 - OWNED: ran the host-dependent P5 gate on the WRONG host (vcloud not voffice1) -> a "12 findings, gate grew" manufactured-decision framing, caught by the advisor (instrument-currency #25); asserted the SEC partition "sums to 28" when it summed to 24; overstated SEC-021(a) as resolved (S2 still RED); a shred-hazard on a likely-live dc1 token -> declare-only. AND: CLOBBERED `session-ledger-rotated-20260809.md` with a Write (overwrote a tracked file I had not read) -- caught in `git status`, restored from HEAD + appended correctly.
 - Gates: repo-lint 0-fail (1 legacy warn); gauntlet ALL GREEN (103); ledger-scan reconciled. Ledger rotated (the two 2026-08-07 blocks -> `session-ledger-rotated-20260809.md`). Memory: instrument-currency #25 added.
 - NEXT: present the re-IP GA-R5 ruling (would be D-143) with the check#3 accept-or-run choice; then teardown (build R7's revocation checklist) -> redeploy on 10.13. Sweep: `docs/audit/queued-findings-20260809-open-items-review.txt`. Body: `docs/audit/open-items-review-20260809.md`. Status ONLY in CURRENT-STATE.md.

+## SESSION CLOSE 2026-08-09 (part 3) -- D-143 re-IP RULED + Roosevelt-held review + advisor-label correction + Fable-5 recheck + container-elim pass SCOPED (bounded, GA-R4)
+
+- Branch dc-dc-stage5-preconditions; 5 commits pushed (e48181b 40d8a46 361769c 00e4c2c e20f8ae); voffice1 synced e20f8ae. Scan: 4 open decisions, SEC 28, next-free D-144/DOCFIX-214/BUNDLEFIX-059 (D-143 ASSIGNED this session). No separate sweep file for part 3 -- all work landed in committed durable docs (nothing transcript-only).
+- **D-143 RULED (GA-R5):** VR1 re-IP 10.12->10.13, octet-preserving; AMENDS D-115 premise, TERMINATES D-101 v4-inherit, CONSISTENT D-124/D-134. Two exchanges: "Accept evidence + adopt 10.13" (+ check#3 VR0-internal accepted, tailnet/apex live-confirmed) then C.1="B2 new role" + C.3="(i) defaults stay 10.12". C.2 octet-preserving confirmed (regularization seen-and-rejected).
+- **Roosevelt/future-held decisions review** (`docs/audit/roosevelt-held-decisions-review-20260809.md`): ~24 held items reevaluated; ~4 pull-forwards (D-137/D-142/D-136-octet/D-069-custodian) + ~3 analysis-now + 1 access-gated (D-129(iii) ACL); 18 rows genuinely stay. Frame: "next deployment"=Roosevelt, NOT the redeploy.
+- **TWO operator-previewed redeploy changes captured (Sec 0.1 + CURRENT-STATE):** eliminate the dc0/dc1 CONTAINER LAYER this rebuild (owed [ARCH], D-123 amend/new D#); a PRE-ROOSEVELT BARE-METAL test follows (specs in days) -> compresses the Group-4 horizon.
+- **CONTAINER-ELIM PASS SCOPED, execution DEFERRED to a NEW session:** `docs/audit/container-elim-pass/` (SCOPE-AND-EXECUTION-PLAN + phase-prompts). Phases 0-4, layered module system (IaC+procedure), Phase-0 target-topology operator gate, standard 3-5 sonnet + 1 fable admin/phase, final fable advisor, read-only.
+- **OWNED:** carried "fable advisor" as fact from an inherited memory convention -- it was OPUS 5 (operator confirmed), now moved to FABLE 5. Corrected across this session's records + memory #25 + a standing terminology caveat (name a model only when config is confirmed). Fable-5 recheck CONFIRMED all findings (nothing overturned).
+- Gates: repo-lint 0-fail (1 legacy warn); gauntlet ALL GREEN (103, unchanged -- docs-only since); ledger-scan reconciled.
+- **NEXT:** run the container-elim pass in a fresh session (start-prompt provided); then dc0 checkpoint wrap-gates -> teardown (build R7 revocation) -> 10.13 redeploy. Status ONLY in CURRENT-STATE.md.
