The two dated log sections had never been split, so every one of their 29 entries sat inline and the startup index had grown to 372 lines — which is the cost the two-tier scheme exists to remove, paid on every session that reads the file. 27 entries were over threshold. All 29 now have a detail file under persistent-memory.d/ and a one-line index entry that routes rather than restates. Index: 372 -> 93 lines. No archival. The soft cap fired, but every entry in this repo is dated 2026-09-21 or later, so the under-14-days guard held all of them back — and the split alone took the index well under the target without moving anything out of the active file. The in-flight section is rewritten for the post-release state: nothing is in flight, no gate is outstanding, and the next unit is explicitly recorded as the operator's undecided call rather than as a plan. The session's recommendation (U4, on three grounds) is written down so it does not have to be re-derived, alongside the two alternatives and why they are alternatives. Two dated predictions are carried forward with their dates and their instruments: the U5 adoption re-measure on 2026-09-29, which already reads 3 of 24 announced and 2 with a why from peers told nothing, and the .forever re-count a fortnight AFTER U4 lands, which is U4's own success criterion and is destroyed by running it early.

The U2 seam review earned its place, and how
2026-09-21 · booth
The U2 seam review earned its place, and the record should
say how. Nine findings against the real booth.asks / booth.items /
booth.inline surfaces, two of which changed scope or behaviour: inline.py
was missing from touches entirely (its place() indexes asks by
subscript, which a frozen dataclass refuses — nothing else in the service
does that), and the partial-answer inconsistency above. The cold
/heid-contract-review pass is artifact-only by design and structurally
cannot see a sibling module, so neither it nor a same-model self-review would
have found either. Two more surfaced later and are worth the same note: a
SECOND subscript in inline.place the seam review undercounted, and a
regression in my own legacy importer that a retargeted test caught — a
malformed sidecar that renders ⚠ broken today would have silently vanished
on migration.
