Steward asked for these deleted. My stated grounds were wrong: I claimed twice that
git already held both pre-states, and it does not. Neither backup has an exact match
in history.
PENDING.md.bak-2026-07-28-pre-split is a SUPERSET of 8abfe88^ — it carries
PENDING-79/80/81, appended after the backup was taken and committed only as part of
the split, so the intermediate state was never its own commit. Its content is
otherwise fully covered: the union check proved 1845 of 1848 lines live in
PENDING.md + PENDING-archive.md, the 3 exceptions being stale header lines quoted
verbatim in 7f6157a.
MEMORY.md.bak-2026-07-27-pre-compact holds 8 lines absent from the current index —
older, fuller phrasings that the 2026-07-17 compaction deliberately slimmed, with
the detail relocated to tracker files. Superseded by design, but that snapshot
exists in no commit.
Committing them here makes the next commit's deletion recoverable by git show
rather than irreversible. Preserve, then delete.

# Claude Code Memory
|
||
|
||
## Standing preferences
|
||
- [CapableHands standing authorization](reference-capablehands-standing-authorization.md) — M4 mini david@10.0.1.136 durably authorized for remote OCR/inference; don't re-ask permission to use it (steward 2026-07-01).
|
||
- [Every canon doc's source lives in Chamber Sources](feedback-resolve-source-through-chamber-sources.md) — a canonical's source = whatever `resolve_archived_source` returns (the **Chamber Sources** folder; NEVER the master library or a path in a plan/doc/frontmatter); read the banked source record before calling a mismatch a defect; fix wrong/missing pins to golden standard. (Steward, 2026-07-24, after 3 corrections on the Levi omnibus source.)
|
||
- [Governance files are dotfiles symlinks](reference-governance-files-are-dotfiles-symlinks.md) — `~/PENDING.md`/`~/REVIEWED.md`/`~/CLAUDE.md` → `~/dotfiles/…`; Edit/Write refuse to write through a symlink, so **edit the real dotfiles path** when appending PENDING/REVIEWED.
|
||
- [Typography palace — query via CLI](reference-typography-palace-cli.md) — type masters (~20-21 sources) in a dedicated MemPalace at `~/.mempalace/palace-chamber-typography`; query `mempalace --palace <that> search "…"` (CLI). For ARC typography — don't re-ask where it lives.
|
||
- [Fowler's rules for quotation](feedback_fowlers_rules_quotation.md) — single quotes primary, double for nested, logical British punctuation order. Apply across all writing.
|
||
- [Canadian spelling in ARC prose](feedback-canadian-spelling-arc-prose.md) — centre/colour ("almost EU"); corpus "center" = autocorrect drift (10 files, cleanup open). Draft all steward-voiced prose in Canadian spelling.
|
||
- [Rank on fields you actually write](feedback-rank-on-fields-you-actually-write.md) — a consumer that ranks by an evaluative field (importance/weight) nothing populates silently degrades to trivial order while claiming to rank; verify scoring fields end-to-end, prefer signals already captured (recency). For BMF/CapableMind/studium-engine tool-building.
|
||
- [Shorter, concentrated sessions](feedback-shorter-concentrated-sessions.md) — steward preference (2026-07-13): shorter but very concentrated — ONE tightly-scoped high-leverage bite taken all the way, then wrap; hold the rest as ranked horizons.
|
||
- [Constitution-as-block, then pull-based corpus](feedback-constitution-as-block-then-pull-based-corpus.md) — steward discipline (2026-07-14): finish the **constitution as one block FIRST**, THEN corpus-into-spec **pulled by what each engine phase needs**. **Bounded question → bounded answer; don't surface N new threads**; keep open-thread count LOW. Above [[feedback-shorter-concentrated-sessions]].
|
||
- [Close thoroughly — no frequent deferrals](feedback-close-thoroughly-no-frequent-deferrals.md) — steward directive (2026-07-16): **frequent deferrals ARE how the cloud accumulated**; close ALL of a block that's closable-now; distinguish closable-now vs genuinely-blocked (**name the specific dependency**, never a vague defer). Completeness complement to [[feedback-constitution-as-block-then-pull-based-corpus]].
|
||
- [Checkable claim surfaces bugs](feedback-checkable-claim-surfaces-bugs.md) — insisting on a checkable claim (number, substrate-fact, discriminating test) over a soft classification repeatedly EXPOSES a real bug; the demand for verifiability is itself a defect-detector. Steward-named 2026-07-13. (Caught F-5 + the "finally" overclaim, 2026-07-17.)
