Session 146 fixed `--run-id` across the seven doors and called it a class. It was not: the class
is every caller-supplied value that reaches a file name, and `write_outbox` composes
`{run_id}-{approach_id}`. Measured 20.09 -- `--approach-id a/../../../ESCAPE` answered 0 and put
the artefacts three levels above the directory the caller named. Counted rather than assumed: 11
path compositions in `outbox.py`, 2 such values, both now through one `_checked_name`.
The ledger sentence that said containment was UNREACHABLE after the string rule was untrue, and
the approach-id escape is the disproof -- the removed check would have caught it. It is back, but
in `outbox._artefact_path`, where the composition is, not in the door. That is the difference
that makes it reachable: the string rule lives in the door, while `run.py` hands its own
`--run-id` straight to the writers and goes past it. Checked before the directory is created, so
a refusal leaves nothing behind, and it covers the next flag someone interpolates into a name.
The judge's exact call now answers 3 with 0 files outside. Suite 2291/0/5/5 (746 s), ruff clean,
mypy 0. Both gates re-run after `git add`: v1 exit 1 (0/3, 0/3, 3/8, no report, 3/8, NOT
MEASURED, 1/20), B exit 1 (15/17, 0/2, 15/15 over 516 files, 0/3, 4/5, NOT MEASURED) -- no row
moved, and row 3's denominator held because the probe grew in place rather than as a new file.
Also: the presentation deck said 1.1.0 was the current version in two places. 1.2.0 now stands in
every tracked place that claims the repo's version. No bump, no tag, no new capability.

Two rows and the matching CHANGELOG entries. The first records the measurement rather than
the decision: `--outbox-dir <d>/inni --run-id ../../ESCAPE` answered 0 and wrote two levels
above the directory the caller named, on a door whose directory argument was already
guarded. It also records the check that did NOT survive -- the containment half was
unreachable after the string rule and is written down as dead code removed, not as a second
layer of defence.
The second row is the smaller and older failure: a rule called load-bearing in prose, with
no arm that would notice if it were deleted.

The row the seam needs: why the outcome is derived rather than declared (the writer
branches on the TYPE, so a door taking it as an argument would let anyone author an
outbox of claims), why the outbox directory is always the caller's to name, why the
shape guard is a 3 and not a 2, and where the ground truth for each probe comes from.
It also writes down what did NOT move and why, so the next session does not rediscover
it: `rundebinding` and `rapport` share `round_builder`'s `main` with nothing in argv to
tell them apart, and `build_report` is a sub-step of `build_round` — a `report`
subcommand would be new capability, not a door over an existing step.

The ledger row for toolbox step 3: what was built, the row-1 movement (5 -> 8 of 17), the
int/float measurement that decided how the door reads a proposal, the exit-3 carrier for a
blocked proposal, the fasit each probe uses outside the door, and the stage the door does NOT
expose (P7 input grounding) with the reason.

The constant-sync gate is fail-closed on a name it cannot find, and it searches the package's top
level; `RUNBOOK_MIN_BODY` lives in `evals/b_gate.py`. Citing it as `NAME = value` therefore read as
a claim about a constant that does not exist. Same shape as the note at the top of this file about
the finding-99 row, and the same repair: the name in the span, the value in prose.
Caught by the suite, not by reading.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
One row for the whole delivery: why `portfolio-optimiser-toolbox` is the third console script (it
is the one thing the other two cannot be used for), what each subcommand is bound to, why every
handler is a thin adapter and every dispatch an explicit branch, and how the probes assert on what
the door wrote rather than on the function it calls.
Plus the third repair of B-gate's binding with its measurements: the judge's seven forms at 0 of 1,
the naming rule turned into a discriminator, named-prose reasons, row 3 at 15 of 15 over 514 files,
and the runbook heading that is no longer a section. The row states its own limit (the gate reads
that the probe drives the door; it does not re-run the probe with the door broken) and records that
N7 stays open in the gate and closed in the suite.
The mutation run is in the row because two of its findings could not have come from reading: the
dead-code pruning survived two mutants until the arms that reach it were written, and three
mutants are named as non-measurements (two renamed a label, one was equivalent).

