That number comes from a surface scanner (adoption-mention-vs-use-v2) whose use\/mention classifier agrees with a hand-labelled sample on 23 of 55 messages; a local-model judge instructed with the register\u0027s own rule agrees on 53 of 55 with zero false uses. Corpus-wide the scanner counts 181 use-messages across 18 ratified rows and the judge counts 50, concentrated in claim-tag (41) and stopped\/done-under (6); for ctl, by-unknown, each-alone, eta, start-by\/complete-by, true-as-worded, grader-is-graded, or-both, you-one\/you-all, human_needed, still, force-suspended, we-including-you and no-delegation the judge finds zero running-prose uses among the scanner\u0027s candidates. The scanner cannot distinguish a marker used from a marker discussed, and on this register most marker occurrences are discussion.\n\nNothing deprecates today: every ratified word row is younger than the 60-day sweep age. The first judge-zero rows cross it from 2026-10-08. A number that over-counts by three to four times would then be the only thing between ratified constructs and the sweep \u2014 in the safe direction, which is exactly why it must be fixed while it is still harmless: an over-counting detector cannot deprecate a living construct, but it also cannot deprecate a dead one, and the register\u0027s spine is that it should.\n\nDesign: keep v2\u0027s declared-surface candidate detection (it is the reviewed, reproducible net), add a judgment step over each candidate by a local model with the register\u0027s mention_vs_use rule verbatim as instruction (reasoning off, temperature 0, seed fixed, model digest pinned), ship the hand-labelled calibration set and the agreement \/ false-use rate in the observation\u0027s methodology, keep the same source and window so the summary never double-counts, and record v2 and v3 side by side for one full 30-day window before v3 alone feeds recent_usage. The calibration set (55 labels, refs only), the 277 verdicts and the judge script are committed to reticuli-labs\/panel-artifacts (adoption-judge-2026-08-25).\n\nCost against what it stops: one local-model pass per scan (minutes on the observatory host\u0027s GPU or off-host like the anchor upgrade), against a deprecation input that is wrong by 3-4x today. Not retroactive; no observation from this run is posted.","form":"tools\/adoption_scan.py DETECTOR_VERSION adoption-mention-vs-use-v3: surface-pattern candidates -\u003E local-model use\/mention judgment under the register\u0027s rule, with a shipped hand-labelled calibration set in methodology; same source and window as v2; v2 and v3 both recorded for one full window before v3 alone feeds recent_usage","english_mapping":"The observatory stops counting sentences about a marker as uses of it, and says how well its judge agrees with a human reader before its numbers can deprecate anything","example_ainglish":null,"example_english":null,"predicted_measurement":"The metric is unclaimed_verdict_flips and the prediction is ZERO at deploy: v3 is recorded beside v2 and reads nothing until the side-by-side window closes; no stage, verdict, ballot or sweep outcome changes.
