David F GliddenandClaude Opus 4.7 e9e772d69c memory: bundle accumulated 04-17/26 + lock ARC about-page architecture
Safety checkpoint before deep-audit Phase 0 of the ARC repo. Steward-authorized
commit-everything for rollback safety.

ARC architectural locks (2026-04-26 evening):
- Path 1 enfilade structure (separate Colophon and Lex items)
- 8-door enfilade locked: Colophon · Lex · Framework · Vignette · Attention ·
  Chamber · Tools · Now (+ Bio quiet link)
- Adsum and threshold-hic as two distinct texts on the reflowed About page
  (steward verbatim: "They are certainly not the same text")

ARC consolidation pass (canonical tracker project-arc-rework.md, +~700 lines):
fold 04-23 evening (Norris read), 04-24 (lex-method authored, posture cluster,
§XII Sidenotes, ARC CLAUDE.md cleanup), 04-25 (marks cluster, colophon-at-scale,
full Vico/Harrison lex-chain), 04-26 (chamber-library walk, cluster scaffolds,
canonical-tracker discipline surfaced).

Sibling-file integration: four 2026-04-26 frame files folded into the canonical
tracker (Integrations A/B/C/D) with INTEGRATED redirect notices retained as
audit trail.

New durable feedback memories:
- feedback-canonical-workstream-tracker-discipline (umbrella drift surfaced
  2026-04-26 by steward; proposes /wake-up + /wrap-up amendments)
- feedback-catalogues-stale-walk-trees (steward feedback on chamber-library
  catalogue currency)

Implementation plan drafted for the coming week: Phase 0 deep audit → Phase 5
cleanup, with steward additions on second pass (deep audit; Chamber v1 as own
browsable archive; clean rebuild of cluster sources rather than moving test
artifacts as canon).

Also bundled (untracked accumulation since 04-17):
- ~24 session memory + ledger files for 04-17 through 04-26 work
- ~10 feedback memories (BMF + ARC + working-method)
- 5 project memories (lex-as-method, strunk-white queue, plus today's four)
- 4 user memories (duality-rules, formation-practice, foundation-work, humic-layer)

Steward-side modifications also in this commit: ~/CLAUDE.md, bin/bmf-start.sh,
open-tasks.md, project-focus-april-may.md, session-2026-04-17 — all
pre-existing, not from today's session.

Prefer Latin "Manutius" over Italian "Manuzio" Steward prefers the Latin spelling "Manutius" when referring to Aldus / Aldo Manutius (Venetian printer, refined the comma c. 1490). Norris uses the Italian "Manuzio"; steward corrected 2026-04-23. feedback 0e858bcf-ef4e-46c6-9eca-abd19836786a

Manutius (not Manuzio)

Rule

When referring to the Venetian Renaissance printer Aldus / Aldo Manutius (c. 1449–1515), use the Latin spelling: Manutius.

Norris's Between You & Me uses "Manuzio" (Italian). Steward prefers the Latin form. When quoting Norris directly, leave her spelling intact; when writing in our own voice, use Manutius.

Why

Steward stated the preference directly (2026-04-23 evening): "in spite of Manutius (prefer the latin spelling of his name)". No further reason given, but consistent with his humanist-latinate register and with Manutius's own usage — his firm was the Aldine Press, he signed prefaces Aldus Manutius Romanus. The Latin is the name the man actually published under.

How to apply

  • In ARC context (style-guide, typology spec, AldineXXI discussions): Manutius.
  • When citing Norris's text: leave "Manuzio" in the quotation; switch to Manutius in our own commentary.
  • Applies to related forms: Aldus (not Aldo) unless quoting, Aldine Press (not a change; already Latin-derived).
