ClaimEvent, AppendClaimInput and ClaimVersion gain optional presence-gated validFrom/validUntil (contract item 1, half-open [validFrom, validUntil), schema v1, conditional-spread serialization so windowless lines stay byte-identical). New truth/validity.ts mirrors the search/validity.ts parse discipline (bare dates day-snapped, datetimes, relative phrases rejected) and pins claimWindow plus the half-open windowsIntersect rule. appendClaimEvent and coerceClaim validate present bounds and empty/inverted windows by name; unknown line keys stay ignored so old binaries degrade new lines to the assertion-time axis. collision.ts and grounding.ts gain the contract's assertion-keyed axis comment; the visibility census sweeps the new exported surfaces.
Two same-slot claims with present, non-intersecting validity windows classify as ClaimSuccession entries and never as conflicts (contract item 1); intersecting windows or any windowless claim keeps the assertion-time contest rule verbatim, and an expired window never suppresses contestation on its own. New truth/succession.ts pins the pair rule and the per-slot classification (predecessor ordered by window end); conflicts.ts excludes succession-separated version pairs and spreads successions onto the state only when non-empty, so TruthConflictKind, ask_user semantics, hygiene findings and priority ranking are untouched and windowless output stays bit-identical. readTruthState validates the channel when present and reads null on a corrupt one so the caller refolds.
operation "events" slices the ledger by normalized entity and an assertion-time since/until window resolved through the shared time-bounds wrapper, pages at DEFAULT_EVENT_LIST_LIMIT under the CLAIM_EVENT_MAX_LIST_LIMIT cap, and gates every row through the same owner/reach view brain_claims asks, counting dropped rows in withheld. The slots and conflicts responses stay untouched, so the events count pin there keeps its meaning. selectClaimEvents is refactored onto the shared matchClaimEvents filter and claimEventLimit validator so the MCP and CLI surfaces validate the page size in one place.
appendClaimEvent resolves each bound the caller left open from the source record's frontmatter valid_from/valid_until when the source is readable at ingest, storing the resolved value verbatim on the event; explicit input wins outright and resolution is per bound. The source resolves as a wikilink body or vault-relative path (tried as given, then with a .md suffix), stays inside the vault, and a traversal or symlink escape reads as unreadable. An unreadable or windowless source stores a windowless event byte-identical to today's output, a malformed source bound resolves as absent so it can never refuse an ingest, and mtime is never consulted (an assertion-time proxy is not validity). resolveIngestWindow in validity.ts is the pure resolver; the append boundary still validates the final window by name.
o2b brain truth events prints the same body as the MCP events operation - both surfaces answer through one shared claimEventsReport, so shape, ascending-ts ordering, gating and paging cannot drift - and refuses unparseable or inverted bounds through the shared time-bounds wrapper as the INVALID_PARAMS-equivalent exit-2 usage error. o2b brain truth ingest accepts --valid-from/--valid-until, passing the window through to the store's strict validation; absent flags leave every line byte-identical.
…pool Task 18 (truth-correctable-time-aware): the retired-row branch consumes couplingVerdict - a page carrying a superseded_by pointer that survived the status filter is served only beside its resolved, readable chain-tip correction and is dropped fail-closed otherwise. Chain tips resolve over the index's typed superseded_by edges bounded by the lifecycle chain cap; a pulled-in correction enters as a link-type row carrying a share of its predecessor's score, provenance-stamped correction_for:. Pulled content re-runs the caller's full filter set through applyPoolFilters - the one pipeline the visibility census pins as applyVisibilityScope's single call site - closing the recorded gap where polarity-pulled successors bypassed visibility scope and agent scope. With no pull-in only the reach re-filter runs, exactly as before, so a pool with neither pull-in nor retired row is byte-identical; tombstoned rows stay dropped by the status filter before the predicate runs. The typed-relations fixtures (unit and brain_search) declared superseded_by pointers to pages that do not exist; under the fail-closed coupling those rows drop, so each fixture now writes its successor page, keeping the tests' subject - inline relation surfacing - intact.
correctionEndState (contract item 2) decides how a corrected predecessor retires: flatlyWrong tombstones with a null validUntil, every other correction closes validity at the explicit windowEnd when time-scoped, else at the correction instant. Pure, deterministic, no I/O; validUntil passes through verbatim and the ledger append boundary owns window validation by name. Receipt reason codes stay name-aligned (supersede for validity_close, tombstone for tombstone); succession and path provenance consume the outcome through ledger/frontmatter data only.
