+- [Session 2026-08-07 night — the quotation is the joint](session-2026-08-07-night-the-quotation-is-the-joint.md) — **V2's preconditions worked all the way, and they opened something bigger.** P4 censused **14** (my own `grep -c` reproduced the design's "21" error); **P5 span-bound 15 of 17, not 6** — I briefed "6" by reading a *byte*-locatability number as the gold count, and my first binding pass bound **0 of 11** because its criterion was inherited from Tier-1; **P7 tagged fr at 1 A : 9 B**, inverting its own prediction, while **en is not taggable** (no spans; EN divisions run **29×** the FR ones). Tagging surfaced that the corpus **serves quoted third voices as the host author's** — **~6,455 runs, ~94% intra-line** — and that **Stevens, Rilke and Ungaretti sit in Harrison with no marks at all**: *"It took dominion everywhere"* retrieves as `voice: harrison`. Fixed three sources, then the steward reframed it (*the quotation is where reader and author meet*) and **REVIEWED-96 ruled the fix itself the wrong instrument** — D-4 already prescribed attribution, and refusal **destroyed a gold-negative** for the class it protected. **Twelve instrument faults**, the twelfth (German `»…«` read with a French pattern) reaching a **filed governance document**. **Three governance items found cited-as-live while unplaced**, all invisible to the drift checker. 🔑 **One control — six known answers — was the only thing that caught a fault before its output was read.**

 - [Session 2026-08-06 evening — the asterisk that carried meaning](session-2026-08-06-evening-the-asterisk-that-carried-meaning.md) — **The parse fix LANDED (`27b79ca`): 26 crashes → 0, MISLOCATED 0, FALSE-POSITIVE 0** across all 5 items where silence is the correct answer — both deciding buckets empty, so the revert condition was not met. **HIT 0/22**: the engine now grounds nothing *honestly*, needing 13–19 terms to co-occur. **0/22 is the number to beat.** ⚡ **The embedding arm already scores 22/22 recall@20 on the identical items** — capability measured in June, never landed; V2 is the gate that makes surfacing it safe. **Governance: the register could not answer "how many rulings do I owe"** (23, not the digest's 26) — REVIEWED-87→94 placed, five of them **reconstructions** with provenance lines; PENDING-99/-105/-106 closed (106 **by split**); PENDING-108/-109/-110/-111 filed. ⚡ **The steward's printed A Pattern Language found that `fidelity_equivalence@3` erases Alexander's invariant rating** (81/114/54 across the corpus) — jurist package filed, containment 13/13. **Instruments caught 4 corrections; the jurist 1; the steward 2 — and his came from reading a physical book.**
