance: lens fold consumes Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator.
3. r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md: 2 sites — same nuance: deferred
   work is consumer-wiring, NOT a separate carrier.
4. r3-pr-e8-w1-producer-contract-test-plan-worker.md: 1 site — fold-over-Dag
   reframe.

Receipt of pass-by-construction: this PR adds NO new .dag declaration to
src/v3/std/. The ratification is structurally a non-addition (Option A
correctness proof per same-slice dissolution discipline).

* docs(briefs): S5 — delete superseded canvas + name dissolution trigger for tag_field asymmetry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings (P2 single-authority
+ P5 dissolution trigger).

Fixes:
1. Delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s5-variant-aware-projection-carrier-canvas.md
   (superseded by the γ-ratified worker brief in same PR; would otherwise leave
   two current-looking S5 status authorities post-merge — one saying ratification
   pending, one saying γ ratified).
2. Substrate observation #3 (tag_field String/FieldRef asymmetry) now carries a
   binding named dissolution trigger: when FieldRef exists as top-level carrier
   AND InputFieldRef is classified, migrate InternallyTaggedObject.tag_field via
   follow-on Substrate hygiene PR. Worker MUST add debt-paydown row to authoritative
   debt ledger before merging carrier-introduction PR.

INVARIANTS.md C-1 is "missing args fail closed; no LitNull sentinels" (P3
fail-closed family), not parallel-representation/duplicate-authority. The
correct cite for rejecting a parallel ReflectedProgram<T> alongside Dag is
P2 single authority (INVARIANTS.md line 148: cost of change is proportional
to how many files encode the same fact).

Cite updated to "INVARIANTS.md P2 single authority" with inline gloss.

* docs(briefs): S5 — name dissolution trigger for DeclarationRef alias debt

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: substrate observation #1 had desired
endpoint ("future structural promotion of DeclarationRef") but no checkable
dissolution trigger — same P5 gap that #3 (tag_field asymmetry) had been fixed
for in commit 2601d7d.

Trigger now binding: promote DeclarationRef when EITHER
  (a) audit-row #14 (declaration_name_preference_rank / declaration_by_name
      rank-table) closes — dsl/std ↔ src/v3/std module convergence makes
      name-keyed identity unambiguous and structural module identity available,
  OR
  (b) any DeclarationRef-typed consumer surfaces a string-identity bridge per
      feedback_opaque_strings_attract_heuristics (heuristic patching, naming-
      convention dispatch, suffix/prefix matching).

Worker MUST add debt-paydown row before merging carrier-introduction PR (same
pattern as the tag_field debt requirement).

* docs: complete Q-Reification stale-cite sweep — e6-g1a brief :169 + Q-PAFS row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md:169
still said TC1/V1 "waits for Q-Reification and the carrier landing", contradicting
the same brief's lines 15-19 + 148-153 saying Dag IS the carrier and no separate
carrier lands.

Fixed:
1. e6-g1a brief line 167-170 paragraph: clarified V1 waits for consumer-wiring
   work (lens fold consuming Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator), NOT
   for a carrier-introduction.
2. r3-program-plan.md:954 Q-PAFS row text was the same shape: "Resume after
   Q-Reification + ReflectedProgram<T>" — contradicted my new Q-Reification row
   in the same diff. Updated: Q-Reification STOP CLEARED 2026-05-07 (Option A);
   remaining hold = Branch B η non-vacuity only.

Out-of-scope-for-this-PR: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-feasibility-probe.md
contains 4 stale cites but is not modified in this PR; stale-on-main can be
swept in a follow-up if needed (single source of truth is the e6-g1a-static-lens
worker brief, not the feasibility probe per Q-PAFS Path A acceptance).

* docs(briefs): S5 — fix InputFieldRef mis-read; reframe observations #2 + #3

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079 line 22: my brief mis-read services.dag:28-36.
The text actually says "No separate InputFieldRef carrier is introduced here,
since ParamToken.name already carries the same shape and adding a wrapper would
duplicate without strengthening the structural invariant" — i.e., InputFieldRef
does NOT exist; the comment REJECTS the wrapper.

Fixes:
1. Substrate observation #2 reframed: no FieldRef-shaped carrier exists at HEAD;
   services.dag:28-36 precedent argues against wrapper unless it strengthens
   structural invariant. New (a)/(b) STOP-and-PING:
   (a) follow services.dag precedent — wire_tag_field: String + key invariant
       on wire_tag_values + fixture-load fail-closed check;
   (b) introduce typed FieldRef — must justify per "duplicate without
       strengthening" test.
2. Carrier shape (line 19): wire_tag_field: FieldRef → {String|FieldRef}
   pending observation #2 resolution.
3. Substrate observation #3 reframed: InternallyTaggedObject asymmetry is
   conditional on path (b); under path (a) no asymmetry exists. Trigger
   correspondingly conditional. Removed stale "InputFieldRef classified" trigger
   clause.

* docs(briefs): S5 — consolidate split per-variant maps into single keyed entry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: CoproductProjection shape split
per-variant data across two parallel maps (variant_field_projections +
wire_tag_values), admitting illegal states where keysets drift (P2 boundary
discipline / illegal-states-unrepresentable).

Fix: introduce CoproductVariantProjection { field_projection, wire_tag_value }
as the per-variant keyed value; CoproductProjection.variant_projections becomes
Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection>. Single keyed authority per variant.

Director's binding constraint #2 enumerated the two fields separately but said
"refine in implementation as ergonomics demand" — consolidation preserves the
substantive constraints (typed WireTagValue leaf, structural per-variant
projection) while enforcing keyset alignment by carrier shape.

Empty-payload variants encoded via FieldProjection::Empty constructor (or
analog), not via map-absence.

* docs(briefs): S5 — fix stale split-map vocab in path (a) + scope STOP-and-PING umbrella

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings.

1. Path (a) at line 43 still referenced "Map<VariantId, WireTagValue> key invariant
   on wire_tag_values" — that's the superseded split-map vocab; the consolidated
   shape is Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection> on variant_projections.
   Path (a) now references the consolidated map; per-variant WireTagValue lives
   inside CoproductVariantProjection.

2. Pre-ratification umbrella at line 36 said "all 3 dispositions pre-ratified,
   proceed without re-pinging" — but observation #2 was re-opened after the
   codex InputFieldRef finding and explicitly says STOP-and-PING. Contradictory.
   Umbrella now scoped: observations #1 + #3 are pre-ratified; #2 is re-opened
   STOP-and-PING — worker MUST escalate before choosing path (a) vs (b).

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof canvas — 4-residual coproduct-dissolution audit

Director ratified split disposition at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394696074:
descent_execution_proof STANDS ALONE (consumer-side termination-contract
substrate function with fail-closed residual enumeration; folding into
T-E-P-Producer-Broadening explicitly rejected — different concern axis).

Canvas surfaces 3 carrier-shape options for the residual enumeration per
Director's coproduct-dissolution audit suggestion:

α: 4-variant coproduct verbatim from §10.3 row 966 (Missing | Unknown |
   Incomplete | NonStrict)
β: 3-axis dimensional product (presence × completeness × strictness)
γ (recommended): reuse DescentEvidence at termination.dag:14-17 for
   "absent/unknown" via EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) payload-variant +
   separate EvidenceIncomplete — ratchets variant count 4 → 2 via dimensional
   folding while honoring services.dag "no parallel wrapper" precedent.

Mgr recommendation γ; β rejected unless 3 axes provably compose orthogonally.

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan brief Row #6 — derive from bootstrap_authority map, no new enum variant

codex BLOCKING (post-merge of #2079, on commit 85ceb85 — same brief is now on
main): my Row #6 disposition told the worker to introduce a new
BootstrapAuthority::Pipeline variant ("extend the enum if needed"). That
violates P2 single-authority — src/v3/std/bootstrap_authority.dag:90 already
has "src/v3/compiler/pipeline.dag": CompilerAuthority, classifying pipeline.dag
under the existing CompilerAuthority variant. The :14-17 comment is explicit:
"the path itself is the BootstrapAuthoritySet map key; variants carry no
duplicate path payload" — single authority, not extension-by-variant.

Fix: Row #6 now instructs worker to derive the typed key from the existing
bootstrap_authority-map witness (BootstrapAuthorityKey threading the existing
CompilerAuthority classifier), refining the constructor surface if needed —
NOT introducing a new enum variant. STOP-and-PING criteria updated to forbid
new-variant resolution under any path.

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof worker brief — γ ratified (2-variant residual)

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395060514:
- DescentResidual = EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) | EvidenceIncomplete
  (4 → 2 dissolution: Missing+Unknown fold via DescentUnknown injection;
  NonStrict folds via NonIncreasing wrap; Incomplete retained — different
  concern axis from evidence-lattice)
- DescentEvidence 3-variant lattice at termination.dag:14-17 confirmed as
  authoritative composition target
- Type signature from §10.3 row 966 confirmed verbatim-binding

Director-asked canvas-shape verification absorbed: worker STOPs if
EvidenceIncomplete decomposes into payload-variants (timeout / depth-bound /
evaluator-error-during-proof-construction); proceeds as 2-variant otherwise.

7 same-slice acceptance gates incl Evaluator E2 #1971 consumer wiring in same

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — narrow EvidenceUnknown payload via NonStrictEvidence subset; delete superseded canvas

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2105: 2 findings.

1. BLOCKING (LAYER MODEL / illegal states unrepresentable): worker brief
   shape `EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence)` admitted EvidenceUnknown(Strict)
   even though the canvas itself acknowledged Strict-isn't-a-residual as
   illegal. P2 requires API-level enforcement, not prose convention.

   Fix: introduce typed subset `NonStrictEvidence = NonIncreasing |
   DescentUnknown`; residual now `EvidenceUnknown(NonStrictEvidence)` —
   illegal-states-unrepresentable by construction. NonStrictEvidence lands in
   same file as DescentResidual; composes with existing 3-variant
   DescentEvidence via inhabitation, not re-definition.

2. NON-BLOCKING (live-state drift): canvas + worker brief both visible with
   "ratification needed" vs "ratified" status — same P2 single-authority
   shape as the S5 canvas/worker-brief co-existence at #2079.

   Fix: delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-descent-execution-proof-canvas.md
   (worker brief frontmatter already names it as superseded; with canvas
   gone the live authority is unambiguous).

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — section-anchor cite for §10.3 row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2105 line 47: my brief cited "§10.3 row 966" but the
actual line is now 986 (after my Q-Reification row insert in PR #2079 shifted
§10.3 by 20 lines). Reviewer's "no such section" claim is wrong on substance
(file + section + row all exist) but the line drift IS real.

Fix per feedback_section_anchors_over_line_numbers (Director calibration in
gunbc#2079): replaced all "§10.3 row 966" with "§10.3 Q-EVAL-Descent-
Termination-Contract row" — name-anchor instead of line-anchor, drift-immune.
5 occurrences cleaned (closure predicate, acceptance gate #3, gate #5, STOP
criterion, worker pin justification). Stylistic "row row-text" repetition
collapsed to "row text".

* docs(briefs): T-CostLens-Composition canvas — Lens<SymbolicCost> composition shape (#1957)

Pre-staged per Director endorsement of T-CostLens-Composition canvas-shape

α: two separate lenses, externally joined — REJECTED (violates §1.8 gate #39
   no_coercion_cost_dimension by construction)
β: single Lens<SymbolicCost> with composed witness in read — strong but

γ (recommended): Lens<SymbolicCost> reads structural cost via algebra-fold +

Pre-staged per Director endorsement. Q-Workflow-As-Data-Carriers (§10.3 row 983)

dsl/extdeps/github/actions.dag (218 lines). Only WorkflowSecret<Name> is
wholly net-new substrate.

Surfaces 3 options:
α: maximalist 5-carrier introduction in dsl/std/workflow.dag — REJECTED
   (admits parallel-representation debt vs audit-receipt #1771 reuse-first
   directive)
β (recommended): minimalist — only WorkflowSecret<Name> + Cron<Schedule>
   refinement net-new; lens consumes extdeps.github.actions directly. Honors
   feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first.
γ: like β + WorkflowObservationAnchor for typed lens-consumption-shape;
   natural ratchet from β if evidence accumulates.

* Delete superseded T-CostLens canvas (worker brief is single live authority)

* docs(briefs): T-WAD Slice 1 worker brief — β ratified; delete canvas

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395945465: 4 asks confirmed:
1. β ratified (minimalist reuse-first)
2. #1771 audit-receipt binding precedent confirmed
3. WorkflowSecret<Name> folds into dsl/extdeps/github/actions.dag (provider-
   specific scope; NOT new dsl/std/ file unless cross-provider evidence)
4. §1.8 gates #54 + #55 split into separate slices (slice 2 = timing-and-pattern;
   slice 3 = ci_workflow_modeled_as_dag)

Slice 1 net-new substrate (only):
- WorkflowSecret<Name> + SecretScope carriers
- CronExpression + CronField (typed refinement of existing
  WorkflowTrigger::Schedule { cron: String } at actions.dag:43)

Other 4 carriers from §10.3 row 983 reused as-is from extdeps.github.actions
per audit-receipt #1771 directive.

6 same-slice acceptance gates incl no-parallel-representation grep + gate
#53/#62/#63 advancement + bootstrap regen + clippy.

Cross-provider STOP-and-PING per Director ask #3 caveat: worker greps adjacent
provider work for WorkflowSecret-shape evidence; surfaces if found before
finalizing fold-into-extdeps.

Canvas deleted per single-authority discipline (S5 + descent_execution_proof +

* docs(briefs): T-LAS Demo (#1952) complexity-contract compile-error worker brief

Pre-staged execution brief per Director endorsement of T-LAS demos via direct
worker brief path (no canvas — design-lock at docs/design-lens-application-
surface.md specifies fixture shape verbatim at line 292).

7 same-slice acceptance gates: fixture program (O(n²) body + Enforce O(log n)
budget) + TestClaim assertion + diagnostic structural validation + no
regression on T-LBP cementing + bootstrap regen + clippy + §1.8 #92
advancement.

Hard prerequisites STOP-and-PING: T-LAS Slice A landed (gates #88-#91) AND
T-LBP complexity-lens BEHAVIORALLY COMPLETE (gate #79). Worker does not
author against partial substrate.

Sibling demos #1953 (CRDT cost) + #1954 (memory-peak cost) share the same
hard-prerequisite + TestClaim shape pattern — could dispatch as 3 sequential
PRs or single multi-demo PR (worker's call at dispatch).

