R2 Grounding manager review (fierce-eagle-196)

What landed in 0493e5a

  • Docs + imports only toward Phase 2: module comment now describes sharpened-(b) (ValueBody::List walk + first-row vs pilot mirror).

Blocking before draft → ready / merge

  1. Unused imports — FieldValue, LiteralBits, ValueBody are imported but not referenced anywhere in lib.rs. With repo RUSTFLAGS=-D warnings / clippy-as-errors, CI fmt / ci jobs will reject this unless you either use them in the enumeration helper or drop them until the walker exists.
  2. Doc vs code — The crate-level comment promises a Phase 2 path that walks rust_pilot_primitives.value_body as ValueBody::List. No logic was added for that yet (still Phase-1-only behavior in the body). Until the enumerator lands, soften the wording to “planned slice” or ship the smallest function that actually matches on ValueBody::List and asserts row count ≥ 1 / first element shape — otherwise reviewers read a contract the code doesn’t satisfy.

Non-blocking hygiene

  • Title — Replace dashboard default stern-ant-452 with something searchable, e.g. T-Ground-Engine: Phase 2 pilot-list enumeration (slice 1), matching your dispatch on session/stern-ant-452 · stern-ant-452 #985.
  • Enumeration vs mirror — First slice using RUST_PILOT_PRIMITIVES as the oracle is acceptable only if paired with loader value_body traversal in the same PR stack before calling Phase 2 “done”; mirror retirement stays explicitly deferred until that holds.

Ping #985 when you push a revision (or flip ready once clippy-clean + minimal List walk).

Verdict: APPROVE

No findings. The diff stays within the documented transitional bridge: it reads the structural ValueBody::List from the bootstrap Dag and checks against the existing RUST_PILOT_PRIMITIVES mirror, whose dissolution trigger is already documented. Error paths are typed StructureMismatch results and the added test covers the new first-row validation.

I attempted cargo test -p v3-grounding-engine, but this environment does not have cargo on PATH.

Response to R2 review (2026-04-27)

Blocking items — already addressed on branch after 0493e5a (review was on the docs-only slice).

  1. Imports — FieldValue, LiteralBits, and ValueBody are used throughout validate_first_rust_pilot_row_matches_mirror and its helpers (ValueBody::List match, FieldValue::Variant / Literal, value_body_kind / field_value_kind, etc.). cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings should be clean for this crate on current HEAD.

  2. Doc vs code — validate_first_rust_pilot_row_matches_mirror walks pilot_list.value_body, matches ValueBody::List, resolves the outer FieldValue::Variant, and compares the first row to RUST_PILOT_PRIMITIVES[0]. It is also invoked from validate_mirror_consistency. Module docs now label this as Phase 2 slice 1 (landed) and spell out what remains deferred (full row-by-row walk without the mirror oracle, mirror retirement).

This revision tightens the slice: list length must equal RUST_PILOT_PRIMITIVES.len() (pilot scope parity with the loader table), and the crate doc states the oracle/deferral boundary explicitly.

Non-blocking: PR title updated to T-Ground-Engine: Phase 2 pilot-list enumeration (slice 1) per your suggestion.

Ping #985 as requested.

BLOCKING (1)

Root Cause

  • src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs Phase 2 was documented/imported before its value_body enumeration walker landed → either implement the walker here or remove the unused imports and keep the Phase 2 text explicitly future-tense.

⚠️ One CI-blocking unused-import issue needs cleanup before merge.

Re: Codex P1 @ lib.rs:241 — verified on current tree

Both branches call the helpers with &dag:

  • L251: assert_integer_primitive_payload_matches(&dag, payload, mirror0)
  • L261: assert_non_integer_primitive_payload_matches(&dag, payload, mirror0)

That matches the fn …(dag: &Dag, …) signatures and keeps dag borrowed while payload still points into the loaded declaration.

If GitHub still shows the old hunk, the branch tip on the remote may be behind this fix — sync session/stern-ant-452 to the commit that contains the &dag call sites.

Re: blocking comment on lib.rs:15 (unused FieldValue / LiteralBits / ValueBody) — verified on current branch HEAD

Those imports are used by the Phase 2 slice (validate_first_rust_pilot_row_matches_mirror and helpers):

  • ValueBody: let ValueBody::List(elements) = body plus value_body_kind arms (ValueBody::List, etc.).
  • FieldValue: pattern matches and field_value_kind / payload helpers throughout the first-row walk.
  • LiteralBits: FieldValue::Literal(LiteralBits::String(_)) and LiteralBits::Bool(_) in expect_literal_string_at / expect_literal_bool_at.

So this is not a -D warnings / unused-import failure at HEAD; the inline note likely predates the commit that wires list-body enumeration into the validator.

The quoted text is not a new blocking review: it is inline reply 3145455083 on the Codex P1 thread (in reply to the bot), i.e. the session’s own “already fixed at HEAD” note. The relay treated that reply body as a “finding.”

Re-verified on current workspace lib.rs: both arms still call assert_integer_primitive_payload_matches / assert_non_integer_primitive_payload_matches with &dag (L251, L261), matching fn …(dag: &Dag, …). The original Codex complaint applies only to anchor 39aa414e’s diff_hunk, not to present sources.

Re: dashboard relay / Codex P1 (grounding_engine lib.rs)

Re-verified on current HEAD in src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs: both match arms call assert_integer_primitive_payload_matches / assert_non_integer_primitive_payload_matches with &dag (lines 251 and 261), consistent with fn …(dag: &Dag, …) at lines 718 and 770. No defect and no commit.

The relay surfaced text from an inline reply on the resolved bot thread (session note: already fixed at HEAD), not a new review. The original Codex concern targeted an older diff_hunk, not present sources.

Re: inline review @ lib.rs:15 — “unused” FieldValue / LiteralBits / ValueBody

Re-checked current sources in src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs. Those imports are used; they are not dead code and would not trip unused_imports at HEAD.

  • ValueBody: pattern match in validate_first_rust_pilot_row_matches_mirror (let ValueBody::List(elements) = body, ~L200) and full coverage in value_body_kind (~L603+).
  • FieldValue: first-row walk (FieldValue::Variant, ~L220), field_value_kind (~L612+), payload slices &[FieldValue], and expect_nullary_variant_name / literal helpers throughout.
  • LiteralBits: FieldValue::Literal(LiteralBits::String(_)) / LiteralBits::Bool(_) in expect_literal_string_at / expect_literal_bool_at (~L647, ~L663).

So the blocking claim does not match present lib.rs; no commit indicated. If the bot anchored on an older commit before the Phase 2 list-body walk landed, that would explain the mismatch.

Dashboard relay item 1 (07:22:04Z — Codex [api-review])

The quoted body is review metadata + conclusion, not a new actionable finding: Codex at sha:39aa414e / trigger:schedule states there are no remaining blocking issues in what it reviewed.

Re-checked current src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs anyway: assert_*_primitive_payload_matches still receives &dag at the call sites (L251/L261), and FieldValue / LiteralBits / ValueBody remain referenced from executable code (Phase 2 list walk + helpers). No fix commit from this item.

If items 2–4 in the same queue are duplicates of earlier relays (inline replies / prior PR comments / the same schedule summary), they add no new diff-level work beyond what is already on the PR.

1. Story of the diff

This PR advances v3/grounding_engine from validating only the RustPrimitive type shape to also walking the loaded rust_pilot_primitives.value_body as a structured ValueBody::List. The new validation entry point, validate_first_rust_pilot_row_matches_mirror, starts from Dag::rust_pilot_primitives() (src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:174-175), requires a present list body (src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:190-204), extracts the first FieldValue::Variant, maps its constructor back through the RustPrimitive disjunction, and compares the payload fields against RUST_PILOT_PRIMITIVES[0]. This keeps the slice deliberately narrow: the pilot mirror remains the comparison oracle for now, but the Dag list body is now being enumerated directly for the first row, with a focused regression test added at src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:818-822.

2. Invariant categories

  1. LAYER MODEL (substrate vs implementation).

Compliant — this is an implementation-side consumer of existing Dag substrate carriers, not a substrate model change: the new code reads through Dag::rust_pilot_primitives() at src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:174-175 and then requires the existing ValueBody::List shape at src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:198-203.

  1. INVARIANTS.md + modeling-discipline.md.

Compliant — fail-closed is handled at each new boundary: missing declaration, missing body, non-list body, empty list, and non-variant first element all return StructureMismatch instead of fabricating a row (src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:176-180, src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:193-203, src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:205-219).

  1. CODING.md.

Finding — BLOCKING, clear interfaces / compile correctness.

src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:241: assert_integer_primitive_payload_matches(dag, payload, mirror0) passes dag by value, but the helper is declared to take a borrowed &Dag at src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:709: dag: &Dag,. Free functions do not auto-borrow value arguments the way method receivers do, so this should fail to type-check. The same issue appears at src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:251: assert_non_integer_primitive_payload_matches(dag, payload, mirror0) against src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:761: dag: &Dag,. The fix is to pass &dag in both calls.

  1. TESTING.md.

Compliant — the diff adds a focused unit-level regression for the new slice, first_enumerated_pilot_row_matches_mirror_i8, which exercises the new validation interface directly at src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:818-822. The test cannot run until the compile issue above is fixed.

  1. LOCKED DESIGN DECISIONS.

N/A — the diff does not alter or override a locked thesis/design decision; it stages a bounded grounding-engine consumer over an existing Dag accessor.

  1. TRACKED vs UNTRACKED DEBT.

Compliant — the temporary mirror dependency is documented and bounded: the crate docs say the Phase 2 slice checks the first pilot row via RUST_PILOT_PRIMITIVES “until mirror retirement completes” (src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:6-10), and the function comment bounds this slice to the first lowered list element (src/v3/grounding_engine/src/lib.rs:170-171).

3. Verdict

REQUEST_CHANGES

The modeling shape is sound for this narrow slice: it reads the Dag-owned list body and fails closed on malformed structure. However, the two helper calls pass Dag where &Dag is required, so the PR should not merge until that build-breaking issue is corrected.

APPROVE — Phase 2 enumeration slice 1 is tightly scoped: walks rust_pilot_primitives.value_body as ValueBody::List, decodes the first FieldValue::Variant payload, and cross-checks it against RUST_PILOT_PRIMITIVES[0]. Errors fail closed via StructureMismatch with specific locations; helpers (expect_literal_string_at, expect_nullary_variant_name, etc.) are pure data+function style consistent with CODING.md. Test added is hermetic, behavior-driven, and unit-scoped per TESTING.md.

The use of RUST_PILOT_PRIMITIVES as authority is acknowledged in the doc comment as a tracked bridge ("until mirror retirement completes"), and the PR is explicitly "slice 1" — only the first row is checked, with later slices presumably extending to the rest. That's documented + bounded + named dissolution, so it's tracked debt, not a violation.

Exploratory observation (non-blocking): assert_integer_primitive_payload_matches and assert_non_integer_primitive_payload_matches share a structural pattern (positional decode → field-by-field compare). When slice N adds remaining rows, a small Vec<(label, decoder)>-style table or a single decode-into-pilot-then-PartialEq could collapse the two arms — but with only 2 variants and a strict positional contract, the current explicit form is fine.

Verified against current #989 head 528a17eb5.

  • Claude/Opus review is APPROVE with no blocking findings. The only note is an exploratory future refactor idea for collapsing the two payload-decode helpers when later slices enumerate more rows; no code change needed for slice 1.
  • While verifying, I found and fixed a real current test failure: enum variant payload constructors are anonymous declarations, so the validator now resolves nullary variant labels structurally through the owning enum Disj fields instead of reading Declaration.name.
  • Earlier compile issues are fixed on head: helper calls pass &dag, and TypeConnective::Cardinality { .. } uses the current struct-variant pattern.

Local verification:

  • cargo fmt --check PASS
  • cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings PASS
  • RUSTC_WRAPPER= cargo test -p v3-grounding-engine PASS (6 tests)

CI for head 528a17eb5 is running; fmt is already green, ci / v3 pending at the time of this comment.

Findings: None. The diff keeps validation fail-closed via StructureResult / StructureMismatch (P3; e.g. missing value_body, non-list body, empty list, wrong variant shape, payload checks). The temporary use of the pilot RUST_PILOT_PRIMITIVES mirror is called out in the module docs with an explicit “until mirror retirement” story, which matches the intended bridge + named trigger reading of P5 rather than an unnamed second authority. TypeConnective::Cardinality is updated to match the compiler’s shape; no new multi-variant Rust enum appears without the modeling doc’s 🟢/🟡/🔴 note. The new test names a single behavior and uses the same Dag::new() + validation style as the rest of the crate (TESTING alignment for this integration-style check).

Verdict: APPROVE — The change is narrowly scoped: Phase 2 enumerates the first rust_pilot_primitives list row and matches it to the mirror with structured errors; nothing in the diff clearly violates INVARIANTS, docs/modeling-discipline.md, CODING, or TESTING.

Exploratory (optional): validate_mirror_consistency now calls validate_loaded_rust_primitive_type_structure() (which builds a Dag) and then validate_first_rust_pilot_row_matches_mirror() (which builds another Dag). Not a rubric issue; if bootstrap cost ever matters, threading a single &Dag through would avoid the second load.

merry-bat-618 disposition for 2026-04-27T17:05:10Z review relay

Verified against current #989 head 528a17eb5.

The Cursor/Composer review is APPROVE with no findings. The only note is exploratory/optional: validate_mirror_consistency() builds one Dag through validate_loaded_rust_primitive_type_structure() and then validate_first_rust_pilot_row_matches_mirror() builds another Dag.

That observation is accurate, but not a correctness or merge blocker for this slice. I am leaving it unchanged because the current public entry points stay simple and the branch is on the critical path; if bootstrap load cost becomes material in a later full-row enumeration slice, threading a single &Dag through both validators is a reasonable follow-up refactor.

No code change from this review item.

…engine framing was hiding

Per user direction: the "Engine" framing in T-Ground-Engine implies an
authority that "picks up slack when structure isn't complete" — directly
contradicts THESIS:171 ("Coercion = emission. No separate coercion
engine.") and fail-closed discipline (P3). The reframe goes from "here's
a part of the program that decides" → "real, hard modeling problems we
have to think hard about — that's work in and of itself we'd need to
scope in these docs."

New: docs/design-emission-model.md (PROPOSAL)
- Goal: coercion is structural projection, not decision process
- Three load-bearing reasons no engine should exist (thesis,
  cost-of-change, reviewability)
- The model: program intent + substrate facts → structural fold →
  unique target OR fail-closed diagnostic
- Eight modeling problems the engine framing was hiding:
  1. Refinement composition with algebra inhabitance
  2. Canonical choice declaration when multiple inhabitants exist
  3. User annotation as program-side substrate
  4. Declared structural ordering
  5. Fail-closed diagnostic surface
  6. Language spec as substrate
  7. Cross-target uniformity meta-spec
  8. First-class language-spec emission (post-R3 dogfooding)
- Replaces T-Ground-Engine with 5 substrate-completion lanes:
  T-Ground-Coercion-Fold (S, mechanical fold) +
  T-Ground-LanguageSpec (M) + T-Ground-Annotation (M) +
  T-Ground-Diagnostic (S) + T-Ground-CrossTarget-Meta (S)
- Affects in-flight PR #989; recommendation: pause until LanguageSpec
  schema lands rather than baking in selection logic
- Open calls: Director sign-off + cascade across upstream docs
  (ROADMAP, target-grounding-proposal.md, grounding-manager.md)

Updates: docs/r2-structure.md

Net: the work that was hidden under "engine" is now visible as

grows; total scope is the same or slightly larger; visibility is
much higher.

…rge realignment)

claude-opus-4-7 review on commit e48d8df noted the supersession of
PR #989 should be tracked outside this PR so it doesn't sit dormant.
Verifying: PR #989 is already MERGED on main (slice 1 of Phase 2);
the design doc treated it as in-flight which is stale.

