The user can send it another message and resume it, so the same task-id may notify more than once.</note> <result>I have what I need. No further reads required. **VERDICT: CHANGES NEEDED** The core edit is right: §2.2's replacement clause in the spec is the design's §3 wording verbatim, §11 and §13 step 10's closures match `main`, and AGENTS.md's one-rule quote matches the spec's. What blocks is a botched edit in §15, plus three stale obligations and one false justification the verb change left behind. **Blocking** 1. **§15's bullet still carries the text it was meant to replace.** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-30-home-design.md` lines 1145–1149: after the new "What remains open there is design, not review: …" sentence, the old text survives — *"Ruling 18 approves the shape; the design carrying it is explicitly unapproved — its §12 says the review AGENTS.md requires has not run. §2.2's verb does not change until it does. Also open there: the per-instance deadline, the fan-out budget, the RAM cache TTL and the body cap are all named as decisions and none is chosen."* That is false on `main` (design §12 says the review ran) and contradicts the same bullet and §2.2 as amended. Delete from "Ruling 18 approves the shape" to "none is chosen." While there: the remaining-open list omits two of design §12's items — whether `actor` is worth having, and front-door layout (arguably this spec's own, but say so). 2. **§0's gloss justifies "retains" with two claims that are not true.** Lines 26–31: *"the home now handles a title for the length of one response"* — no: the design's §7 RAM cache holds it for the refresh TTL and up to the hard maximum age, cross-person (design §2.1's "honest residue"), and the spec's own §2.2 three paragraphs later says "or that design's RAM cache TTL". And *"The word that carries the rule is the one with a test behind it, and that word is retains"* — the test (gate 1's grep, design gate 11) tests *at rest*, i.e. "stores"; nothing tests "retains". The gloss must state that "retains" means at rest, or it is literally contradicted by a cache that retains across requests. On the word itself, pressed as asked: **"stores" is the better word.** It is already defined in this document (§3.2: addresses "transient in RAM elsewhere" are not stored), it has gate 1 behind it, it is the verb §2.2 now uses, and it is parallel to the first half of the sentence ("never stores a readable address, and never stores what is in anything") — and for content, unlike addresses, it is true without a "readable" qualifier. "Retains" is what the design's §3 said, so switching is a one-word departure from the approved text and wants Paul's nod; keeping "retains" is tolerable only with the gloss fixed as above. 3. **The verb change un-anchored the support-console prohibition, and three cross-references still point at §0.** "Never learns" forbade an operator reading content; "never retains" does not — an operator view that displays without retaining passes it, and so does the falsifiable form. What now forbids it is §2.2's first bullet ("only to that person", "no operator view"). Fix the references: spec §2.2 fourth bullet (line ~162, "is what §0 forbids"), spec §14 last row ("Never, under §0"), AGENTS.md #4 ("precisely what the one rule forbids"). This is the one substantive thing "retains" loses, and the amendment did not trace it. **Should fix in the same commit** 4. **Ruling 18's row (§1, line 72)** still says the cross-team list is one *"which `design-activity-pull` specifies and argues for, so that design must be revised"*. It was revised (design ruling 6). Same class as the §13 step 10 fix the branch already made — past tense it. 5. **§13 step 10** still ends with *"so its §2.1 needs re-justifying and its §5.4 reopening revisiting"*. Both are done on `main` (design §2.1 "re-justified", "Why §5.4 is not breached"). Past tense. 6. **AGENTS.md's "nothing wider" list is narrower than the spec's.** AGENTS.md #1 names search, cross-person aggregation, operator view; the spec's §2.2 and design §3 also name **no analytics** and **no retry queue holding a response body**. Per-person analytics and an in-RAM retry queue are the two things AGENTS.md now permits by omission. Add both. ("store"/"stores" and "sheet thumbnails" are fine — house style of that list.) **Advisory, not required by the approved list** - §2 ("It holds no content") and §3.1's live-compromise model don't mention the RAM residue: a compromised live home now yields the cache's cross-person recent titles and, via minting, any person's titles. Design §5.1 argues this is inside the existing hole; the home spec should say so somewhere rather than leave "holds no content" unqualified. - Once approved, the spec's status line should record this amendment's review by model, per AGENTS.md's review rule.

