Ratification round 12 returned zero findings against 25b4925 -- the live
mutation-site locators, M7's field anchors, M6's structural mapping,
touch-table coverage, the gate and report consumers, and the expected-outcome
table all rechecked, with the revised m40 citations and the remaining named
mutation sites resolving against the tree. Ratified on the authority of the
repository owner.
Contract status block: RATIFIED, DISPATCHABLE, PINS FROZEN -- executed, not
edited; a defect found during execution is reported as its own amendment with
its own review round. The block's earlier promise to say RATIFIED when the
decision was taken is discharged, and it still states no round count, per
round 2's correction.
NOT YET DISPATCHED. Ratification and dispatch are separate acts, no execution
instruction has been given, and nothing is implemented -- so the ledger row
does NOT move to RESOLVED. The contract now distinguishes four states:
unblocked, ratified, dispatchable, resolved. This rung is the first three.
What ratification does not settle, recorded at the top of the contract:
- Two cells of §3's expected-outcome table -- t8d under M2, t9 under M1 -- are
PREDICTIONS from pins not yet executed, stated so they can be falsified. A
mismatch is a finding in the contract or the implementation.
- Every gate, test and mutation is specified and none has been run. Twelve
rounds went into the claim that they can be run and that their results would
be evidential; execution is what tests that claim.
- §4a's landing obligation is outstanding by construction: CLAUDE.md and the
handoff carry statements pin 12's bump falsifies, and must not be staged
during execution.
- The execution report is subject to independent review before completion is
accepted, as S27's was -- which turned a clean paper record into seven
post-execution amendments.
Round 11 is also recorded: pin 6's m40 locators had drifted to invariants.rs:6045,
the enclosing module's doc comment rather than m40's own. Fixed by the owner at
25b4925 to :6060-:6135 and gate 6 to :6063; verified against the tree.
The defect record, so ratification is not read as vindication: 32 findings
closed before it -- 19 in draft amendment 1 and revisions A-J, 13 across rounds
1-11. None was in the pins' substance. The maintenance rule, the refusal,
invariant 21, the undo strip and the authority bump have been stable since
draft amendment 1, and every single finding was in the evidence apparatus:
what observes a requirement, what channel carries an observation, who owns a
claim, and whether a locator resolves. That is where this contract was weak and
where execution should be read hardest.
Governing docs updated to the now-true state: CLAUDE.md's track head, the
handoff's POST-S27 chain row, and the S16 ledger cell, which supersedes its own
"has not been through adversarial review" sentence per the append-only
convention.
Documentation only: no .rs or .toml touched.
