What

.claude/plans/mul-ewa-trust-propagation-v1.md — PROPOSED, plan/board only, no code. Operator arc: "check epistemic potholes > revision in kanban y rubicon model""check for synergies MUL <> EWA""please explore for possible integration plan."

The verified state it builds on (all file:line-pinned this session)

  • MUL is point-wise and scalarMulAssessment (contract/src/mul.rs:50-61) carries TrustQualia{value: f64, texture}, DK position, homeostasis, free-will modifier; zero variance/covariance/propagation surface anywhere in MUL, zero MUL↔jc cross-references.
  • jc's EWA sandwich is the certified propagation operatorΣ_path = M_n·…·M_1·Σ_0·M_1ᵀ·…·M_nᵀ, Pillar 6 (2×2, tightness 1.467× ≤ 1.75) / Pillar 7 (3×3, PSD ≥ 0.999) — "filling indirect unknowns," applied to trust itself.
  • The revision exit already exists: KanbanColumn::Plan = 4"re-enter Planning carrying the witness" — the kanban×Rubicon model's epistemic-pothole handler, forward-only preserved.
  • The composition-legality question is already owned by jirak/pearl/ewa_sandwich (EPIPHANIES:12867, deferred) — this plan produces measured input to it, not an answer.

The waves

wave what gate
W0 jc provers green in-checkout + inlined-sandwich parity (jc stays zero-dep by constitution; probe lives in deepnsm-v2) F-MEP-0 disable-verified
W1 — STOP scalar vs sandwich suspicion rankings over real multi-hop chains: divergence (ρ < 0.95) + S4-guarded error prediction + stamp-shuffled null F-MEP-1/2/3; identical rankings ⇒ NO-BUY immediately
W2 Option<TrustSigma> DTO — no tenant carve, no layout bump, minted only if W1 forces it F-MEP-4 consumer-build gate
W3 advance_on_gate Commit→Plan flip rate — the epistemic-pothole detector quantified, two-sided (flips concentrate on flagged chains AND clean chains stay silent) F-MEP-5
W4 explicit BUY / NO-BUY, numbers banked either way

Fences

Ground truth comes ONLY from the S4-guarded BeliefArena — never the TD-NARS-REVISION-UNGUARDED confidences ("suspect upward" per the board's own ledger). The gate rename stays blocked on F-MUL-6. mul-calibration-not-verdict-v1's thesis is fed, not amended. The tarski register stays HELD. E-3DGS-MU-HYDRATION-1's dropped EWA-semiring claim is not resurrected.

Board hygiene (same commit)

INTEGRATION_PLANS.md prepend · STATUS_BOARD.md D-MEP-0..4 (Queued) · supersession index regenerated (diff = the plan's own GateDecision READ row, mechanical and expected).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a proposed plan for evaluating trust propagation across multi-step derivation and reference chains.
    • Documented parity checks, ranking comparisons, prediction safeguards, compatibility gates, measurement probes, and BUY/NO-BUY criteria.
  • Chores
    • Updated planning indexes, status tracking, routing references, and coverage totals.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Recorded issues involving coverage reporting, value conflicts, validation logic, and hydration requirements.
    • Clarified gated transition measurement and routing behavior.

.claude/plans/mul-ewa-trust-propagation-v1.md — PROPOSED, plan/board
only. MUL is point-wise and scalar (MulAssessment, verified: no
variance/propagation surface anywhere); jc's certified EWA sandwich
(Pillars 6/7) is the workspace's lawful uncertainty propagation
operator; KanbanColumn::Plan = 4 (re-enter Planning carrying the
witness) is the revision exit a propagated number would calibrate.

W0 parity-anchors an inlined 2x2 sandwich against jc's certified
output (jc stays zero-dep by constitution; the probe lives in
deepnsm-v2). W1 is the STOP gate: scalar vs sandwich suspicion
rankings over real multi-hop chains must diverge (rho < 0.95) AND the
sandwich must predict S4-guarded error signals better — never the
TD-NARS-REVISION-UNGUARDED confidences (fence, not target), with a
stamp-shuffled null. W2 is an optional DTO-only Option<TrustSigma>
(no tenant carve, no layout bump, minted only if W1 forces it). W3
probes the Commit->Plan flip rate on advance_on_gate — the
epistemic-pothole detector quantified, two-sided. W4 is an explicit
BUY / NO-BUY.

Delineation: feeds mul-calibration-not-verdict-v1's thesis with
calibration data, renames nothing (F-MUL-6 block respected), uses
dialectic-engine-v1's arena as instrument only, leaves the tarski
register HELD, resurrects none of E-3DGS-MU-HYDRATION-1's dropped
EWA-semiring claim.

Board hygiene same-commit: INTEGRATION_PLANS prepend, STATUS_BOARD
D-MEP-0..4, supersession index regenerated (the diff is the plan's
own GateDecision READ row — mechanical, expected).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an unbuilt MUL-EWA trust-propagation plan. It defines parity checks, statistical measurements, STOP/BUY criteria, DTO compatibility checks, phase-transition metrics, and board tracking updates. Existing implementation wiring remains unchanged.

Changes

MUL-EWA trust propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Trust propagation plan
.claude/plans/mul-ewa-trust-propagation-v1.md
Defines carrier options, checked-fixture parity, one-observation-per-chain testing, normalized trace evaluation, TrustTexture mapping, and FlowState handling.
Measurement gates and integration decision
.claude/plans/mul-ewa-trust-propagation-v1.md, .claude/board/INTEGRATION_PLANS.md
Defines deferred carrier selection, DTO compatibility checks, reachable Evaluation outcomes, Commit to Hold/Prune flip-rate measurement, and bounded BUY/NO-BUY rules.
Board tracking and issue constraints
.claude/board/STATUS_BOARD.md, .claude/board/SUPERSESSION-INDEX.md, .claude/board/ISSUES.md
Adds proposal deliverables, updates generated counts and READ routing, and records supersession, tenant, layout, hydration, and routing issues.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3dcb7

This PR only adds planning and board material, so it does not change production runtime behavior, but its measurement gates still leave source provenance, permutation design, outcome normalization, texture mapping, pass criteria, and threshold changes insufficiently defined; without those clarifications, the resulting BUY/NO-BUY decision could be non-reproducible or misleading, so merge should wait for explicit owner resolution.

A rabbit checks each trust-chain seam,

And measures every gate and stream.

