 - [CapableHands standing authorization](reference-capablehands-standing-authorization.md) — M4 mini david@10.0.1.136 durably authorized for remote OCR/inference; don't re-ask permission to use it (steward 2026-07-01).

 - [Steward maps live in ~/dotfiles/maps](reference-steward-maps-home.md) — a **map** = an artifact David reads *directly* to orient. Write it into `~/dotfiles/maps/` and symlink to the Desktop, **never** straight onto the Desktop; `wake-digest.py` reports strays.
-- [Governance files are dotfiles symlinks](reference-governance-files-are-dotfiles-symlinks.md) — `~/PENDING.md`/`~/REVIEWED.md`/`~/CLAUDE.md` → `~/dotfiles/…`; Edit/Write refuse to write through a symlink, so **edit the real dotfiles path** when appending PENDING/REVIEWED.

 - [Typography palace — query via CLI](reference-typography-palace-cli.md) — type masters (~20-21 sources) in a dedicated MemPalace at `~/.mempalace/palace-chamber-typography`; query `mempalace --palace <that> search "…"` (CLI). For ARC typography — don't re-ask where it lives.
 - [The central path — answerability, not purity](feedback-central-path-answerability-not-purity.md) — the contamination recursion is **probably irresolvable**, so **stop certifying the parties, bind the claims.** Route by claim-type: *checkable* → produce the check + a falsifier; *judgment* → disclose standpoint in one line, decide, record; *undecidable* → name it open. **One layer of disclosure, then act — never audit the audit.**

 ## Active Session
-> ⛔ **NEXT SESSION = the chamber use-session — the thread the steward deferred to "the morning after the research session." That morning is now.** Ask the corpus real questions; let that settle Chamber V1's voice-set. ⚠ **Twice-deferred, three days old — both deferrals were for genuinely good reasons, which is exactly how a thread dies. If a third good reason appears, the pattern IS the finding.**
-> ▶ **Resumption point (re-judge against what changed):** (1) Q4 needed no ruling — build the chavruta to cite by **engine-constructed citation** (carries `text_original` bytes, immune by construction), which unblocks use with no further gate. (2) Then the still-undone retrieval measurement: `cd ~/_Dev/studium-engine && python3 engine/retrieve.py "<real question>"` — record *served? · reached · missed and WHY*, sorted into the two piles that ARE the V1 decision: **"we lack the voice" vs "we lack the retrieval"** (PENDING-97's input). (3) `corpus/mauss-phase2-reanchored.yaml` is ready to consume; `corpus/v2-gold.yaml` is NOT written and waits on P1–P4/P6/P7.
-> ⏳ **Awaiting others — do not confuse waiting with working:** jurist ruling on **PENDING-102–107** (package filed, 5 gate questions); **REVIEWED-87** still drafted-not-placed; PENDING-95/96/97/98/100 await routing; **PENDING-89 owed a docket entry** from PENDING-102.
+> ⛔ **NEXT = the chamber PARSE FIX — decided jointly with the steward at the 2026-08-06 wrap, not defaulted into.** Make `engine/retrieve.py` accept a sentence; 26 of 27 real questions currently **crash**. Bounded, and it carries its own regression test (27 audited queries with known answers). ⚠ **Inherited constraint, load-bearing: the fix must NOT make the engine answer more.** Every obvious fix (strip punctuation, tokenize, add semantics) trades **loud failure** for plausible-but-wrong — the incident's exact behaviour. Read `studium-engine/docs/chavruta-retrieval-measurement-2026-08-06.md` §2 and §4 **first**: PENDING-97's filed description of the bug is wrong (you never reach conjunction; the query dies at parse).
+> ⏳ **Not my thread — do not confuse waiting with working:** the **Seb package** (agreed: when it can be done well; no external clock — three measured L1 write-path findings are ready for it) · the **L2 design note** (*every constitutional bound ships with a demonstrated negative instance, or it is documentation*) — wants dwelling, deliberately not composed fast. **REVIEWED-87 still drafted-not-placed** while `engine/fidelity.py:12` cites it as ratified. Q4 census + PENDING-104 brief need **dates, not "later."**
 
-- [Session 2026-08-05 evening — the brief contained the failure it commissioned](session-2026-08-05-evening-the-brief-contained-the-failure-it-commissioned.md) — **PENDING-101 executed read-only. Two of the brief's three framing findings do not survive the primary source**: finding (1) turns four modal hedges (*may be · appears to · can be · may*) into flat fact, and compaction is not among the report's five contributing factors; finding (3) inverts it (only committed counterfactual = internet access; §5.3 is LLM *monitoring*; §2.1 records **no human loop by design**). **Finding (2) holds and is the one that transfers** — a documented "never" relied on as a control, invisible until it failed. **The failure the brief commissioned was inside the brief, and I repeated it** in my own session memory, uncaught for a day → **PENDING-102**, classified as confirming REVIEWED-86's *declared* weak separation, not refuting it. **PENDING-107 is the largest: Constitutional Constraint #1 says "cannot" and there is no mechanism** — `settings.json` has no `permissions` key (deny 0/allow 0), the one PreToolUse hook is `*chamber-library*`-scoped and structurally cannot fire. Also filed: 103 (chain-writer claim vs 553-line writer), 104 (no concurrency guard; collision observed in today's own wake digest), 105 (Q5 — **the compactor is the actor**, §2.1 as design *fact*), 106 (docs over-claim gates; 1 instance, not a census). **Jurist package + 3 phase records in `~/dotfiles/claude/governance/`; containment 16/17 → caught my own compressed quote → 17/17, 11/11 controls, INSTRUMENT VERIFIED.** ⚠ **Five instrument-failures in one session; two would have produced findings FAVOURABLE to the thesis under test; the steward caught the fifth.** Symmetria actually invoked this time (ledger exists). **Third consecutive day the corpus was not asked anything** — steward-directed, so drift as result, not choice.
+- [Session 2026-08-06 — the note that said it could not happen](session-2026-08-06-the-note-that-said-it-could-not-happen.md) — **Both constitutional items CLOSED, not filed.** Constraint #1 reworded **by the steward's hand** after the executor **declined a jurist authorization it did not hold** — the tested case, and it held. The 08-04 "BMF stays down" decision **had not held**: the tracker's *"⚠ No KeepAlive"* note is **inverted** (plist unchanged since 03-07: `KeepAlive{SuccessfulExit:false}`+`RunAtLoad:true`) — **a crash restarts it; only a clean stop leaves it down** — so the 08-04 kill resurrected it, and **the false note is why nobody re-checked for two days.** Now `bootout`+`disable`d, both agents; prompt tax 3.11→0.22 s. **Chavruta measured: 26/27 real questions CRASH, 0 empties**; prediction pre-registered, **graded wrong on mechanism**. Three L1 write-path findings ready for Seb. **Steward reframed the incident pass — he wanted the design transfer, not a repo audit.** ⚠ Five same-class executor errors, three caught only by the steward.
