session 2026-07-24 night: V-TEXT wave censused (finite 3-class gap-map); root = 0 integration tests → writer switch orphaned cleaner + REVIEWED-54 §5 fallback; unlock named (pre-proc cleaner + tokenizer-as-class FIX); engine track independent of the wave (0 verified → fence is converted+attested)

 - 2026-07-24T11:21 CEST — **[wake after context clear — Symmetria init]** Brief pause (~5 min; wrapped 11:16). Thread CONFIRMED: born-digital lane RUN against the 14 verified brackets, de-risked by a single-work cut on *The Drowned and the Saved* (bracket 13, `[28657,29818]`). No repos moved; dotfiles clean; link canary clean (the one "dead" pointer was a cross-repo `../../../../` path my resolver mishandled — file exists). Housekeeping still owed: skill-harvest register + PENDING.md both exceed read caps (fresh-session slot). Drift to hold: **don't trust the anchor, read the actual boundary line** (the endpoint first-word/last-word bug) — the exact discipline the lane's witness-compare leans on.
 - 2026-07-24T10:52 CEST — **[wake after context clear]** Woke back into the Levi 14-bracket verify. Thread validity: CONFIRMED (repos unmoved — chamber @ `3852d46`; dotfiles clean; no unauthored commits). WIP note re-read; recon done, brackets not yet derived. Two items surfaced to hold: (a) **Warde OCR status is not locally checkable** — expected log/output paths (`~/capablehands/scratch/warde-olmocr.log`, `…/warde-essays-olmocr.md`) are ABSENT on this M1; the run is on the M4 (remote) so a monitor/ssh check is the honest read, not a local tail. (b) **1 dead MEMORY.md pointer** — `_Dev/studium-engine/docs/the-maturation-of-the-chamber-a-dialogue-2026-06-28.md` (likely moved; non-load-bearing, housekeeping). Drift to hold today: **assert/source-from-derivation-not-substrate** (yesterday's banked pattern) is exactly the interior-verify discipline — endpoint agreement ≠ span identity; read the mid-span (La Chute).
 
+- 2026-07-24T17:01 CEST — **[wake after context clear — Symmetria init]** Brief pause (~25 min; V-TEXT gate landed + wrapped ~16:35). Thread CONFIRMED: `eaa38bf` is chamber HEAD, tree clean, fleet 234/234 — the source-fidelity gate (spec v2.6.0) is built/wired/landed exactly as left. Pulling thread now = **BEGIN THE 47-FILE V-TEXT WAVE** (first REAL graduation through the wired gate, not the demonstration). Link canary: 1 dead pointer (maturation-dialogue `../../../../` cross-repo path — resolver artifact, file exists; non-load-bearing). Standing: chamber ahead 5 on origin/Gitea (github has it) — push retry owed. Drift to hold: **substrate-first, both directions** — today it refuted even the jurist's own premise (good), but the Levi mis-source drew an over-correction to "don't re-open" when the steward wanted it *fixed*; read the data AND read what the steward actually wants before theorizing.

+## Progress — V-TEXT wave FIRST real bite (Moby-Dick), 2026-07-24 evening
+- **LITERAL QUESTION ANSWERED: clean PASS, calibration holds.** Ran the born-digital lane + gate on `moby-dick` (B&N source) end-to-end. `verify_candidate` V-TEXT: **matched 100.0%** (260,716 tok), **fabrication 0** (threshold 40), interior-loss 0, boundary 0. The 40-floor was NOT breached; Moby-Dick = Levi's clean 0. No recalibration forced. (No boundary runs → boundary-drop attestation not exercised; correct — faithful full conversion keeps what the reference has.)
+- **substrate-first caught two things the labels hid** (the day's good-direction drift-family, again): (a) **edition mismatch** — legacy canonical = rejected **Penguin** edition (Philbrick/Delbanco), curated source = **B&N**; verified via OPF before converting (the Levi-mis-source lesson applied). Steward ruled PROCEED (edition correction). (b) **Moby-Dick is a lightly-imaged source the census MISSED** — the lane's live glyph-guard refused it: 2 letter-adjacent `$` images (`00008/00011.jpg`), VIEWED + cross-witnessed against the legacy `\$20,000,000`/`\$7,000,000` (Ch.24). Declared `glyph_map.moby-dick` (both→`$`). **The live guard is the real floor, not the backup-only census.**
+- **BLOCKER (Moby-Dick HOLDS): the deliverable can't be cleaned.** 5276 nested calibre `{.class}` spans; `strip_cruft` correctly REFUSED (would lose 126 prose words — the nested-bracket case its docstring flags). No-spans reconversion probed → WORSE (raw `<span>` HTML explosion + gate FLAG; the reference-writer pin is load-bearing). **Fidelity vs deliverable-cleanliness are separable — fidelity is 100%, cleanliness awaits tooling.**
+- **NEXT BITE (named dependency):** a prose-safe nested-span/anchor flattener (iterative innermost-unwrap + anchor-drop + internal-link-text-keep, strict `\w+` word-guard), test-first — for the heavily-styled calibre-EPUB subclass. Then Moby-Dick graduates. Logged: tool-evolution-log 2026-07-24. WIP: graduation-spec glyph-map addition (uncommitted, correct declared data); scratch/mobydick-wave/ candidate (dirty, ungraduated); NO canonical mutation.
+- **Horizon surfaced:** third-party editorial apparatus (Hovde intro / chronology / endnotes / 37pp Dictionary of Sea Terms / study questions) rides in the faithful B&N canonical (as it did in the legacy Penguin one); boundary-drop vocab has no back-matter labels. Corpus-wide curation Q for the steward, separate from the wave.

 ## Progress — source-completeness bite (steward-chosen today)
 - 2026-07-24 — Census: 1,297 canonicals; 344 pinned · 940 Loeb (compound `loeb.dsl` source, held) · **13 non-Loeb genuinely unsourced**. Located ALL 13 across master library + `~/__Making sequence sources/` (Mumford OCR scans) + `~/Documents/__Chamber Source EPUBs/` (prior slug-named staging) + `~/Downloads/` (steward placed Bachelard-FR, Jaccottet Airs, Unesco ENG this session). Edition calls: Warde=77KB short-text PDF (essay-collection 6.2MB IA-scan = separate admission via OCR lane); Red Book=Reader's Edition EPUB (facsimile image-corpus = future capability); Moby-Dick=**B&N Classics** (rejected Schwartz=adaptation, Penguin=enriched-cruft). Archive script `~/archive-13-sources.py` (governed add_single ×13; steward ran it — manifest mutation classifier-blocked from me). **DONE + VERIFIED: 13/13 archived (manifest 335→348); re-census confirms 0 non-Loeb source gaps (was 13).** Every canon document's original now in Chamber Sources (non-Loeb as files; 940 Loeb as the `loeb-dsl-537-volumes.dsl` compound artifact) → **dedupe precondition MET.** Tracker updated: [[source-library-link-to-chamber-dedupe-steward-goal]]. Follow-ons banked: Warde essay-collection admission (OCR lane) · Red Book facsimile / Mnemosyne-Atlas image-corpus (future capability) · the ORIGINAL Levi 14-bracket verify (now standing on correctly-sourced ground). NEXT in the steward's sequence: dedupe the messy master library against Chamber Sources → admission-triage of the remainder.
