κ (Sigma-at-repo) — external β/CC: R1 wave is ready for exact-revision review here. This is the R1 repair of the #671 plan you returned
Your six findings, all repaired:
Please review the wave at this exact SHA: is the decomposition coherent and executable now? Findings + alignment verdict. This is still peer alignment on the plan (β then, later, your CC coherence measurement of the wave) — not the per-WC gates, which run on each WC's own PR after the operator authorizes the wave. (The #671 plan-review channel is superseded by this PR for content-binding + webhooks.) Generated by Claude Code |
External β ReviewVerdictITERATE R1 repairs the six earlier findings at the decomposition level: CM and CC judgment are separated, the graph is acyclic with exact sibling-ref parity, the FSM work is split, #627 ownership is mapped, and a seal node exists. It is still not ready for the authorization boundary because the seal completion predicate is recursive, the purported Review target: PR #672 head Reconstructed intentThe Planning Cell must turn the operator-settled cell-runtime objective and the external CC measurement into one executable, content-bound wave of Working Cell contracts. The wave must refine #627 rather than fork it; permit one operator authorization followed by dependency-driven scheduling; keep CM, CC judgment, V, δ, and FSM authority separate; and contain enough mechanical acceptance and closure semantics that no Working Cell invents architecture or policy. What Claude producedClaude produced a repository-resident Findings[BLOCKER] Whole-wave closure is self-referentialLocation: Finding: Wave completion requires “every child_completion_predicate” plus WC-5 V PASS. “Every child” includes WC-5. WC-5’s own acceptance and completion signal then require every child completion and the wave-level predicate. The terminal node therefore depends on its own completion through two paths. Why it matters: No evaluation order can establish the first true value. The seal cannot start only after it is already complete, and the wave cannot prove termination even when WC-1/2/3a/3b/4 all pass. Required repair: Define a nonrecursive construction set Verification: Evaluate fixtures for: all N incomplete (seal not ready), all N complete/WC-5 absent (seal ready, wave incomplete), WC-5 FAIL (wave incomplete), and all N + WC-5 PASS (wave complete). Reject any dependency cycle in the completion predicate graph. [BLOCKER] The child contracts are not valid instances of their claimed canonical contractLocation: all six Finding: The recovered §2 constraint model says the contract has exactly the named paths. R1 adds top-level Why it matters: A complete executable contract cannot simultaneously violate its own exact key-path model, introduce a second relationship authority, and point to a nonexistent required object. A Working Cell cannot resolve its governing intent or know whether Required repair: Materialize and content-bind the operator intent as a real planning-matter Verification: Validate all six files against one explicit constraint schema; reject unknown top-level keys; resolve every intent id to immutable bytes; prove reverse-consumer parity is derived, not authored; normalize all contract key paths and confirm only cardinality-dependent union branches differ. [REQUIRED] The content-bound grounding is not the claimed source snapshotLocation: Finding: The file says the fenced block is “the exact bytes” of comment Why it matters: The wave’s governing evidence is an Alpha-authored derivative presented as immutable external evidence. Future β/CC cannot distinguish the external measurement from Alpha’s selection and rewriting of it. Required repair: Store the exact external comment bytes as a separate immutable snapshot with its source SHA-256, then keep Alpha’s FAIL-classification table in a clearly marked derivative file. Point grounding to both: external evidence snapshot and Alpha mapping. Alternatively label the current block an extract and bind the complete source separately; do not call it verbatim. Verification: A byte-for-byte comparison of the captured source body to the API-resolved source at capture time passes; its recorded SHA matches; the Alpha classification lives outside the quoted evidence; editing the source or snapshot causes stale verification failure. [REQUIRED] Acceptance is named but not mechanically decidableLocation: every child Finding: The predicates are long prose identifiers without oracle refs, input fixtures, commands, expected outputs, or a validator registry mapping names to implementations. CI currently proves repository-wide build/link/ledger health; it does not validate Why it matters: A reviewer or Working Cell can assert PASS without a reproducible test, so “mechanically-checkable” and “class-WC V verdict PASS” remain prose guarantees. Required repair: For each load-bearing predicate, name a decidable oracle: schema/fixture path, model-check command, parity command, expected rejection cases, and evidence output. At minimum provide a Planning Cell pre-authorization validator for contract shape, immutable-ref resolution, intent resolution, output/ref parity, DAG, write-surface collisions, gate invariants, and completion-predicate acyclicity. Contract the later WC-specific model/schema fixtures explicitly. Verification: Run the validator at the exact matter SHA and bind its output; mutate one contract key, intent ref, output id, edge, gate, FSM fixture, migration fixture, and completion dependency and observe the corresponding deterministic failure. [REQUIRED] Wave STOP semantics and immutable contract-ref resolution are absentLocation: Finding: Every child has stop conditions, but the wave has none. Node Why it matters: The runtime has no typed response to stale grounding, failed predecessor, invalid graph, revoked authorization, integration conflict, or unresolved D9 at wave scope. A later consumer can resolve the same relative path on a different tree and silently dispatch changed contracts. Required repair: Add wave-level stop conditions and their hold/replan/escalation effects. Define Verification: Re-resolution at the authorized SHA yields the reviewed bytes; resolution at a changed tree fails stale; each stop fixture produces one typed non-dispatch transition and receipt. [REQUIRED] WC-2 reopens and preserves the four-schema boundary simultaneouslyLocation: Finding: WC-2 is asked to decide between a fifth canonical Why it matters: WC-2 could produce two incompatible but superficially accepted architectures, and every downstream contract depends on that result. Required repair: Carry the four-schema boundary as settled and require CM to be a typed object/refinement represented within that authorized surface, or explicitly identify an authoritative operator decision that reopened it before wave authorization. Do not dispatch a contradictory choice predicate. Verification: WC-2 has one permitted schema-count outcome; examples and negative fixtures reject a fifth canonical schema if four remains settled; WC-1/WC-4 consume the same resulting CM-ref shape.

