codex b5730f280b fix(workplans): adopt ADR-007 derived identifiers
Records absent from central carried random pre-ADR-007 identifiers minted by
the retired local hub, which C-06 refused as stale references. Deriving from
the canonical record id takes no identity from anything.

Experiment H2 — scoped problem stress (personal / bond / global)

Hypothesis

If unclaimed Problems apply End stress only to their stress_scope, with mostly personal, one bond at 3p+, and rare global (Surface), then some seats can climb toward DARVO without taxing the whole table into zero group wins — and bond-scoped cards give the Bond network a shared reason to SOLVE.

Scopes

stress_scope End +1 Stress while unclaimed goes to…
global every seat
personal assigned owner only
bond owner + every seat in the owners Bond network (Bond edges only). No Bonds → behaves as personal

SOLVE: any seat with matching suit may claim any Problem (owner need not solve). Clearing a bond card is a network public good — that is intentional.

Assignment in this package

By hidden_priority in Problems.csv:

priority scope in play at
0 Surface global all seats
1 personal 2p+
2 personal 2p+
3 bond 3p+ only
4 personal 5p+ only

Owners: non-global in-play Problems, ascending priority, round-robin clockwise from Lead.

Bond incentive (design intent)

Bond is still the regulation tool (2 Stress, cancel DARVO). Bond-scope pressure spreads cost across the network so partners are incentivised to clear that card together rather than leave one seat to melt alone. Measure whether networks SOLVE bond cards faster or avoid Bonding.

Not in H2

  • H1 flat global +1 for “any open problem”
  • H1-B ATTACK self-soothe
  • Owner-only SOLVE, shadow goals, competence track

Simulation

Select variant_id: h2-scoped-problem-stress. Implement rules_delta.yaml (H2-SCOPE, H2-OWN, H2-A, H2-SOLVE). Compare to ground-darvo-r0 and optionally h1-problem-stress.
