THE DEFAULT FLIP (ruled on proven evidence — at-ack survived 301/301
acked-writes-through-power-cut in block-layer fault injection; deferred
tree authority demonstrably loses flush-covered acks): a brain with NO
stored authority artifact now ADOPTS LOG AUTHORITY AT OPEN. The oracle
gates the flip exactly as the guarded adoption path always did — curable
divergences baseline-backfilled, the flip lands ONLY on a green verdict —
and a brain that cannot verify STAYS tree-authoritative loudly, with the
refusal recorded on the switch artifact so subsequent opens are cheap.
config logAuthority: 'defer' is the explicit documented opt-out (no
automatic adoption; declared flush-window loss; adoptLogAuthority() flips
later). A stored artifact always wins. RELEASES.md carries the posture.
Two standing .fails debt pins FLIP TO HOLDING under the default: the
at-ack crash-survival gap and the ack-at-log durability target — both now
permanent asserted truths, not aspirations.
POWER-CUT THROW SITES (fault-injection findings, brainy-alone config):
- A manifest-listed-but-unloadable column segment QUARANTINES at
discovery (loud once, counted always, quarantinedSegments() exposed for
the heal) and the field serves its remaining segments DEGRADED — never
a raw throw killing every query on the field. Real storage faults still
propagate untouched.
- Torn generation artifacts (NaN/garbage in manifest or counter) DISCARD
with narration at the store's open and recovery re-derives — plus a
defensive finite-integer guard at the init consumer. Never a RangeError
killing an open.
THE LOUD TORN-RECORD CONTRACT: an existing-but-unparseable stored record
now surfaces as a typed, counted TornRecordError on every entity-read
surface (including fifteen previously-blind per-item batch catches);
ENOENT stays clean-absent; artifact readers with designed absent-recovery
keep null-tolerance behind the loud floor. Disk corruption can no longer
read as silent data invisibility.
Suite migration: the default's pins inverted deliberately, generation
baselines made relative, quarantine-contract pins rewritten to the ruled
behavior.

- Watermark stamping fans out at flush: all three projections stamped
with the committed generation before their flushes persist.
- waitForIndexed(path?, {generation, timeoutMs}) — the one honest read
barrier for write-then-recall consumers; typed timeout error carries
the pending count and names the gauge; getIndexStatus() gains
per-projection gauges. awaitPendingEmbeds() unchanged underneath.
- adoptLogAuthority() self-backfills curable divergences (pre-log
records, witness drift) by identity re-commit before flipping — a
fresh brain flips clean; log-ahead divergences still refuse loudly.
- The verification oracle gains VERB legs (all four divergence classes;
unwired = honest verbsChecked: 0, never a scope claim).
- find({where: {}}) match-all serves (was silent-empty, warm AND cold;
same fix in count/streaming/subgraph seeding); removeMany({where:{}})
refuses typed — a match-all bulk delete must be explicit.
- Aggregation native envelope stamped via noteSourceGeneration before
serializeState; the native-blob restore gates through the same
adoption verdict as caller-side state (the unconditional adopt dies).
- LC8 pinned: a wholesale directory move opens and serves identically
across all three intelligences, with history traveling.