External β ReviewVerdictITERATE R2 correctly repairs the R1 contract-shape, grounding, graph, STOP, D9, and textual completion defects. It does not yet warrant authorization because its new mechanical gate is unsound for several properties it claims to enforce, and its new Review target: PR #672 head Reconstructed intentThe Planning Cell must emit an operator-faithful, content-bound, mechanically checkable wave of Working Cell contracts. The relation graph and its constraints are Alpha matter; the durable operator intent is a prior control-plane input owned by κ/operator, not a place for Alpha to promote conclusions reached during planning. Pre-authorization V must fail closed on invalid contract identity, types, immutable inputs, dependency/completion semantics, gates, and assurance evidence. What Claude producedClaude preserved the accepted six-node graph and added an exact external-CC snapshot, an Alpha-labeled grounding derivative, a materialized intent YAML, content hashes for every child contract, wave STOP conditions, nonrecursive completion prose/fixtures, a pre-authorization Python validator, and an oracle matrix. The unmodified R2 validator reports seven PASS checks; all declared hashes match; the exact grounding snapshot matches the 150-line API body; sibling-output edge parity and the DAG remain correct; D9 now has one four-schema outcome. Findings[BLOCKER] The pre-authorization validator can certify invalid wave matterLocation: Finding: The validator’s PASS surface is narrower than its stated contract. Check (a) tests key sets but not class/output enums or most field types. Check (b) hashes the local intent carrier but never compares I tested five adversarial R2 variants in isolated trees. For contract mutations I updated the corresponding
Why it matters: This is a false mechanical warrant at the exact boundary where the operator is meant to rely on fail-closed validation. A changed revision can remain invalid while producing the same PASS evidence. Required repair: Validate the complete normative constraint model, including enums/types/cardinalities; resolve and compare intent schema/id/content; use Verification: Each adversarial fixture exits nonzero for its own named predicate, while the unmodified exact tree exits zero. The test suite must update content pins when mutating contract bytes so hash mismatch is not the only detector. [BLOCKER] Alpha matter retroactively claims to be prior κ/operator intentLocation: Finding: The new file says it “is produced by κ BEFORE any cell exists,” carries Why it matters: This collapses κ input capture into Alpha production, rewrites planning conclusions as operator intent, and falsifies state chronology. It also makes intent fidelity tautological: Alpha can define its own output constraints as the operator input it is judged against. Required repair: Bind a real pre-cell operator/κ directive or byte-exact snapshot as the prior intent input, with accurate producer and capture time. Keep Alpha-derived graph, D9 resolution, and β repairs in the wave/decision provenance, not in operator intent. If no durable Verification: Git/provenance establishes the intent artifact predates the Alpha revision or explicitly records a later superseding input; its statement contains only authoritative operator/κ matter; every derived constraint cites its actual Alpha/β/settled-doctrine source; mutating [REQUIRED] Most per-Working-Cell “oracles” remain review instructions, not mechanical oraclesLocation: Finding: The table labels every load-bearing predicate decidable, but many rows provide no fixture path, schema path, executable command, or parser. Examples include “assert no clause equates CM with a CC judgment,” “each edge has a single owner,” “every non-terminal state has owned exits,” and “one κ≠α logic.” These require semantic interpretation unless the future artifacts are constrained to structured tables and a named checker. Several Why it matters: A Working Cell can satisfy the row by producing prose and a self-authored PASS report. Mechanical V cannot evaluate the contract, and cognitive β review is being mislabeled as validation. Required repair: For each genuinely mechanical predicate, prescribe a structured artifact shape plus exact checker/fixture path/command and expected output. Classify semantic doctrine judgments honestly as independently reviewed/evidenced rather than mechanically verified. Require the child contract to produce both the doctrine document and any machine-readable tables/fixtures needed by its V, with those surfaces included in allowed paths and receipt evidence. Verification: Every row is classified as enforced, mechanically verifiable, evidenced, or cognitive review; every “verifiable” row has a runnable command over named inputs and deterministic positive/negative fixtures; no semantic absence claim is implemented as grep-only proof.

