Episode Lite and Claim Lineage Integration
Four thin OS extensions, read-and-mapped against existing machinery instead of built as new subsystems — then caught mid-flight for skipping the OS's own gates on the first pass, and closed properly on the second.

OS tests passing after the change
Timeline
Start
Cortex market-comparison Charge received
Two competing strategy documents on ForgeKit OS positioning — sized far beyond what a solo operator needed
Mid
Converged on thin-extension principle
Extend existing machinery before inventing new layers — read-and-map pass Charge issued explicitly
First close (wrong)
Applied 4 diffs, called session theoretical
Edited triggers.md, gates.md, _SCHEMA.md, patterns.md — then skipped the OS Artifact Integrity Gate the edits themselves require
Correction
Zeb caught the self-graded-checklist failure
Re-read from disk, fixed 5 concrete defects, ran tests + guard, wrote this retro
What shipped
Human Dissonance trigger row in triggers.md, routing to the existing Verification Gate in provenance-tracing mode
OS Artifact Integrity Gate checklist line requiring a stated review condition at creation time
expected_signal / review_after / supersedes fields added to spin_triage.new_prevention_artifacts in _SCHEMA.md
supersedes field on spin_triage.accepted, corrected to use the same typed {type, ref} reference shape
patterns.md supersedes convention aligned to the same typed-reference shape (documented in prose, since patterns.md has no JSON structure)
session_audit.outcome_match — the one genuinely new field, replacing an earlier bare outcome_matched_expectation boolean with an assessment + evidence structure, gated on shaping_pass.outcome having actually been populated pre-build
“The ideas are good. The current state is a bridge with all the beams placed but no bolts inspected. I would not drive the OS across it yet.”