…ng and a deadline
operation "state" grounds agent-stated claims through lane 1's appendStatedClaims core: the payload boundary refuses whole (unknown relation, missing text, missing source) before any write, anchoring verdicts are per claim against canonical-scope registry entities, and grounded claims commit as agent_stated ledger events while ungrounded ones are reported back with machine reason codes. The CLI gains the matching o2b brain truth state subcommand printing the same verdict, and both surfaces share the statedClaimEntities registry slice.
appendStatedClaims (task 4) bridges stated claims
{ subject, relation, object } with their assertion text into ledger
events: entity is the normalized subject, aspect the relation token
validated against the single relation vocabulary, value the object
display form, extractor agent_stated. The payload boundary refuses
whole calls (unknown relation, missing text, missing source) with
nothing written; the anchoring verdict is per claim through the
anchorEntityForms kernel lifted from atomic-facts.ts (quality-gated
normalized match forms, minimum length 3, registry aliases extending
a named entity's pool), and ungrounded claims are reported back with
machine reason codes. ClaimEvent/AppendClaimInput gain the
presence-gated extractor tag (strict on write, tolerant on read,
serialized after source so windowless lines stay byte-identical);
conflict detection is untouched - the tag is annotation only. The
visibility census sweeps surfaces stating claims.
The MCP ingest operation declares the optional valid_from/valid_until fields (explicit input wins outright over source resolution, absent fields stay byte-identical), and the checkpoint pins the wave's temporal invariants end to end: a windowed events call over events ingested with resolved windows returns rows carrying the frozen windows, and the succession channel and the events surface read the same axis rule off the same events - succession where windows do not intersect, the pinned conflicts response carrying none of it.
…ng surface Task 19 (truth-correctable-time-aware): recall by topic, the context pack, the active.md digest and the dream scan now resolve a pointer-bearing record's chain over the shared lifecycle lookup and ask couplingVerdict - a serveable-retired record is served only beside its resolved, readable chain-tip correction and is dropped fail-closed when a hop dangles, cycles or stops at the depth cap, so a withheld correction takes its predecessor with it. The resolve-to-verdict mapping lives once in the predicate module as chainVerdict; each surface folds its own readability composition into the chain lookup (the caller's view, the digest's readable predicate, the pack's visibility, the scan's operator reach). Records with no pointer are not in the predicate's regime and keep today's behavior on every surface; tombstoned records stay dropped by the existing status wiring before any coupling question arises, and non-historical context-pack injection still serves chain tips only.
…m behind their flag
…ceipts Task 16 (truth-correctable-time-aware): correct() sweeps one record's correction end to end. Discovery gathers the affected set within the caller's reach - the claim-graph closure over whatReplaced/whatContests, a match-only wikilink mention scan through retargetWikilinks with apply: false (the counting pass asserts no vault identity), and the same-entity/aspect truth-ledger claims, each row reach-gated by its source record. The dry run - the DEFAULT - writes nothing and returns that blast-radius report. The applied run retires the target through correctionEndState (contract item 2): flatlyWrong tombstones via the shared tombstone writer, every other correction closes validity at the window end or the correction instant, leaving the record serveable inside its historical window. Ledger correction events assert the corrected value under the corrected record's own source - same-source value change reads as self-correction in the fold, never a conflict - each opening its window at the correction instant, appended before the retirement write so the append's open-bound resolution never reads the window being closed. Mentions retarget with retargetWikilinks' per-write failure carry; the log and receipt lines are testimony and never rewritten. Per-record receipts carry correction_bundle:<bundleId> in evidence_triggers with the name-aligned reason codes (supersede / tombstone). Replay converges: no double retirement, closed windows stay closed, the ledger is not re-appended, receipts report appended: false. A target outside the caller's reach is refused as missing before anything is written.
