feat(attest-demo-ux): canned interventions re-render the WHOLE on-page pipeline, not just the floating · v2.32.0

Fixes the 'feels canned' behavior: the on-page walk grid (3×2) + fail-mode grid
(2×3) now SWAP to the fired scenario's real pre-rendered pipeline panels — so a
canned intervention (Faithful · Sledgehammer · Analysis→Execution · Force-Tie)
moves the whole page (all walks, deltas, tolerances, encircled) together, not just
the floating panel. Each scenario carries its full panel set (walk gzip+walk per
corpus, delta/tolerance/encircled per fail mode), pre-rendered by the real pipeline;
0-region encircled slots fall back to the page PNG so nothing zeroes out.

Free-text edits drive the live gzip analogue (reef grids + distances + verdict);
the section now says so explicitly, so a still on-page walk on free-text reads as
intentional (live-Rust redraw of arbitrary text is the stated horizon), not broken.

Note: 'Faithful → out of lane' was a stale pre-regen render — it correctly loads
IN_LANE now (dI 0.227 « dN 0.685, 25% drift < 29% threshold).

Verified in jsdom: firing Sledgehammer changes mg-encA + both walk panels + the
floating; encB correctly holds the page fallback (0-region); verdict OFF_DOMAIN.

Story: 'the on-page walks and encircled don't update on perturbations — makes you think it's canned if they don't all move.' Now every canned intervention re-renders the entire on-page pipeline from that scenario's real run, so it visibly moves as one; free-text uses the labeled live analogue.

◎ 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: npx thetacog-mcp attest-demo

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: 1082 green, 1064 amber, 0 red → off-lane 19% against a 25% tolerance — in lane, some bleed.

A1,A2 — Strategy·Law × Strategy·Goal (actor) acting on B2,A2 — Tactics·Deal × Strategy·Goal (patient) · grip 0.797
actor seed A1,A2 — Legal binding mandates and governance rules dictate how a quarterly goal position is occupied and secured. 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. The target is the cell coordinate the system MUST occupy by end-of-quarter. Anything that does not drive toward that coordinate is exhaust, and exhaust does not become substrate by being labelled progress. 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. Vision is the coordinate the lattice rotates around — the fixed bearing every iteration is measured against. Without the fixed point, motion is movement; with the fixed point, motion is convergence. 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. Define the goal as a verifiable predicate, not a feeling. The system terminates when the predicate evaluates true, and the predicate is what the next agent inherits when this one hands off. 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. A goal that cannot be tested is a wish. Wishes have no termination condition, so they consume budget forever; goals have a finish line and therefore a payable price.
patient seed B2,A2 — Negotiation rates for a deal are adjusted to meet the quarterly goal and target position. The target is the cell coordinate the system MUST occupy by end-of-quarter. Anything that does not drive toward that coordinate is exhaust, and exhaust does not become substrate by being labelled progress. Vision is the coordinate the lattice rotates around — the fixed bearing every iteration is measured against. Without the fixed point, motion is movement; with the fixed point, motion is convergence. Define the goal as a verifiable predicate, not a feeling. The system terminates when the predicate evaluates true, and the predicate is what the next agent inherits when this one hands off. A goal that cannot be tested is a wish. Wishes have no termination condition, so they consume budget forever; goals have a finish line and therefore a payable price. The deal sets the exchange rate between two value substrates. Mis-priced exchange is a slow-bleed; correctly priced exchange compounds both sides, because each cycle of trade enriches the bench on both ends. Terms are the API between two organizations — every clause is a contract method that survives the handshake. Renegotiation is the breaking change; the deal is the stable interface either side can build against. Negotiation closes at the moment both parties' BATNAs cross. Push past that point and you've bought regret at retail; stop short and you've left margin on the table that the next deal will not return to you. A signed counterparty is more valuable than an unsigned promise. The signature is the substrate; the conversation that preceded it is the exhaust the signature converted into substrate.

feat(attest-demo-ux): canned interventions re-render the WHOLE on-page pipeline, not just the floating · v2.32.0

Fixes the 'feels canned' behavior: the on-page walk grid (3×2) + fail-mode grid
(2×3) now SWAP to the fired scenario's real pre-rendered pipeline panels — so a
canned intervention (Faithful · Sledgehammer · Analysis→Execution · Force-Tie)
moves the whole page (all walks, deltas, tolerances, encircled) together, not just
the floating panel. Each scenario carries its full panel set (walk gzip+walk per
corpus, delta/tolerance/encircled per fail mode), pre-rendered by the real pipeline;
0-region encircled slots fall back to the page PNG so nothing zeroes out.

Free-text edits drive the live gzip analogue (reef grids + distances + verdict);
the section now says so explicitly, so a still on-page walk on free-text reads as
intentional (live-Rust redraw of arbitrary text is the stated horizon), not broken.

Note: 'Faithful → out of lane' was a stale pre-regen render — it correctly loads
IN_LANE now (dI 0.227 « dN 0.685, 25% drift < 29% threshold).

Verified in jsdom: firing Sledgehammer changes mg-encA + both walk panels + the
floating; encB correctly holds the page fallback

③ the numbers, contextualized — value · band · verdict · percentile · what it leads to
shape-match σ · -0.65 noise p0 of last 10
no measurable relation between the work and the declared spec → do not act on the panels — on a docs-only commit this is expected; otherwise fix the ingest and re-run
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) · 1082 green · 1064 amber · 0 red · off-lane 19% bleeding p50 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 · 10% overlapping p75 of last 10
the two ingests share real ground without being copies — the healthy middle → nothing to do — this is the healthy shape
good looks like: green overlap WITHOUT being a copy — near-100% is self-similarity (a docs-only read), not alignment
drift (XOR %) · 1.992% of compared cells disagree close p100 of last 10
intent and reality mostly agree cell-for-cell → nothing to chase
the walks (how the heatmaps were made) · intent 143 hops → ply 6 · reality 140 hops → ply 6 · 166ms 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 C,A1 · C,A3 · C,C3, reality at C,C1 · A1,C1 · A2,B1 — 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 1939/20736 (9.4%) · reality 2146/20736 (10.3%) flooded
too much lit — a flooded lattice makes every commit look alike (the AR-2 failure shape) → tighten θ or the claim budget — see anti-rules ledger AR-2 (unguided floods)
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) · 0.6 (n=10) → target 6 weak distance 0.9 · read the maps as sketch, not evidence — converge the seed library before citing this
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

# 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.
This is the on-chip drift receipt for commit f29ae6487, the same artifact emailed on commit — published so the claim is verifiable on the open web. Recompute it yourself: npx thetacog-mcp attest-demo.
