# Yemaya Study & Deconstruction Workspace — Implementation Evidence Log

Append-only evidence log for
[YEMAYA_STUDY_AND_DECONSTRUCTION_WORKSPACE_SOTA_IMPLEMENTATION_CHECKLIST.md](../YEMAYA_STUDY_AND_DECONSTRUCTION_WORKSPACE_SOTA_IMPLEMENTATION_CHECKLIST.md).

Contract (YSD-0003): every checked item records its implementation artifacts,
test command, passing output, review/approval evidence where applicable, and the
commit that landed it. Entries are append-only; corrections append a superseding
entry rather than editing history. Each entry's commit is resolvable
deterministically with `git log --grep='<item-id>'` because every implementation
commit subject or body names the item IDs it delivers; hashes are additionally
recorded here once known.

Immutable-link contract (YSD-0112): evidence links must survive later edits to
the linked artifact. The convention, in order of preference:

1. **Commits** — full or unambiguous-prefix SHA on `origin/main`
   (`git log --grep='<item-id>'` resolves it; the recorded SHA pins content
   forever). A pinned browse URL is
   `https://github.com/GreyChimp/oshun/blob/<sha>/<path>`.
2. **Migrations** — repo path of the migration directory plus the SHA that
   introduced it (migration files are themselves append-only by repo policy).
3. **API versions** — the version literal in the contract source (e.g.
   `VIDEO_ADAPTER_VERSION`) plus path@sha.
4. **Evaluation reports / performance runs / accessibility reports** — the
   generated report file committed under `docs/` or `infra/a11y-reports/` (or
   the CI run URL), always paired with the workflow name and the commit it ran
   against.
5. **Threat-model updates** — path@sha of the threat-model document revision.
6. **Release decisions** — the decision artifact path@sha plus the named
   approver and date (YSD-0015).

A bare mutable path (no SHA, no version) is not evidence; entries below that
predate this contract already carry SHAs and remain compliant.

## YSD-0101 — Machine-readable capability inventory (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/capability-inventory.json` — 14
    domain entries (yemaya, nisaba, sophia, hathor, aja, euterpe, aglaea,
    bellona, neith, maya, metis, isis, iris, oshun), each with owner, API
    services, data authority (accountable/contributing/boundary per proposal
    §3.2), maturity for the study workspace (proposal §5.1 legend), persistence
    (migration-dir evidence), fixture use (raw marker counts plus code-verified
    findings), test coverage counts, and known limitations; plus 6 program-level
    missing capabilities from proposal §5.2.
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/capability-inventory.schema.json` —
    JSON Schema (2020-12) for the artifact.
  - `tools/yemaya-study/check-capability-inventory.mjs` — dependency-free
    structural validation + domains.json drift check + path-existence check,
    following the `tools/domains/check-registry.mjs` convention.
- **Ground truth collected at commit**
  `6c87e0df3b98f431c80fbc3ab7a5318d85c20898`: file/test/migration counts via
  `find`, fixture-marker counts via `grep -rl`, domain registry fields from
  `domains.json`. Fixture claims verified by reading code:
  `apps/aja/svc-reference-video/src/metadata-extraction.ts` (simulated FFprobe,
  lines 259–282/508–511), `apps/aja/svc-reference-video/src/scene-detection.ts`
  (simulated frame stats/scene changes, lines 271–334),
  `libs/yemaya/agents/src/creative/performance-reference-library.ts` (in-memory
  `Map` stores lines 183–185, four-value rights enum line 36). All 15
  proposal-cited evidence paths confirmed to exist.
- **Test command:** `node tools/yemaya-study/check-capability-inventory.mjs`
- **Passing output:**
  `capability-inventory check passed: 14 domains, 6 missing-capability entries, assessed 2026-07-18.`
- **Negative test:** removing the `iris` entry, corrupting an owner, and
  pointing a verified finding at a nonexistent path made the checker fail with
  exactly those 3 problems (exit 1); restoring the file returned it to green.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0101'` (subject
  `docs(yemaya): ysd-0101 machine-readable capability inventory`), landed as
  `a0710bd396` on branch and merged to origin/main via `0808b8cb5b`.

## YSD-0102 — Proposal §29 evidence-link validation + symbol record (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/section-29-evidence.md` — link
    validation result plus the exact reusable symbols, services, and contracts
    for all 15 §29.3 primitives (replacing directory-level claims), with reuse
    caveats and a prohibited-inference risk flag for four yemaya analyzers
    (gaze/fatigue/authenticity/response detection) feeding YSD-4052.
- **Validation method:** every §29 link resolved from `docs/proposals/` with a
  shell existence check over all 30 targets (5 ADRs, 10 domain docs, 15
  primitives) — all OK, zero stale paths, so no proposal edits were needed.
  Export surfaces extracted with `grep -n '^export '` per file and read in
  context; simulated paths re-confirmed (aja scene-detection lines 271–334,
  metadata-extraction lines 259–282/508–511).
- **Test command:**
  `cd docs/proposals && for p in <all 30 §29 link targets>; do [ -e "$p" ] || echo STALE $p; done`
  → no STALE output.
- **Note:** continuous re-validation of these links is deliberately deferred to
  YSD-0111 (automated traceability check), which owns CI enforcement.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0102'`, landed as `e4f7be9eb2`.

## YSD-0103 — Reuse-versus-wrap-versus-replace ledger (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (ledger + enforcement built; 10 owner decisions recorded
  as pending and tracked by the checker — those pending decisions gate later
  work via the ledger itself and the future YSD-0139 CI decision gate, they do
  not gate this build item)
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/reuse-ledger.json` — 20 entries, one
    per proposal §5.2 capability row, each with status (§5.1 legend), cited
    evidence, proposed disposition (reuse/wrap/replace/build-new/ exclude),
    rationale, and — for every partial or fixture-backed capability — a required
    ownerDecision block (all currently pending).
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/reuse-ledger.schema.json` — JSON
    Schema with conditional requirements (partial/fixture-backed ⇒
    ownerDecisionRequired:true + ownerDecision present; decided ⇒
    decidedBy/decidedOn/decision/rationale).
  - `tools/yemaya-study/check-reuse-ledger.mjs` — parses the §5.2 markdown table
    straight from the proposal so ledger and proposal cannot drift silently;
    enforces the decision policy; validates evidence paths; reports the
    pending-decision count.
- **Test command:** `node tools/yemaya-study/check-reuse-ledger.mjs`
- **Passing output:**
  `reuse-ledger check passed: 20 entries covering 20 proposal §5.2 rows; 10 owner decision(s) pending.`
- **Negative test:** deleting the rights-resolver entry, un-requiring the nisaba
  decision, and claiming a decided state without decidedBy/decidedOn/rationale
  produced exactly 5 problems (exit 1); restore returned green.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0103'`, landed as `d099eb67e1`.

## YSD-0104 — Existing schema inventory + identity conflicts (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/schema-inventory.md` — inventory of
    the 12 schema families (media, annotation, notebook, evidence, rights,
    search, graph, learning, replay, telemetry, signing, audit) with exact file
    paths, key exported types/tables, owning domains, the five migration/schema
    directories (nisaba, sophia, yemaya, oshun prisma + metis drizzle-style),
    and 13 documented identity/semantics conflicts, each with the Section 2/3/4
    contract obligation that must resolve it.
- **Method:** one sequential Explore-agent sweep (no parallel agents, per
  session-limit policy), then main-session spot-verification of ten load-bearing
  claims by reading cited files — all ten confirmed (aja dual annotation enums,
  sophia Notebook:935/EvidencePack:971/RightsStatus:72,
  CanonicalPlatformAuditEventSchema:160, metis dual MasteryLevel, dual AuditLog
  models sophia:1331/yemaya:1118, oshun NisabaAnnotation:2017 and
  NisabaNotebook:2111, bellona REMOTE_REPLAY_BUNDLE_VERSION:66, live-media
  PlaybackGrantClaimsSchema:44).
- **Notable finds feeding later items:** `libs/shared/live-media` playback-grant
  flow is the closest existing rights-decision primitive (pattern for Section
  4.1); the canonical audit-event contract + hash-chain store already exist
  (`libs/contracts/src/common/canonical-audit-event.ts`,
  `libs/shared/audit-platform`) and YSD-3060 must ingest them rather than invent
  a new ledger; oshun already holds cross-domain Nisaba/Metis/Veritas
  projections, so the workspace's projection pattern has precedent.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0104'`, landed as `dbb87a0916`
  (merged to origin/main via `84c7410039`).

## YSD-0105 — Infrastructure inventory (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/infrastructure-inventory.md` —
    databases (Postgres16+pgvector via PgBouncer; 18 domain DBs + oshun_dev from
    `POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES`, including existing `yemaya` and `nisaba`
    DBs), object stores (MinIO dev / S3 prod / live-media S3 store), queues
    (Redis+BullMQ via `libs/shared/queue`; SQS+DLQ terraform; Kafka+ Debezium
    profile-gated), search (Elasticsearch profile + PG FTS), vectors (pgvector
    default + Qdrant profile), graph (Neo4j profile; TS/Postgres graph engines
    today), time-series (none dedicated — matches YSD-3043 posture), audit
    (canonical contract + hash-chain with in-memory-only store; divergent domain
    tables), observability, RunPod GPU posture, and 4 named gaps feeding
    Sections 1/3/6.
- **Method:** read `docker/docker-compose.dev.yml` (images, profiles, database
  provisioning line 28), `infra/` and `infra/terraform/` layouts, SQS module
  naming/alarms, `infra/runpod/endpoints`, BullMQ dependency in
  `libs/shared/queue/package.json`; `.env.example` present, no committed root
  `.env`.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0105'`, landed as `21d024fcf2`.

## YSD-0106 — Oshun Studio surface inventory (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/studio-surface-inventory.md` — all
    eight dimensions: routes (58 /studio route dirs enumerated; no /studio/study
    yet; 1,464 studio components with fixture caveat), shared navigation
    (libs/oshun/navigation + shell-core + app components), authentication
    (libs/oshun/auth, auth-session cookies/types, BFF), tenant context
    (tenant-console, tenant-scoped prisma uniqueness, TenantIdSchema), Library
    persistence (LibraryLibraryCollection:1594 + Nisaba projections + mounted
    /nisaba surfaces), design tokens (shared package + app design-system),
    responsive baseline (breakpoints/ mediaQueries tokens.ts:329-344),
    accessibility primitives (AccessibilityShell, focus/keyboard/i18n
    components), plus reuse-worthy adjacent capabilities (offline,
    clipper-extension for YSD-5011, DomainDegradation pattern for YSD-2007) and
    3 named gaps.
- **Method:** direct ls/grep/read of apps/oshun/web/src (app routes, studio
  routes, components, design-system tokens, auth-session) and libs/oshun/\*
  (auth, navigation, shell-core, design-tokens, persistence prisma).
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0106'`, landed as `596e6bbfd9`.

## YSD-0107 — Harness inventory mapped to release gates (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/harness-inventory.md` — the eight
    harness families (Playwright/e2e, accessibility, contract, evaluation,
    performance, deletion, privacy, security) with exact paths/workflows, a
    gate-by-gate coverage table for all 19 mandatory release gates
    (YSD-18130–18148), and named gaps (no epistemic-conflation tests, no
    media-derivative deletion fan-out, no parser-fuzz/SSRF suites, no gold sets
    pending YSD-0130, gates 3/9/13–19 unharnessed).
- **Method:** surveyed `testing/` (e2e, performance/k6+benchmarks, chaos,
  prompt-injection with held-out sets, boundary validator), all 102
  `.github/workflows/` names with study-relevant ones read, deletion/privacy
  code under libs/oshun (dsar-deletion-cascade + unit/integration tests, privacy
  erasers, consent stores/ledger), and Section 18.6 gate text.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0107'`, landed as `390e735509`
  (merged to origin/main via `33956eb359`).

## YSD-0108 — Source-format support matrix (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/source-format-matrix.md` — 12-row
    matrix (film/video, audio, subtitles, transcripts, images, documents,
    storyboards, telemetry, creator-owned 3D, level scenes, commentary,
    paratext) with concrete formats, evidence-backed existing capability,
    §5.1-legend status, and target checklist items; plus cross-cutting
    requirements (parser sandboxing, simulated-path quarantine, link-only
    provider posture, rational frame-rate gap in aja types, capability
    discovery).
- **Key ground truth established:** real ffmpeg/ffprobe execution exists in
  `libs/shared/encoding` (imf-delivery, audio-analysis, timeline-assembly) and
  `libs/shared/live-media` (neith-ffmpeg-transcoder, ffmpeg-hls-dash-packager),
  with on-box `/usr/bin/ffmpeg` + `/usr/bin/ ffprobe` — these, not aja's
  simulated probe, are the decode foundation. Neith 3D import confirmed by
  reading `libs/neith/assets/crates/neith-asset-import/src/lib.rs:13`
  (`GltfImporter, UsdImporter, FbxImporter, ObjImporter, AlembicImporter`). No
  PDF parser found in nisaba/sophia.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0108'`, landed as `ed20585c24`.

## YSD-0109 — User-persona acceptance matrix (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/persona-acceptance-matrix.md` — all
    six §6 personas (learner filmmaker, learner game developer,
    actor/animator/director, character/costume/concept artist,
    teacher/mentor/team lead, researcher/critic) each mapped to jobs (from
    proposal §6 verbatim), §7 journeys, concrete acceptance checklist items
    (Section 22.1 proofs + gates), domain dependencies, and one non-negotiable
    safety/integrity constraint per persona (no-model manual study; no
    instrumented external titles; no real-state emotion inference;
    resolution-limited crops + cultural taxonomy authorship; no taste scoring;
    immutable scholarly history).
- **Method:** proposal §6 read in full (lines 341–384) and mapped against
  Section 22.1/22.2 acceptance items and Section 18.6 gates.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0109'`, landed as `5c1cd4e387`.

## YSD-0110 + YSD-0111 — Traceability ledger + automated check (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (built together — the check is the ledger's enforcement —
  verified individually)
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/traceability-ledger.json` (YSD-0110)
    — GENERATED ledger with 158 entries, one per normative proposal subsection
    (every `###` under numbered sections 1–29, section-level entries for 26/27,
    Final Recommendation; Table of Contents excluded as non-normative), each
    carrying mapped checklist sections with live item ranges/counts, explicit
    item IDs where established, release gates (23.5 → YSD-18130..18148), and
    notes. Test evidence per item lives in EVIDENCE_LOG.md (linked from the
    ledger header).
  - `tools/yemaya-study/traceability-map.json` — the curated
    subsection→checklist mapping (158 entries) the ledger is generated from,
    seeded from the checklist's own coverage index and refined at subsection
    level (e.g. 9.2→YSD-2072/2073, 9.3→YSD-2074..2077, 17.2→YSD-1002..1004,
    29.x→YSD-0102).
  - `tools/yemaya-study/check-traceability.mjs` (YSD-0111) — parses proposal
    headers and checklist IDs; fails on: unmapped proposal subsection, stale map
    entry, nonexistent checklist section/item (exact-token Set membership, never
    substring — YSD-1002 vs YSD-10020 prefix hazard handled), checklist
    references to nonexistent proposal sections (`proposal Section N` scan), and
    ledger drift vs regeneration (`--write` regenerates).
  - `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — all three yemaya-study checkers added to the
    quality/lint job beside the domain-registry check (automation requirement of
    YSD-0111).
- **Test command:** `node tools/yemaya-study/check-traceability.mjs`
- **Passing output:**
  `traceability check passed: 158 proposal subsections mapped, 1305 checklist items known, 158 map entries.`
- **Negative test:** removing the 9.2 mapping, adding a bogus map key,
  referencing YSD-99999 and truncated YSD-100 (prefix of real IDs — proves
  word-boundary semantics), rewriting a checklist reference to
  `proposal Section 99`, and leaving the ledger stale produced exactly 6
  problems (exit 1); restore returned green.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0110'`, landed as `6fd3ff3fd9`.

## YSD-0112 — Implementation evidence log with immutable links (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete
- **Artifacts:** this file's header now carries the immutable-link contract
  covering all eight classes YSD-0112 names (commits, migrations, API versions,
  evaluation reports, performance runs, accessibility reports, threat-model
  updates, release decisions), each with its pinning convention (SHA-anchored
  paths/URLs, version literals, workflow+commit pairs, named approver for
  release decisions). Existing entries already comply (every completed item
  records its landing SHA).
- **Verification:** all recorded SHAs resolve on origin/main
  (`git merge-base --is-ancestor <sha> origin/main` for a0710bd396, e4f7be9eb2,
  d099eb67e1, dbb87a0916, 21d024fcf2, 596e6bbfd9, 390e735509, ed20585c24,
  5c1cd4e387, 6fd3ff3fd9 — see commit for the run).
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0112'`.

## YSD-0113 — Nisaba primitive generalization assessment (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/reuse-ledger.json` — new
    `nisabaPrimitiveAssessments` section with six primitive families:
    annotations-w3c-model (generalizes-with-extension — selector union takes new
    media selector kinds; FragmentSelector/Media-Fragments is a bridge but lacks
    rational frame rate/edition identity), editions-critical-edition
    (needs-new-contract — philology-shaped; VariantUnit review pattern templates
    EditionAlignmentMap), comparative-structures-collation (needs-new-contract),
    corpora-canon-registries (generalizes-with-extension — CTS URN/
    canonical-uri/versification-mapping discipline is the SourceWork identity
    shape; versification mapping is the alignment-map precedent),
    study-plans-research-projects (generalizes), notebooks-library-items
    (generalizes).
  - Schema extended (`reuse-ledger.schema.json`) and checker extended
    (`check-reuse-ledger.mjs`) to require ≥5 assessments with valid outcomes,
    substantive rationales, and existing evidence paths.
- **Ground truth read:** `libs/nisaba/core/src/types/annotations.ts` (W3C
  motivations + TextQuote/TextPosition/Fragment/XPath selector union),
  `libs/nisaba/database/prisma/schema.prisma` (CollationProject:306,
  VariantUnit:349 char-offset units, CriticalEdition:400),
  `libs/nisaba/workspace/src/research-environment.ts`, `libs/nisaba/canon/`.
- **Test command:** `node tools/yemaya-study/check-reuse-ledger.mjs`
- **Negative test:** invalid outcome `magically-works` + nonexistent evidence
  path produced exactly 2 problems (exit 1); restore returned green.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0113'`, landed as `bf148f6544`.

## YSD-0139 — Decision log published + CI rollout gate (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete. The 18 EXT decisions themselves (YSD-0120,
  YSD-0122–YSD-0138) remain **unchecked and proposed** — per YSD-0015 they
  complete only with a named approver; the drafts, harness, and enforcement are
  this item's deliverable.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/decisions/ysd-0120.md` …
    `ysd-0138.md` (18 files) — one decision artifact per EXT item, each with
    Question, Recommendation (grounded in proposal §26 and the Section 0.1
    inventories), Options considered with rejection rationale, Consequences,
    Machine-enforced outcome, and a pending Approval block naming the decision
    owner (@GreyChimp).
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/decisions/decision-log.json` —
    published machine-readable log (18 entries, all `proposed`, all
    `blocking: true`).
  - `tools/yemaya-study/check-decision-log.mjs` — validates completeness of
    every required decision + artifact sections; rejects approved-without-
    approver/date/outcome (YSD-0015), log/artifact status disagreement, and
    expired approvals (reviewBy in the past); `--enforce-rollout` fails while
    any blocking decision is unresolved — the production-rollout gate the
    study-workspace deploy pipeline (YSD-1010) must invoke.
  - `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — plain-mode check added to the quality job.
- **Test command:** `node tools/yemaya-study/check-decision-log.mjs`
- **Passing output:**
  `decision-log check passed: 18 decisions tracked, 18 blocking decision(s) still unresolved (informational; rollout gate not enforced)`;
  `--enforce-rollout` correctly fails listing all 18.
- **Negative test:** approved-without-fields, artifact/log disagreement, expired
  reviewBy, and a removed required decision produced exactly 7 problems (exit
  1); restore returned green.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0139'`, landed as `27ea6e7a56`.

## YSD-0150–YSD-0162 + YSD-0165 — Domain responsibility contracts (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (14 definition items; YSD-0163 conformance tests and
  YSD-0164 architecture tests remain unchecked — they need real adapters and
  scaffolding to test, else they would be self-asserting gates)
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/responsibility-contracts.md` —
    version 1.0.0, superseded-not-edited. YSD-0150 defines the shared convention
    (one `libs/<owner>/study-adapter` per accountable owner,
    `STUDY_ADAPTER_CONTRACT_VERSION` semver, capability discovery + YSD-2007
    response vocabulary, domain-native ID preservation, no direct cross-domain
    DB access). Each domain section (0151 Yemaya, 0152 Nisaba, 0153 Sophia, 0154
    Hathor, 0155 Aja, 0156 Euterpe, 0157 Aglaea, 0158 Bellona+runtimes incl. the
    seven named DCC bridges and bridge-lib reuse, 0159 Metis, 0160 Isis, 0161
    Oshun, 0162 Iris, 0165 Neith/Maya) carries Responsibilities (checked
    word-by-word against the checklist item's enumerated list — every listed
    responsibility present), Adapter boundary, and Must-not constraints.
- **Verification:** each of the 14 sections was diffed against its item's
  enumerated responsibility list before marking; grounded in the YSD-0101
  data-authority fields and the §3.2 matrix.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0150'`, landed as `8ccda3dc4c`.

## YSD-1001 — Architecture ADR (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (ADR created with all seven required dimensions; ADR
  status is Proposed, acceptance explicitly gated on YSD-0120/0122 approvals —
  creation, not acceptance, is this item's deliverable)
- **Artifacts:**
  - `docs/adr/ADR-0074-yemaya-study-deconstruction-workspace-architecture.md` —
    logical architecture (five planes with canonical owners), domain boundaries
    and data authority (Postgres-authoritative, existing yemaya/nisaba/sophia
    databases, single rights decision point, epistemic identity as contract
    property), trust boundaries (untrusted bytes/text, tenant, model, rollout
    gate), route placement (/studio/study per YSD-0122 draft), deployment
    topology (ECS Fargate + BullMQ/SQS + RunPod via Isis + MinIO/S3 +
    FTS/pgvector-first projections), and migration path from specialist apps
    (studio-web pages and svc-reference-video wrapped/retired-behind-redirect,
    simulated paths never migrated).
- **Verification:** all seven content dimensions named by YSD-1001 checked
  present; consistent with responsibility-contracts.md v1.0.0, the YSD-0104/0105
  inventories, and the 18 decision drafts (no contradiction with any proposed
  recommendation).
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1001'`, landed as `398022c496`.

## YSD-1003 — Scaffold apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete
- **Artifacts:** `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace/` — Hono/node service with:
  - `src/config.ts` — zod env schema, fail-fast `ConfigValidationError` with
    readable per-field report; production consistency rules (DATABASE_URL
    required, JSON logs enforced, shutdown grace capped at 25s under the ECS 30s
    stopTimeout).
  - `src/logging.ts` — pino structured JSON logs with service/env base fields,
    credential redaction backstop, YSD-0009 hygiene note.
  - `src/request-context.ts` — X-Request-Id honor-or-mint (validated token
    pattern) + real W3C Trace Context: traceparent parse (zero-id rejection),
    trace continuation with fresh span id, response header emission;
    request-scoped child logger carries requestId/traceId/ spanId.
  - `src/metrics.ts` — prom-client registry with default process metrics + RED
    metrics (duration histogram, in-flight gauge, totals counter) labeled by
    matched route pattern (bounded cardinality).
  - `src/readiness.ts` — probe framework with per-probe timeout; real postgres
    `SELECT 1` probe when DATABASE_URL configured; honest `not-configured`
    reporting otherwise (visible seam, not fake success).
  - `src/app.ts` — /health, /ready (503 on failed probe), /metrics, structured
    404, error handler that never leaks internals in production; deliberately
    zero placeholder business routes.
  - `src/index.ts` — fail-fast config load, serve, graceful shutdown
    (SIGTERM/SIGINT drain with deadline, pool close, second-signal force exit).
  - `project.json` (tags scope:yemaya/type:app/plane:experience, build/
    serve/lint/test/typecheck targets), catalog-only deps, `deploy/README.md`
    deployment manifest (ECS naming contract + gated registration steps +
    container contract), service README.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run` (in the app dir) — **15/15 passed**;
  `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.app.json` — clean.
- **Runtime proof:** booted live on :4321 — structured logs, /health 200 with
  identity, /ready 200 with honest postgres `not-configured` probe, inbound
  `x-request-id: smoke-1` honored + valid traceparent emitted, /metrics served
  24 histogram bucket lines, SIGTERM → drain → exit 0. Real-postgres ok-path
  deferred to walking skeleton (dev compose not running); probe failure/timeout
  paths unit-tested.
- **Note:** a NUL byte corrupted one test string during authoring (made the file
  grep-binary); found via `cat -A`, fixed byte-safely, suite green.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1003'`, landed as `5238d19b9a`.

## YSD-0120, YSD-0122–YSD-0138 — All 18 P0 EXT decisions approved (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete — approved **as recommended** by the decision owner
  (@GreyChimp, the named approver) in this session's conversation ("approve them
  all as recommended"), recorded 2026-07-18, review-by 2027-07-18.
- **Artifacts:** `decisions/decision-log.json` — every entry now
  `status: approved` with approvedBy/approvedOn/outcome/reviewBy; all 18
  `decisions/ysd-01xx.md` artifacts flipped to approved with the approval line
  filled. Each artifact carries the YSD-0015 required set: decision, named
  approver, date, rationale, alternatives with rejection reasons, consequences,
  and machine-enforced outcome.
- **Gate result:**
  `node tools/yemaya-study/check-decision-log.mjs --enforce-rollout` →
  `18 decisions tracked, 0 blocking decision(s) still unresolved (rollout gate: PASS)`.
- **Downstream effects:** ADR-0074 status flipped Proposed → Accepted (was gated
  on YSD-0120/0122); YSD-1002 (route scaffold), YSD-0121 (Nx/CODEOWNERS boundary
  encoding), and Section 2 permanent storage shapes (YSD-0128) are now
  unblocked. The 10 reuse-ledger ownerDecision slots (YSD-0103) are a separate
  approval set and remain pending.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0120'`, landed as `64955a27a5`.

## YSD-0103 addendum — All 10 reuse-ledger owner decisions approved (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** the ledger's pending owner decisions are now decided — approved
  **as proposed** by the owner (@GreyChimp) in this session's conversation
  ("approve the reuse-ledger decisions as proposed too"), recorded 2026-07-18.
  Dispositions now binding: nisaba-study-notebook-substrate → reuse;
  aja-reference-video-model → wrap; aja-ingestion-scene-detection → replace;
  performance-reference-library → replace; yemaya-creative-analyzers → wrap
  (prohibited-inference modules excluded); director-replay-studio-panel →
  replace; hathor-theory-lenses → reuse; aglaea-fashion-knowledge → reuse;
  animation-learning-surface → replace; dailies-review-surface → replace.
- **Gate result:** `node tools/yemaya-study/check-reuse-ledger.mjs` →
  `20 entries covering 20 proposal §5.2 rows; 0 owner decision(s) pending.`
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0103 addendum'`, landed as
  `7ea609cc42`.

## YSD-0121 — Ownership boundaries encoded and enforced (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (all six encoding surfaces the item names)
- **Artifacts:**
  - **Nx tags:** `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace/project.json` carries
    `scope:yemaya`, `type:app`, `plane:experience`; the adapter tag scheme
    (`scope:<owner>` + `type:study-adapter` on `libs/<owner>/study-adapter`) is
    defined in responsibility-contracts.md and enforced by the architecture
    checker the moment an adapter directory appears.
  - **Dependency constraints:** `eslint.config.js` depConstraints — new
    `plane:experience` rule (may depend only on scope:shared/contracts/
    oshun/yemaya, type:study-adapter, plane:experience) and `type:study-adapter`
    rule (adapters may never import each other; cross-lens composition is
    experience-plane work). Service files lint clean under the new rules (eslint
    exit 0).
  - **CODEOWNERS:** verified generated coverage — `libs/yemaya/` and
    `apps/yemaya/` owned by @GreyChimp (lines 103–104), `/tools/` covers
    tools/yemaya-study; staleness is already CI-guarded by check-registry.mjs,
    so no hand edits (they would break the generator drift check).
  - **Contract namespaces:** `libs/contracts/src/study/` reserved as the single
    home for study contracts (responsibility-contracts.md YSD-0150; materialized
    by YSD-1005); scope:contracts depConstraint already prevents contracts from
    depending on domain code.
  - **Service ownership metadata:** domains.json registry entry (yemaya, owner
    @GreyChimp) + project.json tags; registry sync CI-guarded.
  - **Architecture tests:** `tools/yemaya-study/check-architecture.mjs` — scans
    experience-plane and adapter sources for (1) direct cross-domain imports
    bypassing study adapters, (2) cross-domain database/persistence imports
    (YSD-0164), (3) prohibited-inference analyzer imports (the four
    YSD-4052-flagged modules, tests included), and (4) missing required tags;
    wired into the ci.yml quality job with the other checkers.
- **Test command:** `node tools/yemaya-study/check-architecture.mjs`
- **Passing output:**
  `study-workspace architecture check passed: 1 experience-plane project(s), 0 study adapter(s) scanned (1 total).`
- **Negative test:** a planted file importing `@sophia/knowledge-graph`,
  `@hathor/database`, and `.../eye-contact-gaze-monitor` produced exactly 3
  problems, one per rule (exit 1); removal returned green.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0121'`, landed as `e8434e418a`.

## YSD-1002 — Canonical Studio route /studio/study (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (scaffold at the approved route with the approved layout
  conventions; the global "Study" nav entry is Section 7 work)
- **Artifacts:**
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/app/studio/study/page.tsx` — follows the Studio route
    convention exactly (Metadata with canonical `/studio/study` per approved
    YSD-0122, ShellLayout `active="studio"`, workspace component, quickAction
    links to real surfaces: /studio, /nisaba/notebooks, /library).
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/StudioStudyWorkspace.tsx` — the entry
    surface with an explicit honesty contract: a typed
    `STUDY_LAUNCH_CAPABILITIES` list where every capability reports its real
    state; the six unshipped capabilities (projects/ingest, playback/
    annotation, camera/performance/narrative/sound lenses per the approved
    YSD-0126 set) render "Not yet available" with zero interactive affordance;
    the two available entries link to genuinely shipped surfaces (Nisaba
    notebooks, shared Library).
  - `apps/oshun/web/vitest.config.ts` — include pattern extended to
    `.spec.{ts,tsx}` (new `.test.` files are ratcheted; existing pattern only
    matched `.test.`).
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/app/studio/study/__tests__/study-page.spec.tsx` — 4
    tests: identity/posture; **honesty invariant** (every unavailable capability
    shows the explicit status and renders no link/button); available links point
    only to route directories that exist on disk (fs-verified, so the page can
    never advertise a dead destination); metadata declares the approved
    canonical route.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/app/studio/study` (in apps/oshun/web) —
  **4/4 passed**.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1002'`, landed as `9eca3bec5e`.

## YSD-1005 + YSD-2001–YSD-2004 — Study contracts namespace + first primitives (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (five items, each verified against its full text)
- **Artifacts:** `libs/contracts/src/study/` (the YSD-0121-reserved namespace),
  exported as `@oshun/contracts/study` subpath and `StudyContracts` namespace
  (namespace-only at root to avoid name collisions with other domains'
  SegmentId/Timecode):
  - `ids.ts` (YSD-2001) — 35 branded identifiers covering every Section 2.2 core
    entity plus AnalysisRunId, RightsDecisionId, ReviewDecisionId, StudyEventId,
    StudyExportId, ProductionBacklinkId; domain-owned identities referenced
    through `*Ref` brands over native formats (Nisaba/Metis/Sophia/Isis — never
    re-minted); `DomainNativeObjectRef` preserves arbitrary native IDs verbatim
    (YSD-3002 mapping philosophy).
  - `author.ts` (YSD-2004) — strict discriminated union
    human/model/imported-system/collaborative-group; model identity carries
    modelId/modelVersion/analysisRunId and structurally cannot validate with a
    userId (conflation-rejection tested both directions).
  - `envelope.ts` (YSD-2002) — all nine required fields (schemaVersion, tenant,
    project, creator, timestamps, revision, supersession, provenance,
    deletionState) with supersession-chain refinements and the pure append-only
    `superseding()` helper (deterministic — caller supplies time; refuses
    already-superseded and legal-hold records).
  - `locators.ts` (YSD-2003) — all nine primitives: rational frame rate (exact
    cross-multiplication equality, gcd canonicalization, known-rate constants),
    real SMPTE 12M drop-frame timecode (dropped-label validation; bidirectional
    conversion), monotonic time (bigint-safe string nanoseconds +
    clock-domain-guarded comparison), wall-clock,
    normalized/pixel/spatial/document coordinates with refinements, and
    runtime-event locators requiring at least one locating field.
  - `study.spec.ts` — 21 tests including known-correct SMPTE anchors
    (00:00:59;29→1799, 00:01:00;02→1800, 00:10:00;00→17982, 01:00:00;00→107892),
    a dense 2,000-frame DF round-trip sweep plus 59.94 DF samples, envelope
    chain negatives, and region round-trips.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (in libs/contracts) — **21/21
  passed**; `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` — clean.
- **No duplicate domain types (YSD-1005):** tenant identity follows the
  platform's canonical-audit-event convention (opaque token, no new brand);
  Nisaba/Metis/Sophia records are referenced, not redefined.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1005'`, landed as `1a4a675bd9`
  (SKIP_TYPECHECK=1 used per the documented nx-typecheck fan-out trap —
  289-project hook typecheck surfaced pre-existing common/citation.ts errors in
  untouched files; libs/contracts itself tsc-clean, verified directly).

## YSD-2005–YSD-2007 — Review states, confidence, response contracts (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (three items, each verified against its full text)
- **Artifacts (in `libs/contracts/src/study/`):**
  - `review.ts` (YSD-2005) — the six states as a closed enum; the legal
    transition table (suggested→accepted/corrected/contested/rejected;
    accepted|corrected→contested/superseded; contested→accepted/corrected/
    rejected; rejected→superseded; superseded terminal) with
    `canTransitionReviewState`/`assertReviewTransition` and a typed
    `IllegalReviewTransitionError`; immutable `ReviewEvent` (subject id + pinned
    revision, reviewer, reason, occurredAt) with refinements: models cannot
    accept/correct/reject (suggest-and-contest only), corrected transitions must
    carry corrections; `replayReviewEvents` derives state by replay and rejects
    broken chains.
  - `confidence.ts` (YSD-2006) — calibrated confidence with required calibration
    lineage (method, set id+version, validatedAt), bracketing uncertainty
    interval with coverage, and applicability boundary; explicit `uncalibrated`
    (raw score + native scale) and `missing` (typed reason) variants;
    `isDisplayableProbability` allows only calibrated values — bare numbers do
    not parse.
  - `responses.ts` (YSD-2007) — `CapabilityDescriptor` (dotted capability key,
    supported/unsupported/unavailable with mandatory reason when not supported,
    adapter contract version) and `makeStudyResponseSchema` producing the full
    outcome union: ok, ok-degraded (with mode+reason), partial-success (≥1
    completion, exact failure manifest), unsupported, unavailable
    (retryable/retryAfterMs coherence), forbidden (policy), and
    insufficient-rights (denied action + inspectable RightsDecisionId).
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **32/32
  passed** (11 new: exhaustive 36-pair transition matrix, model-reviewer
  rejection, replay chain breaks, interval bracketing, partial-success
  coherence); `tsc --noEmit` clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2005'`, landed as `78135b41a5`.

## YSD-2008 — Schema publication, examples, compatibility tests (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete. Component-by-component against the item text: JSON
  Schema ✓ (17 draft-2020-12 schemas published from the registry); OpenAPI ✓
  (`openapi.components.json` 3.1 components document); runtime validation ✓ (zod
  layer, declared authoritative in the manifest); generated client — satisfied
  by the typed package (zod-inferred types are the generated client surface for
  TS consumers) plus the published schema set proven independently consumable
  via ajv in the spec suite; HTTP-API client generation explicitly belongs to
  YSD-1009 where service APIs exist — recorded here so the 22.3 audit can
  contest the interpretation; canonical examples ✓; negative examples ✓;
  backward-compatibility tests ✓.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `libs/contracts/src/study/schema-registry.ts` — the single publication
    registry (17 contracts); a contract cannot exist without entering the
    pipeline (manifest-vs-registry equality is tested).
  - `libs/contracts/scripts/generate-study-schemas.ts` — emits per-contract JSON
    Schema with versioned `$id`, the OpenAPI components doc, and a manifest
    carrying the runtime-vs-structural caveat; `--check` fails on drift or
    breaking changes; `--write-baseline` freezes the per-major snapshot
    (`schemas/study/baseline/v0/`); exports `findBreakingChanges` (removed
    contract/property, type change, enum narrowing, newly-required property,
    additionalProperties tightening, union narrowing) — the YSD-2010 detector
    foundation.
  - `libs/contracts/src/study/examples.ts` — canonical + structural-negative
    sets for all 17 contracts, plus `zodOnlyNegatives` pinning exactly where the
    runtime layer is stricter (cross-field refinements, formats).
  - `libs/contracts/src/study/schema-publication.spec.ts` — 7 tests: no-drift,
    example coverage for every contract, canonical examples pass BOTH zod and
    ajv-against-published-schema, structural negatives fail BOTH layers,
    runtime-only negatives fail zod, no breaking changes vs the committed
    baseline, and detector unit tests on synthetic diffs.
  - CI: `--check` added to the quality job; package scripts
    `generate:study-schemas` / `check:study-schemas`.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **39/39
  passed**; `npx tsx scripts/generate-study-schemas.ts --check` →
  `17 contracts published, no drift, no breaking changes vs baseline v0`.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2008'`, landed as `0ec646e9cf`
  (merge `822f3c900b`; generated schemas added to .prettierignore after the
  pre-commit prettier reformat broke byte-exact drift comparison — schemas and
  baseline regenerated to generator format).

## YSD-2009 + YSD-2010 — Property round-trips + compatibility policy (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (both items verified against their full text)
- **Artifacts:**
  - `libs/contracts/src/study/compat.ts` (YSD-2009) — the version-tolerant
    boundary: `SUPPORTED_STUDY_SCHEMA_VERSIONS`, `assertSupportedSchemaVersion`
    (explicit refusal of unknown versions), and `parseWithCompat` — strips ONLY
    pure unknown-key failures (a newer writer's optional fields), reports every
    stripped path, never mutates the caller's object, and refuses to rescue any
    real validation failure (mixed failures stay failures).
  - `libs/contracts/src/study/roundtrip.property.spec.ts` (YSD-2009) —
    fast-check property suites (fast-check added to the pnpm catalog):
    constructively-valid arbitraries for envelope/author/region/monotonic/
    locator/confidence; per-contract properties that (a) JSON wire round-trips
    are identity AND both serializer layers (zod runtime, ajv-compiled published
    schema) agree on 200 random instances each, and (b) unknown optional fields
    from a newer writer fail strict parsing but pass the compat boundary with
    knowns preserved and the injected key reported; 700-run drop-frame timecode
    round-trip property (29.97/59.94 DF + 24 non-drop); arbitrary-length
    superseding-chain lineage property; prior-supported-version suite (every
    supported version's canonical examples parse under the current runtime;
    unknown versions refused explicitly; compat never masks real failures).
  - `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/compatibility-policy.md` (YSD-2010) —
    semver rules (breaking=major with new baseline, additive=minor via the
    compat boundary, append-only history), the per-class table for
    contracts/events/taxonomies/saved-views/portable- exports with
    class-specific rules, the registry-as-chokepoint mechanism (a class entering
    the registry automatically enters CI breaking-change detection — no
    per-class opt-in to forget), support windows, and the no-self-approval
    escalation rule for claimed-safe breaking changes. Automated detection is
    live in CI (`--check` in the quality job) for everything published;
    events/taxonomies/views/exports enter it by construction when their schemas
    land.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **56/56
  passed** (17 new).
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2009'`, landed as `500ec3a395`.

## YSD-2020–YSD-2023 — StudyProject, StudyQuestion, SourceWork, SourceEdition (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (four items, each verified against its enumerated field
  list)
- **Artifacts (in `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/`):**
  - `study-project.ts` (YSD-2020) — all ten required facets: members (role enum,
    ≥1 owner enforced, unique userIds), purpose, curriculum (MetisConceptRefs),
    policies (RightsGrantIds), sources, notebooks (NisabaNotebookRefs),
    collections, target projects (yemaya-production/instrumented-game refs),
    archive state, and append-only membership history with `rosterFromHistory`
    replay (remove-wins, joinedAt stable across role changes — tested).
  - `study-question.ts` (YSD-2021) — question text, the exact four-state
    lifecycle (open/under-investigation/answered/abandoned) with a legal
    transition table including evidence-driven reopening, scope, originating
    context (description + optional anchor), linked evidence/
    comparisons/collections/exercises, and resolution history whose replay must
    equal the stored lifecycle (drift rejected); answers must cite ≥1 evidence
    anchor (YSD-2112 alignment).
  - `source-work.ts` (YSD-2022 + YSD-2023) — SourceWork with copy- independent
    identity, ambiguity-preserving identity candidates (closed certainty
    vocabulary — numeric pseudo-confidence rejected), and human-reviewed
    append-only merge events; SourceEdition with the full enumerated identity
    (cut/build/patch/platform/region/language/
    frame-rate/aspect/color/audio/subtitle), rational-only frame rates (floats
    rejected), sha256 content-hash immutable technical revision,
    game-builds-require-platform and frames-require-rate refinements.
  - All four registered in the publication registry (now 21 contracts) with
    canonical/structural-negative/zodOnly example sets — automatically inside
    the dual-layer validation and baseline compat pipeline.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **66/66
  passed** (10 entity tests + expanded publication coverage); tsc clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2020'`, landed as `5498a37c73`.

## YSD-2024–YSD-2027 — Alignment, SourceAsset, RightsGrant, MediaTrack (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (four items, each verified against its enumerated field
  list)
- **Artifacts (in `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/`):**
  - `alignment.ts` (YSD-2024) — EditionAlignmentMap pinning exact endpoint
    technical revisions (sha256), five construction methods, correspondence
    kinds exact/approximate/reordered/added/removed/rescored/regraded/ unmapped
    with side-presence rules (added has no source range, removed no target range
    — enforced), per-correspondence confidence + review state, EXPLICIT gaps
    (surfaced, never interpolated — YSD-2135), and anchor-migration PROPOSALS
    with index-validated correspondence links (proposals never self-apply —
    YSD-2133/2134).
  - `source-asset.ts` (YSD-2025 + YSD-2027) — SourceAsset covering all ten kinds
    with a storage discriminated union: owned bytes (object-store + content
    hash) XOR link-only provider references (stream references cannot store
    bytes and files cannot be links — YSD-4009 enforced both directions);
    rights-bound from birth (≥1 grant); engine assets/scenes must keep native
    identity; sidecar metadata objects. MediaTrack with all ten stream kinds,
    per-kind clock requirements (video⇒rational frame rate, audio⇒sample rate,
    custom⇒label).
  - `rights-grant.ts` (YSD-2026) — all fourteen enumerated facets; the twelve
    YSD-4002 actions as a closed deny-by-default vocabulary; model-training
    gated on unrevoked per-participant consent (YSD-4036 — revoked consent
    tested to not count); user-declared references quarantined from
    sharing/model/export actions (YSD-4010); attribution text required when
    flagged; validity ordering; ISO territory codes.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **76/76
  passed** (10 new); 25 contracts published; tsc clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2024'`, landed as `d4ef0debfd`.

## YSD-2028–YSD-2032 — Segment, EvidenceAnchor, StudyEntity, Detection, Observation (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (five items, each verified against its enumerated field
  list)
- **Artifacts (in `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/`):**
  - `anchor.ts` (YSD-2029) — the six-kind SourceLocator discriminated union
    (frame-range, frame-region, transcript-span with pinned exactText for
    tokenization-drift detection, document, runtime-event-range, spatial with
    nodePath-or-position rule) and EvidenceAnchor pinning exact edition + sha256
    technical revision, policy-permitted representations (YSD-2102 vocabulary),
    acquisition provenance, ≥1 rights-grant dependency, review state,
    envelope-immutable versioning, and the deep-link restore path.
  - `segment-entity.ts` (YSD-2028 + YSD-2030) — StudySegment with the film+game
    kind vocabulary plus labeled custom kinds (YSD-2071 — domain-native terms
    never coerced), hierarchy with self-parent rejection, pinned source
    revision, segmentation version, author, confidence, append-only corrections,
    and the born-accepted wall (model-authored segments must start suggested —
    YSD-0019); StudyEntity with the ten core kinds + domain-owned extensibility
    requiring owning domain + native kind, and the work-scope note (cross-work
    identity is a reviewed cross-reference, never implicit — YSD-2082).
  - `epistemic.ts` (YSD-2031 + YSD-2032) — Detection requiring processor code
    identity, exact configuration, analysisRunId (no orphan outputs — YSD-2113),
    ≥1 anchor (YSD-2112), confidence, review state, and applicable limitations;
    Observation as human-authored-by-type (model authorship structurally
    rejected — the epistemic wall of YSD-2108 at the contract layer), with
    modality, explicit scope, and ≥1 anchor.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **84/84
  passed** (8 new); 31 contracts published; tsc clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2028'`, landed as `ff941438b2`.

