Resolves #19.

Formalizes the v2.6 self-review heuristic — the failure mode that git diff-only review structurally cannot catch, because the defect is an absence on the destination side. The three v2.6 instances the issue documents:

What changed (issue placement option c — both)

Both edits land in starter-kit/SESSION_RUNNER.md:

  1. Learning v2.3 content release: 6 upstream candidates from rad-con SESSION_RUNNER audit (review requested) #7 "Cross-reference completeness at self-review" appended to the ## Learnings (added by sessions) table (append-only, the authoritative statement).
  2. One-line hook in §3F (Commit) — alongside the existing debug-instrumentation removal gate — as the workflow trigger, citing Learning v2.3 content release: 6 upstream candidates from rad-con SESSION_RUNNER audit (review requested) #7.

Reconciliation with the issue (a cross-reference fix in itself)

Option (a) suggested a Learning row in ITERATIVE_METHODOLOGY.md §Knowledge Accumulation. On inspection that section only describes the four accumulation mechanisms, and §Session Learnings is a per-session close-out template inside a fenced block — neither holds named-Learning rows. The actual canonical Learnings table is in SESSION_RUNNER.md, and Phase 3C explicitly routes canonical-repo framework learnings there. So both edits go to SESSION_RUNNER.md (one file, low blast radius).

Fittingly, the issue's own citation (§Knowledge Accumulation → "sits alongside other named Learnings") did not resolve to a Learnings table — precisely the failure mode Learning #7 addresses.

Self-review (dogfooding Learning #7 on this very change)

  • The (Learning #7) reference in §3F resolves to the new row.
  • The table grew 6→7; grep confirms no current-count assertion drifted — the only count mentions are dated "What's New" deltas (README/CLAUDE.md "5 new Learnings rows", v2.3) and frozen docs/planning/* audits, all verbatim by design.
  • 0 behind upstream/main (clean single-commit PR).

Out of scope (per the issue)

The mechanized bin/check-cross-refs.py lint is deliberately not included; it can ship later as a separate PR now that the Learning exists.

Update (2026-06-19): v2.7.2 combined release note appended

A second commit (1cd93cb) adds the v2.7.2 changelog so issues #16/#17/#19 are recorded in the version history — PRs #29/#30/#31 ship no version notes of their own. This makes #31 the last-to-merge of the four.

Merge order / dependency. v2.7.2 builds on v2.7.1 (PR #28, issue #15), so merge #28 first, then #29 and #30 (either order), then #31 last. Because #28 and #31 both touch the CLAUDE.md version line + changelog anchor and the README What's-New anchor, expect a trivial 3-hunk add/add conflict at #31's merge — resolve by keeping both the v2.7.1 and v2.7.2 entries and setting the version line to v2.7.2. (#29/#30 touch neither file, so they never conflict.) The "single-commit / 0-behind" line in the self-review above describes the original Learning #7 commit only.

…J5HST#7 + Phase 3F hook — issue KJ5HST#19

The v2.6 cycle produced three instances of one self-review failure mode
that git-diff-only review cannot catch — the defect is an *absence* on
the destination side:
  - "24 failure modes" stale-by-one after FM KJ5HST#25 appended on a sibling file
  - /diagnose and /grill-with-docs index rows understated their citation sites
  - /init aspirational citation: index claimed a destination that didn't cite back

Formalize the heuristic (issue KJ5HST#19, placement option c — both an
authoritative Learning row and a workflow hook):

  - Learning KJ5HST#7 "Cross-reference completeness at self-review" appended to
    the canonical "Learnings (added by sessions)" table (append-only).
  - One-line trigger in Phase 3F (Commit), alongside the existing
    debug-instrumentation removal gate, citing Learning KJ5HST#7.

Reconciliation with the issue: option (a) named
ITERATIVE_METHODOLOGY.md §Knowledge Accumulation, but that section only
*describes* the four accumulation mechanisms and §Session Learnings is a
per-session close-out template — neither holds named-Learning rows. The
actual canonical Learnings table is in SESSION_RUNNER.md, and Phase 3C
routes canonical-repo framework learnings there. Both edits therefore
land in SESSION_RUNNER.md (one file).

