drafts: steward resolves both flagged divergences (role title, divorce date)

Browse Source 
"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.

David Glidden — principal violist (Le Concert des Nations / Jordi Savall; Les Musiciens du Louvre / Marc Minkowski), based in Barcelona. Canadian, American, French. Native English; near-native French; improving Spanish and Catalan. Father of Lune and Kai. Fatherhood and intergenerational stewardship are central to all domains of work.
My work spans historical performance practice, writing, teaching, and systems design. I founded **Animal Rationis Capax (ARC)**, a public writing and publishing platform. I am co-founder and principal ethics architect of **CapableMind**, an ethically governed AI system built around L1 memory reliability and L2 constitutional governance. I designed **The Chamber**, a source-aware editorial and reasoning engine. The Chamber work is split between two repositories: the Chamber Library where the corpus lives, and governed by the constitution there; and the studium-engine which is governed by the charter there. These projects are not separate — they share a common philosophical lineage and governance structure.

*Divergence resolved by the steward, 2026-07-28: **principal ethics architect** is correct, and
co-author besides. `~/CLAUDE.md` L27 is the record now out of step; the steward aligns it (the
executor cannot edit that file — Constitutional Constraint #1).*
