A journal with one source of truth.

Avoiding two different life stories

The v100 candidate made the readable developmental journal a reproducible projection of the canonical event ledger. This avoids treating a second, independently edited narrative as another source of autobiographical truth.

The distinction is simple: the underlying event record carries the evidence; the journal makes that evidence easier to read. Rebuilding the presentation should not create new experiences.

The release boundary

The report records 47 of 47 candidate gates passing. It does not certify that this candidate was installed. A broader test continuation was interrupted, so the report is not evidence of a complete suite pass either.

This chapter records a verified candidate and an important memory principle. Its date is approximate, based on the surviving file chronology.
