bench: 5R battery — closes ticket #000021 (15-sub-battery suite complete)
Phase 2 of #000021. React/Rearrange/Restore/Replicate/Resonate over
the workspace surface — selfmodel_records (#000014) + memory_records
(#000017), both landed earlier today. Closes the gap that gated 5R
since the substrate work shipped.

Sub-battery semantics (per SQD whitepaper §9.3 + ticket #000021 §4.2):

- React: incorporate new fact/constraint. Workspace = (snapshot_t0,
  snapshot_t1, expected_delta). Pass = added_facts present + removed_facts
  absent in t+1.
- Rearrange: restructure without semantic shift. Re-canonicalize
  different surface forms through a named π*; pass = bytes match
  expected_equivalent flag. Tests the order-invariance contracts in
  SelfModel (capability_claim_hashes sorted) and Memory (branches
  sorted by branch_id).
- Restore: retrieve prior fact. Workspace = (history[], current_facts[]).
  Pass = fact in current OR any historical snapshot.
- Replicate: independent canonical encodings via π*. Same input run
  N times must yield byte-equal output. Tests determinism contract.
- Resonate: variance across N runs. Deterministic π*'s yield
  distinct=1; expected_max_distinct=1 enforces zero-variance contract.

Surface:

- bench/batteries/b_5r.py (5 deterministic runners; no LLM-as-judge)
- bench/fixtures/5r/{react,rearrange,restore,replicate,resonate}-v1.jsonl
  (30 each = 150 new fixtures)
- runner.py registers 5r in _BATTERIES + _DEFAULT_FIXTURES
- Makefile: bench-5r + bench-suite (5S+5T+5F+5R aggregate)

Final tally:
  5S  syntax/semantics/syllogism/synthesis/semiotics       108
  5T  transfer/transfer-learning/triangulation/...          154
  5F  function/finetuning/falsification/...                  50
  5R  react/rearrange/restore/replicate/resonate            150
  TOTAL: 462 fixtures across 21 sub-batteries — 100% pass.

Tests: 6 new in tests/test_bench_batteries.py + adjustment to
test_session_integration.py for the 312→462 count + 5R sub-battery
presence assertion. Full suite: 1192 passed, 36 skipped.

Closes #000021. Phase 3 (external-corpus expansion) remains open
under the ticket but does not gate closure — the complete
Dav1DPrometheus surface is now executable infrastructure.

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 ID line 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.md for 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-shard concept_relations synonym/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 of final_label. Captured pre-ticket per the 2026-05-07 arborist-vs-donto comparison; promotes to a ticket when an actual agent use case surfaces)

If a doc proposes change AND awaits a decision AND has scoped implementation cost, it's a ticket. Otherwise it's reference.
