No live-state/spec-state gap exists. **To relay to the jurist at next exchange** so the record sheds the stale premise. The inheritance clause landed as a subsidiary convention of the existing §2.8 (ARC `4e89337`); the build check ships with Stage-G enforcement (roadmap W5). Awaiting steward REVIEWED entry.

 **Jurist's flags — discharged:** (1) Census run against live source, not memory: SIX enfilade-hidden carriers (the four renderings inherited the flag), not two — the +6 arithmetic held regardless; verified in the diff: exactly bio, cv, and four renderings added, nothing removed, 245 → 251. (2) Class precedent recorded at the site.hs rule AND in spec §SEO: enfilade-hidden hereafter means "absent from the door-strip" and nothing more.

 ## Causal claims about running systems ("X is what's pinning the CPU / blocking the loop")
 - **Sampling-profile gate** — name the hot path by measurement (process sample / SIGUSR1→CDP CPU profile) before naming the culprit; log shape suggests mechanism but does not prove it (circle-forward read as a retry queue from log census; profile + code read showed fire-and-forget and the pin elsewhere entirely — temporal; 2026-06-06). Corollary: write the inferred-vs-measured split explicitly in any outward claim — when the profile overturns the lean, sharpening costs nothing where retraction would have.
 - **Exit-code-over-tail gate** (2026-06-06): never read success from prettified command output — `git push 2>&1 | tail -1` rendered a REJECTION as the soothing fragment "...and the repository exists." Check `$?` (or let the tool surface stderr whole) before claiming a push/deploy landed. Caught same-session; the byte cost of `; echo exit=$?` is zero.

+- **Corpus-census-the-premise gate** (2026-06-07): before an enforcement transform ships, grep the corpus for the premise's counterexamples — the §I.k.b em→en rule's "never uses it" was false for exactly one fixed convention (the Chicago `———.` bibliographic repeat, 2 carriers), and it mangled Sources blocks for three days because both the build and the audit verified the rule-as-stated, not the premise-against-the-corpus. One grep would have caught it.

+## Render-gate comparisons ("the steward rules on render")
+- **Element-census the comparison page** (2026-06-07): before spending the steward's eye, verify the offered page actually carries the element under judgment — the first hr-gate page offered had zero bare `<hr>` (its dots were an ornament, identical in both builds); the steward saw no difference because none could exist there.

