Development record

2026-09-26 — Three departures the scribe lane (itd-2609020625402599, spc-2609020626045177) made from its closed spec, which its review found recorded only in code, the chapter or the lane report, recorded here (implementer of lane fix2-scribe, autonomous run A). First, the surface chapter is `04-surfaces/31-scribe.md`, not the `24-scribe.md` the spec names: row 24 is `decide`'s, taken before the lane landed, so the chapter took the next free row. The spec is closed and keeps its text; four open lanes claim row 31 (build, lab, source ledger and this one), so the integration step renumbers three of them. Second, the transcript store's check is `SessionSeparation(repoRoot, rootSHA)`, not the `SessionSeparation(rootSHA)` the spec names, because it reads through `history.List`, which takes the repository root to find a checkout's opt-in per-repo transcript store; the report is unchanged. Third, the scribe's context is assembled from the ledger as it stands in the working tree, uncommitted records included, while the intent's scope condition (cond-2609020626046719) says committed ledger content. The working-tree read is what the code does today and the chapter says so. Whether the condition or the code should move is not decided here: it is captured as iss-2609261056373310, a ruling owed.
