# Session Ledger — 2026-07-11
## Returns
- 09:17 — At wake, verified governance state against substrate before relaying: read PENDING/REVIEWED directly, confirmed REVIEWED-54b is jurist-ruled FIX (part 2 = build-directly) with the (c)-letter-marker n=3 spot-check reserved to the steward. Guards against `inherited-marker-read-as-current-state` (07-11 drift).
## Open horizons
- **PULLING THREAD (jurist RULED 2026-07-11, REVIEWED-55): building UN-HELD for 3 FIX items.** The ruling CORRECTS REVIEWED-54b's (c): no letter-marker family; donne=word/phrase-marker DECLINED this arc (regex fallback; fresh PROPOSAL if ever); (c) WITHDRAWN. **Authorized FIX (build under per-pair `(dest-file,id)` + verbatim real-book proof):** (1) **analyzer precision** (expose `process()` paired-ref positions — build first, makes coverage attribution exact); (2) **(b) inner-anchor** (incl. nagarjuna; ~582 notes; reciprocity path exists, only target-resolution missing); (3) **nested-block** (~354; widen back-link search immediate-children→descendants; same risk as (a)). Follow-ups: obrist native-`<aside>` empirical pandoc check; don-quixote `<body>`-id = confirmed false (leave out); of-grammatology double-anchor = own later look; donne id-typos logged (`_curation/anchor-hygiene-findings.md`). Ruling archived `docs/footnote-family-census-JURIST-RULING-2026-07-11.md`. **Awaiting: steward places REVIEWED-55 + a proceed nod (asked).**
- **PENDING-55 filed** (dotfiles PENDING.md): re-scope the REVIEWED-54b remainder. Brief `docs/footnote-family-census-FOR-JURIST-2026-07-11.md` — **census folded in as Appendix A** (jurist has NO repo access; self-contained for relay), pushed `b8182dc` both remotes, re-sent to steward. 6 questions: (1) donne word/phrase-marker widening or hold; (2) nested-block FIX-or-PROPOSAL; (3) blind-zone one-directional = families or honest-refuse; (4) confirm (b); (5) proof standard; (6) optional process()-exposes-paired-refs FIX. **Awaiting steward+jurist.**
- **Chamber PUSHED (steward-authorized "please push", 11:55):** both remotes now at `23a87d9`. Gitea was behind at `a6828ac` → this push carried `12405a5` + `ef0cee0` + `23a87d9` in one go; **Gitea-behind horizon RESOLVED.** (commit≠push held all session until the steward's explicit push authorization.)
- Steward Sunday 2026-07-12 owes REVIEWED-52/53/54/54a/54b + §7 + lane-doctrine placements (+ now REVIEWED-55 when ruled). Executor can't write REVIEWED.md — Constraint #1.
- 5 ARC `after-the-reply` engine-binding drifts, unowned since 07-09.
## Authorization moves
- 11:45 — Held all recognizer building per steward "census to jurist first"; routed the census discoveries ((c) reframing, nested-block NEW family, blind-zone real notes) to the jurist via PENDING-55 rather than building past the ruling. The loop is load-bearing.
- Finalized `audit_footnotes.py` into the fleet (test_tools 83→86 + tool-evolution-log + CLAUDE.md line), retired 5 scratch throwaways, committed **local `23a87d9`** — push held for steward.
## Framing challenges (surface to steward/jurist)
- 09:40 — MEASURED the (c) letter-marker books; the "letter-marker family" is largely a **census artifact**. nagarjuna (281 notes) = digit + inner-anchor → served by **(b)**. plato (474) = digit + block-id/inner-anchor → served by (a)+(b). **No single-`[A-Za-z]`-marker book exists.** The one genuine non-digit case is **donne** (2957 WORD/PHRASE-lemma markers, 60% exact reciprocity) — *broader* than the jurist's "single [A-Za-z]" ruling; it removes the marker-shape defense-in-depth. → Build (b) now (serves kuhn/mbembe/nature-of-things/i-ching + nagarjuna + plato-inner); do NOT build donne's phrase-marker widening unilaterally — needs jurist re-ruling (challenge-the-framing).
## Tooling built this session
- 10:30 — `scripts/audit_footnotes.py` (read-only diagnostic; steward-proposed: "stop rewriting a probe each time"). Promotes the 5 throwaway probes (_reaudit_families/_reaudit2/_probe_uncovered/_measure_bc/_measure_c2) into one durable fleet tool. Per-book + `--corpus` census + `--validate`.
- 11:10 — **False-confidence redesign** (steward challenge: "don't let the tool give false confidence"). v1 hid a real family in an "other" bucket + used a looser reciprocity test than the recognizer without flagging divergence. Redesigned honesty-first: **recognizer `pairs` = the ONLY coverage truth**; structural scan = candidates; DIVERGENCE surfaced with raw markup; uncovered notes grouped by structural SIGNATURE (not hand-named); both-blind guard (`REFS-BUT-NO-RECIPROCITY`) flags footnote-shaped refs w/ no reciprocity instead of dismissing as FALSE-POS. 6 `--validate` cases incl. nested-block + both-blind. **DISCOVERY: found the `nested-block` family** (id on outer `<div>`, back-link nested in inner `<p>` — les-fleurs/jaccottet/polastron ~354 notes) that all 5 throwaways silently buried; + of-grammatology double-inner-anchor `*`-symbol; + real missed notes in the blind zone (arendt/montaigne/doniger/métamorphoses).
- **Honest residual limits (told steward, not hidden):** heuristic reciprocity ≠ recognizer exact pairing; blind-zone needs human read; signature=fingerprint-not-proof; exact per-ref attribution needs `process()` to expose paired-ref positions (a FIX, NOT done unilaterally — touches the fleet recognizer).