## YSD-2033–YSD-2036 — InterpretationClaim, CraftHypothesis, TaxonomyTerm, ComparisonSet (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (four items, each verified against its enumerated field
  list)
- **Artifacts (in `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/`):**
  - `claims.ts` (YSD-2033 + YSD-2034) — InterpretationClaim with the exact
    eight-status YSD-2109 epistemic vocabulary, mandatory support anchors
    (YSD-2112), first-class counterevidence, coexisting dissents (YSD-2111 — the
    original reading survives beside them, tested), corpus boundary,
    limitations, review history, and two walls: model authors are forced to
    model-suggested status (YSD-2108) and contested status must actually show
    dissent or counterevidence. CraftHypothesis with derivation requirement
    (claims or anchors), the four-value named causal-strength classification
    (numeric strength rejected), counterexamples, intended practice, contextual
    applicability, and the no-universal-laws rule (experimentally-tested
    requires limitations or counterexamples).
  - `taxonomy-comparison.ts` (YSD-2035 + YSD-2036) — TaxonomyTerm with owner
    domain, semver vocabulary version, preferred label, aliases,
    BCP-47-validated translations, provenance (YSD-4072 authorship),
    broader/narrower/related with self-relation rejection, applicability, and a
    lifecycle union where deprecation REQUIRES a migration rule. ComparisonSet
    with research question, stated inclusion logic, exclusions,
    example/counterexample members, index-validated pairwise alignments with
    frame offsets, five layouts with the 2–8 focused / matrix-beyond-8 rule
    (YSD-22011 at the contract layer), corpus boundary, collaborators, and
    revision-pinning frozen snapshots.

## YSD-2037–YSD-2040 — Inspiration, CrossReference, CreativePrinciple (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (four items, each verified against its enumerated field
  list)
- **Artifacts (in `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/`):**
  - `inspiration.ts` (YSD-2037 + YSD-2038) — InspirationCollection with creative
    question, target projects/concepts, intended audience effect, scope,
    exclusions, saved views (presentation-only state — spatial proximity never
    creates evidence relations, YSD-2154), collaborators, and a mandatory
    diversity posture; InspirationItem with all twelve facets — authorized
    anchor + restated rights binding, relevant aspect, intended effect/problem,
    principle/question links, a MANDATORY do-not-copy boundary (the
    YSD-4033/4035 transfer-safeguard seed), six-role vocabulary, mandatory
    attribution, cultural context, confidence, review, envelope versioning.
  - `cross-reference.ts` (YSD-2039 + YSD-2040) — CrossReference with the
    approved fifteen-relation vocabulary (YSD-0133, shared with YSD-2151),
    symmetric-relations-cannot-be-directed enforcement (YSD-2152),
    revision-pinned endpoints (YSD-2156), rationale/evidence/
    counterevidence/context-bounds/rights/validity, self-edge rejection, and the
    identity rules of YSD-2155 in the type system: identity edges cannot be born
    accepted and models cannot assert identity at all (similarity only).
    CreativePrinciple with abstracted wording, supporting AND contradicting
    sources, mandatory transformation rationale (the distance-from-source
    argument), limitations, review, outcome-typed track record, and project
    applicability.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **106/106
  passed** (11 new); 39 contracts published; tsc clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2037'`, landed as `7966c5a747`.

## YSD-2041–YSD-2043 — OriginalConcept, CreativeDecision, OutcomeEvidence (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (three items, each verified against its enumerated field
  list)
- **Artifacts (`libs/contracts/src/study/entities/creative.ts`):**
  - OriginalConcept (YSD-2041) — project-owned identity, seven concept kinds,
    typed self-rejecting relationships, rationale, envelope version history, and
    the two structural prohibitions: authorship is source-independent
    (humans/groups only — model and imported-system authors rejected) and the
    masquerade ban is architectural — the schema has NO locator/edition/anchor
    fields and .strict() rejects any attempt to add them (tested with
    editionId/locator/anchorId injections); source connection exists only
    through principle derivations and inspiration items.
  - CreativeDecision (YSD-2042) — all eleven facets; committed decisions must
    carry ≥1 principle/source path (the YSD-22013 source-to-decision trail) and
    ≥1 named approval, while proposed decisions may still be forming; immutable
    revisions via the envelope.
  - OutcomeEvidence (YSD-2043) — intended effect, four source kinds, consent
    evidence REQUIRED for playtests/screenings (YSD-4056) but not releases, ≥1
    anchor, five-value result vocabulary, human interpretation separate from the
    result value, mandatory uncertainty statement, linked decision, and
    epistemic identity fixed by literal to 'practice-result' (cannot claim
    source-fact status — YSD-2107).
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **115/115
  passed** (9 new); 42 contracts published; tsc clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2041'`, landed as `c47f8033ab`.

## YSD-2044–YSD-2048 — Notebook/StudyCard + learning-loop contracts (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (five items, each verified against its enumerated field
  list)
- **Artifacts (in `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/`):**
  - `notebook.ts` (YSD-2044) — StudyNotebook keyed by NISABA canonical identity
    (no workspace UUID field exists; injecting one is rejected — tested),
    source-grounded narrative with marker-deduplicated anchored citations, typed
    rights-aware embeds (authored representation from the YSD-2102 vocabulary;
    rights re-checked at view time), card refs, three-state publication where
    publishing requires ≥1 citation, and envelope versioning. StudyCard as the
    atomic cited insight (≥1 anchor mandatory) with optional claim/comparison
    distillation.
  - `learning.ts` (YSD-2045–2048) — PracticeExercise with objective, Metis
    concept, ≥1 constraint, behavior-anchored rubric (≥1 criterion), anchored
    examples requiring rights grants, expected evidence, accommodations,
    self-paced/due union, self-study/assigned union; PracticeAttempt
    learner-owned with ≥1 artifact, revisions, evidence-linked feedback with
    retained learner challenges (YSD-4077), reflection, structured scoped
    sharing consent with revocation, and the learner-deletion-request field
    feeding the YSD-3063 saga; MasteryRecord referencing the Metis canonical
    record with named-level+uncertainty estimate (numeric scores do not parse),
    system/human assessor union, history, and the taste wall as a literal
    (`measures: 'concept-mastery-only'` — taste/originality scoring
    unrepresentable, injection tested); SpacedReviewItem with the four source
    kinds (card/claim/term/drill), FSRS schedule state, explicit scheduler
    version, anchors, mandatory discrimination target, rating-typed review
    history, and rights-permitted derivative references.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **126/126
  passed** (11 new); 48 contracts published; tsc clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2044'`, landed as `a6e34e44b0`.

## YSD-2049–YSD-2052 — Transfer, AnalysisRun, ReviewDecision, fixtures capstone (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete — **Section 2.2 is now 33/33**
- **Artifacts:**
  - `entities/transfer-run-review.ts` — ProjectTransfer (YSD-2049) whose payload
    union contains ONLY abstract kinds (principle/constraint/ question/task — a
    media payload is unrepresentable, YSD-4035), with destination, produced
    artifact, sanctioning decisions (≥1), rights review state, inspectable
    advisory originality warnings (YSD-4038), recorded-never-silent blocked
    content with typed blocked classes, backlink, and downstream impact refs.
    AnalysisRun (YSD-2050) with all eleven facets and four lifecycle coherence
    rules (cancelled⇒who+why, failed⇒failures, succeeded⇒outputs — success
    without outputs is not success, queued/running⇒no actual cost).
    ReviewDecision (YSD-2051) with reviewer authority vocabulary, five actions,
    correct⇒corrections, supersede⇒higher version, prior/new versions, conflict
    context, timestamp, and canonical audit event identity.
  - `fixtures.ts` + `scripts/generate-study-goldens.ts` +
    `fixtures-golden.spec.ts` (YSD-2052) — deterministic builders (no
    randomness, no clock, no restricted media, schema-validated construction)
    covering every published contract with minimal + complete cases, and ALL
    seVEN required case kinds: prior-version (oldest supported schema version),
    rejected (every reviewable contract), rights-expired (grant with ended
    validity + revocation), contested (claim with retained dissent), superseded
    (built through the real superseding() helper for every enveloped contract),
    plus soft-deleted deletion cases; **213 golden fixture cases** committed and
    byte-compared, with the golden check wired into CI beside the schema check.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **131/131
  passed**; goldens `--check` green; 51 contracts published; tsc clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2049'`, landed as `fe41f98ed4`.

## YSD-2070–YSD-2077 — Hierarchy + film/game anchors + sync contract (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (eight items, each verified against its enumerated
  vocabulary)
- **Artifacts (in `libs/contracts/src/study/anchors/`):**
  - `hierarchy.ts` (YSD-2070/2071) — the ten ordered levels verbatim from the
    item text; depth/legality helpers (child strictly finer, skipping allowed,
    inversion rejected); the native-term map carrying film AND game vocabulary
    onto shared levels without coercion (round ≡ shot in level, not in name;
    unknown terms return null — never guessed); HierarchyNodeSemantics with
    parent/order/overlap/provenance.
  - `film.ts` (YSD-2072/2073) — FilmStructureAnchor with the full thirteen-kind
    structural vocabulary (reel…word, frame, region, language-track), edition +
    sha256 revision pinning, rational frame rate + optional SMPTE timecode,
    per-kind data rules (region⇒region, word/line/track⇒language track);
    FilmEntityAnchor with the twelve entity kinds and audio-side kinds requiring
    their audio track.
  - `game.ts` (YSD-2074–2077) — GameIdentityAnchor with all nine identity facets
    (explicit empty-mods assertion, capture configuration, content-manifest
    hash); GameSessionAnchor with the twelve session kinds, locator-required
    rule, save-states requiring engine-native refs; GameEntityAnchor with the
    twelve entity kinds carrying engine-native identity; SessionSyncContract as
    a TWO-variant union — deterministic replay (seed + input-stream hash) or
    video-clock mapping with MANDATORY uncertaintyMs — no third option exists,
    so unstated sync error is unrepresentable.
  - All seven anchor contracts registered (58 published contracts; 227 golden
    cases).
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **142/142
  passed** (11 new); tsc clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2070'`, landed as `efd67632c2`.

## YSD-2078–YSD-2084 — Document/still/3D/level anchors + identity, canon, deep links (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete — **Section 2.3 is now 15/15**
- **Artifacts (in `libs/contracts/src/study/anchors/`):**
  - `document-still.ts` (YSD-2078/2079) — DocumentAnchor addressing
    document/edition/page/panel/block/line/word with rectangular OR polygonal
    regions and page/ordinal/char-span rules; StillImageAnchor pinning image
    revision + canvas, optional layer (never fabricated for flat formats),
    pixel/normalized region union with out-of-canvas rejection, review-gated
    detected entities, palette regions with sRGB-validated dominance-ordered
    colors, and user guides (line/curve/silhouette-trace/grid).
  - `three-d.ts` (YSD-2080/2081) — Asset3DAnchor with all fifteen kinds and
    per-kind data obligations (vertex/face sets enumerate indices,
    uv-island/material-slot carry ordinals, texture regions carry regions,
    clips/time-samples carry names+times), engine-native paths verbatim;
    LevelSceneAnchor with the ten level kinds, native refs, and gameplay
    references naming their system.
  - `identity-canon.ts` (YSD-2082/2083) — CrossViewIdentityCandidate with five
    evidence bases, MANDATORY uncertainty, and two walls: appearance-only
    identity can never be accepted (corroborating bases required) and model
    proposals stay suggested/contested. Canonicalization/equality: exact
    cross-rate frame-time equality by rational cross-multiplication (unreduced
    23.976 forms equal; same frame number at different rates correctly unequal;
    24@24fps == 25@25fps == 1s), transcript tokenization drift fails loudly via
    pinned exactText, pixel↔normalized equivalence with explicit one-pixel
    tolerance, and telemetry-clock cross-domain comparison returning null —
    never a silent boolean.
  - `deep-link.ts` (YSD-2084) — loss-free URL encoding (canonical key-sorted
    JSON in base64url) restoring exact edition + revision + locator + entity +
    permitted view; deterministic; malformed links throw typed errors;
    round-trip verified for every locator kind including a unicode transcript
    span, plus a 100-run property test.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **155/155
  passed** (24 anchors tests); tsc clean. One test-authoring error caught and
  fixed: the unreduced-rate equality case had doubled the frame count (1001s ≠
  2002s) — corrected to same-count-same-time.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2078'`, landed as `c95d73e57e`.

## YSD-2101/2103/2109–2113 — Epistemic integrity contracts + invariant suites (2026-07-18)

- **Status:** complete (seven items). YSD-2100/2102/2104/2105/2106/2107/ 2108
  remain deliberately unchecked: their contract halves exist (pinned identity,
  representation vocabulary, rights binding, display predicate,
  authorship/review models, distinct epistemic types) but the items demand
  runtime/UI/persistence ENFORCEMENT that lands with Sections 3/5/7 — no
  under-verified marking.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `entities/compound-locator.ts` (YSD-2101) — conjunction of 2–10 distinct
    component locators (frame range + region + transcript span + entity +
    runtime events + document location all combinable), duplicate components
    rejected, mandatory conjunction rationale; registered + published.
  - EvidenceAnchor `derivation` (YSD-2103, additive) — parent anchors (≥1)
    - processor/codeVersion/model/configuration, completing acquisition method +
      source revision + processor + model + code + configuration + derivation
      lineage on evidence.
  - InterpretationClaim additive fields (YSD-2110) — named supportStrength
    (single-source→corpus-wide), reviewerAgreement tally, culturalContextBounds;
    joins existing counterevidence/corpus-boundary/ limitations to complete the
    item's stored set.
  - YSD-2111 verified complete on existing artifacts: the Dissent model
    (coexisting readings tested — original survives beside dissent) plus the
    `contradiction` relation type for contradictory claims.
  - `epistemic-invariants.spec.ts` (YSD-2112/2113 + 2109 closure) — the six
    unanchored-rejection invariants (analysis, observation, claim, comparison
    member, inspiration item, feedback item) and the identity invariants (no
    machine output without run + processor code version; no interpretation
    without epistemic status + author); closed-vocabulary assertion for the
    eight governed statuses.
  - **Pre-release tightening, documented:** YSD-2112 exposed that feedback items
    could be unanchored (evidenceAnchorIds had no minimum) — real gap, fixed to
    min(1). Per the compatibility policy this is breaking; handled as a
    documented pre-release tightening: STUDY_CONTRACTS_VERSION 0.1.0→0.2.0,
    0.1.0 retained in the supported list, baseline v0 regenerated same-day
    (nothing consumes v0 externally yet). Recorded here rather than silently.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **168/168
  passed** (13 new invariants); 59 published contracts; 229 golden cases; tsc
  clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2101'`.

## 2026-07-18 — YSD-2132, YSD-2133, YSD-2134, YSD-2135, YSD-2137 (Section 2.5: alignment provenance + anchor migration)

- **Scope:** the migration-logic half of Section 2.5. Deliberately left
  unchecked: YSD-2130 (manual authoring/review UI — Studio surface, Section 7),
  YSD-2131 (real audio-fingerprint/shot-structure/subtitle/telemetry proposal
  pipelines — media plane, Section 5), YSD-2136 (build/patch map persistence +
  revalidation task queue — Section 3/5; the contract SHAPE is exercised here
  but live-service revalidation scheduling is not built yet).
- **Artifacts (libs/contracts/src/study/):**
  - Correspondence `processor` (YSD-2132, additive) — optional
    codeVersion/modelId/modelVersion object on each correspondence, completing
    the stored set: kind + method + model/code version + confidence +
    source/target ranges + review state (the rest already existed on
    `EditionAlignmentMap`/`Correspondence` from YSD-2064).
  - `entities/anchor-migration.ts` (YSD-2133/2134/2135) — pure deterministic
    logic. `proposeAnchorMigrations(map, anchors)`: throws unless the map is
    accepted (proposals never come from suggested/contested/rejected maps) and
    unless every anchor sits on the map's exact source edition + technical
    revision; output is proposals + gap notices only — nothing self-applies
    (YSD-2133). Anchors overlapping explicit gaps or removed/added/reordered/
    rescored/regraded correspondences return `MigrationGapNotice` with a reason
    and are never interpolated (YSD-2135); only ACCEPTED exact/approximate
    correspondences that fully contain the anchor range map it, by exact offset
    arithmetic. `confirmAnchorMigration` requires a human/collaborative-group
    ACCEPTING ReviewEvent (model reviewers and non-accepting events throw),
    parses the result through `EvidenceAnchorSchema`, and returns
    `{ migrated, original }` — the original is untouched so rollback = drop the
    migrated anchor.
  - EvidenceAnchor `migratedFromAnchorId` (YSD-2134, additive) — both ends of
    the lineage persist: the migrated anchor names its origin; the original
    remains valid on its own edition.
  - `entities/anchor-migration.spec.ts` (YSD-2137) — the five named categories
    over a representative theatrical→director's-cut map (censor-cut removal,
    -500 offset shift, reorder, added material, plus a REJECTED overlapping
    correspondence) and a game build→patch telemetry-landmark map: accuracy
    (known-correct offset-mapped target frames, both offsets),
    false-correspondence (rejected correspondence covering the same frames is
    never chosen), gap-detection (censor cut, boundary straddle, reorder → gap
    notices with reasons, "not interpolated" asserted), anchor-migration (human
    confirmation → lineage both ends; model reviewer and contested events
    rejected), rollback (original returned untouched, `migratedFromAnchorId`
    absent on it). End-to-end re-verification against real media rides Section
    5's pipelines.
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **176/176
  passed** (8 new); 61 schema artifacts regenerated + baseline v0 (additive
  only: optional `processor`, optional `migratedFromAnchorId`); 229 golden cases
  byte-stable; tsc clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2133'`.

## 2026-07-18 — YSD-2150..YSD-2159 (Section 2.6: typed relationship graph contracts)

- **Scope:** the full graph contract layer — vocabulary, per-relation semantics,
  presentation separation, permission model, query contracts with reference
  algorithms, and structural invariants. PostgreSQL-side enforcement and the
  Studio graph surface ride Sections 3/6/7 on these contracts.
- **Artifacts (libs/contracts/src/study/):**
  - `GRAPH_NODE_KINDS` (YSD-2150) — 29 addressable node kinds: the 25 proposal
    kinds (corpus, work, edition/build, sequence, scene, encounter, shot, beat,
    frame, image, region, entity, material, palette, pose, motion, sound,
    transcript, runtime-event, document-passage, claim, principle,
    original-concept, creative-decision, production-artifact) plus the four
    workspace record kinds already addressable as endpoints (anchor, segment,
    comparison-set, inspiration-item). CrossReference endpoints now accept all
    of them (enum widening — additive).
  - YSD-2151 verified complete on the existing `RELATION_TYPES` — exactly the
    fifteen approved relations, asserted by count and name in tests.
  - `RELATION_SPECS` (YSD-2152) — one spec per relation: directionality (5
    symmetric / 10 directed; `SYMMETRIC_RELATIONS` now DERIVED from the table so
    they cannot drift), forward + inverse plain-language labels, one-line
    description, endpoint kind constraints (support/contradiction/counterexample
    land on claim|principle; derived-principle on principle; informed-decision
    on creative-decision; avoidance originates from the creative plane; identity
    requires same-kind endpoints), transitivity policy (never-infer /
    path-display-only / ordering-composes — nothing ever materializes stored
    edges), and acyclicity. Parse-level enforcement added to
    CrossReferenceSchema (directed coherence + endpoint constraints) — zod-side
    rules on the pre-release 0.2.0 contract; JSON-schema layer is purely
    additive (endpoint enum widening + optional field), so the baseline compat
    check stays green by construction.
  - Correspondence `culturalBounds` — first-class optional cultural scope on
    edges (YSD-2153) so cultural claims are never smuggled into generic context
    text; the item's full stored set (rationale, author or suggesting model,
    time, confidence, review state, evidence, counterevidence, context bounds,
    cultural bounds, rights dependencies, validity, supersession) asserted
    present in one test.
  - `entities/graph.ts` (YSD-2154..2159) —
    - Presentation state (YSD-2154): CanvasPlacement/CanvasGroup/ SavedGraphView
      are .strict() with no relation fields — a placement literally cannot
      express a relationship; tests prove adjacent + co-grouped nodes produce no
      backlinks, no paths, and two singleton clusters.
    - YSD-2155: `identityMergeCandidates` returns ACCEPTED identity edges and
      nothing else — an accepted maximally-confident similarity edge is asserted
      to never be a merge candidate; suggested identity stays provisional
      (born-accepted ban and model-author ban already parse-level from
      YSD-2039).
    - YSD-2156: endpoint revisions pinned via refRevision (existing);
      `supersedeEdgeForEndpointChange` requires an accepting
      human/collaborative-group ReviewEvent, uses the envelope `superseding()`
      lineage, pins the new endpoint revision on the successor, keeps the old
      revision historical; stale revisions, non-accepting reviews, and model
      reviewers throw.
    - YSD-2157: `GraphPermissionEvaluator` applied to EVERY node, edge, and
      derived result in every function — an edge to a hidden node disappears
      entirely (no existence leakage); tests show hidden nodes break paths,
      vanish from neighborhoods, and zero out dependency-impact.
    - YSD-2158: backlinks (bidirectional, per-side plain-language labels),
      findPaths (bounded simple-path enumeration with hop directions),
      neighborhood (bounded BFS reporting `truncated` honestly),
      connectedClusters (union-find), dependencyImpact (forward closure over
      support/derived-principle/informed-decision/ transformation with edge
      paths + severed-edge list), GraphTraversalFilter on every function
      (relation/kind/review/ superseded filters), SavedGraphView (grouping +
      saved views), and GraphQueryRequest — a discriminated union whose bounds
      are schema-enforced (an unbounded neighborhood request does not parse).
      Both new schemas registered + published (63 artifacts, 233 golden cases).
    - YSD-2159: `checkGraphInvariants` over RAW stored records — broken
      endpoints, orphaned projections (placements + group members), permission
      leakage, cyclic derivation exactly where the relation spec says acyclic
      (mutual influence legal, derived-principle cycles flagged), invalid
      relation kinds, endpoint-constraint violations, and supersession
      continuity (latest-revision-superseded, unmarked-old-revision, and
      revision-chain-jump all detected).
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run src/study` (libs/contracts) — **199/199
  passed** (23 new in graph.spec.ts); tsc clean; adversarial stub scan clean on
  all three touched files.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-2152'`.

## 2026-07-18 — YSD-1004 (libs/yemaya/study-workspace: client-neutral core)

- **Scope:** the workspace core library the proposal's platform plane composes:
  use cases, orchestration policies, normalized read models, and dependency
  interfaces. No HTTP/SQL/filesystem — the service composes these over real
  adapters; Section 3 persistence and Section 4's rights resolver implement the
  ports.
- **Artifacts (libs/yemaya/study-workspace/):**
  - Registered Nx project `yemaya-study-workspace` with tags `scope:yemaya` +
    `plane:experience` (the architecture checker now discovers and validates it:
    "2 experience-plane project(s)"), path alias `@yemaya/study-workspace` in
    tsconfig.base.json, workspace dep on `@oshun/contracts`, lint/test/typecheck
    targets.
  - `ports.ts` — Clock, IdGenerator, StudyWorkspaceStore (get returns current
    revision or null, never a default), AuditSink (allows AND denials are audit
    events), typed UnknownRecordError.
  - `policies/rights-gate.ts` — deny-by-default evaluation over RightsGrant
    records: subject scoping (work-wide covers editions; edition/asset-scoped
    cover only themselves), supersession/deletion state, revocation, validity
    window, territory (ISO 3166 or WORLDWIDE), explicit action membership.
    Denials carry the specific per-grant reasons; the empty-reason denial IS the
    deny-by-default floor.
  - `policies/review-gate.ts` — applies a ReviewEvent to a stored record:
    subject-id match, revision pin match, from-state match, then the contract's
    legal-transition + acceptance-authority rules; produces the next revision
    via envelope `superseding()` — history append-only.
  - Use cases: `createStudyProject` (creator becomes owner; membership event
    trail starts at creation), `authorizePlayback` (rights-gated; both outcomes
    audited with reasons), `recordObservation` (referential integrity: anchors
    must exist and be active; epistemic wall enforced by contract),
    `reviewRecord` (one path for observations and claims; persists next
    revision + appends the immutable event),
    `planAnchorMigration`/`confirmPlannedMigration` (honest planning:
    off-revision anchors listed, never guessed; human-review confirmation via
    the YSD-2133..2135 contract logic).
  - Read models: `buildProjectOverview` (counts over current revisions, open
    reviews = suggested+contested, rights buckets active/expiring-
    within-30-days/expired/revoked vs a caller-supplied instant),
    `buildAnchorContext` (observations + supporting/counterevidence claims
    joined per anchor; per-ELEMENT visibility mirroring YSD-2157 — a hidden
    anchor yields null, not an empty shell).
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run` (libs/yemaya/study-workspace) — **15/15
  passed** against in-memory ports; tsc clean (lib + spec); eslint clean;
  architecture checker green; adversarial stub scan clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1004'`.

## 2026-07-18 — YSD-1016, YSD-1017 (fixture factories verified; adversarial stub scan gated)

- **YSD-1016 verified complete on existing artifacts** —
  `libs/contracts/src/study/fixtures.ts` (read in full this session):
  deterministic, schema-validated factories with zero randomness/clock and no
  restricted media (object keys and text stand in for bytes), covering every
  family the item names: sources (SourceWork), editions (SourceEdition), rights
  grants (RightsGrant + buildRightsExpiredGrant), tracks (MediaTrack), anchors
  (EvidenceAnchor + GameSessionAnchor), epistemic objects
  (Observation/Detection/InterpretationClaim + buildContestedClaim), graphs
  (CrossReference + SavedGraphView), attempts (PracticeAttempt), sessions
  (GameSessionAnchor + SessionSyncContract), and deletion cases
  (buildSoftDeletedFixture, plus
  buildSupersededFixture/buildRejectedFixture/buildPriorVersionFixture). Case
  builders exercised by fixtures-golden.spec.ts (5 tests) and the 233 golden
  cases.
- **YSD-1017 implemented** — `tools/yemaya-study/check-stub-scan.mjs`:
  study-workspace-scoped adversarial scanner over the service, every
  `libs/yemaya/study-*` lib, every domain study adapter, and the study
  contracts. Six checks matching the item: placeholder-success comments,
  hard-coded fixture payloads in production paths (fixture builders outside
  contracts' own fixture/example modules), empty function/adapter bodies,
  ignored authorization (rights decision discarded at statement level),
  unimplemented destructive operations (empty delete/remove/ erase/purge/expire
  bodies), and silent catches (empty, or fabricating success without rethrow/log
  — real brace-matched catch-body analysis). Suppression uses the repo-wide
  end-of-line `stub:legitimate <reason>` convention; fail-loud seams are
  documented non-findings. **Gate proven to fail:** a planted probe file tripped
  all six categories (7 findings, exit 1) and the scan returned green after
  removal — not a self-asserting gate. Wired into the CI lint job after
  check-architecture.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1017'`.

## 2026-07-19 — YSD-1012, YSD-1014, YSD-1018 (env schemas complete; flags/kill switches; development docs)

- **YSD-1014** — `libs/yemaya/study-workspace/src/policies/feature-flags.ts`:
  flags and kill switches across all eight governed axes — source class (the
  twelve Section 5.1 acquisition surfaces), analyzer (the six Section 5.4 signal
  families), provider (OPEN-keyed and default-DENY: a provider works only when
  `STUDY_FLAGS_ENABLE=provider:<id>` names it), export type (Section 15
  formats), game connector, graph suggestion mode, live session, and transfer
  destination (TargetProjectRef kinds). Precedence: PERMANENTLY DISABLED (the
  three prohibited surveillance analyzers mirrored from the architecture
  checker, plus `graph-suggestion:identity` per YSD-2155) > KILL (reported
  distinctly from a flag disable) > DISABLE > default. Unknown axes/keys deny
  loudly; enabling a permanently disabled key is a STARTUP ERROR naming the
  policy, not a silent ignore. 8 new lib tests.
- **YSD-1012** — completed: the service env schema
  (`apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace/src/config.ts`) already failed fast on
  missing production values and pretty-logs-in-production; it now also parses
  the three `STUDY_FLAGS_*` vars through the lib at startup, so unknown flag
  axes/keys, enable+kill/enable+disable on one key, and permanently-disabled
  enables all abort boot with the full issue list (2 new service tests; 17/17
  pass). Client half verified honestly: the studio study route reads NO env
  settings today (grep-verified — no `process.env`/`NEXT_PUBLIC` in the study
  page/component), so every setting that exists is schema-validated; new client
  settings must extend this pattern when Section 7 lands.
- **YSD-1018** — `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/DEVELOPMENT.md`: local
  setup (compose + pnpm + serve, flag env syntax), seed loading via the
  deterministic source-safe fixture factories (no restricted media by contract),
  targeted verification (per-project vitest/tsc + the seven CI checkers + drift
  checks), troubleshooting (worktree Nx bypass, SKIP_TYPECHECK escape, drift
  regeneration, stub-scan suppression, boot-refusal semantics), and cleanup
  (compose down, PID/port hygiene). Every command exists today.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1014'`.

## 2026-07-19 — YSD-1008, YSD-1015 (registration verified; supported baselines defined)

- **YSD-1008 verified complete on existing artifacts** — all eight named
  components exist and are enforced for the three study projects (libs/contracts
  study slice, apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace, libs/yemaya/study-workspace):
  project.json registrations with Nx lint/test/typecheck (+build/serve for the
  service) targets; package manifests with workspace/catalog deps; per-project
  tsconfig trees; path aliases (`@yemaya/study-workspace`,
  `@oshun/contracts/study` package export); tags `scope:yemaya` +
  `plane:experience` (validated by check-architecture.mjs); ownership metadata
  (.github/CODEOWNERS lines 103–104: libs/yemaya + apps/yemaya → @GreyChimp;
  domains.json yemaya entry); dependency constraints (eslint.config.js
  plane:experience onlyDependOnLibsWithTags + type:study-adapter
  no-cross-adapter rules, read in place this session).
- **YSD-1015** — `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/supported-baselines.md`:
  tiered desktop/OS, browser (grounded in the existing Playwright device matrix:
  Desktop Chrome + Pixel 7 primary, Firefox/WebKit secondary smoke), hardware
  (4-core/8GB no-GPU CI profile; GPU work stays a fail-loud RunPod seam — the
  sandbox has no GPU), media-decoder (H.264/VP9 primary, HEVC
  capability-detected; lossy re-encodes of watermarked evidence prohibited in
  fixtures), assistive-technology (keyboard-only + ARIA snapshots as primary CI
  gates per YSD-1037, VoiceOver manual at release, zoom/reduced-motion/
  forced-colors rules), locale (en primary, RTL pseudo-locale smoke, ICU-only
  formatting), and network (throttled + offline-transition profiles wired to the
  resumable-upload and offline-queue test items). Explicit rule: unlisted
  environments are UNSUPPORTED-UNTESTED and support claims for them are
  forbidden until they join the matrix.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1015'`.

## 2026-07-19 — YSD-1007 (Aja study adapter: honest wrap, no fabrication laundering)

- **Scope:** `libs/aja/study-adapter` (tags `scope:aja` + `type:study-adapter`;
  the architecture checker now discovers and validates it: "1 study adapter(s)
  scanned"; the stub scan now covers it as a fourth root). YSD-1006 (adapter
  packages across owners, plural) stays open — this is the first adapter and the
  pattern.
- **The point of this adapter:** apps/aja/svc-reference-video's FFprobe
  metadata, scene detection, and remote ingest paths are SIMULATED (verified by
  reading the source; the capability table cites file:line for each), and its
  default in-memory search path fabricates quality scores. Per YSD-1007 the
  adapter does not fork the source and does not fabricate product-ready behavior
  over those paths: simulated capabilities return typed refusals with status
  `unavailable-simulated-backing`, the reason, and the source evidence — they
  never invoke the backing code.
- **Artifacts:** `capabilities.ts` (evidence-backed truth table +
  `unsupported()` typed-refusal builder), `adapter.ts` (`createAjaStudyAdapter`:
  capability discovery reflecting runtime injection state;
  `searchReferenceClips` is dependency-inverted — the composing application
  injects a `ReferenceClipSearchBacking` wired to real Qdrant/Meilisearch
  indexes, hits pass through with domain-native videoIds untouched and matchKind
  surfaced; absent injection the adapter REFUSES with `requires-backing-config`
  rather than falling back to the fabricating in-memory path). Path alias
  `@aja/study-adapter`.
- **Deliberately not marked:** YSD-0163 (conformance round-trips — needs anchors
  flowing through adapters), YSD-0164 (cross-domain architecture tests),
  YSD-1006 (adapters across all accountable owners).
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run` (libs/aja/study-adapter) — **5/5 passed**;
  tsc clean (lib + spec); architecture checker + stub scan green with the
  adapter included.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1007'`.

## 2026-07-19 — YSD-1011, YSD-1013 (dev composition verified; secrets separation)

- **YSD-1011 verified complete on existing artifacts** — read
  `docker/docker-compose.dev.yml` in place: every named component exists with
  safe test defaults — PostgreSQL (pgvector/pg16 with the `yemaya` database in
  POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES, plus pgbouncer), object storage (MinIO + bucket
  bootstrap), jobs/events (Redis core + Kafka/Zookeeper under the `streaming`
  profile), search projection (Elasticsearch under `search`), vector projection
  (Qdrant under `vectors`), graph projection (Neo4j 5 under `graph`),
  observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Jaeger under `observability`), plus Mailpit
  and admin `tools`. Credentials are worthless dev-only values (oshun/oshun_dev,
  minioadmin) bound locally. Docker 29.5.3 confirmed runnable on-box (Section 3
  integration tests can use it). DEVELOPMENT.md already documents usage.
- **YSD-1013** — `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/secrets-separation.md`:
  the six categories (operational secrets, source credentials, signing keys,
  provider tokens, model credentials, user-export data) mapped to distinct
  stores with distinct grants (Secrets Manager path prefixes per category,
  KMS-held signing keys that sign rather than being fetched, a dedicated exports
  namespace whose encryption key is not an operational key), the load-bearing
  naming convention, and the worthless-dev-defaults rule. Code enforcement:
  `redactedConfigSummary()` in the service config — an explicit allowlist logged
  at startup where DATABASE_URL reduces to host:port/database; test proves
  credentials (user and password) never serialize into the summary and flags DO
  appear (operators see policy, not secrets). Service suite 18/18.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1013'`.

## 2026-07-19 — YSD-3001..3005, YSD-3010 (PostgreSQL authoritative model, verified against a real instance)

- **Migration**
  `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace/migrations/0001_study_authoritative_model.sql`:
  - **YSD-3001** — 21 revisioned record tables in a new `study` schema: all
    twenty named families (project, question, source work, edition, asset,
    rights, track, segment, anchor, entity, epistemic [observation+detection],
    comparison, inspiration, graph [cross_reference], learning
    [practice_attempt], transfer, analysis, review [review_event], outcome,
    audit [audit_event]) plus edition_alignment_map. Uniform envelope column
    block mirroring StudyRecordEnvelope + contract-validated `payload` +
    extracted hot-path columns (anchor edition/hash, grant subject,
    cross-reference endpoints both directions, alignment source/target).
  - **YSD-3002** — `native_id_map` (source_system, native_id, family →
    record_id): native identifiers mapped, never replaced; store methods
    - integration test.
  - **YSD-3003** — tenant_id NOT NULL + (tenant, project) index on every family;
    RLS enabled with a tenant-isolation policy per table (row-level
    authorization support; app roles get isolation, owner bypass documented);
    immutable revision keys (PK (id, revision) + immutability trigger allowing
    ONLY the supersession marker and legal deletion-state transitions; DELETE
    forbidden); soft-deleted / legal-hold / tombstoned states with a legal
    transition graph (legal-hold is reversible and blocks tombstoning — tested);
    `deletion_tombstone` table.
  - **YSD-3004** — envelope CHECKs (revision chain, supersedes = revision-1,
    superseded-by = revision+1); supersession uniqueness (partial unique index:
    one current revision per id); legal review transitions + model-acceptance
    ban as a trigger on append-only review_event; source-version identity
    (anchor edition_id + sha256-checked technical_revision_hash NOT NULL, plus a
    referential trigger refusing anchors onto editions with no current row).
  - **YSD-3005** — optimistic concurrency: superseding revision N marks the old
    row in the same transaction as inserting N+1 with
    `WHERE superseded_by_revision IS NULL`; losing the race raises
    ConcurrentEditError; accepted history is append-only by trigger.
- **Runner** `src/persistence/migrate.ts` — per-file transactions, sha256
  checksums, idempotent re-runs, refuses edited-after-apply
  (MigrationDriftError); rollback guidance in the migration header (additive
  schema; DROP SCHEMA study CASCADE backs it out).
- **Store** `src/persistence/postgres-store.ts` — implements the lib's
  StudyWorkspaceStore port; every read parses through the contract schema
  (drifted rows fail loudly); PostgresAuditSink appends to the append-only audit
  table.
- **YSD-3010** — `postgres-store.integration.spec.ts` ran against the REAL
  dev-compose PostgreSQL 16.14 (started this session): **13/13 passed** covering
  every named path — success (project/anchor/ observation round-trips),
  duplicate (PK violation), conflict + concurrent edit (second supersession from
  one revision → ConcurrentEditError, first edit wins), rollback (corrupted
  second write aborts the marker update atomically), rights change (grant
  supersession visible; exactly one current revision) and expiry (evaluateRights
  denies on the stored expired revision), deletion (tombstone flow removes from
  reads, leaves tombstone row) — plus trigger proofs (immutability, no-delete,
  illegal review transition, model acceptance, append-only audit, anchor→edition
  referential) and runner idempotence/drift. When the database is unreachable
  the suite SKIPS with the compose command printed — never a fake pass.
- **Deliberately not marked:** YSD-3006 (repositories for EVERY aggregate — the
  port's aggregates are covered; question/segment/
  entity/comparison/learning/transfer repositories come with their feature
  sections), YSD-3007 (pagination/bulk), YSD-3008 (rollback
  drills/seed/compat/zero-downtime verification), YSD-3009 (explain-plan tests).
- **Test command:** `npx vitest run` (svc-study-workspace) — 31/31 (18 unit + 13
  integration); tsc clean; stub scan clean.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-3001'`.

## 2026-07-19 — YSD-1006 (domain adapter packages under accountable owners)

- **Nine new adapter packages** —
  `libs/{nisaba,sophia,hathor,euterpe,aglaea,bellona,metis,isis,neith}/study-adapter`
  — completing the YSD-0150 convention alongside the existing
  `libs/aja/study-adapter` (YSD-1007). Oshun and Iris are deliberately NOT
  adapters (YSD-0161/0162: consumed through platform libs). Each package: tags
  `[scope:<owner>, type:lib, type:study-adapter, layer:domain]` (the existing
  `plane:experience`/`type:study-adapter` eslint depConstraints from YSD-0121
  bind them; adapters cannot import each other), CODEOWNERS covered by the
  per-domain `libs/<owner>/` globs, path alias in tsconfig.base.json, workspace
  deps on the owner's real libraries.
- **Shared seam** — `libs/contracts/src/study/adapter.ts` (new): the
  `StudyDomainAdapter` interface (domain, contractVersion, capabilities(),
  nativeRef()), `capabilityDescriptor()` (validated `<domain>.<capability>` keys
  against the YSD-2007 `CapabilityDescriptorSchema`),
  `unsupportedResponse()`/`unavailableResponse()` constructors,
  `buildNativeRef()` (verbatim native-identity wrapper over
  `DomainNativeObjectRefSchema` with an explicit no-mutation recheck), and
  `StudyCapabilityTableSchema` (unique-key truth-table validation).
- **Every capability status is grounded in code read this session with file:line
  evidence embedded in the descriptor detail.** Wired = genuinely real domain
  logic; refusals are honest fail-loud seams:
  - **nisaba**: wired standoff annotation authoring (selector-union,
    standoff-annotations.ts:158/:234/:248), study-plan generation
    (study-plans.ts:211), passage comparison (TF-IDF cosine :2479, motif Jaccard
    :2492). Refusals: persistent-notebooks unavailable (Prisma models exist,
    apps/nisaba does not), media-study-selectors unsupported (YSD-0113:
    text-shaped selectors only). Deliberately did NOT wire
    buildNisabaCrossDomainBridge (tara/arete-specific, wrong fit).
  - **sophia**: wired citation keys (provenance.ts:57) and dependency-inverted
    transcript anchoring (VideoTranscriptAdapter needs an injected
    VideoTranscriber :52 — capability upgrades to supported only when injected;
    refuses otherwise). Refusals: semantic-retrieval, evidence-persistence
    unavailable; creative-quality-ranking unsupported (must-not).
  - **hathor**: wired pacing analysis (narrative/manager.ts:491) and editing
    rhythm (cinematography/manager.ts:946) — both genuinely computed. HONEST
    FINDING: DefaultColorTheory.generatePalette returns PRESET palettes not
    computed from the base color (manager.ts:599-660) → color-palette-theory
    unavailable rather than dressed up as supported; mda-lens-outputs
    unavailable (in-memory design CRUD, not anchor-bound lens outputs).
  - **euterpe**: wired pitch-class-set analysis (set-theory.ts:242/:302/:688),
    loudness (mix-analysis.ts:89/:102/:807 meterLoudness K-weighting), voice
    pitch (voice-analysis.ts:568). Refusals: hosted-analysis-service unavailable
    (no service exists — apps/euterpe has only studio-web);
    speaker-identification unsupported (YSD-4052 policy).
  - **aglaea**: wired fabric knowledge + comfort scoring
    (performance-database.ts:16, comfort-scorer.ts:220), era analysis
    (decade-database.ts:15, era-analyzer.ts:860/:1024), regional dress profiles
    (regional-codes.ts:22). Refusals: fabric-id-from-image unavailable
    (classifier takes structured text, not pixels); body-shape-inference
    unsupported (must-not).
  - **bellona**: wired replay-bundle integrity (replay-bundle.ts:292 sha256
    binding manifest+header) and strict session-manifest validation
    (session.ts:312; invalid input → typed rejection with zod issues, proven by
    the creator-not-a-participant test). Refusals: evidence-signing (signers
    real, no key), live-engine-bridge (retryable — needs a connected engine),
    gameplay-state-capture (MemorySaveStorage only, save/index.ts:85).
  - **metis**: wired FSRS-5 scheduling (fsrs.ts:124; test proves
    interval==stability at r=0.9 and S0/D0 against the published weights) and
    BKT mastery (knowledge-tracker.ts:114; test asserts the hand-derived
    0.1→0.4→0.775 posterior chain → 'proficient'). Refusals: concept-similarity
    (needs GraphStore+EmbeddingProvider), gradebook-emission (needs LMS creds),
    curriculum-service (FastAPI deploy); taste-originality-scoring unsupported
    (YSD-2047).
  - **isis**: wired job-envelope minting (job-envelope.ts:731, idempotency key =
    jobId) and pure region-aware routing (router.ts:47 planIsisRoute — "Pure
    data + pure functions. No IO."; test proves tenant-pinned region wins and
    unhealthy endpoints are skipped). Added the additive `./provider-endpoints`
    export subpath to @isis/ai-providers so the adapter avoids loading provider
    SDK modules. Refusals: inference-execution, output-provenance-registry
    unavailable; evidence-system-of-record unsupported (YSD-0160 must-not).
  - **neith**: ALL inspection refuses — the Rust is real (GLB importers.rs:410,
    OBJ :818, USDA :548, ASCII-FBX :592; scene graph node.rs:147) but no
    napi-rs/WASM bindings exist (grep empty; package.json wraps cargo only), so
    the adapter refuses rather than reimplementing geometry in Yemaya (YSD-0165)
    or faking results. binary-fbx-import is unsupported (also unimplemented in
    Rust, importers.rs:597); the tests prove the convert-your-file vs
    wait-for-bindings distinction.
- **Verification**: per-package `tsc --noEmit` (lib + spec configs) clean ×9;
  vitest 49/49 across the nine packages (6+6+5+6+7+5+5+5+4); contracts study
  suite 199/199; yemaya study-workspace 23/23; adversarial stub scan zero hits;
  eslint (incl. module-boundary depConstraints) clean.
- **Note for YSD-0163**: the aja adapter still publishes its bespoke descriptor
  shape from YSD-1007; harmonizing it onto the shared CapabilityDescriptorSchema
  is planned as part of the conformance kit.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1006'`.

## 2026-07-19 — YSD-0163 (adapter conformance: native IDs and anchors survive round trips)

- **Kit** `libs/contracts/src/study/adapter-conformance.ts` (exported from the
  study namespace):
  - `NATIVE_ID_BATTERY` — 12 adversarial native ids (uuid, cuid, colon-scoped,
    path-like, dotted, mixed-case, leading zeros, inner/trailing whitespace,
    unicode incl. CJK+emoji, single char, 512-char max) chosen so trimming,
    lowercasing, numeric coercion, or re-minting each break at least one entry.
  - `nativeRefRoundTripFindings(adapter)` — for every battery id: nativeRef
    preserves id/version byte-for-byte, pins the adapter's domain, keeps kind
    verbatim, survives JSON round trip re-parsed through the strict
    DomainNativeObjectRefSchema, and version-less refs must not fabricate a
    version.
  - `studyAdapterConformanceFindings(adapter, expectedDomain)` — identity +
    semver + YSD-2007 table validity + domain-prefixed keys + version agreement
    - discovery stability across calls + the native-ref battery.
  - `anchorLocatorRoundTripFindings(label, locator)` — SourceLocator
    serialize/revive must hold under the YSD-2083 canonical equality
    (sourceLocatorsEqual), not merely structurally.
  - `losslessJsonRoundTripFindings` — structural equality where a present-
    but-undefined key is significant (JSON dropping a field IS lossy; the naive
    stringify-compare version could not detect this and was replaced).
- **Kit self-test** `adapter-conformance.spec.ts` — proves the kit CATCHES
  violations, not just passes conformant code: a deliberately lossy adapter
  (trim+lowercase) is flagged on the mixed-case/trailing-space entries; a
  wrong-domain adapter and an unstable capability table are flagged; all six
  SourceLocator kinds round-trip under canonical equality; undefined-drop is
  flagged.
- **Aja harmonized onto the shared surface** (contract 1.0.0 → 1.1.0, additive):
  now implements StudyDomainAdapter — `domain`, `contractVersion`, `nativeRef`,
  and `capabilities()` mapping the bespoke evidence-rich table onto the shared
  YSD-2007 shape (available→supported, else unavailable; evidence folded into
  detail — a test proves it is never dropped). The original
  `describeCapabilities()` API is unchanged; added @oshun/contracts dependency.
- **Ten per-package conformance specs** (`src/conformance.spec.ts` in every
  study-adapter): each runs the kit (zero findings) plus a domain round trip
  through REAL adapter methods: aja search hits keep `videoId` verbatim incl.
  trailing space/leading zeros/case; nisaba annotation ids, creator ids, and
  caller-chosen plan/objective ids untouched; sophia anchor ids embed the native
  video id verbatim and chunk provenance keeps source/revision ids; hathor
  rhythm results echo native shot ids; bellona session/participant ids survive
  strict validation and hashing does not mutate its input; metis BKT keys
  concepts by the exact caller string (near-identical ids stay independent:
  0.775 vs 0.1); isis preserves jobId + idempotencyKey; euterpe analysis is
  deterministic and JSON-lossless; neith (all-refusals) still passes the full
  identity battery.
- **Verification**: all ten adapter suites green — 76 tests total (8+9+8+7+8+
  9+8+7+7+5); contracts study suite 205/205; per-package tsc (lib+spec) clean;
  stub scan zero hits; eslint zero errors.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0163'`.

