Batch 3 CLOSE: memory hygiene (GA-F05..F08 memory surfaces) + G1 review; GA-F16 registered ...

Per the recorded provenance rulings: review-after-each-step.md REMOVED
(GA-F06 -- one-time instruction, never standing) and project-posture-
closed-test.md REMOVED (GA-F07 -- "ruling" never ruled; posture NEUTRAL);
hostname -> vcloud in the Remote Control memory (GA-F05 last surface);
MEMORY.md index rebuilt (GA-F08). GA-R7 rule-6 skill line added to
SKILL.md bootstrap. First full G1 review (rules 1-4) found + fixed one
further violation: creds-folder-convention.md duplicated a repo-carried
convention and linked both removed files -- registered as GA-F16, reduced
to a pointer entry. Post-review: 3 memory files, zero violations, zero
stale refs (grep-verified). Pre-edit copies: docs/archive/memory-20260718/
(index copy ASCII-normalized, noted in the changelog). G3 cell updated
same commit (L10 satisfied).

Revert: restore files from docs/archive/memory-20260718/ (memory side);
git revert this commit (repo side).

GA register: record the Phase-4 hold/order/format directive (was in-session only) ...

Operator guard applied: an unrecorded directive is not a directive. The
Phase-4 delivery order (GA-R3, R5, R1, R2, R6, R4, R7, vocab A/B), the
one-per-exchange format, and the hold-until-G11 rule are now in the
register. No GA-R text exists yet; Phase 4 remains HELD pending G11.

GA register: Phase-3 ACCEPTED (external review); GA-F02 scope addition (banner demotion) ...

Reviewer cold-verified eight probe-cited lines; 21/21 judged earned.
GA-F02's Phase-5 fix now explicitly demotes the readiness doc's fresh-
session banner to a one-line pointer at the G9 canonical entry path, so
probe hole H1 cannot survive the sweep. Phase 4 HELD pending the
operator's personal G11 pass.

GA register: Phase-2 ACCEPTED (external review); Phase-4 drafting directives recorded ...

Operator directives from the Phase-3 dispatch: G11 signs the post-probe
version; GA-R1 gains a ~350-line size budget + same-commit rotation to
as-builts; as-built division of authority (STATUS vs CONFIGURATION-of-
record); probe integrity rules. Recorded pre-dispatch so probes see only
committed state.

GA-F15: ledger-scan counter self-inflation by audit outputs -- found, reworded, re-verified ...

Phase-2 authoring surfaced that the audit's own records inflated ledger-scan's
mention-derived counters twice (env snapshot wrapped line -> BUNDLEFIX +1;
CURRENT-STATE.md draft section 9 -> DOCFIX +1, inside the sentence claiming
DOCFIX was unaffected). Both surfaces reworded token-free; re-run confirms
true values D=130, DOCFIX=197, BUNDLEFIX=052. Scanner hardening deferred to
Phase 5 per the freeze. Also: GA-F14 addendum (autostart absent from state;
the collapse claim was structurally impossible, per the Phase-2 sharpening).

GA register amendments: GA-F03 evidence pointer corrected; GA-F01/GA-F10 operator directions ...

- GA-F03: the 1.12.3 pin lives at opentofu/README.md:41, NOT root README
  (verified by grep; root README carries no pin). Notes the extractor scope
  gap (opentofu/README.md is outside the doc scan set).
- GA-F01: authoring direction recorded -- expected plan count is UNRESOLVED
  pending D-130; CURRENT-STATE.md must not pick a number.
- GA-F10: the legal stage-status vocabulary is an explicit Phase-4 operator
  A/B ruling.

GA Phase 1: deterministic record inventory + measured evidence (freeze upheld) ...

- scripts/record-audit.py + tests/record-audit/ (24/24; gauntlet 69 GREEN):
  doc census, status-claim extractor, reference integrity. Exit 0 == zero
  contradiction groups (the Phase-6 re-run criterion).
- docs/audit/record-inventory.md: 179 files, 858 claim rows, 12 contradiction
  groups (plan counts, version pins, stage statuses), reference-rot counts.
- docs/audit/outer-plan-20260718.txt: captured outer plan -- 7 add / 2 change
  / 7 destroy; voffice1 seed volume forces replacement. THE citable
  plan-count source from here forward.
- docs/audit/env-snapshot-20260718.md: measured host/guest/toolchain state
  (vcloud, -136 bookend done, autostart enable, tofu 1.12.4, MAAS 3.7.2,
  LXD 5.21.5).
- docs/audit/grounding-audit-20260718.md: findings register GA-F01..GA-F14
  incl. the operator provenance rulings on the two memory files and the
  07-16 06:41 churn-mechanism correlation.

No fixes applied; no existing file touched. Findings only, per the charter
freeze. Phase 2 (CURRENT-STATE.md rebuild) starts from this evidence base.
