- The 59 unattributable register blocks: ZERO name their parent in their own
text; all position-only. 37 cite only FOREIGN ids, so an id-keyed repair
would mis-file every one. The obvious automated repair is worse than none.
- PENDING-186 [PROPOSAL] filed + AMENDMENT 1: the 'silent failure' ordering
constraint is falsified (the harness warns at write time), and the real
defect is that our write convention routed around that guard.
- Claude Code's near-limit MEMORY.md guard is PATH-KEYED: 5/5 warnings via the
~/.claude symlink path, 0/2 via the real dotfiles path at a LARGER size.
Pre-registered and confirmed. MEMORY.md must be edited by the symlink path.
- PENDING-175 AMENDMENT 1: governance_item returning only the first block is
no longer predicted but REPRODUCED, located at governance-mcp.py:199-202;
the second defect is narrower than reported - it is a colon.
- Both amendments filed id+marker so they do not join the 59 they describe.

PENDING-185 [HARDENING] — a state-claim falsifier whose unit is the FILE where the claim's
unit is a change made UNDER PENDING-149. It fires at [ESCALATE] on every future ~/CLAUDE.md
edit and cannot be fixed by reading more carefully. Recommendation (b), retire and mark
manual-only, recorded as a LOSS rather than dressed as a fix.
The day's real yield is smaller and worse: the governance MCP server's enumerated FILES and
governance_search cover PENDING.md + PENDING-archive.md + REVIEWED.md — exactly the corpus
the executor sweeps. So jurist and executor agreeing on a register question is ONE CHECK
COUNTED TWICE, not two positions converging. Jurist-ratified. Recorded AGAINST Constraint 6's
falsifiability clause, as that clause requires, and banked for PENDING-89 / PENDING-140
rather than filed. Establishing it needed the executor's transcript AND the MCP file list —
reachable only from one of the two positions it describes.
'Ruling (B)' was a term with no referent. It entered from the jurist at 08:44:58 (measured,
65 records before the executor's first use) and twice acquired a false source — the steward,
then the executor — each asserted rather than read. Act on none of it.
Also: the steward's ~/CLAUDE.md annotation, placed by his hand after the executor declined
the jurist's instruction to place it (Constraint 1; a jurist sign-off does not authorize one).
First live exercise of the inbound-contamination clause, one day after it landed.

- PENDING-89: a docket entry for 2026-09-11 with an id-bearing heading, placed
inside the item's span (L449, checked against the PENDING-90 boundary). It
records the jurist's §6b disposition miss, caught by the executor, and the
Tamestit claim, which the brief's own 'unverified' label contained. Not
counted.

Session record, ledger, MEMORY.md rotation (prior Active Session demoted to
MEMORY-reference.md), OWED-6 queued against the frozen ladder, KG triples, and
skill-harvest proposal D.
N-now re-measured for REVIEWED-123 condition 2: 59, split 31 real / 28 mumble.
⚠ Not commensurable with the banked 36.9%, which used the one-prompt predicate.
The ladder pointer's 'direction has REVERSED / rising fast' clause is superseded
— it was a dated finding read as a status, and it contradicted the new figure in
the same sentence.
Cross-direction catch: the jurist grounded a condition on a positive control it
said was in the record; the executor checked first and found the specimen was
never committed. Self-reported immediately.
The datum is the jurist's own class-level naming of its mechanism, unprompted:
'I reach for the cheap confirmation and skip the check that would cost a turn.'
⚠ The count does not agree with the record. The jurist says third this week,
enumerating two prior; the banked record enumerates those two plus three more
from the same evening, making today the sixth. Neither statement carries its
enumeration and both draw on the same record. Recorded unresolved — the executor
does not pick, for the reason it did not pick between the partition's two figures.
Three self-reported and six enumerated are different evidence about whether a
same-direction pattern exists.
All six ran one direction and all six were caught. ⚠ Explicitly NOT cited as
assurance the structure works — Constraint 6 says a configuration can be
differently positioned and still miss a class no party can see. Standpoint
disclosed: written by one of the two parties under study.

The lapsed 2026-09-08 obligation, closed. Session memory, ledger, KG (7 lines),
skill-harvest proposals A and B, and the demote-on-promote of the 09-06 Active
Session block into MEMORY-reference.md.
Pulling thread: an unruled record is read as ruled — which is not a replacement
for the floor but what the floor cannot measure.

