# Session Ledger — 2026-06-04

## Returns
- 2026-06-04T07:08 — Wake. Thread CONFIRMED: close Stage N (dead-selector sweep + §I.h rhythm token; Option B Compass-§VI-as-data paired). ARC `main` @ `3f89564` clean/pushed/deployed — verified, not assumed. Literal Q checked against ~/REVIEWED.md: NO entries for PENDING-25/-26 yet; jurist name-lock open. Lineage clasp closed.
- 2026-06-04T16:52 — Second wake (brief pause; wrapped ~1h prior, addendum at 16:46). Thread CONFIRMED: §I.k.b English enforcement vs SCSS re-partition, steward chooses. Changed in the gap: **REVIEWED-27 filed** (PENDING-26 name-lock landed — `.apparatus-meta` + unification; `.whisper` pass now unblocked at true scope ~9 template usages + 1 content file = third opener candidate). PENDING-25 REVIEWED still unfiled. chamber-library still 15 ahead (day 4). ARC `d138529` in sync. MemPalace 0 behind. Carry-forward recalibration: reason from current state, not remembered model. Lineage clasp closed.

## Open horizons
- **IMPORTANT TODO (steward-flagged 2026-06-04): §I.k.b English typographic enforcement** — extend the §I.k build-time filter (frenchSpacing pattern) with the English slate: (1) em → spaced en dash (NBSP before; drift source is ongoing autocorrect — enforcement beats sweeping); (2) quote-style to house single-primary via Quoted-node constructor swap (structurally safe, nesting free); (3) NBSP at abbreviation joints (p./no./vol./c./fig. + name initials); (4) decade/elision apostrophe direction ('90s). Spec clause FIRST (F4 pattern), synthetic proof corpus, idempotency gate, quoted-matter doctrine declared (house typesetting conforms quotations' typography, never words). Pairs with the one-time source sweep: 12 files em dashes + 10 center→centre. "Will help site consistency substantially."
- PENDING-25 + PENDING-26 REVIEWED entries — steward to file; -26 also needs jurist name-lock (`.register-mark-inline` vs unification with `.chamber-mark`/`.encounter-mark`). Now committed in dotfiles via sysupdate auto-commit `bc53c94`.
- chamber-library 15 ahead of origin — steward's own "first thing" carry from 06-03 morning; single-disk risk until pushed.
- Frontispiece compass reveal mechanism — own pass, adjacent F+1 (dark mode exposed; never built).
- Skill harvest unauthorized: fold compiled-selector grep gate + WCAG contrast calculator into SCSS verification-ladder register entry; prior register set still open.
- Stage-N residual carries: SVG-vs-Unicode spec note → Stage G; `.excerpts blockquote` italic → Chamber block 2.

## Confidence to recalibrate
- 2026-06-04 — Hold the named drift: *reasoning-from-remembered-model-not-current-state*. The dead-selector sweep is precisely where the remembered model lies — judge against compiled `style.css` + rendered `_site` corpus, never memory. Measure before deciding (won 3× yesterday).

## Authorization moves
- 2026-06-04 — STAGE N CLOSED + DEPLOYED LIVE (`992a607`, both remotes, CloudFlare verified: 33,092-byte style.css exact, rhythm live, prunes absent, keeps present, 13 compass rows). Rhythm tokens: 5-token family DERIVED from true leading (1.6rem beat; spec's 2.7rem was reference-illustration — multiples normative; steward's percentage-root question CONFIRMED the derivation: rem ratio holds at every user setting). Blockquote+verse → 2.4rem; steward: "looks right — that's why I didn't notice unaided." Stale px comment on $base-font-size corrected. NEW FOUND: static/disqus.js+galite.js dead (0 refs) + both site.hs JS rules serve nothing + stray .DS_Store — JS-tail prune offered, awaiting steward go. Remaining subtractions are governance-shaped: .whisper (PENDING-26 name-lock), ornament content migration (~213 uses, rides Pause/Close).
- 2026-06-04 — DEAD-SELECTOR PRUNE EXECUTED + COMMITTED `864a5b4` (steward authorized all 3 prune categories + JUDGE per exec recommendation; verified desktop+phone both modes). 57 classes, 4 orphaned templates, _chamber.scss whole, post.html tags block, Appendix B row. −771/+76 lines; style.css −22% (−109 rules). Execution catches: @extend = 4th emitter layer (.ornament@extend.silence-pause → declarations folded in); ornament variants split alive(8, ~213 content uses, stay)/dead(6, pruned); §VII.e dead-rule corrections grew to THREE (.post-updated-at, .glimpse-meta, .footer .separator); STRANDED INTENT .seasonal-geometry (only styling sat in dead .footer scope; live glyph unstyled — queued for steward's eye, NOT silently restored); caught own repeat of comments-ship-to-output in post.html before build. Gate adjusted honestly: HTML delta = 1 whitespace line, fully characterized via sort -u. ARC 3 ahead of origin — push/deploy posture = steward's call.
- 2026-06-04 — Option B EXECUTED (steward: "proceed", after pros/cons walk; chose Option B before sweep — bounded-build-first reasoning, not deference). Compass §VI rows now data-driven: `compass_specials` in listings.yml (steward declined verbose comment rewrite → light doc only, post-gate); site.hs `CompassSpecial` + `compassRowsHtml` + `create ["templates/compass-rows.html"]` (compileTemplateItem — API verified via ghci BEFORE writing code); partial splices via nested $partial$. **Gate: diff -r = 0 across 564 files on the mechanism**; second pass with doc comment = 306 pages differ by EXACTLY the 3 intended comment lines (sort -u proof, additions only). Catch named in real time: partial HTML comments ship to published output — re-ran gate with expected-delta rather than asserting. UNCOMMITTED; commit posture = steward's call.