* docs(briefs): T-LAS Demos #1953 + #1954 — cost-basis sibling worker brief

Pre-staged sibling brief covering both cost-basis demos (CRDT cost basis +
memory-peak cost basis) per Director endorsement of T-LAS demos via direct
worker-brief path. Single brief for two demos because they share:
- Hard-prerequisite pattern (T-LAS Slice A + T-LBP cost-lens BEHAVIORALLY COMPLETE)
- TestClaim + Diagnostic structural validation shape
- apply_lens(cost, ...) Enforce mode

Sibling of #1952 brief (complexity-contract compile-error). Worker's call at
dispatch on multi-demo PR vs sequential PRs (Mgr ratification needed if going
multi-demo).

#1953 (CRDT) substrate per design §4.2 + cost-basis-declaration audit at
docs/audit/t-user-authored-cost-basis-discipline-worked-examples.md.
#1954 (memory-peak) substrate per design §4.3; STOP-and-PING if
Dimension<SymbolicCost> substrate (deferred to Dimensions sub-lane per Director
ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395691775) not yet landed.

6 same-slice acceptance gates per demo + same STOP-and-PING discipline as #1952.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context canvas (β-extended substrate-shape question)

Director α-revised supersession at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4400920572 elevated
β-extended path (introduce first-precedent .dag-side fold-over-realization-rows
+ name active-target authority shape) from slice-tier to canvas-tier.

Authored per Q-PAFS template:
- Substrate-state at HEAD grep-verified (Lens<C>.read no target-context;
  zero .dag-side fold-over-realizations precedent; 15+ lens instances using
  generic Lens<C>)
- Binary question: should .dag-side lenses receive target-context for
  target-keyed reading?
- Options matrix: (i) LanguageSpec param to fold; (ii) per-target lens
  instances [parallel-representation debt]; (iii) global accessor [REJECTED
  global-state anti-pattern]
- Mgr provisional preference: (i)
- Cross-cutting: cost.dag load-bearing; emission_provenance.dag secondary;
  other 13+ lenses target-agnostic

Framework discipline anchors per Director corrections:
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt
- feedback_abstraction_layering (sibling canvas)

Sibling canvas (ε path): q-cost-composition-layering-canvas.md authoring
follows. Both canvases together address deeper cross-cutting axis: does
target-context belong .dag-side (β-extended) or emit-side (ε)?

* docs(proposals): Q-Cost-Composition-Layering canvas (ε substrate-shape question)

Sibling canvas to q-lens-target-context-canvas.md. Director α-revised
supersession at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4400920572 elevated ε path (Rust-side
cost-composition wiring; preserves cost.dag PROXY) from slice-tier to
canvas-tier.

Authored per Q-PAFS template:
- Factoring claim: cost = (target-agnostic-shape SymbolicCost algebra) ×
  (target-specific-values per-primitive realization-cost data loaded Rust-side)
- Test against feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named anchor at
  gunbc#828 c#4400921658): pure objective concepts × language-agnostic
  LanguageSpec × emit-side composition. Compliance test for each layer.
- Pro factoring (ε structurally honest): SymbolicCost algebra is target-
  agnostic at HEAD; Rust-side composition is natural home; #38/#39 substrate-
  already-aligned per Slice 1 finding.
- Con factoring (ε is parallel-representation debt): N parallel Rust-side
  compositions if multiple lenses need target-context; lens-framework
  abstraction stops at substrate boundary; future lenses hit same dilemma.

Mgr provisional reading: factoring honest for COST specifically; NOT
generalizable. ε right framing IF cost is the singular need + factoring
holds. If N>1 target-context-needing lenses surface, β-extended (option
(i) from sibling canvas) becomes the right path.

Director ratification ask: 3-way choice
  (ε) Cost-specific Rust-side composition; preserves cost.dag PROXY
  (β-extended option (i)) Lens<C> refactor for LanguageSpec parameter
  (both sequenced) ε now for cost; β-extended later if N>1

Framework discipline anchors:
- feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named for this canvas)
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline

Canvas-pair complete; sibling canvas + this canvas address the deeper
cross-cutting axis: target-context belongs .dag-side (β-extended) or
emit-side (ε)? Director ratification across both informs T-CostLens
follow-on slice + downstream lens architecture.

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* docs: ε ratified canonical for cost; β-extended deferred to N=2 — gate updates

Director ratification at #2181 #issuecomment-... :
- (ε) RATIFIED standalone for cost composition (canonical-not-transitional)
- (β-extended option (i)) DEFERRED to N=2 trigger event (second lens with
  target-context need beyond cost)
- ("both sequenced") REJECTED as bridge-with-named-dissolution anti-pattern

Same-slice acceptance gates landed:

1. Q-Cost-Composition-Layering canvas: status updated from "ratification
   needed" → "Director-RATIFIED 2026-05-07 (ε standalone; canonical-not-
   transitional); PROPOSAL maturation pending"
2. Q-Lens-Target-Context canvas: status updated from "ratification needed"
   → "DRAFT/DEFERRED 2026-05-07; reopens on N=2 trigger event" (second lens
   with substantive target-context need; emission_provenance most likely
   candidate per cross-cutting analysis §3)
3. r3-program-plan.md gate-table rows #37 + #40 + #70: ε path ratified;
   close via Rust-side composition reading abstract SymbolicCost × per-
   primitive realization-cost in T-CostLens follow-on slice
4. r3-program-plan.md §10.3 T-CostLens-Composition row: ε ratified for
   #37/#40/#70; β-extended deferred per N=2 trigger
5. v3-lens-capability-register.md cost.dag row: ε disposition cited; #2175
   continues as cross-cutting umbrella tracker

Closed-system disposition per Director: if N=2 condition never fires,
β-extended never fires — structurally correct under closed-system design.

Framework discipline anchors honored:
- feedback_abstraction_layering: ε respects layering (objective concepts
  pure; target-specific values flow at emit time per Layer-3 honesty test)
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt: bounded to N=1; reopens at N=2
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline: ε ratified canonical, not
  transitional
- feedback_construction_over_ratchets: substrate-shape question answered
  structurally
- feedback_substrate_principle_audit: substrate-fact authored at canvas-
  tier; ratification follows P1 procedure

* docs(proposals): canvas inventory grounded in live src/v3/lenses/ registry

codex BLOCKING at #2181 (sha 00551a8): Q-Lens-Target-Context
canvas inventory was "copied from expected lens set instead of live
src/v3/lenses/ registry"; emission_provenance trigger references not
grounded in live file content.

Same shape of error as 3 prior BLOCKING reversals (Q-Reification, S5
DeclarationRef, T-CostLens merge-content). Substrate-state-grep is being
treated as retrospective-correction rather than prerequisite. Tightening:
this is the 4th occurrence; should be hard-prerequisite-discipline going
forward.

Fixes:

1. Q-Lens-Target-Context inventory section: replaced approximate "15+
   lens instances" framing with exact `ls`-grep registry (15 .dag files
   listed by name), notes infer_helpers + lower_helpers are helper
   modules authoring shared structural fns rather than top-level lens
   instances.

2. emission_provenance.dag analysis grounded in HEAD file status header:
   STATUS = STRUCTURALLY TERMINAL; LENS-INSTANCE FIXTURE-BOUND; BEHAVIORALLY
   DEFERRED. `read` body is fail-closed Empty stub. Lens does NOT currently
   read target-context inside fold; producer-side instrumentation records
   target-specific entries consumed via standard framework. Reframed as
   "ungrounded at HEAD" rather than "POSSIBLY target-context need" —
   re-evaluates at producer-wiring landing.

3. Net finding: N=1 confirmed at HEAD (cost.dag only); N=2 is empirically
   open pending lens-completion cycles, NOT pre-claimable.

Plus non-blocking improvement: Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 9 stale
`#issuecomment-...` placeholder replaced with concrete ratification
comment id `#issuecomment-4401584012`.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — absorb PM canvas-review concerns 1-3

Director relayed PM canvas review at #2068 c#4401627536:

Concern 1 (RESOLVED via grep-verify): empirical N=1 confirmation. PM ran
`grep -lc 'TypeRealization|CallableRealization|MethodTemplateContract|
target_realization|realization_cost|LanguageSpec' src/v3/lenses/*.dag`;
only cost.dag has 3 hits, all 14 others have 0 refs (including
emission_provenance.dag which I'd previously framed speculatively).

Net-finding §3 updated with grep result inline + "N=1 empirically grounded"
framing replacing speculative "secondary candidate" language. Empirical
basis for DEFERRED β-extended disposition strengthened.

Concern 2 (Option (ii) multiplier framing): per-target lens instances
replicate the entire Lens<C> authoring surface — N×M × 4 (carrier + monoid
sequential + branch + iterate) authoring overhead. Updated Con bullet to
reflect the multiplier explicitly: 3 targets × 1 cost lens × 4 = 12 authored
fns; grows to 36 if 3 lenses need target-context. Cites
feedback_parallel_representation_debt as the P2 framing.

Concern 3 (Option (i) threading cost quantification): replaced narrative
"threading cost is real but manageable" with quantified breakdown — ~15
signature changes + 14 ignore-parameter patterns + 1 consumer + cementing-
test revalidation. Helps future Director ratification at N=2 trigger event.

All 3 amendments are docs-only refinements; ε ratification at gunbc#2181
c#4401584012 unchanged. Strengthens canvas as durable substrate-shape
decision record.

* docs(proposals): canvases — collapse stale ratification-ask sections post-ratification

codex BLOCKING at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): both canvases had stale
"Director ratification ask" sections after status headers were updated to
RATIFIED/DEFERRED. Per INVARIANTS P1 "Documentation Describes Live State" —
canvas internally presented both settled and unsettled authority.

Fixes:

1. Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 69-76: "Director ratification ask"
   section collapsed to "Director ratification (RECEIVED 2026-05-07)" with
   ε ratified, β-extended deferred, "both sequenced" rejected. Three options
   recorded as historical with ratification cite. Eliminates the rejected
   "both, sequenced" line that conflicted with status-header "canonical-not-
   transitional" framing.

2. Q-Lens-Target-Context line 131-136: "Director ratification ask" section
   collapsed to "Director disposition (DEFERRED 2026-05-07; reopens on N=2
   trigger event)". Original ratification asks recorded as FROZEN; revisit
   at N=2 trigger event with then-current substrate-state grep. Eliminates
   live-now-ratify framing that conflicted with status-header DEFERRED.

Both canvases now single live authority — RATIFIED/DEFERRED dispositions,
no internal ratification-ask drift. Future re-ratification (Q-Lens-Target-
Context at N=2 trigger) refreshes options matrix at that point per
substrate-state-honesty discipline.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — separate live N=1 from reopen-only future N=2

openai-pro APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): canvas
line 127 mixed live N=1 authority with speculative N=2 candidate in one
current-state cost count.

Per P1 Documentation Describes Live State + P2 single-authority metadata:
the live count at HEAD is `cost × 3 targets = 3 per-target instances` (× 4
authoring-multiplier per Option (ii) Con = 12 fns). The `emission_provenance
× 3` figure is a reopen-only future scenario that materializes only if
emission_provenance becomes the second real target-context lens at producer-
wiring landing time.

Updated to separate the two clearly: live count + reopen-only future
scenario marked separately. Aligns with the grep-verified N=1 finding
established earlier in canvas §3.

* docs(proposals): Q-Complexity-Composition-Layering canvas — DRAFT (factoring tested, ε precedent does NOT apply)

Director authorized canvas authoring at #828 c#4402669133 as
parallel structure to Q-Cost-Composition-Layering (ε RATIFIED). Substrate-
grep on src/v3/lenses/complexity.dag at HEAD shows the factoring claim
DIFFERS from cost-lens:

- Cost-lens needed (target-agnostic shape × target-specific values)
  factoring → Rust-side composition (ε)
- Complexity-lens has NO target-specific axis; output is structural
  property of DAG topology + algebra-instance composition; substrate-
  native fully-on-.dag-side completion

Mgr provisional reading: ε precedent does NOT apply; complexity-lens
BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION is direct slice-tier substrate authoring (carrier
introduction follows SymbolicCost precedent + T-E-P P1 carrier
consumption). Director ratification ask: Q1 (factoring finding correct),
Q2 (slice-tier directly bypassing canvas), Q3 (fresh worker pin).

Cross-Mgr: Verification Mgr (#2075) pinged on v2-oracle snapshot capture
status (cross-cutting prerequisite for #1950/#1951 cementing dispatch).

* docs(briefs): T-LBP complexity-lens substrate-completion worker brief (Q1/Q2/Q3 RATIFIED)

Pre-authored brief for complexity-lens BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION substrate
work per Director Q1/Q2/Q3 ratification at #828 c#4402714255.

Three deliverables: carrier introduction (ComplexityCost / WorkSpan /
AsymptoticClass following SymbolicCost precedent) + lens widening
(complexity.dag PROXY → COMPLETE) + T-E-P P1 carrier consumption
(DescentEvidence / CallPattern / SubValueRelation for asymptotic
classification of recursive-call behavior).

Indirect-variant dependency surfaced as worker-grep concern at slice-
authoring time (T-E-P P1 Slice 5+ pending; eager-bat-178 stream).

Cementing test (#1950) is separate downstream brief; v2-oracle snapshot
ownership pending Q4 cross-Mgr ratification.

Worker pin: fresh-pool pick at dispatch time (NOT eager-bat-178 per
Director Q3 framing; NOT fierce-ram-21 busy with cost-lens ε).

Same-window-dispatch discipline applies post-canvas-merge (PR #2197).

* docs(briefs): rewrite complexity-lens brief consuming live design authority (codex BLOCKING fix)

Codex BLOCKING (3 findings) at #2199 sha 7a8bb6d:
1. Brief authored against missing canvas instead of reconciling with
   docs/design-complexity-lens-behavioral-completeness.md (which exists
   at HEAD with comprehensive substrate spec)
2. Producer coverage treated as optional corpus scope; should be hard
   T-E-P-Producer-Broadening prerequisite
3. Stale/non-in-repo planning authority cited; should be r3-structure.md
   row 146 (T-LBP slice 1)

All three BLOCKING findings VALID — substrate-grep-before-authoring
discipline failure on my part (feedback_substrate_grep_before_authoring
already memorialized; violated own discipline).

Rewrite delegates carrier shape, dimension wiring, and consumer rewrite
to live design doc §§1.1-1.6 verbatim:
- §1.1 SymbolicCost — already at algebra.dag; no change
- §1.2 SizeVariable — display_name enrichment
- §1.3 work_dimension + span_dimension — two AnalysisDimension instances
- §1.4 AsymptoticClass + BoundedLattice instance
- §1.5 Certainty (cost-aware composition; no lattice)
- §1.6 cost_bound_to_symbolic projection
- §1.7 ComplexitySummary record + lens widening

T-E-P P1 hard prerequisite per design's authority discipline + r3-
structure.md row 146; STOP-and-PING if T-E-P P1 not COMPLETE at slice
authoring time. Authority cites updated to live r3-structure.md row 146.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas — DRAFT (canvas-tier P1 procedure per Q6 RATIFIED)

Director Q6 RATIFIED canvas-tier-required at #828 c#4403163639
for PerfWithinBaseline TestPredicate variant authoring. Three substantive
substrate-shape questions resolved:

Q1 baseline shape: (a) literal-Int rejected as strict-mirror-of-CostBounded
defeats semantic load; (b) DeclarationRef-to-stored-data composes
LensOutputEquals + data X: SymbolicCost precedent at HEAD; (c) runtime-
fixture-injection over-authors. Mgr lean (b).

