#165's own commits could not update the handoff snapshot to name the
merge that contains them, so the protocol obligation lands here.
- `docs/agent-handoff.md`: absorb the dired lane into §1, replacing the
placeholder that promised exactly this. The bullet carries Stage 1's
durable substrate facts — why the tolerant `read_dir` had to be Rust,
why exposing the core normalizer beat mirroring it in Lua, the
fixed-width `_layout` contract Stage 3 reads offsets from, the
ambient-action buffer guard, treating a failure as the answer instead
of probing, the per-entry error cap, the first mode-scoped keymap and
the pre-existing test it broke, and the dedication a descent does not
carry. Refresh the head-of-`main` anchor and the last-updated line.
- `docs/agent-handoff.md` §5: two ops lessons that cost real time. A fix
must be committed before it is bitten, because `scripts/bite` restores
by `git checkout --` and reverts to HEAD; a CONFLICTING PR runs no CI
at all, because `pull_request` workflows build a merge ref GitHub does
not create while the branch conflicts, and nothing reports the absence.
- `docs/active-work.md`: remove the merged lane per update-protocol rule
4 and summarize it under "Closed since the last snapshot", keeping the
two forward items Stage 2 needs (the rename rebind is first-match-only
over a raw path, and Q#DR5's seam is the main-thread drain). Refresh
the canonical base. Flag the two lane headers that still call a merged
PR "IN REVIEW" — #161 and #166 — rather than editing lanes another
thread owns.
- `COHERENCE.md`: #165 is no longer a PR. Per §25 the audited claims this
work changed were updated when it landed; this corrects their tense in
seven places and the two prose lines that still asserted dired was in
flight.
- `docs/dired-framing.md`: status line to MERGED, and state plainly that
Stages 2 and 3 each still need their own framing.
Docs only; no code, no gate-relevant change.
