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.

# Claude Code Memory
|
||
|
||
## Standing preferences
|
||
- [Chamber work: ground in constitution + charter + runbook FIRST](feedback-chamber-work-ground-in-constitution-charter-runbook.md) — **any chamber work *or talk about it*** begins by reading the **library constitution · engine charter · conversion runbook** (incl. `reanchor:`). Repo CLAUDE.mds are pointers, not state. Corpus claims come from a self-tested tool, never a hand grep. **Enforcement mechanism owed.**
|
||
- [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 (**never** the master library or a path in a doc/frontmatter); read the banked source record before calling a mismatch a defect.
|
||
- [Steward maps live in ~/dotfiles/maps](reference-steward-maps-home.md) — a **map** = an artifact David reads *directly* to orient. Write it into `~/dotfiles/maps/` and symlink to the Desktop, **never** straight onto the Desktop; `wake-digest.py` reports strays.
|
||
- [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 — **`PENDING`/`REVIEWED` only.** ⚠ That refusal is a tool artifact, **not** a permission check, and this note is the documented route past the only friction guarding the constitution (PENDING-107: no `permissions` key; the one hook fires on `~/CLAUDE.md` and exits 0 by design; `Bash` isn't gated at all). **`~/CLAUDE.md`/`~/REVIEWED.md`/L2 = `[ESCALATE]`, steward's hand — a jurist sign-off does not authorize one.**
|
||
- [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.
|
||
- [The central path — answerability, not purity](feedback-central-path-answerability-not-purity.md) — the contamination recursion is **probably irresolvable**, so **stop certifying the parties, bind the claims.** Route by claim-type: *checkable* → produce the check + a falsifier; *judgment* → disclose standpoint in one line, decide, record; *undecidable* → name it open. **One layer of disclosure, then act — never audit the audit.**
|
||
- [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) — finish the **constitution as one block FIRST**, then corpus-into-spec **pulled by what each engine phase needs**. **Bounded question → bounded answer**; keep open-thread count LOW.
|
||
- [Close thoroughly — no frequent deferrals](feedback-close-thoroughly-no-frequent-deferrals.md) — **frequent deferrals ARE how the cloud accumulated**; close ALL of a block that's closable-now; distinguish closable-now from genuinely-blocked (**name the specific dependency**).
|
||
- [Removing a claim ≠ removing the reliance](feedback-removing-a-claim-is-not-removing-the-reliance.md) — cutting an unsupported sentence can **hide** the gap rather than close it; the dependency survives, now invisible to every check. Test isn't 'is the bad sentence gone' but '**does the conclusion still need it**'.
|
||
- [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.)
|
||
- [Derive the rule from the consumer, not the survivor](feedback-derive-the-rule-from-the-consumer-not-from-the-survivor.md) — picking between two disagreeing implementations is **selection, not derivation**; derive from what a CONSUMER must do. Complementary-correctness defeats sampling.
|
||
- [Census by mechanism, not proxy](feedback-census-by-mechanism-not-proxy.md) — census by RUNNING the real pipeline, not a proxy; distrust the finite-feeling bucket that arrives when you want to feel done.
|
||
- [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**. The prior pass tested what it tested; your extension claims what it did not test.
|
||
- [MemPalace is an unaffiliated stopgap](mempalace-is-unaffiliated-stopgap.md) — third-party; steward/Seb build BMF/CapableMind. Don't conflate them. 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); `/wrap-up` §1.6 proposes, steward authorizes. **Register compaction + ladder batch-append owed** — it exceeds read caps (tripwire 2026-07-22). Built: `/jurist-package`, `/model-handoff`. Ruled/held detail in the file.
|
||
- [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: `app.plane.so/capablemind`, thin effort-tasks `[BM #N]` over canonical GH issues. ⚠ BBF = BetterBridge *product*, NOT the board. Detail + MCP setup 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.
|
||
- [Verify-before-compose hook](feedback-verify-before-compose-hook.md) — chamber constitutional writes are BLOCKED by a PreToolUse hook without `<!-- GROUNDED-IN: … -->` + verbatim Grounding. Don't fight the block.
|
||
- [Tool review after each use](feedback-tool-review-after-each-use.md) — review every tool we built after each run (success OR failure); iterate until reliable. **PASS-BUT-FALSELY is the priority signal.** Log at `chamber-library/_curation/tool-evolution-log.md`.
|
||
- [Engine sources graduate to the permanent chamber](feedback-engine-sources-become-permanent-chamber-collection.md) — 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.
|
||
- [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`.*
|
||
- **[Chamber as versioned releases](project-chamber-versioned-releases.md) — THE GOVERNING FRAME for all library work.** Realize the 2000-year Chamber as versioned releases with soft borders, each serving a PURPOSE. Scope every library bite through this. **Open decision: which purpose anchors V1** — see the facet formalism in `studium-engine/docs/parallel-tracks-…2026-08-03.md`.
|
||
- [The Chamber touchstone — the *why*](~/_Dev/studium-engine/docs/the-chamber-touchstone.md) — seven questions to test work against when lost in the trees. **Read at Step 0 of any chamber work**, before constitution/charter/runbook. Holds no state; does not decay.
|
||
- [The Chamber vision is NOT in one place](project-chamber-vision-is-not-in-one-place.md) — it lives in **seven** sources across two repos + memory (census in file). A single home would become an eighth unless it supersedes or points.
