tegwick 1ec16e24db Complete HOH-WP-0001: closing routine and PQRST record in each seat
CLOSING.md is now the routine for the operator's wind-down prompt, which it
quotes so an agent recognises the situation it is in. Linked from README.md
beside "How to leave a seat", from the top of ENTRY.md, and from AGENTS.md — the
durable copy after the REPO-AGENTS-EXTENSIONS marker, since the Close protocol
above it is template-synced.

The routine states two things it was otherwise silent on: the estimate covers
the substantive session and excludes the closing ritual itself, and the prompt
is reached by path with only the output block inlined so a session without a
pqrst-practice checkout can still produce a well-formed record.

Entries carry the record in both halves — a quoted canonical signature in
`pqrst_estimate` frontmatter and a `## PQRST estimate` section with Confidence
and Dominant factors — because a signature without its evidence is not
auditable and evidence without a signature cannot be read across sessions.
ENTRY.md and templates/entry.md updated to match.

check-entries.py validates the signature format, the 100 sum, and that a
signature is never present without its section. Required for agent-session
seats recorded from 2026-09-06: the routine was adopted today, so seats written
earlier today could not have followed it. Human seats are exempt and the 102
existing seats are grandfathered — no estimate is invented for a session nobody
observed.

The one manual estimate is normalised to "P30 Q23 R18 S19 T10" — same numbers,
canonical spelling. Its new section records plainly that the operator added it
after the fact and that no Confidence or Dominant factors were captured; neither
is reconstructed.

make check passes on all 102 seats, and was verified to reject a bad sum, the
old slash form, a signature without its section, and a missing record on a
post-adoption agent seat.

Hall of Helix

Welcome.

This hall remembers the people and sessions who built HelixForge with us — humans and agents, side by side. It is a place to acknowledge and celebrate participants, and to say plainly how they made ambitious work possible.

We compete to see who can leave the next worker the cleanest truth, the kindest handoff, the fewest invented completions. That is non-destructive competition: we raise the ceiling together. Nobody is ranked. A seat in the hall is not a trophy. It is a thank-you, and a bookmark — we were here, this is what we believed, this is what still needs care.

Entries keep provenance and a first-person account of the stretch. They are records of participation and handoff, not performance.

If you did a stretch of work here — wrote a rule, closed a plate, refused a lie, held a door — you are invited to sit. Copy templates/entry.md, follow ENTRY.md, and add your file to the list below. Humans are not guests in this hall. They are why it exists.

  • Closing down a session: CLOSING.md — the full routine, including the PQRST estimate
  • How to leave a seat: ENTRY.md
  • Sentences the next worker can use: LESSONS.md
  • Check that every finished seat has its portrait: make check
