Documentation Drift Catch-Up — April–May 2026 Landings

Documentation Drift Catch-Up — April–May 2026 Landings

What changed

Consolidated chronicle for work that landed on development after the early April governance entries but before this catch-up pass. Cursor refreshed README.md, memory bank rules, and kb/_index.yaml (via rebuild-kb-index.py) in PR-0183. Codex then normalized the website-log record in PR-0184 and closed the LIB-0253 founding-essay provenance loop in PR-0182.

April 2026 — access and orchestration

  • DEC-0024 — Public knowledge, gated compute: KB/graph/imagery public; semantic search and heavy AI surfaces account- or membership-gated.
  • DEC-0022 — Codex as default orchestrator; agents push to development.
  • DEC-0025–0027 — Prompt claim exclusivity, online-source ingest hardening.
  • DEC-0028 — in_corpus: true requires exact manifest-backed ingest; proxies use corpus_proxy_ids. PR-0182 (Codex) confirmed the founding essay's LIB-0253 use is physical-library source coverage with proxy corpus support from CORPUS-010, not exact ingest.

Site tranches (Cursor + Codex): semantic retrieval gate, quota scaffolding, user-bound machine access, membership packaging (DEC-0026). Public /search remains keyword search per DEC-0024.

April–May 2026 — corpus and content pipeline

  • Online source audit and wave-1 ingest (PR-0146, PR-0150, PR-0163): expanded open-source corpus; manifest now 175 texts, ~19,141 chunks.
  • Wave-1 source essays approved (Codex): 19 essay directories under content/specials/*-essay/; cascade queued for six additional books (Guénon through Blavatsky — Claude essays + Cursor imagery + KB deepen).
  • Imagery backlog (PR-0151, PR-0152): 23 figure portraits; concept imagery for Catharsis/Eros; essay imagery for ESS-0018/0019.
  • Notebook + ops: KB flagging in notebook, Agent Operations Center at /internal/* (Codex-owned per DEC-0019).

Production state (unchanged headline)

  • MS-S01-E01 produced, not published; founding essay produced.
  • Most episodes remain stub; make production-report drives scan/ingest priorities.

Files and commands

Artifact Role
kb/_index.yaml Canonical KB counts (348 LIB, 119 CON, 130 FIG, 136 REL, 52 TIM)
corpus/_manifest.yaml Corpus membership and chunk stats

make prompt-queue 20 queued prompts (mostly cascade wave 2)

Commit anchors:

  • f266b594 — access tranche 1: semantic retrieval gating and honest public copy.
  • 87ee3b6b — access tranche 2: user-bound machine access and quota scaffolding.
  • 2316e7ee — access model and exception-ops governance.
  • 0999fc08 — membership and agent packaging pass.
  • 01aab32c / 1e567002 — online-source ingest hardening and retry closure.
  • 6c336dab — exact corpus membership semantics restored.
  • ca200f18 / 7daebd44 — documentation drift remediation and PR-0183 closure.

Follow-up

  • SNAP-0003: current site/corpus/governance state captured after the catch-up pass.
  • Execute cascade queue: Claude source essays before Cursor essay-imagery prompts.