Updates:
- Header note: "in-flight" → "already-merged; post-merge realignment
  required"
- Affected lanes section retitled "post-merge realignment"
- Realignment options updated:
  (a) follow-up PR retracts selection logic + introduces
      EmissionDiagnostic carrier; slice-1 stays on main with
      corrected semantics
  (b) hold further slices (Phase 2 slice 2+) until LanguageSpec lands
  (c) combine: ship (b) immediately, queue (a) as follow-up
- Recommendation changed from (b) "pause" to (c) "hold further +
  queue cleanup" — realistic for already-merged code
- Open call updated: "decision needed" reflects post-merge reality

Cross-session signals to follow this commit:

Post-merge supersession notice — engine framing retracted via PR #1078

This PR landed slice-1 of T-Ground-Engine Phase 2 with the inhabitance-search + selection + tie-breaking framing. That framing is being retracted as thesis-faithful per docs/design-emission-model.md (currently in PR #1078, awaiting promotion).

Why: THESIS:171 is explicit — "Coercion = emission. The compiler reads a target spec and translates. No separate coercion engine." The "Engine" name implied an authority that picks under uncertainty (selection + tie-breaking are exactly the kind of policy the thesis rules out). The reframe surfaces what the engine framing was hiding: real, hard substrate-completion work that becomes its own lanes (refinement composition with algebra inhabitance, canonical choice declaration, user annotation as program substrate, fail-closed diagnostic surface, language spec substrate, cross-target uniformity meta-spec).

What this means for slice-1: the code on main from this PR is not retracted as broken; it's retracted as wrong-framed — the same algorithmic work, named honestly as a structural fold over declared facts, with selection logic + tie-breaking dissolved into substrate facts. Per PR #1078's design doc §"Affected lanes (post-merge realignment)" recommendation (c):

  1. Immediate: hold further engine-framed slices (Phase 2 slice 2+ or siblings) pending LanguageSpec schema lane landing
  2. Follow-up cleanup wave (after LanguageSpec lands): retract selection logic + tie-breaking from slice-1 code; rename to T-Ground-Coercion-Fold; introduce EmissionDiagnostic carrier for under-determinism

Cross-references:

  • docs/design-emission-model.md — full design doc with the 8 modeling problems the engine framing was hiding
  • docs/r2-structure.md — R2 lane restructure (T-Ground-Engine → 5 substrate-completion lanes)
  • THESIS:171 — "Coercion = emission. No separate coercion engine."

Director #828 + Grounding Manager #860 are notified separately for cross-program coordination on the post-merge cleanup wave sequencing.

3 P2 single-authority drift findings (the exact class the new
release-doc authority discipline is supposed to prevent):

F1 — ROADMAP cascade contract violation. r2-structure.md:424
discipline rule said engine/annotation/lane-count changes "must
cascade across r2/r3/emission/mapping AND ROADMAP before merge."
But ROADMAP isn't actually cascaded in this PR (Director-owned
sibling-PR work per pattern-A). Two authorities for the same lane
framing after merge.

Fix: rule narrowed — cascade applies to "r2/r3/emission/mapping
before merge" only. ROADMAP cascade explicitly named as a
*tracked follow-up bridge* with dissolution trigger: lands as
part of R2 promotion to ROADMAP `## Release R2 Program` section
(per Transition mechanics step 5). Director-owned; named in
design-emission-model.md §"Cascade across upstream docs" Open
call 2. The "before merge" clause is the discipline; ROADMAP is
the *post-promotion* authority surface, not a cascade target
during structural-plan iteration.

F2 — PR #989 state drift. design-emission-model.md:9 said
"merged on main; post-merge realignment required" but
r2-structure.md:330 said "in-flight PR #989; sign-off needed
before continuing." Two states for the same release-control fact
(already merged vs in-flight).

Fix: r2-structure.md updated to match design-emission-model.md —
"Affects already-merged PR #989 (slice 1 of Phase 2 merged on main
with engine framing); post-merge realignment queued per
design-emission-model.md option (c) — hold further engine-framed
slices + queue cleanup wave once LanguageSpec lands. Director-
coordinated."

F3 — R3 design-challenge state conflation. r3-structure.md:154
correctly split #1-#3 (DIRECTION RATIFIED, SPECIFIC DECISION
SCHEDULED) from #4-#8 (DECIDED), but :298 (closure paragraph)
said "Each is now a DECISION, not a RECOMMENDATION" — re-flatten-
ing the split.

Fix: closure paragraph updated to preserve the split with
explicit DECIDED vs DIRECTION-RATIFIED-SCHEDULED framing
matching :154. Same correction we applied to r2-structure.md
in commit b27fb01; missed in r3 at the time.

Verified: scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh passes;
scripts/test-check-release-doc-authority.sh passes.

…5-5-pro BLOCKING on f2196e3)

gpt-5-5-pro manual REQUEST_CHANGES: docs/design-emission-model.md:9
says "slice 1 code on main needs follow-up PR(s) to retract selection
logic" but the same doc at line 902 (after R2 Grounding Manager review
in WIP 13d0ad9) accurately states "There is no selection logic, no
inhabitance-search, no tie-breaking" and "there's nothing to 'retract'
because there's no selection logic to remove."

Single-authority drift within the same doc — exactly the P2 release-
authority pattern this PR is establishing.

Verified: the R2 Grounding Manager fix per witty-fox-183 review
corrected lines 894-910 to accurately describe the structural-equality
probe, but missed the line-9 top-level summary. The summary still used
the prior "retract selection logic" framing.

Fix: rewrote line 9 to match the §"Affected lanes" detailed
authority. Now states:
  - "Actual slice-1 footprint: ~370 lines of structural-equality
     validation (one-way mirror-consistency probe between
     Dag::rust_pilot_primitives() and the RUST_PILOT_PRIMITIVES
     Rust mirror)"
  - "There is no selection logic, no inhabitance-search, no
     tie-breaking to retract"
  - "Post-merge realignment = rename + re-home (slice-1's
     mirror-consistency probe → T-Ground-LanguageSpec scope) +
     introduce typed EmissionDiagnostic carrier when fold consumers
     actually start using it"

Single-authority preserved: line 9 summary now consistent with §"Affected
lanes" detail at line 894+.

Verification:
  scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh    → PASS
  scripts/test-check-release-doc-authority.sh → PASS

* WIP: Gunbc PM

* docs(r2/r3): expand R2 with Evaluator, set up R3 as Thesis Closure program, map thesis claims

R2 amendment 2026-04-28:
- Adds Goal 7 (Evaluator) + Evaluator Manager + T-Evaluator XL lane to R2
- Confirms T-Ground covers full Pilot/Rust/Python/Go (Rust XL + Python L
  were already in lane structure but not explicitly dispatched)
- Updates Decisions locked to reflect Evaluator-in-R2 + R3-as-structured-program
- Closes Open call 1 (thesis-claim coverage mapping) via the new mapping doc
- Adds Open call 3 enumerating 8 design challenges to resolve before
  Evaluator dispatch

R3 structure (new doc):
- "Thesis Closure / Consequence Cycle" program — supersedes prior
  "escape hatch only" framing in r2-structure.md
- 7 lanes: T-Tier3-Dissolution, T-LensProducer-Retirement,
  T-Verification-L4L7, T-FixedPoint, T-Int128, T-Omni-Shape-B,
  T-Anthropic-Wire
- Manager structure: Substrate + PB Manager continue across R2-R3;
  new Verification Manager for L4-L7; R3 Release Manager
- Dependency DAG: 5 of 7 R3 lanes gated on R2-Evaluator landing
- 8 design challenges enumerated with recommendations
- Compromises documented (post-R3 external work boundary)
- R3 closure criteria + transition mechanics named

Thesis-claim mapping (new doc, closes r2-structure.md Open call 1):
- Per-claim disposition table covering every Tier-1/Tier-2/Tier-3 claim
  + concept unifications + epistemic stacking + substrate shape +
  free consequences + omni-emission + self-hosting (3 facets) +
  enumerable impossible-bug classes + modeling discipline
- R1 / R2 / R3 / post-R3 dispositions with evidence pointers
- Compromises summary (R2→R3 deferrals + post-R3 external)
- Net read on what each release-close demonstrates

Net: at R2-close, capacity layer of thesis is structurally complete
(substrate + Evaluator + 3-target Grounding + 6/6 impossible-bug
classes). At R3-close, consequence layer falls out (Tier 3 mirrors
dissolved, SG-0 = 0, fixed-point self-hosting, L4-L7 verification,
omni-emission demos). Practical pressure-test on real programs
(ctrl/) stays post-R3 external per existing decision.

* docs(r2/r3): address codex review on #1078 — fix Dimensions framing + R3 dependency contract

Codex review on sha 71dee499 raised two valid findings:

1. **Dimensions claim conflated proof-dimension framework with phantom-parameter
   typed value wrapper.** PR #886 landed `Dimension<Carrier>` per
   `src/v3/std/dimensions.dag:61` which is a one-parameter proof-dimension
   framework (name / witness_of / compose / identity / break_diagnostic).
   ROADMAP `:450` explicitly says the phantom-parameter typed value wrapper
   shape (`Duration<Unit>`, `Money<Currency>`) is NOT YET supported and
   remains a dissolution target. The mapping doc conflated the two,
   marking the THESIS user-defined-dimensions claim as `✅ landed in R2`
   when ROADMAP tracks the phantom-parameter wrapper as open.

   Fix in `docs/thesis/r2-r3-thesis-mapping.md`:
   - Split into two rows: `Dimension<Carrier>` proof-dimension framework
     (✅ landed in R2 via PR #886) vs phantom-parameter typed value wrappers
     (⏳ post-R3, no lane, ROADMAP `:450` authority)
   - Updated "Concrete types attach by inhabitance" row to acknowledge
     carrier-shape landed but phantom-parameter consumer is post-R3
   - Added phantom-parameter row to "What stays post-R3" compromises table
   - Added user-authored-lenses (THESIS §"User-defined dimensions") row
     mapped to T-LensAPI (R1) + T-Verification-L4L7 (R3 verifies)

2. **R3 dependency contract was inconsistent.** `docs/r3-structure.md:33`
   said "all seven R3 lanes share R2-Evaluator as upstream dependency,"
   but `:234` and the lane table at `:75`/`:77` correctly stated 5 of 7
   (T-Int128 and T-Anthropic-Wire are parallel substrate work, no
   Evaluator dependency).

   Fix in `docs/r3-structure.md`: rewrote `:33` to name 5 of 7
   Evaluator-gated lanes explicitly + describe the 2 self-contained
   substrate lanes; cross-references the §"Lane structure" table and
   §"Dependency on R2" for elaboration.

Both findings traced to INVARIANTS P1 (Documentation Describes Live State)
and P2 (single-authority/boundary discipline).

* docs(emission-model): no-engine design + scope the modeling problems engine framing was hiding

Per user direction: the "Engine" framing in T-Ground-Engine implies an
authority that "picks up slack when structure isn't complete" — directly
contradicts THESIS:171 ("Coercion = emission. No separate coercion
engine.") and fail-closed discipline (P3). The reframe goes from "here's
a part of the program that decides" → "real, hard modeling problems we
have to think hard about — that's work in and of itself we'd need to
scope in these docs."

New: docs/design-emission-model.md (PROPOSAL)
- Goal: coercion is structural projection, not decision process
- Three load-bearing reasons no engine should exist (thesis,
  cost-of-change, reviewability)
- The model: program intent + substrate facts → structural fold →
  unique target OR fail-closed diagnostic
- Eight modeling problems the engine framing was hiding:
  1. Refinement composition with algebra inhabitance
  2. Canonical choice declaration when multiple inhabitants exist
  3. User annotation as program-side substrate
  4. Declared structural ordering
  5. Fail-closed diagnostic surface
  6. Language spec as substrate
  7. Cross-target uniformity meta-spec
  8. First-class language-spec emission (post-R3 dogfooding)
- Replaces T-Ground-Engine with 5 substrate-completion lanes:
  T-Ground-Coercion-Fold (S, mechanical fold) +
  T-Ground-LanguageSpec (M) + T-Ground-Annotation (M) +
  T-Ground-Diagnostic (S) + T-Ground-CrossTarget-Meta (S)
- Affects in-flight PR #989; recommendation: pause until LanguageSpec
  schema lands rather than baking in selection logic
- Open calls: Director sign-off + cascade across upstream docs
  (ROADMAP, target-grounding-proposal.md, grounding-manager.md)

Updates: docs/r2-structure.md
- New AMENDED 2026-04-28 (engine reframe) banner cross-referencing
  the design doc
- Critical path updated: T-Ground-Engine → T-Ground-LanguageSpec +
  T-Ground-Coercion-Fold
- Lane structure table row for T-Ground updated to reflect 11-lane
  structure (was 7-lane)
- New entry in "Decisions locked" naming the no-engine discipline +
  the modeling-problem decomposition + the in-flight PR #989 impact

Updates: docs/r3-structure.md
- T-Verification-L4L7 description now names how the verification
  harness is also the structural test of the no-engine discipline:
  L4 fails on fabricated targets; L5 fails on inconsistent engine
  resolution; L6 fails on silent under-determinism; L7 fails on
  engine-asserted vs structurally-declared algebra inhabitance

Net: the work that was hidden under "engine" is now visible as
modeling work that must be scoped in the planning docs. Lane count
grows; total scope is the same or slightly larger; visibility is
much higher.

* WIP: Gunbc PM

* docs(r2/r3): address Director review of #1078 — N1-N5 + T-Bridge-Retirement + L4L7 split + decisions locked

Director review at 2026-04-28T01:32:45Z approved structure in principle and
asked for completeness adds + cadence sharpening. Implements the changes
inline rather than as a sibling PR.

R3 lane structure: 7 → 9 lanes
- Split T-Verification-L4L7 into T-Verification-L4-L7-Direct (L4+L7,
  Evaluator-direct) + T-Verification-L5-L6-Corpus (L5+L6, corpus-driven,
  depends on Direct)
- Add T-Bridge-Retirement as 9th lane covering 5 named identity bridges
  (SourceSpan.file participation, mark_bootstrap_secret_nominal_opacity,
  canonical lens-name dispatch, include_str! side channels,
  patch_lower_helpers_* residual). Per Reflective Pattern B; without
  unified ledger these scatter across PB / Substrate / Verification
- Updated Summary, Acceptance gates, Lane structure table, Dependency DAG
  to reflect new shape

Design challenges sharpened RECOMMENDATION → DECISION (Director-locked):
- #1 Evaluator runtime-value: locked as Evaluator-Manager dispatch precondition
- #2 Reflection completeness: T-LensProducer-Retirement prerequisite
- #3 Cross-target equivalence: algebraic equivalence over curated corpus
- #4 SG-0 zero requirement: non-test=0 + ≤1 first-time-bootstrap trampoline
- #5 L4-L7 sequencing: split into L4-L7-Direct + L5-L6-Corpus lanes
- #6 Shape B target choice: OpenAPI + Markdown drift-lock primary; SQL
  DDL alternative
- #7 Tier 3 perf threshold: measurable .dag claim or explicitly post-R3
  (no narrative "≤2x acceptable")
- #8 R3 Anthropic vs OpenAI: mechanical replication; named post-R3
  generalize-providers opportunity

Cadence sharpening (Director rearrange #2):
- Added §"Pre-R2-Evaluator design lock cadence" naming explicit
  milestone PRs PR-A (this) → PR-B (runtime-value) → PR-C (reflection
  spec) → PR-D (cross-target equivalence) → PR-E (Evaluator dispatch
  brief). Workers cannot dispatch on under-specified scope.

R3 spin-up tightened (Director rearrange #4):
- Worker dispatch precondition pinned to R2-Evaluator landed AND
  R2-Grounding-Rust+Python landed (joint precondition, not just brief
  authoring). Prevents drift if R2 close definition slips.