…t verb Task 17 (truth-correctable-time-aware): brain_lifecycle gains the correct action and o2b brain lifecycle correct the matching subcommand, both exposing the sweep with dry_run DEFAULTING TO true, a flatly_wrong flag, an optional window_end, and reach-gated targets - a target the caller may not read is refused as missing before anything is written, and every discovered row stays inside the same reach. Receipt reason codes stay the existing vocabulary, name-aligned with the verb and action (supersede for validity_close, tombstone for tombstone). The agent-scope-matrix equality gains the correct recipe under the existing writerEcho classification: the probe drives the tool's dry run against the shared fixture and the withheld assertion holds because the discovery is reach-gated. The recipe count moves 233 to 234, the tool count is unchanged, and the surface-error pin carries the new action name in the unknown-operation message.
…a direct-hit ceiling
…ction search The relational arm's deepened traversal was reachable only through its own defaults: the call site used the three-argument form, so the composite recall deadline and the transport reach never reached the arm; the Store lacked the entity-bridges delegation, keeping the bridge flag inert; and the arm's reach-gated paths stopped short of the retrieval trail. All three wirings land here, each pinned by an extended test, byte-identical with the arm disabled. Also formats two test files an earlier commit left unformatted and tightens two non-null assertions the linter names.
Composes the temporal ledger (sub-suite A) with the serving-surface coupling (sub-suite B): a validity-closed predecessor stays serveable with its correction event carrying the window start, is dropped fail-closed the moment its chain-tip correction becomes unreadable, a flatly-wrong correction tombstones it out of every surface, and the corrected slot folds as a same-source self-correction in the succession channel rather than a conflict.
The brain_truth unknown-operation message pin gains the events and state operations it now names; the tool description comes back under its registry cap while keeping the operation inventory; the write-site census counts the correction sweep's frontmatter retirement (110 -> 111 shared rows, 107 -> 108 unstamped); and the reach test mints its directory through the tracked temp helper so nothing outlives the run.
…file reachServer points the process-level config default at the fixture's directory and nothing cleared it, so a later test file in the same process resolved the removed path on its first default-config write and rebuilt the tree as a temp leftover the hygiene guard reported. An afterAll at the helper's module scope clears the pointer when the importing file finishes.
…ing its file" This reverts commit d3edfba.
…exist The extensionless-spelling resolution answered with the .md twin even when neither candidate existed, and accepted a directory as the bare candidate: a convention like Notes/<slug>-applied in a log payload became a missing page and dropped every remote row carrying it, and the Brain/inbox directory resolved as a page, hiding the inbox-archivable doctor finding remotely. A candidate now must be a regular file inside the vault; a spelling naming no page resolves to nothing and keeps today's visibility. The withheld-vs-absent events gate stays closed: an existing page's extensionless spelling still resolves and gates.
…fix resolution and cover the directory candidate The landed no-page test passed verbatim on the pre-fix code: its fixture let both spellings stay visible under the old and the new resolution, so it proved nothing about the fix. The fixture now hides the missing .md twin as well, so the pre-fix verdict inheritance fails the pin, and a sibling pins that a directory is never a page candidate. Both fail on 2935d48 and pass on the fix.
…enance counts Security F4 (post-round): two new surfaces published count-without-content signals that the vault's identical-to-absent convention forbids on read surfaces. brain_truth events returned total over the pre-gate matched set plus a withheld count, so a remote caller could pivot the difference by entity and assertion window and measure the hidden claim population - finer than anything brain_claims exposes, whose own rebuild count is filtered for exactly this reason; the ordered provenance trail and the relational reason string published the exact number of path nodes the caller's gates dropped. docs/cli-reference states the released promise the counts broke: no result count on a read surface says how many rows were withheld, and the views' docblocks (owner-scope-view, artifact-ref-view - the very views events composes) state the same convention. The gates themselves are unchanged: events still gates every row through the same owner/reach view, and the relational arm still omits unreadable and out-of-scope nodes from the ordered path per node (reach plus owner scope). Only the counters are gone: the events account covers just the rows that passed the gate (total is the gated count; no withheld key), the reason string renders the walk shape only, and the trail entries carry the readable document ids alone. A filtered answer is byte identical to the answer over a vault that never held the withheld rows, pinned vault-against-vault at remote reach; the provenance pins now assert the absence of a withheld count beside the never-named pins from the reach and owner-scope fixes.
