C 369 close

C-369 Cycle Close — Constitutional Clarification + EVE Sharding¶

Status: CLOSED — DISPUTED (canon on main; stacked Substrate branches + live earnMIC runtime pending reconciliation)
Cycle: C-369
Closed: 2026-07-11
Depends on: C-368 close (verified)
Independent audit: C-369-ATLAS-AUDIT-SEAL.md
Hands off to: Main integration of stacked Substrate PRs + C-370 runtime reconciliation (or reopen C-369)

Authority Provenance¶

Authority declared using docs/templates/EPICON_FOUNDER_STANDING.md v0.1

• Actor: ATLAS / Cursor Agent (on behalf of kaizencycle)
• Authority Source: Cycle close — merged PR witness + contract test evidence + external audit seal
• Scope Limitation: docs/epicon/cycles/C-369/ close record only
• Expiration: 2026-10-11T00:00:00Z

1. Summary¶

C-369 separated learning evidence (MFS) from stewardship recognition (MIC) and attested perception (GI) in doctrine and operator surfaces. Canon (#373), terminal perception/grade paths (#595–#596), browser-shell copy (#95, #96), and EVE terminal quorum (#594) reached main. Substrate schema (#372) and eve-shard-core (#370) merged to stacked branches only — not yet on main. No new MIC minting logic was added in C-369, but existing earnMIC / computeMICReward paths remain live and contradict same-day canon until reconciled.

2. Deliverables — merge target honesty¶

On main (verified)¶

Pending main integration (merged to stacked branches — not on main)¶

Required before claiming schema/compiler complete on main: merge PR #378 (cursor/c369-stacked-main-integration-0e02), which consolidates recovery branches cursor/c369-mfs-fountain-schemas-0e02 (A2 fixtures restored) and cursor/c369-eve-shard-core-0e02 (B2 tests/config restored) derived from the stacked merge targets above.

Prior (pre-C-369 window)¶

3. Acceptance criteria¶

Canon (on main)¶

Terminal / browser (on main)¶

Runtime non-goals vs live contradiction¶

4. Declared remaining gaps (not hidden)¶

1. Live earnMIC runtime (material) — computeMICReward in mobius-browser-shell (src/lib/oaa/mic.ts) is actively invoked on course/quiz completion from OAASeminarFeed.tsx and LearningProgressTracker.tsx, calling earnMIC() in WalletContext.tsx with a hardcoded score-to-MIC formula (≥0.8 → 5 MIC, bonuses up to +5). This is not dormant legacy code; it is a live user-facing loop that contradicts the MIC doctrine canonized the same day ("MIC is not earned through arithmetic accumulation"). Reconcile via feature flag, removal of wiring, or C-370 EPICON.
2. Stacked Substrate branches — #372 merged into cursor/c369-mfs-fountain-canon-0e02; #370 into cursor/c369-eve-shard-protocol-0e02. Main integration is PR #378 (cursor/c369-stacked-main-integration-0e02). Agents must not treat these contracts as shipped until #378 merges.
3. MFS issuance — no production MFS mint path in C-369 (deferred).
4. Canonical KV manifests — terminal assembles GI/Fountain when federation KV keys absent.

5. Test evidence (terminal — on main)¶

✓ gi perception manifest contract checks passed
✓ integrity grade proposal contract checks passed
✓ fountain state inference + GI95 sustain contract checks passed
✓ All 25 contract tests passed

6. EPICON close block¶

epicon_id: EPICON_C-369_CORE_mfs-fountain-integrity-perception-close_v1
ledger_id: kaizencycle
scope: docs
mode: normal
issued_at: 2026-07-11T23:30:00Z
expires_at: 2026-10-09T23:30:00Z
justification:
  VALUES INVOKED: integrity, stewardship, transparency, anti-capture, intergenerational continuity
  REASONING: C-369 canon and terminal/browser operator surfaces reached main. Stacked Substrate
    schema/compiler PRs (#372, #370) remain off main. Live earnMIC runtime contradicts same-day
    doctrine. Close is DISPUTED pending main integration and runtime reconciliation per ATLAS audit.
  ANCHORS:
    - docs/epicon/cycles/C-369/C-369-ATLAS-AUDIT-SEAL.md
    - docs/epicon/cycles/C-369/MFS-FOUNTAIN-HANDOFF.md
    - Mobius-Substrate PR #373 (main)
    - mobius-civic-ai-terminal PRs #594–#596 (main)
  BOUNDARIES: Close record only. Does not authorize MIC minting, MFS transfer, or claiming schemas on main before merge.
  COUNTERFACTUAL: If stacked branches are not on main or earnMIC remains live without EPICON, upgrade from DISPUTED only after reconciliation.
counterfactuals:
  - Merge PR #378 (cursor/c369-stacked-main-integration-0e02) to bring A2/B2 onto main
  - Open C-370 for earnMIC / computeMICReward reconciliation if not fixed in C-369
  - Re-run terminal contract tests after GI/Fountain assembly changes

7. Handoff forward¶

Preserve: Canon → Ledger → UI. MEC must never replace EPICON.

Compact form: MFS proves capability. EPICON preserves intent. GI reflects perception. The Fountain tests durability. MIC recognizes stewardship. Reserve Blocks preserve memory.

Kaizen: small steps, continuous improvements, follow the process. We heal as we walk.