Q2 ComparisonOp composition: (i) reuse existing ComparisonOp via test-
runner-side resolution matches LensOutputEquals path; (ii) new relative-
op-set introduces parallel-representation debt. Mgr lean (i).

Q3 baseline-storage scope: (α) in-scope slice authors example data; (β)
out-of-scope variant-only slice + PB consumer authors baseline data
matches existing layering. Mgr lean (β).

Combined Mgr lean: Q1(b) + Q2(i) + Q3(β) — variant authored as
compositional extension; baseline-storage is PB consumer-tier work.

Cross-Mgr: PB Mgr #2138 worker (crisp-swift-433) holds dispatch on #2204
land; T-Tier3-Dissolution #2085 R-4 prereq encoded.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas REVISED (supersedes wrong-shape original)

Director disposition at #828 c#4403265220 authorized
supersession after BLOCKING at PR #2209 c#4403246233 verified VALID:
original canvas conflated symbolic SymbolicCost (cost-lens substrate)
with wall-clock measured median/p99 baseline (T-Tier3 perf gate
substrate per docs/r3-structure.md:225 + :461 Director-locked 2026-04-28).

Revised canvas frames as two-path ratification:
- P1 author full perf-budget substrate in-R3 (multi-slice; pattern-5
  genuinely-novel substrate-fact-introduction)
- P2 explicitly post-R3 per Director-locked recommendation (zero in-R3
  effort; structural close per r3-structure.md:461 'R3 deliverable is
  structural close; perf is downstream')

Mgr lean: P2 — Director-locked recommendation explicit; trigger-
condition ('someone authors perf-budget claim with concrete numbers
and tooling') not met; R3 horizon constraint argues against multi-
slice perf-budget substrate adding to 5-orthogonal-dependency picture.

Original canvas at q-perf-within-baseline-canvas.md retained with
SUPERSEDED-BY header per durable-decision-record discipline.

5th discipline-failure of 2026-05-08 cycle: substrate-grep verified
substrate-precedent but missed consumer-side requirement at canonical
authority doc; Director self-flagged symmetric two-axis verification
gap; canvas-finding-taxonomy needs precondition 'consumer-side
requirement grep-verified at canonical authority doc'.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas-revised — correct trigger-condition framing per Director c#4403297623

Director caught second-axis grep failure on revised canvas: my P2
reasoning #1 ("path-trigger condition for P1 is not met") was
structurally wrong. Existing tooling at HEAD substantially meets the
Director-locked 2026-04-28 trigger-condition ("someone authors the
perf-budget claim with concrete numbers and tooling"):

- docs/briefs/r3-pb-tier3-perf-budget-worker.md
- docs/audit/c1-tier3-perf-budget-readiness-matrix.md
- src/v3/compiler/benches/tier3_mirror_perf.rs
- docs/audit/c1-tier3-baseline-capture-procedure.md
- docs/audit/c1-r3-canonical-bench-host-decision-matrix.md

Plus thresholds (≤2× median, ≤5× p99) + capture discipline (N=3 min,
N=5 preferred) + canonical bench host option matrix.

P1 is bridging existing tooling to substrate (compositional-extension),
NOT multi-slice greenfield genuinely-novel pattern-5 as originally
framed. Smaller scope than canvas-finding-taxonomy pattern 5 implies.

Path-call genuinely depends on PB Mgr's R-3 (canonical CI bench host)
+ R-7 (tier3_baseline.json baseline-capture path) decisions per their
audit response at c#4403059897. Path-call DEFERRED to cross-Mgr
coordination outcome with PB Mgr (#2074); Substrate Mgr surfaces with
corrected framing this turn.

Sixth discipline-failure of cycle (mine, second-axis grep gap on
existing-tooling state); same-class as Director's first-axis grep gap
on consumer-side requirement at the prior turn. Memorialized as
two-axis verification discipline anchor.

* docs(proposals): Q-ValueBody-Drift-Resolution canvas — DRAFT (codegen-generation lean)

D1 substrate-shape question per Q-ValueBody-Isomorphism RATIFIED at
#828 c#4403972737. Variant-inventory readiness input from
PR #2218 (merged 2026-05-08) confirms drift: Rust 5 variants vs
substrate 3 constructors; asymmetry on Scalar+List Rust-only +
Map payload-parity-with-semantic-gap.

Two-axis verification at HEAD:
- Substrate-precedent: codegen tooling exists (regen_bootstrap_emit;
  5 _generated.rs files; regen_bootstrap binary). Pattern-3 strict-
  mirror codegen extension applies; no pattern-5 P1 procedure.
- Consumer-side requirement: V1 worker brief explicitly names mirror-
  parity-vs-codegen-generation as D1 path-pair.

Mgr lean: (b) codegen-generation. Path (a) mirror-parity perpetuates
parallel-representation debt; (b) dissolves the dual-taxonomy class
by construction (substrate canonical, Rust codegens). Map dup-key gap
handled via (ii) Rust-side post-codegen wrapping (substrate stays
minimal).

Director ratification ask: D1 (b) + D1-followup (ii).

Carrier slice path post-ratification: extend regen_bootstrap_emit;
add Scalar+List constructors to substrate; regen + remove hand-Rust
enum; handle Map dup-key per ratified followup. Worker pin fresh-pool
per same-window-dispatch.

* docs(briefs): Substrate bridge SourceSpan.file participation retirement worker brief

Authored for gunbc#1958 Substrate-owned bridge slice. Targets audit-row #2
(kernel Bool patch BOOL_TYPES_FILE) + row #6 (pipeline authority
PIPELINE_AUTHORITY_FILE) per r3-program-plan.md §5 line 353 scope-narrowing.
Sibling #1959 closed as already-retired by PR #1272.

* docs(briefs): S5 Variant-aware projection carrier canvas (#1947)

Surfaces 3 carrier-shape options (α RestResponseProjection variant-tag /
β Declaration variant_projection_metadata / γ free-standing CoproductProjection)
for Director ratification before worker brief authoring. Mgr-tier recommendation
= γ (DeclarationRef-keyed, avoids tag-string-as-identity bridge).

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan.file brief — same-slice prerequisite + section anchor

Director calibration (gunbc#2079 #issuecomment-...):
1. Promote ratchet-test cross-Mgr handoff from conditional Acceptance #4
   to upfront same-slice BLOCKING prerequisite gate (per
   feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline).
2. Replace `r3-program-plan.md:353` line-cite with `§5 Y4 scope-clarification`
   section anchor (per feedback_section_anchors_over_line_numbers).

Code-line anchors in bootstrap.rs left as-is (anchor sites worker navigates to).

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan.file brief — umbrella stays Open per P2 ledger discipline

Address BLOCKING inline review at line 46: bridge_source_span_file_participation_retired
is an Open umbrella whose green predicate is "no production code path consults
SourceSpan.file" per r3-structure.md:115. Partial retirement was explicitly
rejected 2026-04-29 (Director acceptance #1130 / dispatch #1139).

Changes:
- Add Ledger-discipline preamble: umbrella row stays Open; receipt updates
  audit-packet enumeration, NOT bridge_ledger.dag.
- Acceptance #3 reframed: do NOT mutate bridge_ledger.dag; mark rows #2 + #6
  retired in the audit packet only.
- Authority anchor updated: status=Open (not Proposed); add r3-structure.md:115
  + bridge_ledger.dag:125-129 line refs.
- Cross-Mgr section reframed: umbrella ratchet cannot flip on this PR alone;
  Verification's ledger-zero audit progress field is post-merge tracking,
  not a same-slice pre-merge blocker. Reconciles with BLOCKING finding
  (Director calibration #1 assumed umbrella ratchet could flip on partial
  retirement, which r3-structure.md:115 forbids).

* docs(briefs): S5 CoproductProjection worker brief — γ ratified (#1947)

Director ratification of option γ at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394369848.
Free-standing CoproductProjection carrier in src/v3/std/, DeclarationRef-keyed,
typed WireTagValue leaf, 4 same-slice acceptance gates.

Surfaces 3 substrate observations for STOP-and-PING (DeclarationRef String
alias; FieldRef does-not-exist-at-HEAD; tag_field String asymmetry) — worker
must escalate, not silently work around. PB Mgr cross-Mgr ping at carrier
landing (heads-up, not blocker).

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan.file brief — resolve Acceptance #4 / Cross-Mgr contradiction

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at PR #2079 #issuecomment-... flagged Acceptance #4
("ratchet test passes ... confirmed-present at HEAD before merge") contradicting
the reframed Cross-Mgr section ("No same-slice ratchet-test gate applies; post-merge
tracking only"). Both said different things about whether the umbrella ratchet
is a pre-merge blocker.

Resolution: Acceptance #4 reframed to explicitly state "No umbrella-ratchet
pre-merge gate" — worker does NOT wait for Verification ratchet authoring;
acceptance for this slice is the audit-packet receipt update in #3. Cross-Mgr
handoff also updated to remove "ratchet authoring" from Verification's same-slice
duties.

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* docs(briefs): S5 brief — absorb Director pre-ratifications for 3 STOP-and-PING items

Director pre-ratified dispositions at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394416049:
1. DeclarationRef alias: accept (b) + debt note (re-escalate only on same-slice break)
2. FieldRef: grep-decide between InputFieldRef-as-specialization vs rename
3. tag_field String asymmetry: typed introduction + debt note for migration

Worker proceeds without re-pinging unless evidence forces escalation. STOP-criteria
section narrowed accordingly.

* docs(r3): Q-Reification Gate A receipt — Option A (Dag-as-carrier)

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394427814 + proposal merge
at PR #2096 (commit fec8692): src/v3/std/substrate.dag::Dag IS the reflected
program; no new substrate carrier required. ReflectedProgram<T> rejected.

Gate A patches:
1. r3-program-plan.md §10.3: new Q-Reification row marked RATIFIED with PR #2096
   merge link + Gate A receipt scope (this PR + #1960 closed-as-non-addition).
2. r3-v-pattern-a-tc1-v1-worker.md: 3 sites — status header (Q-Reification
   CLEARED, Branch B η non-vacuity remains), worker-pin gate, E6-G1.a/E3
   producer dependency. Replaces ReflectedProgram<T> with consumer-wiring
   nuance: lens fold consumes Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator.
3. r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md: 2 sites — same nuance: deferred
   work is consumer-wiring, NOT a separate carrier.
4. r3-pr-e8-w1-producer-contract-test-plan-worker.md: 1 site — fold-over-Dag
   reframe.

Receipt of pass-by-construction: this PR adds NO new .dag declaration to
src/v3/std/. The ratification is structurally a non-addition (Option A
correctness proof per same-slice dissolution discipline).

* docs(briefs): S5 — delete superseded canvas + name dissolution trigger for tag_field asymmetry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings (P2 single-authority
+ P5 dissolution trigger).

Fixes:
1. Delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s5-variant-aware-projection-carrier-canvas.md
   (superseded by the γ-ratified worker brief in same PR; would otherwise leave
   two current-looking S5 status authorities post-merge — one saying ratification
   pending, one saying γ ratified).
2. Substrate observation #3 (tag_field String/FieldRef asymmetry) now carries a
   binding named dissolution trigger: when FieldRef exists as top-level carrier
   AND InputFieldRef is classified, migrate InternallyTaggedObject.tag_field via
   follow-on Substrate hygiene PR. Worker MUST add debt-paydown row to authoritative
   debt ledger before merging carrier-introduction PR.

* docs(r3): Q-Reification row — fix invariant cite (C-1 → P2)

cursor review at gunbc#2079 #issuecomment-... flagged C-1 as mis-keyed:
INVARIANTS.md C-1 is "missing args fail closed; no LitNull sentinels" (P3
fail-closed family), not parallel-representation/duplicate-authority. The
correct cite for rejecting a parallel ReflectedProgram<T> alongside Dag is
P2 single authority (INVARIANTS.md line 148: cost of change is proportional
to how many files encode the same fact).

Cite updated to "INVARIANTS.md P2 single authority" with inline gloss.

* docs(briefs): S5 — name dissolution trigger for DeclarationRef alias debt

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: substrate observation #1 had desired
endpoint ("future structural promotion of DeclarationRef") but no checkable
dissolution trigger — same P5 gap that #3 (tag_field asymmetry) had been fixed
for in commit 2601d7d.

Trigger now binding: promote DeclarationRef when EITHER
  (a) audit-row #14 (declaration_name_preference_rank / declaration_by_name
      rank-table) closes — dsl/std ↔ src/v3/std module convergence makes
      name-keyed identity unambiguous and structural module identity available,
  OR
  (b) any DeclarationRef-typed consumer surfaces a string-identity bridge per
      feedback_opaque_strings_attract_heuristics (heuristic patching, naming-
      convention dispatch, suffix/prefix matching).

Worker MUST add debt-paydown row before merging carrier-introduction PR (same
pattern as the tag_field debt requirement).

* docs: complete Q-Reification stale-cite sweep — e6-g1a brief :169 + Q-PAFS row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md:169
still said TC1/V1 "waits for Q-Reification and the carrier landing", contradicting
the same brief's lines 15-19 + 148-153 saying Dag IS the carrier and no separate
carrier lands.

Fixed:
1. e6-g1a brief line 167-170 paragraph: clarified V1 waits for consumer-wiring
   work (lens fold consuming Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator), NOT
   for a carrier-introduction.
2. r3-program-plan.md:954 Q-PAFS row text was the same shape: "Resume after
   Q-Reification + ReflectedProgram<T>" — contradicted my new Q-Reification row
   in the same diff. Updated: Q-Reification STOP CLEARED 2026-05-07 (Option A);
   remaining hold = Branch B η non-vacuity only.

Out-of-scope-for-this-PR: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-feasibility-probe.md
contains 4 stale cites but is not modified in this PR; stale-on-main can be
swept in a follow-up if needed (single source of truth is the e6-g1a-static-lens
worker brief, not the feasibility probe per Q-PAFS Path A acceptance).

* docs(briefs): S5 — fix InputFieldRef mis-read; reframe observations #2 + #3

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079 line 22: my brief mis-read services.dag:28-36.
The text actually says "No separate InputFieldRef carrier is introduced here,
since ParamToken.name already carries the same shape and adding a wrapper would
duplicate without strengthening the structural invariant" — i.e., InputFieldRef
does NOT exist; the comment REJECTS the wrapper.

