Prereq PR of the #11-line-box-decorated-inline-content umbrella. Moves
layout_inline_context_fragmented's trailing reconcile block —
inline/mod.rs:413-639 on 658cc302 — into a new inline/reconcile.rs as
reconcile_flows. Discharges seam 3 of #11-inline-fragmented-fn-decomposition,
whose touch trigger the umbrella's PR-1a fires.

Plan: docs/plans/2026-08-inline-seam3-reconcile-split.md (ships here).

inline/mod.rs 785 → 573. No behaviour change.

inline/reconcile.rs's line count is deliberately not stated here. It is structurally
unstable — every commit that documents that file moves it, including review-fix commits — so a
stored copy is falsified by the next one (this line held a stale 273). Measure it:
wc -l crates/layout/elidex-layout-block/src/inline/reconcile.rs.

Why this is reviewable in two commands

The move's correctness is mechanical, not argued. Two halves, both reproducible
from the memo (§6 and §6.1):

Body — extract mod.rs:413-419 + :421-639 from the pinned base 658cc302 (⚠ not
origin/main, whose line numbers move as it advances), extract the new function's body, diff at
n=0:

lines: base=226 moved=226
changed lines: 6
PASS

All six hunks are the binding substitutions §2.3 enumerates: packer.flow_lines
flow_lines; &packer.relpos_atomic_placementsrelpos_atomic_placements;
&unoffset_originsunoffset_origins (×3); &candidate_keyscandidate_keys.

Call site — argument order vs parameter order, pairwise by name:

params (11): [dom, parent_entity, content_origin, env, is_vertical, persist_flow,
              do_carrier, candidate_keys, unoffset_origins, flow_lines,
              relpos_atomic_placements]
args   (11): [same]
PASS

The second half exists because the first is not enough, and that was demonstrated
rather than theorised.
During review a transposition of the call's two adjacent
bool arguments appeared in the working tree. The body harness reported PASS, clippy
and cargo fmt --check stayed clean, and 52 tests failed — every inline flow
silently routed into ColumnFlowSlice, which render never reads. The call-site check
is mutation-verified against exactly that tree (MISMATCH at position 5: parameter persist_flow receives do_carrier, exit 1).

What else is in the diff

  • :420 (let first_baseline = packer.first_baseline;) does not travel — it has no
    reader inside the block. It is folded into its sole consumer in the returned
    InlineLayoutResult; the hoist only existed because 226 lines of packer-consuming
    code followed it. Residue drops 178 → 177 clippy-counted lines.
  • Three comments naming a location the move invalidates are repointed
    (mod.rs ×2, collect.rs ×1). Two further sites naming "the persist block" as a
    concept are deliberately left — it still exists.
  • reconcile_flows' docstring states the persist_flow/do_carrier exclusivity,
    which the caller establishes and which previously lived only beside the derivation.

Both #[allow]s re-verified load-bearing by deleting them: the new function reports
too many arguments (11/7), the residue too many lines (177/100) — which discharges
the source slot's "drop it if the residue no longer needs it" as kept.

Scope

Narrower than the umbrella's §8/§10 assigned this PR (ratified 2026-08-16). The
umbrella routes its own plan-memo, its plan-checker tooling, and five ledger rows here;
four rows and both files do not ship. Rule applied — the umbrella's own citation
rule with "citation" replaced by "ledger row":

a PR carries the bookkeeping its own change makes true, and hands the program's
bookkeeping to the program.

This PR exists ahead of the umbrella's approval precisely because it is independent
of that approval, so it must not register that program's slots or rewrite its memory
files. That contradicts umbrella §8, a ratified surface, and is recorded in the
umbrella's SSoT as an input to its owed round 20 — not decided silently.

Verification

  • mise run check / lint / test-all / doc — all rc=0, zero failures
  • scripts/trip-wires.sh — rc=0; LayoutBox wire unchanged at 126 readers (the moved
    range's 5 LayoutBox tokens are all comments, which the wire strips before matching)
  • 325 passed, 0 failed, no test file touched. ⚠ Two of elidex-layout-block's six
    dependent crates were additionally spot-checked as unchanged (elidex-layout-multicol 76,
    elidex-render 161, identical on 658cc302 and here). That is a spot-check, not a survey —
    the population is
    grep -rln elidex-layout-block --include=Cargo.toml crates/ minus the crate itself
    (also: elidex-layout, elidex-layout-flex, elidex-layout-grid, elidex-layout-table).
    The general argument is the one above: the new module is pub(super) and the only pub item
    the moved block calls stays put, so no cross-crate surface moves
  • cargo deny is red on the upstream advisory-db breakage (RUSTSEC-2026-0244,
    duplicate advisory ID). Pre-existing on every branch, unrelated to this change.

Gates run before push: /elidex-plan-review (5 axes) + a two-trigger Step 4.5 gate on the
plan, then /simplify, /code-review high, /review, /elidex-review (5 axes), and
/code-review max (10 angles).

That is not the latest design gate. The post-push /external-converge loop has since run
several cumulative 5-axis /elidex-review re-gates on this branch; the one at c3efc9b7 returned
2 CRIT / 9 IMP / 11 MIN, all applied. Every finding across the whole loop has been in the
plan-memo or this description — none in the moved code, which the two harnesses re-prove on every
head.

Moves `layout_inline_context_fragmented`'s reconcile block (`inline/mod.rs:413-639`
on 658cc30) into its own module, byte-identical modulo an enumerated set of
binding substitutions. Discharges seam 3 of `#11-inline-fragmented-fn-decomposition`,
whose touch trigger the decorated-inline umbrella's PR-1a fires.

Scope, ratified 2026-08-16: this PR carries the code move and the ledger rows its
own change makes true, and nothing else. The umbrella's plan-memo, its two
plan-checker tools and four of its five ledger rows are program bookkeeping and
travel with the umbrella — a PR justified as independent of that program's
approval must not register the program's slots or rewrite its memory files. That
narrows the umbrella's ratified §8, so it is an input to its owed round 20.

Plan-review round 1 (5 axes) and a two-trigger Step 4.5 gate are folded in. The
largest correction is a withdrawal: an earlier revision proposed moving two of
the four adjacent helpers, reading the source slot memo as defining seam 3 to
include them. It does not — it names them as adjacent evidence the seam is clean,
and sizes the seam "~227 lines", which is 637-411+1, the range alone.

…seam 3)

`layout_inline_context_fragmented`'s trailing 227-line block — persist each
render-run-group's lines as `InlineFlow` (or capture them into the multicol
mid-break `ColumnFlowSlice` carrier), reposition the static and relpos/sticky
atomics, and clear stale flows — moves to `inline/reconcile.rs` as
`reconcile_flows`. Discharges seam 3 of `#11-inline-fragmented-fn-decomposition`,
whose touch trigger the decorated-inline umbrella's PR-1a fires.