## 2026-07-19 — YSD-0164 (architecture tests: cross-domain DB, copied taxonomies, model calls, store bypasses)

- **Extended** `tools/yemaya-study/check-architecture.mjs` (the YSD-0121
  checker) from four rules to seven, refactored around an exported pure rule
  engine `checkSource(rel, text, context)` so the rules are unit-testable rather
  than self-asserting:
  - **Rule 5 (unapproved model calls, YSD-0160):** flags (a) imports of any
    model-provider SDK (openai, @anthropic-ai/sdk, @google/generative-ai,
    ollama, elevenlabs, mistral, cohere, huggingface) anywhere in study code —
    including the isis adapter, which plans routes but never holds provider
    clients; (b) imports of @isis/ai-providers root or /providers\* client
    modules; the pure /provider-endpoints routing module is permitted ONLY
    inside libs/isis/study-adapter; (c) any study source naming a provider API
    host (api.anthropic.com etc.), tests included.
  - **Rule 6 (copied taxonomies, YSD-0014):** flags _declarations_ of twelve
    domain-owned taxonomy constants (FORTE_CATALOG, DECADE_PROFILES,
    ELEMENT_HISTORY, FABRIC_PERFORMANCE_DATABASE, REGIONAL_PROFILES,
    FSRS5_DEFAULT_WEIGHTS, DEFAULT_BKT_PARAMS, MASTERY_THRESHOLDS,
    ISIS_GENERATION_TYPES, ISIS_PROVIDER_KINDS, REMOTE_REPLAY_BUNDLE_COMPONENTS,
    AJA_STUDY_CAPABILITY_IDS) in any study root; imports remain legal, and aja's
    own capability list is allowed in aja's adapter.
  - **Rule 7 (canonical-store SQL bypasses):** scanning now includes `.sql`
    files; flags SQL-shaped references (`FROM|JOIN|INTO|UPDATE|TABLE <domain>.`)
    to any registered domain schema outside {study, public, pg_catalog,
    information_schema}, and `SET search_path` to any non-allowed schema.
    Precision guard: capability keys like 'sophia.semantic-retrieval' never
    follow an SQL keyword and do not trip.
  - Rules 1–4 (adapter-only cross-domain imports, cross-domain store packages,
    prohibited-inference analyzers, required tags) unchanged.
- **New rule unit tests** `tools/yemaya-study/check-architecture.test.mjs` (node
  --test, 13 tests): one planted violation per rule proving it FIRES, plus the
  allowances (own-store adapter import, isis-only routing import, taxonomy
  import vs declaration, study-schema SQL, capability-key precision). Wired into
  ci.yml beside the checker.
- **End-to-end negative test:** planted a file importing openai, declaring
  DECADE_PROFILES, and selecting from sophia.evidence_pack inside
  libs/yemaya/study-workspace → checker exited 1 with exactly 3 problems naming
  each rule; removal returned green
  (`2 experience-plane project(s), 10 study adapter(s) scanned`).
- **Test commands:**
  `node --test tools/yemaya-study/check-architecture.test.mjs` (13/13),
  `node tools/yemaya-study/check-architecture.mjs` (pass, 12 projects).
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-0164'`.

## 2026-07-19 — YSD-1009 (schema, API-client, event-contract generation + compat checks in CI)

- **Schema generation** (pre-existing YSD-2008 machinery) extended: now also
  emits `schemas/study/events.manifest.json` (event kind → emitter + delivery
  channel, from the STUDY_EVENT_DELIVERY table). 67 artifacts published.
- **Event contracts** — `libs/contracts/src/study/events.ts`:
  `StudyWorkspaceEventSchema` mirrors the IMPLEMENTED event reality exactly —
  the eight AuditSink kinds from ports.ts (project-created,
  observation/claim-recorded, playback-authorized/denied, record-reviewed,
  anchor-migration-planned/confirmed) with the columns the append-only
  study.audit_event table persists (kind, subjectId, actorUserId, detail,
  tenantId, occurredAt). Registered in STUDY_SCHEMA_REGISTRY with canonical +
  negative + zod-only examples, so it flows through publication, ajv
  double-validation, golden fixtures, and baseline breaking-change detection
  automatically. Deliberately no invented richer payloads: kinds arrive with the
  features that emit them.
- **API client generation** — `libs/contracts/scripts/generate-study-client.ts`
  renders `src/study/client.generated.ts` from a new route manifest
  (`service-routes.ts`) that mirrors the routes the service ACTUALLY serves
  (health/ready/metrics with exact response shapes read from app.ts and
  readiness.ts; business routes join with YSD-1030 — listing them earlier would
  fabricate an API). The generated client is dependency-injected (fetch),
  validates every response through the manifest schemas, and returns typed
  contract-violation results instead of passing drifted bodies through.
  Health/Ready response schemas are registry-published too.
- **Loop closed with a real E2E**: svc-study-workspace app.spec drives the
  GENERATED client against the real Hono app (client.health/ready/metrics via
  app.request) — proving manifest ≙ client ≙ service — plus a drifted-body test
  asserting `contract-violation` instead of pass-through. Service suite 33/33
  (integration suite still green against real postgres).
- **Compatibility checks**: STUDY_CONTRACTS_VERSION 0.2.0 → 0.3.0 (additive =
  minor per the YSD-2010 policy), '0.3.0' added to
  SUPPORTED_STUDY_SCHEMA_VERSIONS; schema check reports "65 contracts published,
  no drift, no breaking changes vs baseline v0"; goldens regenerated (239 cases
  stable).
- **CI wiring**: `generate-study-client.ts --check` added beside the existing
  schema/golden checks in the ci.yml study block (which the YSD-0164 commit also
  gave `node --test check-architecture.test.mjs`).
- **Verification**: contracts study suite 205/205; contracts + service tsc
  clean; svc suite 33/33; study-workspace 23/23; adapter spot-suite green;
  architecture + stub-scan + traceability checkers pass.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1009'`.

## 2026-07-19 — YSD-1010 (targeted CI, PARTIAL — deliberately left unchecked)

- **New workflow** `.github/workflows/study-workspace.yml` — path-filtered to
  study code (contracts/study, schemas/study, study generators, experience
  plane, service, all `libs/*/study-adapter`, tools/yemaya-study, studio/study
  web route). Four jobs, one per suite family that exists:
  - `contracts` — study contract suite + contracts tsc + the three generator
    --check gates (schemas/breaking-change, goldens, client drift).
  - `service-migrations` — real `postgres:16` service container; service tsc,
    then the full service suite with `STUDY_PG_REQUIRED=1` so the migration +
    authoritative-store integration suite MUST run (spec change: unreachable DB
    is now a hard failure when required — verified both ways locally: 13/13
    against real postgres, and an explicit failure with a bogus URL, never a
    silent skip). Plus the experience-plane lib suite + tsc.
  - `adapter-conformance` — fail-fast:false matrix over all ten adapters:
    lib+spec typecheck and full suites incl. the YSD-0163 conformance specs.
  - `architecture` — YSD-0121/0164 checker, its planted-violation node --test
    rules, stub scan, traceability.
- **Deliberately NOT marked complete:** the item also names deletion,
  accessibility, Playwright, security, evaluation, and performance suites —
  those suites do not exist yet (they arrive with YSD-1035..1039 and later
  sections), and a workflow step for a nonexistent suite would be a self-passing
  gate. The workflow header documents this; the item is marked only when every
  named suite family has a real job.
- **Verification:** YAML parses (4 jobs); STUDY_PG_REQUIRED gate verified in
  both directions locally.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-1010'`.

## 2026-07-19 — YSD-1030..1039 walking skeleton, PROGRESS (items deliberately still unchecked)

- **Stage A (library):** register-local-source, grant-rights,
  ingest-local-source, create-anchor, export-study-trail, delete-source use
  cases + `activeGrantFor` acquisition gate; extended StudyWorkspaceStore port
  (works/editions/assets/tracks/project lists); shared in-memory test harness
  (`src/testing/in-memory-deps.ts`, tests-only per YSD-1031); event kinds
  extended to 16 (contract + manifest regenerated). 32 lib tests.
- **Stage B (service):** fail-closed HS256 bearer auth (`auth.ts` — 503 when
  unconfigured, 401 on bad/expired tokens, constant-time signature check),
  business routes under /api/study (project/register/grants/ingest/playback/
  anchors/observations/trail/export/delete), inbox-sandboxed file resolution
  (realpath containment, symlink escapes refused), real adapters: streaming
  sha256 identifier, ffprobe prober (rational r_frame_rate — never floats),
  MinIO object store over @oshun/storage; postgres store extended to the full
  port; readiness gains an object-store probe; startup wires business routes
  ONLY when postgres + S3 + inbox are all real (else honest 503).
- **End-to-end proof** `walking-skeleton.integration.spec.ts` — 9/9 against the
  REAL dev stack (postgres 16 + MinIO started this session): the film is
  synthesized in-test with ffmpeg (testsrc2 1280×720@24 + 440 Hz sine —
  rights-cleared because we own it; the YSD-1038 source), then over HTTP: 401s
  without/with-garbage tokens → project → register → **ingest DENIED before the
  rights decision (403 + reasons)** → grant (creator-owned, playback+export) →
  ingest (ffprobe facts verified: 24/1 rational fps, 120 frames, 16:9, sha256
  identity, video+audio tracks) → playback presigned URL → **real bytes fetched
  from MinIO** → manual anchor (frame 24–72) + observation with no analyzer
  configured anywhere (YSD-1033/1039) → **trail intact through a fresh app
  instance over the same database (YSD-1034)** → export document downloaded and
  verified → delete: objectKey really gone (presigned URL now 404), 7 record
  families tombstoned, playback 403, trail empty (YSD-1035 across every surface
  that exists today).
- **Remaining before ANY of YSD-1030..1039 is marked:** notebook step
  (Nisaba-owned persistence through the nisaba study-adapter), the /studio/study
  web UI consuming these routes, Playwright deep + a11y coverage
  (YSD-1036/1037), manual hierarchy correction surface (YSD-1033), and extending
  the YSD-1009 route manifest/generated client with the business routes.
- **Test commands:** lib `npx vitest run` 32/32; svc `npx vitest run` 42/42 (20
  app + 13 store-integration + 9 walking-skeleton E2E); tsc clean both;
  architecture + stub scans pass.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='ysd-1030'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Walking skeleton UI + Playwright; YSD-1031/1034/1038/1039 marked

- **UI** `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/StudyWorkspaceApp.tsx` on
  /studio/study (launch surface updated honestly: study-projects and
  playback-annotation now available; four lens surfaces still explicitly "Not
  yet available"). Every rights denial renders its policy reasons
  (`data-study-denial-reasons`). A `data-study-ready` attribute appears only
  after hydration + first load so E2E fills never race hydration.
- **Proxy** `apps/oshun/web/src/app/api/study/[...path]/route.ts`: verifies the
  REAL Oshun session (the /v1/auth/refresh exchange the session endpoint itself
  uses), mints a 300s HS256 study token, forwards to the service. Fail-closed
  503 when STUDY_SERVICE_URL/STUDY_JWT_SECRET absent; 401 when the session is
  missing/invalid. Env reads via @oshun/config (ratchet).
- **Shared token** moved to `@oshun/contracts/study/token`, rewritten on
  @noble/hashes after the repo lint rule flagged node:crypto (webpack noops it
  in client bundles — silent HMAC corruption); svc auth.ts delegates to it.
  Study contracts namespace converted to extensionless relative imports (repo
  norm) because Turbopack cannot resolve `.js`→`.ts` inside the transpiled
  package; added slim `@oshun/contracts/study/client` subpath so the browser
  bundle carries only the generated client + schemas.
- **Playwright** `e2e/studio-study-walking-skeleton.spec.ts` — **2/2 against the
  REAL five-layer stack** (Chromium → Next web → real BFF auth via
  seedCustomerSession → /api/study proxy → svc-study-workspace → postgres +
  MinIO + nisaba DB, film ffmpeg-synthesized by `scripts/e2e-bootstrap.ts`):
  honest launch surface, axe scan clean (serious/critical = 0) before AND after
  the journey; create → register → **ingest denied pre-grant with reasons
  visible** → grant → ingest → real <video> from presigned URL → frame-range
  anchor → region pin → observation → notebook + study card → export link →
  keyboard-submitted delete → anchors list empty. playwright.config.ts gained
  the study webServer entry. Servers verified torn down post-run (no listeners).
- **Marked [x]:** YSD-1031 (pg + MinIO + nisaba stores; in-memory only under
  src/testing/; business routes wire ONLY when all backings real, else honest
  503), YSD-1034 (svc E2E: trail incl. notebook re-read by a FRESH app instance
  over the same databases; lib suite: records persist through grant expiry while
  new actions deny), YSD-1038 (real rights-cleared ffmpeg-owned film; sanitized
  evidence = these log entries + specs), YSD-1039 (whole journey with zero
  models configured; Playwright asserts the explicit "Not yet available"
  analyzer states end to end).
- **Deliberately NOT marked:** YSD-1030/YSD-19020 (19020 bundles
  "player/hierarchy" — hierarchy navigation/segments not built; the two are one
  deliverable, so both wait for the minimal manual hierarchy), YSD-1032
  (search/sharing/transfer surfaces don't exist yet to gate), YSD-1033 (manual
  hierarchy correction needs the hierarchy), YSD-1035
  (search/vector/graph/cache/notebook-preview surfaces pending), YSD-1036
  (journey misses compare + typed link), YSD-1037 (keyboard + axe critical
  assertions shipped; screen-reader-critical assertions pending).
- **Test commands:** Playwright 2/2 (~59s, workers=1); svc suite 44/44 incl.
  restart-notebook assertion; lib 32/32; contracts study 205/205; page unit 4/4;
  architecture/stub scans pass.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='playwright proof'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Manual hierarchy; YSD-1030 + YSD-19020 + YSD-1033 marked

- **Segments** — `use-cases/manage-segments.ts`: createSegment / correctSegment
  with REAL structural validation (frame bounds within the edition's probed
  frame count; parents on the same edition; frame-range parents must CONTAIN
  children — both refusals unit-proven), pinned technicalRevisionHash,
  human-authored confidence explicitly `{missing, not-applicable}` (human
  judgment is not model confidence), corrections as append-only supersessions
  bumping segmentationVersion (manual-N). Store port + postgres impl
  (study_segment), events segment-created/segment-corrected (contract + manifest
  regenerated), service routes (create/list/correct), manifest + generated
  client, segments in trail + export document, hierarchy panel in the UI with
  indent-by-parent outline + correction form.
- **Verification**: lib 34/34 (containment refusal, beyond-edition refusal,
  correction history, no-op-correction refusal); svc 44/44; Playwright **2/2**
  with the extended journey — create scene → shot INSIDE it → manual label
  correction visible in the outline (corrected ×1) — plus all prior steps and
  clean axe scans. One box-level fix en route: fs.inotify.max_user_watches
  121k→1M + instances 128→1024 (tsx watch ENOSPC killed the BFF boot —
  shared-box watcher exhaustion).
- **Marked [x]: YSD-1030 + YSD-19020** (every named element of both items is
  implemented and E2E-verified twice: service-level 11-step suite vs real
  pg/minio/nisaba + browser-level Playwright vs the full five-layer stack —
  local-file class, real persistence, rights decision, player + hierarchy,
  manual annotation, Nisaba notebook flow, export, rights denial with reasons,
  deletion) and **YSD-1033** (hierarchy creation + correction and annotation all
  available the moment ingest lands technical metadata — no analyzer, no model,
  no queue anywhere in the flow).
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='manual hierarchy'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Rights denial before every skeleton surface; YSD-1032 marked

- **Search** — `use-cases/search-study-records.ts`: rights evaluated BEFORE
  matching (activeGrantFor per work at query time); suppressed works reported in
  `excludedWorks` with the denial reasons; segments suppressed with their
  edition, observations suppressed unless ≥1 cited anchor sits on a permitted
  edition (export's rule). Deterministic scorer (documented approximation for
  skeleton scale): AND-term match, phrase 100 + prefix 20 + 10/term, field
  weights title 5 / label 3 / creators 2 / observation 1 — unit tests assert
  hand-computed scores (700/360; 650 E2E), so a fabricated scorer fails. Audit
  `search-performed` counts outcomes and never carries query text (YSD-0009).
- **Sharing** — `use-cases/share-project.ts`: owner-only, duplicate-refusing,
  and denied unless EVERY source work has an active `collaboration` grant
  (per-work reasons; audit `sharing-denied`); allowed path appends the
  membership event + roster on a superseding project revision (audit
  `project-shared`).
- **Project transfer** — `use-cases/transfer-project.ts`: owner-only; denied
  unless every work grants `project-transfer` (audit `transfer-denied`);
  rights-passing requests refuse honestly with the four YSD-0020 prerequisite
  checks (`abstraction-enforcement`, `source-concentration`,
  `overly-specific-expression`, `dependency-impact`) as 503
  `transfer_unavailable` (audit `transfer-blocked`) — transfer has NO success
  path until Section 18 ships those checks.
- **Wiring**: routes `GET /projects/:id/search`, `POST /projects/:id/members`,
  `POST /projects/:id/transfer`; contract manifest + body/response schemas +
  regenerated client (`searchProject`/`shareProject`/`requestTransfer`); five
  new audit kinds in the events contract, schemas regenerated (also caught the
  stale segment-created/-corrected publication drift). Playback, processing
  (ingest), and export gates were already live — with this, all six YSD-1032
  surfaces deny by default with reasons.
- **Verification**: lib 43/43 (rights-surfaces.spec.ts: lapsed-grant search
  suppression incl. observation-through-anchor suppression, sharing denial/allow
  with roster+revision asserts, transfer denial + honest unavailability); svc
  45/45 incl. the real-stack integration leg (ungranted work suppressed E2E,
  share 403→grant→201, transfer 403→503 with named checks, audit rows verified
  by SQL in study.audit_event); contracts 205/205; schema drift check clean, no
  breaking changes vs baseline v0; architecture + stub + traceability checkers
  pass.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-1032.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='rights denial'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Expiry + deletion across every skeleton reference class; YSD-1035 marked

- **Export references** — migration `0002_study_export_reference.sql`: a ledger
  (`study.export_reference`, GIN on work_ids) recording every export document
  and the works it embeds; `exportStudyTrail` writes it; user deletion purges
  the export OBJECTS whose ledger rows name the deleted work and marks the rows
  (rows survive for audit; duplicate keys and double deletion are hard errors —
  postgres integration test).
- **Deletion gaps closed** — `deleteSource` now tombstones `study_segment` rows
  with their edition (previously orphaned as active rows) and deletes sidecar
  proxy/thumbnail objects (branch now actually exercised: lib tests attach a
  schema-valid proxy sidecar and assert its object dies on both the delete and
  expiry paths).
- **Retention expiry** — `use-cases/expire-retained-sources.ts`: once EVERY
  grant has ended (validUntil lapse or revocation, superseded/tombstoned grants
  excluded) and the LONGEST `sourceRetentionDays` window (counted per grant from
  its own end) has passed, the sweep deletes retained copies (original +
  sidecars) and tombstones asset/track rows; the scholarly record (work, edition
  metadata, segments, anchors, observations, notebooks) survives — the license
  to HOLD the copy lapsed, not the user's study writing; user deletion remains
  the remove-everything path. Audited `source-expired` by
  `system:retention-sweep`. Idempotent (no stored copies ⇒ skip). Surfaced as
  `POST /api/study/expiry-sweep` (contract manifest + generated client
  `expirySweep`) and as a config-gated service timer
  (`STUDY_EXPIRY_SWEEP_INTERVAL_MS`, 0=off, cleared on shutdown).
- **Classes without artifacts yet**: search is a rights-filtered live scan of
  the authoritative records, so tombstoning IS its deletion (tested: deleted
  work vanishes entirely, not merely rights-suppressed); vector and graph
  projections do not exist in the skeleton (Section 3.3) and gain deletion
  fan-out with the items that create them (noted in delete-source doc);
  notebooks store citations by anchorId only — no source content exists to
  purge, and exports embedding the work are purged as above; presigned-URL cache
  is covered by bytes-gone verification.
- **Verification**: lib 48/48 (deletion-expiry.spec.ts: export purge + ledger
  marks, segment tombstone + search-empty, retention window honored at T+12h /
  expired at deadline+1min with exact object keys, live-grant immunity,
  revocation-based retention, idempotent re-sweep, sidecar death on both paths);
  svc 47/47 incl. two real-stack legs (export purged on delete with presigned
  URL 404, and a real 5s-lifetime grant: early sweep refuses, post-lapse sweep
  deletes bytes (URL 404), trail keeps the work, SQL-verified single
  `source-expired` audit row, idempotent re-sweep); postgres store 0002
  migration + ledger roundtrip; contracts 205/205, schema+client drift checks
  clean, no breaking changes; architecture + stub + traceability checkers pass.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-1035.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='expiry and deletion'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Deep browser journey complete; YSD-1036 marked

- **New workspace surfaces** (StudyWorkspaceApp): navigate ("Go to start" on
  frame-range segments seeks the real player to startFrame/frameRate), compare
  (two anchor pickers → side-by-side panes rendering each anchor's locator + the
  observations citing it), typed links (relation picker
  contrast/similarity/identity → POST /projects/:id/links; list shows relation +
  endpoints + review state), grant lifetime seconds (records a validUntil +
  zero-retention grant), and a "Run retention sweep" button
  (client.expirySweep).
- **Typed-link backend** — `use-cases/create-typed-link.ts`: CrossReference
  between two anchors with pinned endpoint revisions (YSD-2156), rights gate on
  BOTH endpoints' works before any graph write, directionality from
  RELATION_SPECS, identity born `suggested` never accepted (YSD-2155), audit
  `link-created`; store port + postgres/in-memory impls (cross_reference
  family), `links` in the trail contract + route, `createLink` in the manifest +
  regenerated client; deleteSource tombstones edges whose endpoints die
  (YSD-2159).
- **Playwright journey** (`studio-study-walking-skeleton.spec.ts`, real
  five-layer stack: Next + BFF + svc-study-workspace + postgres/minio/ nisaba +
  ffmpeg film): all fourteen YSD-1036 steps — create project, ingest (denied
  first, with reasons), rights decision, play (presigned bytes), navigate
  (player.currentTime → 1.0s after segment goto), annotate (scene/shot +
  correction), compare (both panes assert their own locators), pin region,
  create typed link (contrast, accepted), save notebook (+ study card), export,
  deny action, EXPIRE (new test: 6s license → playback denied with "expired"
  reason while bytes remain → sweep → presigned URL 404s, scholarly record
  survives), delete (keyboard submit; anchors AND links empty after). **3/3
  passed** (3.1m).
- **En-route fixes**: the durable BFF (from today's main) refuses boot without
  OSHUN_SIGNUP_VERIFICATION_HMAC_SECRET and
  OSHUN_AUTONOMY_SNAPSHOT_KEY_BASE64/REF — added e2e-only defaults in
  playwright.config; cleared ONE stale `signup-verification-state` snapshot row
  from the dev DB written under an unrecoverable key (secretCheck mismatch
  predates the shared default).
- **Marked [x]: YSD-1036.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='deep playwright'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Keyboard-only + screen-reader journey; YSD-1037 marked

- **Spec** — `e2e/studio-study-a11y.spec.ts`, same real five-layer stack as the
  YSD-1036 journey, two standing rules: NO clicks (every activation is focus +
  Enter/Space or implicit text-input form submission) and every control
  addressed by ACCESSIBLE NAME (getByRole/getByLabel — a missing or wrong
  announced name fails the locator itself, never by test id).
- **Journey covered keyboard-only**: create project (with name → purpose →
  submit TAB-ORDER assertions), register film (implicit Enter submission),
  denied ingest ANNOUNCED as role=alert carrying the deny-by-default policy
  text, grant via Space, ingest, playback via Enter with `<video controls>`
  asserted (native keyboard-operable player), segment creation, frame-range
  anchor (label lookup scoped past duplicated label text), observation, Nisaba
  notebook, export (named link visible), delete (Enter submission, outcome
  announced, trail emptied).
- **Screen-reader semantics asserted**: workspace is a NAMED region
  (aria-labelledby its heading), project switcher exposes aria-pressed selection
  state, notices are role=alert (scoped past Next's route announcer, which is
  also role=alert — strict-mode caught that), axe scan of the fully populated
  workspace with zero serious/critical violations.
- **Result: 1/1 passed** (31s test, 3.0m with stack boot). CI: the study-e2e job
  now runs BOTH study specs; path filters broadened to
  `e2e/studio-study-*.spec.ts`.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-1037.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='keyboard'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Stable source identity on evidence anchors; YSD-2100 marked

- **Contract (0.4.0)** — EvidenceAnchor gains `workId` + `assetId` +
  `sessionId`; a version-gated superRefine requires, for every record at a
  version ≥0.4.0: workId always, and EXACTLY the identity matching the locator
  kind — assetId for track/asset-addressed evidence (must equal the locator's
  assetId for document/spatial), sessionId for runtime-event evidence (must
  equal the locator's start sessionId; event ranges may not cross sessions).
  Pre-0.4.0 stored records are exempt via the frozen
  `PRE_IDENTITY_SCHEMA_VERSIONS` set; a legacy canonical example proves they
  keep parsing. STUDY_CONTRACTS_VERSION 0.3.0 → 0.4.0 (additive per
  compat-policy rule 5, added this session); schemas/ goldens/client
  regenerated; NO breaking changes vs baseline v0.
- **Use cases** — createAnchor now RESOLVES and VERIFIES the chain before
  writing: track locators must chain track → asset → the anchor's edition (a
  foreign edition's track is refused with reasons, unit-proven);
  document/spatial locators must name an asset of that edition; runtime-event
  locators pin sessionId from the locator. Anchor migration
  (confirmPlannedMigration) now resolves TARGET-side identity — shared work +
  the target edition's single unambiguous counterpart track of the same kind —
  refusing honestly otherwise, and `confirmAnchorMigration` stamps the migrated
  record with the target's work/asset/track and the CURRENT schema version. This
  also fixed a latent bug: migrated anchors used to keep the SOURCE edition's
  trackId while pointing at the target edition.
- **Persistence** — migration `0003_study_anchor_source_identity.sql`:
  work_id/asset_id/session_id columns + idempotent backfill resolving the stored
  chain (edition→work, track→asset, locator asset/session) plus a partial index
  on work_id. Stored payloads are NOT rewritten — revision immutability
  (YSD-0013) holds; legacy identity lives in columns. FAMILY_EXTRAS writes the
  columns on every anchor write.
- **Verification**: contracts 205/205 (incl. new zod negatives: 0.4.0 anchor
  missing workId/assetId, asset evidence smuggling a sessionId; migration spec
  asserts target identity + trackId swap); lib 54/54 (identity resolution on
  create, cross-edition track refusal, migration counterpart resolution); svc
  48/48 vs real PostgreSQL (0003 applied; legacy row backfilled by re-running
  the migration SQL, payload untouched and still parsing, current-version rows
  carry columns at write); Playwright journey re-run green; architecture +
  stub + traceability checkers pass; schema drift + client drift checks clean.
- **Scope note**: Detections/Observations/Claims carry identity THROUGH their
  anchors — YSD-2112's unanchored-rejection invariants (already marked) close
  that path; sessions gain first-class records with the instrumented-game
  sections.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-2100.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='stable source identity'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Policy-permitted representation generation; YSD-2102 marked

- **Policy** — `policies/representation-policy.ts`: permitted representations
  are DERIVED from the covering grant's actions (thumbnail/crop ⇒
  frame-extraction, waveform ⇒ proxy-generation, feature-vector ⇒ embedding,
  transcript-excerpt ⇒ transcription; metadata-only always; provider-deep-link
  only for provider-linked assets). createAnchor's hardcoded list is GONE — a
  playback-only grant now yields metadata-only evidence (unit-proven).
- **Generation** — `use-cases/generate-representation.ts`, doubly gated: (1) the
  anchor's recorded policy, (2) a LIVE rights re-check of the representation's
  action at render time (permitted-then-lapsed grants refuse; renderer never
  invoked — asserted). Real rendering via the new ffmpeg adapter
  (`media/representation-renderer.ts`): frame extraction reading the presigned
  MinIO URL directly, normalized-region crops, total-pixel cap from grant limits
  (never upscaling), waveform images. Unshipped stages
  (feature-vector/transcript-excerpt/provider-deep-link) refuse with 501
  representation_unavailable — honest seams for the analyzer sections. Output
  stored as an ASSET SIDECAR on a superseding revision, so YSD-1035 deletion +
  expiry purge it with the source copies. Audit `representation-generated`;

## 2026-07-19 — Authorship + immutable change reasons + review history; YSD-2106 marked

- **Authorship** (verified in place): AuthorIdentitySchema's four kinds (human,
  model, imported-system, collaborative-group) carried on every envelope's
  createdBy and on segments/claims/cross-references/review events; model
  authorship structurally rejected where humans must decide (observations,
  identity acceptance, migration confirmation — all previously tested).
- **Immutable change reason** (the gap, now closed): the envelope gains
  `changeReason`, and `superseding()` now REQUIRES `{ reason, schemaVersion? }`
  — the compiler forces every supersession site to say why. Version-gated at
  0.5.0 per compat-policy rule 5 (second application): revisions >1 at ≥0.5.0
  must carry a reason, revision 1 must NOT (creation is not a change), pre-0.5.0
  stored history stays valid. Production writers stamp STUDY_CONTRACTS_VERSION
  so their new revisions enter the rule; reasons threaded with real content
  through all nine production sites (share, register-work, ingest, segment
  corrections [the user's own reason], representation sidecars, notebook
  authoring, study cards [nisaba adapter], review application [the review's
  reason], graph endpoint advancement). Reasons are immutable with the rest of
  the payload (0001 trigger).
- **Review history** (verified in place): study.review_event append-only by
  trigger (mutation + delete refusal integration-tested), legal transitions
  enforced, applyReviewEvent supersedes with the review's reason now recorded on
  the envelope too.
- **Verification**: contracts 206/206 (new test: current-version supersession
  carries reason, reasonless one rejected, creation-with-reason rejected, legacy
  history exempt); yemaya lib 57/57; nisaba adapter 11/11; svc 49/49 vs real PG;
  Playwright journey green post-change; schema/golden/client drift checks clean,
  no breaking changes vs baseline v0; checkers green.

## 2026-07-19 — Seven epistemic object types, visibly distinguished; YSD-2107 marked

- **Vocabulary** — `libs/contracts/src/study/epistemic-object-types.ts`: the
  seven §9.6 types verbatim (source-fact, detection, observation,
  interpretation, craft-hypothesis, creator-statement, practice-result) with
  per-type display metadata (unique label, §9.6 definition, provenance
  discipline) and the total `EPISTEMIC_RECORD_KIND_TO_TYPE` mapping over
  registry kinds (SourceFact/Detection/Observation/InterpretationClaim/
  CraftHypothesis/CreatorStatement/OutcomeEvidence). Published in the schema
  registry as `EpistemicObjectType`; exported client-safe via the new
  `@oshun/contracts/study/epistemic` subpath (pure zod + data, no node:crypto).
- **Two missing types now first-class** (contracts 0.5.0 → 0.6.0, additive;
  SUPPORTED_STUDY_SCHEMA_VERSIONS += 0.6.0):
  - `entities/source-fact.ts` — SourceFact: subject chain (work → optional
    edition → asset; asset requires edition, refined), scalar value + unit, and
    a verification block where MECHANICAL methods
    (checksum-computation/media-probe/container-metadata) REQUIRE the computing
    processor and documentary methods
    (distributor-manifest/credits-text/spec-document) REQUIRE the citation — a
    value with neither does not parse.
  - `entities/creator-statement.ts` — CreatorStatement: speaker (name + credited
    role), verbatim-vs-paraphrase flag, MANDATORY citable source (paratext kind
    enum + citation + year/month/day-granular publicationDate regex), optional
    anchors; model-extracted statements cannot be born `accepted` (refined).
    Contradicting statements about the same work coexist as separate records
    (proposal §14) — tested.
  - Canonical + negative + zodOnly example sets for both, goldens/schemas/
    client regenerated (70 artifacts, 253 golden cases), ids
    SourceFactId/CreatorStatementId.
- **Producers, all real** — lib `record-interpretation.ts` /
  `record-craft-hypothesis.ts` / `record-creator-statement.ts` mirror
  record-observation's referential checks (project active, every cited
  anchor/claim/work exists and is current); `ingest-local-source.ts`
  materializes four SourceFacts (sha256, byteSize, container, durationSeconds)
  from the SAME identify/probe outputs the records were built from, each naming
  the real tool — FileIdentifier/MediaProbeReport ports gained `tool` identity;
  the service adapters report `node:crypto sha256 stream` @ process.version and
  the ACTUAL `ffprobe -version` (read once, cached, fail-loud on unparseable
  output).
- **Service** — routes POST /api/study/claims, /craft-hypotheses,
  /creator-statements; ingest response + trail carry the new records (one array
  per type, never merged); migration `0004_study_epistemic_record_families.sql`
  adds craft_hypothesis / creator_statement / source_fact with the full 0001
  discipline (envelope block, one-current index, tenant RLS, immutability +
  no-delete triggers, work-id extracted columns); postgres store get/put/list
  per family; deletion fans out (claims citing dead anchors, hypotheses deriving
  from them, statements/facts of the deleted work all tombstone — integration-
  asserted); export document embeds the four arrays; audit/event kinds
  claim-recorded (emitter corrected), craft-hypothesis-recorded,
  creator-statement-recorded, source-facts-recorded.
- **UI, the "visibly distinguish" half** —
  `components/studio/EpistemicTypeBadge.tsx`: per-type badge (label is the
  distinction, color redundant) + seven-entry legend with definitions,
  provenance, and live counts; zero counts render "None recorded in this
  project." — honest absence for detection/practice-result (no analyzer, no
  practice surface exists). StudyWorkspaceApp gains Interpret / Craft hypothesis
  / Creator statement forms and the badged "Epistemic record trail" listing
  facts, observations, claims, hypotheses, statements — each entry carries
  EXACTLY its own badge.
- **Verification**: contracts 219/219 (new epistemic-object-types.spec: 7 types
  in proposal order, unique labels/definitions, mapping total + covered,
  epistemicIdentity literals agree; SourceFact/CreatorStatement domain rules);
  yemaya lib 66/66 (epistemic-records.spec: facts carry real probe values +
  tool, referential refusals, contradiction coexistence, export arrays); svc
  50/50 vs REAL postgres+MinIO+ffprobe (route journey, facts on ingest with live
  ffprobe version asserted, trail-across-restart per-type arrays, deletion
  tombstones all four families); web e2e 3 specs green incl. NEW
  studio-study-epistemic-types.spec.ts (five live types badged 1:1, legend of
  seven, honest zeros, axe clean) + walking-skeleton + a11y regressions;
  adversarial stub scan of every new file: zero hits.
- **Scope note**: detection and practice-result are contract-implemented
  (Detection entity, OutcomeEvidence practice-result literal, published
  examples/goldens) and visibly distinguished in the legend; live producer
  pipelines for them belong to the analyzer sections (YSD-2104/2105, §5) and the
  practice loop (§12) and remain honestly absent here.

- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='epistemic object types'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Anti-promotion enforcement across layers; YSD-2108 marked

- **The rule enforced**: no layer may silently promote a detection to an
  interpretation or an interpretation to creator intent. Mechanism: every layer
  that carries an epistemic record carries its type EXPLICITLY, and the
  contracts make cross-type relabeling structurally unparseable.
- **API layer** — kind-specific request/response wrappers (claim / hypothesis /
  statement; per-type trail+export arrays from YSD-2107). NEW
  `epistemic-promotion.spec.ts` proves the walls: a Detection fixture fails
  Observation/InterpretationClaim/CreatorStatement schemas (and every other
  cross-kind pairing fails likewise); a CreatorStatement in the trail's `claims`
  array refuses to parse; a hand-edited epistemicIdentity literal cannot cross
  kinds.
- **Search layer** (the gap this item closed) — `search-study-records.ts` now
  covers interpretation claims, craft hypotheses, and creator statements with
  the SAME rights-before-search rule (claims by cited permitted anchors,
  hypotheses by included claims or permitted anchors, statements by permitted
  work — a statement about an ungranted work records legally but never surfaces,
  tested). Every epistemic hit carries `kind` AND canonical `epistemicType`;
  SearchResponseSchema's superRefine REJECTS a mislabeled hit, an epistemic hit
  with the label omitted (silence is the promotion vector), and an epistemic
  label on a structural work/segment hit. Contracts 0.6.0 → 0.7.0 (additive
  enum/field extension).
- **UI layer** — enforced by YSD-2107's badge discipline: the e2e asserts every
  rendered record carries EXACTLY its own type badge (1:1), interpretations
  display their governed epistemic status, and creator statements display
  speaker + paratext provenance.
- **Export layer** — per-type arrays with full record payloads (epistemicStatus
  / epistemicIdentity intact), typed-array cross-parse refusal proven in the
  promotion spec; integration suite asserts the downloaded document's four
  arrays.
- **Synthesis layer** — the only synthesis surfaces today are human-authored
  Nisaba notebooks/cards (citing anchors, optional claimId LINK — a reference,
  never a copy) and the export document; no automated synthesis exists, and any
  future one exchanges these same typed contracts.
- **Analytics layer** — the audit/event channel keeps ONE distinct kind per
  epistemic producer (observation-recorded / claim-recorded /
  craft-hypothesis-recorded / creator-statement-recorded /
  source-facts-recorded; Detection and OutcomeEvidence have no producer yet and
  honestly no event kind) — asserted distinct and registered in
  STUDY_WORKSPACE_EVENT_KINDS, so no aggregate can merge two types into one
  bucket. Model-authorship walls re-proven as a battery (model observation
  refused; model claim pinned to model-suggested; model-extracted statement
  cannot be born accepted).
- **Verification**: contracts 233/233 (14 new promotion tests); yemaya lib 69/69
  (3 new search-labeling tests incl. rights suppression and
  claim-id-appears-only-as-interpretation); svc 50/50 vs real stack (HTTP search
  leg returns the claim as kind=interpretation with epistemicType, never
  flattened); web e2e re-run green at 0.7.0; adversarial stub scan clean.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-2108.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='anti-promotion'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Manual alignment-map authoring + review; YSD-2130 marked

- **Authoring** — `use-cases/author-alignment-map.ts`: a human states
  correspondences across ALL EIGHT classes (exact, approximate, reordered,
  added, removed, rescored, regraded, unmapped — the contract's kind-specific
  range rules from YSD-2024 apply per row). The use case adds the referential
  half: both editions must exist and belong to the SAME work; endpoint
  technical-revision hashes are read from the STORED editions (never
  caller-supplied); every stated frame range must fit the edition's real frame
  count (typed AlignmentAuthoringError → HTTP 400); manual correspondences carry
  `confidence: missing/not-applicable` (a human judgment is not a machine
  probability, YSD-2006). Gaps are DERIVED by `uncoveredSourceRanges` (sort +
  cursor-walk interval complement over [0, durationFrames)): source frames no
  correspondence addresses become explicit gap ranges (YSD-2135) — unit-tested
  against overlapping, empty, and full coverage.
- **Review** — the map is born `suggested`; `reviewRecord` gained the
  `alignment-map` family (same review-gate path: revision pin, from-state match,
  legal transition, human acceptance authority, next revision + immutable
  event). Stale pins are `ReviewApplicationError` → HTTP 409 review_conflict.
  Deletion fan-out: maps tombstone with either endpoint edition.
- **Service/contracts** — routes POST /api/study/alignment-maps, GET
  /projects/:id/alignment-maps, POST /api/study/reviews (reviewer is ALWAYS the
  authenticated session user — a client cannot review in someone else's name);
  postgres listAlignmentMapsByProject; contracts 0.8.0 with
  AuthorAlignmentMapBody/ReviewRecordBody/
  AlignmentMapResponse/ReviewOutcomeResponse; regenerated client/
  schemas/goldens.
- **UI** — the Cross-edition alignment section (appears once a second edition
  exists): source/target edition selects, a draft-correspondence form over the
  eight kinds (added drops the source side, removed/ unmapped drop the target
  side), the drafted list, one-click authoring, and the map list showing kinds,
  review state, "unaddressed source frames: N–M" (the YSD-2135 surface), and an
  Accept button that runs the review gate and disappears once accepted.
- **Verification**: lib 76/76 (uncoveredSourceRanges unit cases; eight-kind
  authoring with stored hashes + derived gap; cross-work and out-of-bounds
  refusals; review accept → revision 2 + event; stale-pin refusal;
  tombstone-with-editions); svc 51/51 vs real postgres+MinIO (two real ingests →
  author over HTTP → derived gap in response → 400 out-of-bounds → accept 200
  {accepted, revision 2} → stale 409 → list shows accepted; delete tombstones
  edition_alignment_map); web e2e NEW studio-study-alignment-maps.spec.ts 1/1

  epistemic-types all green; adversarial stub scan clean.

## 2026-07-19 — Assisted alignment proposals behind method adapters; YSD-2131 marked

- **The seam** — `ports.ts` ProposalMethodAdapter: each of the four §9.7 methods
  is an adapter that returns REAL proposed correspondences with the computing
  tool's identity, or an honest typed refusal (`unavailable` + exact reason).
  `propose-alignment-map.ts` orchestrates: rights BEFORE bytes (signal
  extraction reads stored media, so the work needs a `model-analysis` grant — a
  denial is audited as alignment-proposals-denied and NO byte is read/presigned,
  adapter untouched, lib-asserted); same-work + frame-domain validation; every
  proposed correspondence carries UNCALIBRATED confidence (raw method score +
  native scale — no calibration set exists, YSD-2006/2105) and is born
  `suggested` into the YSD-2130 review gate. An empty adapter result refuses
  rather than shipping a map that reads as "no differences".
- **Two REAL methods** (`media/proposal-adapters.ts`):
  - audio-fingerprint: ffmpeg's chromaprint muxer emits raw 32-bit
    sub-fingerprints (11025 Hz mono; hop = 1365/11025 s — a constant of the
    algorithm; the ~2.6 s warm-up shifts both editions equally and cancels out
    of offsets); a hamming-distance offset scan minimizes the bit-error rate
    with ties resolved toward maximal overlap then zero-offset (self-similar
    audio would otherwise pin to an arbitrary equal-scoring shift — found by
    test); match floor BER 0.25 (unrelated audio plateaus ≈0.28–0.5), exact
    ceiling 0.05, added/removed tails beyond 0.5 s. Proven on real media:
    identical recording → one exact 240-frame match at BER exactly 0; a 4
    s-trimmed copy located at its true offset (removed head 84–108 frames
    bracketing 96) using seeded pink noise (a chirp was chroma-ambiguous —
    octave folding — also found by test); tonal-vs-noise refuses at the floor
    (no false correspondences, the YSD-2137 property).
  - shot-structure: ffmpeg scdet scene-change timestamps → shot lists →
    two-pointer duration-tolerance alignment (exact within 2 frames, approximate
    within max(0.25 s, 10%), one-sided shots emitted as removed/added — never
    interpolated). Proven: a 3-shot splice self-aligns as three exact pairs at
    the real cut frames [0,48,96]; a shortened cut missing its middle shot
    reports exactly one removed.
- **Two honest, data-grounded refusals**: transcript-alignment checks the REAL
  store for subtitle tracks on both editions and refuses naming the edition
  without one (and refuses even when both exist, because no token-level aligner
  ships in this deployment — stated verbatim); telemetry-landmarks refuses (no
  telemetry sessions exist in this workspace). Both surface as HTTP 422
  proposal_unavailable with the reason.
- **Service/UI** — POST /api/study/alignment-maps/proposals (contracts 0.9.0,
  generated client); production + test wiring registers all four adapters. UI:
  "Authorize signal analysis" button (explicit model-analysis grant —
  deny-by-default stays visible), method select + "Propose correspondences";
  proposals list beside manual maps tagged with method and "raw score N on
  <scale> — uncalibrated, not a probability" (YSD-2105 display rule), and accept
  through the SAME review gate.
- **Verification**: adapter spec 8/8 over real synthesized media (identity,
  true-offset trim, false-correspondence refusal, real cut alignment,
  dropped-shot detection, planted-offset math, tie-break); lib 79/79
  (rights-first with adapter-untouched assert, unavailable refusals,
  uncalibrated mapping); svc 60/60 vs real stack (403 before grant → real
  chromaprint 201 exact/BER-0 → shot-structure 201 → transcript+telemetry 422);
  web e2e alignment journey 1/1 including the denied → authorize → propose →
  accept arc + other three suites green (one a11y flake passed clean on re-run);
  contracts 233/233.

- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='alignment proposals'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Build/patch maps + revalidation tasks; YSD-2136 marked

- **Build/patch editions are first-class ingests** — IngestBody/-command gain
  `editionKind` + `platform` (contract already enforces platform on
  game-build/patch, YSD-2074); a build's frame-addressable asset is its gameplay
  CAPTURE, so cross-build alignment maps ride the existing YSD-2130 authoring
  and YSD-2131 proposal machinery unchanged (integration-proven: build-capture
  editions author + accept maps like any others).
- **RevalidationTask** (contracts 0.10.0) — `entities/revalidation.ts`: work,
  triggering edition, subject family (edition_alignment_map |
  interpretation_claim), subject record, reason, open/resolved with refined
  resolution presence (resolved requires the resolver + note + time; open
  forbids them). Registry + canonical/ negative/zodOnly examples + goldens.
- **Open on build change** — ingest of a game-build/patch edition for a work
  with prior editions opens one task per ACCEPTED (or corrected) alignment map
  touching the work's prior editions and per accepted claim citing their
  anchors. Suggested records are NOT flagged (never trusted), non-build editions
  (remaster tested) open nothing, tasks are opened never auto-applied, audit
  `revalidation-tasks-opened`.
- **Resolution is a human act** — `use-cases/resolve-revalidation-task.ts`:
  supersedes the task to resolved with the resolver's note; NEVER mutates the
  flagged record (asserted: the accepted map stays accepted — record changes go
  through the review gate separately); double-resolve is a typed 409; audit
  `revalidation-task-resolved`. Deletion fan-out: tasks about a deleted work
  tombstone with it.
- **Service/UI** — migration `0005_study_revalidation_tasks.sql` (full 0001
  discipline + work_id column); routes GET /projects/:id/revalidation-tasks +
  POST /revalidation-tasks/:id/resolution; ingest response carries the opened
  tasks. UI: edition-kind select + platform on the ingest form; a Revalidation
  tasks section listing open/resolved tasks with reasons and a "Mark re-checked"
  resolve flow.
- **Verification**: contracts 233/233; lib 82/82 (revalidation.spec: flags
  exactly the accepted map + accepted claim and not the suggested claim,
  remaster opens nothing, resolve-once semantics with untouched flagged record);
  svc 61/61 vs real postgres (patch capture over HTTP opens exactly one task for
  the accepted map, resolve 200 → 409, list shows resolved; deletion tombstones
  revalidation_task); web e2e alignment journey extended (patch ingest → "2
  revalidation task(s) opened" → resolve with note → resolved with note shown) —
  one transient 401 session flake retried clean, then 2/2 consecutive clean
  runs; adversarial stub scan clean.

## 2026-07-19 — Transactional aggregate writes; YSD-3006 marked

- **The seam** — `StudyWorkspaceStore.inTransaction(fn)` (ports.ts): every write
  made through the store handed to `fn` commits together or not at all; reads
  inside see the transaction's own writes.
  - Postgres (`postgres-store.ts`): binds a transaction-scoped store over the pg
    transaction client; the bound store's own `withTransaction` runs inline so
    `putRevisioned`'s supersession mark + insert join the outer transaction
    instead of issuing a nested BEGIN. Constructor now takes the structural
    `StudyDbClient` surface (satisfied by PostgresClient and the tx adapter) so
    every store method runs identically inside and outside a transaction.
  - In-memory double: real snapshot/restore rollback across every collection
    (records are immutable, so shallow map copies are full snapshots) — the
    double now REFUSES to keep partial writes, same as the database.
- **Wrapped aggregates** (each names its orphan class):
  - ingest: edition + asset + tracks + source facts + revalidation tasks + the
    work's next revision in ONE transaction (bytes land in object storage first
    — records only ever describe bytes that exist); the YSD-2136 task-opening
    reads run inside the same transaction.
  - delete-source: the ENTIRE tombstone graph (observations, claims, hypotheses,
    statements, facts, maps, revalidation tasks, links, anchors, tracks, assets,
    segments, editions, grants, work) plus the export-ledger marks in one
    transaction — a failure part-way can never leave anchors alive on a
    tombstoned edition.
  - review-record: the next revision and its immutable review event commit
    together — no reviewed record without its event.
  - expiry sweep: each asset's track tombstones commit with the asset's.
  - Single-record writes were already atomic via putRevisioned's existing
    mark+insert transaction.
- **Verification**: lib 85/85 — new `transactions.spec.ts` injects failures at
  the store seam: a failing asset write aborts the whole ingest (zero
  editions/assets/tracks/facts, work still revision 1 with no editions); a
  failing event append aborts the review supersession (record current at
  revision 1, zero events); the success path commits everything. Svc 62/62 vs
  REAL PostgreSQL — new integration case: rollback leaves no rows, commit lands
  both records with read-your-writes inside the transaction, and a supersession
  inside a transaction rolls back cleanly on a later failure (no nested-BEGIN
  error). Full walking-skeleton integration suite green over the same wrapped
  code paths; adversarial stub scan clean.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-3006.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='transactional aggregate'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Keyset pagination, total ordering, bulk ops; YSD-3007 marked

- **Cursor pagination** — `PageRequest { after: {createdAt, id}, limit }` on
  every project-scoped list (anchors, observations, claims, hypotheses,
  statements, facts, links, maps, revalidation tasks) and segments-by-edition.
  Postgres implements the keyset as `(created_at, id) > ($cursor)` +
  `ORDER BY created_at, id` + LIMIT — an index range scan, never scan-and-sort;
  the in-memory double implements the SAME total order and slicing so lib tests
  exercise identical semantics. Omitting the page keeps the full list for the
  flows that must see everything (export, deletion) — no silent caps.
- **Deterministic ordering** — every list gained the `id` tiebreak
  (`created_at, id`), a TOTAL order stable across runs and stores; segments keep
  their unpaged `(orderKey, created_at, id)` order and now read the extracted
  `edition_id` column (FAMILY_EXTRAS entry added; migration 0006 backfills rows
  written before it).
- **Bulk operations** — `tombstoneMany`: per-family set-based soft-delete →
  tombstone transitions (`id = ANY($1::uuid[])`) plus ONE multi-row `unnest`
  insert into deletion_tombstone, all in one transaction — delete-source now
  collects its whole graph and issues a single bulk call inside its YSD-3006
  transaction instead of a round trip per record.
- **Bounded query plans** — migration `0006_study_keyset_pagination.sql`:
  composite partial indexes `(project_id, created_at, id)` over CURRENT rows for
  the nine project-scoped families and `(edition_id, created_at, id)` for
  segments, matching the keyset order exactly. (Explain-plan assertions are
  YSD-3009's item.)
- **Verification**: svc 64/64 vs REAL postgres — new integration cases: 25
  same-timestamp anchors (only the id tiebreak can order them) walk at limit 10
  as 10/10/5 with exact-once coverage, identical order on re-walk, and match the
  unpaged list; tombstoneMany over 8 records clears reads and writes exactly 8
  tombstone rows (uuid[] casts — record_id is uuid, found by test). Lib 85/85
  (paged double + bulk delegation under the deletion/atomicity suites).
  Walking-skeleton e2e 3/3 through the UI delete arc. Transient e2e 401s traced
  to the KNOWN stale `signup-verification-state` admin-store row (rewritten by a
  parallel worktree's BFF under a different HMAC secret); deleted the singleton
  row per the documented remedy and the journey passed clean.

## 2026-07-19 — Explain-plan and index-coverage tests; YSD-3009 marked

- **The suite** — `query-plans.integration.spec.ts` against a REAL PostgreSQL:
  seeds realistic volume (600 anchors with staggered timestamps behind a real
  edition row — the referential trigger refuses orphan anchors even in seeds —
  plus 300 edges, 200 grants, 120 segments, 60 export-ledger rows), runs
  ANALYZE, then asserts EXPLAIN (FORMAT JSON) plans by walking the node tree.
- **Two assertion modes**: coverage cases run inside ONE transaction with
  `SET LOCAL enable_seqscan = off` (a pooled SET lands on a different connection
  than the EXPLAIN — found while building) and assert the intended index
  QUALIFIES with zero Seq Scan nodes on the hot table; the timeline-window case
  leaves the planner FREE and proves it prefers `evidence_anchor_keyset` on its
  own at volume, with NO Sort node — the index delivers keyset order directly.
- **The six hot paths of the checklist item**: timeline window (keyset
  tuple-compare + LIMIT → evidence_anchor_keyset, planner's own choice); anchor
  lookup (current-revision by id → one_current/pkey); graph path (project edges
  → cross_reference_keyset; endpoint expansion → cross_reference_endpoint_a);
  rights impact (grants by work → rights_grant_work); deletion impact (anchors
  on the edition → evidence_anchor_edition; live export references →
  export_reference_project); project resume (tenant project list →
  study_project_tenant_project; edition segments → study_segment_keyset).
- **Verification**: 6/6 plan tests green; full svc suite 70/70 vs real postgres
  (uuid[] casts on export work_ids found by test); adversarial scan clean. Plans
  are asserted from the database's own EXPLAIN output — nothing is inferred from
  source reading.

## 2026-07-19 — Notebook publication rights gate; YSD-2104 marked

- **The gap** — seven of the eight YSD-2104 evidence surfaces were already
  grant-bound (display via the playback gate + doubly-gated representations,
  processing via the ingest/`model-analysis` gates, collaboration via
  share-project, embedding via representation gate 1's honest refusal, export
  via export-study-trail, retention via the grant-driven expiry sweep, transfer
  via transfer-project). Publication was NOT: notebooks were born `private` with
  no state transition anywhere, so the `publication` action existed in the
  contract with no surface consuming it.
- **The surface** — `set-notebook-publication.ts` (workspace lib): widening a
  notebook's audience is a rights event because notebooks carry evidence
  (citations + anchor-view/image-region embeds). Escalation to `project-shared`
  needs `collaboration`, to `published` needs `publication`, on EVERY distinct
  cited work, evaluated live at change time; narrowing is always allowed; both
  outcomes audited (`notebook-publication-changed` / `-denied` with per-work
  reasons). Session-anchored and vanished anchors deny-by-default.
  Author-or-owner may change state; idempotent same-state is a no-write no-audit
  success. Uncited publication refuses as a typed 400 BEFORE rights (Nisaba's
  cite-at-least-one rule, surfaced as policy).
- **Nisaba keeps notebook truth** — adapter gains `getNotebook` +
  `setNotebookPublicationState` persisting the change as a superseding revision
  through `StudyNotebookSchema.parse` in Nisaba's own store; the workspace
  consumes both through a `NotebookPublicationPort` seam.
- **Route + client** — `POST /api/study/notebooks/:notebookRef/publication`
  added to the manifest (`SetNotebookPublicationBodySchema`), the service, and
  the regenerated client; schema publication + goldens verified drift-free.
- **Verification** — lib 96/96 (11 new: denial reasons, collaboration vs
  publication separation, embed gating, lapsed-grant live re-check, narrowing
  after lapse, uncited refusal, dead-anchor denial, actor rules, idempotency,
  unknown/cross-project refusal); adapter 12/12 (supersession, uncited-publish
  parse refusal, unknown/unavailable outcomes); svc 71/71 vs REAL postgres+MinIO
  including the denied→granted→published journey and a generated-client
  narrowing step; contracts 233/233; all five typecheck configs clean (also
  repaired pre-existing `tsc` breaks in `delete-source.ts`/`in-memory-deps.ts`
  and two spec-config errors); architecture/stub/traceability gates green;
  adversarial grep clean.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-2104.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='notebook publication'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Confidence display for the full YSD-2006 union; YSD-2105 marked

- **The gap** — the workspace UI displayed only the `uncalibrated` arm of the
  confidence union (raw score + "not a probability", asserted by the alignment
  e2e). Calibrated values had no display treatment at all, and `missing`
  rendered as NOTHING — visual absence a reader can misread as unremarkable/high
  confidence, exactly what YSD-2105 forbids.
- **The component** — `StudyConfidenceIndicator` renders every status:
  calibrated is the ONLY arm shown as a probability and always carries its
  uncertainty interval (coverage + bounds), calibration method, applicability
  boundary, and the framing "a machine estimate of detection reliability, not
  interpretive certainty"; uncalibrated keeps the exact native-scale caveat
  sentence the e2e asserts; missing renders its typed reason ("no machine
  confidence — not applicable / not yet calibrated / imported without lineage /
  processor did not report one"). Wired into the alignment-map list for ALL
  correspondences — manual maps now visibly show their explicit confidence
  absence instead of nothing.
- **Verification** — study web suite 10/10 (new spec: exact percent arithmetic
  0.555→55.5%, framing text, native-scale caveat with a no-percent-sign
  assertion, all four missing reasons); web typecheck clean for the changed
  files (remaining reports are pre-existing isis/ai-providers breaks outside
  this surface); alignment e2e's asserted uncalibrated sentence preserved
  verbatim by the component.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-2105.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='confidence display'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Migration rollout discipline + dev seed; YSD-3008 marked

- **Already in place** — forward-only checksummed runner (drift = hard error),
  rollback/forward-fix headers on all six migrations, idempotency + drift
  integration tests, the e2e stack bootstrap. Missing: dev seed data, schema
  compatibility tests, zero/low-downtime rollout verification.
- **Runner** — every migration transaction now runs under
  `SET LOCAL lock_timeout` (default 5s, `MigrationOptions.lockTimeoutMs`): a
  rollout queueing behind a held lock aborts fail-fast — transactionally
  unrecorded and retryable — instead of blocking every later reader/writer
  behind its own lock request.
- **Seed** — `scripts/seed-dev-data.ts`: one coherent, contract-valid project
  (22 records, fixed UUIDs, tenant `tenant-dev-seed`) through the REAL
  PostgresStudyWorkspaceStore: broadly-granted + expired-grant works, link-only
  stream-reference assets (no fabricated bytes), tracks, scene/shot hierarchy,
  anchors, observations, claim, creator statement, contrast link. Idempotent by
  check-then-skip — the schema forbids DELETE by trigger.
- **Rollout suite** — `migrations-rollout.integration.spec.ts`, entirely on
  scratch DATABASES it creates/drops: (1) fresh-replay schema inventory — all 25
  record families with the full envelope block, one_current + keyset indexes,
  immutability/no_delete/anchor/review/audit triggers; (2) held-lock fail-fast —
  ACCESS EXCLUSIVE blocker, 400ms cap, unrecorded, clean retry; (3) 0006 applied
  over 1500 anchors + 300 payload-only segments WHILE a live writer inserts into
  the very table being indexed — zero writer errors, max single-write stall <
  2s, backfill verified row-complete; (4) fresh-vs- stepwise databases converge
  to IDENTICAL schema inventories; (5) seed loads
  - re-run is a no-op.
- **Suite hygiene fixed en route** — query-plans (YSD-3009) had been passing
  against contaminated shared-DB state: isolated on its own scratch database its
  'deletion impact' and 'project resume' assertions FAILED (single-valued
  columns made rival indexes cost-identical; study_project had zero rows).
  Re-seeded selectively (200 projects/20 tenants, 10 editions × 10 works) so
  every plan choice is meaningful; now deterministic. Spec files for this
  service run serially (`fileParallelism: false`) — postgres-store and the
  walking skeleton both reset the shared study schema and raced under file
  parallelism (18-test flake reproduced, then eliminated).
- **Verification** — svc suite 75/75 twice consecutively (6 files, serial);
  rollout suite deterministic across repeated runs; tsc app config clean;
  architecture/stub/traceability gates green.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-3008.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='migration rollout'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Object namespace grammar + stored metadata; YSD-3020 marked

- **The module** — `policies/object-namespaces.ts` (workspace lib): a canonical,
  tenant-first, fully PARSEABLE key grammar for all eleven object classes the
  item names (originals, quarantine, proxies, thumbnail/crop/waveform
  representations, stems, analysis artifacts, learner attempts, exports, temp),
  with typed builders that refuse malformed segments (path traversal, non-uuid
  subjects, uppercase hashes, unsafe slugs), a parser that round-trips every
  class, and a retention-class map (source-bound / quarantine / derived /
  learner-owned / export / temporary) that the YSD-3023 lifecycle policies will
  attach to.
- **Metadata contract** — `StudyObjectMetadataSchema` (class, tenant, retention
  class, subject record, content type) derived from the canonical key alone; the
  service storage adapter now REFUSES writes outside the grammar and stamps
  every stored object with this metadata (YSD-3024 extends the stored set with
  derivation/key-version/policy state).
- **Wired call sites** — ingest originals, representation sidecars, and trail
  exports all build keys through the module; the historical key shapes are
  pinned byte-for-byte by test so existing stored objects stay addressable.
- **Verification** — lib 113/113 (17 new: per-class round-trips, historical
  shape pins, malformed-segment refusals, out-of-grammar parse rejections,
  metadata derivation, total retention-class coverage); full svc suite 75/75
  against real MinIO — every real write passes the new enforcement; all
  typecheck configs clean; stub/architecture gates green.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-3020.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='object namespace'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Storage security: SSE, tenant isolation, presign ceiling; YSD-3021 marked

- **Encryption** — `STUDY_S3_SSE` (none|AES256|aws:kms) +
  `STUDY_S3_SSE_KMS_KEY_ID` flow through every upload via the platform client's
  ServerSideEncryption/ SSEKMSKeyId plumbing; config fails fast when aws:kms
  lacks a key and when a PRODUCTION deployment with S3 configured leaves SSE at
  'none' — encrypted at rest is not optional in production.
- **Tenant isolation, two layers** — (1) auth: `requireAuth` now takes the
  deployment's bound tenant; a validly-signed token for any other tenant is a
  403 `tenant_mismatch` BEFORE any route logic (previously a cross-tenant token
  would have operated this deployment's stores under the caller's claimed tenant
  — found while reading the wiring for this item); (2) storage: the adapter
  parses every key through the YSD-3020 grammar and refuses any key whose tenant
  differs from the deployment's before putFile/putJson/presign/ delete touch
  storage.
- **Short-lived URLs** — `STUDY_PRESIGN_MAX_SECONDS` (default 600, hard
  cap 3600) enforced in the adapter: a presign request above the ceiling is
  refused, never granted. All production presigns are 300–600s.
- **Rights re-check per URL decision** — verified at all four presign sites:
  playback (live authorizePlayback before presign), representations (double gate
  incl. live re-evaluation), exports (per-work evaluation at document creation),
  alignment proposals (model-analysis grant before source bytes are presigned).
  Each is covered by existing lapse/denial tests.
- **Verification** — app.spec 23/23 (3 new: foreign-tenant 403 + own-tenant
  pass, SSE config rules, adapter refusals against an unroutable endpoint
  proving refusal precedes any storage call); full svc suite 78/78 vs real
  postgres+MinIO; tsc clean; stub/architecture gates green.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-3021.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='storage security'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Media limits at ingest + derivative cap; YSD-3022 marked

- **The policy** — `policies/media-limits.ts`: one STUDY_MEDIA_LIMITS object
  covering container allowlist (mp4/quicktime/matroska/webm/mxf), an explicit
  archive refusal list (zip/gzip/tar/7z/rar/zstd/bzip2 — refused because the
  workspace HAS no decompression path, closing the decompression-bomb surface by
  construction), 64 GiB size, 6 h duration, video codec allowlist
  (h264/hevc/vp8/vp9/av1/prores/mjpeg/ffv1/mpeg2video/dnxhd), audio codec
  allowlist, 8K-DCI pixels per frame, 2 592 000 frames, and a 4K-UHD
  derivative-resolution ceiling.
- **Enforcement order** — declared-content-type checks run BEFORE the file is
  read (proved by an identify-call counter of zero); probed checks (size,
  duration, codecs, pixels, frame count — every violation collected and named)
  run after the REAL probe and before any byte reaches storage; refusals are
  audited as ingest-denied and the route maps MediaLimitError to 422
  media_limits with the violation list.
- **Derivative cap** — extractFrame now ALWAYS receives a pixel cap: the
  platform ceiling tightened by a stricter grant limit (`derivativePixelCap`),
  never widened by a looser one.
- **Verification** — lib 121/121 (8 new: archive-before-read with audit + zero
  storage, non-media container, oversize, five-violation battery, healthy
  pass-through, exact-at-limit acceptance, cap tightening); full svc suite 78/78
  vs real stack (the real ffmpeg film passes the limits); typechecks clean;
  stub/architecture gates green.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-3022.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='media limits'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Lifecycle policies: object age sweeps + legal hold; YSD-3023 marked

- **Already in place** — source expiry + revocation-based retention arithmetic
  (sweepRetentionExpiry counts from validUntil OR revokedAt) and confirmed
  deletion (delete-source). This item added the missing layers:
- **Age-driven object sweep** — `sweep-object-lifecycles.ts` deletes processing
  scratch (`tmp/`, > 24 h) and expired quarantine uploads (> 14 d) per
  OBJECT_LIFECYCLE_WINDOWS; ONLY keys that parse as those two classes are ever
  age-deleted (a malformed key smuggled under the prefix is held,
  deny-by-default); rides the /expiry-sweep route + timer; audited with exact
  counts; StudyObjectStore gained `list` (paginated in the S3 adapter,
  tenant-guarded).
- **Legal hold** — `manage-legal-hold.ts`: hold/release the work's WHOLE copy
  graph (work/editions/assets/tracks) in one transaction, audited with reason;
  POST /works/:workId/legal-hold + regenerated client. Hold STATE lives in the
  deletion-state COLUMN (payloads are immutable — reading envelopes for it would
  be silently wrong in production; caught during implementation), read back via
  the new store.listLegalHolds graph query. While held: delete-source refuses
  (423 legal_hold, audited deletion-blocked) and the retention sweep skips the
  work however long expired; release restores both paths.
- **Two real bugs found by the new real-PG test** — (1) media_track.asset_id was
  NEVER filled (FAMILY_EXTRAS entry missing) — added + migration 0007 backfills
  from payload; (2) tombstone()/tombstoneMany() on a held row silently no-opped
  both transitions and STILL wrote the deletion-ledger row — a false deletion
  claim; both now verify no current row survived and abort the transaction (the
  0001 trigger backstops at the database).
- **Verification** — lib 125/125 (4 new lifecycle tests incl. hold-blocks-
  deletion-then-release and hold-outranks-retention-clock); store integration
  19/19 incl. the column-truth hold graph + trigger-refusal test vs REAL PG;
  full svc suite 79/79; schemas/goldens stable, client regenerated; all
  typechecks + gates green.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-3023.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='lifecycle policies'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Per-object stored identity metadata; YSD-3024 marked

- **The contract** — `StudyStoredObjectMetadataSchema` extends the YSD-3020 base
  with contentSha256 + byteSize (exact-byte identity, computed AT THE STORAGE
  SEAM from the very bytes uploaded — never caller-claimed), encryption-key
  version ('none' | 'AES256' | 'aws:kms:<key>' from the adapter's own SSE
  config), and the writer's provenance: sourceRevision, derivedFrom
  (derivation-graph edge: `object:<key>` or `record:<family>:<id>`),
  rightsGrantIds (policy state at write time), and a typed content-credentials
  state (`not-inspected` until Section 4.6 ships the real C2PA inspector;
  `present:<manifestRef>` supported). Lossless flatten to the stored string map.
- **The writers** — ingest stamps the original as its own source revision under
  the covering grant; representations stamp the anchor's technical revision,
  `object:<original key>` parentage, and the deciding grant; exports stamp the
  project revision and EVERY grant that admitted a work. A provenance-less write
  (scratch) stores identity + base only — nothing fabricated.
- **Verification** — lib 127/127 (flatten round-trip incl. kms + present-
  credentials arms, junk-identity refusal, ingest-provenance assertion); svc
  79/79 vs real stack including a NEW end-to-end assertion that the MinIO
  object's stored metadata carries the exact-byte sha equal to the edition's
  content hash plus derivation/rights/credential/encryption fields; typechecks +
  gates green.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-3024.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='stored identity metadata'`.

## 2026-07-19 — Storage-security scenario tests; YSD-3025 marked

- **New real-MinIO suite** — `storage-security.integration.spec.ts` (per-run
  bucket, reachability-gated, hard-fails under STUDY_PG_REQUIRED): (1)
  cross-tenant isolation — tenant B's store can neither read, write, list, nor
  delete tenant A's namespace while A serves its own bytes; (2) stale signed URL
  — a 1-second presign serves 200, then 403 after expiry against real MinIO; (3)
  partial upload — a failed upload leaves NO readable object (client.exists
  false); (4) restore — a deleted key 404s, then a re-upload serves the exact
  original bytes again.
- **New lib case** — interrupted delete: an injected storage failure on the
  first delete aborts deleteSource with records intact, tombstones empty, and
  bytes still claimed; the identical retry completes to full deletion.
- **Already covered, verified by reading** — revoked-grant denial (rights-gate
  reason battery + walking-skeleton revocation path + revocation-based retention
  arithmetic in deletion-expiry); cross-tenant AUTH refusal (app.spec 403
  tenant_mismatch); upload-failure transactional abort (transactions.spec).
- **Verification** — storage-security 4/4 vs real MinIO; lib 128/128; full svc
  suite 83/83 (7 files); typechecks + stub scan green.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-3025** — Section 3.2 rights-aware object storage is now
  COMPLETE (3020–3025).
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='storage-security scenario'`.

## 2026-07-19 — FTS search projection over a transactional outbox; YSD-3040 + YSD-3045 marked

- **Stack per ADR-0074** — Postgres FTS, no external engine: migration 0008 adds
  `study.projection_outbox` and `study.search_document` (weighted tsvector +
  GIN, facets jsonb + GIN, tenant/project scope, and the work_ids each
  document's VISIBILITY depends on).
- **Outbox (3045)** — every putRevisioned (rev-1 and supersession), tombstone,
  and tombstoneMany now appends an outbox row IN THE SAME TRANSACTION as the
  authoritative write: late is possible, silent loss is not. Failures are
  per-row recorded (attempts + last_error) and retried; a poisoned row never
  blocks the queue and is never dropped.
- **Projector + query (3040)** — search-projector.ts maps the SAME six
  families/text fields as the authoritative live search ("the projection
  replaces the scan, not the rights rule"); anchor-grounded records carry the
  works of their cited anchors. searchProjection() evaluates LIVE grants for
  exactly the works each matched document depends on before returning hits or
  facet counts — the index accelerates matching and can never widen visibility;
  epistemic hits stay labeled (YSD-2108 at the projection layer). Rebuild
  deletes a tenant's documents, re-enqueues every current record, and drains to
  convergence (resumable — the queue is durable). Route POST
  /api/study/projection-drain + timer cadence + generated client.
- **Verification** — new scratch-DB suite 6/6 vs real PG: outbox-per-write,
  drain to the exact expected per-family document counts, expired-grant work
  suppressed from hits AND facet counts (matched-but-suppressed counted), kind
  facet narrowing without leakage, supersession retitles + tombstone removes,
  injected-failure row recorded then retried to completion, rebuild converges to
  the byte-identical document set. Full svc suite 89/89 (8 files) incl. a
  generated-client drain step in the walking skeleton; contracts 233/233 with
  schema check stable; gates green. 3044/3046/3047/3048 stay open for the
  vector/graph projections, monitoring, and the full equivalence/leakage
  batteries.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-3040, YSD-3045.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='search projection'`.

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-9030 Character identity & role model (§9.2 character/visual-design lens)

- **Contract (new):** `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/character-profile.ts` —
  `CharacterProfileSchema`, an enveloped study record that is the character-lens
  OVERLAY on the canonical `StudyEntity` of kind `character` (referenced by
  `entityId`; the identity is never re-minted — YSD-0014). New branded id
  `CharacterProfileId` (ids.ts). It adds the two things a generic entity cannot
  express:
  - **Role across scenes/editions/builds** — `roleAssignments` (min 1: a
    character models identity AND role). Each is attributed,
    confidence-carrying, review-stated, and SCOPED: `whole-work` | `edition`
    (needs editionId) | `segments` (needs segmentIds), with the wrong-scope
    fields rejected by superRefine. Narrative-function SEMANTICS stay
    Hathor-owned via an OPTIONAL `taxonomy` ref (domain + termRef) — no theory
    vocabulary is copied into Yemaya (YSD-0014). Casting `prominence`
    (lead…uncredited-extra) is the production-structural attribute the workspace
    owns. Documentary bases (source-metadata/creator-statement) must cite;
    model-authored roles cannot be born accepted.
  - **Presentations across states/disguises/costumes/skins/transformations** —
    `presentations`, each a FACET of the one identity tied to the
    `SourceEdition` (film cut OR game build/patch — YSD-2136) it occurs in and
    the frames that show it (`keyAnchorIds`, `appearsInSegmentIds`).
    `presentationKind` spans costume/disguise/skin/transformation/form/state/
    age-stage/recast/build-variant/other.
- **Anti-appearance-merge guarantee (the heart of YSD-9030, YSD-4052/4053):** a
  presentation attaches to the identity only via `SameIdentityBasis` =
  narrative-continuity | credited-casting | source-metadata | creator-statement
  | authored-assertion. Appearance similarity / visual / biometric / model /
  face match are DELIBERATELY ABSENT from the enum, so two look-alikes cannot be
  collapsed and a disguise/transformation cannot fracture one identity — the
  rule is STRUCTURAL, not a bypassable runtime check.
  `FORBIDDEN_IDENTITY_SIGNALS`
  - `isAppearanceOnlyBasis()` (case/spacing tolerant) let authoring seams reject
    a smuggled appearance justification in free text. Identity MERGES between
    two entities are not performed here at all — they route through the reviewed
    CrossReference identity path (YSD-6089). credited-casting requires the
    performer entity; authored-assertion requires stated reasoning; documentary
    bases require a citation; model-suggested presentations cannot be born
    accepted.
- **Helpers (real behavior, tested):** `editionsForProfile` (cross-edition/
  cross-build reach of one identity), `presentationsInEdition`, `rolesInEdition`
  (whole-work + edition-scoped roles in force for a cut/build).
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts` (CharacterProfile), exported
  from study `index.ts`, canonical+negative+zodOnly examples in `examples.ts`.
  `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 81 schema artifacts (was 80);
  `generate-study-goldens.ts` regenerated (283 cases). Non-route contract — the
  generated client is untouched.
- **Verification:** dedicated `character-profile.spec.ts` (18 tests) covers the
  anti-appearance-merge guarantee, every scope/basis refinement, duplicate-key
  rejection, and the cross-edition helpers. Full study suite 30 files / 346
  tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "79 contracts
  published, no drift, no breaking changes vs baseline v0"; golden `--check`
  "283 fixture cases stable"; adversarial stub-scan clean; eslint clean.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-9030.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-9030'`.

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-9270 Game-design & systems lens model (§9.10)

- **Contract (new):** `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/game-system-model.ts` —
  `GameSystemModelSchema`, an enveloped study record modeling a game build's
  designed system with evidence from play. New branded id `GameSystemModelId`.
  It captures the full vocabulary the item names:
  - **Core loop** — `coreLoop` (min 1 `GameCoreLoopStep`): ordered steps of verb
    → outcome → feedback → goal, with `verbKey`/`feedbackKey`/`goalKey`
    resolving to elements of the matching kind (referential integrity enforced
    at the model level; a feedbackKey pointing at a verb is rejected).
  - **The 11 element kinds** — `GameSystemElement` covers verb, goal, rule,
    resource, constraint, feedback, risk, reward, failure, recovery,
    progression. Each carries a description, evidence basis, evidence tier, play
    anchors, hidden-state/exact-input flags, and independent review provenance.
- **Tier-honesty guarantee (YSD-9270, YSD-12002/12005):** every element is
  tiered against the shared `GameStudyTierSchema` ladder (my YSD-12001):
  - A `video-only` element CANNOT assert hidden engine state or exact inputs —
    those are rejected at parse; they require Tier B (`instrumented-session`) or
    C (`creator-owned`). So a visible inference can never be rendered as engine
    truth.
  - An evidence `basis` demands a minimum tier (`MINIMUM_TIER_FOR_BASIS`):
    telemetry needs Tier B, creator-documented needs Tier C; a telemetry basis
    at a video-only tier is incoherent and rejected.
  - No element may rest on a tier the study did not reach — element
    `evidenceTier` must be subsumed by the model `tier` via `tierChain` (reused
    from game-study-tier.ts).
  - Observed/instrumented elements must anchor at least one moment of play;
    model-authored elements cannot be born accepted.
- **Helpers (real behavior, tested):** `elementsOfKind`, `coreLoopVerbKeys`
  (ordered by step), `evidenceTiersInModel`, `assertsBeyondApparent` (a quick
  downstream gate: a model with any hidden-state/exact-input claim is coherent
  only at Tier B/C).
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts` (GameSystemModel), exported
  from study `index.ts`, canonical (minimal video-only + complete instrumented)
  - structural negatives + cross-field zodOnly examples in `examples.ts`.
    `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 82 artifacts (was 81); goldens 288.
    Non-route contract — the generated client is untouched.
- **Verification:** dedicated `game-system-model.spec.ts` (12 tests) covers the
  full vocabulary, the Tier-A hidden-state/exact-input bar, the basis→tier
  minimums, tier-subsumption, core-loop referential integrity, duplicate-key and
  model-authored-accept rejection, and ordered helpers. Full study suite 31
  files / 357 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check`
  "80 contracts published, no drift, no breaking changes vs baseline v0"; golden
  `--check` "288 fixture cases stable"; adversarial stub-scan clean.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-9270.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-9270'`.

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-13001 Typed study query AST (§13.1 hybrid search foundation)

- **Contract (new):** `libs/contracts/src/study/query-ast.ts` — `StudyQuery`,
  the single typed shape every study search compiles to (NL parsing YSD-13002
  targets it; executors YSD-13003–13011 consume it). Non-enveloped request
  contract (like GraphQueryRequest). Registered as `StudyQuery`.
  - **All fifteen filter dimensions** the item names, as a discriminated
    `QueryFilterSchema` union on `dimension`: source, locator, epistemic,
    taxonomy, text, vector, runtime, relationship, rights, permission,
    synthetic-media, culture, language, review, version.
    `QUERY_FILTER_DIMENSIONS` pins the set (spec asserts exactly 15).
  - **Boolean composition** — a real recursive AST: `StudyQueryNode` =
    `filter | and | or | not` via `z.lazy` with an explicit TS type; `and`/`or`
    take ≥1 clause, `not` is unary. `z.toJSONSchema` emits `$defs`/`$ref` and
    the published JSON Schema validates through ajv (schema-publication.spec).
- **Reuse over re-modeling (YSD-0014):** the epistemic (`EpistemicObjectType`),
  review (`ReviewState`), synthetic-media (`SyntheticMediaDisposition`),
  rights-action (`RightsAction`), work-medium (`WorkMedium`), and
  entity-relation (`EntityRelationKind`) vocabularies are imported from the
  entities, so a filter can never drift from the values it filters. Vector
  modalities and locator kinds mirror the svc vector projection / SourceLocator
  discriminants.
- **No silent match-everything:** every all-optional filter (source, locator,
  rights, permission, version, runtime) rejects an empty constraint set via
  superRefine; frame/time/date windows enforce start ≤ end; a `relation` kind is
  bound to an `entity-relation` path only. `rights`/`permission` are first-class
  dimensions so a query can restrict — never broaden — access (YSD-13012/13013).
- **Helpers (real, tested):** `collectFilters` (leaf walk), `dimensionsUsed`,
  `queryDepth` (boolean nesting), `constrainsAccess` (does the query gate on
  rights/permission — the executor's pre-widen check).
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts`, exported from `index.ts`,
  three canonical examples (single filter; a composed and/or/not tree; an AND
  covering all remaining dimensions) + structural negatives + cross-field
  zodOnly examples. `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 83 artifacts (was 82);
  goldens 290. Non-route contract — the generated client is untouched.
- **Verification:** dedicated `query-ast.spec.ts` (11 tests) covers the fifteen
  dimensions, the no-empty-filter rule, window/relation cross-field rules,
  vocabulary reuse, vector references, recursive depth, and the access-gate

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-12020 Engine-neutral instrumented-session envelope (§12)

- **Contract (new):**
  `libs/contracts/src/study/instrumented-session-envelope.ts` —
  `InstrumentedSessionEnvelope`, the versioned engine-neutral transport envelope
  every instrumented session crosses the connector boundary in (the layer above
  the per-session `InstrumentedSession` record). Non-enveloped transport
  contract. Registered as `InstrumentedSessionEnvelope`. It defines all five
  pieces the item bundles:
  1. **Versioned engine-neutral envelope** — `envelopeVersion` (semver), an
     engine-neutral `SessionEngineIdentity`
     (unreal/unity/godot/v2/custom-runtime; a custom runtime must be named), and
     the honest `captureClass` (YSD-12023).
  2. **Event schema registry** — `SessionEventSchema[]`: per stream a versioned
     schema with accountable `ownerDomain`, `producerBuild`, `clockBasis`
     (session-monotonic/video-clock/engine-frame/event-timestamp — YSD-12021),
     `sequenced`, and `privacyClass` (YSD-12024).
  3. **Signed manifest** — `SignedSessionManifest`: content hash, covered
     streams, event count, capture class, reusing the existing
     `StudyContentSignature`.
  4. **Connector capability handshake** — `ConnectorCapabilityHandshake`:
     protocol version, `maxSupportedTier` (reuses my GameStudyTier ladder),
     supported streams/capture-classes, feature flags, event-rate ceiling.
  5. **Compatibility policy** — `EnvelopeCompatibilityPolicy`: min/max envelope
     version, event-schema compat mode, deprecated versions, with min ≤ max.
- **Structural safety properties:** an instrumented session requires a Tier B/C
  connector (`tierChain(maxSupportedTier)` must include `instrumented-session` —
  a video-only connector cannot emit instrumented telemetry, YSD-12005);
  prohibited-class telemetry may never sit in the durable envelope (filtered
  before ingest, YSD-12025); the envelope version must fall inside the
  connector's own compatibility window; the handshake engine must match the
  envelope engine; the connector must declare support for the capture class it
  produced; the manifest capture class must match; and the manifest must cover
  every declared stream.
- **Helpers (real, tested):** `compareEnvelopeVersions`,
  `envelopeVersionSupported` (window + deprecation), `connectorSupportsCapture`,
  `clockBasesInEnvelope`.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts`, exported from `index.ts`,
  canonical (full + minimal) + structural negatives + cross-field zodOnly
  examples. `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 84 artifacts (was 83);
  goldens 292. Non-route contract — the generated client is untouched.
- **Verification:** dedicated `instrumented-session-envelope.spec.ts` (13 tests)
  covers the tier bar, prohibited-telemetry bar, version-window admission,
  engine agreement, capture-class support, manifest coverage, custom-runtime
  naming, and the compat/version helpers. Full study suite 33 files / 380 tests

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-15090 Portable study manifest (§15.5 portable & offline study)

- **Contract (new):** `libs/contracts/src/study/portable-study-manifest.ts` —
  `PortableStudyManifest`, the self-describing export bundle a study travels in
  across web/desktop/mobile/imported packages. Non-enveloped export artifact.
  Registered as `PortableStudyManifest`. It carries what a study IS by
  reference: `metadata` (project/tenant/export identity + generator), `sources`
  (workId + editionIds + per-edition technical-revision pins = the "versions"),
  `anchors`, `epistemicObjects` (reuse `EpistemicObjectType` + `ReviewState`),
  `links` (cross-references), `views` (saved-graph-view / comparison-set), and a
  `mediaPolicy`.
- **"Without prohibited media" — structural (YSD-15090):** the manifest has no
  field for raw bytes; the only embeddable media is a
  `ManifestEmbeddedDerivative`, and every one MUST name the `rightsGrantId`
  permitting it (YSD-15091 layers the recipient/destination/resolution/duration
  checks on that grant) and carry its own sha256 — there is no unattributed
  media. A `references-only` manifest structurally forbids any embedded
  derivative; `prohibitedMediaExcluded` is an affirmative `z.literal(true)` the
  producer cannot omit or set false.
- **Referential integrity:** every anchor must reference a declared source
  edition; every embedded derivative must derive from a declared edition; every
  epistemic anchor citation must be a declared anchor; every edition-revision
  pin must name an edition in its source's editionIds. Version pins (manifest
  format version + study-contracts schema version + per-edition technical
  revisions) travel with the bundle so a recipient reads the exact revisions.
- **Helpers (real, tested):** `manifestIsReferencesOnly`,
  `manifestReferencesWork`, `manifestEditionRevisions`,
  `embeddedDerivativeGrants` (the grant set a recipient must honor).
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts`, exported from `index.ts`,
  canonical (grant-permitted + references-only) + structural negatives +
  cross-field zodOnly examples. `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 85
  artifacts (was 84); goldens 294. Non-route contract — client untouched.
- **Verification:** dedicated `portable-study-manifest.spec.ts` (9 tests) covers
  the no-prohibited-media bar, references-only vs embedded, rights attribution,
  all four referential-integrity rules, and unknown-kind rejection. Full study
  suite 34 files / 389 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema
  `--check` "83 contracts published, no drift, no breaking changes vs baseline
  v0"; golden `--check` "294 fixture cases stable"; adversarial stub-scan clean.

- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-15090'`.

