Session close: GA-R4 bookend, skill sweep, ledger rotation, permission block removed
...
CLOSE SET, all executed and verified:
BOOKEND (GA-R4). The STAGE-5 GROUNDING AUDIT close bookend had already landed
while the operator was away, by design. They then returned and worked the queued
rulings, so this session's second entry is recorded as a POST-CLOSE ADDENDUM
rather than a second close -- the 2026-07-25/07-26 precedent, which states the
convention in terms: "The close bookend landed early by design; this addendum
records the work that followed it rather than re-opening the entry." Catching
that avoided leaving TWO close entries for one session. Addendum is 12 bullets
against the 15 cap.
LEDGER ROTATION (GA-R4 rule 3 / F1). The addendum took the live ledger to 321
lines against the 300 cap. One oldest-first pass left it at 307, still over, so a
SECOND pass was taken in the same close: both 2026-07-25 summaries (handoff-pack
execution, and MAAS admin-account recovery) moved VERBATIM to
docs/archive/session-ledger-rotated-20260727.md. Live ledger now 292 lines, five
entries, from the 2026-07-26 D-137 addendum onward.
SKILL SWEEP, done although NO STAGE CLOSED, on operator direction. Three new
invariants folded into SKILL.md, each earned this session:
- A FINDING IS AN OBSERVATION, NOT A CONCLUSION -- measure before putting it to
the operator. Four of the first six questions changed shape on measurement and
three were withdrawn or re-scoped.
- A CITATION IS AN EXISTENCE CLAIM; ONLY ITS CONTENT IS EVIDENCE -- both bugs
behind the v4-only lb-mgmt draft failed on reading and the conclusion inverted.
No gate reads prose, so nothing in a repo can catch this.
- RULED IS NOT BUILT -- D-134's bands and D-020's vault VIP were both properly
ruled and never implemented, and passed every gate for weeks.
Into references/script-authoring.md: the repo-lint L5 heading trap (a heading
LEADING with a D-number needs AMENDMENT or RESOLVED on the same line -- it bit
this session twice and was on no author-facing surface), the commit-gated-on-lint
pattern that then caught its second occurrence, and the space-aligned .tsv.
Into references/operating-discipline.md: the probe PATH determines the answer --
the office1 VMs read "unreachable" via voffice1 and NO-CLONE from vcloud, and only
the second is a finding.
Snapshot regenerated as openstack-cloud-ops-consolidated-20260727.md: 1695 lines,
ASCII/LF byte-verified, all five new items present. A stale snapshot is the
recorded failure mode of docs/audit/skill-divergence-20260725.md.
CHANGELOG extended with the full ruling table (14 ruled, 2 withdrawn, G18 opened)
and the sweep/skill sections, each carrying its revert.
PERMISSION BLOCK REMOVED as promised at grant time: allow 303 -> 248, ask 24 -> 7.
All 55 session-scoped allow rules deleted and the five original broad
`ssh voffice1 "maas admin <noun> *` ask rules restored in place of the 23
verb-scoped ones. JSON validated. The file is gitignored, so the scope doc's
section 6 and this changelog are its only durable record.
FINAL VERIFICATION: repo-lint 0 fail / 1 warn (the L1 legacy carve-out, expected);
gauntlet ALL GREEN (81 harnesses); ledger-scan reconciles at 21 open SEC rows and
next-free D 138 / DOCFIX 205 / BUNDLEFIX 053 -- UNCHANGED, correctly, because
fourteen rulings were recorded and nothing was remediated.
Revert: git revert this commit; the skill edits are additive, the snapshot is
derived, and the ledger rotation is reversible from the archive file.