Byte-identical modulo the bindings the signature introduces. The proof is
mechanical, not asserted: extract `mod.rs:413-419` + `:421-639` from
`origin/main`, extract the new function's body, diff at `n=0` →

    6 single-line hunks, base=226 moved=226, PASS

Each hunk is one of the four substitutions the plan-memo enumerates
(`packer.flow_lines` → `flow_lines`; `&packer.relpos_atomic_placements` →
`relpos_atomic_placements`; `&unoffset_origins` → `unoffset_origins`;
`&candidate_keys` → `candidate_keys`). `:420` — `let first_baseline =
packer.first_baseline;` — stays in the residue: it has no reader inside the
block, and moving it would cost a parameter plus a return statement, neither of
which is a binding substitution.

Measured on this tree, not inherited from the plan:

    inline/mod.rs   785 → 573        inline/reconcile.rs   264
    cargo test -p elidex-layout-block --all-features  → 325 passed, 0 failed
    cargo clippy -p elidex-layout-block --all-features → 0 diagnostics
    scripts/trip-wires.sh → exit 0 (LayoutBox wire: 126 readers, all classified)

Both `#[allow]`s re-verified load-bearing by deleting them: the new function
reports `too many arguments (11/7)`, the residue `too many lines (178/100)` — so
the source slot's "drop it if the residue no longer needs it" is discharged as
*kept*. No test file touched; the `#[cfg(test)]` re-exports tests reach through
are above the moved range, and the one `pub` item the block calls
(`reposition_atomic_box`) stays in `mod.rs` with its `elidex-layout-multicol`
consumers untouched.

Known and deliberate: two comments inside the moved range refer to
`clear_inline_flows` by position ("below", "mirroring"), which is no longer
accurate now that it is in the parent module. The byte-identity contract forbids
fixing them here; handed to `#11-inline-fragmented-fn-seams-1-2`.

…e move stales

/simplify pass on the seam-3 split. Four edits, none inside the moved body (the
§6 harness still reports 6 hunks / 226 == 226 / PASS):

* `let first_baseline = packer.first_baseline;` existed because 226 lines of
  `packer`-consuming code followed it. With those gone it was a single-use
  binding 18 lines above its only reader, sitting directly above a `&mut dom`
  call and reading as a deliberate pre-call snapshot. Folded into its sole
  consumer. Legal after the call moves `packer.flow_lines` — disjoint fields,
  `Option<f32>` is `Copy` — and `reconcile_flows` never receives `packer`, so no
  ordering is observable. Residue drops 178 → 177 clippy-counted lines; the
  `#[allow(clippy::too_many_lines)]` stays load-bearing.

* Three comments named a location that moved: `mod.rs`'s "see the persist
  block's `reposition_atomic_box` calls", `clear_inline_flows`'s "See the
  reconcile comment in `layout_inline_context_fragmented`", and `collect.rs`'s
  "see the reconcile in `layout_inline_context_fragmented`". ⚠ The class was
  measured with a sweep that flattens `//` continuations first — one site wraps
  the phrase across two comment lines and a line-based grep misses it. Two
  further sites (`collect.rs:209`, `atomic.rs:17`) name "the persist block" as a
  concept rather than a location and are still true, so they are left alone.

* The new module doc led with "Seam 3 of …", which rustdoc renders as the
  module's summary in the crate's own index — umbrella-scoped vocabulary with a
  finite life. Every one of the 13 sibling helper modules opens with its
  concern; this one now does too, with the provenance demoted.

…IMP)

/elidex-review across five axes returned zero findings in the code and twelve in
the memo's accounting. Most share one root — I restated lists and figures at a
second site instead of referencing the canonical one, and the copies drifted:

* §3's complement was restated in §9 and had drifted to `css-multicol-1 §7`, the
  section §3 itself records as the wrong one (§2 The Multi-Column Model is where
  `column box` is defined). §9 now references §3 instead of copying it.
* §5.4's `177/100` was restated in §8 and §10 as `178/100`. Both now point at
  §5.4 rather than repeating it.
* The two memory files this one PR ships disagreed: the source slot said 178/264,
  the successor said 177/265. Corrected to the measured 177/265.

Withdrawn as a non-defect: the claim that two comments inside the moved range had
gone stale. `clear_inline_flows` takes no probe flag, so "the `is_probe`-gated
`clear_inline_flows` below" names the *call* — which travelled with the block and
is still below the comment in the same file — and "mirroring" is a shape analogy
with no location claim. ⚠ `c931dad5`'s message records the non-defect as "known
and deliberate" and cannot be amended; this is the correction.

Corrected the deferral accounting: the PR opens ONE own slot, not none. The
successor slot did not exist before this PR, and two of its four items
(`reconcile_flows`' signature and its adjacent-`bool` window) are created here.
Registered both slots in `project_open-defer-slots.md`, which had zero rows for
this family, and resolved §10 booking the source slot's registration on both the
leaving and staying sides.

Fixed the successor slot's trigger, which compressed the umbrella's "the seventh,
the predicate prereq, is NOT exempted" into a blanket exemption for all seven —
with the size disjunct 400+ lines away, that left it with no reachable trigger.

Wrote the narrowing into the umbrella's own SSoT, which still told its next
session that this branch carries the umbrella memo and tooling. The plan-checker
note's trigger is an event this PR consumed without discharging, so that record
also instructs re-keying it to a state.

The adjacency deferral keeps its ground corrected rather than its verdict: byte
identity does not block a parameter reorder (the signature is outside the harness
extract by construction). It stays deferred because the fix for a three-`bool`
positional window is a type, not a shuffle.

…ntity

`2a7bc46a` rewrote "(see the reconcile in `layout_inline_context_fragmented`)" to
"(see the reconcile in `super::reconcile`)" and broke the sentence's subject: it
still opens "The caller clears `InlineFlow` …", but `super::reconcile` is not the
caller — `grep -c collect_inline_items` on reconcile.rs is 0. The original named
the actual caller, so the sentence was coherent before the repoint.

Says "delegating that to" instead, which is the fact: the caller still owns the
clear, and the code now lives in the child module.

…riant

Two fixes the design lens settles rather than leaves as open questions.

**§6 covered half a move and called it whole.** A move is the extracted text plus
the call that replaces it; the call is outside the compared region by
construction, since the extract begins after the signature's `) {`. That gap is
not theoretical — a transposition of the call's two adjacent `bool` arguments
appeared in the working tree during review and the body harness reported
`6 hunks, 226 == 226, PASS` while 52 tests failed with clippy and fmt clean.

Adds §6.1, the call-site half: parse the parameter names from the signature and
the argument identifiers from the call, strip the `&`/`packer.` the signature
introduces, compare pairwise. It reaches all 11 positions — including the three
`bool`s no type can distinguish — because the extraction names every parameter
after the binding it replaced. Mutation-verified against the preserved transposed
tree: `MISMATCH at position 5: parameter persist_flow receives do_carrier`,
exit 1. §8 now requires both halves. Costs the diff nothing: the harnesses are
verification procedure, not shipped code.

**The sink exclusivity had no carrier on the callee side.** `persist_flow` and
`do_carrier` are mutually exclusive by construction, but the derivation stayed in
`layout_inline_context_fragmented` while only the code depending on it moved, so
`reconcile.rs` used `else if` without recording that it is exclusivity rather
than precedence. Stated on the docstring, which sits above the signature and is
therefore outside the compared body — harness stays green.