The user can send it another message and resume it, so the same task-id may notify more than once.</note> <result>**VERDICT: CHANGES NEEDED** Checked at source: worktree HEAD `38a5e79`, diff against `main` `83df656`, both files in full, and `2026-09-05-activity-pull-design.md` as merged (unchanged on the branch). The six addressed items all landed as described; the re-anchoring and the closures are correct. The problems are in the gloss itself, in the "it gained a test" claim, and in three places the amendment did not reach. ## What I verified as done - **§15's bullet** now says only that the review ran; its remaining-open list matches design §12 item for item (deadline, budget number, body cap, refresh TTL, hard maximum, cache bounds, minimum interval, one-process, swap/core dumps, `actor`, layout). - **Support-console anchor**: all three references (§2.2 fourth bullet, §14 last row, AGENTS.md thing 4) point at §2.2's first bullet and say why. Nothing else in either file cites §0 or "the one rule" for the console. - **Ruling 18's row and §13 step 10** are past tense and match design ruling 6 and its §2.1 ("re-justified", "§5.4 reopening revisited"). - **AGENTS.md's "nothing wider" list** now carries all six items (on-disk cache is in the first sentence). - **§2's bullet** says "at rest" and states the live-compromise residue. - **§11's "No activity feed yet"** is correct: approved, not built, blocked on steps 3 and 4. - **Design §3's "seven places change on approval"**: all seven landed (design status block and §12 were already done on `main`). - **Sign-in's transient address** is consistent with the rule under either reading below: it is per-request in RAM, and at rest only sealed, which "readable" already covers. ## Blocking **1. The gloss defines "retains" three ways, and they do not agree.** In consecutive paragraphs of §0: - "**'Retains' means at rest, and only at rest.**" - One sentence later: "it *retains* them in RAM for minutes" — the ruled word used in exactly the sense the definition just excluded. RAM is not at rest; under the definition this sentence is a contradiction in terms. - Paul's recorded ground: "the risk here is duration: a title held in RAM across requests is the thing the cache does **and the thing the rule must reach**." If the rule reaches the RAM hold, "retains" is not at-rest-only. This matters beyond wording. Under "at rest, and only at rest", §0 permits an in-process title index held until restart, for everyone, with no bound — nothing in §0 reaches it; only §2.2's "transiently and per request" and the design's §7 hard maximum do. Under Paul's ground it does not. As relayed, Paul's ruling was that the word is about *time*; the coherent form of that is: the rule reaches the RAM hold by bounding it (refresh TTL and hard maximum, design §7, gate 20 tests the bound), and at rest is the unbounded case. "At rest, and only at rest" cannot stand beside the ruling's own reason. Pick one definition; make the gloss, the concession sentence and the ruling's recorded ground say the same thing. **2. "That is the line gate 1's grep actually tests" is false as §12 reads.** §12 gate 1: "against a seeded corpus of known addresses." No title, URL or actor. The grep for content is design gate 11, which says "gate 1's corpus grows a set of known titles" — and the spec's §12 has not grown it. Same for gate 9 and §3.4's rule ("no address, team name, or queue payload"), which design gate 11 "extends" but the spec does not know about, and for AGENTS.md's Data bullet. So the amendment's central purchase — "'never stores' has a grep behind it" (§0, §2.2, AGENTS.md rule 1) — is unbacked in the spec's own gates. The commit message concedes gate 1 tests at rest; it tests at rest *for addresses*. Fix: amend §12 gates 1 and 9, §3.4's rule and AGENTS.md's Data bullet to include pulled content (titles, URLs, actors) as design gate 11 specifies, or cite gate 11 by name instead of gate 1. **3. AGENTS.md carries "never retains" with no gloss, and disagrees with the spec.** Its rule 1 permits rendering "transiently and per request" and never mentions a cross-request cache. Read alone — and it is the binding file — "never retains" plus "per request" forbids the RAM cache the spec approves. AGENTS.md's own rule says the spec wins and the fix lands in the same commit. One line carrying whichever definition finding 1 settles on. **4. §2's opening paragraph still assumes the old verb.** Line 100: "The instance boundary rule governs content, and the home holds none." Line 115: "for a service holding no content the safety properties are the leak profile (§3) and the authorization re-check (§6)." The bullet at line 124 got the "at rest" qualifier; the paragraph carrying ruling 11's argument (one shared instance, not per-account) did not — and that argument now has something for the boundary rule to bite on: a cross-person set of titles in the one process that mints sessions, which design §2.1 says in so many words. It needs the same qualifier and a sentence on why sharing still holds, or a note that `carlos/pegamento` #1 should see it. **5. The status line does not record this amendment's review.