Summary

Two PM-portion deliverables, bundled per the user-preferred bundling cadence for multiple workstreams.

1. R1 Closure Manager brief (docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md)

Strict-interpretation gate-close authority. Per-HEAD audit found 12+ unwired R1 gates under strict reading ("the release gate IS a .dag program" per THESIS):

  • T-P0 (3 fixtures missing), T-Sub (1 fixture missing), T-Demo (1 fixture missing)
  • T-TestGen MockBackedInvariant runner returns NotYetImplemented (M1(2.8) List<ResourceReference> data body blocker)
  • T-PB census ×6 enforced as Rust ratchets, not .dag TestClaims
  • T-Emit ×3 host-harness only, no .dag wrappers

Six mutually-exclusive lanes (R1C-A through R1C-F) at fixture-file / runner-dispatch-arm level. R1C-A unblocks R1C-D; other 4 lanes parallel Day-1. Per user direction: T-PB-A+B merged into R1C-D; T-Emit kept (no host-harness pragmatic acceptance).

Manager dissolves on R1 all-gates-green; R2 managers spawn post-dissolution. No overlap.

2. Escalation-paths union map (docs/escalation-paths.md)

Sweep against main HEAD 407a8bcb1 cataloged 45 "if X happens, escalate" clauses across INVARIANTS / ROADMAP / THESIS / r2-structure.md / docs/briefs / docs/design / docs/thesis.

  • 73% GROUNDED (32 clauses): trigger is concrete + mechanically verifiable
  • 27% SOFT (13 clauses): trigger requires human judgment

No significant authority conflicts. Three minor naming-tightening opportunities surfaced; addressed inline as the three surgical fixes below.

Sweep boundary is main-only. PR #835 (PM 6 R2 manager briefs) and PR #836 (Director 14 worker briefs) are NOT in this sweep — second-pass map merge planned on those PRs' merge to main.

3. Three surgical fixes to source authority docs

Each closes an open-resolution-path gap the sweep surfaced:

  • Fix 1 — Signal channel naming (docs/r2-structure.md §"Manager structure"). New paragraph naming GitHub session-inbox issue comment as the escalation channel for human-target; cross-manager queue for inter-manager signals.
  • Fix 2 — Director decision-artifact format (docs/r2-structure.md §"Director"). Extended scope-change-escalation bullet to name where Director's adjudication lands: amendment PR or sibling brief.
  • Fix 3 — C1 lane explicit owner (docs/design-substrate-carrier-port-program.md). Two STOP-AND-ESCALATE clauses (Lane E-T :120 + Lane E-P :148) rewritten from "→ C1 lane" to "→ escalate to Director (Director opens a C1 substrate-capability lane if escalation requires substrate work)."

Out of scope for this PR

Per-PR dissolution gate

  • Defers / shrinks / deletes: N/A — docs-only; no new hand-Rust under src/v3/. Two new doc files (intentional creation per the PM mandate); two surgical text edits to existing authority docs (1-2 lines each).

Two PM-portion deliverables, bundled per the user-preferred bundling cadence
for multiple workstreams.

## R1 Closure Manager (new) — docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md

Strict-interpretation gate-close authority. Per-HEAD gate audit against
ROADMAP.md §"Lane acceptance — .dag gates" surfaced 12+ unwired gates
under strict reading ("the release gate IS a .dag program" per THESIS):

  - T-P0 (3): repeat_string_correct / no_fabrication_sentinel /
    rest_ops_aligned — features work, no .dag TestClaim wrappers
  - T-Sub (1): sub_type_alias_where_lowers — PR #703 landed feature,
    no fixture wrapper
  - T-TestGen (1 compiles-only): testgen_mock_backed_integration_safe —
    runner returns NotYetImplemented; M1(2.8) data body blocker
  - T-PB census (6): hand_rust_at_shim_floor / lens_producer_files_remaining
    / self_compile_fixed_point / compiler_std_ratchet_zero (T-PB-A) +
    test_file_generated_from_dag / rust_tests_outside_residual_zero
    (T-PB-B) — enforced as Rust ratchets, not .dag TestClaims
  - T-Emit (3): rust_fixtures_rustc_green / generic_bounds_survive /
    omni_demo_fixtures_green — host-harness only, no .dag wrappers
  - T-Demo (1): demo_user_authored_lens_rejects_violating_program —
    no fixture

Six mutually-exclusive lanes (R1C-A through R1C-F) at the
fixture-file / runner-dispatch-arm level. R1C-A (T-TestGen schema
extensions) unblocks R1C-D (T-PB census-as-.dag); other 4 lanes
parallel-dispatchable Day-1.

Lane variants per user direction: T-PB-A and T-PB-B merged into R1C-D
(single predicate-shape work); T-Emit kept (no host-harness pragmatic
acceptance).

Manager dissolves on R1 all-gates-green declaration; R2 managers spawn
post-dissolution per docs/r2-structure.md transition mechanics. No
overlap with R2 managers (R2 spawn gated on this manager's close).

## Escalation paths union map (new) — docs/escalation-paths.md

Sweep against main HEAD 407a8bc cataloged 45 "if X happens, escalate"
clauses across INVARIANTS / ROADMAP / THESIS / r2-structure.md / all
docs/briefs / docs/design-*.md / docs/thesis.

