For ARC typography work — don't re-ask where it lives. - [Fowler's rules for quotation](feedback_fowlers_rules_quotation.md) — single quotes primary, double for nested, logical British punctuation order. Apply across all writing. - [Canadian spelling in ARC prose](feedback-canadian-spelling-arc-prose.md) — centre/colour ("almost EU"); corpus "center" = autocorrect drift (10 files, cleanup open). Draft all steward-voiced prose in Canadian spelling. - [MemPalace KG object 128-char cap](feedback-mempalace-kg-object-128-char-cap.md) — `kg_add` `object` hard-caps at 128 chars; write KG objects as short keyword phrases on the FIRST pass, detail goes in the drawer. Recurs at every /wrap-up §5 — stop re-deriving it. - [Rank on fields you actually write](feedback-rank-on-fields-you-actually-write.md) — a consumer that ranks by an evaluative field (importance/weight) nothing populates silently degrades to trivial order while claiming to rank; verify scoring fields end-to-end, prefer signals already captured (recency). For BMF/CapableMind/studium-engine tool-building. - [Completion is a tripwire](feedback-completion-is-a-tripwire.md) — the *feeling* of "done" (esp. after fluent output) is the cue to verify the tail (census/gate/scan-check), not the signal to ship; the last 10% (where trust is earned or faked) is invisible from inside the first 90%. Ninety-Ninety Rule as a security property; a handle on the contamination-problem + τὸ πρόσφορον threads (steward 2026-07-06). - [Studium Engine charter](reference-studium-engine-architectural-charter.md) — the engine's constitutional doc at `studium-engine/docs/the-studium-engine-architectural-charter.md`. The inversion (reasoner-at-centre over a BOUNDED provenanced corpus); three cognitions; boundedness=trust; free-the-reasoner/tighten-the-verifier; CapableMind's governance thesis on a library. Read before building the engine. - [Studium Engine = Sixtus-V craftsman collaboration](feedback-studium-engine-sixtus-v-collaboration.md) — work the ground freely (steward describes vision; I build, surface only vision-forks); **constraint-candidates** = 3rd governed instrument (Bach principle: constraint unlocks mastery; *absence* of a constraint-proposal is itself a drift signal; I name, steward applies). Studium-engine only; heavier loop holds for L1/L2. - [Trust prior pass frame](feedback-trust-prior-pass-frame.md) — When extending a prior verification, re-run it at the scope of the extension. Frame-inheritance from a deep-read is contamination shape: the prior pass tested what it tested; your extension claims things it did not test. Caught 2026-05-28 → four-pass audit. Verify-before-compose at draft time, not build time. - [Verify each post type after changes](feedback-verify-each-post-type-after-changes.md) — ARC: after any shared CSS/template/composition change, check EVERY content type on BOTH desktop and phone, not a sample on one viewport. Lesson from §II.d gate verified phone-only → desktop appearance surfaced 2 sessions late (no regression; just unseen). Per-type×per-viewport extension of [[trust-prior-pass-frame]]; belongs in the SCSS verification ladder. - [Reading Compass is SVG, not type](feedback-reading-compass-is-svg-not-type.md) — ARC Compass sigils are SVG `` artwork, NOT Plex Sans / nav typeface / Pattern 3. Recurring conflation; steward corrected 2026-06-03. Plex-Sans nav *text* = breadcrumb + version-stamp + post-type only. - [MemPalace is an unaffiliated stopgap](mempalace-is-unaffiliated-stopgap.md) — MemPalace is third-party; steward/Seb build BMF/CapableMind (hoped to replace it). Don't conflate them (3rd steward correction 2026-06-05 — the conflation even reached a skill name and was retracted); MemPalace PRs await MemPalace's maintainers, NOT Seb. - [MemPalace wing-filter broken](feedback-mempalace-wing-filter-broken.md) — wing-scoped search → 'Error finding id' (upstream #1665, open at HEAD); search UNSCOPED + post-filter by wing. Don't run `repair` (#1589). Affects wake-up §2.b.3. - [Skill-harvest register](skill-harvest-register.md) — **canonical home for proposed skills** awaiting steward authorization; the governed analog of PENDING.md for our own tooling. **Full review 2026-06-05**: `bmf-diagnose` + `/pre-build-audit` AUTHORIZED (build-on-need); `/spec-code-audit` DEFERRED (first L1 audit); `/arc-typeset` REJECTED (superseded by §I.k build enforcement); `/vignette` still deferred (Phase 2); Symmetria §3 flags + verification-ladder BUILT same evening. - [Verification ladder](reference-verification-ladder.md) — the named instruments (byte-identical compile gate, delta classification, censused-routes, fresh-clone gate, measure-toolchain-before-spec…); reach for the gate the claim's shape demands instead of re-deriving. - [Plane coordination workflow](reference-plane-coordination-workflow.md) — **NOW CENTRAL to the steward↔Seb workflow** (est. 2026-06-02): `app.plane.so/capablemind`, BMF project, thin effort-tasks `[BM #N]` over canonical GH issues (effort-only, no technical detail; labels/priority mirror GH; issue attached as link). Executor keeps task state current as the 6-hour relay. ⚠ BBF = BetterBridge *product*, NOT the board. Plane MCP user-scoped/OAuth; load tools via ToolSearch `select:mcp__plane__*`. `create_work_item` needs `description_html`. - [Resurface banked notes before re-deriving](feedback-resurface-banked-notes-before-rederiving.md) — when an idea was already captured (runbook known_gaps, skill-harvest, prior note), READ the note before re-deriving; re-derivation drifts (page-numbers mis-recalled as provenance vs structure-scaffolding, steward re-corrected 2026-06-27). The engine's own purpose, turned on my practice. - [Tool review after each use](feedback-tool-review-after-each-use.md) — steward directive (2026-06-16): review every tool we built after each run (success OR failure), capture what it taught, iterate until reliable; PASS-BUT-FALSELY is the priority signal. Log at `chamber-library/_curation/tool-evolution-log.md`. Proven same day (audit_cruft hardening → 160 hidden-dirty files surfaced). - [Engine sources graduate to the permanent chamber](feedback-engine-sources-become-permanent-chamber-collection.md) — steward policy (2026-06-28): any work added for the engine ALSO becomes permanent chamber collection unless expressly stated; take it ALL the way (clean→verify→graduate→catalogue→sidecar); never leave staged. The chamber accumulates. ⇒ all ~30 Making sources graduate in. - [Notes are part of the work](feedback-notes-are-part-of-the-work-keep-footnotes-endnotes.md) — steward directive (2026-06-28): footnotes/endnotes are integral — KEEP+CONVERT them (``→`[^N]`), never drop on graduation. (Caught dropping Taylor's endnotes — wrong.) - [The maturation of the chamber — a dialogue](../../../../../_Dev/studium-engine/docs/the-maturation-of-the-chamber-a-dialogue-2026-06-28.md) — the pivotal 2026-06-28 exchange clarifying the chamber's telos: fidelity-without-trust, reading-is-unsolvable-and-that's-the-feature, language-as-notation, L2/engine=answerable-not-pure. Read when the thread touches the engine's purpose; companion to [[project-studium-engine-telos-chamber-of-voices]]. ## Canonical Workstream Trackers *Read the tracker for any active workstream at /wake-up before composing the briefing. Append substantive moves at /wrap-up. Per `feedback-canonical-workstream-tracker-discipline.md`.* - [MemPalace wind-down](project-mempalace-winddown.md) — **DECISION (steward, evidenced 2026-07-07): wind down the `palace-memory` MemPalace instance, rewire wake/wrap to the files layer; EXECUTE FRESH.** KG already exported+secured (`knowledge-graph.jsonl`, 329 triples). Typography palace KEPT untouched (separate instance). Staged plan + evidence in the file; audit detail in `session-ledger-2026-07-07.md`. - [ARC open-work register](project-arc-open-work-register.md) — **the single code-verified source of truth for what is OPEN on ARC** (post-Stage-G, built 2026-06-11). Read THIS for remaining work, not the chronological tracker or "Stage G is done." Open: A1 Vignette (F+1), A2 cul-de-lampe (§IV Close ornament asset, undesigned), content sweeps (glimpse location+titles, threshold-`---` walk, ornament migration), Phase-2/held set, REVIEWED-placement debt. Retire-on-confirm: the stale `project-arc-*-pending` files (breadcrumb/mimesis done; 404 built; apparatus-todo done). - [ARC](project-arc-rework.md) — canonical ARC workstream tracker (chronological record 2026-04-16 →). **Status: A–F · Stage M · Waves 0–3 · W3R · STAGE G DONE/SEALED (GPG `ac0a7ee`, 2026-06-10) — reactive mode governs.