+- [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.** *(Demoted on promote at the 2026-08-07 night wrap.)*
 - [Session 2026-08-07 — the count found what the read did not](session-2026-08-07-the-count-found-what-the-read-did-not.md) — **Twelve commits, three repos.** MEMORY.md trimmed 19.9→16.7 KB · **N1** (tree, 4 primitives) · **R0** (one reading-index loader — the adapters had already diverged on 3 of 253 patterns with *neither* right) · **N2** (`0/22` was the wrong search space: gold anchors are DIVISIONS → **top-1 15/22**, ⚠ **and 5/5 false positives**, untuned) · **@3 corrected in place** under the PENDING-111 ruling, with **three measured findings refuting the package's own premises** · **D-5** (TEI deferred, proxy trigger retired, discriminator pre-registered) · two governance checkers (register-integrity + deferred-decision triggers) · three corpus voice-defects fixed (Alexander re-anchor + "Using this book" partition; **Thibon's introduction had been served as citable Weil**) · **V2's German blocker dissolved — the source was graduated 2026-07-09 and nobody looked for a month.** 🔑 **Every defect was found by a COUNT, none by a read; 3 of 3 new checkers were themselves at fault.** *(Demoted on promote at the 2026-08-07 evening wrap.)*
 - [Session 2026-08-04 evening — the instruments that never fired](session-2026-08-04-evening-the-instruments-that-never-fired.md) — **Census 02 run entire on the seven instruments census 01 left uncensused. The firing record divides by whether a HUMAN is in the invocation path** — not by age, quality or importance. `audit_cruft`/`verify_conversion`/`apply_char_glyphs` exemplary (a curator invokes them); `resolve_archived_source` healthy 349/349 with **zero** log entries (nobody invokes it); `verify-before-compose` fired **exactly twice** (07-17, 07-18) recoverable only from harness transcripts; studium `verify-quote` + `fidelity_equivalence@2` have **no production caller at all**. **The hook cannot fire on the constitution it protects** — the existing file's own `GROUNDED-IN:` disarms it, 31 of 59 guarded files. **The engine was asked a question for the first time** and certified *"genuine silence, not a gap"* on `grey zone` over **ten `gray zone` matches in Levi** (corpus American-spelled, steward Canadian); mechanism is wider — bare FTS tokens are **conjunctive**, so recall dies as a question lengthens. Falsifier held (`the quality without a name` is *correctly* silent). **PENDING-95..98 filed together; 96 AUTHORIZED + LANDED on the jurist's sharper wording** (mine reproduced the overclaim one size down) and **stays OPEN** — `retrieve.py` has **no test at all**. Built: the **engine tool-evolution log**, seeded, **§0 declaring what it cannot see**. Two of my own findings died to their controls. **PULLING THREAD: name Chamber V1's purpose and settle the thirteen as its voice-set** — my "just go use it" was punctured by the steward's cycle (*engine missing x → source not golden → no bounded scope*); the break was already in his own tracker unread since 07-28 (*purpose choice and corpus scope are ONE decision*). Verified at wrap: **13/13 engine shas match disk** — the thirteen are NOT the 1,297, and the criterion is **stability, not quality**. One named defect inside them (Musil's stale voice-purity sidecar, off by 6).