- **Governance next (proposed, awaiting steward):** wire `test_tools` fixture + `tool-evolution-log` entry (fleet membership); retire the 5 scratch throwaways; the `process()` paired-refs FIX.
## Confidence to recalibrate
- Hold today: verbatim guard stays **per-pair, keyed by (file, id)** — never whole-doc (aggregate-invariant-passes-while-a-per-item-swap-violates).
- Hold today: **commit ≠ push** — part 2's push is the steward's boundary, not mine.
## Authorization moves
## (b) inner-anchor build — result + the nagarjuna wall
- Built (b) in the FLEET recognizer (Parser block_idx on id_only_anchors + block parent; inner_block_by_id target index; block-note pass resolves inner-anchor targets; edit-loop body_id=Z + strip inner anchor). **PROVEN +0/−0 VERBATIM CLEAN on kuhn (217) / mbembe (523) / nature-of-things (176) = 916 notes.** Regressions (haraway/genette/la-pensée/sennett) clean. test_tools 86/86.
- **i-ching: cleanly HONEST-REFUSED** — all 66 notes nest in wrapper divs; pandoc won't lift a deeply-nested same-file footnote def. Parent-nesting refuse → i-ching pairs 0, +0/−0.
- **nagarjuna: converts DIRTY (+16/−26), UNRESOLVED.** Its **index cross-references the footnotes** ("214n. 74"); converting them makes pandoc re-render the index (page_214 leak). Per-pair SOURCE guard PASSES but pandoc perturbs the index → PASS-BUT-FALSELY at the recognizer layer; `_prove.py` catches it. **5 discriminators tested (nesting/multi-ref/multi-file/body-idanchors/no-close) — none separates nagarjuna from the clean books.** The end-to-end proof is the real guarantor.
- **RESOLVED (steward chose "build end-to-end self-verify into the tool"):** added `verify_end_to_end()` — after writing, stock pandoc runs on original + injected EPUB, body-word multisets compared, ANY non-marker change REFUSES + deletes the output. Guarantee now **by verification, not only construction.** **nagarjuna SELF-REFUSES** (exit 2, no file → regex fallback); kuhn/mbembe/nature write clean; i-ching no-op-refused (0 pairs); `--no-verify` for downstream-verified contexts. The whole PASS-BUT-FALSELY class is closed at the tool layer (also compensates the unenforced `body_word_conservation` gate for footnote conversions). `--validate` + `test_tools` gained word-diff teeth; **fleet 86→91.** Bears on the §V proof standard → flagged for a jurist nod in the governance trail (steward authorized the build). **COMMITTED + will push.**
## nested-block + obrist findings (surface to steward/jurist)
- **nested-block: jurist FIX-assumption OVERTURNED by proof (2nd time this arc, after (c)).** Built the widen (`_block_first_anchor` searches block descendants; resolved-note-block threading). It PAIRS the notes (les-fleurs 909, polastron 336) but converts DIRTY (les-fleurs +828/−1110, jaccottet marker-merge "fête1", polastron +202/−2756) — pandoc won't cleanly lift a `<div class="note">`-wrapped same-file def. Same PASS-BUT-FALSELY class as i-ching/nagarjuna; the **end-to-end verify catches it** (vindicates building the verify first). The jurist's "widen the search = same as (a)" doesn't hold empirically. **REVERTED** (recognizer must not pair what it can't convert clean — else the analyzer's COVERED lies). Recommend: **nested-block joins the honest-refuse set** (regex fallback), needs a jurist note. chamber back at `3831878` (clean); regression + (b) all +0/−0; test_tools 91/91.
- **obrist: empirically a GAP, not auto-covered.** Stock pandoc emits **0** native footnotes from its `<aside epub:type="footnote">` (contra the assumption it might be pandoc-native). 16 notes, low priority → regex fallback. Jurist's "confirm before covered-or-gap" answered: it's a gap.
## Q1b retroactive re-verification — MAJOR finding (verified real; corpus safe)
- Ran the end-to-end verify over every recognizer-COVERED Chamber Sources EPUB (`scratch/_retroactive_verify.py`; evidence `docs/retroactive-verify-2026-07-12.txt`). **87 covered · 42 CLEAN · 45 DIRTY** (pass per-pair guard, corrupt under real pandoc).
- **Verified real** (not a verify bug): all 5 known-clean books (haraway/genette/la-pensée/sennett/kuhn) land in CLEAN; independent `_prove.py` agrees against-interpretation is dirty.
- **Two classes:** 29 **CATASTROPHIC** (real prose loss / false-pair relocation: montaigne +385457, red-book −7835, pascalian +5910, gadamer −1939, donne −1908, tolkien −1725, decolonising −1572, west-eastern −1107, silence −896, waves −746[native fn 0→0]…) + 16 **marker-adjacency** (prose intact, markers glued: against-interp +3/−3, stevens +1/−1…). Large ADDITIONS ⇒ the recognizer **false-pairs** non-notes (index/cross-refs) and relocates huge content — the nagarjuna problem at scale.
- **CORPUS SAFE: 0 canonical files declare the pre-processor — NONE of the 45 were graduated.** The verify caught this PRE-graduation; the mandatory verify refuses all 45 → regex fallback. Nothing to remediate.
- **Implication (steward+jurist):** the recognizer's reliable coverage is **~42/87 (~48%)**, not 87 — the individual REVIEWED proofs were on books that convert clean; broad application reveals extensive over-pairing. Powerfully vindicates the end-to-end verify (Q1a) + the jurist's retroactive requirement (Q1b) + "representative-books≠corpus." Open decision: improve the recognizer (tighten pairing) vs accept 42-clean + fallback-for-the-rest. NOT resolved this session.