Self-reviewed with the discipline it documents: the "(Learning KJ5HST#7)"
reference resolves to the new row; growing the table 6->7 drifts no
current-count claim (the only count mentions are dated changelog deltas
and frozen docs/planning audits, verbatim by design).

Adds the v2.7.2 changelog (CLAUDE.md Versioning bullet + README "What's
New") covering the three PR-14-review fixes that ship without their own
version notes: KJ5HST#16 (PR KJ5HST#29, agent-level memory), KJ5HST#17 (PR KJ5HST#30, workstream
skill-citation convention), and KJ5HST#19 (PR KJ5HST#31, cross-reference completeness
Learning KJ5HST#7). Bumps the version line v2.7 -> v2.7.2.

Merge-order dependency: this note builds on v2.7.1 (PR KJ5HST#28, issue KJ5HST#15),
so KJ5HST#28 must merge first. The CLAUDE.md version line + changelog anchor
and the README What's-New anchor will need a trivial resolution against
KJ5HST#28 at merge time (keep both the v2.7.1 and v2.7.2 entries; version line
= v2.7.2).

…adox + taxonomy + phased execution)

Planning-session deliverable for B1 (queued 2026-06-19). Evidence-based:
grep inventory of SYNC_FILES/COLUMNS usage, the RS/CONTEXT_TEMPLATE
cross-reference edges, and the README Option A/B scope discrepancy.

Key finding beyond the queued notes: the link-topology paradox — cross-refs
spanning the starter-kit/<->framework boundary cannot be verbatim-correct in
both the canonical-repo and adopter layouts. Quantifies rewrite cost per
placement; recommends RS+CONTEXT_TEMPLATE at adopter root (leaves the
must-stay-byte-identical SESSION_RUNNER.md untouched). Phases B1 into
1 planning + 3 implementation sessions; flags the SESSION_RUNNER.md:62
../docs/methodology bug and the PR KJ5HST#31 Learning-KJ5HST#7 numbering collision.

Fork-only planning doc (origin/main); B1 execution branches come clean from
upstream/main. Not implemented.

Merged into main via merge commit aa196f9 (pushed directly, since this PR conflicted with #28 once it landed — as the PR description anticipated).

Resolved exactly as documented here: the v2.7.1 (#28) and v2.7.2 changelog/What's-New entries were unioned (both kept), and the version line set to v2.7.2. The Learning #7 row + Phase 3F hook in SESSION_RUNNER.md auto-merged cleanly. Commits 1dc9bf6 and 8a41a88 are in main.

GitHub doesn't auto-mark a conflict-resolved manual merge as "Merged," so closing explicitly. Issue #19 is closed. Thanks @rmsharp.

…L-11/BL-12 raised

Ledger entry, S22 receipt completed (status: pending -> complete), BL-10
retired to the Completed table, and two follow-ons filed.

BL-11: unreachable non-Learning referents (the four Learnings Source rows,
HOW_TO_USE.md's 'anti-pattern KJ5HST#31 in the original methodology', and BL-5 /
Layer N tokens inside the adopter-installed dashboard). Gated on a maintainer
decision, since the Learnings table is append-only and those rows are merged.

BL-12: two verified defects found in the sweep but outside BL-10's scope --
RESEARCH_DOCUMENTATION_WORKSTREAM.md's '19 anti-patterns' where the list has 20
(self-contradicted at :306 in the same file), and the Learnings table's absent
shape coverage, which upstream's own S5 receipt mutation-proved.

…ed 9/10

The trim itself landed in 17753d9 as a standalone commit; this finalizes the
receipt afterwards, which is the whole point — a frozen proof reads all three
artifacts from the trim commit, so this edit is invisible to it. Result:
docs/archive/HANDOFFS-through-2026-08-15.md.verify.sh is the first HANDOFFS
losslessness proof in this repo that passes.