The re-measurement moved from a commit message onto the item it concerns. The
single-reader qualifier gets a wake-loaded home, since a standing caveat inside a closed
entry is read as historical. The floor rules provenance corrected — it arrived by being
caught, not by judgement, and should travel with the correction. The open questions
failure condition sharpened: firing on material the session itself touched is the
proofreading habit wearing a hit.
Also: MEMORY.md fr-cell line had accreted to ~1400 chars leading with a FALSE headline
(ONE STEP DONE THE SECOND BLOCKED) with two layers of correction appended after it.
Rewritten as a pointer, which is what the index discipline requires.

Traced rather than accepted. The 2026-09-03 reclassification rested on one
argument: the control's label says "a real session reads as WRAPPED
end-to-end", its sample contains no real sessions, therefore restoring the
population repairs it against its existing specification.
Read at source, the predicate is `"wrapped" in _v`. It does not restrict to
real sessions anywhere. Restoring the population repairs nothing: the test
passes on mumbles alone, and would pass on a correctly-populated slice in
which every real session failed. The defect was never the sample — the label
and the test disagree about their subject, and nothing that changes what
enters the slice reconciles them.
Sites 2 and 4 never had a quoted specification. Site 3's is contradicted by
its own implementation. Site 1 is excluded on receipt. Nothing in the census
is [FIX]-warranted, and whatever replaces the selftest is a rewrite of the
predicate against its label — larger than the act that was reclassified.
Withdrawn explicitly in three places rather than left to be superseded:
"sites 2-4 are [FIX], merely gated" is precisely the premise a later session
inherits without re-deriving. The archived Active Session block carrying it
is annotated in place, not edited — it is a verbatim record of what was
believed then.
Also:
- the selftest date question is RETIRED BY FINDING, not open. AMENDMENT 1
recorded it open; withdrawn. A test asking whether any transcript wrapped
has never tested its label since it was written, necessarily predating
mumbles, so the mumble is not its cause at all. Do not replay
wrap_events() git history for an answer that no longer discriminates.
- OWED-5 annotated: it catches empty-set vacuity only. The selftest had 13
files in its denominator and tested nothing about its subject regardless.
Wrong-subject vacuity is OWED-1's class and invisible to OWED-5.
- logged for PENDING-89: jurist and executor shared one miss in the same
direction — both read the absence of a stated rate as the absence of
urgency, and neither flagged the firing distance until N was measured.
MEMORY.md hit 314 bytes of headroom while carrying this and was condensed to
pointers after verifying every claim had a home in the item and the session
record. 22,263 bytes, 2,723 headroom.

Five corrections from the jurist on the wrap, two operational, plus one new
measurement that supersedes this session's own origin claim.
The correction that matters: the wrap credited the handover's ordering "at
every point it was load-bearing". The gate's POSITION held; its CONTENT did
not. Gate 2a as specified was one arm, one transcript, expected 0 — run as
written it greens, because 22 of 24 mumbles return 0. The finding exists
because the specification was replaced with independent whole-population
ground truth plus an unrequested must-not-flag arm. "Follow the handover" is
the wrong lesson and the more comfortable one.
New, and it supersedes the 2026-09-03 origin record: the failing selftest
control does not test the claim on its label. Measured live on the actual
_tx[-14:-1] slice — 1 real session, 12 mumbles, and verdict `wrapped` comes
from 1 real session and 4 MUMBLES. The predicate `"wrapped" in _v` is
satisfiable by mumbles alone, so it would pass with zero real sessions in
the slice. OWED-1's wrong-subject family, inside the control that was meant
to be evidence about mumbles.
Still open, and recorded as open rather than reframed again: the date of the
control's first failing run. The archive reconstruction is not sound for it.
Operational for the next session:
- unbundle the two acts, suspension first; the git init is a steward call
and may wait, while the suspension has a firing distance (65/84)
- the suspension MUST carry a replacement bound in the same act —
REVIEWED-123 cond. 2's bound IS grading at 84, and suspending grading
removes exactly that bound
Also: gate 2c's narrowing limitation moved into the item, since the item is
what gets ruled on.

