session 2026-08-25: the beacon fired, Tarbuckle named and voiced, STATE-CLAIM built

Session state, memory index, KG and the Symmetria ledger. Carries the steward's own
placement of REVIEWED-127 off-disk — preservation, not modification: it was found
staged during the wrap by §6.5's own guard, which is exactly the case that clause
exists to catch, and the answer was benign.

Verified rather than assumed at placement: the placed ruling is byte-identical to the
executor's draft, 3,523 bytes both sides. No drift between a ruling's subject and its
artifact — the PENDING-82/86 class, checked because it is cheap and because this record
already notes that class recurring inside a ruling.

The draft file is SUPERSEDED IN PLACE rather than deleted: it is now a parallel version
of a canonical record, and an unmarked parallel version is the context-rot failure. It
points at REVIEWED.md and says not to edit it. Both PENDING items updated from "drafted
for steward placement" to placed — a line that went false the moment the steward acted.

MEMORY.md 22,368 bytes, prior Active Session demoted verbatim into MEMORY-reference.md
on promote. Fool tracker rewritten: it named a superseded workstream (trial 09,
re-aim) and now names Tarbuckle, the sealed artifacts, and the honest state that
NOTHING IS WIRED. N-now 51.

KG +6: three drift-patterns (vigilance did not prevent the failure it was vigilant
about; filed a non-defect as a defect twice in one direction; a control fixture pointing
at a file the session was editing) and two preventions (recusal preserved the only party
able to answer; censusing 24 occurrences stopped a blanket replace from destroying the
distinction the fix existed to create).