Fixes:
1. Substrate observation #2 reframed: no FieldRef-shaped carrier exists at HEAD;
   services.dag:28-36 precedent argues against wrapper unless it strengthens
   structural invariant. New (a)/(b) STOP-and-PING:
   (a) follow services.dag precedent — wire_tag_field: String + key invariant
       on wire_tag_values + fixture-load fail-closed check;
   (b) introduce typed FieldRef — must justify per "duplicate without
       strengthening" test.
2. Carrier shape (line 19): wire_tag_field: FieldRef → {String|FieldRef}
   pending observation #2 resolution.
3. Substrate observation #3 reframed: InternallyTaggedObject asymmetry is
   conditional on path (b); under path (a) no asymmetry exists. Trigger
   correspondingly conditional. Removed stale "InputFieldRef classified" trigger
   clause.

* docs(briefs): S5 — consolidate split per-variant maps into single keyed entry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: CoproductProjection shape split
per-variant data across two parallel maps (variant_field_projections +
wire_tag_values), admitting illegal states where keysets drift (P2 boundary
discipline / illegal-states-unrepresentable).

Fix: introduce CoproductVariantProjection { field_projection, wire_tag_value }
as the per-variant keyed value; CoproductProjection.variant_projections becomes
Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection>. Single keyed authority per variant.

Director's binding constraint #2 enumerated the two fields separately but said
"refine in implementation as ergonomics demand" — consolidation preserves the
substantive constraints (typed WireTagValue leaf, structural per-variant
projection) while enforcing keyset alignment by carrier shape.

Empty-payload variants encoded via FieldProjection::Empty constructor (or
analog), not via map-absence.

* docs(briefs): S5 — fix stale split-map vocab in path (a) + scope STOP-and-PING umbrella

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings.

1. Path (a) at line 43 still referenced "Map<VariantId, WireTagValue> key invariant
   on wire_tag_values" — that's the superseded split-map vocab; the consolidated
   shape is Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection> on variant_projections.
   Path (a) now references the consolidated map; per-variant WireTagValue lives
   inside CoproductVariantProjection.

2. Pre-ratification umbrella at line 36 said "all 3 dispositions pre-ratified,
   proceed without re-pinging" — but observation #2 was re-opened after the
   codex InputFieldRef finding and explicitly says STOP-and-PING. Contradictory.
   Umbrella now scoped: observations #1 + #3 are pre-ratified; #2 is re-opened
   STOP-and-PING — worker MUST escalate before choosing path (a) vs (b).

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof canvas — 4-residual coproduct-dissolution audit

Director ratified split disposition at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394696074:
descent_execution_proof STANDS ALONE (consumer-side termination-contract
substrate function with fail-closed residual enumeration; folding into
T-E-P-Producer-Broadening explicitly rejected — different concern axis).

Canvas surfaces 3 carrier-shape options for the residual enumeration per
Director's coproduct-dissolution audit suggestion:

α: 4-variant coproduct verbatim from §10.3 row 966 (Missing | Unknown |
   Incomplete | NonStrict)
β: 3-axis dimensional product (presence × completeness × strictness)
γ (recommended): reuse DescentEvidence at termination.dag:14-17 for
   "absent/unknown" via EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) payload-variant +
   separate EvidenceIncomplete — ratchets variant count 4 → 2 via dimensional
   folding while honoring services.dag "no parallel wrapper" precedent.

Mgr recommendation γ; β rejected unless 3 axes provably compose orthogonally.

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan brief Row #6 — derive from bootstrap_authority map, no new enum variant

codex BLOCKING (post-merge of #2079, on commit 85ceb85 — same brief is now on
main): my Row #6 disposition told the worker to introduce a new
BootstrapAuthority::Pipeline variant ("extend the enum if needed"). That
violates P2 single-authority — src/v3/std/bootstrap_authority.dag:90 already
has "src/v3/compiler/pipeline.dag": CompilerAuthority, classifying pipeline.dag
under the existing CompilerAuthority variant. The :14-17 comment is explicit:
"the path itself is the BootstrapAuthoritySet map key; variants carry no
duplicate path payload" — single authority, not extension-by-variant.

Fix: Row #6 now instructs worker to derive the typed key from the existing
bootstrap_authority-map witness (BootstrapAuthorityKey threading the existing
CompilerAuthority classifier), refining the constructor surface if needed —
NOT introducing a new enum variant. STOP-and-PING criteria updated to forbid
new-variant resolution under any path.

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof worker brief — γ ratified (2-variant residual)

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395060514:
- DescentResidual = EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) | EvidenceIncomplete
  (4 → 2 dissolution: Missing+Unknown fold via DescentUnknown injection;
  NonStrict folds via NonIncreasing wrap; Incomplete retained — different
  concern axis from evidence-lattice)
- DescentEvidence 3-variant lattice at termination.dag:14-17 confirmed as
  authoritative composition target
- Type signature from §10.3 row 966 confirmed verbatim-binding

Director-asked canvas-shape verification absorbed: worker STOPs if
EvidenceIncomplete decomposes into payload-variants (timeout / depth-bound /
evaluator-error-during-proof-construction); proceeds as 2-variant otherwise.

7 same-slice acceptance gates incl Evaluator E2 #1971 consumer wiring in same
PR + §10.3 row 966 row-text refresh to cite γ-disposition.

Worker pin: quick-koi-190 (pre-authorized per §10.3 row 966).

Auto-spawn HOLD per L-sized threshold; surgical-recreate path ratified
case-by-case if critical path blocked.

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — narrow EvidenceUnknown payload via NonStrictEvidence subset; delete superseded canvas

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2105: 2 findings.

1. BLOCKING (LAYER MODEL / illegal states unrepresentable): worker brief
   shape `EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence)` admitted EvidenceUnknown(Strict)
   even though the canvas itself acknowledged Strict-isn't-a-residual as
   illegal. P2 requires API-level enforcement, not prose convention.

   Fix: introduce typed subset `NonStrictEvidence = NonIncreasing |
   DescentUnknown`; residual now `EvidenceUnknown(NonStrictEvidence)` —
   illegal-states-unrepresentable by construction. NonStrictEvidence lands in
   same file as DescentResidual; composes with existing 3-variant
   DescentEvidence via inhabitation, not re-definition.

2. NON-BLOCKING (live-state drift): canvas + worker brief both visible with
   "ratification needed" vs "ratified" status — same P2 single-authority
   shape as the S5 canvas/worker-brief co-existence at #2079.

   Fix: delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-descent-execution-proof-canvas.md
   (worker brief frontmatter already names it as superseded; with canvas
   gone the live authority is unambiguous).

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — section-anchor cite for §10.3 row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2105 line 47: my brief cited "§10.3 row 966" but the
actual line is now 986 (after my Q-Reification row insert in PR #2079 shifted
§10.3 by 20 lines). Reviewer's "no such section" claim is wrong on substance
(file + section + row all exist) but the line drift IS real.

Fix per feedback_section_anchors_over_line_numbers (Director calibration in
gunbc#2079): replaced all "§10.3 row 966" with "§10.3 Q-EVAL-Descent-
Termination-Contract row" — name-anchor instead of line-anchor, drift-immune.
5 occurrences cleaned (closure predicate, acceptance gate #3, gate #5, STOP
criterion, worker pin justification). Stylistic "row row-text" repetition
collapsed to "row text".

* docs(briefs): T-CostLens-Composition canvas — Lens<SymbolicCost> composition shape (#1957)

Pre-staged per Director endorsement of T-CostLens-Composition canvas-shape
authoring. Surfaces 3 composition options for the Lens<SymbolicCost> instance:

α: two separate lenses, externally joined — REJECTED (violates §1.8 gate #39
   no_coercion_cost_dimension by construction)
β: single Lens<SymbolicCost> with composed witness in read — strong but
   requires Lens<C> carrier-shape refactor (target-context threading)
γ (recommended): Lens<SymbolicCost> reads structural cost via algebra-fold +
   target-realization composed via existing Lookup<SymbolicCost> substrate at
   lookup.dag:48-60 — preserves generic Lens<C> carrier; satisfies all 4 §1.8
   gates (#37-40) by construction; aligns with feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first

Adjacent substrate verified at HEAD: lens.dag:70-77 (Lens<C>), algebra.dag:12+
(SymbolicCost 7-variant + Semiring), lookup.dag:48-60 (Lookup<SymbolicCost> +
MissingCost lens-boundary).

* docs(briefs): T-Workflow-As-Data canvas — audit-receipt-honoring scope-narrowing

Pre-staged per Director endorsement. Q-Workflow-As-Data-Carriers (§10.3 row 983)
named 5 carriers; grep-verified at HEAD that 4 of 5 ALREADY EXIST in
dsl/extdeps/github/actions.dag (218 lines). Only WorkflowSecret<Name> is
wholly net-new substrate.

Surfaces 3 options:
α: maximalist 5-carrier introduction in dsl/std/workflow.dag — REJECTED
   (admits parallel-representation debt vs audit-receipt #1771 reuse-first
   directive)
β (recommended): minimalist — only WorkflowSecret<Name> + Cron<Schedule>
   refinement net-new; lens consumes extdeps.github.actions directly. Honors
   feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first.
γ: like β + WorkflowObservationAnchor for typed lens-consumption-shape;
   natural ratchet from β if evidence accumulates.

Sequencing: dispatch-ready post-T-LBP COMPLETE per §S4 design-schedule:95;
brief authoring lands in advance per pre-staging discipline.

Pre-staged execution brief per Director endorsement of T-LAS demos via direct
worker brief path (no canvas — design-lock at docs/design-lens-application-

Pre-staged sibling brief covering both cost-basis demos (CRDT cost basis +

worker-brief path. Single brief for two demos because they share:
- Hard-prerequisite pattern (T-LAS Slice A + T-LBP cost-lens BEHAVIORALLY COMPLETE)

* docs(proposals): Q-Cost-Composition-Layering canvas (ε substrate-shape question)

Sibling canvas to q-lens-target-context-canvas.md. Director α-revised
supersession at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4400920572 elevated ε path (Rust-side
cost-composition wiring; preserves cost.dag PROXY) from slice-tier to
canvas-tier.

Authored per Q-PAFS template:
- Factoring claim: cost = (target-agnostic-shape SymbolicCost algebra) ×
  (target-specific-values per-primitive realization-cost data loaded Rust-side)
- Test against feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named anchor at
  gunbc#828 c#4400921658): pure objective concepts × language-agnostic
  LanguageSpec × emit-side composition. Compliance test for each layer.
- Pro factoring (ε structurally honest): SymbolicCost algebra is target-
  agnostic at HEAD; Rust-side composition is natural home; #38/#39 substrate-
  already-aligned per Slice 1 finding.
- Con factoring (ε is parallel-representation debt): N parallel Rust-side
  compositions if multiple lenses need target-context; lens-framework
  abstraction stops at substrate boundary; future lenses hit same dilemma.

Mgr provisional reading: factoring honest for COST specifically; NOT
generalizable. ε right framing IF cost is the singular need + factoring
holds. If N>1 target-context-needing lenses surface, β-extended (option
(i) from sibling canvas) becomes the right path.

Director ratification ask: 3-way choice
  (ε) Cost-specific Rust-side composition; preserves cost.dag PROXY
  (β-extended option (i)) Lens<C> refactor for LanguageSpec parameter
  (both sequenced) ε now for cost; β-extended later if N>1

Framework discipline anchors:
- feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named for this canvas)
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline

Canvas-pair complete; sibling canvas + this canvas address the deeper
cross-cutting axis: target-context belongs .dag-side (β-extended) or
emit-side (ε)? Director ratification across both informs T-CostLens
follow-on slice + downstream lens architecture.

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* docs: ε ratified canonical for cost; β-extended deferred to N=2 — gate updates

Director ratification at #2181 #issuecomment-... :
- (ε) RATIFIED standalone for cost composition (canonical-not-transitional)
- (β-extended option (i)) DEFERRED to N=2 trigger event (second lens with
  target-context need beyond cost)
- ("both sequenced") REJECTED as bridge-with-named-dissolution anti-pattern

Same-slice acceptance gates landed:

1. Q-Cost-Composition-Layering canvas: status updated from "ratification
   needed" → "Director-RATIFIED 2026-05-07 (ε standalone; canonical-not-
   transitional); PROPOSAL maturation pending"
2. Q-Lens-Target-Context canvas: status updated from "ratification needed"
   → "DRAFT/DEFERRED 2026-05-07; reopens on N=2 trigger event" (second lens
   with substantive target-context need; emission_provenance most likely
   candidate per cross-cutting analysis §3)
3. r3-program-plan.md gate-table rows #37 + #40 + #70: ε path ratified;
   close via Rust-side composition reading abstract SymbolicCost × per-
   primitive realization-cost in T-CostLens follow-on slice
4. r3-program-plan.md §10.3 T-CostLens-Composition row: ε ratified for
   #37/#40/#70; β-extended deferred per N=2 trigger
5. v3-lens-capability-register.md cost.dag row: ε disposition cited; #2175
   continues as cross-cutting umbrella tracker

Closed-system disposition per Director: if N=2 condition never fires,
β-extended never fires — structurally correct under closed-system design.

Framework discipline anchors honored:
- feedback_abstraction_layering: ε respects layering (objective concepts
  pure; target-specific values flow at emit time per Layer-3 honesty test)
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt: bounded to N=1; reopens at N=2
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline: ε ratified canonical, not
  transitional
- feedback_construction_over_ratchets: substrate-shape question answered

* docs(proposals): canvas inventory grounded in live src/v3/lenses/ registry

codex BLOCKING at #2181 (sha 00551a8): Q-Lens-Target-Context
canvas inventory was "copied from expected lens set instead of live
src/v3/lenses/ registry"; emission_provenance trigger references not
grounded in live file content.

Same shape of error as 3 prior BLOCKING reversals (Q-Reification, S5
DeclarationRef, T-CostLens merge-content). Substrate-state-grep is being
treated as retrospective-correction rather than prerequisite. Tightening:
this is the 4th occurrence; should be hard-prerequisite-discipline going
forward.

Fixes:

1. Q-Lens-Target-Context inventory section: replaced approximate "15+
   lens instances" framing with exact `ls`-grep registry (15 .dag files
   listed by name), notes infer_helpers + lower_helpers are helper
   modules authoring shared structural fns rather than top-level lens
   instances.

2. emission_provenance.dag analysis grounded in HEAD file status header:
   STATUS = STRUCTURALLY TERMINAL; LENS-INSTANCE FIXTURE-BOUND; BEHAVIORALLY
   DEFERRED. `read` body is fail-closed Empty stub. Lens does NOT currently
   read target-context inside fold; producer-side instrumentation records
   target-specific entries consumed via standard framework. Reframed as
   "ungrounded at HEAD" rather than "POSSIBLY target-context need" —
   re-evaluates at producer-wiring landing.

