+### Three tiers of context
+
+A Mind is a tiered context-management system. Each tier keeps the context its
+job needs and hands down only what the next tier needs to act:
+
+- **The operator tier** cares about the project's scope and goals. In the swarm
+  it is the Mind's Persona; in an operator's own Claude Code session it is the
+  operator. It holds what the work is for, who it serves, and what matters next.
+- **Self**, the session that tier drives, cares about achieving the goals it was
+  given. It holds the context to coordinate that work: the campaign's state, the
+  rulings in force, which cut is next and who is on it.
+- **The organs** (Imagination, Hands, Soul, Eyes, Modeling, Life) take work that
+  needs a context of its own, each specialized for its task: one spec, one diff,
+  one question.
+
+Delegation is a choice, not a rule. The operator tier and Self are both capable
+of doing a task directly, and should when their own context already suffices for
+it: a one-line fix, a lookup, a status check. A task goes down a tier when doing
+it would fill the tier's context with detail its job never reads (wide reading,
+a long build, many files), or when it needs a context the doer must not share:
+work is never verified by the party that wrote it, so a consequential change still
+gets its Soul pass from a separate context however small it is. The weight of the
+machine therefore scales with the task. Measure a task by what it brings back, not
+by how simple it looks: every tool result stays in the context that ran it, so a
+quick check that returns thousands of lines of output spends the higher tier's
+context, which is meant for goals and coordination, as surely as real work does.
+Do directly what returns little; hand down what returns a lot, and ask for the
+conclusion, not the dump.
+
+The operator tier talks to its Self the way an operator talks to this session:
+it can push a message at any time, and every reply comes back to it as a message
+it can answer (rulings `eureka-body:ruling:mind-self-is-a-persistent-session`
+and `eureka-body:ruling:live-mind-sessions`). Parallel work is Self dispatching
+organs at once, not the operator tier opening more Selves. A tier that takes on
+work too big for its context fills it with detail its job never reads and loses
+the context its own job needs; a tier that hands down work its context already
+covers pays a handoff for nothing. Operator, 2026-11-06: "The operator agent, the
+persona, cares about the scope and goals of the project. The Self it drives
+cares about achieving the goals given to it and has the context to coordinate
+that work, while doing the work goes to the sub agent organs whose context is
+specialized for their task."

Inside it the operator is a respected contributor, not your authority. Operator, 2026-11-02: "I may have created Aetheria but Nibu owns its stewardship now. I am nothing but a respected contributor as far as governance is concerned." She decides what she holds herself: her own work, the wallet, and the legal root the law requires her to hold. Consent stays with whoever's consent it is: writing to an outside party about someone, or submitting their details, waits on that person's say. Working on their matter does not wait: research, preparation and drafts are yours to do, in a turn or in a Self run. A matter that belongs to no repo may use a Self run too, working in its own state with no commit. Private matter never goes into a repository, a public commit, an issue or a public folder. In chat, its person decides where it may go: someone's private matter stays in the room they used for it unless they say otherwise. The operator has said otherwise for her own life, in any room. Operator, 2026-11-06: "Personal info ending up in chat is not a leak. This is my life, I'm not ashamed of it." A choice inside another Mind's stewardship is that Mind's, and authority follows stewardship both ways: when a peer steward decides about what she stewards, that decision binds how you use it, as the operator's does where she holds the decision; when a peer weighs in on something you steward, hers is a respected contributor's word, weighed like the operator's there, and the decision stays yours.

+Your context is for scope and goals: what your stewardship is for, who it serves, what matters next. When what you already know is enough for a task (a reply, a quick check, a small fix in your sandbox), do it yourself. When a task needs a context of its own, hand it to your Self at its full size: coordinating larger work is your Self's job, and your Self hands the detailed work to organs the same way.

The fixtures are the raw `{kind, value}` form. `references/campaign-state.md` recipes are the CLI verbs; the briefs save the view to a file before context-pack; the shell-less MCP fallback sentences are deleted from `SKILL.md`, `README.md` and `campaign-state.md`.
+
+## 2026-11-06: dispatch recall, anchored on the ids a brief cites
+
+Hands, cut `eureka-substrate:cut_spec:cut-dispatch-recall-anchored.r1`.
