 - [Be (laundromat)](project-be-laundromat.md) — canonical workstream tracker established 2026-06-08 (Seb-relay of locked decisions). Be = Skemantix startup (Seb+David) funding CapableMind's funding-ladder; **bridge, not venture**. Decisions LOCKED: entity/exit (CapableMind decoupled, grant-funded), pricing (Living $12.99/mo · Archive $69.99/yr · Memorial $49.99/yr · Renovate ~$199 · $8.99 floor), CF Self-Serve Agency + versioned-template-package infra. **a11y gate MERGED (Pat 100/100/100).** Pre-revenue: the WTP gate = renovate Pat → charge her. **Discipline: stop adding spec until the gate clears → nothing for executor on be until then.** Repo @ `f43a0fd`.
 
 ## Active Session
-- [Session 2026-06-30 — clasp memory-check + library indexer](session-2026-06-30-clasp-memory-and-library-indexer.md) — Two arcs. **ARC 1 (clasp):** steward's memory ("we connected before, late April") OVERTURNED yesterday's GREENFIELD scope — `mindfabric-00` paired into the **founders mesh since 2026-04-18** (kronos=clasp, **ALIGNMENT-not-inference**, `CLASP_BASE_MODELS` never configured, cloud 502); the wanted thing (CapableHands as a *local inference* clasp for the Air) IS new but the pairing mechanism is proven. Drafted `note-for-seb-2026-06-30-clasp-state-and-plan.md` + committed/pushed all CM-AI L1 thinking docs (`5801d8f`) so the 15:00 Seb meeting plans the clasp WITH him, not solo (a RETURN to the 06-23 §3b framing). KG updated. **ARC 2 (library indexer, priority 2):** built Phases 1–3 (chamber-library `98d18d7`→`dee8943`, PUSHED): P1 `index_library.py` (2190 ebooks, 0 err, internal metadata); P2 `link_chamber_sources.py` (forward provenance + REVERSE **1649 works in library NOT in chamber**; KEY FINDING **exact-source=0** → chamber's Making sources are DISJOINT from the master library → integrated `~/__Making sequence sources/` as `--also` pool, 9 works resolved); P3 `propose_library_dedupe.py` (Tier A **934MB/115 files safe**, B review, C flag-only, proposes-never-deletes). Refinements: author-sort fingerprint KEPT, PDF first-page heuristic REJECTED (tested, noisy), **content-QUALITY keeper probe** added (EPUB toc/spine/scan/fffd; flipped real cases — kept clean-content over clean-name). Caught+fixed a self-introduced extract_pdf regression (tool-review). calibredb 9.9 operable. **NEW STEWARD TARGET:** two Calibre libraries — "Chamber Originals" (byte-preserved, MD-linked) + "the rest"; consolidate the 2 existing Calibre libs; Loeb DSL excluded. **PULLING THREAD: indexer is read-only-complete → next is the MUTATING consolidation (draft read-only plan: calibredb two-tree build + authorized Tier-A dedupe + MD↔original linkage) for steward authorization.** Q: which removals did the steward authorize from the dedupe proposals, and did the Seb meeting turn the clasp into a joint plan?
+- [Session 2026-06-30 evening — Loom/Mill convergence + consolidation reframe](session-2026-06-30-evening-loom-mill-and-consolidation.md) — Two converging arcs. **ARC 1 (Loom/Mill):** Seb's instance shared the Spec Loom & Mill methodology (2026-06-28); I acted by GROUNDED reconciliation not theory (the docs name theory-bloat as the most-acute disease) — two halves of one four-party team independently re-derived ONE governance genome; we've built its instruments by hand (ratchet=skill-harvest+tool-evolution-log+ladder; two-register split=MemPalace↔MEMORY.md already executed; diseases=Symmetria §3 flags), and hold pieces they only NAME (authorization-taxonomy=governance-of-the-ratchet; contamination-problem=mechanism under "judge-overwhelmed-into-assent"). Built+pushed CM-AI `2a53ac3`: reconciliation + governance field-guide + David→Seb message. **SLM-1 (Chamber's independence) = David's ticket; the Chamber is THE Chamber.** **ARC 2 (consolidation):** CHALLENGED THE FRAMING (steward: Calibre was only a cheap catalogue means) → reframed substrate to **plain files + regenerable manifest**, Calibre demoted to disposable view (dissolves byte-preservation tension by construction); rewrote the read-only plan. **Audited Ars Legendi** (steward's PRE-PIPELINE ARC-spec source collection, all critical): 48 books = 19 dupe/3 same-work/**26 UNIQUE** (several = chamber needs-locate) → absorb selectively. **PULLING THREAD: the Chamber consolidation IS the methodology's real test slice (=SLM-1); execute Phase 0→1 tomorrow from the substrate-correct plan, gated on steward's Tier-A cut + Q-answers + Seb's clasp instructions.** Steward ended low/tired — released to rest. Q: did Seb send clasp instructions overnight + has steward made his Tier-A cut?

