  2. 30m

    Docs sharpened

    Terminal warning deleted, Session Mode Contract added, 'What good means' added, Product Gravity Check added, Anvil duplication reduced, business context marked volatile.

  3. 60m

    Ignition arc fixed

    Hard stop added after orient ('Ready for the Charge'). 'Brief' renamed to 'Charge' throughout ignition.md and HOW_TO_WORK_WITH_ZEB.md.

  4. 90m

    Retro analysis + trap gap discovered

    Agent scanned 22 session retros. Found that traps_to_load was declaration-only — no proof mechanism that traps were actually read.

  5. 105m

    Trap enforcement wired

    Added traps_confirmed to ignition.md, _SCHEMA.md, engine-guard.mjs. Hard fail on empty or partial confirmation.

  6. 120m

    Enforcement Gap Scanner added

    Report-only warnings for: unrun gates, missing shaping_pass, empty no_anvil_reason, vague prevention_move/stop_condition. Partial trap confirmation promoted to hard fail.
