Levi Neuwirth a229a977a2 Scope G-minor: the schema minor is content-addressed, and that changes the rung
The scoping question was whether the chunk header's minor reaches a pinned
corpus. It does, and worse: chunk_content_hash pushes SchemaVersion's canonical
bytes -- major AND minor -- into the preimage, so raising a minor changes the
ChunkId and propagates to the manifest that names it. Not a semantic break,
since readers gate on the major only, but a content-address-moving change
landing on the structure req:format:manifest-id makes a two-writer promise
about.

The text projection also projects the minor as a document surface, and the
committed corpus carries six literal (schema 0 1) occurrences, so op-block
minors rising means another companion bump on the G1/G2a precedent.

The policy is the real work and is left for ratification: one minor per tranche
(a retroactive judgement needing a hand-maintained table -- a seventh such site
on a track whose defining lesson is that they go stale), minor as the highest
discriminant emitted (derivable, self-describing, nothing to maintain, but
redefines the term and is per-vocabulary), or a per-major append counter. I
recommend the second and say why the recommendation is not a default.

Four further questions logged, including whether the canonical base is exempt:
its major is role-pinned to 0 and its byte-identity test pins the payload, not
the header, so a base whose minor rises keeps its payload and moves its id.

Levi Neuwirth 55eff00778 G2a review fixes: a false deviation, and two tests that proved less than claimed
Four findings, all confirmed against the tree.

The accept-set "deviation" was not real, and I propagated it. bundle.rs:1322
has asserted max_supported_major(OperationEnvelopeBlock) == 2 since before
this packet, so the gate was always satisfiable; the privacy observation about
the symbol not being re-exported is true but irrelevant, because the assertion
never needed to live outside the crate. I checked the premise and not the
conclusion, then reported it as verified. No re-export is needed here or by
G-minor. The test now also asserts what the contract actually asked for -- that
a staged block carrying either kind stamps major 0, exercising the writer-side
derivation rather than the bare kind.

s3 asserted effects only, though the contract required chain growth too. A
mutant returning Applied while skipping WriteChain::record for an unchanged
value passed it, and the damage would surface only later as an undo restoring
the base instead of reporting supersession. The two identical writes now sit in
different transactions and a strict undo of the first must report the second as
superseding; mutation (b) kills exactly that half while the effects half stays
green.

s9 claimed no mutation was needed because the test is itself a reject-path
exercise. That reasoning was wrong: being a reject-path test does not show the
rejection is caused by the mislabeling rather than something incidental. The
mutation -- a parse arm that silently accepts a mismatched shape -- was both
performable and killing.

core_spec grouped SetCanvasLayoutDefaults and CreateInstrument as leaves with a
single layout. True only of the first. Instrument has distinct major-0/1/2
layouts and stamps major 2 unconditionally because its major-2 appends are
mandatory, so it is not major 1 for the opposite reason. Split.

All ten contract mutations now have observed kill evidence: s1, s2, s4, s8 and
s10's row-28 half were run here alongside the four recorded earlier. s8 killed
only the two pinned literal-byte vectors while 217 round-trip tests stayed
green -- the 3b-i property, demonstrated rather than asserted.

Gate: fmt clean, clippy 0, 1371 passed / 0 failed, conformance 8/8 and 9/9,
labels 6/6, core_spec PDF 0 undefined refs, goldens byte-identical,
epiphany-bundle diff empty.

Levi Neuwirth 61890a046f Editor T4 opens: the toolkit spike gets a contract that cannot be argued with
Ruling A grants the architecture -- direct vector canvas over ResolvedLayoutIR,
viewport-culled, per-system damage -- and deliberately leaves the toolkit open
for this spike to decide under six recorded criteria. All three prerequisites
are discharged (W1 dd33b34, W2 24f8c80, W3 f639919), so the tranche opens.

The contract's problem is not what to build but how to keep the answer honest.
Six criteria across three candidate stacks is unbounded work with a dozen
places for the verdict to be decided by whoever writes the report. So the
structure is an elimination ladder, cheapest disqualifier first, with every
deciding number pinned before it is measured: the fixture ladder F1-F4 and its
musical-content recipe, the deciding rung, the equivalence band, the tie-break
and its three operationally defined axes, and the oracles -- committed, with
their commit recorded, before any candidate renders against them.

Five review rounds shaped it, and most of what they caught was mine.

Measurement. Timed work must be completed GPU work, not submission, or a
candidate that returns after enqueueing looks fast. One common configuration
across all candidates: offscreen, 1920x1080, identical MSAA and format,
--release --locked, both adapters with the integrated one deciding. Freehand
latency runs from scheduled event injection to completion of the first frame
containing that event, backlog included; timing from renderer pickup would let
a candidate buffer the trace, render late, drop nothing, and report fast update
work while lagging visibly.

Damage. The first draft compared raw PrimitiveIndices, which are positions in
flat arrays -- so a pitch change that preserves primitive count moves geometry
while every vector stays identical, and an inserted accidental renumbers
indices so untouched systems look changed. It is now fingerprints over
dereferenced primitives, unowned included. And byte equality alone lets a full
redraw masquerade as per-system damage, so the oracle is paired with a reuse
assertion over the scene cache, at every engraving-valid rung, before the
ranking round rather than inside it.

Outcomes. A check that ran and got the wrong answer is FAIL, not NOT RUN;
conflating them let a broken implementation buy an escalation instead of
recording negative evidence. Capability and timing are separate cells.
Eligibility is a disqualifying set tracked apart from criterion cells, so a
user waiver actually reaches the tie-break instead of leaving a decision with
no effect. Both no-winner paths are total: disqualification, and ranking-loss
wipeout when nobody renders the deciding rung.

Maintenance inputs are reproducible rather than selectable: upstreams pinned
per candidate before any figure is fetched, composites taking the worse value
per axis, maintainer identity machine-observable, the issue snapshot archived,
and unanswered issues contributing infinity rather than their current age --
which would otherwise score twenty ignored issues opened yesterday as
excellent responsiveness.

What the spike is not: the app. No command registry, no editing, no document
layer, no goldens. Ruling D creates epiphany-editor-app fresh after this
verdict. And it does not reopen Ruling A -- a finding that no candidate can
implement the granted architecture escalates as an amendment request and does
not silently promote the SVG path back.

Docs only; no code, no crate, no gate movement.

Levi Neuwirth 7df5ca17ce Genesis G2a: two settings setters, and the vocabulary's documentation catches up
SetCanvasLayoutDefaults and SetSpellingPrecedence, kinds and tags 32/33, on the
SetMetadata LWW pattern: advisory last-writer-wins, no conflict, no idempotence
short-circuit, seeded from the base so a value-restoring undo of the first
operational write reaches the pre-operational value. Both carried types already
had Codec impls, so the packet designs no wire layout -- canonical_value!
delegation and one push_lp_bytes each, inheriting strict canonical-form
rejection rather than writing it.

Both stamp schema major 0 unconditionally, staying in the catch-all arm. The
op-block accept-set is untouched at 2; epiphany-bundle has an empty diff. The
raise to 3 belongs to G2b, and the chunk schema minor -- a MUST no writer has
ever honoured -- belongs to G-minor, filed as P13-S14 and deliberately not
fixed here.

Most of this commit is documentation the vocabulary had outgrown. G1 shipped
five normative falsehoods because its contract declared the wire surfaces out
of scope, and Push 4a left TransposeInterval out of both of core_spec's
normative listings. So binary_format's payload-layout and tag tables now reach
33 rather than 30, its snapshot-only bullet records that it is empty and why,
two spelled-out payload counts move from eight to nine, and core_spec's
listings gain all four missing kinds. The Pass-12 K8 doctrine is narrowed
rather than reversed: the root and canvas remain structural givens no operation
mints, and only the claim that the score's contents arrive outside the
operation set is superseded.

Two generators were stale by two tranches and fed corpora other suites treat as
exhaustive. layout_stub's is now derived from PAYLOAD_FREE with an explicit
Registered append instead of a hand-written match, so future built-ins follow
structurally; s10 asserts PAYLOAD_FREE union {Registered} so deleting that
append cannot pass.

Companion 0.8.0 -> 0.9.0, binary format 0.11.0 -> 0.12.0, catalog 0.9.0 ->
0.10.0 (covering G1 retroactively). 102 decode vectors, regenerated.

Coordinator verification: 1371 passed / 0 failed, clippy 0 warnings, fmt clean,
conformance 8/8 and 9/9, requirement_labels 6/6, four PDFs at 0 undefined
references, goldens byte-identical, accept-set confirmed still 2. Mutations
s3/s5/s7/s10 re-run independently and each observed to kill its test.

Two findings beyond the contract. max_supported_major is not reachable outside
epiphany-bundle -- mod bundle is private and the symbol is absent from its
pub use -- so the gate's "assert it in code" was unsatisfiable without touching
a crate the contract forbids; verified by reading the unedited source instead.
And core_spec carries two P12-K8 references, not one; the contract named only
the first, so the second is annotated here for consistency.

Levi Neuwirth 4a4988ce88 The latency wall is document-lifetime, not one sitting
Review found the mitigation attached to the last landing reading the wrong
code path. EditorSession::open does start with an empty applied log, but that
is the score-only probe constructor. The savable-document path is Ruling B's:
reopen is full replay, stored envelopes load as a committed partition, and
materialization reduces committed plus session operations together. Nothing
resets the depth this bench varies until the checkpoint and pruning machinery
assigned to T4b can write a new canonical_base.

So consequence (e) is withdrawn rather than corrected in place. The ~4,500-edit
wall is a budget on a document's whole accumulated history, and there is no
session reset to lean on -- neither as reassurance about the number nor as
support for the sequencing argument, which rests on paint dominance and does
not need it. T4b's trigger is correspondingly firmer than it read yesterday.

Also: two comments still described the gated core portion as reduce plus
engrave, from before envelope construction was added as a third stage. The
sum they document has included it since the last landing.

Verified in an isolated worktree at HEAD rather than in the working tree,
which still carries the genesis tranche's in-flight work: fmt clean, clippy 0
with and without golden-gate, gate OK with every verdict unchanged (the edits
are documentation only).

Levi Neuwirth 986c9cc5a1 The edit-latency bench measures the log a session actually writes
Review found the first version generating every envelope with an empty causal
context. Production gives only the root that shape: each later edit carries
active_prior_context(), the head's context extended by the head, so it covers
the whole active prefix. Reduction orders on those edges, so a context-free log
exercises a different algorithm -- and a cheaper one. Counters were wrong the
same way: EditorSession mints at authored.len(), so the root is counter zero,
which is also what extend_context recognises as the start of a contiguous run.

Remeasured on a session-shaped log, reduce is roughly three times its former
self at depth ten thousand -- 54 ms, not 17 -- and the wall moves from about ten
thousand edits to between three and five thousand. That is the number T4b is
sequenced against, so the first table would have mis-sequenced it. Depths three
and five thousand now bracket the crossing; sampling only decades hid it.

Two findings survive the correction and one is weakened. Reduce is still the
only depth-scaling stage, and is superlinear at about n^1.4 -- which does not
contradict the reduction bench's subquadratic result at fifty thousand
envelopes, because that log is generated across three replicas with a different
causal shape, and two logs of equal length are not equal work. Engrave is still
flat, at 260 to 327 microseconds, and is still the larger half of the core's
portion at shallow depth, so criterion 2's "uninformative while reduction
dominates" holds only past roughly depth five hundred. But "render dominates at
realistic depths" is now bounded: paint leads by four and a half times at depth
one hundred, is level by one thousand, and is left behind after. T4 before T4b
still stands -- the canvas removes what dominates a session's first thousand-odd
edits -- but the two are no longer comfortably separated.

The gate now includes envelope construction, which the requirement names first
and the first version silently dropped. It is forty nanoseconds and never moves
a verdict; a gate that omits a named component is a proxy for the requirement
rather than the requirement.

The 98% claim is replaced by both figures with their denominators named: what a
direct-IR canvas avoids is 83% of the full measured per-edit pipeline, and 99.8%
of the render path alone. The unqualified number was supported by neither.

One row changed marking for a reason worth recording. Depth four thousand passes
clean at 12.99 ms, but that is 78% of budget, and a load-contaminated run
measured it at 22.77 ms -- above the five thousand row, which is impossible
clean. A Pass row that fails whenever the machine is busy teaches people to
ignore the gate, so the last gated Pass is three thousand and four thousand's
clean number is kept as data in the table instead.

Also recorded: depth is per session, not per document. EditorSession::open
starts with an empty applied log, so reopening resets it and the reduced score
becomes the new pristine base. That is what keeps a four-figure wall from being
catastrophic -- though note entry mints one operation per note, so it is
reachable in a sitting.

Verified in an isolated worktree at HEAD rather than in the working tree, which
currently carries the genesis tranche's in-flight G2 work: fmt clean, clippy 0
with and without golden-gate, workspace tests green, gate OK across all five
rows.