Also here: Framework Learning KJ5HST#31 (30 rows, KJ5HST#14 still reserved) and BL-40,
both from the same finding — the tool's default cut retained 2 receipts and
silently made five of bin/tests.sh Test 34's assertions vacuous, because
Test 34 reads its mutation anchors as ids[1]/ids[2] of the live ledger. The
suite went 235/1 -> 229/6 and is back to 235/1 at --cut 3. Avoided, not fixed.

CARVE-OUT BREACH, RECORDED: the claim declared zero distributed files, and
Phase 3C's only home is starter-kit/FRAMEWORK_LEARNINGS.md, which is
distributed. Learning kept — skipping a mandatory close-out step to protect a
self-imposed scope note is the wrong trade, and the edit is append-only and
local, so no operator gate is involved. The claim should have pre-declared it,
as S93's did. Verified: 26 manifest rows, 6 files changed, one distributed.

No outward-facing action: no PR, no push, no issue, no comment, no tag.

…ated skip

Option (b) of BL-40, canonical-only: bin/tests.sh is not in _manifest.py's 26
SOURCE rows, so no adopter receives this. Option (a) -- a retained-records floor
in the distributed trimmer -- stays declined; the trimmer has no business
knowing a test's fixture requirements.

handoff_anchors returns "<count> <A1> <A2>" and cannot raise. anchor_disposition
routes that count to MALFORMED / EMPTY / SHORT / ANCHORED, non-numeric arm FIRST
so a garbled count cannot reach the permissive default. The SHORT arm emits six
SKIP rows naming each unbuildable assertion and why; skip() counts separately
from pass(), and the summary line carries the total -- routing an unbuildable
assertion to pass() was the real hazard and nothing a reader watches would move.

RED first against COPIED fixtures, never the live ledger: the pre-change body
replayed at 1/2/3/4 receipts gave 2 passed/5 failed below the floor and 8/0 at
or above it; after, 11/0/6 and 17/0/0. Zero receipts still FAILS -- corruption
is not rotation.

BL-40 and Learning KJ5HST#31 both said FIVE assertions stopped asserting. Six did; the
sixth sat in a failed guard's then-branch and emitted no row at all. The pass
delta (-6) never matched the failure delta (+5) and nobody subtracted. That
correction is Learning KJ5HST#33.

9-mutant round, 9/9 killed, unmutated control green, each mutant verified to
apply first. Suite 247/1/0, diffed row-for-row against a 236-row baseline: zero
rows lost. Sole failure is Test 9's pre-existing --source=github 404, by name.

…ification

THE DELIVERABLE: docs/planning/read-cap-premise-correction-plan.md. A planning
session -- nothing implemented, no numeral changed, no distributed file touched
(FM KJ5HST#18/KJ5HST#19). Recommends A -> B -> C as three separate sessions and DECLINES the
one-pass fix.

THREE DEFECTS IN ONE DISTRIBUTED CONSTANT, separated because their remedies and
risks differ. READ_CAP_LINES = 2000: its stated behaviour is false ("no error and
no missing-data marker"), its unit is wrong (the cap is ~25,000 TOKENS), and its
value is ~2.9x too permissive at this repo's ledger density.

THE FINDING THAT DECIDED THE PLAN'S SHAPE, AND NO GREP FOR 2000 REACHES IT.
LINE_FIRE_BELOW = 15 and LINE_STOP_ABOVE = 30 are denominated in RECORDS OF
HEADROOM TO THE CAP. Run through the trimmer's own evaluate_trigger arithmetic at
both ledgers' real baseline commits: at a corrected cap max possible headroom falls
to 12 and 22 records against a >30 stop, so stops() = byte_ok and line_ok can never
return true. AND stops() HAS EXACTLY ONE CALLER: choose_cut (:876-881) loops the
retention count downward and `return 1` when nothing satisfies it -- so the next
--write at every adopter would RETAIN ONE RECORD and archive the rest. S94 measured
a cut to TWO taking bin/tests.sh from 235/1 to 229/6 (Learning KJ5HST#31); S96 corrected
that to six assertions, not five (Learning KJ5HST#33). EVERY EXISTING TEST STAYS GREEN,
because nothing evaluates the rate rule at a corrected cap. A session that "just
fixes the number" ships that to every adopter.

