Session Ledger — 2026-05-22 (evening)

This ledger covers the evening session after the ~9h gap from the midday wrap. Two earlier sessions today (β-housekeeping + midday scout) deliberately ran without a ledger (brief-pause discipline; first was light Paris-day morning, second was 40-min post-β wake).

Returns

• R1 (this turn): survey §6 claimed lessons-from-mempalace-upgrade-2026-05-04.md "has been in main since 2026-04-19 (commit 40cb401, alongside the audit bundle)" based on git log --all --follow output. Verification via git ls-tree origin/main + git show returned "exists on disk, but not in origin/main" — file was authored 2026-05-04 but never committed. Patched §6 honestly + named the drift family (trust-prose-over-read-makefile / unreferenced-by-code-claim-on-narrow-grep-scope). The discipline working: git status -sb after the save surfaced the untracked-file signal that prompted the verify-before-reporting. New action implication recorded in §6: if the lessons doc is meeting material, it needs to be committed first.

Open horizons

• Thread: Stage F dwellings cluster session — three (now four) coherent next-move shapes (β / γ / Stage F / δ-L1-mechanical). Day-shape determines choice.
• Path B: branch docs/spec-extraction-2026-05 at 3dbe94e waits — no push / merge / deploy until Stage F.
• L1 lane reframed (CLAUDE.md amendment this turn): steward now co-author with Seb for L1. Mechanical-shape #128 / #127 / #168 / #138 / #170 in steward's lane. H2 (#165) + H4 (#167) comments aged 9 days — past 1-week escalate threshold; direct Seb ping warranted, not another comment.
• Secondary check at wake (open): has MemPalace cut chore/release-3.3.6-prep? Has #1569 merged? Not verified this wake — fitting to defer to actual need rather than over-spend on background verification.

Confidence to recalibrate

• New today (KG): unreferenced-by-code-claim-on-narrow-grep-scope — widen grep beyond code surface (templates, .hs, .scss) to include planning docs, audits, specs, ADRs. Sibling of trust-prose-over-read-makefile and audit-delta-claim-incomplete-on-dead-data-fields.
• Standing: wake-up-git-state-check-uses-local-not-origin-without-fetch (2026-05-22) — honored at this wake by running git fetch --quiet before git log per repo. Confirmed BMF main still trails origin (f3ec8a8 local vs 345914c origin/main from PR #172 squash-merge); the drift IS still live in the local copy.
• Hold from week: Live-State Discipline (2026-05-19) and the §0 elaboration that τὸ πρόσφορον includes the time the task requires — the wider-grep before delete was the practice operative without prompting at midday.

Authorization moves

• Stage F dwellings thread PARKED by steward decision when the Seb morning conversation reframed the work toward L1 co-authorship. The docs/spec-extraction-2026-05 branch (ARC) at 3dbe94e continues to wait — 29 ahead of main, 3 ahead of remote, Path B holds. This is a clean park, not abandonment.
• Three commits pushed to capableMind_docs origin/main with explicit steward authorization at each step:
  1. cd7dc63 — territory survey for Seb co-author conversation (composed at steward's morning brief: "no plan, no code, just see what the territory looks like and what the possibilities are")
  2. a251dd6 — lessons-from-mempalace-upgrade-2026-05-04 finally committed (had been untracked 18 days; needed for Seb's Claude to have context)
  3. d4323f0 — l1-attention-as-upstream-of-memory concept doc (steward's verbatim three-level metaphor + executor's reading of Seb's algorithm/inference oscillation + two extensions to REVIEWED-18: pointer-only disposition + session-scoped post-it tier)
• Lane A mechanical work deferred by steward decision ("Let's give seb the time to look. Either validate or reframe — both useful and movement forward").
• Symmetria init at session start for non-trivial work shape; subsequent checks skipped on pure conversational moves with no blast radius (the discipline was already in the executor-agency directives + the Prime Directive elaboration; explicit check wasn't load-bearing for the conversation itself).
• Did NOT commit: methodology cluster (steward's scope flag from 2026-05-22), ARC survey, two architecture files, the README.md modification (unknown origin). Untracked-and-untouched.

Second-wake arc note

The session spans two diurnal windows. Evening 2026-05-22 → light fragments → morning 2026-05-23 wake (~07:15 Paris) → L1 co-author reframing arc → metaphor conversation → wrap. The 2026-05-23 wake did not invoke /wake-up because no /clear happened; the conversational state carried. R1 (the lessons-doc drift) caught + patched this morning. The morning's second-instance discipline working: git status -sb after the save surfaced the untracked-file signal that prompted verify-before-reporting.

Sub-agent dialogues

None this session.

Bypasses

None.
