Rulings landed 2026-08-10, each its own GA-R5 exchange with the operator's exact
utterance (no batching):
- DEC-01 "New D-144, supersedes D-123"       -> mint D-144, flatten Model B to
                                                Option 1 for the 10.13 redeploy
- DEC-11 "(B) shared-outer + per-DC-flat"    -> tofu root shape
- DEC-13 ".8 / vr1-dcN-client"               -> client-VM octet+name (D-134 amendment)

D-144 (docs/design-decisions.md): full entry with the three exchanges, the shape
adopted, the accepted power-key blast-radius tradeoff named in the body (GA-R3 A1),
the reconciliation ledger, and the OWED items (DEC-15 power-key mechanism incl.
reach + SEC-034; DEC-14/16 the (a) control; DEC-08/09 rack/D-131 retirement,
live-re-measure-gated; DEC-24 dc0<->dc1 mesh + cross-DC Ceph path; 13 owed
artifacts + 9 owed live measurements). This ruling DECIDES the shape and builds
NOTHING -- Model B stays the LIVE shape until the redeploy executes (hard rule 1).

Reconciliation recorded in D-144's ledger + append-only cross-notes:
D-123 SUPERSEDED, D-125 TERMINATED, D-128 AMENDED (Plane-2 shrink); D-134 gains a
dated .8 amendment. Precedent for mint-not-amend: D-143.

CURRENT-STATE.md updated in the same commit (GA-R1 C1): container-elim block flips
"[ARCH] ruling OWED" -> "CORE RULED / D-144 ADOPTED", next-free now D-145.
repo-lint 0-fail; ledger-scan confirms D-144 registered.
