role completion

role: M1 — FE mechanism curator status: complete artifacts created or changed: research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/A01.md, research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/A02.md, research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/A03.md, research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/A04.md, research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/A05.md, research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/A06.md, research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/A07.md, research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/A08.md, research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/fe-card-completeness.csv, research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/fe-candidate-consolidation-log.md, research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/fe-source-appendix.json, research/evaluations/FE-BOUNDARY-2026-07-24-v1.2-machine-pilot/private/fe/role-completion.md direct observations: theory-of-framework-engineering-v0.1.md states four provisional theory claims (identity-capability separation eases reasoning; structured redesign improves traceability/evidence handling but adds complexity; a finite primitive set may capture procedural structure; primitive sufficiency is weaker in coordination-heavy than reasoning-heavy problems) and explicitly states the theory does NOT yet show reliable superior-framework design, stable independent-extraction vocabulary, or clean reasoning/execution grammar separation. CONSTITUTION.md states published framework versions are frozen during evaluation and superseded/failed hypotheses are preserved in the historical record. research-constitution.md's sixteen rules require kill conditions per hypothesis, separate recording of observation and interpretation, an Evidence Decision Record before hypothesis review, and confidence updates only after evidence survives review. emergent-design-laws-v0.1.md labels its seven heuristics "evidence-supported heuristics rather than accepted engineering laws" requiring independent replication to become law. CURRENT_STATE.md names FE-011A, FE-012A, FE-012B, FE-012C, and FE-013 only as one-line active-experiment purposes, with no procedural detail at that path. curator interpretations: Where the seven-document canonical set states a rule or heuristic without a mechanism-specific procedure (e.g., A01's implementation test, A06's monitoring procedure, A07's certification detail), fields were marked absent rather than filled from generic governance rules, except where a generic rule was applied to a specific candidate by explicit inference and tagged as such. The A03/A07 candidate merges were independently re-derived from definitional adjacency and governance-section adjacency in the permitted documents rather than from the experiment-protocol reasoning the v1.1 lead card used, since those protocol documents were outside this role's permitted inputs; the merges were confirmed but on narrower grounds than the v1.1 log states. unresolved items: Every card in this set scores below the v1.1 lead cards on the schema's operational-completeness rule (this role's scores: A01 0.4375, A02 0.625, A03 0.4375, A04 0.375, A05 0.5, A06 0.375, A07 0.3125, A08 0.4375; see fe-card-completeness.csv), because the seven permitted canonical documents do not contain the FE-011A/FE-012A/FE-012B protocol and result detail, the FE-008A hypothesis file, the identity-capability reference model, or the experiment architecture/schema files that the v1.1 lead cards cited for operational fields such as implementation_test, decision_rights, provenance, and implementation_cost. This gap should be surfaced to whichever role next reconciles the v1.1 and v1.2 card sets: the two curators worked from evidence sets of different size by design, and score differences between them reflect that, not necessarily a difference in how well-evidenced the underlying candidates are. protocol deviations: none contamination incidents: none observed. No file under cards/blinded, B01-B06, B-series, source-registry.json, comparator, mapping, reviews/, leakage/, adjudication/, cards/private-comparator, or private-b-series-source-cards.json was opened. Only the twelve permitted-input paths (or the specific paths named within them, e.g. A01.md-A08.md, fe-card-completeness.csv, fe-candidate-consolidation-log.md, fe-source-appendix.json, mechanism-card-schema.json) were read; ls/find were used only to confirm directory structure and target-write paths, not to read file contents outside the permitted list. gate recommendation: Proceed to the next stage with an explicit caveat attached: this v1.2 private/fe card set is intentionally sourced from a narrower canonical base than v1.1's private/fe card set (seven top-level governance/theory documents only, versus the full experiment-protocol corpus). Any downstream comparison, blinding, or subsumption judgment that treats v1.1 and v1.2 FE cards as evidentiary equals should first confirm whether that is the intended experimental design (a test of curator-evidence-set sensitivity) or an artifact to correct before Stage B exposure. exact next handoff: The next role needs (a) all eight cards in private/fe/A01.md-A08.md, each with statement_basis tags on every field; (b) fe-card-completeness.csv for the per-card operational/descriptive/absent field breakdown; (c) fe-candidate-consolidation-log.md, which confirms the eight-candidate grouping but flags that the A03 and A07 merges rest on weaker (definitional-adjacency) grounds here than in the v1.1 log; (d) fe-source-appendix.json, marked reviewer_visible: false, which must stay out of any Stage B or recognition-participant packet. No comparator-side or blinded material was read or referenced by this role, so no leakage risk originates from this role's outputs beyond the ordinary need to keep the private/fe appendix out of reviewer-visible packets.