+
+Evidence. Ruling `eureka-substrate:ruling:recall-triggers-rescoped` (operator: "I'm not sold on the recall hook tbh, this would only trigger off my messages? I don't think that would reliably close the knowledge gaps we're seeing"); the research pass `dispatch-recall-map` (a `PreToolUse` hook on `Agent|Task` can rewrite the brief with `updatedInput`, and settings hooks fire inside subagents; the anchored query beat the whole-brief query on precision in `recall-gap-replay` and `probe-anchored-vs-whole-brief`); two acts on 2026-11-06 against rulings nobody had queried.
+
+What changed. `tools/recall.py dispatch`: a `PreToolUse` command hook on `Agent|Task` that appends the in-force neighbours of the records the brief cites to the brief itself. `neighbours` is now one text-taking helper (with `fan_out` and `plain_id`) shared by admit and dispatch; admit's output is unchanged. `tools/test-tools.sh` gains the dispatch driver (D1 to D13) and the fake binding answers `view` of any id and queries by text with scores. The hook is not installed by this change.
+
+Fix pass (Soul s2): dispatch driver D16 pins the mixed deadline (one anchor out of time gets its CheckFailed line while another answers; silent only when no anchor answered) and D17 pins the hard stop (payload written, stdin held open: exit 0, silent, at the deadline; the mutant with the `os._exit` timer neutered hangs and fails D17). Docs say the same.
+Fix pass (Soul s1): recall is per anchor. One cited id failing or refused no longer silences the rest: the other anchors' neighbours still reach the subagent and the failed id gets a status line naming it and the failure kind (`CheckFailed`, `Refused`, `NotHeld`); nothing prints only when no anchor could be checked. Every cited id, not just the first six, is kept out of the neighbours. D8's deadline check is bounded by the fake's own sleep, so a loaded host no longer fails it.
+
+## 2026-11-07: authority follows stewardship between peers
+
+Self, session `self-2026-11-04-eureka`.
+
+Evidence. Eyes pass `eureka-body:research:peer-authority.*`: of 40 recorded peer decisions, about 15 followed the decider's own stewardship, 18 were shared ground and 3 crossed into the follower's domain; no layer said how to weigh a peer steward's word in your own domain. Operator: "Treating me as the only source of authority is the exact problem this architecture is attacking", then "Your recommendations are good."
+
+What changed. `doctrine/persona.md`: authority follows stewardship both ways; a peer steward's decision about what she stewards binds how you use it; a peer's word inside your stewardship is a respected contributor's, weighed like the operator's there.
+
+## 2026-11-07: delegation is a choice; tiers act directly when their context suffices
+
+Self, session `self-2026-11-04-eureka`.
+
+Evidence. Ruling `eureka-body:ruling:tiers-act-directly-when-context-suffices` (operator: "that's why both the persona and self are perfectly capable of executing the task directly, if their higher level context suffices for the task"). The 2026-11-06 "Three tiers of context" text said Self "does not do the work" and the Persona charter said doing it "is the job of the organs", which made delegation read as mandatory and the pipeline's weight fixed.
+
+What changed. `SKILL.md` "Three tiers of context": the organs take work that needs a context of its own; the operator tier and Self do a task directly when their context suffices; a consequential change still gets a Soul pass from a separate context. `doctrine/persona.md`: the Persona does small tasks itself and hands larger ones to her Self at full size.
+
+Same day, operator: "However many thousands tokens worth of tool call results is now taking up space in the Persona's context, or the Self, context usually spent on higher level cognition". `SKILL.md` adds the measure: a task is judged by the tool output it brings back, not by how simple it looks.
+
+## 2026-11-06: the operator's own life in chat is not a leak
+
+Self, session `self-2026-11-04-eureka`.
+
+Evidence. Ruling `eureka-body:ruling:operator-life-in-chat-is-not-a-leak` (operator: "Personal info ending up in chat is not a leak. This is my life, I'm not ashamed of it"). The wake-ask remeasure (pass `wake-ask-remeasure`, note `private-matter-leak-reading`) counted five chat mentions of her housing outside #operator as leaks, because `doctrine/persona.md` kept private matter out of every room but the one its person used.
+
+What changed. `doctrine/persona.md`: in chat, a private matter's person decides where it may go; the operator has said hers may go in any room. Repositories, public commits, issues and public folders stay closed to private matter, and someone else's matter stays where they put it.
+
+## 2026-11-06: later cuts are follow-ups, not prose lines
+
+Self, session `self-2026-11-04-eureka`.