Comment thread .claude/plans/mul-ewa-trust-propagation-v1.md
1. W3's headline metric was UNMEASURABLE. "Commit->Plan flip rate"
   cannot be observed through advance_on_gate: advance() takes "the
   first non-Prune successor" and Evaluation's next_phases() is
   [Commit, Plan, Prune], so it returns Commit always; veto() gives
   Prune; Hold gives None. Reachable set is {Commit, Prune, None}.
   Re-scoped to the Commit->{Hold,Prune} flip rate.

   The finding is worth more than the metric it cost, so it is
   recorded rather than papered over: KanbanColumn::Plan -- the
   revision exit this whole plan is motivated by -- is legal in the
   DAG but emitted by NO named routing primitive. Whether that is
   intentional Rubicon discipline or an omission is an open operator
   question, logged as ISS-KANBAN-PLAN-EXIT-HAS-NO-NAMED-ROUTE. No
   code depends on its resolution.

2. Option<TrustSigma> does NOT confer source compatibility.
   contract::mul::TrustQualia is a pub struct with pub fields and no
   #[non_exhaustive], constructed by literal in-tree (exploration.rs:907,
   mul.rs:603, :887) and externally; any added field breaks them with
   E0063. W2 is now a construction-path decision (non_exhaustive +
   ctor / side table / K2-only, with K2-only the default), and
   F-MEP-4 is two-sided so the gate must prove it can SEE the
   breakage. Also names the second TrustQualia (planner/mul/trust.rs).

3. K2 was underspecified. A symmetric 2x2 needs three values and the
   sandwich needs a hop transform M_k, while NarsTruth supplies two
   scalars. Defining (Sigma_0, M_k) is now D-MEP-1's first
   deliverable, with F-MEP-1b requiring the probe to REPORT
   algebraic equivalence when M_k is isotropic rather than dress it
   up as a difference.

In @.claude/plans/mul-ewa-trust-propagation-v1.md:
- Line 1: Update the plan title and any corresponding description of the
sandwich operator to use “candidate” or “hypothesized” wording rather than
asserting it is lawful. Preserve “certified” exclusively for jc’s numerical
implementation properties, and keep the stated deferral of composition legality
consistent with the no-resurrection fence.
- Around line 83-89: Define a single fixed feature mapping and normalization for
TrustSigma before W1, ensuring every per-hop covariance uses the same value and
calibration axes regardless of whether inputs come from NarsTruth or
SelectionalFit/OCR. Document the chosen mapping so traces and eigenvalue
rankings remain comparable.
- Around line 91-96: Update the W0 parity design around the probe’s inlined 2×2
sandwich math so it has an executable comparison against jc::ewa_sandwich
without violating the probe’s contract-only dependency boundary. Add either a
separate comparison harness or a checked fixture generated from the same jc
checkout, and ensure W0 fails when the inlined result diverges from the
certified output.
- Around line 109-126: Revise W1 to predeclare the statistical protocol before
execution: specify the chain cohort, a single EWA readout, tie and missing-value
handling, minimum sample size, leakage-safe evaluation split, comparison metric,
and required effect-size or confidence threshold for F-MEP-2. Keep the existing
divergence, independent S4-guarded error-signal, and stamp-shuffled-null
requirements, and define “better” and BUY eligibility using only these
predeclared criteria.
- Around line 138-151: Before collecting W3 data, define the deterministic
mapping from propagated Σ to TrustTexture used by advance_on_gate, including its
formula, threshold, and tie behavior; alternatively, pre-register every
evaluated mapping and the rule for interpreting their results. Keep W3 as a
probe only: do not change advance_on_gate’s signature or default.
- Around line 128-136: Before adding the optional TrustSigma field to the public
TrustQualia struct, define the compatibility scope for existing struct literals
and serialized DTO consumers. Preserve None fallback semantics, and add the
required migration or compatibility tests for any external boundary or update
affected construction sites so the existing consumer-build contract remains
intact.

Reconcile D-id range handling in board coverage.

The generator extracts only D-MEP-0 from the plan’s D-MEP-0..4 range and excludes .claude/board/STATUS_BOARD.md from its board input. Thus, the five deliverables cannot affect 1/2. Expand the range or list all D-ids explicitly, include STATUS_BOARD.md, and regenerate the index.

Verified and correct on the facts — the generator does extract only D-MEP-0 from the D-MEP-0..4 range, and it does exclude STATUS_BOARD.md from its board input. Deliberately not fixed in this PR, for one reason:

.claude/tools/supersession_index.py is shared by every plan in the repo, and its output is CI-gated (regenerate-and-diff). Changing its D-id range expansion or adding STATUS_BOARD.md to its inputs would silently re-scope every other plan's coverage number in the same commit — a plan-PR diff would then carry an unrelated, repo-wide governance change that no reviewer of this plan asked for or is reviewing. That is the drive-by this repo's own board-hygiene rule exists to prevent.

The finding is real and worth doing on its own: it affects every plan that writes a D-id range rather than enumerating, so it should land as a generator PR with its own before/after coverage diff across all plans, so the re-scoping is visible and reviewable. Raised to the operator for that separate PR rather than bundled here.

Note this PR does regenerate the index in-commit (§6 requirement), and regenerate-and-diff is green on 9658152 — the index is current for the generator as it exists today; the finding is that the generator's own extraction rule is narrower than the plan's notation.

@AdaWorldAPI, thanks for the detailed verification.

I agree with the scope decision. The generated index is current for the existing generator. Changing D-id range parsing or board inputs requires a separate generator-focused PR with a repository-wide coverage diff.

The finding remains valid, so I will keep this thread open without requesting a change in this PR. Would you like me to create a GitHub follow-up issue for the generator work?

Thanks — and no GitHub issue needed, because this repo tracks exactly this kind of item on its own board rather than in GitHub issues.

Filed as ISS-SUPERSESSION-GENERATOR-DID-RANGE-NARROW in .claude/board/ISSUES.md (commit eb74306), carrying both halves of the finding — the narrow range extraction and STATUS_BOARD.md's absence from the board-input set — plus the scope reasoning you agreed with, and the requirement that the eventual fix ship with a repo-wide before/after coverage diff. It's recorded as affecting every plan using range notation, not just this one, so a future session picking it up gets the general problem rather than this PR's instance of it.

@AdaWorldAPI, thanks for the clarification.

ISS-SUPERSESSION-GENERATOR-DID-RANGE-NARROW is the appropriate follow-up record. It includes both generator limitations and the required repository-wide coverage comparison. No GitHub issue is needed.

