The audit triaged every textual wrapper element in the build against Paul's register. Quoted source — canonical lines, chat verbatim, document modal long-form content — held verbatim throughout; Curator territory. The Reviewer worked only on generated wrapper text: panel intros, drawer descriptions, navigation hints, the Threshold body, the Fisherman's Note frame, the Quiet Footer, the Honest Perimeter wrapping, card subtitles, button text, panel-tag labels. Three patterns of drift emerged across the build: (1) internal Method vocabulary leaking into visitor-facing copy — *Substrate Working Papers · spec author · domain sovereignty · the passon discipline · Q31/Q33/Q34 · trade-secret architecture*; (2) subtitle and label cadence inconsistent — some punchy, some sentence-long, some abstract one-word categories; (3) inflated register where simpler words exist — *dynamically · arrived dynamically · the techniques learned, honed and deployed*. 109 textual elements triaged (T1–T109). Three headline findings, six priorities, eight open questions for Paul. Most flags Amber + Bronze (observable drift, single-line fix). Three Reds — drawer 6 internal vocabulary (carried from Pass 1), *Reflexive PE adoption* bullet, *Q31/Q33/Q34 are corpus searches* bullet — each opaque to the mum-end visitor. The findings document was filed at 17:57 UTC. This journal closes the session at 18:00 UTC. --- ## Movement Two — What was built - **Pass 3 findings filed.** `Reviewer_Findings_Pass3_VoiceAndCopy_v1_2026-06-01_1757.md`. Frame, three patterns of drift, three headline findings, fourteen sections triaged (T1–T109), six ranked priorities, eight open questions, honest-perimeter close. - **Three patterns named.** Internal Method vocabulary · cadence inconsistency · inflated register where simpler words exist. - **Threshold rewrite proposed.** First italic paragraph absorbed into one (replaces the two current paragraphs with a single tight one). Three door subtitles unified. Five small-panel labels rewritten in plain English. - **Per-element rewrites.** Each item: current · proposed · rationale. Element-by-element ratifiable. - **Honest Perimeter restored.** Pass 1's editorial proposal (carried to Fisherman) extended here with bullet-by-bullet rewrites if the rename ratifies. - **Stages cluster (Footer) rewrite.** Plain English Stage One/Two/Three; CL-A-013 verbatim stays in the Fisherman's Note closing. --- ## Movement Three — What was caught - **Drawer 6 internal vocabulary leak — Red, repeat from Pass 1.** *AddedFiles/Drawers/ · project root · catalogued separately* still surfaces in the build. The visitor reads file paths. - **Reflexive PE adoption bullet.** Most opaque single string in the Honest Perimeter. *Reflexive · PE · adoption* — three words, two of which require Paul's commercial frame to decode. Mum bounces; Kieren bounces unless she has the Pegs-Holes-Hammers brief. - **Code Editor 1 chat is archived bullet.** *Out of substrate scope · pre-BookMan-Day-1 title use* — same pattern. - **Q31/Q33/Q34 are corpus searches bullet.** Three Q-references in one bullet. Method-internal vocabulary. - ***Bookman* vs *Book Man* inconsistency.** Card 5 title says *Bookman* one-word; everywhere else two-word. Master List says *Book Man*. - ***Domain sovereignty clean*** in Fisherman's Note sub-attribution — internal Method vocabulary in a visitor-facing line. - **Top 5 vs Top 10 mismatch.** Chats panel renders five cards; Honest Perimeter bullet refers to *Q33 Top 10 is editorial judgement*. Either the bullet is stale or the relationship between Top 5 (rendered) and Top 10 (source pool) needs a one-line clarification. --- ## Movement Four — What drifted, where held - **Per-line Cabinet meaning fields.** 34 paragraphs total (8 book + 26 artefact after Pass 1 expansion). The Reviewer sampled and surfaced drifters only. A full per-line sweep would be a Pass 3 supplement; declared as honest perimeter. - **Method-card body voice.** Most read in Paul-adjacent register. Sample checked; full sweep deferred. Declared. - **Long-form chat verbatim and document-modal content.