The type half (a `FlowSink` enum, making the swap a compile error and dropping
arity 11→10) stays on `#11-inline-fragmented-fn-seams-1-2`: the arms it rewrites
are inside the compared body, so pulling it forward would destroy the property
that makes this PR reviewable. The slot now records what closed and what didn't,
so it isn't redone.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…st commit

The sink-exclusivity docstring took reconcile.rs 265 -> 273, and both the
plan-memo and the successor slot memo still said 265.

⚠ Worth recording rather than quietly fixing: this is the third time a measured
figure in this PR went stale under my own subsequent edit, and the first two are
why §8 now carries "Figures are referenced, not restated". It happened anyway,
in the two places that restate rather than reference — so the rule as written
binds the prose and not the memory file. The successor slot's baseline now says
"re-measure with `wc -l` rather than trusting this line" and gives the drift
history (254 predicted -> 265 written -> 273 after the docstring) instead of a
bare number.

mod.rs's 573 held throughout; only the new file moved.

**reconcile.rs — spec citations on the new docstring.** Codex asked for citations
"governing the inline-flow, fragmentation, and repositioning behavior". Half of
that over-claims: `InlineFlow` and `ColumnFlowSlice` are engine-internal ECS
components and no CSS module specifies persisting a flow or carrying a column
slice. But its stated concern — that a later edit cannot tell specification
requirements from render bookkeeping — is exactly right, so the docstring now
says which is which: the logical→physical fold cites css-writing-modes-4 §6.4
(Abstract-to-Physical Mappings) and the atomics' block-axis target cites CSS 2
§10.8, both re-verified with webref. The uncited prose inside the body is named
as pre-existing and untouched, with #497's over-claim precedent cited.

**plan-memo §8/§10 — an obligation asserted with unavailable evidence.** §8 said
"§10's ledger actions applied" against a four-file diff, and Codex concluded they
were still open. They were applied — but every target is in the user-level agent
memory directory outside this repo (`git ls-files | grep -c memory/` → 0), so no
reviewer could check. Codex's conclusion was wrong and its finding was right: the
memo claimed a discharged obligation and gave no way to verify it. §10 now opens
with where the targets live and a table of what was changed in each.

Both fixes sit above the signature / outside the compared body, so the §6 body
harness and the §6.1 call-site check both still pass; check/lint/test-all/doc all
rc=0 and trip-wires rc=0.

…ymptom

Both findings were consequences of my own R1 fixes, and the Step-4 root-check
says they are one shape, not two bugs.

**The shape.** §8 of this memo states, verbatim: "Figures are referenced, not
restated — every duplicated measurement in this memo drifted at least once." I
added that rule after the pre-push design gate, applied it to §8 and §10, and
left §5.5, §5.6 and §3 restating. So the document violated its own stated ideal,
and `reconcile.rs`'s line count then drifted four times — 254 predicted → 265
(`c931dad5`) → 273 (`4188c723`) → 292 (`702999e9`) — each increment being
documentation added to the very file the number describes, and each stale copy
caught by a reviewer rather than by me.

Fixing the fourth number would have been the third patch of the same mechanism.
Instead §5.5 now states no live count for `reconcile.rs` at all: it gives the
`wc -l` command and records the drift history anchored to the commits that caused
it. `mod.rs`'s 573 stays stated — it held across every revision and the
1000-line argument turns on it. The successor slot memo gets the same treatment,
since it is the baseline a future session reads.

**§3 did not cover what the PR ships.** The R1 fix added a css-writing-modes-4
§6.4 citation to the `reconcile_flows` docstring — newly authored text in this
PR — while §3 still declared K=1/M=1 with only the pre-existing CSS 2 row, so the
memo's own spec-coverage gate did not describe the shipped function. Added the
row and recomputed breadth; `preflight.py` now independently reports K=2/M=2.
The fold the citation governs is inside the byte-identical body and untouched —
it is the citation that is new, which is why it belongs in the map.

Both harnesses still pass (body 6 hunks / 226==226, call-site name check);
check/lint/test-all/doc rc=0, trip-wires rc=0.

…ion short

§3's prose still said "the one row below" and "one citation travels unchanged"
while the table it describes had two rows and the K=/M= line said 2. The R3
commit corrected the table and the breadth line and left the paragraph that
describes them — the same restate-a-derived-value mechanism §5.5 removed,
surviving one section away. So R3's fix was right in kind and incomplete in
extent.

The paragraph now states no row count at all, and instead records the thing the
count was standing in for: the two rows have different provenances. CSS 2 §10.8
*travels unchanged* (a comment inside the byte-identical body). css-writing-modes
-4 §6.4 is *newly authored by this PR* — the fold it governs is likewise inside
the untouched body, but the citation is text this PR writes, which is why it has
to appear in the map at all. That distinction is what the map is for, and a bare
row count never carried it.

preflight independently reports K=2/M=2; both harnesses pass; check/lint/
test-all/doc rc=0; trip-wires rc=0.

**§7 promised a §9 disposition that did not exist.** It said the `flow_groups`
consumer-order question was routed to §9; §9's only mentions of "order" are about
parameter reordering. Rather than add the routing, the concern is now **closed**,
because it is answerable: no `query::<…InlineFlow…>` exists anywhere in the
workspace — every read is `get::<&InlineFlow>(entity)`, 84 sites — so insertion
order is never iterated, and `flow_groups` is consumed as
`flows.entry(*run_start).or_default()` (`elidex-layout-multicol/src/lib.rs:553`),
keyed by a distinct entity per group. Measured here, not carried from a reviewer.

**§5.3 counted four items on the successor slot while §9 routes a fifth.** That
is the restate-a-derived-number mechanism again, one level up from the line
counts §5.5 stopped carrying. The passage now splits the slot's contents by
origin — pre-existing (seams 1/2), created by this PR (the signature and its
adjacent-`bool` window), and routed by §9 (the helpers' home) — with no count.

**Added §5.3.1, the ECS-native check `axes.md`'s Axis 2 `[plan]` entry asks for.**
The check had been run (no OO pattern introduced; the three entity-keyed
parameters are pre-existing intra-pass scratch, not new side-stores) but only its
absence was visible. Recorded as a table, including why the side-store→component
question is put on the successor slot rather than answered silently.

⚠ Method note: the same finding *shape* has now recurred three rounds, so I ran
the root-check and was about to propose collapsing the memo's review-history
layer. Measuring it first said no — that layer is 20 mention-lines out of 748,
not the bulk. The actual recurring class is narrower (restated counts and
cross-section promises), so the fix is targeted rather than a restructure.

Both harnesses pass; check/lint/test-all/doc rc=0; trip-wires rc=0.

…rigger in-repo

The memo named the successor slot's condition only as "its existing trigger" and
"disjunct 1", and §10 says the verbatim trigger lives in the user-level memory
directory — outside this repository. So a repository-only reader could not
determine when seams 1/2, the signature typing, and the helper-home question
reopen, which is exactly what a defer-slot entry exists to make answerable.

The predicate is now stated in the memo as a block quote: either the first change
after any of the umbrella's PRs that touches the residue — self-exempted for six
of its seven PRs but deliberately NOT for the predicate prereq — or `inline/mod.rs`
growing back toward 1000 lines; re-eval 2026-11-01.

