Extends GROUND-WP-0002 as a file rather than an inbox message -- the message of 2026-07-30 sat unread for four days, and the failure was that nothing pointed at it. clay-borg retracts "4/6/9 against 5/7/9, no dataset reconciles them." With Problems.csv imported the measurement is 6/9/12 against 5/7/9 and the scenario is renamed -unreachable- to -reachable-, confirming this repo's 2026-08-03 void ruling from the engine side. It was still queued to be re-sent until clay-borg's adversarial review caught it. Also acknowledges that all ten U-item rulings of 2026-08-03 had not been collected by clay-borg -- its own survey still said "0 of 10 ruled" two days later. No ruling is requested in this report.

# clay-borg finding report — 2026-08-05
|
||
|
||
Generated from clay-borg's finding register
|
||
(`specs/GroundRules.md`, `make design`) under
|
||
[CB-WP-0022](../../clay-borg/workplans/CB-WP-0022-the-design-instrument.md) T06.
|
||
|
||
**This is a file, not an inbox message, and that is the point.** The
|
||
message of 2026-07-30 sat unread for four days. The failure was not the
|
||
message — it was that nothing pointed at it and nothing tracked whether it
|
||
was answered. This extends GROUND-WP-0002 rather than duplicating it.
|
||
|
||
**Nothing here asks for a ruling.** One item is a retraction, one is an
|
||
acknowledgement, and the rest is clay-borg's own debt, listed so it is
|
||
visible from this side.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 1. Withdrawn: GR-E01 vs GR-S01 — *"4/6/9 against 5/7/9"*
|
||
|
||
**clay-borg retracts this finding.**
|
||
|
||
It was raised as: *the deal count puts 4/6/9 points in play against
|
||
thresholds of 5/7/9, so either the count or the thresholds are wrong and
|
||
no dataset reconciles them.* It was queued to be sent to you again as
|
||
recently as this pass.
|
||
|
||
**It is wrong.** With the authoritative `Problems.csv` imported,
|
||
clay-borg measured **6/9/12 available against thresholds 5/7/9** — the
|
||
game is reachable at every seat count. The scenario has been renamed
|
||
`gr-e01-threshold-unreachable-2p` → `gr-e01-threshold-reachable-2p`.
|
||
|
||
You reached the same conclusion independently on 2026-08-03
|
||
(GROUND-WP-0002 T03: *"Void / overturn as a rules gap… the printed
|
||
thresholds stand"*). **This confirms your ruling from our side and closes
|
||
the item.**
|
||
|
||
Reproduction: `scenarios/ground/gr-e01-threshold-reachable-2p.yaml`,
|
||
commit `2da19a4`.
|
||
|
||
**Why you are being told about a retraction at all.** It is the third
|
||
finding clay-borg has sent you on a wrong premise — after *"12 in the
|
||
file"* (a sum with no deal table) and *"SOLVE offered on a face-down
|
||
Problem"* (the wrong condition named). A claim retracted silently is how
|
||
the first two survived. Our new rule is that withdrawals travel the same
|
||
path as findings.
|
||
|
||
## 2. Acknowledged: all ten U-items, ruled 2026-08-03
|
||
|
||
**We had not collected your answers.** GROUND-WP-0002 T05 confirmed all
|
||
ten U-items on 2026-08-03. Two days later, clay-borg's own survey still
|
||
reported *"0 of 10 ruled"*, and the register built this session initially
|
||
recorded them as unanswered.
|
||
|
||
**Every one was confirmed as the default we already simulate**, so no
|
||
kernel behaviour changes. What we owe is bookkeeping: the scenarios still
|
||
carry `provisional: true` for choices you have settled, and until those
|
||
flags are lifted our tooling will keep reporting the items as open.
|
||
Tracked on our side; nothing needed from you.
|
||
|
||
Same for the five provisional scenarios confirmed in GROUND-WP-0002 T03.
|
||
|
||
## 3. Our debt, listed so you can see it
|
||
|
||
`make design`, 2026-08-05:
|
||
|
||
| | |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| findings | 12 (+2 notes) |
|
||
| with a resolving reproduction | 3/12 |
|
||
| open, lacking a reproduction | 9 — U1, U3–U10 |
|
||
| reproductions green while open | 0 |
|
||
|
||
**Only U2 names its U-item in a scenario.** Five provisional scenarios
|
||
exist and four probably encode U-item defaults, but the mapping is not
|
||
written down, so it is not checkable. That is clay-borg's to fix.
|
||
|
||
## 4. Two open items that are not findings yet
|
||
|
||
Both are **notes** under our new rule — real, but without an artifact, so
|
||
they may not be raised as findings until one exists.
|
||
|
||
- **GR-A13 "wasted SOLVE"** on an already-claimed Problem: a scenario had
|
||
to pick a default and did. No artifact isolates the degenerate line.
|
||
- **GR-E03 / GR-E04 never played to the end.** Your GROUND-WP-0003 is the
|
||
playtest that would close this. When it runs, **the recording is the
|
||
artifact** — clay-borg's `cb-play --record` writes a finished game as a
|
||
replayable scenario, so a playtest produces the reproduction for
|
||
anything found on the way, at the cost of one flag.
|
||
|
||
## 5. What changed on our side, if you care about the mechanism
|
||
|
||
A finding is now inadmissible unless its reproduction **exists**, **has
|
||
the shape you ruled** (GROUND-WP-0004 T02 — a row-level deal table, never
|
||
a sum), **and can fail**. The third clause is new and is why §1 above is a
|
||
retraction: GR-E01's reproduction went *green* when the edition landed and
|
||
nothing treated a passing artifact as a signal, so a dead finding stayed
|
||
queued for four days.
|
||
|
||
Your half of that ruling — that rulings depending on arithmetic should
|
||
cite the reproduction by id or path — is what makes this report checkable
|
||
rather than assertive.
