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 .forever diagnosis is a falsifiable prediction
2026-09-21 · booth
The .forever diagnosis is a stated, falsifiable
prediction. U4 (derived lifetime) predicts the kept-rate falls to the
genuinely-durable booths. Re-measured today: 14 of 25 booths kept (56%),
against the 54% the IA doc recorded. Re-count a fortnight after U4 lands.
If it does not move, the diagnosis was wrong and the boolean was doing
something else. Tracked in the IA doc's Booth section and by this entry.
