Graduation sweep from the triage-friction-log workflow.

Issue references below are intentionally non-closing. #70-#77 all stay open — this
PR files and archives them, it does not implement any of them. (Dogfooding the rule
that #71 exists to mechanise.)

What this does

Thirteen un-graduated entries in docs/kit-friction-log.md (7 under ## 2026-07-27,
6 under ## 2026-07-26, both below the graduation marker) were triaged into eight
issues, #70-#77. Four of the eight each merge two entries recorded on separate
days, because the repeat is the evidence — splitting them would lose the occurrence
count that made them issue-shaped:

issue entries occurrences
#70 1 mutation harness restores outside finally
#71 2 closing-keyword trap — three across two sessions
#72 1 bot review stale across a rewrite
#73 2 archive sweep's relative cross-references — two
#74 2 doc-budget remedy no-op — three, two in this repo
#75 2 review lens's wrong-ref worktree — nine of nine
#76 1 --record-review partial coverage
#77 1 cockpit mutates the tree a panel is reviewing

The thirteenth entry carried "No change proposed" — the panel-disjointness
measurement, archived as a second data point for the argument in
fallback-review-panel.md, which currently rests on one.

docs/kit-friction-log.md goes 190 -> 50 lines, back under its 150 budget.

On the sweep's safety

The sweep was narrowed by a frozen-inbox snapshot taken at draft time, so an entry
added between drafting and finalizing could not be archived unfiled. Nothing was added
during the window — all three top-level blocks byte-matched the snapshot, so the sweep
was total.

Caveats for review

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the friction log with a concise migration summary for late July 2026.
    • Added archived records covering incidents, proposed adjustments, resolutions, and related issue references.
    • Documented the migration of twelve entries into eight tracked issues, along with one “No change proposed” entry.
    • Preserved detailed historical entries in the archive while keeping the active backlog easier to review.

Thirteen un-graduated entries triaged: twelve graduated into eight issues,
one recorded a measurement with "No change proposed".

Four of the eight each merge two entries recorded on separate days, because
the repeat is the evidence: the closing-keyword trap (three occurrences),
the archive sweep's relative cross-references (two), the doc-budget remedy
no-op (three), and the review lens's wrong-ref worktree (nine of nine).

Sweep was narrowed by a frozen-inbox snapshot taken at draft time, so an
entry added mid-session could not be archived unfiled. Nothing was added
during the window: all three blocks byte-matched the snapshot.

docs/kit-friction-log.md: 190 -> 50 lines, back under its 150 budget.

Review gate: deliberately waived for this PR

Recording this so the trail carries it rather than losing it.

CodeRabbit never reviewed this diff. Its first comment on this PR was "Review
limit reached — you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start the review"
.
A manual @coderabbitai review returned "Review finished" with the incremental-review
note, which is an acknowledgement, not a review.

Note the false green: the CodeRabbit status check reports SUCCESS on this PR
regardless. That is the exact surface dev-model.yaml warns about for #23, and the
ambiguity #45 is filed for. Anyone reading the check rollup would conclude this PR was
reviewed. It was not.

pr_watch behaved correctly throughout — it refuses to converge with
independent review evidence is missing for current head.

What was decided

The operator reviewed the situation and waived the independent-review requirement for
this specific PR, on the grounds that the diff is docs-only (two markdown files, no
code, no engine changes). This is an explicit exception to Principle #5, not an
oversight, and not a claim that the bot outage constitutes a waiver in general.

No review receipt was recorded. --record-review would flip mergeable to true and
permit an autonomous merge of an unreviewed PR, so the receipt was deliberately left
unset. This PR stays non-mergeable to the automation and requires an explicit human
merge.

What was verified, mechanically

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the sweep provenance in both summaries.

The PR objectives state that the workflow engine was unavailable and that the migration used the sanctioned LLM-only process plus manual finalization. Update both documents to record that process instead of claiming the triage-friction-log workflow performed the sweep.

  • docs/kit-friction-log-archive.md#L8-L8: replace the workflow attribution in the archive summary.
  • docs/kit-friction-log.md#L16-L18: replace the same attribution in the active summary.

post-merge-systemize said never commit reports/; triage-friction-log said
git-track it. .gitignore matched neither -- it ignored state/ but not
reports/ -- so the first rule was unenforced and left a permanently
untracked reports/ in every git status. Observed during the #78 sweep.

Resolved toward ignored: the report is derived (after a sweep lands every
proposal is a tracker issue and every source entry is verbatim in the
archive), it grows one file per run with no doc_budgets tripwire, and
state/ is already ignored on identical logic.

- .gitignore: add reports/
- init.sh: add_ignore_line "reports/" so adopters get it too
- triage-friction-log.md: amend the Step 6 contract and the DM template's
  "also pushed in next branch" line to match post-merge-systemize

Independent review was deliberately waived by the operator; CodeRabbit was
rate limited while its status check reported pass -- the second instance
today of the false-green surface warned about in dev-model.yaml for #23.
No review receipt was recorded. CI covered shell syntax, the init.sh mode
bit, manifest sync, and the full pytest suite.
topij added a commit that referenced this pull request Jul 27, 2026
Session shipped #78 (13 un-graduated entries -> 8 issues, friction log
190 -> 50 lines) and #80 (gitignore reports/, settling the contradiction
filed as #79).

Five friction entries, two at H. First: make test runs the full 372-test
suite in 22s and nothing in the repo points at it, which is how a false
"tests were not run locally" claim reached a merged PR body. Second: the
wrap-up branch pattern collides on a same-date session, and gh pr create
then opened #81 against the stale remote branch -- a diff that would have
reverted both of the day's merges. #81 closed unmerged; the stale branch
left intact because its commits are not ancestors of main.

Also the Makefile comment describing a pre-push test gate that does not
exist, the triage skill defaulting to a draft PR that CodeRabbit skips,
and two more instances of a rate-limited CodeRabbit reporting pass.

Archive sweep ran at --keep 4 (403 -> 319 lines, one block moved). The
default --keep 6 no-opped on 5 blocks -- a fourth occurrence of #74.

Independent review waived under the operator's existing docs-only scope;
no review receipt recorded.