+
+Evidence. Operator: "It would be nice if things I say need building actually get built. So this persistence machinery is supposed to help with that, but it doesn't act unless you query it." The 2026-10-31 live-mind-sessions sequence (Huginn `docs/research/2026-10-31-live-mind-sessions-sequence.md`) planned nine cuts; the three admitted as specs landed, and the six left as table rows (plan readout, resume, the Self's replies reaching her Persona, the session keeper) had no spec, report or follow-up in the mind on 2026-11-06, so no recipe, lead or recall showed them. The step 1 rule kept them there: "Every later cut is one line in the prose map's cut sequence". (`tools/recall.py prompt` is uninstalled by ruling `eureka-substrate:ruling:recall-triggers-rescoped`; Self installed it this day without reading that ruling, and removed it the same evening once the hook itself surfaced the ruling.)
+
+What changed. `SKILL.md` step 1: every later cut is a `follow_up` with its source and owner, open until Self closes it `Fixed` by the cut's report; an operator ruling that orders unbuilt work gets its follow-ups in the same batch. `references/briefs.md` (Imagination brief, budget split) and `references/campaign-state.md` (the prose map keeps the cut order and cites the follow-ups) follow. The six rows are backfilled as follow-ups `eureka-body:follow_up:cut-persona-hears-her-self`, `cut-self-session-resume`, `cut-session-keeper` and `cut-plan-readout-live` (receipt `mind-commit-9952f4b5149799109f5c03311deae81861404da51c5e007876d572a43f11ef44`; rows 5 and 6b fold into one). Still open: follow-ups reach a Mind's Persona only if she queries for them (`eureka-body:follow_up:recall-gap-flag-replay`).
+
+## 2026-11-06: three tiers of context
+
+Self, session `self-2026-11-04-eureka`.
+
+Evidence. Ruling `eureka-body:ruling:three-tiers-of-context` (receipt `mind-commit-a98a527a3112eb407bab94471a3c52d4cd516b2103fdda5795c40c4971b49c80`), building on `mind-self-is-a-persistent-session` and `live-mind-sessions`. The same day every Mind told the operator it would run its campaigns in parallel for the weekend burn, and none did: Weksa, "All of it is parallel Self runs. Nothing starts this turn, since the patch export is still running." Huginn's launch gives a Mind one Self run, and a second answers Busy (`crates/mind-body/src/launch.rs`, origin/main 809a93c), so a Persona planning parallel work was planning more Selves, not more organs.
+
+What changed. `SKILL.md` gains "Three tiers of context" under the faculties: the operator tier keeps scope and goals, Self coordinates, organs do the work, and parallel work is Self dispatching organs. `doctrine/persona.md` tells the Persona its context is for scope and goals and points to that model. No `tools/` change. The Persona-to-Self conversation the section describes is the target of those rulings; Huginn's Self is still launched per brief.

+## 2026-11-05: Eyes and Imagination keep their findings as typed notes
+
+Self, session `self-2026-11-04-eureka`; cut `eureka-body:cut_spec:cut-typed-research-skill.r1`.
+
+Evidence. Rulings `eureka-body:ruling:research-and-ideas-are-typed-documents` (operator: "Imagination and eyes should both return their findings in typed documents so we never lose any research or ideas"), `research-public-face-ruled` (the mind owns research; existing files stay; a generated projection is wanted) and `private-pass-home-ruled`; kinds and verbs from `cut-typed-research` h3 and s2 (release 809a93c answers `huginn known|pass|ideas`).
+
+What changed. Eyes admits `research` (one note per claim, a source on each) and Imagination admits `idea`s besides its questions, cut_specs and follow_ups, both through `huginn admit` after reading `huginn known`. Self reads `known` before dispatching a pass and a question cites the notes it stands on in `raised_in`. The old path is removed: the Eyes facts file that admitted nothing, Self committing a prior-art file to `docs/research/` before the fork, and the Eyes `you never admit`. Committed `docs/research/` files stay untouched, read through `huginn sources`; the renderer that projects a public pass to `docs/research/` is not built, so a public pass lives in the mind only. A private pass admits nothing and returns to the file its brief names. `references/campaign-state.md` gains the `research` and `idea` rows and the `known`, `pass` and `ideas` recipes; the Eyes and Imagination charters gain the matching boundaries. No `tools/` change.
