- thread-query.py: the turning. Queries both corpora with the pulling thread, excluding the recency slice (/wake-up reaches 0.71% of an 859,803-word corpus) and favouring age. Wired into /wake-up §2.b.3, replacing a described-not-invoked grep step. Trial pre-registered, graded 2026-10-05 from --log. Caught PASS-BUT-FALSELY on its first live run at 14/14 green; rescored on windowed co-occurrence, length-bias control added. - daybook-cue.py: PostToolUse cue for the daily note. Diagnosed from the record — the hook only ever CREATED and nothing ever prompted filling. 16/16, fail-open, never blocks. - All 11 user-* memories harvested into the vault (12 notes, 10 into 09. Atlas of Roots, empty since 2025-09-29); each memory file back-pointed, vault note canonical for the idea. - N-now corrected in MEMORY.md: 49/84, down 11 — the counter is a rolling window. Steward-authorized. Trials: thread-query + Smart Connections, both graded 2026-10-05.

| User's English usage register — European/Fowler, not Chicago | Steward grew up with Chicago Manual of Style but is much more European in English usage (Fowler etc). For ARC editorial decisions, default to European register over American/Chicago conventions. | user | 3bf7ae75-1138-4745-9024-0c40b3755ad3 | claude-memory/user-english-usage-european-fowler |
Stated 2026-05-06 in context of Sources/bibliography spec decision: "I have the Chicago manual because I grew up with it, But I am much more a european in terms of English usage (fowler, etc)"
For ARC editorial work, this means:
- When typographic/editorial conventions diverge between Chicago/MLA (American) and Fowler/Bringhurst/European/British traditions, default to the European pole
- Bringhurst's Elements of Typographic Style sits closer to Harrison and the European register than Chicago does
- Em-dash spacing, punctuation, capitalisation defaults, bibliographic conventions — favour European usage
- This is not a polemic against Chicago; the Chicago Manual is a reference the steward owns, not a posture
- When citing typographic authority on questions of usage, prefer Fowler / Hart's Rules / Bringhurst over Chicago/MLA where there is a divergence
Concrete first instance: Sources/bibliography repetition convention (2026-05-06) — chose Bringhurst's three-em rule (———) following Harrison's Dominion of the Dead, against Chicago/MLA name-repeat practice. This was the substantive ground for the decision after typographer chavruta surfaced the divergence.
Cross-reference: ARC's voice gathering already weights European voices heavily (the §0 colophon-of-ARC frame, Vico/Leopardi/Harrison/Bachelard substrate). The European-English usage preference is consistent with this.
HARVESTED TO THE VAULT — 2026-08-24
The steward's verbatim and the thinking now live in 08. Notes/English usage — the European register.md ("English usage — the European register"), where they can be come
upon. The vault note is canonical for the idea.
This file keeps its own job — firing the rule at the moment it applies during a session — and is not a second copy of the claim. If the two ever disagree about what the steward said, the vault note governs and this one is corrected.
