+### THE THREAD MAP — the 58 open items, grouped for the week's planning
+
+*Derived 2026-09-20 from `PENDING.md` by the wake digest's predicate. ⚠ **The count is contested:
+58 by that predicate, 71 counting only `CLOSED`-in-heading — and PENDING-142 is the open item saying
+the criterion itself is wrong.** Use the grouping, not the total. Ages: median 34 d, oldest 182 d,
+16 older than six weeks.*
+
+**1 — The register cannot attribute its own amendments. ⛔ THE GATE.**
+`-146` (the convention — **rules everything else in this group**) · `-145` · `-110` · `-139`+AMD1 ·
+`-175`+AMD1 · `-185` · `-186`+AMD1 · `-144` · `-160` · `-170` · `-143` · `-183` · `-108` · `-164`.
+**Nothing here can be repaired before -146 rules**, and every amendment appended meanwhile joins the
+59. One steward sitting on -146 unblocks about fourteen items. **This is the highest-leverage hour
+available.**
+
+**2 — The ladder trial and the fool's measurement. ⏰ TIME-PRESSURED.**
+`-147` · `-178` · `-179` · `-152` · `-166` · `-167` · `-169` · `-98`.
+**The 84 crossing is six transcripts away and nothing watches for it**; on crossing it must be
+RECORDED with date and split, **not graded** (REVIEWED-134 cond 2). The **ladder-freeze 30-day review
+came due 2026-09-16** and is open. The **joint -178/-179 ruling also lapses REVIEWED-134's suspension
+early** — so one ruling discharges three obligations at once.
+
+**3 — Checker independence and the constitutional layer.**
+`-89` (**the Q3 correlation review — the falsifier for Constraint 6's own doctrine**) · `-90` ·
+`-140` · `-150` · `-153` · `-154` · `-151` · `-161` · `-181` · `-182` · `-78` · `-81`.
+Deepest and least urgent. `-89` is the one with a standing obligation attached: evidence against the
+doctrine is to be recorded **when observed**, not only when sought.
+
+**4 — The weight-delta toy. ✅ AUTHORIZED, ready to build.**
+`-187`. Slice 1, D7 minimal cut. **Fold in 09-20's finding:** the toy's ledger is *stronger* than the
+register it models (commits are not atomic per entry), and the design does not say so.
+
+**5 — L1 / BetterMemories. 🚧 BLOCKED, and the block is UNSETTLED.**
+`-94` · `-92` · `-93` · `-103` · `-10`. ⚠ **Seb's 2026-08-04 reply has still not been opened** — the
+"blocked on Seb" status has been unverified since 2026-09-11. **Reading one file could unblock five
+items or confirm the block.** Cheapest high-value act on this list. BetterMemories carries 3 dirty
+files on `fix/idle-ladder-service-mode-cool-descent`.
+
+**6 — Chamber / studium engine.**
+`-96` · `-97` · `-99` · `-100` · `-111` · `-176` · `-177`+AMD1 · `-91`.
+Dormant since 09-06. The fr cell is closed; the one-shot ratio is spent and must not be re-derived.
+
+**7 — Instrument and mechanism hygiene.**
+`-95` · `-109` · `-156` · `-165` · `-171` · `-174` · `-138`.
+
+**Outside the register, still owed:** 2 items marked BUILT that no ruling names (`-139`, `-177`) ·
+1 state claim now false (`claude-md-untouched-pending-150`) · 163 prose deferrals with **no
+machine-checkable trigger** · 2 corpus files unscanned (over the 400 KB guard) · parked worker
+`acaabadf` stopped but **ARMED** · 2 stray Desktop maps · **MEMORY.md at 96.9%, margin 774 B**
+(deliberately not trimmed — `-186` is the ruling that should decide how).
+
+🎻 **D821 due 10-01 — eleven days.** The register is not the only thing with a deadline.

 ### Pause statement
 
 I am about to be away from this, and the steward returns tomorrow to plan a week. What I want to
