session 2026-08-14: PENDING-134 closed (REVIEWED-121 placed + executed); PENDING-137/138/139 + PENDING-89 docket filed

Session record, ledger, index rotation and KG appends for the day PENDING-134
closed end-to-end. The finding worth carrying: a verification control passed
truthfully and licensed a false claim, because its subject was transcription
while the claim was an inference over the quoted rows.

Index: 2026-08-13 Active Session demoted to MEMORY-reference.md on promote;
MEMORY.md 18,945 bytes against the measured 24,400 limit.

⚠ Steward owes on resume: place REVIEWED-121 — AMENDMENT 1 (draft in the
transcript, conformed to the one heading form the register check can see).
Next session deliberately elsewhere and lighter, by steward direction.
