Reconcile external-link and topic-relevance reach-loss framing to the algorithm-signals
SSOT across 6 files (10 edits): body links "correlate with lower reach" (LinkedIn denies
an intentional penalty), topic relevance is a positive ranking input with no quantified
off-topic figure. 3 plan-cited lines + 7 same-class siblings surfaced during verify.
Bucket B (link-penalty lines in linkedin-formats.md) folded into S28; Bucket D (other
unsourced reach-coefficients: -68%/-25%/-15-25%/-30-50%/55%) queued as new S30. Engagement-
pod + AI-slop "penalized" framing left intact (officially confirmed). Gate 81/0/0; counts
29/19 unchanged.

Router hardening (routing/agent/grant axes all PASS). Operator terminology rule: the "thought leadership" phrase must not appear in the plugin. Re-sourced the 2 occurrences in commands/linkedin.md (:4 frontmatter description, :16 body) to "LinkedIn Studio". Routing 28/28 + agent-pointers 10/10 resolve; grant-hygiene clean (no Glob orphan — third front-door). Surfaced plugin-wide (~85 lines / ~45 files) and promoted to S29 terminology-scrub in docs/hardening/plan.md.
Operator promoted open follow-up #1 (reference-consistency) to scheduled work —
all SSOT divergences must be fixed, planned across sessions rather than crammed.
Added two sessions to the queue, run after S26:
- S27 (A): "penalty/penalizes" framing -> SSOT (troubleshooting-guide.md:127,
analyze.md:102, audit.md:61 "topic-relevance penalty").
- S28 (B): format magnitudes -> SSOT (video.md:69, linkedin-formats.md
"30% zero-distribution").
Surgical SSOT-reconciliation of already-hardened files, NOT full re-hardening;
hardening-class (commit local, no push).

v1 (autonomous 5-step + reviewer swarm + /trekreview gate) produced confident
fabrications and burned context for what are usually 0-1 line edits. v2 is a
slow, dialogic, one-command-per-session gate with the operator as truth source
and every mechanical claim tool-grounded. Method, command-class predicates,
session queue, and STATE.md end-of-session handoff are documented in plan.md.

New phase after the baseline-audit remediation (S1-S17, bf9d432, complete):
a command-hardening pass that simulates each of the 29 commands and tightens
it to its stated intention (intention-fidelity + prompt-quality only — no
structural redesign, no new features, no GUI/M0). Runs over ~8 journey-grouped
Voyage sessions, gated by lint + /trekreview ALLOW before push.
Foundation laid this session (execution starts next session):
- docs/hardening/brief.md (valid; 3 locked forks: hybrid simulation,
intention-fidelity+prompt-quality, per-journey cadence; research skipped —
the 2026 bar is frozen in algorithm-signals-reference.md)
- docs/hardening/plan.md (8 sessions, Grade B+ 87)
Adversarial review: brief-reviewer PROCEED_WITH_RISKS (3 findings folded:
self-graded quality axis, SC-H deferral contradiction, no stopping rule);
plan-critic REVISE (2 blockers + 10 major — all addressed: anchored coverage
predicate kills substring false-positives, full-session cold-reviewer oracle
on concrete before/after output, per-type mechanical predicate, Failed:0 gate
not literal-74, S1 HALT circuit-breaker); scope-guardian ALIGNED.
