Session record, memory updates and KG appends for the evening session.
Filed: Control Kernel v1.0 (frozen, superseded) and v1.1 (governing); the
reduction arm and its two censuses; CONTROL-A and its defect twin with a
bidirectionally-gated ledger; trial 04 (CONTROL VOID) and its pre-registration;
correlation 01 — the first measurement of Constraint 6's own falsifier, jurist
4-of-6 and Fool 0-of-6 with no overlap.
New feedback memory: removing a claim is not the same as removing the reliance on
it. Earned by finding that draft 3's "fix" to CONTROL-A had CONCEALED a defect
rather than closed it — invisible to me, the kernel and four gates, found by a
differently-formed reader.
Verification ladder: the discrimination gate — a check must return different
verdicts on two REAL artifacts, one with the property and one without.
6 KG lines: two drift-patterns, one good-direction, two preventions, and the
Constraint 6 first-measurement.
Executed under the 2026-07-19 skill-harvest FULL REVIEW Stroke 2, authorized and
unexecuted for six weeks: "ALL earned ladder entries queued in this register … append to
reference-verification-ladder.md with provenance, kin merged in the same pass."
49 open ladder-kind entries were queued, not the ~25-30 the Stroke estimated. The
authorization is by extension ("ALL earned"), not by count, so the larger number does not
exceed it — but the count is corrected here rather than left to imply the estimate held.
Kin merged into existing claim-classes where one existed (output-equivalence, coverage,
build/render, toolchain, numeric, remote/persistence, extension, causal). Seven new
claim-classes added for families with no home: gate-design, grounding and citation,
provenance and re-anchor, governed-document changes, test-harness, estimates, structure
recovery.
The largest new class is gate-design — "the gate would have caught that" — which is the
family this practice has earned most often and had no name for: the gate itself passing
falsely, method-class versus calibration, coverage never attesting order, positive tests
at the enforcement path, and today's addition, that a control must sit at the layer the
defect lives in.
Two queued rows were not folded here: Stroke 3 already ruled /measure-render and
/clone-test-runtime-fix skills rather than ladder notes, so they remain build-on-need
rather than being silently absorbed.
21 -> 71 entries, 11 -> 18 sections, 7,493 -> 21,225 bytes. Every pre-existing line
preserved. Detail and origin for each entry remain in skill-harvest-archive.md.

Basic Memory v0.21.6 first sync over the live memory dir (steward-authorized
live-dir trial, Option A 2026-06-06): adds permalink: to frontmatter, refolds
long YAML description lines, strips final newlines. Bodies untouched —
verified via full diff classification. From this commit forward, any diff in
claude/memory shows only what Basic Memory or the session writes.
Trial design: MemPalace untouched as incumbent; git status check on this dir
at every wrap; end-of-day evaluation (recall quality, sync robustness,
rebuild-from-files, malformed-file behavior).