- 2026-06-04T17:15 — `.whisper` MIGRATION EXECUTED (REVIEWED-27; steward "please proceed"). **Census re-run at execution scope corrected the addendum again**: 7 template files / 18 usages (addendum's 3/9 missed `templates/partials/` — footer-standard/about/chamber ×7 + post-list-home ×2); trust-prior-pass-frame applied. Mapping: glyphs ✦/⟐ → mark-class unification (post-list, annals, post-list-home); prose → `.apparatus-meta` (default ×4, footers ×7, empty-state, content ×2); `blockquote.whisper` in tools-process-guide = a QUOTATION (Fritz Lang) wearing whisper for quietness → class dropped, plain §I.h blockquote (named, not silent). SCSS: base+footer+mobile renamed; **gray→fg carried per spec direction** (apparatus-spec 462 "replace with apparatus styling per §VII"; the holding-value comment's "until then" = this pass). Spec lines updated to record the lock (apparatus-spec 464+504; AldineXXI 2801). Gates: compiled CSS 0 whisper / .apparatus-meta present; rendered corpus whisper = exactly the 15 deferred chamber-v1 pages; 306 pages carry .apparatus-meta. Two named visible deltas to steward's render gate: footer text gray→fg; list glyphs now mark-register (≈1.24rem fg serif vs 0.85rem gray italic). Serve running; commit posture = steward's call.

- 2026-06-04T19:40 — EVENING ARC CLOSED: `.whisper` migration (`7d59b4b`) + §I.k.b English enforcement (`7c1b478`) committed, pushed both remotes, ONE deploy, live byte-verified (‘Harnoncourt’ single quotes; chamber `read\xa0–` tie; apparatus-meta ×3; colophon stamps 7c1b478). §I.k.b spec-first: AldineXXI §I.k.b + multilingual §3.1–3.3 amendments; three steward rulings (tied dash = named house refinement; quoted-matter doctrine ratified; initials U+202F/U+00A0); masters consulted via typography-palace CLI (Bringhurst 4.246+2.1.5, Hochuli, Tschichold; palace SILENT on dash-at-break — honesty held, refinement recorded as ours). Transform designed against MEASURED Ext_smart (probes corrected remembered model 3×: '90s already right; built-in abbrev ties; -- = glued en). Gates: synthetic byte-proof + idempotency ×11; corpus delta characterized (±275 quotes balanced, −em/+en balanced, +676 ties, 1 expected outlier).
- 2026-06-04T19:40 — Returns (evening): (1) **steward catch — colophon em dashes**: claimed §I.k.b coverage while chamberIndexCompiler route shipped untransformed; fix = ONE transformForLang gate shared by both compilers; then steward pressed "no way only one compiler?" → exhaustive compile-route census (two Pandoc compilers; assemblies + feed inherit snapshots — feed verified 0 em). *Claiming coverage from seen-routes, not censused-routes* — same family as bare-grep inflation, third instance today. (2) **steward catch — sidenote dash opening a line on Chamber page**: authored spaced en dashes carried breakable spaces; same-day spec amendment (spaced en = unambiguously parenthetical → tie upgrade; glued en untouchable) + uniform Space+"–" fuse so the tie holds after Emph/Span. (3) NBSP heredoc mangling in the python gate counter — bytes re-verified directly; counter distrusted, artifact trusted.
- 2026-06-04T19:40 — Steward directive for TOMORROW: **§I.k.c Spanish filter, before Stage G** (touches same spec surface; machinery warm). Caveats named and accepted: measuring read of §2 first (espacios = closed-up, nothing to insert; ¡¿ apertura = judgment, likely NOT build-enforceable; comillas «» need node REPLACEMENT not constructor swap — new mechanism); born dormant (zero lang:es pieces) per French precedent; heteronym decompose (PENDING-25 proving ground) supplies first real pieces. Queue: §I.k.c → Stage G → re-partition; Context A after both Context-B filters.
