2026-08-31 — A fact a source can settle is read, not recalled, adopted as itd-197 at the documented-protocol rung on the maintainer's instruction. Recall locates a source and never quotes one; the rule binds any assertion about to be written into a record, a commit message or a brief, or used as the grounds for a decision, and leaves conversation free to be provisional so long as it says which it is. Occasioned by four errors in one session, each about a document its author had read carefully hours earlier: the grounds put to the maintainer for degrading the supply-regime gate cited a licence the design does not give, since its condition is "degradation only on observed noise" and the evidence was a constructed corpus over an instrument that has never run; a captured issue asserted that no non-test file referenced the agent definitions when one already declared the directory constant; a residue paragraph claimed an enumeration could not fall behind while two written lists survived inside it; and a synthetic battery's result was reported as measured. The pattern is the finding: confidence tracked FAMILIARITY rather than accuracy, and the material nobody had read that day produced no false claims because nobody felt able to assert anything about it. Routed by the four-piece table: the stance and its gate to a discipline record; no capability, because the remedy is to open the file; no ADR, because it governs method rather than architecture; no trust rule. Filed as a discipline rather than left as agent memory BECAUSE it was already agent memory: a note from a previous session saying to check a principle's letter before citing it was in context from the first turn and did not bind, which is memory-graduates-to-record's promotion signal in its stronger form, a lesson recalled and then not followed, showing the home rather than the lesson to be at fault. Rejected: leaving it as a memory item, which is what had already failed, and writing a detector, because whether an assertion was read or recalled is not visible in the text. REACH IS THIS REPOSITORY ONLY.
