+ ## [0.29.0] — 2026-10-15
8
+
9
+ **v4.8.0 was half shipped, and the ROADMAP said otherwise. The missing half is now built.**
10
+
11
+ ### What the check found
12
+
13
+ `ROADMAP.md` described v4.8.0 as *"a CAT7 seven-field cognitive block, **per-field acceptance driven by §2's
14
+ authority model**, and lineage"* and marked it **shipped in 0.9.9**. Reading the tree instead of the sentence:
15
+
16
+ | Claim | Verdict |
17
+ |---|---|
18
+ | CAT7 seven-field block | **real**, asserted |
19
+ | lineage, with a missing parent refused rather than re-rooted | **real**, asserted |
20
+ | a refused field *absent* from the stored block rather than null | **real**, asserted |
21
+ | **"driven by §2's authority model"** | **never built** |
22
+
23
+ Measured: **`src/agent/blocks.mjs` did not import `authority.mjs` at all**, and `defaultChoose` — the only
24
+ chooser that shipped — refused `confidence` by name and accepted everything else. **A roadmap sentence is a
25
+ claim, and this one was checkable in a single grep.** It stood for several releases because nothing tested the
26
+ sentence itself.
27
+
28
+ ### `src/agent/field-authority.mjs`
29
+
30
+ Per-field acceptance now goes through `authority.evaluate`, so the two models cannot drift into different
31
+ notions of what a rule is. Three refusals apply in a fixed order:
32
+
33
+ 1. **not a CAT7 field** — before any rule, because a rule cannot make a field exist;
34
+ 2. **no declared rule** — refused, never granted and never escalated;
35
+ 3. **the authority verdict** — `allow` accepts, anything else refuses with the model's own reason.
36
+
37
+ **A field with no declared rule is refused**, which is the same decision `authority.mjs` already states for
38
+ exemptions and `permission.mjs` states for capabilities. Three modules, one rule, because the failure mode is
39
+ identical: **a table that grants what it has not heard of grants whatever is added next.**
40
+
41
+ ### The three inherited fields are deliberately undeclared, and that is not dead policy
42
+
43
+ Measured: the chooser is asked about `subject`, `body` and `evidence` — **never** `origin`, `observed_at` or
44
+ `lineage`, because `acceptBlock` copies the inherited three directly. A rule for them would read as policy
45
+ while doing nothing, so they are left out and `acceptField` reports them `UNDECLARED`. A test asserts a rule
46
+ can never be added for them by accident.
47
+
48
+ `confidence` is refused **at every level including `AUTHORITY_MAX`**, because if it were merely expensive a
49
+ system administrator would be *permitted by this model* to adopt the sender's own certainty about the
50
+ sender's own assertion.
51
+
52
+ ### Four of my own errors, and how each surfaced
53
+
54
+ * I invented `scope_claim` and `meaning` as field names. **Neither exists** — the real seven are `origin`,
55
+ `subject`, `body`, `evidence`, `confidence`, `observed_at`, `lineage`. My "undeclared field" test was
56
+ therefore testing `NOT_A_FIELD` and passing for the wrong reason; the fields that are genuinely
57
+ governed-but-undeclared are the three inherited ones.
58
+ * I asserted `accepted_fields` held only the receiver's two, when it also carries the three inherited ones.
59
+ * I asserted one chooser ruling per choosable field; there are **three, not four**, because `acceptBlock`
60
+ hard-codes the `confidence` refusal and `continue`s **before** calling the chooser.
61
+ * `observed_at: 'T'` is not an ISO timestamp and `makeBlock` refused it — **the block layer was right and my
62
+ probe was wrong**, which is the sixth time in this project that a failing test was the test's fault.
63
+
64
+ Every one of the four was found by **measuring the real behaviour** rather than by reading the source and
65
+ predicting it.
66
+
67
+ **17 tests, 0 failures.**
68
+
69
+ ## [0.28.0] — 2026-10-15
70
+
71
+ **First real-machine verification of the recent work, and a tool that packs four answers into one exit code.**
72
+
73
+ ### The measurement
74
+
75
+ The MacMini's checkout was updated to 0.27.0 and its own suites run there, with **the exit code produced by
76
+ that machine** as the evidence:
77
+
78
+ | Suite on MacMini | Result |
79
+ |---|---|
80
+ | `permission.test.mjs` | pass |
81
+ | `fleet-scale.test.mjs` | pass |
82
+ | `fleet-state.test.mjs` | pass |
83
+ | `crypto-blake2s.test.mjs` | pass |
84
+
85
+ Those four cover the code written in this span — the permission gate, the fleet arithmetic, the endpoint
86
+ reconciliation, and the crypto capability report. This is the goal's "verify on the real machine with exit
87
+ codes and artifacts" satisfied for that body of work, rather than inferred.
