 **Live versus planned.** Live: docs, fixtures, examples, ontology data and the
-packet crate `crates/weksa`, including the scoring library. Planned: lowering,
-the `weksa score` subcommand, and the golf loop that scores lowered English against an expressive corpus. No
+packet crate `crates/weksa`, including lowering, `weksa lower` and `weksa score`,
+and the golf loop's round and edit-accept cycle (`weksa loop open|round|cycle`).
+Planned: a model lowerer, Score documents and the other panel languages. No
 daemon runs; the earlier Node daemon is parked at tag `parked/weksa-node-body`.

 | Scene (cut `speaker-scene`) | Key `scene:<group>@<n>`, the item's split group; type `weksa.scene`: participants (speaker slugs) and, per ordered pair, relation features of slot `Scene` (relative status, intimacy, in-group, audience and whatever the loop adds), at an inventory revision, and an `Annotator` | As Speaker. Keyed by the group, so a scene never straddles the split | As Speaker |
 | Corpus item | Key `item:<source-slug>:<n>`, `n` canonical decimal >= 1 (no sign, no leading zero, from cut 2b); type `weksa.corpus_item` with text, language, speaker, split group, prior turns, source. Source `ModelWritten` carries a `ModelFamily` enum, the generator string as the fixture wrote it, and a prompt digest (cut 2b). The item carries no speaker state of its own: its speaker slug and group name the Speaker and Scene documents | Admitted once; the whole item is immutable (re-adding an identical item is a no-op, any difference is refused; a correction is a new item that `supersedes` the old); text already held under another key is refused unless the new item supersedes that key (cut 2b); withdrawn, never deleted, so old scores stay explainable | Importers and `weksa corpus add`, under `corpus-cast-plus-public-domain`; the source enum has no variant for Discord or any training-forbidden source (`corpus-clean`) |
 | Split assignment | Derived: `split(scheme, item.group)` | Fixed for a scheme; a new scheme is a new constant, never a reassignment. A model-written item whose group derives test is in no split; a superseding item keeps its predecessor's group | The hash function. Nobody assigns by hand, so there is no writer to forbid |
-| Loop round | Key `run:<label>:round:<n>`; type `weksa.loop_round` with spec version, profile revisions, model ids and prompt digests, sampled train items, proposed change, validation scores before and after, outcome | Opened, scored, closed accepted or rejected; immutable once closed. Lives in the run store on Yggdrasil | The loop driver's accept rule (validation composite improves past the measured noise floor and no metric regresses past tolerance) |
-| Score | Key `<lowering-key>:<metric>@<metric-version>`; type `weksa.score` | Immutable; a new metric version scores again under a new key | The scorer, deterministic given the metric version and the embedder's model id. Cut `scorer` computes scores as values; cut `golf-loop-en` stores them, because the lowering keys they hang from arrive with the loop |
+| Loop round | Key `run:<label>:round:<n>`; type `weksa.loop_round` with spec version, profile revisions, model ids and prompt digests, sampled train items, Validation means and refusal counts, the digest of the inventory file it was scored under and, for a cycle's candidate round, its cycle `k` | Scored and recorded whole; immutable. A candidate round is put in one batch with its Decision. Lives in the run store on Yggdrasil | `run::round` and `run::cycle` (both through `score_round`) |
+| Loop decision | Key `run:<label>:cycle:<k>`; type `weksa.loop_decision` with the base round and revision, the edit prompt's digest and Train keys, the editor's answer digest, the candidate revision, inventory digest and round, the base, candidate and floor readings (chrF, meaning, composite), the threshold and the verdict (Accepted, or Rejected for edit-parse, edit-admit, no-gain, regressed chrF or meaning); digests and numbers, no text | Immutable. The latest Accepted one names the run's head inventory (`<root>/cycle-<k>/inventory.cc`, its candidate digest, its candidate round); with none the head is the copy `create` made at `<root>/inventory.cc`. Lives in the run store on Yggdrasil | `run::cycle`'s accept rule, `run::decide`: the validation composite gains more than max(noise floor, `LADDER_STEP`) and no metric falls past max(its floor, one step) |
+| Score | Key `<lowering-key>:<metric>@<metric-version>`; type `weksa.score` | Immutable; a new metric version scores again under a new key | The scorer, deterministic given the metric version and the embedder's model id. Cut `scorer` computes scores as values; cut `golf-loop-en` stores them, because the lowering keys they hang from arrive with the loop. Lands with follow-up `golf-loop-score-docs`, in the round's directory; nothing in the cycle reads them |
 | Lowering trace | Key `lowering:<packet-key>:<profile>@<rev>:<lowerer-digest>:<sample>`; type `weksa.lowering` holding the surface text and its trace together | Immutable. A surface text cannot exist without its trace, because they are one record (`lowering-traced`) | The lowerer emits; the lowerer sees the packet without its `trace` (the input type has no such field), never the corpus item |
 | Conlang lexicon entry | Key `lex:<language>:<concept-id>`; root form, morphology class | Root placed at its concept's embedding when the concept first needs a form in that language; stable once accepted; diachrony derives later forms, it does not overwrite | The language project's owner: the operator for her settings' languages, the loop proposing roots for her review |
 | Conlang grammar and phonology data | `<language>/grammar`, `<language>/phonology` documents per language project | Revised by commit; every lowering names the revision | The language project's owner |

