 **Honest coverage gaps (from the brief, not to be smoothed):** the AI-cataloging data point (LC ~99% structured / <50% subject) is *indicative, not adversarially verified*; TEI/CTS scholarly-edition tradition came back *under-surveyed* (the "TEI as later tier" plan neither validated nor challenged); Ranganathan faceted classification returned no surviving claim.
 **Files affected (on advancement):** `chamber-library/docs/chamber-library-specification.md` (A1/A2/A3 → amendment via supersession) and/or `_curation/graduation-spec.yaml` (B, gap-fill); each its own [PROPOSAL] + REVIEWED entry.
 **Awaiting:** jurist doctrine pass on the A-items (steward relay); confirmation that the B-items run as ordinary amendments; each advanced adoption re-enters as its own tagged [PROPOSAL]. **Nothing amends the spec until then.**

+### PENDING-49 — RULED 2026-07-06 (REVIEWED-49; jurist doctrine pass). Execution sequenced AFTER the MEMORY.md compaction.
+Disposition (verbatim capture + executor action-list: `chamber-library/docs/library-science-adoptions-RULING-2026-07-06.md`; steward places the canonical REVIEWED-49 in `~/REVIEWED.md`):
+- **A1** — advance as an **ADDITIVE registry** (Agent/Nomen joined by appellation to author-name strings; **no per-work field**) → **the frontmatter sweep is UNBLOCKED** on the current schema (FIX; no double-touch). `agent_id`-required deferred as *emergent* via an A3 registry-linkage metric, not scheduled.
+- **A2** — advance as **preamble/rationale** (FIX). Citation-correction: Berman for the narrow claim only; the personal-scheme licence is Olson's stronger move → **verify Olson's primary source (*The Power to Name*, 2002) before drafting**; default (b) (Chamber's own synthesis, attributed to neither) until verified.
+- **A3** — advance as **PROPOSAL** (a self-audit conditioning OPERATIVE status is a status-gate = doctrine-class). 3 dims: provenance-completeness (annual) · registry-linkage-completeness (annual, double-duty for A1) · legibility-to-successor (every 2–3 cycles); **fixity stays automated/continuous, out of the manual audit**.
+- **A4** — record the scope-warrant redirect to A2's preamble (FIX, after A2 lands). **B** — ordinary amendments (word (iii) computational-only). **C** — reconciliation targets the Agent/Nomen registry specifically.
+**Executor-owed (verify-don't-assert):** the engine hot-path read (`retrieve.py`) for A1's field-timing; verify Olson's primary source before A2's preamble.
+**Steward-sequenced 2026-07-06:** next session = **MEMORY.md compaction FIRST**, THEN execute this ruling. REVIEWED-49 = steward to place in `~/REVIEWED.md` (as with 44–48).

-**PULLING THREAD (singular): the jurist doctrine pass on PENDING-49 — doctrine-before-tools-before-sweep.** The library-science adoptions are constitutional-grade; the whole downstream (the frontmatter sweep, the tool adaptations, the new authority layer) waits on the jurist's ruling.

 **⟶ NEXT-SESSION OVERRIDE (steward, 2026-07-06, post-wrap):**
 1. **FIRST, before anything else — the MEMORY.md compaction pass. Steward-AUTHORIZED 2026-07-06** (the deep-reduction the skill-harvest register was holding as authorization-owed; the size hook has fired across sessions). Shape: **back up MEMORY.md first** → move the large *stable reference* sections (steward profile / project trackers / feedback memories / ARC & L1 state / reference-file list) to a consult-on-demand `MEMORY-reference.md` → leave the wake-loaded `MEMORY.md` = standing prefs + canonical trackers + Active Session + recent archived (target well under the ~17KB load limit). Verify every `[[link]]`/pointer still resolves after the move (the wake-canary shape). It is *real memory movement*, so: backup, surgical, verify — its own careful pass, which is exactly why it goes first and alone.
