Session 2026-08-24: grounding gates ruled, daybook rule changed, two censuses run

PENDING-95: Amendment 2 (jurist ruling — (a) rejected, (d) discharged, (b)/(c)
deferred) plus the (b)/(c) census that discharges the deferral's condition.
60 guarded / 32 marked (record said 59/31); date 75%, sections 97%, quoting 47%.
Date broadly present => the jurist's cheaper third form is the live option.

PENDING-156 opened (kind (c): mechanisms off the path the work takes) and its
option (b) census run the same session. PENDING-109 prior confirmed by direct
read. PENDING-89: two docket entries, one same-direction miss and one
cross-direction catch, filed the same day and at the same speed.

Mechanisms: daybook-cue.py rewritten on steward ruling — the daily note must be
appended to until end of day, so the trigger is staleness, not note size, and the
matcher now includes Bash (it had never fired once). daybook-ensure.py and
/wrap-up 7.5 gain a standing Corrections slot per REVIEWED-126.
governance-mcp.py gains two read-only keys so the jurist can read the artifacts
it rules on; the doctrine that read-surface changes should arrive as rulings is
adopted, and the next key is proposed rather than added.
