C3 artifact: flip stale header to reflect its already-signed row - #78
Merged
Conversation
Stale-artifact flip, not a new signature. C3's row at
docs/m7_operator_go_checklist.md:145 was signed by Kevin Brown on 2026-08-21 at
15:56 EDT and has been signed on main ever since. The artifact's own header never
caught up, so until this commit main carried a document declaring itself NOT
SIGNED while the row attesting to it was signed three days earlier.
This commit creates no attestation and changes no attestation. It brings the
artifact's status line into agreement with a fact already established elsewhere in
the repository. The row remains the sole authority for C3 being signed.
Three lines of prose changed, all in the opening status paragraph:
- Line 3: "EXECUTED 2026-08-21 - NOT SIGNED" becomes
"EXECUTED 2026-08-21 - SIGNED 2026-08-21 15:56 EDT".
- Lines 5-6: "C3's row ... remains unsigned. That row, once signed, is the
attestation; this document is the artifact its" becomes "C3's row ... is
signed - Kevin Brown, 2026-08-21 15:56 EDT. This document is the artifact
that row's".
- Line 7: "Evidence will cite" becomes "Evidence cites". This third edit is a
required grammatical consequence of the second, not an independent change -
the future tense existed only because the row was unsigned when the sentence
was written. Left alone it would have read "the artifact that row's Evidence
will cite" immediately after asserting the row is already signed.
The clause "That row, once signed, is the attestation" is dropped as part of the
rewrite. Its substance survives in the sentence that follows, which still states
this document is neither a substitute for the row nor itself an attestation.
Timestamps: 2026-08-21 15:56 EDT throughout, the actual signature time. This
commit's own date appears nowhere in the file - verified by grep.
Verified before commit: no occurrence of "NOT SIGNED" remains, and no occurrence
of "unsigned" remains anywhere in the file, including across the former line
break. One file, four insertions, four deletions, no other file touched. CRLF
preserved (344 CR / 344 LF).
No TODO.md entry accompanies this: unlike a7069a7, no commit here misrepresents
what it did, so there is nothing to log separately.

Restores a clause the previous commit's rewrite had dropped. Before this, the paragraph asserted only what this document is NOT - not a substitute for the row, not itself an attestation - without stating the positive counterpart: that the row is the attestation. That positive statement is the governance point; the negations alone leave it implicit. The sentence now reads: **C3's row in `docs/m7_operator_go_checklist.md` §C is signed** - `Kevin Brown, 2026-08-21 15:56 EDT`. That row, once signed, is the attestation; this document is the artifact that row's `Evidence` cites - not a substitute for it, and not itself an attestation. Two lines rewrapped to accommodate the insertion. "cites" stays present-tense - the restored clause does not reintroduce the future tense that the row's signature made wrong, and grep confirms no "will cite" remains. Still a stale-artifact flip and still not a new signature. The row signed 2026-08-21 15:56 EDT remains the sole authority for C3 being signed. Verified: no "NOT SIGNED" and no "unsigned" anywhere in the file; timestamp is the signature's, not this commit's - "2026-08-24" appears zero times; CRLF preserved (344 CR / 344 LF); one file touched.

The future tense existed only because the row was unsigned when the sentence was written. Left alone it would read "the artifact that row's Evidence will cite" immediately after asserting the row is already signed. Flagging it because the task specified two edits and this is a third line touched.

One clause dropped
"That row, once signed, is the attestation" is removed by the rewrite. Its substance survives in the sentence that follows, which still states this document is neither a substitute for the row nor itself an attestation.