|
||
- [Derive the rule from the consumer, not the survivor](feedback-derive-the-rule-from-the-consumer-not-from-the-survivor.md) — when two implementations of one field disagree, picking the survivor is **selection, not derivation**; derive from what a CONSUMER must do (both `source_lines` candidates were wrong on **complementary subsets** ⇒ no single sample distinguishes them ⇒ migrations must RECOMPUTE, and the fix is ONE imported implementation). Earned 2026-07-27, lintott off by 308 lines.
|
||
- [Census by mechanism, not proxy](feedback-census-by-mechanism-not-proxy.md) — a plan-of-record generalization must carry the instrument that can bear it; census by RUNNING the real pipeline, not a cheap proxy (class-volume ≠ fix-class); distrust the bucket that arrives when you want to feel done. The 2026-07-24 "31 heavy-styled = one fix" proved wrong on first real run (2026-07-25). Kin to [[feedback-completion-is-a-tripwire]], [[feedback-checkable-claim-surfaces-bugs]].
|
||
- [Completion is a tripwire](feedback-completion-is-a-tripwire.md) — the *feeling* of "done" is the cue to verify the tail (census/gate/scan-check), not the signal to ship; the last 10% is invisible from inside the first 90%. Ninety-Ninety as a security property (steward 2026-07-06).
|
||
- [Studium Engine charter](reference-studium-engine-architectural-charter.md) — the engine's constitutional doc (`studium-engine/docs/the-studium-engine-architectural-charter.md`): reasoner-at-centre over a BOUNDED provenanced corpus; three cognitions; boundedness=trust. Read before building the engine.
|
||
- [Studium Engine = Sixtus-V craftsman collaboration](feedback-studium-engine-sixtus-v-collaboration.md) — work the ground freely (I build, surface only vision-forks); **constraint-candidates** = 3rd governed instrument (I name, steward applies). Studium-engine only; heavier loop for L1/L2.
|
||
- [Trust prior pass frame](feedback-trust-prior-pass-frame.md) — When extending a prior verification, re-run it at the scope of the extension. Frame-inheritance from a deep-read is contamination shape: the prior pass tested what it tested; your extension claims things it did not test. Caught 2026-05-28 → four-pass audit. Verify-before-compose at draft time, not build time.
|
||
- [MemPalace is an unaffiliated stopgap](mempalace-is-unaffiliated-stopgap.md) — MemPalace is third-party; steward/Seb build BMF/CapableMind (hoped to replace it). Don't conflate them (3rd steward correction 2026-06-05 — the conflation even reached a skill name and was retracted); MemPalace PRs await MemPalace's maintainers, NOT Seb.
|
||
- [Skill-harvest register](skill-harvest-register.md) — **canonical home for proposed skills** (governed analog of PENDING.md for tooling). **FULL REVIEW RULED 2026-07-19, all four strokes** (⚖ block at top is authoritative): §3 consolidation BUILT · ladder batch-append + register compaction = next housekeeping slot. **`/jurist-package` BUILT 2026-07-20 (proven 2×); `/model-handoff` BUILT 2026-07-22** (charter-before-premium-switch; grounded in the stage-1-planning-brief exemplar) · `/graduate-chamber-source` hold-condition now MET (one-door lane RULED, v2.3.0 operative). **Register compaction + ladder batch-append = next FRESH-session slot** (register exceeds read caps — tripwire fired 2026-07-22 wake). **Patch BUILT 2026-07-20 (steward-authorized): `/jurist-package` — "trace a ruled finding's inference, not just its words" (Load-bearing disciplines; 2× jurist-caught).**
|
||
- [Copy-paste-clean governance drafts](feedback-governance-drafting-copy-paste-clean.md) — draft PENDING/REVIEWED placement blocks as plain fenced markdown; display formatting leaks into the placed record (REVIEWED-59 header, 07-16).
|
||
- [Verification ladder](reference-verification-ladder.md) — the named instruments (byte-identical compile gate, delta classification, censused-routes, fresh-clone gate, measure-toolchain-before-spec…); reach for the gate the claim's shape demands instead of re-deriving.
|
||
- [Plane coordination workflow](reference-plane-coordination-workflow.md) — CENTRAL to steward↔Seb (est. 2026-06-02): `app.plane.so/capablemind`, thin effort-tasks `[BM #N]` over canonical GH issues. ⚠ BBF = BetterBridge *product*, NOT the board. Plane MCP OAuth (`ToolSearch select:mcp__plane__*`); `create_work_item` needs `description_html`. Detail in file.