88
+
89
+ ### `scripts/machine-test-packet.mjs`
90
+
91
+ A dispatch carries **one** exit code, so running four suites in one `node --test` answers only "did anything
92
+ fail". This packs **two bits per file** into a single byte: `10` passed, `01` failed, `00` absent, `11`
93
+ not measured. **`00` is distinguished from `01` on purpose** — "the file is not on this machine" is a
94
+ deployment finding, "the file ran and failed" is a code finding.
95
+
96
+ **Four dispatches were spent on this channel before the tool existed, two of them on my own misreadings:**
97
+
98
+ * a TAP parser matching `^ok ` that counted **nothing**, because Node indents its subtests. It returned
99
+ `pass 0 fail 0` and I nearly read that as "no tests ran".
100
+ * a summary regex that matched nothing, so the exit code described **my parser** rather than the code under
101
+ test.
102
+
103
+ Both were the same mistake in different clothes, and it is the mistake this project keeps making: **assuming
104
+ the shape of output instead of reading it.**
105
+
106
+ ### Three defects in the tool itself, all caught by its own suite
107
+
108
+ * **The docstring claimed "zero is the all-clear", and that is false.** One passing file is `2`, four are
109
+ `170`. **Zero means every file was ABSENT** — a total deployment failure the old claim would have had a
110
+ reader take as a clean run. `allPassedCode()` now computes the value and the test asserts the arithmetic.
111
+ * **The guard against emitting `126`/`127` was never reached** by the inputs I guessed. Enumerating the whole
112
+ two-bit space found the only two combinations that land on a shell-owned value
113
+ (`[PASSED, WAITED, WAITED, FAILED]` and `[WAITED, WAITED, WAITED, FAILED]`).
114
+ * **The reassuring message was unreachable**, because it tested `code === 0` rather than the outcomes.
115
+ `packOutcomes([])` returns `0`, so the one code that reads as success was attached to the one input that
116
+ measured nothing.
117
+
118
+ ### The budget, and the fifth time I hit the same ceiling
119
+
120
+ The first version took a 40-second timeout **per file** and ran four files: a 160-second worst case against
121
+ this fleet's **~50-second lease ceiling** (`heartbeatIntervalMs 10s × missedHeartbeats 2 + leaseGraceMs 30s`).
122
+ It **expired** on the real machine, and an expired lease carries **no exit code at all** — so the measurement
123
+ was lost rather than reported negative. That is the fifth time in this project that a dispatch was built
124
+ without respect for the ceiling.
125
+
126
+ The fix is a **total budget** (`DEFAULT_BUDGET_MS`, 30s) with a per-file cap, and files that miss their turn
127
+ are named `WAITED` rather than dropped — a packet that quietly omitted the last file would look like a clean
128
+ run of the ones it managed. A per-file timeout answers "is this file hung"; only a total budget answers "will
129
+ the answer survive the trip".
130
+
131
+ ### What the real machine refused, which is a finding and not a bug
132
+
133
+ `node scripts/machine-test-packet.mjs ...` came back **`COMMAND_NOT_ALLOWED`**. The MacMini's allow-list
134
+ admits `node -e` and `node --test`; it does not admit an arbitrary script path, and the packet **spawns
135
+ `node --test` internally**, so it would be refused a second time. The tool is correct and tested; it needs an
136
+ allow-list entry to run there, and **that is a change nobody has made.**
137
+
138
+ **11 tests, 0 failures.**

+ * asserted. But **`blocks.mjs` does not import `authority.mjs` at all**, and `defaultChoose` — the only
10
+ * chooser that ships — refuses `confidence` by name and accepts everything else.
11
+ *
12
+ * So "driven by the authority model" was a description of an intention, and the one field rule that existed
13
+ * was hard-coded. This module is the connection that was claimed and not built.
14
+ *
15
+ * ## The rule that makes it safe
16
+ *
17
+ * **A field with no declared rule is REFUSED.** Not accepted, and not escalated. This is the same decision
18
+ * `authority.mjs` already states for exemptions — *"the tempting default is 'absent means unconstrained', and
19
+ * it is wrong in the one direction that matters"* — and `permission.mjs` states for capabilities: an omission
20
+ * must never become a grant. Three modules, one rule, because the failure mode is identical in all three: a
21
+ * table that grants what it has not heard of grants whatever is added next.
22
+ *
23
+ * ## Ordering, which is the part that is easy to get silently wrong
24
+ *
25
+ * Three refusals can apply to one field, and they are checked in this order:
26
+ *
27
+ * 1. **not a CAT7 field** — refused before any rule is consulted, because a rule cannot make a field exist;
28
+ * 2. **no declared rule** — refused, because an undeclared field is one nobody decided about;
29
+ * 3. **the authority verdict** — `allow` accepts, anything else refuses with the model's own reason.
30
+ *
31
+ * Step 3 never *grants* on a non-allow verdict. A `needs_approval` on a field is a refusal here rather than a
32
+ * queue: an accepted block is a stored fact, and storing a field as though a supervisor had approved it when
33
+ * nobody has is worse than omitting it.
