# Session Ledger — 2026-07-13
## Returns
- 2026-07-13T08:1x — RETURN on the wrap's stated integration point. The wrap said "wire verify_body_conservation into verify_graduation.py's collect_checks." Verified against substrate: WRONG LAYER. `collect_checks(fm,body,spec)` is documented pure + consumed corpus-wide by audit_corpus.py:154 (over rglob every canonical .md); embedding an expensive source re-convert there breaks purity + explodes the corpus-map cost. The spec ALREADY models `body_word_conservation` as its OWN gate (graduation-spec.yaml:136, distinct from verify_graduation.py:135). Correct integration = a NEW gate step in graduate_to_canonical.py, at the source-in-hand layer (with/after source_gate), NOT collect_checks. Answers the literal question.
- Literal-question ANSWER (substrate-verified): source IS reachable at gate-time — NOT from frontmatter `source:` (prose/bare-filename, e.g. Levi "olmOCR of Vintage International…"), but via gate zero's existing resolution: canonical_slug → Chamber Sources manifest (324 entries, each carries `archived_file`) or resolve_pending_source(slug) for a just-staged source. Source-access needs NO greenfield design — just a path-returning resolver sibling to manifest_has (which returns bool only). Tier derivable from archived extension (.epub→V-TEXT / .pdf→V-SCAN-abstain / Loeb DSL→V-DSL, forward-only: 0 Loeb canon graduated yet).
## Open horizons
- 2026-07-13 — STEWARD-FLAGGED, for step 5 (the sweep), NOT now: "cross-extractor drift-tolerance" is under-defined and doing real work in that sentence. Must be spelled out with the same rigor V-DSL's reflow-vs-loss got (the whole reason V-DSL needed rebuilding was reflow looking like loss) BEFORE the retroactive sweep runs — do not assume it from the name. Present a written definition for concurrence when step 5 comes up.
- 2026-07-13 — Integration point CONCURRED (steward): body_word_conservation lands as its OWN gate step in the graduation flow (with/after source_gate, source-in-hand layer), NOT inside collect_checks. FIX-class (where the call lives, not what it decides — the gate was ratified REVIEWED-57). Reuse gate zero's canonical_slug resolution (PENDING-52 holding under a use it wasn't built for). Build order: (1) resolver → (2) source_dispatch → (3) gate step → (4) spec reflect → (5) sweep [needs the drift-tolerance definition first].
- 2026-07-13T07:56 — PULLING THREAD: land the keystone. Wire `verify_body_conservation` into `verify_graduation.py` + `graduation-spec.yaml` (per-tier dispatch V-DSL/V-TEXT/V-SCAN → FLAG/REVIEW/PASS), fold the cross-extractor drift-tolerance (retroactive probe: 7/9 PASS, 2 false-positive stopword drift), run the diagnostic sweep → corpus-health map. PENDING-57 ratified (REVIEWED-57 filed), schema LOCKED, B2 fleet-v1 built.
- Literal question to answer FIRST: does the graduation candidate have its SOURCE reachable at gate-time (source_verified pin / resolvable path), or does source-access need its own small design before tier dispatch can call re-extract/re-convert?
## Confidence to recalibrate
- Hold today: a check proven for ONE tier is NOT proven for another (V-DSL≠V-TEXT — the k-gram false-flagged the DSL reflow 2026-07-12). When writing tier dispatch, demonstrate each tier, don't reuse-and-assume.
- Hold today: keystone-first / forest-view — don't lose altitude in the wiring engineering (2026-07-12 drift: lost-the-forest-for-the-trees in a long execution arc).
## Authorization moves
- 2026-07-13 — KEYSTONE LAID (FIX-class landing of REVIEWED-57). Steps 1–4 done + verified: (1) archive_sources.resolve_archived_source (path-returning sibling to manifest_has); (2) verify_body_conservation.tier_of + verify_candidate (one-call per-tier entry; header de-staled — REVIEWED-57 has ruled); (3) graduate_to_canonical.body_conservation_gate wired after source_gate (FLAG refuses / REVIEW holds / PASS+ABSTAIN proceed); (4) doc-currency: graduation-spec.yaml gate comment + chamber CLAUDE.md gate status (not-wired → WIRED). Evidence: seed-test still discriminates (legit-trim→REVIEW, interior-del→FLAG); real-data — Camus V-TEXT PASS @100%, Levi V-SCAN ABSTAIN; fleet 111→118 (2 new tests, 7 assertions). NOT committed (awaiting steward — push boundary held per the outward-action drift-pattern).
- HONEST LIMIT: no real FLAG/REVIEW case ran through the FULL graduate_to_canonical flow (the 7 inbox candidates were all pre-gated by health/conventions, so 0 reached the source-in-hand gate). The composition IS covered — seed-test proves verify_candidate's FLAG/REVIEW; the unit test proves body_conservation_gate's verdict→disposition mapping — but not a single real end-to-end FLAG-through-graduation.
