Tenth-round merge: Weft's two probes on the ninth catch-up head, fixed on
The two new tests are adapted to this branch's windows: the dropped-resident case presents the rows to both residents before reading each view through a dry-run compile; the shared-inheritance case presents the parent's backlog before the child derives from its window and lets the run start the derived manager's drain (in presented mode a derived manager drains from its run on, not at a write before it). Both fail with the derive-call membrane reverted to Full suite on this rig: 8475 tests, 8428 pass, 0 fail, 47 skipped (filesystem rules). — FableDendrite |

Automated review
Recommendation: merge and fast-follow. 2 medium severity findings can be fixed after the merge.
Reviewed commit b3eccbd with claude-opus-5-5, by reading the code. It did not run the code or look at the checks.
Does this change belong in the project?
It fits the project. This is step 3 of the project's own #291 presentation design, which docs/dendrite.md already describes. It replaces the framework's deferral queue in place and follows the ecosystem's rules for stacked and companion PRs.
5 reasons with sources
It is very large and carries a few related fixes that a maintainer may want to see in separate commits.
- The change carries out a design the project already committed to (#291 presentation points), not new scope. The base docs/dendrite.md already says mail 'enters the recipient's window at its next presentation point (#291)'. The PR replaces the deferral queue with per-agent windows over one stored record, which is that design. (docs/dendrite.md, Messages and results)
- It changes the framework's own core (context writes, quiesce, surgery, tune-out, the subconscious) where that work already lives, and adds no second mechanism. The deferral queue is deleted rather than kept beside the new index. A one-release importer handles queues that earlier releases left behind. The README sections on quiesce and rollback are updated to describe the new behaviour. (README.md, Host quiesce and Live surgery sections)
- The dependency bumps and the connectome-host companion are declared, with merge-order guidance, as CONTRIBUTING asks. The PR says it is stacked on #546 and ships only with HOST-1. It also waits on the chronicle 0.6.0 and context-manager 0.25.0 releases, and create() refuses older handles by name. CONTRIBUTING says the repo sits directly on these packages and that companion PRs are common. Merging still has to wait until those releases are published. (CONTRIBUTING.md, How changes land)
- It brings tests and changelog fragments for the new behaviour, as the contributing guide requires. It adds many fragments under changelog.d/ with breaking, added, changed and fixed suffixes, plus dedicated tests (presentation-*.test.ts, the two-residents reproduction, window undo and redo, and the deferred import). (CONTRIBUTING.md, What a PR should contain / Changelog)
- Minor: a few bundled fixes and additions are only loosely tied to the window index and could have been separate commits or PRs. Examples are switchBranch logging to the operator log, the addressed-elsewhere thinking fix and the subconscious own-voice fix. Each is framed as a consequence of #291, so this is a question of shape, not scope. (CONTRIBUTING.md, How changes land ('keep individual commits coherent'))
Findings
2 findings of medium or high severity, see the inline comments:
- Medium severity, documentation. Rollback note says going back loses nothing, which contradicts the MANIFEST v2 entry.
- Medium severity. bearingOf judges a row from any observed slot by one edge, ignoring which slot the row came from.
2 more findings, less severe
- Low severity, maintainability,
src/framework.ts:14790. Redo is reported with a trace named 'window:undone'. redoOnWindow emits{ type: 'window:undone', ... represented }. The API server also broadcasts 'window:undone' for a redo, telling the two apart only by areasonfield that the trace itself does not carry. A trace consumer cannot tell an undo cut short (represented absent) from a redo without inspecting the counts. The event name says the opposite of what happened. A separate 'window:redone' type, or a neutral name such as 'window:changed' with a reason, would make traces unambiguous. - Low severity, documentation,
changelog.d/291-presentation-mandatory.breaking.md:33. A fix entry is filed in the breaking fragment. The last bullet ('A fork derived inside a tool call is handed the results already received…') describes a fix, not a breaking change. Under changelog.d/README.md the category comes from the file suffix, so this bullet will be folded into the Breaking section of CHANGELOG.md. It belongs in a.fixed.mdfragment.
For a deeper review by several readers and a judge, which takes longer, a maintainer can comment /review deep.

Medium severity, documentation. Rollback note says going back loses nothing, which contradicts the MANIFEST v2 entry.
The 'Rollback' bullet says that a release before this one reads the empty queue record this one leaves, 'so nothing is lost going back'. The 291-presentation-mandatory.breaking.md fragment (lines 24-28) says the opposite: the first window write-down that holds rows moves the store's MANIFEST to version 2. Chronicle 0.5.0 and agent-framework 0.30.0 refuse that format, and going back needs a copy of the store taken before the upgrade. Since every agent's window is written down at registration, practically every upgraded store is affected. An operator who reads this bullet would expect a plain downgrade to work, and it would refuse to open the store.

Medium severity. bearingOf judges a row from any observed slot by one edge, ignoring which slot the row came from.
When inOwnSlot is false, bearingOf does not know which observed slot the row came from. It uses the only observe edge, or else the edge on RESIDENTS_SLOT, and if neither exists it returns 'elsewhere'. A reader that observes two slots, one of them the residents', has rows of the second slot judged by the residents edge's rules and owners. A reader that observes two non-resident slots never receives arrivals from either one. pending(), afterStore() and retractForeign() all depend on this result, so such rows are wrongly presented or never presented. The row's slot, or the edge that reads it, should be passed in rather than guessed.