THE STRUCTURAL RESULT. DEFAULT_BUDGET_BYTES = 64*1024 = 65,536 B sits INSIDE the
measured one-read band of 60,475-66,425 B. The framework already ships a guard on
the right axis at very nearly the right value; the line cap is a redundant second
guard on the wrong axis, firing ~3x late. This answers S38's residual 1, which
methodology_dashboard.py:3001-3003 itself records as undecided.

THE COMMENT'S OWN CITED BASIS REFUTES IT. git show 3aee4e3^:CHANGELOG.md is 2,090
lines / 186,704 B = 2.8-3.1x the token cap, so it had been truncating since
roughly line 676-743. The constant records where the problem was NOTICED, not
where it starts.

FOUR PROBES, AND THE FOURTH FALSIFIED MY OWN FIRST DRAFT. 3,000 lines returned
whole; 101 lines / 199,700 B cut at line 10 with a loud PARTIAL-view banner naming
the next call; 2,000 lines of this repo's own ledger content cut at line 687 of
2,001. Then FRAMEWORK_LEARNINGS.md (65,520 B) returned WHOLE -- so the 2.419
B/token ratio does not transfer across content types (measured range 2.42-2.66),
and a table asserting "two governed files already truncate" was withdrawn before
it shipped. The plan therefore prescribes the METHOD, never a new numeral.

THE INVENTORY CAUGHT THE PLAN ITSELF. Six blind search angles plus two adversarial
critics, 301 sites across 30 files; every reported citation re-read and machine-
verified before use (a subagent's citation is a claim until the line is read). A
first draft written from one reader's grep named 19 sites; the completed sweep
found live sites in TEN FURTHER FILES -- three of them DISTRIBUTED SEEDS, including
the two that state the false claim as doctrine in a table
(starter-kit/CHANGELOG.md:103, starter-kit/HANDOFFS.md:97) -- plus the line metric's
own raison d'etre comment at methodology_trim.py:696.

AND THOSE SEEDS CANNOT BE REPAIRED BY SYNCING. Both are SEED in bin/_manifest.py,
and bin/sync:225-230 writes a SEED only when the dest is absent, never overwriting
it afterward. A correction reaches FUTURE ADOPTERS ONLY; every already-bootstrapped
project keeps the false doctrine permanently. Same defect class as BL-46/47/48,
which is the substantive reason this batches with them rather than a scheduling
convenience.

THE SURFACE, named per SESSION_RUNNER.md's planning checklist: every DONE criterion
is demonstrated on the local suites, AND THAT SURFACE CANNOT ENFORCE THE PROPERTY
UNDER TEST. The three carriers are Python and cannot invoke the agent's Read tool;
bin/tests.sh has ZERO READ_CAP references. No test in this repository can falsify a
read-cap claim, so each phase requires Appendix A re-run in the implementing
session with its output in the receipt.

CARVE-OUT, re-derived off the SOURCE column after a first attempt hit the DEST
column and read the root ledgers as distributed: all files touched here are
canonical-only. NO ADOPTER RECEIVES ANYTHING. NO OUTWARD-FACING ACTION.

Two questions left for the operator rather than decided: whether to annotate the
design records (Sec 5.4), and ratification of A -> B -> C (Sec 7).

…cored 8/10

Phase 3D receipt in HANDOFFS.md, 12,237 B inside the 12,288 B per-record budget --
reached in seven passes, each RUN against bin/check-handoff rather than estimated,
every cut taken from the trailing prose where the checker says to cut.

