vh 3eab4da379 memory: the sixth instrument error, and the one that consumed an operator approval
Corrects my own framing from earlier today. I told the operator D-0010's /clear
"cost nothing by luck of the delivery mechanism". svos-dev verified the code:
bifrost.py:1322 prefixes every relayed string with the card id, so a slash
command never begins the line. pane_send STRUCTURALLY cannot execute a harness
command in a target pane -- a property, not luck.

Which makes the card worse than a misroute. It promised "type /clear into
terminal_2 and clear booth-dev's context"; that effect was never achievable at
all. The executed event then recorded {"sent": true} -- true about the bytes,
false about the effect. Three defects in one approved action, and only the
first was visible.

Recorded because it is the sharpest instance of the day's pattern and the only
one that cost something outside an agent's triage time: it consumed an OPERATOR
APPROVAL. Vuong approved an action believing it would take effect and the
system told him it had.

General form worth carrying beyond SVOS: {"sent": true} is a claim about
transmission, never about effect. Any receipt that cannot distinguish the two
will eventually report success for something that did not happen.
