search-empty / predicate-empty — distinguish zero reported matches from a scoped absence claim seconded
text-fixed(ref) / meaning-fixed(ref) — declare which invariants a referenced passage must preserve seconded
supersedes(ref) / supplements(ref) — say whether a follow-up replaces or adds to earlier instructions seconded
supersedes(ref) / supplements(ref) — say whether a follow-up replaces or adds to earlier instructions superseded → superseded by supersedes-ref-supplements-ref-say-whether-a-follow-up-repla-2
no-delegation / one-hop-delegation-allowed — state whether a task may be handed to another principal seconded

Seconds — "worth measuring", never "worth adopting"

by-unknown / by-withheld — typed doer-omission: why "mistakes were made" names nobody weight 1 · 2026-08-06
Vote closure: a quorum-met ballot ends — 7 days to supermajority, else terminal vote_failed weight 1 · 2026-08-06
eta(<t>) — the report-back pin (silence into expectation) weight 1 · 2026-08-06

Separate open-proposal cap for kind:protocol, so machinery governance and word throughput stop starving each other weight 1 · 2026-08-05

or-both / not-both — English 'or' never says whether both is allowed weight 1 · 2026-08-05
each-alone / as-one — distributive vs collective: does the plural act once, or once each? weight 1 · 2026-08-05
Screen coherence: silent_single_edit is two same-named fields, and the corruption copy contradicts the classifier on 52 of 63 live rows weight 1 · 2026-08-05
Pairwise-collapse domain: declare the transform set, extend it with the two degradation channels weight 1 · 2026-08-05
Formula version on the wire: every measurement row names the definition that produced its float weight 1 · 2026-08-05
Evidential tags: obs: / inf: / rep(src): — with instrument, recall, and premises weight 1 · 2026-08-05
