+== Code of Conduct
+
+=== Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in
+Squisher Corpus a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of
+age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex
+characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
+education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance,
+race, caste, colour, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open,
+welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+We recognise that a thriving open source community requires
+*psychological safety* — an environment where people can contribute, ask
+questions, make mistakes, and learn without fear of ridicule or
+retaliation.
+
+'''''
+
+=== Our Standards
+
+==== Expected Behaviour
+
+The following behaviours contribute to a positive environment:
+
+*Communication* - Using welcoming and inclusive language - Being
+respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences - Giving and
+gracefully accepting constructive feedback - Assuming good intent while
+addressing impact - Communicating clearly and patiently, especially with
+newcomers
+
+*Collaboration* - Focusing on what is best for the community - Showing
+empathy and kindness toward other community members - Being
+collaborative rather than competitive - Mentoring and supporting less
+experienced contributors - Celebrating others’ contributions and
+successes
+
+*Professionalism* - Accepting responsibility and apologising to those
+affected by our mistakes - Learning from the experience and avoiding
+repetition - Respecting others’ time and attention - Staying on topic in
+project spaces - Following project guidelines and conventions
+
+*Accessibility* - Using plain language and avoiding unnecessary jargon -
+Providing alt text for images and transcripts for audio/video - Being
+patient with those using assistive technologies - Accommodating
+different communication styles and needs - Recognising that not everyone
+communicates the same way
+
+==== Unacceptable Behaviour
+
+The following behaviours are considered harassment and are unacceptable:
+
+*Harassment* - The use of sexualised language or imagery, and sexual
+attention or advances of any kind - Trolling, insulting or derogatory
+comments, and personal or political attacks - Public or private
+harassment - Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following (online or
+in-person) - Unwelcome physical contact or simulated physical contact
+(e.g., emoji) - Sustained disruption of talks, events, or online
+discussions
+
+*Discrimination* - Discriminatory jokes and language - Posting or
+threatening to post others’ personally identifying information
+("`doxing`") - Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above
+behaviour - Microaggressions — subtle, often unintentional,
+discriminatory comments or actions
+
+*Professional Misconduct* - Publishing others’ private information
+without explicit permission - Misrepresenting affiliation or
+contributions - Plagiarism or claiming credit for others’ work -
+Retaliating against anyone who reports a Code of Conduct violation -
+Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+professional setting
+
+==== Grey Areas
+
+Some situations require judgement. When uncertain:
+
+* *Intent vs Impact*: Good intentions do not excuse harmful impact.
+Focus on making things right.
+* *Power Dynamics*: Those with more power (maintainers, employers,
+experienced contributors) must be especially mindful of their impact.
+* *Cultural Differences*: What’s acceptable varies by culture. When in
+doubt, err on the side of caution and ask.
+* *Humour*: Jokes at others’ expense are rarely funny to everyone. Punch
+up, not down.
+
+'''''
+
+=== Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, including:
+
+*Online Spaces* - Repository discussions, issues, and pull/merge
+requests - Project chat channels (Matrix, Discord, Slack, IRC) - Mailing
+lists and forums - Social media when representing the project - Video
+calls and virtual meetings
+
+*In-Person Spaces* - Conferences, meetups, and events - Workshops and
+training sessions - Any gathering where you represent the project
+
+*Representation* This Code of Conduct also applies when an individual is
+officially representing the community in public spaces. Examples

+== PROOF-NEEDS.md
+
+=== Current State
+
+* *LOC*: ~237 Rust (host) + ~100 AffineScript (`+.affine+`, not
+compilable).
+* *Existing proofs*: *first corpus landed (2026-06-04)* —
+`+verification/proofs/Lattice/Order.idr+` (Idris2 0.8.0,
+`+%default total+`, zero proof escapes), CI-gated by
+`+.github/workflows/proof-corpus.yml+`. It proves the _abstract_ order
+theory, *not yet* bound to the Rust graph (see below). Before this there
+were zero proofs. The 2026-05-26 estate tech-debt audit recorded "`Proof
+debt: none / Recommended next move: none`" — that verdict is *wrong* for
+a project whose headline noun is _lattice_. A lattice is a mathematical
+claim with discharge obligations; asserting it without proof is exactly
+the kind of overstatement this file exists to retire.
