Session log for job8 (A/B/C/D execution, 3 Bash permission denials
worked around mid-C, smoke gate confirmed by user). TODO tracks the
2 open residuals: C/D single-pass re-audit next cycle, MAGIC_API_KEY
rotation still pending (job7 residual, unrelated to job8's own scope).
BDR-057: secrets by reference not by value; redact at capture, not just at
rest. Documents the two-part job7 posture (MCP ${VAR} expansion + rtk-rewrite
env-dump redaction) and flags the unreconciled contradiction with job6's
same-day (wrong) finding that ${VAR} expansion was unsupported at user scope.
BDR-026 updated: the backup-vector incident (2026-07-02) is closed at the
source rather than by repeated scrubbing — every native auto-backup taken
while the live file held the plaintext value was a fresh leak, so scrubbing
existing backups alone would have recurred forever.
LRN-108: `claude mcp add --env KEY=value` writes the value literally —
double- vs single-quoting around `${VAR}` is the entire difference between
a reference and a plaintext-forever config. The natural way to type the
flag (bash-expand it first) is exactly the trap.
Also refreshed .audit/scan-secrets-claude-home.json to the post-purge state
(15 residual hits, down from 18 pre-D).
BDR-056: deps policy reversal — latest gated by integration, not
KEEP-PINNED by default (job6-batch-3 override, gstack #1911 case).
LRN-107: read-only subagent mandates must ban copying secret VALUES,
not just mutations (job6's own MAGIC_API_KEY scratch-copy incident).
EVAL-020: job6 execution quality — 2 real STOP gates hit and resolved
live (graphifyy hook rewrite declined, gsd-pi format break patched).
EVAL-019: job4 test-gap audit + execution summary (11 specs, 5 fixes/
seams, every mutation red-green verified, zero residual, /tmp-exhaustion
incident + recovery, SPEC-06 checkpoint honesty, J4-22 caller-census
flag).
LRN-106: fixing B1 in one file != closing the B1 pattern. job3-B1
froze a fixture + repointed run-reconcile.sh's T2 off the live
registry, declared unblocked, 20/20 green — job4's very next audit
pass found T3/T5 in the SAME FILE still reading the live registry,
same fragility, untouched siblings. Now actually closed (SPEC-10).
journal: 2026-07-06 (cont. 2) entry.
EVAL-018: job3 shipped, 46/46 findings verified, 20/23 fixes applied
(B1 blocked on sentinel scope, D2-D5+B6 skipped by decision), zero
residual on final re-sweep. LRN-105: explorer subagents need an
explicit ban on executing the subject-under-test's own CLI, not just
"read-only" framing (caught mid-run: a subagent ran `graphify .`).
Session capture for the /reconcile pass + the BLK-013 fix-forward build:
- journal 2026-07-01: reconcile real-state (1 actionable / 3 upstream /
3 deferred / release live), (c) TODO drift, (a) npm guard built.
- BLK-013: append Update — fix-forward now BUILT (1f2c1cc); was
"script hardening NOT built". Now fully resolved (env + script).
- BLK-014 + BDR-046: append Update — MERGED 2393ca5, supersedes the
stale "pending merge". Records that BDR-046 already settled the
"canal d'install" question (native installer, no `elif npm` branch).
Append-only (Update blocks, last-block-wins) — no past entry rewritten;
verified reconcile_blk_open now returns only the true upstream trio.

BDR-044: auto-skill-dispatch chantier retired won't-build — 3rd measured moot
of the session (after --help, darwin re-baseline). Cartography showed L1
(superpowers "1%->MUST invoke") already over-determines routing -> reframed
from "does it route" (yes) to DISCERNMENT; risk inverted under->over. Measured
in real fresh sessions (8 prompts/3 classes): clear->route, ambiguous->ask,
trivial->abstain — model discriminates, no over-routing. Adding L2 prose =
phantom value + degradation risk. LRN-083: subagents are an invalid instrument
for measuring main-loop spontaneous routing (SUBAGENT-STOP + delegated framing
pin to the no-route floor) — retired the 0/6 subagent RED. LRN-080 corroborated
(3-in-a-row). TODO -> won't-build. Claude composed all -> trailers (4th
application of LRN-081).

LRN-082: a trigger-cleared on a multi-motif exclusion lifts only the named
motif. BDR-043 cleared BDR-015's broken-symlink ground (a) but not its
external-ownership ground (b) → the darwin re-baseline is phantom value
(would edit the gstack submodule, LRN-070; results.tsv gone anyway). TODO (b)
resolved-MOOT (not done, not open). Trailers present: Claude composed LRN-082
+ the moot note — LRN-081's own rule, 2nd application.

LRN-081: Claude commit trailers only on Claude-COMPOSED content; a commit merely staging user-authored text gets none (staging != authorship). TODO reconcile: checked L26 'Cleanup machine courante' DONE (make plugin EXIT=0 this session ran Step 8.5, fs-verified strays absent); added (a) harden install-plugins.sh Step 1 npm-via-corepack (BLK-013 fix-forward) + (b) darwin re-baseline of the 5 ex-broken skills (BDR-043). Trailers present here because Claude composed the LRN + TODO formulations (LRN-081's own rule) — unlike e591510 which staged raw user text.

- LRN-073 — a skill's worked-example must use FICTIONAL ids, never live registry
ids (they prime real-data behavior). The RED-7 root-cause lesson.
- LRN-074 — system grep/awk may be ugrep/mawk: don't assume flag-parsing, use
/usr/bin/grep, watch the RED go red. 4th command-assumption miss this session →
engraved as a recurring pattern-family (alongside fail-silent LRN-066/071).
- EVAL-010 — prune-memory hardening: RED-7 deterministic fix + RED-8 accept +
34-row backfill; anomalies incl the real-time false-green catch and the near-
collision with the existing EVAL-009 (caught by reading first).
- journal 2026-06-29 (cont. 3) + TODO chantier section; BLK-011 finish/push marked.

- BLK-011 → resolved by REMOVAL (not by committing the orphan), with the TRUE
reason engraved: speculatively auto-bootstrapping an unused multi-session engine
at project creation is bad on its own terms. The initial "redundant with TODO"
framing is explicitly marked WRONG (gsd >> roadmap; TODO != gsd ROADMAP) — a
false reason that won't mislead a future reader. Reasoning trace kept: both
premises refuted on read, conclusion held for the stronger reason.
- LRN-072 — a stranded-artifact bug can be fixed by NOT creating the artifact
(negative diff), not by plumbing its commit; before building machinery, ask if
the PRODUCING step is wanted. Speculative-at-creation -> remove; deliberate-on-
demand -> keep. Family: BLK-010, BLK-011, BDR-036.
- journal 2026-06-29 (cont. 2) + TODO: BLK-011 line flipped, chantier section,
MINOR-gate FINISH marked merged. Index rows updated (blockers + learnings).
