feat(pmu): intervene delegates out-of-lane QC to 🧪 laboratory (obvious) + gap analysis

The out-of-lane intervention now routes its QC to the laboratory room via bifurcate (rooms JSON + signed
mesh, NEVER a branch) — the SAME room spec-drift-check uses — and NAMES it obviously so it can be shored
up from the Fable end. Best-effort: no-op in a stranger's repo, delegates in ours.

+ docs/pmu/intervention-detection-gap-analysis.html — what detection/intervention do now, what spec-
building-FROM-the-lens could do (4 passes to close the 80/20), the contexts used (README-spec · commit ·
prior outcomes) vs UNUSED (reef · room goals · @guard specs · direction · annotations), and the 5 decision
forks. Thesis: spec quality is the root lever — poor spec ⇒ poor detection ⇒ poor intervention.

Guard: tests/pmu/intervene-delegates-to-room.test.mjs (laboratory · bifurcate · never a branch).

Originating-Terminal: 🔨 builder
Relevant-Rooms: 🧪 laboratory, 📐 architect, 🎩 operator
Story: Detection is only as good as the spec it measures against — the analysis sets the direction to build the spec from the lens, and the QC of that work is owned by laboratory.

what you're looking at: the whole map is your competence lattice — both edges are the same 144 ShortLex anchors (what you do × what you act on). Each lit cell is one place this commit said something (its message + docs) and did something (its code). Colour = whether saying and doing landed in the same lane.
green — in lane: you worked where you declared. This is the competence; more green is better.
amber — bleed: code touched a neighbour you didn't mention. A little is normal — nobody declares everything.
red — drift: code fired in an orthogonal lane (the surgeon doing plumbing) and enough of it to flip the aggregate. Red ≈ 0 is what good looks like.
the pink ring is this commit's coordinate — where its work actually concentrated on the lattice.
so, this commit: 226 green, 318 amber, 393 red → off-lane 42% against a 25% tolerance — ⚠ TOO MANY out-of-lane — drifting.

the verdict · commit 1c3cfefef
1 · did this commit drift?
YES — out of lane (42% orthogonal vs the 25% tolerance)
alarm too much reality fired in ORTHOGONAL lanes — the aggregate flip; this is the drift the instrument exists to catch · vs your last 10 commits: p45 of last 10 — normal for you lately
2 · can you trust that reading?
σ_drift 0.69 — WEAK
weak panel story is not yet evidence · vs your last 10: p100 of last 10 — normal for you lately · why low: usually a thin grip (only 18 reality vs 45 intent claims sensed) or a seed library not yet converged — low σ means "don't lean on the maps", NOT "the commit is bad"
3 · where does this commit live?
A,C1 Strategy × Operations·Grid → A1,B Strategy·Law × Tactics
read it as actor × patient: this commit is mostly Strategy × Operations·Grid work acting on Strategy·Law × Tactics (grip 0.750). this is the commit's COORDINATE — where the work lives — not a judgement; the panels below (◎ marks this cell) are what judge it · drift concentrates in lane B1 · Tactics·Speed — read that row on the TOLERANCE panel
next: read the maps as sketch, not evidence — converge the seed library before citing this · open the TOLERANCE panel and chase the red rows — undeclared work shipped
what this instrument measures: drift = what this commit SAID (message + docs) vs what it DID (code), sensed and walked on the chip — a deterministic read, not an LLM opinion. in reading order: ① the verdict (above) → ② the maps (the raw sense grids, then the leaf-walk clouds that bridge them, then DELTA/TOLERANCE judging the result) → ③ the numbers, contextualized (every value with band · verdict · percentile · what it leads to) → ④ expert detail, collapsed (attestation · receipts · timings · σ inputs).

A,C1 — Strategy × Operations·Grid (actor) acting on A1,B — Strategy·Law × Tactics (patient) · grip 0.750
actor seed A,C1 — Framing the strategy substrate involves a long-horizon view of the infrastructure grid and topology flow routes. Power flows where the grid lets it. Choose connections before topologies; the topology is what the connections compose, and a connection added later is a topology silently rewritten. Latency is geography expressed in milliseconds. The grid IS the map of where compute meets storage meets bandwidth; the map is the territory at the scale the request actually traverses. The lattice we build today is what next year's underwriter inherits. We set the substrate that downstream pricing rides on, and that choice is paid back across every quarter we keep operating. Direction is what you keep when you forget the calendar. Multi-year posture, irreversibly chosen, defines the boundary every quarter renegotiates inside. Strategy is the bearing the rotation is measured against. Capital lives where strategy is durable. Frame the ten-year shape of the business before optimizing the ten-week sprint; the substrate decisions compound while the surface decisions decay.
patient seed A1,B — Governance rules mandate a binding article that restricts which tactics and maneuver choices are legally permissible. 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. 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. 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. Tactics is the choice of which leverage to pull at which beat. Not what we want, but how the want lands on Tuesday: the sequence of irreversible commitments, each made before the next one's information is available. Speed of feedback dominates speed of execution. Tactics that converge fast beat tactics that compute long, because the loop closes around the world's response before the world has moved. The tactical map is a ranked list of moves where each move carries a cost-of-delay. Pick the move whose cost of doing it tomorrow exceeds the cost of doing it imperfectly today.

feat(pmu): intervene delegates out-of-lane QC to 🧪 laboratory (obvious) + gap analysis

The out-of-lane intervention now routes its QC to the laboratory room via bifurcate (rooms JSON + signed
mesh, NEVER a branch) — the SAME room spec-drift-check uses — and NAMES it obviously so it can be shored
up from the Fable end. Best-effort: no-op in a stranger's repo, delegates in ours.