  - 73% GROUNDED (32 clauses): trigger condition is concrete +
    measurable (specific gate names, file:line citations, mechanical
    search verifiable)
  - 27% SOFT (13 clauses): trigger requires human judgment to fire

No significant authority conflicts. Three minor naming-tightening
opportunities surfaced as Fix 1 / Fix 2 / Fix 3 (applied below). One
near-orphan (DB-revision target unattested on main) — resolved by R2
promotion housekeeping; not load-bearing now.

Sweep boundary: main only. PR #835 (PM portion) and PR #836 (Director
portion) are NOT in this map's current sweep — second-pass sweep
planned on those PRs' merge to main.

## Three surgical fixes to source authority docs

Each fix is a 1-2 line edit closing an open-resolution-path gap the
sweep surfaced:

### Fix 1 — Signal channel naming (docs/r2-structure.md)

New paragraph in §"Manager structure" preamble naming the escalation
signal channel: GitHub session-inbox issue comment for human-target
escalations; cross-manager queue (per R1 "Cross-manager notifications
queued" pattern) for inter-manager signals. Worker-brief STOP-AND-
ESCALATE clauses no longer need to restate the channel.

### Fix 2 — Director decision-artifact format (docs/r2-structure.md)

Extended the "Scope-change escalation" bullet in §"Director" to name
where Director's adjudication decision lands: (a) amendment PR to the
originating brief OR (b) sibling brief if scope creates new program.
Closes the escalation cycle explicitly — originating brief stays open
until artifact lands.

### Fix 3 — C1 lane explicit owner (docs/design-substrate-carrier-port-program.md)

Two STOP-AND-ESCALATE clauses (Lane E-T :120 and Lane E-P :148)
rewritten from "→ C1 lane" to "→ escalate to Director (Director opens
a C1 substrate-capability lane if escalation requires substrate work)."
Director becomes the explicit receiver; C1 lane becomes the optional
dispatch outcome.

## Out of scope for this PR

P2 Badge Align escalation action with Director-owned routing

The union map now diverges from the source authority doc: after this commit, docs/design-substrate-carrier-port-program.md routes these substrate-connective cases to Director, but this row still says “Escalate to C1 lane.” Because this file is framed as the lookup for in-flight escalations, that mismatch can send workers to a non-owner route and defeats the “single source” purpose.

Review metadata

  • Provider / model: codex / codex-default
  • Commit: 265d97fb · Trigger: schedule
  • Thinking: 40s wall

Findings:

  • docs/escalation-paths.md:3 says this doc is the “Authoritative single source” for escalation clauses, but docs/escalation-paths.md:18 says source briefs remain authoritative and this doc is only descriptive. That creates a direct single-authority ambiguity under INVARIANTS.md P2 / modeling-discipline “single-authority metadata.” The fix is likely just status wording: make this explicitly the authoritative union receipt / conflict map, not the authority over the clauses themselves.

Verdict: APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS. The PR is documentation-only and the R1 closure manager is bounded with a clear dissolution trigger, but the new escalation map should not introduce competing authority language.

…h worker brief

Two additions to the PM bundle.

## ROADMAP §"R1 Closure Manager" section (new)

Small registration section between §"Lane acceptance — .dag gates" and
§"Scheduled cleanups". Names the manager + lane structure (R1C-A through
R1C-F) + critical-path edge (R1C-A → R1C-D); points at the brief at
docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md as authority for the per-lane scope.

Parallel registration shape to docs/r2-structure.md's §"Manager structure"
treatment for R2 managers — short authoritative pointer in ROADMAP, full
manager scope in the brief. Manager dissolves on R1 all-gates-green; R2
spawn gated on this dissolution.

## §6a follow-through worker brief (new)

Per inbox #828 PM-portion split, this is the next PM deliverable in the
queue. Anchored against the existing pick-worker brief at
docs/briefs/t-permethodmetadata-pick-worker.md (landed PR #794) so there's
no duplicate decision authority — pick is closed; this brief is post-pick
scope only.

Three consumer-side requirements:
1. Inventory current consumption sites in cost.dag / complexity.dag for
   the three carrier fields (size_effect / cost_shape / callback_element_position).
2. Bulk-migrate to MethodContract-keyed lookup; retire lens-local reads
   of *_templates() result fields.
3. Track field-by-field dissolution triggers as named ROADMAP debt rows
   per §6a:175 (each field has a named upstream-fact landing condition
   that retires the carrier; when all three trigger conditions fire,
   MethodContract retires).

Slice: inventory → migrate → track. 1-3 PRs at worker discretion.

STOP-AND-ESCALATE clauses cite the new escalation channel discipline from
docs/escalation-paths.md (channel: GitHub session-inbox; Director decision
artifact = amendment PR or sibling brief). Behavioral-regression on R1
gates is non-negotiable STOP; DB-8 drift is STOP; carrier-shape gap
discovery is STOP (the pick may need amending).