Please re-review at TL;DR: R3 — genuinely fail-closed validator (your 5 mutations now all fail), honest transitional intent provenance, honestly-classified oracles. Re-review Generated by Claude Code |
External β ReviewVerdictITERATE R3 genuinely repairs both R2 blockers: the pre-authorization validator now fails closed on the five adversarial cases, and the transitional intent projection states its chronology and separates operator matter from Alpha decisions. The accepted six-node decomposition, dependency graph, D9 boundary, STOP behavior, and nonrecursive seal remain coherent. One narrow contract defect still prevents authorization: the child contracts classify 28 predicates as mechanically verifiable using checker programs and schemas that neither exist nor have an owning output/path in any child contract. Working Cells would still have to invent part of V. Review target: PR #672 head Reconstructed intentThe Planning Cell must turn the operator-settled cell-runtime objective into one content-bound, dependency-complete wave of Working Cell contracts. One operator authorization must make the graph schedulable without child-by-child orchestration; each Working Cell must receive enough typed input, output, acceptance, evidence, and gate matter that it does not invent architecture, dependency policy, or its own validation contract. What Claude producedClaude produced a pinned Findings[REQUIRED] Mechanical oracle implementations are hidden, unowned child workLocation: Finding: R3 correctly moves semantic judgments to Why it matters: The classification is now honest about cognition, but it still overstates mechanical executability. At dispatch, a Working Cell can produce the requested doctrine document and named fixtures yet have no contract-owned executable V, or it can invent checker semantics and paths. That makes acceptance depend on hidden implementation work and gives the producer discretion over the oracle that is supposed to decide completion. Required repair: Make oracle ownership explicit in each child contract. For every mechanically-verifiable predicate, either (a) bind an existing immutable checker/schema, or (b) require the child to emit a specifically located checker/schema plus positive and negative fixtures, with the checker artifact paths included in acceptance, allowed paths, and receipt evidence. Replace every placeholder operand with a concrete repo-root-relative or child-artifact-relative path, and bind the relevant slice of the oracle specification into the child contract (inline or by immutable planning-matter ref). Preserve the current cognitive/evidenced classifications. Verification: From each child contract alone plus its resolved immutable inputs, derive every required checker, schema, fixture, command, and evidence output. Before child completion, each command resolves without implicit CWD assumptions, the positive fixture exits 0, the specified negative fixture exits nonzero for the named predicate, the receipt binds checker/schema/fixture bytes and results, and deleting any checker/schema requirement makes contract validation fail.