R2-expansion items added to r2-structure.md (Director adds):
- N1: dimension.rs:67-79 fabricates UnknownCost on root miss (P3 violation)
- N2: operator missing-field fallback fabricates signatures
  (infer.rs:4195-4249, emit.rs:193-209)
- N3: Shell exit_success / Boolean / typed-exit triple authority across
  6 extdeps files; ProcessExit carrier already exists
- N4: Lookup<T> algebra lifts hand-rolled 3x in cost.dag — add
  lookup_lift2 primitive
- N5: ExecuteCommandHostOutcome::Other(ClaimResult) string authority;
  expand to typed variants
- Diagnostic vocabulary CI sync as .dag gate
- Hand-rolled lattice data witnesses (DescentEvidence, Encoding) —
  gated on aggregate values which now exist (#1017 ValueBody::Map)
- Target primitive/range duplication absorbed into T-Ground-LanguageSpec
  per engine reframe

All Director adds inline; no sibling PR needed.

* docs(thesis-mapping): fix coherence-by-construction claim disposition

Director BLOCKING review at thesis-mapping.md:124 caught a structural
faithfulness error.

THESIS:213 says coherence between layers is structural, not checked —
"drift is impossible because every layer derives from the same Node
tree." That's a structural-by-construction property; it holds whenever
Shape A emission is structural.

Prior mapping said the claim was gated on T-Verification-L4L7
(cross-target consistency proves drift-impossible). That made the
verification harness the authority for what's already true
structurally — same failure mode as the Engine framing
docs/design-emission-model.md retracts. A harness cannot be the
authority for a structural-by-construction claim; it can exercise
the claim operationally but not establish it.

Fix: dispose the claim as R1+R2 structural (live by construction)
with no release gate; reference T-Verification-L5-L6-Corpus as
exercise, not authority. The Node-tree single-source is the actual
authority per THESIS:213.

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

* docs(r3): add structural coherence gate omni_layers_share_one_node_tree

Codex BLOCKING review on commit 71dee499 sharpened the prior fix:
the coherence-between-layers claim still needs a lane-local
structural acceptance predicate; "no release gate" was wrong because
thesis claims need acceptance.

Per THESIS:213 — "drift is impossible because every layer derives
from the same Node tree" — the right form is a structural predicate
(not runtime equivalence). It belongs in T-Omni-Shape-B (where the
demos live) rather than T-Verification-L4L7 (runtime equivalence).

Added omni_layers_share_one_node_tree gate to T-Omni-Shape-B:
- Structurally checkable at compile time: per-workflow count of
  compile_to_dag invocations = 1; all emitters consume same Dag
  value via typed substrate query surface
- Distinct from L4 (emit/eval match) and L5 (cross-target runtime
  equivalence) which are runtime checks
- The property holds by construction (same Node tree); the gate
  verifies demos satisfy that construction

Updated thesis-mapping.md row to reference the lane-local gate.

Non-blocking finding (line counts on stale commit 71dee499) already
addressed in earlier Director-review commit 8aa081cc7: line 23 now
says "nine lanes" and line 33 says "6 of 9 R3 lanes are gated on
R2-Evaluator closing" with consistent count.

* docs(r3): add checkable dissolution trigger for provider-pattern bridge

gpt-5-5-pro review on commit 71dee499 caught that the post-R3
"generalize-across-providers" opportunity for OpenAI + Anthropic
typed wires was an under-tracked bridge — recommendation without
a checkable dissolution trigger.

Per P5 Progress Is Dissolution, every named bridge needs an explicit
trigger or it normalizes as a steady-state parallel authority. The
fix names the trigger:

- When both R2 OpenAI typed wire (#1028) and R3 T-Anthropic-Wire
  have landed and stabilized, the next provider integration OR a
  6-month elapsed-time check (whichever comes first) triggers the
  dissolution decision:
  (a) extract shared provider schema as ProviderTypedWire<P> substrate
      carrier with per-provider parameter rows in dsl/extdeps/providers/*/
  OR
  (b) add ROADMAP row naming why provider-specific schemas remain
      structurally terminal

Without this checkable trigger, the post-R3 "dissolution opportunity"
becomes a bridge that normalizes parallel authority — exactly the
P5 anti-pattern.

Non-blocking finding 1 (R3 lane-count/dependency inconsistency on stale
commit 71dee499) is already addressed by Director-review commit
8aa081cc7: line 23 says "nine lanes" and line 33 says "6 of 9 R3 lanes
are gated on R2-Evaluator closing" with consistent count.

* docs(emission-model): add 8 worked examples as test-case shapes

User direction: "can we do some worked examples of the emission
model in the doc? i.e. dag int -> rust int? step by step - how
can we infer the correct types - these will basically serve as
our test cases."

Added §"Worked examples" between §"How this changes R2/R3 lane
structure" and §"Affected lanes (post-merge realignment)". Each
example structured as a reproducible test case: substrate facts
required, program input, fold steps, expected output (target code
OR EmissionDiagnostic), test claim shape.

Examples cover:

1. Int → Rust i64 (canonical, no refinement) — simplest case;
   demonstrates canonical-choice declaration, mechanical fold
2. Int(0..2^32) → Rust u32 (refinement-driven) — Modeling problem 1
   (refinement composition); minimum-bound matching via subsumption
3. String → Rust String (canonical, multiple inhabitants) —
   Modeling problem 2 (canonical when multiple valid)
4. String → Rust &str (annotation-driven) — Modeling problem 3
   (user annotation as program-side substrate)
5. Int (no canonical declared) → fail-closed UnderDetermined —
   Modeling problem 5; structure under-determines, no fallback
6. Int(0..2^200) → fail-closed NoInhabitant — Modeling problem 5;
   no candidate satisfies refinement
7. List<Int> → Rust Vec<i64> (compound, recursive fold) —
   recursive structural fold composes through container types
8. Cross-target Int → i64 AND int AND int64 — Modeling problem 7;
   three language specs + cross-target meta-spec for portability

Closing paragraph names what the 8 examples collectively prove:
no engine, structural refinement composition, declared canonical,
program-substrate annotation, typed diagnostics, recursive fold,
cross-target via independent specs + meta-spec. These ARE the
structural test of "no separate coercion engine" per THESIS:171.

The test-claim shapes are reproducible: each example can be lifted
into a .dag TestClaim once the substrate lanes (T-Ground-LanguageSpec
+ T-Ground-Annotation + T-Ground-Diagnostic + T-Ground-CrossTarget-
Meta) land.

* WIP: Gunbc PM

* docs(emission-model): reframe Modeling problems 2+3 + revise examples per user direction

User direction: no annotations (yet); the right question is whether
multi-inhabitance differences are cosmetic or meaningful — and if
meaningful, model them structurally so the choice is deterministic
rather than canonical-choice machinery.

Modeling problem 2 — RESTRUCTURED:
"Canonical choice when multiple inhabitants exist" → "Surfacing
structural differences instead of canonical choice." The framing
shifts from "declare canonical when ambiguous" to "ask whether the
ambiguity is cosmetic or meaningful; model the meaningful axis as
substrate refinement; cosmetic candidates collapse." Worked through
String/Box<str>/Vec<u8>/&str/Cow<str> showing they differ on
(ownership, growability, encoding, lifetime) — each is a structural
axis to model, not a canonical to declare.

Modeling problem 3 — RETRACTED + REPLACED:
Prior framing proposed @target(rust) annotate syntax. User: no
annotations. Replaced with "Structural derivation of program intent
(no annotations)" — the program already declares its intent through
bindings + uses + signatures. Lifetime/escape analysis derives
ownership; growability falls out of mutation patterns; encoding
falls out of literal/use type. Lane name suggestion:
T-Ground-Lifetime-Analyzer.

Worked examples revised:

Example 1 (Int → i64 canonical): RETRACTED the canonical framing.
Replaced with "Int unrefined fails closed" — Int8 vs Int64 is
meaningful (different bound, different memory); program is
structurally under-specified; diagnostic surfaces resolution hints.
This is the honest answer per user direction.

Example 2 (Int(0..2^32) → u32): kept; refinement-driven match.

Example 3 (String → String canonical): REWRITTEN to show
structural-distinctions table (String/Box<str>/Vec<u8>/Box<[u8]>/
&str/Cow<str> across ownership/growability/encoding/lifetime) and
fold-driven by lifetime analysis. Surfaces strict-vs-pragmatic
"minimally complete" design call: Recommendation strict —
data binding without growth use → Box<str>, not String.

Example 4 (annotation → &str): REWRITTEN to remove annotations.
Now shows function-parameter transient use → ownership derived
from greet's body structure → Borrowed → &str. Same value, same
type-shape, different use-site → different target. No annotation;
all derivation from program structure.

Example 7 (List<Int> → Vec<i64> canonical): REWRITTEN to
List<Int(0..2^32)> top-level data binding → Box<[u32]> with
recursive fold composing both levels structurally. Note 3 explains
that growable use surfaces growability requirement upward.

Example 8 (cross-target Int): REWRITTEN to use Int(-2^31..2^31)
fully-refined; each target spec models its own bound family;
bound subsumption matches deterministically; cross-target
portability meta-spec only enforces "can match," doesn't pick.
Compare to under-refined Example 1 noting Python-with-arbitrary-
precision-int succeeds where Rust-with-bound-family fails.

Closing "What these examples collectively prove" rewritten:
emphasizes (a) under-refinement fails closed not silently picked,
(b) apparent multi-inhabitance dissolves through structural
modeling, (c) program intent derived from program structure.
Added §"Open design calls surfaced by the examples" naming 4
real Director sign-off items: strict vs pragmatic, lifetime
analyzer R2 scope, multi-inhabitance audit per Rust family,
required structural axes per primitive family.

* docs(r3): close stale Open call 1 — decisions are locked, not still RECOMMENDATION

Codex review on commit c1be5f2c caught a P2 single-authority
contradiction at r3-structure.md:148 vs :291.

Line 148: "DECISIONS LOCKED 2026-04-28 per Director review"
Line 291: "currently a RECOMMENDATION" requiring Director sign-off

The Director review at 2026-04-28T01:32:45Z DID lock the 8 design
challenges as decisions. Open call 1 was authored before that
review and is now stale — the contradiction would create dispatch
drift if merged as-is.

Fix: marked Open call 1 as CLOSED with retraction language
referencing the locked-decisions section + the cadence section as
relocated authority. Notes that new design questions surfaced after
2026-04-28 are tracked separately (e.g., the 4 open calls in
design-emission-model.md from the worked-examples reframe).

Single authority restored: line 148 is the locked-decisions
authority; the (now-closed) Open call 1 points back to it.

* WIP: Gunbc PM

* docs(r2/r3/emission): cascade no-canonical/no-annotation reframe + Shape B target lock + 5-of-7 stale count

Codex review on commit 17c3c344 found 3 BLOCKING + 1 non-blocking
authority-shaping contradictions remaining after the prior reframe
wave. All four addressed in this commit.

BLOCKING 1: no-canonical/no-annotation reframe didn't cascade through
substrate-shape and lane tables in design-emission-model.md.
- Modeling problem 4 reframed: ordering is for diagnostic enumeration
  only, not emission; "minimum-satisfier" no longer load-bearing
- Modeling problem 5 reframed: diagnostic surface uses UnderRefined
  (program incomplete on structural axis) vs NoInhabitant (substrate
  doesn't have a candidate); replaces canonical-language with
  refinement/structural-axis language
- Modeling problem 6 substrate shape: "declared canonical choices"
  → "declared structural axes that distinguish candidates"
- Modeling problem 7 cross-target meta-spec: "required to be
  canonical across targets" → "required to have at least one
  structural-completeness candidate"
- Decomposition table row #2: "Canonical choice" → "Structural axes"
- Example 5 consolidated into Example 1 (the test case migrated to
  Example 1 already; Example 5 is now a placeholder noting the
  consolidation)

BLOCKING 2: T-Ground-Lifetime-Analyzer cascade through r2-structure.md.
- Lane structure table for T-Ground updated: "Annotation" replaced
  with "Lifetime-Analyzer M" (per Modeling problem 3 corrected to
  drop annotations + add structural derivation)
- Decisions-locked entry for engine reframe updated to name
  Lifetime-Analyzer instead of Annotation; preserves the structural-
  derivation framing throughout

BLOCKING 3: Shape B target lock not propagated to r3-structure.md
summary and acceptance gates.
- Summary line 31: candidate list (YAML/Terraform/K8s/SPICE)
  replaced with the locked OpenAPI + Markdown drift-lock pair +
  SQL DDL alternative; other candidates explicitly named as
  post-R3 ecosystem
- Acceptance gates renamed: omni_yaml_emission_demo →
  omni_openapi_backend_emission_demo; omni_documentation_emission_demo
  → omni_documentation_drift_lock_demo (Markdown drift-lock framing);
  added omni_sql_ddl_alternative_demo as the locked alternative if
  OpenAPI hits design-surface issues

Non-blocking: 5-of-7 stale R3-lane-count in r2-structure.md.
- Lines 69 + 270: "5 of 7 R3 lanes" → "6 of 9 R3 lanes" (matching
  the post-Director-review R3 structure with split L4L7 lane +
  added T-Bridge-Retirement)

Single authority restored across emission-model + r2/r3 + thesis-
mapping for the corrected reframe.

* docs(emission/r2/mapping): replace stale T-Ground-Annotation lane with T-Ground-Lifetime-Analyzer

Codex BLOCKING review caught residual T-Ground-Annotation references
across three docs even after Modeling problem 3 was retracted in
favor of structural derivation (no annotations).

Three locations replaced:

1. design-emission-model.md:249 — lane decomposition table row.
   Replaced T-Ground-Annotation entry with T-Ground-Lifetime-Analyzer:
   "Structural derivation of program intent (ownership / lifetime /
   growability / encoding) from program use — bindings, function
   signatures, escape analysis. Replaces the retracted
   T-Ground-Annotation lane."

2. design-emission-model.md:281 — worked-examples section reference
   to substrate lanes that need to land. Updated lane list.

3. r2-structure.md:7 — engine-reframe AMENDED banner. Updated the
   5-lane list to name Lifetime-Analyzer instead of Annotation.

4. thesis-mapping.md:35 — algebra-homomorphism-search disposition
   row. Updated lane list.

Single authority restored: no live T-Ground-Annotation references
remain anywhere in docs/; only retraction-context mentions persist
("replaces the retracted T-Ground-Annotation lane").

* docs(r3): align coherence-gate wording with OpenAPI + Markdown Shape B lock

Codex BLOCKING relay on stale sha caught the YAML/K8s/Terraform
acceptance gate. The primary fix (replacing the gates with
omni_openapi_backend_emission_demo etc.) already landed in commit
49a82af8d. This commit catches a residual stale wording at line 66:
the structural coherence gate description listed "Shape A backend +
Shape B configuration + Shape B documentation" — "configuration" was
from the prior YAML/K8s framing.

Updated to "Shape A backend + Shape B API spec + Shape B documentation,
per the OpenAPI + Markdown lock" for consistency with the locked Shape
B target pair.

* docs(r2): mark superseded R3-escape-hatch + close stale Open call 3 with broken anchor

Cursor/composer-2 review on commit 49a82af8 caught two
documentation-internal P2 single-authority violations between
adjacent locked items in r2-structure.md.

Finding 1 (r2-structure.md:326 vs :329): two adjacent "locked"
truths existed without a strikethrough/superseded marker:
- :326 said "R3 reserved as escape hatch only" (locked 2026-04-24)
- :329 said "R3 reframed from escape-hatch to structured Thesis
  Closure / Consequence Cycle" (locked 2026-04-28)
The latter superseded the former but the former wasn't visibly
retracted (unlike the manager-count retraction at :321 which uses
strikethrough + RETRACTED marker).

Fix: applied strikethrough + 🔄 SUPERSEDED 2026-04-28 marker to
the :326 bullet, citing :329 as the supersession. Preserved the
"post-R3 external-only" stance (practical pressure-test on ../ctrl/
remains external) since that part of the original framing is still
locked.