## What this PR now contains (cumulative)

- docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md (new) — R1 Closure Manager brief
- docs/escalation-paths.md (new) — 45-clause union map
- docs/briefs/r2-release-6a-follow-through-worker.md (new) — post-pick worker brief
- ROADMAP.md edit — R1 Closure Manager registration section
- docs/r2-structure.md edits — signal channel + Director decision-artifact format (Fixes 1+2)
- docs/design-substrate-carrier-port-program.md edits — C1 lane explicit owner (Fix 3)

## Out of scope

Still-pending PM deliverables per inbox #828: B5 Loop construction-closure
audit brief; B6 file-preference rank checklist completion; B7 priority-hint

Codex on #847 sha 265d97f flagged that line 3's "Authoritative single
source for ... escalation clauses" contradicts line 18's "descriptive,
not prescriptive ... source briefs remain authoritative" — direct P2
single-authority ambiguity per INVARIANTS.md.

Fix: line 3 now reads "Authoritative union receipt + conflict map ...
The source briefs remain authoritative on their own escalation clauses
(per §How to use below); this doc owns the union view + cross-brief
consistency surfacing."

Surface change only; the doc's actual authority scope is unchanged
from the §"How to use" semantics — clauses live in source briefs;
this doc surfaces the union + conflicts. The status line now matches
the body.

Codex APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS on 265d97fb — wording ambiguity resolved in 4b542dd7d

Valid finding. Line 3's Authoritative single source for ... escalation clauses contradicted line 18's descriptive, not prescriptive — source briefs remain authoritative. P2 single-authority ambiguity.

Fix landed in 4b542dd7d — line 3 reframed as Authoritative union receipt + conflict map with explicit deferral to source briefs as clause authorities:

**Status:** ACTIVE. Authoritative **union receipt + conflict map**
for "if X happens, escalate" clauses across briefs and authority docs.
The source briefs remain authoritative on their own escalation clauses
(per §"How to use" below); this doc owns the union view + cross-brief
consistency surfacing.

The doc's actual authority scope is unchanged — clauses live in source briefs; this doc surfaces the union + conflicts. The status line now matches the §"How to use" semantics (which already correctly framed authority as "descriptive, not prescriptive"). No scope change.

briansrls and others added 2 commits April 26, 2026 05:33
Per inbox #828 PM portion, three deliverables completing the B-wave
Tier 2 PM authoring queue per docs/briefs/debt-paydown-synthesis-
2026-04-25.md §5 (lines 526-528). All three target R2 Release Manager
ownership (post-spawn).

## B5 — Loop construction-closure audit (worker brief)

S, R2-coupled. Audit-FIRST per parent scope statement (lines 300-314).
Step 1: enumerate every Behavior::Loop construction site in lower.rs
+ anywhere; trace caller path. Step 2 (conditional on audit):

  - Closure-holds (preferred per feedback_construction_over_ratchets):
    deliverable is structural integration test asserting closure;
    speculative LoopKind marker retired.
  - Closure-fails: marker spec authored as separate brief; escalates
    to substrate-amendment per synthesis-doc STOP discipline.

STOP-AND-ESCALATE clauses cover: (a) ambiguous construction-site
origin; (b) marker spec requiring new substrate connective (C1-class
escalation per feedback_compiler_is_dag_processor); (c) self-fulfilling
closure if audit's own scaffold triggers.

## B6 — file-preference rank checklist completion (worker brief)

XS-trivial. Audit-first per feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first.
Two paths: (a) add the three missing modules (computation/induction/
termination) to dag.rs:2735-2764 checklist; (b) document exemption
in source if the modules are intentionally exempt.

Single-PR deliverable; either +3 line addition or +1 line comment cite.

STOP if rank-function semantics are genuinely ambiguous, or if "fix"
turns out to require substrate work (don't ratchet on a scaffold
already named for dissolution).

## B7 — priority-hint relay to Pure Bootstrap Manager (signal doc, NOT worker brief)

Cross-manager signal content snapshot. NOT a worker brief — documents
the signal R2 Release Manager queues to R2 Pure Bootstrap Manager
once both spawn at R1 close.

Payload: lift patch_lower_helpers_generated_type_alias_refinement
retirement to PB-Tier1-Sweep priority within R2 Pure Bootstrap
Manager's owned-deliverable queue.

Pre-spawn: this file documents content. Post-spawn: R2 Release
Manager queues the signal as one of its first dispatch actions; R2
PB Manager acks + adjusts priority. Closure trigger: signal delivered
+ consumed (or dissolution already fired pre-R1); file marks RESOLVED
in follow-up cleanup.

Distinguished from B5 / B6 worker briefs by the explicit "NOT a worker
brief" framing in the synthesis doc; preserves single-authority discipline
(deliverables vs signals do not blur).

…-B / -C / -E / -F)

Per user direction "lets do the trivial ones" — authoring the four
R1 Closure Manager lanes that don't depend on R1C-A (T-TestGen schema
extensions). All four are parallel-dispatchable Day-1 once R1 Closure
Manager spawns; sized S or smaller per the manager brief.

## R1C-B — T-P0 fixtures (S; 3 gates)

- p0_repeat_string_correct (Day-1, DB-15 schema): authored immediately
- p0_no_fabrication_sentinel (ext): audit predicate shape; possibly blocks on R1C-A
- p0_rest_ops_aligned (ext): audit predicate shape; possibly blocks on R1C-A

Branch on audit per gate; bundle PRs if all DB-15-suffices, split if any
blocks on R1C-A schema landing.