- STEP 5 HELD: retroactive diagnostic sweep NOT done — blocked on the cross-extractor drift-tolerance definition (steward-flagged, above). Do not run the sweep until it's defined + concurred.
## Cross-extractor drift-tolerance — DEFINED (step 2, for concurrence)
- MECHANISM (not a threshold — the V-DSL-reflow parallel one level over): the retroactive sweep compares a LEGACY candidate (old extract_loeb_dsl, flattened, page-markers, dup headers) against the DSL reference (current strip_tags+_tokens). They differ by each side's KNOWN boilerplate, derived mechanically per-work:
· extractor_tokens (fab-side) = fixed Loeb subtitle {loeb,classical,library,bilingual,original,english,p} ∪ work-string tokens (the `# AUTHOR, Work` header).
· boilerplate_tokens (loss-side) = DSL labels {page,number,footnotes} ∪ work-string tokens (DSL per-page running header).
- PROVEN on 11 real books: 10/11 → PASS with residual EXACTLY 0 both sides (drift cancels completely, incl. Homer Iliad 298k). 1/11 (Aristotle Oeconomica) → FLAG, residual 216 = REAL (candidate has 97% of DSL Greek, missing ~187 Greek tokens) — tolerance did NOT wash out real loss.
- HONEST EDGE (the remaining rigor to settle before the sweep): the residual after accounting still needs a contiguity/position read to split TRUE loss (contiguous dropped run) from finer tokenization drift (scattered, esp. Greek elision/final-sigma/accent). The V-TEXT path's _uncovered_runs already does exactly this — apply it to the residual. Aristotle is the test case.
- DISPOSITION for the diagnostic sweep (read-only, produces the corpus-health MAP; not a hard forward gate): residual 0 → clean · residual>0 → surface by size + contiguity note for human triage → sizes the 952-book reprocess.
- Probe scripts: scratchpad probe_drift.py (raw) + probe_drift_accounted.py (mechanism). AWAITING STEWARD CONCURRENCE before building/running the 952-sweep.
## Sub-agent dialogues
## RETURN — the verse cluster (caught by staying with the run, 25-book batch)
- Built sweep_body_conservation.py (one-pass DSL index; live version-fab-cluster monitor; --validate OK). Ran 25 books: 14 CLEAN / 8 LOSS / 3 DRIFT?. STAYED WITH IT and a cluster formed: LOSS concentrated in Aeschylus verse with HUGE contiguity runs (persians 4081, suppliants 4118).
- First hypothesis "verse=Greek-loss" FALSIFIED same batch: Aristophanes acharnians/birds/clouds/frogs are CLEAN at 32-36% Greek (extractor CAN capture Greek verse fully). Magnitudes variable (persians 64% / suppliants 73% / eumenides 82% Greek captured) — no clean genre split.
- ROOT: the CONTIGUITY read (coverage/_uncovered_runs) is CONFOUNDED for bilingual verse by REORDERING — 50% of persians' "missing" Greek run appears elsewhere in the candidate. Coverage is blind to reordering (its own docstring caveat). My Aristotle "proof" was a clean contiguous PROSE drop — never exercised reordering. EXACTLY the steward's prediction ("_uncovered_runs hasn't been asked the verse question yet"). Proved the contiguity read on the one case that couldn't break it.
- RELIABLE signal = the MULTISET residual (classify_dsl, reordering-tolerant): persians genuinely 0.70 ratio / 64% Greek by COUNT → real deficit exists, but I CANNOT cleanly attribute it (real loss vs arrangement vs apparatus-handled-differently) with current tools.
- DECISION: STOPPED before the full 952 — a contiguity-based LOSS/DRIFT map would mislabel verse reordering as loss (a map that can't be trusted is worse than none — the substrate thesis). sweep tool NOT committed (classifier not corpus-ready for verse). Surfaced to steward for direction: (a) make the map's primary axis the reordering-tolerant multiset-deficit % + restrict contiguity to prose, or (b) understand the verse DSL-vs-extractor arrangement first.
## THE 952 SWEEP — ran, map produced, dominant cluster explained (staying-with-it caught it)
- MAP: CLEAN 802 · DEFICIT 144 (>25%:10, 10-25%:8, 1-10%:126) · REORDER? 6 · FAB? 0 · UNMATCHED 0. TSV: scratchpad/loeb-health-map.tsv (952 rows).
- Version-coverage monitor CLEAN: every residual-fab shape 1× (no vintage cluster) — the boilerplate set generalized across all 952. Steward's version-watch came up empty (good).