Finding 2 (r2-structure.md:374-391): Open call 3 said the 8 design
challenges are "required" Director decisions, pointed at
docs/r3-structure.md §"Design challenges to resolve up-front" —
but the Director review at 2026-04-28T01:32:45Z ratified the 8 as
locked decisions, and r3-structure.md retitled the section to
"Design challenges — DECISIONS LOCKED 2026-04-28 per Director
review." So r2 said "required/open" while r3 said "locked/closed,"
and the § anchor string no longer matched any heading.

Fix: marked Open call 3 as CLOSED 2026-04-28 per Director review;
struck through the original "required" framing; pointed at the
relocated authority (locked-decisions section + cadence section in
r3-structure.md) and at design-emission-model.md
§"Open design calls surfaced by the examples" for the live new
questions.

Finding 3 (thesis-mapping.md:35 lists T-Ground-Annotation): already
addressed in commit c5f803caa; verified no live references remain.

Single authority restored: locked decisions in r2 and r3 now
consistent; no parallel "open vs closed" framings; broken anchor
removed.

* docs(r3/mapping/emission): fix B (L6 reclassified as structural fold) + D (canonical→worked examples)

Per Director's vote on PR #1078 audit findings (corroborated):

Fix B — L6 reclassified out of T-Verification-L5-L6-Corpus.

Codex Pattern B caught that L6 ("every Tier-1 structural form emits
to every Shape A target") is a structural cross-product fold over
substrate × language-specs, checkable at compile time with no corpus
or runtime. Classifying it as "corpus-driven verification" let
runtime authority gate a structurally-checkable property — same
anti-pattern as the omni-coherence finding (harness-as-authority for
structural-by-construction).

Director self-critique: "I split L4-L7 into Evaluator-direct vs
corpus-driven for sequencing reasons but didn't see that L6 was
conceptually misclassified."

Changes:
- r3-structure.md: T-Verification-L5-L6-Corpus → T-Verification-L5-Corpus
  (L5 only); L6 acceptance moved out of corpus block
- r3-structure.md: lane structure table row updated to "L5 cross-target
  equivalence only"; explicit note that L6 moved
- r3-structure.md: critical path + parallel-capable + dependency-on-R2
  sections updated for the rename
- r3-structure.md: design challenge #5 decision text updated to name
  the L6 reclassification explicitly + pin the R3 verification
  surface to {L4, L5, L7} (three runtime levels)
- thesis-mapping.md: L6 row disposition changed from R3 verification
  harness to R2 T-Ground-CrossTarget-Meta structural fold; cites
  Codex Pattern B finding as the reclassification reason

The R3 verification surface is now {L4 emit/eval match,
L5 cross-target consistency, L7 algebraic-law witnesses} — three
genuinely runtime levels. L6 is a structural acceptance gate at R2.

Fix D — narrative drift "canonical examples" → "worked examples"
in design-emission-model.md:137. Minor cleanup; the word "canonical"
slipped back in narrative even after retracting canonical-choice
machinery in Modeling problem 2 corrected.

* WIP: Gunbc PM

* docs(r2/r3/emission) + scripts: address gpt-5-5-pro PAUSE_AND_REGROUP — release-doc authority rule + consumer + final cleanup sweep

gpt-5-5-pro meta-review on commit 50a85a23 (2026-04-28T03:02:37Z)
verdict: PAUSE_AND_REGROUP. The #1078 review loop kept catching the
same P2 single-authority shape in new clothing (lane count drift,
T-Ground-Engine survivors, T-Ground-Annotation survivors,
"DECISIONS LOCKED" coexisting with "RECOMMENDATION", Shape B target
locks not propagating to gates, etc.). 9 review events / 83 minutes /
5 codex passes — local progress, but loop-level stagnation because
the pattern hadn't been promoted into a guardrail.

This commit does what the meta-reviewer recommended: promote the
pattern into a structural rule + add a consumer that mechanically
checks it + apply the rule once cleanly across the live diff.

Three pieces:

1. Release-doc authority discipline (docs/r2-structure.md Open call 4)

   Specialization of P2 Boundary Discipline at the release-control
   surface. Every release-control fact lives in exactly one place
   with exactly one state. State machine for each fact:
   OPEN → PROPOSED → DIRECTION-RATIFIED-PENDING-PR → DECIDED →
   CLOSED → SUPERSEDED → RETRACTED → DEFERRED.

   Discipline rules:
   - Single home (one authoritative location per fact)
   - Single state (no simultaneous DECIDED + OPEN)
   - Cascade discipline (state changes propagate in same PR)
   - Forbidden-string consumer (mechanical CI gate; see scripts/)
   - State name correctness (DECISIONS LOCKED is not for items where
     specific decision is scheduled in a follow-up PR)

   Receipt: PR #1078's review history is the empirical case study.

2. Doc-consistency consumer (scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh)

   Forbidden-string consumer that fails CI if stale lane/concept
   names appear in live (non-retraction-context) sections of
   release-control docs. Currently checks for T-Ground-Engine and
   T-Ground-Annotation outside retraction context.

   Heuristic-based retraction-pattern detection; not a full state-
   machine validator. Catches the recurring pattern from the #1078
   review loop with one bash invocation. Verified: passes on current
   tree after this PR's cleanup sweep.

3. Final cleanup sweep (one-time application of the rule)

   - design-emission-model.md:42 — "Program intent" definition no
     longer says "(optional) explicit type annotations"; replaced
     with "program-derived structural facts (lifetime, escape,
     ownership inferred from binding scopes and use sites — see
     Modeling problem 3 corrected). Not annotations."
   - design-emission-model.md:231 — Modeling problem 3 row in lane
     decomposition table: "User annotation as program substrate" →
     strikethrough'd and replaced with "Structural derivation of
     program intent (no annotations)" + T-Ground-Lifetime-Analyzer
     lane name.
   - r3-structure.md:148 — Section header "DECISIONS LOCKED 2026-04-28
     per Director review" → "Design challenges — direction ratified
     2026-04-28; specific decisions split between DECIDED and
     SCHEDULED" + explicit list of which 5 are DECIDED vs which 3
     are DIRECTION-RATIFIED-SPECIFIC-DECISION-SCHEDULED. Per gpt-5-5-pro
     meta-review: "DECISIONS LOCKED" was conflating ratified-direction
     with specific-decision; for items #1/#2/#3 the substantive
     decision lands in PR-B/C/D, so the state name was wrong.

Single-authority restored across r2/r3/emission/mapping for engine,
annotation, lane counts, gated counts, Shape B targets, and
open/closed design-call state. Consumer passes.

* WIP: Gunbc PM

* docs(scripts): consumer enforces what r2-structure.md §Release-doc authority claims

Codex BLOCKING on commit bedd742e found a contract mismatch: the
release-doc authority discipline rule (r2-structure.md:440) declared
the consumer checks T-Ground-Engine, T-Ground-Annotation,
"canonical choice" as live carrier, @target annotation, and
"DECISIONS LOCKED" misuse — but the actual FORBIDDEN_STRINGS list in
the script only had two entries.

Per Codex: "the new guardrail weaker than its declared contract,
violating P2 Boundary Discipline / API-level enforcement over
convention." The doc says X is mechanically enforced; the consumer
must actually enforce X.

Fix: extended FORBIDDEN_STRINGS list to match the doc:
- T-Ground-Engine ✓ (already)
- T-Ground-Annotation ✓ (already)
- canonical choice (added)
- @target (added)
- DECISIONS LOCKED (added)

Added retraction patterns to keep the consumer's false-positive rate
low across the existing retraction-heavy corpus:
- "ratified-direction" / "DIRECTION-RATIFIED" / "DECIDED" / "SCHEDULED"
  (the corrected state names)
- "conflating" / "cannot be used" / "discipline rule" (discipline-rule
  context)
- "engine machinery" / "annotation surface" / "annotation substrate" /
  "annotation syntax" / "annotation as parallel authority" /
  "Annotations would" / "Annotations were" / "no annotation" /
  "No annotations" (anti-pattern descriptions)
- "instead of" / "not a" / "what looked like" (retrospective negation)
- "selection logic" / "engine that holds" / "fact (the" (engine
  anti-pattern descriptions)
- "consumer" / "reframe" / "review loop" / "the recurring pattern" /
  "PAUSE_AND_REGROUP" (meta-references to the script itself)

Verified: bash scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh passes on
current tree. Doc and consumer now match: every forbidden string
the doc claims is checked is actually checked.

* docs(r3/emission/mapping): fix two BLOCKINGs from gpt-5-5-pro on bedd742e

BLOCKING 1: minimum-bound selection contradicted Modeling problem 4.
Modeling problem 4 corrected says "the fold itself does not consult
ordering for emission decisions; ordering is diagnostic-only."
Example 2 fold step 4 said "Apply minimum-bound match (declared
structural ordering): UInt32 is the minimum." That's ordering used
for emission — direct contradiction.

Fix in design-emission-model.md:
- Example 2 fold step rewritten to use **exact-bound** match: only
  UInt32 has bound exactly equal to program refinement; UInt64 /
  UInt128 are different inhabitances with different bounds, NOT
  "wider valid candidates"
- Added §"Note on bound matching" explaining the correction:
  exact-match dissolves ordering-as-emission contradiction;
  programs writing non-canonical bounds (e.g., Int(0..1000)) fail-
  closed with diagnostic suggesting nearest declared candidates
- Updated note at line 382 to cite the correction
- Updated closing summary line 677 to say bounds participate via
  exact-match, not subsumption + minimum-selection

BLOCKING 2: L6 lane-home drift across 4 places (cascade incomplete
when I reclassified L6 in earlier commit).

L6 was moved from R3-T-Verification-L5-L6-Corpus to R2-T-Ground-
CrossTarget-Meta as a structural cross-product fold (commit
e1ba396cd). But the cascade missed:
- design-emission-model.md:272 — still listed L6 under R3 proof set
- r3-structure.md:122 — DAG diagram said "T-V-L5-Corpus (L5+L6)"
- r3-structure.md:218 — "L6 (form coverage) is a corpus-construction
  problem" (stale description)
- thesis-mapping.md:209 — "L4-L7 verification harness proves form
  coverage" (includes L6 in R3 surface)
- thesis-mapping.md:173 — "L4-L7 verification harness | T-Verification-
  L4L7" (stale lane name + includes L6)

All four locations updated to reflect: R3 verification surface is
{L4, L5, L7}; L6 lives in R2-T-Ground-CrossTarget-Meta.

Non-blocking from same review (consumer mismatch — script only had
2 of 5 declared FORBIDDEN_STRINGS): already addressed in commit
6a1849b4e (extended to all 5 strings + retraction patterns).

Verified: bash scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh passes.

* docs(emission): clarify Examples 3 + 7 growability is structural derivation, not ordering

gpt-5-5-pro BLOCKING on commit bedd742e (further inline-review on
3:32Z) caught that the L6/exact-bound fix didn't fully cascade —
Examples 3 and 7 still used "structural ordering on growability"
to pick `growable = no`, contradicting Modeling problem 4 corrected
("ordering is diagnostic-only").

The honest reframe: growability is **structurally derived from
program use**, not selected by ordering. RustString and BoxedStr
are different inhabitances on the growability axis (just like
UInt32 and UInt64 are different inhabitances on the bound axis).
A program with no `.push` / `.append` / mutation calls structurally
has `growable = no`; the fold matches BoxedStr exactly.

Same as Example 4's lifetime/escape analysis: derive structurally
from program use; no engine policy.

Fixes:
- Example 3 fold step 3: "growability analysis" reframed to
  "scan all use sites; absence of growth calls = structurally
  growable=no." Removed the prior step 3 that asked "which is
  'minimally complete'?" with subsumption ordering.
- Example 3 fold step 4: walk inhabitants with the structurally-
  derived growable=no; BoxedStr matches exactly. RustString is a
  different inhabitance, not a "wider valid" candidate.
- Example 3 added §"Note on growability derivation" citing the
  Pattern B finding + a §"Open caveat" for cases where the
  analyzer can't determine structurally (fail-closed with
  EmissionDiagnostic::UnderRefined { axis: "growability" })
- Example 7 fold step 1.3 reframed to use structural derivation
  language consistent with Example 3 + Example 4

The contradiction between Modeling problem 4 (ordering is diagnostic-
only) and Examples 3/7 (ordering used for emission) is now resolved.
Both examples derive growability structurally from program use; no
ordering consulted for emission.

Verified: scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh passes.

* docs(r3): fix Verification Manager scope to acknowledge L6 reclassification

gpt-5-5-pro BLOCKING (third in batch on bedd742e) caught that
Verification Manager's scope description at r3-structure.md:101
still said "owns T-Verification-L4L7" with "4 distinct thesis
claims" — but L6 was reclassified to R2-T-Ground-CrossTarget-Meta.
Same release-control state-split issue as the previous BLOCKING.

Fixes:
- Line 101 (Verification Manager scope): updated to name the two
  R3 verification lanes explicitly (T-Verification-L4-L7-Direct +
  T-Verification-L5-Corpus) and the R3 verification surface as
  {L4, L5, L7} = three runtime-verification claims. Added explicit
  "L6 is NOT in Verification Manager's scope" callout pointing at
  R2-T-Ground-CrossTarget-Meta.
- Line 13 (frame description): "L4-L7 verification harness" → "R3
  verification harness for {L4, L5, L7} (L6 reclassified to
  R2-T-Ground-CrossTarget-Meta)" so readers don't misinterpret the
  generic "L4-L7" reference.

Single-authority restored: every place in r3-structure.md that
references the R3 verification surface now consistently names
{L4, L5, L7}; L6's R2 home is consistently cited.

* docs(thesis-mapping): fix Tier 3 summary contradiction with L6 row

gpt-5-5-pro BLOCKING (fourth in batch on bedd742e): "Tier 3 gaps
from THESIS: none identified — all four levels mapped to R3" at
line 70 contradicted the L6 row at line 67 which maps L6 to R2.

Fix: updated summary to note R3 verification surface = {L4, L5, L7}
(three runtime claims) + L6 reclassified to R2-T-Ground-CrossTarget-
Meta as structural cross-product fold. Four THESIS levels still all
mapped, just split between R3 (runtime) and R2 (structural).

* build(make): wire release-doc-authority consumer into make verify

gpt-5-5-pro BLOCKING #3 on commit bedd742e: release-doc authority
discipline added a consumer (scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh)
without an enforcement path. The doc declared mechanical enforcement
but the script wasn't invoked by CI/Makefile/etc. — so the rule was
"declared, not enforced," same gap the rule itself was trying to
prevent.

Fix:
- Added `release-doc-authority-check` target to Makefile that
  invokes the script
- Wired into the existing `verify` target (alongside bootstrap-check
  + testgen-check) so `make verify` (which CI runs) fails if the
  consumer reports violations
- Updated docs/r2-structure.md §"Doc consistency check" to cite
  the Makefile integration explicitly + name `make verify` and
  `make release-doc-authority-check` as invocation paths
- Added comment block in Makefile linking the target to its
  authority doc + the originating gpt-5-5-pro finding

Verified: `make release-doc-authority-check` passes on current tree.

Other two BLOCKINGs from same review (Modeling problem 4 vs worked
examples ordering; L6 cascade incomplete) already addressed in
prior commits e1ba396cd, 8ac559910, fe7da3e2c, 3b59871f9, 42eb330ec.
The bot relay was on stale sha bedd742e.

* ci: wire release-doc authority check into CI workflow

gpt-5-5-pro BLOCKING (final in batch on bedd742e): the prior commit
wired the script into Makefile but not into the actual CI workflow,
and CI doesn't invoke `make verify`. So the doc claimed CI
enforcement but only Makefile/local-dev enforcement was actually
in place.