## R1C-C — T-Sub sub_type_alias_where_lowers fixture (XS; 1 gate)

PR #703 already landed the feature with test_db11_type_alias_where_*
integration receipts. Brief authors the .dag wrapper; predicate likely
Compiles on a fixture program exercising type-alias where lowering.
Single PR; dispatchable Day-1.

## R1C-E — T-Emit .dag TestClaim wrappers (S; 3 gates)

PB-Runtime ExecuteCommand (PR #792) is the runner enabler. Three gates:

- emit_rust_fixtures_rustc_green: ExecuteCommand running rustc on emitted output
- emit_generic_bounds_survive: audit-decided shape (ExecuteCommand+grep or structural)
- emit_omni_demo_fixtures_green: multi-target; ForAllTargets quantifier may need
  R1C-A schema, OR can be expressed as 3 ExecuteCommand claims (1 per target)

STOP if ForAllTargets needed and not in scope; STOP if PR #792 ExecuteCommand
runner doesn't cover the bounded-execution shape.

## R1C-F — T-Demo demo_user_authored_lens_rejects_violating_program (S; 1 gate)

Built on T-LensAPI user_authored_lens_compiles (GREEN). Three components:
- ~20-line user-authored lens in .dag (e.g., "max external HTTP calls per workflow"
  per THESIS canonical example)
- Violating program (~10-20 lines)
- TestClaim with FailsWithDiagnostic predicate (asserts lens rejects violator)

Demo artifact also authored per docs/r2-structure.md §"Demo discipline".

## Discipline anchors applied

- feedback_construction_over_ratchets — fixtures ground in observable
  behavior (compiles / output / exit-code), not parallel asserts
- feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first — every brief mandates audit
  step before authoring (pick predicate / pick lens example / pick path)
- All four briefs cite docs/escalation-paths.md as escalation discipline
  authority

## Out of scope

- R1C-A T-TestGen schema extensions worker brief (M; meatier; authored separately)
- R1C-D T-PB census-as-.dag worker brief (M-L; meatier; gated on R1C-A; authored separately)
- Implementation of any of these briefs (worker dispatch happens at R1
  Closure Manager spawn)

1. Story of the diff

This PR is a documentation/coordination bundle, not a compiler implementation change. It registers a short-lived R1 Closure Manager in ROADMAP.md:77-85, then gives that manager a brief that narrows the strict R1 closure problem to six disjoint unwired-gate lanes, with .dag TestClaim evaluation as the release authority rather than Rust ratchets or host harnesses (docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md:7-15, docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md:26-35). In parallel, it adds an R2 Release follow-through brief for the already-locked §6a MethodContract pick, explicitly framing the remaining work as consumer migration plus field-by-field dissolution tracking rather than a design re-pick (docs/briefs/r2-release-6a-follow-through-worker.md:7-24). The escalation-paths work creates a union map for STOP/escalation clauses, adds channel/decision-artifact rules to docs/r2-structure.md:69 and docs/r2-structure.md:149, and tightens two substrate-carrier STOP clauses so “C1 lane” becomes a Director-received escalation with a possible C1 lane as the dispatch outcome (docs/design-substrate-carrier-port-program.md:120, docs/design-substrate-carrier-port-program.md:148).

2. Invariant categories

  1. LAYER MODEL — N/A. The diff is docs-only: it references substrate carriers, .dag gates, runner dispatch, and MethodContract, but it does not change Dag, substrate types, Rust implementation, generated surfaces, or .dag declarations.
  2. INVARIANTS.md + modeling-discipline.md — Finding.

P2 Boundary Discipline / single-authority metadata: the new escalation map says, “every escalation clause shipped in a brief should be traceable here” at docs/escalation-paths.md:11, and its refresh rule says to refresh “when ≥3 new escalation clauses author into briefs in a single PR” at docs/escalation-paths.md:159. But this same PR adds at least five new STOP-AND-ESCALATE clauses in the R2 follow-through brief at docs/briefs/r2-release-6a-follow-through-worker.md:62-66, while the map remains “45 clauses across main HEAD” at docs/escalation-paths.md:45 and does not include those same-PR clauses. That makes the union map stale at merge time, exactly at the boundary it is introduced to police.

The same sync problem appears in the “C1 lane” fix: the source clauses are rewritten to “escalate to Director” at docs/design-substrate-carrier-port-program.md:120 and docs/design-substrate-carrier-port-program.md:148, and the fix text says to rewrite each clause that way at docs/escalation-paths.md:152, but the table rows still say “Escalate to C1 lane” at docs/escalation-paths.md:72 and docs/escalation-paths.md:75. The fix is conceptually right; the map needs to reflect the post-fix authority, not the pre-fix wording.