3. Net finding: N=1 confirmed at HEAD (cost.dag only); N=2 is empirically
   open pending lens-completion cycles, NOT pre-claimable.

Plus non-blocking improvement: Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 9 stale
`#issuecomment-...` placeholder replaced with concrete ratification
comment id `#issuecomment-4401584012`.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — absorb PM canvas-review concerns 1-3

Director relayed PM canvas review at #2068 c#4401627536:

Concern 1 (RESOLVED via grep-verify): empirical N=1 confirmation. PM ran
`grep -lc 'TypeRealization|CallableRealization|MethodTemplateContract|
target_realization|realization_cost|LanguageSpec' src/v3/lenses/*.dag`;
only cost.dag has 3 hits, all 14 others have 0 refs (including
emission_provenance.dag which I'd previously framed speculatively).

Net-finding §3 updated with grep result inline + "N=1 empirically grounded"
framing replacing speculative "secondary candidate" language. Empirical
basis for DEFERRED β-extended disposition strengthened.

Concern 2 (Option (ii) multiplier framing): per-target lens instances
replicate the entire Lens<C> authoring surface — N×M × 4 (carrier + monoid
sequential + branch + iterate) authoring overhead. Updated Con bullet to
reflect the multiplier explicitly: 3 targets × 1 cost lens × 4 = 12 authored
fns; grows to 36 if 3 lenses need target-context. Cites
feedback_parallel_representation_debt as the P2 framing.

Concern 3 (Option (i) threading cost quantification): replaced narrative
"threading cost is real but manageable" with quantified breakdown — ~15
signature changes + 14 ignore-parameter patterns + 1 consumer + cementing-
test revalidation. Helps future Director ratification at N=2 trigger event.

All 3 amendments are docs-only refinements; ε ratification at gunbc#2181
c#4401584012 unchanged. Strengthens canvas as durable substrate-shape
decision record.

* docs(proposals): canvases — collapse stale ratification-ask sections post-ratification

codex BLOCKING at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): both canvases had stale
"Director ratification ask" sections after status headers were updated to
RATIFIED/DEFERRED. Per INVARIANTS P1 "Documentation Describes Live State" —
canvas internally presented both settled and unsettled authority.

Fixes:

1. Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 69-76: "Director ratification ask"
   section collapsed to "Director ratification (RECEIVED 2026-05-07)" with
   ε ratified, β-extended deferred, "both sequenced" rejected. Three options
   recorded as historical with ratification cite. Eliminates the rejected
   "both, sequenced" line that conflicted with status-header "canonical-not-
   transitional" framing.

2. Q-Lens-Target-Context line 131-136: "Director ratification ask" section
   collapsed to "Director disposition (DEFERRED 2026-05-07; reopens on N=2
   trigger event)". Original ratification asks recorded as FROZEN; revisit
   at N=2 trigger event with then-current substrate-state grep. Eliminates
   live-now-ratify framing that conflicted with status-header DEFERRED.

Both canvases now single live authority — RATIFIED/DEFERRED dispositions,
no internal ratification-ask drift. Future re-ratification (Q-Lens-Target-
Context at N=2 trigger) refreshes options matrix at that point per
substrate-state-honesty discipline.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — separate live N=1 from reopen-only future N=2

openai-pro APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS at #2181 (sha be9a9c9): canvas
line 127 mixed live N=1 authority with speculative N=2 candidate in one
current-state cost count.

Per P1 Documentation Describes Live State + P2 single-authority metadata:
the live count at HEAD is `cost × 3 targets = 3 per-target instances` (× 4
authoring-multiplier per Option (ii) Con = 12 fns). The `emission_provenance
× 3` figure is a reopen-only future scenario that materializes only if
emission_provenance becomes the second real target-context lens at producer-
wiring landing time.

Updated to separate the two clearly: live count + reopen-only future
scenario marked separately. Aligns with the grep-verified N=1 finding
established earlier in canvas §3.

* docs(proposals): Q-Complexity-Composition-Layering canvas — DRAFT (factoring tested, ε precedent does NOT apply)

Director authorized canvas authoring at #828 c#4402669133 as
parallel structure to Q-Cost-Composition-Layering (ε RATIFIED). Substrate-
grep on src/v3/lenses/complexity.dag at HEAD shows the factoring claim
DIFFERS from cost-lens:

- Cost-lens needed (target-agnostic shape × target-specific values)
  factoring → Rust-side composition (ε)
- Complexity-lens has NO target-specific axis; output is structural
  property of DAG topology + algebra-instance composition; substrate-
  native fully-on-.dag-side completion

Mgr provisional reading: ε precedent does NOT apply; complexity-lens
BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION is direct slice-tier substrate authoring (carrier
introduction follows SymbolicCost precedent + T-E-P P1 carrier
consumption). Director ratification ask: Q1 (factoring finding correct),
Q2 (slice-tier directly bypassing canvas), Q3 (fresh worker pin).

Cross-Mgr: Verification Mgr (#2075) pinged on v2-oracle snapshot capture
status (cross-cutting prerequisite for #1950/#1951 cementing dispatch).

Pre-authored brief for complexity-lens BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION substrate
work per Director Q1/Q2/Q3 ratification at #828 c#4402714255.

Three deliverables: carrier introduction (ComplexityCost / WorkSpan /
AsymptoticClass following SymbolicCost precedent) + lens widening
(complexity.dag PROXY → COMPLETE) + T-E-P P1 carrier consumption
(DescentEvidence / CallPattern / SubValueRelation for asymptotic
classification of recursive-call behavior).

Indirect-variant dependency surfaced as worker-grep concern at slice-
authoring time (T-E-P P1 Slice 5+ pending; eager-bat-178 stream).

Cementing test (#1950) is separate downstream brief; v2-oracle snapshot
ownership pending Q4 cross-Mgr ratification.

Worker pin: fresh-pool pick at dispatch time (NOT eager-bat-178 per
Director Q3 framing; NOT fierce-ram-21 busy with cost-lens ε).

Same-window-dispatch discipline applies post-canvas-merge (PR #2197).

* docs(briefs): rewrite complexity-lens brief consuming live design authority (codex BLOCKING fix)

Codex BLOCKING (3 findings) at #2199 sha 7a8bb6d:
1. Brief authored against missing canvas instead of reconciling with
   docs/design-complexity-lens-behavioral-completeness.md (which exists
   at HEAD with comprehensive substrate spec)
2. Producer coverage treated as optional corpus scope; should be hard
   T-E-P-Producer-Broadening prerequisite
3. Stale/non-in-repo planning authority cited; should be r3-structure.md
   row 146 (T-LBP slice 1)

All three BLOCKING findings VALID — substrate-grep-before-authoring
discipline failure on my part (feedback_substrate_grep_before_authoring
already memorialized; violated own discipline).

Rewrite delegates carrier shape, dimension wiring, and consumer rewrite
to live design doc §§1.1-1.6 verbatim:
- §1.1 SymbolicCost — already at algebra.dag; no change
- §1.2 SizeVariable — display_name enrichment
- §1.3 work_dimension + span_dimension — two AnalysisDimension instances
- §1.4 AsymptoticClass + BoundedLattice instance
- §1.5 Certainty (cost-aware composition; no lattice)
- §1.6 cost_bound_to_symbolic projection
- §1.7 ComplexitySummary record + lens widening

T-E-P P1 hard prerequisite per design's authority discipline + r3-
structure.md row 146; STOP-and-PING if T-E-P P1 not COMPLETE at slice
authoring time. Authority cites updated to live r3-structure.md row 146.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas — DRAFT (canvas-tier P1 procedure per Q6 RATIFIED)

Director Q6 RATIFIED canvas-tier-required at #828 c#4403163639
for PerfWithinBaseline TestPredicate variant authoring. Three substantive
substrate-shape questions resolved:

Q1 baseline shape: (a) literal-Int rejected as strict-mirror-of-CostBounded
defeats semantic load; (b) DeclarationRef-to-stored-data composes
LensOutputEquals + data X: SymbolicCost precedent at HEAD; (c) runtime-
fixture-injection over-authors. Mgr lean (b).

Q2 ComparisonOp composition: (i) reuse existing ComparisonOp via test-
runner-side resolution matches LensOutputEquals path; (ii) new relative-
op-set introduces parallel-representation debt. Mgr lean (i).

Q3 baseline-storage scope: (α) in-scope slice authors example data; (β)
out-of-scope variant-only slice + PB consumer authors baseline data
matches existing layering. Mgr lean (β).

Combined Mgr lean: Q1(b) + Q2(i) + Q3(β) — variant authored as
compositional extension; baseline-storage is PB consumer-tier work.

Cross-Mgr: PB Mgr #2138 worker (crisp-swift-433) holds dispatch on #2204
land; T-Tier3-Dissolution #2085 R-4 prereq encoded.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas REVISED (supersedes wrong-shape original)

Director disposition at #828 c#4403265220 authorized
supersession after BLOCKING at PR #2209 c#4403246233 verified VALID:
original canvas conflated symbolic SymbolicCost (cost-lens substrate)
with wall-clock measured median/p99 baseline (T-Tier3 perf gate
substrate per docs/r3-structure.md:225 + :461 Director-locked 2026-04-28).

Revised canvas frames as two-path ratification:
- P1 author full perf-budget substrate in-R3 (multi-slice; pattern-5
  genuinely-novel substrate-fact-introduction)
- P2 explicitly post-R3 per Director-locked recommendation (zero in-R3
  effort; structural close per r3-structure.md:461 'R3 deliverable is
  structural close; perf is downstream')

Mgr lean: P2 — Director-locked recommendation explicit; trigger-
condition ('someone authors perf-budget claim with concrete numbers
and tooling') not met; R3 horizon constraint argues against multi-
slice perf-budget substrate adding to 5-orthogonal-dependency picture.

Original canvas at q-perf-within-baseline-canvas.md retained with
SUPERSEDED-BY header per durable-decision-record discipline.

5th discipline-failure of 2026-05-08 cycle: substrate-grep verified
substrate-precedent but missed consumer-side requirement at canonical
authority doc; Director self-flagged symmetric two-axis verification
gap; canvas-finding-taxonomy needs precondition 'consumer-side
requirement grep-verified at canonical authority doc'.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas-revised — correct trigger-condition framing per Director c#4403297623

Director caught second-axis grep failure on revised canvas: my P2
reasoning #1 ("path-trigger condition for P1 is not met") was
structurally wrong. Existing tooling at HEAD substantially meets the
Director-locked 2026-04-28 trigger-condition ("someone authors the
perf-budget claim with concrete numbers and tooling"):

- docs/briefs/r3-pb-tier3-perf-budget-worker.md
- docs/audit/c1-tier3-perf-budget-readiness-matrix.md
- src/v3/compiler/benches/tier3_mirror_perf.rs
- docs/audit/c1-tier3-baseline-capture-procedure.md
- docs/audit/c1-r3-canonical-bench-host-decision-matrix.md

Plus thresholds (≤2× median, ≤5× p99) + capture discipline (N=3 min,
N=5 preferred) + canonical bench host option matrix.

P1 is bridging existing tooling to substrate (compositional-extension),
NOT multi-slice greenfield genuinely-novel pattern-5 as originally
framed. Smaller scope than canvas-finding-taxonomy pattern 5 implies.

Path-call genuinely depends on PB Mgr's R-3 (canonical CI bench host)
+ R-7 (tier3_baseline.json baseline-capture path) decisions per their
audit response at c#4403059897. Path-call DEFERRED to cross-Mgr
coordination outcome with PB Mgr (#2074); Substrate Mgr surfaces with
corrected framing this turn.

Sixth discipline-failure of cycle (mine, second-axis grep gap on
existing-tooling state); same-class as Director's first-axis grep gap
on consumer-side requirement at the prior turn. Memorialized as
two-axis verification discipline anchor.

* docs(proposals): Q-ValueBody-Drift-Resolution canvas — DRAFT (codegen-generation lean)

D1 substrate-shape question per Q-ValueBody-Isomorphism RATIFIED at
#828 c#4403972737. Variant-inventory readiness input from
PR #2218 (merged 2026-05-08) confirms drift: Rust 5 variants vs
substrate 3 constructors; asymmetry on Scalar+List Rust-only +
Map payload-parity-with-semantic-gap.

Two-axis verification at HEAD:
- Substrate-precedent: codegen tooling exists (regen_bootstrap_emit;
  5 _generated.rs files; regen_bootstrap binary). Pattern-3 strict-
  mirror codegen extension applies; no pattern-5 P1 procedure.
- Consumer-side requirement: V1 worker brief explicitly names mirror-
  parity-vs-codegen-generation as D1 path-pair.

Mgr lean: (b) codegen-generation. Path (a) mirror-parity perpetuates
parallel-representation debt; (b) dissolves the dual-taxonomy class
by construction (substrate canonical, Rust codegens). Map dup-key gap
handled via (ii) Rust-side post-codegen wrapping (substrate stays
minimal).

Director ratification ask: D1 (b) + D1-followup (ii).

Carrier slice path post-ratification: extend regen_bootstrap_emit;
add Scalar+List constructors to substrate; regen + remove hand-Rust
enum; handle Map dup-key per ratified followup. Worker pin fresh-pool
per same-window-dispatch.

* docs(proposals): Q-ValueBody-Drift-Resolution canvas amend authority cite (codex BLOCKING fix)

Director ratified (α) amendment-PR at #828 c#4404398425
post-codex-BLOCKING at PR #2222 c#4404360699.

Canvas originally cited regen_bootstrap_emit.rs as codegen authority
for ValueBody runtime mirror; corrected to scripts/regen_runtime_mirrors.py
which is the substrate→Rust runtime-mirror generator (reads substrate.dag,
emits dag_scalar_generated.rs etc.). regen_bootstrap_emit.rs is a
separate codegen system that generates bootstrap_generated.rs (bootstrap
parser/lower compile snapshot).

D1 (b) codegen-generation ratification UNCHANGED; only authority-path
cites corrected. Carrier slice path at canvas §6-step plan now references
correct runtime-mirror generator. Canvas inline notes mark amendment
location for future-reader audit trail.

8th cycle-tier framing-failure (Mgr-tier; same fine-granularity gap
parallel to Director-tier failure at c#4404256128). Two-axis verification
discipline applied at insufficient granularity (verified codegen-tooling-
exists but didn't disambiguate against bootstrap-vs-runtime-mirror systems).

Discipline anchor refinement: when canvas cites a codegen system /
tooling / authority path, identify the SPECIFIC generator/handler for
the target-file-class. Don't accept 'tooling exists' at coarse granularity.

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan.file brief — umbrella stays Open per P2 ledger discipline

Address BLOCKING inline review at line 46: bridge_source_span_file_participation_retired

SourceSpan.file" per r3-structure.md:115. Partial retirement was explicitly
rejected 2026-04-29 (Director acceptance #1130 / dispatch #1139).

