memory: bundle accumulated 04-17/26 + lock ARC about-page architecture

Safety checkpoint before deep-audit Phase 0 of the ARC repo. Steward-authorized
commit-everything for rollback safety.

ARC architectural locks (2026-04-26 evening):
- Path 1 enfilade structure (separate Colophon and Lex items)
- 8-door enfilade locked: Colophon · Lex · Framework · Vignette · Attention ·
  Chamber · Tools · Now (+ Bio quiet link)
- Adsum and threshold-hic as two distinct texts on the reflowed About page
  (steward verbatim: "They are certainly not the same text")

ARC consolidation pass (canonical tracker project-arc-rework.md, +~700 lines):
fold 04-23 evening (Norris read), 04-24 (lex-method authored, posture cluster,
§XII Sidenotes, ARC CLAUDE.md cleanup), 04-25 (marks cluster, colophon-at-scale,
full Vico/Harrison lex-chain), 04-26 (chamber-library walk, cluster scaffolds,
canonical-tracker discipline surfaced).

Sibling-file integration: four 2026-04-26 frame files folded into the canonical
tracker (Integrations A/B/C/D) with INTEGRATED redirect notices retained as
audit trail.

New durable feedback memories:
- feedback-canonical-workstream-tracker-discipline (umbrella drift surfaced
  2026-04-26 by steward; proposes /wake-up + /wrap-up amendments)
- feedback-catalogues-stale-walk-trees (steward feedback on chamber-library
  catalogue currency)

Implementation plan drafted for the coming week: Phase 0 deep audit → Phase 5
cleanup, with steward additions on second pass (deep audit; Chamber v1 as own
browsable archive; clean rebuild of cluster sources rather than moving test
artifacts as canon).

Also bundled (untracked accumulation since 04-17):
- ~24 session memory + ledger files for 04-17 through 04-26 work
- ~10 feedback memories (BMF + ARC + working-method)
- 5 project memories (lex-as-method, strunk-white queue, plus today's four)
- 4 user memories (duality-rules, formation-practice, foundation-work, humic-layer)

Steward-side modifications also in this commit: ~/CLAUDE.md, bin/bmf-start.sh,
open-tasks.md, project-focus-april-may.md, session-2026-04-17 — all
pre-existing, not from today's session.

+name: Formation practice — reverence to deep teachers (including never-met)
+description: Steward's operative discipline for engaging with formative authors — "entering into discourse with authors as a mode of being taught." Load-bearing for how to read his humic-layer work, how to talk about sources, how to respect his framing of formation.

+# Formation practice — reverence to deep teachers
+
+## The practice
+
+Steward verbatim (2026-04-23):
+
+> *"I think it is always important to be reverential and grateful to one's deep teachers. Harrison is one such person even though I never met him. My way of dwelling in books, into entering into discourse with the authors, allows me to consider the ensuing transformations as being 'taught' by them."*
+
+> *"My writing is a pale shadow of his, but every day I endeavour to better my past self and honour the dead for the sake of the living and unborn."*
+
+## What this means for collaboration
+
+1. **Books-as-teachers is not metaphor.** The steward's relation to formative authors (Harrison, Alexander, Bachelard, Berger, Handke, Jaccottet, Vico, Leopardi, Sennett, Heidegger via Harrison, the rabbinic tradition, etc.) is a working discipleship. When he names a humic reference, he is naming a *teacher-relation*, not just a source.
+
+2. **The transformation is real.** "Being taught" means the ensuing shifts in thought, practice, and form are genuine pedagogical events. When he absorbs Harrison's concept-structure (e.g., "humic foundations" becoming ARC's "humic layer"), that's inheritance, not borrowing.
+
+3. **Reverence and gratitude are operative postures.** They shape how he writes humic references, how he credits sources, and how he relates to the work's lineage. For future Claude: match this register. Never treat a humic reference as decorative citation; it is an acknowledgment of formation.
+
+4. **The three-generational frame** — *"honour the dead for the sake of the living and unborn"* — is a version of the prime directive's durability and inheritability commitments. When decisions affect what ARC carries forward, this frame is operative.
+
+5. **Daily better-past-self** is a writing discipline, not a productivity mantra. It couples to the *travail bien fait* ethic (2026-04-23) and the compagnonnage lineage.
+
+## How this shapes future work
+
+- **When the steward names a humic reference**, receive it as naming a teacher-relation, not a bibliographic entry. The depth of the relation is unmarked in the spec prose but always present.
+
+- **When reading humic material** on the steward's direction (as with Harrison's *Dominion of the Dead* ch 2), read as if receiving instruction — the material is formative for the spec, not just evidentiary.
+
+- **When proposing edits to humic layers**, preserve the register of gratitude. Avoid language that frames sources as mere "influences" or "references"; prefer "formation," "humic ground," "teacher," "lineage."
+
+- **Harrison specifically**: the steward considers him a deep teacher. When Forests, Gardens, and Juvenescence are read (future reading-thread, not yet underway), the Hommage/Tombeau humic layers may deepen. Watch for the opening.
+
+## Related memory
+
+- `project-arc-rework.md` §"2026-04-23 addition (steward, walking with Kai)" — the values-embodied/travail-bien-fait posture that this formation-practice grounds.
+- The ARC typology spec's §1 "On humic references" preamble (added 2026-04-23) acknowledges Harrison as vocabulary source; the personal-teachership framing of this memory file is the deeper context behind that preamble note.