  1. CODING.md — N/A. No Rust implementation, helper, API, method shape, result carrier, or module organization is changed.
  2. TESTING.md — N/A. No executable behavior changes and no tests are required for the docs-only change. The future-work briefs do preserve test discipline by making their eventual acceptance concrete: .dag gate closure for R1 (docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md:7-9) and cargo/clippy/DB-8/R1-gate verification for the §6a migration (docs/briefs/r2-release-6a-follow-through-worker.md:52-56).
  3. LOCKED DESIGN DECISIONS — Compliant. The §6a worker brief explicitly honors the locked choice instead of reopening it: docs/briefs/r2-release-6a-follow-through-worker.md:7 says Option 3 unified MethodContract is “LOCKED,” and docs/briefs/r2-release-6a-follow-through-worker.md:24 states the migration is “not a re-pick.”
  4. TRACKED vs UNTRACKED DEBT — Compliant, aside from the map-sync finding above. The temporary R1 manager is bounded and names its dissolution trigger: ROADMAP.md:83 and docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md:3 both dissolve it on R1 all-gates-green, with the aggregate signal repeated at docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md:40. The §6a brief treats MethodContract as transitional rather than permanent, names the three field-level triggers at docs/briefs/r2-release-6a-follow-through-worker.md:9 and docs/briefs/r2-release-6a-follow-through-worker.md:33-37, and requires ROADMAP tracked-debt rows as acceptance at docs/briefs/r2-release-6a-follow-through-worker.md:56.

3. Verdict

REQUEST_CHANGES

The overall structure is sound and most of the new docs are disciplined, but the PR’s central new single-authority artifact is not synchronized with the escalation clauses and source-doc fixes introduced by the same diff. Updating docs/escalation-paths.md to include the same-PR R2 brief STOP clauses and to reflect the Director/C1 wording after Fix 3 should be enough to clear the blocking issue.

Docs-only PR.

Verdict: APPROVE — Documentation/PM bundle only; no code changes, no invariant surface touched. Nothing to flag against INVARIANTS/modeling/CODING/TESTING.

Per docs/r2-structure.md §"Open calls" item 1 — required pre-promotion
audit table mapping every THESIS claim to R1-closed / R2-gated /
post-R2-external disposition with gate name + evidence + status.

## Sweep result

74 claims cataloged across THESIS.md §"Thesis claims — complete list"
(Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3 + categorical claims under Concept unifications,
Epistemic stacking, Substrate shape, Free consequences, Omni-emission,
Meta-process modeling, Self-hosting, Audience duality, Adoption model,
Tests-as-data, Enumerable impossible-bug classes, Modeling discipline).

## Coverage statistics

- R1-closed: 52
- R2-gated: 18
- post-R2-external: 4
- GAP (no disposition): 0

**Pre-promotion blocker count: 0.** Open call 1's gate is satisfied —
every thesis claim has a named disposition + documented evidence.

## Coverage anomalies (partial-status, NOT blockers)

Four claims have partial-status notes:
1. Ownership (Tier 1) — full infrastructure may have post-R1 tail
2. Shape A omni-emission — R1 demonstrates 3 of 6+ targets (TS/Swift/HDL post-R1)

BLOCKING (2)

Root Cause

  • docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md R1C-B/C/E/F worker briefs were added after the manager brief's status section was drafted → mark B/C/E/F as authored, leave only A/D pending, and refresh the working-state line.
  • docs/escalation-paths.md Fix 3 updated docs/design-substrate-carrier-port-program.md but the map rows were not refreshed → change rows 22 and 25 to Director as the receiver and C1 lane as only the optional dispatch outcome.

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

  • ROADMAP.md The new R1 Closure Manager paragraph cites THESIS.md §"Tests are structural data", but that heading is not present; use the existing ROADMAP gate authority or add the missing thesis anchor before relying on it.

⚠️ The coordination docs have stale authority/status rows that should be corrected before merge.

Comment thread docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md Outdated

## Sub-briefs (authored / pending)

BLOCKING: The manager brief still says Authored: none and lists R1C-B/C/E/F as pending even though this PR adds those worker briefs, so the dispatch authority is stale and violates P2 single-authority/P5 status discipline.

BLOCKING: The union map still records the E-T/E-P action as "Escalate to C1 lane" after this PR rewrites the source clauses to escalate to Director, so the new single escalation map conflicts with the fixed authorities it summarizes.

…eta-review)

Per openai-pro PAUSE_AND_REGROUP meta-review on PR #835 sha bfaab66, the
recurring "authority ambiguity at stage boundaries" pattern (B7 dual-contract,
Grounding pending unbounded, §6a stale framing, B4.1 stale BLOCKING) was being
fixed instance-by-instance via wording sweeps. The structural fix is a shared
authority matrix that makes the categories disjoint at brief-authoring time.

This commit graduates the recurring class out of per-instance review.

## docs/briefs/r2-manager-brief-authority-matrix.md (new)

5 disjoint artifact categories with explicit invariants:

  1. Worker brief — dispatchable authoring task; produces concrete deliverable
  2. Decision brief — scoped design call (pick + lock); follow-through is
     distinct Category 1 worker brief (resolves §6a anti-pattern)
  3. Cross-manager signal — routes priority/scope info; NOT a worker brief
     (resolves B7 anti-pattern)
  4. Standing reporting duty — continuous-state ledger / monitor; activates
     on spawn, dissolves on manager dissolution
  5. Pre-spawn placeholder — skeleton authored before spawn; graduates into
     1-4 OR dissolves at spawn

Per-manager deliverable inventory tags every owned deliverable from all 6 R2
managers (Grounding / Substrate / Modeling / Impossible-Bugs / Pure Bootstrap /
Release) with category. Inventory references PR #835 (manager briefs), PR #836
(14 Director worker briefs), and PR #847 (this PR's worker briefs + signal doc).

