feat(pmu): EMAIL 2 — the STORY knock-on (LLM, after the LLM-free receipt)

The two-output contract (operator 2026-07-04): EMAIL 1 = the LLM-FREE deterministic receipt
(the delegation/drift receipt, unchanged, sent instantly, never blocked by a model); EMAIL 2 =
THE STORY, a SEPARATE detached knock-on fired AFTER the receipt where the on-board LLM does its
job on a second thread. Different tool, different email — never combined with the decidable panel.

The story carries the FULL context (so a weak story is the model's fault, never missing context):
- ALL the operator's USER-FACING PROMPTS in the commit's window (their words, not Claude's) —
  extracted from the transcripts; these ARE the real spec, synthesised against the commit.
- the FULL commit message.
- the SAME encircled competence-shape image the receipt shipped (via --dump-png regions.json).
- every lit-up region dragged out by CATEGORY × INTERSECTION coordinate + lattice MEANING, plus
  the per-region narration (narrateRegions — the story about every drift region), and an honest
  flag where the deeper sub-category label is missing (top-12 clear, 3 levels down the lens is thin).
- the REEF double-sent as a CONTEXT RECEIPT (proof the model saw all the rules).

commit-triptych spawns it detached + unref'd right after the receipt send (skipped on --no-story).
commit-triptych --dump-png now also writes regions.json (kind/coord/blockBox/meaning) so the story
reads the exact deterministic regions. Guard: tests/pmu-simulator/story-is-separate-knockon.test.mjs
(story after receipt · detached · receipt independent · prompts+regions+reef present · dump has regions).
Verified: email 2 sent for 9d7852777; receipt render deterministic (327g/629a/768r) + untouched.

commit 191e4212b — 144×144 lattice triptych (on-chip)

◎ the ingest chose A1,B1 — Strategy·Law × Tactics·Speed — acting on A3,B2 — Strategy·Fund × Tactics·Deal (grip 0.781) · the walk starts at the ACTOR's row · 3 file(s)

⏱ ingest 780.3ms (corpus→lattice) · definer walk 326ms (row→transpose→row, ballistic XOR per hop) · total 1367ms
ingest here = commit-scoped SENSING only (this commit's message + changed files → lit anchors) — deep seed authoring lives in the reef-self-loop, off the commit path

rows = ACTOR (lens) · cols = PATIENT (object) · diagonal = self-reference; ◎ at actor-row × patient-col — every panel, same orientation. Heat above the diagonal = actors ranking ShortLex-earlier than their patients (the walk follows definers uphill in rank).
The 12 canonical lanes (rows top→bottom, cols left→right): A·Strategy · B·Tactics · C·Operations · A1·Law · A2·Goal · A3·Fund · B1·Speed · B2·Deal · B3·Signal · C1·Grid · C2·Loop · C3·Flow

PAIR LATTICE (the map we normally see)

PRE-WALK SENSE · INTENT grid — the snapshot, no point of view

the no-point-of-view snapshot — what the sensor lit before any walk; the leaf walk below is what bridges the two grids

ABC A1–C3 A1A–O A2A–O A3A–O B1A–O B2A–O B3A–O C1A–N C2A–N C3A–N

PRE-WALK SENSE · REALITY grid — the snapshot, no point of view

the no-point-of-view snapshot, reality side — same sensor law

PRE-WALK Δ · straight comparison of the two ingested grids (green both · cyan intent-only · amber reality-only) · 1% overlap · ◎ = where the competence pixel sits in the raw overlap

good = green overlap without being a copy — near-100% is self-similarity, not alignment

◎ the pixel this commit belongs to

A1,B1 — Strategy·Law × Tactics·Speed (actor) acting on A3,B2 — Strategy·Fund × Tactics·Deal (patient) · grip 0.781

actor seed A1,B1 — Laws establish the binding mandate that sets the speed limits and tempo beats for compliance. EU AI Act Article 14 requires human-on-the-loop oversight, with the supervisor able to interrupt the system at any moment. Compliance attaches to the artifact the artifact cannot escape — provenance is a regulatory primitive, not a feature. Latency is the price of a missed beat. Every hundred milliseconds of round-trip turns a parallel race into a stalemate, because the first arrival sets the rules the second arrival has to honor. Constraints precede objectives. The cap-table, the license text, the consent envelope — each draws the inviolate line the action must respect, and the line is enforced before the optimization runs. Throughput compounds: doubling the rate doubles the surface area where serendipity can hit. A pipeline at twice the velocity is not twice as productive — it is exponentially more lucky. A rule names what the system MAY NOT do. If the agent can do X, then 'forbid X' is not the constraint — it is wishful thinking dressed as policy. Constraints live in the gate, not in the prompt. Time-to-first-byte is the only number the operator feels at the wheel. Optimize the felt latency before the raw throughput; the operator's grip on the loop is what drives the loop forward. Regulation is not advisory. The fine is the price tag stapled to the omitted control; insurance is the option pricing on the failure-mode the regulation already named. Velocity is irreversible. A delivery sent fast cannot be unsent slow; a release deployed cannot be undeployed at the same speed it was deployed. Speed buys position, and position is harder to surrender than to occupy.

patient seed A3,B2 — Sufficient capital funds provide the dollar floor needed to secure a favorable deal rate and exchange terms. Every dollar builds either the floor (substrate that lifts future bets) or the ceiling (cap on the next round). Allocation is which one this dollar chooses, and the choice is irreversible by the time the wire clears. The deal sets the exchange rate between two value substrates. Mis-priced exchange is a slow-bleed; correctly priced exchange compounds both sides, because each cycle of trade enriches the bench on both ends. Burn rate divides into substrate-building and exhaust. Substrate compounds; exhaust evaporates by quarter-end. The investor who pays for substrate is buying a different asset than the investor who pays for exhaust. Terms are the API between two organizations — every clause is a contract method that survives the handshake. Renegotiation is the breaking change; the deal is the stable interface either side can build against. Capital allocation is the irreversible vote — the bet that closes options to keep the others open. Each dollar deployed buys both the asset and the foreclosure of every alternative the dollar could have funded. Negotiation closes at the moment both parties' BATNAs cross. Push past that point and you've bought regret at retail; stop short and you've left margin on the table that the next deal will not return to you. The funding question is the runway question. Eighteen months at one burn rate is a different company than twelve months at a higher burn rate, even when the bank balance matches. A signed counterparty is more valuable than an unsigned promise. The signature is the substrate; the conversation that preceded it is the exhaust the signature converted into substrate.