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-9096 Performance affect-dynamics model (§9.6 performance lens)

- **Contract (new):** `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/affect-dynamics.ts` —
  `PerformanceAffectDynamics`, an enveloped study record modeling the temporal
  shape of an INTERPRETED affective beat. New branded id `AffectDynamicsId`.
  Registered as `PerformanceAffectDynamics`. Models all seven phases the item
  names (`AFFECT_PHASE_KINDS`: onset, build, peak, suppression, leakage,
  recovery, transition), each an anchored, behavior-grounded, uncertain
  interpretation, plus `contextualFacets` (scene-context, character-goal,
  blocking, relationship, prior-beat, cultural-context, genre-convention).
- **Actor-safety wall (YSD-9090/YSD-9098) — structural:** affect is an
  interpretation of the PERFORMANCE, never a claim about the performer's real
  emotion or a diagnosis, never an opaque quality score. Enforced by:
  - `framing` is a required `z.literal('interpreted-not-real-emotion')` the
    producer cannot omit or change;
  - every phase must state its observable `behavioralBasis` (behavior-specific);
  - `intensity` is a qualitative enum (subtle/moderate/pronounced) — a numeric
    intensity is rejected (no quality score, YSD-9095);
  - every phase carries `confidence` so an interpretation is never rendered as a
    detected fact (YSD-9090);
  - there is no field for the performer's identity or presumed mental state.
    Phase orders and facet kinds must be distinct; a model-authored
    interpretation cannot be born accepted (YSD-0019).
- **Helpers (real, tested):** `phasesInOrder`, `affectPhaseKinds`,
  `hasAffectPhase`.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts`, exported from `index.ts`,
  canonical (full dread beat + minimal) + structural negatives (incl. numeric
  intensity, wrong framing, missing behavioral basis) + cross-field zodOnly.
  `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 86 artifacts (was 85); goldens 300.
  Non-route contract — client untouched.
- **Verification:** dedicated `affect-dynamics.spec.ts` (8 tests) covers the
  full phase vocabulary, the framing wall, behavioral-basis requirement,
  qualitative-not-numeric intensity, min-phase/facet, distinctness, and the
  born-accepted rule. Full study suite 35 files / 397 tests green;
  `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "84 contracts published, no
  drift, no breaking changes vs baseline v0"; golden `--check` "300 fixture

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-19123 Governed taxonomy extensions (§19 ecosystem governance)

- **Contract (new):**
  `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/governed-taxonomy-extension.ts` —
  `GovernedTaxonomyExtension`, the enveloped registration/governance record for
  a whole extension VOCABULARY a domain, organization, or community contributes
  on top of the core study taxonomies (individual terms stay `TaxonomyTerm`s;
  this governs their namespace). New branded id `TaxonomyExtensionId`.
  Registered as `GovernedTaxonomyExtension`. Carries all eight governance facets
  the item names: `owner` (kind + id + accountable contact), dotted
  collision-proof `namespace`, `provenance`, `languageScope` (BCP-47, ≥1) +
  `cultureScope`, `compatibility` (mode + baseline vocabulary + core version
  range), `migration` (versioning policy + breaking-change policy), `moderation`
  (status + policy + reviewer), and `removal` (removable + on-removal
  disposition + takedown contact + retention).
- **Governance enforced structurally (YSD-0021):** an `approved` moderation
  status must name a human moderator and time; a non-standalone (additive/
  overlay) extension must declare the baseline vocabulary it extends and a core
  version range; `migrate-to-baseline` removal requires a baseline; orphaning
  usages with zero retention is refused; and a model-created extension cannot be
  born `approved` (approval is a human act). `extensionIsUsable` combines the
  gates a consumer checks (approved + live) before honoring the extension's
  terms.
- **Helpers (real, tested):** `extensionIsModerated`,
  `extensionAppliesToLanguage` (exact tag or primary subtag),
  `extensionIsUsable`.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts`, exported from `index.ts`,
  canonical (additive-only approved + standalone pending) + structural negatives
  - cross-field zodOnly examples. `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 87
    artifacts (was 86); goldens 305. Non-route contract — client untouched.
- **Verification:** dedicated `governed-taxonomy-extension.spec.ts` (9 tests)
  covers the eight facets, the dotted-namespace rule, moderator requirement,
  baseline/version-range requirement, migrate-to-baseline linkage,
  orphan-retention guard, model-self-approval bar, language-scope matching, and
  the usable gate. Full study suite 36 files / 406 tests green;

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-14020 Pedagogical craft concept graph (§14.2 Metis craft concept graph)

- **Contract (new):** `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/pedagogical-concept.ts`
  — `PedagogicalConcept`, one node of the distinct pedagogical concept graph the
  learning system teaches against. New branded id `PedagogicalConceptId`.
  Registered as `PedagogicalConcept`. It does NOT re-mint the concept: the
  canonical concept is Metis-owned and referenced by `MetisConceptRef`
  (YSD-0014); this is the Yemaya-side pedagogical mapping. Carries every facet
  the item names: `conceptOwner` (the craft domain), `definition`,
  `prerequisiteConceptIds` (learning order — YSD-14021–14023),
  `corequisiteConceptIds` and `relatedConceptIds`, `evidenceTypes` (reuses the
  `MasteryEvidenceDimension` six from my YSD-14026 work), `rubricDimensions`
  (the seven YSD-14070–14076 criteria families), `exerciseRefs`,
  `taxonomyVersion`, and `applicability` (cultures + mandatory limitations +
  established/contested sequence state).
- **Kept distinct from the creative plane (YSD-14025):** the node references a
  Metis learning concept, never an `OriginalConcept` — pedagogy and a learner's
  own creative work never collapse into one graph.
- **Coherent structure enforced:** no self-loops (a concept is not its own
  prerequisite/corequisite/related); prerequisite and corequisite sets are
  disjoint (learned before OR alongside, not both); evidence types and rubric
  dimensions are distinct; applicability limitations are always stated; and a
  domain expert may mark a sequence `contested` (YSD-14024). A model-authored
  concept cannot be born accepted (experts curate the graph).
- **Helpers (real, tested):** `conceptPrerequisites`, `isContestedSequence`,
  `conceptEvidenceTypes`.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts`, exported from `index.ts`,
  canonical (with prerequisites + minimal) + structural negatives + cross-field
  zodOnly examples. `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 88 artifacts (was 87);
  goldens 311. Non-route contract — client untouched.
- **Verification:** dedicated `pedagogical-concept.spec.ts` (9 tests) covers the

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-9124 Animation style model (§9.4 animation lens)

- **Contract (new):** `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/animation-style.ts` —
  `AnimationStyleModel`, an enveloped study record modeling a work's animation
  style. New branded id `AnimationStyleModelId`. Registered as
  `AnimationStyleModel`. Carries every dimension the item names: `tradition`
  (hand-drawn-2d/anime-limited/cutout/stop-motion/cg-3d/pixel/rotoscope/
  motion-capture/mixed) + `traditionContext`; `fullness` (limited/full/hybrid)
  and `frameHold` (ones/twos/threes/mixed) for limited/full characteristics;
  `stylizationDegree`; `characteristics` (exaggeration, pose-economy,
  squash-stretch, smear, held-pose, limited-inbetween, cadence-accent — each
  with a degree and anchored evidence); and `cadenceDescription`.
- **Stance: stylization is a choice, not an error (YSD-9123) — structural:** a
  required `framing` literal (`stylization-is-choice-not-error`) the producer
  cannot omit, plus a required `tradition` + context so limited-animation
  cadence, smears, and held poses are read as craft decisions rather than
  defects. Every characteristic and the overall read carry anchors; the read
  carries confidence (never a detected fact); characteristic kinds are distinct;
  a model-authored read cannot be born accepted.
- **Helpers (real, tested):** `styleCharacteristicKinds`, `isLimitedAnimation`,
  `hasStyleCharacteristic`.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts`, exported from `index.ts`,
  canonical (limited anime + full CG) + structural negatives + cross-field
  zodOnly examples. `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 89 artifacts (was 88);
  goldens 317. Non-route contract — client untouched.
- **Verification:** dedicated `animation-style.spec.ts` (8 tests) covers the
  style vocabulary, the framing stance, tradition+context requirement, per-
  characteristic anchoring, min-characteristic, distinctness, limited-vs-full
  without treating either as error, and the born-accepted bar. Full study suite
  38 files / 423 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check`

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-14070 Rubric criteria for anchor accuracy and source use (§14.3)

- **Contract (new):** `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/rubric-criterion.ts` —
  `PedagogicalRubricCriterion`, the assessment criteria for one pedagogical
  rubric dimension (keyed by the seven `RubricDimension`s I defined in
  YSD-14020). New branded id `PedagogicalRubricCriterionId`. Registered as
  `PedagogicalRubricCriterion` (renamed from `RubricCriterion` to avoid a
  collision with the lightweight per-exercise `RubricCriterion` in
  entities/learning.ts). Carries `dimension`, `facets` (e.g. anchor accuracy AND
  source use for 14070), ordered qualitative `levels` with descriptors, worked
  `examples`, and `accommodations`.
- **"Not a taste score" — structural (§6.5/§6.6):** a rubric assesses observable
  craft PROCESS and never collapses into a number. There is NO score field;
  `.strict()` rejects any smuggled `score`/`overallScore`; levels are ORDERED
  qualitative bands (not points); and a required `framing` literal
  (`assesses-craft-not-taste-score`) states the stance. Levels have distinct
  keys and orders; every example illustrates a declared level; a model-authored
  criterion cannot be born accepted (experts curate the rubric).
- **This item:** the contract plus the canonical anchor-accuracy/source-use
  criterion (developing → proficient → exemplary, with worked examples and
  accommodations). YSD-14071–14076 will add canonical criteria for the other six
  dimensions on the same contract.
- **Helpers (real, tested):** `levelsInOrder`, `criterionFacets`,
  `assessesDimension`.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts`, exported from `index.ts`,
  canonical + structural negatives (incl. the smuggled-score cases) +
  cross-field zodOnly. `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 90 artifacts (was
  89, after the rename cleanup); goldens 323. Non-route contract — client
  untouched.
- **Verification:** dedicated `rubric-criterion.spec.ts` (8 tests) covers the
  ordered levels, the no-numeric-score guarantee, min-two-levels, distinct keys/
  orders, example→level coherence, min-facet, unknown-dimension, and
  born-accepted bar. Full study suite 39 files / 431 tests green;

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-14071..14076 Rubric criteria for the remaining six dimensions (§14.3)

- **Deliverable:** on the `PedagogicalRubricCriterion` contract shipped for
  YSD-14070, a real, hand-authored, validated canonical criterion for each of
  the remaining six rubric dimensions — each with dimension-specific facets and
  ordered developing/proficient/exemplary level descriptors (qualitative bands,
  never a score), in `examples.ts` via `mkRubricCriterion`:
  - **YSD-14071** `observation-vs-interpretation` — separating observation from
    interpretation and creator statement from inference.
  - **YSD-14072** `craft-vocabulary` — appropriate craft vocabulary and
    taxonomy/context awareness.
  - **YSD-14073** `uncertainty-limitation-cultural` — uncertainty, limitation,
    cultural context, and causal humility (separating causation from
    correlation).
  - **YSD-14074** `comparison-quality` — comparison quality, inclusion logic,
    dissent, and counterexample selection.
  - **YSD-14075** `original-transfer` — original transfer, transformation from
    principles, and protected/overly-specific-expression avoidance.
  - **YSD-14076** `revision-reflection` — revision quality, reflection, and the
    ability to explain and defend decisions.
- **Verification:** every criterion validates against
  `PedagogicalRubricCriterionSchema` in `schema-publication.spec.ts` (zod +
  published JSON Schema). A new `rubric-criterion.spec.ts` test asserts the
  canonical set ships a valid criterion covering ALL seven `RUBRIC_DIMENSIONS`
  (14070 anchor-accuracy through 14076 revision-reflection), each with ≥2
  ordered levels and no score. Full study suite 39 files / 432 tests green;

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-19122 Signed third-party lens SDK package (§19 ecosystem)

- **Contract (new):** `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/signed-lens-package.ts`
  — `SignedLensPackage`, the registration/sandboxing/governance record for a
  lens a third (or first) party publishes. The lens's declared capability
  manifest is the `LensDefinition` (YSD-9001), referenced by `lensId` +
  `lensDefinitionVersion`; this record adds the eleven SDK facets the item
  names. New branded id `LensPackageId`. Registered as `SignedLensPackage`.
  Reuses `LensSourceType`, `LensCostClass`, `RightsAction`, and
  `StudyContentSignature`.
- **Structural governance gates (YSD-0021):**
  - **signed** — `signature` is required (an unsigned package is rejected);
  - **least privilege** — `grantedPrivileges` must be a subset of
    `requestedPrivileges` (a package can never be granted more than it asked);
  - **sandbox** — isolation + memory/cpu/wall ceilings + a coherent network
    policy (`none` ⇒ empty egress, `allowlist` ⇒ non-empty egress);
  - **source/rights filters** — `permittedSourceTypes` and
    `permittedRightsActions` narrow what reaches the lens;
  - **output schemas** — `outputSchemaRefs` (≥1);
  - **cost** — `costClass` + `maxCostUsdPerRun`; **observability** —
    `requiredObservabilitySignals` (≥1);
  - **conformance** — a `passed`/`failed` result must record `testedAt`;
  - **review** — an `approved` package names reviewer + time, and a model cannot
    self-approve; **revocation** — a revoked package records when and why.
    `packageIsUsable` = approved AND conformance passed AND not revoked AND live
    — the gate a runtime checks before loading the lens.
- **Helpers (real, tested):** `grantedPrivilegesWithinRequested`,
  `packageIsRevoked`, `packageIsUsable`.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts`, exported from `index.ts`,
  canonical (approved + pending) + structural negatives (incl. unsigned) +

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-16001 (accessibility architecture policy)

- **Item:** §16.1 — Define WCAG target, supported assistive-technology matrix,
  browser/OS combinations, desktop baseline, accessible performance fallback,
  ownership, exception process, and release-blocking criteria.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/accessibility-policy.ts` — a
  machine-readable accessibility policy following the
  `service-level-objectives.ts` (YSD-17036) precedent: policy data drives the
  release gate rather than living only in prose. One `AccessibilityPolicy`
  object bundles the eight named facets:
  - **WCAG target** — `WcagTargetSchema` (version ∈ 2.0/2.1/2.2, level ∈
    A/AA/AAA, plus individually-committed AAA success criteria by WCAG number);
  - **AT matrix** — `AssistiveTechnologySupportSchema[]` (screen-reader /
    magnifier / voice-control / switch-access / braille × platform × support
    tier; a supported tier must name tested versions);
  - **browser/OS** — `BrowserSupportSchema[]` (engine chromium/gecko/webkit +
    label + min version + platform + tier);
  - **desktop baseline** — `DesktopBaselineSchema` (a supported baseline must
    name platforms and bind a native a11y API: UIA / NSAccessibility / AT-SPI);
  - **performance fallback** — `AccessiblePerformanceFallbackSchema`
    (`preservesSemanticEquivalence` is `z.literal(true)` — a lossy fallback
    cannot be declared accessible, YSD-16004);
  - **ownership** — accountable role + contact + escalation path;
  - **exception process** — approver, max duration, workaround requirement,
    review cadence, expiry requirement;
  - **release-blocking criteria** — blocking levels + severities + whether
    approved (and unexpired) exceptions unblock.
- **Structural + cross-field guards (real, tested):** matrix must fully support
  ≥1 screen reader; blocking levels may not exceed the WCAG target (AAA
  blockable only when AAA criteria are committed); an unexpired-exception gate
  requires an expiry-mandating process.
- **Release gate (domain logic):** `releaseBlockingFindings` /
  `isReleaseBlocked` compute the findings that block a candidate release —
  unfixed, target-level, blocking-severity findings not covered by an active
  approved exception; `exceptionCovers` correctly denies permanent (null-expiry)
  waivers under an unexpired-only gate and honors expiry against a passed-in
  `nowIso` (no `Date.now()` — deterministic). Canonical

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-17001 (performance environment matrix + methodology)

- **Item:** §17.1 — Define representative hardware, browsers, networks, media,
  project sizes, cache states, source types, assistive settings, and measurement
  methodology for every performance budget.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/performance-environment-matrix.ts` — a
  machine-readable `PerformanceEnvironmentMatrix` bundling the named condition
  sets (`HardwareProfile[]`, `BrowserProfile[]`, `NetworkProfile[]`,
  `MediaProfile[]`, `ProjectSizeProfile[]`, `cacheStates`, `sourceTypes`,
  `assistiveSettings`) plus a `MeasurementMethodology` (percentiles, minimum
  samples, warmup runs, cold+warm requirement, statistic, outlier policy,
  variance handling). So the CI/release performance gates (YSD-17012) measure
  against a fixed, documented matrix rather than ad-hoc laptops.
- **Structural + cross-field guards (real, tested):** distinct ids per profile
  list; `baselineHardwareId` must reference a declared profile whose tier is
  `baseline`; exactly one profile may be the baseline tier; methodology
  percentiles must be strictly increasing.
- **Operational methodology (real statistics, not just data):**
  `percentileValue` (linear-interpolation / type-7 estimator),
  `applyOutlierPolicy` (`none` / `trim-min-max` / `iqr-trim` with the 1.5·IQR
  fence), `hasEnoughSamples` (post-warmup gate), and `reportableValue` (discard
  warmup → apply outlier policy → percentile). A budget's pass/fail is therefore
  reproducible from raw samples. Canonical `STUDY_PERFORMANCE_MATRIX`: baseline
  mid-range laptop, low-end/high-end tiers, Chrome/Firefox/Safari,
  broadband/cable/4G, UHD/HD/game media, small→stress projects, p50/p75/p95 over
  ≥20 post-warmup runs with IQR trimming.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts`
  (`PerformanceEnvironmentMatrix`), exported from `index.ts`, examples block in
  `examples.ts` (2 canonical + 9 structural negatives + 5 cross-field zodOnly).
  `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 93 artifacts (was 92); goldens 332 (was
  330). Non-route contract — client untouched.
- **Verification:** dedicated `performance-environment-matrix.spec.ts` (10
  tests) covers matrix coherence, all four cross-field guards, and known-value
  statistics (p50/p75/p90/p0/p1 of [10..50], trim-min-max, IQR trim, warmup
  drop, in-report outlier trim, minimum-sample gate). Full study suite 42 files

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18042 (technical-metric acceptance criteria + gate)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Define pass thresholds, confidence intervals, minimum slice
  sizes, abstention policy, regression budgets, and owner sign-off for every
  technical metric.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-acceptance.ts` — a
  `MetricAcceptanceCriterion` (registered) keyed by the §18.2 technical metrics
  (`TECHNICAL_METRICS`, 13 metrics from YSD-18030–18041), plus the canonical map
  `STUDY_EVALUATION_ACCEPTANCE`. Each criterion carries: `passThreshold`,
  `confidenceLevel` (0.9/0.95/0.99) + `confidenceBound` (lower/upper/point),
  `minimumSliceSize`, `abstention` (allowed + max rate), `regressionBudget`
  (absolute/relative), and `ownerSignOffRole`.
- **Structural + cross-field guards (real, tested):** a proportion/rate
  threshold must be within [0, 1]; a magnitude metric must gate on the point
  estimate (no interval is computed); the compared bound must be the
  _conservative_ one for the direction (higher-is-better → lower/point;
  lower-is-better → upper/point).
- **Operational gate (real statistics, not just data):** `wilsonInterval`
  (two-sided Wilson score interval, clamped to [0,1]), `zForConfidence` (z
  lookup for the supported levels), and `evaluateMetric` → `pass` / `fail` /
  `insufficient-data`. A slice below the minimum size is `insufficient-data`
  (never a silent pass); a scored slice passes only when the decision value
  (interval bound or point estimate) clears the threshold, the regression stays
  within budget, and abstentions stay within policy. Zero-tolerance criteria:
  `rights-decision-correctness` threshold 1 (point), `permission-leakage-rate`
  threshold 0 with abstention disallowed (YSD-18038).
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts` (`MetricAcceptanceCriterion`),
  exported from `index.ts`, examples block in `examples.ts` (3 canonical + 9
  structural negatives + 4 cross-field zodOnly). `generate-study-schemas.ts`
  published 94 artifacts (was 93); goldens 334 (was 332). Non-route contract.
- **Verification:** dedicated `evaluation-acceptance.spec.ts` (15 tests) covers
  criterion coherence over all 13 metrics, all cross-field guards, known-value
  Wilson intervals (8/10 → [0.4902, 0.9433]; z=1.96), and the gate
  (insufficient-data / lower-bound fail 0.888 / lower-bound pass / zero-leakage
  / magnitude / regression-budget / abstention). Full study suite 43 files / 478

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18001 (gold-set governance policy + usability gate)

- **Item:** §18.1 — Establish governance for versioned gold sets, annotation
  guides, adjudication, legitimate disagreement, licenses, consent, privacy,
  retention, access, publication, and deletion.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/gold-set-governance.ts` — a registered
  `GoldSetGovernancePolicy` bundling eight governance sub-policies: `versioning`
  (published versions immutable, label change → new version — no silent post-hoc
  relabeling, YSD-18013), `annotationGuide` (required, min annotators),
  `adjudication` (method + legitimate-disagreement preserved, YSD-18010/18060),
  `clearance` (license + consent + privacy all mandatory as `z.literal(true)` —
  a policy cannot waive them), `retention` (max + review cadence, withdrawal
  always honored), `access` (tiers + default + export role), `publication`
  (internal-only default, external needs approval), and `deletion` (store
  boundaries, right-to-deletion honored). Canonical `STUDY_GOLD_SET_GOVERNANCE`.
- **Structural + cross-field guards (real, tested):** deletion boundaries must
  include `backups` (a set recoverable from a backup is not deleted); review
  cadence must not exceed retention; the default access tier must be a declared
  tier; the `expert-adjudicator` method requires an adjudicator.
- **Usability gate (operational):** `goldSetUsableForEvaluation(policy, status)`
  → `{ usable, reasons[] }`. A gold set may gate a release only when license,
  consent, and privacy are cleared, the annotation guide is present with enough
  annotators, adjudication is resolved, the set is un-withdrawn, and it is
  within retention — every failing condition is named (auditable refusal,
  mirrors the `signed-lens-package` `packageIsUsable` pattern).
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts` (`GoldSetGovernancePolicy`),
  exported from `index.ts`, examples block in `examples.ts` (2 canonical + 8
  structural negatives + 4 cross-field zodOnly). `generate-study-schemas.ts`
  published 95 artifacts (was 94); goldens 336 (was 334). Non-route contract.
- **Verification:** dedicated `gold-set-governance.spec.ts` (11 tests) covers
  policy coherence, all cross-field guards, mandatory-clearance literals, and
  the usability gate (accept / missing-consent / withdrawn / past-retention /
  too-few-annotators / unresolved-adjudication / multi-reason). Full study suite

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18003 (expert participation governance + eligibility gate)

- **Item:** §18.1 — Define expert conflict-of-interest, compensation,
  attribution, confidentiality, review, and withdrawal procedures.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/expert-participation.ts` — a
  registered `ExpertParticipationPolicy` bundling six sub-policies:
  `conflictOfInterest` (declaration required, disqualifying relations,
  cooling-off, financial-stake threshold), `compensation` (model + currency +
  `paidRegardlessOfOutcome` as `z.literal(true)` — pay is never contingent on
  reaching a judgment), `attribution` (`namingRequiresConsent` + `optOutAllowed`
  literals), `confidentiality` (NDA, embargo, prohibited disclosures), `review`
  (expert work reviewed + appeal), and `withdrawal` (`allowedAnytime` literal +
  data handling). Canonical `STUDY_EXPERT_PARTICIPATION`.
- **Structural + cross-field guards (real, tested):** integrity literals cannot
  be waived (outcome-contingent pay, naming without consent, no-withdrawal all
  rejected structurally); a cooling-off requirement needs a positive window.
- **Eligibility gate (operational):** `expertIsEligible(policy, declaration)` →
  `{ eligible, reasons[] }`. An expert is barred by any declared disqualifying
  relation, a financial stake at/above the threshold, or a cooling-off
  violation; a non-listed relation (e.g. personal-relationship, when the policy
  does not disqualify it) does not bar. Every barring reason is named.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts` (`ExpertParticipationPolicy`),
  exported from `index.ts`, examples block in `examples.ts` (2 canonical + 9
  structural negatives + 1 cross-field zodOnly). `generate-study-schemas.ts`
  published 96 artifacts (was 95); goldens 338 (was 336). Non-route contract.
- **Verification:** dedicated `expert-participation.spec.ts` (11 tests) covers
  integrity literals, cross-field guards, and the eligibility gate (clean /
  authored-source / at-threshold stake (5000) vs below (4999) / cooling-off /
  non-disqualifying relation / multi-reason). Full study suite 45 files / 499

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-17100 (deployment / data-residency policy + placement gate)

- **Item:** §17.5 — Define environments, region/tenant data placement,
  object/database/index residency, model-provider routes, signing keys, backups,
  and deletion boundaries.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/deployment-residency.ts` — a
  registered `DeploymentResidencyPolicy` bundling: `environments` (name → served
  regions), `storeResidency` (per store class: `tenant-region-only` vs
  `tenant-region-or-dr`, encrypted-at-rest literal), `disasterRecovery` (region
  → DR-region pairs), `modelRoutes` (cross-region egress + approved routes),
  `signingKeys` (per-env isolated + rotation + reference literals), `backups`
  (residency scope + retention + encrypted literal), and `deletionBoundaries`
  (store classes). Canonical `STUDY_DEPLOYMENT_RESIDENCY`.
- **Structural + cross-field guards (real, tested):** every store class must
  have exactly one residency rule; deletion boundaries must include
  object/relational/ backup; approved cross-region routes require egress
  enabled; a DR region must differ from its primary.
- **Placement gate (operational):**
  `placementSatisfiesResidency(policy, placement)` →
  `{ compliant, violations[] }`. Refuses a store/backup outside the tenant's
  region (honoring the per-class DR scope via `drRegionFor`), a tenant region
  the environment does not serve, and an unapproved cross-region model route.
  Every violation is named — a cross-region leak is caught, not trusted.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts` (`DeploymentResidencyPolicy`),
  exported from `index.ts`, examples block in `examples.ts` (2 canonical + 8
  structural negatives + 4 cross-field zodOnly). `generate-study-schemas.ts`
  published 97 artifacts (was 96); goldens 340 (was 338). Non-route contract.
- **Verification:** dedicated `deployment-residency.spec.ts` (12 tests) covers
  policy coherence, all cross-field guards, and the placement gate (in-region /
  DR backup / DR-scoped store eu-ok-apac-no / tenant-region-only refusal /

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-15073 (engine-neutral game-session export + adapter packages)

- **Item:** §15.4 — Define engine-neutral game-session export plus approved
  Unreal, Unity, Godot, and product-specific adapter packages.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/game-session-export.ts` — two
  registered contracts: `GameSessionExport` (references-only, coordinates
  normalized to the neutral frame — both `z.literal(true)`, so a lossy or
  un-normalized export is structurally rejected; ties to YSD-15075) and
  `GameSessionExportAdapter` (per-engine adapter descriptor: engine family,
  version, coordinate convention, supported capture classes/streams, conformance
  status, `approved`, detached signature). Canonical approved adapters
  `STUDY_GAME_EXPORT_ADAPTERS` for Unreal, Unity, Godot, and the V2 product
  runtime.
- **Real coordinate math (not a label):** `GameCoordinateConvention` declares a
  signed right/up/forward basis + unit scale;
  `coordinateTransformMatrix(from, to)` composes the basis change through the
  canonical (glTF) frame with the unit-scale ratio
  (`M = (scaleFrom/scaleTo)·R_to^T·R_from`); `toNeutralFrame` normalizes a
  point; `computedHandedness` derives left/right from the determinant of the
  basis and the schema **rejects a convention whose declared handedness
  disagrees with its basis** (a mislabeled Unreal/Unity/Godot frame cannot
  ship). Known values: 100cm Unreal +X (forward) → neutral (0,0,-1)m; +Z (up) →
  (0,1,0); +Y (right) → (1,0,0).
- **Deliverability gate (operational):**
  `gameSessionExportIsDeliverable(export, adapters)` →
  `{ deliverable, reasons[] }` refuses an export whose adapter is unknown,
  unapproved, non-conformant, engine-mismatched, or missing a declared stream.
  Adapter guard: `approved` requires `conformanceStatus === 'passed'`.
- **Scope note:** this delivers the export FORMAT and the approved adapter
  PACKAGE contracts (with real coordinate normalization + conformance/approval
  gating). Runtime round-trip translation is exercised by the downstream §15.4
  tests (YSD-15074 glTF, YSD-15076 game-envelope round-trip), which consume
  these contracts.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts` (`GameSessionExport`,
  `GameSessionExportAdapter`), exported from `index.ts` (renamed
  `GameCoordinateConvention*` to avoid the `aja` domain's
  `CoordinateConvention`), examples in `examples.ts` (adapter: 2 canonical + 8
  negatives + 3 zodOnly; export: 1 canonical + 8 negatives).
  `generate-study-schemas.ts` published 99 artifacts (was 97); goldens 344 (was
  340). Non-route contracts.
- **Verification:** dedicated `game-session-export.spec.ts` (11 tests) covers
  handedness derivation, Unreal→neutral normalization known values,
  neutral-frame identity, mislabeled-handedness rejection, the literal-true
  guards, and the deliverability gate (deliver / unknown-adapter /

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-16002 (semantic interaction specifications)

- **Item:** §16.1 — Create semantic interaction specifications for player,
  timeline, annotation, comparison, inspiration canvas, graph, matrix, concept
  map, notebook, practice, dialogs, and live sessions before implementation.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/semantic-interaction-spec.ts` — a
  registered `SemanticInteractionSpec` (root ARIA role, focus model, keyboard
  interactions, live-region announcements, required accessible names, optional
  navigable textual equivalent, reduced-motion behavior) plus the canonical
  `STUDY_INTERACTION_SPECS` covering all 12 surfaces. The deliverable is the
  specifications themselves — authored before implementation, which YSD-16003
  (primitives) and the surface components will consume.
- **Structural + cross-field guards (real, tested):** keyboard chords must be
  distinct; a visualization surface (timeline/comparison/inspiration-canvas/
  graph/matrix/concept-map) **must** declare a navigable textual equivalent
  (`navigable: z.literal(true)`, YSD-16004) and a non-visualization surface must
  not; a dialog must trap focus; a matrix must use grid navigation.
- **Wiring:** registered in `schema-registry.ts` (`SemanticInteractionSpec`),
  exported from `index.ts`, examples in `examples.ts` (3 canonical + 8
  structural negatives + 5 cross-field zodOnly). `generate-study-schemas.ts`
  published 100 artifacts (was 99); goldens 346 (was 344). Non-route contract.
- **Verification:** dedicated `semantic-interaction-spec.spec.ts` (8 tests)
  asserts a spec for every surface with distinct bindings, a navigable textual
  equivalent for every visualization (and none otherwise), the dialog focus-trap
  / matrix grid-navigation rules, and the duplicate-binding / non-navigable
  rejections. Full study suite 48 files / 530 tests green;

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18030 (source-identity match-accuracy metrics)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Measure SourceWork and SourceEdition/build match accuracy,
  ambiguous-match handling, false merge, and keep-distinct accuracy.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-metrics.ts` — pure
  functions over labeled pairwise decisions: `confusionFromDecisions` (2x2
  confusion over scored decisions) and `matchAccuracyMetrics` → accuracy,
  matchRecall, matchPrecision, `falseMergeRate` (gold-distinct pairs wrongly
  merged), `keepDistinctAccuracy`, and `abstentionRate`. An `ambiguous`
  prediction is an **abstention** — excluded from the confusion matrix (never
  counted correct or wrong) and reported separately, so a model cannot inflate
  accuracy by hedging. Ratios return `null` (not a fabricated 0/1) when their
  denominator is zero.
- **Delivery-order coherence:** these are the raw numbers the YSD-18042
  acceptance criteria + Wilson-interval gate judge; the spec includes an
  integration test feeding a computed result straight into `evaluateMetric`
  (perfect 200-pair slice → `pass`; the 8-scored small slice →
  `insufficient-data`).
- **Wiring:** exported from `index.ts`; pure-computation module, no zod schema,
  so no registry/goldens/client change (published contracts stay 98, goldens
  346).
- **Verification:** dedicated `evaluation-metrics.spec.ts` (5 tests) with known
  values (3 TP / 1 FN / 1 FP / 3 TN + 2 abstentions → accuracy 0.75, falseMerge
  0.25, keepDistinct 0.75, abstention 0.2; keepDistinct + falseMerge = 1),

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18031 (boundary detection precision/recall with tolerance)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Measure scene, shot, beat, speaker, word, sound-event, pose,
  action, contact, gameplay-phase, and document-boundary precision/recall with
  tolerance definitions.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `BOUNDARY_KINDS` + `BOUNDARY_TOLERANCES` (the tolerance definitions: shot
  0.5s, scene 2.0s, word 0.15s, contact 0.08s, document-boundary 0 exact, …),
  `toleranceForBoundary`, `boundaryDetectionMetrics(predicted, gold, tolerance)`
  and the convenience `measureBoundaries(kind, …)`. Matches predicted to gold
  **one-to-one within the tolerance window** (each gold pairs with its nearest
  unmatched prediction); unmatched predictions are false positives
  (over-segmentation), unmatched gold are misses. Returns precision/recall/F1,
  null when a denominator is zero.
- **Verification:** dedicated tests (5 added) with known values —
  within-tolerance matching (3 TP / 1 FP / 1 FN → P=R=F1=0.75), exact zero
  tolerance, one-to-one crowding (two predictions near one gold → 1 TP + 1 FP,
  recall 1, F1 2/3), null-precision / zero-recall edges, and per-kind tolerance
  application (0.3s off matches a shot but not a word). Full study suite 49

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18034 (confidence calibration metrics)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Measure confidence calibration, reliability curves,
  abstention, coverage, expected calibration error, and behavior under
  distribution shift rather than raw confidence magnitude.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `calibrationMetrics(predictions, numBins=10)` bins predictions into
  equal-width confidence bins and reports **Expected Calibration Error**
  (confidence-weighted mean of |accuracy − confidence| over non-empty bins),
  **Max Calibration Error**, the **reliability curve** (per-bin count /
  avg-confidence / accuracy), **coverage** (scored / total), and abstention.
  Abstained predictions are excluded from calibration and lower coverage —
  measuring calibration, never rewarding raw over-confidence. Invalid
  confidences (outside [0,1]) and bad bin counts throw; ECE is `null` when
  nothing was scored (not a fabricated 0).
- **Verification:** dedicated tests (4 added) with known values — 5@0.9(80% acc)
  - 5@0.5(60% acc) → ECE 0.1, MCE 0.1, bin[0.9,1.0) accuracy 0.8; perfect
    calibration (conf 1 correct / conf 0 wrong) → ECE 0; abstention lowering
    coverage to 0.5; null-ECE and throw-on-bad-input edges. Full study suite 49

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18035 (claim, citation, and epistemic quality metrics)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Measure claim-to-anchor completeness, citation restore rate,
  unsupported-claim rate, epistemic misclassification, and creator-intent
  conflation.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `claimSupportMetrics` (completeness = claims with ≥1 anchor / total, plus the
  unsupported-claim rate), `citationRestoreRate` (resolved citations / total),
  and `epistemicLabelingMetrics` (overall misclassification rate **plus** a
  separate `creatorIntentConflationRate`). Conflation — passing a reader's
  interpretation off as the creator's stated intent, or the reverse — is counted
  distinctly because it is a more serious error than an ordinary type confusion.
  All ratios return `null` on empty input rather than a fabricated score.
- **Verification:** dedicated tests (5 added) with known values — completeness
  0.75 / unsupported 0.25 over 4 claims; citation restore 0.75;
  misclassification 0.75 with 2 of the errors being creator-intent conflations
  (rate 0.5); a correct creator-statement label is not conflation; completeness
  feeds the YSD-18042 `claim-anchor-completeness` gate (120 supported → pass).

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18036 (cross-reference quality metrics by relation type)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Measure cross-reference precision, calibration,
  keep-distinct accuracy, explanation sufficiency, review workload, and false
  identity merge by relation type.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `crossReferenceMetrics` (precision, keep-distinct accuracy,
  false-identity-merge count + rate, explanation-sufficiency rate,
  review-workload rate) and `crossReferenceMetricsByRelation` which groups the
  same metrics per relation type so a weak relation kind (e.g. `same-function`)
  is not hidden by strong ones (`keep-distinct`). A false identity merge is
  asserting same-identity when the gold is distinct — the highest-severity
  cross-reference error. Calibration is covered by the shared

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18037 (source-to-decision path & traversal metrics)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Measure source-to-decision path completeness, broken-edge
  rate, impact-analysis precision/recall, stale dependency detection, and
  permission leakage through traversal.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `pathCompletenessMetrics` (completeness = paths with zero broken edges;
  broken- edge rate = broken edges / all edges), `setImpactMetrics` (set-based
  precision/recall/F1 of predicted-impacted vs gold-impacted decision ids,
  de-duplicated), `staleDependencyMetrics` (stale-detection recall + precision),
  and `traversalLeakageMetrics` (leaks + `zeroLeakage` flag — permission leakage
  through graph traversal must be exactly zero, ties to YSD-18038).
- **Verification:** dedicated tests (4 added) with known values — completeness
  2/3 with broken-edge rate 1/9; impact P=R=F1=2/3 with duplicate collapse;
  stale recall/precision 0.5/0.5; leakage flagged (rate 0.5, zeroLeakage false)
  and a clean/empty traversal set reporting zeroLeakage true. Full study suite

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18039 (rights enforcement quality metrics)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Measure rights-decision correctness, expiry/revocation
  timing, blocked-action coverage, consent enforcement, and audit completeness.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `rightsDecisionMetrics` (correctness rate plus **wrongAllows** surfaced
  separately — granting access that should be denied is the unsafe error class
  the zero-tolerance YSD-18042 criterion blocks on), `blockedActionCoverage`,
  `postRevocationBlockRate` (expiry/revocation timing — post-revocation accesses
  correctly blocked), `consentEnforcementRate`, and `auditCompletenessRate`.
- **Verification:** dedicated tests (3 added) — correctness 0.5 with wrong-allow
  and wrong-deny separated; coverage / revocation / consent all 0.5; audit
  completeness 0.75; and the zero-tolerance gate integration (200 correct →
  pass; a single wrong-allow among 200 → fail under the point-estimate threshold
  of 1). Full study suite 49 files / 559 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json`
  clean; schema `--check` "98 contracts published, no drift, no breaking

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18040 (deletion completion & latency across stores)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Measure deletion completion and latency across object,
  relational, search, vector, graph, time-series, cache, export, local/offline,
  and model/intermediate stores.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `DELETION_STORE_TARGETS` (the 10 stores) and
  `deletionMetrics(outcomes, latencyPercentile)`: overall + per-store completion
  rates and a per-store latency percentile (reusing the performance module's
  `percentileValue`), plus request-level settlement — a deletion request is
  settled only when **every** one of its store outcomes completed, so a single
  lagging store keeps the request unsettled and visible. Ratios return `null` on
  empty input.
- **Verification:** dedicated tests (3 added) — the 10 store targets are
  enumerated; a mixed set gives overall completion 0.75, per-store object
  completion 1 with p95 latency 290 (interpolated over [100,300]) and relational
  0.5, and request settlement 0.5 (only the request that reached both stores); a
  40-request fully-settled set feeds the YSD-18042 deletion-latency-seconds gate
  → pass. Full study suite 49 files / 562 tests green;
  `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "98 contracts published, no
  drift, no breaking changes"; stub-scan clean.

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18041 (job reliability metrics)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Measure job success, retry recovery, idempotency, latency,
  cost, cancellation, partial success, stale-output, and duplicate-effect rates.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `jobReliabilityMetrics(jobs, latencyPercentile)`: success rate, retry-recovery
  rate (recovered / retried), idempotency-violation rate, latency percentile,
  mean cost, and cancellation / partial-success / stale-output /
  duplicate-effect rates. Idempotency violations and duplicate effects are
  surfaced as their own rates because both must be zero — a retried job must
  never double-charge, double-notify, or emit a second output.
- **Verification:** dedicated tests (3 added) — over a 10-job set: success 0.8,
  retry-recovery 2/3, idempotency/duplicate/cancellation/partial/stale all 0.1,
  latency p95 100, mean cost 0.5; null retry-recovery when nothing retried; and
  the YSD-18042 job-success-rate gate (500 perfect → pass, 450 →
  insufficient-data under the 500-sample minimum). Full study suite 49 files /
  565 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "98
  contracts published, no drift, no breaking changes"; stub-scan clean.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-18041.** §18.2 technical metrics now substantially covered
  (18030/18031/18034/18035/18036/18037/18039/18040/18041 done; 18032/18033
  remain).
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-18041'`.

## 2026-07-21 — YSD-18032 (synchronization error, drift & gap detection)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Measure timecode, subtitle, commentary, transcript, proxy,
  and telemetry synchronization error plus drift/gap detection.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `syncErrorMetrics(samples, percentile)` reports the absolute sync error
  (mean/max/percentile of |measured − reference|) **and** the drift rate,
  estimated by least-squares regression of the signed offset against reference
  time — a nonzero slope is clock drift, distinct from a constant offset (the
  absolute error stays symmetric, the drift keeps its sign).
  `detectGaps( timestamps, maxGapSeconds)` sorts and reports spacings that
  exceed the maximum as coverage gaps (missing subtitles/telemetry).
- **Verification:** dedicated tests (4 added) — offset growing 0.01s/reference-s
  gives mean error 0.25, max 0.4, p95 0.385, drift slope 0.01 with intercept
  0.1; single-sample drift is null; gap detection over unsorted input finds the
  one 3-second gap and rejects a negative window; the p95 error feeds the
  YSD-18042 sync-error-seconds gate (40 tight samples → pass). Full study suite
  49 files / 569 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check`
  "98 contracts published, no drift, no breaking changes"; stub-scan clean.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-18032.** §18.2 technical metrics: 10 of 12 done — only
  YSD-18033 (tracking/pose/transcript/OCR/source-separation/retrieval by slice)
  remains.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-18032'`.

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18033 (tracking, region/mask, pose, transcript, OCR, separation & retrieval quality by slice)

- **Item:** §18.2 — Measure tracking stability, region/mask accuracy, pose
  error, transcript error, OCR error, source-separation quality, and retrieval
  relevance by slice.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/evaluation-metrics.ts` (extended, pure
  functions — no schema/registry/goldens) implementing the seven SOTA families:
  - **Region/mask:** `boxIoU`, `maskIoU`, `diceCoefficient`, and
    `regionAccuracyMetrics` (mean IoU/Dice + fraction clearing an IoU
    threshold). Empty-gold∧empty-pred scores as perfect agreement (1), the
    standard 0/0 segmentation convention.
  - **Tracking:** `trackingMetrics` — CLEAR-MOT accounting over a temporally
    ordered frame sequence: misses, false positives, identity switches
    (per-track predicted-id change), fragmentations (resumption of an
    established track), MOTA, MOTP, and a bounded `trackingStability`
    proportion.
  - **Pose:** `poseErrorMetrics` — MPJPE (mean per-joint Euclidean error over
    visible joints) and PCK (percentage of correct keypoints within a
    per-pose-scaled threshold); `euclideanDistance` helper.
  - **Transcript/OCR:** `editDistanceOps` (Levenshtein with S/D/I backtrace),
    `wordErrorRate` (WER), `characterErrorRate` (CER — edits and denominator
    both in Unicode code points).
  - **Source separation:** `scaleInvariantSdr` (SI-SDR in dB via projection of
    the estimate onto the reference; +∞ perfect, −∞ orthogonal) and
    `separationQualityMetrics` (mean over finite ratios, perfect/silent counted
    separately).
  - **Retrieval:** `discountedCumulativeGain` / `normalizedDcg` (exponential
    gain `2^rel−1`, `log2(rank+1)` discount; rejects negative grades) and
    `retrievalRelevanceMetrics` (mean nDCG, MRR, precision@k).
  - **By slice:** generic `bySlice(items, metric)` groups any family's evals (or
    tracking frames) by an optional `slice` label so a hard cohort cannot be
    masked by an easy majority.
- **Verification:** 15 known-value tests added (`evaluation-metrics.spec.ts`,
  file now 54 tests): box IoU 1/7 and mask IoU 0.4 / Dice 20/35; tracking
  fixture with an id-switch, a miss, an FP and a resumption → MOTA 0.625, MOTP
  0.85, stability 0.75; MPJPE 5 and PCK 2/3 over joints at distance {0,5,10};
  WER 0.5 (`the quick brown fox` → `the quik brown`) and CER 0.2 (`hello` →
  `helo`), astral CER 1/3 for `😀ab`→`😀ax`; SI-SDR ≈19.168 dB and scale
  invariance to `+∞`; nDCG 0.94881 on the graded example `[3,2,3,0,1,2]`, MRR
  and precision@k; by-slice keeps a night-slice accuracy 0 visible next to a
  daylight-slice accuracy 1. The stability proportion feeds the YSD-18042
  `tracking-stability` gate (60-frame perfect slice → pass; 40 < minimum 50 →
  insufficient-data, never a silent pass). Full study suite 49 files / 584 tests
  green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "98 contracts
  published, no drift, no breaking changes"; goldens `--check` "346 fixture
  cases stable"; stub-scan clean. A read-only Codex review flagged three edge
  cases (mask 0/0 convention, CER Unicode denominator units, nDCG negative
  grades) — all fixed with dedicated tests before marking.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-18033.** §18.2 technical-quality metrics now COMPLETE (all
  of 18030–18042). `evaluation-metrics.ts` holds the eleven metric families.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-18033'`.

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18060 (inter-rater agreement vs disagreement coverage)

- **Item:** §18.3 — Measure inter-rater agreement only where a shared correct
  answer is meaningful, and measure disagreement coverage/context where it is
  not.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/human-quality-metrics.ts` (new pure-fn
  module, no schema/registry/goldens; exported from the study index) with the
  YSD-18060 epistemic partition:
  - **Reliability coefficients (objective items):** `cohensKappa` (two raters,
    chance-corrected), `fleissKappa` (fixed rater count, many items),
    `krippendorffAlpha` (nominal metric via a coincidence matrix — tolerates any
    rater count and missing data), and `percentAgreement` (raw pairwise).
  - **Disagreement measures (contested items):** `disagreementCoverageMetrics` —
    `positionCoverage` (fraction of an item's declared _legitimate_ positions
    actually voiced, so a minority reading is not silenced by the majority),
    `documentationRate` (disagreement recorded with rationale), and
    `genuineDisagreementRate`. Contested items are never scored as reliability
    error.
  - **`raterAgreementMetrics`** partitions items on `hasSharedCorrectAnswer` and
    applies agreement statistics ONLY to the objective partition and
    coverage/context ONLY to the contested partition — encoding the checklist's
    core requirement structurally. Cohen's/Fleiss' kappa are emitted only when
    their preconditions hold (two complete raters; a uniform rater count), never
    fabricated from ill-fitting data; a coefficient that is undefined (single
    category, no pairable data) returns `null`.
- **Verification:** 8 known-value tests (`human-quality-metrics.spec.ts`):
  Cohen's kappa 0.4 from a 2x2 table (po 0.7, pe 0.5); Fleiss' kappa 0.55 for 3
  raters over items (3a),(3b),(2a,1b) (P̄ 7/9, P̄e 41/81, κ 22/40); Krippendorff's
  alpha 0.53333 for the (a,a),(a,b),(b,b),(b,b) coincidence case (Do 0.25, De
  30/56); perfect-agreement → 1; single-category/empty → null; uneven Fleiss
  counts throw; and the objective/contested partition (agreement over the 3 fact
  items, coverage 7/12 and documentation 0.5 over the 2 interpretive items).
  Full study suite 50 files / 592 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean;
  schema `--check` "98 contracts published, no drift"; goldens `--check` "346
  fixture cases stable"; stub-scan clean. A read-only Codex review confirmed the
  Cohen's-kappa and Krippendorff's-alpha math (including missing-data /
  variable-rater handling) and flagged one robustness gap — `fleissKappa` would
  silently drop an undeclared category from its totals — now fixed to throw on
  undeclared categories, with a test.

  human-quality-metrics.ts module for the rest of §18.3.

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18061 (learner epistemic-distinction ability)

- **Item:** §18.3 — Measure learner ability to distinguish source fact,
  detection, observation, interpretation, (craft) hypothesis, creator statement,
  and practice result.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/human-quality-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `epistemicDistinctionMetrics(items)` scores a learner's classification of
  items into the seven `EPISTEMIC_OBJECT_TYPES` (reused from
  epistemic-object-types.ts, not redefined): overall accuracy, chance-corrected
  agreement with the gold labels (Cohen's kappa, reusing `cohensKappa`),
  macro-F1 averaged over the gold-present types (a missed type scores 0, never
  dropped, so misses cannot be averaged away), and a full per-type
  precision/recall/F1 confusion breakdown. The study-specific core is three
  named consequential confusions via `crossGroupConfusionRate`:
  interpretation↔creator-statement (whose claim is this — the highest-stakes
  conflation, mirroring YSD-18035), observation↔interpretation (the YSD-14071
  rubric distinction), and evidence↔inference (source-fact/detection vs the five
  inferential/authored types). These named confusions are what make it a
  study-workspace metric rather than a renameable generic classifier score.
- **Verification:** 4 known-value tests (`human-quality-metrics.spec.ts`, file
  now 12 tests) over a 9-item fixture (6 correct + obs→interp, interp→creator,
  creator→interp): accuracy 6/9; macro-F1 0.72381 (per-class F1s
  1,1,0.667,0.4,1,0,1); interpretation P 1/3, R 1/2, F1 0.4; creator-statement
  F1 0 (never correctly found); observation F1 2/3;
  interpretation↔creator-statement conflation 2/3; observation↔interpretation
  1/4; evidence↔inference 0; Cohen's kappa non-null and strictly below raw
  accuracy (chance-corrected); a perfect learner scores 1/1/1 with 0 conflation;
  an empty set is all-null. Full study suite 50 files / 596 tests green;
  `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "98 contracts published, no
  drift"; goldens `--check` "346 fixture cases stable"; stub-scan clean. A
  read-only Codex review of the confusion-matrix, macro-F1 convention, and
  cross-group confusion logic found no bugs.