The bare extensionless source candidate was gated on existsSync, so a DIRECTORY at the bare spelling was accepted as the source record: its frontmatter read came back empty, the window resolution returned null, and the candidate loop never reached the .md twin beside it - the extensionless spelling went windowless while the twin page carried a window, drifting from the regular-file rule artifact-ref-view's isVaultFile applies on the read side. The candidate now requires statSync().isFile() (unreadable skipped like a missing file), and a pin resolves the twin past a directory at the bare path.
A non-numeric --limit reached the shared limit guard as NaN, and the guard's refusal stringified that NaN - so the usage error told the operator the limit was 'got null' instead of the value they typed. The CLI verb now validates the flag is finite before the guard's message is composed and refuses naming the raw flag value.
The state verb mapped only StatedClaimsRefusal to the usage failure class; a ClaimWindowRefusal - raised when the stated claim's window resolves from the source record's frontmatter and inverts there - escaped as an operational failure (exit 1) while the sibling ingest case answers the same refusal at exit 2. Both refusal channels now map to the usage error path, and a pin runs a state call over a source page carrying an inverted frontmatter window.
The brain_truth state operation mapped only StatedClaimsRefusal; a ClaimWindowRefusal - raised when the stated claim's window resolves from the source record's frontmatter and inverts there - escaped the handler as an internal error, contradicting the INVALID_PARAMS discipline the sibling ingest operation applies to the same typed refusal. Both refusal channels now map to the typed invalid-params failure, and a pin drives the refusal through the raw JSON-RPC surface.
A successor like '|||' normalizes to the empty id, which flowed into the superseded_by pointer and the mention retarget as a malformed '[[]]' on an applied sweep. The sweep now normalizes the successor at the input boundary, beside the value refusal it mirrors, and refuses an empty-after-normalization successor with CorrectionError before anything is written - dry and applied. Pinned for both runs, the applied one asserting no byte and no ledger event landed.
A --flatly-wrong --value replay over a record a previous sweep had already validity-closed flipped the end-state policy to tombstone, so the record did not read as already-retired; the ledger correction then resolved its open until-bound from the record's own frontmatter - the close the previous sweep wrote - and the store raised an unmapped ClaimWindowRefusal mid-replay, an internal-class error on the MCP surface. The sweep now maps that refusal at the append boundary to its named CorrectionError, reporting the replay as converged: the message names the record and the close that blocks it, and nothing is written. The pin drives the full replay sequence and asserts the strict refusal leaves window, status, pointer and ledger untouched.
The validity-close replay ask, the fresh validity-close ask and the per-slot receipt asks all called the decision-change writer unguarded, so one accountability-log hiccup aborted an applied sweep whose retirement and ledger events had already landed - while the tombstone pre-receipt in the same file was already fail-soft. askReceipt now carries that same discipline: a failed ask is reported as appended: false, never fatal, and the pin drives an applied validity-close sweep over a receipt store that cannot be appended to, asserting the retirement, retargeting and ledger event all land.
The lifecycle verb accepts correct, but its BRAIN_HELP summary line and VERB_HELP usage block still advertised only tombstone|supersede|temporal-replace|tip|curator - the one action a reader could run but not discover. Both lines now list correct, with the usage block spelling its flags and the dry-run default in the file's existing style.
Non-finite since/until bounds reached new Date(NaN).toISOString() inside eventsWindowBounds and died as an unnamed 'Invalid time value' RangeError that said nothing about which argument was at fault. The boundary now refuses a non-finite bound up front, in the same named style the limit validation uses, naming the offending argument - and spells the value with String rather than JSON.stringify, which renders a NaN as the 'null' the limit refusal was derailed by. Pinned through both eventsWindowBounds and the selectClaimEvents composition.
… input doc The re-ask rationale above applyPostRankPhases was a JSDoc block, so it read as that function's contract while actually describing the applyPoolFilters call inside it; it is now a // comment at that call site, beside the pull-in branch it explains. CouplingInput.predecessorPath gains the note that it is caller context - consumed by callers for the receipts and records they write, never by the predicate - so the unused verdict input reads as deliberate rather than dead.

Review comments at @src/core/brain/dream-scan.ts:
- Around line 217-222: Remove the serving-only superseded-chain filter from
collectRetired so unresolved, cyclic, or depth-capped chains do not exclude
retired records from dream planning. Remove the chain-resolution imports and
lookup plumbing used only by that filter, and update the collectRetired call to
match its revised signature; leave serving-surface coupling unchanged.
