feat(attest): demo readiness — mechanical pre-flight go/no-go + actuarial agenda + pre-built cache attest-preflight.mjs verifies the 5 demo requirements as pure functions of the code + pre-built artifacts (no LLM, no network): cache present · faithful→IN_LANE · sledgehammer→OFF_DOMAIN · force-tie→UNPLACEABLE · same-input determinism · canonical ShortLex labels · air-gap (no external fetch) · WebCrypto+JS fallback · full branching export · live tape poll · branching scrubber. Prints 🟢 GO / 🔴 NO-GO. Current: 11/11 GO. attest-demo-agenda.html — print-safe actuarial/broker agenda (5 phases: actuarial gap → instrument+safety valve → live decoherence → flight-tape audit → pricing), with the terminal trigger for each phase and the language discipline (say "decoherence", never "LLM"). Regenerated the docs/pmu cache with the loop wired in so the demo folder is pre-built (0ms render during the call; the CLI perturb is the live trigger). Originating-Terminal: 🎩 operator Relevant-Rooms: 🎩 operator, 🧪 laboratory, ☕ network Story: The operator's "set the exact demo requirements first, then make an agenda." Encoding the requirements as a runnable go/no-go means the harness proves its own demo-readiness — the same discipline (measure, don't assert) applied to the pitch itself.

◎ COMPETENCE SHAPE — the leaf walk, encircled
the shape the off-lane % describes — each cluster ringed in its own colour, numbered, located on the 144-anchor lattice
each region is where the leaf walk — the recursive definer-of-definer walk on the chip — lit reality outside the declared intent lane. Named, ranged and read below deterministically, with zero model in the loop — recompute the identical bytes yourself:

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: 352 green, 406 amber, 1275 red → off-lane 63% against a 25% tolerance — ⚠ TOO MANY out-of-lane — drifting.

B,B1 — Tactics × Tactics·Speed (actor) acting on B,C1 — Tactics × Operations·Grid (patient) · grip 0.828
actor seed B,B1 — Choosing tactics requires precise timing and beat to maintain velocity and avoid missed speed opportunities. Latency is the price of a missed beat. Every hundred milliseconds of round-trip turns a parallel race into a stalemate, because the first arrival sets the rules the second arrival has to honor. Throughput compounds: doubling the rate doubles the surface area where serendipity can hit. A pipeline at twice the velocity is not twice as productive — it is exponentially more lucky. Time-to-first-byte is the only number the operator feels at the wheel. Optimize the felt latency before the raw throughput; the operator's grip on the loop is what drives the loop forward. 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 B,C1 — Leverage in tactics determines the timing of power flow through the infrastructure grid and route topology. Power flows where the grid lets it. Choose connections before topologies; the topology is what the connections compose, and a connection added later is a topology silently rewritten. Latency is geography expressed in milliseconds. The grid IS the map of where compute meets storage meets bandwidth; the map is the territory at the scale the request actually traverses. Infrastructure decisions are reversible at ten-times the cost of being right the first time. Buy the irreversibility down before you provision the easy decisions, because the easy decisions ride on the irreversible ones. A connection between two systems is a contract that outlasts the systems on either end. Wire-protocols outlive the processes they connect; the wire is the substrate, the endpoints are the exhaust. 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 walks (how the heatmaps were made) · intent 115 hops → ply 8 · reality 141 hops → ply 7 · 149ms 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 B1,C2 · B2,A · B2,A3, reality at A1,A3 · C1,A1 · C3,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 1339/20736 (6.5%) · reality 2033/20736 (9.8%) 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_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_drift (commit panel, median last 10 non-docs-only) · 1.27 (n=10) → target 6 weak distance 0.79 · read the maps as sketch, not evidence — converge the seed library before citing this
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

PMU × NCD interleave: gzip-NCD compresses each claim onto the 144 ShortLex anchors (the decidable where) → its top landings seed the real recursive definer walk, which fans out ballistically row→significant-column→transpose→recurse on chip (the shape) → σ = the fraction of the ANSWERED work's shape inside the ASK's. Compression says where; the walk says how much.

--- spec_id: reef-the-spec-and-sign to_room: laboratory from_room: operator reef_ref: CLAUDE.md (PMU competence-walk HARD RULE) + scripts/pmu/attest-demo.mjs originating_commit: 5c385860b status: draft --- # Laboratory 🧪 — Reef-the-spec + A↔B signing → the delegation drift receipt ## WHY (authored in Operator) The delegation itself should be **measured**, not trusted. The author room (actor) signs the spec as intent; the executing room (patient) signs delivered work; the real on-chip walk measures the drift = "did the room build what the spec asked." That makes the actor–patient pair the delegation subdivision, and dogfoods the signing mesh locally as a rehearsal for the internet-wide version. This is also what unblocks Builder's R6. ## REQUIREMENTS (falsifiable) - **R1 — reef-from-spec.** A command that compiles an arbitrary markdown spec → a reef seeded from *its own* vocabulary (NOT the generic 144-tile library). *Check:* feeding `builder-npx-underwriter-package.md` yields a reef whose anchors come from that spec. - **R2 — A↔B signing.** Node A (author room) ed25519-signs the reef/intent commitment; node B (executing room) signs the delivered-work payload. The two signatures + the drift receipt form one transaction. *Check:* two distinct host keys appear on the receipt. - **R3 — The REAL walk (HARD RULE).** Run the **real recursive on-chip ballistic walk** (`pmu-onchip --ballistic`, connectivity lattice, row→column→row recursion) with spec=intent, delivered-work=reality. **NEVER** the analytic `mode=converged`/diffusion shortcut, a diagonal/identity grid, a JS BFS, or Monte-Carlo-as-the-walk. Speed is a correctness signal (~14ms, not ~21s). *Check:* `tests/pmu-simulator/competence-walk-is-real.test.mjs` stays green; the walk propagates past ply 1. - **R4 — Drift receipt.** Output = a signed receipt stating whether the delivered work cohered with the spec (σ + verdict + triptych). *Check:* run Spec A as reef, Builder's package as payload → a signed σ. - **R5 — Local mesh dogfood.** Run the whole A↔B loop on this repo's rooms locally, as the rehearsal for the internet-wide mesh. *Check:* a local two-node transaction completes end-to-end. ## ACCEPTANCE Take this delegation set as the test: Spec A (reef/intent) signed by Operator-as-node-A, Builder's delivered npx package (reality) signed by Builder-as-node-B → the real ballistic walk produces a signed drift receipt with a σ that says whether Builder built what the spec asked. Respect the competence-walk HARD RULE; that's the whole differentiator.
