T10: gate review and first compression pass

Browse source 
All four gate criteria met. False Adaptation Rate 0/7 with 12 of 13 mechanical
mutations absorbed. 178 tests pass. TD-WP-0002 finished.

Fitness loop closed via F-0003: actor isolation was a property of scenarios
written to expose it, not of runs. Actors now carry an automatic private
marker and the runner examines all of them on every scenario, with two
permanent regressions behind it.

Compression - six abstractions removed, each declared and never used:
Verdict.SUSPICIOUS (a verdict no oracle could emit), Step.expect_refusal,
ActorIsolationError, World.seed, EvidencePack.latest, Trajectory.method.

F-0008: Temperature may be redundant. Crystallization was built without it
ever being consulted; measured stability of realization did the work, and is
observed rather than declared. Gated for removal alongside energy.py.

INTENT_CHANGED and REALIZATION_FAILED had never run. Both now have
purpose-built cases and a test that fails if a seventh outcome is added
without one.

Convert at least one framework finding discovered during T04–T09 into a permanent
self-verification or deterministic regression — that closes the first genuine
Concept–Implementation Fitness Loop.
**Done 2026-08-23.** Full write-up:
`history/2026-08-23-td-wp-0002-gate-review.md`. 178 tests pass.
**All four gate criteria met.** M01/M02 absorbed with the claim set unchanged;
the authorization defects escalated with regressions named; one asset
crystallized and running with no model; **False Adaptation Rate 0/7**, with 12 of
13 mechanical mutations absorbed so the safety result is not bought by escalating
everything.
**Fitness loop closed via F-0003.** Actor isolation left no trace in ordinary
evidence — it was a property of scenarios written to expose it. Every actor is
now seeded with an automatic private marker and the runner examines all actors on
every scenario, with two permanent regressions behind it, one of which catches a
leak with the harness planting nothing.
**Compression — six abstractions removed**, each declared and never used:
`Verdict.SUSPICIOUS` (a verdict no oracle could emit), `Step.expect_refusal`,
`ActorIsolationError`, `World.seed`, `EvidencePack.latest()`,
`Trajectory.method`.
**F-0008 — Temperature may be redundant.** Crystallization was built end to end
without it ever being consulted; what triggered freezing was *measured stability
of realization*, which is observed rather than declared. A declared temperature
is a claim nobody verifies. Not deleted — two unevidenced cases for keeping it
are recorded — but gated, along with `energy.py`: if the next workplan closes
without a decision consulting either, they go.
**Two classifications had never run.** `INTENT_CHANGED` and `REALIZATION_FAILED`
were declared at T08 and produced by no test. Both now have purpose-built cases,
and `test_no_classification_is_unreachable` fails if a seventh is added without
one.
**What this leaves.** The thesis survived contact with its own evidence in
narrowed form, and the demonstration is architectural rather than statistical.
The highest-value next step is a **bounded live-model experiment** — F-0005 and
F-0007 converge on it independently, and one experiment settles both whether a
model adds capability and whether crystallization has a product rationale. That
should come before any further framework feature.