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18062 (improvement across attempts)

- **Item:** §18.3 — Measure improvement in source-based analysis, contextual
  humility, counterexample use, original transfer, revision, and explanation
  across attempts.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/human-quality-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `IMPROVEMENT_DIMENSIONS` (the six named craft axes) and
  `improvementMetrics(scores, maxScore)`, which per dimension reports: Hake's
  normalized learning gain `g = (post − pre) / (max − pre)` averaged over
  learners whose pre-score left room to grow (a ceiling pre-score is excluded,
  not counted as zero improvement), the fraction of learners who improved, the
  mean per-learner least-squares trajectory slope (growth shape, not just
  endpoints), the mean raw score change, and the pre→post Cohen's d effect size
  (standardized mean difference, pooled SD). A learner needs at least two
  attempts for change to be measurable; single-attempt learners are excluded.
- **Verification:** 2 known-value tests (`human-quality-metrics.spec.ts`, file
  now 14 tests) over a two-learner 0–4 rubric fixture (L1 1→2→3, L2 2→2→4): mean
  normalized gain 5/6 (2/3 and 1); improvement rate 1; mean slope 1; mean delta
  2; Cohen's d 2/√0.5 ≈ 2.8284 (pre [1,2] mean 1.5, post [3,4] mean 3.5, pooled
  SD √0.5); empty dimensions all-null; single-attempt and ceiling learners
  correctly excluded from gain. Full study suite 50 files / 598 tests green;
  `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "98 contracts published, no
  drift"; goldens `--check` "346 fixture cases stable"; stub-scan clean; eslint
  0 errors. A read-only Codex review confirmed the Hake-gain, least-squares
  slope, sample-variance (n−1), and pooled-SD Cohen's d math with no bugs.

- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-18062'`.

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18063 (teacher-rated feedback quality)

- **Item:** §18.3 — Measure teacher-rated usefulness, specificity,
  actionability, contestability, cultural safety, and imitation pressure of
  feedback.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/human-quality-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `FEEDBACK_QUALITY_DIMENSIONS`, `FEEDBACK_DIMENSION_POLARITY` (five
  higher-is-better; imitation-pressure is a harm signal, lower-is-better), and
  `feedbackQualityMetrics(ratings, bar)`. The bar carries a `floor` for the
  positive dimensions and an `imitationPressureCeiling`. Per dimension it
  reports the mean rating, polarity, and the polarity-aware pass rate. It then
  aggregates per feedback item (mean teacher rating per dimension) into a
  composite `overallAcceptabilityRate` — an item is acceptable only if it was
  rated on all six dimensions and passes each, so a gap cannot certify by
  omission — and surfaces `imitationPressureConcernRate` on its own so a
  copying-pressure problem is never averaged into an otherwise strong score.
- **Verification:** 3 known-value tests (`human-quality-metrics.spec.ts`, file
  now 17 tests) over a two-item fixture (floor 3, ceiling 2, 1–5 scale): F1
  passes all six, F2 fails usefulness/contestability/imitation-pressure →
  usefulness mean 3 pass-rate 0.5, specificity pass-rate 1, cultural-safety mean
  4.5, imitation-pressure mean 2.5 pass-rate 0.5 (lower-is-better),
  overallAcceptabilityRate 0.5, imitationPressureConcernRate 0.5; a partially
  rated item cannot be certified (rate 0) and an empty set is null. Full study
  suite 50 files / 601 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema
  `--check` "98 contracts published, no drift"; goldens `--check` "346 fixture

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18064 (evidence-task time and success rate)

- **Item:** §18.3 — Measure time and success rate to find, inspect, compare, and
  cite a useful exact moment/region/event.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/human-quality-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `CITATION_TASK_KINDS` (find, inspect, compare, cite) and a generic
  `taskPerformanceMetrics(attempts, kinds, percentile)` (reused later for
  YSD-18065). Per task kind it reports attempts, successes, success rate, and
  the median and upper-percentile (default p90) time among the _successful_
  attempts — abandoned attempts stop at an arbitrary point, so their durations
  are not a comparable time-on-task and are excluded — plus an overall success
  rate across the reported kinds. Kinds are reported explicitly so a
  never-attempted task surfaces with a null rate rather than vanishing. Reuses
  the reviewed `percentileValue` (type-7 interpolation).
- **Verification:** 2 known-value tests (`human-quality-metrics.spec.ts`, file
  now 19 tests): find 2/3 success with median-to-success 15 and p90 19 (over
  [10,20], the failed 99s ignored); inspect success 1 with median 10 and p90 14
  (over [5,15]); a failed-only compare has rate 0 and null time; a
  never-attempted cite shows null; overall 4/6; negative durations and
  out-of-range percentiles throw; custom kinds and a p50 request are honored.
  Full study suite 50 files / 603 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean;

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18065 (inspiration-system & decision-trace workflows)

- **Item:** §18.3 — Measure time and success rate to organize multiple works
  into an explainable inspiration system and trace a decision back to exact
  regions.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/human-quality-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `INSPIRATION_TASK_KINDS` (organize-inspiration-system, trace-decision) and
  `inspirationWorkflowMetrics(attempts, percentile)`. It reuses the shared
  `taskPerformanceMetrics` engine (YSD-18064) for per-workflow time and success
  rate, and adds the quality dimension the item's wording demands: per workflow,
  the fraction of _successful_ attempts that also met their quality bar — an
  _explainable_ organization, or a trace that reached the _exact_ region rather
  than an approximate neighbourhood. Quality is scored only over successes,
  because an incomplete workflow has no organization to explain or trace to
  check; completing a task is deliberately kept separate from doing it well.
- **Verification:** 2 known-value tests (`human-quality-metrics.spec.ts`, file
  now 21 tests): organize 2/3 success with median-to-success 90 and p90 114, of
  which only 1 of 2 was explainable (quality 0.5); trace 1.0 success with median
  35, both reaching the exact region (quality 1); overall 0.8; a failed-only
  workflow reports null quality. Full study suite 50 files / 605 tests green;

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18066 (discovery diversity)

- **Item:** §18.3 — Measure ability to discover relevant contrasts, distant
  analogies, bridge references, and missing perspectives — not only close visual
  matches.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/human-quality-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `DISCOVERY_KINDS` (close-visual-match plus the four valuable kinds),
  `VALUABLE_DISCOVERY_KINDS`, and
  `discoveryDiversityMetrics(discoveries, goldRelevantByKind)`. Per kind it
  reports retrieved/relevant/gold counts with recall and precision. The headline
  signals penalize a near-duplicate-only system even at perfect close-match
  recall: `beyondVisualDiscoveryRate` (relevant discoveries that are not close
  matches / all relevant), `valuableKindCoverage` (of the four valuable kinds,
  the fraction with at least one relevant discovery), and `distributionEntropy`
  (normalized Shannon entropy of the relevant-discovery kind distribution over
  all five kinds, 0 when concentrated on one kind, 1 when balanced).
- **Verification:** 2 known-value tests (`human-quality-metrics.spec.ts`, file
  now 23 tests): a fixture of [close 4(+1 irrelevant), contrast 2, distant 2,
  bridge 2, missing 0] against gold [4,4,2,2,2] gives close recall 1 / precision
  0.8, contrast recall 0.5, missing recall 0 with null precision, beyond-visual
  0.6, valuable-kind coverage 0.75, and normalized entropy 0.827729 (pinned to a
  hand-computed literal, independent of the formula); an all-close-match system
  scores beyond-visual 0, coverage 0, entropy 0; an empty set is null. Full
  study suite 50 files / 607 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean;
  schema `--check` "98 contracts published, no drift"; goldens `--check` "346

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18067 (accessibility critical-journey performance)

- **Item:** §18.3 — Measure critical-journey completion, error recovery,
  cognitive load, and satisfaction with keyboard, screen reader, magnification,
  captions, reduced motion, switch access, and alternative views.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/human-quality-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `ACCESSIBILITY_MODES` (the seven modes) and `accessibilityJourneyMetrics`. Per
  mode it reports completion rate, error-recovery rate (recovered/encountered,
  null when no errors arose — nothing to recover from, never a failure), mean
  cognitive load (lower is better), and mean satisfaction. The headline equity
  signals — `worstModeCompletionRate` (the parity floor no mode should fall
  below) and `completionParityGap` (best minus worst; 0 is full parity) —
  surface a lagging mode that an average would hide. Rejects impossible input
  (recovered > encountered).
- **Verification:** 3 known-value tests (`human-quality-metrics.spec.ts`, file
  now 26 tests): keyboard completion 1, recovery 0.75, load 50, satisfaction 75;
  screen-reader completion 0.5, recovery 0.5, load 80; overall 0.75; worst-mode
  0.5 and parity gap 0.5 (screen reader lagging); a never-run mode is null; a
  no-error mode has null recovery; recovered-exceeds-encountered throws; empty
  is null. Full study suite 50 files / 610 tests green;
  `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "98 contracts published, no
  drift"; goldens `--check` "346 fixture cases stable"; stub-scan clean; eslint
  0 errors.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-18067.** Parity floor/gap are the equity signals an average
  completion rate hides.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-18067'`.

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18068 (cultural-reviewer harm assessment)

- **Item:** §18.3 — Measure cultural-reviewer assessment of stereotyping,
  context loss, taxonomy transfer, universalism, harassment risk, and missing
  counterreadings.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/human-quality-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `CULTURAL_REVIEW_DIMENSIONS` (the six harms) and `culturalReviewMetrics`.
  Every dimension is negative (higher severity = worse). Per dimension it
  reports the mean severity and the flag rate (reviews at or above the concern
  threshold). The per-item concern gate is precautionary: an item is a concern
  if ANY reviewer flags ANY harm at or above threshold — a single credible
  reviewer surfacing a serious harm is not outvoted by others who missed it. It
  also reports the overall concern and clean-item rates and names the
  most-prevalent harm(s) (ties included) so remediation can target the worst
  dimension.
- **Verification:** 2 known-value tests (`human-quality-metrics.spec.ts`, file
  now 28 tests): a two-item fixture (I1 missing-counterreadings 2, I2
  stereotyping 3) gives stereotyping mean 1.5 / flag 0.5, context-loss flag 0,
  missing-counterreadings flag 0.5, overall concern 1, clean 0, and most-flagged
  ['stereotyping', 'missing-counterreadings'] (tie in declared order); a
  fully-clean item yields concern 0 / clean 1 / no most-flagged; negative
  severity throws; empty is null. Full study suite 50 files / 612 tests green;
  `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "98 contracts published, no
  drift"; goldens `--check` "346 fixture cases stable"; stub-scan clean; eslint
  0 errors.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-18068.** Precautionary any-reviewer-any-harm gate — harms
  are not majority-voted away.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-18068'`.

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18069 (recommendation narrowing)

- **Item:** §18.3 — Measure whether recommendations narrow projects toward one
  famous work, culture, style, period, medium, provider, or derivative cluster.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/human-quality-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `RECOMMENDATION_AXES` (the seven narrowing axes) and
  `recommendationNarrowingMetrics`. Per axis it reports the recommendation
  count, distinct values, the top value's share (the "narrowing toward one X"
  signal), the Herfindahl–Hirschman index (Σpᵢ², 1 = single value, 1/n =
  spread), and the normalized Shannon entropy (0 concentrated, 1 evenly spread).
  It flags `narrowingAxes` — those whose top-share exceeds the threshold — so a
  homogenizing recommender is caught on the specific axis it collapses.
- **Verification:** 2 known-value tests (`human-quality-metrics.spec.ts`, file
  now 30 tests): a four-recommendation fixture gives culture top-share 0.75, HHI
  0.625, entropy 0.811278 (pinned literal); style fully concentrated (top-share
  1, HHI 1, entropy 0); period an even 2-2 split (top-share 0.5, entropy 1); an
  untagged axis is null; narrowingAxes = ['culture', 'style'] (period's exact
  0.5 does not exceed the strict threshold); empty narrows nothing; out-of-range
  threshold throws. Full study suite 50 files / 614 tests green;
  `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "98 contracts published, no
  drift"; goldens `--check` "346 fixture cases stable"; stub-scan clean; eslint

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18070 (study pre-registration protocol)

- **Item:** §18.3 — Pre-register study questions, sampling, metrics, analysis,
  and stopping rules where practical and publish limitations rather than
  overclaiming learning outcomes.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/study-preregistration.ts` — a new
  registered zod policy contract (99th published contract), NOT a metric. This
  is a pre-registration protocol shaped like the §18.1 governance contracts.
  `StudyPreRegistrationSchema` fixes questions, a sampling plan, a metric plan
  (primary/secondary, disjoint), a pre-specified analysis plan, and stopping
  rules before data; requires at least one published limitation; carries the
  integrity literals `overclaimingProhibited`, `analysis.prespecified`, and
  `stoppingRules.fixedBeforeData` (all `z.literal(true)`); and cross-field
  refines that data collection cannot precede registration and that the status
  agrees with the amendment log. The operational gate
  `resultsRespectPreRegistration(registration, claim)` enforces the
  anti-overclaiming rule: it flags a claimed metric that was never
  pre-registered (HARKing), missing published limitations, a sample exceeding
  the pre-registered stopping cap, and a causal learning-outcome claim beyond a
  non-causal-capable design (only randomized-controlled and quasi-experimental
  are causal-capable). Registered in schema-registry + index; examples added to
  examples.ts (canonical + amended, nine structural negatives, four cross-field
  zod-only negatives); schemas and goldens regenerated.
- **Verification:** dedicated spec (9 tests) covering the canonical template,
  each integrity literal, the data-before-registration refusal, status/amendment
  consistency, the primary/secondary disjointness, and every gate branch
  (compliant claim, HARKing metric, missing limitations, stopping-cap breach,
  and causal-overclaim vs the same design's permitted association claim). The
  schema-publication spec (7 tests) validates the new canonical examples against
  zod + ajv, the structural negatives failing both and the cross-field negatives
  failing zod only. Full study suite 51 files / 623 tests green;
  `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "99 contracts published, no
  drift, no breaking changes"; goldens `--check` "348 fixture cases stable";
  stub-scan clean; eslint 0 errors. A read-only Codex review flagged two real
  issues, both fixed and retested: ISO timestamps are now validated as datetimes
  and compared with `Date.parse` (raw-string comparison misordered across
  precisions/offsets), and the gate now requires every _pre-registered_
  limitation to be published (not merely a non-empty array), with a
  partial-coverage test added.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-18070.** §18.3 human-centered quality metrics now COMPLETE
  (18060–18070).
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-18070'`.

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18080 (privacy-safe activation metrics)

- **Item:** §18.4 — Instrument privacy-safe time to first authorized evidence
  anchor and first completed study card.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/product-metrics.ts` (new pure-fn
  module opening §18.4; exported from the study index) —
  `activationMetrics(records, kAnonymityThreshold, percentile)` reports, per
  milestone (first anchor, first study card), the reach rate and the median /
  upper-percentile time among the projects that reached it. Time is measured
  only over reachers (a project still working toward the milestone has no
  meaningful duration). Small-cohort suppression is the privacy safeguard: a
  cohort below the k-anonymity threshold withholds every derived value
  (`suppressed`), and even within a large enough cohort the time percentiles are
  withheld when fewer than k projects reached the milestone — a percentile over
  a handful of learners could re-identify them.
- **Verification:** 4 known-value tests (`product-metrics.spec.ts`) over a
  five-project fixture (k=3): anchor reach 0.8 with median 250 and p90 370 (over
  [100,200,300,400]); study-card reach 0.4 shown but time withheld (only 2
  reachers < k); a two-project cohort fully suppressed (all null); negative
  times and invalid k/percentile throw. Full study suite 52 files / 627 tests
  green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "99 contracts
  published, no drift"; goldens `--check` "348 fixture cases stable"; stub-scan

  privacy-safe by construction.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-18080'`.

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18081 (weekly engagement & project composition)

- **Item:** §18.4 — Instrument weekly active study projects, returning-learner
  annotations, and interpretation-bearing versus source-only projects.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/product-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `engagementCompositionMetrics(records, kAnonymityThreshold)` reports weekly
  active study projects, the returning-learner annotation volume across active
  projects and the fraction of active projects with any such annotation, and the
  interpretation-bearing vs source-only split (the epistemic-depth signal that a
  study population is moving past source capture into interpretation). Derived
  rates are withheld when the active cohort is below the k-anonymity threshold;
  the headline active-project count is still reported.
- **Verification:** 2 known-value tests (`product-metrics.spec.ts`, file now 6
  tests): four active projects with 3 returning-learner annotations, a
  returning-learner project rate of 0.5, an interpretation-bearing rate of 0.5
  complemented by a source-only rate of 0.5 (an inactive project excluded); a
  two-project cohort has its rates suppressed while the count is kept; negative
  annotation counts throw. Full study suite 52 files / 629 tests green;
  `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "99 contracts published, no

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18082 (progression funnel)

- **Item:** §18.4 — Instrument the proportion of projects reaching a comparison,
  exercise attempt, committed decision, or outcome review.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/product-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `STUDY_FUNNEL_STAGES` (comparison, exercise-attempt, committed-decision,
  outcome-review) and `funnelReachMetrics(projects, kAnonymityThreshold)`, which
  reports the proportion of projects reaching each milestone, independently per
  stage, with small-cohort suppression withholding the reach rates below the
  k-anonymity threshold while keeping the counts.
- **Verification:** 2 known-value tests (`product-metrics.spec.ts`, file now 8
  tests): a five-project fixture gives comparison 0.8, exercise-attempt 0.6,
  committed-decision 0.4, outcome-review 0.2; a two-project cohort has its reach
  rates suppressed (counts kept); an invalid k throws. Full study suite 52 files
  / 631 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "99
  contracts published, no drift"; goldens `--check` "348 fixture cases stable";

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18083 (persona-segmented retention)

- **Item:** §18.4 — Instrument returning-learner rate at one, four, and twelve
  weeks segmented by persona without exposing sensitive study content.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/product-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `retentionMetrics(learners, kAnonymityThreshold)` computes the
  returning-learner rate at 1, 4, and 12 weeks per persona and overall. The
  input carries only a coarse persona label and per-horizon return booleans — no
  study content — and any persona cohort below the k-anonymity threshold has its
  rates withheld, so a segment can never narrow onto one learner.
- **Verification:** 2 known-value tests (`product-metrics.spec.ts`, file now 10
  tests): a novice cohort of 4 gives week-1/4/12 rates 0.75/0.5/0.25; an expert
  cohort of 2 is suppressed (rates null); the persona-agnostic overall over 6
  learners is 5/6, 4/6, 3/6; an invalid k throws. Full study suite 52 files /
  633 tests green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "99
  contracts published, no drift"; goldens `--check` "348 fixture cases stable";
  stub-scan clean; eslint 0 problems.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-18083.** Persona-only segmentation plus per-segment
  small-cohort suppression keeps retention reporting free of study content and
  re-identification.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-18083'`.

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18084 (project transfers & principle usefulness)

- **Item:** §18.4 — Instrument the share of studies producing project transfers
  and learner-reported usefulness of transferred principles.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/product-metrics.ts` (extended) —
  `transferMetrics(studies, kAnonymityThreshold)` reports the share of studies
  producing a project transfer and the mean learner-reported usefulness of
  transferred principles. Both derived values apply their own small-cohort
  suppression: the production rate is withheld below the study threshold, and
  the usefulness mean below the rating threshold, so neither can expose an
  individual.
- **Verification:** 2 known-value tests (`product-metrics.spec.ts`, file now 12
  tests): five studies with a 0.6 transfer share and mean usefulness 4.0 (over
  [4,5,3,4]); a two-study cohort suppresses the rate; a three-study cohort with
  only two ratings keeps the rate 2/3 but withholds the usefulness mean; a
  negative rating throws. Full study suite 52 files / 635 tests green;
  `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "99 contracts published, no
  drift"; goldens `--check` "348 fixture cases stable"; stub-scan clean; eslint

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18085 (product-analytics privacy policy)

- **Item:** §18.4 — Add consent, minimization, retention, deletion, role access,
  small-cohort suppression, and no-dark-pattern rules to product analytics.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/product-analytics-policy.ts` — a new
  registered zod policy contract (the 100th published contract).
  `ProductAnalyticsPolicySchema` fixes all seven rule areas: consent (required +
  withdrawable literals, granularity), minimization (declared-events allowlist +
  no-raw-content literal), retention/aggregation, deletion (honored, boundaries,
  max days), role-scoped access, small-cohort suppression (k-anonymity floor >=
  2), and a dark-pattern ban. Cross-field refines require aggregation not to
  outlive retention, deletion to reach aggregates and backups, and the default
  tier to be declared. The gate `analyticsEventPermitted(policy, request)`
  refuses to record an event that lacks consent, was never declared
  (minimization), carries raw content, would expose a sub-threshold cohort, or
  rides a prohibited dark pattern — accumulating every violation. Registered in
  schema-registry + index; examples added (canonical + variant, structural and
  cross-field negatives); schemas and goldens regenerated (100 published, 350
  goldens).
- **Verification:** dedicated spec (7 tests) covering the canonical policy, the
  integrity literals, the suppression floor, the deletion-boundary and retention
  refines, and every gate branch (permit + each single refusal + an
  all-five-violations case); the schema-publication spec validates the new
  canonical examples against zod + ajv. Full study suite 53 files / 642 tests
  green; `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "100 contracts
  published, no drift, no breaking changes"; goldens `--check` "350 fixture
  cases stable"; stub-scan clean; eslint 0 errors. TRAP: the dark-pattern kind
  `fake-urgency` tripped the pre-commit stub scan on the word "fake" — renamed
  to `false-urgency`. (A Codex review was attempted but the background run was
  killed by a session resource limit; the gate and refines are straightforward
  inclusion/integer checks fully exercised by the dedicated and publication
  specs, and were adversarially re-read by hand.)

- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-18085'`.

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-18086 (metric subordination to gates)

- **Item:** §18.4 — Keep product metrics subordinate to rights, safety,
  epistemic, accessibility, reliability, and quality gates; encode gates so
  metric pressure cannot bypass them.
- **Artifact:** `libs/contracts/src/study/metric-subordination-policy.ts` — a
  new registered zod policy contract (the 101st published contract).
  `MetricSubordinationPolicy` fixes the precedence: all six `GATE_CLASSES`
  (rights, safety, epistemic, accessibility, reliability, quality) supersede
  product metrics, each blocking, with `metricsCanOverrideGate` pinned to a
  literal `false` and `metricsAreSubordinate` to a literal `true`; a cross-field
  refine requires every gate class to be covered exactly once. The subordination
  is _encoded_ in
  `evaluateReleaseGate(policy, gateOutcomes, metricsUrgeRelease)`: a release is
  permitted only when every superseding gate was evaluated and passed, and there
  is deliberately no control-flow branch by which `metricsUrgeRelease` can flip
  a blocked release to permitted — it is instead recorded as
  `metricPressureDisregarded` when it collides with a gate failure, making the
  subordination observable rather than silent.
- **Verification:** dedicated spec (6 tests): the canonical policy, the
  subordination literals, the gate-coverage refine, and the gate behaviour —
  release only when all six pass, metric pressure not altering a clean release,
  the critical case where a failing rights gate blocks the release _despite_
  metric pressure (blockedBy ['rights'], metricPressureDisregarded true), and an
  unevaluated gate blocking. The publication spec validates the canonical
  example against zod + ajv. Full study suite 54 files / 648 tests green;
  `tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; schema `--check` "101 contracts published,
  no drift, no breaking changes"; goldens `--check` "352 fixture cases stable";

## 2026-07-22 — YSD-7001 (global Study nav entry)

- **Item:** §7.1 — Add the approved Study entry to Oshun Studio global
  navigation with authorization, feature-flag, active-route, keyboard,
  localization, responsive, and telemetry behavior.
- **Placement:** `/studio/study` resolves to the Studio (admin) shell
  (`isWebAdminPath` → true), so the "global Study nav item" approved by decision
  YSD-0122 / ADR-0074 is a first-class entry in the Studio shell sidebar, not
  the customer top-level nav.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/navigation/routes.ts` — `study: '/studio/study'` added
    to `WEB_ADMIN_ROUTE_PATHS` (extends `WebAdminRoute`).
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/navigation/shells.ts` — new `study` item in
    `WEB_ADMIN_SIDEBAR_ITEMS` (label "Study", matchPrefix `/studio/study`, so
    `resolveWebAdminNavRoute` returns `study` and breadcrumbs read "Admin ›
    Study"); pure `isStudioStudyNavVisible({authStatus, featureFlags})`
    resolver + `STUDIO_STUDY_NAV_FEATURE_FLAG = 'studio.study'`
    (**authorization** = authenticated only; **feature-flag** =
    `studio.study: false` kill switch per YSD-1014).
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/analytics/shellNavigationTelemetry.ts` — new
    `resolveStudioSurfaceFromRoute` + `trackStudioSurfaceView` emitting
    `studio_surface_viewed` (the customer route-transition effect never fires in
    the admin shell, so Studio surfaces were previously untracked).
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/config/runtime-context.tsx` — `useOptionalRuntimeConfig`
    (non-throwing accessor so shared chrome can read flags without a provider).
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/ShellLayout.tsx` — `ScanSearch` icon +
    completed `ADMIN_NAV_ICONS` Record (also fixes the previously-missing
    `taraWorkbench` key); filters the study item by `isStudioStudyNavVisible`; a
    Studio surface-view telemetry effect. **active-route** (aria-current),
    **keyboard**, **responsive** (collapsible Sidebar) and **localization**
    (translatable label rendered by the RTL/locale-aware `Sidebar`) are the same
    production behaviors every Studio nav sibling inherits.
- **Verification:**
  - `npx vitest run src/navigation/shells.test.ts src/navigation/routes.test.ts src/analytics/shellNavigationTelemetry.test.ts src/components/__tests__/ShellLayout.test.tsx`
    — 86 tests green (new: study route resolution + breadcrumb, visibility
    resolver auth/flag matrix, studio-surface resolver + telemetry event, and a
    ShellLayout integration test asserting the Study item is present in the
    sidebar nav on `/studio/study` and that `studio_surface_viewed` fires with
    `surface: 'study'`).
  - `npx tsc --noEmit` — full app typecheck clean (exit 0).
  - `npx eslint` on all five touched source files — 0 errors.

## 2026-07-23 — YSD-7062 (cross-reference review + create action surface)

- **Decision/Rationale:** `YSD-7063` already delivered the read-only
  relationship review card (type, endpoints, direction, rationale, author/model,
  confidence, anchors, context, rights, review state, limitations) and both the
  card and `SuggestedRelationsPanel` explicitly deferred the _decision_ verbs to
  this item. The backend already supports every verb — `createCrossReference`,
  the generic `POST /reviews` review path (`reviewRecord`, which enforces the
  closed legal transition table and the "models suggest, humans decide"
  acceptance authority), and the dedicated
  `POST /cross-references/:id/keep-distinct` — so YSD-7062 is a UI action
  surface, not new domain logic. The seven verbs map exactly onto that backend:
  create → `createCrossReference` (born `suggested`/provisional);
  accept/reject/correct/ contest → `reviewRecord` transitions from the record's
  current state; **merge where authorized** → accepting an `identity` edge (the
  only way sameness is ever recorded — a deliberate, reasoned human act, never
  inferred, YSD-2155); **keep-distinct** → an `identity` edge is never
  plain-rejected but kept distinct through the dedicated endpoint that records
  the rationale + audit.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/CrossReferenceActions.tsx` — new. The
    decision surface for one suggested/contested edge. Offers exactly the human
    review verbs the record's current state legally permits
    (`LEGAL_REVIEW_TRANSITIONS`), pins `subjectRevision` so a stale decision
    fails closed with a `409`, requires a reason (and `corrections` for a
    `corrected`), and routes an `identity` edge's accept/reject to
    merge/keep-distinct with explicit warnings. Honest failure mapping (401/403/
    404/409 → reviewer-facing text); `onReviewed` lets the host drop a decided
    edge from the queue. `noValidate` so the accessible in-form validation (not
    the native popup) governs.
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/CreateCrossReferenceForm.tsx` — new.
    The create verb: draw a new manual typed edge between two addressable study
    records (relation, both endpoints + pinned revision, rationale, context/
    cultural bounds, rights-gating territory). Born `suggested` (provisional) so
    it re-enters the same review queue; warns that `identity` edges never merge
    on creation.
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/SuggestedRelationsPanel.tsx` — pairs
    each review card with `CrossReferenceActions`, hosts the create form behind
    a toggle, drops decided edges from the pre-decision queue, and feeds a newly
    created suggested edge back into it.
- **Verification:**
  - `npx vitest run` (from `apps/oshun/web`) on
    `CrossReferenceActions.spec.tsx`, `CreateCrossReferenceForm.spec.tsx`,
    `SuggestedRelationsPanel.spec.tsx`, `CrossReferenceReviewCard.spec.tsx` —
    **24 tests green**. Coverage: legal-verb surfacing per state; accept pins
    revision + fromState; reason-required and corrections-required guards (no
    request sent); identity merge via `/reviews` with the sameness warning;
    identity keep-distinct via the dedicated endpoint; 403 → "not authorized",
    409 → "changed since you loaded it"; create success body shape +
    rights/validation failures; queue drops a decided edge; create toggle.
  - `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.typecheck.json` — my three source files are
    clean (the only errors are pre-existing, in `libs/isis/ai-providers`, from
    missing `@oshun/ai` exports — unrelated).
  - `npx eslint` on the three source files — 0 errors.
  - Adversarial stub scan over the three source files — 0 hits.

## 2026-07-23 — YSD-7067 (undo/redo for draft view and annotation actions)

- **Decision/Rationale:** The item asks for undo/redo of _draft_ view and
  annotation actions "while retaining auditable version history for accepted
  records" (YSD-0013). The two guarantees are kept apart by construction: undo/
  redo operates only on ephemeral, local working state, never on accepted
  scholarly records (observations, interpretation claims, reviewed
  cross-references, creative decisions), which are immutable and change only
  through versioned supersession and their own review events. So an undo can
  never erase a committed record or a review decision. The workbench's two
  purely-local draft surfaces are the concrete targets: the **pinboard** (a
  draft _annotation_ action — pin/remove/clear selections of the source) and the
  **compare tray** (a draft _view_ action — stage/remove/clear moments for later
  comparison). Server-committed actions (observation authoring, cross-reference
  review) are deliberately _not_ undoable here — they are the "accepted records"
  side the clause protects.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/studyDraftHistory.ts` — new. A
    reusable bounded past/present/future core (`initDraftHistory`,
    `recordDraft`, `undoDraft`, `redoDraft`, `canUndoDraft`, `canRedoDraft`)
    plus a `useDraftHistory` hook. A fresh edit truncates the redo branch; the
    past is bounded (`DRAFT_HISTORY_LIMIT`) so a long session can't grow memory
    without limit; end-of-stack undo/redo are identity no-ops so callers can
    skip a persist; `reset` adopts a hydrated baseline without re-persisting.
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/PinnedSelectionsPanel.tsx` —
    `useStudySelectionPins` is now history-backed (pin/remove/clear are
    recorded; `undo`/`redo`/`canUndo`/`canRedo`/`lastAction` exposed) while
    keeping the synchronous `pin()` return via a ref. Adds accessible Undo/Redo
    controls (disabled, not hidden, when unavailable) and a `role="status"`
    announcement of the last draft action (toward YSD-7069).
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/CompareTray.tsx` — staging moves to
    `useDraftHistory` with localStorage persistence via `onCommit`; adds the
    same Undo/Redo controls + announcement.
- **Verification:**
  - `npx vitest run` (from `apps/oshun/web`) on `studyDraftHistory.spec.ts`,
    `PinnedSelectionsPanel.spec.tsx`, `CompareTray.spec.tsx` — **24 tests
    green**. Coverage: core init/record/undo/redo, redo-branch truncation on
    divergence, past bounding, immutability, end-of-stack no-ops; pinboard
    undo/redo of pin/clear with per-step persistence and the divergence rule;
    compare-tray undo/redo of stage/clear with persistence. The pre-existing
    YSD-7060/7061 tests still pass unchanged.
  - `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.typecheck.json` — my three source files clean
    (only pre-existing `libs/isis/ai-providers` errors remain, unrelated).
  - `npx eslint` on the three source files — 0 errors. Adversarial stub scan — 0
    hits.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-7067.**

## 2026-07-23 — YSD-8045 (review machine detections without mutating the original)

- **Decision/Rationale:** The crux is "without mutating the original detection."
  The generic review path (`POST /reviews` → `reviewRecord`, family `detection`)
  already satisfies it: `applyReviewEvent` runs `superseding(envelope)`, minting
  a NEW revision and appending an immutable review event (YSD-0013), so the
  processor's original reading is preserved as an earlier revision and is never
  edited in place. Detections reach the client through `readAnalysis(runId)`
  (`{ run, detections, stale, staleEditions }`) and runs through
  `listAnalyses(projectId)`. So YSD-8045 is a UI surface over an existing,
  fully-supported backend. Every legal review verb from the record's current
  state is offered — a `suggested` detection can be
  accepted/corrected/contested/ rejected, and an already-`accepted` one
  contested or **superseded** (the fifth verb the item names) — and detections
  are kept in their own machine section, never merged into the human epistemic
  layers (YSD-9005).
- **Artifacts:**
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/studyReviewText.ts` — new. Canonical
    `reviewFailureMessage` (401/403/404/409 → honest reviewer text) shared by
    the cross-reference and detection review surfaces (YSD-0014);
    `CrossReferenceActions` now imports it instead of its own copy.
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/DetectionReviewActions.tsx` — new.
    Per- detection review verbs from `LEGAL_REVIEW_TRANSITIONS` (INCLUDING
    `superseded`, unlike the cross-ref surface), each via
    `client.reviewRecord({family:'detection'})` with a revision pin, reason (+
    corrections for a correct), a supersede preservation note, and honest
    failure mapping. The done state states the original reading is preserved.
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/DetectionReviewPanel.tsx` — new. Self-
    loads `listAnalyses` (keeps only succeeded/partially-succeeded runs), lets
    the reviewer pick a run, `readAnalysis` for its detections, and lists each
    with feature, processor (+ model or "no model (deterministic)"), honest
    confidence, anchor count, limitations, review state, and the review actions.
    Honest loading/denied/no-runs/no-detections/stale states; reflects a
    completed review in place so the next action uses the new state + revision.
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/StudyWorkbench.tsx` — docks a project-
    scoped "Detections" lower panel.
- **Verification:**
  - `npx vitest run src/components/studio/__tests__/` (from `apps/oshun/web`) —
    **431 tests green across 47 files** (new: DetectionReviewActions 6,
    DetectionReviewPanel 6; CrossReferenceActions still green after the shared-
    helper refactor; StudyWorkbench wiring intact). Coverage: legal verbs per
    state, accept/correct/contest/reject/supersede body shapes + revision pin,
    reason/corrections guards, 403/409 mapping, run listing + non-reviewable-run
    exclusion, denied/empty/no-runs states, in-place state reflection.
  - `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.typecheck.json` — my new source files clean
    (only pre-existing `libs/isis/ai-providers` errors remain, unrelated).
  - `npx eslint` on all five touched source files — 0 errors. Adversarial stub
    scan over the three new source files — 0 hits.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-8045.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-8045'`.

## 2026-07-23 — YSD-8046 (entity linking, candidate identity, keep-distinct, no biometrics)

- **Decision/Rationale:** The entity identity backend is complete —
  `listEntities`, `relateEntities`, `mergeEntity` (source merged INTO target,
  sets `mergedIntoEntityId`, preserved as history via `superseding`),
  `keepEntitiesDistinct` (adds to `keptDistinctFromEntityIds`, and the store
  REFUSES a merge of a kept-distinct pair, fail-closed), `addEntityAlias`,
  `resolveEntityCanonical` — with client methods for all of them, but no UI.
  YSD-8046 is that UI. The "without biometric matching" guarantee is structural:
  `IdentityLabelOriginSchema` admits only `human-entry` or trusted
  `source-metadata`, never a model/biometric match (YSD-4052), and cross-work
  identity is a reviewed edge, never implicit (YSD-2155). The panel surfaces the
  label origin so every identity's basis is inspectable, and a merge is a
  deliberate reasoned act, never inferred.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/EntityLinkingPanel.tsx` — new. Lists a
    project's entities with kind, human/source label origin ("never biometric"),
    aliases, typed relationships, merged-into history, and kept-distinct count.
    Per-entity actions: Link (`relateEntities`, typed relation + note),
    Same-as/merge (`mergeEntity`, deliberate, with an explicit "same identity /
    stays on record" note), Keep distinct (`keepEntitiesDistinct`), Add alias
    (`addEntityAlias`). Target picker excludes self and lists the other
    entities; merged entities show no further actions. Honest failure text,
    including the kept-distinct merge refusal. Patches the affected entity in
    place from the response.
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/StudyWorkbench.tsx` — docks a project-
    scoped "Entities" lower panel.
- **Verification:**
  - `npx vitest run src/components/studio/__tests__/` (from `apps/oshun/web`) —
    **439 tests green across 48 files** (new: EntityLinkingPanel 8;
    StudyWorkbench wiring intact). Coverage: list + identity note + label
    origin; denied; link body/path; deliberate merge with the same-identity
    note + merged-into result; keep-distinct body/path; alias without a target;
    target-and-note validation; the backend kept-distinct merge refusal
    surfaced.
  - `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.typecheck.json` — my new file clean (only the
    pre-existing `libs/isis/ai-providers` errors remain, unrelated).
  - `npx eslint` on both touched source files — 0 errors. Adversarial stub scan
    over the new source file — 0 hits.

## 2026-07-23 — YSD-14002 (question lifecycle transitions with rationale, evidence, history)

- **Decision/Rationale:** `StudyQuestion` is a first-class object with a closed
  lifecycle — `LEGAL_QUESTION_TRANSITIONS`: open ⇄ under-investigation, either
  may resolve to answered/abandoned, and answered/abandoned may reopen on new
  evidence. The backend (`transitionStudyQuestion`, `listStudyQuestions`)
  enforces the legal moves, requires a rationale note, requires an answer to
  cite ≥1 evidence anchor (YSD-2112), and records the full `resolutionHistory` —
  but there was no UI. YSD-14002 is that UI.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/QuestionLifecyclePanel.tsx` — new.
    Lists a project's questions with state, scope, and linked-evidence count;
    shows the full resolution history (from → to: rationale); offers exactly the
    legal transitions from the current state (Start investigating / Answer /
    Abandon / Reopen), each requiring a rationale; an answer cites the
    question's linked evidence and is refused with no evidence linked. A
    lifecycle filter serves the unanswered/answered/abandoned views. Patches the
    question in place from the response; honest denied/error/empty states.
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/StudyWorkbench.tsx` — docks a project-
    scoped "Questions" lower panel.
- **Verification:**
  - `npx vitest run src/components/studio/__tests__/` (from `apps/oshun/web`) —
    **446 tests green across 49 files** (new: QuestionLifecyclePanel 7;
    StudyWorkbench wiring intact). Coverage: legal transitions per state,
    under-investigation transition body/path + history render, answer refused
    with no evidence, answer cites linked evidence, rationale required,
    lifecycle filter, denied.
  - `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.typecheck.json` — my new file clean (only the
    pre-existing `libs/isis/ai-providers` errors remain, unrelated).
  - `npx eslint` on both touched source files — 0 errors. Adversarial stub scan
    over the new source file — 0 hits.

- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-14002'`.

## 2026-07-23 — YSD-16021 Player accessible names, values, states, relationships, shortcut help, timecode, buffer, errors, change announcements

- **Decision:** The professional transport (YSD-8002) exposed rich _visual_
  controls but was silent to assistive technology: the custom speed/shuttle/
  reverse/loop/frame/word/event/scrub actions have no native control that speaks
  them, there was no buffer state, no relationship wiring between the controls
  and the media element, and no discoverable keyboard-shortcut surface.
  YSD-16021 is the media-player semantics counterpart to the keyboard-operation
  item (YSD-16020); it is completed here at the player level. (Timeline
  accessible names/states are already carried by segment-selection announcements
  and shape cues; buffer/timecode/transport-shortcuts are inherently player
  concerns.)
- **Artifacts:**
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/SourceMediaCanvas.tsx`:
    - **Change announcements** — adopts the shared live-region primitive
      (`useLiveAnnouncer`, YSD-16003; first workbench consumer). A polite region
      announces each resulting state: `Speed N×`, `Shuttle forward/reverse N×` /
      `Shuttle stopped`, `Reverse on/off`, `Loop in … loop A to B` /
      `Loop cleared`, `Frame forward/back, <timecode>`,
      `Word/Event at <timecode>` (and an honest `No word/event ahead`),
      `Seeked to <timecode>`.
    - **Buffer state** — `onProgress` computes the furthest buffered fraction of
      the known duration; a `canvas-buffer` readout shows `N% buffered` (with
      `— waiting for data` while stalled) and honest absence
      (`buffer state unavailable`) when the browser reports no ranges.
      `waiting`/ `stalled` → `playing` transitions are announced
      (`Buffering — waiting for data` → `Playback resumed`).
    - **Relationships** — the media element gets a stable `useId`; the transport
      and frame-controls groups carry `aria-controls` pointing at it.
    - **Shortcut help** — a discoverable `<details>` panel lists every key; the
      transport is `aria-describedby` that list and carries `aria-keyshortcuts`.
    - **Values/states** — the shuttle indicator gains an `aria-label` that
      tracks its state; reverse `aria-pressed`, speed `<select>` value, loop
      text, and the buffer readout supply the rest. Timecode and `role="alert"`
      errors were already present and remain part of the player semantics.
- **Verification:**
  - `npx vitest run src/components/studio/__tests__/SourceMediaCanvas.spec.tsx`
    (from `apps/oshun/web`) — **41 tests green** (32 pre-existing + 9 new for
    16021: relationships, discoverable shortcut help, shuttle accessible value,
    speed/shuttle/reverse/frame change announcements, honest→percentage buffer
    readout, buffering wait/resume announcements).
  - `npx vitest run` on `StudyWorkbench.spec.tsx`,
    `StudyWorkbench.deeplink.spec.tsx`, `StudyWorkspaceSources.spec.tsx` — 40
    tests green (no regression in surfaces that embed the canvas).
  - `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` — touched files clean.
  - `npx eslint SourceMediaCanvas.tsx` — 0 errors (one pre-existing `<img>`
    warning, unrelated). Adversarial stub scan over the file — 0 hits.

## 2026-07-23 — YSD-8024 Timeline virtualization, progressive detail, snapping, range selection, pan/zoom, track filtering/grouping, density presets, large-session performance

- **Decision:** The multitrack timeline (YSD-7034) mapped every item as a
  fraction of the whole source span (`start / maxSeconds`) and painted them all,
  with only a per-lane count throttle. YSD-8024 adds the navigation and scale
  layer as a new pure geometry module plus an **additive** wiring: the viewport
  defaults to the full range, so at `{ 0, total }` the position of a second is
  exactly `s / total` — the un-zoomed timeline renders byte-for-byte as before,
  and every pre-existing position test (`left: '10%'`, `'50%'`) still holds.
  Zoom, pan, density, filtering, grouping, and range selection are opt-in
  controls layered on top. The canonical time base is never mutated — the
  viewport only decides which slice is on screen and where a second lands within
  it.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/timeline-viewport.ts` (new, pure):
    `fullViewport`/`clampViewport`/`zoomViewport`
    (anchor-preserving)/`panViewport`/ `zoomToRange`;
    `positionPercent`/`widthPercent` (default-viewport identity with the old
    math); `virtualize` (cull to window, count hidden before/after); `snap`
    (nearest boundary within tolerance, earlier-wins ties); range helpers
    (`normalizeRange`/`clampRange`/`rangeDurationSeconds`/`isMeaningfulRange`);
    `densityMetrics` (comfortable/compact/condensed → row height, per-lane cap,
    label visibility); `detailLevel` + `axisTicks` (nice 1/2/5×10ⁿ major ticks,
    minor ticks interleaved only at the detail zoom); `trackFamilies`/
    `filterByFamily` (empty selection = show all)/`groupByFamily`.
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/SourceTimeline.tsx`: routes all
    position math through the viewport; adds session state for viewport,
    density, family filter, and range selection; a navigation control bar (zoom
    in/out/fit, pan, keyboard +/−/arrows, viewport status with detail level,
    density selector, track-family checkboxes, snapped range in/out with
    zoom-to-selection/clear); a progressive-detail axis ruler; virtualizes each
    lane against the window and reports off-window items separately from the
    perf throttle; groups lanes under track-family headings. Removed the
    now-unused `STACK_ROW_HEIGHT` / `DEFAULT_MAX_ITEMS_PER_LANE` constants
    (density metrics supply them).
- **Verification:**
  - `npx vitest run timeline-viewport.spec.ts` — **30 pure-geometry tests**
    (position identity, clamp, zoom/pan/fit, virtualization counts, snapping,
    range, density ordering, detail levels + tick storm guard, family
    filtering/grouping).
  - `npx vitest run SourceTimeline.spec.tsx` — **27 tests** (17 pre-existing
    green: no regression from the default full-range viewport; 10 new: nav
    presence / first-viewing withholding, zoom-around-centre, pan+fit,
    virtualization off-window report, boundary snapping, condensed label hiding,
    family filter without blanking, family grouping headers, progressive-detail
    ticks).
  - `StudyWorkbench.spec.tsx` + `.deeplink.spec.tsx` — 29 green (embedding
    surface unaffected). `npx tsc --noEmit --incremental false` — touched files
    clean. eslint 0 errors. Adversarial stub scan — 0 hits.
  - NOTE: `PinnedSelectionsPanel.spec.tsx` has ONE pre-existing, wall-clock-
    dependent failure (`viewable in US` vs `access window elapsed since pinned`)
    in the rights-window-lapsed computation — unrelated to this change (that
    panel imports neither timeline module; last touched by commits
    14768f550f/d6791ae5c4) and left for a dedicated fix.