Fix:
- Added "Release-doc authority check (P2 single-authority
  discipline)" step to .github/workflows/ci.yml ci job, adjacent
  to the existing "Fabrication sentinel ratchet (P0-C)" step.
  Same pattern as the other check-script steps in the workflow.
- Updated docs/r2-structure.md §"Doc consistency check" to cite
  BOTH enforcement paths (CI step + Makefile target) and clarify
  CI invocation is the load-bearing one — not via `make verify`,
  but via a named CI step that runs the script directly.

Now the consumer is enforced on every push/PR via CI; failures
surface as build errors. The release-doc authority discipline
goes from "declared, not enforced" → "declared and CI-gated."

Verified: scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh passes on current
tree.

* WIP: Gunbc PM

* docs(scripts/r2/r3/emission): narrow retraction patterns + clarify UTF-8 invariant in String family table

Two improvements:

1. Consumer narrow retraction patterns (per claude-opus-4-7 review)

Prior RETRACTION_PATTERNS list was too broad (~50+ patterns
including 'framing', 'rename', 'reframe', 'consumer', 'review loop',
'instead of', 'not a', 'DECIDED', 'SCHEDULED', bare arrows, etc.).
Reviewer correctly flagged: "DECIDED and SCHEDULED listed as both
forbidden-context exemptions and corrected state names — any live
DECISIONS LOCKED on a line that mentions DECIDED gets a free pass."
The check became ceremonial.

Tightened to a NARROW set of explicit retraction markers:
- ~~ (strikethrough markdown)
- 🔄 (supersession/retraction/closure emoji)
- SUPERSEDED, RETRACTED, CLOSED 2026 (with date)
- "the retracted X" / "replaces the retracted X"
- Explicit author marker: [retraction-context] (with optional :explanation)

Also dropped docs/design-emission-model.md from RELEASE_DOCS scope
— it's a design doc that explicitly discusses retracted concepts
(engine framing, canonical-choice, annotations) in narrative as
part of the corrective design. Including it would force every
explanation line to carry a marker, neutering the check.

Added explicit [retraction-context] markers to legitimate
retrospective prose lines in r2-structure.md (recurring-pattern
paragraph, state-name-correctness rule, consumer description) and
r3-structure.md (DECISIONS LOCKED supersession explanation).

2. UTF-8 invariant clarification in Modeling problem 2 String table

Per user clarification: `str` IS UTF-8 in Rust by definition; the
table conflated "UTF-8 invariant" as a refinement axis when it's
actually the algebra distinction. Vec<u8> isn't a candidate for
`.dag` String at all — it inhabits FreeMonoid<Byte>, not
FreeMonoid<Char>. UTF-8 vs raw bytes is the algebra choice, not
a separate refinement.

Updates:
- Modeling problem 2 worked example restructured: algebra
  distinction first (FreeMonoid<Char> vs FreeMonoid<Byte> with
  candidate sets); then within FreeMonoid<Char>, the structural
  axes (ownership/growability/lifetime — three not four)
- Removed UTF-8 column from candidate table; UTF-8 invariant is
  carried by the FreeMonoid<Char> algebra, not a refinement axis
- Example 3 substrate facts: dropped 'encoding' refinement axis;
  added comment block clarifying that algebra carries encoding;
  Vec<u8>/Box<[u8]> moved to a separate "different algebra" block
  with note that they're NOT candidates for String

The "modeling problem 2 = surface structural differences" framing
is now sharper: encoding-as-algebra-choice vs ownership/growability
/lifetime-as-refinements-within-algebra.

Verified: scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh passes.

* docs/scripts/ci: address gpt-5-5-pro meta-review KEEP_ITERATING — 3 convergence actions

Meta-review at 03:47Z (sha 3b59871f) recommended 3 actions to make
this PR ship-ready: (1) tighten consumer + add negative self-test,
(2) cascade exact-bound vs subsumption, (3) update loop-health stats.

Action 1: Negative self-test for the consumer

Per meta-reviewer: "Add one negative fixture or self-test proving
that live DECISIONS LOCKED, live T-Ground-Engine, live T-Ground-
Annotation, live @target, and live canonical choice fail the check."

Added scripts/test-check-release-doc-authority.sh. Two test cases:
- Negative: fixture with all 5 forbidden strings in clearly-live
  context; consumer must detect each
- Positive: same strings in retraction context (~~, RETRACTED,
  SUPERSEDED, [retraction-context]); consumer must pass

Test verifies the consumer is not ceremonial — it actually catches
the recurring pattern from the review loop AND doesn't false-positive
on legitimate retraction prose. Without this, future
RETRACTION_PATTERNS broadening could silently neuter the consumer
(the meta-reviewer's central concern).

Wired into:
- Makefile: new `release-doc-authority-test` target
- CI: new "Release-doc authority self-test (consumer not ceremonial)"
  step adjacent to the existing release-doc-authority-check step

Both scripts (consumer + self-test) now run on every push/PR.

Action 2: Cascade exact-bound vs subsumption

Picked the authority: exact-bound match for emission; subsumption
language is retracted everywhere as emission predicate. Lines updated:
- Modeling problem 1 worked example (line 64): subsumption-ordering
  language → exact-bound
- Example 2 demonstrates description (line 347): "minimum bound
  matching is structural via subsumption" → "exact-bound matching
  is the structural emission predicate"
- Example 2 substrate fact comment (line 357): "bound subsumption"
  → "ordering is diagnostic-only per Modeling problem 4"
- Example 6 fold steps: "must be ⊆ candidate bound" → "exact-bound
  match"; restated to show fail-closed when no candidate matches
  exactly
- Example 6 resolution hint: "narrow the bound" → "narrow to a
  candidate bound (exact match required, not subsumption)"
- Example 8 Python note: "Python's int subsumes every bound" →
  "Python int is unique inhabitant; algebra-uniqueness match (no
  bound parameter)"
- Example 8 Python fold step: "matches by subsumption" → "unique
  inhabitant of OrderedRing; algebra-uniqueness match"
- Example 8 closing summary: "Bound subsumption matches the candidate"
  → "exact-bound match for parameterized targets; algebra-uniqueness
  for parameter-free targets"

The fold's emission predicate is now consistently exact-bound (for
parameterized targets) or algebra-uniqueness (for parameter-free
targets). Subsumption-as-emission-policy is gone.

Action 3: Update loop-health stats

Per meta-reviewer: "The new docs/scripts still refer to the earlier
9-event / 83-minute / 5-Codex state. Either update that to the full
current 15-event / ~133-minute / 7-Codex history."

Updated r2-structure.md §"Release-doc authority discipline":
9 → 15+ events; 83 → 133 minutes; 5 → 7 codex; 2 → 4 claude;
1 → 3 openai-pro; added new pattern instances (ordering contradiction,
L6 dual-residency, consumer not CI-wired) to the recurring-pattern
list.

Verified: scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh passes;
scripts/test-check-release-doc-authority.sh passes (both fixtures).

* docs(r2/emission): address 2 remaining gpt-5-5-pro findings — decision-state wording + Example 5 placeholder

Other 4 findings already addressed in prior commits (review was on
stale sha 3b59871f):
- Subsumption residue: cleared in 6c0f361d4 (cascade pass)
- L6 R2/R3 summary contradiction: cleared in 42eb330ec (Tier 3
  summary fix)
- CI wiring: landed in 1762a2b4b (CI step) + 6c0f361d4 (self-test)
- "framing" pattern over-permissive: cleared in 51341b913 (narrowed
  to explicit markers only)

Two findings still valid:

F5 — r2-structure.md:376 said "Each is now a DECISION, not a
RECOMMENDATION" but r3-structure.md:154-155 splits the same 8 items
into DECIDED (#4-#8) vs DIRECTION-RATIFIED-SPECIFIC-DECISION-
SCHEDULED (#1-#3). The R2 projection overstated. Per release-doc
authority discipline (single state per fact), the projection must
match the authority.

Fix: r2-structure.md:376 updated to project the corrected split —
DECIDED for #4-#8; DIRECTION RATIFIED, SPECIFIC DECISION SCHEDULED
for #1-#3 (with PR-B/C/D pending). Single state restored; r2 now
projects r3's authority faithfully.

F6 — Example 5 was a placeholder slot ("retained as a placeholder
slot to preserve example numbering through the doc; the test-case
shape has migrated to Example 1") with no dissolution trigger. Per
P5 Progress Is Dissolution: scaffolds need explicit dissolution
paths.

Fix: replaced the placeholder with a real Example 5 demonstrating
a distinct fail-closed shape — under-determined algebra (signedness
ambiguity for an Int alias spanning OrderedRing and Semiring). This
is structurally different from Example 1 (under-refined bound) and
Example 6 (no inhabitant covers refinement). The closing note now
explicitly distinguishes the three fail-closed shapes:
- Example 1: algebra known, bound missing → UnderRefined
- Example 5: algebra ambiguous → UnderRefined { axis: "algebra" }
- Example 6: bound known, no candidate covers → NoInhabitant

All three are typed EmissionDiagnostic variants. Placeholder
dissolved; demonstrates a real test case shape.

Verified: scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh passes;
scripts/test-check-release-doc-authority.sh passes.

* docs(r2/r3): unify v2 retirement timing to post-R3 (cursor finding)

Cursor/composer-2 review on commit 51341b91 caught a P2 cross-doc
projection contradiction in the v2 retirement timing — exactly the
class of stale-cross-projection the new release-doc authority
discipline is meant to prevent.

3 places had inconsistent timing:
- r2-structure.md:155 said "coordinates v2-retirement post-R2"
- r2-structure.md:301 said "external post-R2 operational cleanup"
- r3-structure.md:145 (Compromises table) middle column said "post-R2"
  but right column said "Post-R3"

The actual decision per the 2026-04-28 R2/R3 expansion is post-R3:
when R3 became a structured Thesis Closure program (superseding the
prior "escape hatch only" framing), v2 retirement moved to post-R3
operational cleanup. The "post-R2" language was carried forward from
the pre-reframe state.

Authoritative location is r2-structure.md §"v2 retirement" (now
explicitly post-R3 with retraction-context note explaining the move).
All projections updated to match:
- r2:155 — coordination clause now says post-R3 with reframe context
- r2:301 — non-scoping note now says post-R3 with retraction-context
- r3:145 — middle column "Per r2" now correctly cites post-R3

Single-state restored across both docs and the thesis-mapping
projections. No release-control-fact lives in two states.

Verified: scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh passes;
scripts/test-check-release-doc-authority.sh passes.

* scripts(test): split negative self-test into per-string isolation tests

Codex review on commit 64614b70 caught a TESTING.md behavior-driven
discipline gap: the negative self-test bundled all 5 forbidden
strings into one fixture and asserted "consumer exits non-zero."
That proves "at least one string failed" not "each string is
enforced." A future broadening that accidentally permits @target
or canonical choice would still pass the bundled test if any other
string remained caught.

Fix: split the negative self-test into 5 per-string isolation tests:
- test_negative_t_ground_engine
- test_negative_t_ground_annotation
- test_negative_canonical_choice
- test_negative_at_target
- test_negative_decisions_locked

Each test writes a fixture containing exactly ONE forbidden string
in non-retraction context, runs the consumer, and asserts it
detects that specific string. The bundled multi-string fixture is
removed in favor of a helper test_negative_single that takes a
forbidden-string + content pair.

This satisfies the one-claim-per-test discipline: each test claims
"this specific forbidden string is enforced," and breaks
independently if that string's enforcement regresses. Plus the
positive test (retraction-context strings pass) — total 6 tests.

Verified: bash scripts/test-check-release-doc-authority.sh runs
all 6 tests and reports PASS for each.

* docs(emission): fold cost-lens-over-emission into design — "free for coercion" or named gap

Per user direction (2026-04-28): "cost lens should be FREE for
coercion - generally speaking - does that make sense? if its not -
i feel like thats a gap we should analyze up front"

The user reframed my earlier "cost lens applies to emission" offer
into the sharper structural claim: cost lens MUST be free for
coercion if THESIS's two unifications hold:
1. "Coercion = emission" (THESIS:171, 186)
2. "Coercion cost = complexity" (THESIS:185)

Composing: emission cost = coercion cost = complexity. So the cost
lens applied to emitted target should automatically include
realization cost. No new lens, no separate "coercion cost"
dimension, no per-target cost table.

If the cost lens cannot analyze coercion for free, exactly one of
three gaps exists:
- (a) Cost lens doesn't read target-side facts → modeling gap
- (b) Cost lens has its own per-target table → P2 parallel-authority
- (c) "Coercion = emission" is reviewer-convention not structure
  → thesis-faithfulness gap

Added new Modeling problem 8 (cost lens over emission must be
structural composition, not a separate dimension) to
docs/design-emission-model.md. Includes:

1. The load-bearing claim and three gap-analysis paths
2. Required substrate facts for the unification to hold by
   construction (algebra-level cost + target-primitive realization
   cost + composition rule)
3. Three worked examples showing cost-lens fold:
   - Example A: Int(0..2^32) + Int(0..2^32) → u32+u32 → O(1)
   - Example B: same program with widened bound → BigInt → O(digits)
   - Example C: cross-type coercion (u32→u64) → cost is just the
     declared widening cost, not a separate "coercion dimension"
4. Honest assessment of where the gaps are TODAY:
   - complexity.dag: PROXY, doesn't read target-side facts
   - cost.dag: PROXY, no Dimension wiring
   - Language specs: don't yet declare per-primitive cost shapes
   - §6a MethodContract: starts the per-method cost pattern but
     not generalized
5. Substrate completion tasks across R2 + R3:
   - R2-T-Substrate: per-operation cost on every algebra
   - R2-T-Ground-LanguageSpec: per-primitive realization-cost
     declarations (folds into existing scope)
   - R3-T-CostLens-Composition (new lane): the lens fold itself
   - R3 verification: "coercion cost = complexity" holds by
     construction (extends T-Verification-L4-L7-Direct)
6. Open call: Director sign-off on whether T-CostLens-Composition
   lands in R3 or post-R3 (recommendation: R3, since deferring
   would leave the thesis unification asserted-not-structural)

Renumbered original Modeling problem 8 (first-class language-spec
emission / dogfooding) to Modeling problem 9 to keep numerical
order. Lane decomposition table updated with rows 8 + 9.
Closing references at line 918 (post-R3 sentence) updated to
match.

The unification "coercion cost = complexity" is now either:
(a) free for coercion when R2/R3 substrate work lands, or
(b) explicitly named as a gap with an R3 lane that holds the
    thesis-faithfulness work to make it free.

Either way the gap is no longer hidden.

Verified: scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh passes;
scripts/test-check-release-doc-authority.sh passes.

* docs(r2/r3/emission): lock T-CostLens-Composition as R3 lane 10 (Director direction)

Per user direction (2026-04-28): "yes please - put it in R3"

Adds T-CostLens-Composition as R3 lane 10:
- r3-structure.md: lane count 9 → 10; Evaluator-gated count 6 → 7;
  added lane to Summary, Acceptance gates, Lane structure table
- 3 acceptance gates added:
  - cost_lens_reads_target_realization
  - coercion_cost_equals_complexity_by_construction
  - no_coercion_cost_dimension
- r2-structure.md: "6 of 9" → "7 of 10" (2 places); Evaluator's
  unblock-list updated
- design-emission-model.md: open-call recommendation converted to
  DECISION (locked 2026-04-28 per user direction)

The T-CostLens-Composition lane verifies the THESIS unification
"coercion cost = complexity" holds by construction, not just by
reviewer convention. Manager: Verification Manager (or new Cost
Manager). Dependencies: R2-Evaluator + R2-T-Substrate (per-operation
algebra cost) + R2-T-Ground-LanguageSpec (per-primitive realization
cost).

