PENDING-90 [ESCALATE] carries Constraint 6 into CapableMind's calibration loop —
the AdaptationChain records who initiated an adaptation but never who checked it,
and when authorization.required is false (the whole self-adjustment case) no
checker is in the record at all.
PENDING-91 [PROPOSAL] is the vignette Phase-1a design gate, leading with the
structural problem that the dwell-test is assigned to a jurist who cannot see
the render — third instance of the gap docketed at PENDING-86 and PENDING-82.
Session record, ledger, KG (+6: two drift-patterns, two preventions, the
Notre-Dame anchor, the superseded gitea diagnosis), and four skill-harvest
proposals. One FIX-lane application indexed (ARC CLAUDE.md freshness).

Ruling filed verbatim. Drafting authorized by the steward's placement of
REVIEWED-86; application is not, and ~/CLAUDE.md is untouched.
The amendment adds a second paragraph to Constraint 6 and replaces nothing --
both original clauses survive verbatim, the caution is refined rather than
relaxed, and the L2 deferral stands.
Both jurist conditions welded into the text that would actually land, not left
in surrounding commentary, since a future reader cites the doctrine block and
not the discussion of it. Q2: biases that fail to coincide do not cancel, and
the doctrine may never be cited as assurance something WAS caught. Q3: the
jurist and executor do not differ in formation, their separation is the weaker
kind, and neither the doctrine nor its evidence establishes that pair as a check
in the strong sense -- the doctrine naming the configuration that produced it as
the one it does not vouch for.
Steward ruled the open question on `Status: provisional` sitting inside a section
headed "cannot be overridden": retain it. Constraint 6 already carries a temporal
qualifier, so the section is not free of them.
Paste block prepared separately, indented to continue the numbered list. The edit
is the steward's: Constraint 1 names this file and sits under "cannot be
overridden by any session instruction", and the ruling states the steward's own
act is what nothing substitutes for.
PENDING-89 dockets the Q3 correlation review the jurist declined to leave
hypothetical, with the hazard named -- this is the executor measuring whether the
executor is checked, so criteria must be pre-registered and it may be steward-only
work.
Q4 folded into the existing REVIEWED-85 check-in agenda rather than given its own
cadence, per the ruling's reasoning that a new standing review produces another
unread register.
PENDING-86 amended with its third instance: the jurist could not reach
contamination-problem.md while gating an argument that turns on it.
Convergence question closed. The jurist inferred a common source; the steward
confirmed it -- the exchange was shared as context only, and Document A predates
it, so the jurist's language cannot have shaped the proposal. Neither
contamination nor corroboration.

REVIEWED-85 was placed by the steward at 10:41 today; the wake flagged at 10:44
that /wrap-up SKILL.md was still untouched since 2026-07-07. Landing it.
Precondition discharged first. The ruling states its own verification limit: the
jurist could not read the skill files, so the /wrap-up §1.6 and /wake-up §2.a
quotes underpinning Part III's "contradicts itself" claim were affirmed on
timeline evidence rather than checked. Required before landing was mechanical
containment-with-positive-control verification of exactly those quotes. Run:
7/7 contained verbatim against the live skills, 5/5 controls absent, instrument
verified.
§1.6 now carries the two-clause disjunctive test (the executor's own narrower
single-clause alternative declined at the gate as less safe), the hard floor with
its catch-all sharpened per Q4 and tied to the measured failure rather than left
as open judgment, and all three instruments as mandatory. The lane is provisional
pending the steward-jurist check-in.
The §Important-constraints line still stated the blanket rule the ruling narrowed.
Left alone it would have been a second live version of a governance rule inside
the file that forbids exactly that. Reconciled, with a note saying why.
First batch applied -- the four class-(i) proposals the steward raised 2026-07-29
and which REVIEWED-85 itself dispositions as batch 1, so their classification was
ruled rather than self-assessed: a `## What held` ledger section (the ledger could
previously only record debits), a `prevention` KG predicate capturing transfer
between failure classes, one wake line surfacing it, and the retirement of the
standing question's self-report framing in favour of the checkable form -- the
last on the grounds contamination-problem.md gives, that direct self-report is
the most contaminated form of inquiry.
The FIX-lane index is created and carries all four. It records explicitly what is
NOT in it: the §1.6 edit itself, which changed what the executor may do without
asking and was therefore PROPOSAL by its own test. A lane cannot authorize its
own construction.
Register rows 174-177 marked applied.
