arc-open-work-register-the-single-verified-source-of-truth-post-stage-g Consolidated, code-verified list of what remains OPEN on ARC after Stage G was sealed (2026-06-10). Reconciles the scattered tracking surfaces — the chronological tracker, the ~10 standalone project-arc-* files, PENDING.md, the spec's Phase-2/held set, and content sweeps — against actual code/live state. Built 2026-06-11 because the records had drifted BOTH ways (real open work hidden; done work mislabeled "pending"). Supersedes the standalone "-pending" files for STATUS; those remain for detail. The chronological narrative stays in project-arc-rework.md; this carries current open-work truth.

ARC open-work register

Single source of truth for what is OPEN on ARC. Built 2026-06-11, ARC main @ b220620, live. Each item verified against code/live where marked [verified]; [VERIFY] = status uncertain, check before calling done. The rigorous spec↔code half is /spec-code-audit; this register also carries the content/governance/Phase-2 surfaces that audit does not.

Why this exists. Stage G (sealed 2026-06-10) closed the spec, not ARC's work. Open items were scattered across the tracker, ten standalone project-arc-* files, PENDING.md, the spec's held set, and content sweeps in no spec. On 2026-06-11 several of those surfaces proved drifted in both directions (the AldineXXI selector index listed shipped features as "planned"; "pending" files described done work; real work sat unlisted). This register is the reckoning.

Legend: [OPEN] real remaining work · [DEFERRED] open by design, trigger-gated (Phase-2 / held / first-instance) · [DONE—retire] verified complete, the tracking file should be retired/archived · [VERIFY] needs a check.


A — Open build work (the two undesigned-SVG-asset items the spec names but never realized)

  • A1. Vignette (F+1) — the big remaining build. [OPEN] [verified] — 0 .vignette rules in compiled CSS, nothing rendered. Spec ready: vignette-specification.md (revised 2026-06-07, PENDING-31; build-time SVG+CSS renderer, Phase-α engine, zero-JS, AldineXXI §IX). Brief: drafts/vignette-spec-revision-brief-2026-05-28.md. The largest open build; the steward named it as "the big thing left."
  • A2. The cul-de-lampe — the designed Pause/Close ornament asset. [OPEN — undesigned] [verified] — AldineXXI §IV names the function (Pause = rare within-piece breath, smaller scale; Close = end-of-piece, the punto finale, full scale — "the visual signature of completion; finis coronat opus") but the actual designed SVG cul-de-lampe is undetermined — spec §IV "Open question: the designed Pause/Close ornament itself" [OPEN — 2026-05-03], "the asset itself is yet to be determined." [verified]: compiled CSS still carries the retired classes (.ornament.completion, .ornament.section, .ornament.chapter, …) and has no .ornament.close/.ornament.pause — the asset was never designed, so the migration never ran (interim: the three-dot .ornament from the 06-07 hr doctrine stands in for Pause-at-threshold). Sibling to A1. Design sub-questions (one asset at two scales vs paired-distinct; motif lineage — Aldine cul-de-lampe vs Roman/Pompeian) in project-arc-pause-close-ornament-and-hr-audit-pending. The content half is B3. (Caught by the steward 2026-06-11 — it was buried under the generic "ornament migration"; it deserves its own line as the crown of every finished piece.)

B — Open content sweeps (largely steward-owned, manual)

  • B1. Glimpse location + title cleanup. [OPEN — steward manual] [verified] — steward does this by hand (2026-06-11). 193 live glimpses; 4 lack location: frontmatter; titles need a cleanup pass. NB the glimpse rendering bugs (phone full-bleed, no-vessel) were fixed + deployed in Stage M — this is content/metadata, not code. Absorbs the residual of project-arc-apparatus-refactor-todo Tier 3 (EXIF/location for existing glimpses — now ~done).
  • B2. Threshold---- promotion walk. [OPEN — steward content track] — apply the 2026-06-07 differentiated-hr doctrine across existing pieces: a bare --- at a foreword→main-text threshold becomes .ornament (dots); --- within the body stays silence. Doctrine + CSS settled (§IV amended, zero CSS change); the per-piece content walk remains.
  • B3. Ornament content migration (Option A) — the content half of A2. [OPEN — gated on A2; scope VERIFIED 2026-06-11] — steward ruled Option A (2026-05-03): once the cul-de-lampe asset exists (A2), migrate content off the retired-ornament classes onto the canonical Close/Pause, then retire the old SCSS. Verified scope (sizable): ~95 content files carry hand-authored <div class="ornament …"></div> — completion ×51 (= the Close / end-of-piece, the cul-de-lampe's job), section ×50, thought ×14, chamber ×12, musical ×7, hermetic ×5, mathematical ×2, … Several variants (thought, mathematical) aren't even in the current CSS → they already collapse to bare .ornament. All retired per §IV; all await the designed asset. Not negligible, and not runnable until A2. Files: project-arc-ornament-spec-vs-content-mismatch-pending, project-arc-pause-close-ornament-and-hr-audit-pending.
  • B4. Major content audit / archive of non-current files. [OPEN — was deferred] — per ARC CLAUDE.md Known state: deferred until "the current version of the site is established; do not rearrange the content tree until that session." Stage G sealed arguably satisfies that condition now — candidate to schedule.

