Both halves are on their main branches, so the seats stop being an intention. Writes the as-is
document from the controller's code and the catalogue's manifests: the closed set of fourteen, the
three refusals a claim meets, the holder being an assignment and nothing else, and the one place a
seat changes resolution — which of several providers answers, never whether a requirement may go
unanswered.
Two things the as-is layer exists for are stated rather than smoothed over: a seat cannot answer
before it is held, which is the standing condition issue 121 records; and capacity is not
implemented at all, so the design's bench has no counterpart in the code.
Playbook 02 and 04 were followed for the substance — decisions before design,
design before build — and skipped for the bookkeeping. This closes that.
004 graduates. Its one open item was "not yet stood up"; the lab is stood up,
and the substitution the effort turned on is now enforced by the validator
before anything is raised rather than left as a thing to remember. Its
certificate conclusion has a home in 01-end-to-end-testing and is designed but
not built — implementation is a third axis, and an effort graduates on its
conclusions.
One item leaves 004 without a home and is recorded rather than lost: the reverse
proxy does not set caServer, so it defaults to the production endpoint.
The two lab designs read `designed` while running in production of a sort, so
they become `in-progress`.
And the lab gets an as-is document, which it did not have. It records what runs
including the parts nobody would choose again: that `place:` is refused and the
lab therefore raises EMPTY MACHINES, that the drawing shipped with no design
document behind it, that a router is tagged as a machine for a reason found by a
bug, and that the integration suite raises two of five scenarios while both
faults found so far lived in the three it does not.
006 stays active, deliberately. Two of its open questions ARE the tier 0 design
— whether absorbing six concerns makes the host too large, and whether an
unprivileged node earns a place in the inventory. Playbook 04 is explicit that
an open question is a reason to research, not to build around.
papa-hq reads 01 research -> 03 decision -> 02 design. The order is a
scar, not a choice: 02-DESIGN existed from its initial commit, and when
adr/ was finally promoted on 2026-07-13 it took the next free number
rather than its place in the sequence. By then design was too settled to
renumber.
hal-hq was three commits old, so it is not. adr/ becomes 02-DECISIONS and
02-DESIGN becomes 03-DESIGN, and following the folder numbers now walks
the process in the order it happens: research produces a decision, the
decision authorises a design.
00-GENESIS becomes 00-META, matching papa's rename from the same
restructure.
Every path reference rewritten across documents, frontmatter, playbooks
and skills. All links resolve; all 58 frontmatter blocks parse and their
path fields still point at files that exist.