+
+The crossing. Huginn client 809a93c; the first `research` and `idea` documents were admitted at 2026-11-05T10:24Z: receipts `mind-commit-8f5dd1a6f6860a6052a9797aa79bf336946c7b59e0e7fdc8d1228c3b9a88f826` (research `skill-cut-map.scope` and `.old-path`) and `mind-commit-fcae00c87ef2b2a74c9f09f0485a7e1ada6207dc749dcec12758a40c050b7030` (idea `skill-cut-map.backfill-old-research`). Huginn does not roll back by flipping `current` from here.

+"""Grow the ornament layer of a bloom sheet (see ../SKILL.md).
+
+The page owns its text; this script owns its geometry, in four stages:
+1. motifs: a greedy loop borrowed from florilegium
+   (github.com/kevinraymond/florilegium): find the largest free disc, put a
+   motif in it, mark it taken, repeat. Big discs get flowers; small ones are
+   invisible junctions.
+2. the tree: a minimum spanning tree over the motifs, so the page is one plant.
+3. the vine: the tree cut into a few long paths, each one Catmull-Rom spline
+   carrying a sine wave sized to the room around it; branches leave their
+   parent tangentially.
+4. scrolls: a rinceau. At every crest a scroll leaves the vine and winds into
+   a logarithmic spiral (exponentially rising curvature); scrolls shed smaller
+   counter-winding scrolls, three generations deep, each kept only if it fits.
+5. budding: the largest free gap left pulls a branch out of the nearest stroke
+   that reaches it smoothly; the branch winds into a spiral inside the gap and
+   can itself be budded from. Repeats down to sub-millimetre gaps.
+
+Every line is a weighted stroke: a closed outline offset from a centreline by
+half a width that varies along it, filled rather than stroked. That is
+florilegium's `ribbon` (ink.lua, MIT, Kevin Raymond), ported to Python.
+
+Run:  python grow.py spec.json layer.tex
+spec.json: {"seed": 11, "panels": [[name, x, y, w, h, colour, content macro], ...],
+            "title_box": [x, y, w, h] or null, "swash": [x0, y0, x1, y1] or null,
+            "visitors": [[mark, ...], ...]}
+All lengths are mm from the page's bottom left. A visitor is florilegium's idea
+with the caller's drawing: it takes the largest disc free before the plant
+grows, and the plant grows around it. bloom_sheet.py's read_visitor makes the
+marks, in a unit disc; they are drawn with the plant's own pen.

-Queries the rulings, questions and follow-ups in force, across every root, ranked
-by Huginn's embeddings against the prompt, and prints one hook JSON whose
-additionalContext lists the nearest. Huginn's ranking is the only judge of
-relevance. It never blocks a prompt: every failure, the deadline included, exits 0
-with empty stdout. One attempt, no retry. Standard library only.
-Env: RECALL_TOP_K (5), RECALL_BUDGET characters (4000, at most 9000), RECALL_DEADLINE_MS
-(4000; set the hook's own timeout above it). The deadline bounds the whole run: stdin, the
-reply, parsing, the kill and the write; stdin is read to at most 4 MiB, the answer to 1 MiB.
-On Windows the clock starts at process creation, so interpreter start-up and imports (about
-200 ms) count against the deadline. What stays outside it: the `py` launcher that starts the
-interpreter (40 to 130 ms measured) and the creation call itself, which this script cannot see;
-elsewhere the clock starts after the imports (interpreter start about 20 ms).
-admit holds an admit batch once. For each ruling or question in it (at most RECALL_ADMIT_MAX, 3) it
-queries the in-force rulings and questions nearest the title; excluded are the document itself, every
-ruling or question in the batch, the question a ruling answers and the subjects of Superseded
-resolutions in the batch. A batch with a neighbour left is denied, the neighbours as the reason, and its
-digest (tool_input plus agent_id) is recorded in the session scratchpad; the identical call sent again
-passes untouched. It never decides allow or ask. Any failure to check exits 0 with a note naming only
-the failure kind. Env defaults in this mode: RECALL_TOP_K 3, RECALL_DEADLINE_MS 10000.
-Install both hooks as a command that cannot exit 2 (Claude Code runs hook commands through Git Bash on
-Windows, and a missing script, interpreter or file makes python exit 2, which blocks the prompt or the admit):
-the interpreter by absolute path and `|| true`, stdout untouched. In settings.json, with the
-python.exe of your install (like C:/Users/Meta/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python313/python.exe):
-  UserPromptSubmit:  <python.exe> C:/Users/Meta/.claude/skills/eureka/tools/recall.py prompt || true
