Mover v3 core: resolve the independent pre-outcome review (round 8, not frozen) - #192

Append the owner's 2026-10-12 foundation rule to the end of the "Decide
by evidence" bullet on all six always-loaded rule surfaces: AGENTS.md,
the portable Claude block, the Codex template, the scaffold and the two
new-WSL carriers, regenerated with new_wsl_client_config.py
--write-blocks. A tool, runtime, model or skill is installed, run or
made a default only after the layer's own convergence passes it;
popularity, recency and vendor claims make it a lead, never an
admission.

- tests: a fail-first test that every layer and native renderer ends
  the bullet with the sentence once (9 failing subtests before the
  edit); CORE updated; the Codex top-rule pin re-derived with
  template_segments() (2,607 bytes); the startup byte ceilings raised by
  a dated comparison to 7,548/7,654.
- docs/decisions/2026-10-12-converged-candidates-only.md: the rule, its
  basis (owner direction, CC ruling addendum-01 with correction #192,
  the existing evidence rule), what it changes, surfaces, budget
  comparison, checks and overturn conditions. Supersession: none.
- manifests/evidence.json: the changed files registered with
  register_file.

…ly through a converged harness (#1049)

* Rule text: use only converged candidates (foundation rule)

Append the owner's 2026-10-12 foundation rule to the end of the "Decide
by evidence" bullet on all six always-loaded rule surfaces: AGENTS.md,
the portable Claude block, the Codex template, the scaffold and the two
new-WSL carriers, regenerated with new_wsl_client_config.py
--write-blocks. A tool, runtime, model or skill is installed, run or
made a default only after the layer's own convergence passes it;
popularity, recency and vendor claims make it a lead, never an
admission.

- tests: a fail-first test that every layer and native renderer ends
  the bullet with the sentence once (9 failing subtests before the
  edit); CORE updated; the Codex top-rule pin re-derived with
  template_segments() (2,607 bytes); the startup byte ceilings raised by
  a dated comparison to 7,548/7,654.
- docs/decisions/2026-10-12-converged-candidates-only.md: the rule, its
  basis (owner direction, CC ruling addendum-01 with correction #192,
  the existing evidence rule), what it changes, surfaces, budget
  comparison, checks and overturn conditions. Supersession: none.

* Rule text: use models only through a converged harness

Append the owner's second 2026-10-12 foundation rule (20:15Z direction)
right after the converged-candidates sentence, at the end of the
"Decide by evidence" bullet, on all six rule surfaces; the two new-WSL
carriers regenerated with new_wsl_client_config.py --write-blocks. A
model runs only inside a converged harness with its full layers; a bare
API call is for measurement probes and smokes only, recorded as such.

- tests: the presence test now covers both sentences, in order (9
  failing subtests before this edit); CORE updated; the Codex top-rule
  pin re-derived with template_segments() (2,860 bytes); the startup
  ceilings raised by the dated comparison to 8,079/8,185.
- docs/decisions/2026-10-12-converged-candidates-only.md: the second
  sentence, its basis (owner direction 20:15Z, CC runtime-roadmap
  ruling), its change, the budget table and checks for both steps.
- manifests/evidence.json: the changed files re-registered.

* Rule text: a screen pass admits a trial; a default needs a measured win

Tighten the converged-candidates sentence on all six rule surfaces, on
the CC's direction: a candidate is installed or run for trial only
after the layer's own screen passes it, and becomes a default only
after a measured win on quality at no higher cost. The Stage A screen
checks documented capability at a pin and runs nothing, so a pass is
not quality evidence. The harness sentence after it is unchanged; the
two new-WSL carriers regenerated with new_wsl_client_config.py
--write-blocks.