|
||
- [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** (2026-06-18, reconciliation-verified). Sourced ≠ ingested; the Handke-German decision; Levi drop-cap gate RESOLVED STALE. 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) — EPUBs rendering diacritics as inline images are SILENTLY MUTILATED by image-drop. Mechanism built (`apply_char_glyphs.py`, REVIEWED-70/v2.5.0), wired as a born-digital precondition; per-source glyph-maps still owed. VIEW the glyph; map to SOURCE form.
|
||
- [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)** + **`docs/tool-evolution-log.md`** (read its §0). Steps 0–7 built; corpus CLEAN + gate-validated 13/13. **V1 `verify-quote` + `fidelity_equivalence@3` GOVERNING** (REVIEWED-87 now PLACED) — ⚠ **but @3 is under challenge: PENDING-111 + jurist package filed 08-06**, it strips escaped literal `\*` and erases Alexander's invariant rating; ruling sets the V-track course. **The parse fix LANDED `27b79ca`** — `retrieve.py` accepts a sentence; 26 crashes → 0; **HIT 0/22, MISLOCATED 0, FALSE-POSITIVE 0**; `tests/test_retrieve.py` (21) + `tests/chavruta_harness.py` are the read side's first test floor. **PENDING-97 is now the live blocker and measurable** (13–19 term conjunctions). ⚡ **Embeddings already score 22/22 recall@20 on the same items** — never landed; V2 gates it. **NEXT: N1 → V2.**
|
||
- [Instrument censuses — have our gates ever fired?](../governance/fool/census-02-have-they-ever-fired-RESULT.md) — `~/dotfiles/claude/governance/fool/`: **census 01** (does each gate have a real negative instance? → decay, not construction, is the failure mode) + **census 02** (has it ever fired at all? → the record divides by whether a human invokes it). Both pre-registered before the look; both had prediction 5 invert. Read before trusting any gate's silence.
|
||
- [L1 reliability](project-L1-reliability.md) — canonical L1 tracker. **BLOCKED ON SEB (PENDING-94) — nothing moves until he rules; BMF is down and staying down.** The replay **has never resumed, only restarted**: `minCursor` is a minimum over all 11 modules and two never participate ⇒ every start rebuilds from seq 0 (13/13, 0 catch-up). Completion is gated by **uninterrupted run length, not rate** — which is why ANALYZE/B1.1/N6 were all real and all changed nothing. **Recall never worked either** (`retrieval_count = 0` across the whole April–June graph). Yesterday's "ingest mystery solved" was **corrected 2026-08-04**. **Read the tracker before ANY L1 work** — walked past once on 2026-08-03.
|
||
- [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
|
||
> 🧹 **STEP 0 = the MEMORY.md trim — steward-directed at the 2026-08-06 evening wrap.** 19.9 KB vs a <17.1 KB target. **Relocation, not deletion**; back up first. Weight is Standing preferences (~9.6 KB) + Trackers (~6.9 KB) — judgement work, *not* a fast pass (fast trimming IS the compression-drops-the-load-bearing-clause failure). No truncation risk today (4.8 KB headroom); the reason it goes first is that it has been deferred three times.
|
||
> ⛔ **THEN N1, the navigation-tree builder** (decided with the steward at the 2026-08-06 evening wrap; then **V2**). The N0 contract is written and names all four primitives — read `studium-engine/docs/spec/n0-navigation-tree-contract.md` §1–§2, don't re-derive.
|
||
> ⚠ **N1 will NOT move 0/22** — that is N2. Finishing N1 with the number unchanged is the expected outcome, not a failure.
|
||
> ⚠ **Build the tree from the READING INDEX, not by parsing headings.** `chamber-library/reading-indices/*.yaml` carries the authoritative number→name→line map (Alexander: all 253, re-found *by name*, sha-bound). Heading text hits three documented OCR defects. Today's harness regex is a reference, not the input.
|
||
> ⏳ **Not my thread:** the **PENDING-111 ruling** (relayed 08-06 evening — sets the V-track course, does **not** gate N1) · the Seb package · the L2 design note · PENDING-109 census + PENDING-104 brief, both **needing dates, not "later."**
|
||
|
||
- [Session 2026-08-06 evening — the asterisk that carried meaning](session-2026-08-06-evening-the-asterisk-that-carried-meaning.md) — **The parse fix LANDED (`27b79ca`): 26 crashes → 0, MISLOCATED 0, FALSE-POSITIVE 0** across all 5 items where silence is the correct answer — both deciding buckets empty, so the revert condition was not met. **HIT 0/22**: the engine now grounds nothing *honestly*, needing 13–19 terms to co-occur. **0/22 is the number to beat.** ⚡ **The embedding arm already scores 22/22 recall@20 on the identical items** — capability measured in June, never landed; V2 is the gate that makes surfacing it safe. **Governance: the register could not answer "how many rulings do I owe"** (23, not the digest's 26) — REVIEWED-87→94 placed, five of them **reconstructions** with provenance lines; PENDING-99/-105/-106 closed (106 **by split**); PENDING-108/-109/-110/-111 filed. ⚡ **The steward's printed A Pattern Language found that `fidelity_equivalence@3` erases Alexander's invariant rating** (81/114/54 across the corpus) — jurist package filed, containment 13/13. **Instruments caught 4 corrections; the jurist 1; the steward 2 — and his came from reading a physical book.**
|
||
|
||
## 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.)
