fix(manifest): fold in both cross-frontier panels — and a live hole in v0.2.2
Two four-arm artifact-only rounds landed together: the contract paraphrase (against the pre-seam-review capture) and the code-vs-contract conformance review (against the amended one), correctly firewalled from each other. The conformance round found ZERO drift in the strict sense — the code is a clause-for-clause implementation of the contract — and the weight of both rounds landed one layer down, in what green tests structurally cannot report. Full triage in persistent-memory.d/. A LIVE HOLE IN RELEASED CODE, FOUND ON THE SIBLING MODULE v0.2.2 adopted the RecursionError finding from the bug-hunt round and closed half of it: `_hydrate_safe` guards hydration, but `json.loads` runs above it in `_read_raw`, whose catch list covers neither RecursionError nor MemoryError. A 400 KB file of nothing but brackets in any ONE booth therefore still returned 500 for `/` and `/healthz` across every booth on the service. Confirmed by running it before believing it. Both modules now bound the read by `stat` before touching the bytes and catch both classes anyway, so raising a bound later cannot quietly re-open the hole. The strict half of the marks asymmetry refuses everything the lenient half tolerates, or a file that reads as "no marks" gets replaced by a write that believed it. THE WHY-WIPE `booth new x --why "..."` then `booth add x out/*.png` erased the sentence the first command existed to record. Omitted flags meant empty strings and empty strings overwrote. Two arms predicted it from the contract's wording alone; every test here passed --why on both calls and so could not see it. Omitted now means unchanged and an explicit --why "" still clears — the shell carries the distinction by leaving the variable UNSET, not empty. --title WAS WRITE-ONLY Stored, flag-surfaced, rendered nowhere. 4/4, and independently top-ranked by every arm of the paraphrase round. It lands on the booth page heading with the directory name beside it, because the directory name is the identity the operator navigates by and refers to positionally. THREE TESTS THAT COULD NOT FAIL - test_the_write_is_atomic asserted no *.tmp survived, which a plain write_text passes. It asserts the inode changes now. (The first replacement was ALSO vacuous — it spied on os.open, which Path.write_text reaches through io.open in C and never touches. Recorded in the test, because writing a second vacuous test while fixing the first is exactly the failure this round is about.) - The INV-3 preservation test passed against an implementation that regenerated `created` every time, because _now() is whole-second resolution and back-to-back writes share a stamp. Seeded from 2019 now. - test_announcing_is_activity passed whether or not _newest_mtime counted the manifest, because writing it bumps the directory mtime either way. The directory's clock is put back, leaving the file as the only thing that can keep the booth alive. ALSO - The title fallback skipped the normalizer the explicit value gets; a directory name may legally carry a newline and run to 255 bytes. - Every writer derived the same .booth.json.tmp. Marks are protected from that by their flock; the manifest has none, so uniqueness stands in. - test_stdlib_only was blind to relative imports in all four modules. - INV-1 had no guard at all; INV-5 named two different promises; the negative render states were asserted on the index only. Contract amended throughout: the 4 GB case is a stat-checked bound rather than a return constraint, every field of an error-carrying record has a stated value, INV-1 no longer contradicts INV-3, repo-wide rules are named in words instead of by a colliding number, and touches admits the macro partial the implementation added. 329 tests. |

docs(u5): name the verbatim-booth boundary as U3's, not a gap
Five live booths serve the author's HTML raw and the Booth owns no header there to put a provenance line into — it reaches those pages through six regexes injected into arbitrary markup, which is the defect U3 exists to fix. Their index cards carry provenance like everything else. Written down so the boundary reads as a boundary rather than as something this unit forgot. Verified on pewpew-ui-brief. |

docs(u5): state what the contract deliberately leaves out
The out-of-scope block is load-bearing for the cross-frontier review gates — without negative constraints their signal-to-noise drops sharply, and both /heid-code-review and /heid-bug-hunt refuse to fire without one. Written for the reviewer, but it is the same list the roadmap gate produced: the what-landed feed is parked for v1.1, nothing enforces that a booth must announce itself (rsync is a documented path and never runs the CLI), and the manifest describes rather than decides — U4 owns lifetime. |