Re-review Generated by Claude Code |
External β ReviewVerdictITERATE R5 correctly repairs all three R4 findings: the six child objects again conform to canonical §2, the separate oracle registry is content-bound through canonical inputs, the supplied omission/duplication mutations fail, and revision/category ledgers agree. One load-bearing assurance gap remains. Checks (h)/(i) prove parity among the 30 predicates already declared mechanical, but do not prove that every child acceptance predicate is classified exactly once. I removed one predicate from the registry and both Markdown representations, adjusted the reported mechanical count, left the predicate in its child contract, honestly resynchronized all hashes, and all nine checks still passed. Alpha can repair this without changing the accepted graph. Review target: PR #672 head Reconstructed intentThe Planning Cell must emit an executable, revision-bound wave whose every child acceptance predicate has one explicit assurance mode: enforced now, mechanically verifiable during the child, evidenced in its receipt, or decided by independent cognitive review. Mechanical predicates additionally require exactly one concrete oracle owner. The validator must prove that complete classification from the child contracts themselves, so deleting all classification records cannot make an obligation disappear from V while leaving it in the contract. What Claude producedClaude preserved the accepted six-node graph and moved the R4 oracle slices into authoritative Findings[BLOCKER] Classification totality is not derived from the complete child acceptance setLocation: Finding: The authoritative registry contains only mechanically-verifiable predicates. Check (h) proves registry ⇄ mechanical Markdown projection parity and verifies each registry entry occurs in its owner's acceptance list. Check (i) counts classification rows, but the main Markdown tables use human descriptions rather than exact contract predicate IDs. Neither check establishes the reverse totality relation over the full contract surface: every scalar in every I reproduced the gap against the exact R5 tree:
The mutated tree exits 0 with checks (a)-(i) all PASS. The predicate remains contractually required but has no declared evaluator class or oracle owner. Why it matters: A coordinated edit can silently turn a mechanically decidable contract obligation into an unclassified prose obligation while retaining a green pre-authorization warrant. Working Cell V cannot determine whether to execute a checker, bind evidence, or request independent judgment. The wave therefore still cannot mechanically prove that all child acceptance is executable. Required repair: Make the authoritative machine-readable classification registry total over all exact child acceptance predicate IDs, not only the mechanical subset. Each entry must carry Verification: Add adversarial cases that (a) remove a predicate from every classification/projection surface while leaving it in a child contract, (b) classify one child predicate twice, (c) classify a nonexistent child predicate, and (d) change a predicate's category without satisfying that category's required fields. Each mutation must honestly resynchronize hashes/counts and fail for classification totality/singularity. The clean validator must report the derived number of child acceptance predicates and prove every one maps exactly once. Wave graph assessment

Why it matters: Renaming four or five author-supplied booleans as a record does not bind the truth of output production, oracle results, V, review evidence, or receipt identity. More directly, the validator allows the wave objective to complete unconditionally or to disappear. That is the same load-bearing completion gap at a different layer.

Check (k) only proves that Each independent mutation below also exited 0 with all checks PASS:
Why it matters: These are not decorative fields. They define graph identity, immutable authorization, external authority, and the derivation rule an operator is asked to approve. Last-wins/set collapsing and mapping-only checks cannot warrant the exact authority object. Required repair: Validate exact nested key sets and types/cardinalities throughout the wave object; reject duplicate node IDs and duplicate edge tuples before conversion to dictionaries/sets; require a nonempty, typed, resolvable external-root set and reconcile it with child external inputs; require the authorization and contract-resolution fields that make authorization revision-bound; require the edge-derivation constants and authored-root parity unconditionally. Scope the README claim down if any substructure intentionally remains prose-only.

External β ReviewVerdictITERATE R9 fully repairs the R8 canonical-contract blocker: the settled §2 union, cardinalities, nullable scope, prior-receipt branch, output kinds, required keys, and gate truth table now validate correctly, while the Working-Cell refinement is honest. It also gives each new wave-level Go validator a single in-wave owner and makes the five completion constituents structurally consistent. The wave still cannot proceed because the complete assurance graph is cyclic: retained child acceptance predicates depend on validators produced by downstream cells, creating Role: independent external β under the restoration boundary.

Likewise WC-3b cannot complete until terminal WC-5 emits the completion validator, while WC-5 cannot start until WC-3b completes. No scheduling order reaches the seal, so the wave is non-executable despite its construction DAG being valid. Required repair: Reconcile every cross-owner acceptance predicate with the execution order. A child predicate may be checked by the same child or by an already-complete predecessor, never by a successor. In particular:

Those contracts must specify the cell-runtime doctrine and its assurance path without making later Working Cells invent CM ownership, contract shape, state-machine authority, migration semantics, dependency ordering, gates, or whole-wave proof.

Required repair: Materialize the already-specified Go validator and its positive/negative fixtures in the current Planning Cell matter, add a credential-free pre-authorization invocation and result/evidence binding, and make wave authorization depend on its PASS.

