#24, #26 and #27 all merged, and only #24 reached main. This lands the other two.

What happened

They were a stack: #26 based on tests/t483-t486 (#24's branch), #27 based on
fix/section-9-build-and-close (#26's branch). All three were merged within twenty-three seconds,
and each went into its own base rather than into main:

#24  MERGED  base=main                          -> main has it
#26  MERGED  base=tests/t483-t486               -> stranded
#27  MERGED  base=fix/section-9-build-and-close -> stranded

By the time #26 landed in tests/t483-t486, that branch was already in main, so its content went
nowhere main could see. Confirmed rather than inferred: docs/reference/api/needs_approval.mdx on
main still has the old four-parameter signature.

This is the ordinary hazard of a stack merged bottom-up in one pass, and it is not anybody's mistake:
GitHub retargets a stacked PR to main when its base merges, but only if the base merges first
and the retarget lands before the next merge. Three merges in twenty-three seconds did not leave room.

What this carries

fix/section-9-build-and-close now contains every commit from both, so one merge lands both:

Checked against ctrlrun main

The kernel's own docs audit, every generator:

capabilities: 26 entries, 0 drifted copy(ies)
cli reference: docs/reference/cli.mdx matches
schemas: docs/reference/errors.mdx matches
api reference: 83 pages, 0 drifted
cookbook: 19 recipes, 0 drifted
readiness: 0 drifted
badges: 0 drifted

Whole docs suite green. main merged in, so this is not behind.

This unblocks the docs job on ctrlrun main, on #193 and #194, and on every v0.11 item after
them.
All of those are red on that one job and on nothing else.

Not merging.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Updated project status pages to reflect the current total of 6,080 tests.
    • Clarified roadmap details around receipt schema versions and retention policies.
    • Corrected the documented definition location for the banner API.
    • Documented optional task and hop parameters for approval checks, including their evaluation behavior.
  • Tests

    • Expanded documentation validation to verify readiness information remains synchronized with the test suite.

Pairs with ctrlrun#191, which builds two of SPEC-v0.10 §9.4's three rows.

`needs_approval` now takes `task=` and `hop=`, so its API page picks up the signature and the
paragraph saying what they are for. `banner.mdx` moves with it because the two share a source line
range. Readiness 6,070 to 6,080.

All seven generators, 19 recipes 0 drifted, 83 pages, claims re-pointed 0 unresolved 0, and the
kernel worktree came back clean after the cookbook write.
…y did

`render_readiness.py`'s docstring calls `--check` "what CI runs". CI did not run it. That is the
sentence one level up from the comment beside the audit step: a guard CI does not run is prose.

The count is the one figure on the site that is a **measurement** rather than a claim, and nothing
in CI re-took it. `test_the_readiness_block_is_the_generators_in_every_place_it_appears` compares
the embedded block against the stored `generated/readiness.json`, so the page and the state file
agreed with each other while both drifted away from the library. Today they are four apart: the
site says 6,066, ctrlrun `main` collects 6,070.

**It cannot flap between a paired kernel and docs merge**, which is why it is safe to add mid-stack.
The count is a floor: `--check` fails when the suite has *fewer* tests than the page claims and
passes when it has more, so a kernel PR that adds tests leaves docs `main` green until its docs pair
lands. Verified both ways against real checkouts -- docs `main` against kernel `main`: 0 drifted;
this branch against ctrlrun#191: 0 drifted.

`test_ci_runs_the_three_checks_and_the_drift_check` reads the workflow, so the list and the job
cannot disagree.
Found while writing v0.11's build prompts, which would otherwise have inherited both.

**The receipt schema count is wrong, for the second time.** The v0.11 line says a chain kept from
v0.6 holds four receipt schema versions and names `ctrlrun.receipt/v4` as the schema today. It holds
five, and the schema today is `v7`. The sentence already carried a note saying it had been corrected
once, for v0.7's bump; v0.10's hop field made it wrong again. Corrected, with the note now saying
that twice, because a count of versions in prose goes stale at every release and the argument for
reading `receipt.py`'s constants is stronger than the count.