DELIVERABLE (c2bc56f): docs/planning/read-cap-premise-correction-plan.md, DRAFT
awaiting ratification. Plus the forced close-out trim (9038e40) and BL-50/BL-51.

TWO FINDINGS THIS SESSION DID NOT SET OUT TO MAKE, BOTH FROM CHECKING RATHER THAN
REASONING.

BL-50 -- the trimmer refuses a correct trim, and it is a DISTRIBUTED defect.
insert_pointer (starter-kit/methodology_trim.py:940-950) appends "\n" + block when
the front matter does not already end "\n\n"; L2's confinement proof (:582-586)
removes only `block` and never that injected newline, so the reversal cannot
restore the original bytes and the run dies reporting a losslessness failure THAT
IS AN ARTIFACT OF ITS OWN INSERTION. Reproduced in isolation -- first difference at
char 6126, the tool's own number -- rather than forced past with --force. Reachable
because S109's compaction removed the trailing pointer blocks that used to end
"\n\n". Worked around with a one-byte fork-side data edit; NOT with a standalone
`---`, which would trip [ZONE_UNCLASSIFIED], BL-46's exact failure.

BL-51 -- choose_cut is what makes the read-cap correction dangerous. stops() has
exactly one caller, and choose_cut (:876-881) falls through to `return 1` when
nothing satisfies it. So correcting READ_CAP_LINES alone would make every adopter's
next --write retain ONE record. S94 measured a cut to TWO taking the suite from
235/1 to 229/6 (Learning KJ5HST#31). Every existing test stays green.

METHOD NOTES WORTH MORE THAN EITHER FINDING. A ratio measured on one content type
does not transfer to another (2.419 B/token from ledger content vs >=2.62 from
prose), and probe D killed a self-consistent table this session had already
drafted. A --check IS NOT A DRY RUN: it returns at :1698, before the L1/L2/L3
machinery, so it reports a green trigger for a trim that will refuse. And a
subagent's citation is a claim -- 301 reported sites, every one re-read and
verified against the file before use.

PHASE 3C NOT DISCHARGED, structurally rather than skipped:
starter-kit/FRAMEWORK_LEARNINGS.md is 16 B from its ceiling (BL-45) and no
budget-conforming row fits. TWO LEARNINGS ARE EARNED AND OWED, recorded in the
receipt's gotchas.

VERIFICATION. Control 287 rows, 286 passed / 1 failed / 0 skipped; after the trim
287 rows, 286 / 1 / 0. Row-for-row, both populations asserted non-empty: ZERO
status flips, ZERO skipped; the five differing rows each carry a derived count the
trim legitimately moved. Sole failure both sides by name: `github source dry-run
failed`, Test 9's standing 404. Trim losslessness three ways including an
INDEPENDENT inverter modelling the declared link-rebase transform (Learning KJ5HST#37):
6 records, 6 byte-identical, 0 unexplained, none in both files. check-handoff OK;
--all OK (4); check-links OK (88/22); check-learnings OK (37); trim --check silent;
context_budget.py no file over a ceiling, bare exit 1 = WARN from the growth run
alone (64 vs 10), ceiling-independent; BACKLOG-DETAIL.md.verify.sh OK (C1-C5).

FM KJ5HST#28 GATE, MEASURED AFTER THE LAST WRITE. HANDOFFS.md 52,808 B (12,728 B clear),
front matter 6,362 / 7,168 B; CHANGELOG.md 59,542 B before the close-out entry;
FRAMEWORK_LEARNINGS.md 65,520 B (16 B free); BACKLOG.md 30,458 B. main is 61 ahead
of origin/main; nothing pushed. The receipt deliberately does NOT state its own
file's size -- a file cannot, without changing it (Learning KJ5HST#26); my first attempt
was stale by 6 B as I wrote it.

CARVE-OUT re-derived by importing DISTRIBUTION and reading the SOURCE column, after
a first attempt grepped the bare filename and hit the DEST half of
("starter-kit/HANDOFFS.md", "HANDOFFS.md", SEED). Nothing this session touched is a
manifest source. NO ADOPTER RECEIVES ANYTHING. NO OUTWARD-FACING ACTION.