The measured escape: a runbook that was the five contract-named headings plus "x" (125 characters
in all), with a correctly checksummed attestation, read `2 av 2 GRØNN`. Only a file whose whole
content was "x" had been refused -- the rule asked whether the section NAME appeared in the text,
never whether anything stood under it. A table of contents is not a runbook anyone can follow.
Section names are now bound to a HEADING line, and what counts is the body beneath it
(`section_bodies`, 80 non-whitespace characters as a floor). The row says so itself, and says what
the floor is not: a length is never a measure of whether the runbook is true. That stays the
operator's, which is why row 6 is still `IKKE MÅLT`.
Two rc-0 controls in the suite carried section bodies of "noe" and "steg 1: naviger pakken" -- both
would now fail on the new rule rather than on the rule they were written for, so both got a real
body. A control that falls on the wrong rule has stopped controlling.
Also: the one very long line in the ledger (the arm name mid-paragraph) rewrapped. Cosmetic, named
in the 2026-09-20 checkpoint's leftovers.
NOT taken from that same list: freezing the outbox shape so the round-builder's denominator arm
stops skipping outside a tree with `scratchpad/`. It needs a checked-in fixture of the measured
form, which is not the "only if cheap" the order allowed, and the checkpoint proposed no round for
it either.

Measured, not asserted: PM's P14 reproduced in BOTH directions (survived 43 of 43 pre-round arms,
felled by three arms after), 7 of 7 own mutants felled on AssertionError about behaviour with 0
IndexError, and the class the order named -- "an assert built from the binder's own table" --
counted at 4 of 12 rb.<table> assert sites and closed, with the independent side named for the
other eight.

Third writing of the same sentence, third time untrue. Measured in this working tree, by the arm
committed red before this one: FOUR of the five types outside the measured seven do not sit in an
outbox that also holds a coverage -- and for `plan-review` that says nothing at all, because the
type has 0 artefacts in the repo. `multibase` DOES sit there, in four outboxes
(`p17b-multibase/`, `p20-stress/`, `p21-stress/`, `p22-stress/`, all `lindaas`), and each of those
four holds TWO coverage files. That is why they fall outside the "exactly one coverage" rule the
union of seven is counted over -- and the same fact is the proof that seven is a FLOOR and not a
ceiling, which is the argument the false sentence was trying to make.
The comment above `_RUN_LEVEL_TYPES` carried the same claim in English and is corrected with it.
The arm now counts the outboxes and holds the ledger's row to the count, so a fourth writing is a
failing test rather than a review finding.

Row updated, not appended to: the B-gate invariant now carries both repairs of
19.09 and the numbers that moved in each. Two precision errors the checkpoint
named are corrected in place -- "no row became greener" is true of colour and not
of numbers (row 5 went 1 of 2 -> 4 of 5 when the unit was split), and ENTRY_KINDS
has three arts, not four.
What the new paragraph records: the probe binding and the two traps measured while
building it (substring, and a local module alias), the price in row 1 (3 of 17 ->
0 of 17, each of the three named with its reason), the limit statement that claimed
two remaining ways where six were measured -- four closed, three named and left
open with their reason -- the held_out door out of the denominator, the five small
holes closed and the two limits stated rather than closed, and the thirteenth
mutant: it survived twice, and the first arm written to fell it proved something
already true.