docs(u5): contract for self-announcing booths, plus its seam review
Blast-radius pass first (graphify explain list_booths + grep over every mkdir and every dotfile skip), then the contract, then a caller-side seam review against the real sibling module surfaces. The seam review earned its place again: the contract asserted that the upload path's filename dedupe set must gain MANIFEST_FILE or an uploaded file could collide with the manifest. safe_upload_name strips leading dots, so that collision is unreachable — and the UPLOAD_MARKER entry already sitting in that set has never been able to matter either. A scope item the contract reasoned its way into and the sibling refutes. Operator calls settled 2026-09-22: flags on the existing new/add verbs rather than a second announce verb; unannounced booths get a quiet marker rather than nothing; U5 adds provenance only and does not add a second index ordering keyed on announcement time (parked for v1.1). Cold contract panel dispatched to heid before this landed; its findings fold in before any code ships. |

fix(marks): a write over a damaged mark file was wiping the booth's judgment
Three defects and a missing test, all surfaced by the cross-frontier contract panel dispatched before implementation and triaged after it (heid, four arms, artifact-only, thread 01M33VSNFER4N1554G0Y0VC9C8). v0.2.0 was already tagged and announced to fifteen handles when they landed, which is the argument for running the gate at all. DATA LOSS. `marks_for` is deliberately lenient — an unparseable `.marks.json` reads as "no marks" so a review page still loads. The write path inherited that leniency through the same reader, so one flag click appended a single entry to an empty list and atomically replaced the file: every mark in the booth gone, silently, from a click. Reproduced first, then fixed. The fix is an asymmetry, not a retreat from leniency. Reads stay lenient; writes go strict through `_read_raw_strict`, which distinguishes bytes-present-but- unreadable from absent and valid-but-empty, and raises `MarksCorrupt`. The damaged bytes are left on disk. Routes answer 409 rather than 500 — the service is fine and the request was well-formed, the state on disk is not — and the body says what to do, because the alternative the operator reaches for otherwise is deleting the file, which is the thing being protected. The CLI says it in one line instead of a traceback. A PICK COULD NOT TARGET AN ITEM. `Mark.target` carried one, `marks_for_target` retrieved by it, and the panel already rendered "on <item>" — but `declare_pick` had no parameter for it, so no session could produce one. A question about one artifact is the whole point of the 2026-09-09 inline-placement ruling; the door was simply missing. THE IMPORTER STRANDED AN ANSWER. A stem already present as a mark was skipped wholesale. If a session had re-declared that stem through marks while the operator's choice sat in the legacy sidecar, that choice was lost permanently — reads are forbidden from looking at sidecars. The declaration is still skipped (idempotence holds) but a legacy answer is now adopted when the existing mark is an unanswered pick, and an answer made through marks is never overwritten. INV-3 NAMED A SURFACE NOTHING TESTED. All four arms converged on it: the rule protects gallery tile, zoom view and doc view; the falsifiable check covered one. The doc view was implemented and untested, so shipping it unmarked would have passed. Three tests now, one per surface. The contract carries the full triage, including two findings accepted and NOT closed: INV-2's and INV-5's checks comply in letter — openness can be re-derived without spelling the grepped pattern, and importlib inside a function defeats the AST walk. Both describe a future careless change, and the honest statement is that these checks raise the cost of drifting rather than making it impossible. Recorded rather than papered over. Also pins the three prose ambiguities the panel found, normatively and once each: what counts as open, the three distinct broken-declaration cases, and INV-6, which had named a helper that does not exist and forbidden the calls that helper must make. 253 tests. |

