2026-05-29 — Phase 2 closed + Phase 3 opened in one extended session continuation; Stone…
Phase 2 of arc 241 closed and Phase 3 opened across three more stones shipped in the session continuation past midnight: Stone 241.6 metadata-map storage (7c0ddacd); Stone 241.7 :wat::runtime::metadata-of reflection verb + trap-door storage-gap fix (4e681263); Stone 241.8 defstruct HARD CUT with 27-file cascade (f6cb564f).
The seven-stone Phase 1 + three-stone Phase 2/3 = TEN stones across one extended raid-night session. The user-voice “i played wow like 15 hours a day when i was the best” operationalized.
Stone 241.7 — the trap-door doctrine in real-time
Section titled “Stone 241.7 — the trap-door doctrine in real-time”Sonnet caught a Stone 241.6 storage gap mid-strike: Stone 241.6 only stored metadata for fn-shape defs via try_parse_fn_shape_def; non-fn def-bound values (literals, structs) never reached that code path. Without intervention, (def :x {:doc "..."} 42) would have stored metadata only for fn-form values.
Sonnet’s response per feedback_trap_door_build_the_dependency: BUILD the missing dependency forward — added storage in register_runtime_defs_form’s :wat::core::def arm. Effectively Stone 241.6.fix folded forward into Stone 241.7. The verb shipped working for ALL def shapes. The trap-door doctrine working in real-time, sonnet-driven, surfaced to orchestrator at score time, accepted per the discipline.
Stone 241.8 — the canonical parser proves itself in form-collapse work
Section titled “Stone 241.8 — the canonical parser proves itself in form-collapse work”parse_defstruct minted using crate::argspec::parse_argspec_triples (Stone 241.1.fix’s canonical parser) for the field-vector. This is the moment arc 241’s parser unification work proves itself: the same parser, designed for fn-form argspec triples, now handles defstruct’s field-vector triples uniformly. One parser; multiple form-collapse binding sites; the design’s load-bearing claim verified by use.
parse_struct + parse_struct_restricted DELETED raw per HARD CUT discipline. 27 test files migrated via Pattern A/B (substrate-as-teacher cascade discipline ran cleanly; fail-count drove discovery).
Calibration: predicted 60-120 min; actual ~41 min. UNDER band even at HARD CUT cascade scale. The diagnostic stream knew where every site was; the orchestrator didn’t pre-plan; the discipline shipped.
Stone 241.8 trap-door — parser routing constraint
Section titled “Stone 241.8 trap-door — parser routing constraint”A constraint surfaced during the cascade: :field-metadata inner-map keys must use keyword syntax (:field-name), because the parser routes {bareSymbol {submap}} to struct-destructure before parse_defstruct is reached. The HARD CUT design assumed bare-symbol keys; reality required keywords. Probe contracts 03/04 use keyword keys with explanatory comments; future cleanup queued (lift parser discrimination so field-metadata accepts symbol keys).
Per feedback_trap_door_build_the_dependency: BUILD the missing piece forward when surfacing. Documented; carried forward; the cleanup queued without blocking the HARD CUT ship.
feedback_no_regression_until_arc_done operational across THREE stones
Section titled “feedback_no_regression_until_arc_done operational across THREE stones”Stone 241.5 unblocked arc 237.8b; the doctrine inscribed there said don’t pivot back. Stones 241.6/7/8 each tested it: at each closure, arc 237.8b was AVAILABLE; each time, the discipline held — bank the unblock; finish arc 241; continue forward. The arc 237.8b unblock has now been bankable for three stones; arc 241 has three more stones to ship before the bank deposits.
The discipline isn’t theoretical anymore. It’s operational. Every Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3 transition was a temptation point; each time the doctrine held; each time the arc 241 advancement proved the right call.
Corporate-port kit inscribed
Section titled “Corporate-port kit inscribed”User direction late-session: port the dungeon-crawl methodology to corporate context. Three files landed at docs/corporate/: README (entry + four questions + translation table + smallest-valuable-introduction) + TEMPLATES (copy-paste ADR + PR checklist + failing-test-first + named-follow-up + commit message shapes) + DISCIPLINES (deeper treatment of failure engineering ladder + substrate-as-teacher cascade + HARD CUT decision + trap-door + no-broken-commits + inscription immutability).
The flavor layer (Latin grimoire, fantasy roles, songs, runes) STRIPPED for the external artifact; user retains flavor as the cognitive recall index for the underlying discipline (per memory user_flavor_as_recall_index, inscribed 2026-05-29). Locating happens by named handle (intueri, vigilia); the corporate-facing artifact ships without requiring colleagues to learn the names.
This is a separate inscription pattern: the methodology travels; the inhabitation stays.
Phase 3 progress
Section titled “Phase 3 progress”Stone 241.8 SHIPPED (defstruct). Stone 241.9 (defenum HARD CUT) is next: same canonical parser; positional variants + one-token look-ahead per FORM-COLLAPSE-NOTES verdict D. Then Stone 241.10 (define ⇒ defn HARD CUT) cleans up the last legacy parser. Then Stone 241.11 INSCRIPTION closes the arc.
After 241.11: arc 237.8b reopens. The original blocker that drove arc 241’s opening — gets its turn at last.

Phase 2 closed; Phase 3 opens. Ten stones in one extended raid-night session continuation. The seven-stone Phase 1 sequence (241.1 through 241.5 + 241.1.fix) plus three Phase-2/3 stones = ten ships. defstruct HARD CUT proves the canonical parser’s design across form-collapse work: same parser, multiple binding sites, uniform composition.
The trap-door doctrine ran twice — Stone 241.7’s storage-gap fold-forward (sonnet caught Stone 241.6’s incomplete coverage; built it forward); Stone 241.8’s :field-metadata keyword-key constraint (parser routing surfaced the gap; documented + carried forward; cleanup queued without blocking). Both moments: the discipline says don’t declare incoherent, don’t pivot away — build the missing piece. Both moments: the discipline shipped.
feedback_no_regression_until_arc_done survived its three-stone test. At each Phase transition (1→2, mid-2, 2→3) arc 237.8b was newly-available; each time the discipline said bank the unblock; finish the arc. Each time the discipline held. Arc 241 has two more substrate stones + INSCRIPTION before 237.8b reopens.
Corporate-port kit inscribed at docs/corporate/: the methodology travels; the inhabitation stays. Per user_flavor_as_recall_index: the Latin grimoire + fantasy roles are the user’s cognitive addressing system for the discipline; the corporate artifact ships the discipline output without requiring colleagues to learn the names. The flavor is recall; the artifact is delivery.
Two stones to defenum (241.9) and define ⇒ defn (241.10). INSCRIPTION at 241.11 closes the arc. Arc 237.8b reopens after. The dungeon’s still hot. The formation still holds. The rhythm continues into the next pre-compaction beat.