Wave 2 ran complete in one sitting, Wave 3 in the next — the audit's whole reconciliation-and-fix program landed, deployed, and live-verified in one day, with the steward ruling on render twice and catching two defects my verification had not.
+
+## Past — what we did
+
+### 1. The four verdicts + steward calls (opens the second sitting)
+- **PENDING-30 CONCUR** + required amendment (condition 1 demonstration requirement — auditable artifact, not internal judgment) + observes-nothing specificity (localStorage-of-reader-choice passes; beacons fail). **-31 CONCUR** (Component-2 scoping note REQUIRED before executor instruction — the ~30-line estimate superseded, ~300–400 lines migrate as typed Haskell; diagram drops "browser, runtime"; light-dark() pairs assessed an *improvement*; dwell-test unchanged). **-32 CONCUR conditional — condition found PRE-DISCHARGED on verification: the jurist read a stale frontmatter spec** (live §2.8 has carried work:/translator: with the jurist's own language since `e2866da`, 06-05). **⚠ TO RELAY to the jurist** so the record sheds the stale premise. **-33 APPROVED + steward ruled (b) in-session** (AskUserQuestion): exemplar → *The Ethics of the Reply* (live, reader-verifiable); `edition_label` dropped from the §6 example, field retained. **REVIEWED-32..35 on disk** (steward filed during the session).
+
+### 2. Wave 2 — spec reconciliation, COMPLETE (13 commits `7d9bad3`…`b394a42`, one per spec file)
+- All ~20 §E stale passages + all 8 §D amendments + doc repairs landed. Postures carries **banish-JS** with both jurist amendments; **essay-versioning promoted OPERATIVE (built scope, named)**; **vignette Part II is build-time**; frontmatter §2.8 class-inheritance (PENDING-32) + W1.12 field dispositions (4 pruned with measured reasons; sequence_slug/order_roman documented; "of V" latent defect recorded → sequence_total derived at build, still W3-future); typology reading-guide trued ("draft sketch" had outlived authoring by three weeks); enfilade ratified to the live seven in both specs; toolset A4 corrected (writerSectionDivs OFF/HELD).
+- **W2.5 verification note**: 20 stale-marker patterns grepped to zero; the sweep caught TWO items the per-file pass missed (Appendix-A root AUDIT marker; A7 born-dormant prose). **W4.1–W4.3 closed alongside** (their content was the rulings + these edits). The corpus is **jurist-readable**.
+
+### 3. Wave 3 — the [FIX] batch, COMPLETE (`947d81c`…`69d1c4a`, deployed twice, live-verified)
+- **W3.0 render gate** (variant built + served localhost vs live): **W1.4 RULED — the differentiated hr doctrine**: steward's formulation *"dots at the threshold between foreword and main text; silence within the body"* — not a monster but the masters' norm (Bringhurst beginnings-vs-resumptions; Tschichold/Penguin ornaments-at-openings) AND §IV's own Quantitative-governance clause anticipated it; the "contradiction" (J9) was one element (`<hr>`) asked to carry two roles. Threshold dots ride `.ornament` (~213 corpus uses already conform); within-body `---` = silence. **Zero CSS change — the shipped rule became the ruled rule**; §IV amended; the `<hr>` content audit's rule is decided (per-piece promotion walk, steward-paced, new content track). **W1.8 RULED: 0.04em SC tracking** (the §I.i.j table's Bringhurst-grounded value; 0.03 was unruled drift; 7 sites moved).
+- **W3.1–W3.4**: F1 mobile auto-hyphens retired (+ explicit `hyphens:none`); F2 `text-wrap:pretty`; F3 reduced-motion block; F4 skip-link + `id="main"`; F5 § anchor 24px; F6 seasonal boundary; F7 ⟐-before-✦ (3 templates); F8 ligature exclusion (kern restated — feature strings replace, not merge); F9 debug putStrLn ×3; F10 orphan partial deleted; F11 both `class: essay meditation` → `about`; W1.10 **the last `<script>` removed — zero JS byte-true**; W1.7 chrome colours palette-derived (paired theme-color grounds; TileColor #8B3A2A); W1.9 $plex-sans-scale deleted; W1.6 recent.html killed (404 live).
+- **W3.5**: full delta classification vs the pre-wave manifest — **every difference in a pre-stated bucket** (CSS token arithmetic exact; all-pages = the four template changes; sitemap byte-identical). Deployed + live-verified.
+
+### 4. The steward's render-review coda (W3.6 + W3.7 — the day's best catches)
+- **W3.6 (`9af5a60`)**: steward caught Sources rendering `– – – .` — the §I.k.b em→en transform (live since 06-04) was converting the **Chicago 3-em-dash bibliographic repeat** dash-by-dash. The rule's premise ("ARC English never uses the em dash") was false for exactly this fixed convention; neither the 06-04 conformance nor the 06-07 audit caught it because both verified the transform *against its rules*, not the rules *against the corpus*. Fixed: run-exemption (≥2 consecutive em dashes pass verbatim, quoted-matter doctrine family) + boundary guards + multilingual §3.2 exemption note; both corpus carriers byte-verified; prose dashes unregressed.
+- **W3.7 (`69d1c4a`)**: the skip-link went through three forms in one afternoon — bare reveal (ugly) → nav-register card (steward: "out of place… bring the how into the whole") → **steward-ruled silent form**: visually hidden on ALL platforms + `tabindex="-1"`; conformance rests on the landmark structure (ARIA11 sufficient technique) — honest because ARC's nav lives in the *footer*, so one Tab reaches the reading; the link is screen-reader generosity in the house's register, which is silence. §III.b amended, supersession recorded. Frontispiece carries neither by design (threshold page).