- DOMINANT CLUSTER = the small-deficit floor: 124/144 DEFICIT books hold 93-99% (1-10% bucket), same ~2-5% contiguous shape everywhere. PINNED IT: the block is the APPARATUS CRITICUS — editor names (Detlefsen/Mayhoff/Schneider/Gaza), ms sigla (codd/vulg/u), lacuna markers — across 4 max-diverse authors (Pliny/Cicero/Theophrastus/Aristotle). The old extract_loeb_dsl FLATTENED/dropped the apparatus footnotes; B2 (build_loeb_sidecar) PRESERVES them into typed sidecar fields. ⇒ NOT body loss — the steward's app[]-sidecar prediction CONFIRMED (he flagged exactly this before the run: "apparatus handled differently = a sidecar-modeling question, not reconversion"). These 124 are body-clean, apparatus-divergent.
- REAL large deficits: ~18 books >10% (athenaeus 70%/199k, macrobius 68%, longus 58%, catullus 57%, suetonius 34%, plutarch-moralia-other-fragments 22%, the Aeschylus verse 70-79%, aristotle history-of-animals 89.5%/21.8k) — a DIFFERENT phenomenon (real body loss / ref over-inclusion), mixed prose+verse. THIS is the target of the cause-investigation.
- 6 REORDER? (augustine confessions, galen art-of-medicine, aristotle problems, philo on-abraham, lucian dialogues-of-the-gods, diogenes 6.2) — arrangement; magnitude unresolved. Confound detector working.
- sweep_body_conservation.py BUILT + --validate OK. NOT committed pending steward read: should the DEFICIT label split into apparatus-divergent (body-clean) vs body-deficit, per the app[] frame? That reclassification is the steward's app[]-modeling territory.
## Apparatus split — factual question answered, content-detector rejected, magnitude split shipped
- Factual answer (steward's shaped-vs-accounted question) VERIFIED against substrate: apparatus-SHAPED, NOT accounted. 0 Loeb canonicals have .meta.json sidecars; build_loeb_sidecar = PROTOTYPE v0, NOT wired into graduation (~few dozen draft sidecars plato/ennius/plautus only). So the 93-99% floor is content-shape-diagnosed, not sidecar-verified.
- CONTENT apparatus-detector TRIED TWICE, REJECTED: apparatus INTERLEAVES with body, so a real body-loss run sweeps up embedded apparatus and OUT-SCORES genuine apparatus (Persians dens 0.052 > Pliny 0.048, even high-precision Latin-only). Shipping it would hide a real loss as apparatus — dangerous false-negative. Not shipped.
- SPLIT by MAGNITUDE (robust; apparatus inherently ≤~5%, so >10% deficit can't be apparatus): APPARATUS-SHAPED (holds≥90%, magnitude+spot-check diagnosis, minority=small real drops but all low-priority) vs BODY-DEFICIT (holds<90%, investigation target). GATE apparatus-credit FACT-GATED (populated app[] only, never the shape diagnosis) — documented in verify_candidate V-DSL branch; inert now (0 sidecars), blocked on B2 run.
- Committing sweep tool + map + gate-note (steward: commit once split's in, don't hold beyond).
## RETURN — restoring the REORDER? number exposed a matcher bug (steward-caught gap)
- Steward caught: I labeled REORDER? "magnitude unresolved" — WRONG, only the CAUSE is unresolved; the position-blind multiset deficit is a clean reportable number (Augustine 29673), never misbehaves for that bucket. My error (withheld a number that was in the data). Fixed: REORDER? now carries holds%+deficit, "known magnitude / unknown cause" said as both.
- Restoring the number EXPOSED a matcher bug: 4/6 REORDER? had holds≫100% (cand ≫ matched ref). Diagnosed: wrong DSL key chosen among near-duplicates — aristotle-problems (217k) matched 'Mechanical Problems' (21k) not 'Problems'; diogenes 6.2 matched '2.6 Xenophon' (83 sibling keys); augustine matched 'Confessions Books 1-8' (partial) not 'Confessions'. The extractor CANNOT add content, so cand>110% of source = reference wrong/partial.
- Scope quantified: 0/802 CLEAN have holds>110% (subset-match fear RULED OUT — matcher bug did NOT hide in CLEAN); contained to exactly the 4. 946 well-matched.
- FIX: MATCH-SUSPECT disposition (holds>110% → comparison invalid, no deficit/reorder claim), checked before CLEAN/deficit so a subset-match can't masquerade as clean. Leaves REORDER? = only augustine(104%)+philo(88%), the genuine known-mag/unknown-cause cases. Re-running (sweep4).
- FOLLOW-UP (noted, not this session): the matcher's key-selection among near-duplicate/split DSL keys needs improvement (exact-title preference + granularity aggregation) — but MATCH-SUSPECT flags them honestly meanwhile.
## Bypasses
## State at wake
- Dotfiles dirty: `M claude/memory/skill-harvest-register.md` uncommitted (likely prior wrap's §1.6 append unpushed) — surfaced at wake, not touched.
- One new chamber commit since wrap: `378efdc` gitignore comment-format fix (trivial, beside the thread).
