# Claude Code Memory

## Standing preferences
- [CapableHands standing authorization](reference-capablehands-standing-authorization.md) — M4 mini david@10.0.1.136 durably authorized for remote OCR/inference; don't re-ask permission to use it (steward 2026-07-01).
- [Every canon doc's source lives in Chamber Sources](feedback-resolve-source-through-chamber-sources.md) — a canonical's source = whatever `resolve_archived_source` returns (the **Chamber Sources** folder; NEVER the master library or a path in a plan/doc/frontmatter); read the banked source record before calling a mismatch a defect; fix wrong/missing pins to golden standard. (Steward, 2026-07-24, after 3 corrections on the Levi omnibus source.)
- [Governance files are dotfiles symlinks](reference-governance-files-are-dotfiles-symlinks.md) — `~/PENDING.md`/`~/REVIEWED.md`/`~/CLAUDE.md` → `~/dotfiles/…`; Edit/Write refuse to write through a symlink, so **edit the real dotfiles path** when appending PENDING/REVIEWED.
- [Typography palace — query via CLI](reference-typography-palace-cli.md) — type masters (~20-21 sources) in a dedicated MemPalace at `~/.mempalace/palace-chamber-typography`; query `mempalace --palace <that> search "…"` (CLI). For ARC typography — 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.
- [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.
- [Shorter, concentrated sessions](feedback-shorter-concentrated-sessions.md) — steward preference (2026-07-13): shorter but very concentrated — ONE tightly-scoped high-leverage bite taken all the way, then wrap; hold the rest as ranked horizons.
- [Constitution-as-block, then pull-based corpus](feedback-constitution-as-block-then-pull-based-corpus.md) — steward discipline (2026-07-14): finish the **constitution as one block FIRST**, THEN corpus-into-spec **pulled by what each engine phase needs**. **Bounded question → bounded answer; don't surface N new threads**; keep open-thread count LOW. Above [[feedback-shorter-concentrated-sessions]].
- [Close thoroughly — no frequent deferrals](feedback-close-thoroughly-no-frequent-deferrals.md) — steward directive (2026-07-16): **frequent deferrals ARE how the cloud accumulated**; close ALL of a block that's closable-now; distinguish closable-now vs genuinely-blocked (**name the specific dependency**, never a vague defer). Completeness complement to [[feedback-constitution-as-block-then-pull-based-corpus]].
- [Checkable claim surfaces bugs](feedback-checkable-claim-surfaces-bugs.md) — insisting on a checkable claim (number, substrate-fact, discriminating test) over a soft classification repeatedly EXPOSES a real bug; the demand for verifiability is itself a defect-detector. Steward-named 2026-07-13. (Caught F-5 + the "finally" overclaim, 2026-07-17.)
- [Completion is a tripwire](feedback-completion-is-a-tripwire.md) — the *feeling* of "done" is the cue to verify the tail (census/gate/scan-check), not the signal to ship; the last 10% is invisible from inside the first 90%. Ninety-Ninety as a security property (steward 2026-07-06).
- [Studium Engine charter](reference-studium-engine-architectural-charter.md) — the engine's constitutional doc (`studium-engine/docs/the-studium-engine-architectural-charter.md`): reasoner-at-centre over a BOUNDED provenanced corpus; three cognitions; boundedness=trust. Read before building the engine.
- [Studium Engine = Sixtus-V craftsman collaboration](feedback-studium-engine-sixtus-v-collaboration.md) — work the ground freely (I build, surface only vision-forks); **constraint-candidates** = 3rd governed instrument (I name, steward applies). Studium-engine only; heavier loop 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.
- [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.
- [Skill-harvest register](skill-harvest-register.md) — **canonical home for proposed skills** (governed analog of PENDING.md for tooling). **FULL REVIEW RULED 2026-07-19, all four strokes** (⚖ block at top is authoritative): §3 consolidation BUILT · ladder batch-append + register compaction = next housekeeping slot. **`/jurist-package` BUILT 2026-07-20 (proven 2×); `/model-handoff` BUILT 2026-07-22** (charter-before-premium-switch; grounded in the stage-1-planning-brief exemplar) · `/graduate-chamber-source` hold-condition now MET (one-door lane RULED, v2.3.0 operative). **Register compaction + ladder batch-append = next FRESH-session slot** (register exceeds read caps — tripwire fired 2026-07-22 wake). **Patch BUILT 2026-07-20 (steward-authorized): `/jurist-package` — "trace a ruled finding's inference, not just its words" (Load-bearing disciplines; 2× jurist-caught).**
- [Copy-paste-clean governance drafts](feedback-governance-drafting-copy-paste-clean.md) — draft PENDING/REVIEWED placement blocks as plain fenced markdown; display formatting leaks into the placed record (REVIEWED-59 header, 07-16).