Changes:
- Add Ledger-discipline preamble: umbrella row stays Open; receipt updates
  audit-packet enumeration, NOT bridge_ledger.dag.
- Acceptance #3 reframed: do NOT mutate bridge_ledger.dag; mark rows #2 + #6
  retired in the audit packet only.
- Authority anchor updated: status=Open (not Proposed); add r3-structure.md:115
  + bridge_ledger.dag:125-129 line refs.
- Cross-Mgr section reframed: umbrella ratchet cannot flip on this PR alone;
  Verification's ledger-zero audit progress field is post-merge tracking,
  not a same-slice pre-merge blocker. Reconciles with BLOCKING finding
  (Director calibration #1 assumed umbrella ratchet could flip on partial
  retirement, which r3-structure.md:115 forbids).

Resolution: Acceptance #4 reframed to explicitly state "No umbrella-ratchet
pre-merge gate" — worker does NOT wait for Verification ratchet authoring;
acceptance for this slice is the audit-packet receipt update in #3. Cross-Mgr
handoff also updated to remove "ratchet authoring" from Verification's same-slice
duties.

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* docs(briefs): S5 brief — absorb Director pre-ratifications for 3 STOP-and-PING items

Director pre-ratified dispositions at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394416049:
1. DeclarationRef alias: accept (b) + debt note (re-escalate only on same-slice break)
2. FieldRef: grep-decide between InputFieldRef-as-specialization vs rename
3. tag_field String asymmetry: typed introduction + debt note for migration

Worker proceeds without re-pinging unless evidence forces escalation. STOP-criteria

* docs(r3): Q-Reification Gate A receipt — Option A (Dag-as-carrier)

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394427814 + proposal merge
at PR #2096 (commit fec869202): src/v3/std/substrate.dag::Dag IS the reflected
program; no new substrate carrier required. ReflectedProgram<T> rejected.

Gate A patches:
1. r3-program-plan.md §10.3: new Q-Reification row marked RATIFIED with PR #2096
   merge link + Gate A receipt scope (this PR + #1960 closed-as-non-addition).
2. r3-v-pattern-a-tc1-v1-worker.md: 3 sites — status header (Q-Reification
   CLEARED, Branch B η non-vacuity remains), worker-pin gate, E6-G1.a/E3
   producer dependency. Replaces ReflectedProgram<T> with consumer-wiring
   nuance: lens fold consumes Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator.
3. r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md: 2 sites — same nuance: deferred
   work is consumer-wiring, NOT a separate carrier.
4. r3-pr-e8-w1-producer-contract-test-plan-worker.md: 1 site — fold-over-Dag
   reframe.

Receipt of pass-by-construction: this PR adds NO new .dag declaration to
src/v3/std/. The ratification is structurally a non-addition (Option A
correctness proof per same-slice dissolution discipline).

* docs(briefs): S5 — delete superseded canvas + name dissolution trigger for tag_field asymmetry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings (P2 single-authority
+ P5 dissolution trigger).

Fixes:
1. Delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-s5-variant-aware-projection-carrier-canvas.md
   (superseded by the γ-ratified worker brief in same PR; would otherwise leave
   two current-looking S5 status authorities post-merge — one saying ratification
   pending, one saying γ ratified).
2. Substrate observation #3 (tag_field String/FieldRef asymmetry) now carries a
   binding named dissolution trigger: when FieldRef exists as top-level carrier
   AND InputFieldRef is classified, migrate InternallyTaggedObject.tag_field via
   follow-on Substrate hygiene PR. Worker MUST add debt-paydown row to authoritative
   debt ledger before merging carrier-introduction PR.

* docs(r3): Q-Reification row — fix invariant cite (C-1 → P2)

cursor review at gunbc#2079 #issuecomment-... flagged C-1 as mis-keyed:
INVARIANTS.md C-1 is "missing args fail closed; no LitNull sentinels" (P3
fail-closed family), not parallel-representation/duplicate-authority. The
correct cite for rejecting a parallel ReflectedProgram<T> alongside Dag is
P2 single authority (INVARIANTS.md line 148: cost of change is proportional
to how many files encode the same fact).

Cite updated to "INVARIANTS.md P2 single authority" with inline gloss.

* docs(briefs): S5 — name dissolution trigger for DeclarationRef alias debt

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: substrate observation #1 had desired
endpoint ("future structural promotion of DeclarationRef") but no checkable
dissolution trigger — same P5 gap that #3 (tag_field asymmetry) had been fixed
for in commit 2601d7d26.

Trigger now binding: promote DeclarationRef when EITHER
  (a) audit-row #14 (declaration_name_preference_rank / declaration_by_name
      rank-table) closes — dsl/std ↔ src/v3/std module convergence makes
      name-keyed identity unambiguous and structural module identity available,
  OR
  (b) any DeclarationRef-typed consumer surfaces a string-identity bridge per
      feedback_opaque_strings_attract_heuristics (heuristic patching, naming-
      convention dispatch, suffix/prefix matching).

Worker MUST add debt-paydown row before merging carrier-introduction PR (same
pattern as the tag_field debt requirement).

* docs: complete Q-Reification stale-cite sweep — e6-g1a brief :169 + Q-PAFS row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-static-lens-worker.md:169
still said TC1/V1 "waits for Q-Reification and the carrier landing", contradicting
the same brief's lines 15-19 + 148-153 saying Dag IS the carrier and no separate
carrier lands.

Fixed:
1. e6-g1a brief line 167-170 paragraph: clarified V1 waits for consumer-wiring
   work (lens fold consuming Dag via .dag body authority through Evaluator), NOT
   for a carrier-introduction.
2. r3-program-plan.md:954 Q-PAFS row text was the same shape: "Resume after
   Q-Reification + ReflectedProgram<T>" — contradicted my new Q-Reification row
   in the same diff. Updated: Q-Reification STOP CLEARED 2026-05-07 (Option A);
   remaining hold = Branch B η non-vacuity only.

Out-of-scope-for-this-PR: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g1a-option3-feasibility-probe.md
contains 4 stale cites but is not modified in this PR; stale-on-main can be
swept in a follow-up if needed (single source of truth is the e6-g1a-static-lens
worker brief, not the feasibility probe per Q-PAFS Path A acceptance).

* docs(briefs): S5 — fix InputFieldRef mis-read; reframe observations #2 + #3

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2079 line 22: my brief mis-read services.dag:28-36.
The text actually says "No separate InputFieldRef carrier is introduced here,
since ParamToken.name already carries the same shape and adding a wrapper would
duplicate without strengthening the structural invariant" — i.e., InputFieldRef
does NOT exist; the comment REJECTS the wrapper.

Fixes:
1. Substrate observation #2 reframed: no FieldRef-shaped carrier exists at HEAD;
   services.dag:28-36 precedent argues against wrapper unless it strengthens
   structural invariant. New (a)/(b) STOP-and-PING:
   (a) follow services.dag precedent — wire_tag_field: String + key invariant
       on wire_tag_values + fixture-load fail-closed check;
   (b) introduce typed FieldRef — must justify per "duplicate without
       strengthening" test.
2. Carrier shape (line 19): wire_tag_field: FieldRef → {String|FieldRef}
   pending observation #2 resolution.
3. Substrate observation #3 reframed: InternallyTaggedObject asymmetry is
   conditional on path (b); under path (a) no asymmetry exists. Trigger
   correspondingly conditional. Removed stale "InputFieldRef classified" trigger
   clause.

* docs(briefs): S5 — consolidate split per-variant maps into single keyed entry

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: CoproductProjection shape split
per-variant data across two parallel maps (variant_field_projections +
wire_tag_values), admitting illegal states where keysets drift (P2 boundary
discipline / illegal-states-unrepresentable).

Fix: introduce CoproductVariantProjection { field_projection, wire_tag_value }
as the per-variant keyed value; CoproductProjection.variant_projections becomes
Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection>. Single keyed authority per variant.

Director's binding constraint #2 enumerated the two fields separately but said
"refine in implementation as ergonomics demand" — consolidation preserves the
substantive constraints (typed WireTagValue leaf, structural per-variant
projection) while enforcing keyset alignment by carrier shape.

Empty-payload variants encoded via FieldProjection::Empty constructor (or
analog), not via map-absence.

* docs(briefs): S5 — fix stale split-map vocab in path (a) + scope STOP-and-PING umbrella

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2079: 2 BLOCKING findings.

1. Path (a) at line 43 still referenced "Map<VariantId, WireTagValue> key invariant
   on wire_tag_values" — that's the superseded split-map vocab; the consolidated
   shape is Map<VariantId, CoproductVariantProjection> on variant_projections.
   Path (a) now references the consolidated map; per-variant WireTagValue lives
   inside CoproductVariantProjection.

2. Pre-ratification umbrella at line 36 said "all 3 dispositions pre-ratified,
   proceed without re-pinging" — but observation #2 was re-opened after the
   codex InputFieldRef finding and explicitly says STOP-and-PING. Contradictory.
   Umbrella now scoped: observations #1 + #3 are pre-ratified; #2 is re-opened
   STOP-and-PING — worker MUST escalate before choosing path (a) vs (b).

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof canvas — 4-residual coproduct-dissolution audit

Director ratified split disposition at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4394696074:
descent_execution_proof STANDS ALONE (consumer-side termination-contract
substrate function with fail-closed residual enumeration; folding into
T-E-P-Producer-Broadening explicitly rejected — different concern axis).

Canvas surfaces 3 carrier-shape options for the residual enumeration per
Director's coproduct-dissolution audit suggestion:

α: 4-variant coproduct verbatim from §10.3 row 966 (Missing | Unknown |
   Incomplete | NonStrict)
β: 3-axis dimensional product (presence × completeness × strictness)
γ (recommended): reuse DescentEvidence at termination.dag:14-17 for
   "absent/unknown" via EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) payload-variant +
   separate EvidenceIncomplete — ratchets variant count 4 → 2 via dimensional
   folding while honoring services.dag "no parallel wrapper" precedent.

Mgr recommendation γ; β rejected unless 3 axes provably compose orthogonally.

* docs(briefs): SourceSpan brief Row #6 — derive from bootstrap_authority map, no new enum variant

codex BLOCKING (post-merge of #2079, on commit 85ceb85a — same brief is now on
main): my Row #6 disposition told the worker to introduce a new
BootstrapAuthority::Pipeline variant ("extend the enum if needed"). That
violates P2 single-authority — src/v3/std/bootstrap_authority.dag:90 already
has "src/v3/compiler/pipeline.dag": CompilerAuthority, classifying pipeline.dag
under the existing CompilerAuthority variant. The :14-17 comment is explicit:
"the path itself is the BootstrapAuthoritySet map key; variants carry no
duplicate path payload" — single authority, not extension-by-variant.

Fix: Row #6 now instructs worker to derive the typed key from the existing
bootstrap_authority-map witness (BootstrapAuthorityKey threading the existing
CompilerAuthority classifier), refining the constructor surface if needed —
NOT introducing a new enum variant. STOP-and-PING criteria updated to forbid
new-variant resolution under any path.

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof worker brief — γ ratified (2-variant residual)

Director ratification at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4395060514:
- DescentResidual = EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence) | EvidenceIncomplete
  (4 → 2 dissolution: Missing+Unknown fold via DescentUnknown injection;
  NonStrict folds via NonIncreasing wrap; Incomplete retained — different
  concern axis from evidence-lattice)
- DescentEvidence 3-variant lattice at termination.dag:14-17 confirmed as
  authoritative composition target
- Type signature from §10.3 row 966 confirmed verbatim-binding

Director-asked canvas-shape verification absorbed: worker STOPs if
EvidenceIncomplete decomposes into payload-variants (timeout / depth-bound /
evaluator-error-during-proof-construction); proceeds as 2-variant otherwise.

7 same-slice acceptance gates incl Evaluator E2 #1971 consumer wiring in same

* WIP: R3 Substrate Mgr — lane through R3 close

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — narrow EvidenceUnknown payload via NonStrictEvidence subset; delete superseded canvas

openai-pro REQUEST_CHANGES at gunbc#2105: 2 findings.

1. BLOCKING (LAYER MODEL / illegal states unrepresentable): worker brief
   shape `EvidenceUnknown(DescentEvidence)` admitted EvidenceUnknown(Strict)
   even though the canvas itself acknowledged Strict-isn't-a-residual as
   illegal. P2 requires API-level enforcement, not prose convention.

   Fix: introduce typed subset `NonStrictEvidence = NonIncreasing |
   DescentUnknown`; residual now `EvidenceUnknown(NonStrictEvidence)` —
   illegal-states-unrepresentable by construction. NonStrictEvidence lands in
   same file as DescentResidual; composes with existing 3-variant
   DescentEvidence via inhabitation, not re-definition.

2. NON-BLOCKING (live-state drift): canvas + worker brief both visible with
   "ratification needed" vs "ratified" status — same P2 single-authority
   shape as the S5 canvas/worker-brief co-existence at #2079.

   Fix: delete docs/briefs/r3-substrate-descent-execution-proof-canvas.md
   (worker brief frontmatter already names it as superseded; with canvas
   gone the live authority is unambiguous).

* docs(briefs): descent_execution_proof — section-anchor cite for §10.3 row

codex BLOCKING at gunbc#2105 line 47: my brief cited "§10.3 row 966" but the
actual line is now 986 (after my Q-Reification row insert in PR #2079 shifted
§10.3 by 20 lines). Reviewer's "no such section" claim is wrong on substance
(file + section + row all exist) but the line drift IS real.

Fix per feedback_section_anchors_over_line_numbers (Director calibration in
gunbc#2079): replaced all "§10.3 row 966" with "§10.3 Q-EVAL-Descent-
Termination-Contract row" — name-anchor instead of line-anchor, drift-immune.
5 occurrences cleaned (closure predicate, acceptance gate #3, gate #5, STOP
criterion, worker pin justification). Stylistic "row row-text" repetition
collapsed to "row text".

* docs(briefs): T-CostLens-Composition canvas — Lens<SymbolicCost> composition shape (#1957)

Pre-staged per Director endorsement of T-CostLens-Composition canvas-shape
authoring. Surfaces 3 composition options for the Lens<SymbolicCost> instance:

α: two separate lenses, externally joined — REJECTED (violates §1.8 gate #39
   no_coercion_cost_dimension by construction)
β: single Lens<SymbolicCost> with composed witness in read — strong but
   requires Lens<C> carrier-shape refactor (target-context threading)
γ (recommended): Lens<SymbolicCost> reads structural cost via algebra-fold +
   target-realization composed via existing Lookup<SymbolicCost> substrate at
   lookup.dag:48-60 — preserves generic Lens<C> carrier; satisfies all 4 §1.8
   gates (#37-40) by construction; aligns with feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first

Adjacent substrate verified at HEAD: lens.dag:70-77 (Lens<C>), algebra.dag:12+

dsl/extdeps/github/actions.dag (218 lines). Only WorkflowSecret<Name> is
wholly net-new substrate.

