8abfe88's message read "PENDING.md split 1848→430 + archive", but the archive was
never staged: that commit deleted 1,532 lines from PENDING.md and pushed the
deletion without its destination. The 74 closed governance items survived on disk
and in history only — recoverable, but absent from the record the remote carries.
The commit claimed an integrity it had not enacted.
Verified before committing, not after: every line of
PENDING.md.bak-2026-07-28-pre-split is accounted for in
(PENDING.md UNION PENDING-archive.md) at line granularity — no regex, no parser
notion of "item" — with a same-run positive control (a sentinel absent from the
union must be reported missing) per the Q2 epistemic standard. Three baseline
lines are absent by intent, all in the file header: the stale `Repo: bmf` and
`Branch: fix/replay-durability-contracts` pointers (that branch merged as
c9746ae; HEAD is main — the staleness was flagged in PENDING-78), and the
`Protocol:` line, reflowed. That header rewrite rode along inside 8abfe88
unmentioned; it is logged here rather than left silent.
Second fix, same class: the header asserted "the next item is PENDING-80" while
79, 80, and 81 all exist. Replaced the stated number with the rule that computes
it — a number goes stale, a rule does not.

PENDING-76 remanded by jurist — required count returned 0 of 11 (the package's own
IV.2 refinement proved its target category empty); executor recommends withdrawal.
PENDING-77 (5 structural defects) and PENDING-78 (.app preferences) released by the
ruling from needing it. Drift check reports contradicted state claims at every wake
and corrects nothing — detection needs no authorization, correction does.
MEMORY.md compacted 20.5KB -> 17.1KB (budget hook); prior Active Session demoted to
MEMORY-reference.md. CLAUDE.md and REVIEWED.md untouched.

REVIEWED-75 (kind-scoping the verification criterion) placed by the steward.
PENDING-75 -> spec v2.7.0 landed with both required corrections (V-SCAN's
distinct criterion preserved; the anti-bypass guard rebound to the property).
PENDING-72 -> spec v2.8.0 landed (voice-purity as the engine-consumable bar),
mechanism built test-first, backfill executed 18/1, gate wired, single-reading-
pass designed. Plus the source_lines FIX: producer + 11 consumers in one
change-set, then corrected again when the base-rate sweep found splitlines()
also wrong (308 lines' disagreement on one canonical).
Ledger records the session's sharpest return: the sweep caught a fix one commit
old, because ratifying a convention by comparing two implementations is
SELECTION, not derivation — I verified the two disagreed, never that either was
right.

- PENDING-56 (canonical format + sidecar) + PENDING-57 (verbatim gate) filed and carried
through the jurist rulings; REVIEWED-55/56/57 filed.
- REVIEWED-drafts-for-filing: the paste-ready records.
- Symmetria session-ledger: the full A1 -> schema-lock -> B2 -> verbatim-gate arc.

PENDING-50 ruled+landed; new session memory + index fold (demote-on-promote) + Symmetria ledger returns/open-horizons for the A2 close and the parked verification-architecture question.
