session 2026-08-07 evening: PENDING-112 + REVIEWED-95 (route harvested capabilities by firing moment)

Register censused and rebuilt from the archive: 177 claimed -> 154 real live
proposals, legible, with exact archive:L### pointers. The 2026-08-01 compaction
was lossless but illegible (55 scraped header rows; 95% of cells cut mid-word);
completeness verified 124 = 124, so nothing had been dropped.

Skills pruned 63 -> 12 after measuring that 53 had never been invoked across 64
sessions / ~5 months. The finding underneath: retrieval is set by a capability's
HOME, not its importance -- MEMORY.md 83%, register 77% (named in a wake step),
ladder 14%, 'THE GOVERNING FRAME' 12%, 'Read at Step 0' 9%, recall-bound skills 0%.

PENDING-112 filed, jurist design-gated, steward concurred; REVIEWED-95 drafted.
Landed: the /wrap-up 1.6 filing gate (prospective) and the /wake-up ladder
sentence (a pre-registered trial intervention, landed alone). The 20-session
falsifier is WIRED, not intended -- DEFERRED-DECISION ladder-ritual-trial,
trigger: transcripts 84. Wiring it exposed two defects in the deferral checker:
no way to express a session count except as a date proxy, and a scan that never
looked at claude/governance/. Controls 16 -> 19.

Stroke 2's 41-entry ladder append deliberately NOT done: REVIEWED-95 Q3
sequences it after the ladder trigger, which now exists.

 ## Active Session
-> ⛔ **V2 — the validation harness. All three assembly blockers are now RESOLVED** (P1 lenracinement clean · P2 G&G sidecar authored · §1.1 German gold manifested 2026-08-07). **Read `studium-engine/docs/v2-validation-harness-design-2026-07-09.md` §6 (gold-set composition) and §7 (adversarial negatives) BEFORE writing anything** — 429 lines, 7 deliverables, fully specified.
-> ⚠ **The thresholds are jurist-RATIFIED (V0 §5) and are NOT to be re-opened or re-derived**: trust `U(false-accept) ≤ 5%` + recall ≥ 0.75 · revise ≤ 15% · else gate-to-abstain; Clopper-Pearson 90% upper bound; Tier-1 decidable, no statistical bar. **gate-to-abstain for a thin cell is a PRE-COMMITTED VALID COMPLETION — do not tune to avoid it.**
-> ⚠ **Do NOT add a score threshold to N2.** Its 5/5 false positives are recorded as a first-class number; a cut fitted to the 27-item fixture is overfitting, and a test asserts no threshold constant appears.
-> ⏳ **Also standing:** the collision census (first evidence D-5's design window exists to produce) · R0 emit (nothing written to `chamber-library` yet — D-3, steward review first) · relay the three PENDING-111 findings to the jurist (`studium-engine/docs/REVIEWED-87-amendment-DRAFT-2026-08-07.md` §B).
-> 🔑 **Today's standing lesson: the COUNT found what the read did not, every time** — and three of three freshly-built checkers reported a failure that was their own. Look at *what* an instrument flags, not *how many*.

UNTOUCHED and UNBLOCKED.** All three assembly blockers stay resolved (P1 lenracinement · P2 G&G sidecar · §1.1 German gold). **Read `studium-engine/docs/v2-validation-harness-design-2026-07-09.md` §6 (gold-set composition) + §7 (adversarial negatives) BEFORE writing anything** — 429 lines, 7 deliverables, fully specified. Nothing about V2 decayed on 08-07; the governance detour was deliberate and is closed.

Emphasis buys nothing; ritual naming buys everything. A proposal that cannot name a firing moment is **documentation and must say so**.

+- [Session 2026-08-07 evening — retrieval is set by home](session-2026-08-07-evening-retrieval-is-set-by-home.md) — **The skill-harvest bite taken whole, at the cost of V2.** Register censused before compacting: claimed 177, **real 154** (55 rows were scraped table-headers; 123 of 129 cut mid-word) — but **lossless**, 124 = 124, so my drafted "nine are invisible" and "59% misattributed" were both **refuted by the count**. Rebuilt from the archive with exact `archive:L###` pointers; restored the verbatim four-stroke ruling my own rebuild had replaced with a paraphrase. **Skills pruned 63 → 12** after measuring **53 never invoked in 5 months** (plus a dir named from a **404 error body** and ten with **newlines in their names**); 51 quarantined reversibly. The finding under both: **retrieval is set by home, 0%–83%**. **PENDING-112 → jurist ruling → steward concurrence → REVIEWED-95 drafted in one session**; filing gate + ladder trial sentence landed, **falsifier wired not intended** (`transcripts 84`) — which exposed two defects in the deferral checker itself, incl. that it **never looked at `claude/governance/`**. Package passed containment **20/20, 10/10 controls absent**, after the checker caught my own **elision-as-contiguous** and **fabricated join**. 🔑 **8 of 8 fresh instruments at fault; the elegant symlink discriminator was 97% right and would have destroyed the 2 that mattered.**