|
||
- [Resurface banked notes before re-deriving](feedback-resurface-banked-notes-before-rederiving.md) — when an idea was already captured (runbook known_gaps, skill-harvest, prior note), READ the note before re-deriving; re-derivation drifts (page-numbers mis-recalled as provenance vs structure-scaffolding, steward re-corrected 2026-06-27). The engine's own purpose, turned on my practice.
|
||
- [Verify-before-compose hook](feedback-verify-before-compose-hook.md) — chamber-library constitutional writes (spec · graduation-spec · *amendment*/*FOR-JURIST*/*JURIST-PACKAGE*) are BLOCKED by a PreToolUse hook unless they carry `<!-- GROUNDED-IN: … -->` + a Grounding section quoting the ratified sections. The action-time enforcement the prose lessons ([[feedback-resurface-banked-notes-before-rederiving]]) lacked; don't fight the block. Steward-directed 2026-07-17 after the re-derived-from-training failure recurred on #2.
|
||
- [Tool review after each use](feedback-tool-review-after-each-use.md) — steward directive (2026-06-16): review every tool we built after each run (success OR failure), capture what it taught, iterate until reliable; PASS-BUT-FALSELY is the priority signal. Log at `chamber-library/_curation/tool-evolution-log.md`. Proven same day (audit_cruft hardening → 160 hidden-dirty files surfaced).
|
||
- [Engine sources graduate to the permanent chamber](feedback-engine-sources-become-permanent-chamber-collection.md) — steward policy (2026-06-28): any work added for the engine ALSO becomes permanent chamber collection unless expressly stated; take it ALL the way (clean→verify→graduate→catalogue→sidecar); never leave staged. The chamber accumulates. ⇒ all ~30 Making sources graduate in.
|
||
- [Notes are part of the work](feedback-notes-are-part-of-the-work-keep-footnotes-endnotes.md) — steward directive (2026-06-28): footnotes/endnotes are integral — KEEP+CONVERT them (`<sup><a>`→`[^N]`), never drop on graduation. (Caught dropping Taylor's endnotes — wrong.)
|
||
- [The maturation of the chamber — a dialogue](../../../../_Dev/studium-engine/docs/the-maturation-of-the-chamber-a-dialogue-2026-06-28.md) — the pivotal 2026-06-28 exchange on the chamber's telos (fidelity-without-trust; reading-is-unsolvable-is-the-feature; L2/engine=answerable-not-pure). Companion to [[project-studium-engine-telos-chamber-of-voices]].
|
||
|
||
## Canonical Workstream Trackers
|
||
*Read the tracker for any active workstream at /wake-up before composing the briefing. Append substantive moves at /wrap-up. Per `feedback-canonical-workstream-tracker-discipline.md`.*
|
||
- **[Chamber as versioned releases (the governing frame)](project-chamber-versioned-releases.md) — steward reframe 2026-07-25: the full 2000-year Chamber (incl. image-based Warburg/Jung, Berger, Alexander) is the HORIZON; realize it as versioned releases with soft borders — "Chamber V1 = constitution vX + engine vY + a bounded voice-set, serving a specific PURPOSE" (Making Sequence · violin/XXI-century treatise · ARC). Purpose-first re-bounds the library work: the V-TEXT wave needn't all clear for V1. PENDING-75 kind-scoping = the enabler of additive version growth. Scope every library bite through this. Open decision: which purpose anchors V1.**
|
||
- [MemPalace wind-down](project-mempalace-winddown.md) — DONE (steward 2026-07-07): `palace-memory` wound down, wake/wrap rewired to the files layer; KG exported (`knowledge-graph.jsonl`). Typography palace KEPT (separate instance).
|
||
- [ARC open-work register](project-arc-open-work-register.md) — **the single code-verified source of truth for what is OPEN on ARC** (post-Stage-G, built 2026-06-11). Read THIS for remaining ARC work (A1 Vignette, A2 cul-de-lampe, content sweeps, Phase-2/held set, REVIEWED-placement debt), not the chronological tracker.
|
||
- [ARC](project-arc-rework.md) — canonical ARC workstream tracker (chronological record 2026-04-16 →). **Status: STAGE G DONE/SEALED (GPG `ac0a7ee`, 2026-06-10) — reactive mode governs.** Open work → [[project-arc-open-work-register]] (A1 Vignette · A2 cul-de-lampe · content sweeps · Phase-2 held set). Chronological detail in the tracker file.