- [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) — CENTRAL to steward↔Seb (est. 2026-06-02): `app.plane.so/capablemind`, thin effort-tasks `[BM #N]` over canonical GH issues. ⚠ BBF = BetterBridge *product*, NOT the board. Plane MCP OAuth (`ToolSearch select:mcp__plane__*`); `create_work_item` needs `description_html`. Detail in file.
- [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.
- [Verify-before-compose hook](feedback-verify-before-compose-hook.md) — chamber-library constitutional writes (spec · graduation-spec · *amendment*/*FOR-JURIST*/*JURIST-PACKAGE*) are BLOCKED by a PreToolUse hook unless they carry `<!-- GROUNDED-IN: … -->` + a Grounding section quoting the ratified sections. The action-time enforcement the prose lessons ([[feedback-resurface-banked-notes-before-rederiving]]) lacked; don't fight the block. Steward-directed 2026-07-17 after the re-derived-from-training failure recurred on #2.
- [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 (`<sup><a>`→`[^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 on the chamber's telos (fidelity-without-trust; reading-is-unsolvable-is-the-feature; L2/engine=answerable-not-pure). 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) — DONE (steward 2026-07-07): `palace-memory` wound down, wake/wrap rewired to the files layer; KG exported (`knowledge-graph.jsonl`). Typography palace KEPT (separate instance).
- [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 ARC work (A1 Vignette, A2 cul-de-lampe, content sweeps, Phase-2/held set, REVIEWED-placement debt), not the chronological tracker.
- [ARC](project-arc-rework.md) — canonical ARC workstream tracker (chronological record 2026-04-16 →). **Status: STAGE G DONE/SEALED (GPG `ac0a7ee`, 2026-06-10) — reactive mode governs.** Open work → [[project-arc-open-work-register]] (A1 Vignette · A2 cul-de-lampe · content sweeps · Phase-2 held set). Chronological detail in the tracker file.
- 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`.
- [Studium engine telos — the chamber of voices](project-studium-engine-telos-chamber-of-voices.md) — **the ultimate goal, above the build plan**: David's childhood chamber of hero-voices → discourse with his library + voices conversing, this time *accountably* (v1 was eloquent/unaccountable; same ambition built grounded/citable). 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 (RESOLVED STALE 2026-07-19 — initials present). 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, messy nested). GOAL: link chamber↔sources (provenance index) + dedupe; real link needs EPUB/PDF internal metadata + edition-identity, not filenames. Detail + seed in file.
- [Character-as-image hazard](feedback-character-as-image-hazard.md) — some EPUBs render diacritics/non-Latin script as INLINE IMAGES; the standard image-drop SILENTLY MUTILATES them (PASS-BUT-FALSELY). **MECHANISM BUILT 2026-07-23 (REVIEWED-70/v2.5.0): `chamber-library/scripts/apply_char_glyphs.py`** — letter-adjacent glyph `<img>`→declared SOURCE Unicode (`graduation-spec.yaml` `character_as_image.glyph_map`, per-source), REFUSES unclassified (attest-never-default); wired into the born-digital lane as a hard precondition. §V Tier-3-by-omission is now constitutional. Discipline: VIEW the glyph, map to SOURCE form not "corrected" (ş cedilla, not ș). Census = 13/248-backup canonicals carry it (floor); per-source glyph-maps owed (Alter's Psalms among them).
- [Sidecar typology — protocol-dependent reading-indexes](project-sidecar-typology-protocol-dependent.md) — TWO layers: `.meta.json` structural sidecar = PROTOCOL-NEUTRAL (the graduated bar); reading-indexes (rich YAML) = PROTOCOL-DEPENDENT, probably PLURAL — **don't design the schema yet**; settle corpus to gold, let protocols declare themselves. Steward 2026-06-29.
