Banking the PROCESS idioms this session produced, which were sitting only in commit messages,
tool docstrings and the wave prompt — none of which a future session reads.
- §176a VERIFICATION-LAYER LAWS: match_one verifies SHAPE not SYMBOL IDENTITY (masks
jal/HI16/LO16 — a wrong callee or wrong global reports MATCH; func_8002A234 cost 5 gate
attempts); a detector is ADVISORY and the gate is the ARBITER (3 wave-G drafts withheld on
symfix flags all banked unchanged); a verifier that can pass WITHOUT BUILDING is worse than
none (stale-binary false pass); an all-zeros gate result is a NULL not a finding; and the
general rule — before believing a measurement, run the control that would make it FAIL.
- §176b BATCH-GATING MECHANICS: gate cost scales with (binary,TU) GROUPS not drafts; batched
drafts must agree with EACH OTHER (type conflicts, duplicate typedefs); compatibility compares
TYPE SIGNATURES ONLY but the declarator suffix matters (too-strict and too-coarse both bit me);
conflict-dropped drafts are recoverable via cast-at-use; a COMPILE error names its own culprit
so only a BYTE mismatch needs bisection.
- §176c MAIN CANNOT BE GATED INCREMENTALLY — psyq_integrate/ld_interleave rewrite the .ld;
byte-proven both ways including with NO draft substituted. Use tools/gate_main.py.
Agent-discovered matching idioms are being mined from all 14 wave journals in parallel and land
next as §176.