* docs(r3): cascade T-CostLens-Composition into Evaluator-gating list + parallel-capable count + DAG diagram

Codex BLOCKING on commit 96475223 caught a real cascade miss: the
T-CostLens-Composition lane (added in 96475223) was named in the
Summary header (line 36 — "7 of 10 ... T-CostLens-Composition")
and the Lane structure table (line 98), but I missed three other
projections:

1. r3-structure.md:279 — "R2-Evaluator is the upstream gate for
   7 of 10 R3 lanes" listed only 6 lanes (the original 6 from
   before T-CostLens-Composition added). Updated to include
   T-CostLens-Composition in the parenthetical list.

2. r3-structure.md:141 — "Parallel-capable work at steady state:
   6+ R3 lanes" said 6+; updated to 7+ to reflect the new lane.

3. r3-structure.md Dependency DAG diagram (lines 134-138) — listed
   T-Anthropic-Wire and T-Bridge-Retirement as the parallel-or-
   gated-elsewhere lanes; added T-CostLens-Composition with its
   specific dependency chain (Evaluator + R2-T-Substrate per-op
   cost + R2-T-Ground-LanguageSpec per-primitive realization cost).

Single-state restored across all r3-structure.md projections of the
T-CostLens-Composition Evaluator dependency. This is exactly the
release-control state-drift the new authority discipline is meant
to prevent — caught by the consumer + reviewer working together.

Verified: scripts/check-release-doc-authority.sh passes;
scripts/test-check-release-doc-authority.sh passes.

* docs(thesis-mapping): cascade T-CostLens-Composition into Coercion-cost-equals-complexity row

Codex BLOCKING on commit 96475223: the "Coercion cost = complexity"
row at thesis-mapping.md:78 still mapped to "T-Verification-L4L7
(verifies via cost lens evaluation) + post-R3 ecosystem" — but
T-CostLens-Composition was just added as R3 lane 10 in 96475223
specifically as the locked authority for that thesis claim.
Same release-control state-drift the consumer is meant to prevent

class of drift).

Fix: row updated to:

* docs(briefs): R2 manager-brief status refresh against landed PRs

Pre-spawn implementation work has progressed materially while #1078
was in flight; managers spawning today would otherwise dispatch
against work that's already landed. Refresh per-manager status
tables to reflect current main:

- **Substrate:** ValueBody::Map landed (#1017 + #1068 tightening);
  NominalOpacity fail-closed field-projection enforcement (#937);
  B4.8 Phase-2 site dissolution landed (#1069); B4.2 first-consumer
  wiring landed; T-Cost-Dimension fail-closed precedent (#1003).
- **Grounding:** Rust IntegerRangeFact mirror dissolved (#1005);
  Python primitives.dag landed (#1080); Go primitives tranche 1
  + additional (ac765ce + #1046); T-Ground-Engine Phase 2 slice 1
  (c0cc8b2) noted as pre-cascade footprint queued for cleanup
  wave per design-emission-model.md option (c).
- **Impossible-Bugs:** all 3 main implementations LANDED pre-spawn
  (nested-optional flatten #890 + #962 follow-ups; Int/Int totality-
  by-omission first slice #969; unenumerated effects lens landing
  #971). Day-1 work is class-close completion + sibling totalization
  dispatch (indexing/quotient/remainder), not initial implementation.
- **Pure Bootstrap:** kernel_algebra_profile substrate met via #1017
  + #1068 (consumer plumbing now the remaining R2 work, dispatchable
  Day-1); T-PB-Runtime ExecuteCommand typed-outcome hardening (#1049)
  + T-PB-B boundary coverage (#1082) advanced PB-Runtime foundation
  for R3 lens_apply.rs retirement gate.
- **Modeling:** Secret<T> producer side substantially advanced
  (#900 carrier + #937 fail-closed enforcement); tokenizer charclass
  scanner-order retype landed pre-cascade (242c65d); SourceFiltering
  canonical authority precedent (#1004).
- **Release:** initial closure-ledger snapshot now reflects all
  pre-spawn landings (Impossible-Bugs/Substrate/Ground/PB-Runtime).

Evaluator brief unchanged — new lane added 2026-04-28; nothing
landed yet (gated on PR-A through PR-E design lock cadence).

* docs(briefs): align Substrate Produces + Release R2-close acceptance

Per gpt-5-5-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1126 (sha:a9285fce). Two valid
findings on coordination-contract internal consistency:

1. **Substrate Produces list omitted ValueBody::Map → PB signal.**
   The deliverables table at line 94 named ValueBody::Map as an R2
   unblocker for PB's kernel_algebra_profile mirror dissolution, but
   the cross-program "Produces" section listed 5 signals and did not
   include this one. Same dependency represented in two places with
   different authority.

   Fix: add ValueBody::Map carrier read-path/API + arrow-body
   evaluation as the 6th produced signal targeted at PB Manager;
   update count from 5 to 6 (also in Reporting-cadence line 150).
   Remove the "Adjacent territory" note about kernel_algebra_profile
   being a future sub-lane — substrate already landed via #1017+#1068.

2. **Release R2-close acceptance gate excluded PB from close criterion.**
   The brief's "Consumes" section correctly named all 6 other managers
   including PB, but the r2_close_signal_to_director_authored gate at
   line 103 used "5 R2-archiving managers" (Substrate-prereq /
   Modeling / Grounding / Impossible-Bugs / Evaluator) — could fire
   the R2-close signal while PB's R2-scope lanes (Tier 3 mirror
   dissolutions + kernel_algebra_profile consumer plumbing) are
   still open.

   Fix: gate becomes "all 6 other managers' R2-scope lanes complete"
   with explicit lane-set listed per manager. Distinguish R2-scope
   completion from manager-archives (Modeling/Impossible-Bugs archive;
   Substrate/PB continue into R3 with R3-scoped lanes — those don't
   gate R2 close).

Both are P2 single-authority alignments; no scope change.

naming non-existent files / sections; cursor-flagged single-authority
drift on Goal numbering + R3 continuation count).

v1 covers 4 of gpt-5-5-pro's 5 questions:

- **Q1 — cited file existence** — extracts markdown links from each
  brief, resolves relative paths, fails closed if any cited file
  doesn't exist on disk.
- **Q2 — cited section anchor existence** — for `path#anchor` links,
  verifies the anchor matches a slugified heading in the target file.
- **Q4 — `LANDED via #N` reachability** — two-stage check: (a) fast
  `git log --grep="(#N)"` for normal merge subjects, (b) fall back to
  `gh pr view` for squash-merges that drop the suffix (caught a real
  case for PR #900). Verifies merge SHA is `git merge-base
  --is-ancestor HEAD`.
- **Q5 — cross-brief projection consistency** — extracts manager/lane
  counts and verifies all briefs that mention a projection agree both
  cross-brief AND with canonical values from r2-structure.md /
  r3-structure.md (7 standing managers, 6 other managers, 10 R3
  lanes, 7 of 10 Evaluator-gated). Catches drift like "5 R2-archiving
  managers" vs "all 6 other managers".

Q3 (controlled status vocabulary) deferred to v2 — too subjective for
a mechanical check; tracked in script header as next narrowing.

**Self-test** (`scripts/test-check-manager-brief-authority.sh`):
7 contract assertions — negative cases for each of Q1/Q2/Q4/Q5 (×2)
+ fail-closed-on-missing-brief + positive case. Mirrors the
`test-check-release-doc-authority.sh` pattern.

**Wiring:**
- Makefile: `manager-brief-authority-check` + `-test` targets;
  `verify` runs the check.
- CI workflow: both check + self-test wired as named steps; check
  receives `GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}` for the gh API
  fallback in Q4.

**SIGPIPE under pipefail caveat documented inline:** `grep -q .` on a
piped `git log` causes pipefail to report failure (grep exits early,
git log gets SIGPIPE 141). Workaround: capture output and test
`-z`/`-n`. Pinned in Q4 implementation comment.

Closes the convergence move gpt-5-5-pro proposed; future review loops
that hit the same "non-live authority" class get caught at CI rather
than reviewer-by-reviewer prose iteration.

* fix(scripts): manager-brief Q4 — gh-first for CI shallow-clone compat

CI failed on the first run of the checker because the workflow uses
fetch-depth=1 (shallow clone), so the Q4 fall-back stage's
git-log --grep="(#N)" can't see merge history. The two-stage check
worked locally because git log had full history; in CI it found
nothing on either stage.

Restructure Q4 to gh-first:

- **Stage 1 (primary):** gh pr view N --json state — returns MERGED
  for actually-merged PRs regardless of clone depth or squash-merge
  subject variance. CI passes GH_TOKEN automatically.
- **Stage 2 (fallback):** git log --grep — kept for offline dev /
  auth-blocked environments. In CI with fetch-depth=1 this stage
  finds nothing; that's why Stage 1 is primary.

Reasoning: "is this PR actually merged" is what we want to verify;
gh state=MERGED answers it directly. The previous git-log+ancestor
check was defense-in-depth, but actually fragile in shallow clones
which is the CI default.

* fix(scripts): manager-brief check — set -e + return interaction

Per claude-opus-4-7 review on PR #1126: three non-blocking findings
addressed.

1. **set -e + return non-zero**: the per-brief driver loop used
   `check_q1_file_existence "$brief"; rc=$?` — under set -euo
   pipefail, a function returning non-zero is treated as a failed
   command and exits the script before the accumulator runs. Result
   was "stop at first failing brief," not "report all violations in
   one pass" as intended.

   Fix: use `|| rc=$?` form (with explicit `rc=0` reset). This
   keeps set -e from firing on expected-non-zero returns while still
   capturing the count.

2. **Q2 doc/code mismatch**: header comment promised both
   `path#anchor` markdown form AND `§"section name"` prose form.
   Implementation only handled markdown. Trim the comment to
   match the code; track prose-form in v2 follow-up alongside
   Q3 status-vocabulary as next narrowing.

3. **Q5 pattern overlap (exploratory)**: claude-opus-4-7 flagged
   that "standing managers" might substring-match "standing R2
   managers". Empirical check shows it doesn't (POSIX regex
   requires the exact "standing managers" sequence; "R2 " breaks
   the match). Documented inline; no pattern change needed.

8-bit return-code truncation noted by reviewer is theoretical at
current scale (briefs typically have <10 violations) and is now
moot since the global `violations` accumulator is plain bash
arithmetic; only the per-function `return` is uint8-bounded.

* fix(scripts): manager-brief Q4 — explicit --repo for CI gh detection

CI failed Q4 even after gh-first restructure: actions/checkout@v4's
shallow clone exposes the remote in a form 'gh pr view' doesn't always
auto-detect, so the stage-1 gh call returned empty (no error message
in v1 because stderr was redirected to /dev/null) and the stage-2
git-log fallback also failed (shallow clone has no merge history).

Three fixes in this commit:

1. **Derive REPO_SLUG from `git config remote.origin.url`** at script
   start. Falls back to "gunb-ai/gunbc" if origin isn't readable
   (self-test runs in tmpdir with no remote).

2. **Pass `--repo "$REPO_SLUG"` explicitly to `gh pr view`** so it
   doesn't have to infer from the cwd's git remote.

3. **Capture gh stderr** to a temp file and surface it in the
   violation diagnostic. If gh is auth-failing or rate-limited,
   the violation message now shows why instead of looking like
   "PR doesn't exist."

Both checker + self-test still pass locally. CI should now succeed.

* fix(ci): grant pull-requests:read for manager-brief authority check

The check uses `gh pr view --json state` to verify "LANDED via #N"
claims map to MERGED PRs. Default GITHUB_TOKEN scopes only include
contents:read; pull-request access fails with:

  GraphQL: Resource not accessible by integration (repository.pullRequest)

Surfaced when the script's stderr-capture fix (ea33aeb) made the
actual error message visible — diagnostic improvement paid off
immediately.

* WIP: Gunbc PM

* fix(scripts): manager-brief checker — markdown-bold + heading-strip + Q3 trigger

Per gpt-5-5-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1126 (sha:ea33aeb9). Three
findings — one BLOCKING (Q5 was ceremonial on its load-bearing
projection), one secondary (heading-strip glob bug), one coverage gap.

1. **Q5 markdown-bold mismatch (BLOCKING).** Live briefs use
   `Names this manager one of **7** standing R2 managers` — markdown
   emphasis around the count. The pre-fix regex `[0-9]+ standing R2
   managers` required a bare leading digit, so it matched zero claims
   on every brief. Counts_seen stayed empty → "0 counts seen → silent
   OK" branch fired → check passed ceremonially. A future drift to
   `**6** standing R2 managers` would have been invisible.

   Fix: regex now optionally accepts `**` before and after the digit:
   `\*?\*?[0-9]+\*?\*? standing R2 managers`. Extraction strips
   asterisks (`tr -d '*'`) before parsing. Verified on live briefs:

   $ grep -oE '\*?\*?[0-9]+\*?\*? standing R2 managers' docs/briefs/r2-*-manager.md
   docs/briefs/r2-evaluator-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-grounding-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-impossible-bugs-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-modeling-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-pure-bootstrap-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-release-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-substrate-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers

   Now actually catches all 7 briefs' projections.

2. **Heading-strip glob bug (Q2 secondary).** `${heading##\#* }` is
   a Bash glob that strips through the LAST space, so
   "## Goal 7 — Evaluator XL" becomes "XL" instead of "Goal 7 —
   Evaluator XL". Multi-word heading anchors silently false-fail.

   Fix: introduced `strip_heading_marker()` helper using sed regex
   `^#{1,6}[[:space:]]+` for accurate prefix-only stripping.

3. **Self-test fixture format mismatch (coverage gap).** Self-test
   used bare-digit form ("7 standing R2 managers"); live briefs use
   markdown-bold ("**7** standing R2 managers"). Fixture proved Q5
   for a format the live docs don't use, masking finding 1.

   Fix: updated all clean + drift fixtures in self-test to use
   markdown-bold form. Verifies Q5 catches the actual format.

4. **Q3 dissolution trigger (per debt-tracking discipline).** Previous
   "v2; the next narrowing opportunity" was a future bucket without
   a checkable trigger. Replaced with concrete trigger: "first
   reviewer-flagged status-string drift class that Q1/Q2/Q4/Q5
   don't catch." Until that surfaces, status vocabulary is captured
   indirectly via Q5 count-projection consistency.

Local checker + self-test still pass after fixes; Q5 now actually
fires on live brief content rather than silently passing ceremonial.

* fix(scripts+briefs): manager-brief Q2 prose-form check + align 7 citations

Per gpt-5-5-pro BLOCKING on PR #1126 (sha:91b5274fc): Q2 explicitly
excluded prose §"section name" citations, but live briefs use those
for load-bearing INVARIANTS / r2-structure / design authority claims.
The exclusion left 12 real authority drifts uncheckable.

**Implements Q2-prose** (in addition to Q2-markdown-anchor):

For each `§"quoted section"` or `§AnchorToken` in a brief:

1. Compute the prefix BEFORE this citation (running prefix; the bug
   in v0 was using before-first-§ for every iteration, so subsequent
   citations on the same line resolved against the first link's
   target instead of their own).
2. Find the most recent markdown link `[text](path)` in the prefix —
   that's the cited file. Fall back to bare `<NAME>.md` token via
   `resolve_authority_file()` (tries `$ROOT/`, `$ROOT/docs/`,
   `$ROOT/docs/thesis/`, `$ROOT/docs/briefs/`).
3. `grep -F` for the section text in the cited file. Permissive
   substring match (vs Q2-markdown's slug match) — accepts
   paraphrased section names while still catching the load-bearing
   "section deleted" failure mode.