Levi Neuwirth 4043627898 Contract G2a round five: the sixth hand-maintained site, and locking Registered
The literal-site count said four and named three plus two generator bounds. The
omitted one is OperationKind::discriminant() -- the hand-written match that
Push 4a got wrong in the first place, and the one the contract elsewhere notes
the tag macro does not guard. All six are now enumerated, with the count after
row 29's derivation stated as five so the next tranche inherits an accurate
number rather than this one's.

s10's layout-stub half asserted kinds 30-33, which would have survived deleting
the required Registered append -- PAYLOAD_FREE excludes it by design and the
generator's doc promises every variant, so the gap between them is exactly
where the bug would live. It now asserts PAYLOAD_FREE union {Registered}, with
removal of Registered as the mutation. Future built-ins follow structurally
with no test change; the one payload-bearing variant that cannot stays locked.

Levi Neuwirth 2b86e8033a Contract G2a round four: three generator sites, and a grep I read and ignored
All three confirmed. Two of them contain SetMetadata and appeared in the very
grep the touch table claimed to be derived from, so the derivation claim is
struck rather than repaired: the evidence was on screen and went unused, which
is worse than not having looked.

generators.rs:647 and layout_stub.rs:951 are both already stale by two
tranches -- neither emits TransposeInterval or CreateInstrument -- and both
feed corpora other suites treat as exhaustive, so a missing kind is untested
everywhere downstream while every suite stays green. layout_stub's doc comment
claims every variant while its bound omits two. Its fix is structural rather
than additive: derive the built-ins from PAYLOAD_FREE and append Registered,
which payload.rs:1991 already does. New test s10 asserts both generators emit
all four appended kinds.

textproj_kind.rs:597 is a fourth hand-maintained literal count.

The pattern is worth naming: operation_kind_tag_vocabulary! exists because
Push 4a added TransposeInterval to a hand-written match and nothing else, and
its own doc says four hand-maintained lists stayed green. The macro made the
compile-enforced half safe, and these three lists went stale at that same
append anyway, because nothing forces an rng bound or a literal count to move.
Hence: prefer deriving over extending wherever a list can be derived, and
report the sites that cannot be.

Levi Neuwirth 5eac1c9bc7 Contract G2a round three: Push-4a listing debt, and the ladder order
TransposeInterval is missing from both Core normative listings, which carry the
older Transpose and never gained its successor at kind 30. So the vocabulary
has drifted from its normative listings for two tranches, not one, and both
listings need four additions rather than two. The contract's grep list gains
TransposeInterval, and names the signature worth hunting: a spelled-out count
that disagrees with the enumeration beside it.

for_major does not return {major, 0} unconditionally -- V0 is {0, 1}, and only
V1 through V3 carry minor 0. Corrected in the contract, the plan, and P13-S14.
The finding is unchanged: the function accepts only a major, so no per-kind
additive minor can reach it.

Ladder order is now explicit as G2a -> G-minor -> G2b, with the reason. The
sweep is scoped to kinds 24-33, which is what exists once G2a lands; running
G2b first appends kind 34 and would either grow the sweep mid-flight or ship 34
carrying the defect the rung exists to retire.

Core is five live-text edits plus one historical annotation, not five edits.

Levi Neuwirth 47fb4266c4 Ruling A criterion 2 stops being an assumption
The staged interactive-edit latency bench: reduce / engrave / scene-build /
paint measured separately, gating the core's portion against
req:perf:single-system-edit-latency's 16.7 ms frame. Criterion 2 asserts that a
toolkit verdict is uninformative while reduction dominates, and that sentence
had never been measured; the sequencing question it governs -- T4's spike now,
or T4b's incrementality first -- was resting on it.

The stage split is not invented here. It is the seam EditorSession::materialize
already walks, read off its private render_score and reproduced stage for
stage, so the bench measures the pipeline rather than a model of it. Only reduce
and engrave are gated: the requirement bounds "the core's portion" and says in
its own words that edit-to-pixel latency is a product-layer obligation, so
charging the SVG serializer and resvg against a core budget would be a category
error. They are measured and printed because the ruling asks for the stages
separately, and because today's is the path Ruling A demotes -- the number is
the baseline a canvas must beat, not a budget to defend.

Four findings, in the order they matter. Reduce is the only stage that scales
with log depth, near-linearly, and it breaks the frame at roughly ten thousand
edits -- 17.26 ms against 16.7, a three percent miss, so an order of magnitude
rather than a threshold. Engrave is flat and small at ~280 microseconds, and at
shallow depth it is the larger half of the core's portion, which qualifies
criterion 2 rather than confirming it: reduction does not dominate until about
depth five hundred. Paint is the largest single cost at every realistic depth --
2.12 ms at depth one hundred is four and a half times the entire core portion.
And scene-build is 3.5 microseconds of IR work plus about 130 of SVG
serialization, which the no-feature run separates: a canvas consuming the IR
directly skips some ninety-eight percent of today's per-edit cost, none of it in
the core.

The sequencing answer is therefore that T4 before T4b stands, for the opposite
reason to the one assumed. The dominant cost at the depths real sessions reach
is the render path Ruling A already demoted, not reduction. T4b's trigger is a
session ten thousand edits deep, and the bench now watches for it as the one
Xfail row.

Two things the bench had to survive being wrong about, both mine. The depth-1000
row was drafted Xfail on the assumption Fact 8 would already bite; it passes
with eightfold margin, the gate's XPASS notice said so, and the row is promoted
here rather than left stale -- which is the whole point of that mechanism. And
the first edit log alternated transposition direction per operation, which is
degenerate when the pitch-list length is even: every edit to a given pitch
pushed the same way, drifting it twenty-five semitones by depth 1000 and would
have been two hundred and fifty by depth 10000. That inflated engrave by a
factor of two and paint by nearly three -- a score-content change wearing a
log-depth costume. Alternating per pass instead bounds drift to one semitone.
The residual content effect is documented rather than hidden: paint is
non-monotonic in depth because pass-count parity decides how many accidentals
the score carries, and reading its dip at depth 10000 as a scaling win would be
a mistake.

Stated limitation: the testkit's largest fixture is three staves by ten
measures, so the engrave and scene-build columns are lower bounds and this
cannot prove the budget holds on the hundred-page orchestral score the
requirement contemplates. It shows where the time goes at the scale we can
build, and a row that misses at this size misses by more at a real one.

Levi Neuwirth c39e58a755 Contract G2a round two: the schema-minor debt, and a test that could not fail
All four findings verified against the tree before fixing; all four hold.

The schema-minor MUST (binary_format.tex:2330) has never been implemented.
SchemaVersion::for_major accepts no minor and returns {major, 0}, and both
staging paths derive only the major, so kinds 24-27, 28-29, 30, and 31 already
carry no additive-version record -- and the requirement's own rationale is
exactly what the gap defeats: a reader meeting an appended discriminant cannot
tell a stale vocabulary from damaged bytes. Filed as P13-S14 and ruled a
separate rung after G2a, sweeping 24-33 in one retroactive pass rather than
blocking G2a on a debt eight kinds deep or paying for two partial sweeps. G2a
now says explicitly that it extends the violation by two, knowingly, and
forbids working around the absence.

s7 could not fail. WorkingSnapshot::restore reassigns the whole graph
independently of every write chain, so omitting a chain leaves stale history
while the field still rolls back -- the prescribed assertion passed under its
own mutation. Two framings of this test were wrong; the third asserts against
a later undo's predecessor, and the contract now requires the mutation be run
rather than reasoned about. s8's mutation was impossible as written: each
payload has one field, so there are no adjacent fields to swap. Swapping
discriminants 32/33 in both halves is the self-consistent mutation that leaves
round-trips green and kills correctly-named literal vectors.

The normative repair surface doubles: eleven sites across four documents, five
of them G1 debt. Core's normative OperationKind and OperationKindTag listings
are missing CreateInstrument as well as both new kinds; the catalog's
value-restoration family list is normative for undo and omitting a family is a
silent semantic gap; two spelled-out payload counts move. Since two independent
reviews each found sites the other missed, the list is a floor and the contract
now prescribes grepping the load-bearing phrases.

Also: core_spec said "two edits" and prescribed more, and the split-cost
accounting counted only Text Projection when G2b repeats the Binary Format and
Operation Catalog work too.

Levi Neuwirth f639919ee1 Editor T4-pre W3: the text run carries both its string and its ink
The last T4 prerequisite, and the one that had to be a ruling rather than a
packet: a canvas, an exporter, a hit test, and an accessibility tree must agree
about text, and what they agree on is decided by where the shaper runs relative
to the canonical boundary.

The census reframes the tranche. Three of the five categories the plan names --
lyrics, chord symbols, rehearsal marks -- carry no text in the model at all:
LyricLine holds only event references, ChordSymbol and Marker only an anchor.
They are blocked on a core-track schema major, not on this decision. What the
primitive does gate is the text the model already has: score metadata,
instrument and staff names, and text-line spanners. That is a smaller v1 than
the plan implied and a real one, and bidi and fallback are exercised through
synthetic fixtures that need no model work.

The ruling is a fourth resolved primitive carrying the source string and the
canonical shaped result together. The alternative that discards the string
renders a title as anonymous outlines and is unreadable to a screen reader; the
alternative that discards the shaped result lets two consumers draw the same
bytes differently, which contradicts the definition of canonical_bytes as the
rendering fingerprint. Both halves stay, and the apparent trade between
deterministic geometry and accessibility turns out not to exist.

Two drafts were wrong in opposite directions and the errors are recorded rather
than quietly fixed, because each came from asserting a constraint instead of
reading the requirement that governs it. Draft 1 held that shaping before the
canonical boundary poisons cross-implementation byte equality -- but layout
determinism is byte-equal only within one implementation at a fixed version;
across implementations it is reference-suite thresholds, and the spec says so in
both the determinism table and req:solver:cross-implementation-conformance.
Draft 1 had imported the score layer's guarantee into the layout layer, where
the spec deliberately weakens it. Revision 2 then over-corrected, banning host
fonts outright on the grounds that an OS font update breaks fixed-version
stability -- but that requirement defines identical inputs to include font
metrics referenced by version and content hash, so an updated font is a changed
input. The rule that survives is narrower than either: no ambient or unresolved
lookup, and a host face may participate only once resolved to an exact
content-hashed asset every consumer can obtain.

The identity is specified rather than gestured at, because bytes that do not
determine ink are worse than bytes that admit they don't. A face is pinned by a
hash over the font file, not its metrics -- GlyphCatalogIdentity's metrics_hash
covers bounding boxes, advances and anchors, which pins spacing and not shape --
together with face index, variation coordinates and synthetic weight/slant.
Segments carry font-internal glyph ids, source ranges, direction, script,
language and em size; glyph offsets have alignment already applied, so a
consumer places by origin alone; positions quantize on the same 1/1024 grid as
every other primitive. The cluster map indexes UTF-8 byte offsets with caret
stops at grapheme boundaries carrying bidi affinity, and the Unicode
segmentation version is always part of the identity -- otherwise two
implementations could agree on every pixel and still differ inside the
fingerprint, where no visual test would ever see it.

One consequence lands on the exporter: SVG cannot honour "no consumer reshapes"
with <text>, which carries characters and lets the viewer's shaper choose the
glyphs, so a ligature or positional form silently draws something the layout did
not resolve. Conformant text export emits explicit glyphs as paths through the
same face, reusing the mode render-svg already has for music.

The reservation is re-ordered to follow shaping rather than precede it -- with a
canonical shaper in the pipeline, reserved_box becomes a solver policy over
measured bounds, not an estimate of them. Paint-time re-spacing stays forbidden.

Two findings for the core track, named so their absence is a decision. Score
text authored through operations is not NFC-validated: the envelope's NFC-
checked string reader covers only directly encoded strings such as transaction
labels, while SetMetadataOp, CreateStaffOp, CreateInstrumentOp and the cross-
cutting values embed the core codec's bytes, which preserve non-NFC strings by
design. And the .tex amendment adding the primitive changes the layout
fingerprint but needs no bundle or wire schema-major move, following strokes and
curves.

Levi Neuwirth 4a4a766d4b Contract G2a review fixes: the normative surfaces, and a G1 debt
All four findings verified independently against the tree before fixing; all
four hold, and the first is worse than filed.

P1 (normative wire docs) is not a G2a omission but a G1 regression. 3b09595
touched operation_catalog.tex and text_projection.tex and no other .tex, so it
shipped four falsehoods: binary_format's payload-layout and tag tables stop at
kind 30 while 31 is assigned in code, and req:binfmt:kind-discriminants says
each row pins the payload's byte layout; binary_format:2432 still asserts there
is no CreateInstrument; core_spec:12186 still says Canvas.layout_defaults and
Instrument.range reach only the non-canonical snapshot; and the catalog gained
a CreateInstrument section with no version bump against its own convention.
G2a now repairs all four and adds its own two surfaces, with explicit version
and changelog dispositions for binary_format (0.11.0 -> 0.12.0), the catalog
(0.9.0 -> 0.10.0, covering G1 retroactively), and two narrow core_spec edits.

