Two deeper review findings (both blockers) + doc de-staling.
C2-deep: my earlier C2 made purge/delete TRACE as memory.write, but gate_writes
did `get_node(id) -> skip on None`, and purge had already DELETEd the row — so a
destructive removal still never opened a Memory PR (it was silently skipped).
The most security-critical write type couldn't be reviewed. Fix: a missing node
is now gateable for destructive decisions — gate_writes builds the WriteContext
from the decision itself (marks `forgets`, which classify_write gates), and the
PR records the removal with node.deleted=true. Proven live: purging a node opens
a PR (kind node_decayed, deleted true); test
gate_opens_pr_for_destructive_write_after_node_deleted_c2.
PRIV: gate_writes copied the FULL node.content into the PR diff + title, so a
real secret in a gated memory would leak into the memory_prs table, the
dashboard, and any exported proof bundle — defeating the point of gating
sensitive writes. Fix: the PR now stores a truncated content PREVIEW + an FNV
content HASH, and sensitive-topic/sensitive-node-type writes are fully REDACTED
("[redacted — sensitive content; review via risk signals]"). The reviewer still
sees the risk signals (why it opened) and a hash (to correlate), never the
secret. Tests gate_redacts_sensitive_content_in_pr_priv,
content_preview_redacts_sensitive_and_truncates, content_hash_is_stable. The
committed memory_pr.json + the whole proof bundle were re-captured and contain
no secret (verified by scan); the re-shot memory-prs.png shows the redaction.
DOC: REVIEW.md commit list is now git-log-based (no stale hashes); C2-deep + PRIV
added to the findings table; PROOF.md write/PR rows updated; test count -> 1007.
Gates: 1007 lib tests pass (+7 new regressions), clippy -D warnings clean,
dashboard check + build clean.

Two more review findings — both real, both blockers — plus stale-doc cleanup.
C1: the B1 release used reverse_suppression(subject_id, labile_hours), which
REFUSES once the 24h active-forgetting labile window has passed. So a Memory PR
reviewed late could be marked "promoted" while its memory stayed suppressed.
Approving a quarantined write is an explicit reviewer decision and must release
the memory regardless of elapsed time. New SqliteMemoryStore::release_quarantine
fully clears the suppression (count→0, suppressed_at→NULL) with NO time-window
limit; the PR handler now uses it. Proven: a test backdates suppressed_at to
+100h, shows reverse_suppression refuses, and release_quarantine still releases.
C2: memory(action="purge"|"delete") returns `action` + nodeId but those labels
weren't in is_write_decision, so destructive removal bypassed the memory.write
trace and the PR gate. Added purge/purged/delete/deleted/forget/forgotten.
Proven live: purging a node now records a second memory.write event
({"decision":"purge"}) under the run.
Docs: REVIEW.md de-staled — removed the fixed 140b15f diff-stat / "3 commits"
prose (it moved with each fix), listed all commits, added C1/C2 to the findings
table, updated the test count.
Gates: 1002 lib tests pass (+3 new regressions), clippy -D warnings clean,
dashboard check + build clean.

A full multi-agent review found 7 real issues (4 blockers). All fixed + tested.
B1 (blocker): Promoting a Memory PR did not release the quarantined memory —
the UI said "promoted" while the memory stayed suppressed/out of retrieval.
act_on_memory_pr now calls reverse_suppression(subject_id) on accept actions;
MemoryPrAction::releases_memory() encodes the rule (promote/merge/supersede
release; forget/quarantine keep it held). Proven live: PR response
subjectReleased:true, SQLite suppression_count 0.
B2 (blocker): memory promote/demote (returns `action`, not `decision`) and
codebase remember_* writes bypassed the write-trace + PR gate. extract_writes
now reads `action` too, filtered by is_write_decision (reads like get/state
excluded); is_write_tool includes `codebase`.
B3 (blocker): receipt ids collided within a run (r_<date>_<runId> +
INSERT OR REPLACE overwrote earlier receipts). IDs are now
r_<date>_<runId8>_<unique6>; build() mints the suffix, build_with_unique()
keeps tests deterministic.
B4 (blocker): proof bundle was assembled from two runs (trace.json=run_proof,
websocket-events.jsonl=run_proof2). Re-captured the whole bundle from a single
run — trace, websocket, receipt, and memory_pr all carry run_proof now.
B5: Black Box receipts panel showed global latest, not the selected run.
Added list_receipts_for_run + /api/receipts?run= ; the page uses listForRun.
B6: SENSITIVE_TOPICS substring matching false-fired (tokenizer->token,
author->auth, secretary->secret). Switched to word-boundary matching; real
phrasings (auth token, security vulnerability, api key) still gate.
B7: set_review_mode now writes atomically (temp+rename via write_atomic);
export_trace sanitizes run_id in the Content-Disposition filename; memory-prs
static routes declared before the dynamic /{id} route.
Withdrawn: the /mode-vs-/{id} route order is NOT a functional bug (axum 0.8 /
matchit prioritizes static segments) — reordered for clarity only.
Gates: 999 lib tests pass (+9 new regressions), clippy -D warnings clean,
dashboard check + build clean.

