+//! Build-time generator for the "Show her working" page. Runs the real
+//! admission door, lowerer and IPA reader over the committed proof packet and
+//! variants of it, and prints one JSON document on stdout: the typed slots, the
+//! inventory entries the packet chose, and the outcome, which is lowered text or
+//! a named refusal. Scoring is not here: `tools/show-working/build.py` calls the
+//! `weksa score` CLI on the text this emits.
+//!
+//! Run from the repository root: `cargo run --release --example show_working`.
+//! Every variant is a mutation of `proof_packet()`, spelled in its `source`.

+# Show her working
+
+A static page that shows the lowering chain for committed fixture packets: typed slots, inventory entries chosen, lowered English, scorer closeness to the corpus target, with hedge, certainty and restraint annotated. Refusals (admission rules, `LowerError`, addressee consent, negation awaiting polarity) are results, not omissions.
+
+- `crates/weksa/examples/show_working.rs`: runs the real admission door, `lower` and `pronounce` over `proof_packet()` and its variants and prints JSON. Each feature is removed in turn and the packet re-run, so "the lowerer read this" is measured.
+- `build.py`: runs that, scores each lowered text with the `weksa score` CLI (needs Ollama with `qwen3-embedding:0.6b`), writes `out/data.json` and one dependency-free `out/index.html`. Fails if anything cannot run; there is no fallback text.
+- `scripts/publish-show-working.sh`: build, then publish through gamecult-ops `publish-mind-preview.sh`.
+
+Adding a fixture: add an entry in `fixtures()` in the example. A packet from another store needs a loader there; none exists yet.

+
+1. `cargo run --example show_working` admits each fixture packet through the
+   packet store and lowers it with the English lowerer (crates/weksa/examples).
+2. `weksa score` scores each lowered text against its corpus item (and the
+   other committed Nibu reference) through the Ollama embedder.
+3. out_dir/data.json holds the joined result; out_dir/index.html is one file
+   with no scripts to fetch and no network calls.
+
+Nothing on the page is typed by hand except the layout and the reading notes.
+If cargo or the scorer cannot run, the build fails: there is no fallback text.

Subject: [PATCH 002/141] Retire V13 and with_scene's raw door; Stance and
 Scene features sit in one slot

with_scene is removed until it takes a Scene document (next commit); V13 goes
with it. Slot exclusivity becomes a rule of InventoryEntry::well_formed, so
FEAT_ALL leaves Stance and its stance duplicate case goes (ANGER pins V11 in
Stance). tests/scene.rs is deleted and rewritten on Scene documents later.

+Two documents outside the packet hold the speaker's standing, in the store that

+holds one entity's stable axes as feature values of slot `Speaker`.
+`weksa.scene` (key `scene:<group>@<n>`) holds a corpus group's participants and,
+per ordered pair, the speaker's relation to a party (slot `Scene`); the party is
+a named participant or `Party::Unnamed`, an addressee the scene does not name,
+such as the player or a crowd. A revision appends and never edits: `n` is the
+latest plus one, and the latest revision is the highest `n`. Each carries an
+`Annotator`, `Operator` or `Model` with an attestation string for its generator.
+Both hold typed feature values only, never text. A feature of slot `Stance`,
+`Speaker` or `Scene` sits in that slot alone (each layer has one writer and one
+lifetime), which `admit_revision` enforces. `LoweringInput::with_scene` takes a
+scene document and the speaker; the speaker must be a participant (V16), and
+the relation selected is the speaker's to the entity of the addressee referent
+(to `Unnamed` when that referent has no entity, to nothing when the packet has
+no addressee). V13 is retired.

-4b. `speaker-scene` (spec r1; `speaker-scene-seeds` is its cut 4c: CLI, inventory revision 3, cast speakers and scenes; `Party::Unnamed` covers an addressee with no entity; Speaker and Scene share one `SpeakerStateStore`): slots `Speaker` and `Scene` with their seed features; `weksa.speaker` (`speaker:<entity-slug>@<n>`) and `weksa.scene` (`scene:<group>@<n>`, participants and ordered-pair relations) documents with `Annotator` `Operator` and `Model { family, generator }`, validated by the packet's shared feature check, append-only per key; their stores, `weksa speaker` and `weksa scene` commands, published schemas; Model-annotated cast speakers and scenes for the committed items. Waits on 2d and 4; `pd-speaker-annotation` blocks only the public-domain annotator.
+4a. `speaker-relation-input`: slot `Scene` and its first seed features (`relative_status`, `intimacy`, `in_group`; inventory revision 3, now `speaker_scene_revision`); `LoweringInput::with_scene` carries the speaker's relation to the addressee as typed `Scene` feature values. Since 4b it takes a `weksa.scene` document and selects the relation by the addressee referent's entity (V16 when the speaker is not a participant; V13 is retired). The English lowerer does not render it. (PR for follow-up `chat-s3352-3352`)
+4b. `speaker-scene` (spec r1; `speaker-scene-seeds` is its cut 4c: CLI, inventory revision 3, cast speakers and scenes; `Party::Unnamed` covers an addressee with no entity; Speaker and Scene share one `SpeakerStateStore`): slots `Speaker` and `Scene` with their seed features; `weksa.speaker` (`speaker:<entity-slug>@<n>`) and `weksa.scene` (`scene:<group>@<n>`, participants and ordered-pair relations) documents with `Annotator` `Operator` and `Model { family, generator }`, validated by the packet's shared feature check, append-only per key; their stores, `weksa speaker` and `weksa scene` commands, published schemas; Model-annotated cast speakers and scenes for the committed items. Waits on 2d and 4; `pd-speaker-annotation` blocks only the public-domain annotator. Part 1 landed (branch `weksa-lowering/speaker-scene`): `speaker.rs`, `SpeakerStateStore`, slots `Speaker` and `Scene` exclusive to their own feature lists, `speaker_scene_revision()` (Speaker features 22-24), `with_scene` on a Scene document, schemas. The CLI, the committed inventory revision 3 and the seeds stay with 4c.
 5. `language-ontology`: `weksa.community` from `data/cultural-ontology/` (owns follow-up `edda-referent-yaml-parse`), `weksa.ontology_entry` for en-US and ja-JP from `data/target-language-ontology/` (YAML deleted), speaker communities, deterministic `select`, the lowering view (packet without trace, speaker, scene, selected entries). Waits on 4.
 6. `pd-importer`: public-domain play and fiction dialogue into the corpus with speaker, scene group, edition provenance, and Speaker and Scene annotations by the ruled annotator. Waits on 4, follow-up `gutenberg-terms` and question `pd-speaker-annotation`.
 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 `&'static str`), `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). Library only. Merges follow-ups `loop-context-builder-2` and `scorer-test-readings-type`. (spec r1)

Subject: [PATCH 004/141] with_scene reads the item's speaker and group scene
 from the store; V17 addressee names a referent

The view keeps its corpus item's speaker and group (LoweringInput::of takes
the item; admissible is gone), and with_scene takes the SpeakerStateStore, so
neither speaker nor scene comes from the caller and only admitted scenes
reach a view. An addressee that names a predication is refused as V17.
Pins scene numbering per group and the no-fallback case for a named
addressee outside the participants; tests/scene.rs fixture now speaks as the
item's speaker.

+4b. `speaker-scene` (spec r1; `speaker-scene-seeds` is its cut 4c: CLI, inventory revision 3, cast speakers and scenes; `Party::Unnamed` covers an addressee with no entity; Speaker and Scene share one `SpeakerStateStore`): slots `Speaker` and `Scene` with their seed features; `weksa.speaker` (`speaker:<entity-slug>@<n>`) and `weksa.scene` (`scene:<group>@<n>`, participants and ordered-pair relations) documents with `Annotator` `Operator` and `Model { family, generator }`, validated by the packet's shared feature check, append-only per key; their stores, `weksa speaker` and `weksa scene` commands, published schemas; Model-annotated cast speakers and scenes for the committed items. Waits on 2d and 4; `pd-speaker-annotation` blocks only the public-domain annotator. Part 1 landed (branch `weksa-lowering/speaker-scene`): `speaker.rs`, `SpeakerStateStore`, slots `Speaker` and `Scene` exclusive to their own feature lists, `speaker_scene_revision()` (Speaker features 22-24), `with_scene` on the store, schemas. The CLI, the committed inventory revision 3 and the seeds stay with 4c.
 5. `language-ontology`: `weksa.community` from `data/cultural-ontology/` (owns follow-up `edda-referent-yaml-parse`), `weksa.ontology_entry` for en-US and ja-JP from `data/target-language-ontology/` (YAML deleted), speaker communities, deterministic `select`, the lowering view (packet without trace, speaker, scene, selected entries). Waits on 4.
 6. `pd-importer`: public-domain play and fiction dialogue into the corpus with speaker, scene group, edition provenance, and Speaker and Scene annotations by the ruled annotator. Waits on 4, follow-up `gutenberg-terms` and question `pd-speaker-annotation`.
 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 `&'static str`), `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). Library only. Merges follow-ups `loop-context-builder-2` and `scorer-test-readings-type`. (spec r1)

Subject: [PATCH 005/141] with_scene records what it read: SceneRead says no
 scene, no addressee, self-addressed, no relation or selected at a revision

The view no longer collapses five cases into one empty feature list. Scene::relation
returns None for an absent relation. Pins the item speaker over the first
participant and V16 without an addressee.

Subject: [PATCH 007/141] RunStores is the one public producer of TrainItems
 and EncoderOffer: a run pins its corpus and entity stores by digest

TrainItems::from_corpus and EncoderOffer::for_round become pub(crate). RunStores
(run.rs) creates a run over three stores, records their canonical paths and
FNV-1a 64 digests plus the prompt and lowerer source digests in run.cc, and
reopens only from that record, refusing on drift. RunRecord and RoundRecord are
published CultCache types. tests/context.rs and the context.rs doctests move to
RunStores; the two mutated-clone gate cases become a unit test.

Subject: [PATCH 008/141] ModelPort and AnswerFiles; the encode prompt lists
 the live inventory and has a digest

The encoder's instructions are written, Prompt::encode takes the run inventory
and revision, and Prompt::digest names a prompt for AnswerFiles: a prompt with
no answer file is written to <digest>.prompt and nothing else happens.

Subject: [PATCH 009/141] run::round: a pinned run encodes Train and
 Validation, admits, lowers, scores and records the round

encode.rs reads a model answer into a PacketDraft (the one JSON door for
models) and the encoder step sets everything the model does not write. round
asks every offer first and writes nothing while any prompt is unanswered, then
admits into the round's own packets.cc, lowers, scores in one call and keeps a
RoundRecord with Train rows and Validation only as means and refusal counts.
The Dao stores reproduce the base scores (Train 44.18, Validation 78.56).

Subject: [PATCH 010/141] weksa loop open|round: pin a run's stores, run one
 round, print one line

Round reads its stores only from the run record; prompts without answers are
written to the round directory and the command exits 3. Map line 7b records
what landed and what the follow-ups still own.

Subject: [PATCH 012/141] Round: means count a refused item as 0, a failed
 round discards its packets, the round line is pinned

Validation and Train means are over every item of the split with scored counts
beside them, so refusing a weak item cannot raise a mean. A round that fails
before its record is put (embedder down) removes its packets.cc, and a round
starts from none, so a rerun with revised answers is not refused as a changed
packet. RoundRecord::summary_line owns the printed line and is pinned with exact
values. The RoundRecord compile_fail doctest gives every field and fails on
E0451, with its twin literal in a lib unit test.

Subject: [PATCH 016/141] The run stops opening the caller's inventory store:
 create copies it to <root>/inventory.cc and pins its digest (key 11)

RunRecord.inventory is provenance only; open refuses Drift(Inventory) when the
run's own file differs. A run.cc from before has no key 11 and its open fails.

Subject: [PATCH 017/141] RoundRecord keys 16 inventory_digest and 17 cycle;
 round becomes the drift check, score_round and one put

An encode answer the port reports as InvalidData is that item's Refused(Parse),
not an aborted round.

Subject: [PATCH 020/141] weksa loop cycle: a Train-only editor proposes an
 inventory edit, a candidate round scores it, a Ladder-stepped noise-floor
 rule accepts or rejects on Validation

Reading, decide and LADDER_STEP are pure; Decision (weksa.loop_decision) holds
digests and numbers; the latest Accepted decision names the run's head. The
candidate round and its decision are one batch put.

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.

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`) |

 | 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 |

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).

Subject: [PATCH 022/141] Clippy: name the predication tuple, box PutArgs in
 EntityCommand

Clears type_complexity in daodejing.rs and large_enum_variant in main.rs.
RoundOutcome's large_enum_variant in run.rs is left for golf-loop-edit-accept, which rewrites that file.

 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.
-7c. `golf-loop-edit-accept` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-edit-accept`): one edit-accept cycle. 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). Waits on 7b.
+7c. `golf-loop-edit-accept` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-edit-accept`): one edit-accept cycle. The run works on its own copy of the inventory (`create` copies the caller's file to `<root>/inventory.cc`, refusing a root that already holds a file of that name, 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`).

Waits on 7b.
 7. `golf-loop-en` (7b and 7c landed the round, `ModelPort`, encoder prompt, template digest, round records and the edit-accept cycle; the rest remains): the packet store bound to one inventory store everywhere (`packet-store-inventory-binding`), a subprocess adapter, lowerer prompts, Score documents, `weksa score` in the loop, the detached unit on Yggdrasil. Waits on 3, 5, 6 and follow-up `claude-on-yggdrasil`.
 8. `style-axis`: a style-embedding score behind the scorer port. Waits on 3.
 9. `ja-panel`: ja-JP into the loop's panel. Waits on 7.

Subject: [PATCH 037/141] Accepting is one write, pinned by a store that
 refuses its second write

Delete the source-shape tripwire for one put_prepared_batch; run_cache_over
lets a unit test run cycle over a CacheBackingStore failing write 1 or 2:
the round and the decision land together or not at all.

Subject: [PATCH 041/141] Scene coverage has one owner, Scene::uncovered,
 applied at put and at with_scene

with_scene now takes the corpus store and refuses (V16) a scene that no longer
lists the speaker of every live item of its group.

Subject: [PATCH 042/141] Round lows 2: length-framed prompt source digest,
 refused create takes its lock, Prompts drift text, window pins for entities
 and head, one-write asserts Accepted

Recorded prompt digests change with the framing (they drift by design).

Subject: [PATCH 044/141] Retire the lowerer source pin: one prompt pin over
 context, split and lower

Deletes LOWERER_SOURCE_DIGEST, DriftOf::Lowerer, RunRecord key 7 and
RoundRecord key 3 (retired, never reused). PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST now covers
lower.rs, which the lowering prompt will read. Schemas regenerated.

Subject: [PATCH 045/141] The round lowers through the ModelPort: Prompt::lower
 over a LoweringInput, two answer phases

run::score_round no longer calls lower::lower. Prompt::lower prints the
meaning of an admitted view, en-US entity forms and the inventory at the
view's revision, and no item text, key, group, speaker or packet key. The
answer is a LoweringDraft {text}, held in score_round's locals and scored,
never written to run.cc, a RoundRecord, a Decision or EditFeedback. A round
or cycle asks every encode prompt, then every lowering prompt, all or
nothing. An entry an edit adds can now be lowered.

The run works on its own copy of the inventory (`create` copies the caller's file to `<root>/inventory.cc`, refusing a root that already holds a file of that name, 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). Waits on 7b.

Waits on 3, 5, 6 and follow-up `claude-on-yggdrasil`.
+7d. `golf-loop-model-lowerer` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-model-lowerer`): the round lowers through the `ModelPort`. `Prompt::lower` (`context.rs`) takes a `LoweringInput` (no text, key, group or speaker getter), the inventory at the view's revision and the en-US entity forms, and prints `LOWER_INSTRUCTIONS`, the meaning of the packet, the entities line and the inventory listing; the item key goes only to `item_keys`. The answer is `{"text"}`, read as `LoweringDraft` in `encode.rs`, held in `score_round`'s locals and scored once; it is never put in `run.cc`, a `RoundRecord`, a `Decision` or `EditFeedback`. A round has two answer phases (every encode prompt, then every lowering prompt), all or nothing: while any prompt is unanswered `packets.cc` is discarded and nothing reaches `run.cc`. `lower::lower` and the template table leave the loop (they remain `weksa lower`'s; follow-up `table-retirement`), so an entry an edit adds can be said and a cycle can buy a gain. One source pin remains: `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` covers `context.rs`, `split.rs` and `lower.rs` (`RunRecord` key 7 and `RoundRecord` key 3 are retired). Not here: per-item lowering text documents (`golf-loop-score-docs`), the subprocess adapter. Waits on 7c.