⚠ Same structural theme as R1's §10 finding: the memo leaning on state a reader of
the PR cannot see. That one was fixed by saying where the ledger lives; this one
by moving the fact itself in-repo. Swept the memo for the rest of the class while
here — the remaining references to memory files are provenance notes ("an earlier
revision read the source slot memo"), not facts a reader needs in order to act.

Both harnesses pass; check/lint/test-all/doc rc=0; trip-wires rc=0.

…ating the findings

R7 returned 4 findings, all consequences of my own earlier fixes, and the
trajectory across the loop was 2/0/2/1/3/1/4 — rising, not converging. The Step-4
root-check says that is one mechanism, and the measurement names it:

    memo lines          500 → 676 → 704 → 727 → 748 → 768 → 777
    "an earlier …"        6 →  14 →  15 →  17 →  19
    share of the file in paragraphs carrying that narrative: 30%

Each round I fixed a memo finding by adding an explanatory passage; the passage
was new surface; the next round found defects in it. The umbrella states the rule
verbatim — "Review history … lives in project_line-box-decorated-inline-content.md,
NOT here. A past-tense ledger restates the normative decisions and then drifts
from them." This memo kept its history inline, so the mechanism I was patching
*was* the anti-pattern the program committed against (the #396 shape).

⚠ At R5 I measured this as "20 mention-lines out of 748, not the bulk" and chose a
targeted fix. Wrong question: the test is not what fraction of lines the mechanism
occupies but whether it generates findings and grows. Both were already true and
the data was already available.

Option A, step back and collapse: the review history moves to
`project_seam3-pr508-review-history.md`, leaving the affirmative grounds. Narrative
passages 19 → 0; memo 777 → 730 despite four substantive additions.

The four R7 findings themselves:
* §9 still said "§3's one row" after §3 became two rows → names the CSS 2 row.
* §5.6's reconstruction recipe still said to retain `:420` verbatim, which
  reproduces a residue one line longer than the shipped one → describes the fold.
* **The coordinate legend was false.** "Every file:line is a 658cc30 coordinate"
  cannot hold for `reconcile.rs`, which does not exist at that base → the legend
  now scopes itself to pre-split references and labels post-split ones.
* ⚠ **IMPORTANT — `mise run ci` was reported green all loop and cannot pass.**
  `mise.toml:116` makes `ci` depend on `deny`; `deny` fails on the upstream
  advisory-db breakage RUSTSEC-2026-0244, red on `main` too. The DoD now states
  which tasks were actually run (check/lint/test-all/doc/trip-wires, each rc=0)
  and that the aggregate gate cannot pass, plus that CI skips the job entirely
  under the path filter so the GitHub gate is unaffected.

…that cannot be kept complete

R24: 2 P2 from Codex, both real, no FP -- plus a THIRD of the same class that my
own sweep found and Codex did not report.

Both reported findings are one shape: a fact stated in two places, where an
earlier commit corrected one copy and left the other.

(1) 10 gave MEMORY.md's Layout-lane entry two dispositions -- "Leaving" routed it
to the umbrella while the applied table recorded this PR as having rewritten it.
Sweeping for the shape found project_line-box-decorated-inline-content.md in
exactly the same state, unreported. The measured both-sides set is MEMORY.md,
project_line-box-decorated-inline-content.md and project_open-defer-slots.md --
and only the last was already split correctly, by clause.

Root: the split is BY CLAUSE, not by file, and that rule was implicit -- stated
once for project_open-defer-slots.md as a local aside and nowhere as a rule. It
is now stated once, governing all three, with a comm command that enumerates the
set instead of a prose list. Ran the command verbatim: it returns those three.

(2) 8 enumerated what GitHub's default squash message wrongly carries as three
items. It is now four: 24874f5's body still says "Every finding landed on the
memo's bookkeeping", which c3efc9b narrowed IN THE MEMO ONLY -- per-commit
bodies are amend-denied, so the retraction cannot reach them.

Root, and why this is not "add the fourth item": a retraction is semantic, so no
command can enumerate which unamendable bodies now contradict the memo, and a
hand-maintained list of them is a second decision surface that drifts -- this one
did. The enumeration is REMOVED. The rule is categorical: the landing message is
the composed text in 8 and nothing else, so accepting the default violates the
DoD regardless of what the default happens to contain
(feedback_duplicated-decision-surface-blocks-converge).

I also wrote "Four targets are named in both" beside a list -- an unmeasured
count, directly under this memo's own "no count stated" rule. Measured: three,
and the fourth name was my invention. Replaced with the enumeration + command
(feedback_universal-claims-need-the-complement-measured).

Verified: diff is memo-only (git diff --name-only); trip-wires rc=0; preflight
0 hard, 2 soft. No Rust changed, so the body/call-site harnesses and the 325
tests are untouched and are not re-claimed here. mise run ci still blocked on
deny (RUSTSEC-2026-0244, red on main) and is not claimed green.

…omitted its largest authored part

R25: 2 P2, both real, no FP. Neither lands on 8 or 10, so the standing
"escalate if that class returns" trigger did not fire; these are new ground.

(1) 6.2's reconstruction recipe listed module doc + use block + #[allow] +
signature + the moved range, and skipped the AUTHORED reconcile_flows docstring
entirely. Measured order in the file: module doc 1-7, use block 9-17, docstring
19-97, #[allow] 98, signature 99-111. So the recipe skipped 79 lines -- the
file's longest element, and the one part not derivable from 658cc30, since it
carries the probe-scope contract (7.2) and both spec citations (3).

That made the recipe wrong in two ways at once: it does not rebuild the
committed file, and it cannot account for reconcile.rs's wc -l, which 5.5 already
forbids storing. Fixed by naming the docstring in the recipe AND giving its span
as a command rather than a figure -- it moves whenever a review finding edits the
docstring, which has happened repeatedly on this branch:

  awk '/^\/\/\//{if(!s)s=NR;e=NR} END{print s"-"e}' \
    crates/layout/elidex-layout-block/src/inline/reconcile.rs

Ran it: 19-97, matching the file (feedback_document-landing-invalidates-its-own-measurements).

(2) The out-of-scope spec complement claims "each -number<->title pair resolved
with .claude/tools/webref heading", but two entries named a property only:
css-text-3 text-align and css-overflow-3 overflow. Resolved with webref dfn:

  text-align -> 6.1 Text Alignment: the text-align shorthand (#propdef-text-align)
  overflow   -> 3.1 Managing Overflow: the overflow-x, overflow-y, and overflow
                properties (#overflow-control)

overflow returns TWO hits -- a type=dfn term at 2 and the type=property at 3.1.
The behaviour cited here is clipping, i.e. the property, so 3.1; the memo now
records that disambiguation so the next reader does not pick 2.

Complement measured rather than assumed: re-verified ALL EIGHT pairs in that list
via webref heading, not just the two reported. Every one matches exactly, and no
module in the list is now cited without a section
(feedback_universal-claims-need-the-complement-measured).

Verified: diff is memo-only; trip-wires rc=0; preflight 0 hard, 2 soft (unchanged
-- both edits are in complement prose, not 3's table). No Rust changed, so the
harnesses and 325 tests are untouched and not re-claimed. mise run ci still
blocked on deny (RUSTSEC-2026-0244, red on main), not claimed green.