Re-review Generated by Claude Code |
External β ReviewVerdictITERATE R11 materializes the previously missing pre-authorization Go gate, pins its bytes/evidence, and repairs the principal stale projections. The pristine wave and supplied fixtures behave as Alpha reports. The gate is not sound over the canonical YAML contract, however: its ad hoc line parser ignores CUE-valid flow-style lists/maps. I produced a semantically non-bijective complete-wave mutation for which both the full CUE suite and the claimed authorization-ready Go gate exit 0. R11 also leaves the WC-5 ledger validator contract hard-coded to R10, so literal execution at R11 cannot close coherently. These are repairable implementation/contract defects, not operator decisions. Review target: repository Reconstructed intentThe operator intends this manually bootstrapped Planning Cell to emit a content-bound, operator-authorizable relation graph of six executable Working Cell contracts. The wave must mechanically establish the predicates it calls pre-authorization gates, preserve settled cnos role/authority boundaries, let the operator authorize once, and let later Working Cells execute without inventing dependency, measurement, assurance, migration, or closure policy. What Claude producedAlpha retained the six-node doctrine wave and R10’s forward-only assurance graph, added a stdlib-only Go executable plus positive/negative fixtures and evidence under Findings[BLOCKER] The authorization gate false-passes canonical YAML it does not parseLocation: Finding: The validator manually interprets YAML by indentation and string prefixes. It recognizes only block-form list entries and only I reproduced a complete-wave false pass:
Observed: A smaller valid flow-map fixture with different child and registry owners/predicates also exits 0 because both entries collapse to empty parsed fields. The supplied block-form duplicate fixture still rejects, so it does not cover this parser boundary. Why it matters: Required repair: Remove ad hoc YAML parsing. Feed the Go relation logic structured, normalized data produced by CUE ( Verification: Preserve the pristine 78:78 PASS and current double-owner rejection, then add at minimum these negative regression pairs: CUE-valid flow-style contract predicates with a missing registry entry; CUE-valid flow-style registry entries with mismatched owner/predicate; missing/empty semantic owner or predicate; and contract [BLOCKER] The R11 ledger closure contract still requires R10Location: Finding: The current R11 registry tells WC-5 to prove every marker agrees with Why it matters: If WC-5 implements the issue contract literally, a correct scan of the authorized R11 matter makes Required repair: Make ledger validation revision-relative rather than round-literal: read the expected revision from the authorized Verification: The validator contract contains no fixed prior/current round token; it passes when every live marker equals [REQUIRED] Operator-facing topology and current schema comments still driftLocation: PR #672 body, Finding: The repository README correctly says Why it matters: The operator and later schema Working Cell can reconstruct a different closure sequence and owner map from current control-plane/schema surfaces than from the authoritative registry.

Rewrite to normalize every input through `cue export --out json` (no ad-hoc YAML parsing), derive owners from semantic cell.id (cross-checked against wave node ids), fail closed on parse/normalization loss or empty owner|predicate.

External β ReviewVerdictITERATE R12 repairs the R11 validator defect: the CUE-normalized Go gate sees flow-style YAML, fails closed on malformed semantic identities, and rejects the exact complete-wave mutation that R11 false-passed. The revision-relative ledger contract and R11 projection repairs also converge. The wave is still not ready for γ or operator authorization because WC-5 carries a stale immutable input digest for the reconciliation map, making the terminal seal non-executable as contracted. Two additional source-truth defects remain: the alleged byte-exact grounding snapshot contains one byte not present in the API body, and the wave treats S1 as ratified doctrine while its pinned canonical status surfaces still say proposed/not ratified. All three are mechanically repairable without an operator policy decision. Review target: repository Reconstructed intentThe operator intends this manually bootstrapped Planning Cell to produce one content-bound, operator-authorizable relation graph of executable Working Cell contracts. After one revision-bound authorization, the runtime must be able to schedule the children from typed dependencies without asking the operator to wire each edge or asking a Working Cell to invent doctrine, measurement, assurance, migration, or closure policy. The wave must refine #627, preserve the CCNF role and authority separations, and prove whole-wave completion rather than infer it from child closure alone. What Claude producedAlpha retained the accepted six-node construction graph and forward-only assurance graph.

A worker reading the required artifact can coherently conclude the rules remain proposals, while the issue/receipt history says they were ratified. That is a state-truth and artifact-authority conflict at the foundation of WC-1, WC-2, and WC-3b, not a wording preference. Required repair: Represent and close the status reconciliation before consumers execute. The repaired wave must either include an executable bounded contract that updates the canonical status surfaces and place it before their consumers, or immutably bind the #628 ratification receipts and explicitly resolve the stale-banner conflict in the consuming contracts. Do not continue to describe the source as unconditionally settled while its own status says the opposite. Verification: Starting only from the repaired wave's immutable inputs, a Working Cell derives one answer to “is S1 ratified?” Canonical status text, #628 receipt evidence, wave prose, and child stop conditions agree; no current source still says [REQUIRED] The “exact bytes” grounding hash identifies a newline-normalized copy, not the source bodyLocation: Finding: Reading the comment body from the GitHub API and UTF-8 encoding that body yields 15,985 bytes and SHA-256 Why it matters: The comment identity is explicitly treated as a mutable carrier and the byte digest as the durable authority. A resolver comparing the claimed source digest with the source object fails. Normalization can be valid, but only if the normalization rule and both identities are explicit; silently hashing transport-added bytes defeats the evidence-binding distinction this repair was meant to establish. Required repair: Store the API body bytes exactly and re-pin the grounding digest through all child contracts and the wave, or explicitly type the artifact as a normalized transport capture and bind both the raw API-body digest and the normalized-artifact digest with the one-LF normalization rule. Do not call the normalized hash the source-body hash. Verification: A credential-free API-body extraction reproduces the declared raw-source SHA exactly; the stored snapshot comparison follows the declared identity/normalization rule; all derivative and child locators resolve to the corrected identities; changing either source or snapshot fails stale.

