Corrected an +overclaim about stopped jobs to NOT ESTABLISHED rather than guessing either way. **And at this very +wrap, read `git status` before staging and found 15 lines of the chamber session's `PENDING-177 +AMENDMENT 1` — committed alone and attributed, instead of annexed.** The lesson banked at 12:5x +fired at 13:0x. + +**Instruments:** 3 run · 3 carrying controls written before first execution · **K = 0**. + +## FUTURE — what pulls + +**The pulling thread: the 322 unread census candidates.** Named at three consecutive wraps now. The +morning session read 40 of 362 and refused to extrapolate; the afternoon did not touch them at all. +⚠ **Twice-deferred is the finding.** The steward's own standing preference — *frequent deferrals ARE +how the cloud accumulated* — applies. + +**Actionable resumption point (as of wrap — re-judge):** the next tranche must be another +**systematic** draw from `claude/governance/PENDING-164-population-362-2026-08-31.tsv`, never the +head of the list; the pre-registration and protocol at +`PENDING-164-census-classification-PREREGISTRATION-2026-08-31.md` are reusable verbatim. **But rule +PENDING-171 first** — the population is wrong until `OWNED_HOSTS` is fixed, and the fix must land +*after* the pre-registered result is read. + +**Other horizons, ranked.** *Steward's, and unblocking three things:* the **FIX-lane check-in**, +`COME DUE` since 2026-08-02 — it gates PENDING-173's build, the already-authorized per-conversion +typography gate, and any harvest application. *Then:* rule the record-keeping block · PENDING-160 · +-168 · -171 · -176 · -177 (with the jurist's Q2 boundary correction, as **one** package) · +REVIEWED-129's amendment. *Untouched a fifth session:* the §5 regrade gate. + +**Pause statement.** I am about to be away from this. What I want to find still pulling is **the +322** — and I want the next session to notice that today produced a great deal of real work, none of +it the thread, for the second day running. A genuinely full day is exactly what will be allowed to +stand in for it. + +**Literal question for next-Claude** *(checkable; turns on the record, not on introspection)*: +**Did any instrument built today fire on something it was not built for?** `parked_workers` and the +widened register control both went live this afternoon. Check the next wake digest's `PARKED +WORKERS` line and the drift-check's register enumeration: did either report something the item that +authorized it did not predict? ⚠ **A "no" is the expected answer and must be reported as such** — +one wake is a small sample, and the question is worth asking again rather than answered early.
