#000036 §10 enumerated three open questions for tightening C_B1 /
C_B2 / C_B3 below their conservative-by-construction
data-processing-inequality ceilings of 1.0. #000036 §7 Phase 2
explicitly parks them as a single deferred work item but didn't
have its own ticket. This commit captures Phase 2 as #000043 so
the work doesn't get lost across three unrelated tickets and
the gating dependencies are visible in the ticket index.
§2 of the new ticket walks the three tightening paths:
- §2.1 C_B1 (gradient-bias) — feeds from #000034 Phase 1b
(real v7 checkpoint + Hessian-alignment probe). Verdict
→ C_B1 estimate via alignment-score distribution.
- §2.2 C_B2 (LR-trajectory diversity) — per-deployment
1-Wasserstein clustering across LR-grid mini-replicas.
Cluster count → effective channel symbols.
- §2.3 C_B3 (SGD shuffle regime) — cheapest path; deployment
configuration audit (DataLoader settings). Random-shuffle
→ C_B3 ≈ 1/√N_b; cyclic → ~1; adversarial → 1.
§3 ships the override surface already landed in
t3_bound_calculator.py (--c-b1 / --c-b2 / --c-b3 flags) — Phase
2 doesn't change the calculator's interface, only the numeric
values plugged in. New §3.2 sketches a per-deployment YAML
config-file shape; §3.3 routes measurements back into
soft-hash-channel-t3-bound.md §7.4 + §10 closure.
§7 status: parks until v7 plastic-training has at least one
active deployment AND either #000034 Phase 1b lands (unlocking
§2.1) OR a cheap-path operator audit lands (unlocking §2.3).
Partial closure (any one of §2.1/§2.2/§2.3 individually) is
acceptable.
TICKETS.md index row added; Next ID bumped 000043 → 000044.
Status note (separate finding from this commit's scope): fox
landed a comprehensive test_t3_bound_calculator.py
(51 new tests; full suite now 1720 passing vs my 1669 from
1dfb8b9). Tests validate the T3 calculator's mathematical
identities (B1/B2/B3 isolation, monotonicity), input-validation
surface, and operator-guidance text mode transitions. fox's
tests still untracked at this commit — this commit only stages
the ticket draft.
Doc-only commit; no code touched.

Arborist tickets — index
Arborist uses a flat ticket-NNNNNN-<slug>.md convention for actionable
proposals: defects with a known root cause, design proposals awaiting
go/no-go, or scoped enhancements queued for future implementation.
Convention
- Filename:
docs/tickets/ticket-NNNNNN-<slug>.md. The ID is a six-digit zero-padded integer; the slug is hyphen-lowercase and short enough to stay readable on a 100-column terminal. - Numbering: monotonic, never reused. Pick the next free integer
greater than every existing ticket. The current next ID is on the
Next IDline below; bump it when you open a ticket and commit the bump in the same commit as the new ticket file. - Header: every ticket starts with
# Ticket #NNNNNN — <short title> **Status:** open · awaiting go/no-go (or "in progress", "closed") **Opened:** YYYY-MM-DD **Scope:** <one-liner — what this ticket is for> **Audience:** <who reads this> **Hard constraint:** <invariants this ticket commits to NOT break> - Body: problem statement, design choices with trade-offs,
recommendation, implementation sketch, scope boundaries, status.
See
ticket-000001-retrieval-keywords-audit-gap.mdfor a worked template. - Closure: when a ticket lands, flip Status to
closed · landed in commit <sha>and leave the file in place. Do not delete tickets; they are the design log.
Distinction from other docs
docs/ also contains architecture references and bench journey notes
that are NOT tickets — they describe state of the world rather than
proposing change. Examples that stay un-numbered:
cti-architecture.md(architecture reference)mesh.md,mesh-deploy.md(architecture + ops reference)qa-modes-bench-2026-04-30.md(point-in-time bench journal)verifier-semantic-gap-design.md,self-reference-design.md(older design docs that pre-date the ticket convention; leave as-is unless retroactively promoting one to a ticket adds value)concept-relations-design.md(architecture reference for the per-shardconcept_relationssynonym/rivalry layer + the 1.6% storage-tax rationale; landed 2026-05-01)tool-action-dag-design.md(research path for an action- provenance layer downstream offinal_label. Captured pre-ticket per the 2026-05-07 arborist-vs-donto comparison; promotes to a ticket when an actual agent use case surfaces)warrant-substrate-cookbook.md(architecture reference for the 18 open-licensed textbook substrates backing every claim-pack record, written 2026-05-10 after the 18/92 → 92/92 push under#000031. Per-pillar substrate map, ingest patterns, alias discipline, cascade tuning, honest tier breakdown.)
If a doc proposes change AND awaits a decision AND has scoped implementation cost, it's a ticket. Otherwise it's reference.