+* *Status*: the structure git-reticulator builds today is a _typed,
+weighted digraph_ with a hierarchical containment sub-relation — *not*
+(yet) a lattice, not even a partial order (TOPOLOGY.md itself mentions
+detecting _circular_ dependencies, i.e. cycles, which a partial order
+forbids).
+
+____
+The point of this document is to make the gap between the noun
+("`lattice`") and the artifact (a digraph) explicit, and to list
+precisely what must be proved to close it. Until then, prose should say
+"`typed graph`" / "`DAG`".
+____
+
+=== Recommended Prover
+
+* *Idris2* — to match the estate’s existing formal-methods spine
+(`+vcl-ut+` ships a machine-checked Idris2 corpus, `+%default total+`,
+zero proof-escape). Reusing it means shared CI
+(`+proof-corpus.yml+`-style gate) and shared reviewer muscle. Lean4 or
+Coq would also serve; Idris2 is the path of least estate friction. The
+order-theory here is elementary; the value is in _connecting the proofs
+to the running code_, not in their depth.
+
+=== Proof status (by category) — 2026-06-04
+
+Honest categorisation. *Proved* = mechanically checked
+(Idris2/Coq/SPARK). *Tested* = executable checks + unit tests in the
+Rust reference core (`+src/lattice/mod.rs+`) — a rung _below_ proof.
+git-reticulator has *zero mechanized proofs*; what exists is tested.
+
+==== Done (mechanized — first corpus, 2026-06-04)
+
+* *Abstract order theory* (`+verification/proofs/Lattice/Order.idr+`,
+Idris2 0.8.0, `+%default total+`, zero proof escapes; CI-gated by
+`+proof-corpus.yml+`): the partial-order laws are witnessed
+(`+natOrder+`: reflexive + transitive + antisymmetric) and *antisymmetry
+⇒ no 2-cycle* (`+noTwoCycle+`) is proved — the order-theoretic heart of
+why the SCC condensation is a DAG (*P2a*). *Scope honesty:* proved on an
+_abstract_ `+PartialOrder+`, *not yet* on the actual Rust graph in
+`+src/lattice/mod.rs+`; binding the two is the ADR-006 Idris2 ABI seam.
+
+==== Done (tested, not proved)
+
+* *P2a* SCC condensation is acyclic — `+Condensation::is_acyclic+` (Kahn
+topological sort, a genuine runtime check, not a trust assertion) +
+tests (the 3-node call cycle collapses to one component; condensation is
+a DAG).
+* *P4* LOD `+zoom+` soundness + completeness — tested on fixtures (defs
+in other files excluded; every descendant returned).
+* *P1b (fragment)* `+meet+` = lowest common ancestor — tested
+(idempotent, commutative, LCA correct).
+* *P1a (fragment)* reflexivity of ≤ — tested.
+
+==== Not attempted
+
+* *P1* full lattice laws (associativity/absorption; *join*).
+* *P3* monotone abstraction (commit-DAG → lattice) — also: git-history
+ingest isn’t wired (`+src/ingest.rs+` is filesystem-only).
+* *P5* determinism/confluence. *P6* drift-predicate totality.
+* *P7* pgRouting≡lattice — now *N/A* (verisim is the store, not
+pgRouting).
+* In the _mechanized-proof_ sense, *all of P1–P7 are unattempted* (zero
+`+.idr+`).
+
+==== Sorries / `+believe_me+` / proof escapes
+
+* *Zero — but vacuously.* There are no proofs, so there are no escape
+hatches. This is *not* vcl-ut’s "`zero `+believe_me+` in a real corpus`"
+achievement; it is zero-because-empty. Recorded so it is never mistaken
+for rigour we lack.
+
+==== Structural blockers
+
+* Idris2 prover *now wired* (`+verification/proofs/+` +
+`+proof-corpus.yml+`, idris2 0.8.0); first module verified. Remaining:
+bind the proofs to the Rust graph and discharge the rest of P1–P7.
+* The verifiable core is migrating to AffineScript (ADR-006), itself
+alpha with the CORE-01 soundness gap.
+* The Rust/SPARK Idris2/Zig ABI seam is *N/A until git-reticulator
+exposes an FFI surface* (it’s a CLI/REST app today) — see
+`+docs/decisions/rust-spark-stance.adoc+`.