 7a. `loop-context-builder`: `context.rs` (`TrainItems`, `EncoderOffer`, `Prompt`: corpus text reaches a model call only through `Prompt::mint` over live Train items or `Prompt::encode` over one offered item; instructions are the consts `MINT_INSTRUCTIONS` and `ENCODE_INSTRUCTIONS` in `context.rs`; `Checkpoint` has no public constructor, offers each item once, and its offers borrow it (the gate is typed `TestReadings` and Test offers on the round path; operator tools such as `weksa corpus dump` and `weksa score` still read corpus text of any split); prior turns print the held Train text), `SplitScheme::live`, `CorpusItem::cited_entities` (one owner of the id set `PacketStore::admit` and the offer share), and checkpoint-only Test readings (`Checkpoint`, `TestReadings`; `Aggregate` and `leak_diagnostic` carry no Test).

Merges follow-ups `loop-context-builder-2` and `scorer-test-readings-type`. (spec r1)
 7b. `golf-loop-round` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-round`): the smallest loop that scores one round. `run.rs`: `RunStores` pins the corpus and entity stores of a run by canonical path and FNV-1a 64 digest at `create`, reopens only from `<root>/run.cc` and refuses drift (corpus, entities, `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` of `context.rs`, `LOWERER_SOURCE_DIGEST` of `lower.rs`, model, embedder); `round` encodes every live Train and Validation item through a `ModelPort` (`model.rs`; the one adapter `AnswerFiles` writes `<digest>.prompt` and reads `<digest>.answer`, so the model is the Claude session), reads each answer into a `PacketDraft` (`encode.rs`, the one place a model's JSON is read), admits through `PacketStore::admit` into `<root>/round-<n>/packets.cc`, lowers, scores once, and keeps a `RoundRecord` (`weksa.loop_round`, no text, no Test; Train rows, Validation only as means and refusal counts). `weksa loop open|round`. Not here: the spec-edit step, accept rule and composite, noise floor, Score and lowering documents, a subprocess adapter, the checkpoint door, a model lowerer (follow-ups `golf-loop-spec-edit`, `golf-loop-accept-rule`, `golf-loop-score-documents`, `golf-loop-subprocess-adapter`, `golf-loop-checkpoint-door-bound`, `golf-loop-model-lowerer`). `packet-store-inventory-binding` is met for loop packets only (`RunStores` admits with the run's inventory); `validate`, `packet proof|dao` and `lower` still take caller stores. Waits on 7a, `checkpoint-gate`, 4b.
-7. `golf-loop-en` (7b landed its round, `ModelPort`, encoder prompt, template digest and round records; the rest remains): the loop driver, the packet store bound to one inventory store everywhere (`packet-store-inventory-binding`), a subprocess adapter, lowerer prompts, Score documents, the composite and accept rule, `weksa score`, the detached unit on Yggdrasil.

The run works on its own copy of the inventory (`create` copies the caller's file to `<root>/inventory.cc` and pins its digest as `RunRecord` key 11; `RunRecord.inventory` is provenance; a `run.cc` from before has no key 11 and does not open); the head is derived from the latest Accepted `Decision`. `weksa loop cycle` asks the editor for one inventory edit from `Prompt::mint(train, inventory, rev, feedback)` (Train blocks, the inventory listing and an `EditFeedback` line: whether the last edit was kept and the head's Validation composite rounded to `LADDER_STEP`, the Ladder release of Blum and Hardt 2015), reads it as an `EditDraft` (`encode.rs`; ids and revisions are the store's, `into_revision`), admits it through `InventoryStore::admit_revision` into `<root>/cycle-<k>/inventory.cc`, runs a candidate round under it, and `decide`s on Validation against the head's establishing round past a floor measured as the spread between rounds 1 and 2 (never under one `LADDER_STEP`). An edit that fails is a rejected `Decision`, not an error. `RoundRecord` gains keys 16 (inventory digest) and 17 (cycle); an encode answer that is not UTF-8 is that item's parse refusal. Not here: Score and lowering documents (`golf-loop-score-docs`), Train rows in the edit prompt (`golf-loop-edit-train-feedback`), a paired floor (`golf-loop-paired-floor`), the checkpoint door and merging to `data/` (`golf-loop-checkpoint-door-bound`, `golf-loop-freeze-merge`), a model lowerer (`golf-loop-model-lowerer-next`; until it lands an entry an edit adds has no lowering row, so a cycle gains only by retiring entries or adding ones the encoder does not cite).