Subject: [PATCH 046/141] Soul s1 fixes: pin the lowerer reach, bound lowering
 text, pin the build refusal and the I/O discard

RunRecord key 12 LowererReach set by a required --lowerer-reach flag and
shown in round and cycle lines. PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST covers packet.rs.
Lowering text is refused when blank, over 4096 bytes or holding a control
character. Unanswered lowering digests are listed once. Tests for the
Prompt::lower build refusal and the packets.cc discard after a port error.

 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). Library only; since 7b `TrainItems::from_corpus` and `EncoderOffer::for_round` are crate-private and `RunStores` is their one public producer. 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`, a second pin on `lower.rs` retired in 7d, 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.
 7c. `golf-loop-edit-accept` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-edit-accept`): one edit-accept cycle. The run works on its own copy of the inventory (`create` copies the caller's file to `<root>/inventory.cc`, refusing a root that already holds a file of that name, 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). Waits on 7b.
-7d. `golf-loop-model-lowerer` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-model-lowerer`): the round lowers through the `ModelPort`. `Prompt::lower` (`context.rs`) takes a `LoweringInput` (no text, key, group or speaker getter), the inventory at the view's revision and the en-US entity forms, and prints `LOWER_INSTRUCTIONS`, the meaning of the packet, the entities line and the inventory listing; the item key goes only to `item_keys`. The answer is `{"text"}`, read as `LoweringDraft` in `encode.rs`, held in `score_round`'s locals and scored once; it is never put in `run.cc`, a `RoundRecord`, a `Decision` or `EditFeedback`. A round has two answer phases (every encode prompt, then every lowering prompt), all or nothing: while any prompt is unanswered `packets.cc` is discarded and nothing reaches `run.cc`. `lower::lower` and the template table leave the loop (they remain `weksa lower`'s; follow-up `table-retirement`), so an entry an edit adds can be said and a cycle can buy a gain. One source pin remains: `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` covers `context.rs`, `split.rs` and `lower.rs` (`RunRecord` key 7 and `RoundRecord` key 3 are retired). Not here: per-item lowering text documents (`golf-loop-score-docs`), the subprocess adapter. Waits on 7c.

The run's record pins `LowererReach` (`weksa loop open --lowerer-reach briefed-subagent|tool-less-relay`, `RunRecord` key 12) and every printed round and cycle line says it; a briefed-subagent run says its numbers are smoke-round only (rulings `lowerer-call-reach-toolless-relay`, `dao-round-seed-inventory`). A lowering is refused at `Lower` when blank, over `MAX_LOWERING_BYTES` (4096) or holding a control character other than a line break or tab; `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` also covers `packet.rs`. Not here: per-item lowering text documents (`golf-loop-score-docs`), the subprocess adapter. Waits on 7c.
 7. `golf-loop-en` (7b and 7c landed the round, `ModelPort`, encoder prompt, template digest, round records and the edit-accept cycle; the rest remains): the packet store bound to one inventory store everywhere (`packet-store-inventory-binding`), a subprocess adapter, Score documents, `weksa score` in the loop, the detached unit on Yggdrasil. Waits on 3, 5, 6 and follow-up `claude-on-yggdrasil`.

Subject: [PATCH 047/141] Lows: summary_line leaves the public surface;
 lowering bound pinned in bytes, CR refused

RoundRecord and Decision no longer expose an unlabelled summary_line; the only
public spellings are RunStores::round_line and cycle_line, which label with the
run's lowerer reach. The lowering bound tests now kill the chars-for-bytes and
CR-allowed mutants.

Subject: [PATCH 048/141] RoundRecord names the admission rules that refused
 items; the round line prints them

admit_rules (key 18) counts, over both splits, each rule an admission refusal
broke: validator codes (V2, V5) or a store refusal's variant name. Rule codes
only, no identifiers or text. The printed line gains admit-rules=... before the
lowerer-reach label.

Subject: [PATCH 049/141] Admit rules are a set: one count per item per rule,
 pinned by a packet that breaks V5 many times

Soul s1 low: the per-item dedup was unpinned. A BTreeSet makes it structural.

Subject: [PATCH 050/141] weksa loop recall: a recitation probe for
 public-domain items; admit_rules not required in the round schema

Each live public-domain Train and Validation item is offered to a model by its
opening alone and the completion is scored by chrF against the item's second
half (lowering-recall-diagnostic). Answers live in <root>/recall; the reading is
printed, recorded nowhere, never a gate. The round schema stops requiring
admit_rules, which older records lack.

Subject: [PATCH 051/141] Recall tests: mean over every probe, unreadable
 answer scores 0, written and withdrawn items are not probed

Soul lows: the mean-to-max, skipped-for-0 and withdrawn-gate mutants survived.

Subject: [PATCH 052/141] Original corpus (data/original): six passages written
 for the non-memorised target; recall probes every live item

Six short original sentences, model-written (Anthropic, claude-sonnet-5-5) and so
labelled, three Train and three Validation, over the Dao revision-3 inventory and
one live entity. The recall probe now covers every offered item, naming the work
only for a public-domain one, so it can show the original set reads near the
guessing floor.

Subject: [PATCH 053/141] Encode prompt states the id form; recall line states
 the real chrF floor; probe test over data/original

Five of six encoders in the first original-corpus round wrote bare integer ids and
were refused at parse (encoder-prompt-concept-ids). The prompt now says ids are
written in full with their family prefix. Soul s1 on the original corpus: unrelated
English scores chrF 13 to 18, not near 0, so the recall line says so; a test runs the
probe over the real original items.

Subject: [PATCH 056/141] Round records carry a closed reason for every parse
 refusal and an own-family count

DraftClass (closed set from serde's category and leading words, never the
message) rides on DraftError; the round counts parse_reasons by code
('unreadable' for an answer that did not read as text) beside admit_rules.
RunRecord keeps the answerer's ModelFamily (loop open --answerer-family);
the round counts offered ModelWritten items of that family and the line
says own-family N. The corpus rule is documented as binding model judges:
the loop labels, it does not forbid. New fields and admit_rules are
cultcache default, so older run.cc records decode; schemas regenerated.

Subject: [PATCH 057/141] Pin own_family to offered items and loop open
 --answerer-family with tests

Mixed-family corpus fixture (Anthropic, OpenAi, Unrecorded, PublicDomain,
cast, a Test-group model item, a withdrawn item) and a CLI test reading the
run record after `loop open`.

Subject: [PATCH 058/141] DraftClass: split the data-message reader out and pin
 each class with a real serde error

serde_json exposes no kind for a data error, so the prefix reader stays as
DraftClass::of_data; the test feeds each class a real answer and an unknown
message to Other.

Subject: [PATCH 060/141] Show-working page: lower_error covers main's four new
 LowerError variants; data.json publishes only fixture-cited corpus items

The example's match lacked UnknownPhone, DanglingStress, ConsentMissing and
AskerNotAddressee (E0004). build.py dumped every split into data.json, which
would have published a Validation item; it now keeps the fixtures' cited items
and fails if the written data.json holds any other item key.

Subject: [PATCH 061/141] Encode prompt: a referent's concept is never null

Both parse refusals in the original-corpus round (runs/orig-3) were a null
referents[].concept; the prompt gave 'or null' to entity, setting, medium and
addressee and never said concept could not be. One sentence, pinned by a test.

Subject: [PATCH 068/141] data/original: 8 public-domain Test items with full
 provenance; Test held out of rounds and recall

Eight one-sentence English excerpts from Dhammapada (Muller), Walden, Emerson,
Bacon, Aesop (Townsend), Mill, Plato (Jowett), Darwin, each taken from the
exact Project Gutenberg page named in edition_url and checked verbatim against
the fetched text. Groups hash into Test (buckets 83-97); split.rs untouched, the
ModelWritten-never-in-Test rule stands. Items 1..28 are byte-identical (digest
pinned). Tests: counts Train/Validation 14/14, Test 8 all PublicDomain; no Test
text in any round-1 or recall prompt or RoundRecord over data/original; a
ModelWritten item in a Test group is read in no split.

Subject: [PATCH 069/141] Stance ablation: replay, drop and permute a packet's
 stance beside recall

RecordedAnswers is the one reader of <digest>.answer files (AnswerFiles reads
through it). RunStores::stance_ablation asks a fresh lowerer the round's own
lowering prompt again (replay), with the stance emptied (drop) and with the
next item's stance in its split (permute), for live Train and Validation
packets only, and reads how far the lowering moves and what the item's own
stance adds to fidelity. A diagnostic in <root>/ablation-<n>: records nothing,
never writes round-<n>. `weksa loop ablate <root> --round n`; exits 3 until
answered. Touches no pinned prompt-source file.

The source tripwire now allows the ablation as a second Prompt::lower call site.

Subject: [PATCH 070/141] Pin that the lowering prompt moves with the stance
 alone

One dao packet admitted with its own stance, an anger-and-restraint stance and
none: three digests, each packet line ending in exactly that stance's JSON, the
rest of the text byte-equal, the stance features glossed in the one inventory
listing. No prompt change; the lowerer already reads the stance.

Subject: [PATCH 071/141] Lowering brief states the grade scale

LOWER_INSTRUCTIONS gains 'a grade is permille, 0 to 1000' (the encode brief
already states it). The pinned lowering test requires the sentence and asserts
the item's speaker entity id and group are in no prompt text.

This edits context.rs, a PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST input: the digest moves and runs
opened before this commit stop opening; open a fresh run to ablate under the
new brief.

Subject: [PATCH 072/141] Ablation reads none for an empty set, pins its line,
 names a missing round answer

Soul s1 findings: an empty mean printed 0.00 beside n=0 (now Option, printed
none, like SplitMean); the printed line and whole ablate output are pinned by
exact string, with drop and permute each carrying their own n; a missing
recorded round answer is RunError::Unrecorded and says the prompt digest
drifted or the head inventory moved, not that a store would not read; the
unusable count is pinned for variant and item sides.

Subject: [PATCH 073/141] Encode prompt: participants are node ids, never an
 entity id

Both bad-form refusals in orig-5 put the speaker entity (entity:keeper) in
context.participants. One sentence, pinned by a plain test; no new rule.

Subject: [PATCH 074/141] Lows: show-working publishes by allowlist and prints
 Display, edition_year says first appearance

The split guard failed open on any new split name; it now allows Train and
split-less items only. The page printed Debug of Refusal/StoreError and the
EntityRead store message; it prints Display and a fixed line. edition_year
held the first-appearance year of the work or translation, not the page read:
the doc comment and published schema say so.

The answer is `{"text"}`, read as `LoweringDraft` in `encode.rs`, held in `score_round`'s locals and scored once; it is never put in `run.cc`, a `RoundRecord`, a `Decision` or `EditFeedback`. A round has two answer phases (every encode prompt, then every lowering prompt), all or nothing: while any prompt is unanswered `packets.cc` is discarded and nothing reaches `run.cc`. `lower::lower` and the template table leave the loop (they remain `weksa lower`'s; follow-up `table-retirement`), so an entry an edit adds can be said and a cycle can buy a gain. One source pin remains: `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` covers `context.rs`, `split.rs` and `lower.rs` (`RunRecord` key 7 and `RoundRecord` key 3 are retired). The run's record pins `LowererReach` (`weksa loop open --lowerer-reach briefed-subagent|tool-less-relay`, `RunRecord` key 12) and every printed round and cycle line says it; a briefed-subagent run says its numbers are smoke-round only (rulings `lowerer-call-reach-toolless-relay`, `dao-round-seed-inventory`). A lowering is refused at `Lower` when blank, over `MAX_LOWERING_BYTES` (4096) or holding a control character other than a line break or tab; `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` also covers `packet.rs`.

Cut 5 is not a prerequisite: neither language lowers with ontology entries until cut 5 gives both theirs.

Subject: [PATCH 076/141] Loop: lower each item in its own language, read and
 decide Validation per panel language

Prompt::lower takes the language; RunRecord carries the panel; RoundRecord and
Decision hold per-language readings (pooled keys retired); decide_panel is
Pareto non-regression over decide(); recall splits at UAX #29 word bounds.
Integration tests follow in the next commit.

+/// panel order names the metric), and the gain test is [`decide`]'s for one
+/// language and, for two or more, the panel's: the sum over languages of the
+/// composite deltas (billionths) must exceed one [`LADDER_STEP`]. A language
+/// may lose up to its own noise floor if the panel nets more than a step; the
+/// rule gives up strict Pareto non-regression, which on noisy per-language
+/// readings ratchets every base to a favourable draw and strangles the loop
+/// (the convergence test would then fire on noise). Wang, Lipton and Tsvetkov
+/// (EMNLP 2020) measure negative interference between languages sharing
+/// parameters, which the per-language regression test still bounds.
+///
+/// Termination (the Ladder bound, Blum and Hardt 2015): every accept raises
+/// the sum of the panel's composites by more than [`LADDER_STEP`]. A composite
+/// is a mean of chrF as a fraction (0 to 1) and a cosine (-1 to 1), so lies in
+/// -0.5 to 1; the sum of `L` composites spans `1.5 * L`, and a run accepts at
+/// most `1.5 * L / LADDER_STEP` edits.

Subject: [PATCH 085/141] data/original: ja-JP slice, 28 model-written Japanese
 passages and 8 Aozora Bunko Test sentences
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Train and Validation (14 each) are Japanese passages written in Japanese, ModelWritten
Anthropic, generator claude-sonnet-5-5; none sits in a Test group. Test is eight
one-sentence excerpts (Soseki, Kyoka, Akutagawa, Ogai, Arishima, Kenji, Kajii, Kunikida)
taken from the card ruby zips (cp932, ruby and the pipe marker dropped, NFC) and checked
verbatim against each card's XHTML file; licence strings keep 底本, 入力 and 校正 within
the store's 200-byte cap. Entities appended (keeper gains 番人; eight pd-* authors).
Items 1..28 and holdout:1..8 unchanged (digest pinned). Tests per language: counts,
provenance, Test public-domain only, no markup, panel round reads both languages, speaker
forms, recall 56, no Test text in any prompt.

Subject: [PATCH 086/141] data/original: ja passages rewritten onto the Dao r3
 concepts; ja Test sentences pinned verbatim

The 28 Train/Validation ja passages are new Japanese sentences on the concepts the
pinned inventory holds (water, mind, belly, bone, sage, will, heaven, earth, fill, empty,
weaken, strengthen, compare, resemble ...), written in Japanese idiom, not translated.
The branch was unmerged, so corpus.cc was restored to 21eaa07 and rebuilt through
weksa corpus add; holdout-ja:1..8 and original:1..28 come out byte-identical.

Tests: the eight ja Test texts, groups, speakers, split and edition URLs are literal
expectations; every passage of both languages rests on a live inventory concept
(en 28/28, 18 concepts; ja 28/28, 21 concepts).

Subject: [PATCH 087/141] data/original: ja passages replaced, none a rendering
 of an en-US original or a Dao line
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

All 28 Train/Validation ja passages are new Japanese sentences on the inventory's
concepts with their own imagery (paddies, charcoal, kites, the bath, the market); none
renders an en-US original, and none restates a data/daodejing line (ch3, 5, 7, 8, 78) or
other canon (the old ones on 'true words', 'long-enduring', 'bellows', 'water vs hard
things' are gone). corpus.cc restored from 21eaa07 and rebuilt through weksa corpus add:
numbering 1..28 unbroken, holdout-ja:1..8 and original:1..28 byte-identical.

The concept test now matches Japanese by multi-character surface and English by word
stem, strips false friends (天気, 心配, 腹が立つ, 水曜 ...), and has a negative test.