Row 1 goes 3 of 17 -> 0 of 17. Nothing was removed from the product and no row
changed colour; the three that counted stopped counting because the contract they
satisfied was satisfiable without capability.
BEARING 1 -- the probe is bound to the step, and the binding is MEASURED in the
probe's own source. Chosen: read the probe (ast) rather than demand it live in a
contract-named file, because a file name is a convention a stub meets as easily as a
real probe. Three traits, each measured: it drives the DOOR (the dotted module or the
registered command name appears as a string it uses -- anywhere but a docstring,
because the honest form assembles argv in a variable first), it names the STEP (the
symbol, id or subcommand as a whole WORD in what it passes INTO a call or calls), and
it asserts at all. A probe claimed by two steps proves at most one and the gate cannot
tell which -- so neither.
Two traps found while measuring, both closed:
- substring: "gate" is not named by portfolio_optimiser.evals.v1_gate
- local alias: the first cut accepted step `gate` because the probe file imports the
module AS `gate`. Names are therefore read only where they are sent or called.
What that costs, measured against the contract that stands:
rundebinding drives the door, names no step (was green)
rapport never goes through the door at all (was green)
gate drives the door, names no step (was green)
BEARING 2 -- the limit statement said exactly TWO ways remained; the checkpoint
planted 21 call forms and measured SIX. Four are closed with a guard each (the
official Python SDK in both spellings, the node and uv runners, a dynamic import);
three remain and are now named: a runtime-composed name, a name from an environment
variable, a base64-decoded name. Left open deliberately -- the encodings are not
enumerable and our own contract stores base64 by design. Row 3: 9 of 9 -> 12 of 12,
still GREEN, 0 hits over 512 files. One of the three caught a command written in this
round's own test docstring; it was rewritten, not exempted.
BEARING 3 -- held_out accepted an EMPTY reason and shrank the denominator, while the
summary said "held out with a reason" either way. A blank reason is no reason: the
symbol stays in the denominator as a call without a door, the summary counts reasons,
and the four steps declared OUTSIDE the run path are now named one by one as having no
derived source instead of being counted in silence.
Five small rests, closed: a pruned manifest (451 of 512 was still GREEN) is now NOT
MEASURED, one sentinel per area the old handlist missed; a non-UTF-8 file is read as
byte text instead of counted and skipped; a symlink out of the tree is named and
fails the row; a runbook whose whole content is "x" no longer passes, the contract
names its sections; and the row states that its ratio is not a coverage measure.
Two stated, not closed, each with its reason in the row's own attestation: a po call
moved one floor down into a helper leaves the denominator (following helpers would
pull private ones in and make the denominator the curated list this row exists to
avoid), and row 3's k/n can still be padded by a guard with no measured escape behind
it. The ledger's two precision errors are corrected: "no row became greener" is true
of colour, not of numbers, and ENTRY_KINDS has three arts, not four.
Suite: 2172 passed, 5 skipped, 5 xfailed in 645 s. ruff and mypy clean.

The round binder's row gets its two corrected denominators, and the first screen gets a row of
its own: what survived, why none of it was a code defect, and why that makes "red first"
impossible to satisfy with a commit rather than with a mutant run.
The 7-type sentence said "en ekte kjøring" and measured four archived runs. Re-counted: `run.py`
calls TEN of outbox.py's ten writers, so five more types exist; and the union over every outbox
in this repo with exactly one coverage (15 directories, of 25 coverage files in 20 directories)
is also 7. Seven is the floor the measurement gives, not a ceiling — the binder copies on a glob,
not on that list.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The row claimed three things the checkpoint measured as false: that every denominator comes from
the source (row 1's M=13 was a curated list in the gate's own b_gate.json), that the surface is
what is published (it was a hand list of eleven roots seeing 433 of 512 files), and that the gate
counts an MCP-registered door as callable (there was no code for it — "kind" appeared 0 times).
The 435-file figure was the working tree, two gitignored .local.md files included, so it was not
reproducible from the commit either.
Rewritten to what is true after the repair, with the old numbers kept as history so the row reads
as a correction and not as a clean slate: 3 of 17 · 0 of 2 · 9 of 9 · 0 of 3 · 4 of 5 · IKKE MAALT.
The markdown-fence rule's own measurement is refreshed too: on the bigger surface it now carries
TWO prose lines, not one — the second is a plan document quoting a command the operator ran in his
own session.

The round builder's row claimed "et sitat bærer ANTALLET siterte steder. Load-bearing
MÅLT" for a half that was not measured: the mutant dropping the count survived the whole
suite. The claim is true from today, and the row now says from WHEN — a ledger that
back-dates a measurement is worth less than one that admits the gap.
The new row records what the checkpoint found and what it cost to close: seven mutants
survived, none of them because the code was wrong, all of them because no arm looked.
Three were unreachable rather than merely unmeasured — the fixture wrote three of seven
artefact types, and every proposal carried the same citation stamp, so "1 av 1 siterte
steder" could not tell a dropped count from a kept one.
The denominator is written with its method, not as a number to be remembered: over the
four archived runs, -06/-07/-08 hold all seven types and -04 holds six (parse-failures is
written only when something failed to parse, so its absence is the signal). Union = 7,
from two commands.
And the citation cause is recorded as a measurement rather than a diagnosis, because
"the builder reads the wrong field" and "the outbox says the same thing five times"
want opposite fixes: one sha256 across all five proposals, in all four runs.

