test(dinner): fix stale date guard — page locked forward to July 20, not July 16/15

The /dinner page's date/venue lock moved (Rockledge, Mon Jul 20, confirmed) after the
2026-07-06 backup/primary framing was retired, but the invariant test still asserted the
old July 16/15 pair — a real, currently-failing regression guard. Assert against the
"confirmed" state instead of a hardcoded date so the next lock-forward doesn't re-break it.

Story: Fired by the Phase 3 (Technical dinner window, Day 17-20) GCal C2 event; running the
dinner/gcal-agent/outreach test suite to confirm the pipeline is healthy before executing this
week's guest-fill work surfaced one real failure — a copy-invariant test that hadn't been
updated when the date moved from the tentative 7/15-16 jazz-week window to the confirmed
Rockledge/Jul 20 lock. Fixed in the same commit per the CODE DEFINITION-OF-DONE ratchet.

commit c7a4c6a2a — 144×144 lattice triptych (on-chip)

◎ the ingest chose B,B — Tactics × Tactics — acting on B3,C2 — Tactics·Signal × Operations·Loop (grip 0.750) · the walk starts at the ACTOR's row · 1 file(s)

⏱ ingest 505.5ms (corpus→lattice) · definer walk 1242ms (row→transpose→row, ballistic XOR per hop) · total 2337ms
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 Δ · straight comparison of the two ingested grids (green both · cyan intent-only · amber reality-only) · 8% 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

B,B — Tactics × Tactics (actor) acting on B3,C2 — Tactics·Signal × Operations·Loop (patient) · grip 0.750

actor seed B,B — 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. Execution is a sequence of bets made under uncertainty. Tactics is the discipline of betting the right size on the bet whose information value pays for the loss-if-wrong.

patient seed B3,C2 — Message signal reach and bandwidth are measured within the iterative feedback loop and hypothesis test cycle. Signal-to-noise is the inverse cube of bandwidth — narrow the channel, the message arrives; broaden it, recipients tune out. The right channel is the one whose floor matches the message's importance. A broadcast that addresses everyone addresses no one. Precision over reach until the address is calibrated; only then does scale convert prospects into recipients rather than into unsubscribes. Repetition is the cost of being heard. Three sends to one recipient beats one send to three; the first send announces, the second send is heard, the third send is remembered. Each iteration is a hypothesis tested against the ground truth of the world. Loops shorter than the feedback half-life waste the half-life; loops longer than it pay compounding interest on the wait. Cycles compound when each turn's exhaust feeds the next turn's intake. Closed loops compound; open loops decay. The closing of the loop IS the productivity, not the running of it. Iteration discipline: one commit per iteration, never bundled. Bundled iterations destroy the bisect, and the bisect is the future agent's only tool for finding which round of feedback produced which artifact.