Local review checklist (per meta-review recommendation #3): Owned deliverables
+ Pre-spawn vs post-spawn authority + Autonomous dispatch authority + Sub-briefs
sections must agree on owner + artifact type per matrix categorization. Doesn't
need new top-level INVARIANTS rule; P2 + P5 already cover; this is the local
invariant for the manager-brief family.

## Sweep verification — current state of 6 R2 manager briefs (PR #835 sha 3260d71)

All 6 manager briefs verified consistent with matrix:

  - Grounding: ✅ no category conflicts (Pending bounds fixed in f916fba)
  - Substrate: ✅ no category conflicts (B4.1 staleness fixed in 74b679b)
  - Modeling: ✅ no category conflicts
  - Impossible-Bugs: ✅ no category conflicts (filenames fixed 70df547)
  - Pure Bootstrap: ✅ no category conflicts
  - Release: ✅ no category conflicts (B7 dual-contract fixed f916fba; §6a
    stale framing fixed 74b679b + 3260d71)

No additional fix-pushes needed on PR #835 from this matrix introduction.

## docs/r2-structure.md (edit)

Added "Manager-brief authority matrix" paragraph in §"Manager structure"
preamble, citing the matrix doc as authority. Manager briefs now cite the
matrix and stop self-categorizing.

## What this PR (#847) now contains

Cumulative deliverables:
- docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md (R1 Closure Manager brief, 6 lanes)
- docs/briefs/r1c-b/c/e/f-*.md (4 trivial R1C lane worker briefs)

  "trivial ones" direction)
- Sweep of PR #836's 14 worker briefs against the matrix at PR #836 merge
  (current sweep is main-only)

Docs-only PR adding manager briefs and escalation/authority infrastructure. No code, no substrate types touched. Cross-references look consistent. Edits to existing docs are additive and align with the manager-brief discipline already in r2-structure.md.

Verdict: APPROVE — Docs-only PR (briefs + cross-cutting escalation map + authority matrix). Modifications to existing docs are additive and internally consistent (escalation channel single-authority clause matches the new union map; C1-lane references in design-substrate-carrier-port-program.md correctly redirected through Director per the new escalation discipline). Nothing in the diff touches substrate, carriers, or Rust code, so the modeling/coding/testing rubrics don't bind here. No concerns.

Two additions to the local review checklist on the R2 manager-brief
authority matrix, both surfaced by review activity since the matrix's
initial landing:

## Status-consistency rule

openai-pro APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS on PR #835 sha 3260d71 found T-Ground-Rust
in two contradictory states: deliverables table said DISPATCHED, but
Sub-briefs Pending list said "T-Ground-Rust full implementation" pending.
Same lane, two authoritative states — the matrix's existing checklist
covered owner + artifact type but not status, leaving room for this class.

Added rule: a single deliverable cannot be both DISPATCHED/AUTHORED in the
deliverables table AND Pending/NOT YET AUTHORED in the Sub-briefs section.
Partial-state lanes must scope the partial explicitly in the table (e.g.,
"PARTIAL — Pilot PR #X done; full implementation pending"). Sub-briefs
section is single authority for authored-vs-pending; deliverables table
cites that authority without duplicating ambiguously.

Fixed in 3ef1509 on PR #835 (T-Ground-Rust row scoped to NOT YET AUTHORED).

## Pre-author verification invariant

Director's PR #836 hit feedback_verify_thesis_claims 7 times in one PR
authoring cycle (consistently: brief authored without grepping
source-of-truth before slicing). The pattern is a separate failure class
from categorization — not what the matrix's prior checklist addressed.

Added invariant: before authoring a brief that references substrate state,
gate condition, existing brief, or design-doc disposition, grep
src/v3/std/ + src/v3/spec/ + src/v3/compiler/src/ for state cited; grep
docs/briefs/ for existing canonical briefs; read the design doc's
§Director-actionable / §Q-recommendation / §Decision in full. Cite
specific file:line / brief filename / §ref in Read first. State audit
receipt before slicing.

This operationalizes feedback_verify_thesis_claims for the brief-authoring
family. Doesn't need a new INVARIANTS rule; cited existing P2 + P5 +
feedback_verify_thesis_claims as authority. Local invariant collected
here as a single review checkpoint.

…er briefs)

Per user direction "lets keep going here until we have full dispatch/briefing
for both with thorough review please" — authored the two non-trivial R1
Closure Manager lane worker briefs deferred earlier per "do the trivial ones"
direction. R1 Closure Manager lane queue now fully authored.

## R1C-A — T-TestGen schema extensions (M-L; was M before audit)

Pre-author audit at main HEAD 407a8bc (per matrix verification invariant)
revealed three coupled sub-deliverables, sized M-L total:

- **Sub-deliverable A — M1(2.8) list-body lowering for `data` declarations.**
  Compiler work in lower.rs:2446 (currently rejects `data: List<T> = [...]`
  as ValueBody::Unparsed). Predecessor for MockBackedInvariant fixture
  authoring + 6 PB-census predicate authoring. Substrate dependency: T-Substrate
  ValueBody-list/sum (PR #790; R2 sub-lane) — verify substrate state at brief-
  dispatch time per feedback_thesis_gate_state_drift.