|
||
- Chamber-typography — *tracker not yet established*; substantive moves live in per-session memories (2026-05-11 onward) + `project-chamber-cruft-restoration.md` + `project-chamber-typography-mining-plan-2026-05-15.md`.
|
||
- [Studium engine telos — the chamber of voices](project-studium-engine-telos-chamber-of-voices.md) — **the ultimate goal, above the build plan**: David's childhood chamber of hero-voices → discourse with his library + voices conversing, this time *accountably* (v1 was eloquent/unaccountable; same ambition built grounded/citable). Why verbatim fidelity is load-bearing.
|
||
- [Studium = CM's unfettered sandbox](project-studium-cm-sandbox-and-transfer.md) — Studium/chamber are personal projects Seb now sees as fundamental to CM; experiment freely on the library/engine without risking CM's runtime, breakthroughs transfer back (V2 verifier = live example). Steward-framed 2026-07-08.
|
||
- [Making sequence source set](project-making-sequence-source-set.md) — **COMPLETE against the ReadingList as of 2026-06-18** (reconciliation-verified); census of what's sourced where, sourced≠ingested (only Pos I in manifest), the **Handke-German decision** (original is source), the Levi drop-cap gate (RESOLVED STALE 2026-07-19 — initials present). Read before any Making/studium source work.
|
||
- [Source library — link + dedupe](project-source-library-link-and-dedupe.md) — steward's master ebook library = `~/Documents/___The Library [ePub_AWZ3]/` (2190 ebooks, messy nested). GOAL: link chamber↔sources (provenance index) + dedupe; real link needs EPUB/PDF internal metadata + edition-identity, not filenames. Detail + seed in file.
|
||
- [Character-as-image hazard](feedback-character-as-image-hazard.md) — some EPUBs render diacritics/non-Latin script as INLINE IMAGES; the standard image-drop SILENTLY MUTILATES them (PASS-BUT-FALSELY). **MECHANISM BUILT 2026-07-23 (REVIEWED-70/v2.5.0): `chamber-library/scripts/apply_char_glyphs.py`** — letter-adjacent glyph `<img>`→declared SOURCE Unicode (`graduation-spec.yaml` `character_as_image.glyph_map`, per-source), REFUSES unclassified (attest-never-default); wired into the born-digital lane as a hard precondition. §V Tier-3-by-omission is now constitutional. Discipline: VIEW the glyph, map to SOURCE form not "corrected" (ş cedilla, not ș). Census = 13/248-backup canonicals carry it (floor); per-source glyph-maps owed (Alter's Psalms among them).
|
||
- [Sidecar typology — protocol-dependent reading-indexes](project-sidecar-typology-protocol-dependent.md) — TWO layers: `.meta.json` structural sidecar = PROTOCOL-NEUTRAL (the graduated bar); reading-indexes (rich YAML) = PROTOCOL-DEPENDENT, probably PLURAL — **don't design the schema yet**; settle corpus to gold, let protocols declare themselves. Steward 2026-06-29.
|
||
- Studium Engine — *no tracker file yet*; moves in per-session memories + the **[architectural charter](reference-studium-engine-architectural-charter.md)**. Steps 0–7 built; corpus CLEAN; **V1 `verify-quote` BUILT + `fidelity_equivalence@2` GOVERNING (2026-07-19; @1 frozen; dash refused/evidence-gated; Greek/Latin census owed → @3)**. **Stage-1 rebuild plan** (`studium-engine/docs/stage-1-rebuild-plan-2026-07-05.md`): V0+N0 ruled · V1 done → V2→V4 / N1→N3. Collaboration = [[feedback-studium-engine-sixtus-v-collaboration]].
|
||
- [L1 reliability](project-L1-reliability.md) — canonical L1 tracker (est. 2026-05-28). Latest: N6 deploy #175 live+holds; CapableHands-as-BMF-clasp = PRIORITY (PENDING-41). L1 behind the Studium/chamber focus. Read the tracker before L1 work.
|
||
- [Be (laundromat)](project-be-laundromat.md) — canonical Be tracker (est. 2026-06-08). Be = Skemantix startup (Seb+David) funding CapableMind's ladder; **bridge, not venture**. Decisions LOCKED (entity/pricing/infra in file); a11y gate MERGED. **Pre-revenue WTP gate = renovate Pat → charge her; discipline: no new spec until it clears → nothing for executor on be.** Repo @ `f43a0fd`.