** Curator shore. Untouched by the Reviewer. - **Numbers matrix captions / column headers.** Matrix 1 checked in detail; Matrices 2–11 scanned. Declared. - **The five-panel label rename (H3) crosses Fisherman shore.** *The Instrument · The Role Profiles · The Canonical Lines Cabinet* are Method-vocabulary panel names. Proposed plainer forms; routed via Paul as editorial proposals. --- ## Movement Five — Method demonstrating itself - **Voice preservation absolute on quoted source.** Through 109 elements triaged, every quoted line — canonical, chat verbatim, document modal content — was held untouched. The Reviewer worked only on generated wrapper. - **The three patterns named, not just the items.** Pattern-naming carries forward — Bob (and any future shore) can run the same three lenses against any new copy before it ships. The audit's output is not just a list of rewrites but the calibration to keep producing copy in Paul's voice. - **Element-by-element ratification preserved.** The Brief specified per-element nodding (or batch). The findings format supports both. Paul's choice surfaces as Q8. - **Routing discipline.** Cross-shore items surfaced via Paul: the panel renames (H3) cross Fisherman shore; the *Bookman* vs *Book Man* normalisation crosses Curator shore. No silent cross-shore action. - **Honest perimeter declared up front.** Six items the Reviewer could not assess at depth named in §6 before the recommendations land. The audit's own boundary is part of the deliverable. --- ## Movement Six — Continuous improvement **Reviewer's shore — the audit's own discipline:** - Pass 3's element count (109) is heavy. The output format (current · proposed · rationale) holds the discipline but requires Paul's per-element calibration to ratify. The Method's "execute don't ask" memory feedback suggests: where the Reviewer's read is high-confidence and the change is small (Amber + Bronze on wrapper text), Paul could batch-ratify clusters rather than nodding each. Q8 surfaces this as a Paul choice. **Bob's shore — the build's own discipline:** - Three patterns of drift (Method vocabulary · cadence inconsistency · inflated register) can become a pre-ship copy check Bob runs end-of-session on any new wrapper text. The same three lenses applied at the moment of writing would prevent most of the drift caught here. - The *Bookman* vs *Book Man* inconsistency is one canonical-form drift in one place. A standing pre-ship check: *do any named-position references diverge from the Master List form?* **The Visitor's shore — the next pass forward:** - After v0.50 ships (Pass 3 ratified items), the mum-end test (does she find what she came for) and the Kieren-end test (does the evidence land) can run against a near-final build. A short live-eye check from Paul against both audience-end frames closes the audit's last open question. **The Method's shore:** - The three Reds inside the Honest Perimeter bullets (Reflexive PE adoption · Code Editor 1 archived · Q31/Q33/Q34 are corpus searches) point to a general rule: *the panel that displays the room's honesty has to be the most plainly written panel in the build*. The Method's authority depends on honesty being legible. **The Fisherman's shore:** - Panel renames (H3) and the rename-Honest-Perimeter call from Pass 1 land in Fisherman territory. Bundle as a single editorial proposal to the Fisherman via Paul, after Pass 3 ratifications are batched. --- ## Standing by - **All three Passes filed.** Pass 1 (Look and feel + UX) · Pass 2 (Mobile + accessibility) · Pass 3 (Voice and copy). - **Two PASS-ONs filed.** Pass 1 fixes (B1, B2 + 8 cross-shore items) and Pass 2 fixes (B1–B10). - **Pass 3 ratification queue is open.** Eight open questions for Paul; ~109 elements triaged; element-by-element or batch-ratify per Paul's preference. - **Session 4 (optional)** — the consolidated handover for Bob. Single document Paul can hand him after Pass 3 ratifications close. Reviewer files on Paul's nod. — **The Reviewer** · 2026-06-01 18:00 UTC #state/in-flight #workstream/mtg-artefact #type/journal #the-reviewer #pass-3 #session-close
