 ## Active Session
-- [Session 2026-07-24 late-morning — Levi 14 witness-brackets DERIVED + INTERIOR-VERIFIED (all clean, no La Chute) · pulling thread = the born-digital lane RUN](session-2026-07-24-late-morning-levi-14-brackets-verified.md) — Woke (post context-clear) into the morning's set thread — the Levi second-pilot **14-bracket verify** — and closed it in one bite. **All 14 witness brackets derive + interior-verify cleanly against the source EPUB spine; NONE resists — no La Chute at omnibus scale** (morning literal-Q #1 ANSWERED). Method: EPUB-spine cross-ref (calibre flattened the work-body headers, so title-grep can't bracket — the recon's KEY FINDING held) via a **punctuation-normalized word-sequence matcher** (defeats curly-quote/dash + the running header `The Complete Works of Primo Levi` calibre stripped). Verify = (a) disjoint monotonic ordering `866<3097<…<32111` [no work's START inside another's span]; (b) uniform 9–13 line paratext gaps incl. both Volume-divider boundaries [dividers image-only→blank; no container paratext swallowed]; (c) interior sampling 25/50/75%×14 [Faussone→Wrench, Pyotr→If-Not-Now, all-verse→Poems…]. Coverage 30,353/32,998 (92%); the 8% is correctly-excluded container paratext. Endpoint precision-bug caught + fixed honestly (first-word→last-word line; work-1 true end = `—STUART WOOLF` L3097). **Deliverable: `chamber-library/_curation/levi-second-pilot-2026-07-23/witness-brackets-2026-07-24.md`** (table + evidence + declared-data YAML). **Did NOT mutate the hook-gated `graduation-spec.yaml`** (downstream, lane-run's step). **Warde OCR** (morning literal-Q #2 ANSWERED): running normally on the M4 ~84%→landing; **timezone near-miss caught by substrate check — the M4 is in CANADA (EDT/UTC−4, ~6h behind Barcelona)**, banked into [[reference-capablehands-standing-authorization]]. **PULLING THREAD: the born-digital lane RUN against the 14 brackets** — start DE-RISKED with a single-work cut on **The Drowned and the Saved (bracket 13, [28657,29818])** to test the flagged "footnote injection untested at 14-work complexity" risk BEFORE the full 14. This IS `promotion.scale_application` (owed; gates one-door corpus-wide + the 47-file wave). **LITERAL Q: cutting *The Drowned and the Saved* through the lane vs bracket 13 — does footnote injection hold at its note-density, and does judgment cost stay tractable, or explode when the easy mechanical patterns run out?** Read the session file + the brackets deliverable + the WIP recon note at wake.
+- [Session 2026-07-24 afternoon — Levi scale-application pilot RATIFIED (REVIEWED-71); Flag-1 now gates the wave](session-2026-07-24-afternoon-levi-scale-pilot-ratified-flag1-gates-wave.md) — Ran the born-digital lane against the RULED `scale_application` condition (REVIEWED-70 Q2). First cut = **work 13** (footnote-injection de-risk: **331/331 injected across all 14 works, holds**; 551→95 spans after a demonstrated escape-fold extension; 0 loss) — BUT work 13 has **ZERO mutilation sites**, so **redone on the mutilation works 2/7/10** (steward-directed "redo in an applicable work"): aggregate 148,262 words, **98.45% matched, 0 regression, converter-better 8 sites ALL source-adjudicated** (Wstawać ć, Braşov ş-cedilla [source-faithful, NOT "corrected" to ș], Oświęcim ś+ę); **inter-work-interior DEMONSTRATED** (drop→INTERIOR→FLAG; baseline PASS + leading-trim REVIEW controls). **Jurist CONFIRMED (REVIEWED-71, legacy-witness-only grant)** + caught a real **§6 reasoning error I own**: a 0-delete compare against a SILENTLY-MUTILATED legacy witness canNOT establish source-fidelity (proves only no-regression-vs-prior-conversion, REVIEWED-70 Q1). **⇒ source-fidelity UNDISCHARGED; Flag-1 (pin V-TEXT reference params) now LOAD-BEARING — no V-TEXT graduation before it closes.** Recurring drift this session = one shape 3× (assert-from-recall-not-substrate): legacy-as-discovery · nearly repackaged an ALREADY-RULED Q (REVIEWED-70) · "classifier-blocks-me-from-graduate" (probe: WRITE OK — I CAN graduate). **Warde** staged (V-SCAN, not Flag-1-blocked, ~90%: `normalize_ocr` VERBATIM PASS + verify_conversion PASS; 2 OCR sites [`popularlarity`/`himselv`] owe scan-adjudication; `twerppography`=Warde coinage KEEP). **PULLING THREAD: close Flag-1** — pin the V-TEXT reference params + run the CLEANED candidate through body-conservation → clean source-fidelity PASS → unblock the 47-file V-TEXT wave. **LITERAL Q: does the cleaned candidate + pinned reference return a clean source-fidelity PASS (discharging the obligation the §6 error left open), or does a real non-markup divergence surface once the markup noise is stripped?** Ruling+report+Addendum filed in chamber `docs/`; chamber working changes uncommitted (steward's repo/PR process).

 Older archived-session pointers and the stable reference layer (steward profile · project-state detail · L1/L2/Chamber inventories · legacy pending-work · reference-file list) live in [MEMORY-reference.md](MEMORY-reference.md) — consult on demand; not loaded at wake. Recent cross-session trajectory comes from the Active Session entry above + the recent `session-*.md` files (wake §2.b.1; the MemPalace `handoffs` glance was retired 2026-07-07 with the wind-down).
