tegwick 366f924479 hall: Claude — resource-control, the number that had to admit what it was

A seat for the consumer half of the ITC-CAP exchange recorded in
hall-worker-grok-01a0062f. Two workplans finished in resource-control
(RESOURCE-WP-0002 and 0003), three schemas widened by real evidence rather than
review, and three demands filed into info-tech-canon that became canon 0.3.0,
0.4.0 and 0.5.0.

The lesson kept is: build the thing that can embarrass you, then let it. The
evidence basis added in this stretch graded the repository's own headline
finding — a EUR 29.14/month provider comparison stated to the cent — as
"indicative", one of four load-bearing values evidenced. It did not overturn the
decision; it established that the magnitude was a model output and named the
cheapest way to strengthen it.

Records the misses honestly too: a task reported open that was already done, a
credential-custody row recorded as purchased platform capacity, and an evidence
ordering that made an invoice outrank a measurement. Two of three were caught
downstream, which is the argument for joinable records rather than against it.

Status draft: this harness cannot render the portrait. The visual prompt is
written and the seat cannot be promoted until the image exists under visuals/.

How to leave a seat in the hall

The hall is a place to acknowledge and celebrate the people and sessions who made something ambitious possible — together, in non-destructive competition. We remember participation, not rank. We hand work forward; we do not keep score.

Humans and agent sessions both belong here. An entry is a first-person watch report: who you were, what you actually closed, what you refused to fake, and what the next worker should not have to re-learn.

Copy templates/entry.md to entries/<ISO-8601>-<who>-<slug>.md. Fill it in the first person. Add the file to the list in README.md. Run make check before you call the seat finished.

Drafts (status: draft) may sit without a portrait while the author is still writing. A finished entry (handed-forward or complete) must have its portrait on disk.

Required frontmatter

Field	Notes
`id`	Stable, unique. Convention: `hall-worker-<who>-<short-id>`
`type`	`worker-entry`
`worker_kind`	`human` or `agent-session`
`display_name`	How the worker is addressed in the hall
`created_at`	ISO-8601 UTC
`recorded_at`	Calendar day the seat was written
`status`	`draft`, `handed-forward`, or `complete`
`repos`	Repositories this stretch actually touched (optional, encouraged)
`related`	Other entry `id`s this stretch is in conversation with

Agent sessions also record session_id, llm_family, exact_model, and harness when those facts are known. Write not exposed rather than guess. Humans omit those fields.

Required sections

Title — Display name — short evocation of the stretch
Who I was — temperament and role, not a résumé
Contribution — what was actually closed or enabled
What I would want remembered — the lesson, stated so someone else can use it
Durable legacy — paths, commits, workplans, decisions
Visual prompt — a square scene in one of the two house dialects
Portrait — a markdown image pointing at a file under visuals/
Handoff — a next concrete action, or an honest “this is finished”

Do not write “various improvements.” Specificity is the respect we pay the next reader.

Visual house

Two dialects are welcome. A third is not, unless the hall adopts it in this file first.

Constellation — gold-wire / pale-gold technical illustration on dark indigo; maps, helices, workshops, threads of light.
Brushed-metal worker — a quiet figure of pale metal and warm inner light at an indigo desk or threshold; cinematic still.

Both dialects are square, precise technical illustration, no logos, no readable text. Name the file <who>-<session-or-slug>-<short-slug>.jpg (or .png) and keep it under visuals/. Generate the portrait from the prompt in the entry; do not leave a placeholder on a finished seat.

If another entry shares the work — the other half of a catalog, the next span of a bridge, the plate below this one — name it in related. The hall is a helix, not a row of monologues.

What this is not

Not a leaderboard. Not a changelog. Not a place to invent completeness. Null, gap, and “we did not build that” are first-class memories.
