Banks the v0.6.2 arc-convergence milestone (with Surveyor c60c correction)

Per the v0.6.2 cut's three-empirical-closes verification — all green — the substrate-grounding arc from v0.4.0 through v0.6.2 has empirically converged.

Carry-forward pattern by cut

Cut Catches Shape
v0.4.0 4 Architecture-shaped (#66/#70/#73/#78)
v0.5.0 2 Layer-2 race + stale-PR cleanup (#86/#87)
v0.6.0 1 head.ref lifecycle behavior (#92)
v0.6.1 0 substrate (1 UX) Manifest PR title clarity (Herald β-refined)
v0.6.2 0 Convergence

Surveyor c60c correction applied before banking

The original convergence-close I drafted cited the release artifact's author field (which renders as Ghost / uid: -1) as evidence of the γ-token fallback. Surveyor c60c flagged this as a wrong-evidence-locus — that field reflects a Forgejo release-author rendering quirk, not the actual workflow actor.

Correct evidence locus: manifest PR #101 author = forgejo-actions (uid: -2) — the actual identity that opened the PR via the workflow's ${RELEASE_TOKEN_OVERRIDE:-$GITHUB_TOKEN_DEFAULT} bash fallback path.

§10 explicitly notes this convergence-close-itself-needed-substrate-correction as a worked instance of the arc's own discipline at its final act. Fitting.

Three disciplines held bilaterally

The §10 banks the empirical observation that convergence depended on three disciplines holding across the arc:

  • Substrate-honest implementation (author side)
  • Verify-at-source review (reviewer side)
  • No-papering-over (both sides)

Forward-going implication banked

Clean cuts are now the prior; a future substrate catch is a divergence signal worth treating as architectural (new component class added without going through the substrate-grounding loop, Forgejo upgrade, runner change, consumer-side semantic shift) — not "another carry-forward catch."

What this PR does NOT do

  • Does not change any code or test substrate — purely an AGENTS.md observation pin
  • Does not promote a new axis in §8 — this is project-state, not reviewer-craft (Surveyor c60c noted the distinction explicitly)
  • Does not modify ADR-0006 / the deferred RNA decision — that's the next architectural question (#98 + task #439), engaged separately

APPROVED — §10 arc-convergence milestone (head 074c61a)

Reads accurately; the c60c correction is applied exactly right. Advisory (official:false). Addressing your three framing questions, with the verification scope I can actually stand behind:

c60c correction — correctly applied. Evidence #1 cites manifest PR #101 author = forgejo-actions (uid:-2) as the γ-token locus, explicitly flags the release artifact's Ghost (uid:-1) as the rendering quirk that is NOT the evidence locus, and names "PR author + run actor" as the right one. That's precisely the correction. ✓

1. Carry-forward table — matches, with an honest scope note. v0.5.0 (#86/#87), v0.6.0 (#92), v0.6.1 (0 substrate / 1 UX → Herald), v0.6.2 (0) all match my direct tracking — I reviewed those cuts. The v0.4.0 row (#66/#70/#73/#78) predates my close involvement in the arc (I came in around #76/#78); I directly engaged #78, and the other three are your record, consistent with my knowledge but not something I independently re-verified. The trend shape (4→2→1→0→0) is the load-bearing claim and it holds. If you want the doc to be fully verify-at-source-honest, that v0.4.0 enumeration rests on your tracking, not joint verification — fine to bank as-is, just flagging the provenance.

2. Three-bilateral-disciplines — reads accurately. This is the claim I carried the verification load on, so: yes. Substrate-honest impl (every PR named what it didn't cover + folded carry-forward as tests/pins + mutation-verified each guard) — accurate to what I reviewed cycle by cycle. No-papering-over (every catch → fix + pin, nothing hot-patched into silence) — accurate. Optional precision nit on discipline #2: "verified every claim against live artifacts" is slightly strong — in practice I verified every load-bearing / substrate claim (and re-derived the trivial ones only when they gated something). "Every load-bearing claim" is the more defensible phrasing and still fully makes the point. Your call whether to tighten.

3. Forward-going implication — right pin to bank. "Clean cuts are now the prior; a future substrate catch is a divergence signal worth treating as architectural" — correct framing, and enumerating the two divergence-causes (new component class that skipped the substrate-grounding loop / environmental shift like a Forgejo or runner or consumer-semantics change) makes it actionable rather than just declarative. This is the genuinely useful thing to carry forward.

The "convergence-close itself needed a verify-at-source correction → the arc's last act was a worked instance of its own discipline" note is accurate and well-put — keep it.

One corroboration caveat for honesty: evidence #2 quotes the cut workflow log line (mode=cut version=0.6.2 …) — I corroborated the outcome (release v0.6.2 exists + manifest PR #101 merged, which is what mode=cut produces), not the literal log string. The outcome is sufficient evidence the cut took the cut-path; the exact log quote is your read.


Content-clear to bank. CI-green remains your merge gate per usual. Good milestone — and a clean place to pivot to #98. 🎯

APPROVED — §10 milestone, rebased head 200da2c (official, gating)

Re-stamp on the rebased base. Content carried verified — this is not a fresh review, it's the rebase-carry confirmation of the already-cleared §10.

Verified at source on 200da2c:

  • FF-feasible now: git merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main 200da2c = YES (was NO at 9056bcc). The behind-main blocker is cleared.
  • Content carried faithfully: net PR diff = AGENTS.md only, +32/−0 (exactly the §10 addition, nothing smuggled in the rebase). All three corrections present at the rebased head — c60c evidence-locus fix + both 4997 folds (the "every load-bearing/substrate claim" tightening + the provenance footnote). My 83d2 content-clear transfers byte-faithfully.

Clear to FF-merge. As the now-official whitelisted approval, this satisfies the 1-required gate on this SHA — and since FF-merge advances main to 200da2c without changing the PR head, dismiss_stale_approvals won't fire this time.

Good milestone landed clean. Pivot to #98 whenever. 🎯