** Open work → [[project-arc-open-work-register]] (A1 Vignette F+1 · A2 cul-de-lampe · content sweeps · Phase-2 held set). Full chronological detail lives in the tracker file; the prior 8KB inline log was relocated to `MEMORY-reference.md` (2026-07-06 compaction). - Chamber-typography — *tracker not yet established*; substantive moves live in per-session memories (2026-05-11 onward) + `project-chamber-cruft-restoration.md` + `project-chamber-typography-mining-plan-2026-05-15.md`. - [ARC chamber v1-legacy cluster](project-arc-chamber-v1-legacy-cluster.md) — ARC's `content/chamber/**` is intentional v1-Chamber legacy (not drift); deferred to-do = gather into a presentable cluster as a record of development. Out of §5 clause-1 audit scope. Confirmed 2026-05-29. - [Studium engine telos — the chamber of voices](project-studium-engine-telos-chamber-of-voices.md) — **the ultimate goal, hold above the build plan**: David's childhood imaginary chamber of beloved hero-voices he took counsel from → enter into discourse with his library + have the voices converse amongst themselves, this time *accountably* (the engine's v1 was literally "the Chamber" — eloquent/unaccountable simulacra; this is the same ambition built grounded/citable/checkable). Why verbatim fidelity is load-bearing. - [Studium = CM's unfettered sandbox](project-studium-cm-sandbox-and-transfer.md) — Studium/chamber are personal projects Seb now sees as fundamental to CM; experiment freely on the library/engine without risking CM's runtime, breakthroughs transfer back (V2 verifier = live example). Steward-framed 2026-07-08. - [Making sequence source set](project-making-sequence-source-set.md) — **COMPLETE against the ReadingList as of 2026-06-18** (reconciliation-verified); census of what's sourced where, sourced≠ingested (only Pos I in manifest), the **Handke-German decision** (original is source), the Levi drop-cap gate. Read before any Making/studium source work. - [Source library — link + dedupe](project-source-library-link-and-dedupe.md) — steward's master ebook library = `~/Documents/___The Library [ePub_AWZ3]/` (2190 ebooks, 180k files, messy nested; pre-organized subfolders `_2026 chamber source cleanup/`, `tmp calibre library for the chamber/`). GOAL: link chamber↔sources (provenance index) + dedupe. Seed = the 2026-06-29 fuzzy source-matcher (→ `_curation/reconvert-queue-2026-06-29.md`, 24/34 found). Real link needs EPUB/PDF internal metadata + edition-identity check, not just filenames. - [Character-as-image hazard](feedback-character-as-image-hazard.md) — some EPUBs render transliteration diacritics (ḥ/ʾ/ʿ) and non-Latin script (Hebrew words) as INLINE IMAGES; the standard image-drop SILENTLY MUTILATES them (PASS-BUT-FALSELY — gate passes, words corrupted). Tripwire = audit_cruft md_image count; INSPECT a sample before dropping; character-bearing images = CONTENT (map→Unicode, never drop). Found graduating Alter's Psalms (356 glyph-images) 2026-06-29; Alter parked pending a philological glyph-map (needs steward's Hebrew). - [Sidecar typology — protocol-dependent reading-indexes](project-sidecar-typology-protocol-dependent.md) — TWO layers: `.meta.json` structural sidecar = PROTOCOL-NEUTRAL, the general standard now (the bar for "graduated"); reading-indexes (rich YAML) = PROTOCOL-DEPENDENT (chavruta=where-to-open / debate=stance-map / connection-surfacing=cross-text join-keys), probably PLURAL — **don't design the schema yet**; settle corpus to gold + let protocols declare themselves first. Steward 2026-06-29. - Studium Engine — *tracker not yet established*; substantive moves in per-session memories (2026-05-15→) + the seed brief + now the **[architectural charter](reference-studium-engine-architectural-charter.md)** (the constitutional doc, 2026-06-15). Steps 0–7 built; chamber corpus CLEAN (1280 canonical). **STAGE-1 REBUILD PLAN RULED 2026-07-04 night (`docs/stage-1-rebuild-plan-2026-07-05.md` @ d968241): next station = V0+N0 contracts together (V0 = verifier contract, JURIST-GATED — the one D-1 exception; N0 = tree contract, before any Loeb-extractor hands), then verifier-leads-with-interleave (V1→V2 multilingual gate→V3→V4; N1→N3). Pattern-finder outputs = unverified-candidates until V4.** Prior "next: L2 pattern-finder on Making" now sits behind the verifier. Collaboration = [[feedback-studium-engine-sixtus-v-collaboration]]. - [MemPalace 3.4.0 upgrade plan](project-mempalace-upgrade-3-4-0-plan.md) — **SUPERSEDED 2026-07-07 → [[project-mempalace-winddown]]. Decision is to WIND DOWN palace-memory, not upgrade** (evidenced: search+KG not load-bearing; the "upgrade" was really a 300-behind fork-rebase). Kept for history. - [L1 reliability](project-L1-reliability.md) — canonical workstream tracker established 2026-05-28 (Symmetria-pulse decision). Current state at top (updated 2026-06-06) + chronological log 2026-03-21→. **Status: BATON BACK — Seb replied 2026-06-13 (`cc25995` reply + `e2e94ab` cover note + `8f76bf2` benchmark-governance v1.1 §4.4, now in CM-AI local `main`). Steward set a brief L1 detour to engage it next session before returning to Studium Step 5.