+ docs/pmu/intervention-detection-gap-analysis.html — what detection/intervention do now, what spec-
building-FROM-the-lens could do (4 passes to close the 80/20), the contexts used (README-spec · commit ·
prior outcomes) vs UNUSED (reef · room goals · @guard specs · direction · annotations), and the 5 decision
forks. Thesis: spec quality is the root lever — poor spec ⇒ poor detection ⇒ poor intervention.

Guard: tests/pmu/intervene-delegates-to-room.test.mjs (laboratory · bifurcate · never a branch).

Originating-Terminal: 🔨 builder
Relevant-Rooms: 🧪 laboratory, 📐 architect, 🎩 operator
Story: Detection is only as good as the spec it measures against — the analysis sets the direction to build the spec from the lens, and the QC of that work is owned by laboratory.

③ the numbers, contextualized — value · band · verdict · percentile · what it leads to
shape-match σ · 0.69 weak p100 of last 10
panel story is not yet evidence → read the maps as sketch, not evidence — converge the seed library before citing this
good looks like: positive on an aligned commit (phantom P1: sigmaPositive) · ≥6 clears the trust floor · ≥8.5 verified-reef · 0–3 = panel story not yet evidence
tolerance (edge cells) · 226 green · 318 amber · 393 red · off-lane 42% alarm p45 of last 10
too much reality fired in ORTHOGONAL lanes — the aggregate flip; this is the drift the instrument exists to catch → open the TOLERANCE panel and chase the red rows — undeclared work shipped
good looks like: red ≈ 0 and orthogonal off-lane < 10% on an in-lane commit (phantom P1: redZero, offPctBelow 10) — a few amber is normal bleed
pre-walk overlap · 4% mostly-disjoint p95 of last 10
docs and code light different cells — normal for a code-heavy commit; the WALK is what bridges them → nothing to do — judge alignment by σ and the walk panels, not this raw overlap
good looks like: green overlap WITHOUT being a copy — near-100% is self-similarity (a docs-only read), not alignment
drift (XOR %) · 0.603% of compared cells disagree close p5 of last 10
intent and reality mostly agree cell-for-cell → nothing to chase
the walks (how the heatmaps were made) · intent 124 hops → ply 7 · reality 126 hops → ply 7 · 220ms inside-budget
both cascades ran to extinction inside the time budget — the read is complete · each hop = one real on-chip ballistic process; intent ended at C1,B1, reality at A3,A3 · B2,B1 · C1,A — the definers-of-definers the recursion concentrated on → the ply story in the panels is complete
good looks like: both sides finish inside the 2500ms budget; clouds concentrate at block-heads (the ShortLex-ascending follow), early plies heavy, deep plies faint
lattice fill · intent 917/20736 (4.4%) · reality 937/20736 (4.5%) walkable
a real, walkable lattice (~4% is the density target) — the walk had ground to cover → nothing to do
the ladder — what's climbing · weakest link first
→ weakest · intersection-specific words/tile (median) · 5 (over 144 tiles) → target 70 parent-echo distance 0.93 · author intersection-specific seeds (what does B,A3 say that NEITHER parent says alone?) — the single highest-leverage number in the system
σ_drift (commit panel, median last 10 non-docs-only) · -0.03 (n=10) → target 6 noise distance 1 · do not act on the panels — on a docs-only commit this is expected; otherwise fix the ingest and re-run
σ_response pass count · 32/144 → target 144 thin distance 0.78 · raise seed richness (the reef GDD loop) — pass count follows intersection-specific words
σ_localize (latest targeted edit) · 0.61 @ B3,B3 → target 6 chance distance 0.9 · iterate the ingest until the target zone owns its own edit — the brain-surgeon read does not yet hold
sweep coverage (deterministic top-rank hits) · 23/46 → target 46 majority distance 0.5 · chase the missing tiles in the sweep — each convert lifts σ_panel directly
seed orthogonality (distinct openings) · 143/144 → target 144 converging distance 0.01 · fix the few shared openings — tile-dump-inspect names them
σ_panel (joint rank certainty) · 10.63 → target 6 beyond-doubt distance 0 · cite the distribution-level claim (carry the independence caveat)
next move (picked by the system, not session memory): intersection-specific words/tile (median) is furthest from target weighted by leverage (5 (over 144 tiles) vs target 70 → distance 0.93 × leverage 1 = 0.93) — author intersection-specific seeds (what does B,A3 say that NEITHER parent says alone?) — the single highest-leverage number in the system
