Session captured: the FV outbound-NAT root cause and its diagnostic signature, the fv-ml1 dead man's switch, fleet identity/group/path conventions and the root:docker normalization, nh3-dev's ts-input reachability fix, ESPHome modernisation and the kb KB-search tool, and the Hermes bearer rotation release. Six new detail files. Tried-and-abandoned gains three: probing OPNsense endpoints by POSTing at them (which rebooted the FV firewall), advertising a /32 from nh3-dev, and the nh3-scale remote-site masquerade rules that fired but were not the fix. Housekeeping: 8 Recent-decisions entries archived to archival-memory.md, and 21 oversized inline entries split into detail files per the two-tier rule -- they had been sitting fully inline in the index, which is what the split exists to prevent. Two pointers to a detail file archived this run were repointed at archival-memory.md. The index is 389 lines, still over the ~300 soft cap. The archival guards stop it there: only 4 further entries are old enough to move and every one carries an open deferred-work pointer. An over-cap file that keeps live decisions beats a scannable one that lost a deferred call.

[2026-09-10] AN AUTHOR-VOICE ADAPTER TRANSFERS SUBJECT MATTER, NOT JUST STYLE — and that was invisible to my own test set.
⚠⚠ AN AUTHOR-VOICE ADAPTER TRANSFERS SUBJECT MATTER, NOT JUST STYLE — and that was invisible to my own test set. Operator prompt: "Mr. Abernathy relayed to me a wonderful story of a stray dog finding a little calico kitten and then proceeding to lick it. He said "". At 1.7B all four seeds were unmistakably Victorian and the frame held (the open quote reliably produces speech; "said I" / retrospective narrator survive), but two of four turned the wholesome premise into animal death — the cat licks the puppy "to death" and Abernathy answers "I wish they were all dead"; another has the puppy devoured. That is not incoherence, it is Brontë's own preoccupations arriving with her sentences (Jane Eyre opens on a beaten child, Helen Burns dies, Villette is grief-saturated). ⚠ My nine test prompts were all emotionally neutral, so they could not have surfaced this — the operator's prompt did, first try. Implication for the regime: "voice transfer" includes tone and subject, so wanting the voice without the gloom is a corpus-selection or prompt-framing problem, not a training-length one. Also observed: one seed closed its anecdote and emitted CHAPTER XIX. THE CHILD'S CLOSET. — it learned book structure unprompted. Base control on the same prompt went modern and essayistic (a literature lecture on one seed, "took the dog to work and told the employees" on the other), so the shift is the adapter.