The generator change remains outside the scope of this plan-only pull request. The finding stays open for the separate generator-focused work.

cited crates/symbiont/src/kanban_loop.rs as evidence. symbiont is
DEPRECATED (operator no-go 2026-08-18) -- a dormant excluded crate,
never a live surface -- so citing it as evidence about live behaviour
was the same error class as citing a stale doc. Re-verified on live
surfaces only: the verdict HOLDS and is stronger than first stated.
lance-graph-planner/src/persist_sink.rs:707-724 guards three deep
before mutating -- OwnerMismatch, then StalePhase, then the CHECKED
try_advance_phase whose Err becomes PersistError::Illegal. The
unchecked advance_phase at :776 is inside #[cfg(test)] (block opens
at :731). owner_adapter.rs does not mutate at all.

Wording (CodeRabbit Major): the title asserted the sandwich is the
"lawful" propagation operator while §1 defers composition legality to
jc. Retitled to CANDIDATE and added a wording-discipline note:
"certified" is reserved for jc's numerical properties (PSD, tightness),
never for the semantic claim under test.

W0 (CodeRabbit Major): a contract-only probe cannot call
jc::ewa_sandwich, so the stated parity gate was unexecutable. Replaced
with a checked-fixture path -- a jc-side generator emits seeded
(Sigma_0, M_k, Sigma_out) triples carrying the jc commit SHA; the probe
diffs against that. jc's zero-dep constitution stays intact.

W1 (CodeRabbit Major): the protocol is now PREDECLARED as a table --
cohort (hop-length >= 2), ONE readout (trace, eigenvalue explicitly not
evaluated), tie convention, missing-data exclusion with reporting,
n >= 200 or UNDERPOWERED-and-stop, held-out split, AUC metric, and a
BUY threshold of dAUC >= 0.05 clearing the null by >= 2 sigma. "Better"
has no meaning outside that table.

W3 (CodeRabbit Major): the Sigma -> TrustTexture mapping is predeclared
and single -- trace percentiles (50th/90th) from the W1 held-out half,
ties to the lower-suspicion texture, Underconfident never produced,
FlowState held fixed so only the input under test varies.

Board: MD058 blank line after the D-MEP table; D-MEP-3 row re-worded to
Commit->{Hold,Prune} to match the corrected W3.

NOT done, deliberately: CodeRabbit asks to change
.claude/tools/supersession_index.py's D-id range handling. That
generator is shared by every plan in the repo; changing it as a
drive-by inside a plan PR would silently re-scope every other plan's
coverage number. Raised for its own PR instead.

merged unreviewed in #1072

LIVE FINDINGS on this PR (both CodeRabbit, both verified correct):

1. The scalar baseline is now PREDECLARED as the PRODUCT of per-hop
   trust, with `min` explicitly rejected. This is forced by the math,
   not chosen: under the control form M_k = sqrt(t_k)*I the sandwich
   gives Sigma_n = (prod t_k)*Sigma_0, so trace scales by the product.
   Baselining against `min` would make arm (b) differ from arm (a) for
   a reason unrelated to propagation -- a manufactured BUY. Readout
   normalization fixed with it: both arms report
   trace(Sigma_n)/trace(Sigma_0), unitless, one scale.

2. The {Commit, Prune, None} reachable set is now qualified by
   STARTING PHASE -- it holds from Evaluation, which is where W3
   measures and the only phase whose successors include Plan at all.
   From other phases Flow yields that phase's own first non-Prune
   successor. Same qualification added to the ISSUES entry, which had
   inherited the imprecision.

DEFECTS THAT MERGED UNREVIEWED (#1072), now filed so they cannot be
implemented silently. All three were found by reviews that landed
after the merge; I had reported "green, no open threads" from a
check-runs poll taken before the reviewers finished writing.

- ISS-TOKEN-TENANT-16-COLLIDES-WITH-HOLEV3 (BLOCKS D-TVT-2):
  INTEGRATION_PLANS.md:653 records HoleV3 = ValueTenant 16 as a hard
  blocker; the merged plan assigns Token = 16. Two tenants claim the
  same discriminant on main. Root cause worth generalizing: the plan
  checked that BoardAggregates re-bases -- the reservation adjacent to
  the enum -- and never swept the board for other pending claims on
  that ordinal.

- ISS-TVT-3-DISABLE-RUN-IS-VACUOUS: verify_layout() inspects only the
  three fixed NODE_ROW_COLUMNS entries, never the nested tenant
  descriptors, so F-TVT-3's prescribed disable cannot fail. A vacuous
  falsifier shipped inside a plan that invokes the falsifiability rule.

- ISS-TVT-HYDRATION-REGION-CLAIM-WRONG: the plan says from_env()
  returns None on a missing AWS_DEFAULT_REGION; env.rs:56-59 defaults
  it to "auto". I read and quoted that code correctly in session and
  then wrote the plan against it wrongly. Same entry records the
  lower-severity remainder (candidate-B continuation contract, missing
  W1/W4 thresholds, mint_for vs "No V1 mints").

All three CodeRabbit Majors verified correct and fixed:

- Split was underspecified ("held-out half" / "other half" named no
  assignment rule, so repeated runs could partition differently and
  produce different BUY decisions). Now deterministic and leakage-safe:
  partition key is the chain's ROOT SUBJECT id -- never the chain id,
  since two chains sharing a root would otherwise straddle the split
  and leak -- with half = blake3(root ‖ "mep-w1-v1")[0] & 1. Half 0
  fits, half 1 evaluates once. The salt is part of the
  pre-registration so a re-run reproduces the identical partition.

- AUC is undefined on a single-class evaluation half, and n >= 200
  does not prevent that. Both halves' class counts are now reported
  unconditionally, and a single-class half stops as UNDERPOWERED --
  deliberately not NO-BUY, because a degenerate split is a statement
  about the cohort, not about the operator under test.

- W3's percentile mapping was implementation-dependent. "Clean chain"
  is now defined as zero S4 error events in the W1 fit half -- the
  same binary signal W1's AUC uses, so the waves cannot drift on what
  clean means -- with nearest-rank percentiles (no interpolation) and
  an UNDERPOWERED exit when the clean set is empty or N < 50.

Also files ISS-SUPERSESSION-GENERATOR-DID-RANGE-NARROW: the generator
reads D-MEP-0..4 as D-MEP-0 alone and excludes STATUS_BOARD.md from its
inputs. Recorded on the board rather than fixed here, with the scope
reasoning that CodeRabbit accepted -- the fix re-scopes every plan's
coverage number and needs its own PR with the full before/after diff.

CodeRabbit outside-diff Major, verified correct: the metric named a
flip RATE without saying what it is a fraction of, so the number was
not reproducible.

Predeclared: the denominator is only those qualifying chains whose
LOCAL arm reaches Commit, never all qualifying chains. A chain that
never gated Commit locally cannot flip from Commit, so including it
would dilute the rate with cases the metric is not about and let the
number move purely by cohort composition. Numerator and denominator
now share one population.