The core_spec:5114 amendment is pinned rather than left to a subagent. The
K8 paragraph has a load-bearing half the ruling does not touch -- root and
canvas remain structural givens no operation mints -- and only the
outside-the-operation-set clause is superseded.

P1 (source) adds ops/src/lib.rs re-exports and the textproj parse.rs literal
HEADER fixture, whose tracking test is a tripwire that fires by design.

P2: s8 and s9 gain the mutations they lacked, and s2's was fabricated --
set_metadata contains no comparison to reverse, it records and overwrites
unconditionally, so the mutation is now setter-local first-write-wins. s7's
framing was backwards: WorkingSnapshot is transaction rollback, so omitting a
chain retains a failed transaction's write rather than losing history, and the
wrong framing would have sent the test hunting the wrong symptom.

Records the G2b holdout: ScoreTuningContext's Codec deliberately drops
accidental_extensions while OperationSet::accept stores envelopes as objects,
so a naive full-value SetTuningContext diverges between a live session and the
same document reloaded -- and canonical_value! cannot see it, because its
check compares bytes and never the originating value.

Levi Neuwirth be40eb2d7d Contract G2a: the split, and the two setters that move no wire bound
G2 was scoped as one packet of three LWW setters. Reading the frozen codec
walks rather than the type labels shows they do not sit at the same major:
SpellingPrecedence has never been versioned, CanvasLayoutDefaults is versioned
in the containing Canvas walk and not the leaf, and only ScoreTuningContext is
born at v3. So the accept-set raise — a one-way door — is charged to one
surface, not amortised across nine as the ruling's framing implied. G2 splits:
G2a is the two major-0 setters and touches epiphany-bundle not at all; G2b is
SetTuningContext alone, carrying the raise and the S13 close.

Withdraws plan trap 5. SetMetadata already answers it: Score::empty seeds
metadata exactly as it seeds tuning_context, the base ingest seeds the LWW
chain from it, and restoring that seed is correct for both never-authored and
authored-to-default. These are always-valued fields, not map keys, so the
Predecessor::Base/::Write distinction that matters for spellings and breaks
does not apply here.

Records the G1 lesson as a trap in its own right: an OperationKind variant is
not containable to core+ops, and the G2a contract budgets all three downstream
literal sites up front instead of discovering them mid-dispatch.

Corrects S13's amortisation claim, and states the closure argument properly —
the canonical base is a MaterializedState that embeds no graph values for any
field, so S13 closes on the metadata precedent, not on the base. Notes the
consequence: after G2b, pruning would discard authored state.

Levi Neuwirth 3b09595196 Genesis G1: CreateInstrument, and the from-empty spine reaches a note
Score::empty plus operations alone now materializes a note-bearing Score. The
chain CreateInstrument -> CreateStaff -> CreateRegion -> CreateStaffInstance ->
CreateVoice -> InsertEvent needed exactly one new link: CreateStaff already
demanded a live Instrument and nothing could create one.

Instrument is a root with no outbound references, so the operation carries no
referential preconditions -- only mint and byte-identical re-carry, on the
CreateStaff template. It designs no wire layout: Instrument joins
canonical_value! and the payload is one push_lp_bytes over the existing Codec,
so strict canonical-form rejection is inherited rather than written. Kind 31 and
tag 31 agree; schema_major is unconditionally 2 (Instrument's major-2 appends
are mandatory, not Option-hidden); bundle.rs is untouched and the op-block
accept-set stays 2, since that raise belongs to G2.

Two cross-cutting items the ruling required. Reduction now writes identity for
the first time, deriving next_counter from the log rather than trusting the
seed -- and the implementation is broader than contracted, covering minted
entity ids as well as operation ids, which is right: both burn counters. And the
from-empty path is pinned to reduce_operation_set_onto, since the base-free mode
skips referential preconditions by design; a test documents that asymmetry as
designed rather than as a bug to fix.

The contract's parallel-safety claim was WRONG and this commit corrects it.
Extending OperationKind is not containable to core+ops: Rust exhaustiveness
forces an arm in editor-core's barriers.rs, and because testkit depends on
editor-core, that one missing arm blocked conformance and requirement_labels
too. Three more downstream sites had 31 or a kind-count baked in as a literal --
layout-ir's barrier decode test, testkit's grammar vocabulary count, and the
textproj corpus generator. The subagent found the first two, reverted its
out-of-bounds edit, and reported rather than working around; the user authorized
the boundary crossing. Each literal now carries a comment saying it must move
with every tag append.

The text projection needed a companion bump, which the contract never
anticipated. Adding create-instrument to the kind production while holding
0.7.0 would leave two incompatible grammars claiming one version -- precisely
what the single-version gate exists to prevent -- so COMPANION_VERSION is now
0.8.0, the first kind appended since the header was gated. Cached projections do
not migrate and are not expected to: a TextProjection chunk is a non-canonical
accelerator, so a stale one is regenerated. The negative "wrong version" vector
had to flip, since 0.8.0 was the version it used as its future-and-therefore-
rejected example; it now names 0.7.0, which tests the deferred migrate-on-read
posture better anyway. Test headers that were literals now assert against the
constant.

Gate, all observed: fmt clean; clippy --workspace --all-targets 0 warnings;
1359 passed / 0 failed; requirement_labels 6/6; conformance 8/8 and 9/9 with
golden-gate, 96 decode vectors and 13 textproj vectors, every verdict agreed.
max_supported_major(OperationEnvelopeBlock) verified still 2. Both PDFs rebuilt.
Mutations i1, i3 and i5 re-run independently rather than taken on report: the
spine collapses to TargetMissing without the instrument, an unseeded
instrument_values misreports a base re-carry as RecreateContentMismatch, and a
seed-returning cursor yields 0 where 12 is required.

Levi Neuwirth 4e30fe8475 Contract G1: one operation, and the two things that make from-empty correct
The ladder is ratified, so this contracts its first rung. CreateInstrument is
the single missing link between Score::empty and a note -- CreateStaff already
demands a live Instrument and nothing can create one -- so one kind satisfies
the ruling's acceptance criteria 1 and 3. Instrument holds no outbound entity
references, so the operation needs no referential preconditions at all, only
mint and idempotence.

Enumerating every CreateStaff site turned up two surfaces PLAN_GENESIS_OPS
under-counted: v0.rs's V0OperationKind and migrate.rs in both directions. The
table now lists fifteen, each anchored to its CreateStaff analogue, and all
twenty-two line citations were checked against the working tree.

It also turned up a gap the plan missed. TypedObjectId::Instrument liveness is
already seeded from the base, but there is no instrument_values map, so
byte-identical re-carry against a BASE instrument has nothing to compare. Pin 8
adds one mirroring staff_values at all six of its sites and calls out the
snapshot/restore pair as the silent one -- missing it surfaces only under
undo/replay, which is why i3 tests that case specifically.

Pinned against the traps this project keeps hitting: schema_major is
unconditionally 2 (Instrument's major-2 appends are mandatory, not
Option-hidden, so the value-dependent arm shape would be wrong); the accept-set
stays 2 and epiphany-bundle is untouched, since the raise belongs to G2 alone;
kind 31 and tag 31 coincide by accident, not by rule, and only the tag half is
compile-enforced; and the decode vector is pinned to literal bytes because
round-trip locking cannot see a self-consistent reorder.

Ten tests, each with the mutation that must kill it, plus an explicit note that
i6 documents a designed asymmetry rather than guarding a bug -- base-free
reduction skips referential preconditions because it has no universe to check
against, and a later reader must not "fix" it.

Levi Neuwirth a35f534235 Editor T4-pre W2: the glyph-asset contract, and three parallelism claims get finer
The W2 contract charters the shared typed glyph-asset seam Ruling A names as a
T4 prerequisite. Scoping it turned up the same shape W1 had: the seam is
already designed and merely unpopulated. PathCommand, GlyphRenderData, and
GlyphCatalog::render_data all exist in layout-ir, and BravuraCatalog returns
None by deliberate documented honesty -- reporting Some would claim render data
that does not exist. So the packet fills a seam rather than building one.

Two findings reshape it from the sketch carried in the W1 contract. Bravura.otf
is not in the tree -- tools/ holds only the extractor script and OFL.txt, and
the generated header pins source hashes verified at extraction time -- so
"have the generator emit typed paths alongside the d strings" cannot be
executed here. The contract replaces it with a dependency-free in-crate parser
over exactly the grammar the generator emits, and proves equivalence by
round-trip: parse every bundled d, re-emit, compare byte-for-byte, with a
sanctioned coordinate-sequence fallback that must be reported if used. And the
metrics table is conformance identity -- metrics_hash hashes (name, metrics)
pairs with values participating, and GlyphCatalogIdentity is encoded into the
resolved layout's canonical bytes -- so it is out of bounds entirely.

The test worth watching is the cross-table one. glyph.rs claims the metrics and
the outlines agree because both came from the same Bravura release; that is
asserted in prose and tested nowhere. The contract requires comparing each
glyph's real outline extent against its declared bbox, reporting the worst-case
deviation, and treating a failure as a finding rather than a reason to widen
the tolerance -- it would mean engraving reserves the wrong space for that
glyph, which is the bug class that twice bit the vertical metric.

Three parallelism claims are corrected in the same pass, all mine and all too
coarse. The plan and the ruling both said T1b's lease/save/single-writer
machinery could be contracted in parallel with the genesis work. That was
written before the ladder existed, and it is now per-rung rather than
unconditional: G1 needs no accept-set raise and never enters epiphany-bundle,
so T1b's bundle work runs beside it, while G2 spends the raise in bundle.rs
where T1b's single-writer enforcement also lands, so those two must not fly
together. Ruling B's blocker note also still described the identity disposition
as blocking; it is ruled, and now points at where.

Levi Neuwirth 439e1e2e14 Scope the genesis operation tranche: a ladder, and one very short first rung
The ruling names nine surfaces. Each op touches roughly thirteen places -- the
kind variant, four hand-written matches, the decode arm and its validation, the
reduction arm, both text-projection arms, validate, vectors, the fuzz
generators, and the catalog. Nine at thirteen is not one dispatch, so this plans
a ladder rather than a contract.

The load-bearing finding is that G1 is one operation. Score::empty gives
Canvas::default() and empty vectors, and the chain to a note is
CreateInstrument -> CreateStaff -> CreateRegion -> CreateStaffInstance ->
CreateVoice -> InsertEvent, of which only the first is missing. Every later
arrow already exists with graph-aware preconditions. So a single new kind
satisfies the ruling's acceptance criteria 1 and 3 and unblocks T1b.

It is also cheap. Instrument's major-2 appends are mandatory rather than
Option-hidden, so CreateInstrument is unconditionally born at major 2 -- exactly
where CreateStaff already sits, and the op-block accept-set is already 2. No
raise, no wire change. Checked every carried type's fields for the same
property: eight of the nine are major 0 or 2, and SetTuningContext alone drags
OperationEnvelopeBlock to 3, so the raise is spent once in G2, where S13 closes.

The tranche also designs no wire layouts. All nine carried types already have
Codec impls and already ship inside Score; CanonicalValue delegates to them
without introducing a layout, and its generated decode_canonical already
rejects non-canonical encodings, so each payload inherits strict-form
enforcement on the same seam the decode-vector corpus uses.

Traps recorded, including one that would bite quietly: OperationKind's
discriminant match is hand-written and is a DIFFERENT space from the
macro-guarded tag space -- they are not aligned, and Push 4a's four-green-lists
failure is why the tag half is a macro now. Also that bundle.rs documents the
accept-set cap with the tuning-context rationale in prose, so the comment must
move with the number.

Four questions need ratification before a G1 contract: delete/modify coverage
per family, the decomposition_attachments derived-not-authored call, the
measure/meter invariant, and the ladder shape itself.

All fifteen line citations verified against the working tree.

Levi Neuwirth ec17d06e77 The identity cursor is ruled, and three records stop contradicting each other
RULING_GENESIS_PERSISTENCE.md §3 was the tranche's stated blocker. Ruled:
identity stays on Score and stays canonically encoded, byte-equality claims
confine to MaterializedState, and from-empty reduction derives next_counter
from the log.

Scoping it turned up that the section understated the problem. Verified in the
tree: epiphany-ops has no `.identity` reference at all, so reduction never
advances the cursor; invariant 11 checks only the reserved replica, never the
counter against ids present; and every mint from score.identity today is under
cfg(test). Score::identity is an authoring cursor reduction never touches, and
this tranche is what activates the hazard -- under from-empty the cursor sits at
the seed while the log already holds that replica's ids at 0..N. Divergent bytes
were the lesser problem, and none of the three options originally listed fixed
the larger one.

The manifest option, previously recommended, is rejected on evidence:
req:format:manifest-id promises two conforming writers derive identical
ManifestIds, which a replica-scoped field in a shipped content-addressed
structure cannot honour. The two wire options each cost schema major 4 on the
role 3b-i just froze at 3, and neither corrects the cursor.

