Two rules, two different answers, which is the point of a task phrased
"implement, or amend and say why".
K18 is implemented. "Criterion benches driving the same scenario format at
scale" was false — the bench hardcoded its commands and never touched
ScenarioFile, while MetricsAndScenarios §3 pointed at a benchmarks/
directory containing only baselines/. benchmarks/synthetic-3p.yaml now
holds the workload and both the bench and bench_shape read it: the
workload is data, not code.
A second defect surfaced while fixing the first. After the bench switched
to the file, bench_shape still hardcoded the same sequence, so the
workload existed twice — deleting end_round from the YAML broke bench-test
while bench_shape kept passing. Duplicated-fact drift in executable form.
Both now read the same include_str! and deleting a command breaks both.
Explicitly not claimed: this does not unblock AM-3. AM-3's baseline is a
declarative game object — moves, turn order, rules. synthetic-3p.yaml is a
command list; the rules live in games/ground. Marking it as AM-3's subject
would compare a script to a game definition, which is the category error
AM-3 is blocked on. The file says so in its own header, where the next
person will be tempted.
K14 is amended. CommitWindow had zero non-test users and GROUND enforces
the same contract inline. Wiring GROUND through it was rejected: it would
change the serialized shape of `selections`, which four scenario files
assert by dot-path and every state hash depends on, for the sole benefit
of making a sentence literally true.
The deciding argument is INTENT's, not convenience: abstractions are
extracted from working games rather than invented in isolation, and no
concept becomes canonical until it survives a second concrete use.
CommitWindow was invented before any game needed it and has survived none.
Imposing it on GROUND would manufacture the first use rather than discover
it. So K14 states what is actually guaranteed, CommitWindow is marked
provisional in the source, and it carries a delete-by date of 2026-12-31.
Kernel spec->code link 16/18 -> 18/18, stated with the caveat the gate
prints every run: that is about names, not assertions.
Two self-tests broke and both broke correctly. rule-coverage's gate test
hardcoded "unlinked rules exist today" and failed when the last one was
linked; it now computes that and asserts the gate fails iff rules are
unlinked. facts' text check rejected k_unlinked once it became
legitimately empty; empty now renders as "(none)" and the check
distinguishes absent from empty.
M-D1-MUT: 8 of 14, unchanged — K14 and K18 are kernel rules, not
acceptance rows.

INTENT design decision 8 of 10, unimplemented for six passes. cb-sim had
no flag parsing at all, so --replay had nowhere to go.
The bundle is manifest + commands.log + initial.snapshot + expected.yaml,
dev-only behind the scenarios feature and charged to AM-4b. The command
stream goes through the K11 framing built in T05, so a truncated bundle is
detected rather than replayed short — the two tasks compose rather than
duplicating.
The reviewer's D2 correction was real: this was not "a directory of four
files". Pass carried only the end state, RunOutcome::Failed was a
formatted String, and scenario.rs created an EventLog, appended to it and
never read it. All three had to change.
The first round trip failed to reproduce, and the cause is worth keeping:
state_hash_hex over a serde_json::Value is a different canonical form than
over the typed aggregate — Value's map is key-sorted, a struct serializes
in declaration order. The bundle was written with one basis and verified
with the other. A round trip written to recompute its own comparison value
would have PASSED this bug; it failed because the recorded hash came from
the producing process, which is control 2's entire purpose.
make replay-test implements ADR-0005 §6's four controls, 14/14: a
committed deliberately-failing fixture outside the corpus with covers: []
so it neither fails `make sim` nor inflates AM-1; a tampered recorded hash
must fail; a log short by one byte and a corrupted length prefix must be
rejected; and a mutated manifest seed must fail — which bites only because
replay re-derives the initial state from seed+setup and checks it against
the recorded snapshot, since restoring from the snapshot alone would leave
the seed inert. Plus a control on the controls: the bundle must still
replay after every mutation is reverted.
AM-7's hash-identical clause is re-earned. The probe records a hash per
per-game segment and replays each from its own genesis; folding from the
wrong seed now fails. That is the clause ADR-0005 §4 withdrew as
mutation-proven inert. The scaling >= 0.9x clause is still unenforced, so
AM-7 stays PARTIAL — reported, not rounded up.
Kernel coverage 15/18 -> 16/18. facts-check immediately caught the spec's
copy of that number going stale, on a number that moved the same hour.

