session 2026-08-17 coda: PENDING-146 (Class E) + the three placed-record corrections

Wrap amended after it was written, because the thread moved.

PENDING-146 filed at steward direction: the open list's unit is the id, the
decidable unit is the ## block. Upstream of everything PENDING-142 reaches, and
worse than a wrong verdict because the verdict is right.

Corrects my own report to the steward: FOUR blocks under PENDING-131 carry a live
Awaiting (parent, ADD-1, ADD-2, ADD-4), not the two I named. The jurist ruled on
that testimony while explicitly disclosing it had not verified ADDENDUM 1; running
that one check overturned the count. The disclosure was the instrument — no
control was pointed at it.

The answer key's specification changed before the key was drafted: it must be
keyed on ## BLOCKS, not ids, recording per block whether a live Awaiting exists
and at what tag. Keyed on ids it would have reproduced the unit that caused Class
E and graded green.

Resumption point revised and superseding the wrap's: three live options, steward
stopped tired without picking. (A) Move 2, closable in one sitting, no ruling,
and it is the fence itself. (C) Move 1, the emission-side fence over all 532
spans. (B) the answer key, session-sized. Recommendation absent a preference:
(A) then (C).

KG +3: the census-of-what-I-looked-at drift pattern; the disclosed-scope-limit
prevention; and the unit-of-a-pre-registration catch.
