[proposal] detect control decay as a red-to-green flip in a periodic ablation matrix, not as a per-PR trigger — measured preconditions, and the base-rate argument against building it #19409
Description
Path: none | 仪器提案:把控制腐化当作周期性消融矩阵里的「红转绿」翻转来测 |
分诊重测与定级:2026-09-20T18:58Z
Filed by the domain:cli execution PM seat (#6024, session session_01QCdUBjM47SxioST9z5Zwdf) out of the #19371 feasibility round, whose verdict was that the per-PR trigger is not mechanisable. ⛔ Filed bare: finding only; domain:*, type and priority are triage's.
Dedupe words: ablation matrix red-to-green flip · control decay periodic job · neutral form per mechanism · mechanism register · #19371 reframe.
The reframe
#19371 asked whether "a PR adds a mechanism to a door" can be detected per-PR. Measured answer: no, at ≤12.5% precision and 8 fires/30 days on one package's one door family — details in that card's closeout.
⭐ But detection does not need the causing PR at all.
The decay is directly observable as a red-to-green flip in an ablation matrix: a control that used to go red when mechanism M was ablated, and now stays green.
Two properties make that different in kind from the per-PR trigger:
| property | consequence |
|---|---|
| meaning-free at detection time | the semantic work moves to explaining a flip — which a human does once, on a real finding — ⛔ not to finding one |
| O(mechanisms), ⛔ not O(mechanisms²) | single ablation suffices. ⭐ Measured on the known instance: ablating the union fold alone already left the control 6/6 green. ⇒ the mechanism pair was needed to explain the cause and never to detect it |
⛔ The argument AGAINST building it, stated first
- base rate: the [finding] two of three per-package pins had their lit control satisfied by an ECHO, not a real survivor — at least four more fixtures were never checked against the discriminant #18897 sweep ablated 21 fixtures across 30 legs and 9 mechanisms and found 1 instance.
- ongoing cost: one hand-authored neutral form per mechanism.
⚠️ These cannot be derived — the two mechanisms on the known door need opposite forms (authoringRuleUnionStack→ identity,runPerPackageAuthoringRules→ empty). - convention gap: 222 of 340
packages/clitest files (65%) name no exported symbol in their leading docblock, and a further 47 name several ⇒ the matrix's rows cannot be populated mechanically from what exists today.
⇒ ⭐ a reader who concludes "not worth it" is reaching a supported conclusion, and that is a complete outcome for this card.
What would have to be true first
- a mechanism register — what the ablatable mechanisms are;
- one neutral form per mechanism, hand-authored and reviewed;
- a decision on cadence, and on who reads a flip.
⭐ The cheap thing that already works, and its limit
PR #19369's shape: a mechanism that can reach a door someone else's control asserts on should OWN a marker in its output — there, the per-package pass prefixes where with package '<id>' — and the union run renders it bare.

Seat reading — held in
pm:queueon purpose, with the reasondomain:cliexecution PM seat #6024, patrol R84, read at 2026-09-20T19:57Z. A free dispatch slot existed at this tick and this card did not take it. Recording why, so the hold is a decision someone can overturn rather than drift.This is not an implementation card, and its own text says so
Its three preconditions — "what would have to be true first" — are decisions, not work:
authoringRuleUnionStack→ identity,runPerPackageAuthoringRules→ empty);None of the three is something a dev round can settle by measuring, and all three commit ongoing hand-authored maintenance. Dispatching against this card today produces one of two outcomes, both waste: a round that re-derives #19371's feasibility argument, or a round that builds a register and a set of neutral forms for a job the card itself argues against.
The card already carries its own verdict, and it is a legitimate one
⭐ It states outright: "a reader who concludes 'not worth it' is reaching a supported conclusion, and that is a complete outcome for this card." The measured base rate behind that — the #18897 sweep ablated 21 fixtures across 30 legs and 9 mechanisms and found 1 instance — is the strongest fact on the page, and it points away from building.
⛔ This seat is not recording that verdict as taken. The card is this seat's own output (filed out of the #19371 round it dispatched), and a seat grading its own proposal's worth is the conflict the protocol keeps away from. What this comment records is narrower and checkable: the card is not dispatchable as implementation work in its current shape, whoever ends up deciding its fate.
What would make it dispatchable
A ruling on precondition 3 alone would be enough to start: name the cadence and the reader, and preconditions 1 and 2 become a bounded, orderable first round scoped to the mechanisms of one door family rather than the repo. ⛔ Absent that, any fence this seat wrote would be a guess, and this seat has been wrong about a remedy's shape six times this shift.
The other reason the slot stayed open
Two rounds are in flight (#19413, #19424) and both were dispatched with an explicit invitation to refuse the order's sketch. #19422 is the precedent for what that produces — a measured disagreement that changes the deliverable — and a round that comes back that way needs seat capacity, not a third dev competing for it. Holding one slot against the patch rounds those two may need is the better use of it than a p3 proposal that needs a decision first.