Also reconciles two records against 011c68a. DECISIONS.md flatly prohibited a
SetTuningContext operation, which the ruling now requires; the prohibition is
marked superseded and re-scoped to what it was aimed at -- no tuning-only fix,
no wire widening to compensate -- both of which still hold. PASS13-S13 moves
from blocked-on to resolved-by, naming which of the four dispositions was taken.

Flagged for the tranche, not fixed here: bundle.rs documents the
OperationEnvelopeBlock cap of 2 with the tuning-context rationale in prose, so
that comment becomes false when the cap moves.

Gate: requirement_labels 6/6. No .md here is include_str'd or compiled.

Levi Neuwirth 011c68a831 The operation set absorbs genesis
Ratified 2026-07-24, resolving Ruling B blocker (i). Pass-12 K8 is reversed:
every mutable field of Score becomes operation-authored, and a document is
Score::empty(identity) plus its envelope log. The instrument, staff, staff
instance, voice, event chain is authorable end to end.

The decision removes machinery rather than adding it. Every alternative kept
genesis outside the operation set and then had to pay for that: a new chunk
role, a manifest field, an immutability rule, and a merge or fail-closed rule
for a canonical payload with no CRDT semantics. Genesis state is edited —
instruments get added, page geometry changes, temperaments are chosen — and
each alternative made those edits single-writer, unmergeable, or impossible.
Concurrency is a first-order product commitment, so the exception was not
worth institutionalising in the format.

Scope is nine surfaces over two templates already proven in reduce.rs: three
LWW settings setters on the SetMetadata pattern (canvas.layout_defaults,
tuning_context, spelling_precedence) and six entity mint families on the
CreateStaff pattern (instruments, staff_groups, parts, analysis_layers, views,
and StaffInstance.measures), each with graph-aware referential preconditions.
Delete and modify coverage is left to the tranche contract rather than assumed,
since CreateStaff itself ships today with no DeleteStaff.

Measures are ruled authored rather than derived. TimeAnchor::Measure carries a
measure id that cross-cutting structures anchor to, so deriving measures from
the metric grid would make their identity a function of the meter and every
time-signature change would orphan the anchors pointing into them. The cost
accepted is that measure/meter consistency becomes an authoring obligation
backed by a graph invariant.

Three constraints are written in rather than left implicit. Pruning may not be
implemented until the canonical base carries graph values: a prune installs a
MaterializedState base whose effects are outcomes, not payloads, so nothing
rebuilds the score afterward — silent and total, and free to prohibit now
because no prune exists to break. The from-empty path must reduce through
new_onto with an empty Score rather than base-free, because the base-free mode
skips graph-aware preconditions by design and would silently lose referential
enforcement from the first operation. And the OperationEnvelopeBlock accept-set
raise 2 to 3 is spent once, so the new kinds land as one batch — this is a
different major from Push 4b's schema major 3, the Score and Snapshot role wire
that tranche 3b-i froze, and there is no free ride between them.

The analysis is corrected in place rather than rewritten, so the evidence the
ruling rests on stays readable. Two amendments: Measure is a ninth uncovered
surface the original table missed by scoring canvas.regions at container
granularity, and identity is promoted from a stated question to a blocking one
— IdentityContext is replica-scoped yet lives on Score and is encoded, so under
from-empty reduction two replicas with an identical log produce Scores
differing in an encoded field while the music is identical. That disposition
blocks specification of the tranche and is deliberately not ruled here.

Execution belongs to the Push-4b-class coordinated track; the editor track
consumes it. T1b's lease, save, and single-writer machinery does not depend on
the tranche landing and may be contracted in parallel.

Levi Neuwirth 962eab3ac5 Editor T4-pre: the IR readiness contract, and the genesis-persistence table
Two documents, both prerequisites rather than implementations.

CONTRACT_EDITOR_T4PRE_IR.md charters the layout-IR readiness tranche Ruling A
names as its prerequisite: per-system primitive ownership (W1), the shared
typed glyph-asset seam (W2, contracted but not dispatched), and the text-run
primitive decision (W3, an analysis packet). Its central finding reframes the
work — casting-off already computes the ownership partition and the fold into
ResolvedLayoutIR drops it on the floor, so W1 is "stop discarding it", exact
rather than heuristic. Eight design pins, six named mutations, and a
byte-neutrality gate that keeps the tranche compatible with the Push-4b
freeze.

The contract survived a source-level review that found one real defect: the
blast radius audited ResolvedLayoutIR literals but not ResolvedSystem's, and
pin 1 adds a field to both — editor-core's two-system hit-test fixture is a
full literal with no spread, so the packet could not compile the workspace
without it. Amended, along with the SystemId claim (no *production*
constructor; testkit's random cache generator has one), the stub solver's
total provenance aliasing, and the stroke-continuation citation.

ANALYSIS_GENESIS_PERSISTENCE.md is the field-by-field Score table Ruling B
blocker (i) requires before it can be resolved. It decides nothing; it
establishes what is true. Eight of Score's twenty fields have no operation
that can produce them — canvas.layout_defaults (the printed page geometry),
instruments, staff_groups, parts, tuning_context, spelling_precedence,
analysis_layers, views, plus identity — and decomposition_attachments can be
pruned but never authored. Each is reachable only through a base the reducer
is handed, and pruning is licensed to replace that base with a
MaterializedState carrying none of them.

Three findings follow: the genesis root is unreachable from an empty base
(CreateStaff preconditions a live instrument; nothing creates an instrument),
the canonical base cannot carry what the base-only fields hold, and there is
no canonical wire path from bundle bytes to a Score at all. They are one
problem from three sides — the format has no representation for graph state
that no operation authors.

Four dispositions are laid out with costs: a canonical genesis block, closing
the op-coverage gap, promoting the canonical base to carry graph values, or
scope-limiting T1b. The recommendation is the last now and the third as the
destination, because only that one makes pruning safe for every field rather
than for an enumerated list, and T4b needs the same checkpoint mechanism
regardless.

Levi Neuwirth 91d44dbe65 P13-S13 defers to the genesis-persistence ruling
Ratified 2026-07-24. S13 is re-pointed rather than resolved: the tuning context
is not a special case, it is field 10 of an eight-field gap that
spec/ANALYSIS_GENESIS_PERSISTENCE.md tables across the whole Score —
canvas.layout_defaults, instruments, staff_groups, parts, tuning_context,
spelling_precedence, analysis_layers, views, plus identity, with
decomposition_attachments prunable-but-never-authored. Each is reachable only
through a base the reducer is handed, and pruning is licensed to replace that
base with a MaterializedState carrying none of them.

Independently re-verified against the working tree before recording: every one
of those fields' sole reduce.rs mention is a read-only base-seed read, and
epiphany-ops has no tuning-context payload at all.

So the entry drops the operation-vs-canonical-base framing it was filed with.
That framing was right about the axis and wrong about the scope: it maps onto
the analysis's dispositions B and C at eight times the size, and a
tuning-specific fix is exactly the shape the analysis argues against — "any
option that enumerates fields must be re-audited against this table every time
a field is added to Score". S13 is now marked blocked-on rather than open, and
whichever disposition the genesis ruling picks resolves it as a side effect.

The accept-set cost this entry surfaced is kept, repositioned as evidence
against enumerated per-field fixes rather than as a tuning-only tradeoff:
blocks stamp minimally, and bundle.rs caps OperationEnvelopeBlock at major 2
precisely because no operation payload embeds the tuning context, so a
SetTuningContext-style operation would drag a role accept-set raise along with
the kind append — for one field of eight.

The wire layouts stay frozen and correct under every disposition. This was
never about how the tuning context encodes, only about which carrier embeds it,
so epiphany-core's DECISIONS entry now records the matching prohibition: no
SetTuningContext operation, and no widening of ScoreTuningContext's layout to
compensate.

Docs only; no code path touched. Gate unchanged: fmt clean, 1336 passed /
0 failed, requirement labels 6/6 at 212/282/282.

Levi Neuwirth 6d37f39826 Text-projection parity: smufl and overrides project, and a persistence gap surfaces
Schema major 3 put `smufl` and `overrides` on the binary wire and left the text
surface alone. This closes that: `TextValue for ScoreTuningContext` projects
five fields in `fn enc` order, with four new leaf impls (SmuflVersion,
SmuflVersionRequirement, TuningScope, TuningOverride) mirroring the four Codec
impls 3b-i froze.

The rule that moved them is the one this projection always followed — the text
projection is the same canonical surface the binary codec is. What changed was
not the rule but a premise: the old doc comment excluded all three fields
because "no schema major 3 has been opened", and 3b-i opened it.
`accidental_extensions` was staged out of that major and stays in-memory only,
so it is still correctly absent — the staging line now falls in the same place
on both surfaces, which is what the inverted tests assert.

No header-version bump and no document vector moved. This is a value-projection
change, not a document-format one: epiphany-textproj has no reference to a
tuning context anywhere, and the canonical base projects as a single opaque
byte atom (req:textproj:base-snapshot-inline), not structurally. So
req:textproj:header-version's sole accepted version (0 7 0) is untouched, all
13 document vectors are unchanged, and req:textproj:roundtrip was never
violated — the tuning context is not part of the projected document.

Both tests were renamed and inverted, following 3b-i's treatment of the binary
pair rather than rewriting the tranche-2/3a decision entries. Mutation-verified:
making `overrides` project as an always-empty vector — the exact regression this
fixes — fails both.

Two stale-pointer classes fixed, both of the kind this pass was hunting: the
comment in codec.rs naming the old text-test names and claiming the text
surface was unchanged; and ScoreTuningContext's per-field docs in graph.rs,
which still read "In memory only this tranche" for `smufl` and `overrides` —
stale since 3b-i, and contradicting the struct-level wire note they point at.
The struct-level doc was already correct.

Filed P13-S13, found while scoping and deliberately not fixed here: the tuning
context has NO canonical persistence path. Its only *persisted* carrier is the
acceleration snapshot, which Chapter 8 makes non-canonical and regenerable; no
canonical carrier embeds it at all. No operation authors it (the ops
vocabulary's only `tuning` references are the per-pitch TuningReference::Inherit)
and MaterializedState does not carry it. So a per-voice tuning override survives
a snapshot round-trip but cannot be authored, replicated, or merged, which makes
req:tuning:tuning-resolution-order's scopes 2-4 unreachable from any exchangeable
document. Not a regression — nothing ever worked; major 3 made the gap visible
by giving the value a wire form and no way to reach it.

The candidate prices both routes. Ratification is about the carrier, not the
encoding — the layouts are frozen and correct either way — but the operation
route is not quite the free schema-minor it first looks: blocks stamp minimally,
and bundle.rs caps OperationEnvelopeBlock at major 2 precisely because no
operation payload embeds the tuning context. An authoring operation carrying a
TuningOverride would stamp v3, dragging a role accept-set raise along with the
kind append.

Levi Neuwirth ca0dcee10c Editor T3: contract for the note-entry caret
The input-method-agnostic entry seam: session-local caret, naturals-only
letters with nearest-octave inference (downward tie-break), the pencil's
make-room semantics, the x_at_position forward map, and the testable core
of MIDI entry — the device listener stays T4.

Levi Neuwirth d96d79b8ba The decode vector corpus reaches the core score wire
The cross-implementation corpus (req:binfmt:decode-vectors) covered ops and
bundle but nothing from epiphany-core — the oldest and most load-bearing wire
in the repo had no vectors at all. 65 -> 93 vectors, 5 -> 19 surfaces.

This delivers a revision the companion had already ordered. binary_format.tex
asked for the corpus to extend to the representative layouts "which remain
round-trip locked rather than literal-byte locked" — a description, written in
advance, of the exact defect found in tranche 3b-i: swapping smufl and
overrides in BOTH halves of ScoreTuningContext's codec silently moved a
permanently frozen layout and passed all 1283 tests and 8/8 conformance. An
encoder and decoder that agree on the wrong order round-trip perfectly. Only
literal bytes can see it.

That mutation is now the mandatory regression vector
(core.score_tuning_context/overrides_before_smufl), and re-applying the swap
was verified to fail three ways: the corpus reports "declared reject, but was
ACCEPTED", the committed corpus goes stale, and the conformance suite fails.
Both the full workspace suite and conformance now catch what previously passed.

Almost no new machinery was needed: CanonicalValue was already public and
already did decode + finish() + re-encode + reject-on-mismatch, and already
covered four of the five representative layouts. RationalTime joins it (the
fifth, and the exemplar of the spec's own warning that an outer guard can mask
a lenient inner codec — it reduces to lowest terms on decode, so only
hand-written bytes reach that path), along with the five schema-major-3 types.
check() therefore calls real production API, not a harness-side wrapper: a
leaf reject vector exercises the code an external implementer must match.
Codec and Reader stay pub(crate); the only new public item is `pub mod
vectors`.

