session 2026-07-07: MemPalace wind-down decided (evidenced audit) + KG exported to files

Diagnosed the "upgrade" as a 300-behind bge-m3 fork, not a standard install; the
morning "self-healed" drift was 108 chronic quarantines (data intact). Independent
46-transcript audit: search+KG not load-bearing (value migrated to files). Steward
decided (evidenced) to wind down palace-memory; execute fresh. KG exported to
knowledge-graph.jsonl (329 triples + 437 entities). Wind-down plan + BMF-lessons
report outline captured. Demote-on-promote; skill harvest appended.

+- [Session 2026-07-06 evening#2 — A2 filed (PENDING-50); OCR-fidelity rug-lift](session-2026-07-06-evening2-a2-filed-ocr-fidelity-ruglift.md) — **A2 (REVIEWED-49) SETTLED + FILED as PENDING-50** for the jurist editor-gate. Read Olson *The Power to Name* ch.6 against the **scan image**; settled **(b)** — Olson does NOT license a self-standing personal scheme (Principle 1: 'make it permeable … rather than … constructing a new limit'), so (a) would mis-cite her; Berman=narrow claim, Olson=eccentric/perspectival move as she makes it, self-standing scheme=Chamber's own synthesis. Drafted the preamble ('On the partiality of the arrangement'); all quotes scan-verified. Closed **by-the-book** — filed PENDING-50, did NOT edit the spec in place (§Governance & Amendment forbids it; even FIX needs jurist editor-gate). **Then the steward lifted the rug:** OCR noise IS in the graduated Olson .md (grep-verified); traced to gate code (`verify_conversion.py`: all 5 checks are faithfulness/shape, NONE compares to scan); owned that 'graduated' oversold a converted-tier V-SCAN text (honest state, not legible; §V already mandates a conversion-record → process-not-run + labeling gap, NOT rot). **The confirmation pass (read scan-image vs OCR) is NOT in the pipeline** — stale 'no-validated-OCR-verification-path' assumption; verifier must FLAG-not-correct; olmOCR=local localizer, executor-vision=adjudication-assist, human=apex; local-models-balance-another = independence>capability, bounded-checks-local / high-judgment-frontier, training-a-judge=trains-it-to-agree. **A2 LANDED as spec v2.0.1** (REVIEWED-50; editor-gate PASSED; §2 bridging clause added distinguishing arrangement-honesty from §I's fidelity sense; v2.0.0 archived immutable). Committed **`34c39f1`** (Olson graduation + A2, pushed github + skemantix); dotfiles + CapableMind-AI also pushed; REVIEWED-50 short-draft on `~/Desktop` for the steward to place in `~/REVIEWED.md`. **PULLING THREAD: finish the REVIEWED-49 folding** — next = **A4+B(iii)** (scope-warrant FIX; scout finding: the collections-as-data / Santa-Barbara-P4 mis-citation is NOT in the live spec, only the research briefs → preventive/recording, computational-tractability wording only, scope-warrant = A2's §I preamble), then **A1** Agent/Nomen registry (read `retrieve.py` hot-path first). **Steward-decided: the verification-architecture question is the PRIORITY the moment the folding completes** → a `[PROPOSAL]` + model-plurality note (touches chamber + engine).

 - [Session 2026-07-06 evening — Olson GRADUATED; tool-integration audit; A2 pending](session-2026-07-06-evening-olson-graduated-tool-audit-A2-pending.md) — Completed the Olson graduation from the structure checkpoint: extended `insert_chapter_headings` (occurrence + MODE + **title-oracle** extent; first tests, fleet **46→64/64**; steward chose the MODE-column fork), built the ~73-row structure map, **removed a blank-page scan-noise region** (verified blank verso; whole-file `ocr_damage` was blind to it — a localized PASS-BUT-FALSELY), **graduated** → `canonical_texts/…/the-power-to-name-olson.md` (73 headings, both gates PASS, **0 body words dropped**), archived source + `source_verified`, catalogue 1293. Evidence-over-intuition: the naive normalize glue-fix over-blocks 288 lines (verbatim guard blind → PASS-BUT-FALSELY) → glue resolved at insert-time. Then a steward tool-audit **RETRACTED a misdiagnosed log entry** + chose **discipline-over-bloat** for the one real gap (`graduation-spec integrity.localized_scan_noise` + docstring fix); recorded [[feedback-completion-is-a-tripwire]]. (A2 SETTLED + FILED as PENDING-50 in the 2026-07-06 evening#2 session.)
