Phase 9 closed at 400 distinct bodies / 409 regions (from 149/158), all gates green from clean: CMP_OK, SHA-1 e173426c157384ebf1b6caf8c6fea18a85a14af9, 229 tests, make gate c_regions=409 MATCH, extents-verify AGREE, worklist listed=1343 with excluded_already_registered=409, firewall 0, src/ 0 untracked. Milestone partially met (400 of 500): the blocker is recorded with per-class evidence (tier-1 tie-break domination, class disjointness, measured rate decay) per the plan's Or branch. PhaseEnd_Phase9.md, digest entry, and the ledger archive (logs/Phase9.md) written. docs/PHASE9_PROTOCOL.md (scale-run retrospective: queue fix, tier-2 pivot, family-set lever, rotation discipline, leading-indicator rule, measured budget), docs/PHASE9_VERIFICATION.md (all gates, incidents, class exclusions), cookbook findings 29-39, conventions additions, README updated to 400/409. Phase10_PLAN.md drafted (Goals A/B/C: tail squeeze vs library-boundary investigation, developer decisions enumerated) — requires explicit approval before any Phase 10 task; no Phase 10 work begins in this session.
