fix(pmu): story per-region narration OFF by default — keep the river fluid (banks, not a dam)

Operator: the drift-story knock-on was adding lag. Diagnosed: the receipt is LLM-free + detached
(~500ms, not the lag), but the STORY fired 8 qwen calls per commit (one per region) — a dam that
piled up under rapid commits and lagged the flow. The region LABELS + MEANINGS are already
deterministic + free (in the email + fed to the SINGLE overall story call, which walks them), so the
8 separate calls were redundant. Now: per-region narration is opt-in (STORY_PER_REGION=1); default is
ONE story call. The deterministic banks focus the narration; no 8-call dam. Rich content preserved.

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: 561 green, 850 amber, 0 red → off-lane 19% against a 25% tolerance — in lane, some bleed.

◎ the pixel this commit belongs to
C,C — Operations × Operations (actor) acting on A1,C3 — Strategy·Law × Operations·Flow (patient) · grip 0.750
actor seed C,C — Operations is the loop that runs whether anyone watches. The daily commit, the hourly hook, the per-request fingerprint — the substrate of the substrate, ambient and unwatched. Process is what you forget to do; ops is what does itself. Convert manual moves into ambient state, because the tax of remembering compounds faster than the tax of automating. The daily friction is the diff between your intent and your harness. Close the diff or pay the tax twice — once in the slip, once in the apology to the next agent. Operations earns its keep by being boring. The day the routine is interesting is the day it has already failed and is being narrated rather than executed.
patient seed A1,C3 — Compliance mandates establish the binding rule that regulates flow throughput and pipeline delivery rates. 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. 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. Flow is the rate at which committed work crosses the finish line. Inventory accumulates upstream; flow is the only thing the customer pays for, and the only thing the operator can measure honestly. Movement is the irreversible delivery of value across the boundary. Anything stationary is cost; anything moving is either revenue, deferred revenue, or the exhaust of revenue not yet realized. Throughput dominates utilization. A ninety-nine-percent utilized system at low throughput pays the same wages as a fifty-percent utilized system at twice the throughput, but the second one ships the customer's order. Flow has a direction. Bidirectional flow is two flows, each measured separately; calling them a single flow hides the chokepoint and the chokepoint is where the leverage lives.

commit context — 1 file(s)
fix(pmu): story per-region narration OFF by default — keep the river fluid (banks, not a dam)

Operator: the drift-story knock-on was adding lag. Diagnosed: the receipt is LLM-free + detached
(~500ms, not the lag), but the STORY fired 8 qwen calls per commit (one per region) — a dam that
piled up under rapid commits and lagged the flow. The region LABELS + MEANINGS are already
deterministic + free (in the email + fed to the SINGLE overall story call, which walks them), so the
8 separate calls were redundant. Now: per-region narration is opt-in (STORY_PER_REGION=1); default is
ONE story call. The deterministic banks focus the narration; no 8-call dam. Rich content preserved.

③ the numbers, contextualized — value · band · verdict · percentile · what it leads to
shape-match σ · 0.93 weak p60 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) · 561 green · 850 amber · 0 red · off-lane 19% bleeding p80 of last 10
some reality fired outside the declared lanes — amber bleed, below the alarm flip → glance at the TOLERANCE panel — amber clusters show where reality leaned out
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 · 3% mostly-disjoint p20 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 %) · 0.545% of compared cells disagree close p20 of last 10
intent and reality mostly agree cell-for-cell → nothing to chase
the walks (how the heatmaps were made) · intent 138 hops → ply 7 · reality 115 hops → ply 7 · 434ms 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 A3,C1 · B1,B2 · C1,C2, reality at A1,B1 · B1,A2 · C2,A1 — 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 1571/20736 (7.6%) · reality 1411/20736 (6.8%) 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) · -0.34 (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