+
+## Present — mood / returns (ledger merged)
+
+- **The steward's eye out-performed the pipeline twice**: the transform over-reach and the skip-link's foreignness. Both were *premise* failures, not execution failures — the audit verified rules-as-stated; the steward read the page. **Lesson (KG'd): an enforcement rule built on a "never occurs" premise needs a corpus census of the premise before it ships** (one grep on 06-04 would have found both `———` carriers).
+- **Render-gate lesson**: the first comparison page offered (After the Reply V) carried zero bare `<hr>` — the steward saw no difference because none could exist. *Census the comparison page for the element under judgment before spending the steward's eye.* (Both lessons appended to the verification ladder.)
+- **W2.5's mechanical sweep caught my own two misses** — the expect-zero pattern census out-performed the per-file editing memory, again.
+- Decision-speed followed verification-depth all day: thirteen commits of spec text and eleven of code, none reverted (the skip-link iterations were ruling-evolution, not error).
+
+## Future
+
+### Pulling thread (singular — STEWARD-SUPERSEDED at wrap)
+**Wake into BE.** The steward closed ARC for now and named the next move: *"we dip our toes into be."* The be repo (`~/_Dev/be`) is **31 commits behind, unpulled — Seb's launch-posture arc unread for three days**: `LAUNCH.md` ("stop building spec, close this"), **pattern language v3** (Alexander-style generative grammar), Astro template dogfooded on Sheila, Pat ruled first reno target, tenant-repo naming settled. First move: `git -C ~/_Dev/be pull`, then read LAUNCH.md + the pattern language *before* forming any view.
+
+### Actionable resumption point (as of wrap — re-judge against what changed)
+All repos clean + pushed (ARC `69d1c4a` deployed + live; dotfiles pushed at this wrap). Nothing mid-flight. First moves: (1) `git -C ~/_Dev/be pull && git log --oneline -31` — has Seb moved beyond the 31? (2) Read `LAUNCH.md`, then pattern language v3, in that order (his framing first). (3) Hold the steward's funding-frame in view (be = the laundromat funding CapableMind; growth-discipline cap formula; hours ⚠ still TO SET).
+
+### Other open horizons (ranked)
+- **ARC parks at a clean station** — Waves 0–3 + 3R-Stage-1 closed; corpus jurist-readable; zero JS. Next ARC station: **Wave 3R** (SCSS re-partition Stages 2–3 — gates Stage G; `!important` re-census first: 56 at audit, −retired +3 a11y) → W4.4 multilingual sign-off (rider on Stage-G read) → Wave 5 enforcement → **Stage G**. W1.15 + §VII.f ride their build session.
+- **Steward-paced ARC content tracks** (non-blocking): the threshold-`---` promotion walk (NEW, per W1.4 — *The Obligating Word*'s first break is the seen candidate) + EXIF batches (~139).
+- **Relay to jurist**: PENDING-32's stale-copy premise (recorded in the PENDING status entry).
+- **L1**: baton still with Seb; PENDING-27 awaits jurist.
+- **Basic Memory verdict** — fourth displacement; name it or schedule it.
+- **Parked observation**: `content/pages/docs/CLAUDE.md` (Jekyll-era) compiles to `_site/docs/CLAUDE.html` — deferred-content-audit territory.
+
+### Pause statement
+I am about to be away from this. ARC closes its biggest single day — the audit's whole program executed, the house byte-true to its own postures, the steward's eye proving twice why the loop is load-bearing. I don't know what will have changed when I return: Seb may have moved again in be, or answered on L1. What I want to find still pulling is the *be* threshold — Seb's pattern language finally read, his LAUNCH.md framing met on its own terms — with ARC resting clean behind us, owed nothing until Wave 3R.
+
+### Literal question for next-Claude
+**What does Seb's LAUNCH.md actually ask of us — and has he moved beyond the 31 commits while we were closing ARC's waves?** Sub-checks: any L1 reply from Seb? Does the be pattern-language v3 change the aldine-derivative (fork-once) plan the steward pushed on 06-06?
+
+## Decisions deferred (and why)
+- **Wave 3R** — fresh-session-sized by design; the `!important` census must precede `@layer`.
+- **sequence_total derived at build** (W1.12) — recorded in frontmatter §2.2, not yet coded; rides the next ARC code session.
+- **PENDING-32 build check** — ships with Stage-G enforcement (W5), per the jurist's own sequencing.
+- **threshold-`---` walk + EXIF** — steward-paced content judgment, deliberately not executor work.
+- **Basic Memory verdict** — displaced again by the day's ARC arc; deliberate carry, fourth time — flag if it displaces a fifth.
+
+## Skill harvest (per §1.6)
+- **No skill create/patch/retire proposals.** Two instruments appended to the authorized verification-ladder reference (its standing purpose): *corpus-census-the-never-occurs-premise* and *render-gate-pages-must-carry-the-element-under-judgment*. The wake/wrap/symmetria skills performed as designed; the register's two PROPOSED patches (wrap §5 KG-mirror, wake §2.b unscoped-search) remain awaiting steward — unchanged.