- tests: CONVERGED (and with it CORE) carries the new wording; the
  presence test failed first (9 subtests); the Codex top-rule pin
  re-derived with template_segments() (2,864 bytes); the startup
  ceilings re-derived to 8,088/8,194.
- docs/decisions/2026-10-12-converged-candidates-only.md: the new
  wording, the earlier wording it replaces before landing, why a screen
  pass is trial-only (CC runtime-profiles addendum-01, Stage A and B),
  the budget table and checks.
- manifests/evidence.json: the changed files re-registered.

* Rule text: defaults need multi-angle convergence; one angle never admits

Final wording on the owner's 20:29Z direction (CC multi-angle
convergence ruling): on all six rule surfaces, the converged-candidates
sentence now admits a trial after the layer's screen and a default only
when the layer's multi-angle convergence agrees (capability at the pin,
upstream engineering quality, community consensus, net usage, published
evaluations and our own measured runs); where angles disagree, the
disputed dimension is measured first-hand, and no single angle admits a
candidate. The bullet's not-evidence clause reads "alone are not
evidence". The harness sentence is unchanged; the two new-WSL carriers
regenerated with new_wsl_client_config.py --write-blocks.

- tests: CONVERGED and CORE carry the final wording; the presence test
  also checks the "alone" clause in place and the old clause absent
  (9 failing subtests before the edit); PROCEDURE_PHRASES updated; the
  Codex top-rule pin re-derived (3,017 bytes); the startup ceilings
  re-derived to 8,409/8,515.
- docs/decisions/2026-10-12-converged-candidates-only.md: rewritten for
  the final text, with the branch's earlier wordings, the multi-angle
  basis and supersession, the budget comparison and every check.
- manifests/evidence.json: the changed files re-registered.

* Record: how the rule applies to every layer, the freeze and the north star

Add "How the rule applies: every layer, the freeze and the north star"
to docs/decisions/2026-10-12-converged-candidates-only.md, on the CC's
direction: the six angles and per-layer weights, the scope across both
repositories, the wave cycle, the freeze in final-stack.json (current
counts: converged 0, reopened 30, no-winner 2, unswept 2; no angle
weights), what scripts/final_stack.py and CI check today, the revisit
triggers, the SOTA-sources pin rule and the trading north star. Facts
cited path:line at main 489b263, byte-identical at the base. No rule
surface, pin or ceiling changes.

- manifests/evidence.json: the record re-registered.

* Review round 1: private digests out, licence never a disqualifier, reopen rule as written

One commit for both reads of #1049 at ce11fbd (the GPT verdict and the
Claude read), after the registry-only rebase onto main 703d588.

- GPT P1 (#161): the decision record cites the CC's private rulings by
  name only, with no path and no digest; the PR body does the same.
- GPT P1 (licence): the hard disqualifiers are a missing required
  capability (an entitlement or terms conflict counts as one) and an
  abandoned project. Licence is a compliance note (SPDX id, source,
  read time), per the CC ruling ruling-licence-not-a-disqualifier-20261012.
  No rule surface named licence.
- Claude P2-1: the protocol's reopen rule is quoted as written (a FINAL
  layer reopens only when a sweep detects a change, bound to that
  sweep). The angle sources become sweep inputs, a named follow-up to
  recipes/saturation-sweep.md; review contradictions go through the
  corrections rule.
- Claude P2-2: docs/harness-defaults.md:9 reads "alone are not
  evidence", pinned by a new test that fails on the old line.
- P3s: on all six surfaces "the layer's screen (its requirements
  checked at a pin)" and "no single angle makes a candidate a default",
  carriers regenerated with --write-blocks; the presence test failed
  first (9 subtests); TOP_RULE_SHA256 re-derived (3,051 bytes); the
  startup ceilings re-derived to 8,480/8,586 with the Codex
  project_doc_max_bytes primary source (openai/codex rust-v0.162.1,
  config_toml.rs:75). CI checks angle records only once the freeze-wave
  PR lands; plans and host reports are labelled as such.
- manifests/evidence.json: the changed files re-registered.