Zero denominator reports N/A with the count, never 0.0 -- zero flips
out of zero opportunities measures nothing, and 0% would read as "the
propagation changed nothing" when the truth is "the arm never ran".

The three inline findings from the same review batch (deterministic
split, single-class AUC exit, W3 percentile specification) were
already fixed in eb74306; that run had not yet seen it.

CodeRabbit review d9dee300 against f8fd8cc — the first run to evaluate the
current content rather than an earlier revision. All four findings are real
defects in the pre-registered decision rules, not wording.

1. Zero-trace seed (readout undefined). The seed rules required `s12 = 0`
   but never required a positive diagonal, so `s11 = s22 = 0` gives
   `trace(Sigma_0) = 0` and the normalized readout divides by zero. Adds a
   `trace(Sigma_0) > 0` precondition; a failing chain is excluded wholesale
   with its count reported, never mapped to 0/1/NaN. Such a seed asserts
   perfect certainty on both axes, so there is no uncertainty to propagate
   and including it would tie the two arms for a non-propagation reason.

2. Per-half minimums. `n >= 200` was a cohort-level total and said nothing
   about how the chains landed either side of the hash split, so a small
   two-class evaluation half could pass while producing an unstable AUC.
   Adds independent per-half floors (>= 50 chains, >= 10 positive and >= 10
   negative S4 events), declared before any run so they cannot be relaxed
   after seeing which one bites. Also states explicitly that the ΔAUC the
   BUY rule reads is computed on half 1 alone; half 0's is diagnostic only.

3. Anti-predictive rankings could BUY. The rule checked only ΔAUC, so
   `AUC(b) = 0.20` over `AUC(a) = 0.10` cleared the bar while both arms
   ranked backwards — buying a bigger error. Adds `AUC(b) > 0.5` as a
   condition alongside ΔAUC >= 0.05 and the 2-sigma null, and requires the
   probe to report a both-arms-inverted result explicitly rather than
   filing it as a quiet NO-BUY, since that is a finding about the suspicion
   construction itself.

4. Percentile boundary contradiction. "at or above the 90th =>
   Overconfident" contradicted the ties-to-lower-suspicion rule, giving a
   value equal to p90 two possible textures. Replaced with explicit,
   non-overlapping, exhaustive intervals whose boundaries all close
   downward, so the tie rule is arithmetic rather than a separate sentence
   that can disagree with the intervals.

Supersession index regenerated (no diff — no ruled symbol changed).

Use the normalized W1 readout for W3 cut points.

§3 fixes the comparison readout as trace(Σ_n)/trace(Σ_0), but W3 says it uses trace(Σ) and derives thresholds from raw traces. Chains with different seed traces can then receive textures based on seed magnitude rather than propagated change. State the exact normalized scalar used for p50 and p90, or explicitly re-register a different readout.

…holes

CodeRabbit review c4ecebff against 4d94c5d — six findings, all real, all the
same class as the previous round: pre-registration holes that would let a
decision be made after seeing numbers.

Readout (2 sites + the canonical row). W3 derived its p50/p90 cut points from
RAW trace(Sigma) while §3 had fixed the comparison readout as
trace(Sigma_n)/trace(Sigma_0). Raw traces are not comparable across chains
with different seed magnitudes, so those cut points would have sorted chains
partly by how uncertain they STARTED rather than by what propagation did —
handing Overconfident to any big-seed chain. Fixed in W3, and fixed at the
source: the protocol table's readout row said raw trace too, which is where
W3 inherited it from. Also removed a leftover "largest eigenvalue or trace"
at the arm definition — an unfixed choice sitting one paragraph from the
table that fixed it.

F-MEP-5 was a vacuous gate. "Flips must CONCENTRATE" and "must not flip"
named no statistic, no threshold and no minimum count, and the can-stay-
silent half passed AUTOMATICALLY whenever no clean chain reached local
Commit: zero flips out of zero opportunities read as "correctly silent"
having observed nothing. That is the exact vacuous-guard defect the repo's
falsifiability rule exists to catch, reproduced inside the test written to
catch it. Now: flagged/silent populations defined, both restricted to
local-Commit reachers, minimum 20 opportunities EACH (below either =>
UNDERPOWERED, not PASS), concentration requiring both a 2x ratio AND a 0.10
absolute gap (a ratio alone passes at 2% vs 1%), silence capped at 0.20.
Marked POLICY PINS, not measurements, with a re-pin-don't-relax rule.

W3 evaluation population. The split gave half 1 to W1 evaluation but W3
never said which half it measures. On half 0 it would evaluate outcome-
derived cut points on the data they came from. Now half 1 only; half 0 fits
cut points; W4 consumes the half-1 number and no exploratory half-0 result.

F-MEP-1 zero-variance guard. Spearman rho is undefined when either arm's
scores are all tied. The NaN would have compared false against 0.95 under
IEEE 754 and silently read as "diverged" — waving the run through the gate
whose whole job is catching a non-divergent pair. Now: distinct-score counts
reported, < 2 distinct => UNDERPOWERED.

Observation unit. Undefined, so an event-rich chain could enter the AUC
repeatedly and weight it by event count, and the per-half floors would count
different things in the two halves. Now exactly one score and one binary
label per chain (label = 1 iff >= 1 S4 event); counts still reported as the
F-MEP-5 concentration input but never weights.

F-MEP-3 null. "Beat a null by 2 sigma" named neither distribution nor side.
Now: 1000 redeals with reproducible seeds, statistic is dAUC itself on
half 1, one-sided (the claim is directional), and sd(null) == 0 is
UNDERPOWERED rather than an automatic pass — a collapsed bar clears on any
positive observed value, i.e. a gate that cannot fail.

The three outside-diff findings — all fixed in 4d0c5e6

These three had no inline thread to reply on, so they're answered here. All three were correct, and one of them was the worst defect in the plan so far.

1. W3 used raw trace(Σ) where §3 had fixed the normalized readout

Real internal contradiction, and the consequence you named is the point: raw traces are not comparable across chains with different seed magnitudes, so percentile cut points over them would have sorted chains partly by how uncertain they started rather than by what propagation did — handing Overconfident to any big-seed chain regardless.

Fixed in W3, and fixed at the source: the protocol table's own readout row also said raw trace(Σ), which is where W3 inherited it from. Leaving that row would have re-seeded the same ambiguity for the next reader. The row now states the normalized scalar, notes the seed's trace(Σ₀) > 0 precondition is what makes it well-defined, and says explicitly that every wave uses this one scalar — W1's ranking and W3's p50/p90 alike.

