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.

/wake-up PATCH — substrate-check the briefing's backlog section. REVIEWED.md's
"If AUTHORIZED: build X" clauses record what was AUTHORIZED, never what was
DONE; the same holds for a PENDING item's Awaiting line and any tracker's next
steps. Earned: the wake reported REVIEWED-72/73/74 as authorized-but-unbuilt
when TWO were already built and landed, and the wave reported as blocked was
already unblocked. The patch requires verifying against the substrate (code,
spec header, repo CLAUDE.md) and marking each item verified/unverified —
because the wake briefing is the highest-leverage place a false claim can land:
it shapes the steward's picture of their own project before any work begins,
and arrives with the authority of a status report.
/field-divergence-sweep CREATE — the standing probe for one value computed in
more than one place. Core: derive the rule from what a CONSUMER must do, never
by picking the surviving implementation (comparison is selection, not
derivation); enumerate and test the shapes where each candidate happens to be
right (complementary-correctness defeats sampling); collapse to one imported
implementation; migrations RECOMPUTE rather than adjust; land
producer-then-consumers in one change-set with a byte-diff proof.
Grounded in the proven source_lines run rather than recall, including the
failure the skill exists to prevent — it found the field computed two ways,
then both ways wrong, then the third wrongness inside a fix committed an hour
earlier (lintott off by 308 lines).

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.

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.