+- [Session 2026-06-30 — clasp memory-check + library indexer](session-2026-06-30-clasp-memory-and-library-indexer.md) — Two arcs. **Clasp:** steward's memory overturned the GREENFIELD scope — `mindfabric-00` paired into the founders mesh since 2026-04-18 (kronos=clasp, ALIGNMENT-not-inference, cloud 502); local-inference clasp IS new but mechanism proven. Note-for-Seb + pushed CM-AI L1 docs (`5801d8f`) to plan WITH Seb at 15:00. **Library indexer (Phases 1–3, chamber `→dee8943` PUSHED):** index 2190 ebooks; link both directions (exact-source=0 → Making sources disjoint, `--also` pool resolved 9); dedupe proposals (Tier A 934MB safe; content-quality keeper). Steward target: two Calibre libs (Chamber Originals byte-preserved + the rest). Read-only-complete → mutating consolidation owed.

 - [Session 2026-06-29 — graduations, pipelines, and the clasp pivot](session-2026-06-29-corpus-graduations-pipelines-clasp-scope.md) — Long, two-arc day. CHAMBER: graduated **4 Making works** (Taylor→hermeneutics [pattern-setter: footnote family B + loud-abort guard], Virilio→french_theory [family C caret-chapter], Handke→literature/contemporary [+ size-sanity guard after a near-miss], Illich→environmental); **folded RAW_HTML into audit_cruft** (`9e99e07`, gates now agree, honest 1215/72→1220/70); built `clear_safe_html_residue.py` (cleared 11 svg/nav files, guard refused 9 incl. Arden's 10k-word near-deletion). **Launched overnight pipelines**: CapableHands olmOCR ×3 (Jonas→Mumford MoM I→II) + local docling ×3 DONE (**Technics&Civ clean → resolves the parked corrupt EPUB**, Speed&Politics, Burnout). **Mapped the whole landscape**: remaining Making EPUBs = Kindle-derived structure-lost sub-batch (need a tool built once); the 72→70 backlog = **mostly the reconvert-FLAGGED set** (source-matched 24/34 to the library); scoped the **metadata indexer** (keystone for link+dedupe+locate) + found the **1263-missing-sidecar gap** (952 Loebs = parseable H1 headers, never-YAML/never-stripped). PARKED: Alter Psalms (character-as-image), Kindle EPUBs, poetry-fenced_div. Then **PIVOT to L1** (Seb meeting tmrw 15:00): N6 deploy holds (wedge gone), scoped **standing up CapableHands as a BMF clasp** (43M). **PULLING THREAD: the clasp deploy on CapableHands TOMORROW MORNING (before 15:00 Seb call) — priority 1; indexer priority 2.** Q: can the clasp stand up end-to-end, or does the pairing-unknown become the Seb conversation? chamber `15ea750` + studium `844b207` pushed.
