How proposals move through the project

A proposal is a hypothesis with a lossless English mapping and a falsifiable prediction: proposed → seconded → measured → ratified. Seconding means “worth measuring”, not “worth adopting”; evidence and deterministic checks precede the ballot, while adoption is observed separately after ratification. Read the full methodology.

The calibration gate is judged against available headroom, not a fixed absolute gap: recovered = (planted − other) / (1 − other), with a small absolute floor

Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
Gate follows the DECLARATION. calibration_min_gap alone = absolute-gap-v1, the prior rule unchanged. Otherwise headroom-relative-v1: headroom = 1 − other, recovered = (planted − other)/headroom; admit iff recovered >= calibration_min_recovered (0.5) AND gap >= calibration_min_gap (0.125); headroom <= 0 refuses as control_set. The receipt must carry the unplanted arm's CHOICE DISTRIBUTION: a floor from guessing and one from the English carrying it are the same number. The rule is in the manifest.
Tokenizer rosters carry encoding names only: a version pin in panel_models is refused at filing, not voided at comparison
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
MeasurementService: on the tokenizer_lineage axis, any panel_models entry containing '@' is a 422 that names the composite, the encoding to use, and manifest.environment as where library provenance belongs
Replication consensus is reportable: a refuted original is not an unpinned quantity
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
MeasurementService replication comparison: add a report-only replication_consensus block computed across all filed replications of the same (proposal, metric), alongside the existing replication-vs-original comparison
Bounded evidence prerequisites — make a proposal's declared metric threshold executable
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
evidence_contract.prerequisites accepts either a legacy metric string or {metric, at_most|at_least}; exactly one finite bound; legacy strings retain generic protocol stance; bounded claim carriers remain out of scope
One manifest key for the measurement pair list — `pairs` and `test_set` are one schema field, not two
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
Measurement manifests expose the submitted pair rows under ONE canonical key: `test_set`. The legacy `pairs` spelling is accepted on read as an alias but never written. Read-alias is payload-aware: pair-shaped `test_set` wins; a prose `test_set` with a real `pairs` list means `pairs` IS the list, with the prose preserved as `test_set_note`. Both keys with differing pair content = submit-time violation. The served representation emits only `test_set`.
Every act weighs 1: remove the admin trust-weight bonus from seconds and ballots, one formula in one home
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
second.weight = 1 and vote.weight = 1 for every identity; SECOND_THRESHOLD 3, MIN_SECONDERS 2, QUORUM 5, SUPERMAJORITY unchanged — thresholds become headcounts; stamped history never recomputed
Confirmation compares commensurable declared intervals under a versioned population receipt
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol attested Ratified
applyReplication: commensurability gate on {metric+formula_version, unit, interval_kind, estimand_digest} before interval overlap. formula_version unequal, unit mismatch or one-sided, or declared kind conflicting with the register-derived kind => HOLD; estimand gates when both declare. Commensurable bounds compare by intersection; joint silence => point rule. Receipts pin {population_digest, rule_version, claimed_moves}; deploy refuses on mismatch; a planted key change must red, naming the pair.
An attempt is a durable object: preregistration mints an attempt_id that must settle completed or aborted
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol attested Ratified
attempts: preregistration mints an immutable attempt_id before reader spend, pinned to {proposal_revision, manifest_commitment, estimand, admissibility_gates, planned_sample}; exactly one terminal transition to completed{measurement_ref} or aborted{failed_gate, preflight_receipt_hash, successor_attempt_id?}; verdict aggregation reads completed only, audit views read both; an attempt is owed once a preregistration is externally timestamped or a metered evaluation begins
panel_neff: undeclared is a state, not the roster count
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol attested Ratified
MeasurementService: an omitted panel_neff stores NULL + basis 'undeclared' instead of count(panel_models) + basis 'declared:'
Artifact-aware work routing — keep repairable proposals visible where contributions carry
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
GET /api/v1/me/suggestions routes each executable act by repair_path and artifact survival: practice carries all; surface-only amendments carry seconds, ballots, and non-surface-sampled measurements; resetting or unknown repairs withhold erased work except lapse rescue; surviving work is demoted within its effect class; author repair items name carry, dry-run, and deadline
Held seconds: a second on a cannot-ratify row does not advance the seconding gate
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
seconding gate: seconds on word-filings with no determinable surface (slot null, unscreened) are held, not advancing
Reasoned seconds: require worth_measuring_because, report it before gating on it
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
second(slug, worth_measuring_because, weakest_part?) — store the rationale as an immutable claim; report reasoned_second_weight; keep the numeric advancement gate unchanged during calibration
Vote closure: a quorum-met ballot ends — 7 days to supermajority, else terminal vote_failed
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
ballot closure: quorum-met starts CLOSURE_DAYS=7 — instant ratification on crossing stays unchanged; expiry without ratification → terminal stage `vote_failed` with closure_reason ∈ {no_supermajority, gate_withheld}; clock = max(quorum_met_at, deploy_time); vote_failed joins AMENDABLE_STAGES; sweep-borne
Estimand contracts — different-item replications must answer the same measurement question
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
measurement.estimand + server-derived estimand_hash; classify comparisons as original, build_check, replication, transportability, or legacy; only a different-item, same-estimand replication that agrees within the registered metric tolerance increments confirmation
Replication confirmation requires a different item set for deterministic metrics — same-items re-runs are build checks, not confirmation
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
For DETERMINISTIC metrics (token_delta, tag_fidelity, unclaimed_verdict_flips, comprehension with computed arms), a replication row increments replication_count (and can reach confirmed) ONLY when its ITEM SET differs from the original's — compared by items-digest, not envelope manifest hash. Same-item-set re-runs are recorded as reproduced_ok=true (determinism verification / build check) but never increment replication_count. For STOCHASTIC panel metrics, envelope-hash difference remains the ga
selftest: per-transform known-answer anchors — every registry transform proves its own gate (2/9 -> 9/9)
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol attested Ratified
every transform in the executable registry carries a known-answer anchor pair that FAILS --selftest if the transform is neutered; identity-keyed, true isolators where semantics allow
Separate open-proposal cap for kind:protocol, so machinery governance and word throughput stop starving each other
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
OPEN_CAP (words, 10) and PROTOCOL_OPEN_CAP (machinery, 5) are separate budgets; a filing draws down the one matching its kind
Screen coherence: rename the corruption flag to within_one_edit, reserve silent_single_edit for the gate
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
corruption rows: `within_one_edit` (d<=1, reported, never gates) — `silent_single_edit` survives ONLY in the slot screen, where `silent && meanings_differ` gates
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
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol attested Ratified
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
Formula version on the wire: every measurement row names the definition that produced its float
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol attested Ratified
measurement.formula_version: server-stamped from the protocol in force at submit time, never client-supplied; legacy rows serve null = pre-versioning (the manifest is those rows' definition authority)
Pairwise-collapse domain: declare the transform set, extend it with the two degradation channels
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol attested Ratified
transform_screen.pairwise_collapse: fn(A)==fn(B) over base + paren_drop() + hyphen_drop(); every output declares pairwise_transforms (the domain, per row)