While there I removed a third instance: the arm-(b) definition still read "largest eigenvalue or trace" — an unfixed choice sitting one paragraph above the table that fixed it. So this finding was really three sites, only one of which you could see from the diff.

2. F-MEP-5 was a vacuous gate — and vacuous in the exact way this repo has a rule about

The sharpest of the six. "Flips must CONCENTRATE" and "must not flip" named no statistic, no threshold, and no minimum count. But the auto-silence hole you identified is the serious half: the can-stay-silent check passed automatically whenever no clean chain reached local Commit — zero flips out of zero opportunities, which the gate would read as "correctly silent" having observed nothing at all.

That is precisely the vacuous-guard defect CLAUDE.md § falsifiability rule exists to catch ("a guard that cannot bark is the defect one level up"), reproduced inside the two-sided test written to catch it. F-MEP-5 was labelled "(two-sided)" — the label was doing the work the specification wasn't.

Now quantified:

element value
flagged F half-1 chains reaching local Commit, ≥ 1 S4 event
silent S half-1 chains reaching local Commit, zero S4 events
minimum opportunities |F| ≥ 20 and |S| ≥ 20, each reported — below either is UNDERPOWERED, not PASS
can-fire flip_rate(F) ≥ 2 × flip_rate(S) and flip_rate(F) − flip_rate(S) ≥ 0.10
can-stay-silent flip_rate(S) ≤ 0.20

Both concentration conditions, deliberately: a ratio alone is satisfiable at trivial magnitudes (2 % vs 1 % is a 2× "concentration" carrying no signal), and a difference alone would pass a gate firing on nearly everything.

All four numbers are marked POLICY PINS, not measurements — nothing has been measured on this cohort, and they are written down only so they are fixed before the run rather than chosen to fit it. If the probe shows them badly placed they get re-pinned with the measurement stated, never quietly relaxed to turn a failing gate into a passing one.

3. W3's evaluation population was undefined

Correct — the split row assigned half 1 to W1 evaluation and W3 simply never said which half it measures. On half 0 it would evaluate outcome-derived cut points against the very data they were derived from, inflating the effect by construction.

Now stated: half 0 fits the cut points, half 1 is measured, W4 consumes the half-1 number only, and any half-0 flip rate is exploratory and explicitly ineligible for the verdict. The flip-rate denominator paragraph was also amended to say "half-1 chains" rather than "qualifying chains", so the population is unambiguous at both places it's described rather than only at the new one.


A note on the shape of this round. Two of the six (F-MEP-5's auto-silence, and the sd(null) == 0 case in F-MEP-3) are the same defect reached from different directions: a gate whose failure condition is unreachable. Neither would have thrown, neither would have looked wrong in a run log, and both would have reported PASS. That is worth recording as the pattern rather than as two incidents.

Also noting the rate-limit line in your review footer (0 reviews currently available) — I'm not going to sit waiting on a further run that may not come, so this comment plus the three inline replies are the complete response to the round.

…er written

Self-caught while draining the notification queue. CodeRabbit's merge-risk
note on 4d94c5d still named "the required parity comparison" as unresolved,
which did not match my belief that the thread was handled — so I checked the
artifact instead of the thread state.

The thread (Define an executable parity path for W0) was resolved in an
earlier round, and the fix never landed. The plan stated the parity
REQUIREMENT ("the probe's 2x2 math must reproduce jc's certified propagation
on identical seeded inputs") and never the MECHANISM, which was the entire
finding: the probe declares contract as its sole dependency and therefore
cannot call jc::ewa_sandwich at all. It is also the only resolved thread on
the PR carrying no "Addressed in commit" marker — the signal was there to be
read.

Dependency facts verified in-tree rather than assumed:
- crates/jc is a workspace MEMBER, zero-dep by default.
- crates/deepnsm-v2 is workspace-EXCLUDED with its own [workspace] table and
  lance-graph-contract as its SOLE dep, so the probe genuinely cannot reach
  jc, and adding that edge would break the property its own manifest
  comment defends.

Mechanism is therefore a staged checked fixture, not a link: a jc-side
example calls the REAL jc::ewa_sandwich over fixed seeded inputs and emits a
committed f64-hex table stamped with the jc source commit; the probe's
inlined math must reproduce it bit-for-bit.

A jc-side harness that re-types the probe's math was considered and
REJECTED, because it makes F-MEP-0 vacuous by construction: with two
independent copies, perturbing the probe's copy leaves the harness's copy
and the comparison untouched, so the gate could not fail. Against a
committed fixture the perturbation goes red, because the fixture is not
derived from the code under test.

Staleness is the fixture's one real cost over a live call, so it is guarded
rather than ignored: the stamped commit must match the jc source in the
checkout, and a mismatch regenerates rather than waives.

@coderabbitai review

Requesting explicitly because automatic reviews are paused on this branch ("under active development"), and two commits since your last run have never been reviewed:

  • 4d0c5e6 — the six findings from run c4ecebff (W3 normalized readout at three sites, W3 evaluation population, F-MEP-5 quantified, F-MEP-1 zero-variance guard, W1 observation unit, F-MEP-3 null distribution).
  • 3dcb71b9 — the W0 parity mechanism, which I am flagging against myself: that thread was resolved in an earlier round and the fix never landed. I found it because your merge-risk note on 4d94c5d still named "the required parity comparison" as unresolved, which contradicted the thread state. I've reopened that thread and left it open for your judgement rather than re-resolving it myself.

The W0 change is the one most worth adversarial attention — it rejects the "separate comparison harness" option you offered, on the grounds that a harness which re-types the probe's math makes F-MEP-0 vacuous by construction (two independent copies, so perturbing the probe can't turn the comparison red). If that reasoning is wrong, the fixture route is the wrong call.

Each qualifying chain contributes exactly one suspicion score per arm and exactly one binary S4 label. The label is `1` if the chain contains at least one S4 error event. Multiple events in one chain do not create additional AUC observations or affect per-half observation floors. Event counts remain reported data for the F-MEP-5 concentration statistic.

Learning: In `.claude/plans/mul-ewa-trust-propagation-v1.md`, W1 requires `trace(Σ₀) > 0` for a valid trust-propagation seed. A chain with a zero-trace seed is excluded wholesale and its count is reported, using the same exclusion path as missing hop data. The plan must not map excluded chains to `0`, `1`, or `NaN`, because those values would incorrectly enter propagation rankings.

…iew holes

CodeRabbit run 0b7f54fe against 3dcb71b. Three findings valid as stated; the
fourth was wrong on its specific but pointed at a worse defect underneath it,
found by verifying against source instead of acting on the finding.