-| Language ontology entry (cut `language-ontology`) | Key `onto:<language>:<n>`; type `weksa.ontology_entry`: conditions over feature values (stance, speaker, scene, packet features) and community ids, and the surface choice they select (layer: lexicon, grammar, discourse, phonology, orthography; a bounded descriptor and at most three bounded examples); introduced and retired by a profile revision | Added or retired by a profile revision, never edited; converted from `data/target-language-ontology/*.yaml`, which is deleted in the same cut so the YAML is not a second owner | The language's owner (the operator for her settings' languages) and accepted rounds; an ontology-minting call is assembled from Train items only, like an inventory-minting call, and its text is in the scorer's leak diagnostic. Selection is deterministic code (`select(profile, stance, speaker, scene)`); the lowerer realizes the selected choices and the trace lists their ids (`lowering-traced`) |

+| Target profile | Locale or language-project id (`en-US`, `ja-JP`, a conlang's slug). Until entries grow in rounds there is no profile revision document: a run names the profile it lowered with by the ontology store's path and digest in its `RunRecord` (cut `language-ontology`); `profile:<language>:<n>` revision documents arrive with follow-up `language-ontology-growth` | The ontology store is revised by commit; a run pins it and refuses drift | Profile authors and accepted rounds; never the lowerer's defaults (`persona-drives-register`) |
+| Language ontology entry (cut `language-ontology`) | Key `onto:<language>:<n>`, `n` from 1 per language; type `weksa.ontology_entry` in `data/ontology/ontology.cc`: the language, the inventory revision its conditions are read at, a layer (lexicon, grammar, discourse, phonology, orthography), at most four conditions (a feature id of slot `Stance` or `Discourse` with `AtLeast`/`AtMost` a grade or `Is` an option or flag; slots `Speaker` and `Scene` and community ids join with follow-up `language-ontology-view-assembly`), a choice of 1 to 200 bytes, at most three examples of 1 to 120 bytes, and an `Annotator` | Admitted in all-or-nothing batches through `OntologyStore::admit`, immutable, never edited; retire arrives with `language-ontology-growth`. The run pins the store like the entity store (path and digest, `Drift(Ontology)`), never copies it, because no loop step writes it yet. Cut `language-ontology-seed` converts by drafting, not by parse: a fresh model drafts each language's seed from that language's YAML and the inventory's feature lines with no corpus text, then deletes `data/target-language-ontology/` and `.weksa/cultural-ontology/` in the same cut | Seed: a labelled model (`Annotator::Model`), no operator gate, never Test evidence (`ja-ontology-owner-answer`); attestation (operator, native reader) appends later. Accepted rounds later, through a mint call from Train items only. Selection is `ontology::select(ontology, language, view)`, called only inside `Prompt::lower`, so no caller picks entries; the prompt prints each selected entry's id, layer, choice and examples. Its text is minted text for the leak diagnostic, which today has no runtime caller (follow-up `leak-diagnostic-in-round`) |
+| Community (cut `language-ontology`, follow-up `language-ontology-communities`) | Key `community:<slug>`; type `weksa.community`, converted from `data/cultural-ontology/cultures/` and `referents/` (YAML deleted in the same cut) | Revised by commit; a speaker names the communities it belongs to by id | The cultural ontology's author (owner-attested evidence only; Discord-only content stays deleted, `discord-only-content-deleted`) |
 | Speaker (cut `speaker-scene`) | Key `speaker:<slug>@<n>`; type `weksa.speaker`: stable axes as feature values of slot `Speaker` (origin, socioeconomic standing, age cohort, education and whatever the loop adds), at an inventory revision, and an `Annotator` | A new revision appends, never edits; a corpus item and every prior turn name a speaker slug, and a round records the speaker revisions it read | The annotator it names: `PersonaSnapshot` (a projection of a `gamecult.persona_state.v0` document, naming its source document and `updatedAt`), `Operator`, `WorkMetadata` (a public-domain work's own cast list and narration), or `Model { family, generator }` (the 2b `ModelFamily`) |
 | 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`) |

-# Cultural Ontology CultCache Seeds
-
-This directory stores Weksa cultural ontology as CultCache `.cc` witnesses.
-
-## Starter Database
-
-- `starter-targets.cc`
-
-This store contains one catalog entry and three draft guarded profile entries:
-
-- `weksa.cultural_ontology.pt-BR.vanilla_brazilian.v0`
-- `weksa.cultural_ontology.en.transatlantic.v0`
-- `weksa.cultural_ontology.ja-JP.kanto.contemporary.v0`
-
-The catalog entry is:
-
-- `weksa.cultural_ontology.catalog.seed_targets.v0`
-
-The `.cc` file is the typed state witness. This README is only an inspection
-guide; it does not own cultural ontology truth.
-
-The profiles follow `schemas/cultural-ontology-profile.md`: salience axes and
-linguistic affordances are nested typed state with feature IDs, activation
-gates, constraints, indexicality, evidence, uncertainty, and trace labels.
-
-Qdrant retrieval may later propose evidence bundles for these profiles. It does
-not own accepted profile state.

+The language ontology is `data/ontology/ontology.cc` (read it with

-# Target-Language Cultural Ontology Profiles
-
-These profiles describe culturally loaded realization choices for human target
-languages used by Weksa utterance lowering.
-
-They are not whole-culture summaries. They are bounded lowering profiles: the
-distinctions a target lowerer must inspect before producing dialogue.
-
-## Authority
-
-Target-language cultural ontology profiles own:
-
-- address and politeness distinctions
-- register and social stance pressures
-- agency, responsibility, and directness defaults
-- idiom and metaphor risks
-- script or orthographic choices that carry meaning
-- forbidden flattenings that would make the output dishonest
-
-They do not own:
-
-- source meaning
-- speaker-private state
-- target-language grammar as a whole
-- national or cultural stereotypes
-- final wording without an interlingua packet
-
-## Current Profiles
-
-- [English, US fixture default](./en-US.yaml)
-- [Brazilian Portuguese](./pt-BR.yaml)
-- [Brazilian Portuguese overlay catalog](./pt-BR-overlays.yaml)
-- [Brazilian Portuguese, Umbanda overlay](./pt-BR-umbanda.yaml)
-- [Japanese](./ja-JP.yaml)
-
-Each multilingual lowering fixture should cite the profile or profile stack it
-used so reviewers can tell which social and cultural distinctions were
-considered. Regional and religious-cultural options are overlays on a base
-language profile, not replacements for source meaning.

-# Target-Language Cultural Ontology Contract
-
-This is the human-facing schema receipt for target-language cultural ontology
-profiles consumed by Weksa utterance lowering.
-
-Executable schema code does not exist yet. When it does, it must reconcile with
-this document and the profiles under `data/target-language-ontology/`.
-
-## Authority
-
-A target-language cultural ontology profile owns the realization distinctions
-that must be inspected for a human target language before surface text is
-chosen.
-
-It owns:
-
-- address and treatment distinctions
-- politeness and register pressure
-- social stance and directness defaults
-- idiom, metaphor, and lexical-locale risks
-- script or orthographic choices that carry meaning
-- forbidden flattenings for reviewed output
-
-It does not own:
-
-- source meaning
-- speaker identity
-- private state
-- exhaustive grammar
-- whole-culture description
-- final wording without an interlingua packet
-
-## Required Fields
-
-- `profile_id`: stable profile identifier.
-- `language`: target code, locale, and script.
-- `scope`: bounded statement of what the profile is and is not.
-- `authority`: `owns` and `does_not_own` lists.
-- `salience_axes`: named axes the lowerer must inspect.
-- `linguistic_affordances`: optional nested typed feature records, following
-  `cultural-ontology-profile.md`, when the profile owns dialect, register,
-  phonological, lexical, discourse, orthographic, or code-switching pressure.
-- `forbidden_flattenings`: mistakes the target lowerer must avoid.
-
-## Salience Axes
-
-Each salience axis should name:
-
-- `relevant_distinctions`: choices the target language or locale makes visible.
-- `lowering_questions`: questions reviewers and lowerers should answer before
-  accepting an output.
-
-Examples:
-
-- English directness and sarcasm.
-- Brazilian Portuguese treatment choice, lexical locale, and regional or
-  religious-cultural overlays.
-- Japanese politeness, ellipsis, and sentence-final force.
-
-## Fixture Contract
-
-Reviewed multilingual fixtures should cite the profile used by each
-realization:
-
-```yaml
-target_language:
-  code: pt
-  locale: pt-BR
-  script: Latn
-  register: direct technical casual
-  cultural_ontology_refs:
-    - data/target-language-ontology/pt-BR.yaml
-```
-
-The realization trace should name the cultural ontology axes that shaped the
-line.
-
-For dialectal, regional, historical, ritual, and contact-language profiles, use
-the nested `weksa.cultural_ontology_profile.v0` contract in
-`cultural-ontology-profile.md`. Flat string lists are only summaries; typed
-feature records own accepted affordance detail.

Subject: [PATCH 094/141] language-ontology-seed fix s1: rebuild the seed as
 9+9 entries that read only stance and discourse and make true claims; pin the
 generator exactly; drop deleted store paths from the tex and schema; README
 says nothing grows the seed yet

ontology.cc is rebuilt from nothing (the branch is unmerged); no entry carries
over unchanged in number or text.

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`) |

(spec r1)
 4a. `speaker-relation-input`: slot `Scene` and its first seed features (`relative_status`, `intimacy`, `in_group`; inventory revision 3, now `speaker_scene_revision`); `LoweringInput::with_scene` carries the speaker's relation to the addressee as typed `Scene` feature values. Since 4b it takes the `SpeakerStateStore` and the `CorpusStore`, reads the scene of the view's own item group for the item's speaker, and selects the relation by the addressee referent's entity (V16 when the scene does not list the item's speaker or the speaker of any live item of the group, the rule `put_scene` applies too; V17 refuses an addressee that names a predication; V13 is retired). The English lowerer does not render it. (PR for follow-up `chat-s3352-3352`)

 6. `pd-importer`: public-domain play and fiction dialogue into the corpus with speaker, scene group, edition provenance, and Speaker and Scene annotations by the ruled annotator. Waits on 4, follow-up `gutenberg-terms` and question `pd-speaker-annotation`.
 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). Library only; since 7b `TrainItems::from_corpus` and `EncoderOffer::for_round` are crate-private and `RunStores` is their one public producer. 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`, a second pin on `lower.rs` retired in 7d, 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.

Subject: [PATCH 102/141] language-ontology-scene r2: a run reads entries and
 scenes at its own head, default bed is seed+proof+scene rev 3 (no Dao),
 politeness keyword guard replaced by model readings, nine seed entries
 reworded

(spec r1)
 4a. `speaker-relation-input`: slot `Scene` and its first seed features (`relative_status`, `intimacy`, `in_group`; inventory revision 3, now `speaker_scene_revision`); `LoweringInput::with_scene` carries the speaker's relation to the addressee as typed `Scene` feature values. Since 4b it takes the `SpeakerStateStore` and the `CorpusStore`, reads the scene of the view's own item group for the item's speaker, and selects the relation by the addressee referent's entity (V16 when the scene does not list the item's speaker or the speaker of any live item of the group, the rule `put_scene` applies too; V17 refuses an addressee that names a predication; V13 is retired). The English lowerer does not render it. (PR for follow-up `chat-s3352-3352`)
 4b. `speaker-scene` (spec r1; `speaker-scene-seeds` is its cut 4c: CLI, inventory revision 3, cast speakers and scenes; `Party::Unnamed` covers an addressee with no entity; Speaker and Scene share one `SpeakerStateStore`): slots `Speaker` and `Scene` with their seed features; `weksa.speaker` (`speaker:<entity-slug>@<n>`) and `weksa.scene` (`scene:<group>@<n>`, participants and ordered-pair relations) documents with `Annotator` `Operator` and `Model { family, generator }`, validated by the packet's shared feature check, append-only per key; their stores, `weksa speaker` and `weksa scene` commands, published schemas; Model-annotated cast speakers and scenes for the committed items.

 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). Library only; since 7b `TrainItems::from_corpus` and `EncoderOffer::for_round` are crate-private and `RunStores` is their one public producer. 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`, a second pin on `lower.rs` retired in 7d, 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.

Every id inside is an opaque form type (`n<k>` nodes, `encoder:<16 hex>`, canonical `<family>:<n>`). From cut `speaker-state` (schema v4) it also carries the utterance **stance**: the speaker's felt affect and restraint, as inventory features of slot `Stance` (see Speaker state below) | Minted by an encoder for one corpus item under one spec version; immutable; a new spec version means a new packet, never an edit. Admitted only through `PacketStore::admit`, which validates against the inventory store at the packet's revision | The encoder writes; the form types refuse malformed ids at construction and load, the validator refuses broken references and over-capacity packets: a feature at most once per slot, at most 64 nodes (`typed-packet`); nothing else writes packets |
 | Schema version | `weksa.interlingua_packet.v<N>` constant in `crates/weksa`; published JSON Schema at `schemas/cultnet/` | Bumped by a commit that changes the Rust types; the published schema is regenerated in the same commit and a test fails on drift | A cut (Hands, under a spec); never the loop |

 | Target profile | Locale or language-project id (`en-US`, `ja-JP`, a conlang's slug). Until entries grow in rounds there is no profile revision document: a run names the profile it lowered with by the ontology store's path and digest in its `RunRecord` (cut `language-ontology`); `profile:<language>:<n>` revision documents arrive with follow-up `language-ontology-growth` | The ontology store is revised by commit; a run pins it and refuses drift; it likewise pins the speaker-state store (`RunRecord` keys 17 and 18, `Drift(SpeakerState)`, cut `language-ontology-scene`) | Profile authors and accepted rounds; never the lowerer's defaults (`persona-drives-register`) |

Whether an entry's text keeps politeness on the scene is a model reader's judgment, owed per change (a mint owes it under `language-ontology-growth`), not a test | Admitted in all-or-nothing batches through `OntologyStore::admit`, immutable, never edited; retire arrives with `language-ontology-growth`. The run pins the store like the entity store (path and digest, `Drift(Ontology)`), never copies it, because no loop step writes it yet. Cut `language-ontology-seed` converts by drafting, not by parse: a fresh model drafts each language's seed from that language's YAML and the inventory's feature lines with no corpus text, then deletes `data/target-language-ontology/` and `.weksa/cultural-ontology/` in the same cut | Seed: a labelled model (`Annotator::Model`), no operator gate, never Test evidence (`ja-ontology-owner-answer`); attestation (operator, native reader) appends later. Accepted rounds later, through a mint call from Train items only. Selection is `ontology::select(ontology, language, view)`, called only inside `Prompt::lower`, so no caller picks entries; the prompt prints each selected entry's id, layer, choice and examples. Its text is minted text for the leak diagnostic, which today has no runtime caller (follow-up `leak-diagnostic-in-round`) |

The run pins the store like the entity store (path and digest, `Drift(Ontology)`), never copies it, because no loop step writes it yet. Cut `language-ontology-seed` converts by drafting, not by parse: a fresh model drafts each language's seed from that language's YAML and the inventory's feature lines with no corpus text, then deletes `data/target-language-ontology/` and `.weksa/cultural-ontology/` in the same cut | Seed: a labelled model (`Annotator::Model`), no operator gate, never Test evidence (`ja-ontology-owner-answer`); attestation (operator, native reader) appends later. Accepted rounds later, through a mint call from Train items only. Selection is `ontology::select(ontology, language, view)`, called only inside `Prompt::lower`, so no caller picks entries; the prompt prints each selected entry's id, layer, choice and examples.

Participants and audience list the node ids of referents, never an entity id: an entity speaker is a referent whose entity field holds it, and participants lists that referent's node id.
+Node ids are n1, n2, and so on, one per referent and predication. Every other id comes from the inventory listed below and must be live at its revision. Write each id in full, exactly as the inventory lines spell it, family prefix included: concept:7, never 7. An entity comes only from the entities line. A referent's concept is never null, even when it carries an entity: give the nearest concept id. Participants and audience list the node ids of referents, never an entity id: an entity speaker is a referent whose entity field holds it, and participants lists that referent's node id. A predication holds each role at most once, and a feature list each feature at most once: two or more fillers of one role are one referent of kind group that fills the role, and each member is related to it by a member_of relation from the member to the group.
 A feature is {feature, value}; value is {\"Grade\": 0 to 1000}, {\"Option\": label} or {\"Flag\": true or false}, as the inventory lists the feature's kind.";

 cases were withdrawn: a paired measure found they made the lowerer match the reference register less
 often, and they stay out until a native reader attests them.
+ja-JP `:5` (hedging), `:7` (affection) and `:8` (restrained sadness) carry certainty and restraint conditions, through `AtMostOrUnset` bounds (an unrated certainty or restraint does not defeat them), so the hedging, certainty, affection, restraint and sadness entries never co-select on the pairs `:5`/`:6`, `:4`/`:7`, `:6`/`:7` and `:6`/`:8`; the store has no retire, so that was a rebuild of `data/ontology/ontology.cc` with the ja-JP text unchanged.

