David F GliddenandClaude Opus 5 90dc0f7373 [HARDENING] Close PENDING-82 and -118; mark 119/120/123 BUILT
82 is discharged by events. Its 2026-07-28 substrate check said there was no
mcpServers key; today the config carries mcpServers: governance, and the jurist
used the tools in three consecutive rulings — opening graduation-spec directly
and refusing to rule from my summary, which is the capability the item existed
to create. Two residuals carried, not buried: the read enum reaches neither the
runbook nor the R0 contract, and the installed surface has 8 keys and a search
tool the description does not name.

118 is built, and building it REFUTED the option I had recommended. I wrote that
the checker already parses the archive format. It does not — the marker is an
HTML comment and there are zero in either register file; their deferrals are
prose, 53 and 26. Widening alone would have scanned two more files, found
nothing and reported clean: a silent net built to close a blind spot, which is
the failure the item was filed to describe.

So the widening ships with its limit in its own output — prose deferrals counted
and reported un-machine-readable, never as absent, with counting explicitly not
classifying. The census stays owed.

119/120/123 marked BUILT with their commits so the built-vs-ruled checker sees
them; all three were already ruled, so this closes a reporting gap, not an
authorization one.

governance-drift-check — report state claims in ~/CLAUDE.md that the substrate contradicts.
Reports. Does not correct. Detection needs no authorization; correction does
(Constitutional Constraint #1). This exists so that a stale governance document
is *visible* rather than *misleading* — Constitutional Constraint #4, honest
degradation, applied to the governance document itself.
Every check carries a POSITIVE CONTROL in the same run: an absence is not
evidence until the instrument is shown capable of detecting presence.
(Ratified 2026-07-27 as an epistemic standard, jurist Q2.)
Built 2026-07-27 on steward authorization. Exit code is always 0 — this is a
report, not a gate.

# ------------------------------------------ 8. deferred decisions, and their triggers
# EARNED 2026-08-07. The jurist settlement of 2026-05-16 deferred TEI-native
# authoring "until Cluster A's MD-with-sidecar form is operational". Cluster A
# became operational, the condition was met, and NOBODY LOOKED — it surfaced
# months later, by accident, while reading an unrelated document. The steward's
# stated reason for settling it that day was not the format question but the
# forgetting: "I abhor deferring so many things and then forgetting them."
#
# A deferral is a claim: "not yet". When its trigger fires, the substrate
# contradicts that claim — which is exactly what this instrument detects. So a
# deferred decision declares a MACHINE-CHECKABLE trigger and this checks it,
# rather than relying on anyone to remember.
#
# <!-- DEFERRED-DECISION: <slug>
# since: YYYY-MM-DD
# owner: steward | jurist | executor
# trigger: glob <pattern> | path-exists <path> | date <YYYY-MM-DD> | manual
# discriminator: <where the deciding evidence is written down> -->
#
# `manual` never auto-fires and is listed rather than checked — an honest way to
# record a deferral whose condition genuinely cannot be mechanised, instead of
# inventing a proxy. Proxies are what failed here: the old trigger stood in for
# "behavioural evidence on high-fidelity sources" and came true without it.