- **Sub-deliverable B — Predicate-shape scoping for 6 PB-census gates.**
  No `.dag` predicate shape exists for any of the 6 census gates today; ROADMAP
  line 65 names T-TestGen as scoping authority. R1C-A authors them from scratch.
  Proposed shapes: CensusBoundCheck / CensusSubsetCount / FixedPointConverges /
  RatchetZero / GeneratedFromDag (per gate). Audit-first: grep dsl/std/
  test_infrastructure.dag for existing predicate-variant pattern; mirror
  schema discipline.

- **Sub-deliverable C — MockBackedInvariant minimal-demo fixture.**
  Closes testgen_mock_backed_integration_safe gate. Depends on Sub-deliverable
  A (fixture body uses list literal). 5-10 lines `.dag`.

Slice: A → B → C, sequential. STOP-AND-ESCALATE if substrate variant absent,
predicate shapes need substrate work, or DB-8 drifts.

## R1C-D — T-PB census-as-`.dag` (M-L)

Pre-author audit established census authority at sg0_census_test.rs:166-297
(EXPECTED_HAND_AUTHORED_NON_TEST 41 entries; EXPECTED_HAND_AUTHORED_TEST 77
entries; EXPECTED_HAND_AUTHORED_FRAGMENTS 1 entry). Drift test sg0_v3_hand
_authored_census at :387-451 panics with narrative on mismatch.

6 fixtures, one per census gate, each consuming an R1C-A Sub-deliverable B
predicate shape:

- D.1 pb_hand_rust_at_shim_floor (CensusBoundCheck on NON_TEST list)
- D.2 lens_producer_files_remaining (CensusSubsetCount on lens-producer pattern)
- D.3 pb_self_compile_fixed_point (FixedPointConverges on bootstrap snapshot)
- D.4 pb_compiler_std_ratchet_zero (RatchetZero on consolidation ratchet)
- D.5 pb_test_file_generated_from_dag (GeneratedFromDag on test partition)
- D.6 pb_rust_tests_outside_residual_zero (CensusBoundCheck on TEST list)

Dispatch gated on R1C-A Sub-deliverable B landing. STOP-AND-ESCALATE if
predicate shapes don't capture gate semantics (back-pressure to R1C-A);
or if cascade-promotion 0-floor work hasn't reduced census to 0 by R1 close
declaration time (gates D.1/D.2/D.6 stay RED; Director arbitration).

## R1 Closure Manager status sync

Updated r1-closure-manager.md deliverables table + Sub-briefs section to
reflect all 6 lane worker briefs as AUTHORED (per matrix's status-consistency
rule — table cannot say NOT YET AUTHORED while worker briefs are landed).
R1C-A row sized up from M to M-L per audit revealing Sub-deliverable A is
compiler work.

## Matrix invariants applied

Both new briefs follow the matrix's local checklist:
- Categorization: Category 1 (worker brief) — explicit in Cross-refs
- Owner / artifact type / status — consistent across deliverables, slice,
  acceptance, STOP-AND-ESCALATE sections
- Pre-author verification — explicit audit receipt section at top of each
  brief with file:line citations to runner / lowering / schema / census
- Discipline anchors named (feedback_construction_over_ratchets,
  feedback_audit_adjacent_authority_first, feedback_thesis_gate_state_drift,
  feedback_verify_thesis_claims, feedback_compiler_is_dag_processor,
  feedback_foundation_over_speed)

## What this PR (#847) now contains (final state expected)

- R1 Closure Manager brief + ROADMAP registration + 6 lane worker briefs
  (R1C-A through R1C-F) — full R1 closure dispatch surface
- §6a follow-through worker brief
- B5 / B6 / B7 (worker briefs + signal doc)
- Escalation-paths union map (45 clauses)
- Thesis-claim coverage map (74 claims, 0 GAPs)
- Authority matrix (5 categories + per-manager inventory + status-consistency
  + pre-author verification invariants)
- ROADMAP + r2-structure.md + design-substrate-carrier-port-program.md edits

R2 spin-up brief queue: complete. R1 closure brief queue: complete. PM inbox
#828 fully delivered.

  • Commit: 464d17d0 · Trigger: schedule
  • Thinking: 66s wall

Findings

  • docs/thesis-claim-coverage.md:212 vs docs/briefs/r1-closure-manager.md:27 — INVARIANTS.md P1 (documentation / modeling faithfulness: claims should not read as live receipts when the stricter authority the same PR adopts says otherwise). The coverage map lists claim 73 (no fabrication sentinels) as R1-closed with evidence T-P0 p0_no_fabrication_sentinel and status green. In the same PR, the R1 Closure Manager lane table puts p0_no_fabrication_sentinel in R1C-B with status NOT YET AUTHORED (strict “gate is a .dag TestClaim” reading). Those two statements cannot both be true under the strict R1 semantics the bundle elsewhere standardizes on; the row should be partial / not-started (or explicitly scoped to “Rust oracle only, .dag gate unwired”) so the thesis audit does not present a green .dag-gate receipt the closure map says is missing.

