GA-R4 ledger rotation (fifth pass) + the 2026-07-29 bounded close bookend ...

Operator: "Process the rotation now".

The live ledger was 296 lines against the 300-line cap and this session's
bookend would have taken it to 321. Rotated OLDEST-FIRST per GA-R4 rule 3:
the two oldest live summaries -- 2026-07-26 (D-137 build + committee audit +
remediation) and 2026-07-27 (creds consolidation + the STAGE 4 CLOSE-OUT) --
moved VERBATIM to docs/archive/session-ledger-rotated-20260729.md. Verified
by diff against HEAD that they were MOVED, not rewritten. Each still points
at its own archived full body, and no live surface referenced them by their
old location. Live ledger now 264 lines.

The bookend is 15 content lines against GA-R4 rule 1's 15-line cap --
measured, and trimmed from a 21-line first draft rather than left over
(the fc00d54 precedent). It records the arity gap + R11's three ruled gate
changes, the renderer and its byte-for-byte reproduction, the measurement
that INVERTED the ordering, ruling 3 commit 1 with the deploy-gate near-miss,
and what commit 2 owes.

The machine-derived block is a CONFIRMATION, not a re-seed: ledger-scan was
re-run today and every value is unchanged (3 open decisions, SEC 21, next-free
D 138 / DOCFIX 205 / BUNDLEFIX 053), so the block is annotated with the
re-verification date rather than rewritten.