Surfaces 3 options:
α: maximalist 5-carrier introduction in dsl/std/workflow.dag — REJECTED
   (admits parallel-representation debt vs audit-receipt #1771 reuse-first
   directive)
β (recommended): minimalist — only WorkflowSecret<Name> + Cron<Schedule>
   refinement net-new; lens consumes extdeps.github.actions directly. Honors
   feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first.
γ: like β + WorkflowObservationAnchor for typed lens-consumption-shape;
   natural ratchet from β if evidence accumulates.

Director α-revised supersession at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4400920572 elevated
β-extended path (introduce first-precedent .dag-side fold-over-realization-rows
+ name active-target authority shape) from slice-tier to canvas-tier.

Authored per Q-PAFS template:
- Substrate-state at HEAD grep-verified (Lens<C>.read no target-context;
  zero .dag-side fold-over-realizations precedent; 15+ lens instances using
  generic Lens<C>)
- Binary question: should .dag-side lenses receive target-context for
  target-keyed reading?
- Options matrix: (i) LanguageSpec param to fold; (ii) per-target lens
  instances [parallel-representation debt]; (iii) global accessor [REJECTED
  global-state anti-pattern]
- Mgr provisional preference: (i)
- Cross-cutting: cost.dag load-bearing; emission_provenance.dag secondary;
  other 13+ lenses target-agnostic

Framework discipline anchors per Director corrections:
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt
- feedback_abstraction_layering (sibling canvas)

Sibling canvas (ε path): q-cost-composition-layering-canvas.md authoring
follows. Both canvases together address deeper cross-cutting axis: does
target-context belong .dag-side (β-extended) or emit-side (ε)?

* docs(proposals): Q-Cost-Composition-Layering canvas (ε substrate-shape question)

Sibling canvas to q-lens-target-context-canvas.md. Director α-revised
supersession at gunbc#828 #issuecomment-4400920572 elevated ε path (Rust-side
cost-composition wiring; preserves cost.dag PROXY) from slice-tier to
canvas-tier.

Authored per Q-PAFS template:
- Factoring claim: cost = (target-agnostic-shape SymbolicCost algebra) ×
  (target-specific-values per-primitive realization-cost data loaded Rust-side)
- Test against feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named anchor at
  gunbc#828 c#4400921658): pure objective concepts × language-agnostic
  LanguageSpec × emit-side composition. Compliance test for each layer.
- Pro factoring (ε structurally honest): SymbolicCost algebra is target-
  agnostic at HEAD; Rust-side composition is natural home; #38/#39 substrate-
  already-aligned per Slice 1 finding.
- Con factoring (ε is parallel-representation debt): N parallel Rust-side
  compositions if multiple lenses need target-context; lens-framework
  abstraction stops at substrate boundary; future lenses hit same dilemma.

Mgr provisional reading: factoring honest for COST specifically; NOT
generalizable. ε right framing IF cost is the singular need + factoring
holds. If N>1 target-context-needing lenses surface, β-extended (option
(i) from sibling canvas) becomes the right path.

Director ratification ask: 3-way choice
  (ε) Cost-specific Rust-side composition; preserves cost.dag PROXY
  (β-extended option (i)) Lens<C> refactor for LanguageSpec parameter
  (both sequenced) ε now for cost; β-extended later if N>1

Framework discipline anchors:
- feedback_abstraction_layering (Director-named for this canvas)
- feedback_parallel_representation_debt
- feedback_same_slice_dissolution_discipline

Canvas-pair complete; sibling canvas + this canvas address the deeper
cross-cutting axis: target-context belongs .dag-side (β-extended) or
emit-side (ε)? Director ratification across both informs T-CostLens
follow-on slice + downstream lens architecture.

* docs(proposals): canvas inventory grounded in live src/v3/lenses/ registry

codex BLOCKING at gunb-ai/gunbc#2181 (sha 00551a80): Q-Lens-Target-Context
canvas inventory was "copied from expected lens set instead of live
src/v3/lenses/ registry"; emission_provenance trigger references not
grounded in live file content.

Same shape of error as 3 prior BLOCKING reversals (Q-Reification, S5
DeclarationRef, T-CostLens merge-content). Substrate-state-grep is being
treated as retrospective-correction rather than prerequisite. Tightening:
this is the 4th occurrence; should be hard-prerequisite-discipline going
forward.

Fixes:

1. Q-Lens-Target-Context inventory section: replaced approximate "15+
   lens instances" framing with exact `ls`-grep registry (15 .dag files
   listed by name), notes infer_helpers + lower_helpers are helper
   modules authoring shared structural fns rather than top-level lens
   instances.

2. emission_provenance.dag analysis grounded in HEAD file status header:
   STATUS = STRUCTURALLY TERMINAL; LENS-INSTANCE FIXTURE-BOUND; BEHAVIORALLY
   DEFERRED. `read` body is fail-closed Empty stub. Lens does NOT currently
   read target-context inside fold; producer-side instrumentation records
   target-specific entries consumed via standard framework. Reframed as
   "ungrounded at HEAD" rather than "POSSIBLY target-context need" —
   re-evaluates at producer-wiring landing.

3. Net finding: N=1 confirmed at HEAD (cost.dag only); N=2 is empirically
   open pending lens-completion cycles, NOT pre-claimable.

Plus non-blocking improvement: Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 9 stale
`#issuecomment-...` placeholder replaced with concrete ratification
comment id `#issuecomment-4401584012`.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — absorb PM canvas-review concerns 1-3

Director relayed PM canvas review at gunb-ai/gunbc#2068 c#4401627536:

Concern 1 (RESOLVED via grep-verify): empirical N=1 confirmation. PM ran
`grep -lc 'TypeRealization|CallableRealization|MethodTemplateContract|
target_realization|realization_cost|LanguageSpec' src/v3/lenses/*.dag`;
only cost.dag has 3 hits, all 14 others have 0 refs (including
emission_provenance.dag which I'd previously framed speculatively).

Net-finding §3 updated with grep result inline + "N=1 empirically grounded"
framing replacing speculative "secondary candidate" language. Empirical
basis for DEFERRED β-extended disposition strengthened.

Concern 2 (Option (ii) multiplier framing): per-target lens instances
replicate the entire Lens<C> authoring surface — N×M × 4 (carrier + monoid
sequential + branch + iterate) authoring overhead. Updated Con bullet to
reflect the multiplier explicitly: 3 targets × 1 cost lens × 4 = 12 authored
fns; grows to 36 if 3 lenses need target-context. Cites
feedback_parallel_representation_debt as the P2 framing.

Concern 3 (Option (i) threading cost quantification): replaced narrative
"threading cost is real but manageable" with quantified breakdown — ~15
signature changes + 14 ignore-parameter patterns + 1 consumer + cementing-
test revalidation. Helps future Director ratification at N=2 trigger event.

All 3 amendments are docs-only refinements; ε ratification at gunbc#2181
c#4401584012 unchanged. Strengthens canvas as durable substrate-shape
decision record.

* docs(proposals): canvases — collapse stale ratification-ask sections post-ratification

codex BLOCKING at gunb-ai/gunbc#2181 (sha be9a9c94): both canvases had stale
"Director ratification ask" sections after status headers were updated to
RATIFIED/DEFERRED. Per INVARIANTS P1 "Documentation Describes Live State" —
canvas internally presented both settled and unsettled authority.

Fixes:

1. Q-Cost-Composition-Layering line 69-76: "Director ratification ask"
   section collapsed to "Director ratification (RECEIVED 2026-05-07)" with
   ε ratified, β-extended deferred, "both sequenced" rejected. Three options
   recorded as historical with ratification cite. Eliminates the rejected
   "both, sequenced" line that conflicted with status-header "canonical-not-
   transitional" framing.

2. Q-Lens-Target-Context line 131-136: "Director ratification ask" section
   collapsed to "Director disposition (DEFERRED 2026-05-07; reopens on N=2
   trigger event)". Original ratification asks recorded as FROZEN; revisit
   at N=2 trigger event with then-current substrate-state grep. Eliminates
   live-now-ratify framing that conflicted with status-header DEFERRED.

Both canvases now single live authority — RATIFIED/DEFERRED dispositions,
no internal ratification-ask drift. Future re-ratification (Q-Lens-Target-
Context at N=2 trigger) refreshes options matrix at that point per
substrate-state-honesty discipline.

* docs(proposals): Q-Lens-Target-Context — separate live N=1 from reopen-only future N=2

openai-pro APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS at gunb-ai/gunbc#2181 (sha be9a9c94): canvas
line 127 mixed live N=1 authority with speculative N=2 candidate in one
current-state cost count.

Per P1 Documentation Describes Live State + P2 single-authority metadata:
the live count at HEAD is `cost × 3 targets = 3 per-target instances` (× 4
authoring-multiplier per Option (ii) Con = 12 fns). The `emission_provenance
× 3` figure is a reopen-only future scenario that materializes only if
emission_provenance becomes the second real target-context lens at producer-
wiring landing time.

Updated to separate the two clearly: live count + reopen-only future
scenario marked separately. Aligns with the grep-verified N=1 finding
established earlier in canvas §3.

* docs(proposals): Q-Complexity-Composition-Layering canvas — DRAFT (factoring tested, ε precedent does NOT apply)

Director authorized canvas authoring at gunb-ai/gunbc#828 c#4402669133 as
parallel structure to Q-Cost-Composition-Layering (ε RATIFIED). Substrate-
grep on src/v3/lenses/complexity.dag at HEAD shows the factoring claim
DIFFERS from cost-lens:

- Cost-lens needed (target-agnostic shape × target-specific values)
  factoring → Rust-side composition (ε)
- Complexity-lens has NO target-specific axis; output is structural
  property of DAG topology + algebra-instance composition; substrate-
  native fully-on-.dag-side completion

Mgr provisional reading: ε precedent does NOT apply; complexity-lens
BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION is direct slice-tier substrate authoring (carrier
introduction follows SymbolicCost precedent + T-E-P P1 carrier
consumption). Director ratification ask: Q1 (factoring finding correct),
Q2 (slice-tier directly bypassing canvas), Q3 (fresh worker pin).

Cross-Mgr: Verification Mgr (#2075) pinged on v2-oracle snapshot capture
status (cross-cutting prerequisite for #1950/#1951 cementing dispatch).

Pre-authored brief for complexity-lens BEHAVIORAL COMPLETION substrate
work per Director Q1/Q2/Q3 ratification at gunb-ai/gunbc#828 c#4402714255.

Three deliverables: carrier introduction (ComplexityCost / WorkSpan /
AsymptoticClass following SymbolicCost precedent) + lens widening
(complexity.dag PROXY → COMPLETE) + T-E-P P1 carrier consumption
(DescentEvidence / CallPattern / SubValueRelation for asymptotic
classification of recursive-call behavior).

Indirect-variant dependency surfaced as worker-grep concern at slice-
authoring time (T-E-P P1 Slice 5+ pending; eager-bat-178 stream).

Cementing test (#1950) is separate downstream brief; v2-oracle snapshot
ownership pending Q4 cross-Mgr ratification.

Worker pin: fresh-pool pick at dispatch time (NOT eager-bat-178 per
Director Q3 framing; NOT fierce-ram-21 busy with cost-lens ε).

Same-window-dispatch discipline applies post-canvas-merge (PR #2197).

* docs(briefs): rewrite complexity-lens brief consuming live design authority (codex BLOCKING fix)

Codex BLOCKING (3 findings) at #2199 sha 7a8bb6dc:
1. Brief authored against missing canvas instead of reconciling with
   docs/design-complexity-lens-behavioral-completeness.md (which exists
   at HEAD with comprehensive substrate spec)
2. Producer coverage treated as optional corpus scope; should be hard
   T-E-P-Producer-Broadening prerequisite
3. Stale/non-in-repo planning authority cited; should be r3-structure.md
   row 146 (T-LBP slice 1)

All three BLOCKING findings VALID — substrate-grep-before-authoring
discipline failure on my part (feedback_substrate_grep_before_authoring
already memorialized; violated own discipline).

Rewrite delegates carrier shape, dimension wiring, and consumer rewrite
to live design doc §§1.1-1.6 verbatim:
- §1.1 SymbolicCost — already at algebra.dag; no change
- §1.2 SizeVariable — display_name enrichment
- §1.3 work_dimension + span_dimension — two AnalysisDimension instances
- §1.4 AsymptoticClass + BoundedLattice instance
- §1.5 Certainty (cost-aware composition; no lattice)
- §1.6 cost_bound_to_symbolic projection
- §1.7 ComplexitySummary record + lens widening

T-E-P P1 hard prerequisite per design's authority discipline + r3-
structure.md row 146; STOP-and-PING if T-E-P P1 not COMPLETE at slice
authoring time. Authority cites updated to live r3-structure.md row 146.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas — DRAFT (canvas-tier P1 procedure per Q6 RATIFIED)

Director Q6 RATIFIED canvas-tier-required at gunb-ai/gunbc#828 c#4403163639
for PerfWithinBaseline TestPredicate variant authoring. Three substantive
substrate-shape questions resolved:

Q1 baseline shape: (a) literal-Int rejected as strict-mirror-of-CostBounded
defeats semantic load; (b) DeclarationRef-to-stored-data composes
LensOutputEquals + data X: SymbolicCost precedent at HEAD; (c) runtime-
fixture-injection over-authors. Mgr lean (b).

Q2 ComparisonOp composition: (i) reuse existing ComparisonOp via test-
runner-side resolution matches LensOutputEquals path; (ii) new relative-
op-set introduces parallel-representation debt. Mgr lean (i).

Q3 baseline-storage scope: (α) in-scope slice authors example data; (β)
out-of-scope variant-only slice + PB consumer authors baseline data
matches existing layering. Mgr lean (β).

Combined Mgr lean: Q1(b) + Q2(i) + Q3(β) — variant authored as
compositional extension; baseline-storage is PB consumer-tier work.

Cross-Mgr: PB Mgr #2138 worker (crisp-swift-433) holds dispatch on #2204
land; T-Tier3-Dissolution #2085 R-4 prereq encoded.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas REVISED (supersedes wrong-shape original)

Director disposition at gunb-ai/gunbc#828 c#4403265220 authorized
supersession after BLOCKING at PR #2209 c#4403246233 verified VALID:
original canvas conflated symbolic SymbolicCost (cost-lens substrate)
with wall-clock measured median/p99 baseline (T-Tier3 perf gate
substrate per docs/r3-structure.md:225 + :461 Director-locked 2026-04-28).