Two things deliberately shaped: core is appended LAST in the testkit chain, so
the regenerated corpus diff is purely additive — 56 insertions, 0 deletions,
which PROVES no existing vector's bytes moved and therefore that no existing
wire form changed. And the per-major Score vectors assert canonical_bytes()
equality only at major 3: majors 0-2 migrate by design, rewriting the bytes,
and their canonicality at their own major is already established by the frozen
per-major encoder's re-encode guard. Comparing there would fail on every
vector and invite "fixing" it by gutting the vector's meaning.

Also rebuilds binary_format.pdf, which commit 68b08ad should have carried and
did not — every other binary_format.tex commit includes it. The rebuild picks
up both that tranche's Schema Major 3 section and this one. latexmk -xelatex
twice: 0 errors, 0 undefined references, 60 pages.

Levi Neuwirth 56950f8d7c Push 4b: ji-adaptive-5limit resolves, and the blocker was never HarmonicContext
The last fail-closed entry in the built-in tuning catalog now resolves, leaving
only the compatibility-mapping registry open in Push 4b.

The recorded blocker was wrong. Five places in tuning.rs claimed adaptive
"needs HarmonicContext, which does not exist in Rust". But
req:tuning:adaptive-default-version makes version 1 a pure function of
(position, anchor pitch class) — it ignores concurrent, recent, hints,
parameters, and mode. And two of HarmonicContext's four specified fields are
UNIMPLEMENTABLE: key_context and hints are typed on KeyContext / ContextHint,
which core_spec.tex:4111 leaves undefined deliberately, "so defining them now
would freeze a type surface on a chapter with no consumer". The minimal
one-field shape was not a preference; it was the only implementable one. Each
remaining field arrives with the first function that consumes it.

The real blocker was structural and small: locate_voice returned
(RegionId, StaffId) while key_sequence lives on StaffInstance, so the resolver
threw away the only object that could answer "what key is prevailing here".

No new pitch math. ji_static_5limit_ratios already took a runtime anchor — the
three ji-static-5limit-{C,G,D} built-ins are that one function at anchors
0, 7, 2 — so adaptive v1 is that same call with a derived anchor. Verified as
an identity: adaptive at anchor 0 is bit-identical to ji-static-5limit-C and at
anchor 7 to ji-static-5limit-G, across all seven naturals.

A missing tonal centre is NOT an error. core_spec.tex:3452 mandates C
(chromatic position 0) when none is supplied, so that is a defined default, not
a fail-closed case; a test pins it against a future "fail closed" refactor.
Fail-closed applies to exactly two things: an unregistered
AdaptiveTuningFunctionId (hard error, no fallback) and a TimeAnchor that cannot
be unambiguously ordered against the onset (AnchorNotOrderable, naming the kind
that defeated it). If any KeySignatureChange in a sequence is unorderable the
whole derivation fails, rather than risk skipping the true prevailing signature.

Anchor arithmetic is (7 * fifths).rem_euclid(12), never %: fifths reaches -7 and
% yields a negative pitch class. ChromaticPitchClass is a checked 0..=11 newtype,
so the sign bug cannot degrade into a silently wrong anchor — under mutation it
panics outright. Verified by hand across the whole -7..=7 range, including the
enharmonic collisions (6 and -6 both F#/Gb = 6).

Nothing reaches the wire: TuningResolution is catalog-computed and appears in
neither codec.rs nor textvalue_graph.rs, so TuningResolution::Adaptive and
HarmonicContext are in-memory only and schema major 3 is untouched. Zero Codec
impls added; no vector or golden moved.

Gate: fmt clean, clippy 0, 1311 passed / 0 failed, doc 0, conformance 8/8,
requirement labels 6/6 at 212/282/282. Independently verified: the C default,
static systems ignoring context, statelessness across reordered resolution, and
the 0..=11 invariant. Two mutations killed — rem_euclid -> % and a silent
fallback for an unregistered id.

Levi Neuwirth 51f7ac9f61 Push 4b tranche 3b-ii: one SmuflVersion, and a live ordering bug dies with the homonym
Closes P13-S12. epiphany-layout-ir defined its own SmuflVersion storing the
minor LITERALLY ({1,4} for SMuFL 1.4), so derived Ord sorted 1.3 and 1.4
BEFORE 1.12 — backwards versus SMuFL's real release order — on a direct field
of GlyphCatalogIdentity, which is layout-conformance identity. That bug was
live. The crate graph fixes the direction: layout-ir depends on core, so
core's fraction-normalized minor_centi type is necessarily the survivor.
layout-ir deletes its own and re-exports core's, keeping
epiphany_layout_ir::SmuflVersion resolving for downstream at zero churn.

No wire change: no schema major, no Codec, no decode vector. LayoutCache is a
regenerable major-0 role. The one line that moves bytes is encode_catalog's
.minor -> .minor_centi (04 00 -> 28 00 at offset 2, verified by encoding a
default identity: 60 bytes, unchanged elsewhere).

The tranche also closes S12's OTHER half, which had gone unnoticed: the
ratified shape reached Rust and the binary companion but core_spec.tex never
defined SmuflVersion at all — the exact "undefined leaf" S12 was filed about.
It is now declared once, with the hundredths rule as normative prose and the
release table as a rationale note, cross-referenced from both Chapter 9 sites
so the glyph catalog's version and the tuning context's are visibly one type.
No new req: label; counts stay 212/282/282.

Two ledger claims corrected, both verified false before dispatch rather than
after: PASS13_CANDIDATES.md's S12 entry and epiphany-core/DECISIONS.md's S12
bullet both promised this move would land "with golden regen". Nothing is
pinned to the catalog identity — every ResolvedLayoutIR::canonical_bytes()
assertion is RELATIVE (stability, determinism, and a sensitivity check that
mutates metrics_hash, never smufl_version), and the committed SVG/PNG goldens
embed no identity, only a fixed comment string. There was nothing to
regenerate, and conformance gate [9] never moved.

The fix is locked by a test that names the bug: layout-ir asserts the real
release order through GlyphCatalogIdentity.smufl_version. Mutation-verified
independently by making from_decimal store one-digit minors literally — it
fails with "minor_centi: 20 did not sort before minor_centi: 3", which is
precisely the deleted type's behaviour.

Levi Neuwirth 68b08adb5e Push 4b tranche 3b-i: the score wire opens schema major 3
ScoreTuningContext gains `smufl` and `overrides` on the canonical wire.
`accidental_extensions` is deliberately STAGED to a later major: under
req:binfmt:frozen-layout a field addition is a major, so freezing a large
subtree whose consumer (the engraver) does not exist yet buys nothing and
risks a major-4 to fix a mis-shaped field. The three shapes 3a ratified
(Cents/CanonicalF64, AnchorPoint, SmuflVersion) stay reversible until
something exercises them.

Scope discovery: no operation payload embeds the tuning context, anywhere.
So the wire reached is the acceleration full-Score snapshot ONLY — the
canonical operation layer is untouched, no payload is born at v3, no frozen
v2 op-payload decoder is needed, and OperationEnvelopeBlock's accept-set
stays at 2 while Snapshot rises to 3. Major 3 is the first data-model bump
under which a chunk role's max does not move in lockstep. The canonical
base embeds no tuning context and stays major 0, byte-identical.

Migration: the live codec becomes v3; the 3-field form is frozen as
enc/dec_tuning_context_v2 and consumed by decode_v2_score (new, with its
byte-exact inverse encode_v2_score) and by the v0/v1 decoders — AND by
encode_v0_score/encode_v1_score, which the contract missed and which would
have silently corrupted the frozen forms through the strict-canonicality
re-encode check.

The frozen bytes are now pinned by a golden, because nothing else pinned
them. The cross-implementation decode corpus covers only the operation and
bundle surfaces — there is no epiphany-core vectors module — so every
existing test round-trips enc against dec and stays green under a
SELF-CONSISTENT reordering: swapping smufl and overrides in both halves
passed the entire workspace suite and 8/8 conformance, silently moving a
permanently frozen layout. schema_major_3_tuning_context_wire_bytes_are_frozen
asserts the exact encoding of the default (48 B) and a loaded (82 B)
context; it kills that swap. The S12 normalization is visible in the
literal: 1.4 stores minor_centi 40 (0x28), 1.12 stores 12.

Gate: fmt clean, clippy 0, 1282 passed / 0 failed, doc 0, conformance 8/8,
requirement labels 6/6 at 212/282/282 (unchanged — no new req: labels).
Mutations verified independently: breaking the v0 reroute kills 6 tests;
the wire-order swap kills the new golden.

Levi Neuwirth 6c9d84f6f6 Push 4b tranche 3a: contract for the accidental vocabulary, and S10-S12 filed
Tranche 3 completes ScoreTuningContext onto the wire -- schema major 3, the only
irreversible tranche. Split reversible-first: 3a builds the accidental / glyph /
engraving type surface in memory with a real consumer (so the shapes are
exercised while free to change), 3b freezes them. 3a adds no Codec, no wire
movement; the hand codec keeps encoding exactly three wire fields while
accidental_extensions and smufl join overrides as in-memory-only.

Scoping the subtree surfaced three types that freeze forever and the spec does
not pin -- filed as S10-S12, ratified before dispatch (the S5/S7-before-tranche-1
pattern):

- S10: PitchSpaceModification::Cents(f64) is a raw f64 in canonical state, which
  the byte layer cannot encode -- serialize.rs decodes floats only through
  CanonicalF64::from_le_bytes. Ratified Cents(CanonicalF64), the same maneuver
  Ruling D applied to the bounding box.
- S11: AnchorPoint is referenced (:3166) and defined nowhere; core cannot depend
  on layout-ir. Ratified core-native { x, y: SpaceUnit } plus a normative frame
  sentence, since the box it anchors is "relative to the glyph's anchor point".
- S12: the catch. SmuflVersion is NOT undefined -- it exists in layout-ir with
  LITERAL minor ({1,4}) and derived Ord, so 1.3 sorts before 1.12 today, and it
  is a field of GlyphCatalogIdentity (conformance identity). Ratified
  fraction-normalized minor_centi (1.4 -> 40); core defines it in 3a, and 3b
  unifies layout-ir onto it and moves GlyphCatalogIdentity deliberately.

Every citation and struct line-ref verified against core_spec.tex before commit.

Levi Neuwirth e06b7e6f28 Push 4b tranche 2b: contract for the ten historical temperaments
Makes the ten temperaments deferred by tranche 2 resolve, via
TuningResolution::Function with reserved built-in ids, each computed from its
construction (which fifths tempered, by what fraction of which comma) rather
than a pasted cents table -- the constructions are normative in core_spec.tex
as of 5e465a1.

Its own pass, separate from the resolver plumbing, because this is the
verify-heavy part: the S6 draft shipped two arithmetically impossible
temperaments and one false ambiguity, every one properly cited, caught only by
the closure invariant. So the contract's deliverable is the closure recomputed
in code -- the six circulating temperaments' temperings summing to one
Pythagorean comma, the four non-circulating ones' wolves matching the ratified
residue -- and two construction-level mutations required to prove it bites:
dropping Kirnberger's schisma fifth (the classic omission) and swapping
Werckmeister's Pythagorean comma for syntonic (the classic confusion). The comma
type is the load-bearing distinction no test outside the closure check can see.

Verified before dispatch: all three cited labels resolve, every line ref points
where claimed, and the closure arithmetic checked independently -- syntonic +
schisma = Pythagorean exactly, which is why Kirnberger closes and why omitting
the schisma lands one schisma short.

Levi Neuwirth b0acacb951 Push 4b tranche 2: contract for the in-memory tuning resolver
The reversible half of the remaining tuning work: make tuning resolvable --
(position, tuning system, reference) -> frequency, walking the five resolution
scopes -- entirely in memory, no Codec, canonical bytes byte-identical. The
schema-major-3 wire bump is a separate later tranche, so the resolution logic is
exercised and proven before anything freezes, the same slice discipline tranche
1 used.

Scope is nine of twenty systems: the six tet-* (EqualTemperament) and the three
ji-static-5limit-* (PerPositionRatios computed from the lattice block, not a
pasted table). The ten historical temperaments are tranche 2b -- their own
verify-heavy pass, because that is where S6's two impossible-but-cited
temperaments hid and the code re-derivation deserves the same closure-invariant
scrutiny. ji-adaptive-5limit and the compatibility-mapping registry are deferred
fail-closed, matching the established honest-gap pattern (user ratified both).

Names the struct_codec! trap concretely: adding an in-memory `overrides` field
to ScoreTuningContext breaks the macro (its dec constructs a literal of exactly
the named fields), so the contract requires a hand-written Codec that encodes
the three wire fields and defaults overrides -- with a round-trip test proving
overrides never reaches the wire.

Citations verified line-by-line before dispatch; two were wrong on first draft
(tuning-resolution-order and -compatibility cited by the numbers of unrelated
requirements, one left hedged) and are fixed -- P13-S9's own discipline applied
to the contract that cites P13-S9.