OWED-5: a must-detect control must report its denominator, and a denominator

The wrap's own findings, none of which were the session's subject:
PENDING-168 ADDENDUM 1 — the /wrap-up §1.6 FIX lane is PROVISIONAL until a
steward-jurist check-in that its own index calls due. Batch 1 closed 2026-08-02;
29 days, no check-in, and one executor-classified FIX applied past the boundary.
The deferral machinery reported "5 tracked, none due" because nobody ever gave
the check-in a DEFERRED-DECISION block. Filed one with a past trigger; the
drift-check now reports 1 of 6 COME DUE. Proved by readback.
PENDING-104 ADDENDUM 2 — two live executors today, detected by neither. A
sibling session read an mtime, worked out this session was concurrent rather
than previous, and stopped rather than write to PENDING.md. The wake digest had
drawn the opposite inference from the same fact.
MEMORY.md: the Fool line asserted NOTHING WIRED — false on all three clauses;
statusLine has been running tarbuckle-body.py for six days. Ladder N-now is 44,
not 51, and falling. Both verified against the substrate, not relayed — the
sibling's counts were off in both directions.
Today's one harvest candidate filed as PROPOSAL rather than applied, on the
lane's own suspension rule, and it corrects a banked proposal's mechanism: a
required-section check derived from the SKELETON constant cannot detect the
drift, because SKELETON is the copy that is wrong.

The jurist design-gated the six-item record-keeping block and returned it not
passed, on three counts, all now discharged:
1. The package's frontmatter asserted the jurist has NO repository access.
False — PENDING-161 (open, [ESCALATE]) had said so two days earlier, and
the false premise generated the package's whole relay architecture.
2. Cluster membership was set by relay; the root was never run back across
the register. PENDING-143 states 145's mechanism in the same words.
3. Part V's argument for not drafting the answer key does not survive: a
hand-read key cannot pass by construction, and a block-keyed key collapses
safely into an id-keyed one under the opposite ruling.
Ruling filed verbatim BEFORE any act under it — PENDING-108 (c)'s ordering,
first adoption. Its own 10-package clock now starts on that package.
Filed: PENDING-166 (mumble legibility), -167 (seam cap 12, provenance stated so
it is not laundered), -168 (condition 3's structural remedy + the fourth-instance
doctrine, explicitly NOT added to the frozen ladder), -169 (the steward's standing
Tarbuckle dispositions, recorded because they existed nowhere else), -170 (the
built-vs-ruled tags cannot be armed while REVIEWED-128's header names no PENDING).
Amended PENDING-162 (the fortnight is compromised for the seam limit only),
PENDING-89 (the fool is not a fourth checker, by ruling as well as construction),
PENDING-104 ADDENDUM 1, PENDING-165 (option (c)'s blocker discharged),
PENDING-142 (the key's hash), PENDING-131 ADDENDUM 4 (Move 2 dispositioned).
PENDING-104 ADDENDUM 1 resolves an anomaly the jurist reported and declined to
explain: two of its tools disagreed on line numbers by exactly 23, because the
executor inserted a 23-line note while it was reading. The executor's filing
silently corrupted the checker's view of the executor's filing.
Two of the steward's eight asks were already discharged (PENDING-160, the §9
strike) and were reported rather than duplicated.

Session record: the record did not contain the decision.
Filed: PENDING-163 (+3 amendments), PENDING-164 (jurist-drafted, placed verbatim,
+ executor addendum and build record), PENDING-165 (+1 amendment). Rulings
REVIEWED-130 and REVIEWED-131 placed by the steward.
Built: preserve-transcripts.py (PENDING-147 (i), 43 transcripts read-back proved),
two pre-commit fixes, the hook-directory allowlist in governance-drift-check.py,
and prior-art.py + the prior_art MCP tool (PENDING-164 (c)+(d)).
The finding: a steward decision that rewrote seventeen commits of history
(chamber-library 0677e8a, retiring LFS) is absent from the entire authorization
record, so both AI parties independently recommended adopting the mechanism it
retired. governance_search over 313 items returns one hit; grep over the raw files
returns zero before today.
Six self-referential instrument failures and three false zeroes, one of which was
caught before it was believed — and the only reason was that the jurist
pre-specified what the instrument had to return.
MEMORY.md rotated (prior Active Session demoted verbatim, checked for carried
claims first). 6 KG lines incl. one genuine transfer: the 2026-08-25 lesson about
declaring a limit rather than manufacturing a column fired unprompted on a
different instrument in a different item. One skill-harvest proposal, whose subject
is that today's own build ignored the routing table measurement it had open.

gap, at the jurist's direction), PENDING-161 (a false premise in a placed ruling), and
PENDING-151 amendments 1 and 2.
Active Session rotated. ⚠ The demoted block carries a deliberately-preserved false claim —
the stale STEWARD OWES line, marked by a live STATE-CLAIM and agreed as next session's
first act. Carried forward explicitly in the new block and the marker's claims: text
updated to name its new home, so the rotation did not discharge it as a side effect. That
trap is filed as a /wrap-up §3 patch proposal in the harvest register.

