 **Still NOT done:** target pulse not fetched, no bones, no soul, `~/CLAUDE.md` untouched (PENDING-150), nothing built of §8/§8a/§9.
 
 **Awaiting:** nothing blocking. The next act is the beacon at 2026-08-25T12:00:00Z.

+### AMENDMENT 3 — 2026-08-22 — REVIEWED-125 + AMENDMENT 1 placed; the beacon run is AUTHORIZED
+
+**Placed `38c4866f`, both remotes.** REVIEWED-125 (L1968) ruled PARTIAL on this item as it stood before v2; AMENDMENT 1 (L2031) reconciles it against v2. **The original entry is unaltered** — verified byte-identical, the single git-reported deletion being only the `\ No newline at end of file` marker. Amending by replacement is the defect the register-integrity check exists to catch.

+| disposition | state |
+|---|---|
+| §8 measurement (4.2/day, range 1–53) | **AUTHORIZED as evidence**; burst defect is in the draft, not the reading |
+| §8 hard daily cap | **REJECTED twice, independently** — quota-exhausted state (jurist) · budget-spent state is memory (v2) |
+| §8a body/voice split | **AUTHORIZED**, conditional |
+| §8a cond. 1 — `statusLine` free | ✅ **DISCHARGED** — not set in any of three settings files |
+| §8a cond. 2 — body must RENDER silence | ⚠ **GOVERNS over v2 §8a.** A static name is furniture-blind; variation from time or nothing, never content |
+| §5 five axes | stand; PROCEDURE not adopted; **ratified by steward**, recorded in `FOOL-SEED-RULE.md` §1 |
+| `input-dependence-01` | **HELD AT THE GATE, not parked** (R-125 status) + **re-derived, not resumed** if revived (v2 substance) |

+Against `claude/governance/fool/seed/FOOL-SEED-RULE.md`, pulse epoch-ms `1787659200000`, retrieval `https://beacon.nist.gov/beacon/2.0/pulse/time/1787659200000`, via **curl** (python urllib cannot reach the host here).
+
+**Binding on execution:** run **ONCE**. On any failure — bug, crash, wrong pulse, or a pulse still unavailable after the 24-hour retry — **STOP and report**; do not retry on executor authority. Pass `outputValue` **exactly as served**, never normalized by wrapper, shell step or hand edit before it reaches the single normalization point at `derive_fool.py:79`. Record `outputValue` the moment it is fetched, before running anything, so the same-pulse-re-run / later-pulse-new-draw distinction stays available. Post-derivation record in a **single commit**: raw beacon value, seed string, SHA-256, resulting stats, and the commit hash of the filed rule.
+
+### Owed, non-blocking, after the beacon
+
+1. **§8 proportions** — R-125 requires them pre-registered and hardcoded, no cap. v2 leaves the mumble at *"low, fixed"* with **no number**. Live and unmet; rides with the mumble-hook answer (clock-governed, event-checked, residual burst sensitivity declared; daemon alternative **costed, not dismissed**).
+2. **`[FIX]` 'abandonment' → 'retirement'** throughout the fool's doctrine — deliberately after the beacon so no edit touches the filed rule before it fires.
+3. **§8a body design** satisfying cond. 2 — variation derived from time or nothing, never content; §3's bar on sprites and animation frames unaffected.
+4. **PENDING-89** — write in explicitly that the buddy fool contributes zero by construction; open the v1 Chamber archive read as its own `[PROPOSAL]`.
+
+⚠ **Carried forward as structural, not as an aside:** the jurist could not read the filed draft and ruled on steward-supplied text, leaving `9aceed7f…` unverified from its side. **The ruling's subject was the pasted text, not the filed artifact.** They match here — the executor diffed a duplicate paste and both bodies hashed `72af4115…` — but that check was available only because it happened to be run, and is unavailable to the jurist at all. **PENDING-82 / PENDING-86 recurring, now inside a ruling.** No remedy ruled; it belongs to PENDING-82.
+
+**Awaiting:** nothing. The next act is the beacon.
