Flagged by the developer: the iteration still described the pre-brainstorm
three-mode design behind a "superseded in part" banner while four tasks had
landed against it.
- iteration 2 rewritten around the shape as built: two keys
(`durable: true|false`, `resident: all|keys`), not a `mode:` enum with
`cold`. status refine -> in-progress
- added a task-by-task progress table with commit hashes, and split the
acceptance criteria into MET (each with how it was verified, not just that
it passed — e.g. the goldens-unchanged claim is `git diff` over golden/
being empty after a WOC_BLESS run, since blessing rewrites all of them) and
OUTSTANDING with the task that owns each
- kept the history rather than deleting it: the three-mode replacement, the
"one real rewrite" that was fiction, and the opposite half that turned out
genuinely deep. An iteration file is where that record belongs
- board row rewritten to agree; the track index's "the lever" section, its
principle-7 paragraph and its sequence rationale all still taught the dead
three-mode design
ITERATION 6 IS NOW LARGELY SUPERSEDED, and bannered as such rather than
quietly gutted. `resident: keys` is the ceiling-raiser and it lives in
iteration 2 (tasks 5c/5d). More than relocated: 6's premise — a user-space
resident working set with faulting and 5's eviction policy — was specifically
REJECTED by the spec in favour of the kernel page cache, since a pread against
a cached page is a memcpy. What may still be left is recorded honestly: revisit
only with a measurement showing the page cache insufficient. Its fork list
survives, especially "does the language surface the fault cost at the use
site", which is still open and still the largest question about what writeonce
is. The sequence rationale is amended too — it had 6 as the ceiling-raiser and
5 as a prerequisite on the critical path; neither holds.