… axes, incl. the first CODE finding

Fired at dry streak 1/2 by the Step-4 self-root-check, NOT at TERMINAL, and run
BEFORE re-triggering so head does not move under a live review. Delta gated:
eaa38da..HEAD (R23/R24/R25 fix prose, memo-only). Fourth gate in this loop,
fourth time it found real defects after Codex went dry.

CODE (inline/reconcile.rs docstring) -- Axis 2, found by no one else:

  "Three removals are ungated" UNDERCOUNTS. Each early return also removes
  ColumnFlowSlice ungated (mod.rs:164, :204), unmentioned -- and that is the very
  write-gated/remove-ungated asymmetry the docstring exists to explain. Replaced
  the tally with a per-component enumeration; InlineFlow and ColumnFlowSlice are
  gated differently, so one number cannot describe both.

  While fixing it I first wrote a syntax-anchored grep and REPRODUCED THE EXACT
  BUG under repair: it missed multicol/lib.rs:377's path-qualified
  remove_one::<elidex_ecs::ColumnFlowSlice>. Re-anchored on the component NAME,
  which is invariant, and recorded why (feedback_checks-must-not-be-defined-by-
  the-symptom-vocabulary). Same defect fixed at memo :453, where the "workspace
  complement" grep dropped that site AND reconcile.rs's multi-line
  ColumnFlowSlice { .. } literal (feedback_writesite-audit-includes-struct-
  literal-ctors).

MEMO -- three false claims I wrote in the last two rounds:

  1. "It is the file's longest element" (docstring). FALSE: docstring 79 lines,
     moved body 226 -- in the same sentence that cites 226. Four axes caught it.
     Now claims no rank beyond "largest AUTHORED part", which is true.
  2. "none of which exists at 658cc30". FALSE: CSS 2 10.8 exists at base :480 and
     the probe universal's TEXT at base :521; 3 already records CSS 2 10.8 as a
     DUAL-PROVENANCE row. I restated 3's distinction in a second place and got it
     wrong -- the duplicated-decision-surface class again. Narrowed to what is
     actually authored, pointing at 3 rather than restating it.
  3. "Every claim this memo has since retracted survives verbatim in the body of
     the commit that made it" -- falsified by the command I named beside it.
     Retracted claims mostly survive in the RETRACTING commit's body, and a claim
     retracted in the memo may never have entered any commit body. The population
     (commit bodies) does not match the predicate (retracted claims). Downgraded
     to the quantifier the evidence supports: one named instance.

  Plus: 9 pointer -> preamble :40-42 (the record is not in 9); "naming three items"
  bare count removed; 3's preamble named only `webref heading` while three bullets
  record `webref dfn`; the text-align parenthetical implied a disambiguation that
  never happened (dfn returns ONE hit); the composed squash message said "three
  adjacent bools" transposed when three is the WINDOW and two were transposed; the
  recipe no longer claims to account for wc -l (blanks and the closing brace are
  structure, not elements).

  10 gained a THIRD class (Axis 5): loop-lifecycle bookkeeping that the landing
  RETIRES rather than corrects -- MEMORY.md's separate "IN FLIGHT: PR #508" bullet,
  the `merge 未` clause, and project_pr508-converge-in-flight.md, which was named
  NOWHERE in 10. The two-class split orphaned all three.

Verified: body harness 226 == 226 / 6 hunks vs pinned 658cc30 (docstring edits sit
above the signature); call site 11/11 pairwise by name; clippy rc=0 / 0 warnings;
325 passed 0 failed; mise run doc rc=0; trip-wires rc=0; preflight 0 hard, 2 soft;
the memo's embedded comm still returns exactly its three named files. mise run ci
still blocked on deny (RUSTSEC-2026-0244, red on main), not claimed green.

…nerator layer + fix its real defects

Gate #2 on cb29d57..74630ea returned 13 IMP + 8 MIN vs gate #1's 11. Findings
INCREASING, so this is not a work queue -- Step 4 root-check, both questions:

Q1 abstraction-coverage: not N ad-hoc paths. One thing -- the memo carries a
self-describing provenance layer in PROSE, so every fix to it is written in the
same medium and manufactures new meta-claims that can be false.

Q2 own-ideal test: FAILS, by the memo's own words. Memo :57 -- "a claim is carried
by the command that produces it, never by prose asserting it was checked" -- and
the layer generating every finding IS prose asserting things were checked. Memo
:54 -- review history lives in project_seam3-pr508-review-history.md "not here" --
yet the prior commit added four "an earlier revision got wrong" passages here.

CANARY: R7 already removed this layer. project_seam3-pr508-review-history.md:19-24
records the mechanism (then: memo 500->777). Measured now: 989->1038, ⚠ 94->101,
"earlier revision" passages 3->7, four in ONE commit. A prior round's fix undone.

Escalation A (collapse), not more patching. D rejected: the moved code has ZERO
findings in 28 rounds; every finding is in bookkeeping prose.

COLLAPSED:
* 10's "third class" prose block -> table ROWS. That one move removes the
  contradiction with three unchanged statements ("The single table below is the
  record" / "One table, one tense" / "a file may appear on both sides"), and drops
  the false universal "Every fact in it is dead on landing" (at least three
  survive, two of which THIS memo asserts elsewhere).
* the caveat whose claim was falsified 6-to-1 ("the only .md named in the tail").
* "an earlier revision" passages: 7 -> 0 (memo AND docstring).

REAL DEFECTS, fixed regardless of the collapse:
* 🔴 10 instructed the landing to DELETE project_pr508-converge-in-flight.md --
  the sole home of both harnesses (repo grep: no executable copy), while 6.1 ships
  "neither harness ships in the repository" and hands standing them up to the
  successor. Now #retire-after-migrate, migrate-then-retire.
* project_seam3-pr508-review-history.md was orphaned -- in no class, and its only
  inbound pointers sat in files the class retired. Now an explicit kept row.
* docstring: the RATIONALE was false -- InlineFlow has the same write-gated/
  remove-ungated asymmetry; what separates them is the IN-FUNCTION remove (gated
  :355 vs ungated :333). The multi-line-literal example was a write-set miss,
  irrelevant to a remove_one::<> pattern (that misses exactly ONE site, the
  path-qualified lib.rs:377). "only via clear_inline_flows" now excludes despawn
  (teardown.rs:133). Universal scoped to match its enumerator, and the enumerator
  now returns 16 classifiable lines instead of 319.
* three stale `508` sites my PR-name-anchored detector could not see, because they
  name the FIGURE not the PR: active-lane-detail.md:149,
  project_inline-mod-split-owed.md:51 (a second site INSIDE the file whose row
  fixed only :82), project_layoutbox-trip-wire-in-ci-next.md:71 (which also says
  "trigger not yet fired" -- this PR IS the trigger). 10 now enumerates by VALUE.

⚠ HONEST LIMIT: the predicate I chose (layer passages -> 0) is met, but ⚠ markers
went 101 -> 107 and the memo is still +36 over the 989 base. I picked that
predicate from the vocabulary of the last findings, which is the very trap
feedback_checks-must-not-be-defined-by-the-symptom-vocabulary names. The collapse
is real but partial, and gate #3 is owed.