Levi Neuwirth 4a2ee312f7 Push 4b tranche 1: contract for the pitch-space slice
Types, the catalog data that fills them, and the consumer that reads them --
dispatched as one vertical slice rather than the plan's three steps. A Chapter 4
type surface with no consumer is the shape that produced Staff::default_clef and
NOTEHEAD_ANCHORS, so the acceptance test is behavioural: a cmn-24 pitch
transposes end-to-end.

Six of the thirteen built-in pitch spaces are underdetermined by the
specification -- the three ji-* generators and all three of maqam-base,
gamelan-slendro and gamelan-pelog. The contract requires they be represented as
unresolved and reported, never inferred.

Writing it also caught an incomplete paraphrase of
req:tuning:diatonic-chromatic-mapping in the contract's own text: it has three
clauses, not two, and both built-in mappings satisfy all three -- so a
constructor enforcing only the first two would pass every test built from the
catalog. That is P13-S9's discipline applied to the contract that cites it.

Levi Neuwirth 600cc31be4 Pass 13: five ledger movements, one of them a repair to the ledger itself
S5 and S6 close, which closes the spec half of Push 4b: the JI basis is
full-register (a JiVector is an absolute position -- without the prime-2
exponent, ji-5limit cannot tell C4 from C5), and all twenty tuning systems now
carry constructions rather than names.

S7 is filed retroactively. Its id was minted in PLAN_PUSH4B_TUNING.md marked
"new; file it", ratified as that plan's Ruling C, and implemented in Wave 1a --
but it never entered this ledger, so an id lived outside the index whose whole
job is to be the index. The candidate itself: the specification required every
score to *define* a pitch space, and the data model gives a score no way to do
it. Both "define"s are now "select".

S8 is new and was measured, not argued. TempoShape::Constant legalizes
end_tempo as None *or* equal to start_tempo -- two spellings of one musical
fact -- and TempoSegment encodes the field positionally into canonical state.
Encoding both forms of an otherwise identical score gives 336 bytes and 363.
Nothing normalizes; invariants.rs merely permits both. Everywhere else this
project looked at redundant encodings it ruled the other way: NFC for text, a
total order for collections. Tempo got no equivalent, so two musically
identical scores hash differently. Found sideways -- the branch is untested,
which is why the map_or rewrite could not be mutation-verified there.

S9 is the pattern behind three failures in one day: the citation checker
proves cited-to-defined and never cited-to-relevant, so a citation that
resolves cleanly while supporting nothing passes a fully green gate. An agent
justified "resolved layout is non-canonical" with a requirement about f32; a
dispatch contract of mine put KeySignature in Chapter 10 when the Score Graph
is Chapter 5. And S4 is itself an instance, which is what turned this from
incident into candidate.

The asymmetry is the dangerous part and is recorded with it: a dangling
citation is loud, a wrong one is silent, so repairing the loud kind without
reading the target converts a caught defect into an uncaught one. That is
exactly how S4 happened.

Every line citation in the new entries was re-read against its target before
filing, S9's own discipline applied to S9.

Levi Neuwirth 5e465a1067 P13-S6: all twenty tuning systems now say what they mean
Ten temperaments and the static 5-limit construction were bare names in a
catalog whose own requirement calls the surrounding semantics normative.
They now carry generative rules: which fifths are tempered, by what fraction
of which comma, where the wolf sits when the construction does not force it,
exact ratios, and the closure sum that lets a reader check the whole thing
without leaving the page.

The comma distinction is the load-bearing part and no test in this repo can
see it. Pythagorean for pythagorean, werckmeister-iii and -iv, vallotti and
young-ii; syntonic for the three meantones and both Kirnberger sets, each of
which also carries the schisma-tempered F-sharp--D-flat closing fifth whose
absence made two of these temperaments arithmetically impossible in the first
draft. Verified by recomputation rather than by re-reading: 2 x 10.753 +
1.9537 and 4 x 5.377 + 1.9537 both land on 23.4600 cents exactly.

ji-adaptive-5limit gets version 1 as the key-anchored static scale, identity
"default-v1" with the version inside the machine-visible string, hard error on
anything unregistered. The anchor derivation is pinned to (7 * fifths) mod 12
off the prevailing key signature -- and pinned twice over, because
key_sequence is per-staff and time-anchored, so the staff and the moment both
had to be named or two conforming implementations would disagree on a
modulating score.

The Forward References block stops claiming KeyContext is partially defined
somewhere it is not. It is defined nowhere, stays out of scope, and now
carries the one obligation that matters: whatever completes it must expose a
tonal-centre pitch class the anchor rule can use.

Three new requirements, 209 -> 212. Verified independently of the agent that
did the work: the count by grep, the count constant by mutation, the ten
comma types against the draft, the twelve lattice ratios against a generator,
and the ten deleted lines against the four sites they were supposed to come
from.

Closes P13-S6.

Levi Neuwirth 80193855bb P13-S6 ratified: the lattice block, and an argument that did not survive arithmetic
All four open ratifications are decided, and the draft is corrected at both
places where it would have misled the agent that reads it next.

The 12-note 5-limit scale is the contiguous lattice block {3^a 5^b | a in
[-1,2], b in [-1,1]}, octave-reduced and assigned in ascending order from the
anchor. The draft called this one "asymmetric" and offered it third; that name
is an artifact of describing it as a 5x3 grid minus three discarded cells.
Generated from its bounds it discards nothing, fills all twelve chromatic
positions exactly once, and states in one sentence -- which is the property
Ruling B exists to get. The name is now banned normatively.

Two of the three candidates fell to computation rather than preference.
"Symmetric scale 2" makes G-D a 40/27 wolf, so a scale the catalog calls
"anchored to C tonic" would have an unusable dominant. And the draft's own
argument for "symmetric scale 1" -- that its D and Bb match C-based
Pythagorean and quarter-comma meantone -- is false: meantone's are 193.157
and 1006.843 cents, each half a syntonic comma away. It can only hold of
circle-of-fifths position, and even then covers 2 notes of 12 while the other
ten shift a comma between systems. Struck at its site and at the head of the
file, with the numbers, so it cannot be quietly reinstated.

The block also wins on merit: 23 pure intervals of 36 against 22 and 21, and
it gains pure Eb major and G minor for the price of Bb minor.

The three ji-static identifiers are one construction at three anchors -- which
the catalog already said, in the same phrase three times, more strongly than
the vallotti/young-ii naming parallel the draft reasoned from.

ji-adaptive-5limit version 1 is the key-anchored static scale, identity
"default-v1" with the version inside the string. Checking the prerequisite
turned up why that is affordable: KeyContext is not defined anywhere and the
spec puts its completion out of scope, but KeySignature { fifths } already
exists, is canonical, and is encoded -- so the anchor is (7 * fifths) mod 12
today, mode-blind exactly as ruled. C, G and D are fifths 0, 1 and 2; the
catalog's three anchors were never arbitrary.

Levi Neuwirth 986b90aef3 P13-S6: the tuning constructions, drafted -- and why sourcing was not enough
`req:tuning:builtin-tuning-catalog` MUST-resolves 20 tuning identifiers while
specifying only the six `tet-*`. Ruling B keeps all 20 and pins them by
**construction** rather than by cents table, because published sources agree on
constructions and differ mainly in rounding. This lands the draft of the other
14 as a **non-normative** artifact for review; nothing enters `core_spec.tex`
until the four open ratifications are decided.

Drafting rather than editing was deliberate, and it earned its keep. An agent
writing Werckmeister III from memory into a normative document is the
`NOTEHEAD_ANCHORS` failure exactly: hand-written, authoritative-looking,
unverifiable in-tree, and load-bearing.

**The first draft was well-sourced and wrong.** Ten entries, ten live citations,
zero recalled, zero unknown -- and three of them could not exist. A twelve-fifth
circle must absorb exactly one Pythagorean comma (23.4600 c). Checked:

  kirnberger-ii   2 x 1/2 syntonic, "remaining ten pure"  -> 21.5063 c
  kirnberger-iii  4 x 1/4 syntonic, "remaining eight pure" -> 21.5063 c

Both short by 1.9537 c -- exactly one schisma, the signature of a dropped
schisma-tempered fifth. The draft said of the first, in terms, "This closes the
circle." It does not. And `werckmeister-iii` carried the syntonic-vs-Pythagorean
comma forward as a "genuinely ambiguous" hedge into its summary table, when
closure settles it: only the Pythagorean reading closes, and a well temperament
that does not close is not one.

The supporting reasoning had been *correct* -- the derivation that C-E, G-B and
D-F# come out pure is right. The error was inferring from it that every
remaining fifth is pure. Making those thirds just does not discharge the full
comma. That is precisely the failure a citation count cannot detect and an
invariant catches in one line.

**Corrected and re-verified by recomputation, not by re-reading.** All six
circulating temperaments now close to exactly 23.4600 c; all four
non-circulating residues reproduce independently (`pythagorean` 678.495 c;
meantone 1/4, 1/5, 1/6 wolves 737.637 / 725.809 / 717.923 c). The schisma fifth
is sourced at F#-Db, and Kirnberger III's four fifths are now a direct quotation
rather than a reconstruction.

**The best result is a disagreement.** Recomputing Kirnberger II's thirds from
its own chain, the agent found its new source's prose claims four pure thirds
where the construction yields three -- F-A comes out at 397.067 c, not 386.314.
It reported the conflict instead of deferring to the source or dropping it.
Independently confirmed to the cent.

The count is still 10 verified / 0 recalled / 0 unknown, but `verified` now
means sourced **and** invariant-checked. The number did not move; its meaning
did. A stable metric hiding a changed reality is this session's recurring lesson
in another costume.

`CONTRACT_P13S6_TEMPERAMENTS.md` gains a permanent section, "Check the
arithmetic, not just the source", stating the general principle first so it
transfers: a citation proves the source said it, not that it is right, that you
read it correctly, or that you transcribed it completely. Five obligations --
closure; closure as a decision procedure for vague sources; non-circulating
temperaments must *not* close, with the wolf computed; twelve fifths each
exactly once; recompute every derived claim and treat disagreement as a finding.
Plus the guard that matters most: never adjust a construction to make the
arithmetic work and present it as sourced -- that manufactures a temperament
nobody published. An unresolved entry is the correct output.

Still open, surfaced not decided: the three `ji-static-5limit-*` scales and
`ji-adaptive-5limit`'s algorithm, the latter recommended to follow
`req:pitch:spelling-algorithm`'s versioned-identifier pattern.

Levi Neuwirth 5dcaa58fd0 Push 4b Wave 1a: three ratified corrections, and a citation that pointed the wrong way
Scoping Push 4b turned up three Chapter 4 defects and four rulings; this lands
the spec half of the first three. `PLAN_PUSH4B_TUNING.md` carries the full
scoping and all four rulings.

**P13-S5, Ruling A -- full register.** `req:pitch:ji-vector-basis` says the
built-in JI spaces order primes ascending *starting with 2* and that
`components.len()` MUST equal the basis size; the catalog table called
`ji-5limit` "Two-dimensional (prime axes 3, 5)", `ji-7limit` three- and
`ji-11limit` four-dimensional -- each exactly one short, the table being
octave-reduced and the requirement full-register. The table moves, the
requirement does not: a `JiVector` is an absolute position, and without the
prime-2 exponent `ji-5limit` cannot distinguish C4 from C5. Each row now states
its basis explicitly so two readers cannot derive different ones.

**P13-S7, Ruling C -- a score selects, it does not define.** `ScalePosition`
pointed at "the score's pitch-space registry", which does not exist: `Score` has
thirteen fields and none is one, and `ScoreTuningContext` carries ids and
accidental extensions, never definitions. So `req:pitch:default-pitch-space`'s
"MUST define / MAY define" was unsatisfiable except by reading define as select.
The requirement moves to *select*, the comment names the built-in catalog, and
score-local definition is recorded as a deferred major with its reason: the
Chapter 4 type surface has never had a consumer, and freezing ~20
never-constructed types under `req:binfmt:frozen-layout` is permanent.

**Ruling D -- `AccidentalEngraving` could not be canonical.** It borrowed
Chapter 7's `BoundingBox`, built on `StaffSpace(f32)` -- correct for the
non-canonical resolved-layout cache, but this field hangs off
`ScoreTuningContext`, which *is* canonical, and
`req:determinism:canonical-floating-point` requires canonical stored floats to
be binary64. Chapter 4 now has `EngravingBoundingBox` over `SpaceUnit`, the type
`advance_width` already used. Chapter 7's `BoundingBox` is untouched.

That defect only surfaced because the first scoping was wrong and got checked.
It claimed `GlyphReference` and `BoundingBox` "exist but live in
epiphany-layout-ir" and recommended moving them down. They are **homonyms**:
Chapter 4's `GlyphReference` is `enum { Smufl(u32), Custom, Composite }`;
layout-ir's is `struct GlyphReference(Cow<'static, str>)`, a glyph *name*. A
move would have relocated the wrong types. The plan is corrected and there is no
crate move.