Speaker axes, scene relations and affects are features of those slots, so the loop grows them like any closed-class family and convergence covers them | Added or retired by an inventory revision; never edited in place (a changed meaning is a retire plus an add); a retired id still resolves for packets of earlier revisions | The loop's accepted rounds, whose minting call the context builder assembles from Train items only; `weksa inventory admit` for one model-drafted `EditDraft` outside a run (cap 256, reviewed whole in its cut; same numbering and admission check as the loop); Self on merge to main. `data/original` revs 5 (233 concepts and frames) and 6 (five concepts closing named gaps) were drafted by claude-sonnet-5-5 (Weksa Hands, model-drafted original-bed lexicon from Train and Validation passages); Validation-informed: numbers on this bed measure lowering, never generalization or convergence. Residue after rev 6, not amended (each fresh coverage reader names new gaps; the loop's growth path owns them): simultaneity (ながら), distal deixis (あの), 'first' (まず), counterfactual mood, 'at least', emphatic question; heaven versus sky for the visible 天 stays weak. Admission checks form, not text |

 | Target profile | Locale or language-project id (`en-US`, `ja-JP`, a conlang's slug). Until entries grow in rounds there is no profile revision document: a run names the profile it lowered with by the ontology store's path and digest in its `RunRecord` (cut `language-ontology`); `profile:<language>:<n>` revision documents arrive with follow-up `language-ontology-growth` | The ontology store is revised by commit; a run pins it and refuses drift; it likewise pins the speaker-state store (`RunRecord` keys 17 and 18, `Drift(SpeakerState)`, cut `language-ontology-scene`) | Profile authors and accepted rounds; never the lowerer's defaults (`persona-drives-register`) |
-| Language ontology entry (cut `language-ontology`) | Key `onto:<language>:<n>`, `n` from 1 per language; type `weksa.ontology_entry` in `data/ontology/ontology.cc`: the language, the revision of the inventory it was admitted through (provenance: beds number revisions independently and a run reads each condition's feature at its own head), a layer (lexicon, grammar, discourse, phonology, orthography), at most four conditions (a feature id of slot `Stance`, `Discourse` or `Scene` with `AtLeast`/`AtMost`/`AtMostOrUnset` a grade or `Is` an option or flag; a `Scene` condition reads the relation of the item's speaker to its addressee that `with_scene` selected; slot `Speaker` and community ids wait on follow-up `language-ontology-communities`), a choice of 1 to 200 bytes, at most three examples of 1 to 120 bytes, and an `Annotator`. Whether an entry's text keeps politeness on the scene is a model reader's judgment, owed per change (a mint owes it under `language-ontology-growth`), not a test | Admitted in all-or-nothing batches through `OntologyStore::admit`, immutable, never edited; retire arrives with `language-ontology-growth`. The run pins the store like the entity store (path and digest, `Drift(Ontology)`), never copies it, because no loop step writes it yet. Cut `language-ontology-seed` converts by drafting, not by parse: a fresh model drafts each language's seed from that language's YAML and the inventory's feature lines with no corpus text, then deletes `data/target-language-ontology/` and `.weksa/cultural-ontology/` in the same cut | Seed: a labelled model (`Annotator::Model`), no operator gate, never Test evidence (`ja-ontology-owner-answer`); attestation (operator, native reader) appends later. Accepted rounds later, through a mint call from Train items only.

Keyed by the group, so a scene never straddles the split. `data/original/speaker-state.cc` holds Model-annotated keeper scenes, one per Train or Validation group of both languages (`weksa scene put|dump`); a Test group has none and reads `NoScene` | As Speaker; a model-annotated scene is never Test evidence |

 | 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 (provenance; a run reads the features at its own head), and an `Annotator` | As Speaker. Keyed by the group, so a scene never straddles the split. `data/original/speaker-state.cc` holds Model-annotated keeper scenes, one per Train or Validation group of both languages (`weksa scene put|dump`); a Test group has none and reads `NoScene` | As Speaker; a model-annotated scene is never Test evidence |

Speaker axes, scene relations and affects are features of those slots, so the loop grows them like any closed-class family and convergence covers them | Added or retired by an inventory revision; never edited in place (a changed meaning is a retire plus an add); a retired id still resolves for packets of earlier revisions | The loop's accepted rounds, whose minting call the context builder assembles from Train items only; `weksa inventory admit` for one model-drafted `EditDraft` outside a run (cap 256, reviewed whole in its cut; same numbering and admission check as the loop); Self on merge to main. `data/original` revs 5 (233 concepts and frames) and 6 (five concepts closing named gaps) were drafted by claude-sonnet-5-5 (Weksa Hands, model-drafted original-bed lexicon from Train and Validation passages); Validation-informed: numbers on this bed measure lowering, never generalization or convergence. Residue after rev 6, not amended (each fresh coverage reader names new gaps; the loop's growth path owns them): simultaneity (ながら), distal deixis (あの), 'first' (まず), counterfactual mood, 'at least', emphatic question; heaven versus sky for the visible 天 stays weak.

 | 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 (provenance; a run reads the features at its own head), and an `Annotator` | As Speaker. Keyed by the group, so a scene never straddles the split. `data/original/speaker-state.cc` holds Model-annotated keeper scenes, one per Train or Validation group of both languages (`weksa scene put|dump`); a Test group has none and reads `NoScene` | As Speaker; a model-annotated scene is never Test evidence |

 | Inventory entry | Key `<family>:<n>`, `n` canonical decimal >= 1 (families: concept, frame, role, relation, speech_act, feature, referent_kind, extension); type `weksa.inventory_entry`, with a bounded gloss, value kind (option labels bounded), the slots a feature may sit in (`Discourse`, `Referent`, `Predication`, `Relation`; `Stance` from cut `speaker-state`, `Speaker` and `Scene` from cut `speaker-scene`), `introduced_rev` and optional `retired_rev`. Speaker axes, scene relations and affects are features of those slots, so the loop grows them like any closed-class family and convergence covers them | Added or retired by an inventory revision; never edited in place (a changed meaning is a retire plus an add); a retired id still resolves for packets of earlier revisions | The loop's accepted rounds, whose minting call the context builder assembles from Train items only; `weksa inventory admit` for one model-drafted `EditDraft` outside a run (cap 256, reviewed whole in its cut; same numbering and admission check as the loop); Self on merge to main. `data/original` revs 5 (233 concepts and frames) and 6 (five concepts closing named gaps) were drafted by claude-sonnet-5-5 (Weksa Hands, model-drafted original-bed lexicon from Train and Validation passages); Validation-informed: numbers on this bed measure lowering, never generalization or convergence. Residue after rev 6, not amended (each fresh coverage reader names new gaps; the loop's growth path owns them): simultaneity (ながら), distal deixis (あの), 'first' (まず), counterfactual mood, 'at least', emphatic question; heaven versus sky for the visible 天 stays weak. Admission checks form, not text |
 | Inventory revision | Key `rev:<n>`, type `weksa.inventory_revision`, with parent, change list and `frozen` | Appended per accepted round; exactly one revision is ever marked frozen, by the convergence test | The loop's accept rule appends; the convergence test freezes; Self records the freeze as a ruling |
 | Target profile | Locale or language-project id (`en-US`, `ja-JP`, a conlang's slug). Until entries grow in rounds there is no profile revision document: a run names the profile it lowered with by the ontology store's path and digest in its `RunRecord` (cut `language-ontology`); `profile:<language>:<n>` revision documents arrive with follow-up `language-ontology-growth` | The ontology store is revised by commit; a run pins it and refuses drift; it likewise pins the speaker-state store (`RunRecord` keys 17 and 18, `Drift(SpeakerState)`, cut `language-ontology-scene`) | Profile authors and accepted rounds; never the lowerer's defaults (`persona-drives-register`) |
-| Language ontology entry (cut `language-ontology`) | Key `onto:<language>:<n>`, `n` from 1 per language; type `weksa.ontology_entry` in `data/ontology/ontology.cc`: the language, the revision of the inventory it was admitted through (provenance: beds number revisions independently and a run reads each condition's feature at its own head), a layer (lexicon, grammar, discourse, phonology, orthography), at most four conditions (a feature id of slot `Stance`, `Discourse` or `Scene` with `AtLeast`/`AtMost`/`AtMostOrUnset` a grade or `Is` an option or flag; a `Scene` condition reads the relation of the item's speaker to its addressee that `with_scene` selected; slot `Speaker` and community ids wait on follow-up `language-ontology-communities`), a choice of 1 to 200 bytes, at most three examples of 1 to 120 bytes, and an `Annotator`. Whether an entry's text keeps politeness on the scene is a model reader's judgment, owed per change (a mint owes it under `language-ontology-growth`), not a test | Admitted in all-or-nothing batches through `OntologyStore::admit`, immutable, never edited; retire arrives with `language-ontology-growth`. The run pins the store like the entity store (path and digest, `Drift(Ontology)`) and never writes it; slice 1 of growth is outside any run: `weksa loop mint-ontology` drafts entries from the run's Train items of one language into `<root>/ontology-mint/<digest>.answer`, `weksa ontology admit --ontology <copy>` admits them into a file copy, and a new run pins the copy (a run-owned copy waits on follow-up `language-ontology-growth`). Cut `language-ontology-seed` converts by drafting, not by parse: a fresh model drafts each language's seed from that language's YAML and the inventory's feature lines with no corpus text, then deletes `data/target-language-ontology/` and `.weksa/cultural-ontology/` in the same cut | Seed: a labelled model (`Annotator::Model`), no operator gate, never Test evidence (`ja-ontology-owner-answer`); attestation (operator, native reader) appends later.

 | Speaker (cut `speaker-scene`) | Key `speaker:<slug>@<n>`; type `weksa.speaker`: stable axes as feature values of slot `Speaker` (origin, socioeconomic standing, age cohort, education and whatever the loop adds), at an inventory revision, and an `Annotator` | A new revision appends, never edits; a corpus item and every prior turn name a speaker slug, and a round records the speaker revisions it read | The annotator it names: `PersonaSnapshot` (a projection of a `gamecult.persona_state.v0` document, naming its source document and `updatedAt`), `Operator`, `WorkMetadata` (a public-domain work's own cast list and narration), or `Model { family, generator }` (the 2b `ModelFamily`) |
 | 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 (provenance; a run reads the features at its own head), and an `Annotator` | As Speaker. Keyed by the group, so a scene never straddles the split. `data/original/speaker-state.cc` holds Model-annotated keeper scenes, one per Train or Validation group of both languages (`weksa scene put|dump`); a Test group has none and reads `NoScene` | As Speaker; a model-annotated scene is never Test evidence |

-# Cultural Ontology Store
-
-This directory holds draft Weksa cultural, subcultural, and source-referent
-ontology profiles used for ontological lowering, syntax, grammar, discourse,
-and surface-affordance selection.
-
-Live pipeline shape:
-
-1. Weksa stores reusable cultures, subcultures, and source referents here and
-   in semantic retrieval storage such as Qdrant.
-2. A Persona state references the relevant culture stack.
-3. The Persona produces interlingua intent from current state and situation.
-4. Weksa lowers that interlingua through the referenced culture stack.
-
-Persona state owns current intent, memory pressure, and relationship stance.
-Cultural ontology owns reusable salience, affordances, and constraints. Qdrant
-may retrieve candidates, but accepted ontology remains typed state.
-
-## Directory Roles
-
-- `cultures/`: culture or life-history profiles that can shape lowering when a
-  Persona explicitly references them.
-- `referents/`: bounded source-text, mythic, literary, ritual, or historical
-  referents. These are not whole-culture profiles; they preserve reusable
-  role, salience, affordance, and forbidden-flattening pressure.
-- `persona-stacks/`: named stacks that connect a Persona state surface to the
-  profiles Weksa should load for lowering.
-
-Shared source-tradition profiles should be parent profiles for narrower named
-figure profiles. For example, Norse-derived Personas such as Mimir, Huginn,
-Sindri, Odin, Vili, Loki, and Brokkr should be able to reference the shared
-Eddic source-tradition profile while figure-specific child profiles preserve
-the exact episode and role constraints that make each voice distinct.

-    Shared source-tradition profile for Personas that explicitly derive voice,

-    figures. This profile supports lowering source-shaped Persona intent into
-    natural speech without turning the Eddas into generic Norse ambience.
-  historical_context: >
-    The Poetic Edda preserves mythological and heroic poems from the Old Norse
-    tradition, including major source material for Odin, Mimir, Loki, Vili,
-    dwarfs, prophecy, wisdom, oaths, doom, and divine conflict. The Prose Edda
-    is a medieval Icelandic prose and poetic handbook preserving and explaining
-    many related myths, names, kennings, and narrative episodes.

-    communities. Persona-specific profiles should specialize this profile when
-    a named figure, episode, or role has its own lowering constraints.
-  consent_notes: >
-    This profile is for fictional Persona/source-text lowering. It must not be
-    used to infer ethnicity, accent, religion, or modern identity. Do not use it

-5. `language-ontology`, in sequential cuts on `d9ebbcf`. 5a `language-ontology` (spec r1): `weksa.ontology_entry`, `OntologyStore`, `ontology::select` over the view's `Stance` and `Discourse` features, `Prompt::lower` printing the selected entries of the item's language, `RunRecord` pinning the ontology store (keys 15 and 16), `weksa ontology admit|dump`; `ontology.rs` joins `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST`. 5b `language-ontology-seed` (spec r1, after 5a): Model-annotated en-US and ja-JP seed entries drafted by an isolated model, `data/target-language-ontology/`, `.weksa/cultural-ontology/` and `schemas/target-language-cultural-ontology.md` deleted. Lost until 5c': keigo, hierarchy and uchi-soto hang on the scene relation from 5c', so ja-JP politeness is still the lowerer's guess. 5c' `language-ontology-scene` (spec r1, after 5b): the run pins the `SpeakerStateStore` (keys 17 and 18, `Drift(SpeakerState)`), `RunStores::assembled` is the one door that reads the item's scene into a loop view, `select` reads slot `Scene`, `Prompt::lower` refuses a view whose scene was never read, `weksa scene put|dump` and `weksa inventory speaker-scene` (rev 4 in data/original and data/daodejing, rev 3 in data/interlingua, which holds no Dao revision), Model-annotated keeper scenes and Scene-conditioned entries for `data/original`. 5c `language-ontology-view-assembly` (follow-up, now only the Speaker read): `select` widens to slot `Speaker`; waits on `speaker-scene-seeds`. 5d `language-ontology-communities` (follow-up): `weksa.community` from `data/cultural-ontology/` (YAML deleted, owns `edda-referent-yaml-parse`), community ids on `weksa.speaker`, community conditions; waits on 5c and question `persona-speech-community-home`.

+5e. `delete-cultural-ontology` (steward ruling, 2026-11-13): `data/cultural-ontology/` (five draft YAML profile files and a README; `old-norse-edda-source-tradition.yaml` did not parse) deleted. Nothing in `crates/`, tests, scripts or CI read it; `examples/persona-lowering/brokkr-edda-voice/` cites its paths as text only (the one test that reads that example reads `lowered-output.yaml`). The typed `weksa.community` of follow-up `language-ontology-communities` is built fresh under cut 5; follow-up `edda-referent-yaml-parse` is moot.
 6. `pd-importer`: public-domain play and fiction dialogue into the corpus with speaker, scene group, edition provenance, and Speaker and Scene annotations by the ruled annotator. Waits on 4, follow-up `gutenberg-terms` and question `pd-speaker-annotation`.
 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). Library only; since 7b `TrainItems::from_corpus` and `EncoderOffer::for_round` are crate-private and `RunStores` is their one public producer. 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`, a second pin on `lower.rs` retired in 7d, 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.

+## Distil measure (`distil-slice`)
+
+A lowerer is compared on round n's Validation packets with the prompts
+byte-identical to the round's, by `weksa loop relower ROOT --round N --arm ARM
+--lowerer LABEL [--floor ARM2]`. Every arm is answered through the one prompt
+door (`RunStores::answer_files`, the Test-text guard); a tuned model is a script
+that reads `<digest>.prompt` and writes `<digest>.answer` in
+`<ROOT>/relower-<N>-<ARM>`, not a new adapter. The recorded reading is the
+round's own lowering, read over the same items as the arm. An item the round
+refused before admission (no packet) or at the lowering prompt has no prompt to
+ask: it is skipped, so the readings exclude it, and it is counted as `skipped=`
+on the line; `n` is the items read, so `recorded` can differ from the round's
+own Validation reading, which scores those items 0. An arm answer that is not a
+usable lowering scores 0 and counts in `unusable=`; the same for the floor arm,
+counted after `floor ... unusable=`. The floor is the spread of the recorded
+lowering and a second prompted arm (lowering-only noise, no encoder noise). The
+verdict is `decide_panel` over (recorded, arm, floor): Accepted is the rule's
+name for a gain past the floor, Rejected(Regressed) for a loss past it,
+Rejected(NoGain) for neither. None is yet a finding about the arm. The rule is calibration-pending: a one-pair floor is noisy
+(a simulated prompted repeat reads NoGain only about 7-15% of the time, Regressed
+44-60%, Accepted 33-41%), so NoGain is not yet evidence of non-inferiority and
+is not yet the bar for cut 13; the calibration arms (a prompted repeat, a
+control) decide what the floor must be before the verdict is read as a ruling.
+Training pairs are Train only, at a frozen revision; the export is 12b.

