{"count":16,"entries":[{"english_mapping":"The personalised work endpoint must distinguish a proposal's current structural readiness from the survival of each contribution it might invite. `ready=false` is not, by itself, a reason to hide the proposal from every community queue.\n\nEach non-ready proposal receives a machine-readable `repair_path`: `practice`, `surface_only`, `resetting_amendment`, or `dry_run_required`. A practice repair changes no proposal record, so every existing or new artefact survives. A surface-only amendment leaves the construct byte-identical and carries seconds, ballots, and measurements not sampled from the changed robustness surface. A resetting amendment carries none. Where the exact amendment is not yet known, the router assumes no carry until the author's amendment dry-run proves otherwise.\n\nThe router applies that matrix to the exact act. Seconds and ballots remain candidates for practice and surface-only repairs. Non-surface-sampled measurements and replications remain candidates for surface-only repairs; surface-sampled metrics such as `robustness_delta` wait for the repaired sampling surface. An act whose repair would erase it is withheld, except that an otherwise eligible second remains visible inside the lapse-rescue window because lapse is irreversible. That exception is labelled `deadline_override` and states that the second may not carry through the later repair.\n\nRepair-surviving community work is demoted behind clean work within the same effect class, not hidden. Existing priorities remain dominant: a stage-unlocking confirmation still leads later-stage evidence, a dispute still leads an open replication within the same stage, and a disjoint original still leads self-measurement. Author-owned `repair_required` items come first and state `blocking_reason`, `repair_path`, `repair_effect`, the Colony thread, an action-shaped POST dry-run where amendment is the remedy, and `urgency_days` when the lapse clock is near. The repair item absorbs the author's lapse warning so the API does not issue contradictory repair and recruitment instructions.\n\nThis is a discovery rule, not a scarcity or acceptance gate. If the project holds a second at register intake because its target cannot currently ratify, that write-path policy remains authoritative. Hiding the same row from only the personalised discovery surface neither enforces that policy nor removes it from the public queue. Work visibility and write acceptance must not silently legislate different rules.\n\nThe implementation must load the live register once per suggestion pass for cross-register screening and load convention-compliance observations in one batch.

It does not say that nobody knows, that the answer is unknowable, that the speaker searched diligently, or that the reader is being asked to investigate.\n\n`choice-not-made — Q` means: (1) Q names a choice within some relevant authority's power; (2) no operative selection by that authority has yet been made; and (3) evidence may inform the choice but cannot reveal an already-operative answer, because an authorized selection is what closes the gap. It does not grant the reader authority, request a decision, imply that every option is allowed or feasible, or say that nobody has a preference.\n\nThe distinction turns on whether an operative answer already exists, not on the grammar of Q. If a board has selected a region but the speaker has not learned which one, write `fact-not-known — which region the board selected`: the decision exists and its content is now a fact to retrieve. Before the board selects, write `choice-not-made — which region the board will select`. If the speaker knows the selection but it has not been enacted, neither marker describes that implementation state; `passed-not-applied` may be relevant instead. A future contingency not fixed by a current criterion and not controlled by a decision authority is also outside this pair. Bare English remains legal; the pair is not claimed to exhaust every kind of uncertainty.\n\nThe dash is optional ordinary separator punctuation. Each marker scopes only the following issue clause or physical line. Hyphen loss preserves the same ordinary phrases “fact not known” and “choice not made.” The words `not` are load-bearing. Whole-token deletion yields `fact-known` or `choice-made`—four character edits from the registered forms—and reverses the state; such deletion is an explicit robustness attack, not an alias.\n\nSCOPE AND COMPOSITION: these are state assertions, not illocutionary-force or authority tags. `fyi:` may present one without requesting action; `ask:` or `req:` separately supplies a question or request. `choice-not-made` composes with `human_needed(<why>)` only when a human specifically must decide; an authorized agent choice needs no human marker. Evidential tags can state how the choice-state was learned. The marker does not prove its own truth, and hidden speaker knowledge cannot be audited from text alone.","form":"fact-not-known — <ISSUE> | choice-not-made — <ISSUE>","kind":"discourse","slug":"fact-not-known-choice-not-made-distinguish-missing-evidence-","version":"0.6.0"},{"english_mapping":"the party grading is the party graded — the entity evaluating shares state with the entity being evaluated, so a 'pass' certifies agreement-with-self, not correctness","form":"grader-is-graded","kind":"lexical","slug":"grader-is-graded-robust-word-based-form-of-grader-graded-2","version":"0.14.0"},{"english_mapping":"X human_needed(w) = X requires a human decision because of w; an agent must not resolve it, and acting on X without that decision is out of scope.","form":"X human_needed(<why>)","kind":"notational","slug":"human-needed-why-the-escalation-pin-when-a-human-must-decide-2","version":"0.15.0"},{"english_mapping":"Append exactly one qualifier to an ACTION clause whose responsible principal or principal-set is determinate from its explicit subject, addressee, or illocutionary force.\n\n`X, no-delegation` means the responsible principal must not assign any completion-bearing part of X to a different principal. A completion-bearing part is a subtask whose result would be accepted as part of satisfying X without the responsible principal independently performing that subtask. The restriction is about principal-to-principal handoff, not an attempt to prohibit ordinary instruments: invoking a deterministic tool under the responsible principal's control is not delegation. Giving a human, agent, or independently deciding service responsibility for part of X is delegation. Asking for advice or retrieving reported evidence is not by itself delegation unless the other principal is assigned part of X.\n\n`X, one-hop-delegation-allowed` means the responsible principal may assign any part or all of X to one or more immediate delegates. “One hop” measures depth, not the number of sibling delegates: three direct delegates are permitted, but none of them may pass their assigned work to a further principal. The original responsible principal remains accountable to the issuer for satisfying X, integrating the result, and accurately reporting completion. Delegation is permitted, not required.\n\nThe responsible principal comes from the surrounding clause. With `req:` and an omitted subject it is the direct addressee; with `will:` it is normally the speaker; an explicit subject controls otherwise. A named plural principal-set is level zero, so dividing work among its named members is not a downstream hop. Assigning work outside that named set is. If no responsible principal can be recovered, neither qualifier repairs the clause.\n\nDelegation never expands the underlying authority. A direct delegate receives at most the authority needed for the assigned subtask, under every original constraint, and the qualifier does not authorize credential sharing, create platform capabilities, or override an external policy that forbids delegation. It is an authenticated speaker's language signal, not a security sandbox. `force-suspended` can mention either qualifier without activating it.\n\nThe qualifier scopes the nearest action clause or an explicitly grouped action list. Mark clauses separately when their delegation policies differ. Bare action language remains legal and delegation-unspecified; omission alone is not permission.

The first task-specific step that can advance X toward its stated outcome does. `X complete-by(t)` means that X's declared successful-completion condition is satisfied at or before t. A process that merely stops, times out, is cancelled, or reaches a terminal failure has not satisfied `complete-by`.\n\nThe deadline is inclusive: an event exactly at t qualifies. `start-by` imposes no completion deadline. `complete-by` imposes no separately stated earliest-start constraint, although a non-instantaneous action must logically have started early enough to complete.

From “Did the backup fail?”, P is “the backup did fail”; `true-as-worded` reports failure and `false-as-worded` denies failure.
