Two design-only tickets opened together because they're tightly coupled — pillar VII records bind to combinatorics@v1 via pi_star_ref, and #000032 lands first to avoid rebind churn on that field. #000032 — combinatorics@v1 π* ============================= A new π* kernel that canonicalizes pure-integer counting expressions (binomial, factorial, permutations, partitions, Catalan, Bell, Stirling) and FAILS CLOSED on any input whose result is not a non-negative integer. Tighter domain than algebra-symbolic@v1, which already accepts the same input surface but happily returns symbolic / negative / rational outputs. Distinguishing feature: algebra-symbolic@v1 returns binomial(n,k) → "binomial(n,k)" (symbolic), binomial(-3,2) → 6 (generalized). combinatorics@v1 rejects both. Operators choose the kernel by what they want rejected. Output format: integer string (b"10"). Compose with arithmetic@v1 to get bytes-identical agreement (b"10/1") for the multi-modality witness flow. Estimated size: ~120 LOC module + ~80 LOC tests + ~22 fixtures. Single-commit feasible. #000033 — Claim-pack pillar VII (combinatorics) ================================================ Extend the claim-pack source (#000029) with a new combinatorics pillar slotting into the documented gap (existing v2 bundles use I, II, III, IV, V, VI, IX — VII and VIII reserved for extension). Counting axioms (Pascal's rule, addition principle, multiplication principle, pigeonhole, factorial / binomial definitions) + classical theorems (binomial theorem, inclusion-exclusion in counting form, hockey-stick, Vandermonde, Catalan closed form, stars-and-bars). Bundle provenance is the open question — three options documented: A. Commission a Grok-4 v3 bundle for parity with the existing pack. B. Hand-curate from textbooks (Stanley, Brualdi, Wilf, Knuth). C. Hybrid — LLM draft + human curation. Hard constraint: explicit authorship metadata. No silent invention. Bundle landing is a config + data exercise; no source-code changes to arborist/sources/claim_pack.py needed since the source already iterates arbitrary pillar names. Sequencing: #000032 first (kernel), #000033 next (records bind to it from day one), #000031 stays parallel-track (textbook ingest for warrant promotion). Both tickets stay open · awaiting go/no-go pending fox's implementation green-light.

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