+Power (can the rule Accept a real gain?): the only better arm that could be
+built without Test or Validation answers is a lowerer shown the Train sentences
+of the corpus (no packets, no Validation or Test text) as a register guide.
+Four such draws beat the prompted draws' mean composite in both languages (en-US
+0.742 to 0.759 to 0.795; ja-JP 0.559 to 0.578 to 0.620), so the premise that it is
+better is measured on the very Validation items the rule reads, not independent.
+Against the prompted bases with 3-arm floors the rule reads it Accepted in 29%
+of 1120 trials, NoGain 71%, Regressed 0%: a net gain of 0.079 against a mean
+noise term of 0.079. At 14 items per language the rule is therefore a low-power
+filter for a gain of this size; by 1/sqrt(n), about 35 or more items per
+language would bring the noise term near 0.05 (an extrapolation, not measured).

Keyed by the group, so a scene never straddles the split. `data/original/speaker-state.cc` holds Model-annotated keeper scenes, one per Train or Validation group of both languages (`weksa scene put|dump`); a Test group has none and reads `NoScene` | As Speaker; a model-annotated scene is never Test evidence |
 | 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, Validation means and refusal counts (from cut `ja-panel-loop`: one set per language of the run's panel, no pooled mean), per-item Validation scores in corpus order (key 22, numbers only, no item key or text, private to `run.rs` for the paired floor; a run from before has none and opens), 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`) |

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`), no metric falls past max(its floor, one step), the composite does not fall past max(its floor, one step), and a non-finite reading rejects (the one regression test, `run::regression`); differences compared in billionths so a gain of exactly one step is a tie. From cut `ja-panel-loop` the readings, floor and threshold are kept per panel language and `run::regression` runs per language and is the one regression test (`decide` adds the gain test for a one-language panel): any language regressing rejects (verdicts `regressed-chrf`, `regressed-meaning`, `regressed-composite`), otherwise a one-language panel accepts as `decide` does and a panel of two or more accepts when the sum of composite deltas exceeds one `LADDER_STEP` (billionths). Given up: strict Pareto non-regression; a language may lose up to its own noise floor if the panel nets more than a step, because zero tolerance ratchets every base to a favourable noise draw and strangles the loop. Termination: each accept raises the composite sum by more than a step and composites lie in -0.5 to 1, so a run accepts at most 1.5 * languages / `LADDER_STEP` edits |
 | 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 |

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). Waits on 7b.
 7d. `golf-loop-model-lowerer` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-model-lowerer`): the round lowers through the `ModelPort`. `Prompt::lower` (`context.rs`) takes a `LoweringInput` (no text, key, group or speaker getter), the inventory at the view's revision and the en-US entity forms, and prints `LOWER_INSTRUCTIONS`, the meaning of the packet, the entities line and the inventory listing; the item key goes only to `item_keys`. The answer is `{"text"}`, read as `LoweringDraft` in `encode.rs`, held in `score_round`'s locals and scored once; it is never put in `run.cc`, a `RoundRecord`, a `Decision` or `EditFeedback`. A round has two answer phases (every encode prompt, then every lowering prompt), all or nothing: while any prompt is unanswered `packets.cc` is discarded and nothing reaches `run.cc`. `lower::lower` and the template table leave the loop (they remain `weksa lower`'s; follow-up `table-retirement`), so an entry an edit adds can be said and a cycle can buy a gain. One source pin remains: `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` covers `context.rs`, `split.rs` and `lower.rs` (`RunRecord` key 7 and `RoundRecord` key 3 are retired). The run's record pins `LowererReach` (`weksa loop open --lowerer-reach briefed-subagent|tool-less-relay`, `RunRecord` key 12) and every printed round and cycle line says it; a briefed-subagent run says its numbers are smoke-round only (rulings `lowerer-call-reach-toolless-relay`, `dao-round-seed-inventory`). A lowering is refused at `Lower` when blank, over `MAX_LOWERING_BYTES` (4096) or holding a control character other than a line break or tab; `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` also covers `packet.rs`. Not here: per-item lowering text documents (`golf-loop-score-docs`), the subprocess adapter. Waits on 7c.
 7. `golf-loop-en` (7b and 7c landed the round, `ModelPort`, encoder prompt, template digest, round records and the edit-accept cycle; the rest remains): the packet store bound to one inventory store everywhere (`packet-store-inventory-binding`), a subprocess adapter, Score documents, `weksa score` in the loop, the detached unit on Yggdrasil. Waits on 3, 5, 6 and follow-up `claude-on-yggdrasil`.
 8. `style-axis`: a style-embedding score behind the scorer port. Waits on 3.

@@ -406,6 +406,56 @@ of 1120 trials, NoGain 71%, Regressed 0%: a net gain of 0.079 against a mean
 noise term of 0.079. At 14 items per language the rule is therefore a low-power
 filter for a gain of this size; by 1/sqrt(n), about 35 or more items per
 language would bring the noise term near 0.05 (an extrapolation, not measured).
+### Validation growth plan (`validation-growth`, not built)
+
+Power needs about 35 or more Validation items per language (14 now). The
+corpus is `data/original`: model-written original prose for Train and
+Validation (written to be non-memorised; public domain text was rejected for
+them), eight public-domain sentences per language for Test with full
+provenance. The split is derived from an item's group alone
+(`SplitScheme::V1`: FNV-1a of `weksa-split-v1:<group>` mod 100, under 40 Train,
+under 80 Validation, else Test; a model-written item in a Test group is in no
+split), and every item so far is its own group (`original-<noun>`). Growth is
+therefore: about 21 new model-written items per language, each its own new
+group, the group name chosen before the text is written (the bucket is then a
+property of the name, not of the text), keeping names whose bucket is
+Validation, with source `ModelWritten` (family, generator, prompt digest),
+a speaker and a Scene as the existing items have, and the inventory and
+ontology beds unchanged for the measure. No Test text is read by the writer:
+the writer's prompt holds a noun list, the register note and the language,
+never a Test sentence or `weksa corpus dump` output.
+Costs and hazards, all real: (a) the corpus digest changes, so a run record
+pins a new corpus and every calibration number above is redone on it (eight
+prompted draws of 35 items per language, about 2.5 times the 14-item cost);
+(b) the inventory was drafted with Validation informing it (ja inventory rev
+5), so fresh Validation items also measure inventory coverage, and some
+will refuse at encode (counted 0) until concepts are added, which is a result,
+not a defect; (c) the writer and the lowerers are one model family, so a
+lowerer may be favoured by its own prose (self-preference, Panickssery et al.
+2024); a cross-family writer for the new Validation items removes that
+(question `validation-growth-writer`).
+Not built here because the writer fork is open, the scenes and entities for
+~42 items are a real authoring cut, and the digest change invalidates the
+runs in flight.
+
+### Smallest measurable distil slice (`distil-incontext`, not built)
+
+Distil is a tuned lowerer measured against the prompted one; the tuned model
+needs a host (follow-up `distil-host-question-owed`). The smallest slice that
+measures whether Train pairs buy a gain with the rule that exists is
+training-free: an in-context arm, the prompted lowerer given Train
+(packet, text) pairs as few-shot examples, answered through the one prompt door
+and read by `loop relower` against three prompted repeats. Parts: 12b's
+Train-only export (follow-up `distil-export-at-freeze`, guarded against Test
+text) as the few-shot source; the arm's directory of answers; the existing
+floor and verdict. A weaker version ran on 14 items: a lowerer shown the 28
+Train sentences (no packets) beat the prompted draws in both languages and the
+rule Accepted it in 29% of 1120 trials. The slice is decisive only with the
+Validation growth above: at 14 items it can only fail to reject. It decides the
+fine-tune question in one direction: if in-context Train pairs do not clear the
+floor at 35 items, a tuned model's gain over the prompted one is not
+measurable with this corpus either.
+
 Training pairs are Train only, at a frozen revision; the export is 12b.
 
 ## Lowerer first cut (`golf-loop-lowerer-cut`)

@@ -406,37 +406,44 @@ of 1120 trials, NoGain 71%, Regressed 0%: a net gain of 0.079 against a mean
 noise term of 0.079. At 14 items per language the rule is therefore a low-power

-group, the group name chosen before the text is written (the bucket is then a
-property of the name, not of the text), keeping names whose bucket is

-ontology beds unchanged for the measure. No Test text is read by the writer:
-the writer's prompt holds a noun list, the register note and the language,
-never a Test sentence or `weksa corpus dump` output.
-Costs and hazards, all real: (a) the corpus digest changes, so a run record
-pins a new corpus and every calibration number above is redone on it (eight
-prompted draws of 35 items per language, about 2.5 times the 14-item cost);
-(b) the inventory was drafted with Validation informing it (ja inventory rev
-5), so fresh Validation items also measure inventory coverage, and some
-will refuse at encode (counted 0) until concepts are added, which is a result,
-not a defect; (c) the writer and the lowerers are one model family, so a
-lowerer may be favoured by its own prose (self-preference, Panickssery et al.
-2024); a cross-family writer for the new Validation items removes that
-(question `validation-growth-writer`).
-Not built here because the writer fork is open, the scenes and entities for
-~42 items are a real authoring cut, and the digest change invalidates the

+Power needs about 35 or more Validation items per language. `data/original`
+now holds 35 per language (it held 14; Train 14 and Test 8 are unchanged):
+42 model-written items, `item:vgrow:1..21` (en-US) and `item:vgrow-ja:1..21`
+(ja-JP), live Train+Validation 56 to 98. The slug is new on purpose: the
+`item:original:` prefix filter of `DIGEST_OF_THE_28` still selects the first 28
+and passes; `DIGEST_OF_THE_42` freezes the new prose.
+
+The split is derived from an item's group alone (`SplitScheme::V1`: FNV-1a of
+`weksa-split-v1:<group>` mod 100, under 40 Train, under 80 Validation, else
+Test). The names were chosen before any text existed: 90 candidate nouns per
+language, dropped by script when the group already existed or the noun
+occurred in a Test text, then the first 24 whose bucket fell in 40..=79 (the
+bucket came from `SplitScheme::V1` itself, cross-checked on the 72 existing
+items). Each language was written by three blind writer agents (8 nouns each,
+a brief of language, register note, noun and speech act, no Test text and no
+existing item), 24 texts per language written, the first 21 in name order
+admitted through `weksa corpus add`; each group is its own group. The scenes
+are `weksa scene put` documents (keeper to `unnamed`, inventory rev 4),
+annotated by a separate agent; a second annotator measured agreement only and
+is not committed.
+
+The writer is Claude (family Anthropic recorded): no cross-family generator was

+
+Recalibration on the grown corpus (`runs/growth-base`, main 44b66f9, panel
+en-US and ja-JP, round 1 recorded by briefed subagents; 6 prompted draws
+including the recorded one, 2 mild degradations, an all-"Yes." control and 4
+Train-guide draws by Claude sonnet-5-5; the same decision rule at FLOOR_Z 3 and
+3-arm floors; 120 prompted trials from the 30 ordered pairs of 6 draws with the
+other 4 as floor candidates, so trials share draws and are not independent).
+Soul pass `cut-validation-growth.s3` re-derived every number below; its
+findings shaped the wording.
+
+- Live Validation items: 28 en-US and 32 ja-JP of 35 each; 10 are refused at
+  parse (en-US original:18, 23, 25, 27 and vgrow:4, 5, 6; ja-JP original-ja:17,
+  22 and vgrow-ja:2); `relower` skips an item with no packet, so every reading
+  here is over live items only. Old 14: 10 en-US and 12 ja-JP live; new 21: 18
+  and 20.
+- Prompted repeat: NoGain 96.7%, Accepted 3.3%, Regressed 0% (14 items: 92 / 0 /
+  8). All four false accepts are one pair, base p6 and candidate the recorded
+  lowering R: R comes from the round, the other five draws from `relower`, and
+  in en-US R scores +0.024 per item above them [+0.002, +0.052], so R is not
+  exchangeable with a repeat (a Plausible Soul finding, cause not isolated). No
+  false-accept bound can be drawn from 6 draws.
+- Degraded arms read Regressed: all-"Yes." 100% (as before); mild-1 31.7%;
+  mild-2 0% (14 items: 100% and 75% on a subtler arm). The mild arms are weak
+  and not independent: they were rewritten from R with one detail blurred, the
+  original wording is not on disk, mild-2 equals R word for word in 5 of 60
+  items and mild-1 in 2, and mild-1 equals mild-2 in 27 of 60 although they
+  were asked to blur different details. Their mean composite is 0.003 to 0.015
+  below the prompted mean (the old subtler arm: 0.037 and 0.052). The
+  sensitivity to a small regression is not re-measured.
+- Noise: the panel noise term of the sum rule is 0.045 on average over the base
+  and floor choices (0.031 to 0.064), against 0.079 at 14 items. The 1/sqrt(n)
+  forecast (about 0.05) assumed per-item variance stayed the same; it did not:
+  the per-item SD of the difference between two prompted draws is about 0.085
+  on the old items and 0.034 on the new ones, so the pooled term landed near
+  the forecast because less variable items were added. Not a confirmation of
+  the forecast.
+- Power: the Train-guide arm (14 Train sentences as a register guide) is
+  Accepted in 21.2% of 240 trials, NoGain 78.8%, against 29% at 14 items, and
+  its mean composite gain over the prompted draws is 0.0185, 0.41 of the mean
+  noise term (0.37 on the first floor choice per base); with `relower`-only
+  bases (R removed) it is Accepted in 35% (28 of 80). Split by item class
+  (paired bootstrap over items, 95%): old items +0.029 [+0.005, +0.052] (en-US
+  +0.049 [+0.023, +0.084] on 10 items, ja-JP +0.013 [-0.021, +0.037] on 12);
+  new items -0.002 [-0.011, +0.007] pooled, but two opposite effects: en-US
+  -0.017 [-0.027, -0.007] on 18 items and ja-JP +0.011 [+0.001, +0.022] on 20.
+  So the old-versus-new contrast exists in en-US; in ja-JP old (+0.013) and new
+  (+0.011) do not differ. Measured: the 14-item gain does not carry to the new
+  en-US items. Inferred, not isolated: that it was in-sample register fit. The
+  new items differ from the old in several ways at once (written free of the
+  inventory, longer, a different scene convention, lower scores, a smaller
+  vocabulary overlap with Train in en-US: 0.29 against 0.52) and were briefed to
+  the same register as Train, by Claude as the old were. The 29% power figure
+  stays the stated baseline of the 14-item corpus; no better arm is known on
+  the new items, so the rule's power against a real gain is not re-measured.
+- The two classes are different strata (Soul s2 `register-stratum-shift`): the
+  new items score lower (composite 0.41 against 0.64 pooled) so a pooled
+  60-item mean mixes them; report old and new separately.
+- The self-preference effect is not measured (ruling
+  `validation-growth-writer-claude-checked`). The new scenes use a different
+  `in_group` convention from the old ones (follow-up
+  `vgrow-scene-in-group-convention`), so the new-item scores are for scenes that
+  will be re-annotated; the corpus digest changes again then.
+
+Evidence lives in the Self workspace (`cal2/`, `runs/growth-base`), not in git,
+and uses a DUMP patch kept out of the repo; no committed harness reruns these
+numbers (Soul finding `evidence-outside-git`, follow-up owed).