Freeze feature work and package the Black Box proof bundle for full review
before anything else lands (no quarantine-constellation work has started).
REVIEW.md is the single entry point: frozen public claim, the per-producer
caveat ledger (real / caveat — sanhedrin.veto stays an honest off-by-default
caveat; dream.patch is REAL but not live-by-default), and the exact command
receipts (run live at 2026-06-22T22:57:59Z, toolchain pinned) for every
validation status credited — nothing claimed from memory.
The bundle (blackbox-proof-2026-06-22/) already contains: status/trace/receipt/
memory_pr JSON, two live WebSocket captures (one with the dream.patch
TraceEvent), six screenshots (Black Box, Receipts/ReceiptCard, Memory PRs,
Graph, dream Black Box, dream producers panel), and PROOF.md. Every credited
artifact was verified to contain real content.
Review surface: 27 source files, +5830/-18 across commits 80c823a, b89beee,
140b15f (build artifacts + proof bundle excluded).

Bounded follow-up (tight acceptance criteria, no scope expansion): flip the
dream.patch producer from "quiet because no dream ran" to a recorded live event.
The dream tool's `insights` array carries no per-item id, so the recorder
extracted zero proposals and dream.patch never fired even on a real dream.
Fix: derive a stable proposal id from each insight's REAL content (its
insight_type + the source memories it consolidated). The dream genuinely ran;
this just gives each real proposal a deterministic handle. Unit-tested against
the exact dream output shape.
Proven end to end (run_dream_proof, 6 memories consolidated):
- one dream.patch event: dream:RecurringPattern:5d941c7f+a41aca72+...
- SQLite + /api/traces/:runId: dream-trace.json (14 events, last is dream.patch)
- WebSocket: dream-websocket-events.jsonl (the dream.patch TraceEvent)
- dashboard: screenshots/dream-producers.png — the row flips to "fired this run"
PROOF.md updated: dream.patch moves from CAVEAT to REAL (still not live by
default — it fires only when a dream actually runs, and the UI says so).
sanhedrin.veto remains an honest CAVEAT (optional hook, off by default).
Gates: 957 lib tests pass, clippy -D warnings clean.

Make the receipt chain impossible to doubt. Freeze the claim surface, prove
every hop, and turn the two off-by-default producers into explicit UI states.
Frozen public claim: "Vestige records real MCP memory activity into a
replayable local trace, with receipts and reviewable risky writes." We do NOT
claim Sanhedrin vetoes or dream patches are live by default.
Regression — full-spine test (server.rs): one runId must cross, byte-identical,
MCP output -> SQLite trace -> WebSocket event -> API response shape ->
MCP resource. Fails if any hop drops or rewrites the id.
Honest UI states (Black Box "Event producers" panel):
- sanhedrin.veto -> "No veto producer connected (optional Sanhedrin hook, off
by default)" instead of empty mystery.
- dream.patch -> "No dream run in this trace" unless a dream actually ran.
- contradiction.detected -> "no contradiction in this run" when none fired.
Quarantine review (not pre-write blocking): risky writes are committed then
suppressed — audit history preserved, retrieval influence suspended until
reviewed. Reworded the server notice + UI copy to say exactly that.
Receipts UI gap closed: ReceiptCard is now mounted on the Black Box page
(retrieved/suppressed/trust-floor, activation path, "Open receipt in Cinema").
Proof pack (blackbox-proof-2026-06-22/): status.json, trace.json (the
.vestige-trace.json export), receipt.json, memory_pr.json (promoted via
UI->API->SQLite), websocket-events.jsonl (live TraceEvent x6 + PR opened/
decided), screenshots (Black Box, Receipts, Memory PRs, Graph), and PROOF.md
with real/caveat/stub per feature.
Gates: 988 lib tests pass, clippy -D warnings clean, dashboard check + build
clean.