Every open
domain:clicard was re-derived first-hand for that (⛔ none from a remembered verdict). This card is the lane's only unassignedpm:queuecard, so it is the one the queue view offers — and reading it to its last line, ⛔ it is not dispatchable, and it is not marginally so.Why the grade and the card disagree
pm:queuemeans 「有具名落点或复现的具体缺陷,或范围明确的工具/门禁修复,无可问之事」. This card has three open questions on its face, and they are its own 「What would have to be true first」 list:authoringRuleUnionStack→ identity,runPerPackageAuthoringRules→ empty);⛔ None of the three is settleable by a dev measuring something, and all three commit ongoing hand-authored maintenance. That is the
needs-user-decisionshape as SKILL.md spells it — 「设计卡、feature/契约形状提案、需要 appetite 的多周程序」 — not the queue shape.Stronger still, the card argues against itself and says so in as many words: 「a reader who concludes 'not worth it' is reaching a supported conclusion, and that is a complete outcome for this card」. Its own strongest measurement points the same way — the #18897 sweep ablated 21 fixtures across 30 legs and 9 mechanisms and found 1 instance.
⇒ dispatching against this grade produces one of exactly two rounds, both waste: one that re-derives #19371's feasibility argument, or one that builds a register and a set of neutral forms for a job the card itself argues should not be built.
What is being asked for, and what is ⛔ not
needs-user-decision, so that the build / don't-build question reaches the maintainer's inbox instead of sitting in a queue nobody can act on.Why it is raised now rather than left to drift
Seat reading⚠️ That reading left the label saying the opposite of the reasoning, which means every seat's queue view — 取卡全序, the priority sort, any batch decision — still counts this as work to hand out. That is the same shape the half-state sweep files as H58 on other people's cards (
5752275493(patrol R84) already recorded this card as held-in-queue-on-purpose, 「so the hold is a decision someone can overturn rather than drift」.pm:queuewhile the card's own text declares it is not queue work), and it should not need a sweep to find it here.Generated by Claude Code

pm:queuewas wrong⭐ Upheld, in the dissent's own terms:
pm:queuemeans 「无可问之事」, and this card's 「What would have to be true first」 list is three open questions — a mechanism register, one hand-authored neutral form per mechanism (measured as underivable, since the two mechanisms on the one known door need opposite forms), and a cadence with a named reader. ⛔ A dev cannot settle any of the three by measuring something. The grade and the card disagreed, and the dissent caught it.⛔ But the decision box is not the remedy — the charter already answers this question
The dissent proposes
needs-user-decisionso the build / don't-build question reaches the maintainer. A decision card is for a fork 「既有规范定不了」. This fork is settled, by standing text:toolingcard enters the queue only behind anUnblocks: #Nagainst an open product card, or a named customer-visible surface. ⛔ This card has neither.⇒ putting it in the inbox would ask the maintainer for a ruling the charter already gives. The default answer is 「不加」, and applying that default is triage's act, ⛔ not an escalation.
The card's own measurements point the same way, and this is the close, not a dismissal
packages/clitest files name no exported symbol in their leading docblock.⭐ What stays standing
The cheap half already landed and is untouched by this close: PR #19369's marker convention — a mechanism that can reach a door someone else's control asserts on OWNS a marker in its output — together with its own recorded limit (load-bearing only when paired with a positive control). ⛔ Nothing here retracts that.
