Closed the steward's reset thread; landed the v2.9.1 PATCH on REVIEWED-83 A1; discharged
both authorized-but-unexecuted Strokes (register split 166K->44K with 177 open proposals
readable, ladder 21->71 instruments); filed the PENDING-88 package + ruling + Addendum and
the ESCALATE differently-biased-checkers package; ran the Fool (Qwen 3.6 35B on the M4)
for two trials with a running log.

Harrison re-gate pilot broke the mechanism before converting a byte, and the
break was constitutional: tier_of() faithfully implements the ratified
evidence-tier table, which enumerates tiers by FORMAT, so 16 born-digital-PDF
canonicals with real ground truth receive a false ABSTAIN. Jurist design-gate
PASSED with two corrections (independence into the constitutional text, NOT by
analogy with V-TEXT which ruled the other way; the demonstration is of two
instruments and the second has no control). REVIEWED-83 placed by the steward.
Also: steward-facing maps given a durable home after one was lost and four more
found unbacked; memory pointers made home-anchored and self-diagnosing.

Two loose ends closed before the Harrison re-gate, both surfaced by the steward.
Memory pointers. Six links in MEMORY.md / MEMORY-reference.md pointed at files
that all existed, via hand-counted relative depths that resolved from neither of
the memory dir's two addresses (it is ~/dotfiles/claude/memory, symlinked from
~/.claude/projects/…). The wake canary detected this correctly FOUR times over
two days and the banked remedy was to change the canary's path resolution — i.e.
to silence a true positive. The defect was never the pointers: the alarm emitted
one undifferentiated word, MISSING, so every firing had to be re-diagnosed by
hand and the cheapest re-diagnosis is always "known bug". wake-digest.py now
reports four outcomes (ok / mis-authored / dead / non-portable), hands back the
exact replacement, and carries a regression control replaying this bug's shape.
Pointers are home-anchored (~/…), not absolute — steward's correction; absolute
hardcodes this machine into the repo whose purpose is surviving a machine change.
Maps. With the noise gone, one genuine dead pointer surfaced:
arc-current-state-2026-05-07.md, a live ARC dashboard the steward read to orient.
It lived only on the Desktop and went with a tidy-up. A census found four more in
the same condition, zero copies anywhere — including the Making-Sequence
architecture and reading list, load-bearing for current corpus work. The cause is
structural: code, session records and memories are durable; the one artifact
class addressed to the steward had no home. All five now live in maps/ and are
symlinked back to their exact Desktop paths (Desktop view unchanged), moved under
a checksum gate with a positive control. wake-digest.py reports stray Desktop
maps; it never moves them — the Desktop is the steward's.
How to verify:
python3 scripts/wake-digest.py --selftest # 28 controls, PASS
python3 scripts/wake-digest.py | grep -A3 'MEMORY POINTERS'
cd ~/Desktop && shasum -a 256 *.md # reads through the symlinks
What was not changed: ~/CLAUDE.md and REVIEWED.md untouched (Constraint #1). No
Desktop file was deleted or renamed. MEMORY-reference.md's May entry is marked
superseded, not rewritten.
Known limitation: maps/ has no successor for the ARC map's FUNCTION — the
open-work register carries the content, but nothing exists that the steward can
open and orient by. Named in the entry rather than quietly closed.

Session record, MEMORY.md promote/demote, versioned-releases tracker update,
5 KG drift-patterns. Corpus scope verified from a regenerated quality ledger:
952/1297 clean, 69 apparatus-defect, 11 pass graduation — the gap is
conformance, not content. Docling trial proved re-conversion recovers
addressable apparatus (96.5%->99.1%). Nine instances of one shape:
instrument-coverage-never-established.

Filed: session record + Symmetria ledger (11 returns), MEMORY.md demote-on-promote
(morning session archived verbatim to MEMORY-reference.md), 7 KG lines (4 drift
patterns incl. 'a check cannot be written in the medium of the thing it inspects',
1 good-direction, app-memory-as-second-cache, governance-mcp), 4 skill-harvest
proposals, canonical app-preferences.md in sync with the app as of this wrap.

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.

Diagnosed the "upgrade" as a 300-behind bge-m3 fork, not a standard install; the
morning "self-healed" drift was 108 chronic quarantines (data intact). Independent
46-transcript audit: search+KG not load-bearing (value migrated to files). Steward
decided (evidenced) to wind down palace-memory; execute fresh. KG exported to
knowledge-graph.jsonl (329 triples + 437 entities). Wind-down plan + BMF-lessons
report outline captured. Demote-on-promote; skill harvest appended.

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.