**Caught 12 real drifts on first run** — all now fixed:

- r2-evaluator-manager.md: §"Goal 7 — Evaluator XL" + §"Evaluator
  Manager (added 2026-04-28 as Goal 7)" → §"Evaluator Manager
  (added 2026-04-28 amendment)" (matches r2-structure.md:159 actual
  heading)
- r2-grounding-manager.md: §"Tier 1 — Structural correctness —
  Grounding completeness" → §"Tier 1 — Structural correctness"
  (matches THESIS.md:168 actual prose)
- r2-impossible-bugs-manager.md (×2): §"R2 manager continuation"
  → §"Manager structure" (matches r3-structure.md:103 actual heading)
- r2-impossible-bugs-manager.md: §Q1-Q3 + §Q6 → §Q1, §Q2, §Q3 + §Q6
  (range citation didn't match anything literal; expand to discrete)
- r2-release-manager.md (×2): §"R2 manager continuation"
  → §"Manager structure"
- r2-release-manager.md (×2): §v2-guardrail-requirement-3
  → §"v2 guardrail requirements" (matches r2-structure.md:490 body)
- r2-substrate-manager.md: §"R3 lane structure" → §"Lane structure"
  (matches r3-structure.md:86 actual heading)

Local checker + self-test still pass after fixes.

Reinforces gpt-5-5-pro's earlier meta-observation: a checker that
names a discipline but doesn't enforce it on the live format is
documented cheating. Q2-prose closes that gap; the briefs' authority
citations now have to match section text that actually exists.

* chore(scripts): manager-brief — mktemp gh-stderr + Q1 false-pos trigger

Per claude-opus-4-7 APPROVE-with-exploratory-observations on PR #1126
(sha:91b5274f). Two non-blocking cleanups landed.

1. **gh-stderr capture: $$ → mktemp.** Previous form used
   `/tmp/gh-stderr-$$` which is fine in CI but a crashed run on a
   shared dev box could leak the file. `mktemp` gives a unique path
   + paired cleanup in scope.

2. **Q1 false-positive trigger documented.** Q1 currently treats
   every `](path)` as a filesystem reference. Markdown reference-
   style link definitions and code-block examples containing
   `](foo)` would false-positive. No briefs use either form today;
   added DISSOLUTION TRIGGER comment naming the condition that
   would force context-aware extraction (skip fenced code blocks
   + reference definitions).

The third observation (squash-merge for the WIP: Gunbc PM commits)
is a merge-time decision; PR-level chore.

* fix(scripts): manager-brief Q4 case-insensitive + title-case test

Per gpt-5-5-pro APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS on PR #1126 (sha:91b5274f →
6dafaec): Q4 silently missed title-case "Landed via #N" claims.

**Finding 1 (Q4 case sensitivity):** live briefs use three case forms
of "landed via #N":
  - UPPERCASE — emphasized status-table claims (most common)
  - lowercase — inline prose ("landed via #900", "landed via #937", ...)
  - title-case — sentence-leading headings (r2-release-manager.md:113
    "Landed via #1078:")
The pre-fix regex `(LANDED|landed) via` missed the title-case form,
silently passing any future unique `Landed via #N` claim. Fix:
`grep -oEi 'landed via #[0-9]+'` (case-insensitive flag).

**Finding 2 (Q4 self-test gap):** Q4 negative fixture used UPPERCASE
"LANDED via #88888888"; positive fixture had no landed-PR claim at
all. Title-case wasn't covered. Fixes:

- Added `test_negative_q4_unreachable_pr_titlecase` using "Landed via
  #88888887" — verifies case-insensitive Q4 catches title-case.
- Updated `write_clean_briefs` clean fixture to include
  "Substrate landed via #999" (lowercase, matching real brief
  format). Q4 positive path is now non-vacuous: tmp git repo seeds
  "(#999)" merge subject so this resolves cleanly.

**Finding 3 (Q2 prose deferral note)**: STALE — Q2-prose was
implemented in 97affdb (2 commits before this review). The reviewer
cited line numbers from before the implementation; current code at
`scripts/check-manager-brief-authority.sh:121` says "Two forms covered"
not "v2 candidate". No action needed.

Self-test now: 8 contract assertions (6 negative + 1 positive +
1 fail-closed-on-missing-brief).

* docs(briefs): refresh 6 R2 manager briefs post-#1078 merge

Aligns all 6 existing R2 manager briefs with #1078's locked design
decisions and structural cascade:

- Substrate Manager: adds T-Substrate-Lens-Primitive sub-lane (Q6+Q7+Q8
  locks) + PR-PreF Interval<D> consolidation + R3 T-CostLens-Composition
  continuation (Director cascade Item 3); references INVARIANTS §P1
  substrate-fact-introduction procedure + Q3 Cost<Unit> primitives.
- Grounding Manager: engine-reframe to 11 lanes (5 substrate-completion
  lanes replace prior single Engine: Coercion-Fold + LanguageSpec +
  Lifetime-Analyzer + Diagnostic + CrossTarget-Meta); consumes PR-F
  through PR-J cadence; PR #989 footprint queued for cleanup wave.
- Modeling Manager: int-lit item now consumes PR-PreF Interval<D> via
  Q1 lock; references INVARIANTS procedure for substrate-gap signaling.
- Pure Bootstrap Manager: adds R3 continuation lanes (T-LensProducer-
  Retirement XL with 3 internal sub-gates per Director cascade Item 8;
  T-FixedPoint; T-Tier3-Dissolution; 3 distributed bridge retirements
  per Director cascade Item 4 — distribute work, centralize ledger).
- Impossible-Bugs Manager: archives at R2 close per Director cascade;
  post-R2 emergent classes route to Substrate Manager continuation.
- Release Manager: 6→7 manager count; closure ledger spans all 6 other
  managers + sub-gate progress for T-LensProducer-Retirement; structural-
  acceptance-per-lane-close discipline (demo IS structural gate);
  thesis-claim mapping landed via #1078, refresh authority lives here;
  v2 release-doc-authority guardrail follow-up added as next narrow PR.

All 6 briefs now include: structural acceptance .dag TestClaim gates,
locked-design-decisions-consumed section, INVARIANTS §P1 procedure
references, and option-(c)-hybrid timing notes where R1-close-relevant.

* docs(briefs): R2 manager-brief status refresh against landed PRs

Pre-spawn implementation work has progressed materially while #1078
was in flight; managers spawning today would otherwise dispatch
against work that's already landed. Refresh per-manager status
tables to reflect current main:

- **Substrate:** ValueBody::Map landed (#1017 + #1068 tightening);
  NominalOpacity fail-closed field-projection enforcement (#937);
  B4.8 Phase-2 site dissolution landed (#1069); B4.2 first-consumer
  wiring landed; T-Cost-Dimension fail-closed precedent (#1003).
- **Grounding:** Rust IntegerRangeFact mirror dissolved (#1005);
  Python primitives.dag landed (#1080); Go primitives tranche 1
  + additional (ac765ce + #1046); T-Ground-Engine Phase 2 slice 1
  (c0cc8b2) noted as pre-cascade footprint queued for cleanup
  wave per design-emission-model.md option (c).
- **Impossible-Bugs:** all 3 main implementations LANDED pre-spawn
  (nested-optional flatten #890 + #962 follow-ups; Int/Int totality-
  by-omission first slice #969; unenumerated effects lens landing
  #971). Day-1 work is class-close completion + sibling totalization
  dispatch (indexing/quotient/remainder), not initial implementation.
- **Pure Bootstrap:** kernel_algebra_profile substrate met via #1017
  + #1068 (consumer plumbing now the remaining R2 work, dispatchable
  Day-1); T-PB-Runtime ExecuteCommand typed-outcome hardening (#1049)
  + T-PB-B boundary coverage (#1082) advanced PB-Runtime foundation
  for R3 lens_apply.rs retirement gate.
- **Modeling:** Secret<T> producer side substantially advanced
  (#900 carrier + #937 fail-closed enforcement); tokenizer charclass
  scanner-order retype landed pre-cascade (242c65d); SourceFiltering
  canonical authority precedent (#1004).
- **Release:** initial closure-ledger snapshot now reflects all
  pre-spawn landings (Impossible-Bugs/Substrate/Ground/PB-Runtime).

Evaluator brief unchanged — new lane added 2026-04-28; nothing
landed yet (gated on PR-A through PR-E design lock cadence).

* docs(briefs): align Substrate Produces + Release R2-close acceptance

Per gpt-5-5-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1126 (sha:a9285fce). Two valid
findings on coordination-contract internal consistency:

1. **Substrate Produces list omitted ValueBody::Map → PB signal.**
   The deliverables table at line 94 named ValueBody::Map as an R2
   unblocker for PB's kernel_algebra_profile mirror dissolution, but
   the cross-program "Produces" section listed 5 signals and did not
   include this one. Same dependency represented in two places with
   different authority.

   Fix: add ValueBody::Map carrier read-path/API + arrow-body
   evaluation as the 6th produced signal targeted at PB Manager;
   update count from 5 to 6 (also in Reporting-cadence line 150).
   Remove the "Adjacent territory" note about kernel_algebra_profile
   being a future sub-lane — substrate already landed via #1017+#1068.

2. **Release R2-close acceptance gate excluded PB from close criterion.**
   The brief's "Consumes" section correctly named all 6 other managers
   including PB, but the r2_close_signal_to_director_authored gate at
   line 103 used "5 R2-archiving managers" (Substrate-prereq /
   Modeling / Grounding / Impossible-Bugs / Evaluator) — could fire
   the R2-close signal while PB's R2-scope lanes (Tier 3 mirror
   dissolutions + kernel_algebra_profile consumer plumbing) are
   still open.

   Fix: gate becomes "all 6 other managers' R2-scope lanes complete"
   with explicit lane-set listed per manager. Distinguish R2-scope
   completion from manager-archives (Modeling/Impossible-Bugs archive;
   Substrate/PB continue into R3 with R3-scoped lanes — those don't
   gate R2 close).

Both are P2 single-authority alignments; no scope change.

* feat(scripts): manager-brief authority consumer + self-test

Per gpt-5-5-pro meta-review on PR #1126: dissolves the recurring
"non-live authority consumed as live" pattern that surfaced 5+ times
during PR #1078 + #1126 review loops (codex tooling false-positives
naming non-existent files / sections; cursor-flagged single-authority
drift on Goal numbering + R3 continuation count).

v1 covers 4 of gpt-5-5-pro's 5 questions:

- **Q1 — cited file existence** — extracts markdown links from each
  brief, resolves relative paths, fails closed if any cited file
  doesn't exist on disk.
- **Q2 — cited section anchor existence** — for `path#anchor` links,
  verifies the anchor matches a slugified heading in the target file.
- **Q4 — `LANDED via #N` reachability** — two-stage check: (a) fast
  `git log --grep="(#N)"` for normal merge subjects, (b) fall back to
  `gh pr view` for squash-merges that drop the suffix (caught a real
  case for PR #900). Verifies merge SHA is `git merge-base
  --is-ancestor HEAD`.
- **Q5 — cross-brief projection consistency** — extracts manager/lane
  counts and verifies all briefs that mention a projection agree both
  cross-brief AND with canonical values from r2-structure.md /
  r3-structure.md (7 standing managers, 6 other managers, 10 R3
  lanes, 7 of 10 Evaluator-gated). Catches drift like "5 R2-archiving
  managers" vs "all 6 other managers".

Q3 (controlled status vocabulary) deferred to v2 — too subjective for
a mechanical check; tracked in script header as next narrowing.

**Self-test** (`scripts/test-check-manager-brief-authority.sh`):
7 contract assertions — negative cases for each of Q1/Q2/Q4/Q5 (×2)
+ fail-closed-on-missing-brief + positive case. Mirrors the
`test-check-release-doc-authority.sh` pattern.

**Wiring:**
- Makefile: `manager-brief-authority-check` + `-test` targets;
  `verify` runs the check.
- CI workflow: both check + self-test wired as named steps; check
  receives `GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}` for the gh API
  fallback in Q4.

**SIGPIPE under pipefail caveat documented inline:** `grep -q .` on a
piped `git log` causes pipefail to report failure (grep exits early,
git log gets SIGPIPE 141). Workaround: capture output and test
`-z`/`-n`. Pinned in Q4 implementation comment.

Closes the convergence move gpt-5-5-pro proposed; future review loops
that hit the same "non-live authority" class get caught at CI rather
than reviewer-by-reviewer prose iteration.

fetch-depth=1 (shallow clone), so the Q4 fall-back stage's

which is the CI default.

* fix(scripts): manager-brief check — set -e + return interaction

Per claude-opus-4-7 review on PR #1126: three non-blocking findings
addressed.

1. **set -e + return non-zero**: the per-brief driver loop used
   `check_q1_file_existence "$brief"; rc=$?` — under set -euo
   pipefail, a function returning non-zero is treated as a failed
   command and exits the script before the accumulator runs. Result
   was "stop at first failing brief," not "report all violations in
   one pass" as intended.

   Fix: use `|| rc=$?` form (with explicit `rc=0` reset). This
   keeps set -e from firing on expected-non-zero returns while still
   capturing the count.

2. **Q2 doc/code mismatch**: header comment promised both
   `path#anchor` markdown form AND `§"section name"` prose form.
   Implementation only handled markdown. Trim the comment to
   match the code; track prose-form in v2 follow-up alongside
   Q3 status-vocabulary as next narrowing.

3. **Q5 pattern overlap (exploratory)**: claude-opus-4-7 flagged
   that "standing managers" might substring-match "standing R2
   managers". Empirical check shows it doesn't (POSIX regex
   requires the exact "standing managers" sequence; "R2 " breaks
   the match). Documented inline; no pattern change needed.

8-bit return-code truncation noted by reviewer is theoretical at
current scale (briefs typically have <10 violations) and is now
moot since the global `violations` accumulator is plain bash
arithmetic; only the per-function `return` is uint8-bounded.

* fix(scripts): manager-brief Q4 — explicit --repo for CI gh detection

CI failed Q4 even after gh-first restructure: actions/checkout@v4's
shallow clone exposes the remote in a form 'gh pr view' doesn't always
auto-detect, so the stage-1 gh call returned empty (no error message
in v1 because stderr was redirected to /dev/null) and the stage-2
git-log fallback also failed (shallow clone has no merge history).

Three fixes in this commit:

1. **Derive REPO_SLUG from `git config remote.origin.url`** at script
   start. Falls back to "gunb-ai/gunbc" if origin isn't readable
   (self-test runs in tmpdir with no remote).

2. **Pass `--repo "$REPO_SLUG"` explicitly to `gh pr view`** so it
   doesn't have to infer from the cwd's git remote.

3. **Capture gh stderr** to a temp file and surface it in the
   violation diagnostic. If gh is auth-failing or rate-limited,
   the violation message now shows why instead of looking like
   "PR doesn't exist."

Both checker + self-test still pass locally. CI should now succeed.

* fix(ci): grant pull-requests:read for manager-brief authority check

The check uses `gh pr view --json state` to verify "LANDED via #N"
claims map to MERGED PRs. Default GITHUB_TOKEN scopes only include
contents:read; pull-request access fails with:

  GraphQL: Resource not accessible by integration (repository.pullRequest)

Surfaced when the script's stderr-capture fix (ea33aeb) made the
actual error message visible — diagnostic improvement paid off
immediately.

* WIP: Gunbc PM

* fix(scripts): manager-brief checker — markdown-bold + heading-strip + Q3 trigger

Per gpt-5-5-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1126 (sha:ea33aeb9). Three
findings — one BLOCKING (Q5 was ceremonial on its load-bearing
projection), one secondary (heading-strip glob bug), one coverage gap.

1. **Q5 markdown-bold mismatch (BLOCKING).** Live briefs use
   `Names this manager one of **7** standing R2 managers` — markdown
   emphasis around the count. The pre-fix regex `[0-9]+ standing R2
   managers` required a bare leading digit, so it matched zero claims
   on every brief. Counts_seen stayed empty → "0 counts seen → silent
   OK" branch fired → check passed ceremonially. A future drift to
   `**6** standing R2 managers` would have been invisible.

