ARCHITECTURE §6: the cycle is broken, and the rule is a test - #38
Conversation
§6 recorded `state -> receipt -> policy -> authority -> state` on 2026-09-12 and deferred the fix as a named item before v1.0. v0.12 breaks it at `receipt -> policy`, by moving `Decision` and `POLICY_UNAPPROVED` into `decision.py`, which imports nothing from the package. No public name moves: `policy.py` re-exports both, so SPEC-v0.1 §8's frozen `__init__` block is unchanged. The roadmap called this a public-surface question; with a re-export it is not one. The section now also separates the two graphs it kept conflating. The import-order graph is module-level imports and is what runs at `import ctrlrun`; the layering graph counts deferred imports and is what the table describes. The recorded cycle is invisible to the first. Writing that guard found a second cycle nobody had recorded, `jwt_identity <-> revocation`, and one that cannot be removed by relocation, `policy <-> authority`, which is named in the test rather than left to a reader.

Add decision.py to the module map.
The text introduces decision.py as an architectural layer, but the module table does not list it. Add its owned names and dependency constraints so readers can derive its position in the module graph.

State which graph the test makes acyclic.
This paragraph says the test asserts that “the graph is acyclic”, but the layering graph has a deliberate recorded cycle. State that the import-order graph must be acyclic and that the layering graph may contain only RECORDED_LAYERING_CYCLES. Otherwise, the documented test contract is ambiguous.

Pairs with ctrlrun#. §6 recorded the cycle on 2026-09-12 and deferred the fix as a named item before v1.0. It is fixed at the
receipt -> policyedge, with no public name moved, and the section now separates the import-order graph from the layering graph, which is the distinction that let the cycle read as harmless for five milestones.Do not merge before