TEXTURE -> GATE ORDERING WAS INVERTED (the real defect).
The finding asked for the W3 buckets to be mapped onto Crystalline/Solid/
Fuzzy/Murky. That is a DIFFERENT TrustTexture: four types share the name
(contract::mul, causal-edge::layout, planner::mul::trust with a fifth
Dissonant variant, arigraph::orchestrator). The one on this path is
contract::mul::TrustTexture, because GateDecision::from_axes takes it, and
causal-edge/src/layout.rs carries an explicit in-source ruling against
building the requested cast ("Canonical: NONE ... Do not build a cast on the
old claim"). So the remap is forbidden, not merely unnecessary.

But verifying that exposed a real inversion. The chain is
trace -> TrustTexture -> GateDecision::from_axes -> advance_on_gate(&GateDecision)
(advance_on_gate never sees a TrustTexture). Reading from_axes: Uncertain
=> Block under every flow state, Overconfident => Hold. Gate strength runs
Flow < Hold < Block. The table put Uncertain in the MIDDLE bucket and
Overconfident at the TOP, so the most-suspicious chains produced the MILDER
intervention while moderately suspicious ones produced the strongest --
inverting the very quantity W3 measures, since the metric is a
Commit->{Hold,Prune} flip rate. Corrected to Calibrated / Overconfident /
Uncertain, which is monotone against the gate ordering, with the derivation
and the four-enum note written down so it is not re-opened.

W0 STAMP: a commit hash alone is not sufficient. A fixture generated from a
dirty crates/jc tree carries a stamp that matches perfectly while the bytes
it came from exist nowhere in history -- it reports "current" for something
nobody can reproduce, which is worse than no stamp because it manufactures
confidence. Now both: a content hash of the ewa_sandwich source (catches a
stale fixture at verification time) and a clean-tree refusal in the generator
(stops an irreproducible one being created). Not redundant -- different
moments.

F-MEP-5 RE-PIN NOW VOIDS ITS RUN. "Re-pin honestly and state the reason" was
not enough: if a run's verdict survives a threshold changed after seeing that
run's numbers, the pins were chosen to fit the data and the pre-registration
bought nothing -- disclosure makes that visible, not valid. The motivating
run is marked VOID (numbers still banked), revised pins declared, and only a
fresh run may be judged.

F-MEP-3 PERMUTES THE CHAIN LABEL, not the (p,o,n) record. shuffle_beliefs_null
permutes records, but W1's observation unit is one label per chain (fixed last
round), and record-permutation does not preserve chain-level class counts -- a
redeal could concentrate events onto one chain and empty another, making the
null a distribution over a different quantity than the observed statistic.
Permuting the half-1 label vector preserves both class counts exactly, so only
the score-label pairing is destroyed. Degenerate draws are then impossible
unless the observed data already failed the floors; if that invariant breaks at
runtime the probe stops rather than imputing 0.0, which would drag the null
mean down and make the +2 sigma bar easier to clear.

…ct the variant set)

CodeRabbit withdrew the TrustTexture finding after running its own
verification -- the W3 path is contract::mul::TrustTexture, from_axes owns
the texture->decision mapping, advance_on_gate receives only &GateDecision,
and docs/TYPE_DUPLICATION_MAP.md forbids the cast it had asked for. It then
raised a real residual defect in the corrected table, which this commit
fixes.

THE DEFECT. from_axes is texture-AND-flow, so the table's decision column was
wrong read unconditionally: (Calibrated, Anxiety) yields Hold via the
(_, Anxiety) arm, not Flow.

TWO CORRECTIONS TO THE FINDING AS STATED.

(1) The condition is not "non-Anxiety". FlowState has FOUR variants (Flow,
Boredom, Transition, Anxiety), and (Calibrated, Boredom) also yields Hold --
via the `_` fallthrough rather than the Anxiety arm. Requiring only
non-Anxiety would have left Boredom masking identically. The condition is
FlowState in {Flow, Transition}.

(2) It needs no restriction on the cohort, because it is already guaranteed
for every chain the metric measures. Verified against source rather than
assumed: the flip-rate denominator is chains whose LOCAL arm reaches Commit;
advance_on_gate reaches advance() only on GateDecision::Flow; and Flow is
emitted by exactly ONE arm of from_axes, (Calibrated | Underconfident,
Flow | Transition). So a denominator chain necessarily had FlowState in
{Flow, Transition}, and the plan holds FlowState fixed across arms, so the
propagated arm reads the same state. Restricting the cohort would have
dropped nothing while implying the guarantee was a choice.

Recorded anyway, with the inertness consequence spelled out (under Anxiety or
Boredom, Calibrated and Overconfident both give Hold, so the p50 cut point is
structurally inert and only p90 can flip), because a reader applying the
table outside the denominator would be misled, and because a future change to
the denominator would silently break the guarantee rather than the table.

…s rounds missed

Operator framing (2026-08-29): the whole thing is two hinges -- the MUL
revamp (Dunning-Kruger overconfidence vs trusted epistemic knowledge vs
counterfactual, as thesis/antithesis/synthesis; the impact of overconfidence,
and how grounded the known and indirect intermediate unknowns are) and the
EWA sandwich in jc (adjacent to the 3DGS gaussian-splat spatial stack,
filling known unknowns with Oberflaechenspannung vs inheriting from the HHTL
parent vs dispatching thinking styles to reason) -- with the danger that an
epistemic frontier handed to math goes circular, or becomes accidental
entropy-based intelligence.

Measured against the file: none of it was written down. Dunning 0,
counterfactual 0, antithesis 0, Oberflaechenspannung 0, thinking style 0,
circular 0, entropy 0, frontier 0, known-unknown 0 -- in 587 lines. Five
review rounds hardened the decision procedure around a quantity whose
direction nobody had checked.

Checking it surfaced three defects, all derivable on paper, none statistical:

1. THE SUSPICION SCORE IS INVERTED. jc's Sigma is a covariance (its own
   header: world-space 3DGS covariance pushed to image space; consumer is
   ndarray::hpc::splat3d). Covariance up = uncertainty up = suspicion up,
   which is the direction the TrustTexture table uses. But the declared
   control is M_k = sqrt(per-hop trust)*I with trust in [0,1], giving
   trace ratio = product of t_k, which SHRINKS as trust falls and hops
   accumulate. So a distrusted 5-hop chain scores Calibrated (proceed) and a
   trusted 2-hop chain scores Uncertain (veto). Note jc defines M_k as
   sqrt(Sigma_k), the step-Jacobian of the edge's COVARIANCE; substituting a
   scalar trust is the transplant, and it carried no unit or direction check.
   F-MEP-0b now requires D-MEP-1 to declare whether Sigma is a covariance or
   a precision, and W0 to carry a worked 2-hop numeric example proving lower
   per-hop trust yields strictly higher suspicion, before any run starts.
   Bounded inflation is required if covariance -- unbounded 1/sqrt(t)
   diverges at t -> 0, trading an inverted score for an explosive one.