**Review finding.** The rationale as first written read "Resolved layout is
non-canonical (Requirement req:layoutir:staff-space-coordinates)". That
requirement mandates staff-space units and single precision and says nothing
about canonicality -- a true sentence resting on the wrong authority, the P13-S4
pattern again. No labelled requirement asserts resolved-layout non-canonicality;
it is prose in the Binary Format companion. Each claim now rests on its real
source.

`requirement_labels.rs` is untouched: no requirement was added or removed, so
209/279/279 held, which was the contract's invariant against scope creep. The
checker cannot catch a citation that resolves but does not support its sentence
-- it enforces cited-to-defined, not cited-to-relevant. Second instance today.

Levi Neuwirth b3449256f9 P13-S5 and P13-S6: the two inherited claims were both true
`epiphany-core/DECISIONS.md` had carried two Push-4a audit claims as
**unverified** through two passes, with the standing note that they "should be
checked, not inherited". Checked. Both are real, and both are Chapter 4 defects
standing in front of Push 4b rather than inside it -- which is the point of
checking before scoping, not after.

**P13-S5 -- the JI prime basis is specified at two lengths.**
`req:pitch:ji-vector-basis` says the built-in JI spaces order primes ascending
*starting with 2*, and that `components.len()` MUST equal the basis size. The
built-in pitch-space table calls `ji-5limit` "Two-dimensional (prime axes 3,
5)", `ji-7limit` three-dimensional, `ji-11limit` four-dimensional -- each
exactly one short, consistently, because the table is octave-reduced and the
requirement is full-register. `req:tuning:builtin-tuning-catalog` makes the
table normative, so a 5-limit vector is required to be both length 2 and length
3. The requirement's own octave-reduction clause does not reconcile them: it
normalizes the first component to a canonical range, it does not remove it.
Same family as P13-S2 and P13-I1, and cheaper -- a one-side edit once ratified.

**P13-S6 -- no built-in tuning system's resolution is pinned to a versioned
definition, and 14 of 20 have no definition at all.** The claim as inherited
("the named historical tunings lack exact deterministic ratio data") understates
it. It is not a missing table: `TuningResolution::Function` delegates the
historical temperaments to a `TuningFunctionId`, which Chapter 10 lists as an
*extension point*, and no built-in is mapped to a function id nor any function
id pinned. Only the six `tet-*` entries are actually specified, by
`EqualTemperament`'s structural rule. The other 14 are names: three meantone
variants, `werckmeister-iii`/`iv`, `vallotti`, `kirnberger-ii`/`iii`,
`young-ii`, `pythagorean` (the 3:2 ratio is named, the fifth-chain construction
and wolf placement are not), three `ji-static-5limit-*`, and
`ji-adaptive-5limit`. Set against `req:tuning:tuning-resolution-determinism`,
which requires determinism *across platforms*, two conforming implementations
may each choose a different published Werckmeister III and both pass -- in a
project that runs a cross-implementation conformance step.

The fix pattern is already in-house and was found by looking for it:
`req:pitch:spelling-algorithm` pins `SpellingAlgorithmId "default"` at version 1
to a named algorithm and errors on any other identifier. Nothing equivalent
exists for tuning. Which published variant each built-in denotes is a
ratification question, not an implementation one.

Both are filed open in the Batch-3 ledger. Neither was needed for 4a; both are
load-bearing for 4b, whose whole job is resolving a scale position to a
frequency.

Levi Neuwirth e7ebd8ac9c P13-S2: the alteration is space-relative, and the core fails closed
`cmn-24` was declared in the built-in pitch-space table as "CMN extended with
24-EDO quarter-tone accidentals" while Chapter 2 fixed a `Cmn` position's
absolute semitone at `nominal.chromatic() + alteration + 12*octave` for every
space, unqualified. Two ratified MUSTs, each correct in its own chapter,
jointly unsatisfiable -- P13-I1's two-listings drift in another costume.

The tracker parked this as "a data-model major". It is not.
`req:binfmt:frozen-layout` names `PitchSpacePosition` as one of four open
value-layer vocabularies, so three of the four available options cost no schema
event at all. The one that *is* a major -- regrading `alteration` onto a finer
fixed unit -- is also the only one that rewrites the canonical bytes of every
pitch ever authored, and it buys a single grid while `edo-31`/`53`/`72` stay
unrepresentable. It is explicitly ruled out.

Ratified instead: a `Cmn` alteration and a `CmnChromatic` modification are
denominated in steps of the enclosing pitch space's chromatic layer. One rule,
not a special case for one catalog row -- it settles `cmn-24`, `maqam-base`,
and `PitchSpaceModification::CmnChromatic` together. `cmn-12`'s step is the
semitone, so every score in existence keeps its meaning and **not one canonical
byte moves**; `canonical_pitch_bytes` writes the space id before the position,
so a `cmn-24` E-half-flat and a `cmn-12` E-flat already derive different
`PitchId`s.

The defect was larger than `cmn-24`. Nothing bound a `Cmn` position to a
12-chromatic space: `ScalePosition { space: "edo-31", position: Cmn { .. } }`
constructed, validated, encoded and transposed, and meant nothing. Neither
`Pitch::transposed` nor `twelve_tet_semitone` ever read the space. Until Push
4b resolves `PitchSpaceId` to a `DiatonicOverChromatic` structure, both now
fail closed outside provable built-in `cmn-12` -- a capability check, not a
claim that the identifier defines the structure. False refusal for a
score-defined 12-chromatic space is accepted over silently wrong arithmetic.

No wire change. `TransposeRefusal::PitchSpaceUnavailable` is a new *diagnostic*
mapping to the existing `PreconditionFailureReason::PitchSpaceMismatch` (6);
appending a discriminant for a guard Push 4b must delete would have reserved a
permanent wire value for a temporary mechanism, in exactly the artifact the
fail-closed ruling exists to protect. Assignments 10-15 are untouched.
Operation Catalog 0.9.0 records the broadened case *and* amends the 0.8.0
rationale, which asserted that discriminant 6 never consults a pitch-space
registry -- true of the non-`Cmn` check, false of this one.

Two spec-side fixes found in review, neither visible to any test: the
`TranspositionInterval` listing had lost its `pub chromatic_steps: i32,`
declaration to a comment rewrite, leaving a one-field struct above the sentence
"Both components are load-bearing"; and `pitch.rs` still documented
`alteration` as "in semitones", contradicting the requirement landing beside
it. Both new requirements are now cited from the code that implements them --
the label checker catches cited-but-undefined, not the reverse.

Push 4b keeps the registry work and loses the contradiction. P13-S4 is the last
item open in Batch 3.

Levi Neuwirth 043c18cabf P13-S1: every requirement is named, and now it is also numbered
168 of core_spec's 207 requirement blocks carried no `\label`, so no conformance
claim could cite them. All 207 are labelled now; the suite is 277/277.

Labelling alone would not have delivered a citable requirement. **No document in
the suite numbered its requirements.** `\newtcolorbox{requirement}` had no
counter, so a `\label` inside one bound to the enclosing sectioning unit and
`\ref` rendered a *section* number: core_spec said "see Requirement 2.5.4" where
2.5.4 is a subsubsection, and 61 of its 207 requirements shared a rendered number
with another -- one number, 5.6.3, was shared by six. Adding 168 labels to that
scheme would have produced 168 citable-but-ambiguous references. All six documents
now carry a real counter, numbered within chapter, and the box title shows it, so
a reader can see which requirement they are looking at. 277 labels, zero
collisions.

The counter is stepped with a `code=` key rather than tcolorbox's own
`auto counter`, and that is not a style choice. `auto counter` steps its counter
for `\label` purposes inside an internal `\sbox`, and `\refstepcounter`'s effect
on `\@currentlabel` is a local assignment discarded when that box closes --
before a `\label` written in the box body ever runs, which is how every
requirement in this suite is labelled. Measured on a three-box test document:
titles rendered `1.1 1.2 1.3` while the three refs resolved to `1.1 1.1 1.2`. The
idiomatic form would have shipped 207 silently wrong cross-references under
correct-looking numbers.

`requirement_labels.rs` locks all of it: every requirement block in every
`spec/*.tex` carries a label; labels match `req:<area>:<slug>`; the area matches
the chapter; labels are unique suite-wide; no `req:*` string cited anywhere in the
repository is undefined; and the counter is stepped where the label can see it --
a regression lock, because reverting to `auto counter` leaves every other check
green while the references break.

The citation check needed an escape. It cannot tell "cite this requirement" from
"name a label that does not exist", and documenting a dangling label is a
legitimate thing to do -- it had already rewritten a scoping plan's prose into a
euphemism to make itself pass. `DISCUSSED_NOT_CITED` carries the one such string
with its reason.

That string was the pass's other finding. `req:layoutir:vertical-bands` was cited
twice in the Pass-12 log and never existed. It should not be repointed at the two
*ownership* requirements: those govern which band a primitive belongs to, while
both entries describe the inter-staff solve realizing a band's declared *height*,
which no requirement governs at all. That is why the log invented a name. Both
citations now say so, and the gap is filed as P13-S4 -- shipped behaviour with no
governing requirement.

Levi Neuwirth a9a57120e9 Text Projection: whole-document conformance, and a corpus with teeth
Thirteen drift-locked document vectors -- four accept, nine reject, one per
implemented rejection class -- gated as conformance step [7e] beside [7d]'s 65
decode vectors.

The checker distinguishes three outcomes, and that distinction is the whole
point. `Rejected`, `AcceptedCanonical`, and `AcceptedNonCanonical` are separate
verdicts, and every one of the four wrong pairings is a failure: an accept vector
that merely normalizes fails, and a reject vector that is accepted -- whether as
canonical or after normalization -- fails. The decode corpus learned this the
expensive way, where collapsing "rejected" with "accepted but normalized" let a
corpus pass against the exact decoders it was written to catch.

Accept vectors assert the byte-checkable equation `project(serialize(parse(T)))
== T`, which quantifies over TEXTS. The comments say plainly that it must not be
replaced with bundle identity, and name the three deliberate binary losses --
duplicate blobs collapsing under derived-ordering, regenerated physical layout,
and dropped accelerators -- so the next reader does not "fix" it into a bundle
comparison and then chase a phantom.

Reach is asserted exactly, not merely non-zero: two documents each carrying an
extension, a canonical base, a custom profile, a lineage, and more than one
envelope; and every reject class must have exactly one vector the parser really
refused. A mislabelled reject drops its class to zero rather than collecting
credit from its label.

The corpus was verified by breaking the implementation, not the checker: making
`parse_document` silently tolerate a missing trailing LF is caught three ways,
and the suite reports "declared reject, but was ACCEPTED and normalized".

Review fixed one defect in the semantic harness. It claimed to check
`semantics(parse(project(B))) == semantics(B)` but compared `parse(project(B))`
against `document_from_bundle(B)` -- and `project_bundle` *is*
`project_text_document(document_from_bundle(..))`, so both sides flowed through
one function and any bug in it cancelled out. Dropping an envelope there passed.
It now compares against the envelopes the test itself serialized in, which is
independent of the projection path; the same mutation fails.

Levi Neuwirth 244bd6bd96 Text Projection: the document layer, and the equation closes
`epiphany-textproj` projects a bundle to its canonical text and reads it back:
the header, identity, profile, extension, canonical-base and blob productions,
plus the pipeline that joins them to the operation layer already in place.

Free functions, not `TextValue` impls. `epiphany-bundle` does not depend on
`epiphany-core`, so the trait and the manifest types are both foreign to this
crate and the orphan rule forbids the impls. That looked like it would force a new
dependency edge until the productions were read properly: no document line
contains a `value` position, so none is needed. The bundle stays independent of
the music model, as designed.

Blobs are handled on both sides and neither is the obvious one. The emit side
filters `blob_roots` through a real reachability predicate that today provably
returns empty -- never the field wholesale, which is the plausible wrong answer.
The parse side rejects any blob line outright, while still parsing the production
in isolation so both halves are ready together. A trip-wire source-scans
epiphany-core and epiphany-ops for `BlobId` and names both obligations when it
fires; it asserts it actually scanned files, so it cannot pass vacuously.

Two rejections were added on the agents' own reading of the spec rather than the
brief, and both are right. Envelopes must already be in canonical reduction order
(text_projection.tex:458) -- without that, two texts differing only in envelope
order would denote one document. And a hand-built `TextDocument` carrying blobs is
refused rather than silently dropped, since serializing it would produce a bundle
whose next projection loses those bytes.

Section order is enforced as a sequence, not a set: a repeated or out-of-order
section is a rejection, never something the parser sorts back into place.
`derived-ordering` sorts and de-duplicates blob lines and extension chunk roots by
*rendered* form, proved against fixtures that are unsorted in memory rather than
already canonical -- the blind spot that let five outbound normalizations ship
untested in the operation layer.