feat(marks): one primitive for operator judgment, so the loop stops running through chat
Five mechanisms existed to get one question next to one artifact. Three of
them were the same thing wearing different clothes, and the third of the three
had no code at all: the operator picked winners out of a 270-image set and
told the session in conversation. `sindra-finalists` is 86 items, every one
captioned, with the selection encoded in the booth's NAME.
A MARK is operator judgment attached to a target — the booth, or one item in
it, addressed by the `rel` U1 established as item identity. Three shapes:
pick — one of N options a session declared in advance (was: an ask)
note — free text the operator volunteered (had nothing)
flag — this one (had nothing)
One file per booth, one read path, one place openness is computed, one slot
beside the artifact. The storage shape is the operator's call (2026-09-21) and
follows from U4: "does this booth still owe an answer?" gets asked per booth
per sweep tick and per card per index render, so it has to be one read and not
a walk of a booth holding 270 files. Marks are also not links.md — that is an
O_APPEND content-hash log because 17 handles write it concurrently, whereas a
booth's marks see one session and one operator, so locking the common path
costs nothing.
The 2026-09-09 pick semantics are preserved by NOT rewriting them: partial
answers legal, a blank question lands in `unanswered`, `complete` false until
every question has a pick, the only refusal a submission carrying nothing.
`write_answer` split into the pure `build_answer` plus the storage that went
away with the sidecar; `normalize_ask` untouched.
Three findings worth naming, because each was caught by a gate rather than by
reading the diff again:
* The seam review found `inline.place` indexes asks by SUBSCRIPT — the only
consumer in the service that does — so a frozen dataclass breaks it, and
`inline.py` had been missing from the contract's scope entirely.
* A retargeted test found a regression in the legacy importer: a malformed
sidecar that renders "broken" today would have silently vanished on
migration. It now imports carrying its reason.
* A partially-answered pick counted as CLOSED on the index while the panel
beside it rendered it "partial" — the two disagreed about one booth. Open
is the reading U4 needs, and it is declared rather than smuggled in.
`GET /b/<n>/marks.json` is new and load-bearing: sessions on other hosts polled
`<stem>.answer.json` over HTTP, so removing the sidecar without it would have
taken that capability away. `/b/<n>/asks` 308s to `/marks`. Legacy sidecars are
imported, never deleted — four are live and unanswered.
Also records the operator's deterministic-order directive as a cross-cutting v1
invariant, in ROADMAP.md with the per-collection rule table and as CLAUDE.md
invariant 6. The Booth's job is comparison; an order that moves between renders
does not crash, it misfiles the judgment.
242 tests. No version bump — a release tier for this is the operator's call.

feat(items): one item record, so an annotation survives the zoom
The operator reported that zoomed-in images lose their annotations. That was
never a rendering bug. Three functions independently walked a booth and derived
overlapping subsets of the same facts -- build_gallery (kind, caption, blur,
doc), booth_view_file (kind, doc, image ring) and list_booths (kind counts,
cover) -- and the zoom route's subset was the smallest. Caption resolution lived
inside build_gallery's loop and nowhere else, so there was no code path by which
a caption could reach the zoom template. It was never sent.
booth/items.py is now the one truth: booth_items() returns the full record --
rel, kind, section, caption, blur, doc kind, size -- and the gallery, the zoom
view, the doc view and the index all read it. Patching view.html would have
fixed the symptom for images and left the next surface starting from the same
missing truth.
Two things fall out of the consolidation:
- the index and the booth page now agree on what an item IS. list_booths
counted every non-dot file, so an A/B pair with two caption sidecars read
as 4 items on the index and showed 2 tiles when you opened it.
- "section" (the item's subfolder) is computed and carried but nothing renders
it yet. That is deliberate: it is U7's whole input, and shipping the field
now makes U7 a template change rather than a resolver change.
Doc bodies are NOT rendered by the resolver -- the index touches every booth on
every page load, and rendering every markdown file in every booth would be the
price of that convenience. render_doc_body is a separate step for the one
surface that inlines them; an invariant test monkeypatches it to raise and
loads the index.
Verified beyond the suite, because this repo has shipped two dead controls that
every test passed: the caption was measured in a real browser at 1280x41 px,
visible, with elementFromPoint at its centre returning the caption itself.
layout-probe reports all controls hittable across index, gallery, zoom and doc.
192 tests pass (173 before, 19 new).

docs: the information architecture, and a v1 target to gate it against
The Booth was built as a file-shuttle on a whim and turned into the fleet's operator-review surface without anyone deciding that. This is the decision, written down, with the measurement that forced it. The defect behind every bolt-on: one lifetime and one shape serving five jobs. Five separate mechanisms exist to put one question next to one artifact. Numbers that drove the model, taken against the live service: - 211 link rows, 145 (69%) pointing at booths that no longer exist - 22 rows that are the same bench re-posted (talk 5x, peedlar 4x) - 13 of 24 booths (54%) on the .forever escape hatch - 270 images rendered as one flat wall, subfolders discarded at render - 5 commits in one day to ship the asks primitive Four nouns replace the accretion: booth (derived lifetime), item (one record), mark (pick/note/flag -- asks, comments and votes were always one thing), and bench (a registry, not an append log). v1 is seven capabilities, each closing a measured defect. Compare mode is the best idea in the set and is parked anyway, because it is the only one that is a new capability rather than a fix. |