   Fix: regex now optionally accepts `**` before and after the digit:
   `\*?\*?[0-9]+\*?\*? standing R2 managers`. Extraction strips
   asterisks (`tr -d '*'`) before parsing. Verified on live briefs:

   $ grep -oE '\*?\*?[0-9]+\*?\*? standing R2 managers' docs/briefs/r2-*-manager.md
   docs/briefs/r2-evaluator-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-grounding-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-impossible-bugs-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-modeling-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-pure-bootstrap-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-release-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers
   docs/briefs/r2-substrate-manager.md:**7** standing R2 managers

   Now actually catches all 7 briefs' projections.

2. **Heading-strip glob bug (Q2 secondary).** `${heading##\#* }` is
   a Bash glob that strips through the LAST space, so
   "## Goal 7 — Evaluator XL" becomes "XL" instead of "Goal 7 —
   Evaluator XL". Multi-word heading anchors silently false-fail.

   Fix: introduced `strip_heading_marker()` helper using sed regex
   `^#{1,6}[[:space:]]+` for accurate prefix-only stripping.

3. **Self-test fixture format mismatch (coverage gap).** Self-test
   used bare-digit form ("7 standing R2 managers"); live briefs use
   markdown-bold ("**7** standing R2 managers"). Fixture proved Q5
   for a format the live docs don't use, masking finding 1.

   Fix: updated all clean + drift fixtures in self-test to use
   markdown-bold form. Verifies Q5 catches the actual format.

4. **Q3 dissolution trigger (per debt-tracking discipline).** Previous
   "v2; the next narrowing opportunity" was a future bucket without
   a checkable trigger. Replaced with concrete trigger: "first
   reviewer-flagged status-string drift class that Q1/Q2/Q4/Q5
   don't catch." Until that surfaces, status vocabulary is captured
   indirectly via Q5 count-projection consistency.

Local checker + self-test still pass after fixes; Q5 now actually
fires on live brief content rather than silently passing ceremonial.

* fix(scripts+briefs): manager-brief Q2 prose-form check + align 7 citations

Per gpt-5-5-pro BLOCKING on PR #1126 (sha:91b5274fc): Q2 explicitly
excluded prose §"section name" citations, but live briefs use those
for load-bearing INVARIANTS / r2-structure / design authority claims.
The exclusion left 12 real authority drifts uncheckable.

**Implements Q2-prose** (in addition to Q2-markdown-anchor):

For each `§"quoted section"` or `§AnchorToken` in a brief:

1. Compute the prefix BEFORE this citation (running prefix; the bug
   in v0 was using before-first-§ for every iteration, so subsequent
   citations on the same line resolved against the first link's
   target instead of their own).
2. Find the most recent markdown link `[text](path)` in the prefix —
   that's the cited file. Fall back to bare `<NAME>.md` token via
   `resolve_authority_file()` (tries `$ROOT/`, `$ROOT/docs/`,
   `$ROOT/docs/thesis/`, `$ROOT/docs/briefs/`).
3. `grep -F` for the section text in the cited file. Permissive
   substring match (vs Q2-markdown's slug match) — accepts
   paraphrased section names while still catching the load-bearing
   "section deleted" failure mode.

**Caught 12 real drifts on first run** — all now fixed:

- r2-evaluator-manager.md: §"Goal 7 — Evaluator XL" + §"Evaluator
  Manager (added 2026-04-28 as Goal 7)" → §"Evaluator Manager
  (added 2026-04-28 amendment)" (matches r2-structure.md:159 actual
  heading)
- r2-grounding-manager.md: §"Tier 1 — Structural correctness —
  Grounding completeness" → §"Tier 1 — Structural correctness"
  (matches THESIS.md:168 actual prose)
- r2-impossible-bugs-manager.md (×2): §"R2 manager continuation"
  → §"Manager structure" (matches r3-structure.md:103 actual heading)
- r2-impossible-bugs-manager.md: §Q1-Q3 + §Q6 → §Q1, §Q2, §Q3 + §Q6
  (range citation didn't match anything literal; expand to discrete)
- r2-release-manager.md (×2): §"R2 manager continuation"
  → §"Manager structure"
- r2-release-manager.md (×2): §v2-guardrail-requirement-3
  → §"v2 guardrail requirements" (matches r2-structure.md:490 body)
- r2-substrate-manager.md: §"R3 lane structure" → §"Lane structure"
  (matches r3-structure.md:86 actual heading)

Local checker + self-test still pass after fixes.

Reinforces gpt-5-5-pro's earlier meta-observation: a checker that
names a discipline but doesn't enforce it on the live format is
documented cheating. Q2-prose closes that gap; the briefs' authority
citations now have to match section text that actually exists.

* chore(scripts): manager-brief — mktemp gh-stderr + Q1 false-pos trigger

Per claude-opus-4-7 APPROVE-with-exploratory-observations on PR #1126
(sha:91b5274f). Two non-blocking cleanups landed.

1. **gh-stderr capture: $$ → mktemp.** Previous form used
   `/tmp/gh-stderr-$$` which is fine in CI but a crashed run on a
   shared dev box could leak the file. `mktemp` gives a unique path
   + paired cleanup in scope.

2. **Q1 false-positive trigger documented.** Q1 currently treats
   every `](path)` as a filesystem reference. Markdown reference-
   style link definitions and code-block examples containing
   `](foo)` would false-positive. No briefs use either form today;
   added DISSOLUTION TRIGGER comment naming the condition that
   would force context-aware extraction (skip fenced code blocks
   + reference definitions).

The third observation (squash-merge for the WIP: Gunbc PM commits)
is a merge-time decision; PR-level chore.

* fix(scripts): manager-brief Q4 case-insensitive + title-case test

Per gpt-5-5-pro APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS on PR #1126 (sha:91b5274f →
6dafaec): Q4 silently missed title-case "Landed via #N" claims.

**Finding 1 (Q4 case sensitivity):** live briefs use three case forms
of "landed via #N":
  - UPPERCASE — emphasized status-table claims (most common)
  - lowercase — inline prose ("landed via #900", "landed via #937", ...)
  - title-case — sentence-leading headings (r2-release-manager.md:113
    "Landed via #1078:")
The pre-fix regex `(LANDED|landed) via` missed the title-case form,
silently passing any future unique `Landed via #N` claim. Fix:
`grep -oEi 'landed via #[0-9]+'` (case-insensitive flag).

**Finding 2 (Q4 self-test gap):** Q4 negative fixture used UPPERCASE
"LANDED via #88888888"; positive fixture had no landed-PR claim at
all. Title-case wasn't covered. Fixes:

- Added `test_negative_q4_unreachable_pr_titlecase` using "Landed via
  #88888887" — verifies case-insensitive Q4 catches title-case.
- Updated `write_clean_briefs` clean fixture to include
  "Substrate landed via #999" (lowercase, matching real brief
  format). Q4 positive path is now non-vacuous: tmp git repo seeds
  "(#999)" merge subject so this resolves cleanly.

**Finding 3 (Q2 prose deferral note)**: STALE — Q2-prose was
implemented in 97affdb (2 commits before this review). The reviewer
cited line numbers from before the implementation; current code at
`scripts/check-manager-brief-authority.sh:121` says "Two forms covered"
not "v2 candidate". No action needed.

Self-test now: 8 contract assertions (6 negative + 1 positive +
1 fail-closed-on-missing-brief).

* chore(briefs): strip trailing whitespace at r2-evaluator-manager.md:46

Per codex review on PR #1126 (sha:3ba4f2c1): `git diff --check
origin/main...HEAD` flagged trailing whitespace inside the
PR-A-through-PR-E dependency-graph ASCII art. Removed.

* fix(scripts): manager-brief Q2-prose digit-leading + negative test

Per gpt-5-5-pro REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #1126 (sha:b9f7a1c1): Q2-prose
extractor required §-followed-by-letter, silently skipping the
digit-leading citation forms used in the same diff.

Live brief usage caught:
  §4   — r2-evaluator/grounding/impossible-bugs/modeling/pure-bootstrap
  §6a  — r2-modeling-manager.md (cite of design-substrate-carrier-port-program §6a)
  §0.7 — r2-pure-bootstrap-manager.md (cite of debt-paydown-synthesis §0.7)
  §5   — r2-release-manager.md

All previously skipped → "Q2 (prose §) resolved" was vacuously true
on those lines.

Fix: regex `§[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9._-]*[A-Za-z0-9]|§[A-Za-z]`
     →    `§[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]*[A-Za-z0-9]|§[A-Za-z0-9]`
(extends [A-Za-z]-leading to [A-Za-z0-9]-leading; quoted form
unchanged).

Documented limitation: short digit-only tokens like §4 resolve
permissively because grep -F "4" matches anywhere; multi-character
tokens like §6a are discriminating.

Self-test gap (also flagged): added
`test_negative_q2_missing_prose_numeric_section` using §99zzz
(digit-leading, multi-char so substring match doesn't trivially
pass). Verifies regex extraction triggers Q2-prose violation on
digit-leading citation drift.

Self-test now: 9 contract assertions (7 negative + 1 positive +
1 fail-closed-on-missing-brief).

* docs(briefs): consume Tier 1 design locks 1+2+3 from #1129

Director landed Items 1+2+3 design locks together via #1129
(`e1afabe47`):
- Item 1 (Q1 asymmetric bound algebra) — `docs/design-emission-model.md`
  §"Q1 — `BoundDeclaration` substrate type"
- Item 2 (reflection completeness) — NEW
  `docs/design-reflection-completeness.md`
- Item 3 (Q6.5 two-layer diagnostic-kind) — `docs/design-lens-framework.md`
  §"Q6.5 — Two-layer authority for diagnostic kinds"

Per agreed PM role on inbox #828: as each design-lock doc lands, PM
consumes the lock into worker brief updates (statuses move from
PENDING/gated → LIVE; cited authority anchors verified by the
manager-brief authority checker). Mostly mechanical.

Brief updates:

- **Substrate** (3 sites): T-Substrate-Lens-Primitive flips from
  "gated on PR-K" to "Q6/Q6.5/Q7/Q8 LANDED via #1129; ready to
  dispatch"; "Diagnostic-kind extensibility (Q6 lock)" replaced
  with the locked Q6.5 two-layer authority cite (Layer 1 closed sum
  Substrate-owned; Layer 2 lens-instance via inhabitance; additive
  widening of `Diagnostic.kind` named).
- **Evaluator** (5 sites): "Lens application gated on PR-C" → cites
  the landed reflection-completeness doc; PR-C row in cadence table
  flips to LANDED; Q6 disposition becomes Q6+Q6.5 with explicit
  cite to design-lens-framework.md §Q6.5; "Reflection completeness
  lives in PR-C" → "lives in design-reflection-completeness.md
  (LANDED via #1129)"; PR-C worker brief in pending list crossed
  out as superseded.
- **Modeling** (1 site): status header now cites Q1 lock landing
  with explicit anchor; int-lit item already references Interval<D>
  via PR-PreF.
- **Grounding** (2 sites): T-Ground-Diagnostic lane and Substrate-
  Manager-cross-program-dependency cite Q6.5 — clarifies lane is
  Layer-1 consumer (not Layer-2 author), no cross-manager handoff.
- **Pure Bootstrap** (1 site): Q6 disposition becomes Q6+Q6.5 +
  reflection-completeness cite added (load-bearing for R3-T-
  LensProducer-Retirement per design-reflection-completeness.md
  §"Cascade and gates" §7.3).
- **Impossible-Bugs** (1 site): Q6 cite becomes Q6+Q6.5; classes
  consume Layer 1, not author Layer 2.

Verified: `bash scripts/check-manager-brief-authority.sh` passes
all 7 briefs (Q1/Q2-md/Q2-prose/Q4/Q5); 9 contract assertions in
self-test still pass.

Note: one brief edit required restructuring (modeling-manager.md:3)
because the original cite put §"section" inside the markdown link's
display text, while the heuristic finds the rightmost `](path)` BEFORE
the §. Moved cite outside the link to align: `[file.md](path) §"section"`.
Same pattern as other landed cites; the checker enforces it
structurally.

* chore(scripts): manager-brief — concrete dissolution trigger for short-digit § limitation

Per codex APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS on PR #1156 (sha:00540f36): the
short digit-only § resolve-permissively limitation was documented
and bounded but lacked a concrete dissolution trigger.

Updated to match Q3 dissolution-trigger discipline: trigger fires
on first reviewer-flagged stale `§N` (single-digit) citation that
survives the substring check because the digit appears elsewhere
in the target file. At that point the check tightens to require
structural context — match `§N` only if the target has a heading
`## N`, `### N`, etc. or numbered-list item at column 0.

Until that surfaces, multi-character disambiguation is the
load-bearing discriminator (and live briefs predominantly use
multi-char forms — §P1, §Q6, §Q6.5, §"Lane structure" — so
single-digit `§4` citations are uncommon).

* docs(design): consume Q6.5 lock in worked examples + r2-structure Q6 row

Per Director (zesty-bear-812) endorsement on inbox #828: fold the
design-doc Q6.5-consumption edits originally drafted in PR #1137
(jolly-ram-908) into the canonical consumption PR. Single-sourced
consumption story; #1137 ends up as a clean no-op redirect.

8 lens-framework worked-example reframes + 1 r2-structure Q6 row
update. All consume the Q6.5 two-layer authority disposition
landed via #1129:

**design-lens-framework.md (8 sites):**
- §"Lens<TenantFlow>" `validate(dag, set)`: "new
  CompilerDiagnosticKind variant" → "lens-local diagnostic-kind
  declaration"
- §"Lens<IFC>" `validate(dag, label)`: same reframe for
  IFCDowngradeViolation
- §"D5 Failure modes": "appropriate CompilerDiagnosticKind variant
  (lens instances may extend CompilerDiagnosticKind...)" →
  "appropriate lens-local diagnostic-kind declaration"
- §Q6 alternative (d): "pushes structural failure data into
  Diagnostic.kind (which is CompilerDiagnosticKind sum type —
  already extends per-instance per
  feedback_state_space_vs_behavioral_invariants)" → "pushes
  structural failure data into lens-local Diagnostic.kind
  declarations"
- §Q6 anti-bridge claim renaming `no_string_parsing_in_witness_consumers`
  description: "Diagnostic.kind extensions" → "lens-local
  Diagnostic.kind declarations"
- §Q6 Recommendation (d): "encode into Diagnostic.kind sum-type
  variants. Lens instances ... extend CompilerDiagnosticKind
  with their own variants" → "encode into lens-local Diagnostic.kind
  declarations. Lens instances ... declare their own kinds beside
  the lens instance"
- §Q6 DECISION line: "(c)/(d) hybrid — Witness<C> stays as-is;
  rich structural validation failures encode into Diagnostic.kind
  extensions via the lens-framework's structural inhabitance" →
  same with "lens-local Diagnostic.kind declarations"; date stamp
  augmented with "refined 2026-04-29"
- §Q6 Director's framing #1: "CapabilityViolation as a
  CompilerDiagnosticKind variant is uniform" →
  "CapabilityViolation as a lens-local diagnostic-kind declaration
  is uniform"

**r2-structure.md (1 site):** §"Q1-Q8 disposition" Q6 row updated
to match design-lens-framework's locked language: "encode into
Diagnostic.kind extensions via lens-framework's structural
inhabitance" → "encode into lens-local Diagnostic.kind declarations
via lens-framework structural inhabitance, not into the closed
compiler-core CompilerDiagnosticKind sum".

These edits are *editorial* — the Q6.5 lock at design-lens-framework.md
§"Q6.5 — Two-layer authority for diagnostic kinds" remains the
canonical authority; this just aligns the worked examples + r2-
structure summary row with that canonical phrasing so future
readers don't see the older "extends CompilerDiagnosticKind"
framing in worked examples and assume it survived.

Verified: manager-brief authority check passes (7 briefs / 0
violations); 9 contract assertions in self-test pass; release-doc
authority check passes.

Per inbox #828 + #1130 coordination: jolly-ram-908 confirmed PR
#1137 will close as redundant once #1156 lands (the brief edits
were already absorbed by my prior consumption pass; these
design-doc edits are the residual that's now folded in).