** AGENTS.md: "Record which model reviewed — in the spec's status line." The status line records ruling 22's four passes and the revision's 11 findings; nothing about the §0/§2.2 amendment. Add model (Fable 5.1), pass count (two so far: the first CHANGES NEEDED with three blocking and three should-fix; this one), and the verdict of the approving pass when it comes. Under the spec's own rule it does not merge without this. ## Should fix 6. **§9 line 580**: "since every call is instance→home" is no longer true of the approved contract — call 7 is home→instance (design §4), and design §2.2(b) records a detection property lost with it. The conclusion (no channel for a fleet-wide poke) survives because call 7 is per-render, but say "every call in this table", and give call 7 a row or a pointer as approved-not-built. The design deliberately left §9 alone ("nothing here replaces it"), which is why the spec has to. 7. **§2 bullet**: "a compromised live home can mint for anyone" was always true; what is new is that minting now also buys any person's recent titles via call 7 (design §5.1). The "since the amendment" frame implies minting is new. And the preceding bullet's "costs the graph and a convenience outage" now understates; a "see next" would do. 8. **The gloss says "what it never does is put them at rest"** while the design lists swap and core dumps as unestablished, and a swapped page *is* at rest (design §2.1: "must be settled before this ships"). §15 carries them; the gloss should say the at-rest line has two unsettled platform facts behind it rather than present the grep as settling it. 9. **Merged design §11's last row** cites "(§2.2, §0)" for "an operator view of anyone's feed" — leaning on §0 for the thing this branch says §0 no longer forbids. Not this branch's file; record it as a follow-up in §15 or the branch discussion so it is not lost. 10. **"blind"** in the quoted rule now sits beside a gloss conceding the home learns titles. Factor XI's category label; half a line saying it is the category, not a claim about titles. ## Nits - §15 bullet: "…one process, and whether swap and core dumps are off, whether `actor`…, and the front door's layout" — stray "and". - AGENTS.md line 77 is a single 315-character line in a file wrapped at 78. - §2.2 says "four Fable passes"; the design and status line say "Fable 5.1".

The user can send it another message and resume it, so the same task-id may notify more than once.</note> <result>**VERDICT: APPROVE** All ten addressed items verified at source in `fa5eafd`. Nothing in the two files is now false about itself, the two files agree with each other, and where they disagree with `design-activity-pull` on `main` the disagreement is recorded as a follow-up in §15 (one of them; a second should be added — below). What remains is should-fixes of a sentence or two each and nits. Apply the first two in the same commit if there is one; neither blocks. ## The four questions **1. Is "holds without a bound" coherent across the four places?** Three of the four say the same thing: §0's gloss (home spec lines 33–55), the recorded ruling ground (lines 57–64, "the risk here is duration"), and AGENTS.md rule 1 (lines 69–75) and its one-rule gloss (lines 23–29). The fourth — §2.2's clause text "may render, transiently and **per request**" (spec line 187, AGENTS.md line 64) — is stricter on its face than the other three. AGENTS.md now says so itself ("read alone, 'transiently and per request' would rule that out") and supplies the reading note. **The spec's §2.2, which is the binding text, has the identical phrase and no such note** — its amendment paragraph mentions "or that design's RAM cache TTL" (line 196), which a reader of the whole bullet will find, but the file that wins on disagreement carries the clause AGENTS.md calls misleading without the correction. *Should-fix:* mirror AGENTS.md's one sentence into spec §2.2's first bullet, or change the clause to "per render, and across renders only inside `design-activity-pull` §7's bounded cache" in both files (the design's §3 quotes the clause verbatim, so a wording change would need its own follow-up line; the note is cheaper). **2. Does the definition permit anything it should not?** Yes, one thing, and it is the thing the gloss was written to exclude. "Without a bound" is satisfied by any finite number. A hard maximum age of 30 days, with 10,000 person entries in RAM, is "bounded" — and is, in practice, the "in-process title index for everyone" that line 54 says the old wording would have permitted. Nothing in either file caps the number: `design-activity-pull` §7 says the refresh TTL is "Short" (no number) and the hard maximum is "the number the removed-from-a-team case turns on" — downward pressure from honesty, not a custody ceiling — and its §12 lists it as must-settle-before-ship. Two further observations while pressing it: - The home spec names the bound as "§7's refresh TTL and hard maximum" (line 48; AGENTS.md line 26). That is the *age* bound only. `design-activity-pull` §2.1 (line 259) says the cache is bounded by "a maximum number of person entries and a maximum bytes per person, evicting