The pin/hint removal's COUNT OVER TIME is a deliverable in its own right: the post-100% chart, the story's spine, a wiki
page, and the day-one rule the decomp-architect kit should carry. It is only ever counted by the phase that removes it, so
it has to be captured while the work happens — a census is a moment.
- docs/levers.md: the taxonomy (A pins · B1-B4 barriers/launders/keep-alives/hand-placed instructions · B5 GTE, not a
lever · C volatile · D bare register · E asm-label aliases · F builtins · G attributes); a GENERATED §2; how the levers
got in phase by phase (P18's pin toolkit took the wave close-rate 33% -> 56% -> 90%; the family engine then copied every
lever across up to 134 overlays, which is why 1,758 distinct bodies are 12,578); the ladder with each rung's measured
yield; §5 the prevent-vs-defer argument; §6 what the wiki, the kit and the story each take.
- tools/lever_progress.py: --snapshot appends a milestone row (the census's totals by class + HEAD) to
docs/lever-progress.tsv and re-renders the document; the campaign table is derived from the de-lever ledger on every
render and scored as state TRANSITIONS, so the rung that FINISHES a body gets the credit (counting first-rows-only
reported rung R's 134-body batch as zero); --check refuses a series that is not this tree's.
- the numbers, generated: 21,061 sites removed or rewritten across 17,119 bodies against 33,957 still standing — 38% of
the class A/B population came off with no understanding at all, which is the evidence behind §5's rule:
BAN THE SILENCE, NOT THE LEVER (a lever is allowed and is a marked, ledgered, published debt from the first bank, with a
one-compile bank-time trial; never block the byte gate on it).
- Reference-index row (doc_links OK), SETUP row, tool dictionary row, CURRENT_PHASE entry for the story.
- run 5 under BRIEF-run5.md (the D6 guardrails restated): ProjectArchitect 2.0 §1–§9 then the kit Steps 0–10, unattended from
answers.md; 4 trailer-free commits; stopped_at null; manifest 57 == 57 (docs/inherited-record.md included); G 67; seeds 34/34;
check-ignore 9/9 + 5/5; placeholder audit clean; the audit exits 0 in the throwaway; PhaseEnd_Phase0.5 + the archived log; tree
clean; settings/statusline/memory/ghidra/dumps/~/.claude guardrails unchanged
- the agent's notes, acted on: the installer named pa-overlays.md without its templates/ folder at Steps 6 and 8 → `$KIT/templates/…`;
its own write-scope slip (two staging files under /tmp, deleted) recorded; the manifest rule's silence on a file the installer
creates and deletes itself noted
- the judge: my run-5 BEFORE snapshot stripped the first porcelain line's status space and so failed to exclude a deletion under the
dry-run's own directory (the false flag of the first judge pass — re-filtered, not re-snapshotted); the judge's reader crashed on an
empty dirty set (a one-token line) → tolerated; run-4 evidence kept under the .run4 suffix
- wiki page (five dry-runs, the run-5 row), Home/Tools/README/SETUP rows: five runs
- 21 read-only Opus slices over the 26 worklogs (30,540 lines read; the three giants by line range), briefed by
.run/P33.5/log-mining/BRIEF.md with the "already banked?" grep protocol: 777 candidates, 634 already banked, 143 NEW;
every cited log line verified to exist by harvest.py and read; 142 banked + 1 dropped (the miner's own low-value verdict)
- decomp-kernels.md: twelve kernels DK-69–DK-80 (instrument blind spots; verdict staleness + the health suite; what earns
belief; denominators/units/labels; leverage vs tractability + campaign scoping; models and prompts; the unattended run;
agents and the tree; edits that keep proofs; the search harness + the compiler as evidence; maintaining the knowledge base;
hosts and services), each provenance line generated from the slices' cited worklog lines (bank.py); section 8 retitled;
Coverage "In all: DK-1 … DK-80"; every count mention → 80 (kit README, methodology, SETUP row, wiki page)
- docs/accelerators.md "P33.5 S92" (two accelerators: a distillation ships with a coverage check; the end-of-project worklog
pass recovers the fixed-but-never-generalised lessons — 1 in 5 here) → cited by the twelve kernels (kit_coverage: 59 entries,
42 cited + 15 dispositioned, 0 UNCOVERED; the matcher now requires an un-numbered entry's FULL group text);