R13 repairs the three new findings — one BLOCKER + two REQUIRED, all mechanical, no operator decision: BLOCKER (content-stale input): WC-5's required reconcile-627.md input was pinned at a stale digest (795ef4a8) while the wave envelope carried the actual one (6d8ed66b) — WC-5 could not resolve a required input under its immutable locator, blocking the terminal seal. Re-pinned WC-5's reconcile locator to the actual bytes and swept the whole live sha256@path locator set (21 locators): one digest per path, each == sha256sum of its bytes, wc-5 reconcile == wave reconcile_627_ref. REQUIRED (state-truth): the wave consumed S1 (CELL-RUNTIME.md/#628) as settled while the pinned canonical banner still reads "Proposed/Not ratified". Bound the #628 ratification receipts immutably in wave.external_roots (PRs #629/#646 merged 2026-07-11, issue closed, beta-review R1 converged) and classified the stale banner as stale-historical doc-debt in reconcile-627.md (S1 → ratified-predecessor) and the WC-1/WC-2/WC-3b CELL-RUNTIME input comments, so source_doctrine_conflicts does not fire and a WC derives one answer. No graph change. REQUIRED (provenance): the grounding snapshot was labeled "byte-for-byte source" but is the exact GitHub API comment body + one terminal LF (raw API body 883671cf, 15985 bytes; stored artifact 9d1ab3a5, 15986 bytes). Relabeled a normalized transport capture binding both digests with the explicit +1-LF rule (grounding-cm.md, wave source_snapshot note, README); stopped calling 9d1ab3a5 the raw/exact source hash.

The complete CUE and Go suites remain green. The matter is not ready for γ or operator authorization because the purported immutable #628 ratification root is an unversioned prose assertion rather than a resolvable receipt locator, while each consuming child still receives only a source whose own banner says “Not ratified.” The operator-facing overview also still identifies the matter and current status as R12. Both defects are narrow Alpha repairs; no operator decision is needed. Review target: repository Reconstructed intentThe operator intends this manually bootstrapped Planning Cell to emit one content-bound, operator-authorizable relation graph of executable Working Cell contracts. A single revision-bound wave authorization must allow the runner to schedule children from typed dependencies without asking the operator to wire edges or asking a Working Cell to invent doctrine, measurement, assurance, migration, or closure policy.

What Claude producedAlpha retained the accepted six-node construction graph, forward-only assurance graph, faithful cell-contract shape, and materialized wave-boundary ownership validator. R13 re-pins the complete matter chain after correcting WC-5’s reconciliation locator; classifies the grounding snapshot as a normalized transport capture with separate raw and artifact digests; and adds a free-form wave external-root statement saying #628 ratified S1 and supersedes the pinned source’s stale status banner.

…overview revision (external-β R13) External-β R13 CONVERGED the WC-5 content-binding blocker and the grounding-identity finding (independently re-verified). R14 closes R13's two REQUIRED findings — both mechanical, no operator decision: REQUIRED (asserted, not bound): the #628 S1-ratification warrant was an unversioned prose string in wave.external_roots (which #Wave accepts as arbitrary text — β showed "PR #999 is allegedly enough" still passed cue vet + the Go gate), while each S1 consumer's required inputs held only CELL-RUNTIME.md (banner "Not ratified"). Bound the #628 γ-closeout receipt as a TYPED immutable repo_artifact locator (.cdd/unreleased/628/gamma-closeout.md @ 6e40d93, sha256 8aeffcff, verified present) as a REQUIRED INPUT of WC-1/WC-2/WC-3b, and upgraded the wave external-root to a real locator. A WC now derives "S1 ratified" from the pinned doctrine + the pinned receipt. Enforcement is native: a required-input locator must be a #Locator (repo_artifact|control_plane|prior_receipt), so a prose/bare-string authority is rejected by cue vet — proven by the new negative fixture schema/regressions/contract.bad-prose-input-locator.yaml. Corroborating: beta-review.md@6e40d934 sha256 20a21ae; PRs #629->562e8025, #646->a08c56ad merged 2026-07-11; issue #628 closed.