**`docs/CONTROL-MAPPING.md` is cited in the present tense and does not exist.** The retention line
says it "maps receipt retention to a clause". Line 136 of the same file says it is written only when
a design partner asks, which is the truth. The retention debt is real and `docs/postgres.md` is the
citation for it, so that half stays and gains the reason the debt is hard: deleting receipts from
the middle or the end of the chain is detected as a break by design.

Worth separating, because a compliance clause that does not exist is the worst possible input to a
milestone's design. `docs/OWASP-AGENTIC-TOP10.md` opens by refusing exactly this shape of claim, and
a roadmap that quietly assumes one contradicts it.

Comment thread docs/ROADMAP.md

- **An external anchor for the receipt chain.** The chain detects alteration and says on every page that it does not detect truncation or append — both measured at two statements, undetected, because the head is a row in the same database. v0.11 anchors the head outside the database at an interval (an RFC 3161 timestamp, or an equivalent the operator supplies) so a suffix erased or appended between two anchors is detected and named, in the same vocabulary as the six existing break kinds. No keys of its own: it consumes a timestamp and issues nothing, which is why it is here and signing is not.
- **Retention and legal hold.** There is no retention policy today and `docs/postgres.md` says so, while `docs/CONTROL-MAPPING.md` maps receipt retention to a clause. v0.11 pays that debt: a chain-preserving prune that leaves a checkpoint receipt verifiable across the gap, and a hold that refuses to prune, both recorded as receipts themselves. **v0.9 adds a second growing table and states the invariant rather than the command**: the budget ledger only grows, and `SPEC-v0.9.md` §7.3 says that rows older than the longest window on any budget of a grant cannot affect a future decision, so somebody else's archiving is safe. One caveat travels with it, because the invariant is about decisions and not about evidence: an `AMBIGUOUS` effect older than that window still **holds** a charge the operator surfaces display, so an archiver on a live ledger excludes un-released rows. `ctrlrun stats` reports the row count so the growth is visible before it matters.

Correct the end-truncation claim.

The hash chain detects a middle deletion, but it does not detect end truncation without an external anchor. Line 378 says that v0.11 adds this anchor. Limit the current-behavior sentence to middle deletion, and describe end truncation as detectable only after anchoring.

- **Enforcement coverage.** From events already written: policy entries never exercised, gateway tools never routed, `@protect` actions never seen. The runtime half of `ctrlrun scan`, under the same rule — a clean result is not a verdict, no score, no percentage, no badge.
- **One chain, several receipt schemas.** `ctrlrun.receipt/v4` is the schema today, and the rule since `SPEC-v0.3.md` §12.2 is that every reader upgrades before any writer switches, so an older receipt on disk still parses. v0.8 (the verified approver; the grant id under break-glass) and v0.9 (budget consumption) each add fields and each bump the version, so a chain kept from v0.6 across them holds **four receipt schema versions**: `v3`, which 0.6 wrote, `v4`, which v0.7 added, and the two that follow. This sentence said *three shapes* and named `v3` as the schema today. It was written before v0.7's precondition fields bumped the schema, and v0.7's release pass corrects it here rather than quietly. And nothing yet proves that `verify` walks it end to end, hash by hash, each receipt hashed by the rule its own version wrote. v0.11 proves it, here, because this is the milestone about whether the record can be trusted after the fact. No new field: the version string already exists. What is new is the test, and the rule that a receipt whose version the binary does not know is *named* and not reported as a break — which is the same distinction v0.6 §3.2 draws for a `schema_version` row the binary does not know. Added 2026-09-10.

Update the stale schema-version count in the exit criterion.

This paragraph changes the chain count to five (v3 through v7), but Line 389 still says “four receipt schema versions.” Update Line 389 to five or remove the duplicated count. Otherwise, the roadmap publishes contradictory version evidence.