+
+==== False (claims that would be untrue — and are correctly avoided)
+
+* "`git-reticulator builds a **lattice**`" (full lattice) is *false*:
+arbitrary sibling nodes have no unique join. The code is honest — it
+implements `+meet+` only and names the structure a *meet-semilattice* +
+typed digraph. The true, scoped claim is evidenced by test; the false
+strong claim is not made.
+
+==== What it means / how much to worry
+
+* *Low worry* for an early, non-safety-critical research tool. The
+property that matters — and holds — is that *nothing is overclaimed*:
+code and docs say "`tested not proved`", "`meet-semilattice not
+lattice`", "`zero proofs`". That honesty _is_ the estate bar (the
+doc-truthing / SPARK-theatre culture is about not faking verification).
+The residual risk is correctness-confidence (a zoom/meet edge case could
+ship), not safety. The path up is cheap and known: P2→P1→P4 in Idris2,
+or largely for free from the AffineScript core’s type discipline
+post-migration.
+
+=== What Needs Proving
+
+==== P1 — It is actually a lattice (or: rename it) — *HIGH*
+
+The relation `+≤+` derived from the structure must be shown to be a
+lattice: - *P1a* `+≤+` is a partial order: reflexive, antisymmetric,
+transitive. - *P1b* For every pair of nodes a *meet* (greatest lower
+bound) and a *join* (least upper bound) exist and are unique. - *P1c*
+The lattice laws hold: idempotence, commutativity, associativity of
+`+∧+`/`+∨+`, and absorption.
+
+If P1b cannot be met for the real structure (likely — sibling nodes
+generally have no unique join), then *honesty demands one of*: -
+downgrade the claim to *meet-semilattice* (containment hierarchy with a
+top), or - rename to "`semantic **graph**`" and drop "`lattice`" from
+the API/docs.
+
+==== P2 — Cycles must be quotiented before any order claim — *HIGH*
+
+The dependency graph has cycles. A partial order has none. The standard
+fix: - *P2a* Compute the *strongly-connected-component condensation*;
+prove the condensation is acyclic (a DAG). - *P2b* Prove the order
+induced on the condensation is well-defined (independent of SCC member
+choice). Only on the condensation does P1 even get a chance.
+
+==== P3 — Faithful abstraction of git history (monotonicity) — *HIGH*
+
+The commit DAG → lattice mapping must not invent or lose ordering: -
+*P3a* _Soundness_: if the lattice orders `+a ≤ b+`, then `+a+`’s git
+origin is an ancestor of (or contained by) `+b+`’s — no spurious
+orderings. - *P3b* _Completeness_: ancestry present in the commit DAG is
+reflected. - Together: the construction is a *monotone
+(order-preserving) map* from the commit DAG to the lattice.
+
+==== P4 — LOD `+zoom_to_node+` is sound AND complete — *HIGH (the RAG trust anchor)*
+
+This is the property that makes retrieval trustworthy — the bridge
+between the symbolic guarantee and the neural/LLM consumer. - *P4a*
+_Soundness_: every node returned by `+zoom_to_node(n, L)+` is a genuine
+descendant of `+n+` at level `+L+` — no spurious context. - *P4b*
+_Completeness_: every such descendant is returned — no silently dropped
+context. - Formally: `+zoom(n, L) = { m | m ≤ n ∧ level(m) = L }+`,
+exactly. Get this wrong and the LLM is fed context that is incomplete
+(missing the relevant bit) or padded (wasting the token budget the
+feature exists to save).
+
+==== P5 — Construction is deterministic / confluent — *MEDIUM*
+
+* Building the lattice twice from the same repo state yields the same
+lattice (up to node identity). Without this, caching is unsound and any
+downstream proof is meaningless because the object it refers to is
+unstable.
+
+==== P6 — Neuro-symbolic consistency invariant — *MEDIUM (the novel target)*
+
+The genuinely new obligation, and the one that matters for the
+neuro-symbolic claim (see `+.machine_readable/6a2/NEUROSYM.a2ml+`): - Do
+*not* prove "`embedding proximity ⇒ lattice proximity`" (false in
+general). - *Do* prove the _drift predicate_ is well-defined and
+decidable: given a threshold,
+`+drift(a,b) := cosine(emb a, emb b) high ∧ lattice-distance(a,b) high+`
+is a total, computable signal. This is what lets verisim’s drift
+detector treat neuro-symbolic disagreement as an observable event rather
+than a silent inconsistency.