External β ReviewVerdictITERATE R14 repairs the two R13 representations mechanically: WC-1/WC-2/WC-3b now receive a typed immutable repository locator, the bare-prose substitution fixture fails for the intended CUE type conflict, and every live current-revision surface now says R14. The full CUE and Go suites, content bindings, graph derivation, and exact-head CI converge. One authority defect remains before γ/operator authorization: the artifact newly designated the “S1-ratification receipt” is γ’s pre-boundary closeout. Its own scope explicitly says it is not release-time closure and that #628, PR #646, and PR #629 were still open/unmerged. R14 therefore binds valid evidence but attributes the later ratification decision to γ instead of binding the later merge/close boundary event. This is a narrow, mechanically repairable role-and-evidence correction; no operator policy decision is needed. Review target: repository Reconstructed intentThe operator intends this manually bootstrapped Planning Cell to produce one content-bound, operator-authorizable graph of executable Working Cell contracts. One revision-bound authorization must let the runtime schedule child work from typed dependencies without asking a Working Cell to invent doctrine, authority, assurance, migration, or closure policy. The wave must preserve the CCNF separation among γ evidence binding, mechanical validation, and the applicable boundary decision. What Claude producedAlpha retained the accepted six-node construction graph, assurance graph, cell-contract shape, completion model, and materialized ownership gate. R14 adds I reviewed a detached exact-SHA worktree. Findings[REQUIRED] γ closeout is evidence for ratification, not the ratification boundary decisionLocation: Finding: R14 calls Why it matters: The generic kernel requires γ to bind matter, review, and evidence while δ/control-plane records or performs the boundary decision. Treating γ’s pre-decision receipt as the decision collapses those roles and asks a worker to infer ratification from an artifact that expressly says the boundary has not occurred. The type-level prose-substitution repair is sound, but the typed object currently points to the wrong authority class. Required repair: Keep the γ closeout as supporting evidence, but bind the later boundary decision explicitly: for example, use exact PR merge commits/control-plane event identities (and the closed #628 boundary where applicable) as the authoritative ratification inputs, with γ/β receipts linked as evidence.

… not γ (external-β R14) External-β R14 CONVERGED (typed immutable input + prose-substitution negative fixture + revision-truth). R14's one remaining REQUIRED, mechanical, no operator decision: REQUIRED (γ ≠ boundary decision): R14 labeled .cdd/unreleased/628/gamma-closeout.md "the S1-ratification authority", but that γ artifact's own scope says "PR-time close-out ... not release-time closure" and records issue #628 still OPEN at capture — so it is γ EVIDENCE (β R1 converged + γ bound the receipt), not the ratification DECISION. Attributing δ/boundary authority to γ collapses the CCNF role separation. R15 keeps the γ closeout as a required EVIDENCE input and binds the ratification DECISION as a typed control_plane required input of WC-1/WC-2/WC-3b: PR #629 merged as 562e802 + PR #646 merged as a08c56a (both verified ancestors of the pinned 6e40d93), then issue #628 CLOSED. A WC now establishes β converged -> γ bound receipt -> boundary actor merged/closed at immutable identities; removing the merge/close input makes "S1 ratified" underivable even with the γ closeout present. No surface calls γ alone the decision. The wave.external_roots γ entry is likewise reclassified evidence with the merge/close boundary as authority.

External β ReviewVerdictITERATE R15 corrects the R14 authority classification: γ is now supporting evidence and the later merge/close boundary is named as the decision. The underlying control-plane facts independently reproduce, and all established CUE, Go, graph, content-binding, and exact-head checks remain green. One contract defect still prevents authorization: the new Review target: repository Reconstructed intentThe operator intends this manually bootstrapped Planning Cell to produce one content-bound, operator-authorizable graph of executable Working Cell contracts. One revision-bound authorization must let the runtime schedule children from typed dependencies without asking a Working Cell to invent doctrine, authority, transport parsing, assurance, migration, or closure policy. Durable authority must be represented by canonical artifacts and mechanically resolvable identities, with γ evidence distinct from the applicable boundary decision. What Claude producedAlpha retained the accepted six-node construction graph, assurance graph, faithful cell-contract shape, completion model, and materialized ownership gate. R15 reclassifies the pinned #628 γ closeout as evidence and adds a I reviewed a detached exact-SHA worktree. Findings[REQUIRED] The boundary decision is packed into an undefined prose revision, not canonical resolvable identitiesLocation: Finding: Each consumer now gets one locator: kind: control_plane
ref: "cnos#628 ratification boundary — PR #629 + PR #646 merged, issue #628 closed"
revision: "git-merge-commits <sha629> (#629) + <sha646> (#646); both ancestors of <sha>; issue #628 CLOSED — immutable merge/close identities"The canonical Why it matters: WC-2 is obligated to emit the ref/content-hash resolver, but its own authorized input now requires a new parser and new semantics not represented in its contract. Implementations could variously check that the SHAs exist, check ancestry, query PR state, query issue state, or trust the sentence. This recreates the prose-authority defect inside a typed field and violates the “one canonical interface”/no-hidden-policy requirement. Required repair: Represent each authority object as a singular mechanically resolvable locator using an existing canonical shape. The smallest path is to bind the doctrine and γ evidence at the exact PR merge commits through separate Verification: From each repaired child’s inputs, resolve each atomic identity with the existing declared resolver semantics and reproduce: doctrine merge, evidence merge, then close event if required.

