 > ✅ **THE ASYMMETRY, AND IT IS BUILT** (`063eccf`): `DEFERRED-DECISION` solved *"not yet"* for **decisions** weeks ago; a stale status line is the same sentence about a **state**, and nobody noticed they were the same shape. PENDING-157+158 filed, **ruled AUTHORIZED jointly**, and shipped same session — `STATE-CLAIM` reusing `trigger_fired()` verbatim, resolution state on both kinds, **48 controls (was 32)**, proven on the **live** blocks.
 > ⚠ **THE MOTIVATING EVIDENCE WAS RECOVERED BY LUCK.** The five-day pair surfaced only because a **false belief was stated aloud** — PENDING-148 *was* ruled (REVIEWED-124) and the void *was* recorded, in one document of three. **An accident with no reproduction path.**
 > ⚖ **§8 HAS NO BLANKS LEFT.** Interval **20 min, frequency UNKNOWN** (honest, not derived from an unmeasured base) · empty-window **consumes, no branch** (a determination, not an amendment — it *deletes* a special case) · body **varies at the margin of notice**. ⚠ **Jurist correction: *a presence you forget* is THE SPECIFICATION, not the failure** — cond. 2 guards *furniture-blindness*, a lower bar; I was building to the higher one, which is how you get a widget. **The variation must correlate with NOTHING.**
-> 📌 **STEWARD OWES: place REVIEWED-127** — drafted at `~/dotfiles/claude/governance/REVIEWED-127-draft-for-placement.md`.
+> ✅ **CORRECTED 2026-08-26 — REVIEWED-127 WAS ALREADY PLACED WHEN THIS LINE WAS WRITTEN.** The ruling went into `~/REVIEWED.md:2218` in `2676a7e` — **the same commit that wrote the claim below.** The line is **struck rather than deleted**: it is instance six of the staleness class, and deleting it would remove the evidence along with the error. Discharged under `STATE-CLAIM: memory-index-claims-reviewed-127-unplaced`.

 - [Session 2026-08-25 — the beacon fired, Tarbuckle got a voice, and a half-built schema was found](session-2026-08-25-the-beacon-fired-and-tarbuckle-got-a-voice.md) — the derivation run once; name + soul sealed as attestation; the staleness class diagnosed, ruled and BUILT; §8 closed out. **NEXT: wire Tarbuckle — one session, no decisions left in it.**
