 4. **Probe integrity:** clean context, repo-only, independent, no shared
    scratchpad; a question all three probes fail the same way weighs double
    (repo defect, not agent error).
+5. **Phase-4 hold, order, and delivery format (operator, 2026-07-18,
+   post-Phase-3 review):** Phase 4 is HELD until the operator communicates
+   the G11 result (personal section-10 run + top-to-bottom read; sign or
+   dispute in the document). When it opens, GA-R drafts are delivered ONE
+   PER EXCHANGE (GA-R5 discipline) in this order: GA-R3, GA-R5, GA-R1
+   (with the size-budget/rotation text and the as-built division of
+   authority), GA-R2, GA-R6, GA-R4, GA-R7, then the stage-status
+   vocabulary A/B (GA-F10). Each draft = the proposed ruling text verbatim
+   + a one-paragraph rationale + the single question the operator must
+   answer. As of this commit NO GA-R text exists and NO ruling from this
+   session is unrecorded: every operator directive received so far is in
+   this register (Phase-1 amendments `e999b03`; Phase-2 acceptance +
+   drafting directives `c49da79`; Phase-3 acceptance + GA-F02 scope
+   `e57f321`; this item).
