From db72524b2e178dfc30a216f213f34e69f13f3ad4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David F Glidden Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 10:35:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drafts: steward resolves both flagged divergences (role title, divorce date) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit "Principal ethics architect" is correct, and co-author besides — so the preferences carried the right text and ~/CLAUDE.md L27 is the stale record. The executor does not edit that file (Constitutional Constraint #1); the replacement line went to the steward with its line number. Worth recording which way this fell: the conflict resolved in favour of the document with NO instrument watching it. governance-drift-check.py covers CLAUDE.md and nothing covers the preferences, and the uninstrumented document was the accurate one. Continuous maintenance buys currency, not authority — the memory-layer rule, confirmed against a case that could have embarrassed it. Divorce signed 30 March 2026, closed. Recorded as a completed past event rather than a pending one: a date on a finished act is inheritable, where a date after "awaiting" decays into a false present.
