feat(reorg): gate the coaching-app surfaces — the voice IS the gate criterion /dashboard /coaching /getting-started /onboarding-audio-explainer /profile /endorsement(s) /nominate /recognition /receptionist join /v0 behind Google login — preserved, never deleted. Guard extended in the same commit: gated set present, /voice stays anonymous (hard invariant), and the apex set (/pixel /blog /agent-year /brokers /pricing /manifesto /pay) asserted NEVER gated — the Coached button's /pay callback stays open. Revert = delete lines from one array.

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.

A1,A2 — Strategy·Law × Strategy·Goal (actor) acting on A3,A3 — Strategy·Fund × Strategy·Fund (patient) · grip 0.734
actor seed A1,A2 — Legal binding mandates and governance rules dictate how a quarterly goal position is occupied and secured. 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. The target is the cell coordinate the system MUST occupy by end-of-quarter. Anything that does not drive toward that coordinate is exhaust, and exhaust does not become substrate by being labelled progress. 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. Vision is the coordinate the lattice rotates around — the fixed bearing every iteration is measured against. Without the fixed point, motion is movement; with the fixed point, motion is convergence. 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. Define the goal as a verifiable predicate, not a feeling. The system terminates when the predicate evaluates true, and the predicate is what the next agent inherits when this one hands off. 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. A goal that cannot be tested is a wish. Wishes have no termination condition, so they consume budget forever; goals have a finish line and therefore a payable price.
patient seed A3,A3 — 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. 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. 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. 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.

feat(reorg): gate the coaching-app surfaces — the voice IS the gate criterion /dashboard /coaching /getting-started /onboarding-audio-explainer /profile /endorsement(s) /nominate /recognition /receptionist join /v0 behind Google login — preserved, never deleted. Guard extended in the same commit: gated set present, /voice stays anonymous (hard invariant), and the apex set (/pixel /blog /agent-year /brokers /pricing /manifesto /pay) asserted NEVER gated — the Coached button's /pay callback stays open. Revert = delete lines from one array. Originating-Terminal: 🔨 builder Relevant-Rooms: 🔨 builder, 🔒 vault, 🎩 operator Story: step 4 of the live reorg — everything that doesn't hold the plated register goes behind the gate; the public surface is now curated end to end. src/middleware.ts tests/reorg/v0-gate.test.js
③ the numbers, contextualized — value · band · verdict · percentile · what it leads to
shape-match σ · -1.37 noise p40 of last 10
below zero — this read is noise, not a measurement → do not act on the panels — on a docs-only commit this is expected; otherwise fix the ingest and re-run
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) · 447 green · 491 amber · 843 red · off-lane 47% alarm p75 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 · 1% mostly-disjoint p55 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 %) · 0.405% of compared cells disagree close p35 of last 10
intent and reality mostly agree cell-for-cell → nothing to chase
the walks (how the heatmaps were made) · intent 98 hops → ply 7 · reality 133 hops → ply 7 · 730ms 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 B3,C3 · C1,B1 · C2,C, reality at A2,B2 · A2,C3 · C1,B2 — 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 826/20736 (4%) · reality 1781/20736 (8.6%) 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) · -1.08 (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