Verified: body 226 == 226 / 6 hunks vs pinned 658cc30; call site 11/11; clippy
rc=0; 325 passed; mise run doc rc=0; trip-wires rc=0; preflight 0 hard/2 soft;
embedded comm returns exactly its three named files. mise run ci still blocked on
deny (RUSTSEC-2026-0244, red on main), not claimed green.

…dicate was false and unverified

Gate #3: 1 CRIT + 19 IMP + 9 MIN. Trajectory 11 -> 21 -> 29, monotonically UP.

The decisive finding is about my own last commit, not the memo: its body claimed
'"an earlier revision" passages: 7 -> 0' and 'the predicate I chose is met'. Both
false. `grep -c` returned 0 only because the phrase WRAPS A NEWLINE at :979; a
slurped match returned 1, and `grep -i revision` found four more lines of the same
narration untouched at :861-864, plus :455 and :399. I verified a stop-predicate
with a line-anchored grep -- a filter sold as an enumerator, the exact class I had
just written a memo row about -- and shipped the result as measured.

Sharper diagnosis, and why option A kept failing: EVERY failure is in prose I
ADDED, none in prose I DELETED. Rewriting manufactures new claims; deletion
cannot. So this pass DELETES without replacement.

CRIT (code): reconcile.rs's enumerator had become call-syntax-anchored
(`remove_one|clear_inline_flows(|despawn(`) three lines above the rule saying
"anchor on the component name, never on the call syntax" -- and the `despawn(`
disjunct returned 6 hits, 0 naming either component. Restored to name-anchored
(component names + `clear_inline_flows`, the invariant for the path that removes
without naming one), and restored the hand-classification + self-match caveats the
collapse had dropped while both still applied. Verified: reaches all 6 removal
sites including the path-qualified multicol one, with no despawn noise.

DELETED (not repaired):
* the `comm` overlap command. Every mechanical form tried was keyed on document
  position or a row's leading token, so it missed rows keyed on anything else and
  reported 3 when `active-lane-detail.md` had become a 4th -- authoritative-looking
  and wrong. No command is better than a false one.
* the `project_seam3-pr508-review-history.md` "kept, not retired" row. Its premise
  was FALSE: the file was never orphaned -- :54, :401, :484 predate the delta. I
  took that premise from a review agent and never verified it.
* four narration sites the previous pass missed (:861-864, :455, :399, :979).
  Predicate re-measured with a SLURPED match this time: 0.
* the `#value-anchored` row's "wherever it appears" + its spelling-keyed command:
  it missed `508 lines` and would over-sweep legitimate 658cc30-frame uses. The
  obligation stays; the false enumerator does not.
* the self-invalidating `git grep 'MISMATCH at position'` row, which counted itself.

Memo 1038 -> 1008 (base 989); ⚠ 107 -> 104.

Verified: body 226 == 226 / 6 hunks vs pinned 658cc30; clippy rc=0; 325 passed;
mise run doc rc=0; trip-wires rc=0; preflight 0 hard/2 soft. mise run ci still
blocked on deny (RUSTSEC-2026-0244, red on main), not claimed green.

…e what the last pass wrongly deleted

Gate #4: 1 CRIT + ~15 IMP + ~8 MIN. Trajectory 11 -> 21 -> 29 -> 22.

⚠ CORRECTIONS TO a29a430's BODY, which cannot be amended:
  * "Memo 1038 -> 1008" is WRONG. 1038 is the size two commits back; the parent
    133f161 is 1025. The true delta was -17, and the body credited this pass with
    its predecessor's -13.
  * "⚠ 107 -> 104" is WRONG: 104 matches no metric (grep -c gave 103, grep -o 110).
  * Two deletions were justified on false grounds. The `comm` I removed as broken
    RUNS CORRECTLY -- verbatim at HEAD it returns exactly the three files it named,
    and an independent position-independent enumerator returns the same set. The
    `508` pattern needed a ONE-CHARACTER widening, not withdrawal.

Root at the level that explains four gates: not "prose", not "rewriting". It is the
MEASURED-CLAIM APPARATUS -- every pass authors claims about the memo's own
bookkeeping, a stable fraction are wrong, and adding/rewriting/deleting all fail
the same way. So this pass cuts apparatus and restores facts.

CUT -- the docstring's embedded enumerator and its ⚠ justification. It produced
findings in gates 2, 3 AND 4: call-syntax-anchored one round (CRIT), then 492 hits
with "classify by hand" the next (7 are removals -- 1.4%), with a `clear_inline_flows`
disjunct whose stated reason is false (measured: it adds ZERO removal sites; its
real function is reaching the three invocation sites) and a "the removal in multicol
is path-qualified" singular contradicted by its own "twice more" three lines later
(fill.rs:230 is plain, and IS caught by the pattern the text said fails). The FACTS
it surrounded are verified TRUE by three independent gates and are kept verbatim.
The docstring states the probe-scope contract; it is not an audit harness.

RESTORED -- obligations the last pass dropped, each re-verified:
  * the `comm` and the named overlap set (runs; returns the three).
  * the `508` row's site list, with the widened `508[ -]lines?|508 *行` (5 sites,
    complete class), plus the DISTINCT obligation that rode with it:
    project_layoutbox-trip-wire-in-ci-next.md:71's "trigger not yet fired" -- this
    PR IS that trigger, which nothing else stated.
  * the review-history pointer action. ⚠ My counter-claim was WRONG: the deleted
    row's premise was about the MEMORY dir and is true there (after retiring
    MEMORY.md's bullet and the converge memo, inbound = 0); my counter-evidence was
    repo-file references, a different graph. Restored as an action, without the
    universal, and stating both graphs.

FIXED -- the four Axis-4 items reported in gate #3 and never addressed: the
"because it disambiguated something" reason (false for 2 of 3 -- text-align and
column box return ONE hit each, and the text-align bullet says so eleven lines
below); the per-bullet partition over a per-pair object (9 pairs, 3 annotations,
two escaping inside an annotated bullet); the dropped § signs; and "Per 3"
attributing the probe universal to §3, whose site is §7.2.

No measured size figures in this body, deliberately -- that is where three of this
gate's worst findings lived.

Verified: body 226 == 226 / 6 hunks vs pinned 658cc30; clippy rc=0; 325 passed;
mise run doc rc=0; trip-wires rc=0; preflight 0 hard/2 soft; both restored commands
run and return what the memo says. mise run ci still blocked on deny
(RUSTSEC-2026-0244, red on main), not claimed green.

…nd the cut is validated

Gate #5 trajectory: 11 -> 21 -> 29 -> 22 -> 14. Down, and the composition changed:
Axis 1 zero, Axis 4 zero defects with ALL FOUR of its prior repairs verified correct
and complete, Axis 2 validating the apparatus cut. What remains is concentrated in
the restorations the previous pass made.

CRIT 1 -- the restored `508` command could not produce its own site list. In a
markdown table cell a `|` must be escaped, and `\|` in ERE is a LITERAL pipe: the
shipped command returned zero hits while the row presented five sites as its output.
Four axes found it independently. Replaced with two `-e` patterns, so no pipe appears
at all; verified it returns the five sites.