C — Deferred by design (Phase-2 / held — trigger-gated, NOT drift)

  • C1. Print/PDF posture + arc-typography.sty v0.3. [DEFERRED — Phase-2] — build the Print/PDF LaTeX templates; update tools/latex/arc-typography.sty (v0.2, found stale vs current doctrine 2026-06-10) to current spec (posture-aware ragged/justified, Medium headings, 27.2rem measure, British quote-norm, xelatex glyph routing). Governs all future ARC PDFs. File: project-arc-pdf-print-postures-session-plan.
  • C2. OpenType feature catalogue (§I.i.j). [DEFERRED — Phase-2] — feature→CSS mapping; the Stage-G audit (06-09) enumerated the set; the session opens against it. (zero absent from every EB Garamond face — recorded.)
  • C3. Held companions — Appendix D. [DEFERRED — Phase-2] — Navigation Philosophy, Print Stylesheet, Footnotes — named, not drafted; reactive, no date.
  • C4. §VII.d Footnotes / Endnotes. [DEFERRED — first-instance] — research/parked pending the first essay that needs the register.
  • C5. Held typographic options. [DEFERRED — held] — justification (→ print spec), hanging-punctuation (→ browser Baseline), word-spacing (held at 0.20em default), reader font-size control (held; the banish-JS gate's one named exception).
  • C6. Tombeau route. [DEFERRED — first-instance] — governed-but-unsurfaced; route + Compass slot emerge with the first Tombeau piece (non-convergence).
  • C7. Capsule apparatus. [DEFERRED — first-instance] — deferred, not rejected; reopens when pedagogical-treatise content begins (§XII.e locks with first instance). File: project-arc-capsule-apparatus-deferred-2026-05-05.
  • C8. Per-piece epigraph chancery features; metric-matched font fallbacks. [DEFERRED] — first-instance (epigraph chancery swsh+init+fina) / empirical SCSS-audit candidate (font-metric overrides).

D — Governance debt

  • D1. Place outstanding REVIEWED entries. [OPEN — steward writes REVIEWED] — PENDING-32 and PENDING-33 await REVIEWED placement; REVIEWED-36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 43 are drafted-for-placement (executed work, entries not yet placed). Constitutional: David/Claude.app write REVIEWED, not Claude Code.

E — Stale "pending" files — verified DONE; retire or archive

  • E1. project-arc-breadcrumb-spec-pending → [DONE—retire] [verified] — breadcrumb componentized + governed permanent sibling (2026-06-03); .breadcrumb lives in _navigation.scss.
  • E2. project-arc-mimesis-acquisition-debt → [DONE—archive] — RESOLVED 2026-05-20 (stated in-file). Chamber-library import, not ARC-site work.
  • E3. project-arc-404-page-design-pending → [DONE—retire] [verified 2026-06-11] — the file predates the §VII.h spec and is stale. Apparatus §VII.h (ADDED 2026-05-20) governs the 404; content/404.md + built _site/404.html conform exactly: <title>Animal Rationis Capax</title>, body "No text at this address.", real 404 via CloudFlare. Built and conformant, not "design pending." (Any future Close-ornament on it rides A2.)
  • E4. project-arc-apparatus-refactor-todo-2026-05-06 → [DONE—retire] — Tier 1/2 shipped (e2fb14c/249475b); Tier 3 glimpse location ~done (189/193) → residual in B1.
  • E5. project-arc-spec-master-typographer-audit-pending → [DONE—retire — superseded] [verified 2026-06-11] — the masters-compliance pass was performed: _audits/deep-typographic-audit-2026-06-09.md exists (6-agent, masters folded), atop the 06-07 full bidirectional + 06-10 spec↔spec coherence audits. Retire unless a specific uncovered master-compliance dimension is named.
  • E6. project-arc-web-typography-spec-coverage → [DONE—retire] [verified 2026-06-11] — Tier 1 all DONE (Lists/Code/Headings); Tier 2/3 DONE (Selection, Tables, Numerals, Smart-punct via §I.k). Only residual = the <abbr>/<mark> "styled-but-never-specced" corner; no ARC content meaningfully uses them — negligible, deferrable.

F — The chronological tracker

project-arc-rework.md is the narrative record, true through 2026-06-07 evening (last entry: the pre-3R Fowler note). It is owed compact appends for 06-08 → 06-11: W3R re-partition close + deploy; Wave 5 + measure→72ch + soft rag; Stage G CLOSED + reconciled + SEALED + GPG-signed (06-10); §VII.f running head + W1.15 compass presence-reveal shipped (06-11). The tracker's "CANONICAL STAGE STATUS" line (≈L3852, "as of 2026-06-05") is stale. This register now carries current open-work truth; the tracker carries the story. Tracker annotated to point here (2026-06-11).


Maintenance: update this register as items close; move [DONE—retire] files to an archive; promote [VERIFY] to a verdict once checked. Canonical current-state for ARC open work lives HERE — not in the scattered files, and not inferred from "Stage G is done."
