session 2026-08-31: PENDING-164 AMENDMENT 2 + PENDING-171; two addenda; two MEMORY.md claims corrected

The wrap's own findings, none of which were the session's subject:

PENDING-168 ADDENDUM 1 — the /wrap-up §1.6 FIX lane is PROVISIONAL until a
steward-jurist check-in that its own index calls due. Batch 1 closed 2026-08-02;
29 days, no check-in, and one executor-classified FIX applied past the boundary.
The deferral machinery reported "5 tracked, none due" because nobody ever gave
the check-in a DEFERRED-DECISION block. Filed one with a past trigger; the
drift-check now reports 1 of 6 COME DUE. Proved by readback.

PENDING-104 ADDENDUM 2 — two live executors today, detected by neither. A
sibling session read an mtime, worked out this session was concurrent rather
than previous, and stopped rather than write to PENDING.md. The wake digest had
drawn the opposite inference from the same fact.

MEMORY.md: the Fool line asserted NOTHING WIRED — false on all three clauses;
statusLine has been running tarbuckle-body.py for six days. Ladder N-now is 44,
not 51, and falling. Both verified against the substrate, not relayed — the
sibling's counts were off in both directions.

Today's one harvest candidate filed as PROPOSAL rather than applied, on the
lane's own suspension rule, and it corrects a banked proposal's mechanism: a
required-section check derived from the SKELETON constant cannot detect the
drift, because SKELETON is the copy that is wrong.

Ladder size is an uncontrolled variable in that design, so executing the authorized batch would confound the only check behind REVIEWED-95's causal claim. **⚖ RULED — REVIEWED-123 (2026-08-17): AUTHORIZED (a) HOLD, on six conditions, and the freeze is GENERAL rather than S2-specific.** Grading does NOT authorize the append — the batch returns for a *ruling*. Report **N-now at every wake** until lifted; 30-day review is a live `DEFERRED-DECISION`. ⚠ Filing new proposals now requires a **declared firing moment** (`/wrap-up` §1.6); one that cannot name it is documentation and must say so.