+# Scene annotation
+
+How the keeper scenes of `data/original/speaker-state.cc` are labelled. A scene
+label has a committed rule that produced it; this file is that rule.
+
+## Why
+
+Two findings forced a written rule.
+
+- `annotation-rank-from-register`: an annotator who reads the line's register
+  (politeness forms, honorifics, endings) to decide the speaker's rank hands the
+  lowering its own answer back, because register is what the lowering must
+  produce from the scene.
+- The addressee gate (`with_scene` in `crates/weksa/src/validate.rs`): a scene is
+  read only when the packet names a discourse addressee. A line that addresses no
+  one reads `NoAddressee` and no Scene entry selects, so labels on narration are
+  inert and the only labels that bite are those on lines said to someone.
+
+The earlier labels followed two briefs that were never committed and that
+disagreed with each other (the relation to the reader, and a situation read with
+the register ignored). The rubric below replaces both for every live group.
+
+## Provenance
+
+Cut `weksa-lowering:cut_spec:cut-scene-in-group.r1`, ruling
+`weksa-lowering:ruling:scene-rubric-whole-bed`: all 98 live Train and Validation
+groups of `data/original` receive a new scene revision from annotator A under
+rubric r1, generator `claude-sonnet-5-5 (Weksa Hands, scene rubric r1,
+docs/scene-annotation.md)`. Earlier revisions stay as provenance. The rubric uses
+no corpus line as an example on purpose: a labelled example would make the blind
+check against the old labels circular.
+
+A later rubric revision gets a new section and a new generator string; r1 is
+never edited.
+
+## Rubric r1
+
+The speaker of every line is the keeper, a quiet caretaker of a house and garden. First decide whether the line addresses a listener: it asks them something, asks them to do something, tells them about themselves, wishes something for them, or speaks to them as you. A line that addresses no one (narration, description, a remark about the world or about other people, a thought or wish with no one addressed) is told to the reader, a stranger: answer addressed false, relative_status level, intimacy 500, in_group false. People named inside a line are not its listener.
+
+For a line that addresses a listener, answer addressed true and judge the keeper's relation to that listener from the situation the line states or implies, never from its register: politeness forms, honorifics, sentence endings, contractions, please and casual particles are what the lowering must produce from the scene, so they cannot decide it. relative_status: above when the situation gives the keeper standing over the listener (instructing, advising or permitting as elder, host, employer or teacher); below when it gives the listener standing over the keeper (the keeper serves, thanks, or asks a favour of a guest, employer, elder or official); level when it shows neither.
+
+intimacy, 0 to 1000: 500 when the line shows nothing; up to 800 when it shows shared daily life (the listener's body, sleep or habits, the household's routine); above 800 only for a stated close bond; down to 200 for a stated first meeting or a service relation. in_group: true only when the line shows the listener belongs to the keeper's household, family or working circle, stated or plainly implied; a request, a question or a kind wish alone is not enough; otherwise false. Answer one JSON line per group, in the order given and nothing else: {"group": G, "addressed": true|false, "relative_status": S, "intimacy": N, "in_group": true|false}.
+
+## Procedure
+
+- Annotator A (committed) and annotator B (measurement only) are separate fresh
+  model agents, one pair per language (49 live groups each). Each sees only the
+  text of Rubric r1 above and that language's sentences as `group<TAB>"text"`,
+  shuffled by a fixed seed. Neither sees an existing scene, the other annotator's
+  answer, the ontology, which items are old or new, or any Test text.
+- An output that does not parse or misses a group is re-drawn once and logged.
+- A's labels are written with `weksa scene put` (one revision per group,
+  `--to unnamed --inventory-rev 4`). `addressed` is not stored: no Scene feature
+  carries it.
+- Disagreements are reported, never adjudicated.
+
+## Agreement at r1 (this cut, 98 live groups, 49 per language)
+
+Four fresh agents drew the labels (A-en, A-ja, B-en, B-ja); the briefs were the
+rubric section plus one language's shuffled sentences (SHA-256 of the brief
+bodies: en-US `db087476...dbc04e`, ja-JP `c5b81b27...97488c`; no Test text in
+either). No draw was repeated. Annotator model: `claude-sonnet-5-5`.
+
+A against B (B measures only): pooled `addressed` equal 96/98 (kappa 0.96),
+`in_group` equal 93/98 (kappa 0.79), `relative_status` equal 89/98, intimacy
+within 150 on 98/98. en-US: addressed 47/49, in_group 47/49 (0.86),
+relative_status 45/49. ja-JP: addressed 49/49, in_group 46/49 (0.64),
+relative_status 44/49.
+
+Blind check, A against the 56 older labels: `relative_status` equal 49/56,
+`in_group` equal 53/56 (kappa 0.64), intimacy within 150 on 55/56. Three
+in_group differences: `original-ja-shimoyado-2` and `original-ja-sakana` (both
+narrations, true to false) and `original-ja-asa` (an instruction to a household
+member, false to true).
+
+In_group true across the 98: 42 before, 15 after; every unaddressed line is now
+false (it was true on 17 of the 21 unaddressed vgrow groups). Disagreements are
+reported, not adjudicated.
+
+## Reproducing the cut
+
+`scripts/scene-annotation/` holds the standard-library scripts of this cut, run
+from the repo root with `WEKSA` (the binary) and `SCENE_SCRATCH` (a directory
+that is never committed): `build_briefs.py` writes the two annotator briefs from
+the Rubric r1 section and prints each brief's Test-leak count (must be 0) and
+sha256 (it reproduces the briefs of this cut byte for byte); `put_labels.py`
+puts A's `A-en.jsonl` and `A-ja.jsonl`; `agreement.py` prints the tables above and
+must run before the puts, against the store at 76fa685, because the older labels
+are then its latest revisions (it also reads the round-1 encoder answers of
+`runs/growth-base` through `ROUND1`). `DIGEST_OF_THE_RUBRIC` and
+`DIGEST_OF_THE_EARLIER_SCENES` in `crates/weksa/tests/original_corpus.rs` pin the
+rubric text and the 113 earlier revisions.
+
+## Known limits of r1 labels
+
+Found by Soul's pass on this cut (`weksa-lowering:verdict:cut-scene-in-group.s1`).
+They are not fixed in r1; a reviewer's pass over the labels is follow-up
+`weksa-lowering:follow_up:scene-labels-reader-review`.
+
+- The new labels change which ontology entries are selected for 37 groups. Eight
+  addressed lines move onto the casual in-group entries (en-US:12: lantern,
+  broom, mirror, seedling; ja-JP:12: furo, asa, irori, yurikago), while their
+  references are polite requests. The reader default (level, 500, false) is
+  exactly the condition of ja-JP:11.
+- `relative_status` tracks request form for some lines: imperatives read above,
+  favour questions read level or below, so the same household request gets
+  different standing in two forms (hane above/650/true, kabin below/500/false;
+  B gave both level/false). Form is what signals the speech act, which is what
+  part 2 asks for, and register is what part 2 forbids.
+- `in_group` is true on some requests alone (lantern, mulch, stool, hane) and on
+  a line whose only family member is named inside it (original-ja-ane), though r1
+  says a request or a person named inside the line is not enough. A and B
+  agreeing does not clear this.
+- A run opened on the old speaker-state refuses to continue after merge:
+  `runs/growth-base` pins the store of `/var/lib/mind-weksa-self/Weksa-growth`
+  (main), and that checkout must not be pulled while the run is wanted.

+# Calibrating the accept rule
+
+`weksa loop calibrate` measures how the live accept rule behaves on a run's own
+Validation corpus: how often it accepts, rejects as no gain, or regresses a
+candidate that should be none of those. It does not reimplement the rule. It
+reads the answered draws through `RunStores::read_draws` (the scoring
+`weksa loop relower` uses), decides every trial with `decide_panel` over
+`paired_floor` (`crates/weksa/src/run.rs`), and prints, per class, the items
+read and skipped per language, the trial totals with their Accepted, NoGain and
+Regressed counts, and the mean panel noise. That is all it produces: the
+Accepted/NoGain/Regressed counts and the noise mean in the map's "Recalibration
+on the grown corpus" block are reproduced by it; the other figures there (the
+35% with R removed, the noise range, the 0.0185 gain and its 0.41 ratio, the
+bootstrap intervals, the per-item SDs, R's +0.024, the mild-arm duplicate
+counts and mean composite offsets, the Train-vocabulary overlap, the old/new
+class composites and the ten parse-refused item ids) were computed by scratch scripts that are not in the repo. It is a
+diagnostic: it records nothing, writes no prompts, and never touches Test or
+Train.
+
+## What it counts
+
+The draws are lowerings of one round's Validation packets: the round's own
+(recorded) lowering `R`, plus draws you label. `P` is `R` and the `--prompted`
+draws; the floor size is `FLOOR_ARMS_MIN` (3), the live rule's.
+
+- Prompted trials: every ordered pair (base, candidate) in `P`, against every
+  3-subset of the rest of `P` as the floor. A repeat of the same lowering
+  should read NoGain; Accepted is a false accept, Regressed a false reject.
+  (`R` comes from the round, not from `relower`, so it may not be
+  exchangeable with a repeat; read the pairs that involve it with that in mind.)
+- Degraded trials, per `--degraded` arm: every base in `P` against every
+  3-subset of the rest of `P`, the degraded draw as the candidate. These should
+  read Regressed.
+- Candidate trials, pooled over the `--candidate` arms: the same, tallied
+  Accepted, NoGain, Regressed. This is the rule's power against that arm.
+- Noise: the mean `panel_noise` over every (base, floor) choice.
+
+With six prompted draws including `R` that is 120 prompted trials, 60 per
+degraded arm and 240 candidate trials. Trials share draws and are not
+independent. Each count is printed for `all` Validation items and for each
+`--class NAME=PREFIX[,PREFIX...]` (items whose key starts with any prefix), from
+the same per-item scores. A class with fewer than two read items in a language
+has no floor and reads Regressed in every trial; that is printed.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. `weksa loop open ROOT ...` and `weksa loop round ROOT` record round N and
+   leave its answers in `ROOT/round-N/`.
+2. For each draw label: `weksa loop relower ROOT --round N --arm LABEL
+   --lowerer NAME` writes the byte-identical lowering prompts to
+   `ROOT/relower-N-LABEL/<digest>.prompt` and exits 3. Answer each prompt into
+   `ROOT/relower-N-LABEL/<digest>.answer`.
+3. `weksa loop calibrate ROOT --round N --prompted p1 --prompted p2 ...
+   [--degraded LABEL]... [--candidate LABEL]... [--class NAME=PREFIX]...`.
+   At least four `--prompted` labels are needed (a pair and three floors with
+   `R` make five draws). It exits 1 and lists `unanswered LABEL COUNT` for any
+   draw with prompts still unanswered. Labels match `[a-z0-9-]{1,32}` and differ
+   across the three kinds. It needs the Ollama embedder of the run; a full
+   60-item, 13-draw calibration is on the order of 1500 embedded texts, so
+   launch it detached with a log.
+
+The scratch packet store is `ROOT/calibrate-N/base.cc`; delete it at will.
+
+## Answer file format
+
+`<digest>.answer` is one JSON object and nothing else, no code fence:
+`{"text": "..."}`, a JSON-escaped string. The answerer reads only the prompt
+(its first line says what to write) and writes the answer. Every prompt of the
+draw must be answered.
+
+## Briefs per arm
+
+Independence rule: a fresh agent per batch of answers; no batch sees another
+draw's answers. Only `mild` reads `round-N/*.answer`.
+
+- Plain prompted: answer each prompt as its own first line asks; read nothing
+  else in the run root.
+- Mild: for each prompt, read the recorded lowering in
+  `ROOT/round-N/<digest>.answer` and write the same-format answer whose text is
+  that utterance with exactly one meaning detail blurred: change or drop one of
+  tense, polarity, modality or hedge, a referent, a quantity or a predicate's
+  concept (replace it with a near but different word). Keep language, register,
+  length and fluency; the result must read as a natural utterance and must not
+  mention the change. Pick the detail that is not the most salient one. A
+  second mild draw blurs a different detail than the first and is written
+  without reading the first's answers. The wording of the distil-base original
+  is lost, and the dispatch used for growth-base is not on disk, so this is the
+  wording from now on. Warning: on growth-base two mild arms briefed this way
+  came out identical in 27 of 60 items, so independently briefed mild arms
+  are not independent degradations; read a mild draw's regress count with that
+  in mind.
+- Train-guide: before answering, read the Train sentences of the corpus in the
+  batch's language as a register guide and let it steer word choice; the guide
+  gives phrasing only and each answer must still say exactly what its own packet
+  says. The guide section is the live Train items of that language, built from
+  `weksa corpus dump` filtered to Train, and is given to the answerer in the
+  brief, never pasted into this document, and never includes Validation or Test
+  text. Read nothing else in the run root.
+- Control: a script writes `{"text":"Yes."}` as the answer to every prompt.

+- Every one of the 11 false accepts has R as the candidate (bases

+  bound 4.5%). R scores above the other prompted draws (+0.012 en-US and +0.023
+  ja-JP on all items), so R is not exchangeable with a repeat.
+- The old/new split of the false-accept lives only in the 20 trials where R is

+  (Clopper-Pearson); by base 3 of 5 against 0 of 5 (Fisher p 0.17). The
+  10/120 against 0/120 comparison treats dependent trials as independent. The
+  claim that the new items drive the prompted false-accept is not supported;
+  the old items' larger noise term (2.4 times) raises their threshold, which
+  alone can produce the gap.
+- Mild arms: they overlap 8 of 35 answers (en-US) and 9 (ja-JP) over the limit
+  of 7. They do not degrade the new items (composite -0.004 en-US
+  [-0.021, +0.012], +0.013 ja-JP); the Regressed counts come from the old