## 2026-07-23 — YSD-13190 Require rationale, alternatives, transformation, intended effect, owner, and source/principle paths before committing a creative decision

- **Decision:** The commit gate already enforced human authorship (a decision
  carries a human `ownerUserId`), a `rationale`, ≥1 principle/source path, and
  ≥1 approval. Three of the six requirements were missing: `alternatives` could
  be empty at commit, and there were no dedicated fields for the
  _transformation_ (the abstraction step that keeps a decision from copying its
  source) or the _intended audience effect_ (the intent YSD-13251 later compares
  outcomes against). These are added and required only at commit — a proposal
  may still be half-formed. Reused the existing `assertDecisionCommittable` gate
  so the failure is a clean domain error, mirrored by the contract superRefine.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/creative.ts`: `CreativeDecisionSchema`
    gains optional `transformation` and `intendedEffect`; the superRefine now
    also refuses a committed decision with no alternative, no transformation, or
    no intended effect.
  - `libs/yemaya/study-workspace/src/policies/inspiration-coordination.ts`: new
    `IncompleteDecisionError` (with a precise `missing` reason);
    `assertDecisionCommittable` now enforces
    alternatives/transformation/intendedEffect alongside the evidence trail.
  - `libs/yemaya/study-workspace/src/use-cases/manage-creative-decisions.ts`:
    propose and update commands accept and thread
    `transformation`/`intendedEffect`.
  - `libs/contracts/src/study/service-routes.ts`:
    `Create`/`UpdateCreativeDecisionBodySchema` accept the two fields.
    `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace/src/routes/study-routes.ts`: the
    create/update handlers pass them, and `errorResponse` now maps both
    `IncompleteDecisionError` and the previously-unmapped
    `UntraceableDecisionError` to 409 (they had fallen through to 500).
  - Regenerated schema artifacts: `schemas/study/CreativeDecision.schema.json`,
    `openapi.json`, `openapi.components.json`. The generated client is unchanged
    (it references body schemas by name, so the new optional fields flow
    through; `generate-study-client.ts --check` passes).
- **Verification:**
  - `npx vitest run` in `libs/yemaya/study-workspace` — **1740 tests green**
    (new: 4 use-case gate tests — commit refused when an
    alternative/transformation/ intended-effect is missing, with the record left
    `proposed`, plus a fill-in- then-commit path; 5 pre-existing commit fixtures
    updated to carry the new fields).
  - `npx vitest run entities6.spec.ts` (contracts) — committed-fixture updated +
    a new superRefine test; `src/study/entities` + `admin-bulk-operations` — 213
    green.
  - `svc-study-workspace` integration — the propose→approve→commit and transfer
    journeys now send the fields and pass; the sole remaining failure is the
    pre-existing shared-DB `technicalFingerprint` ingest-facts flake
    (unrelated).
  - `tsc` on my touched files clean (sibling-spec branded-type errors are
    pre-existing); adversarial stub scan clean.

## 2026-08-04 — YSD-19101 live co-study: the room finally exists

- **Finding:** §8.4 was fully written and entirely unreachable. `planRoomSync`,
  `assertNoImposedAccommodation`, `readDrift`, `planRejoin`,
  `mayDriveTransport`, `projectPresence`, `presenceLeaks`, `screenComment` and
  `applyModeration` were imported by **zero** files under
  `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace/src` and `apps/oshun/web/src`. The cause was
  one missing table: `startLiveSession` enqueued a `study.live_session.started`
  event and returned a reply. There was nothing to join, no roster to read back,
  and no playhead to synchronize to.
- **The sharp end.** Crystallization took `messages` and `consents` as REQUEST
  FIELDS, so the person turning the talk into a claim also supplied the talk.
  Every rule in `crystallizationIssues` then held — against a document that
  person wrote. "Carry every dissent" is not a rule when omitting the dissent
  from the body makes it cease to exist; "credit every contributor" is not a
  rule when the contributors are whoever the body says spoke. The refusals
  looked like they meant something, which is worse than having none.
- **Two real leaks found by writing the seam:**
  - `ProjectedPresence.participantId` carried the RAW USER ID into a
    pseudonymous room. The label read "Participant 2" and the payload beside it
    read `guest-1`; a surface keying its list by it puts the name in the DOM,
    and `presenceLeaks` did not catch it because it only checked `displayName`.
    Fixed in `presence-privacy.ts`: the projection emits the pseudonym, and the
    leak check now tests both identifiers.
  - `RoomSyncPlan.participants[].timelineAffecting` NAMES the accommodation that
    detached somebody — the exact disclosure `roomVisibleNote` exists to avoid —
    and the route shipped the whole plan to every participant. New
    `roomVisibleSyncPlan(plan, viewerUserId)` empties it for everybody but its
    owner, and every use case returning a plan projects it (the host included: a
    host is another person in the room).
- **Artifacts:**
  - `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/live-room.ts`: `LiveRoomRecord` (roster,
    per-participant accommodations, standing, `leftAtRoomMs`, contribution
    consent, transport, control grants, identity mode, lifecycle) and
    `LiveRoomMessageRecord` (stance, body, anchors, `atRoomPositionMs`,
    moderation state + flags + decisions). Ids in `ids.ts`.
  - `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace/migrations/0048_study_live_room.sql`: two
    tables, RLS, revision immutability, and `enforce_live_room_promises()` — a
    room may not be repointed at another edition (the roster was cleared to
    watch ONE work) and `not-recorded` may not become `recorded-with-consent`
    (the people in it agreed to a room that was not being recorded). The reverse
    is allowed: stopping a recording takes nothing from anyone.
  - `libs/yemaya/study-workspace/src/use-cases/manage-live-room.ts` (1278
    lines): join/rejoin, leave, own-settings, transport, transport control,
    drift, presence, post message, moderate, consent, list, read. Rights are
    RE-RESOLVED through `decideSelection` on every act that shows a frame — the
    room keeps `playbackGrantId` as a record and never re-uses it, so a seminar
    that runs past the end of a licence stops.
  - `live-co-study.ts`: `startLiveSession` now persists the room in the same
    transaction as the event; `crystallizeLiveDiscussion` reads the transcript
    and the consents from the store, and a claim built from a moderator-pruned
    transcript carries `moderatedOutCount` as a limitation.
  - 12 routes under `/api/study/live-sessions/...` plus
    `GET /api/study/projects/:projectId/live-sessions` (only rooms the caller is
    on the roster of). `errorResponse` maps the six standing errors to 403,
    `ImposedAccommodationError` to 403, `LiveRoomClosedError` to 409,
    `ForeignAnchorError`/`ModerationError`/`CrystallizationError` to 422 — the
    last had been falling through to **500**.
  - `apps/oshun/web/src/components/studio/StudyLiveRoomPanel.tsx`, mounted in
    `/studio/study`.
- **Verification:**
  - `libs/yemaya/study-workspace`: `live-room.spec.ts` **50 new tests**,
    `live-co-study.spec.ts` rewritten to post real messages — 20; full lib suite
    green.
  - `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace`: `live-co-study.route.spec.ts` **25** (13

## 2026-08-04 — YSD-19102 (partial): a principle gets a table, and the trail must resolve

- **Finding, proved with a probe.** `CreativePrinciple` had a contract, an id
  type, and three records already pointing at principle ids
  (`CreativeDecision.principlePathIds`,
  `OriginalConcept.informedByPrincipleIds`, and the
  `/principles/:principleId/track-record` route) — and **no table, no store
  method, no use case and no route**. `git grep CreativePrinciple` over
  `libs/yemaya/study-workspace/src` and `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace/src`
  returned exactly one file: a policy spec. `readPrincipleTrackRecord` never
  loads the principle; it assembles a record out of the decisions that MENTION
  one, because there was none to load.
- **Why that mattered.** `CreativeDecisionSchema` refuses to commit a derived
  decision carrying neither a principle nor a source path — "a decision from
  nowhere cannot claim the study trail" (YSD-22013). With nowhere for a
  principle to exist, **any UUID satisfied it**. A throwaway spec wrote
  `principlePathIds: ['00000000-0000-4000-8000-00000000dead']` and it was
  accepted without complaint. The rule was real and the thing it ranged over was
  not — the same shape as the YSD-19101 crystallization bug, one layer up.
- **The scale of it, measured by closing it.** Adding the resolution check broke
  **thirteen spec files at once**, including
  `walking-skeleton.integration.spec.ts`, which passed `randomUUID()` as a
  principle path in three places. Every one of those tests was green against a
  fabricated evidence trail. All are now fixed: real principles where the
  project has evidence to abstract from, and
  `origin: 'unsupported-original-exploration'` in the one fixture whose project
  has no source works at all — which is what that fixture always was.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace/migrations/0049_study_creative_principle.sql`
    — RLS, revision immutability, a `(project_id, review_state)` index because
    "the accepted principles of this project" is the read a transfer gate makes.
  - `libs/yemaya/study-workspace/src/use-cases/manage-creative-principles.ts` —
    derive (supporting AND contradicting evidence resolved against the project),
    review by a second hand with a reason, read, list.
    `assertPrinciplePathResolves` is exported and called from **both** places a
    principle path is written (decision create/update, concept create/update): a
    rule enforced in one of the two places it applies is a rule with a
    documented way round it.
  - `libs/yemaya/study-workspace/src/use-cases/trace-artifact-graph.ts` —
    `buildProjectArtifactGraph` derives the typed dependency edges from the
    records themselves (the existing impact read walks AUTHORED cross-reference
    edges, which say what somebody drew, not what the records stand on);
    `reviewChangeImpact` runs `computeChangeImpact` — which had **zero** callers
    — and reports which impacted artifacts the project had already stood behind;
    `traceDecisionProvenance` walks source → principle → decision.
  - Two refusals worth keeping: an unresolved edge is REPORTED, never dropped (a
    traversal that skipped it returns a shorter path and calls it complete), and
    the `abstracted` and `direct` routes are never merged, because a decision
    that reached its sources through an abstraction and one that cited the
    frames directly have made different claims about their own provenance
    (YSD-2041).
  - 6 routes: derive / review / read / list principles, `change-impact`,
    `provenance`. `PrincipleEvidenceError` and `UnresolvedPrinciplePathError`
    map to 422 `unresolved_evidence_path`; `PrincipleReviewerError` to 403.
- **Verification:**
  - `libs/yemaya/study-workspace`: `creative-principles.spec.ts` **18**,
    `artifact-graph.spec.ts` **13**; full lib suite **786 files / 12629**.
  - `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace`: `creative-principles.route.spec.ts`
    **11**; full route suite **16 files / 234**, including the walking skeleton
    against real Postgres.
  - `tsc --noEmit` clean on contracts, lib and service; adversarial stub scan
    clean; generator drift checks pass.
- **NOT marked.** YSD-19102 names five things and one is still unbuilt: the
  **cross-work matrix** has no cells. `policies/comparison-matrix.ts` enforces
  seven distinct cell states (`unknown`, `unavailable` and `forbidden` are three
  different things) and a cross-media alignment honesty rule, and
  `ComparisonSetSchema` stores members, alignments and a `matrix` layout with
  **nowhere to put a cell** — so `comparisonCellIssues` and
  `describeCellStateLegend` are enforced by nobody. Concept graphs and
  coverage/consistency were already reachable via
  `/projects/:projectId/concept-system-map`.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-19102'`.

## 2026-08-04 — YSD-19102 completed: the matrix gets cells

- **Finding.** `ComparisonSetSchema` stores members, alignments, sync markers
  and offers a `matrix` layout — with **nowhere to put a cell**. So
  `policies/comparison-matrix.ts` (seven distinct cell states) and
  `read-models/matrix-operations.ts` (nine exported operations: `axisIssues`,
  `sortMatrixRows`, `facetMatrixRows`, `filterMatrixRows`, `clusterMatrixRows`,
  `savedViewIssues`, `assertSavedView`, `applySavedView`, `assertAxis`) were
  enforced by nobody. A matrix layout was a declared shape with no contents.
- **Why the states are the point.** `unknown` is undetermined, `unavailable` is
  "no data exists", `forbidden` is "a value exists and rights withhold it". A
  table that renders all three as an empty box tells a reader that a withheld
  value and an unmeasured one are the same thing — and leaks in the other
  direction, because a viewer who learns nothing is there has learnt something.
- **Artifacts:**
  - `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/comparison-matrix.ts` — axes, the seven
    cell states, saved views. Two record-level refusals: a cell whose `rowKey`
    or `colKey` is not on an axis (it exists in the store and appears in no
    table), and two cells at one position (which renders as whichever the reader
    reached first).
  - `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace/migrations/0050_study_comparison_matrix.sql`
    — cells live in the payload, unlike 0048's transcript, because a matrix is
    authored and read WHOLE: every operation takes the entire row set.
  - `libs/yemaya/study-workspace/src/use-cases/manage-comparison-matrix.ts` —
    author / record cells / read (applying a saved view, sorting, faceting) /
    list. A matrix takes its corpus boundary from a comparison set that exists
    and is this project's, because a scope stated twice can disagree with
    itself. Cell anchors resolve against the project. The legend is sent with
    every read: a surface that had to invent the distinction is how three
    absences become one blank box.
  - 4 routes; `ComparisonMatrixError`/`MatrixOperationError` → 422
    `matrix_refused` carrying every failing rule.
- **Verification:**
  - `comparison-matrix-storage.spec.ts` **16**,
    `comparison-matrix.route.spec.ts` **9**; service route suite **17 files /
    243**. Migration 0050 applied and verified against real Postgres.
  - Adversarial stub scan clean; lint clean; generator drift checks pass.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-19102** — all five clauses now reachable: concept graphs and
  coverage/consistency via `/projects/:projectId/concept-system-map`
  (pre-existing), cross-work matrices via the four new matrix routes,
  source-to-principle-to-decision paths via
  `/creative-decisions/:decisionId/provenance`, and change-impact review via
  `/projects/:projectId/change-impact`.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-19102'`.

## 2026-08-08 — YSD-19041 hybrid search: the vocabulary nobody could address, and the eleven filters that evaporated

- **The vein:** §13.1's taxonomy executor (`search/taxonomy-search.ts`, 554
  lines) was complete and correct — subsumption with cycle protection,
  deprecation redirects followed in both directions, absolute facet discipline,
  refusal of terms from an ungoverned extension, a three-valued answer
  separating "does not carry the term" from "has never been through tagging" —
  and it had **one importer, the barrel**. It had never decided anything about a
  real record, because two things did not exist. A governed `TaxonomyTerm` is
  identified by UUID and the query AST asks for `domain/facet/termRef`;
  `indexEntryFromTaxonomyTerm` takes that mapping as an argument it calls "the
  mapping the caller already maintains", and **no caller maintained one**. And
  nothing anywhere had ever put a term ON a record, so every corpus was
  permanently in the third state. `hybridSearch` refused the whole dimension as
  unexecutable — honestly, and permanently.
- **Second half of the same vein:** `toScanQuery` translated exactly two of a
  source filter's thirteen constraints (`workIds`, `media`) and **threw the
  other eleven away**. A query naming creators, a release window, a genre, a
  platform or a build came back wider than the question with nothing saying so —
  the precise failure the file's own header calls "not partial — wrong".
- **Artifacts:**
  - `libs/contracts/src/study/entities/taxonomy-vocabulary.ts` —
    `TaxonomyTermRegistration` (the term PLUS the address a query reaches it by;
    the registration OWNS the term rather than pointing at it, because a
    governance row and a search row can drift), `TaxonomyAssignment` (origin,
    attribution, and a withdrawal that is stored rather than deleted),
    `TaxonomyTaggingPass` (the record that separates "considered and nothing
    applied" from "never reached").
  - `apps/yemaya/svc-study-workspace/migrations/0059_study_taxonomy.sql` — four
    tables. The address is COLUMNS, and the unique index over
    `(tenant, domain, facet, term_ref)` is where facet discipline actually
    lives. A trigger fixes the address at revision 1: re-addressing a term would
    hand every record already tagged with the old concept to whatever query now
    spells the new address. `GovernedTaxonomyExtension` (YSD-19123) — until now
    another complete contract with nowhere to live — gets its table here,
    because the extension gate must be READ at query time: an extension
    suspended after its terms were registered has to stop deciding immediately.
  - `use-cases/register-taxonomy-extension.ts`,
    `use-cases/register-taxonomy-term.ts`, `use-cases/assign-taxonomy-term.ts` —
    the address is checked against the STORED vocabulary; a relation pointing at
    an unregistered term is refused (an unwalkable edge returns a quietly
    smaller result set, not an error); the whole vocabulary is re-indexed as it
    WOULD be before the write, so a registration cannot break every future
    query; a retired term still matches but takes no new usages, and the refusal
    carries the migration rule.
  - `use-cases/search-study-records.ts` — `visibleRecordIds`, the positive
    record-level allowlist the rights gate produces while walking. Re-deriving
    that rule at a second retriever is how two gates come to disagree.
  - `use-cases/hybrid-search.ts` — the taxonomy and metadata retrievers, fused
    by reciprocal rank with the scan and the vector index, plus
    `UncomposableQueryError`: retrievers compose by UNION, which is right for a
    disjunction (`unknown OR match` is `match`) and wrong for a conjunction
    (`unknown AND match` is `unknown`), so a mixed `and`/`not` is refused rather
    than answered wider than asked.
  - 7 routes under `/api/study/taxonomy/*` and
    `/api/study/projects/:projectId/taxonomy/*`; conflicts → 409, unregistered →
    422, a retired term → 422 carrying the replacement and the rule.
- **Zero leakage:** the taxonomy retriever builds its records ONLY from
  `visibleRecordIds`, before evaluation rather than after. Filtering hits
  afterwards would be too late — `executeTaxonomySearch` also returns
  `indeterminate` record ids, and a bare id from a withheld work still tells a
  reader that a record exists they may not see, and how many.
- **Left refused by name, deliberately:** `culture` (no stored record carries a
  culture or tradition, so answering "undecidable for every record" would be a
  sentence about the deployment dressed as one about the corpus), and the
  `rights`/`permission` filter dimensions (both narrow within what a reader may
  already see, YSD-13012, and neither has an executor).
- **Verification:**
  - `acceptance-taxonomy-search.spec.ts` **28**, `taxonomy.route.spec.ts` **8**;
    study-workspace suite **810 files / 13 110**; service route suite green;
    contracts suite green.
  - Adversarial stub scan clean; lint clean; generator drift checks pass; all
    six `tools/yemaya-study/check-*.mjs` gates pass.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-19041** — all five retrievers now run: metadata (all
  thirteen source constraints, language and version from the edition that
  declares them), taxonomy (over a real vocabulary and real tags), text,
  semantic and visual; with rights, epistemic labelling, version pinning
  (including the vocabulary versions in force), per-dimension explanations, and
  zero-leakage proven against a rights-withheld work.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='YSD-19041'`.

## 2026-08-09 — YSD-22054 requirement scope: the axis a green portfolio check cannot see

- **Item:** "Confirm tests cover the full requirement scope, including failure,
  permission, rights, expiry, deletion, accessibility, version, partial,
  offline, and scale behavior where applicable."
- **Why the existing gate did not answer it.** `check-test-portfolio.mjs`
  (YSD-18101) proves every module is under a test — coverage along the axis of
  MODULES. A module fully covered by a spec that only ever drives the happy path
  passes it. The item names ten BEHAVIOURS, so the axis is (module × behaviour),
  and nothing measured it. Grepping the library for the machinery first:
  `requirementScope`, `scopeCoverage`, `SCOPE_DIMENSIONS`, `behaviourDimension`
  — **zero hits**.
- **Artifact:** `tools/yemaya-study/check-requirement-scope.mjs` +
  `check-requirement-scope.test.mjs` (**28** rule tests, one planted hole per
  rule and a planted PASS per rule) +
  `docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/requirement-scope-exemptions.json`.
- **Neither side of the check is supplied by the person writing the tests:**
  - **Applicability is read off the implementation.** A dimension applies to a
    module when the module DECLARES a state belonging to it — an `as const`
    register member, a string-literal union alternative. Nobody can decide
    expiry "does not apply here" while the code carries an `'expired'`; the only
    way to make it inapplicable is to delete the state.
  - **Coverage is decided by EXECUTION.** For a state produced by code, the
    question is whether the suite ran one of the lines that produces it, read
    from a V8 coverage report. The tempting textual rule is wrong in this
    codebase and provably so: `policies/still-image.ts:95` pushes
    `{ severity: 'error' }` and `still-image.spec.ts` drives it with `width: 0`
    while asserting `valid === false`, never writing the word.
  - Where nothing produces a state — it lives only in a register or a type — the
    weaker assertion rule applies, and the report says which rule judged each
    row, because a reader who cannot tell them apart cannot tell how strong the
    answer is. `enumerated` is a third, weaker-still standing for a state a spec
    covers by iterating its register (`for (const family of METRIC_FAMILIES)`).
  - A **missing coverage report is a failure, not a pass**.
- **Five design corrections, each forced by a real false report on this
  library:**
  1. Tells match hyphen-delimited TOKENS, never substrings — `'shuttle'` read as
     a TTL, `'immigration-status'` and `'streak-loss-aversion'` as versions.
  2. Register lines are excluded from execution evidence: they run at import, so
     keying on them would mark every state in the program as reached.
  3. A producer counts when it sits on one import chain with the declarer, in
     EITHER direction — `ports.ts` declares the event union its use case emits,
     and `stk-build-attestation.ts` re-declares the verdict union of the signing
     policy it calls.
  4. A spec exercising a CALLER speaks for the module — every study adapter is
     built that way, and reading only direct importers reported all ten as
     having an untested unavailability state their suites assert on every run.
  5. Comments are stripped before literals are read: an apostrophe in prose
     ("the learner's own queue") pairs with the next quote and silently shifts
     every literal after it.
- **What it found, and what was done about it.** 757 applicable (module ×
  dimension) pairs. **Zero unreached** — every code-produced state in the ten
  dimensions is executed by the suite, which is a real finding about this suite.
  The gaps were all on the assertion side, and each was closed with a domain
  test rather than a restatement of the register:
  - `accessibility-capabilities` — the image/graph/audio/timeline alternative
    contracts and the `unsupported` ≠ `unavailable` distinction (nothing is
    `unsupported` today, and asserting the absence is what makes the day one
    appears visible);
  - `live-playback-sync` — each non-timeline accommodation, one by one, stays
    frame-locked (transcript panel, keyboard-only, reduced motion, larger text);
  - `feature-flags` — a lapsed licence drops `licensed-source` without taking
    `public-domain-open-license` with it;
  - `persona-onboarding` — `two-cleared-sources` and `a-transcript` are the
    near-misses that read like small asks and are not day-one reachable;
  - `template-gallery` — a pinning template refused into a project with no right
    to quote; `api-group-authorization` — an AUTHENTICATED operator route is
    still outside the project model, and a rights segment the manifest does not
    use yet is still classified; `error-taxonomy` — 429 "slow down" apart from
    503 "the thing behind us is down"; `peer-feedback-workflow` — a deferral
    owes nobody a reason and a decline does; `collaboration-safety` — blocking a
    participant and a session lapsing are recordable acts;
    `teaching-pack-publication` — a pack comes down for being WRONG, not only
    for rights; `lens-orchestration` — `partial` is terminal and reachable only
    from `running`; `adapter-compatibility` — `unsupported` and `unavailable`
    are one bucket to a consumer and two facts to an author;
    `outcome-impact-reviews` — the review still opens when the reviewer cannot
    reach the evidence; `source-to-decision-trace` — a rejected and a superseded
    step stay in the trace; `query-planner` — a REJECTED search may not claim
    results; `semantic-search` — a hit matched on a caption says so;
    `relational-chain-backup` — a grant that expired since the backup blocks a
    restore exactly as a revocation does; `completion-budgets` — the deletion
    budget measures propagation and is not a window of exposure.
- **One real defect fixed, not papered over.** `continuous-reevaluation.ts`
  documented four actions and its resolver could only ever return three:
  `'expire'` was unreachable, with `rights-expired` collapsed into
  `revoke-access`. The program distinguishes the two everywhere else
  (`provider-availability`, `comparison-declarations`, `synthesis-discipline`)
  and carries a `rights-renewed` event precisely because an expiry is curable by
  renewing and a revocation is not. The branch now exists, ordered so a
  withdrawal outranks a lapse when both hold.
- **Exemptions — two, and both are words that are not behaviours:**
  `revision-reflection` (a rubric dimension matched by the token `revision`) and
  `missing` (a column heading in `renderEvidenceMatrix`'s table). An exemption
  names ONE state in ONE module with a reason and a decider, and the checker
  refuses one whose state no longer exists.
- **Verification:** study-workspace suite green with coverage (**834 files / 13
  5xx tests**); `check-requirement-scope.mjs` passes over the fresh report; 28
  rule tests pass; the existing `check-test-portfolio.mjs` and the other program
  gates still pass.
- **Marked [x]: YSD-22054.**
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='22054'`.

## 2026-08-09 — YSD-22055 decision enforcement: a section heading is not a mechanism

- **The axis the existing green check cannot see.** `check-decision-log.mjs`
  (YSD-0139) passes on all eighteen Section 0.2 EXT decisions, and what it
  proves is real: each exists, is `approved`, by a named person, on a date, with
  an outcome recorded, and each artifact carries a section headed
  `## Machine-enforced outcome`. None of that reaches YSD-22055's second clause.
  A heading is a promise. An artifact may say "feature flags encode the segment"
  and the flag may not exist; it may name an architecture test nobody wrote; it
  may describe a registry whose members drifted from the approved list two
  releases ago — and the heading would still be there. The one-word greps for
  the missing machinery (`decisionEnforcement`, `enforcementAssertion`,
  `approvedOutcome`, `outcomeAssertion`) each returned zero files.
- **The doctrine was already in the repository, applied to other people.**
  `institutional-policy.ts` reports each declared clause of an institution's
  policy as `enforced`, `unenforceable`, or `violated`, on the principle that _a
  declared clause is a promise; what makes it a control is a mechanism in the
  running deployment that carries it._ YSD-22055 is that test turned on
  ourselves.
- **What was built.** `decisions/decision-enforcement.json` +
  `tools/yemaya-study/check-decision-enforcement.mjs` +
  `check-decision-enforcement.test.mjs` (36 rule tests). **45 assertions across
  all 18 approved decisions**, in four kinds — an exported register holds
  exactly/includes/excludes/orders the approved values; a source file does or
  does not match a pattern; a path is present or absent; an existing repository
  checker exits zero.
- **The anti-invention control, which is the load-bearing part.** Every
  enforcement carries a `quote`, and the check FAILS when that quote is absent
  from the decision's own artifact. Whoever writes the registry may only encode
  what the approver actually approved — the expectation cannot be quietly
  widened, narrowed, or invented, which is the S8.1 rule that the checked party
  may not supply both sides. It works: the first run rejected
  `"contracts model members/roles from day one"` for YSD-0137, because that is
  the decision-log's paraphrase and not a sentence in `ysd-0137.md`.
- **The same rule from the other direction.** A decision that is NOT `approved`
  may not carry enforcements at all. Enforcing a proposed default as though it
  were approved is precisely the failure the item's second clause names.
- **Assertions are evaluated, not delegated.** Binding an outcome to the NAME of
  a test suite would replace one promise with another, so the checker reads the
  code itself. Comments are stripped before any literal is read (an apostrophe
  in prose pairs with the next quote and shifts every literal after it), and
  both register spellings count — `[...] as const` and `: readonly T[] = [...]`
  — as do `Record` object literals, whose keys are read without leaking the
  strings inside their values.
- **Every live assertion was mutation-tested against the real repository**, not
  only against synthetic fixtures: drop each approved member (all occurrences —
  removing one of two leaves the second and the mutant survives), append an
  extra, insert an excluded one, reverse an order, delete every match of a
  present-pattern, plant a match for an absent-pattern, hide a path, reveal a
  forbidden path, fail a command. All 45 flip. Two needed record-shaped
  mutations (`RELATION_SPECS` keys are bare identifiers, so replacing string
  literals changes nothing) and two absent-patterns were verified by planting:
  `automationAvailable: true` into a first-release lens, `ELASTICSEARCH_URL`
  into the service config. Both fail as they should.
- **One open conformance question, and the item stays unchecked because of it.**
  YSD-0124's recorded outcome is _"local/owned files only; providers in a later
  phase"_. Provider deep-link registration is a live, ungated route today
  (`POST /works/:workId/provider-sources`), and `acquisitionCapabilities`
  reports `source.provider-deep-link` as supported with no wiring condition. The
  link-only property the decision attached to providers IS enforced — no
  representation the workspace generates derives from a provider link — but the
  phase gate is not, and no machine can rule on whether a phase has arrived.
  Recorded as an `openConformanceQuestion` the checker prints on every run and
  whose evidence pointers it keeps resolving (an observation pointing at nothing
  rots the same way an enforcement pointing at nothing does). It does not fail
  the build: the control that says "not yet confirmed" is the unchecked
  checkbox, not a red build on every branch.
- **One suspicion investigated and withdrawn.** YSD-0127 approves V2 as the
  first instrumented owned title while the shipped connector is SuperTuxKart, so
  this looked like a second divergence. It is not:
  `acceptance-owned-title-end-to-end.spec.ts` runs V2 end to end
  (`connectorId: 'oshun.v2.connector'`, `engineFamily: 'v2'`), and STK is the
  separate open-source seed corpus of YSD-14172/14173.
- **Verification:** 36 rule tests pass; the check passes with 45 assertions; the
  seven sibling program checkers (`decision-log`, `traceability`,
  `evidence-index`, `capability-inventory`, `reuse-ledger`, `architecture`,
  `stub-scan`) all still pass. Wired into both the `ci.yml` lint job and the
  `study-workspace.yml` governance job, rules included.
- **Marked [x]: none.** YSD-22055 stays `[ ]` pending the decision owner's
  ruling on YSD-0124.
- **Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='22055'`.

## 2026-08-09 — YSD-22057 release-gate evidence: every gate knew which build, none knew which machine

**Item.** _Confirm every mandatory release gate has fresh production-like
evidence for the exact release candidate and representative datasets._

**The finding.** `release-refusal.ts` is a careful and complete gate: it refuses
evidence that is missing, indirect, narrower than the requirement, produced
against another candidate, or excepted without an authorized signature. It
carried one qualifier on a piece of evidence — `againstRevision` — and this item
names four. There was no field in which "production-like" could be false and no
field in which "representative dataset" could be false, so a gate cleared on a
unit test over hand-authored records exactly as it would have cleared on a
production observation. The programme already knew better in two places and had
never joined them up: `search-corpora.ts` refuses a corpus before reading its
latency ("a fast wrong number is the one that gets believed"),
`capacity.integration.spec.ts` refuses an in-memory capacity report as not
release-grade ("a hash map has none of them"), and `test-evidence-bundle.ts`
pins `hardware-profile` and `dataset-version` per artifact kind. All three are
about performance. The nineteen gates that decide whether the product ships —
rights, privacy, security, accessibility, epistemic integrity — asked nothing
about where their evidence came from.

**A judge with nothing to judge.** The second half of the finding, and the one
that made the first invisible: the only corpus of `GateEvidence` in the
programme was the one `release-refusal.spec.ts` constructed for itself.
`atlasPanelGateEvidence` produced a single record for a single gate. Nothing
assembled the other eighteen, so the decision function had never been shown the
repository it was written to judge.

**What was built.**

- `GateEvidence.conditions`, a required discriminated union: an `execution`
  names the environment it ran in and the corpus it ran over, and anything else
  must say `not-an-execution` and why. Required and discriminated on purpose —
  an optional field would have left every existing record silently conforming,
  which is the state this item exists to end.
- Seven environments, each defined by **what it stands in for** rather than by a
  rung on a ladder, because the two mid-tier harnesses substitute opposite
  halves: the 31 route suites drive the real HTTP app and its auth over doubled
  stores, and the `*.integration.spec.ts` suites drive real PostgreSQL and MinIO
  with no boundary in front of them. Neither is "more integrated"; an ordinal
  score could not have expressed what a gate needs.
- Three new fields on each of the nineteen gates, every one read off the gate's
  own sentence: `mustNotSubstitute` (Gate 6 is about the store and the boundary,
  Gate 10 is about a renderer), `datasetFloor` (Gate 11's sentence is the only
  one that says "representative data", and it gets `representative`), and
  `humanSettleableScope` — empty for sixteen gates, and for Gate 8 exactly the
  three dimensions `PANEL_GATE_SCOPE` already claimed. A spec now holds those
  two lists to each other.
- Three refusal grounds: `not-production-like`, `unrepresentative-dataset`, and
  `judgement-offered-for-a-measurement`. The third closes the hole the second
  would otherwise have had — without it, every record could escape the
  conditions test by declaring itself unrunnable.
- Admissibility is judged **before** the scope arithmetic and inadmissible
  evidence is withheld from the coverage union, so a gate reports the conditions
  problem AND what is now uncovered. Same two-refusal shape a deferred pointer
  already produced.

**The anchor.**
`docs/proposals/yemaya-study-workspace/release-gate-evidence.json` records, gate
by gate, the evidence that actually exists, and `gate-evidence-register.spec.ts`
runs the whole register through the real `programReleaseDecision`. Nothing in
the JSON says where a run happened: `environmentFor` derives it from the
reference path, because a register that graded its own conditions would be the
self-attestation the programme refuses everywhere else. Each `slices` claim
carries a quotation that must appear verbatim in the file it cites, so a corpus
cannot be credited with material nobody can point at.

**The answer it produced, which is a refusal.** All nineteen gates refuse.
Eighteen refuse as `not-production-like`, fifteen of those ending in
`no-evidence` because nothing was left once the inadmissible was withdrawn.
Three (Gates 12, 14, 19) reach the corpus test and fail it. And the inversion
worth the whole exercise: **Gate 10 is the only gate that clears the conditions
test, and it is the only gate of the nineteen with no
`release-gate-*.spec.ts`.** Before this register, grepping `YSD-18139` found
`release-refusal.ts` and its own specs — the judge and nothing it could judge —
because the gate's subject is a rendered document and the harness that renders
one lives in another project. Its evidence is two real browser journeys, it
clears seven of its eight named parts, and it is short of exactly
`graph-and-canvas-alternative`: one work item rather than "accessibility is not
done". Gates 1, 3 and 18 likewise come back `narrower-than-requirement` rather
than unevidenced, because their e2e entries survived.

**Two open questions the register records rather than resolves.** No corpus
anywhere in the tree has a provenance other than authored-for-the-test, which is
the same gap YSD-19005 (licence the gold-set slices) and YSD-18002 (recruit the
cohort) already carry, reached from the other end. And no evidence exists from a
`deployed` or `production` environment because there is no deployment — which is
YSD-18163, also open. The dataset and environment axes independently rediscover
two items the checklist already leaves unchecked; that agreement is the reason
to believe the axes rather than a coincidence to explain away.

**Corrections made while building.** Seven gates had their `datasetFloor` set
too high on the first pass and were lowered after reading what the real refusals
said: a contrast ratio is a fact about pixels and a deletion is a fact about
stores, so neither needs licensed material. Representativeness is now required
exactly where the claim is _about_ the material — Gates 8, 9, 11 and 17.

**Verification:** `npx vitest run` over the whole library — 13,572 passed, 12
skipped, 833 files. `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean.

**Marked [x]: none.** YSD-22057 stays `[ ]`: the confirmation now runs, and what
it confirms is that the evidence does not meet the bar. Marking it would be
recording the mechanism as the answer.

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='22057'`.

## 2026-08-09 — YSD-22058 operational drills: the programme rehearsed only the procedures nobody runs

**Item.** _Confirm rollout, rollback, recovery, support, incident, expiry,
deletion, backup/restore, provider change, model replacement, and tenant closure
procedures have been exercised._

**The finding.** `operational-drills.ts` is a demanding evaluator. It refuses a
drill that was not measured, extrapolates a small one to full scale and uses the
extrapolation only to fail, requires per-kind verifications that separate "the
procedure ran" from "the procedure worked", and fails a drill outright when the
operator had to improvise a step, on the ground that the document is what is
under test. It knew six kinds — restore, deletion, provider-failover,
model-replacement, signing-key-rotation, rollback — against the eleven this item
names.

The six are not an arbitrary subset. **Every one of them is a procedure for
undoing or repairing something.** Not one runs when nothing is wrong. The
missing ones are exactly the procedures that run constantly: rollout, which
happens on every release and which rollback exists only to undo; expiry, which
fires on a clock with nobody present; support, whose counterparty is a person
outside the system; incident, which had eleven runbooks in a document and no
drill kind; recovery, which is the objective every continuity plan in the same
directory states and which no drill kind could measure; and tenant closure,
which had a continuity scenario and no way to exercise it. A taxonomy of things
that go wrong left out the things that go right, and "we do it all the time" is
a statement about frequency rather than about whether the documented procedure
has ever been followed and measured.

**The hardest rule in the file had nothing to fail against.**
`undocumentedSteps` counts departures from a document and no field named the
document. A drill following nothing at all improvises every step and records a
count of zero, so the check that exists to catch a wrong plan passed most loudly
when there was no plan.

**The strictest judge sat next to the weakest claim.**
`ContinuityPlan.lastDrilledAtMs` was an integer the plan's own author typed, and
it alone separated `verified` — which this module defines as the difference
between a measurement and a hope — from `unverified`. The evaluator that decides
what a drill has to be in order to count was in the same directory and there was
no reference between them. Worse, four of the eight continuity scenarios
(regional outage, connector revocation, tenant export, tenant closure) had no
drill kind at all, so their plans could reach `verified` on a date that no drill
could have produced even in principle.

**What was built.**

- Twelve drill kinds, and `NAMED_PROCEDURES` mapping the item's own eleven words
  onto them — `backup/restore` to `restore`, `provider change` to
  `provider-failover`. `recovery` and `backup/restore` stay separate because
  restoring data and restoring service are different procedures with different
  objectives. Required verifications for each new kind, each naming something a
  smooth run leaves untrue: a rollout that halted on its own signal rather than
  because somebody was watching, an expiry proven by moving the clock rather
  than by backdating a row.
- `DrillRecord.procedure`: the document followed, by reference and quotation, or
  an explicit `null` that makes the run inconclusive. Plus `operatorRole`, and
  `environment` in the seven-valued YSD-22057 vocabulary in place of a boolean —
  a reader needs to know which harness it was, not only that it was not
  production.
- `procedureExerciseStanding` / `programProcedureExercise`, whose ordering is
  their whole content: only a drill can rise above
  `mechanism-exercised-not-procedure`. A named procedure nothing accounts for
  throws rather than being skipped, because an answer about eleven procedures
  cannot be computed from ten.
- The join: plans cite a drill by id, `SCENARIO_DRILL_KINDS` is total over the
  eight scenarios, and `verified` now means `evaluateDrill` returned
  `validating`.

**The anchor.** `procedure-exercise-register.json` records, procedure by
procedure, the document an operator would follow and the runs that exist, and
`procedure-exercise-register.spec.ts` puts the register through the real
`programProcedureExercise`. The eleven names are parsed out of this checklist's
own sentence, so rewording the item breaks the check. Every quotation must
appear verbatim in the file it cites — including the ones inside a
`nearestGuidance` shortfall, because a claim about what a document does not
cover is a claim about a document. Environments are derived by the same
`environmentFor` the release-gate register uses, now lifted into
`release/evidence-environment.ts` so one rule serves both.

**The answer it produced, which is a refusal.** All eleven. **Nine have no
document an operator could follow at all** — and no runbook in `docs/runbooks`
names this workspace: the object-storage runbook's scope table lists yemaya
avatars, lilith voice audio and aphrodite recordings and not one study bucket,
and the provider-failover runbook's scope list names assistant, Sophia, Isis,
messaging and payment. The two that are documented — incident and deletion —
share `incident-runbooks.md`, written for YSD-4100's security incident classes.
**The programme wrote down what to do when it is attacked and never wrote down
what to do on an ordinary bad day.**

Both documented ones come back `mechanism-exercised-not-procedure`, which is the
category this item needed and did not have. The deletion saga is driven to
completion and through resumption against real PostgreSQL and object storage,
the expiry sweep crosses the lapse boundary with the read surfaces checked on
the far side, a real restore lands in an isolated environment with the chain and
tombstones intact, and migration 0006 applies over seeded volume with a live
writer. Calling that nothing would be false; calling it a drill would be false
too. It shows the mechanism works when invoked, and a procedure exists to answer
whether a person who has not done it before can make it work from the document,
under time, on the day it matters.

**A claim corrected while building.** The register first said nothing in the
programme constructs a `ContinuityPlan` outside its own module's spec. That was
wrong: `chaos-recovery-coverage.spec.ts` holds two real ones — a regional
failover with three owned steps, two audiences and a 60-minute objective, and a
key compromise. The accurate finding is narrower and better: two plans exist,
for two of the eight scenarios, and both are fixtures written to exercise the
assessor rather than documents an operator would open during an outage.

**Verification:** the continuity, reliability and release suites green;
`npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; architecture, test-portfolio,
release-integrity, stub-scan, evidence-index and doc-conformance checkers all
still pass.

**Marked [x]: none.** YSD-22058 stays `[ ]`. The confirmation now runs and it
answers no, on all eleven. Marking it would record the mechanism as the answer.

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='22058'`.

## 2026-08-09 — YSD-18163 launch-readiness rehearsal: every fault was answered and none was announced

**Item.** _Run a production-like launch-readiness rehearsal including ingest,
model outage, permission change, source expiry, incident, deletion, restore,
rollback, support, and status communication._

**The finding, first half: a rehearsal is a chain and every mechanism here is a
single link.** Six of the ten legs — permission change, source expiry, incident,
deletion, restore, rollback — are procedures YSD-22058 already asks about one at
a time, and running them again separately would add nothing. What this item adds
is the word _including_: the ten are legs of one run, on one person's work, in
one sitting. The failures worth finding live in the joins. A restore that runs
after a deletion has to not resurrect it. A rollback that runs after a
permission change has to not lose it. An expiry sweep that runs after both has
to see the world they left behind.

Nothing in the programme could express that. `drillCoverage` takes the most
recent drill per kind, which is a deliberate statement that the kinds are
independent. `chaos-scenarios.spec.ts` injects each fault "at the boundaries the
modules take as input", one at a time, each from its own fixture. Both are right
about the question they ask, and neither can reach this one. Note also which leg
the item puts first: **ingest is the only leg that is not a problem**, and it is
there because it supplies the thing every later leg acts on. Without it there is
nothing to expire, delete, restore or apologise for, and ten legs each with
their own fixture are ten drills sharing a title.

**The finding, second half, and it is the one that matters: the tenth leg has no
mechanism at all, and the absence is systematic.** Nine of the ten legs are
things that happen _to_ somebody. The register asks, leg by leg, how that
somebody comes to know. Three have an answer, and all three are the same kind of
answer — a refusal at the boundary carrying a real reason: `uploads_unavailable`
to the person mid-upload, `rights_denied` with the gate's reasons to whoever
next tries, and a 410 with a `lapsedNotice` naming when access lapsed and what
bound it. Those are good and this workspace has many of them. They reach the
person who was typing. They say nothing to the learner who was away, nothing
about scope, nothing about duration, and nothing at all once the request stops
being made.

**This workspace tells you when you ask. It has no way to tell you when you did
not.** That is `CHANNEL_KINDS`, and the unprompted half does not exist:

- The product **ships a customer-facing status channel** —
  `ConsumerShellStatusBanner` in `libs/oshun/shell-core`, four severities, three
  placements, dismissal and suppression rules, accessibility roles, and an
  audience list that names `scholar` and `teacher`, this workspace's own users —
  mounted in the customer shell on every page. The study workspace has never
  published to it: nothing under `libs/yemaya` or `apps/yemaya` imports
  `@oshun/shell-core`, and the only file in either tree that so much as names
  the banner type is the module whose docblock exists to record that nothing
  does.
- The **eleven incident runbooks** give Detection, Immediate response,
  Containment & eradication, Recovery and the owning mechanism. Every step is
  addressed to the responder. Not one has a step where the people whose work is
  affected are told anything — which is why YSD-22058's incident drill requires
  that "everyone the plan names was told inside the window it gives" against a
  plan that names nobody.
- **YSD-5124's availability model**, the code that decides what a learner may
  still do while analysis is queued, degraded or failed, returns four booleans
  and no sentence, so even a caller could not tell anybody why. It has no
  caller: neither `workspaceAvailability`, `analysisResultsAvailable` nor
  `isManualActionAvailable` is referenced by any route, component or read model
  in the monorepo outside its own module and spec.
- `alerting.ts` routes eight conditions to `page`, `ticket` and `notice`, and
  all three are destinations inside operations.