+
+==== P7 — `+pgRouting+` reachability matches lattice reachability — *LOW*
+
+* The Dijkstra/A* paths used for blast-radius (PB-4) range over the same
+edge relation the lattice is built from — prove the stored
+`+cost+`/`+weight+` topology is a faithful image of the in-memory
+`+Relationship+` set, so "`reachable in the DB`" ⇔ "`reachable in the
+lattice`".
+
+=== Priority
+
+*MEDIUM-HIGH.* git-reticulator is early and stubbed, so this is not
+blocking a shipping product. But it is _cheap, high-signal_ work: P1+P2
+together either earn the central noun or correctly retire it, and P4 is
+the precondition for the proof-carrying-retrieval story that makes the
+whole neuro-symbolic stack worth building. Do P2 → P1 → P4 first; the
+rest can follow the implementation.
+
+=== Cross-references
+
+* `+.machine_readable/6a2/NEUROSYM.a2ml+` — where these proofs pay off
+(proof-carrying retrieval).
+* `+hyperpolymath/vcl-ut+` `+PROOF-NEEDS.md+` + `+verification/proofs/+`
+— the estate template for "`PROOF-NEEDS + Idris2 corpus +
+VERIFICATION-STANCE`" done well.
+* `+TEST-NEEDS.md+` — the testing counterpart (currently smoke-level
+over stubs).

-- Together: the construction is a **monotone (order-preserving) map** from the
- commit DAG to the lattice.
-
-### P4 — LOD `zoom_to_node` is sound AND complete — **HIGH (the RAG trust anchor)**
-This is the property that makes retrieval trustworthy — the bridge between the
-symbolic guarantee and the neural/LLM consumer.
-- **P4a** *Soundness*: every node returned by `zoom_to_node(n, L)` is a genuine
- descendant of `n` at level `L` — no spurious context.
-- **P4b** *Completeness*: every such descendant is returned — no silently
- dropped context.
-- Formally: `zoom(n, L) = { m | m ≤ n ∧ level(m) = L }`, exactly.
- Get this wrong and the LLM is fed context that is incomplete (missing the
- relevant bit) or padded (wasting the token budget the feature exists to save).
-
-### P5 — Construction is deterministic / confluent — **MEDIUM**
-- Building the lattice twice from the same repo state yields the same lattice
- (up to node identity). Without this, caching is unsound and any downstream
- proof is meaningless because the object it refers to is unstable.
-
-### P6 — Neuro-symbolic consistency invariant — **MEDIUM (the novel target)**
-The genuinely new obligation, and the one that matters for the neuro-symbolic
-claim (see `.machine_readable/6a2/NEUROSYM.a2ml`):
-- Do **not** prove "embedding proximity ⇒ lattice proximity" (false in general).
-- **Do** prove the *drift predicate* is well-defined and decidable: given a
- threshold, `drift(a,b) := cosine(emb a, emb b) high ∧ lattice-distance(a,b) high`
- is a total, computable signal. This is what lets verisim's drift detector
- treat neuro-symbolic disagreement as an observable event rather than a
- silent inconsistency.
-
-### P7 — `pgRouting` reachability matches lattice reachability — **LOW**
-- The Dijkstra/A* paths used for blast-radius (PB-4) range over the same edge
- relation the lattice is built from — prove the stored `cost`/`weight`
- topology is a faithful image of the in-memory `Relationship` set, so
- "reachable in the DB" ⇔ "reachable in the lattice".
-
-## Priority
-
-**MEDIUM-HIGH.** git-reticulator is early and stubbed, so this is not blocking
-a shipping product. But it is *cheap, high-signal* work: P1+P2 together either
-earn the central noun or correctly retire it, and P4 is the precondition for
-the proof-carrying-retrieval story that makes the whole neuro-symbolic stack
-worth building. Do P2 → P1 → P4 first; the rest can follow the implementation.
-
-## Cross-references
