Kind 39 CreateMeasure and precondition reasons 16-18 reach the Binary Format's
kind table, tag table, payload layout, and reason table; graph invariant 20
reaches the core specification's enumeration, which now says twenty in all three
places it counts. Both normative listings in that document gain CreateMeasure --
earlier drafts of the contract named only the invariant, and prose fails silently.
Every version surface moves in pairs. Binary Format 0.15.0 -> 0.16.0, Operation
Catalog 0.12.0 -> 0.13.0, each with a changelog entry beside the title bump. The
Text Projection companion needed only the changelog: packet 1 bumped its header to
0.13.0 and stopped there, leaving the document claiming a version its own history
did not record. That was live from e64a4b7 until now, and no gate could see it.
Two public hooks exist that would otherwise look like leaks. epiphany-ops depends
on epiphany-core and never the reverse, so invariant 20 implements pin 6/6b's
comparable relation and musical delta a second time over the graph alone. Both
DECISIONS records name the divergence hazard that forces the duplication, name the
cross-crate agreement test as the hooks' only sanctioned use, and say so from each
side.
The monotonicity evidence chain gains only vocabulary-introducing events -- G2b
13c3d2f, G3a 6c5e69f, G3b -- and excludes G-minor and P13-S17 with the reason
stated: neither introduced an additive variant. The 2026-07-29 tie between G2b and
G3a is broken by ancestry, not timestamp.
P13-S18 (invariant 20's abstention residue) and P13-S19 (the pickup deferral) are
filed open by design. P13-S20 is recorded RESOLVED.
The genesis ladder G1 -> G2a -> G-minor -> G2b -> G3a -> G3b is CLOSED.
Executed against spec/CONTRACT_GENESIS_G3B_MEASURE.md rows 14a and 26-36,
mutation M71, which is now the contract's own guard: deleting the G3b Revision
History row fails the history test even though "genesis tranche G3b" still appears
twice in neighbouring prose.

Kind and tag 39 at schema-minor epoch 12, in both unaligned discriminant
spaces. Measure is schema major 0 -- struct_codec! is a plain walk and
TimeAnchor's Codec has no version branching -- so schema_major() gains no arm
and OperationEnvelopeBlock stays at 3.
CreateMeasure is a nested-container mint following CreateStaffInstance, not
G3a's root-level shape: it carries the owning StaffInstanceId beside the
value, and measure_values carries that parent because Measure has no
back-pointer and the graph-removal arm will need it. Append-only, with
referential preconditions on the parent, the signature, and every non-wall-clock
start referent.
The comparable relation is five exact shapes with an identical boundary
selector; ordering across Start/End is unsound while measure length is
unresolved, so it stays unverifiable. Boundary distance needs a musical delta,
which only same-referent same-selector Musical offsets supply. The effective-grid
oracle reconstructs inheritance from metric_grid_chain and meter_change_chain by
write recency -- not by always overlaying per-key on whole-grid -- folds in
prospective overrides, and runs identically in both reduction modes, so an
instance_grid ledger keeps base-free reduction honest.
Three precondition reasons at 16-18. Repairs a live bug found in review: the
materialized-effect decoder stopped at 13, so reasons 14 and 15 already encoded
without decoding, and the generator drawing below(14) could not see them.
Executed against spec/CONTRACT_GENESIS_G3B_MEASURE.md, mutations M1-M33,
M64-M66, M67-M70. text_projection.tex moved into this packet: four tests read
it live, so the companion bump cannot be split from the grammar.