2. THE READOUT IS HOP-COUNT DOMINATED. product of t_k ~= t_bar^n, so both
   arms would largely rank by path length; longer chains plausibly do break
   more often, so the AUC could clear its bar while discovering nothing that
   needed covariance propagation. That is the accidental-entropy failure,
   concretely. New protocol row: report Spearman rho(suspicion, hop count)
   for both arms and AUC stratified by hop count (2/3/4/5+), and require the
   EWA arm to clear its bar within at least one stratum, not only aggregate.

3. CIRCULARITY WAS NEVER NAMED. If a propagated Sigma becomes a TrustTexture
   that gates a cycle whose outcome updates the trust seeding the next Sigma,
   the operator manufactures its own justification. W3's no-wiring fence
   already prevents this; the epistemic reason for it is now stated.

Also records that the fill is a CHOICE of three -- Oberflaechenspannung
(EWA), HHTL parent inheritance, thinking-style reasoning -- and that this
plan measures only EWA against a scalar baseline, so a BUY licenses "EWA
beats naive decay" and NOT "EWA is the right way to fill this gap".

§0b — the two hinges, and a sign error five review rounds walked past (262e22dc)

Operator reframing: this plan is two hinges, not a measurement protocol. Checked against the file, none of it was written down — in 587 lines: Dunning 0, counterfactual 0, antithesis 0, Oberflächenspannung 0, thinking style 0, circular 0, entropy 0, frontier 0, known unknown 0.

Five rounds hardened the decision procedure around a quantity nobody had checked the direction of. Checking it surfaced three defects — all derivable on paper, none statistical.

1. The suspicion score is inverted

jc's Σ is a covariance — its own header: "world-space covariance matrices Σ ∈ ℝ³ˣ³ ... pushed forward to image-space", consumer ndarray::hpc::splat3d. Covariance up = uncertainty up = suspicion up, which is the direction the TrustTexture table uses.

But the declared control is M_k = √(per-hop trust)·I with trust from NarsTruth (frequency/confidence, both [0,1]), giving trace ratio = ∏ t_k — which shrinks as trust falls and hops accumulate. So:

a distrusted 5-hop chain scores Calibrated (proceed); a trusted 2-hop chain scores Uncertain (veto).

Note jc defines M_k = sqrt(Σ_k) — the step-Jacobian of the edge's covariance. Substituting a scalar trust is the transplant, and it carried no unit or direction check. F-MEP-0b now requires D-MEP-1 to declare whether Σ is a covariance or a precision, and W0 to carry a worked 2-hop numeric example proving lower per-hop trust yields strictly higher suspicion — before any run. Bounded inflation is required under the covariance reading; unbounded 1/√t diverges at t → 0, trading an inverted score for an explosive one.

The AUC(b) > 0.5 condition added two rounds ago would catch this — but only after burning a full probe, and only as an unexplained "both arms inverted".

2. The readout is hop-count dominated

∏ t_k ≈ t̄ⁿ. Both arms would largely rank by path length, and since longer chains plausibly do carry more S4 errors, the AUC could clear its bar while discovering nothing that needed covariance propagation. That is accidental entropy-based intelligence, concretely. The cohort filter (hop-length ≥ 2) only removes the degenerate case.

New protocol row: report Spearman ρ(suspicion, hop count) for both arms and AUC stratified by hop count (2/3/4/5+); a BUY additionally requires clearing ΔAUC within at least one stratum, not only in aggregate.

3. Circularity was never named

If a propagated Σ becomes a TrustTexture gating a cycle whose outcome updates the trust seeding the next Σ, the operator manufactures its own justification. W3's no-wiring fence already prevents it; the epistemic reason for that fence is now stated.

And the fill is a CHOICE of three

strategy what supplies the value failure mode
Oberflächenspannung (EWA) a minimisation principle over boundary conditions plausible everywhere, grounded nowhere
HHTL parent inheritance the parent node (inherits_from) inherits the parent's staleness
Thinking styles → reasoning NARS dispatch (thinking/style.rs, nars/inference.rs) costs a real inference step

This plan measures EWA against a scalar baseline only — so a BUY licenses "EWA beats naive decay" and not "EWA is the right way to fill this gap". Recorded so a later session cannot read it as the stronger claim.

…t plan

Operator ruling: 262e22d was a good emergency brake but stopped one layer
early. Covariance-vs-precision fixes the OPERATOR; it does not fix what the
operator is PERMITTED TO DO. Get the sign right, normalise hop count, bound
the inflation, obtain a gorgeous AUC -- and still have built a flawlessly
calibrated machine for performing the wrong epistemic operation.

F-MEP-0a now gates F-MEP-0b: D-MEP-1 must declare the EWA sandwich's
capabilities before specifying it. Redistribute/locate tension: yes. Rank
where counterfactual exploration is worth compute: yes. Generate candidate
completions: only marked hypothetical. Eliminate worlds by itself: no. Mint
evidence: never. Raise empirical trust from its own output: never.

Separates three things that were collapsing into the word "uncertainty":
epistemic state (provenance), geometric uncertainty (Sigma/EWA/
Oberflaechenspannung), and counterfactual ambiguity (mutually incompatible
completions). Sigma represents the second, cannot manufacture the third, and
the third must never silently overwrite the first.

Sharpens the anti-circularity invariant: no operation whose inputs are
entirely graph-internal may convert a hypothesis into epistemic evidence
merely by reducing its uncertainty. Internal reasoning CAN create knowledge
about the hypothesis space -- constraint elimination and contradiction are
real -- so the ban is on laundering that into a claim about external reality.
Three mechanisms kept apart: elimination by logical contradiction (may raise
logical certainty), discrimination by observation (may raise empirical
certainty), preference by propagated geometry (raises neither; changes only
where to look).

Scope-corrects 0b's own phrase. "Lower trust yields higher suspicion" is a
sign check on the operator, NOT an ontology: low trust != uncertainty, high
covariance != epistemic ignorance, high entropy != intelligent doubt. MUL
compares epistemic posture against epistemic support, so Overconfident means
the graph collapsed onto one explanation while viable alternatives were never
discriminated.

