Motif roster apply — fresh-context critic verdict (2026-07-29, ledger 28au)

VERDICT: GO-WITH-FIXES (1 MAJOR + 3 MINOR + 1 landing blocker; ALL applied before landing).

• MAJOR 1 — the roster query written into canon returned 0 rows: 8 prose cells still carried the

pre-Appendix-S token after the director's cell-value flip. FIXED (fix_critic_findings.py F1:

8 query-form replacements; adjective uses of the word deliberately left — the director narrowed

the first over-broad postcondition, which had fail-stopped on legitimate prose).

• MINOR 2 — JOURNEY_WORLD hard_line_relevance carried s1.9 one-directionally (all prohibition,

no counterweight). FIXED (F2: the individual-antagonist-scored-in-his-own-register sentence

inserted; the blanket-register-ban failure named).

• MINOR 3 — HOME_AND_LOSS compressed citation: HL_0099 governs the Elven King; the mother

inherits the discipline BY RELATION. FIXED (F3).

• MINOR 4 — doctrine stale on landing (s1.5 roster-by-flag identification; Appendix S 26-col/12-row

counts). FIXED same commit (both passages updated with the pre-apply state preserved as record).

• LANDING BLOCKER 5 — registry_extensions.json had no owner for the two new columns. FIXED

(motif-roster: row_class + parent_theme_id).

VERIFIED CLEAN by the critic: all 12 live hard_line_relevance cells byte-identical (HL_0109 /

HL_0035 / Ch-76-only intact); reference-zone drift exactly the intended set; 14x28 no ragged rows,

CRLF no BOM, all JSON parses; cardinal_theme=12 matching s1.5's list; cue_variant=2 with resolving

parent FK; composer_in_loop_required=True x14; reveal tokens zero-new (7->7 / 2->2 / Ch76 10->10 /

Ch77 9->9 / thesis 3->3); every new-row anchor resolves (CHPRO_B07/B16, CH01_B13/B08, CH02_B11,

CH13_B13, EQ_0001 Mother's Amulet, ARC_0001, HL_0116/0043/0046/0099/0095, SEAM_TYPING_SPEC

s0.1-0.3, FORK C); naming correct (Talvaeren, no superseded names); no pre-Ch-38 Velheim-pattern

or pre-Ch-76 kinship leak; BE_0076's "3, evolve not swap" independently corroborates the collapse;

the VIMANA retitle satisfies s1.5.

Provenance: author agent (Opus) -> director token ruling (Appendix S line 2006 owns the enum:

cardinal_theme) -> fresh critic (Opus) -> director fix round -> this landing. The transform +

fix scripts are archived beside this file; the authored-content review record is PROPOSED_ROWS.md.