Session state, memory index, KG and the Symmetria ledger. Carries the steward's own
placement of REVIEWED-127 off-disk — preservation, not modification: it was found
staged during the wrap by §6.5's own guard, which is exactly the case that clause
exists to catch, and the answer was benign.
Verified rather than assumed at placement: the placed ruling is byte-identical to the
executor's draft, 3,523 bytes both sides. No drift between a ruling's subject and its
artifact — the PENDING-82/86 class, checked because it is cheap and because this record
already notes that class recurring inside a ruling.
The draft file is SUPERSEDED IN PLACE rather than deleted: it is now a parallel version
of a canonical record, and an unmarked parallel version is the context-rot failure. It
points at REVIEWED.md and says not to edit it. Both PENDING items updated from "drafted
for steward placement" to placed — a line that went false the moment the steward acted.
MEMORY.md 22,368 bytes, prior Active Session demoted verbatim into MEMORY-reference.md
on promote. Fool tracker rewritten: it named a superseded workstream (trial 09,
re-aim) and now names Tarbuckle, the sealed artifacts, and the honest state that
NOTHING IS WIRED. N-now 51.
KG +6: three drift-patterns (vigilance did not prevent the failure it was vigilant
about; filed a non-defect as a defect twice in one direction; a control fixture pointing
at a file the session was editing) and two preventions (recusal preserved the only party
able to answer; censusing 24 occurrences stopped a blanket replace from destroying the
distinction the fix existed to create).

Tested the question the wrap left, the same night. It is not answerable as
posed, and the reason is the finding: the corpus is 244 Symmetria ledger
entries, every one written by the executor about its own errors. Counting
them is mechanical; the corpus is testimony. The question satisfies
/wrap-up's prefer-the-checkable-form rule in letter and fails its purpose,
and was posed while quoting that rule.
Banked as feedback-checkable-question-over-self-authored-corpus, with the
test to apply before leaving any question: who authored the corpus it
reads, and would a different author have written it differently?
What the record does support, on a narrower query that turns on what
entries literally say: three events name a disclosed limit as the cause of
a correction, and across all 244 entries none attributes a catch to
difference of formation or bias. Constraint 6's mechanism is difference of
bias; the record's is disclosure of scope. Suggestive at n=3.
A secondary observable for input-dependence-01 follows from that — does
the Fool's output ever bound its own coverage — and is recorded as OFFERED
AND NOT TAKEN. It must go in before the jurist's gate or it is an
observable chosen after seeing the run's shape, and editing a live artifact
awaiting gate is the move this session spent the day refusing.

Wrap amended after it was written, because the thread moved.
PENDING-146 filed at steward direction: the open list's unit is the id, the
decidable unit is the ## block. Upstream of everything PENDING-142 reaches, and
worse than a wrong verdict because the verdict is right.
Corrects my own report to the steward: FOUR blocks under PENDING-131 carry a live
Awaiting (parent, ADD-1, ADD-2, ADD-4), not the two I named. The jurist ruled on
that testimony while explicitly disclosing it had not verified ADDENDUM 1; running
that one check overturned the count. The disclosure was the instrument — no
control was pointed at it.
The answer key's specification changed before the key was drafted: it must be
keyed on ## BLOCKS, not ids, recording per block whether a live Awaiting exists
and at what tag. Keyed on ids it would have reproduced the unit that caused Class
E and graded green.
Resumption point revised and superseding the wrap's: three live options, steward
stopped tired without picking. (A) Move 2, closable in one sitting, no ruling,
and it is the fence itself. (C) Move 1, the emission-side fence over all 532
spans. (B) the answer key, session-sized. Recommendation absent a preference:
(A) then (C).
KG +3: the census-of-what-I-looked-at drift pattern; the disclosed-scope-limit
prevention; and the unit-of-a-pre-registration catch.