OPEN FOR THE OPERATOR: ratify or reject the plan's A -> B -> C (Sec 7), and answer
Sec 5.4 (annotate the design records, or leave them?). BL-45 still blocks Phase 3C
for the next session too.

…lines, not records

From the BL-82 measurement: git's merge=union kept real ledger entries whole
but fused two real receipts into one block with two session: lines, exit 0,
because receipts share their fence lines. Countermeasure: merge two real
records from the ledger's history and run its checker; exit 0 is not
"whole". 1,142 B.

D3 discharged by explicit refusal: KJ5HST#31, KJ5HST#33, KJ5HST#41, KJ5HST#58 and KJ5HST#82 considered;
none meets (a), (b) or (c). check-learnings: 76 rows, 15..90, 0 over budget.

…earning KJ5HST#96

docs/planning/BACKLOG.md 58,727 -> 35,296 B, 21,454 B under the 56,750 B
one-read budget it was 1,977 B over. Dashboard risk HIGH -> MEDIUM, High+ count
1 -> 0, health 76/100 unchanged. No outward action was taken and none was asked
for: nothing pushed, no branch touched, KJ5HST#83-KJ5HST#87 exactly as Phase 0 found them.

Phase 3A -- S222's handoff scored 9/10. Its "read the dry run's shard name rather
than predicting it" was the trap S221 fell into, and following it produced both
the right answer and a diagnostic nobody had seen (CUT_STRADDLES_DAY). Its byte
figure for the backlog became this session's deliverable and its acceptance
criterion, and both re-measured exactly. Missing: nothing about the fixture
coupling that was this session's largest hazard. Wrong: "CHANGELOG.md IS ~155 KB"
against 161,678 B measured, ~7 KB low, hedged and harmless.

Phase 3B -- self-assessed 9/10. The proof shape was decided from measurement, not
from the claim's recorded worry, whose premise turned out false and is stated
rather than dropped. Every referrer was enumerated before editing, which found the
C4 coupling. All five checks proved killable, including redoing an invalid
mutation of my own. The reduction was made durable by moving the editing rule.
Self-caught slips: a [[wiki]] link in the receipt stub, a grep -c against indented
rows, a git checkout -- that invalidated one mutation run. Operator corrections to
the work: 0. One instruction added (task picker at Phase 0), applied same session.

Phase 3C -- fork Learning KJ5HST#96 appended (1,497 B; 82 rows, contiguous 15..96). D3's
retirement is owed and is REFUSED with the rows named and the criterion tested
against each -- and this is the THIRD CONSECUTIVE REFUSAL (S221, S222, S223),
flagged here rather than left to be noticed. KJ5HST#24: criterion (a) tested, not
assumed -- Test 29 was rewired to read live + archives at S87, but that mechanizes
one instance, not the rule; this session enumerated consumers by hand and found
one no test covers, which is KJ5HST#96. KJ5HST#26: its example is now falsified for this very
file, but a stale example is never a ground and its method is ungated. KJ5HST#31, KJ5HST#41,
KJ5HST#15, KJ5HST#78, KJ5HST#58, KJ5HST#85 each considered with its reason. No later row states any at
least as generally; every row's artifact exists.

Phase 3E -- gate citation from a --no-local clone of 27b1c33: quality_ratchet
11/11 pass - 0 fail - 0 unmeasured - results 10575dac7361 - manifest
01a4ae7aa511, exit 0, identical to Phase 0's at 73157d0. bin/tests.sh 343 passed /
0 failed / 6 skipped three times. check-handoff and --all OK; the receipt was
refused four times on the 12,288 B per-record budget and row KJ5HST#96 three times on
the 1,500 B row budget -- both cut shorter rather than raised.

Two findings recorded, not fixed (FM KJ5HST#17): the replaced heading named 19 of the 33