THE SEAM, which is the real finding. This is not new architecture --
epistemic-quadrant-materialization-v1.md (709 lines) and
probe_sudoku_teacher.rs (1859 lines) already implement the membrane. Its G3:
bifurcation clones the slab as a counterfactual world, propagates to
contradiction, and ONLY THE ELIMINATION RETURNS; the fork's positive guess
never enters the main slab. G4 measures the cost of refusing to fork. Live
surfaces: contract::scenario::ScenarioBranch, contract::pearl_junction.
That plan carries MUL x9 and ZERO EWA/TrustTexture/Oberflaechenspannung; this
plan carried zero quadrant vocabulary; neither cited the other. Two halves of
one architecture in two plans with no seam -- the rediscovery tax CLAUDE.md
"Consult before you guess" exists to prevent. D-MEP-1 must read it before
specifying Sigma.

Adds F-MEP-0d, the closed-graph monotonicity falsifier: no new observations,
no oracle calls, run MUL -> EWA -> thinking -> MUL for 1/10/1000 cycles.
Reorganised attention, hypotheses, sharper questions and latent contradictions
are all permitted; aggregate epistemic authority rising with cycle count is
not. A STOP gate rather than a diagnostic, run on synthetic closed graphs
before W1's cohort since it needs no S4 events and can fail early and cheap.

§0a — the capability gate, and the seam this PR was missing (4ab1db60)

262e22dc was an emergency brake that stopped one layer early. Covariance-vs-precision fixes the OPERATOR; it does not fix what the operator is permitted to DO. You can get the sign right, normalise hop count, bound the inflation, obtain a gorgeous AUC — and still have built a flawlessly calibrated machine for performing the wrong epistemic operation.

Three things were collapsing into the word "uncertainty"

layer carrier answers
Epistemic state provenance: observed / inherited / absent what is known, and how it came to be known
Geometric uncertainty Σ, EWA, Oberflächenspannung where tension concentrates
Counterfactual ambiguity {W₁ … Wₙ} incompatible completions which admissible worlds still explain the evidence

Σ represents the second, cannot manufacture the third, and the third must never silently overwrite the first.

F-MEP-0a — gates F-MEP-0b

D-MEP-1 must declare the sandwich's capabilities before specifying it: redistribute/locate tension yes; rank where exploration is worth compute yes; generate completions only marked hypothetical; eliminate worlds by itself no; mint evidence never; raise empirical trust from its own output never.

Sharpened invariant, superseding §0b's softer wording:

No operation whose inputs are entirely graph-internal may convert a hypothesis into epistemic evidence merely by reducing its uncertainty.

Internal reasoning genuinely can create knowledge about the hypothesis space — constraint elimination and contradiction are real and must not be forbidden. What is forbidden is laundering that into a claim about external reality. Elimination-by-contradiction may raise logical certainty; discrimination-by-observation may raise empirical certainty; preference-by-propagated-geometry raises neither — it changes only where to look.

Scope correction to my own §0b wording: "lower trust yields higher suspicion" is a sign check on the operator, not an ontology. Low trust ≠ uncertainty; high covariance ≠ epistemic ignorance; high entropy ≠ intelligent doubt.

★ The real finding: this is already half-built, and #1074 never cited it

.claude/plans/epistemic-quadrant-materialization-v1.md (709 lines) + probe_sudoku_teacher.rs (1859 lines) already implement the membrane. Its G3:

"Bifurcation clones the slab as a counterfactual world, propagates to contradiction, and ONLY the elimination returns — the main slab changes at exactly the sanctioned cell, and the fork's positive (wrong) guess never appears in it."

The fork's negative result may cross back into reality; its positive guess may not. G4 measures the cost of refusing to fork. Live surfaces: contract::scenario::ScenarioBranch, contract::pearl_junction.

The split is the defect. That plan carries MUL ×9 and zero EWA / TrustTexture / Oberflächenspannung; this plan carried zero quadrant vocabulary; neither cited the other. Two halves of one architecture in two plans with no seam — precisely the rediscovery tax CLAUDE.md § "Consult before you guess" exists to prevent. D-MEP-1 must read that plan before specifying Σ.

F-MEP-0d — closed-graph monotonicity (STOP gate, and it bites)

No new observations, no oracle calls. Run MUL → EWA → thinking → MUL for 1 / 10 / 1000 cycles. Permitted: reorganised attention, hypotheses, sharper questions, latent contradictions surfaced. Forbidden: aggregate epistemic authority rising monotonically with cycle count. Runs on synthetic closed graphs before W1's cohort — it needs no S4 events, so it fails early and cheap.

CI green.

Recut to plan-only — the contract code is now #1075

Split executed on operator instruction. This branch was force-pushed (with lease) back to 4ab1db60; 0 crates/ files remain. The five contract commits are cut from main onto claude/epistemic-triptych-contract#1075.

Why: this PR's own status line reads "PLAN/BOARD ONLY. Measure-before-carve. No contract change, no wiring, until W1's numbers land." It had accumulated 1138 lines of Rust. The STOP rule targets the EWA/Σ carrier (K1 TrustSigma on TrustQualia) and none of that code was that carrier — so the rule's intent held — but its letter did not, and a reviewer of a measurement plan faced three contract modules. CI corroborated it independently: plan-only commits triggered 1 check, the code head triggered 8.

#1074 is now scoped to EWA measurement / attention geometry only. What remains here:

  • §0a — the capability gate (F-MEP-0a), the three-layer split (epistemic state / geometric uncertainty / counterfactual ambiguity), the sharpened anti-laundering invariant, and F-MEP-0d closed-graph monotonicity
  • §0b — the two hinges, the Oberflächenspannung / HHTL-inheritance / thinking-style fill choice, F-MEP-0b (Σ sign) and F-MEP-0c (hop-count confound)
  • §4 — the W0–W4 statistical protocol

Two follow-ups this recut implies, neither done here:

  1. Σ is settled as a covariance, and the plan should say so. jc::ewa_sandwich_3d is explicit — "world-space covariance matrices Σ ∈ ℝ³ˣ³ … pushed forward to image-space", consumer ndarray::hpc::splat3d, with M_k = sqrt(Σ_k). Choosing "precision" would not be reusing the EWA operator; it would be a new quantity borrowing the algebra. So F-MEP-0b's open question is not covariance vs precision but what bounded monotone mapping from trust to step transform makes distrust increase epistemic spread — and W1 can still kill the transplant if that mapping buys nothing beyond hop length.

  2. The Σ → TrustTextureGateDecision production path in §0b/§4 is in tension with EWA-as-attention-geometry. If this PR is scoped to where tension lives, the texture/gate routing belongs elsewhere or is demoted to a hypothesis. Flagging rather than editing — it changes what W1 measures.