Session record, ledger, index rotation and KG appends for the day the
instruments were audited and lost.
Filed: PENDING-142 (open/closed criterion answers an adjacent question) with
three addenda, PENDING-143 (carrier restoring PENDING-121 by hand), PENDING-144
(script-resident substrate claims are checked by nothing), PENDING-145 (a ruling
claims a NUMBER, not a record — PENDING-131's addenda suppressed on arrival, and
the unbuilt fence has never appeared in the open list).
Executed: REVIEWED-122 conds. 6/7/9-as-amended/11 and REVIEWED-123 conds. 1/2/3.
N-now recorded at 60/84 transcripts. Ladder frozen generally; 4 rows queued in
PENDING-141's owed-entries list, two of them earned today (mtime-is-not-content-age;
verify a bulk edit against the pre-change state from git). OWED-4 flagged as a
REWORDING to merge on lift rather than append beside.
Index rotated: prior Active Session demoted verbatim to MEMORY-reference.md,
new one promoted. MEMORY.md 20,242 bytes (83% of the 24.4 KB read limit) —
under budget but the restructuring task remains owed.
KG: 7 lines — 4 drift-patterns, 3 preventions, including the DEGRADED banner
catching its own author's regression and a confound filed against the executor's
own favourable evidence.

The 41 S2 ladder rows are authorized and unblocked, and appending them triples
the verification ladder from 20 entries WHILE a pre-registered trial measures
whether the ladder is reached (baseline 14%, graded at 84 transcripts). Ladder
SIZE is an uncontrolled variable in that design. /wake-up froze its own trial
line for exactly this reason; nobody froze the ladder's contents, because
nobody had noticed they were a variable.
⚠ MEMORY.md was actively pushing the next session into it — 'ALREADY
AUTHORIZED … needing execution not a ruling', 'unblocked'. True as to
authorization, misleading as to consequence. The index line is amended in the
SAME commit as the filing: a finding that leaves the misleading line standing
is a note, not a finding.
Recommendation (a) HOLD until graded — the null action, in force by default
while the item is open.
Also captured for the clear: the tooling menu the steward asked to leave OPEN
for wake-up (wrap_inside three-valued fix, recommended; S2 batch now blocked;
engine retrieval PENDING-97), and one micro-instance of the week's finding —
my first probe searched the legend format and returned 1 row against the true
41, nearly reporting MEMORY.md as stale when the probe was the defective
thing.
The truncation and the unclosed fence are both resolved; A3's binding rule is
ratified and quoted verbatim in corpus/v2-stratum-tags.yaml.
⚠ Banked: a governed record's own FORMATTING can make an entry invisible to the
check that guards it while the check reports clean. The re-paste indented the
body but left the heading at column 0 — had it indented the heading, RE_HEAD
would have stopped matching and the amendment would have vanished from
register-integrity with no alarm. Third instance in a week of a check whose
subject sits adjacent to the property that matters.
The post-wrap article discussion produced a doctrinal finding that would
otherwise have died with the transcript. Captured before the steward clears.
PENDING-140 [ESCALATE] — Constraint 6 grounds oversight in bias-difference
(formation; role/information/incentive). Across two sittings in one arc those
were IDENTICAL and only substrate access changed: without governance_read keys
the jurist ruled on executor testimony and its own A4 was false; with them it
returned three defects in one sitting. Proposed third axis: independent access
to the primary substrate. ⚠ Filed, not acted on — n=1 per condition, self-
reported, and authored by the party whose checking is under discussion, whose
effect would be to credit an intervention that reduces scrutiny of its own
testimony. The strongest objection (access is implicit in 'difference of
information') is named in the item so it is not the jurist's to discover.
~/CLAUDE.md NOT edited and must not be by the executor.
Secondary: contamination-problem.md is a theory of the GLAZING flavour, while a
crude probe puts our 235 drift-patterns at 86 literal-genie / 12 trickster /
8 glazing (129 unclassified). Classifier is the very defect PENDING-139 names.
Session record, ledger, index rotation and KG appends for the day PENDING-134
closed end-to-end. The finding worth carrying: a verification control passed
truthfully and licensed a false claim, because its subject was transcription
while the claim was an inference over the quoted rows.
Index: 2026-08-13 Active Session demoted to MEMORY-reference.md on promote;
MEMORY.md 18,945 bytes against the measured 24,400 limit.
⚠ Steward owes on resume: place REVIEWED-121 — AMENDMENT 1 (draft in the
transcript, conformed to the one heading form the register check can see).
Next session deliberately elsewhere and lighter, by steward direction.
Register censused and rebuilt from the archive: 177 claimed -> 154 real live
proposals, legible, with exact archive:L### pointers. The 2026-08-01 compaction
was lossless but illegible (55 scraped header rows; 95% of cells cut mid-word);
completeness verified 124 = 124, so nothing had been dropped.
Skills pruned 63 -> 12 after measuring that 53 had never been invoked across 64
sessions / ~5 months. The finding underneath: retrieval is set by a capability's
HOME, not its importance -- MEMORY.md 83%, register 77% (named in a wake step),
ladder 14%, 'THE GOVERNING FRAME' 12%, 'Read at Step 0' 9%, recall-bound skills 0%.
PENDING-112 filed, jurist design-gated, steward concurred; REVIEWED-95 drafted.
Landed: the /wrap-up 1.6 filing gate (prospective) and the /wake-up ladder
sentence (a pre-registered trial intervention, landed alone). The 20-session
falsifier is WIRED, not intended -- DEFERRED-DECISION ladder-ritual-trial,
trigger: transcripts 84. Wiring it exposed two defects in the deferral checker:
no way to express a session count except as a date proxy, and a scan that never
looked at claude/governance/. Controls 16 -> 19.
Stroke 2's 41-entry ladder append deliberately NOT done: REVIEWED-95 Q3
sequences it after the ladder trigger, which now exists.

