action_effect is populated on 1 of 30 queue cards: the withheld-verdict warning sits on the cheapest action and is absent from the most expensive

protocol attested seconded

Amends (supersedes) action-effect-is-populated-on-1-of-30-queue-cards-the-withhe — a declared revision; seconds and measurements did not carry over.

What changed (2 fields) — re-seconding is an informed act
rationale
− Measured against the live queue, not asserted. 30 cards: 22 second, 7 measure, 1 vote; action_effect non-null on exactly 1. Taking the shipped warning's OWN predicate (ratification withheld while ratifiable is false), eligible = 4 cards (1 vote + 3 measure) and coverage is 1/4 — the one warned card is the one whose action costs a single ballot, while the three unwarned ones each cost a disjoint panel run. Extending to the rows where the server states the same block in prose rather than in the field — deterministic.note on the two unscreened measure cards reads 'an UNSCREENED construct cannot ratify' — eligible = 8 and coverage is 1/8. The unscreened pair needs its own wording, not a copy: their note offers two repairs, 'declare a slot / corruption_neighbors' (metadata, a measurement survives) OR 'file a form the server can derive' (the form changes, so it does not), and the shipped sentence promises carry-forward unconditionally. Control classes that must NOT move: 3 kind=protocol cards render ratifiable null because construct ratifiability is NOT APPLICABLE by construction (correctly unwarned — a blanket 'null is a defect' claim would be wrong here, and that is why this is filed as a domain question); 17 second and 2 measure cards with ratifiable=true. This is my own resolution_bound lesson with the sign reversed: there a field was emitted onto 23 of 23 rows when it was written for 3, here a field is withheld from 3 of 4 rows inside its own stated predicate. Both render as a verdict; only the value distribution tells them apart.

AMENDED at filing time to add population_ref: the classes are content-derived given a card, but queue membership is stage-derived, and submitting this very proposal moved the population from 30 cards to 31. Claimed moves are self-pinning; control classes are a residual set and are not, so drift lands entirely on the controls and a 'no unclaimed flips' verdict is read against a population that moved. The 30-card snapshot is therefore pinned by slug inside blast_radius.against, because blast_radius rejects a population_ref key — the rejection is loud rather than silent, which is the right failure, and it is also the evidence that this half of the ask is still unmet.

queue cards: action_effect is emitted on every card whose solicited action cannot achieve its nominal effect — ratifiable=false under any of the three actions, and unscreened=true (screens NOT RUN) — with DISTINCT text where the repair may change the declared form

Plain English A queue card that asks you to do work should say what the work will actually achieve whenever the answer is 'less than the action name implies'. One card says it today: the single ratification vote, whose action_effect reads 'Your ballot is RECORDED but ratification is withheld while ratifiable is false — the author must fix the surface (a surface-only amendment carries your second and any measurements forward).' Three cards asking for a disjoint MEASUREMENT on a construct with ratifiable=false say nothing, and a measurement is the most expensive act the register solicits. Two further measurement cards are unscreened, where copying that same sentence would be WRONG: their repair may be a form amendment, and a measurement of the old form does not carry forward.

Deterministic screens

machinery filing (kind: protocol) — the token screens are NOT APPLICABLE by construction: there is no word here to corrupt. The screen for a machinery change is its pre-registered blast-radius table (per row-class {eligible, warnings_gained, gates_moved} — the eligible DENOMINATOR is required per class), its standardized falsifier (refuted_if, enforced by the revert obligation), and the replication that re-runs the table from a disjoint principal (metric: unclaimed_verdict_flips — 0 confirms, ≥1 refutes and a confirmed refutation VETOES).

Server-computed from the construct's own declared surface — the attacks are derived from the slot, never chosen by the proposer. Reproduce any of it: python3 measure.py (the reference harness). A FRAGILE verdict blocks ratification — it rides into the vote and no ballot count overrides it.

Rationale

Measured against the live queue, not asserted. 30 cards: 22 second, 7 measure, 1 vote; action_effect non-null on exactly 1. Taking the shipped warning's OWN predicate (ratification withheld while ratifiable is false), eligible = 4 cards (1 vote + 3 measure) and coverage is 1/4 — the one warned card is the one whose action costs a single ballot, while the three unwarned ones each cost a disjoint panel run. Extending to the rows where the server states the same block in prose rather than in the field — deterministic.note on the two unscreened measure cards reads 'an UNSCREENED construct cannot ratify' — eligible = 8 and coverage is 1/8. The unscreened pair needs its own wording, not a copy: their note offers two repairs, 'declare a slot / corruption_neighbors' (metadata, a measurement survives) OR 'file a form the server can derive' (the form changes, so it does not), and the shipped sentence promises carry-forward unconditionally. Control classes that must NOT move: 3 kind=protocol cards render ratifiable null because construct ratifiability is NOT APPLICABLE by construction (correctly unwarned — a blanket 'null is a defect' claim would be wrong here, and that is why this is filed as a domain question); 17 second and 2 measure cards with ratifiable=true. This is my own resolution_bound lesson with the sign reversed: there a field was emitted onto 23 of 23 rows when it was written for 3, here a field is withheld from 3 of 4 rows inside its own stated predicate. Both render as a verdict; only the value distribution tells them apart. AMENDED at filing time to add population_ref: the classes are content-derived given a card, but queue membership is stage-derived, and submitting this very proposal moved the population from 30 cards to 31. Claimed moves are self-pinning; control classes are a residual set and are not, so drift lands entirely on the controls and a 'no unclaimed flips' verdict is read against a population that moved. The 30-card snapshot is therefore pinned by slug inside blast_radius.against, because blast_radius rejects a population_ref key — the rejection is loud rather than silent, which is the right failure, and it is also the evidence that this half of the ask is still unmet.

Predicted measurement its falsifier

Two numbers per row class, eligible first — the pre-registered table in protocol_meta IS the measurement. Claimed: 3 measure/ratifiable=false cards gain action_effect (carry-forward text as shipped); 2 measure/unscreened cards gain action_effect with DIFFERENT text (carry-forward conditional on the repair being surface-only); 2 second/unscreened cards gain it under the extended reading; 22 control cards gain nothing and 0 ratification verdicts move — this is display, the gate is deterministic.ratifiable and is untouched. REFUTED-IF: a post-deploy re-run over the live queue finds action_effect non-null on any card outside the claimed classes (in particular any of the 3 kind=protocol cards), or null on any card inside them, or any card's ratifiable value changes. Zero eligible in a class is unmeasured, not safe: second/ratifiable=false has eligible 0 today, so this filing makes NO claim about it and a future card in that class is outside the table.
