CAROL-INI-3894-00: An initiative's actual cost is an ESTIMATE presented as a measurement: one derivation, from the ledger that records spend
MEASURED, not suspected. Across the Orion bypass execution book, 1,633 costed runs carry only FOUR distinct values: 0.56 (x1431), 0.10 (x116), 0.03 (x50), 0.20 (x36). Those are ex\u2026

CAROL-INI-3893-00: The lane switch has been dead for ten days: restore the module the CLI overwrote, and make the forced-tool guard reachable
Found while starting 3891. On 2026-08-06 at 02:00 the lane switch's command-line wrapper was copied OVER the shared module it imports. The module now imports itself: readiness, pr\u2026

CAROL-INI-3890-00: The Carolverse gateway drawn in the house style, and the painted original given the world page
Ninad (CLI-272): the Carolopedia landing hero is a dark photoreal painting, while everything around it - the Carol and Orion portraits, the Carolverse Map, and the world-in-words\u2026
Orion · 2026-08-18 18:54
CAROL-INI-3882-00: Carol's mandatory commit tool does not fire, so her own gate refuses the answer she just wrote
Found while proving CAROL-INI-3873 (b) on a live turn, and PRE-EXISTING: the same probe refuses identically on the pre-change code, so this is not caused by the engine convergence\u2026

CAROL-INI-3753-00: PERMANENT TEST FIXTURE: regression probes attach their live-book rows here, never to a real initiative
CAROL-INI-3752: a regression probe that must exercise the REAL bypass_start/bypass_end (proving they write the book correctly) attaches to THIS initiative by pinned id, so its exe\u2026

CAROL-INI-3888-00: A Carolopedia page that is not a registry row can be neither searched nor linked
Ninad (CLI-272) reported two symptoms: searching 'oratorium' in Carolopedia returns No matches, and the two Oratorium blogs in Orion's Logbook carry no link to the Oratorium page.\u2026
Orion · 2026-08-18 18:54
CAROL-INI-3856-00: System Services service reusability refactor: instantiable for any project
Refactor the System Services service (system-services) toward the instantiation seam of the standing ruling (design #557, policy P.01.03.07.08) so it can be re-used by any client\u2026

CAROL-INI-3887-00: Carolopedia landing: move the hero banner to the foot of the page
Ninad (CLI-272): the landing hero image (the building blocks of the Carolverse banner) currently opens the Carolopedia landing page above the Carol/Orion pair. Move it to the END\u2026

CAROL-INI-3883-00: Rich chat phase 6: an agent's memory is the PERSON's, not the environment's - one person key across channels, services and projects, separate scrolls and one memory
Ninad ruling, 2026-08-16 (CLI-268), given when CAROL-INI-3868 slice (b) hit it head-on: "Agent's memory is user specific, period. If the same user appears on internal chat and ext\u2026

CAROL-INI-3868-00: Rich chat phase 4: files in and out, inline charts, and a working canvas the agent edits across turns
Ninad (2026-08-15) rich-chat arc, phase 4. (a) Files out: a listing answer offers a CSV/PDF download composed server-side. (b) Files in: drop a document on the chat; it is stored\u2026