Governance: the register could not answer 'how many rulings do I owe' (23, not the
digest's 26). Seven decisions that existed only in a narrative are now placed, five
of them reconstructions carrying provenance lines. PENDING-99/-105/-106 closed (106
by split). PENDING-108/-109/-110/-111 filed.
Engine: retrieve.py accepts a sentence (27b79ca). 26 crashes -> 0, MISLOCATED 0,
FALSE-POSITIVE 0, HIT 0/22 — the engine now grounds nothing honestly, and 0/22 is
recorded as the number to beat.
PENDING-111 + jurist package: fidelity_equivalence@3 erases Alexander's invariant
rating, found by the steward reading his printed copy. Relayed for ruling.
Next session step 0, steward-directed: the MEMORY.md trim (19.9 KB vs <17.1 KB
target; relocation not deletion), then N1.

Filed this session: PENDING-99 (quoted tier accepts 3 of 17; jurist package,
ruling, REVIEWED-87 drafted), PENDING-100 (footnote reference marker routed
chamber-side from Q2). PENDING-86 fully dispositioned — governance-mcp gains
chamber-spec/graduation-spec keys and governance_search; its structural pass
found REVIEWED-11/-12/-74 hidden from item_spans by indentation, which the
steward unindented (78 -> 81 items visible).
check_containment.py carries a new named limit: containment is not sufficiency.
Session record + KG appended (10 triples: 4 drift-patterns, 3 preventions, plus
the runbook and quoted-tier facts).

Census 02 run entire on the seven instruments census 01 left uncensused. The
firing record divides by whether a human is in the invocation path. The engine
was asked a question for the first time and certified that Levi has nothing to
say about the grey zone, over ten gray zone matches in his own book.
PENDING-95..98 filed together; 96 authorized and landed same session on the
jurist's sharper wording (mine reproduced the overclaim one size down) and
kept OPEN — retrieve.py has no test at all.
Pulling thread REVISED at wrap after the steward punctured the first version:
"the sources are not golden... a cycle of engine-missing-x / source-not-golden
/ no-bounded-scope". The break was already in project-chamber-versioned-
releases, unread since 2026-07-28 — purpose choice and corpus scope are ONE
decision. Verified at wrap: 13/13 engine shas match disk. The thirteen are not
the 1,297, and the criterion is stability, not quality.
Skill harvest: 4 proposals (a /census skill, two Symmetria §3 flags, and a
/wake-up patch earned at a measured cost of ten days — a tracker marked THE
GOVERNING FRAME should be read entire, not as its MEMORY.md pointer).

Filed PENDING-92 [HARDENING] idle ladder (cool/deep unreachable, spec §9A.1
divergence), PENDING-93 [PROPOSAL] event_seqs normalisation, PENDING-94
[ESCALATE] the resume floor — minCursor pinned at 0 by two non-participating
modules, so 13/13 restarts rebuilt from seq 0 and the catch-up branch has
never executed. Recall never worked either (retrieval_count = 0 across the
whole April-June graph); same fact from the other end.
Adds scripts/l1-replay-sampler.py (external read-only sampler, four positive
controls, refuses to run blind). Note to Seb pushed separately as
CapableMind-AI@ad285df.
