Record the M3.10a gate result and repair the blocker claim - #166
Merged
Conversation
…laim The founder-decision gate ran on M3.10a, the slice that specifies `economy-transition-v6`, and stopped it. Thirty-six decisions were enumerated before any was judged; thirty-two are delegated by ADRs 0039 through 0042 and the constitution, six are deductions from decided principles, and four are founder-reserved. Two of the four appear verbatim under "Explicitly unresolved founder details" in the constitution — how far mandatory verification reaches into a native transfer, and what turning biometric confirmation off entirely means for a Founder Seat's protection asymmetry — which makes them reserved by the gate's first test. Both are inside the contract: the first decides kind 1's rejection conditions against `ledger-transition-v1`'s recipient-creating transfer, the second governs kinds 4, 7, and 8 and the shape of the policy state. The handoff recorded "Blockers: None", which generalised from the pivot's own three closures to the milestone. Nothing in the repository changed; the next slice reached decisions that were already listed as open. The "Exact next action", "Phase", and "Blockers" sections now agree with the constitution's unresolved list, and the entry that filed those two questions as blocking nothing records the reclassification. Also records what the enumeration derived, so the next session does not re-derive it, and prunes a duplicated paragraph about the C++ codec. Refs #165

Thirty-six decisions were enumerated before any was judged.

current-state.mdrecorded Blockers: None. The pivot's own three questions did all close on 2026-08-15, and the handoff generalised from those closures to the milestone. Two items the constitution has listed as unresolved since the pivot were filed as "answerable alongside" the entry-funding question and "blocking nothing on their own"; once that question closed, the next slice became the contract, and the contract reaches both.Nothing in the repository changed. The slice moved toward the questions.