oldest first" — and it is the entry count, not the age, that actually caps the cross-person set §2's re-examination worries about. The home spec does not name it, and (see 3) nothing tests it. - "At rest is the unbounded case" is true of a Litestream-shipped SQLite file, not of every at-rest form: a metric label has Prometheus retention, a log line has platform retention, a tmpfs cache can have a reaper. What actually forbids those is §2.2's and §3.4's enumerated lists, not the definition. That is fine as long as nobody treats the definition as the whole rule; a sharper phrasing would be "at rest is the case where the bound is not the home's own to enforce" — which also covers swap and core dumps in one clause. *Should-fix:* in §0's gloss and AGENTS.md's one-rule gloss, say a bound is a written number with a reason, short — sized to the render, not to retention — and name all three (age, entries, bytes per person). The number itself stays open in the other design; the doctrine line should carry the bound's *character* so a 30-day value cannot be argued as compliant. **3. Are the grown gates sufficient?** For what §2.2 *forbids* (storage), yes: gates 1 and 9 with the grown corpus, plus the design's gate 11 through the failure paths, cover the SQLite file, WAL, store objects, log lines, error strings, metric labels and on-disk artifacts — every place §2.2's list names. There is no retry path in the design (the word appears only in the not-licensed list), so no gate is owed for a retry queue. What is missed is on the *permitted* side, i.e. the bound the definition turns on: gate 20 tests the age bound through failure; **no gate (11–20) exercises eviction on the entry-count or bytes-per-person bounds.** Verified by grep — "evict" appears in §2.1 and §7 only, never in §9. That gap is in `design-activity-pull` on `main`, not in this diff, so it belongs in §15's follow-up bullet beside the "(§2.2, §0)" one. (Nit in the same area: §3.4's list names log lines, error strings, job status and metric labels; a trace/span attribute is none of those. "Any telemetry attribute" would close it, if the platform ever grows tracing.) **4. Old-verb residue and §0-leaning.** Both files are clean. Spec line 536 ("learns nothing about links or capabilities") and 691 and 1022 are about capabilities, provisioning and `?team=`, not content — correct as written. AGENTS.md line 195 is addresses. **But `design-activity-pull`'s Scope line on `main` (line 30) says "without the home learning or holding any of it"** — which §0's gloss now says outright is false ("A rule claiming the home never learns them would be false the first time the feature ran"). Its §5.4 is safe ("learns nothing *durable*"); the scope line is not. *Should-fix:* add it to the §15 follow-up bullet that already records the "(§2.2, §0)" citation, so both one-word fixes to that file are in one place. ## Nits - **§9 line 614: "every call in this table is instance→home" is false** — calls 1, 3, 4 and 6 are person→home. The original sentence was already loose; the insertion made it wrong. Intended meaning: "no call in this table runs home→instance." The insertion also left "and instances hibernate" dangling after the call-7 parenthetical; the clause needs re-stitching. - §0 gloss, second bullet (line 48): "§7's refresh TTL and hard maximum" is unqualified in a document whose own §7 is Provisioning. The first bullet says "`design-activity-pull`'s §7"; the second should too. - §0 gloss (line 58): "§3.2 defines it" — §3.2 inventories what is at rest; §3.4 is the section that says logs are storage. "§3.2 and §3.4 delimit it" is accurate. - §9's table has six rows; call 7 is approved and named in the prose below it. A row 7 marked "approved, not built — §13 step 10" would stop the next reader asking why the design numbers from 7. - §3.2 "What is at rest, precisely" does not mention pulled content at all. One line — "Never at rest: pulled content (titles, URLs, actors), held in RAM per `design-activity-pull` §7" — would give §0's gloss a home-spec anchor rather than only the other file. - Status line (lines 10–11): "two passes so far, the first returning CHANGES NEEDED with three blocking" — the second pass's outcome (five blocking) is not recorded; this pass will need adding regardless. - §15 activity-pull bullet (lines 1218–1220): "and whether swap and core dumps are off, whether `actor` is worth having, and the front door's layout" — one "and" too many. ## What I confirmed and am not repeating Items 1–10 of the addressed list all match the text. §2's re-examination is accurate against `design-activity-pull` §5.1 (line 520–528: "inside an existing one"). The support-console anchor moved consistently in §2.2, §14 and AGENTS.md rule 4, and the reasoning ("a console that displays without keeping passes §0") is correct under the new definition. Ruling 18's row, §11's "No activity feed yet", §13 step 10 and §15's struck bullet all agree with the design's status block on `main` (four passes, fourth approving).</result> <usage><subagent_tokens>92375</subagent_tokens><tool_uses>11</tool_uses><duration_ms>259247</duration_ms></usage> </task-notification>
