[FIX] §9 dead text struck; PENDING-159 amended with the jurist's correction

The item's loudest claim was wrong: §9 does not MANDATE the provenance loss PENDING-153 recorded. Thistleweld's provenance was lost because nobody thought to record it; §9 mandates only that the claim be the steward's, and never addressed provenance either way. An omission being discovered, not a rule doing damage — which changes the remedy from amending §9 to clarifying it. Left visible rather than rewritten. Option 3 closed, and on better grounds than the item offered: not §11's shared formation, but that a jurist reading his output would ADJUDICATE it, collapsing the position into a fourth checker. 'The steward's judgement not to relay is not a bottleneck; it's the mechanism' — the item had treated it as a limitation. Option 2's unnamed cost recorded: a 'from outside' flag is itself a signal the reader responds to, so it does not preserve provenance neutrally. ⚠ Nothing built for the jurist view, deliberately: a marker with an implementation is a channel, and a channel is option 3 by the back door. Noted because the executor's reflex on reading it was to reach for a script. §9's 'executor or jurist yields the floor' struck to 'executor' per the jurist on their own draft — dead text, since there is no floor to yield where the fool cannot speak.

+### AMENDMENT 1 — 2026-08-25 — jurist view received; option 3 closed; and the item's own reasoning corrected
+
+*Received via the steward. A view rather than a ruling, since this is `[ESCALATE]`.*
+
+#### ⚠ (a) The item's reasoning was WRONG on the point it made most loudly
+
+The item said §9 *"now mandates"* the provenance loss that PENDING-153 filed as a finding, and called it *"a rule of the record's design"* where it had been *"a defect in the record's habits."*
+
+**Not so, and the jurist's correction is exact:** Thistleweld's provenance was lost because **nobody thought to record it.** §9 mandates that the *claim* be the steward's. **The provenance question was never addressed, in either direction.**
+
+**This is an omission being discovered, not a rule doing damage** — and the distinction is not cosmetic, because it changes the remedy: **§9 needs CLARIFYING, not AMENDING.** The item argued its way to a constitutional conflict that is actually an ambiguity in scope. Left visible rather than rewritten; a record that silently corrects itself teaches the next reader nothing about how the error was made.
+
+#### (b) Option 3 is CLOSED, and not for the reason the item gave
+
+The item flagged §11's shared-formation hazard. **The jurist says that is the wrong objection.** The right one:
+
+> *"I would then be reading his output as a jurist reads things: for whether it's apt, whether it bears, whether it should be carried. That is adjudication, and once his lines are adjudicated the position collapses into a fourth checker."*
+
+⚠ **And the clause that reframes the whole item:** *"The steward's judgement not to relay is not a bottleneck; it's the mechanism."* The item had implicitly treated the steward-only path as a limitation to be worked around. It is the design.
+
+#### (c) The loss is smaller than the item claimed — option 2 is ALREADY permitted
+
+§9 forbids citing him **as a source**; it does not make his existence unmentionable. *"This came from outside the trio"* is **a fact about provenance, not an attribution of the claim.** The claim remains the steward's, in his words, standing or falling on its own.
+
+#### ⚠ (d) A cost of option 2 that the item did not name
+
+> *"A line marked from outside arrives in front of me differently. I would weigh it differently — probably more heavily… Provenance-without-content is still a signal, and a signal I'll respond to."*
+
+**Recorded because it is not fatal and would otherwise go unstated:** option 2 does not preserve provenance *neutrally*. It introduces a flag with an effect on the reader. Anything measured through it is measured through that effect.
+
+#### (e) Where the jurist lands — a view, explicitly not a ruling
+
+**Option 2, narrowly.** A provenance marker **available to the steward, never required.** Not a channel, not a field, nothing systematic. If the steward happens to note that something arrived from outside, PENDING-89 gets a data point; if not, nothing is broken.
+
+> *"Making it optional keeps the steward's judgement load-bearing, which is the part that must not be automated away."*
+
+⚠ **Nothing is built for this and nothing should be.** A marker with an implementation is a channel, and a channel is option 3 arriving by the back door. The executor notes this explicitly because its own reflex on reading (e) was to reach for a script.
+
+**Awaiting:** steward. Option 3 requires no further consideration.
