Changes touching this path

• a named landmark stops needing a format major to carry its message, because a landmark IS an attestation under a reserved role envelope the signature already covers — and that is also what keeps a retirement from eating the thing it retires, since the attestation log is keyed by (change, attester, role) and writing both under one role made the retirement silently REPLACE the attestation rather than record beside it (#1508) 2d06014f · dbf3dbe6…
• a flags value stops being read as a flag, because `FlagSpec::given` asks in flag position the way `positionals` already does and every verb-local scan in both binaries is deleted behind a census that refuses the shape — which is what had `loot tag -m "-d"` signing a retirement, `loot describe -m "--no-snapshot"` silently skipping the capture, and `loot-first land --allow-publish "--skip-tests"` skipping the gate that is its whole job (#1612) b40e1843 · dbf3dbe6…diff
• tag and buoy stop disagreeing about whether a landmark is live, and the disagreement turns out to have been built by a sentence that was true of the resolver and read as true of the verb: both module docs said buoy is untouched by construction, which holds for loot_core buoy resolve and is false of the verb the operator runs, so the fix is entirely in what buoy consults and resolve is not changed by one line. a retirement annotates and never withdraws - that was already decided rather than open, since ADR 0025's #1508 amendment calls a retirement advisory, and four recorded facts each independently forbid withdrawal: there is no trustworthy order to withdraw by because newest is topological precisely since authored_at is advisory and never an ordering input; the attestation log is keyed by change, key and name so re-attesting after a retirement is a no-op, which would make retire the one permanently destructive verb on an append-only lane by a route that deletes no byte; buoy trusts peer-registry union self, so under withdrawal any registered peer could silently un-name somebody else's landmark; and the result would be the mutable ref that ADRs 0022 and 0025 exist to reject. so buoy now reports the retirement it already resolved through, in all three formats, additively - the B row and the human answer line are byte-identical to their pre-fix selves and the porcelain contract pin stayed green through a revert that reddened three others, which is the additive claim proving itself. an un-retired control runs in the same test so both-mention-retirement cannot pass on a verb that always mentions it, and four independent reverts were each proved red including one dropping the trust gate, which surfaced a stranger's validly signed retirement. no record is deleted or rewritten, so #1508's AC3 stands and its pin passes unchanged; the false sentence is narrowed at both copies rather than deleted, naming resolve as its subject (#1611) ac8ee01f · dbf3dbe6…diff
• loot notes lands as a SECOND WRITER ON THE ATTESTATION LANE rather than as a record type of its own, so AC3 and AC6 arrive FREE and the wire does not move: a note is an attestation carrying a reserved role, the sibling of #1508 landmark record in the namespace the TAG field was shaped to admit, so every shipped reader parses the bytes, FORMAT_MAJOR does not move and NO RELAY OR FORGE REDEPLOY IS OWED. the visibility rule is the decision and it is DERIVED rather than chosen: the attestation lane carries no key and no grant list and rides the bundle beside the change it names, so a note audience is EVERY HOLDER OF THE CHANGE including a relay holding no content key - on a wholly-Internal change that audience can already open every byte, so no text ABOUT it can tell them anything new, and that implication FAILS THE INSTANT one path is Restricted or Embargoed. so the verb REFUSES on a change recording any path sealed narrower than Internal and names the paths, while Published PASSES because it is Internal plus world, a WIDER audience. inherit was rejected on its own terms - a Change HAS NO SINGLE VISIBILITY, that is the founding sentence of the glossary, so inheriting means a key granted to the INTERSECTION of holders which goes stale on every grant and maroon - and own-visibility was rejected because it is the only option that can OVER-disclose, making the safe answer an operator choice every time on an append-only already-delivered lane. an allow-leak hatch was declined because it would consent to nothing enforceable. the gate is the unconditional FIRST STATEMENT of the write path above a match exhaustive over the three writing ops, so a fourth does not COMPILE until it has an arm, and the limit is stated rather than implied: the check is at WRITE time, a path demoted afterwards leaves the note standing, and burn is the verb for that. seventeen mutations, each red with the count read, and both risky pins carry POSITIVE CONTROLS - the version-id pin mints a real version three lines below the assertion that notes did not, and the visibility pin has a peer who provably CANNOT open the sealed object reading the note in the clear beside it, each half the control for the other. a smoke run caught a defect this change had introduced rather than inherited: a multi-line note broke the attested-by line at column zero, so the cut is made AT THE DOOR, which covers a multi-line tag message that was latent and never exercised (#1519) 0ec3069f · dbf3dbe6…diff
• the reserved-role envelope is read and written in one place, and loot tag reads its listing through the door. reserved.rs now owns SENTINEL and is_reserved_role (re-exported from landmark, so every path other crates use still resolves) and a crate-private envelope writer; ReservedRecord::parse strips the sentinel and splits the tag off once and hands the body to Landmark::from_body or Note::from_body, which parse only their own fields, and Landmark::parse and Note::parse are now the wildcard-free landmark and note arms of that parse rather than second readings of the envelope. tag.rs build_landmarks matches ReservedRecord::parse without a wildcard instead of Landmark::parse plus is_reserved_role, so a scratch variant fails to compile there as at render, attestation_shape and the two per-type views (E0004, checked and reverted). Note::parse is not made stricter. a table test freezes the pre-#1850 landmark and note parsers as an oracle and runs every role joined from twelve fields up to five deep through Landmark::parse, Note::parse and ReservedRecord::parse, green before the move and after it, and a second pin spells out the role bytes both records write. red under mutation: the empty-name check dropped from the landmark body (2 passed, 1 failed), the door matching the note tag case-insensitively (2 passed, 1 failed), and the envelope writer appending a sentinel (1 passed, 2 failed). no migration, no wire or format byte moves, and no forge or relay byte moves, so this owes no deploy. the workspace suite is green (3925 passed over 123 binaries, 7 ignored) (#1850) fcd4a153 · dbf3dbe6…diff
• sweep 3 fix-up over #1849, #1850 and #1853. the afk-loop sweep states one rule for a declined blocker, admitting the ticket for the scope that survives and naming the declined part, or excluding it with the declined blocker as the failing condition when nothing survives, and names the 100-comment cap of gh issue list, with gh issue view as the full read. the executor pin now edits a merge target through the real verb and reads both parents back, and it fails when a minting Refit variant goes undriven: executor_pin records each variant it sees through a wildcard-free match, and the test destructures that record without a rest pattern. plan_move and plan_reorder ask the draft rule of move_edges and reorder_edges, the derivations minted_edges declares, instead of their own copies; MintedEdge names the edge tuple; the Reopen comment says first parent; counts beside growing sets in refit.rs, landmark.rs, CONTEXT.md and the skill point at the set instead; the range-diff Handle control names the type the compile_fail probe imports. declined: a MintedEdge struct, since readers destructure the tuple and a struct adds no invariant, and a shallower reserved-role oracle, measured at about half a second, since four fields deep builds no landmark and fails its own class count (0 passed, 1 failed). red with the every-parent fix undone, the merge-target case (0 passed, 1 failed); red under mutation: a dropped duplicate case (0 passed, 1 failed), move_edges keeping the source on its old parent (0 passed, 2 failed), an undestructured Seen field (E0027), and the Handle type renamed (1 passed, 1 failed). no migration, no wire or format byte moves, and no forge or relay byte moves, so this owes no deploy. the workspace suite is green (3925 passed over 123 binaries, 7 ignored) (#2057) 9634e655 · dbf3dbe6…diff

Renames are not followed. loot's tree maps a path to an address, so a rename is a delete and an add. This list is the history of the name, not of the bytes.