Revised canvas frames as two-path ratification:
- P1 author full perf-budget substrate in-R3 (multi-slice; pattern-5
  genuinely-novel substrate-fact-introduction)
- P2 explicitly post-R3 per Director-locked recommendation (zero in-R3
  effort; structural close per r3-structure.md:461 'R3 deliverable is
  structural close; perf is downstream')

Mgr lean: P2 — Director-locked recommendation explicit; trigger-
condition ('someone authors perf-budget claim with concrete numbers
and tooling') not met; R3 horizon constraint argues against multi-
slice perf-budget substrate adding to 5-orthogonal-dependency picture.

Original canvas at q-perf-within-baseline-canvas.md retained with
SUPERSEDED-BY header per durable-decision-record discipline.

5th discipline-failure of 2026-05-08 cycle: substrate-grep verified
substrate-precedent but missed consumer-side requirement at canonical
authority doc; Director self-flagged symmetric two-axis verification
gap; canvas-finding-taxonomy needs precondition 'consumer-side
requirement grep-verified at canonical authority doc'.

* docs(proposals): Q-PerfWithinBaseline canvas-revised — correct trigger-condition framing per Director c#4403297623

Director caught second-axis grep failure on revised canvas: my P2
reasoning #1 ("path-trigger condition for P1 is not met") was
structurally wrong. Existing tooling at HEAD substantially meets the
Director-locked 2026-04-28 trigger-condition ("someone authors the
perf-budget claim with concrete numbers and tooling"):

- docs/briefs/r3-pb-tier3-perf-budget-worker.md
- docs/audit/c1-tier3-perf-budget-readiness-matrix.md
- src/v3/compiler/benches/tier3_mirror_perf.rs
- docs/audit/c1-tier3-baseline-capture-procedure.md
- docs/audit/c1-r3-canonical-bench-host-decision-matrix.md

Plus thresholds (≤2× median, ≤5× p99) + capture discipline (N=3 min,
N=5 preferred) + canonical bench host option matrix.

P1 is bridging existing tooling to substrate (compositional-extension),
NOT multi-slice greenfield genuinely-novel pattern-5 as originally
framed. Smaller scope than canvas-finding-taxonomy pattern 5 implies.

Path-call genuinely depends on PB Mgr's R-3 (canonical CI bench host)
+ R-7 (tier3_baseline.json baseline-capture path) decisions per their
audit response at c#4403059897. Path-call DEFERRED to cross-Mgr
coordination outcome with PB Mgr (#2074); Substrate Mgr surfaces with
corrected framing this turn.

Sixth discipline-failure of cycle (mine, second-axis grep gap on
existing-tooling state); same-class as Director's first-axis grep gap
on consumer-side requirement at the prior turn. Memorialized as
two-axis verification discipline anchor.

* docs(proposals): Q-ValueBody-Drift-Resolution canvas — DRAFT (codegen-generation lean)

D1 substrate-shape question per Q-ValueBody-Isomorphism RATIFIED at
gunb-ai/gunbc#828 c#4403972737. Variant-inventory readiness input from
PR #2218 (merged 2026-05-08) confirms drift: Rust 5 variants vs
substrate 3 constructors; asymmetry on Scalar+List Rust-only +
Map payload-parity-with-semantic-gap.

Two-axis verification at HEAD:
- Substrate-precedent: codegen tooling exists (regen_bootstrap_emit;
  5 _generated.rs files; regen_bootstrap binary). Pattern-3 strict-
  mirror codegen extension applies; no pattern-5 P1 procedure.
- Consumer-side requirement: V1 worker brief explicitly names mirror-
  parity-vs-codegen-generation as D1 path-pair.

Mgr lean: (b) codegen-generation. Path (a) mirror-parity perpetuates
parallel-representation debt; (b) dissolves the dual-taxonomy class
by construction (substrate canonical, Rust codegens). Map dup-key gap
handled via (ii) Rust-side post-codegen wrapping (substrate stays
minimal).

Director ratification ask: D1 (b) + D1-followup (ii).

Carrier slice path post-ratification: extend regen_bootstrap_emit;
add Scalar+List constructors to substrate; regen + remove hand-Rust
enum; handle Map dup-key per ratified followup. Worker pin fresh-pool
per same-window-dispatch.

* docs(proposals): Q-ValueBody-Drift-Resolution canvas amend authority cite (codex BLOCKING fix)

Director ratified (α) amendment-PR at gunb-ai/gunbc#828 c#4404398425
post-codex-BLOCKING at PR #2222 c#4404360699.

Canvas originally cited regen_bootstrap_emit.rs as codegen authority
for ValueBody runtime mirror; corrected to scripts/regen_runtime_mirrors.py
which is the substrate→Rust runtime-mirror generator (reads substrate.dag,
emits dag_scalar_generated.rs etc.). regen_bootstrap_emit.rs is a
separate codegen system that generates bootstrap_generated.rs (bootstrap
parser/lower compile snapshot).

D1 (b) codegen-generation ratification UNCHANGED; only authority-path
cites corrected. Carrier slice path at canvas §6-step plan now references
correct runtime-mirror generator. Canvas inline notes mark amendment
location for future-reader audit trail.

8th cycle-tier framing-failure (Mgr-tier; same fine-granularity gap
parallel to Director-tier failure at c#4404256128). Two-axis verification
discipline applied at insufficient granularity (verified codegen-tooling-
exists but didn't disambiguate against bootstrap-vs-runtime-mirror systems).

Discipline anchor refinement: when canvas cites a codegen system /
tooling / authority path, identify the SPECIFIC generator/handler for
the target-file-class. Don't accept 'tooling exists' at coarse granularity.

Reviewer flagged on PR #2333 inline review: parametric form

by Subject parameter.

In worker's actual PR #2360 shape, TimingMeasurement is variant-typed

Original canvas claim 'fail-closed: violates = Output != Observed'

- (a) clarified: projection step (Output → Budget) must fabricate
  violating Budget for non-Observed variants (option (a)(i)) OR
  substrate-extend the violates signature (option (a)(ii)) which is
  canvas-tier and cascades across all lens consumers.
- Added option (c) reflecting worker tidy-raven-610 PR #2360 shape:

* fix(canvas): make six gate #55 invariants concrete fields on anchor (P2)

Fixed: Q-WAD-S2-Anchor (b) now shows explicit six-invariant field
schema as concrete fields (subject/artifact_digest/producer_id/
observer_id/prover_id/attached_at/workflow_run_id/observation_outcome)
with Subject + Source as type parameters for variable parts only.

* fix(canvas): correct convergence assessment — invariant 5 split-authority in worker shape

Reviewer flagged BLOCKING on PR #2333 inline review (canvas:96): claiming
worker's flat anchor shape gate-#55-compliant drops invariant 5
(observation_outcome / report-state) from the anchor. Worker's
TimingMeasurement variants carry report-state on the payload, not on
the anchor — splits P2 single-authority for invariant 5.

Fixed: convergence assessment now correctly identifies 5/6 invariants
on anchor + invariant 5 split. Path requires TWO edits not one:
(1) add <Subject, Source> type parameters to anchor; (2) add
observation_outcome: ObservationOutcome<Source> field to anchor itself.
This collapses Q-WAD-S2-Output (c) folded shape back to (a)(i)
separate-projection — trade-off documented (single-authority preserved
at cost of one extra type).

* fix(canvas): reject (a)(i) Budget fabrication per P3/C-8 fail-closed (canvas:118)

Reviewer flagged BLOCKING on PR #2333 inline review (canvas:118):
recommending projection fabricates violating Budget for non-Observed
states violates INVARIANTS P3/C-8 fail-closed discipline — erases
typed Missing/Ambiguous/Stale failure evidence into a plausible budget
value. Consumers downstream of violates can't distinguish 'budget
exceeded by observed value' from 'no observation existed'.

Fixed: (a)(i) REJECTED with explicit P3/C-8 rationale. Added (a)(iii)
Result-typed projection with auto_violate_on_left bit — smaller
substrate change than (ii) full-signature-extension. Director-tier
disposition still required for (ii) or (iii); (i) no longer a viable
path.

Convergence implications for worker PR #2360 + canvas (c) folded
shape need re-assessment in next pass — (c) sidesteps the violates
signature collision but invariant 5 split-authority (per canvas:96
fix in 960a03f98) means observation_outcome belongs on anchor not
payload, which then re-introduces the violates-Output-visibility
question via ObservationOutcome typing.

(a)(i) is REJECTED throughout; Director-tier LensEnforcement substrate
change unavoidable for fail-closed-correct anchor-side report-state
carriage.

* fix(canvas): correct invariant-6 claim — fail-closed needs LensEnforcement substrate-extension

Reviewer flagged BLOCKING on PR #2333 inline review (canvas:91): claim
'all six invariants concrete fields on anchor' was wrong — invariant 6
(fail-closed) explicitly lives at LensEnforcement.violates layer, not
on the anchor. Without Q-WAD-S2-Output (a)(ii)/(a)(iii) substrate-
extension landing, gate #55 cannot close on 5/6 — would let consumers
attach observation facts without fail-closed evidence (P2/P3 violation).

Fixed: clarified 5/6 invariants on anchor + invariant 6 dependency on
Director-tier LensEnforcement substrate-extension. Gate #55 closure
explicitly cross-linked to canvas:118 escalation thread.

* fix(canvas): Output (a) variants wrap Source not TimingMeasurement (P2)

Reviewer flagged BLOCKING on PR #2333 inline review (canvas:112):
Output (a) Observed{value: TimingMeasurement} would wrap the
report-state-bearing TimingMeasurement type, duplicating
identity/attestation/report-state with the anchor's invariant 5
authority. Reopens P2 split-authority.

Fixed: Observed wraps payload-only Source (e.g., TimingPayload {
nanoseconds: Int }), NOT TimingMeasurement. Per Q-WAD-S2-Anchor
revised convergence: subject identity / attestation / report-state
on anchor; payload carries only observed-value-when-present.

* fix(canvas): split gate #55 + canonicalize TimingPayload (parent BLOCKING b526a26f)

Reviewer flagged 2 BLOCKING on PR #2333 parent review at sha b526a26f:

Finding 1 (gate #55 mixes anchor-fact + fail-closed): added gate #55a/#55b
split — #55a = anchor carrier landed (worker scope); #55b = LensEnforcement
substrate-extension landed across all lens consumers (canvas-tier separate
dispatch, owner: Substrate Mgr).

Finding 2 (TimingMeasurement overload): added Naming canonicalization
section to Carrier inventory. TimingPayload = observed-value-only;
WorkflowObservationAnchor = observation record; ObservationOutcome = report
state; TimingObservationSet = lens C (per Q1 ratification). Earlier
TimingMeasurement references deprecated.

* fix(canvas): rewrite Carrier inventory to reflect Director ratification of worker shape

Reviewer flagged BLOCKING on PR #2333 inline review (canvas:35): old
carrier inventory still said TimingMeasurement owns subject identity +
observer attestation, contradicting revised anchor authority. Same-day
Director re-ratification at #828 c#4412301889 reversed the canvas (b)
recommendations and ratified worker tidy-raven-610's shape as-shipped:

- TimingMeasurement = Observed | Missing | Ambiguous | Stale
  (carrier-as-report-state; owns invariant 5 via variants)
- WorkflowObservationAnchor = timing-specific concrete fields
  (Q-WAD-S2-Anchor (a) ratified; owns invariants 1-4)
- TimingObservationSet = aggregation collection
- Lens<TimingMeasurement> per-observation

Fixed: rewrote Carrier inventory to reflect Director-ratified shape;
explicit invariant ownership (anchor: 1-5; LensEnforcement: 6 via
gate #55b separate dispatch). TimingPayload canonicalization (which
contradicted Director ratification) removed.

* fix(canvas): resolve option (c) Pro/Con contradiction on signature collision

Reviewer flagged BLOCKING on PR #2333 inline review (canvas:137):
option (c) Pro line said 'avoids violates signature collision entirely'
but lines 135/139 routed back to (a)(ii)/(a)(iii) — internal
contradiction; fail-closed obligation under P3/C-8 still ambiguous.

Fixed: rewrote (c) Pro/Con honestly — Pro = state-space discipline
(per Director's ratification reasoning); Con = does NOT sidestep
violates signature collision, still requires substrate-extension
path. Status updated to reflect Director ratification at #828
c#4412301889: (c) carrier shape ratified for worker scope (#55a);
LensEnforcement substrate-extension disposition (#55b) still pending
between (a)(ii) and (a)(iii).

* feat(v3): LensEnforcement.auto_violate_on_left for observation-driven lenses

Per Director ratification at gunb-ai/gunbc#828 c#4412884371 + re-confirmation
at c#4413159089: extend LensEnforcement<Output, Budget> with additive
auto_violate_on_left: Bool field for observation-driven lens classes
(T-Workflow-As-Data Slice 2 timing-lens et seq.).

Substrate semantics: when Output is Result-typed (e.g.,
Result<Observed, ObservationFailure> for timing), runtime checks the
bit before calling project; on Result-Left + bit=true, enforcement
violates without fabricating a Budget value at the projection
boundary. Preserves typed failure evidence (Missing/Ambiguous/Stale/
Unobserved) per INVARIANTS P3/C-8 fail-closed discipline.

Backward-compatible additive: existing structural-static lenses
(complexity, cost, T-LAS) set the bit to false; bit is inert when
Output is not Result-typed. Updated complexity_enforcement
declaration + hand-Rust LensEnforcement struct mirror.

Closes §1.8 ledger #55 sub-gate b (LensEnforcement substrate-extension
prerequisite for fail-closed-correct enforcement on non-Observed
report states); enables T-Workflow-As-Data Slice 2 worker
(tidy-raven-610 #2359) to revise PR #2360 against the ratified
Result-typed Output shape.

Canvas authority: docs/briefs/r3-substrate-t-wad-slice-2-timing-lens-canvas.md
§"Question 3 (Q-WAD-S2-Output)" + Gate #55 closure-predicate split.

* Revert "feat(v3): LensEnforcement.auto_violate_on_left for observation-driven lenses"

This reverts commit 5ec59209d1c561788a4f6f686d8d1f62daf086ef.

* fix(canvas): Q-WAD-S2-Anchor recommendation aligned to Director ratification of (a)

Reviewer flagged BLOCKING on PR #2333 inline review (canvas:99): canvas
still recommended (b) generic anchor after Director ratified (a)
timing-specific. Competing WorkflowObservationAnchor authorities = P2
violation.

Fixed: Q-WAD-S2-Anchor recommendation rewritten to reflect Director
RATIFIED (a) per #828 c#4412301889 + c#4413322671. Mgr-tier preliminary
(b) was over-engineered (chased hypothetical second-consumer
parameterization). Invariant 5 split-authority concern resolved at
LensEnforcement layer per (a)(ii) full-signature extension (Director
c#4413284764) — violates pattern-matches Output variants directly,
no observation_outcome projection wrapper needed.