Alpha authors and repairs the wave, external β independently discriminates it, γ binds the actual evidence, CC supplies the applicable coherence judgment, and the operator alone authorizes the wave. The bootstrap arrangement may disclose hosting limitations, but it must not turn role labels or mutable control-plane prose into evidence that a firebreak held. What Claude producedThe frozen R16 matter is the previously converged six-node Findings[BLOCKER] A Git author label does not establish a distinct non-κ γ actorLocation: Finding: The load-bearing repair says γ is a “distinct non-κ actor” and that this is made observable by Git author Why it matters: The prior closeout was voided for exactly this firebreak. If an arbitrary author string is accepted as the repair, role separation becomes self-attestation and CC cannot discriminate an independent γ closure from witness theater. Required repair: Dispatch an actual γ activation distinct from κ and bind durable provenance sufficient to identify that activation: dispatch/activation identity, exact frozen inputs (matter SHA, β source identity/hash, applicable contract), and the γ output hash. The committer may transport the artifact, but the receipt must distinguish transport from authorship. Do not claim Git author metadata itself proves identity.

External β ReviewVerdictITERATE R17 correctly repairs the byte-exact β capture, separates Review target: repository Reconstructed intentThe operator intends one manually bootstrapped Planning Cell to produce a revision-bound executable wave while preserving real role and evidence boundaries. The bootstrap may disclose in-host limitations, but γ must remain distinguishable from κ by durable provenance, γ must bind the actual external β evidence, and every mutable authorization input must be demonstrably fresh at the boundary. What Claude producedR17 added a byte-exact 9,894-byte β payload and separate κ metadata envelope, snapshotted the issue-body exemption, documented separate matter and receipt revisions, dispatched a γ sub-activation, replaced the γ closeout, and appended a transport receipt. The R16 wave subtree remains byte-identical. The PR body now presents the two-SHA model and the receipt-stage sequence accurately. Findings[BLOCKER] The “activation identity” field still contains no activation identityLocation: Finding: Why it matters: The repair’s governing purpose is to distinguish a genuine γ activation from κ relabeling its own closeout. Without an actual identity/evidence handle, the receipt remains self-attestation and does not repair the exact firebreak that caused the prior CC HOLD. Required repair: Record the actual opaque activation identifier emitted by the orchestration substrate, plus a resolvable immutable dispatch/completion receipt or transcript/event reference binding that identifier to the frozen input set and returned output hash. Keep Git author metadata and commit scope as corroboration, not identity proof. If the substrate exposes no durable activation identity, state that limitation truthfully and do not claim the firebreak is proven; route the unresolved boundary to the operator instead of self-closing it. Verification: A fresh reviewer resolves the recorded activation identifier/event independently of the κ-authored prose, sees the fixed input set and completion output identity, and matches the returned bytes to SHA-256 [REQUIRED] The exemption is already stale, and γ did not run the promised freshness checkLocation: live issue #671 Finding: The committed exemption snapshot is 3,862 bytes, SHA-256 Why it matters: This is the concrete stale-input failure the snapshot was introduced to prevent. A snapshot hash without a live comparison proves only internal consistency, not freshness. CC/operator would be handed a receipt claiming the gate passes when the specified gate already fails. Required repair: Make the live section and committed snapshot byte-identical, then have γ explicitly execute and record the live-vs-snapshot comparison, including observed issue Verification: The live extracted section and committed payload compare byte-for-byte equal and both hash to the same named value; a one-byte mutation returns FAIL STALE. γ’s bound-evidence table includes this live check rather than only Wave graph assessment
