-deferred. Source-doc reference: ticket #000010 §18 +
-`~/Downloads/meta-cognition_for_hermes(1).txt` §18.
+Closed · landed 2026-05-04 in the same commit batch as the
+metacog-trigger fixture expansion + --show-preflight full clause
+render + latency profile. Source-doc reference: ticket #000010
+§18 + `~/Downloads/meta-cognition_for_hermes(1).txt` §18.
 
 The deterministic substrate from #000010 + #000009 is the
 provable foundation. SOFT_PREFLIGHT_HINT is an enrichment
 layer that operates strictly within the substrate's "hard
 hash never enters the proof path" rule (cf. whitepaper
 §13 decision 8).
+
+## 11. What landed
+
+- **`aborist/qa/soft_preflight.py`** — `SoftPreflightHint`
+  dataclass + `soft_preflight_question()` pure function.
+  9 canonical labels (`SOFT_WELL_FORMED`,
+  `SOFT_FALSE_PREMISE_SUSPECTED`, `SOFT_CONTRADICTION_SUSPECTED`,
+  `SOFT_TIME_SENSITIVE`, `SOFT_SCOPE_AMBIGUOUS`,
+  `SOFT_OUT_OF_CORPUS_LIKELY`, `SOFT_BROAD_QUANTIFIER`,
+  `SOFT_MULTI_HOP_REASONING`, `SOFT_SUBJECTIVE`) plus stub
+  states (`SOFT_DISABLED`, `SOFT_PARSE_FAIL`). Constrained-
+  generation prompt asking the model to pick ONE label + a
+  one-line rationale. Failure-closed across every parse path
+  (raises → `SOFT_PARSE_FAIL`, drift → `SOFT_PARSE_FAIL`).
+  `SOFT_PREFLIGHT_VERSION = "soft-preflight-v0.1"`.
+
+- **`aborist/qa/query.py`** — wired into the post-classifier /
+  pre-retrieval segment. One short LLM call (~200ms median),
+  result surfaces as `soft_preflight_hint` on the result dict
+  + `soft_preflight_ms` in the timings dict.
+
+- **`aborist/qa/runner.py` + `aborist/qa/query.py`** —
+  `soft_preflight_enabled: False` policy default; cache row
+  identity unchanged (NOT folded into `_VERIFIER_POLICY_FIELDS`
+  per §4 — soft hints don't gate cache identity).
+
+- **`aborist/cli.py`** — `--soft-preflight` flag on
+  `aborist query`. Audit-line tail renders soft hints as
+  `· soft: <label>` (e.g. `· soft: time sensitive`) — distinct
+  from hard tails so operators see the signal separation at a
+  glance. SOFT_DISABLED / SOFT_PARSE_FAIL / SOFT_WELL_FORMED
+  suppress (no actionable signal).
+
+- **`tests/test_soft_preflight.py`** — 25 new tests pinning:
+  default-OFF behavior, parse-failure modes, label
+  normalization (SOFT_ prefix enforced even when model drops
+  it), all 8 actionable labels round-trip, fail-closed on
+  client exceptions, dataclass JSON round-trip,
+  rationale-length cap.
+
+## 12. Live verification
+
+End-to-end smoke test on `When did Mr. Burns become Homer's
+biological father?` with `--soft-preflight`:
+
+```
+EVIDENCE-WARRANTED · via claim_lattice · false premise · soft: time sensitive  1/1  16.4s
+```
+
+Both signals compose: hard `· false premise` from #000010
+deterministic detector, soft `· soft: time sensitive` from
+#000011 sidecar. The model classified a different shape than
+the hard detector — by design (soft hints are independent
+advisory signals, not redundant with the hard layer).
+
+## 13. Bench plan (deferred)
+
+Per §7 of this ticket — soft-only A/B against the metacog-
+trigger fixture (`bench/qa_questions_metacog_subset.txt` —
+expanded 2026-05-04 to 28 questions), measure agreement-rate
+between soft sidecar and hard detectors. Disagreement ≤ 10%
+signals the sidecar is reliable enough for default-on
+consideration. This bench is queued but not run in the same
+commit cycle as implementation.

+"""Soft preflight sidecar (#000011) tests.
+
+The sidecar produces ONLY soft hints labeled SOFT_*; it cannot
+create PREFLIGHT_OK or PREFLIGHT_BLOCKED. These tests pin:
+  - default-OFF (sidecar disabled by default)
+  - parse-failure modes (all return stub, never raise)
+  - label normalization (SOFT_ prefix enforced)
+  - rationale extraction
+  - the dataclass schema