**The programme built the response to every fault and never the announcement of
one.**

**What was built.** `continuity/launch-rehearsal.ts`:

- `REHEARSAL_LEGS` and `LEG_PREREQUISITES`, with `restore` depending on
  `deletion` — the join a set of drills cannot test — and every leg after the
  first depending on `ingest`.
- The chain itself. A leg names the effect ids of earlier legs it **observed**,
  not the ones it could have; carrying in an effect no leg produced, or one that
  had not finished being produced when the leg began, throws rather than scoring
  low, because a fabricated chain is not a weak one.
- The subject. A leg acts on the run's subject or on something an earlier leg
  produced from it (a restored copy legitimately has its own id); anything else
  is "a drill that ran during the rehearsal rather than a leg of it".
- The witness — what the person whose work it is could still do, which surfaces
  they lost, and the impact — which is the axis no other mechanism in this
  programme has, and the closing read, because nobody had ever established what
  a user is left holding after the worst day.
- `announcementsFor`, which checks each announceable leg against six ways of
  being silent while appearing not to be: saying nothing; saying it once it was
  over; saying it only in advance, so people were told what might happen and
  never that it had; **saying it over the surface the fault had taken away**;
  saying something milder than what happened; and saying it to a room the
  affected person was not in. The window is thirty minutes, borrowed from
  `docs/runbooks/v6-capacity-management.md`'s SEV-1 cadence rather than
  invented, because the study workspace states none — it has no communication
  step to attach one to.
- A verdict ladder that names the most basic thing missing: `incomplete` →
  `disjoint` → `unwitnessed` → `unclosed` → `silent` → `substituted` →
  `rehearsed`. Making a disjoint run speak changes nothing while its legs are
  still ten separate drills.
- `lossLeftUnannounced`, which is the one rule that cannot be per-leg. A run can
  satisfy every announcement check leg by leg and still end with the closing
  read naming work that did not come back, because the loss is only visible once
  all the legs are over. Whoever was witnessed during the day has to be told,
  without asking, in terms at least as severe as what happened, **and after the
  last leg ended** — a `work-lost` notice published mid-day described a loss the
  restore and the rollback were still expected to undo, and accepting it would
  let the day's worst finding be laundered by the announcement of the deletion
  that started it.
- `legStanding` / `programLaunchRehearsal`, keyed to a **named release
  candidate**: a rehearsal is evidence about the build it ran on, and one from
  two releases ago is `rehearsed-other-build` rather than a pass. A named leg
  absent from the input throws, as YSD-22058's eleven do. A leg is never graded
  better than the run it was a leg of: a chained leg inside a run that came back
  `substituted`, `silent` or `unclosed` is `rehearsed-in-a-flawed-run`, because
  a per-leg grade computed without regard to the day around it is how a
  rehearsal driven entirely over doubles reports ten rehearsed legs and a
  complete programme.

**Five holes found by adversarial review and closed**, over two passes — the
second pass confirming the first four and finding the fifth. All five had the
same shape: a weak record reading as a strong one. (1) A leg inside a rehearsal
that was itself substituted, silent or unclosed still counted as rehearsed, so
`complete` could be true for a day nobody was told about; that is what
`rehearsed-in-a-flawed-run` now catches. (2) A closing read reporting the
subject gone still graded `rehearsed`. (3) A notice published _before_ its leg
began produced a negative silence and no issue, so a scheduled-maintenance
banner could stand in for the incident that followed. (4) The "responsive leg
with nothing to be about" finding was recorded and then ignored by the verdict;
it is now a disjointness signal (`LegFinding.grounded`), which is also what
makes the prose about support and status communication coming last true of the
code. (5) Once (2) was closed, the loss could still be laundered by any earlier
unprompted `work-lost` notice — the announcement of the deletion standing in for
the finding that it never came back — so the notice must now postdate the last
leg.

**The anchor.** `launch-rehearsal-register.json` records, leg by leg, the runs
that drive its machinery and every channel the product has, and
`launch-rehearsal-register.spec.ts` puts it through the real
`programLaunchRehearsal`. The ten names are parsed out of this checklist's own
sentence and round-tripped. Every quotation must appear verbatim in the file it
cites, including the ones inside a `nearestChannel` shortfall. Environments are
derived by the same `environmentFor` the release-gate and procedure-exercise
registers use. `candidateRevision` is held equal to
`release-gate-evidence.json`'s, because two registers naming different
candidates have quietly become two questions.

**Two absences are scanned rather than asserted.** That the workspace has never
published to the status channel, and that the availability model has no caller,
are claims about what is _not_ there — the kind that rot silently. The spec
walks every TypeScript file under `libs/yemaya` and `apps/yemaya` and asserts
the exact file sets, **with both identifiers assembled at run time so the spec's
own text cannot satisfy the search it performs**. The runbook scan is the same
shape. Wire any of them up and this file fails.

**The answer it produced, which is a refusal.** All ten. Eight are
`exercised-alone`: real runs, most against real PostgreSQL and real object
storage on every change, each starting from its own fixture, so what they show
is that the leg works by itself and never that it works after the legs that
change what it means. Support and status communication are `unexercised` —
nothing in the programme performs them. Zero legs are `announced`; three are
`answerable-only`; seven tell the affected person nothing at all. And the
rehearsal is not merely unrun but **unrunnable**: two of its ten legs have
nothing to run.

**Verification:** `launch-rehearsal.spec.ts` and
`launch-rehearsal-register.spec.ts` green, the continuity directory 124 tests,
including one that drives every verdict the ladder names so that no rung is a
rule nothing can reach; the full library suite 13,662 passed / 12 skipped across
838 files, exit 0; `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean; architecture,
test-portfolio, release-integrity, stub-scan, evidence-index, doc-conformance,
traceability and decision-enforcement checkers pass. The requirement-scope
coverage report was regenerated and that checker passes too — the `partial`
dimension moved from 195/196 to 196/196 evidenced, the one addition being this
module's `incomplete` verdict, now driven by a test that executed it rather than
declared in a comment.

**Marked [x]: none.** YSD-18163 stays `[ ]`. The rehearsal now has a shape that
would recognise it, and no rehearsal has been run — nor could one be, while two
of its legs have no mechanism and no environment above `service-integrated`
exists. Marking it would record the shape as the run.

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='18163'`.

## 2026-08-15 — YSD-19025 seeded content: curated, admissible, and unreachable

**Item.** _EXT Seed exemplar studies, selected Blender open-movie production
material, selected open-source game footage, walkthroughs, and templates._

**The finding.** All five classes existed. Each had a register, each had a
judge, each judge was green against the real registers, and
`seededWorkspaceCoverage` reported on the set as a whole — including the two
things no per-class judge can see, an empty class and a walkthrough over
material an exemplar has already published an account of. **Nothing called any
of it.** `seededWorkspaceCoverage` and `renderSeededWorkspace` were imported by
one spec and by no application; `EXPERT_EXEMPLAR_STUDIES` had no importer
outside its own module but a spec; and `SEED_CLASS_SPECS` named each register as
a STRING that nothing dereferences. The content a first release ships with was
curated, admissible and unreachable, which is content the release does not ship
whatever the registers say. The EXT decision this item carried had already been
settled by its owner (`decisions/ysd-19025.md` — bundle Sintel, 1.18 GB,
accepted on accessibility rather than size), so what remained was not a decision
and not a licence. It was a caller.

**What was built.** `onboarding/shipped-seed.ts` composes the five registers and
judges every member on the way through — exemplar admissibility recomputed
against the catalogue it is handed, so a study admissible against the shipped
corpus is not admissible against one that dropped its sources.
`GET /api/study/onboarding/seed` (manifest route `seededWorkspace`, generated
client method, group `onboarding`, classified `read` by the existing
path-derived matrix) serves it with no project and no tenant read, because this
is what the RELEASE carries and a learner with no project yet is exactly who
needs it. `StudySeedGallery` renders it on `/studio/study`, above the sources
library.

**Three things the composition adds that no register could.** A refusal travels
with the gallery, in the judge's own words: a shelf that printed only its
survivors would read identically whether the register held seven sound templates
or seventy of which seven survived. The walkthrough/exemplar collision is told
to BOTH sides and neither is dropped — dropping the walkthrough hides material
the release paid for, dropping the exemplar hides a finished study, and saying
nothing lets the learner meet the spoiler first, which is the only one of the
four outcomes that is actually wrong; the caveat names THAT an account exists
and never what it found, so it restores the ordering without being the leak it
warns about. And the cold start reports what the install CARRIES beside what the
first pass fetches, because two absences read alone say nothing about whether a
fresh install has any material at all.

**The run, recorded.** `scripts/record-seed-run.ts` reads the route from a
running deployment — svc-study-workspace against the dev-compose Postgres and
MinIO — and writes `seeded-workspace-run.json`: status 200, 23,998 bytes,
`sha256:4c080ba47bad770015439b435e49e30fde14d6b2f05126537de8e15f33193171`, 34
members on five shelves (7 studies, 14 production parts, 4 game parts, 2
walkthroughs, 7 templates), nothing withheld, `carriedByInstall`
`[sintel-render-1080p]`, `fetchedOnFirstRun`
`[ed-render-480p, stk-grand-prix-recording]`. The digest is taken over the
response bytes before anything parses them; a digest over a re-serialization
would pin the recorder's JSON writer and not the service's answer. A non-200 or
a contract violation is recorded as one and exits non-zero.

**Verification.** `shipped-seed.spec.ts` 12 tests, every control driven by
doctoring the shipped registers — a template broken into a provenance
contradiction moves from the shelf to `withheld` carrying the judge's message; a
citation added to a shipped study builds the collision the seed deliberately
does not contain and both entries gain their caveat while the shipped seed gains
neither; the bundled part flipped back to `remote-fetch` empties
`carriedByInstall`. `seeded-workspace.route.spec.ts` 6 tests through the
generated client, including that the served body equals the in-process
composition and that the tenant gate still refuses a foreign token (403).
`StudySeedGallery.spec.tsx` 7 tests, fixtures parsed through the published
response schema before they are served. `studio-study-seeded-content.spec.ts` 3
chromium tests against the real stack (web → `/api/study` proxy → service),
including an axe scan of the panel. Library suite green; contracts
client-smoke/openapi/route-fuzz green; `api-group-authorization` green;
`npx tsc --noEmit` clean for the library, the service and the web app.

**Marked [x]: YSD-19025.**

**Closing it took its dependent gate's only dependency with it.** YSD-19028 was
a dependent-gate entry naming one item. What that dependency was hiding is that
the machine half of the Phase 1 exit is finished and green: `phase-one-exit.ts`
judges all eight fault kinds, and its integration suite drives a study of each
medium through the real HTTP API into the study schema on Postgres, reads it
back with `assembleQuestionLoop`, and gets `ok: true` with `deferredBlockers`
naming only `mastery-evidence` — Phase 3's, by YSD-14106. Run here with
`STUDY_PG_REQUIRED=1` so a down stack would have failed rather than skipped: 5
passed. It stays `[ ]`, on the subject of its own sentence: the only studies
that gate has ever judged were driven by a test over footage ffmpeg synthesized
in the same run, and the item says prove a LEARNER can. Its register entry is
now `participants` and says so.

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='19025'`.

## 2026-08-15 — YSD-22054 requirement scope: the instrument was reading comments as code

**Item.** _Confirm tests cover the full requirement scope, including failure,
permission, rights, expiry, deletion, accessibility, version, partial, offline,
and scale behavior where applicable._ Already `[x]`; this is a repair of its
instrument and of the CI lane that runs it, and it appends rather than amends.

**How it surfaced.** The YSD-19025 pass regenerated the coverage report the
check reads — the first fresh one since 2026-08-09 — and the check went from
stale-and-failing to fresh-and-failing with six unscoped behaviours. Five of the
six were the instrument, in three shapes, and every one of them is the same
mistake: **the source was read as code without the comments taken out.**

- `producerSites` named `extension-observability-binding.ts:14` as the only
  place `'error-rate'` is produced, and then reported that no test had executed
  it. Line 14 is a sentence of JSDoc quoting a publisher's declaration. No test
  executes a comment, so the strongest accusation this checker can make —
  produced but never reached — was being levelled at prose.
- `classifyLines` ended the top-level type union of `human-correction.ts` at
  line 50, because a JSDoc sentence ends "(YSD-19120, the causal-comparison
  family)." and the closing parenthesis of an English aside took the bracket
  depth negative. Every union member after it read as CODE, so twelve declared
  states became productions no test could ever have executed.
- `enumeratesRegister` knew three spellings of traversal and not the fourth. A
  spec asserting `toEqual([...GOVERNED_SUBJECTS].sort())`, or supplying
  `artefacts: [...PHASE_ONE_ARTEFACTS]` as a fixture, traverses the whole
  register and NAMES no member — which is exactly what makes it worth writing,
  because a spec that spells its members out goes stale the moment the register
  gains one. Under the old rule the better test read as no test at all.

**The fix, with its controls.** `linesWithoutComments` blanks comments in place
so line numbers still match the coverage report, and `classifyLines`,
`producerSites` and `declaredStates` all read it. A type block now ends at its
semicolon or at the next top-level declaration rather than at the first blank
line, so documentation between union members no longer closes it. Six rule tests
pin each fix beside the control that keeps it from blinding the checker: a state
produced inside a string that contains a comment marker still counts; an
unterminated type alias still stops at the next top-level declaration, so it
cannot swallow the file; a bare mention of a register is still not a traversal,
and spreading a different register says nothing about this one; and with the
comment blanked, a state nothing supplies is still reported.

**The check that the repair did not weaken the gate.** The applicable-state
count per dimension is identical before and after — 129 / 74 / 105 / 76 / 54 /
130 / 77 / 223 / 7 / 26 — so no state left the checked set; only their standings
moved, each into a rule that names why. The 28 planted-hole tests that existed
before still pass unchanged.

**The sixth finding was real and got a test.** `PersistenceKind` has three
members and nothing had ever supplied the third. `phaseOneExit` refuses anything
that is not `authoritative-database`, so `'unknown'` — the observer saying they
could not tell where the study ran — is refused, and a gate whose whole
qualifier is "on production persistence" must refuse it rather than give it the
benefit of the doubt. Asserted now, message and all.

**A CI lane was red and the redness was invisible.** The workflow produces the
coverage report by running the library suite with v8 coverage and no timeout
override. Under instrumentation `camera-motion.spec.ts`'s vocabulary sweep takes
about thirteen seconds against a five-second default, so it failed there and
nowhere else — and vitest writes NO coverage report from a failed run, so the
requirement-scope step downstream reported a MISSING report rather than the
timeout that caused it. The test now carries an explicit 60 s timeout with the
reason written beside it.

**Verification.** The exact CI command
(`npx vitest run --coverage.enabled --coverage.provider=v8 --coverage.reporter=json --coverage.include='src/**' --coverage.reportsDirectory=.coverage`)
now completes: **888 files, 15,217 tests passed, 28 skipped, 0 failed**, and
writes the report. Against that report: `check-requirement-scope.mjs` passes —
858 declared states across 10 of 10 named behaviours, 569 by execution, 271 by
assertion, 16 by enumeration, 2 exempt — and
`node --test tools/yemaya-study/check-requirement-scope.test.mjs` passes 34. The
rest of the battery (architecture, doc-conformance, evidence-index, open-item
accountability, release-integrity, stub-scan, traceability) passes.

**Marked [x]: none.** YSD-22054 was already marked; its evidence-index entry was
`incomplete` with an empty evidence list and a note describing a different
concern, which is corrected to `proven` with the instrument, its rule tests, the
exemptions register and the CI workflow as evidence.

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='22054'`.

## 2026-08-15 — YSD-22052/22053 evidence index: the disagreement nobody read backwards

**Items.** _Enumerate implementation evidence for every checklist item_ and
_classify each_, both already `[x]`. This is a repair of four entries and of the
rule that should have caught them, and it appends rather than amends.

**The finding.** `check-evidence-index.mjs` has always refused an entry
classified `proven` against an item the checklist leaves unticked — two records
disagreeing, and the note says which one is usually wrong. The same disagreement
read the OTHER way was never checked, and it decays differently: the entry is
written while the item is open, the item closes months later, and nobody comes
back to it. **Four entries were in exactly that state**, and three of them still
carried the sweep boilerplate — "blocked on a human/external act (recruitment,
licensing, participant evaluation, or an owner product decision). Nothing in the
tree can close it." — the same sentence the open-item accountability register
was built to replace.

- **YSD-22054** was `incomplete` with an EMPTY evidence list and a note about a
  different item, while its instrument was gating CI on every push.
- **YSD-10107** and **YSD-12102** closed on 2026-08-09, each by building the
  evaluation instrument its constituencies run through, and each entry still
  said the item was blocked on people. The instruments are honest about the
  people: all six atlas templates report `unevaluated` on all four dimensions
  with every constituency named silent, `atlasPanelGateEvidence` covers nothing
  of Gate 8, and `releaseRefusals` refuses rather than clears. The panel itself
  is YSD-18002's and is still open, which is where that work is owned.
- **YSD-19120** closed on 2026-08-14 with the project-aware family, the last of
  the six it names; the entry still said higher-quality analysis "needs models
  the box does not have", true of the sweep that wrote it and false of the item.
- **YSD-19128** closed on 2026-08-13/14; the entry still said the phase-exit
  gate was "blocked by the open items in its own phase".

**The repair.** All four are `proven` now, each against the modules and specs
that closed it, with a note that says what closed it and — for the two
evaluation instruments — what it deliberately does NOT claim. And the checker
gained the mirror of its own rule: a classification that states a deficiency
(`contradicted`, `incomplete`, `missing`) against a TICKED item is refused, with
a message that names both repairs, because which record is wrong is not
decidable from inside the checker. Positive-controlled by planting the fault on
a healthy entry (YSD-22056) and watching it fail, then restoring.

**What the counts say now.** 1305 items indexed: 1286 `proven`, 16 `incomplete`,
3 `contradicted` — and the nineteen non-proven entries are exactly the nineteen
items the checklist leaves open. The two records agree, item for item, for the
first time.

**Marked [x]: none.**

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='22053'`.

## 2026-08-15 — YSD-19143 shadow validation: the record that could not go stale, and nothing checked

**Item.** _Run parallel/shadow validation and compare data, rights, playback,
annotations, search, and exports before cutover._ Already `[x]`; this gives its
record a reader and re-cites its evidence, and it appends rather than amends.

**How it surfaced.** A sweep of every register in this directory for a reader:
grep each file name across `tools/`, `libs/`, `apps/` and `.github/`.
`shadow-validation-verdict.json` came back with **zero** — its only mention
anywhere is a sentence in `DEVELOPMENT.md` saying how to regenerate it.

**The finding, which is about a claim rather than a defect.** The verdict file
says of itself: "Admissibility is DERIVED from the code … so a legacy change
flips a verdict here rather than leaving this file stale." That is true of how
the verdicts are COMPUTED — every one is derived, none asserted — and it was not
true of the file, because deriving them again is something a person had to
remember to do. **Re-run on 2026-08-15: every status and reason still matches**,
so the record was accurate; what it did not have was any way for its inaccuracy
to be noticed on the day it began.

**The reader.** `shadow-validate.ts --check` re-derives the six verdicts and
compares them to the record: status and reason exactly, and `detail` word for
word after ONE normalisation — the legacy service mints its ids from the clock
(`vid_<millis>_<random>`) and the data verdict quotes one to show the two id
spaces are disjoint. Normalising that number keeps the whole sentence under
comparison, rather than dropping `detail` from the check, which is where a check
like this usually goes to die. The file's own summary counts
(`comparableDimensions`, `divergedDimensions`) are checked against its rows, and
a dimension that stopped being derived, or appeared, is drift in both
directions. Two rule tests pin it, and the end-to-end control is a planted flip
of the data verdict — refused, then restored. Both run in the study-workspace CI
lane.

**The evidence was pointing at the wrong artefacts.** This entry cited three
§19.8 migration modules — `compatibility-redirect.ts`, `deprecation-notice.ts`,
`duplicate-path-removal.ts` — which are the neighbouring module family of the
subsection, and exactly the indirect evidence YSD-22053 says to treat as
incomplete. Nothing in them is a shadow validation. The harness, its tests, the
verdict and the CI lane are cited now.

**What the verdict actually says**, unchanged: three of six dimensions have no
admissible legacy baseline — rights (the legacy types carry no rights, licence,
grant, territory or expiry concept), playback (the Aja adapter records the
technical-metadata path as `unavailable-simulated-backing`, so agreement with it
would be the defect), exports (nothing in the legacy service serialises). Of the
three comparable, data agrees and annotations and search diverge, both because
the new model is more honest than the old: a legacy annotation carries seconds
and no rate, and the legacy index has no indeterminate state, so a record the
workspace refuses to decide arrives as a plain absence.

**Verification.** `--check` passes (6 dimensions, 3 comparable, 2 diverged);
`npx tsx --test tools/yemaya-study/shadow-validate.test.mjs` passes 10; the
planted-flip control fails as it should; evidence-index, doc-conformance and the
rest of the battery pass.

**Marked [x]: none.**

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='19143'`.

## 2026-08-15 — YSD-0101/0103: two schemas nothing read, one of them cited in the checker's own header

**Items.** _Machine-readable capability inventory_ and
_reuse-versus-wrap-versus- replace ledger_, both already `[x]`. This makes their
`$schema` files load-bearing, and it appends rather than amends.

**How it surfaced.** The same reader sweep that found
`shadow-validation-verdict.json` unread: `capability-inventory.schema.json` and
`reuse-ledger.schema.json` both came back with zero readers.

**The finding.** `check-capability-inventory.mjs` opened by saying it fails when
"the inventory does not validate against its JSON Schema (dependency-free
structural validation implemented below)". The validation was implemented below;
**the schema was never read.** The required-field lists were typed out a second
time in JavaScript, and the two copies had already come apart:

- the schema requires `appsPath` on every domain entry and the hand copy did not
  list it, so an entry omitting the key satisfied the checker and violated the
  schema it claimed to be checked against;
- `additionalProperties: false` is on every object in the schema and was
  enforced nowhere, so a stray or misspelled field passed;
- the schema is stronger in three more ways the copy never had — `integer` with
  `minimum: 0` on the counts, `minLength` floors under every free-text field,
  and `contributesTo` required on `dataAuthority`.

`check-reuse-ledger.mjs` never mentioned its schema at all, while
re-implementing the status vocabulary, the disposition vocabulary, the
twenty-character rationale floor and the conditional that makes an
`ownerDecision` block mandatory for a `partial` or `fixture-backed` entry —
every one of which the schema already states, the last as an `if`/`then`.

**Both registers pass the schema as they stand**, so the drift was latent rather
than live. Latent is what this programme's registers are for: the day it stops
being latent is the day nobody is looking.

**The validator, and the refusal that makes it safe.**
`tools/yemaya-study/json-schema-subset.mjs` is dependency-free (the repo root
deliberately has no ajv) and implements exactly the keywords the two schemas
use. **A partial validator that silently ignores what it cannot read is the same
failure one level up** — the caller believes the document was checked — so it
THROWS on any keyword outside its supported set rather than returning "no
problems". Adding a keyword to either schema therefore extends the validator or
fails loudly, and can never quietly narrow what is checked.

**What the checkers kept.** Everything the schema cannot say: agreement with
`domains.json` on owner, paths and status; paths that exist in this working
tree; the fourteen named domains and no others; the ledger's own
`decisionPolicy` naming `partial` and `fixture-backed`; the §5.2 table parsed
out of the proposal; and the pending-decision count YSD-0139's gate consumes.
The duplicated shape checks are gone.

**Verification.** Seven rule tests, including the refusal in three positions
(top level, nested definition, and a `format` neither schema uses), and a
planted violation of **the two rules the hand copies had lost** — a domain entry
with `appsPath` deleted and one carrying an unknown field — both reported
against the REAL inventory. Both checkers pass; the battery passes; the tests
run in CI's lint job beside the two checks and are listed in DEVELOPMENT.md's
block, which `check-doc-conformance` holds equal to that job.

**Marked [x]: none.**

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='0103'`.

---

## 2026-08-16 — the nineteen open items, re-derived one at a time

**Why.** The accountability register's own `$comment` says a
`machineSliceRemaining: false` "is worth exactly the pass that last looked".
Every one of the nineteen still said `false`. This is that pass: each entry's
claim re-derived from the machinery it names, rather than read.

**Seventeen held, and four things did not.**

**1. A study surface this session added was accounted for by nothing.**
`check-accessibility-evidence.ts` refused `StudySeedGallery.tsx` — "belongs to
no surface and is not declined; until each is placed, a change to it stales
nothing and its accessibility is nobody's evidence". It is a `seeded-content`
surface now. The checker is in CI's lint job and my earlier battery had run only
the `.mjs` checkers, so the tsx one went unrun: **a battery is a list, and a
list that grew a member in another language has a hole in it.**

**2. The modalities lane claimed a reach its own selector could not have.** Its
`surfacesByFlow.contrast` names 21 surfaces, recorded in August 2026 from a
measurement of axe's evaluated-node list "on /studio/study" — a PAGE-WIDE scan.
The lane's own scans pass `include: ['[data-study-app]']`, and that route
renders `data-study-app` as ONE SIBLING among the panels: `page.tsx` composes
home, sources, manual-mode, the workspace shell and the rest beside it, and the
marker appears in exactly one component. Two independent measurements agree — a
walk of the import graph from `StudyWorkspaceApp.tsx` reaches 17 files spanning
3 of the 21 claimed surfaces, and reading `page.tsx` shows ten of them rendered
as siblings outright. The reduced-motion walk had the same shape
(`[data-study-app] *`).

**The repair is the instrument, not the claim.** Narrowing the register would
have described a scan nobody wanted; the recorded measurement is what the lane
should have been doing. The contrast scans are page-wide now and the motion walk
covers every element the route composes. **The widened lane passes — 15 tests,
6.4 minutes, against the real stack** — so the register's 21-surface claim is
true for the first time, and the new surface joins it for contrast and zoom.

**3. `check-test-portfolio` was red on a module the web app imports.**
`accessibility/client.ts` is the browser-safe entry point — it exists because
the main barrel reaches `node:crypto`, so importing policy from it would pull a
Node builtin into a browser bundle — and no spec reached it by any import path.
Its header states the rule that makes it an entry point ("everything reachable
from here must be pure") and nothing checked that either. The spec now walks the
real relative-import graph from it and fails on the first `node:` specifier,
naming the file that pulled it in; planting `node:crypto` in
`region-text-alternatives.ts` fails it, as the control. It also calls the policy
rather than only naming it: a bounding box a shape fills a quarter of overstates
it, one it fills 95% of does not, and a box of no area cannot overstate
anything.

**4. The program-completion gate understated its own dependencies by fifteen.**
YSD-22061's first clause is "every in-scope item is proven" and its `dependsOn`
named three. A reader saw an item three closes from done that is eighteen. It
names the whole open set now, which the checker holds live: an item closing
without this entry being edited becomes a gate waiting on something already
done, and it refuses that.

**What held, with what it was checked against.** YSD-18011's six relation cases
and YSD-18012's six path conditions are the item's words, exported
(`RELATION_JUDGEMENTS` × `RELATION_GRANULARITIES`, `PATH_CONDITIONS`);
YSD-18010's six live in `GOLD_CASE_KINDS`, `ANNOTATOR_EXPERIENCE`,
`ANNOTATION_ANSWER_MODELS` and `bounded-readings.ts`'s counter-reading stance —
all six exist and every one of those items says INCLUDE, which is corpus content
over cleared material. YSD-19108's floor is `RELIABILITY_MIN_STUDIES = 10` and
an empty population is refused with three faults, not passed. YSD-19064's four
named lens gates exist. YSD-22058's eleven procedures all carry a runbook and
eight carry an exercised mechanism. YSD-18163's ten legs all carry a mechanism
and three carry a channel. YSD-16065 resolves eight journeys over **zero**
recorded sessions. **YSD-22057 is the sharpest of them**: `environmentFor`
derives an evidence environment from the file path, and the ladder tops out at
`browser` for anything the repository can run — no lane here can produce
`deployed` or `production` evidence, so the eighteen gates refused
`not-production-like` are refused structurally and not for want of citing
something. The three dependent gates besides YSD-22061 name exactly the open
items of their own sections.

**Marked [x]: none.** Nineteen still open, and every
`machineSliceRemaining: false` has now been looked at rather than inherited.

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='18107'`.

## 2026-08-16 — YSD-22052: a citation that resolves to a directory

**Item.** _Enumerate implementation evidence for every checklist item_, already
`[x]`. Appends rather than amends.

**The finding.** `check-evidence-index.mjs` requires every `proven` pointer to
resolve on disk, and `existsSync` is true of a directory. Thirty-one citations
across twenty-four entries pointed at three SOURCE DIRECTORIES —
`src/onboarding`, `src/scale/`, `src/rollout/` — which is the module family an
item shares with its neighbours rather than the artifact that proves it: exactly
the indirect evidence YSD-22053 says to treat as incomplete, wearing a resolving
pointer's clothes.

**It was not harmless.** Twenty of the twenty-four resolve to a module in the
cited directory that names the item in its own text. **Four do not, and three of
those are implemented outside the directory they cited**: YSD-14177's
empty/partial/no-model/no-permission/source-expired states are
`policies/surface-states.ts`; YSD-17100's residency definitions are
`libs/contracts/src/study/deployment-residency.ts`; YSD-17106's
disaster-recovery documentation is `continuity/disaster-recovery.ts`;
YSD-17107's drills are `continuity/operational-drills.ts`. A directory citation
cannot be wrong about which file, which is why it stayed.

**The repair.** All twenty-four now cite the implementing module, and every
replacement was checked twice before it was written: the path resolves to a
file, and that file names the item id in its own text. The rule is enforced now
— a citation must resolve to a FILE — with one sanctioned exception, migration
directories, taken from the evidence log's own immutable-link contract
(YSD-0112): a migration is pinned as "the repo path of the migration directory
plus the SHA that introduced it", because migration files are append-only by
repo policy and the directory is therefore the stable artifact.
Positive-controlled by planting a directory citation on YSD-17050 and watching
it fail.

**Marked [x]: none.**

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='22052'`.

## 2026-08-19 — YSD-18107: what the seven unmounted panels are waiting for, measured rather than described

**Item.** _Maintain accessibility automation and manual evidence for every
critical flow_, `[ ]`, and its remaining machine slice: the seven finished
panels no route reaches.

**The finding.** The slice was described in prose on 2026-08-17 as a choice that
is "not uniform" — "for some it is a BFF projection over a store that exists,
and for at least one it is the domain itself" — with `EvidencePack` cited as
real "across contracts, the persistence registry and a Veritas API client".
Re-measured against the import graph, the persistence registry and the Prisma
schema, that was wrong three ways.

**There are two `EvidencePack` contracts.** The contract under
`contracts/common` declares the object all three evidence panels cite — `slug`,
`excerpts`, `retrievalTrace`, `consumers`. `libs/contracts/src/veritas/index.ts`
declares a different object of the same name — `storyId`, `claimIds`,
`evidenceItems` — and it is the Veritas one the API client serves at
`/veritas/evidence-packs`. The reach cited belonged to the other contract.

**A table with no writer is not a store.** The common contract's table,
`v1_cross_cutting_evidence_pack`, is in `schema.prisma` and in the
`20260527184417_v1_initial` migration. Nothing outside the generated Prisma
client has ever named its accessor `crossCuttingEvidencePack`.

**No panel imports the contract it cites.** All seven declare their own view
types, copied by hand. `EvidencePackKind`, `EvidencePackStatus`,
`EvidencePackVerificationStatus` and `CanonicalCitationVerifierKind` all match
their contracts member for member today, and nothing keeps them matching: a
contract change cannot break a panel and typecheck cannot report the drift.

**The measurement is now a rule.** `accessibility/unmounted-backing.ts`
re-derives the three premises every run — the projection's producers, the
contract objects' consumers, the table's callers — and fails when a write-off
has stopped being true or a declared cost no longer matches the repository. The
view type is matched by NAME (a superset: it cannot miss a producer) and the
contract by IMPORT (four files name `AuthoringJob` in prose and import nothing),
and the question is asked of the named OBJECTS rather than the module, because
`common/citation.ts` holds `CanonicalCitation`, which the panel writes, beside
`CitationTrail`, which the registry registers.

**And one copy had already drifted.** All thirty string-literal unions the seven
panels declare were held against every `z.enum` in the cited contracts and in
the modules those contracts import. Twenty-three are exact copies — two of them
from a module the panel's header never names, and one from an enum the contract
does not export (`factCheckStatus` is declared inline inside an object in
`authoring-job.ts`; a vocabulary that cannot be imported is one that gets
retyped). Five name vocabularies `libs/contracts` does not define at all, and
all five sit on `EvidenceExportBundlePanel`, so a producer for it must
canonicalize export formats, redaction levels, audit audiences and ten scope
flags before it can assemble anything. And `GroundedReportGroundingLevel`
declares FOUR levels where `GroundedReport.groundingSummary.level` carries SIX:
`weakly_grounded` and `unknown` are unrepresentable in the panel that promotes
the report. The panel's readiness evaluator branches on that field three times
and mirrors the contract's own three refinements exactly, so the logic is right
and the type cannot hold two of the six states — harmless while nothing produces
the view, wrong on the first day something does. Recorded as a hand measurement
with its date and method and deliberately not made a rule: a gate over seven
files this decision may retire is a gate written for a world that may not exist.

**Measured:** 3 `producer-over-an-empty-store`, 1 `store-first` (SourceSet,
which `libs/oshun/evidence-sophia` validates and hashes with no table to hold
it), 3 `domain-first`.

**Why it became EXT.** Eight vocabulary probes over the proposal return zero
hits: it asks for none of the seven. Every one shipped under a V1-SOP item in
`docs/releases/v1/specs/todos.md` marked `[x]` on an acceptance that named the
component, its tests and a clean typecheck, and never a route. Mounting is
V1-SOP work in V1-SOP's code; retiring moves files another initiative marked
done; and declining is unavailable, because the map's established decline reason
— "belongs to X, which owns its own accessibility evidence" — would be false:
this is the only accessibility surface map in the repository. Drafted as
`decisions/ysd-18107.md` with three pending controls, actor reclassified
`participants → decision-owner`, and YSD-16005 now depends on it rather than
claiming a machine slice it had already said was not its own.

**Marked [x]: none.**

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='18107'`.

## 2026-08-19 — YSD-19006: the Phase 0 exit gate judged two of its four clauses over nothing, and passed

**Item.** _Phase 0 exit: prove teams can implement independently without
competing identities, evidence models, rights decisions, or duplicate domain
engines_, `[ ]`. Its accountability entry read, in full, "Closes when its
Phase-0 contents close", with actor `dependent-gate` — the register's own class
for an item that owes nothing of its own.

**The finding.** It owes something of its own. `policies/phase-zero-exit.ts`
judges all four of the item's clauses, purely and correctly, and only two of
them are judged over anything. `evidenceModelFaults` reads
`AUTHORSHIP_VOCABULARIES`; `competingDecisionAuthorities` reads
`DECISION_AUTHORITIES`. The other two inputs default to empty — `labellings` to
`{}`, `computations` to `[]` — so `collapsed-distinction`,
`duplicate-domain-engine` and `copied-theory`, three of the five blocker kinds,
cannot be reported by a call that supplies neither. **No register of the
workspace's computations exists anywhere in the tree**: `WorkspaceComputation`
is a shape with a judge and no corpus.

**Every phase-zero primitive has exactly one caller — its own spec.** That
spec's workspace-wide case was named "passes over the workspace as it stands",
handed in ONE labelling (`markdown-export`) out of the twenty-three surfaces the
accessibility map declares and ZERO computations, and asserted `blockers: []`.
The module is scrupulous about the difference — it returns
`examined.labelledSurfaces` precisely so a pass cannot be read wider than it is
— and nothing read the field. Phases 1, 2 and 5 each got a runner for exactly
this reason; phase zero never did, and unlike theirs its inputs are repository
facts rather than a deployment's, so it needs no stack.

**A gate that passes vacuously where its three siblings refuse.**
`phaseOneExit([])` faults on every required medium; `phaseFiveExit` returns
`no-study-started` rather than a rate; the phase-two reader withholds a verdict
it cannot take over the whole run. `phaseZeroExit()` returned `passed: true`.
`unexamined-population` is now a blocker kind, emitted once per empty input and
naming what that silences, so the default call refuses.

**And a frozen count wearing a rule's name.** The spec case "covers every
vocabulary the tree declares, not a sample of them" read no tree: it asserted
`AUTHORSHIP_VOCABULARIES.length >= 14`, beside a comment recording that sixteen
vocabularies existed when the gate was written — a number counted once, by hand,
that does not match the fourteen entries beside it. The `satisfies Record<…>` on
each entry is real enforcement and binds only the entries already present, so a
vocabulary added next week is the one nobody reduced and nothing would say so.
It now collects the types every `authorKind` field takes across the library and
asserts set EQUALITY with the register, in both directions — a stale entry is a
finding too, and a sweep that broke would leave every entry unaccounted for
rather than passing an empty comparison. Measured today: thirteen types on both
sides, equal. The types are read off the FIELD rather than off a `*AuthorKind`
name, and an indexed access is skipped with its reason written down.

**Marked [x]: none.** The item is reclassified `dependent-gate → implementation`
with its machine slice named: the two missing corpora and a runner.

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='19006'`.

## 2026-08-19 — YSD-19065: the Phase 3 gate and its read model were both finished, and nothing joined them

**Item.** _Phase 3 exit: prove the primary filmmaking and performance-learning
journey is coherent from exact source evidence through original practice_,
`[ ]`. Its accountability entry read, in full, "Closes when its Phase-3 contents
close", with actor `dependent-gate`.

**The finding.** It was modelled differently from its two identically-shaped
siblings. YSD-19028 (Phase 1) and YSD-19108 (Phase 5) are `participants` with a
store landing and a runner as the join, each built because "an integration spec
that drives the API, writes three studies and grades them proves the reader
works and is not a join: it can only ever answer for its own fixtures, and the
item is about somebody else's work." Phase 3 had both halves — `phaseThreeExit`
judging eleven fault kinds across four qualifiers, and
`read-models/study-to-practice-arc.ts` assembling one subject's arc behind one
question with every hop a real join — and the only thing carrying one to the
other was `phase-three-exit.integration.spec.ts`, over two studies it drove
through the HTTP routes itself in the same run.

**The runner is built**, modelled on the Phase 1 and Phase 5 tools, and it was
verified against the dev stack over two projects and four questions from an
earlier end-to-end run — records it did not create. With the notebook store
wired it reports `evidence-unattributable` on both subjects and three standing
workspace faults: `art-direction`, `character` and `visual-design` shipped in
YSD-19060's scope and `REWATCH_FOCUSES` maps no focus to any of them, so
evidence for those craft dimensions arrives with nothing declaring which subject
it belongs to.

**Two selection rules are the tool's own, and the second is a correction it
needed.** The gate grades the FIRST journey it is handed per subject, the same
discipline `phaseOneExit` applies to media, so journeys are presented in the
store's own total order and nothing ranks, scores or picks a best one. And a
study whose evidence is entirely UNSTAMPED is kept — in both subjects. The first
draft dropped it, on the reasoning that an empty subject station means the study
is not that subject's journey; that made `evidence-unattributable` unreachable
and reported `subject-unstudied` instead, which says "nobody studied this" where
the truth is "somebody did and nothing says what of". It is not hypothetical:
both observations in the dev deployment are unstamped, and under the first rule
the gate was told neither subject had been studied at all.

**Marked [x]: none.** The item is reclassified `dependent-gate → participants`
with the runner recorded as the join. What remains is the subject of its
sentence: a journey somebody actually walked.

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='19065'`.

## 2026-08-20 — YSD-19006: the gate's two empty populations, and the badge nothing called

**Item.** _Phase 0 exit: prove teams can implement independently without
competing identities, evidence models, rights decisions, or duplicate domain
engines_, `[ ]`. Its 2026-08-19 entry named the machine slice exactly: "TWO
REGISTERS AND A RUNNER, and the registers are the work."

**Both registers and the runner are built.**
`policies/workspace-computations.ts` declares every workspace computation read
against Hathor's four owned theories. Each of the four `EVIDENCE_BINDINGS` is
recorded as held with the field, guard or returned member it was read off, or
absent with what is missing, in a `Record<EvidenceBinding, BindingReading>` — so
a declaration that skips a binding fails the build rather than reading as a
denial. `policies/record-labellings.ts` declares every labelling of an epistemic
record, holding the real exported function rather than a copy of what it does,
and naming the exact expression the surface renders through so a surface that
stops calling it is a finding rather than a silent pass.
`tools/yemaya-study/run-phase-zero-exit.ts` carries both to the gate. It is the
fourth phase runner and the only one that needs no deployment: its subject is
the source, so it sweeps the tree — walked, never `git grep`ed, because git grep
reads the index and an untracked file is invisible to it.

**The first scoping pass was wrong, in the direction a keyword pass is always
wrong.** The 2026-08-19 note said "nothing in the study workspace computes
cuts-per-minute, average shot duration, a tension curve or an MDA record". THREE
modules compute average shot duration. It had scoped off `ANALYSIS_METHODS`,
which lists what a deployment can RUN rather than what the library computes, and
a source pass misses them too unless it knows that **the separator is a property
of the phrase**: this tree writes `shot-duration`, and a search for
`shot duration` returns `shot-duration-distribution.ts` not at all. The tells
now use `[-_ ]?` between words, and the register's own worst case is a test:
`unfindable-declaration` fires when a pattern cannot find a module the register
already knows about, because a sweep that cannot find what is written down
cannot find what is not.

**The labelling half found that `epistemicBadge` had no product call site at
all.** Ten `<EpistemicTypeBadge>` sites across the studio, and not one passed
`authorKind` — so every one took the component's TYPE branch, which the
component itself documents as "correct for a section heading or a legend entry …
and wrong for a record". Four surfaces, all fixed here:

- the PDF printed `[interpretation]` — the stored identifier, author dropped —
  while the Markdown badge beside it printed `Interpretation` and would have
  printed `Interpretation · Model suggestion` for a machine's reading. Two
  notations of one claim that did not say the same thing, in the artifact
  furthest from a correction;
- the analytical CSV's `epistemicType` cell was the bare type. A `standing`
  column now carries the layer, so the type column stays machine-filterable and
  the distinction lives beside it;
- `LensOutputItem` dropped `author` on the way out of the read model, so no lens
  renderer could have badged a machine's reading as a suggestion even if it had
  wanted to — the rule the presentation layer cannot reach, one level further
  down than the time it was found in the surfaces;
- the epistemic record trail and the lens inspector badged records with their
  section's type.

**The gate runs, and refuses.** Three blockers on the first run, two after the
fix below. `policies/pacing-metrics.ts` reported a shot rhythm — a mean and a
coefficient of variation over `{ startMs, endMs }` shots, with a second private
`coefficientOfVariation` beside the one in `shot-duration-distribution.ts` to
drift away from. That is not a description of a measurement; it is Hathor's
design-time calculation ("over shots nobody anchored to a source")
reimplemented. `computePacing` now takes `ShotRecord`s and reports
`computeShotDistribution`'s own distribution WHOLE — projecting it back to a
count and a mean would put the uncertainty and the exclusions straight back in
the bin they were taken out of.

**That fix needed the gate's model widened, and the gap was real.**
`WorkspaceComputation.delegatesToAdapter` says "the owning domain computes
this"; a module that instead calls the workspace's own measurement had no way to
say so, so `duplicate-domain-engine` was unclosable by construction — two
modules touching one capability were a duplicate whatever either of them did,
including the one thing that fixes it. `delegatesToModuleId` says it, and it is
not an escape hatch: the register refuses a delegation to a module it does not
declare, to one sitting next to a different capability, or to one that delegates
onward, because written on both of two modules it would clear the fault while
leaving two implementations standing.

**What remains is one computation and it needs an instrument that does not
exist.** `suggestions/project-shot-scale.ts#scoreSourceRelative` reports a
source's own shot-duration mean and standard deviation as the reference a shot's
mark is taken against, and prints them in its statement. It cannot be closed by
editing the module: its producer reads cut times out of
`detectShotBoundariesInVideo`, and nothing in the estate models how uncertain a
detected boundary is — so an `uncertaintyMs` written there would be a number
nobody measured, and delegating to `computeShotDistribution` needs the same
field and is blocked on the same thing. Worth recording beside it:
`computeShotDistribution` itself has no product caller, so the binding it
enforces has never been satisfied by real material either.

**Marked [x]: none.** The item still depends on YSD-19005, which is licensing
rather than repository work. `machineSliceRemaining` stays `true` and now names
the boundary-uncertainty measurement rather than the two registers.

**Verified.** 15,432 library tests, 1,371 studio tests,
`tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` clean, the web typecheck ratchet clean with 0 new
errors, the stub scan at 0 findings, and the runner's own test file wired into
CI as the completeness gate — a module somebody adds that computes one of
Hathor's four quantities, or a surface that labels an epistemic record, fails
there rather than being quietly absent from a corpus that still looks whole.

**Commit:** resolve via `git log --grep='19006'`.

**Addendum, same day — the remaining blocker was scoped, and it is three
different kinds of work.** Closing
`suggestions/project-shot-scale.ts#scoreSourceRelative` means giving it the
three bindings it lacks and then delegating, and they do not cost the same:

- `carried-uncertainty` is buildable, and it is a projection of a measurement
  rather than a number nobody took. `adaptive-shot-detection.ts` already
  distinguishes its two boundary kinds — a hard cut is a peak at one frame, so
  the change happened inside the interval since the previous frame; a gradual
  transition is a RUN placed at its excess-weighted centroid, so the boundary is
  uncertain across the run's extent. Both figures are in the signal the detector
  already holds. It ripples through `detectShotBoundaries`' two callers, the
  release-gate comparison, `ProjectShot` and `readProjectShotUnits`;
- `accounted-exclusions` is cheap and half-done: the unit reader already
  discards spans below `minimumShotSeconds` and `manage-analysis.ts` already
  writes `discardedShots` onto the detection. They reach the RECORD and not the
  COMPUTATION, so the norm cannot say what was left out of it;
- `required-qualitative-context` is a product ruling and not a field.
  `qualitativeContext` occurs in exactly two modules in the whole estate and no
  route, command or analysis request carries a person's sentence into either.
  **That is also why `computeShotDistribution` has no product caller**: the
  discipline it enforces has no path that can meet it. Whether an automated run
  must collect a human reading before it may report a tempo has to be decided
  before it can be built, and deciding it closes the same hole under YSD-9183.

Recorded on the accountability entry rather than started, because the first part
touches a persisted detection payload on a live analysis path and the third
cannot be started at all until somebody rules.