+  and h4 0 of 60. The 35% pooled figure is not a power.
+

+# Prior art and plan
+
+Meta asked (#weksa, 2026-11-13) for scaffolding to stand on instead of
+building from base principles. This is a survey of what exists and a plan that
+borrows it. Every source below was read in full text unless marked **snippet**
+(seen only in a search result) or **not read**. Research only: nothing here is
+built, and no new loop machinery is proposed.
+
+## What exists
+
+**Semantic backbones: none carries the part we care about.**
+
+- AMR ([Banarescu 2013](https://aclanthology.org/W13-2322.pdf)): no politeness,
+  speech-act or pragmatics text at all; it also does not distinguish real from
+  hypothetical events (its Section 4).
+- UMR ([Van Gysel 2021](https://par.nsf.gov/servlets/purl/10288269)): adds
+  document-level coreference, temporal and modal-dependency graphs. The paper
+  has no politeness, addressee or register layer; the only speaker-like object
+  is the author node. Annotation agreement was still "awaiting confirmation".
+- Universal Dependencies: the `Polite` feature has four values (`Infm`, `Form`,
+  `Elev`, `Humb`; [feature page](https://universaldependencies.org/u/feat/Polite.html)),
+  but the Japanese GSD treebank carries no `Polite`
+  ([treebank page](https://universaldependencies.org/treebanks/ja_gsd/index.html)).
+  The page says Japanese *teineigo* shares the value `Form` with formal register
+  although it is a different axis. UD is a parse scheme, not a meaning scheme.
+- Grammatical Framework RGL: 38 languages, Japanese present
+  ([synopsis](https://www.grammaticalframework.org/lib/doc/synopsis/index.html),
+  [status](https://www.grammaticalframework.org/lib/doc/status.html)); the source
+  declares `Style = Plain | Resp`, so two politeness levels and no honorific
+  paradigm
+  ([ResJpn.gf](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/master/src/japanese/ResJpn.gf)).
+  LGPL/BSD, application grammars may take any licence
+  ([LICENSE](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/master/LICENSE)).
+- Abstract Wikipedia / Wikifunctions: encyclopedic content, 2026 soft launch in
+  three languages, no politeness
+  ([Meta page](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia)). The
+  Wikifunctions NLG and Japanese documentation were **not read**.
+
+**Typology.**
+
+- WALS (CC BY 4.0, CLDF at <https://github.com/cldf-datasets/wals>): the only
+  politeness feature is 45A, pronoun politeness
+  ([chapter](https://wals.info/chapter/45)); Japanese is coded value 4 ([datapoint](https://wals.info/valuesets/45A-jpn)), pronoun
+  avoidance. No feature for verbal honorifics or register.
+- Grambank (CC BY 4.0, <https://github.com/grambank/grambank>): GB415 is the
+  second-person politeness distinction; I found no verbal-honorific feature
+  (loose name match, not exhaustive). The 195-feature / 2,467-variety size is
+  **snippet**; Japanese's GB415 value was **not looked up**.
+
+**Formality control in MT: the closest prior art, and it is a sentence-level
+label.**
+
+- [Sennrich 2016](https://aclanthology.org/N16-1005.pdf): a side-constraint
+  token controls T/V; forced-polite output was 96% polite or neutral.
+- [Feely 2019](https://aclanthology.org/D19-5203.pdf): the same for EN-JA with
+  three levels (informal, polite, formal); labels by rule plus a fastText
+  classifier (F1 0.83-0.86 on 150 hand-labelled sentences); formal text is only
+  0.7-1.6% of training data.
+- [CoCoA-MT](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.04022) (CDLA-Sharing-1.0, repo
+  <https://github.com/amazon-science/contrastive-controlled-mt>): 1,000 train and
+  600 test segments for Japanese with contrastive formal/informal references and
+  phrase-level markers. Two baseline systems' EN-JA outputs, labelled by
+  professionals, came out formal 29.0% / 73.8% and "other" about 20-24%; EN-JA
+  inter-annotator agreement 0.82, the lowest of the six languages.
+- [Marrese-Taylor 2023](https://aclanthology.org/2023.wmt-1.49.pdf): GPT-3 and
+  ChatGPT prompted reach about 90% formality-control accuracy on EN-JA, which
+  the authors say beats fine-tuned MT; classifier and data at
+  <https://github.com/epochx/japanese-formality> (no licence reported).
+- [IWSLT 2023 formality track](https://aclanthology.org/2023.iwslt-1.1.pdf): no
+  Japanese; metrics matched-accuracy (phrase markers) and classifier-accuracy.
+  Niu 2017 is read ([D17-1299](https://aclanthology.org/D17-1299.pdf)); Niu 2019
+  and Rippeth 2022 (arXiv 2205.06644, abstract only) are **not read**.
+- None of these takes a speaker-state or addressee relation. The label is one
+  bit or three levels attached to a source sentence.
+
+**Grammar-in-context (for conlang targets).**
+
+- [MTOB](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.16575) (MIT code, CC BY 4.0 grammar book):
+  Claude 2 with word list plus retrieved sentences plus long grammar 44.7 / 45.8
+  chrF against a human learner at 51.6 / 57.0.
+- [Aycock 2025](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.19151): most of the gain comes
+  from the book's parallel examples (Gemini-1.5-Flash eng->kgv chrF++ 30.8 with
+  examples only against 34.4 whole book and 11.0 zero-shot; explanations alone
+  22.6). Kalamang is a natural language, so transfer to a conlang is assumed.
+- [Gemini 1.5 report](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.05530): full book 5.46 against a
+  human learner's 5.52 on a 0-6 human scale.
+  Suggests, for a conlang target (assumed to transfer), worked paired examples first and grammar
+  prose second.
+
+**Prompt optimisation and evaluation.**
+
+- [DSPy](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.03714) (MIT), [MIPRO](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.11695),
+  [OPRO](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.03409) (Apache-2.0): DSPy compiles take
+  "10-20 trials over 150-300 validation examples"; MIPRO's task sets run from 75
+  train (Iris) to 500 per task. MIPRO found bootstrapped demos gave the biggest
+  gain and tests with Wilcoxon over 5 runs. OPRO discusses overfitting to the
+  training set.
+- [Koehn 2004](https://aclanthology.org/W04-3250.pdf): paired bootstrap;
+  against a 30,000-sentence reference, a 2.0-point BLEU gap was detected at 95%
+  significance in 31% of runs at n=100 and 65% at n=300; a 5.1-point gap in 97%
+  at n=100. The paper suggests n=100 might be too small.
+- [Dror 2018](https://aclanthology.org/P18-1128.pdf): paired bootstrap is
+  "less effective for small test sets"; approximate randomization has been used
+  for test sets above 20 points; only 3 of 110 surveyed ACL 2017 papers
+  corrected for multiple comparisons.
+- [Kocmi 2021](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.10821): pairwise accuracy against
+  humans COMET 83.4, BLEURT 80.0, chrF 75.6, BLEU 74.6; recommends COMET
+  primary, a string metric secondary and a paired test; observes "a slight drop
+  in metric ranks for some pretrained metric" against ChrF for non-Latin and
+  logogram targets and says more analysis would be required.
+- [chrF](https://aclanthology.org/W15-3049.pdf): validated on seven targets, Japanese
+  not among them.
+
+## What we borrow
+
+| Need | Borrow | Instead of |
+|---|---|---|
+| Politeness vocabulary for the packet's register field | UD `Polite` values (Infm, Form, Elev, Humb) as the label set, and Feely's three-level Japanese split | inventing level names |
+| Modal/author structure | UMR's conceiver and modal-dependency idea for evidence/stance fields | a bespoke modality scheme |
+| Japanese test of register | CoCoA-MT JA set (600 contrastive test segments, phrase markers), KeiCO for relation-labelled Japanese, and the Japanese-formality classifier | hand-written register references only |
+| Conlang scaffolding | MTOB recipe: worked paired examples first, word list, grammar prose after (shown on Kalamang, a natural language; transfer to a conlang is an assumption) | long grammar prompts alone |
+| Typology priors | WALS 45A and Grambank GB415 to seed which targets have a politeness axis | per-language guesses |
+| Significance | paired approximate randomization over items; chrF with an embedding metric | reading small differences as results |
+| Optimiser | DSPy/MIPRO only once a scoring set of at least 75 items exists (MIPRO's smallest task), more for stable compiles; the 35-item sets are below that | the golf loop growing a private optimiser |
+
+We do not adopt AMR, UMR, UD or GF as the packet. None represents the speaker's
+relation to the addressee, which the packet's scene state does. The packet stays
+ours; it borrows vocabulary.
+
+## What is actually new
+
+Prior work already conditions honorific choice on the speaker-addressee
+relation or status in narrower forms: KeiCO (Liu and Kobayashi 2022, 10,007
+examples, annotates the speaker-listener social relationship; read through
+Marrese-Taylor 2023 and the abstract), Korean context-aware NMT that infers the
+relation from surrounding sentences
+([MDPI](https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/10/13/1589), snippet), Brown-Levinson
+generation that takes power and distance as parameters (Walker et al., not
+read), and a 2026 translator given a known addressee
+([Cihlar et al.](https://aclanthology.org/2026.iaai-1.3), snippet only). What I
+did not find is the whole chain: persona state (status, restraint, stance) to a
+register decision for an LLM lowerer, measured against a prompted baseline.
+That is the claim, and it is relative to what I searched; closer work may
+exist.
+
+Uncontrolled commercial MT left 20-24% of EN-JA outputs inconsistent in
+register (CoCoA-MT Table 4, two generic systems, no formality instruction). That
+shows register is unstable without control, not how a prompted LLM behaves.
+
+## Smallest end-to-end slice
+
+One path, existing machinery, ja-JP only, no new loop:
+
+1. A packet with scene state (speaker, addressee, relation) goes through the
+   current `weksa loop` encode and lowering to Japanese.
+2. The same packet under two relations (to a superior and to an intimate) must
+   produce the two UD `Polite` levels; check with the Japanese formality
+   classifier plus a native-reader pass on the 35-item Validation corpus per
+   language (see the map's recalibration blocks).
+3. Score the register decision as a classification (matched accuracy), not only
+   chrF. CoCoA-MT's JA references give an outside check on the classifier, a
+   weak one: its reference-based segment classifier on EN-JA had precision
+   0.71 and 0.69 and recall 0.43 and 0.54 in the paper's Table 5.
+
+Out of scope for the slice: conlang targets, optimisers, a second language.
+
+## What good enough means
+
+- Register accuracy: report matched accuracy for ours and for a plain prompt
+  that is given the relation in words, on the same items, with paired
+  intervals. We measure that baseline ourselves; Marrese-Taylor's roughly 90%
+  is classifier accuracy (0.83-0.86 by phrase-marker matching) for binary
+  formal/informal control with the label named in the prompt, an upper-region
+  reference and not our baseline. The claim is non-inferiority with a stated
+  margin. Superiority is claimed only if enough items are discordant (about 6
+  or more, all in one direction, at n=35); against a baseline near 90%, n=35
+  cannot show it, and the result is then "not detected".
+- Meaning is not lost: chrF and meaning cosine are not detectably below the
+  plain prompt on the same items, under the same paired test.
+- Honest sample size: 35 items per language detects only large gaps, so results
+  carry intervals and "not detected" stands as an outcome. Small gaps are not
+  claims. Koehn's figures are for sentence-level BLEU on 100-3000-sentence
+  blocks and do not transfer to a binary register metric on 35 items; power
+  for that is computed directly from the discordant-pair count.
+- A native-reader check on register for a sample, because every automatic metric
+  here was validated on languages other than the persona register we care about.
+
+## Open
+
+- Which persona fields (status, restraint, stance) are in the packet today
+  versus planned: this doc does not decide that; `docs/interlingua-standard.md`
+  owns it.
+- Licences not checked: the UMR dataset, the other four Japanese UD treebanks,
+  CoCoA-MT repo licence ambiguity (paper says CDLA-Sharing-1.0, GitHub says
+  NOASSERTION).

 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). Library only; since 7b `TrainItems::from_corpus` and `EncoderOffer::for_round` are crate-private and `RunStores` is their one public producer. 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`, a second pin on `lower.rs` retired in 7d, 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.
 7c. `golf-loop-edit-accept` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-edit-accept`): one edit-accept cycle. The run works on its own copy of the inventory (`create` copies the caller's file to `<root>/inventory.cc`, refusing a root that already holds a file of that name, 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 (never under one `LADDER_STEP`; from cut `cycle-floor-paired` the paired floor over rounds 1 to `FLOOR_ARMS_MIN` + 1, so a cycle needs four recorded rounds, where 7c measured the spread between rounds 1 and 2). 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). Waits on 7b.
-7d. `golf-loop-model-lowerer` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-model-lowerer`): the round lowers through the `ModelPort`. `Prompt::lower` (`context.rs`) takes a `LoweringInput` (no text, key, group or speaker getter), the inventory at the view's revision and the en-US entity forms, and prints `LOWER_INSTRUCTIONS`, the meaning of the packet, the entities line and the inventory listing; the item key goes only to `item_keys`. The answer is `{"text"}`, read as `LoweringDraft` in `encode.rs`, held in `score_round`'s locals and scored once; it is never put in `run.cc`, a `RoundRecord`, a `Decision` or `EditFeedback`. A round has two answer phases (every encode prompt, then every lowering prompt), all or nothing: while any prompt is unanswered `packets.cc` is discarded and nothing reaches `run.cc`. `lower::lower` and the template table leave the loop (they remain `weksa lower`'s; follow-up `table-retirement`), so an entry an edit adds can be said and a cycle can buy a gain. One source pin remains: `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` covers `context.rs`, `split.rs` and `lower.rs` (`RunRecord` key 7 and `RoundRecord` key 3 are retired). The run's record pins `LowererReach` (`weksa loop open --lowerer-reach briefed-subagent|tool-less-relay`, `RunRecord` key 12) and every printed round and cycle line says it; a briefed-subagent run says its numbers are smoke-round only (rulings `lowerer-call-reach-toolless-relay`, `dao-round-seed-inventory`). A lowering is refused at `Lower` when blank, over `MAX_LOWERING_BYTES` (4096) or holding a control character other than a line break or tab; `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` also covers `packet.rs`. Not here: per-item lowering text documents (`golf-loop-score-docs`), the subprocess adapter. Waits on 7c.
+7d. `golf-loop-model-lowerer` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-model-lowerer`): the round lowers through the `ModelPort`. `Prompt::lower` (`context.rs`) takes a `LoweringInput` (no text, key, group or speaker getter), the item's speaker id, the inventory at the view's revision and the item language's entity forms, and prints `LOWER_INSTRUCTIONS`, the meaning of the packet, the entities line and the inventory listing; the item key goes only to `item_keys`, and the speaker id is stripped: a referent citing the item's speaker is printed with no entity, and the speaker has no line in the entities map and is never looked up (a speaker the language has no form for does not refuse; a speaker named in the text cannot be named by the lowerer). The answer is `{"text"}`, read as `LoweringDraft` in `encode.rs`, held in `score_round`'s locals and scored once; it is never put in `run.cc`, a `RoundRecord`, a `Decision` or `EditFeedback`.

 7. `golf-loop-en` (7b and 7c landed the round, `ModelPort`, encoder prompt, template digest, round records and the edit-accept cycle; the rest remains): the packet store bound to one inventory store everywhere (`packet-store-inventory-binding`), a subprocess adapter, Score documents, `weksa score` in the loop, the detached unit on Yggdrasil. Waits on 3, 5, 6 and follow-up `claude-on-yggdrasil`.
 8. `style-axis`: a style-embedding score behind the scorer port. Waits on 3.
 9. `ja-panel`: ja-JP into the loop's panel, in two cuts on `e9cbd9b`. 9a `ja-panel-loop` (spec r1): language is the item's and the panel the run's: `Prompt::lower` takes the item's language and prints it on a language line (no prompt names English), entity forms are read in that language, `RunRecord` pins the panel (`weksa loop open --panel`), offers, mint and recall read only panel items, round means, floors and readings are per panel language, the accept rule runs `decide` per language, the recall split works on unspaced scripts, and `weksa corpus add` has no default language. 9b `ja-panel-corpus` (spec r1, after 9a): the ja-JP slice of `data/original`, model-written Japanese Train and Validation passages and eight Aozora Bunko public-domain Test sentences with full provenance, and their entities. Cut 5 is not a prerequisite: neither language lowers with ontology entries until cut 5 gives both theirs.

 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). Library only; since 7b `TrainItems::from_corpus` and `EncoderOffer::for_round` are crate-private and `RunStores` is their one public producer. 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`, a second pin on `lower.rs` retired in 7d, 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.
 7c. `golf-loop-edit-accept` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-edit-accept`): one edit-accept cycle. The run works on its own copy of the inventory (`create` copies the caller's file to `<root>/inventory.cc`, refusing a root that already holds a file of that name, 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 (never under one `LADDER_STEP`; from cut `cycle-floor-paired` the paired floor over rounds 1 to `FLOOR_ARMS_MIN` + 1, so a cycle needs four recorded rounds, where 7c measured the spread between rounds 1 and 2). 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). Waits on 7b.
-7d. `golf-loop-model-lowerer` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-model-lowerer`): the round lowers through the `ModelPort`. `Prompt::lower` (`context.rs`) takes a `LoweringInput` (no text, key, group or speaker getter), the item's speaker id, the inventory at the view's revision and the item language's entity forms, and prints `LOWER_INSTRUCTIONS`, the meaning of the packet, the entities line and the inventory listing; the item key goes only to `item_keys`, and the speaker id is stripped: a referent citing the item's speaker is printed with no entity, and the speaker has no line in the entities map and is never looked up (a speaker the language has no form for does not refuse; a speaker named in the text cannot be named by the lowerer). The answer is `{"text"}`, read as `LoweringDraft` in `encode.rs`, held in `score_round`'s locals and scored once; it is never put in `run.cc`, a `RoundRecord`, a `Decision` or `EditFeedback`. A round has two answer phases (every encode prompt, then every lowering prompt), all or nothing: while any prompt is unanswered `packets.cc` is discarded and nothing reaches `run.cc`. `lower::lower` and the template table leave the loop (they remain `weksa lower`'s; follow-up `table-retirement`), so an entry an edit adds can be said and a cycle can buy a gain. One source pin remains: `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` covers `context.rs`, `split.rs` and `lower.rs` (`RunRecord` key 7 and `RoundRecord` key 3 are retired). The run's record pins `LowererReach` (`weksa loop open --lowerer-reach briefed-subagent|tool-less-relay`, `RunRecord` key 12) and every printed round and cycle line says it; a briefed-subagent run says its numbers are smoke-round only (rulings `lowerer-call-reach-toolless-relay`, `dao-round-seed-inventory`). A lowering is refused at `Lower` when blank, over `MAX_LOWERING_BYTES` (4096) or holding a control character other than a line break or tab; `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` also covers `packet.rs`. Not here: per-item lowering text documents (`golf-loop-score-docs`), the subprocess adapter. Waits on 7c.

The promise guards the id that names an entity of this item; the speaker's forms and the role token do print, because forms are shared by every item of the language (follow-up `speaker-alias-token-in-lowering-prompt`, which restored the lowerer's ability to name its speaker after #84 removed it). A speaker the language has no form for, or the port lacks, does not refuse: its referents print no entity and the map has no entry. A referent citing the real id `entity:speaker` is refused (`LowerError::SpeakerTokenTaken`); the entity store does not reserve it. The answer is `{"text"}`, read as `LoweringDraft` in `encode.rs`, held in `score_round`'s locals and scored once; it is never put in `run.cc`, a `RoundRecord`, a `Decision` or `EditFeedback`.