 - 10:30 — **roadmap-from-audit-only**: the Road-to-Stage-G first draft sequenced only audit findings and silently dropped the pre-audit horizon's SCSS re-partition Stages 2–3 (the horizon's own Stage-G gate). Caught by the steward's question "anything open lost in the cracks?" — returned by reading `arc-horizon-2026-06-03.md` against the roadmap and restoring Wave 3R + the parked register. Drift shape: *a new plan derived from a new instrument inherits only the instrument's view; pre-existing opens need a deliberate sweep.*
 - 09:50 — **mega-finding escapes refutation**: tracer I-core packed a code-gap ($plex-sans-scale) inside a single spec-stale-labeled finding, so it bypassed the refuter stage (which filters on verdict). Caught at synthesis; re-verified by hand; lesson baked into the /spec-code-audit skill ("one claim per finding; scan mega-findings by hand").
 - 09:55 — **count-precision**: my EXIF spot-check (135, narrow pattern) vs refuter's 139 (full pattern) — recorded both rather than silently adopting either; the verify-counts-two-ways shape, honored.
+- 13:40 — **W2.5 sweep caught two incomplete items in my own pass**: the Appendix-A root-token AUDIT marker (the missed half of P1.9/P1.10) and A7's born-dormant passages (I'd updated the Appendix-D row but not the §I.k.c prose). The mechanical stale-marker sweep (20 patterns, expect-zero) caught what the per-file editing missed — same lesson as censused-routes: coverage claims need the census, not the memory of having edited.
+- 12:30 — **jurist's PENDING-32 condition verified before composing**: the jurist ruled from a stale frontmatter spec ("ends at §2.7"); the live §2.8 already carries work:/translator: with the jurist's own language verbatim. Measured before editing; condition found pre-discharged; relay queued. The trust-prior-pass-frame discipline pointed the other way for once — at the jurist's pass, not mine.
 