Review comments at @src/core/brain/lifecycle/correction.ts:
- Around line 358-364: Update target-event matching in the correction sweep to
compare each event’s full vault-relative source path from sourceRel with
targetRel, allowing the existing extensionless form where needed. Use that same
full-path predicate in the claims filter so basename matches from other pages
cannot bypass claimWithinReach or be selected for correction.
Review comments at @src/core/brain/truth/validity.ts:
- Line 44: Update the bare-date handling in the validity parser around the
edge-based return so an “until” date resolves to the start of that day,
preserving the ledger’s half-open [validFrom, validUntil) semantics. Keep “from”
dates unchanged so adjacent bare-date windows do not overlap.
Review comments at @src/core/search/pipeline/relational-arm.ts:
- Around line 154-156: Update machineConfigData and the runRelationalArm flow so
relational-arm defaults use the caller’s resolved configuration: pass
ctx.configPath through RelationalArmOptions to discoverConfig, or resolve the
needed settings at the caller and pass them to runRelationalArm.
Review comments at @tests/core/search/relational-path.test.ts:
- Around line 174-176: Await every asynchronous Store.close() call so

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 2 included reviews per hour; 1 remain after this review.
The sweep folded a claim event into the target's own events by basename without extension, so a same-named page in another folder counted as the target: in the claims filter that branch bypassed claimWithinReach, letting a withheld page's claims into the blast radius, and on apply its source could stand in for the target's own in the appended ledger correction events. Target-event matching now compares the source's full vault-relative path (extension-bearing or extensionless form) against the resolved target, and the reach gate answers every other same-slot claim as before.
A bare-date validUntil snapped to the end of its day, an inclusive upper bound that contradicted the ledger's half-open [validFrom, validUntil) contract: adjacent bare-date windows (until 2026-09-01, from 2026-09-01) intersected for a day, so a hand-written hand-over classified as a value conflict instead of a succession, and a same-day empty window was accepted by the append boundary. A bare date now resolves to its day start on both edges - the exclusive-until convention lifecycle/temporal-replace.ts already evaluates frontmatter windows by - and the parser carries no per-edge snapping anymore.
machineConfigData re-read the default config path, so a search call resolved against a non-default config file (MCP ctx.configPath) had its traversal budgets and entity-bridge flag answered by whatever the default file held, and an env-only resolution still consulted a file it had deliberately not opened. The resolved search config now carries the path its resolution read, the arm takes it through RelationalArmOptions, and it resolves its knobs from that file - or from no file at all when the caller consulted none.
Store.close is async and releases the writer lock in an awaited finally, so the fire-and-forget closes left the lock release racing the next indexVault call and any close rejection unobserved; every close in the suite is awaited now.
bootstrapBrain without a configPath resolves the machine-level config, whose answer on a shared test process depends on which other files ran before this one: the windows shard rebalance left this file in a shard where nothing had registered one, and both its tests failed on the missing-config refusal. The fixture now writes the config into its own vault and passes it explicitly.
The suite this wave grew past what twenty minutes holds on a slow runner: the job died at its bound mid-suite after the local reruns of the two slow files passed in under a second. The bound stays a hang guard, just a wider one.
…ilters The arm's absent-reach default was TRANSPORT_REACH.local while the same search call's row filters resolve an absent reach to remote through resolvedTransportReach, so a library caller passing no reach got provenance path ids and the supersededBy tip name for pages the row-level gate withholds. The arm now resolves its reach through the same resolution; an explicitly passed reach still travels verbatim.
A chain-tip correction that is itself a retired row the pool never carried (its own pointer postdates the index, or its chain is otherwise unresolved) was appended bare as the predecessor's correction: a row whose own verdict was drop re-entered in the stage's stale/blocked-edge scenario. The appended correction now resolves its own chain and asks the same couplingVerdict rungs; when its own verdict drops, the drop counts as unresolved for the predecessor too, which the fail-closed branch already handles - neither row is served bare. Both questions are one rule over a different start row, so they share chainTipVerdict.
…'s inclusive end closedSupersessionTip tested closedness as a half-open [valid_from, valid_until) interval - closed at the end instant itself - while the shared frontmatter grammar it parses with (src/core/search/validity.ts) documents and computes an inclusive end: a bare valid_until date spans its whole final day. The boundary instant itself is now still inside the window; closed means strictly past the end. The convention is stated in the closedness comment and pinned by a boundary-instant test.