** **UPDATE 2026-06-29: N6 deploy (#175) LANDED LIVE and HOLDS — multi-day wedge gone (CPU 100%→~21%), A1″ migration finally live (vector_chunks 19→26 cols); evidence in 2 UNCOMMITTED CM-AI docs (l1-post-n6-deploy-findings-2026-06-23 + l1-state-summary-for-jurist-gwern-brief-2026-06-22). Tracker current-state is STALE (06-06, predates the win). Seb meeting 2026-06-30 15:00. PRIORITY-1 morning task: stand up CapableHands as a BMF clasp (43M) — scope at `CM-AI/…/clasp-on-capablehands-scope-2026-06-29.md`, solves PENDING-41.** mindfabric-00 root-caused (temporal chain path); PENDING-27 awaits jurist. Read tracker at /wake-up before composing L1 portion. - [Be (laundromat)](project-be-laundromat.md) — canonical workstream tracker established 2026-06-08 (Seb-relay of locked decisions). Be = Skemantix startup (Seb+David) funding CapableMind's funding-ladder; **bridge, not venture**. Decisions LOCKED: entity/exit (CapableMind decoupled, grant-funded), pricing (Living $12.99/mo · Archive $69.99/yr · Memorial $49.99/yr · Renovate ~$199 · $8.99 floor), CF Self-Serve Agency + versioned-template-package infra. **a11y gate MERGED (Pat 100/100/100).** Pre-revenue: the WTP gate = renovate Pat → charge her. **Discipline: stop adding spec until the gate clears → nothing for executor on be until then.** Repo @ `f43a0fd`. ## Active Session - [Session 2026-07-11→12 — footnote arc closed → program open-work register → into A1](session-2026-07-12-footnote-arc-closed-program-register-into-A1.md) — Closed the EPUB footnote recognizer + built the **END-TO-END VERIFY** (guarantee now *by verification, not by construction*; jurist-ratified FIX): after injecting, pandoc runs on original+injected, body-words compared, ANY non-marker change refuses+deletes. Executed the whole jurist ruling (**Q1a** ratify · **Q1b** mandatory+retroactive · **Q1c** POSITIONAL marker-exclusion, `e8eeea7` · **Q2** nested-block RETRACTED — pairs-but-converts-dirty, honest-refuse). Built (b) inner-anchor (916 notes +0/−0); **nagarjuna/nested-block/i-ching honest-refused** (PASS-BUT-FALSELY caught by the verify). **Q1b RETROACTIVE SWEEP:** 87 covered source EPUBs · 42 CLEAN · **45 DIRTY** (29 catastrophic false-pairing, 16 marker-adjacency) — **corpus SAFE (0 graduated)**; recognizer's reliable coverage ≈42/87. **THE BIG PIVOT:** steward named I'd lost the forest for the trees → built the canonical **Chamber→Gold→Engine OPEN-WORK REGISTER** (`chamber-library/docs/chamber-program-open-work.md`) from a 3-agent evidence census. Findings: **engine is fenced-to-verified-subset → NOT blocked on reprocess (parallel, ruled);** 1,284 canonical (mostly frontmatter-debt not corruption); keystone = enforce `body_word_conservation`. Steward corrected: **reconversion precedes frontmatter** (Loeb Region 4 subsumes ~952 of it). All chamber work pushed (`abada64`). **⚠ PULLING THREAD: A1 — the general `body_word_conservation` verbatim gate. START WITH THE ACCEPTANCE CRITERION** (distinguish legit front/ToC/index drops from real loss; consider comparing candidate vs a REFERENCE pandoc conversion, not the raw source) → build in `verify_graduation.py` → prove → surface as PROPOSAL. Small closeable: wire mandatory-at-graduation; register hygiene. **Steward owes:** place REVIEWED-55; the recognizer-maturity decision. Read `docs/chamber-program-open-work.md` (the standing forest view) at wake. ## Historical reference → MEMORY-reference.md Older archived-session pointers and the stable reference layer (steward profile · project-state detail · L1/L2/Chamber inventories · legacy pending-work · reference-file list) live in [MEMORY-reference.md](MEMORY-reference.md) — consult on demand; not loaded at wake. Recent cross-session trajectory comes from the Active Session entry above + the recent `session-*.md` files (wake §2.b.1; the MemPalace `handoffs` glance was retired 2026-07-07 with the wind-down). ## Index discipline (self-bounding — keep this file lean) Wake-loaded live index; hard budget well under the harness load ceiling. Keep to: Standing preferences · Canonical Trackers *as one-line pointers* (chronological detail lives in the linked tracker files, **not** here) · Active Session · these pointers. Rotation + budget-breach handling are wired into `/wrap-up` (demote prior Active Session on promote — never leave two) and `/wake-up` (truncated/partial load = flag loudly, trim before proceeding). Back up before restructuring. History: 285→157KB (2026-06-08, didn't hold); 213→~16KB (2026-07-06 split + ARC-slim + self-bounding wiring).