docs/decision-log.md "P33.5 S92" (R31: the question, the measurement, the pivot, the 82%/18% why, the hindsight path)
- evidence tracked under .run/P33.5/log-mining/ (BRIEF, 21 slice reports, HARVEST.md, HARVEST_TABLE.md, harvest.py, bank.py;
a dated .gitignore block); expected-manifest +1 (docs/inherited-record.md); make kit-corpus regenerated the record copies
- verify: tool_census --check OK (358 copies); kit_coverage OK; kit_lint OK (0 leaks over 436 files); doc_links --strict OK;
wiki_render --selftest 32/0; audit_public OK on the new files; 80 DK ids cited, 0 dangling
- decomp-architect/corpus/record/: the how-to (13), decision-log, accelerators, retrospective, story, wave-playbook, effort-map,
gen3-standards, gen3-handoff, DIGEST and every PhaseEnd (34) verbatim behind an authored front page (what each is, how to
read it, what is NOT there — the phase logs, R19 — and that the mining pass is their distillation); tool_census: RECORD_SOURCES
+ record_dest + the third corpus in plan/write/check (358 copies + 28 pointers, --check OK); kit_lint exempts corpus/record;
SETUP Step 6 gains 2c docs/inherited-record.md (+ the verify line; expected-manifest +1); ops-setup/README/tree/methodology/
wiki page/Home/Tools page/README bullet/SETUP row: "two dictionaries" → three
- tools/kit_coverage.py (+ config/kit_coverage_map.tsv): derives R1..R83 from DIGEST §3 (asserted contiguous) and the 58
accelerator entries (headings + numbered items), asserts each is cited by a provenance line of the registry seed / the
kernels or dispositioned (G / DK / FOLDED:G / ENV / PA / SEED: / KIT: / RECORD / COOKBOOK / NOT-PORTABLE; unknown ids
refused); first run: 26 uncited rules + 21 uncited entries → DK-66 (a ledger's tie-break, a checker's widening and a blanket
commit are part of the instrument — R70/R80/R52), DK-67 (the ignore file's directory-form wall — S91 (1)), DK-68 (a
summarised signal is a claim, not ground truth — R14/R66) in a new kernels section 8 (the museum is 9; "In all" 68) + 41
dispositions (15 PA, 3 ENV, folds into G6/G18/G38/G66/DK-12/19/20/22/25/26/31/35/44/45/46/57/61, 1 KIT template, 1 COOKBOOK);
now 0 UNCOVERED on both populations; wired into tools-health after tool_census --check; SETUP row + dictionary row

kit_lint OK; doc_links --strict OK; wiki_render --selftest 32 pages / 0 unlisted
- kit: DK-65 "types are a banking lever and a width lever, not a byte lever" (kernel, when, cost, calibration fence, provenance;
the kernels file now states its own total "In all: DK-1 … DK-65" and SETUP Step 6 compares grep -c against it instead of a typed
64); intake row 6's milestone gains the canonical type layer (one definition per shape, widths proven by the bytes at bank time,
a bank refused for a duplicate definition or a raw address cast) + the type tools moved forward + G62/DK-65 in its columns; row 10
reads "short if Part C and Phase 6's type layer held"; G62 extended with the bank-time clause (G1–G67 kept); tool_dictionary:
lift_types + canon_sig_reconcile P10 → P6 and the five type tools' need-keys name the type layer at Phase 6 (the phase column is
one token — the corpus dir derives from it); the cookbook front page's type-verdict sentence (a NAME never moves a byte, a WIDTH
or SIGNEDNESS is the one place a type does, the permuter cannot reach it); the methodology's "Types — the two-sided verdict"
paragraph; the kit README's table + tree now name the two dictionaries and layout-contract.md; make kit-corpus regenerated the
tool index, the MANIFEST and the corpora (302 copies + 28 pointers)
- wiki: docs/wiki/Start-a-new-decomp-project.md — the three steps, what it installs / does not (the two dictionaries), the ladder
(11 rows), the five AI-use rules, the six inversions (raw casts → declared symbols; DK-65), the compiler question, the accelerators
one line each (58 rows), the four dry-runs, how it is kept honest; sidebar + Home rows; Tools-from-this-project rows for the kit
and the tool index; README bullets for both; SETUP row for decomp-architect/ (R21); Where-the-project-goes-next links the page and
records the probe PASS (2026-09-07); phase34-seed: task 0 PASSED, the kit carried whole through the flip and split later
- verify: wiki_render --selftest 12/12 + reachability 32 pages / 0 unlisted; doc_links --strict 58 documents / 451 links / 0 pending /