  • docs/briefs/r2-manager-brief-authority-matrix.md:215 — hygiene (not a named invariant violation). The cross-ref uses https://github.com/gunb-ai/pull/835 (missing repo segment gunbc); line 3 in the same file uses the correct …/gunbc/pull/835. Worth fixing so the matrix’s “class invariant” artifact doesn’t ship a dead link.

Verdict: APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS — The bundle is coherent on P2-style single authority for union maps (“descriptive union, sources prescriptive”), P5-style scaffolds with named dissolution triggers, and the escalation-path / r2-structure / carrier-port wording tightening is sensible. Resolve the thesis coverage vs R1 closure gate-status tension (or explain the dual semantics in-row) before treating the thesis map as a promotion-ready receipt.

Exploratory (optional): Several thesis rows lean on T-Emit / T-P0 gates that this PR still treats as closure work in other files; a quick pass for the same “green vs fixture not authored” pattern beyond claim 73 would reduce future reviewer whiplash.

Self-review pass against the matrix's pre-author verification invariant
caught two factual citation misses in r1c-a-t-testgen-schema-extensions-worker.md:

## BLOCKING — wrong file path for TestClaim schema (4 occurrences)

Brief cited `dsl/std/test_infrastructure.dag` and `src/v3/std/test_infrastructure.dag`
in 4 places (audit receipt at :17 + Sub-deliverable B framing at :61, :66 +
Slice PR-B at :87 + Cross-refs Schema authority at :119). That file does NOT
exist on main HEAD 407a8bc.

The actual TestClaim schema authority lives at:
- DSL-side: `dsl/std/verification.dag` (TestClaim at :36; full schema)
- v3-mirror: `src/v3/std/verification.dag` (TestClaim.requires at :187)

All 4 occurrences corrected to point at the real file. Schema authority
line in Cross-refs now also explicitly cites `dsl/std/verification.dag:36`
(DSL-side type declaration) for completeness.

## MINOR — predicate dispatch line range was off

Brief cited "Predicate dispatch inventory at test_runner.rs:1423-1431 has
all 10 predicates wired" — but lines 1423-1431 only contain 9 predicates
(Compiles through ExecuteCommand); MockBackedInvariant arm starts at
line 1432 and runs through 1448.

Corrected to: "in the match block at test_runner.rs:1424-1448 has all 10
predicates wired (Compiles / FailsWithDiagnostic / OutputEquals / PortHasState
/ CostBounded / LensOutputEquals / DifferentialEquals / AlgebraicLaw /
ExecuteCommand wired across :1424-1431; MockBackedInvariant arm at :1432-1448)."

## MINOR — ResourceReference line range corrected

Brief cited `src/v3/std/resources.dag:25-27` — actual range is :25-26 (the
type spans 2 lines, not 3). Corrected.

## Discipline note

Both misses were exactly the failure mode `feedback_verify_thesis_claims`
names: state cited from memory rather than grepped at brief-authoring time.
The pre-author audit was largely accurate (runner :1432-1448 quote was
exact; lower.rs:2446 diagnostic was exact; census line ranges all correct),
but two slips made it through. The matrix's pre-author verification invariant
worked at the self-review pass level — caught before automated reviewers.

Findings

  • docs/briefs/r2-manager-brief-authority-matrix.md:5 says the matrix’s authority subject is the six docs/briefs/r2-{...}-manager.md files, but those files are not present in this PR/worktree. The same doc then verifies and categorizes those absent briefs from PR docs(briefs): pre-stage 6 R2 manager briefs (PM portion of R2 spin-up readiness) #835 (docs/briefs/r2-manager-brief-authority-matrix.md:176). That violates P2 single-authority / live-state documentation discipline: the merged tree would contain an authority matrix over non-existent source briefs, so readers cannot verify the claimed authority locally.

Verdict: REQUEST_CHANGES. The overall structure is coherent, but the matrix needs to either land with the manager briefs it governs or clearly downgrade the PR #835-derived inventory to a non-authoritative pending snapshot until those files exist on main.

Per codex API review on commit 5d8d333 (BLOCKING #1 of 2):
"Gate status conflates implementation receipts with R1 acceptance gates →
split receipt progress from .dag TestClaim status and leave gates unchecked
until the claim exists and evaluates."

Fix:
- SUPERSEDED banner at top declaring R1 Closure Manager owns gate-close
  authority post-PR-#847; brief stays as historical receipt.
- Working state table reshaped into Impl / Gate / Owner columns:
  * T-P0: 3× impl [x], 3× gate [ ] (owned R1C-B)
  * T-Sub: match closed (impl + gate); type-alias impl [x] gate [ ]
    (R1C-C); charclass-2 phase-2 reclassified to R2 substrate
  * T-Emit: all 3 impl partial, all 3 gate [ ] (R1C-E wraps host
    harness via ExecuteCommand)

The strict-reading R1 closure criterion (per ROADMAP single authority +
THESIS "the release gate IS a .dag program") makes implementation-receipt
[x] insufficient for gate close. R1 Closure Manager dispatch lanes are
the actual gate-close path.