|
||
|
||
## Active Session
|
||
- [Session 2026-07-27 evening — governance currency, and the amendment that killed itself](session-2026-07-27-evening-governance-currency-and-the-amendment-that-killed-itself.md) — Steward asked a bounded question (*do the new models mean we should update our instructions?*) and the governance system returned ~500KB of process with **zero findings about new capabilities** — the leviathan diagnosing leviathans. **Answers: yes stale** (11 false state claims, 9 in the MemPalace section; Session Protocol step 5 names a file that never existed, so L150 makes the protocol **uncompletable**; session-start cost **2,766 lines / 528KB / ~132k tokens**, `PENDING.md` = 73%) and **no, not calibrated to current models** — three standing directives are *counterproductive per Anthropic's own docs*; effort/delegation/narration/deliverable-length appear nowhere. Grounded on current docs (the `claude-api` skill's table is cached 06-24 and **doesn't list Opus 5**): Opus 5 = 1M ctx, **half Fable 5's price**, thinking **on by default**, disable capped at effort `high`; effort guidance **inverted** from 4.7/4.8 (start `high`, step *down*); effort ≠ visible length. **9-run A/B/C eval** (n=1/cell): current block cost **357k vs 120k tokens** (7.1× on the bounded task) and **mutated a PRESERVE-flagged store**; but it found 2 real defects the others missed ⇒ *not waste, expensive* ⇒ make sweep **invocable, not standing** (L49 already says *"when asked to fix a bug"* — it **over-fired past its own trigger**). ⚑ **All three arms passed the false-premise guardrail, including the no-directives control** — the guardrails live elsewhere in the file. **Jurist REMANDED the amendment**: ran the package's own IV.2 refinement back across its census (which I hadn't) → **required count = 0 of 11** (`claude-md-gate-return-2026-07-27.md`); every false claim is steward-held or welded to a directive; only 5 defects are FIX-eligible, **all structural, zero state**. **Q2 RATIFIED as standing doctrine + *a negative command result requires a positive control*** (4 instrument failures today: piped exit codes ×3, self-matching grep, mis-bounded find). **Q5**: the eval can't bear a constitutional edit — 3 tasks contain no tail. **Jurist's framing challenge ACCEPTED by steward**: the MemPalace section + Active Projects horizons are **operational config filed in a constitutional instrument** — category error, remedy is extraction. **⚑ Answer to "where does operational config live": cadence, not topic** — doctrine (yearly, CLAUDE.md) / steward-held current state (monthly) / **derived state (continuous, never stored — computed at wake)**. **Tier 2 already exists: `MEMORY.md`** (chamber/studium mentions: MEMORY.md **21**, CLAUDE.md **0**) ⇒ §Active Projects is a stale parallel version, an L110 violation ⇒ **extraction = two deletions and a pointer.** **BUILT + WIRED (no authorization needed — detection ≠ correction): `~/dotfiles/scripts/governance-drift-check.py`** in `/wake-up` §2.c, 0.17s, positive-controlled both directions, reports **9**. **PLACED: PENDING-76** (remanded, withdrawal recommended) **· 77** (5 structural, newline first) **· 78** (`.app`, 3 false). `CLAUDE.md`/`REVIEWED.md` untouched. **PULLING THREAD: resolve the governance mess in ONE bounded session (session 1 tomorrow); session 2 = chamber/engine.** Chamber V1 displaced a 4th time but **deliberately, with a slot**.
|
||
|
||
## Historical reference → MEMORY-reference.md
|
||
Older archived-session pointers and the stable reference layer (steward profile · project-state detail · L1/L2/Chamber inventories · legacy pending-work · reference-file list) live in [MEMORY-reference.md](MEMORY-reference.md) — consult on demand; not loaded at wake. Recent cross-session trajectory comes from the Active Session entry above + the recent `session-*.md` files (wake §2.b.1; the MemPalace `handoffs` glance was retired 2026-07-07 with the wind-down).
|
||
|
||
## Index discipline (self-bounding — keep this file lean)
|
||
Wake-loaded live index; hard budget well under the harness load ceiling. Keep to: Standing preferences · Canonical Trackers *as one-line pointers* (chronological detail lives in the linked tracker files, **not** here) · Active Session · these pointers. Rotation + budget-breach handling are wired into `/wrap-up` (demote prior Active Session on promote) and `/wake-up` (truncated load = flag + trim). Back up before restructuring. (Compacted 2026-07-17: entries re-slimmed to tight one-liners, 20.5→<17.1KB.)