The config-file re-read and the budget/bridge resolution ran before the non-relational-query and no-seed early returns, so every rrf search paid a disk read and a malformed TRAVERSAL or ENTITY_BRIDGES value failed searches the knobs cannot affect. The resolution now runs once the arm knows it will walk; a relational query with resolved seeds resolves the same knobs as before.
The refusal wrapped parseBool's message, and parseBool was handed the env key even when the machine-config key won the precedence race, so a bad config value was refused in the env key's name. The key in force is resolved once and passed through to the parser and the wrapper alike.
…ulary SUPERSEDED_BY_RELATION hardcoded "superseded_by" against relation-vocab.ts's single-boundary rule; the token is now exported there (DEFAULT_RELATION_TYPES references the same constant, so the string is spelled once) and the post-rank chain walk imports it. No behavior change.

Summary
Open Second Brain keeps its claim ledger in time and correctable. A claim can carry a per-claim validity window, and with no explicit window at ingest each open bound is resolved from the source frontmatter and frozen onto the event, so the ledger stays self-contained. Two same-slot claims with disjoint windows stand in a succession channel instead of contesting, and an agent's stated claims commit only when subject and object anchor in their assertion text. The
brain_truthsurface recalls the ledger over an assertion-time slice through the windowedeventsoperation besidestate, each with its CLI verb. One correct verb discovers a correction's blast radius and retires what it touches: validity-close by default, a tombstone for a claim that was flatly wrong, mention retargeting bounded by the caller's reach, bundle-correlated receipts, and a dry run by default. Every serving surface then applies one fail-closed rule: a retired-but-serveable record is served only beside its resolved, readable chain-tip correction, and drops otherwise. The deep relational recall arm runs under width budgets with hub skipping, walks entity co-occurrence bridges, reports path provenance gated at the caller's reach, and never lets a traversal-only row outrank what the lanes matched.The correction flow

src/core/brain/truth/): optional half-open validity windows on claim events, presence-gated under the existing schema version so windowless lines serialize byte-identically (validity.ts); the succession channel as a separate optional state field, never a conflict kind, so ask-user semantics and conflict priority are structurally unreachable from it (succession.ts); the pure correction end-state policy, validity-close or tombstone (correction-policy.ts); grounded stated claims with per-claim anchoring verdicts and theagent_statedextractor tag, annotation only (stated-claims.ts).brain_truthevents and state, CLI truth verbs: theeventsoperation recalls rows oversince/until/entity/limitwith every row passing the caller's reach gate and paging under a hard cap; thestateoperation commits grounded stated claims, refusing a whole payload before the first write and reporting ungrounded claims back with reason codes;o2b brain truth ingest,eventsandstatemirror the operations, with--valid-from/--valid-untilon ingest.brain_lifecyclecorrect, CLI verb: the dry run, the default, discovers the blast radius within the caller's reach - the claim-graph closure over replaced and contesting records, a vault-wide wikilink mention scan and same-slot ledger claims, each row reach-gated by its source record.--applyretires each target through the end-state policy, appends correction events under the corrected record's own source so a same-source value change reads as self-correction, retargets mentions with per-write failures carried and never rewrites testimony, and issues bundle-correlated receipts. Replay converges: an already-applied correction is a no-op.src/core/search/correction-coupling.ts) consumed by the search pool after ranking, recall by topic, context packs, theBrain/active.mddigest and the dream scan. A pulled-in correction re-runs the caller's full filter set, so a successor the caller could not read on its own does not enter through the correction door, and a dangling, cyclic or self-answering chain walk counts as unresolved, dropping the row. Pools with neither a pull-in nor a retired row stay byte-identical.chunk_entities, labelledentityand never part of the query edge-type vocabulary; per-node path provenance in the retrieval trail, gated at the caller's reach so the trail names only pages the caller can read; structural precedence that admits relational-only rows below the organic tail, so the traversal widens the pool without outranking what the lanes matched.docs/architecture.mdstates the serve-with-correction rule and the agent-scope matrix recipe row; plugin mirrors regenerated. Version 1.77.0 across all manifests, CHANGELOG entry in this PR.Verification