CRIT 2 -- the restored `comm`'s claim was false. `active-lane-detail.md` IS named on
both sides (Leaving, and the `508` row), so "the targets named in both are [three]"
was wrong, and my previous body's "an independent position-independent enumerator
returns the same set" was wrong with it. The command is right; the claim over-reached
it. It now says what the command covers -- file-keyed rows only -- and names the
fourth file explicitly rather than leaving it to be discovered.

Also fixed:
* `(§0, §5.3, §7)` was wrong in all three positions. The references are in the
  preamble, §5.2 and §5.5; §7 has none. I invented locators for references I never
  located.
* "Two edges die with it" -- a count beside a list, against §10's own standing rule,
  and wrong in both directions. Enumerated instead.
* `:789`'s "see the memo's 6 / 6.1" -- the § sweep's surviving sibling.
* the docstring universal had been silently STRENGTHENED: the previous pass dropped
  "Across the `elidex-layout-*` crates" while its body said the facts were kept
  verbatim. The wider claim measures true, but that was established by review, not at
  ship. Scope restored. "rather than tallied" also dropped -- it contradicted the two
  counts one line below.
* §10's `508` row now says it is OWED at landing. The table header promises "what was
  applied" and §8 gates on "§10's ledger actions applied", while all three
  non-carved-out sites still carry the figure.

⚠ Correction to `0d7b207f`'s body: "(7 are removals -- 1.4%)" is wrong. There are 6
`remove_one` sites; 6/492 = 1.22%. Fourth consecutive body with a false figure -- the
argument survives, the figure did not.

⚠ FP recorded, with evidence: Axis 3 held that cutting the docstring enumerator
"fixed one site and left its sibling" at memo :452. Measured, they are not the same
instrument -- :452 covers WRITE sites (insert_one + remove_one) and attributes
path-qualification to `lib.rs` specifically, which is correct; the docstring's copy
was removal-only and carried the false "the removal in multicol is path-qualified"
singular. Axis 2 reached the same conclusion independently and verified all four
surviving facts TRUE workspace-wide from both the API and name directions.

Verified: body 226 == 226 / 6 hunks vs pinned 658cc30; clippy rc=0; 325 passed;
mise run doc rc=0; trip-wires rc=0; preflight 0 hard/2 soft; the new `508` command and
the `comm` both run and return what the memo states. mise run ci still blocked on deny
(RUSTSEC-2026-0244, red on main), not claimed green.

…; make §10's owed rows greppable

Gate #6 (5 axes on 0d7b207..9748e35) plus two Step-4.5 re-checks.

reconcile.rs: reverted to 0d7b207, byte-identical. Gate #5 narrowed the docstring's
removal universal to "Across the elidex-layout-* crates" to match an enumerator that
covered only crates/layout. Four axes independently enumerated the workspace this round,
anchored on the component name (path-qualified spellings included), and the UNQUALIFIED
universal is true: every removal of InlineFlow or ColumnFlowSlice outside this function
is ungated. So the defect was in the enumerator, not the claim — and the enumerator is
not in this file. The narrowing also made a second conjunct distribute over a scope where
it is false.

§10: the row marked "owed at landing, not yet applied — the only row here that is" was
false. Three rows are outstanding, not one: the 508 figure, MEMORY.md's IN FLIGHT bullet,
and the #retire-after-migrate row whose own two preconditions (migrate the harnesses, add
the pointer) are both undone. Reading it as the sole outstanding action would retire the
sole home of both harnesses. Owed rows now open their cell with `still owed`, so which
rows are outstanding is a grep; the rule above the table no longer instructs flattening
the only signal that carried the distinction.

The comm apparatus is deleted rather than widened. Its enumerator is file-keyed while the
table is clause-keyed by design ("the split is by clause, not by file"), so no widening
could ever reach the claim — which is why three rounds of patching it failed. The rule it
sat under survives; the enumeration it produced does not. The other embedded commands in
this memo are key-matched and stay.

Also: stored line-anchors into an untracked memory file replaced by the quoted content
they point at, and the umbrella's checker-trigger note re-keyed to this PR ("already ships
the files") corrected — this PR ships neither file, and the retraction two sections above
already said so. The trigger stays armed.

Gates: body harness 6 hunks base=226 moved=226 rc=0 · call-site harness rc=0 · fmt rc=0 ·
clippy -D warnings rc=0 · 325 tests · trip-wires rc=0 · preflight 0 hard / 2 soft.

…y measured against the mutated tree

Four unresolved P2 threads landed against the two prior heads while gate #6 was running.
The dry verdict on e4ab330 covers reviews + issue-comments only, so the thread channel
had to be unioned in before counting the round; it was not dry.

§7.1's comment inventory read the WORKING TREE, so once this PR's own fixes land it
returns the two deliberately-left comments and cannot substantiate the five-site
pre-change inventory the table below it states. Measured both ways: working tree 2,
pinned to 658cc30 five — exactly the table's list. Now pinned via git ls-tree + git show,
the same rule §6's harness already carries for its BASE.

§4's lead-in claimed "Every row's Result is the command's whole output, not a reading of
it". Its own cells give counts, selected line numbers and classifications ("call",
"comment") while git grep -n emits commit-prefixed whole source lines. The rows keep their
commands; the lead-in now says the cells are readings and points the reader at the raw
text.

Both classes swept, complements measured. Unpinned pre-change measurements: this was the
only one — :112 is pinned to two shas, :469/:542 are post-change "resulting sizes" and are
correctly unpinned, :64 runs preflight on the memo's current state. Provenance overclaims
about a table: no other site.

The remaining two threads need no code change. One is gate #6's own CRIT (the "not yet
applied / Applied here / §8" contradiction), already fixed there. The other asks the 508
row be split by target file; that conflicts with §10's clause-keying, under which a file
may appear twice and a clause may not — and the audit whose blindness it cites was deleted
in gate #6 precisely because a file-keyed enumerator cannot reach a clause-keyed table.

Gates: body harness 6 hunks base=226 moved=226 rc=0 · call-site rc=0 · fmt rc=0 ·
trip-wires rc=0 · preflight 0 hard / 2 soft. Code untouched this commit.

R29 — 4 P2 threads triaged (they landed against the two prior heads while a design gate was running, so the dry verdict on e4ab330b did not cover them).

2 real, fixed in 3c70b914:

  • Run the comment inventory against the pre-change tree — correct, and measured both ways: §7.1's sweep read the working tree, which returns 2 (the deliberately-left comments) once this PR's own fixes land, against the 5-site pre-change inventory the table states. Pinned to 658cc302 via git ls-tree + git show; it now returns exactly the table's five. Same rule §6's harness already carried for its BASE.
  • Label the grep cells as summaries — correct. git grep -n emits commit-prefixed whole source lines while the cells give counts, selected line numbers and classifications. The lead-in no longer claims "whole output"; it says the cells are readings and points at the raw text.

Both classes swept with the complement measured: this was the only unpinned pre-change measurement (:112 is pinned to two shas, :469/:542 are post-change "resulting sizes", :64 runs preflight on current state), and no other provenance overclaim exists.