Repo convention: every measured decision gets a row in the ledger with the load-bearing test that
turns red when the decision is undone. The row records the three choices the gate states in its
own output (CLI door over MCP, no budget ceiling in toolbox mode, row 6 never green without the
operator), the base64 reason, and the eight mutants that fell in the scratch clone — including
M-6, which shows row 3's green is a measurement and not a vacuous zero: without the
fenced-block rule one prose line in a research doc turns the row red.
v1 gate re-measured after the work: 0/3 · 0/3 · 3/8 · ingen rapport · 3/8 · IKKE MÅLT · 1/20 —
unchanged. PLAN.md § Ferdig-kriteriet untouched, as the order required.
Suite after git add: 2106 passed / 5 skipped / 5 xfailed, rc=0.

python -m portfolio_optimiser.evals.round_builder --outbox <dir> --round <n> --ran-at <ISO>
writes <rounds-dir>/<n>/ with the run's artefacts COPIED in, outcome.json derived from that
copy, and report.md -- the one artefact in a round a domain expert reads and corrects. Round 0
of the v1 criterion can now be made; it counted 0 of 3 because it could not be, which is a
different failure from a round nobody had held.
What it derives it derives with the gate's own functions rather than a second copy: verify_run
decides whether the run stands up to itself (an artefact contradicting its coverage row, a
half-missing family and a stray artefact are all refused AT THE SOURCE, before a byte is
written), stage_of gives column (c), row_changed gives the report's "changed since the previous
round", parse_time refuses a stamp without a zone, safe_rounds_dir refuses a round directory the
repo would commit. The validated total is ledger.to_ore per amount, summed as integers.
Two things it never does, and both are the point. It never writes the operator's attestation --
the gate stops at FORM OK without one, and that is correct, because no arrangement of files can
witness that a run happened. And it never invents: --ran-at is required because no outbox
artefact carries a clock, and feedback_ids stays empty because no run records which feedback
item produced which row. The report says "ingen tilbakemelding forklarer dette" on every changed
row rather than hiding that model noise and an answered objection look alike.
Chosen and why: --ran-at as a required argument rather than the coverage file's mtime, because
an mtime is a filesystem attribute one call sets and reading it as evidence made row 2 green on
a tree nothing had run in (18.09). The report carries no raw stage identifier -- every stage
sentence is "<short name>: <explanation>" so the one-line diff of what changed has words a
reader can act on. A citation shows its COUNT, because a run that cited 446 places and one that
cited one must not look the same.
[skip-docs]: the ledger row is in docs/invarianter.md, which is where this repo's rules live.
README is the product's front door and this is an operator tool behind `python -m`, the same
class as costsim/hitl/preflight, which README deliberately does not carry; v1-rounds/ is
gitignored internal machinery and the gate itself is not in README either. CLAUDE.md was emptied
of exactly this kind of row in session 130 and is not the place to put one back.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
CLAUDE.md had grown to 310 919 bytes against Claude Code's 150 000-character
injection limit, so every row past the cut reached no session. The 93 measured
rows move to docs/invarianter.md in their original order; CLAUDE.md keeps the
eight short standing rules and a pointer, and says new rows are written there.
Verified as a partition: every moved line appears in the original section in
order, the eight kept rows likewise, and head/tail of CLAUDE.md are byte-
identical apart from the visitor note. One code span is reworded and the ledger
head says so: the funn 99 row cited MAF's DEFAULT_MAX_CONSECUTIVE_ERRORS_PER_
REQUEST with its value inside the span, which the doc-constant-sync gate reads
as a citation of a constant in this package (fail-closed on an unknown name).
The ledger is registered in _LIVE_DOCS, so that gate now also guards it.