Not here: per-item lowering text documents (`golf-loop-score-docs`), the subprocess adapter. Waits on 7c.
 7. `golf-loop-en` (7b and 7c landed the round, `ModelPort`, encoder prompt, template digest, round records and the edit-accept cycle; the rest remains): the packet store bound to one inventory store everywhere (`packet-store-inventory-binding`), a subprocess adapter, Score documents, `weksa score` in the loop, the detached unit on Yggdrasil. Waits on 3, 5, 6 and follow-up `claude-on-yggdrasil`.
 8. `style-axis`: a style-embedding score behind the scorer port. Waits on 3.
 9. `ja-panel`: ja-JP into the loop's panel, in two cuts on `e9cbd9b`. 9a `ja-panel-loop` (spec r1): language is the item's and the panel the run's: `Prompt::lower` takes the item's language and prints it on a language line (no prompt names English), entity forms are read in that language, `RunRecord` pins the panel (`weksa loop open --panel`), offers, mint and recall read only panel items, round means, floors and readings are per panel language, the accept rule runs `decide` per language, the recall split works on unspaced scripts, and `weksa corpus add` has no default language. 9b `ja-panel-corpus` (spec r1, after 9a): the ja-JP slice of `data/original`, model-written Japanese Train and Validation passages and eight Aozora Bunko public-domain Test sentences with full provenance, and their entities. Cut 5 is not a prerequisite: neither language lowers with ontology entries until cut 5 gives both theirs.

+# Project Gutenberg terms: bulk access and header stripping
+
+Read 2026-11-13 for follow-up `gutenberg-terms` (campaign `weksa-lowering`),
+ahead of cut `pd-importer`. Pages: gutenberg.org `policy/permission.html`,
+`policy/terms_of_use.html`, `policy/robot_access.html`, `policy/license.html`.
+The quotes were checked against the live HTML of each page by a second reader.
+`pd-importer`'s Imagination re-reads the pages before it fixes a fetch path,
+since they change.
+
+## Findings
+
+- **Automated access to the main site is refused.** Terms of Use: "This website
+  is intended for human users only"; "Any perceived use of automated tools to
+  access this website will result in a temporary or permanent block". OPDS
+  feeds: no more requests than a browser user would make; heavy requesters are
+  blocked by IP.
+- **Bulk has two sanctioned paths.** Terms of Use: take bulk downloads "from
+  one of our mirrors, not from the main site". The robot-access page names the
+  `robot/harvest` wget endpoint (`-w 2`, filterable by file type or language)
+  and recommends a private mirror for a full local copy; it suggests checking
+  periodically for changes. Catalog data are offered as
+  machine-readable offline catalogs, "granted to the public domain".
+- **Header and licence stripping.** Licence section 1.C: for a work not
+  protected by US copyright, with the user in the US, the Foundation does "not
+  claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
+  displaying or creating derivative works", "as long as all references to
+  Project Gutenberg are removed", the condition holding for a user in the US.
+  Section 1.E opens "Unless you have removed all references to Project
+  Gutenberg", and 1.E.1 to 1.E.7 (including 1.E.4, do not detach the licence)
+  attach to a work on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears or with which
+  it is associated, so a text with every reference removed is outside 1.E.
+  1.E.2 is not that grant: it says a PG eBook derived from texts not restricted
+  by US copyright may be copied and distributed in the US without fee. The
+  trademark is registered; non-commercial use of the name needs no permission,
+  commercial use does.
+- **No statement on machine learning or AI use** on any of the four pages.
+- **US public domain only.** The Foundation makes no claim about copyright
+  outside the US (1.D). A work free in the US may not be free elsewhere, and
+  Gutenberg's own catalog is not a per-work clearance.
+
+## What this decides for `pd-importer`
+
+- Fetch from a mirror or an offline dump. The Terms of Use footnote counts "many
+  books" as more than about 100 a day and sends those to mirrors, while
+  `robot/harvest` is a `www.gutenberg.org` URL: use it (with `-w 2`) only for a
+  handful of works. Never crawl `gutenberg.org` pages or OPDS from the loop host.
+- Strip the whole header and footer, every Project Gutenberg reference and the
+  licence text from the stored text; keep provenance as the ebook number and
+  edition in the item's source field, which is Weksa's own record and not a use
+  of the mark. This is the path `docs/targets/dao-de-jing-test-bed.md` already
+  takes. The remaining open question there, what counts as a "reference", stays
+  open: the safe reading is that the ebook number in a provenance field is a
+  catalogue identifier, not a reference inside the work, but nothing read here
+  rules on it.
+- Per-work check stays with the importer: the work's author and first
+  publication date against US public-domain rules, recorded on the item. The
+  Foundation's catalogue does not supply it. A work Gutenberg posts with the
+  copyright holder's permission (1.E.3) is out of scope.
+- No importer code in this note.

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.
-7c. `golf-loop-edit-accept` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-edit-accept`): one edit-accept cycle. The run works on its own copy of the inventory (`create` copies the caller's file to `<root>/inventory.cc`, refusing a root that already holds a file of that name, 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 (never under one `LADDER_STEP`; from cut `cycle-floor-paired` the paired floor over rounds 1 to `FLOOR_ARMS_MIN` + 1, so a cycle needs four recorded rounds, where 7c measured the spread between rounds 1 and 2). 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).

Waits on 7b.
 7d. `golf-loop-model-lowerer` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-model-lowerer`): the round lowers through the `ModelPort`. `Prompt::lower` (`context.rs`) takes a `LoweringInput` (no text, key, group or speaker getter), the item's speaker id, the inventory at the view's revision and the item language's entity forms, and prints `LOWER_INSTRUCTIONS`, the meaning of the packet, the entities line and the inventory listing; the item key goes only to `item_keys`, and the speaker id never prints: a referent citing the item's speaker holds the fixed token `entity:speaker` (`SPEAKER_TOKEN`, a constant the same for every speaker and item, never derived from an id) and the entities map holds the speaker's forms under that token. The promise guards the id that names an entity of this item; the speaker's forms and the role token do print, because forms are shared by every item of the language (follow-up `speaker-alias-token-in-lowering-prompt`, which restored the lowerer's ability to name its speaker after #84 removed it). A speaker the language has no form for, or the port lacks, does not refuse: its referents print no entity and the map has no entry. A referent citing the real id `entity:speaker` is refused (`LowerError::SpeakerTokenTaken`); the entity store does not reserve it. The answer is `{"text"}`, read as `LoweringDraft` in `encode.rs`, held in `score_round`'s locals and scored once; it is never put in `run.cc`, a `RoundRecord`, a `Decision` or `EditFeedback`. A round has two answer phases (every encode prompt, then every lowering prompt), all or nothing: while any prompt is unanswered `packets.cc` is discarded and nothing reaches `run.cc`. `lower::lower` and the template table leave the loop (they remain `weksa lower`'s; follow-up `table-retirement`), so an entry an edit adds can be said and a cycle can buy a gain. One source pin remains: `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` covers `context.rs`, `split.rs` and `lower.rs` (`RunRecord` key 7 and `RoundRecord` key 3 are retired). The run's record pins `LowererReach` (`weksa loop open --lowerer-reach briefed-subagent|tool-less-relay`, `RunRecord` key 12) and every printed round and cycle line says it; a briefed-subagent run says its numbers are smoke-round only (rulings `lowerer-call-reach-toolless-relay`, `dao-round-seed-inventory`). A lowering is refused at `Lower` when blank, over `MAX_LOWERING_BYTES` (4096) or holding a control character other than a line break or tab; `PROMPT_SOURCE_DIGEST` also covers `packet.rs`. Not here: per-item lowering text documents (`golf-loop-score-docs`), the subprocess adapter. Waits on 7c.
-7. `golf-loop-en` (7b and 7c landed the round, `ModelPort`, encoder prompt, template digest, round records and the edit-accept cycle; the rest remains): the packet store bound to one inventory store everywhere (`packet-store-inventory-binding`), a subprocess adapter, Score documents, `weksa score` in the loop, the detached unit on Yggdrasil. Waits on 3, 5, 6 and follow-up `claude-on-yggdrasil`.
+7. `golf-loop-en` (7b, 7c and 7d landed the round, `ModelPort` with `AnswerFiles`, encoder and lowering prompts, template digest, round records and the edit-accept cycle; the rest remains): the packet store bound to one inventory store everywhere (`packet-store-inventory-binding`), Score documents (`golf-loop-score-docs`, `golf-loop-score-documents`), the accept rule (`golf-loop-accept-rule`), the checkpoint door and freeze merge (`golf-loop-checkpoint-door-bound`, `golf-loop-freeze-merge`). No subprocess adapter and no detached unit: `golf-loop-in-claude` and `encoder-isolation-subagent-per-prompt` rule them out. Waits on 3, 5 and 6.
 8. `style-axis`: a style-embedding score behind the scorer port. Waits on 3.
 9. `ja-panel`: ja-JP into the loop's panel, in two cuts on `e9cbd9b`. 9a `ja-panel-loop` (spec r1): language is the item's and the panel the run's: `Prompt::lower` takes the item's language and prints it on a language line (no prompt names English), entity forms are read in that language, `RunRecord` pins the panel (`weksa loop open --panel`), offers, mint and recall read only panel items, round means, floors and readings are per panel language, the accept rule runs `decide` per language, the recall split works on unspaced scripts, and `weksa corpus add` has no default language. 9b `ja-panel-corpus` (spec r1, after 9a): the ja-JP slice of `data/original`, model-written Japanese Train and Validation passages and eight Aozora Bunko public-domain Test sentences with full provenance, and their entities. Cut 5 is not a prerequisite: neither language lowers with ontology entries until cut 5 gives both theirs.
 10. `conlang-lexicon`: the first conlang's lexicon placed at concept embeddings, its morphology data, its ontology entries and the gloss reader. Waits on 3, 5 and question `first-conlang`.

+# Name-span annotation
+
+How the name spans of an imported public-domain work are placed. A span has a
+committed rule that produced it; this file is that rule.
+
+## Why
+
+- `pd-annotation-model-then-attest`: a labelled model places the spans of a
+  public-domain work; the operator may attest them afterwards.
+- `leak-owned-by-flow-and-scorer-3`: spans are fixed with the text at intake and
+  written by no loop writer. The offsets are derived from markup the annotator
+  writes, never typed by a model (inline marking, as in GPT-NER, Wang et al.
+  2023); `CorpusStore::add` judges range, grapheme boundary, form equality and
+  overlap.
+
+The work file (`weksa corpus import <work>`) is a transcription of a work in
+hand: provenance, cast forms, lines, scene groups and the speaker each speech
+prefix names. It holds no distributor header, licence or trademark text, and the
+binary fetches nothing.
+
+## Rubric r1
+
+You are given a work's cast: each member's entity id and the forms the work spells that member with. For each numbered line, copy the line exactly, character for character, and wrap each place where the line names a cast member by one of that member's listed forms as [[<entity id>|<form>]]. Mark a form only where it refers to that cast member; a listed form used as an ordinary word, or naming someone else, stays unmarked. Do not mark pronouns, titles or descriptions unless the exact text is a listed form. When a form is listed for two members, mark the one the line refers to; when you cannot tell, leave it unmarked. Answer one JSON line per input line, in the order given, and nothing else: {"line": N, "marked": "..."}.
+
+## Procedure
+
+- One fresh model agent per work. Its brief is rubric r1, the cast as
+  `<entity id>: <form>, <form>` lines and the work's lines as `<n><TAB><text>`;
+  nothing else (no store, no loop, no other answer).
+- Import with `--model-family` and `--generator '<annotator model id> (name-span
+  rubric r1, docs/name-span-annotation.md)'`. An operator-written or
+  operator-reviewed answer imports with `--operator`.
+- Import is all or nothing: every entity and item passes the real store doors on
+  scratch copies before the first write, so a refusal (a parse failure, a span
+  the store judges, a work that repeats a line under case or width folding)
+  leaves the stores untouched. Re-draw the whole answer once, log it, and import
+  again. A work file repeating a line's text is refused naming both lines; leave
+  that line out of the answer file (the rest imports with its numbering intact),
+  since a repeated line cannot be two corpus items.
+- A line the answer does not cover is not imported by that run; a later run over
+  other lines of the work does not collide (keys are `item:<slug>:<n>`).
+- A line whose own text holds `[[` or `]]` cannot be marked and is refused; it
+  can still enter by hand through `weksa corpus add --name`.
+
+## Label scope
+
+`names_by` labels the spans only, not the line or its speaker. One label per
+item: a later attestation would be a superseding item with the same text and
+group, but no command writes one yet; question `pd-name-span-attestation` owns
+that door.
+`None` means unrecorded (the cast seeds, `weksa corpus add`, the Dao De Jing
+bed), not attested.

 | 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 (from cut `ja-panel-loop`: one set per language of the run's panel, no pooled mean), per-item Validation scores in corpus order (key 22, numbers only, no item key or text, private to `run.rs` for the paired floor of the cycle (rounds 1 to 4) and of relower; a run from before has none and opens), 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`) |

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`), no metric falls past max(its floor, one step), the composite does not fall past max(its floor, one step), and a non-finite reading rejects (the one regression test, `run::regression`); differences compared in billionths so a gain of exactly one step is a tie. From cut `ja-panel-loop` the readings, floor and threshold are kept per panel language and `run::regression` runs per language and is the one regression test (`decide` adds the gain test for a one-language panel): any language regressing rejects (verdicts `regressed-chrf`, `regressed-meaning`, `regressed-composite`), otherwise a one-language panel accepts as `decide` does and a panel of two or more accepts when the sum of composite deltas exceeds one `LADDER_STEP` (billionths). Given up: strict Pareto non-regression; a language may lose up to its own noise floor if the panel nets more than a step, because zero tolerance ratchets every base to a favourable noise draw and strangles the loop. Termination: each accept raises the composite sum by more than a step and composites lie in -0.5 to 1, so a run accepts at most 1.5 * languages / `LADDER_STEP` edits |

Lost until 5c': keigo, hierarchy and uchi-soto hang on the scene relation from 5c', so ja-JP politeness is still the lowerer's guess. 5c' `language-ontology-scene` (spec r1, after 5b): the run pins the `SpeakerStateStore` (keys 17 and 18, `Drift(SpeakerState)`), `RunStores::assembled` is the one door that reads the item's scene into a loop view, `select` reads slot `Scene`, `Prompt::lower` refuses a view whose scene was never read, `weksa scene put|dump` and `weksa inventory speaker-scene` (rev 4 in data/original and data/daodejing, rev 3 in data/interlingua, which holds no Dao revision), Model-annotated keeper scenes and Scene-conditioned entries for `data/original`. 5c `language-ontology-view-assembly` (follow-up, now only the Speaker read): `select` widens to slot `Speaker`; waits on `speaker-scene-seeds`. 5d `language-ontology-communities` (follow-up): `weksa.community` built fresh (`data/cultural-ontology/` is deleted by 5e), community ids on `weksa.speaker`, community conditions; waits on 5c and question `persona-speech-community-home`.
 5e. `delete-cultural-ontology` (steward ruling, 2026-11-13): `data/cultural-ontology/` (five draft YAML profile files and a README; `old-norse-edda-source-tradition.yaml` did not parse) deleted. Nothing in `crates/`, tests, scripts or CI read it; `examples/persona-lowering/brokkr-edda-voice/` cites its paths as text only (the one test that reads that example reads `lowered-output.yaml`). The typed `weksa.community` of follow-up `language-ontology-communities` is built fresh under cut 5; follow-up `edda-referent-yaml-parse` is moot.
 6. `pd-importer`: public-domain play and fiction dialogue into the corpus with speaker, scene group, edition provenance, and Speaker and Scene annotations by the ruled annotator. Waits on 4, follow-up `gutenberg-terms` and question `pd-speaker-annotation`.
+6a. `pd-name-spans` (spec r1): `weksa corpus import <work> <names>` mints a work's cast as `PublicDomain` entities with forms in the work's language and adds each line a name-span answer covers, speaker from the work file, spans from `[[entity|form]]` markup, labelled `names_by` (Model or Operator) per `docs/name-span-annotation.md`. Speaker and Scene documents, prior turns and fiction speaker attribution stay with 6.
 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). Library only; since 7b `TrainItems::from_corpus` and `EncoderOffer::for_round` are crate-private and `RunStores` is their one public producer. 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`, a second pin on `lower.rs` retired in 7d, 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.
 7c. `golf-loop-edit-accept` (spec r1; branch `weksa-lowering/golf-loop-edit-accept`): one edit-accept cycle. The run works on its own copy of the inventory (`create` copies the caller's file to `<root>/inventory.cc`, refusing a root that already holds a file of that name, 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 (never under one `LADDER_STEP`; from cut `cycle-floor-paired` the paired floor over rounds 1 to `FLOOR_ARMS_MIN` + 1, so a cycle needs four recorded rounds, where 7c measured the spread between rounds 1 and 2). 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 (landed as 7d: until then an entry an edit added had no lowering row). Waits on 7b.