K11 is implemented: crates/cb-events/src/store.rs, magic + version header,
4-byte little-endian length prefix, append-only. Reimplemented not
assimilated per ADR-0005 §2 — no new dependency, and AM-4a/AM-4b are
unchanged at 246,250 / 317,021 because nothing entered the graph.
The operative clause is "detected", so corruption is tested rather than
assumed: a tail short by one byte, a half-written length prefix, a length
prefix corrupted to claim more than the file holds, foreign magic, and a
future format version are each rejected with a distinct error. A reader
that accepts a truncated tail is worse than no format, because it silently
returns a short history that looks complete.
AM-11 is earned. LogStore has two impls — MemLogStore and FileLogStore —
driven through ONE conformance(). The trait carries raw/set_raw precisely
so the corruption controls live in the shared suite: a format contract
that only one impl enforces is not a contract. The same shape is
retro-fitted to KernelRng, which is what AM-11 actually names: ChaChaRng
and NullRng now pass one suite asserting bounds, draw(1) == 0, determinism
across fresh instances, and shuffle preserving the multiset. They were
previously exercised by two separate tests, which is why "met, narrow" was
never earned and ADR-0005 §4 downgraded it.
K9 gets the assertion it did not have: snapshot at seq N + events N+1..M
must equal the from-genesis fold, hash-compared, on GroundState,
single-seed on purpose — AM-7's probe folds a multi-seed log, which is not
a replay of anything, and that defect is not repeated. Two positive
controls: the log must exceed 50 events, and the mid-log snapshot must
differ from the end state or "apply the remainder" is vacuous.
Proof it works: the exact mutation that SURVIVED in CB-WP-0005 — making
Snapshot::take discard its EventSeq — now fails on the K9 assertion.
AM-11's mutation breaks NullRng::draw to return its bound and the shared
suite fails. That is what M-D4-SWAP claims — either impl substitutable —
and exactly what two separate per-impl tests could never demonstrate.
M-D1-MUT: 7 -> 8 of 14. CB-EV-0001's scoreboard is refreshed: AM-2, AM-5
and AM-9 added, AM-6 moved to enforced, and the headline total corrected
from 4 to 8 — it had gone stale inside the same workplan that produced it.

T03 reported AM-5 at 87.0 s / 61.3 s and called it a 45% breach of the
60 s target. Re-measured with the fixed instrument on a quiet machine:
load before measuring: 0.14 per CPU over 8 CPUs — quiet
dev toolchain (default features) 37.3 s [ok target <= 60 s]
best of 3: 37.3, 42.9, 46.2 (spread 1.24x)
shipped runtime (--no-default-features) 41.2 s [ok target <= 60 s]
best of 3: 41.2, 50.8, 54.2 (spread 1.32x)
AM-5 is MET with 1.6x headroom. The 87.0 s was measured while the machine
was busy with mutation-check and cargo builds — a timing measurement under
contention measures the contention.
That is the same error class as AM-6's, committed two tasks later in the
same session by the same author, in the row immediately after the one
where it was diagnosed. Knowing the failure mode did not prevent it; only
building the guard did. That is the InnerLoop v1.2 design-goal argument
holding up under a third instance: optimize for cheap correction, because
prevention keeps not converging.
The instrument now refuses to measure above 0.5 load per CPU, takes the
best of 3, and warns when the spread exceeds 1.25x. Best, not worst: a
build-time ceiling asks whether the machine can do it in 60 s, the mirror
of AM-6's best-of-N for a throughput floor. The spread warning fired on
the shipped-runtime samples — consecutive clean builds degrade 37.3 ->
46.2 — so a quiet machine is not a uniform one either.
The escalation to a maintainer decision is withdrawn: there is no breach.
The build profiling done while the breach was believed real is recorded in
the log rather than acted on — 174 s of CPU work at only 3.2x parallelism
on 8 cores, a ~22 s serial proc-macro chain, lto=thin worth ~6 s, and
pinning ppv-lite86 to drop zerocopy making it worse (23 -> 25 crates).
With 1.6x headroom there is nothing to buy.

loop-lint failed at 427 lines. Third workplan in this project to cross the
~400-line loadability limit, which makes it structural rather than a
formatting nuisance: delivery notes accumulate in a file whose job is to
state intent, and every remaining task would push it further over.
history/260801-cb-wp-0006-log.md now holds the per-task narrative; the
workplan keeps a one-line pointer per task. 427 -> 270 lines, with room
for T05-T09. T08 draws on both.
Same fix shape as CB-WP-0005, where the limit exposed a circular reference
rather than mere length. A gate that keeps finding real structure is worth
more than its stated rule.
