governance: place REVIEWED-78/81/82 and the CLAUDE.md role alignment in the record
Steward-authored edits, committed by the executor: these were on disk but not in git, which is the same gap as 8abfe88's missing archive — the working tree is not the record. The executor authored no content here; CLAUDE.md remains the steward's under Constitutional Constraint #1. Verified before committing rather than after: the CLAUDE.md diff is line 27 only (principal **ethics** architect, and co-author of L1 with Seb). REVIEWED.md is +97 lines with exactly one deletion, and that deletion is REVIEWED-80's absent trailing newline being supplied — no content lost. PENDING-78/81/82 are now closed by number, so the open queue reads 15, all of it dormant since March–May. Also adds .gitignore for scripts/__pycache__, which governance-mcp.py creates every time it imports wake-digest.py — my own tooling's droppings, not the steward's.

**Decision:** AUTHORIZED

**Notes:** Resolved in full by the fresh preferences draft placed under REVIEWED-81, which

contracts` branch pointer (merged as `c9746ae`; HEAD is `main`), "L2 blocked pending L1 stability"

(L1 dormant 30 days — re-expressed as an open question rather than a status), and the ARC

"near-operational" framing (Stage G sealed 2026-06-10 — finished and quiet, not nearly ready).

Recorded as its own entry rather than folded into REVIEWED-81 for a mechanical reason: the

## REVIEWED-81 — Keeping CLAUDE.md and the Claude.app preferences fresh with respect to each other
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-07-28
|
||||
**Decision:** AUTHORIZED
|
||||
**Notes:** Finding #1 ruled by the steward: **Cowork is not a party.** Removed from the Claude.app
|
||||
preferences by the steward the same day; `COWORK.md` and every reference to it go with it. Two
|
||||
grounds, the second only visible once the MCP question was answered: a third executor costs a
|
||||
third copy of doctrine that is `CLAUDE.md` with the nouns changed; and Cowork could not have
|
||||
served as the jurist's filesystem eyes even in principle, since `coworkUserFilesPath` points at
|
||||
`~/Claude`, which does not exist, and remote Cowork — the incoming default execution mode — runs
|
||||
no local MCP server at all.
|
||||
|
||||
The §Standing Context split is authorized and drafted afresh at
|
||||
`~/dotfiles/claude/app-preferences-draft-2026-07-28.md`, from the live text the steward pasted.
|
||||
Doctrine and identity sections are preserved verbatim — PENDING-81 established they do not drift,
|
||||
so rewriting them would have been loss disguised as tidying, and the census that would have
|
||||
licensed it was not run. Every repair is confined to §Standing Context, which is where every
|
||||
finding in PENDING-78 and PENDING-81 actually sat.
|
||||
|
||||
Three tiers, because the parts fail in three different ways: **Projects** (generated by
|
||||
`wake-digest.py --brief`, dated, replaced wholesale), **Live questions** (hand-held but phrased as
|
||||
questions — *"what has to be true of L1 first?"* survives time in a way *"L2 blocked pending L1
|
||||
stability"* did not), and **Personal** (steward-held; the generator excludes it by design, not by
|
||||
convention, and no instrument pretends to check it).
|
||||
|
||||
Two divergences were flagged rather than decided, and the steward resolved both the same day.
|
||||
(1) **"principal ethics architect" is correct, and co-author besides.** The preferences carried
|
||||
the right text; `~/CLAUDE.md` L27 is the stale record. Steward applies the alignment — the
|
||||
executor cannot edit that file (Constitutional Constraint #1) — scoping co-author to L1, which
|
||||
`CLAUDE.md` L88 already attests ("co-author with Seb for L1"). Worth noting which way this fell:
|
||||
the flagged conflict was resolved *in favour of the document with no instrument watching it*.
|
||||
Currency is not authority; the drift-check covers `CLAUDE.md` and nothing covers the preferences,
|
||||
and the uninstrumented document was the accurate one.
|
||||
(2) **The divorce was signed on 30 March 2026.** Closed. Now recorded as a completed past event
|
||||
rather than a pending one — a date on a finished act is inheritable, where a date following
|
||||
"awaiting" decays into a false present.
|
||||
**If AUTHORIZED:** Steward pastes the fresh document into Claude.app. Executor keeps the durable
|
||||
copy in `~/dotfiles/claude/` current, and the wake continues to report the generated block's age
|
||||
past 30 days — tracking **generation, not pasting**, which is a lower bound on the jurist's
|
||||
staleness and never a guarantee of freshness.
|
||||
|
||||
## REVIEWED-82 — Read-only MCP server: giving the jurist eyes on the substrate
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-07-28
|
||||
**Decision:** AUTHORIZED
|
||||
**Notes:** Steward confirmed that local MCP servers are exposed to Claude.app's **chat** surface
|
||||
and always have been, predating Cowork by about a year. The executor's framing ("chat, not only
|
||||
Cowork") was backwards: it is *chat, always; Cowork, only while its loop still runs locally* — and
|
||||
local Cowork is the mode being phased out as default. The jurist chat is therefore the sturdy
|
||||
target, which makes this design less exposed to product drift than the Cowork-dependent
|
||||
alternative that was considered and rejected.
|
||||
|
||||
`~/dotfiles/scripts/governance-mcp.py` is authorized for installation via the `mcpServers` key in
|
||||
`claude_desktop_config.json`. Five read-only tools; the one no pasted cache can ever match is
|
||||
`governance_item(id)`, which returns the **verbatim** body of any item or ruling — the jurist can
|
||||
read the thing it is ruling on instead of ruling on a summary of it.
|
||||
|
||||
Four refusals are designed in, each with a same-run control proving the refusal detectable: no
|
||||
writes (audited by AST — 0 mutating calls, git subcommands `{log, status}` only); no path
|
||||
arguments at all (keys from a fixed enum, so there is no traversal to defend and the reachable
|
||||
domain is enumerable rather than defined by the instrument); no second parser ("an item" is
|
||||
defined once, in `wake-digest.py`'s `item_spans()`, imported); and not an agent (a tool returns
|
||||
data, where a second Claude sent to look would return testimony about the substrate).
|
||||
|
||||
Verified: 29 self-test controls pass, 0 fail, plus a live stdio round-trip — `initialize` →
|
||||
`notifications/initialized` (correctly unanswered) → `tools/list` → two `tools/call` → malformed
|
||||
input surviving as `-32700` rather than a crash, with only JSON-RPC on stdout and stderr empty.
|
||||
|
||||
Reading is not executing: the role boundary is unchanged. The `[FIX]` to `item_spans()`
|
||||
fence-awareness carried in the same commit changed no behaviour today (17 open items before and
|
||||
after) but closes a latent defect whose trigger is the steward's own drafting practice.
|
||||
**If AUTHORIZED:** Steward merges the `mcpServers` key and restarts Claude.app. Reversal is
|
||||
deleting the key. Tag any follow-on commits REVIEWED-82.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**If the steward prefers to wait**, substitute:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
**Decision:** DEFERRED
|
||||
**Notes:** [as above]
|
||||
**If DEFERRED:** The server is inert — nothing loads it until the `mcpServers` key exists. Revisit
|
||||
when the steward wants the jurist reading the substrate directly rather than through the generated
|
||||
brief. No work is blocked meanwhile; `wake-digest.py --brief` remains the fallback.