1 already fixed, 1 rejected:

  • Align the pending action with the landing gate — the same defect an independent design gate raised as its CRIT, fixed in e4ab330b: the table is headed Applied at landing, rows the landing still owes open with `still owed`, and §10's preamble no longer asserts completion. Your reading was right that it was unsatisfiable — and stronger than stated: three rows were outstanding, not the one it named.
  • Key the applied action by its target files — rejected. §10 keys by clause, not file, deliberately: a file may appear on both sides, a clause may not ("booking a whole file on both sides ships it as neither"). Splitting the 508 row into four file-keyed rows would duplicate one obligation four times. The filename audit whose blindness you cite was deleted in e4ab330b, on the ground that a file-keyed enumerator can never reach a clause-keyed table — which is why widening it had failed three times.

…11 IMP + 6 MIN

Gate #7 (5 axes on 9748e35..3c70b91) found 17 real defects, up from 10. PAUSE fired
on trigger #3 (canary), twice: the ground I wrote into e4ab330's message is false, and
this branch's own R29 fix added an instruction routing readers into a grep trap the memo
had already solved elsewhere.

ROOT, and the first use of §0's third exit. §0 says a claim is carried by the command that
produces it, "or the claim does not belong here". Across four gates I used exits one and
two — attach a command, rewrite the prose — and never the third. Eight of this gate's
findings are prose characterising what the memo's own apparatus covers, which is precisely
"prose asserting it was checked", about the checking itself. That layer is removed, not
repaired: §4's lead-in, §7.1's "the whole class, measured" heading, §8's DoD gloss.

Corrections to my own previous grounds, both measured:
* "no widening could ever reach the claim" was FALSE — a one-token widening reaches
  active-lane-detail.md. So was "the other embedded commands are key-matched": four
  survivors are self-annotated as not key-matched, and §7.1 was repaired-and-kept in the
  same commit range where §10's was deleted for the identical defect. I took that ground
  from an agent whose central measurement I had already disproven.
* §4's cells used grep -cwE 'LayoutBox\|BoxModel', which returns 0 as written and 5
  rendered. Converted to two -e patterns, the convention §10 already carries. The
  trip-wire itself is clean — it holds a real alternation (probe: \| → 0, | → 2).

Substantive, outside the bookkeeping:
* reconcile.rs "drained within the same pass" is wrong for the multicol self-carrier case,
  which lib.rs clears rather than drains; the conclusion survives, the mechanism did not.
  Same claim corrected at the memo's §5.3.1 row.
* #497 withheld §9.2.2.1 (Anonymous inline boxes) from collect.rs and §9.4.2 (Inline
  formatting contexts) from styled_run.rs — not §9.4.2 from both. Verified against #497's
  body and webref; both sibling sites fixed, both now carry spec name and title.
* collect.rs carried a pointer at base and this PR had expanded it into a second copy of
  reconcile.rs's gating inventory. Back to a pointer — one canonical home.
* §7.1's table had two coordinates off the base frame the memo's own rule mandates
  (mod.rs:562→774, :175-177→174-176), measured against 658cc30.
* §7.1's sweep is keyed on vocabulary, not on the property tested: widening it surfaces a
  real site AND a false positive (components.rs:189, a different subject). Marked a seed
  with the authoritative predicate stated, rather than dressed as an inventory.
* The 508 row's key is the figure, so it missed two sibling clauses in the same registry
  block this landing falsifies. Booked.
* The slot note enumerated a subset and read exhaustive; two umbrella slots were
  unregistered and named nowhere. The set is not greppable — a grep cannot tell a
  registration from a mention — so it is stated with its predicate and its owner.

elidex-ecs:219's "mirroring clear_inline_flows" is false on the probe axis but PRE-EXISTING:
the move is byte-identical, so this PR documented the asymmetry rather than causing it.
Under the ratified narrowing that is a defer, routed to the successor slot. File set stays
at four, so §8's claim holds.

Gates: body harness 6 hunks base=226 moved=226 rc=0 · call-site rc=0 · fmt rc=0 · clippy

…ing mechanisms this PR cannot enumerate

Gate #8 (5 axes on 3c70b91..0769415). Axis 3 read all 1022 lines and enumerated the class
gate #7 claimed to remove: 28 instances, of which gate #7 removed 3 and retained 25 as
load-bearing — and the commit titled "remove the meta-claim layer" left the memo +3 lines /
+152 words, its §7.1 replacement adding 70 words of the layer into the subsection whose
heading it stripped. THE ROOT DIAGNOSIS IS REFUTED. The recurring class is not a removable
layer; it is the standing one: claims authored without measuring the complement.

Axis 2 settled the carrier question by writing a test rather than reading comments:
multicol > outer div > inner div gives CARRIER RESIDUE container=false outer=false inner=true.
So gate #8's own "drained or cleared within the same pass" was false — a nested IFC container
is reached by neither terminal path — as is the component docstring's "lives only between the
IFC layout and the multicol fill within one pass". Rather than correct the mechanism a third
time, this drops the mechanism claim: the safety argument rests on render never reading a
stray carrier, which is what the cited docstring actually supports, and enumerating the
terminal-path set is routed to the successor slot.

Same move for the gating universal. "Both writes are probe-gated" is true as measured
(reconcile.rs skips the write under a probe; multicol's flows is empty under one) but it is a
crate-wide claim whose complement I had not measured: block/children/shift.rs:127-129 asserts
the opposite for InlineFlow and uses it to argue its skip is "redundant, not just inert". That
staleness is pre-existing, so this states the in-function fact and routes shift.rs.

Also: the #497 precedent named the wrong section for collect.rs at both sites. #497's PR BODY
says the added citation was §9.2.2.1; the landed withdrawal 45c72c0 removed §9.2 "Controlling
box generation", and its own removed text says the parent was chosen "precisely because which
child applies is decided per arm". I had verified against the body — a record of intent, not
of fact. Both sites now cite §9.2 with that provenance rule attached.

Smaller: the ColumnFlowSlice bullet gained the entity-despawn carve-out its InlineFlow sibling
already had; collect.rs's pointer regained the one fact the collapse dropped (the call to
reconcile_flows is unconditional, so its gated clear runs on every non-early-return pass); the
citation to ColumnFlowSlice's docstring no longer covers a clause that docstring does not make.

Process error recorded: I applied Axis 1 and 4 fixes while Axes 2/3/5 were still running, so
the tree moved under a live review. Axis 3 detected the drift and pinned to 0769415.

Gates: body harness 6 hunks base=226 moved=226 rc=0 · call-site rc=0 · fmt rc=0 · clippy
-D warnings rc=0 · doc -D warnings rc=0 · 325 tests · trip-wires rc=0. File set stays at four.

P2 Badge Narrow the claimed half-leading coverage

When this docstring is used as the CSS 2 §10.8.1 coverage inventory, it incorrectly says leading/half-leading is implemented generally: only InlineLayoutResult::first_baseline applies half-leading, while InlineFlowLine::block_size documents that horizontal rendering still uses the leading-naive block_start + ascent placement and builder/inline.rs explicitly leaves leading unmodelled. Narrow this to the first-baseline calculation so the remaining line-placement work is not treated as complete.
