 > ⚠ **THE "PRESERVED" FIXTURE WAS A 0-BYTE FILE.** `corpus/pattern-finder-station-i-pass1.md` — committed empty at `38de1a9` (2026-06-26), one commit, never written, **unreproducible**. Three documents carried *"do not delete or regenerate it"* for **seven weeks** and no currency pass ever opened it. Found by **checking the inherited question's premise before answering it**.
+> 📋 **TOMORROW, steward-directed at the 2026-08-09 wrap: PROMOTE THE LINK-RESOLUTION CANARY TO A SCRIPT.** It is **already on the ladder AND named in a `/wake-up` step** — and was still typed **inline twice on the record** (2026-08-08; 2026-08-09's index rotation). ⚠ **The gap is neither knowledge nor home; it is that no home carries an EXECUTABLE**, so it is re-implemented at each firing — the banked *"re-writing what is already banked"* violation, and the K column's whole point. → `~/dotfiles/scripts/`, **invoked** by `/wake-up`, not described; cover `](file.md)` **and** `[[wikilink]]` across MEMORY.md + MEMORY-reference.md; distinguish pre-existing- from newly-broken; **carry a positive control** (a deliberately dead pointer) — an unexercised canary is the silent-net class.
 > 🔑 **PULLING THREAD — V2's ENGLISH GOLD: narrow the March anchors from DIVISIONS to SPANS.** The ONE act unblocking **three of P7's four findings** (EN `taggable:false` · the **29×** cell asymmetry · §7.3 negatives near-unconstructible in EN). ⚠ It is an **authoring act** → route is **propose-and-mark-`unverified`**; do **NOT** shortlist with `retrieve.py`/`ground.py`, which are the instruments under test. **START: the Alexander eight** (short); Harrison's fourteen are ~350k chars and their own session.
 > ⚠ **P7 ALREADY RAN (2026-08-07, `corpus/v2-stratum-tags.yaml`) — read it before deriving anything.** The "baseline asymmetry" is **measured**: EN divisions median **27,833** chars vs FR spans **969**. Also: the fr authoring plan **inverts** (inherited 1 A : 9 B; §6.3 would land ~1:27, not 1:1 — **~8 stratum-A pairs needed that nothing asks anyone to write**).
 > ✅ **REVIEWED-113 + 114 placed.** `pattern_finder` re-run **still PASS-BUT-FALSELY** — and **V0/V1 could never have changed it**: all 36 citations verbatim + correctly located, so V1 passes every one; the defect is **V3/V4's tier**. **Abstention 0/12**, beside N2's **0/5**. 129 built (`6f6bac5`) + the organ's first suite; fleet **8 suites / 263 checks**.

 2. Emit each narrowed span as a PROPOSAL carrying its evidence, marked `unverified`, with the
    shortlisting mechanism DISCLOSED. ⚠ Do NOT shortlist with retrieve.py/ground.py — those are
    the instruments under test; using them makes the gold shaped by what it grades.
-3. ⚠ OWED, and only the steward can do it: the DATED ANSWER KEY for the post-fix re-run,
-   marked AGAINST THE CORPUS (the report emits only a 320-char `_snip` per citation, so it
-   cannot be marked from the file alone). Until it exists REVIEWED-114 stays OPEN, no document

+3. STEWARD-DIRECTED TO-DO (2026-08-09, at wrap): PROMOTE THE LINK-RESOLUTION CANARY TO A
+   SCRIPT. It is already ON the ladder AND named in a `/wake-up` step, and it has still been
+   typed inline twice on the record (2026-08-08, logged in
+   `feedback-one-shot-instruments-are-proportionate`; 2026-08-09, the MEMORY.md rotation
+   check). ⚠ So the gap is NOT knowledge and NOT a home — both exist. It is that neither
+   home carries an EXECUTABLE, so the step is re-implemented at each firing. That is the
+   banked violation ("re-writing what is already banked"), and it is the K column's whole
+   point. Extract to `~/dotfiles/scripts/` and have `/wake-up` INVOKE it rather than
+   describe it. Scope it to what today's inline version actually did: every `](file.md)`
+   AND every `[[wikilink]]` in MEMORY.md + MEMORY-reference.md resolves; report dead
+   pointers; distinguish pre-existing-broken from newly-broken. Give it a positive control
+   (a deliberately dead pointer in a fixture) — an unexercised canary is the silent-net class.
+4. ⚠ THE DATED ANSWER KEY for the post-fix re-run — marked AGAINST THE CORPUS, by the steward
+   alone (condition 3 + 6). Until it exists REVIEWED-114 stays OPEN, no document names a
+   fixture, and V4 is not built. **SPLIT THE WORK — the executor half is unblocked and is
+   step 4a:**
+   4a. EXECUTOR: build the marking sheet. For each of the 36 citations emit, in emission
+       order and with NO grouping or ordering by my judgment: the primitive statement · the
+       locator (`work` §`section_id` L`a`–`b`, so the steward can always open the source) ·
+       the FULL span text pulled from the corpus (not the 320-char `_snip`) · a blank verdict
+       field. ⚠ NO pre-filled verdicts, no hints, no "likely" markers — the sheet is a
+       convenience INDEX INTO the corpus, never a substitute for it; carry a sha of each
+       extraction so the pull itself is checkable.
+       ⚠ Verdict vocabulary must be THREE-VALUED, per the doctrine this session applied
+       everywhere else: `grounds` · `does-not-ground` · `cannot-judge` (+ reason). A
+       two-valued key would force "I could not tell" into one of the neighbours — the exact
+       collapse REVIEWED-104 forbids, committed inside the artifact built to teach honesty.
+       Scope line at the top: this judges RELEVANCE only; V1 already establishes that every
+       span is verbatim and correctly located.
+   4b. STEWARD: mark it. ~33 distinct passages; a bounded sitting, not an open-ended task.