Serialization stages payloads and lets `commit` assign every offset, hash and
chunk id, which is exactly what `req:textproj:derive-or-carry` assumes; nothing is
hashed by hand. The emitted bundle deliberately carries no accelerators.

And the three directions compose: `project(serialize(parse(T))) == T` holds
end-to-end over the companion's own worked example. Eight checks re-mutated
independently of the agents' reports, each killed by its own named test; all eight
document productions diffed against the grammar.

Levi Neuwirth 50ad97a31b Text Projection 0.7.0: single-version headers, and blob lines are rejected
Scoping the document layer found that no blob can be canonical. A blob is
canonical iff referenced by a canonical operation or by canonical reduced state
(`req:textproj:canonical-blobs`; core_spec §"Canonical and Non-Canonical Manifest
Roots"), and nothing in epiphany-core or epiphany-ops references a `BlobId` --
there is no mechanism by which one can be reached. So today every real bundle
projects to zero blob lines.

The first instinct was to let a parser accept blob lines anyway, for forward
compatibility. That is wrong twice over. Forward compatibility is owned by header
gating -- a future writer's text carries a future version, which this parser
rejects at line one -- and a blob line accepted today would be staged into a
bundle that the next projection silently drops, losing data *and* falsifying
`project(serialize(parse(T))) == T` for that text.
`req:textproj:reject-unreferenced-blobs` therefore requires rejection, and the
conformance equation holds unconditionally over parse-accepted texts rather than
only over texts in the image of `project`.

`req:textproj:header-version` pins the other half: a parser accepts exactly one
header version, the companion's own. Multi-version acceptance and text
migrate-on-read are deferred in the same posture as op-payload migrate-on-read
rather than improvised.

Auditing the worked example against its own grammar found three defects in it: it
carried a blob line, which is now by construction an example of an *invalid*
document; its byte strings used literal ellipses, which `bytes ::= "#x" hexdigit*`
cannot derive; and its header still claimed 0.3.0. All three fixed, and the
preamble no longer promises elisions it does not contain -- an example that cannot
be parsed teaches the wrong lesson.

The version now appears in six places here. Two were locked; the two dangerous
ones were not, because they are *normative* -- a bump that updated the title and
missed them would leave the companion requiring parsers to accept a version it no
longer is. `requirements_name_only_this_companion_version` scans every requirement
block and holds any version literal to the title, deliberately exempting the
revision history, where old versions are the point.

Twelve grammar-gate tests, all mutation-verified.

Levi Neuwirth fdb4a57885 Text Projection: the operation layer, and the tests that can see it fail
Projection and strict parse for the whole Chapter-6 operation vocabulary: the 31
kind productions, the envelope with its stamp and causal context, the four
payload variants, and the sub-vocabularies for actions, undo policies, tuplet
compensation, cross-cutting values and position remapping. Written against the
grammar, per `req:textproj:operation-vocabulary`, calling `TextValue` only where a
production says `value`.

Names are generated, never spelled: `OperationKindTag::catalog_name()` comes from
the same vocabulary macro as the wire discriminant and the decoder, and `parse`
dispatches through an exhaustive match, so a kind added to the vocabulary and not
to the projector fails to compile.

Six sequences are order-constrained because their encoders normalize. Both halves
of each are enforced and both halves are tested, which turned out to matter. The
rejecting half was straightforward -- `TransposeOp.targets` mirrors the frozen
multiset exactly, rejecting a strict decrease while accepting a duplicate, and
getting that backwards would silently break a frozen operation's replay. The
*normalizing* half was written correctly by every agent and tested by none: every
fixture was already sorted, so all five outbound sorts survived deletion with the
suite green. The consequence was real -- with one removed, the projector emits
descending targets that its own parser then rejects, and that disagree with the
canonical bytes.

`textproj_conformance.rs` closes that. Each of the five builds a value unsorted in
memory, asserts the fixture pair really is descending before relying on it, then
checks the projection sorts, parses, and matches what encode-then-decode produces
-- pinning text and bytes to one normalization rather than merely to each other.

It also carries a structural injectivity sweep: 3319 mutants of projected
envelopes, of which 259 parse, all re-projecting byte-identically. That is
`req:textproj:roundtrip`'s second equation, and it is the evidence that no
whole-line re-project guard is needed -- every path that could normalize is
pre-empted by a per-site check. The sweep asserts its own reach, because one that
rejected everything would prove nothing. Deleting any per-site order check makes
it fail independently of the dedicated test.

And it locks the companion's worked example byte-for-byte. It was correct and
nothing kept it so, which is how a "machine-checked" claim became true of one run
and of nothing durable at 0.3.0.

All seven checks mutation-verified, each killed by exactly its own named test.

Levi Neuwirth 4ded63a583 Text Projection 0.6.0: the operation vocabulary is grammar-directed
Scoping the operation layer surfaced a contradiction the companion had never
resolved. `req:textproj:value-projection` is a mechanical rule over structs,
enums and newtypes; the Grammar chapter separately spells out `envelope`,
`stamp`, `causal`, `payload`, `kind` and their sub-vocabularies. The two disagree.
Under the value rule an operation would read
`(insert-event (insert-event-op #x0a <event>))`, because an `*Op` record is a
named-field struct and so not a transparent newtype.

`req:textproj:operation-vocabulary` rules for the grammar, which is what the
companion already implied: the value rule's own preamble scopes itself to the
values an operation *embeds*, and the `value` nonterminal marks where it applies.
If the rule governed the vocabulary too, the grammar's productions would be
redundant and partly wrong.

An operation kind therefore inlines its payload record, and the requirement says
why rather than asserting it: the record exists so each variant can name a type,
and the binary form adds no bytes for it -- `OperationKind`'s encoding writes the
tag and delegates. A wrapper that adds no bytes adds no text. That is the same
argument clause 2 makes for newtype transparency, applied one level out.

Also removes a second name for one type. `transpose-interval` inlined its interval
as `(interval <d> <c>)` while `TranspositionInterval` projects as
`(transposition-interval <d> <c>)` at every `value` position. The production now
delegates to `value` and the special case is gone.

Two new checker tests lock both, bringing that gate to nine.

Levi Neuwirth 7b96c2d131 Text Projection 0.5.0: the projection is schema-directed
Found by starting the implementation: the grammar could not derive an ordinary
pitched note.

`value` had no alternative for a sequence at all, though value-projection clause 5
required one. Adding it exposed why it was missing. A sequence whose first element
is a fieldless variant is shape-identical to a struct, and `()` is both the empty
sequence and the absent option. Both collisions are reachable from the first
pitched note in any score: `PitchedEvent` carries `articulations` and `ornaments`,
sequences over the zero-field `ArticulationMark` and `OrnamentMark`, beside an
optional `DynamicMark`. One `insert-event` line holds both.

The collision is irreducible without new syntax, and new syntax buys nothing --
`req:textproj:strict-parse` already obliges a parser to reject a duplicate in a
set-typed field, which it cannot do without knowing the field is set-typed. The
parser consults the schema either way. So `req:textproj:schema-directed` states
what the ratified rules already required, `value` collapses to `"(" value* ")"` or
a leaf -- all shape can honestly say -- and the requirement assigns meaning by the
expected type. The binary form is schema-directed for the same reason and pays the
same price: its bytes do not say what they are either.

Three consequences stated: a struct with no fields is the bare symbol, as a
fieldless variant is; a byte string is not a sequence, so an opaque extension
payload and a `SoundConfiguration` project as byte strings, never as lists of
integers; and the grammar's repetitions now carry a notation rule -- adjacent
elements separated by exactly one space -- without which `"(transpose (" bytes* ")"`
spelled two targets as one undelimited run of hex.

Checker gains a seventh test, mutation-verified by restoring the 0.4.0 `value`
production and by stripping the schema-directed citations. It asserts the
symbol-headed struct alternative is *absent*: a grammar claiming to tell a struct
from a sequence by shape would be lying.

Gate green -- clippy 0, 1038 tests, doc 0, conformance 8/8, no golden churn, three
spec documents build clean with no undefined references.

Levi Neuwirth 7face56ab4 Text Projection 0.4.0: two normative corrections, and a checker that can fail
The 0.3.0 audit raised two normative issues and one process issue. All three
land here, plus a fourth defect that reviewing the fix turned up.

The grammar contradicted its own escape requirement. `req:textproj:string-escapes`
obliges a writer to escape the backslash and a parser to reject a bare one, while
`unescaped` admitted it. Escapes are now four two-character sequences and
`unescaped` excludes U+0022, U+005C, U+000A, U+0009 by codepoint.

"Keep the binary order" was not available for every sequence. It holds only where
the binary order reads data the projection preserves, and two sequences fail that
test: `blob_roots` sorts by the full `BlobRef` encoding (offset, compressed
length, compression), and an extension's preserved chunk roots sort by
`ChunkRef`'s order, keyed on kind, then content hash, then *offset*. Under the
blanket rule, relocating a chunk -- which changes no semantics -- would change the
text, and two entries indistinguishable after erasure would produce duplicate
lines. `req:textproj:derived-ordering` orders and de-duplicates exactly those two
by projected form, and states that every other sequence keeps the binary order:
profile and extension declarations sort on semantic `(id, version)` keys, and
envelopes on canonical operation order.

The "machine-checked" grammar was checked by a throwaway script -- true of one run
and of nothing durable, the same evidence gap P2-P4 kept exposing.
`text_projection_grammar.rs` is the committed form: no nonterminal undefined or
unreachable, the escape rule admits exactly its four sequences, and the operation
and chunk productions are *derived* from `OperationKindTag::PAYLOAD_FREE` and
`ChunkKind` through an exhaustive match, so a kind added to the enum and not to
the grammar fails to compile. Every locator finds its production by name; writing
it exposed four bugs in itself, three of them column-anchored checks that a reflow
would have silently switched off.

Reviewing the escape fix found it reintroduced the audited defect in disguise: a
quoted terminal `"\\"` reads as two backslashes, so every escape became three
characters long. Both characters are now codepoints. Relatedly the mono font's
`Ligatures={TeX}` rendered U+0022 as a right curly quote and `--` as an en dash,
so the grammar misprinted the very delimiters it defines; `core_spec.tex` already
omitted it. Both are asserted against.

All six tests mutation-verified: the anchor asserted present before substitution,
then the named test observed to fail. Gate green -- clippy 0, 1037 tests, doc 0,
conformance 8/8, no golden churn, three spec documents build clean.

Levi Neuwirth 2868f8c4b3 Text Projection 0.3.0: every production expanded, and one rule for values
0.1.0 left kind, action, policy, constraints and barrier derived-but-unwritten
and admitted it. All are now written. The grammar has no undefined nonterminal
(machine-checked) and 31 operation-kind productions in exact discriminant order,
cross-checked against envdecode.rs.

The one real decision was how embedded Chapter-5 values appear. An operation
payload carries an Event, a Pitch, a Region, a TimeSignature, and there were
three ways to write them:

  Forty hand-written productions would restate the entire Chapter-5 data model in
  a second normative document -- two normative listings of one struct, which is
  the exact drift P13-I1 was opened to close.

  Opaque canonical-value byte strings would be lossless and zero-drift, but a
  pitch would be unreadable without binary tooling, failing the core spec's own
  "format inspection and debugging" use case.

  One mechanical rule (req:textproj:value-projection, ratified): a struct is
  (<type-name> <field>...) with fields positional in the ratified declaration
  order; a newtype is transparent, exactly as in the binary form; a tagged union
  is (<variant> <field>...); an option is () or (some v); a sequence keeps the
  binary form's order. A rule cannot drift from what it reads.

Two leaf decisions follow from canonicality rather than taste. A rational is
(ratio n d), lowest terms, sign on the numerator. A CanonicalF64 is the byte
string of its eight canonical IEEE-754 bytes and never a decimal: decimal float
text is not canonically unique -- shortest-round-trip and 17-significant-digit
forms both round-trip, and -0.0 has two spellings -- so a decimal tempo would
break req:textproj:canonical-text at the first tempo mark.

Operation-kind names follow the Operation Catalog's sections (create-region,
create-staff), not OperationKindTag's (InsertRegion, InsertStaff), which renamed
three pairs for reasons internal to the tag space. The projection follows the
semantics.

One deferral, stated as such rather than left to inference:
affected_object_kinds and edit_barriers have ratified structured shapes AND
canonical byte encodings, and the bundle stores them opaquely. At 0.3.0 the
projection does the same, on the principle that it interprets nothing the bundle
does not. A later revision may project them structurally; their canonical bytes
are unchanged by that, so it changes the text and not the document.

Also corrected: the extension line now writes its fields in the ratified
declaration order, which had preserved_chunk_roots before affected_object_kinds
and edit_barriers.

Gate: clippy 0, 31 targets / 1031 passed / 0 failed, conformance 8/8, zero golden
churn; core_spec, binary_format and text_projection all build with no undefined
references. Grammar closure machine-checked: no undefined nonterminal.