 ## Open horizons

+- 07:40 — §VII.f running head: measure before view (spec conditions vs template reality) — steward's look-at-together; no unilateral fix. *(12:00 — ruled this morning: W1.2 BUILDS, CSS scroll-driven, after Waves 2–3.)*
-- 07:40 — be repo 31 commits behind (Seb's launch-posture arc, incl. LAUNCH.md + pattern language v3); pull before reading.
+- 07:40 — be repo 31 commits behind (Seb's launch-posture arc, incl. LAUNCH.md + pattern language v3); pull before reading. *(12:00 — verified with fetch: still exactly 31; unread three days running.)*
 - 07:40 — Basic Memory verdict displaced twice; reschedule deliberately this session or name the carry.
+- 12:00 — *Second sitting (wake after ~1h pause).* REVIEWED.md ends at -31: **no jurist verdicts on PENDING-30..33 yet** → Wave 2 runs W2.1–W2.3 only; **W2.4 text HELD** pending -30 (Postures wording) + -31 (vignette Part II). Do not draft W2.4-dependent spec text before the verdicts land.
+
+- 17:30 — **steward's eye caught a transform over-reach the audit missed**: §I.k.b's em→en rule (live since 06-04) was converting the Chicago 3-em-dash bibliographic repeat (`———.`) to `– – – .` in Sources blocks (2 corpus carriers). The rule's premise — "ARC English never uses the em dash" — was false for exactly one fixed convention, and neither the 06-04 build nor the 06-07 audit's tracer caught it because both verified the transform *against its stated rules*, not the rules against the corpus. Lesson: *an enforcement rule built on a "never occurs" premise needs a corpus census of the premise before it ships* (`grep '———'` on 06-04 would have found both carriers). Fixed same hour: run-exemption in the transform + multilingual §3.2 exemption note.
+- 16:00 — **render-gate page lacked the element under judgment**: offered the steward After the Reply V for the hr comparison — a page with zero bare `<hr>` (its dots are an ornament, identical in both builds). The steward saw no difference because none could exist there. Caught by inspecting the page's compiled HTML when the steward reported it; lesson: *census the comparison page for the element under judgment before spending the steward's eye*. Recorded in the roadmap's W3.0 note.
+
+## Authorization moves (afternoon — Wave 3)
+
+- 16:10 — **W1.4 RULED on render** (steward): the differentiated doctrine — dots at thresholds via `.ornament`, silence within body ("I want my cake and eat it too" → not a monster; Bringhurst beginnings-vs-resumptions; §IV's own governance clause anticipated it). **W1.8 RULED**: 0.04em. Both folded into spec + code (`947d81c`).
+- 17:00 — **Wave 3 closed**: F1–F11 + W3.4 rulings-become-code; delta-classified (every diff pre-stated); deployed; live-verified (zero scripts, paired theme-color, recent.html 404, .04em ×12). New steward-paced content track: threshold-`---` promotion walk.
 
 ## Confidence to recalibrate
 
 ## Authorization moves
 
+- 13:45 — **PENDING-33 steward authorization + (b) calls taken in-session** (AskUserQuestion): pass authorized; exemplar → *The Ethics of the Reply*; `edition_label` drop-from-§6-example. **Wave 2 executed complete**: 13 ARC commits `7d9bad3`…`b394a42`, pushed; status updates appended to PENDING-30..33 (dotfiles, uncommitted — wrap §6.5 carries it); REVIEWED-32..35 drafts handed to steward (executor cannot write REVIEWED.md).
+- 12:10 — **Jurist ruled on PENDING-30..33** (steward-relayed in chat). -30 CONCUR + required amendment (condition 1 gains demonstration requirement; "observes nothing" specified: no reader behavior observed, no data collected, no side-effects beyond reader-initiated choice — localStorage font-size passes, beacon fails). -31 CONCUR (Part II diagram drops "browser, runtime" from Component 3; **scoping note on new Component 2 required before executor instruction**; dwell-test gate unchanged). -32 CONCUR conditional on §2.8 self-standing — **condition found pre-discharged: jurist read a stale spec**; live §2.8 (e2866da) already defines work:/translator:; remaining = inheritance clause + build check, one commit. -33 jurist approves truth-up; **steward call on (b) exemplar + edition_label still open**; steward authorization of the pass itself pending. → **W2.4 hold LIFTED** for -30/-31; REVIEWED entries not yet on disk (steward's to record; executor cannot write REVIEWED.md).