- Studium Engine — *no tracker file yet*; moves in per-session memories + the **[architectural charter](reference-studium-engine-architectural-charter.md)**. Steps 0–7 built; corpus CLEAN; **V1 `verify-quote` BUILT + `fidelity_equivalence@2` GOVERNING (2026-07-19; @1 frozen; dash refused/evidence-gated; Greek/Latin census owed → @3)**. **Stage-1 rebuild plan** (`studium-engine/docs/stage-1-rebuild-plan-2026-07-05.md`): V0+N0 ruled · V1 done → V2→V4 / N1→N3. Collaboration = [[feedback-studium-engine-sixtus-v-collaboration]].
- [L1 reliability](project-L1-reliability.md) — canonical L1 tracker (est. 2026-05-28). Latest: N6 deploy #175 live+holds; CapableHands-as-BMF-clasp = PRIORITY (PENDING-41). L1 behind the Studium/chamber focus. Read the tracker before L1 work.
- [Be (laundromat)](project-be-laundromat.md) — canonical Be tracker (est. 2026-06-08). Be = Skemantix startup (Seb+David) funding CapableMind's ladder; **bridge, not venture**. Decisions LOCKED (entity/pricing/infra in file); a11y gate MERGED. **Pre-revenue WTP gate = renovate Pat → charge her; discipline: no new spec until it clears → nothing for executor on be.** Repo @ `f43a0fd`.

## Active Session
- [Session 2026-07-24 evening (cont.) — REVIEWED-72/74 built + LANDED atomically (spec v2.6.0); the 47-file V-TEXT wave is UNBLOCKED](session-2026-07-24-evening-reviewed72-74-vtext-gate-landed-v2.6.0-wave-unblocked.md) — Same day; steward /clear'd to build with room. Substrate re-read caught the prior wrap's "bounded" framing: the naive repoint FLAGs (run (3) carries 287 added → `classify` added_total>50 → FLAG). Grounding measurement (`scratchpad/ground_manifest.py`, read-only) **REFUTED the jurist's OWN stated premise** — the 287 = **279 DISPLACEMENT + 8 glyph, NOT injected content**; the injector enumerates `converted_markers` (646) on the **LOST** side. Also settled empirically: `_tokens` PRESERVES diacritics (`wstawać`≠`wstawa`) → glyph is TWO-SIDED. Steward chose routing (b) "no surprises" → **PENDING-73** package → **REVIEWED-74**: jurist **OWNED the refuted premise** (*"the producer must know X is not evidence the producer records X"*) + four corrections (Q1 in-scope on a recorded **three-part test** · Q2 **MULTISET** dominates presence [catches duplication] · Q3 two-sided **COUNT-SCOPED** [Counter subtraction; whole-run-or-nothing] · Q4 the glyph **CLASS** not future members) + 646-marker latent + a **fourth** demo case. **Built** `verify_body_conservation.resolve_added` (10 fixtures) + `apply_char_glyphs` two-sided manifest (added=joined / removed=`<img>`-split fragments) + repointed the reference → **FOUR-CASE demonstration PASSED** (clean PASS · prose-deletion FLAG · fabrication-outside-manifest FLAG fab=80 · Eichmann regression clean; RECORD doc) → **wired** into `graduate_to_canonical.body_conservation_gate`. **LANDED** (steward: "push into the landing"): spec **v2.5.0→v2.6.0**, froze v2.5.0, **BOUNDED-DIFF PROVEN** (exactly 4 regions); graduation-spec `body_conservation:` declared data (`added_fabrication_threshold:40`, `reader_audit` specified-not-yet-built VISIBLE); §Governance +2 disciplines (reassigned-component check · in-scope-refinement three-part test); chamber CLAUDE.md v2.6.0 + tool-evolution-log. **`eaa38bf` on github** (origin/Gitea unreachable, retry owed). Fleet **234/234**; every hook + pre-commit passed. **PULLING THREAD next = BEGIN THE 47-FILE V-TEXT WAVE** — first bite = ONE real **non-imaged** kindle_residue file end-to-end through the newly-wired gate (the demonstration proved the gate LOGIC, not a full GRADUATION); the 12 imaged census-flagged files need per-source glyph-maps first (parallel curation track). **LITERAL Q: does a live book produce a clean graduation, or surface an `added_fabrication_threshold` floor HIGHER than the 2-book calibration (40), forcing a recalibration?** Read the session file 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) and `/wake-up` (truncated load = flag + trim). Back up before restructuring. (Compacted 2026-07-17: entries re-slimmed to tight one-liners, 20.5→<17.1KB.)
