[FIX] 'abandonment' -> 'retirement' in the fool's doctrine; §6 was false as of today

Browse Source 
The jurist owned this mismatch and scheduled it after the beacon so no edit would
touch the filed rule before it fired. It fired at 12:00Z; this is that harmonization.
v2 §4 step 3 said "Abandonment criterion" while §10 defined RETIREMENT.

Censused before editing rather than sed'd. All 24 abandon* occurrences in the fool
tree were counted and read in context: 9 were doctrine and changed; 13 in the trial-09
family were LEFT — that is the word §6 of the trial design owns, in its own sense about
the jester form, and a blanket replace would have silently collided the two meanings it
was supposed to separate. 1 in input-dependence-01 is ordinary English about the void of
a numbering. 1 in FOOL-BONES is the dated record of what was owed.

Prior wording preserved in place at every changed site. REVIEWED-125 ruled on the v2
draft's text; an untraceable edit drifts a ruling's subject away from its artifact, which
is the PENDING-82/86 hazard this item's own record already notes recurring inside a
ruling. The criterion is unchanged — only the word naming it.

Separately, found while in the file: §6 "What has NOT happened" asserted the pulse had
not been fetched and no bones derived. Both went false at 12:00Z today. Marked superseded
in part, bullets struck rather than deleted since they are the pre-registration record,
and pointed at FOOL-BONES for current state. A governance doc asserting stale current
state is what Constraint 4 forbids.

New §7 logs every post-beacon edit to the filed rule, so "filed and pushed before the
beacon" stays auditable instead of eroding one silent correction at a time. Its claim
that §1/§2/§2a/§3/§5/§5a are untouched was verified by reading the diff hunks against
the pre-edit section map, not asserted.

## 7 · Post-beacon edits to this rule — the audit trail
This document's worth rests on having been **filed and pushed before the beacon
timestamp**. Every edit made after 2026-08-25T12:00:00Z is listed here, so that property
stays auditable instead of eroding one silent correction at a time.
| date | what changed | authority | did it govern the derivation? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-25 | `abandonment` → `retirement`: §4's alias and naming note, §5b marked done | jurist ruling recorded in §5b, which itself scheduled the change *after* the beacon | **no** — the word naming a criterion, never the criterion |
| 2026-08-25 | §6 marked superseded in part | Constraint 4, honest degradation | **no** — §6 is a status claim, not a rule |
⚠ **Nothing in §1, §2, §2a, §3, §5 or §5a has been edited.** Those are the clauses that
governed the derivation, and they stand exactly as they stood when it ran. This is not an
assertion of good intent: it is checkable, and was checked — `git diff` was read hunk by
hunk against the pre-edit commit to confirm no hunk falls inside them.
