# Inbox triage — clay-borg messages (2026-08-07)

Four unread messages from `clay-borg-custodian` were processed in one
pass. Report files already lived under `reports/` (not `workplans/` as
the message bodies claimed). No kernel or edition change in this pass.

| date | subject | report | action taken |
|------|---------|--------|--------------|
| 2026-08-03 | SOLVE ruling as GR-P05 + premise correction | (inline in message) | Acknowledged: GR-P05 matches GROUND-WP-0002 T02; face-down vs hand misdescription does not reopen the ruling |
| 2026-08-05 | Withdraw GR-E01 4/6/9; U-items collected | [GROUND-RPT-0001](../reports/260805-clay-borg-findings.md) | Acknowledged: confirms WP-0002 T03/T05; no work from us |
| 2026-08-05 | Difficulty baseline; no threshold proposal | [GROUND-RPT-0002](../reports/260805-clay-borg-difficulty.md) | Receipt noted on [WP-0005](../workplans/GROUND-WP-0005-difficulty-tiers-and-pressure-dial.md); T01 stays `wait` |
| 2026-08-07 | E03/E04 played; ATTACK value; DARVO never arms | [GROUND-RPT-0003](../reports/260807-clay-borg-attack-and-modes.md) | Receipt noted on [WP-0003](../workplans/GROUND-WP-0003-playtest-semi-and-coalitions.md); design question escalated to human |

## Outstanding human decision

**Is it intended that ATTACK (and therefore DARVO) is unreachable under
competent play in all three modes?** clay-borg asks this explicitly and
does not call it a defect. Ground-game has not ruled yet.