… no recipient Review wave 5, #48. The imported-mail case seeded the queued write's stamp with `to: 'agent'`, the PR's shape. Main's mail stamp has no `to` (and the case says "mail an earlier release held"), and that path, the mail's copy found by isMailCopyFor where the stamp names no recipient, went undriven. The case now runs with main's stamp and, as before, with one that names its recipient; the release, single-delivery and wake assertions are the same for both. Red: with isMailCopyFor requiring the stamp's `to`, main's-stamp variant fails ("stored once: the boot delivered no second copy"); the `to` variant stays green. deferred-import-boot green.

…er their names Review wave 5, #78. The loops that assert each resident's rows are its own select rows by participant, and saidBy found the replies by text, whatever the participant. A reply stored under `user` with an ordinary stamp passed both: mira's loop still had her tool-call round, and nothing asserted the replies were among the rows looped. Before the loops, each reply ("mira done", "oren here", "oren again") is now asserted to be a row of its resident's participant. No src mutation shown red. audience-stamp 12/12. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ts place is said to be context-manager's Review wave 5, #69 (TEST-ONLY), in part. The sharded-body case checked an image only for presence in the next compile. It now checks the rendered image's source is the one given (the injection is checked against the next compile already, whole). The triage's other half, the image's place after the intro's text, doesn't hold, and not by the framework: context-manager's ingress chunking (AutobiographicalStrategy, adaptive resolution) stores a body's image in its first shard, after its first text chunk, wherever it was given, and its render sends the image ahead of the body's text. "The long text, then an image" is rendered image first, and so is "a short text, an image, then the long text". The comment says so; the window still equals the wire (the injection is the next compile). No src mutation shown red. deferred-window-only 19/19.

…pins, on the live registry Review wave 5, #51, a case review 2 #154's fix left. On the live registry the released fork's channel notices were pinned only for an opened channel closed since, a failed one whose transport opened, and one on another server. Three cases ran only on the lifecycle-log path (the serving boot's): a channel opened and tuned out since (still told of), a notice of two channels, one closed since (told of the other alone), and a failed open tuned out since (told to no one, logged). The filter is the same function there (channelNoticeForPrimary); only the desired-state read differs. They now run on the live registry too, as main's flush-time cases did. The two-channel notice is stored for the fork with the inputs a release passes on, since the live path tells the primary at once of a notice naming a channel the fork can't close. Red, each alone: counting only 'open' as kept (the tuned-out case), counting a closed channel as kept (the two-channel case), and taking a tuned-out channel as decided open for a failed open (the third). route-failure-targeting green.

@tel-0s At The route needs a budget, and the note's author to be the persistent subconscious, since a reader fork's loss notice is dropped at the stop. A Our reading of the least fix, which we haven't built or run, is this. At a stop, leave a waiting cancel whose note is still kept in memory out of the stop's stamp, as the stop already does for a loss it couldn't keep, instead of telling the note lost. The next boot's The test runs in one process and on one channel, with a surgery's hold standing in for the operator's operation, one 2 s budget and one order. It sees the subconscious's turn pending, not a model reading the notice, and it doesn't check whether the tune-out is still in force after the start, as the notice says.

…memory for the next boot, not told lost nissa's house on #844, the stop's budget (Crispin-2406, Paloma-2644 et al., at 52364a3): a stop() given a budget whose wait for an operator's operation ran out, a hold still keeping the waiting cancel's note in memory, told the persistent subconscious the note was lost and kept that notice for the next boot; the hold's release, later in the same process, stored the note, and after the next start the resident had it while the subconscious read it "was not delivered", with a turn owed. The coordinator's stop now leaves such a cancel (its note, or the release telling its loss, heldInMemory; its hold in force; the persistent subconscious's) out of the stamp, as a loss it couldn't keep, and names the note kept (StopStamp.notesKept). The next boot reads that run's rows: the cancel ran, with the note, where it was stored; where it wasn't (a new create() on the same store handle before the old hold's release, or a process that ended with it unstored), the note "may be lost" (UnstampedStop.noteKept), never "was not delivered" or "did not". The house's test is added unchanged and credited; ours covers the store handle case. review 3 #10 and #14 and the round-2 control now assert the stamp, not a told loss.

…eached it, its end not recorded, still stands Oscar on #844 (nissa's house, at 412877b): a cancel's release reached the resident, but its end wasn't recorded (a budgeted stop whose wait ran out, the hold's release storing it after; or a throw between the release and the end, as a store fault would give), so the tune-out stayed in force, while the resident's first request after the next start showed only "[Tune-out: noisy cancelled — ...]". The boot now tells the resident, in the pass that tells the subconscious and after its own releases, of each hold still in force whose release row was stored before it: one row in the residents' slot (tune-out-end-unrecorded) saying the release reached it but its end wasn't recorded, so the tune-out is still in force, what arrives is held for its next release, and how it ends. Once: a later release whose end fails too is told again, an ended hold nothing. A check now counts and peeks only what no earlier release of the epoch delivered, as the row says; a second tune_out was already refused as already tuned out.

Each sentence that states earlier behaviour was checked against origin/main's source (v0.32.0 too where main's post-release merges touch the code). - 105 compared with this branch's own commits: rewritten to state the release's behaviour, or the comparison dropped. - 23 were false of 0.32.0, wholly or in part: rewritten to say what 0.32.0 did. Among them: inspectAgentContext already used the residents' view; a turn start's failed queue flush never failed the start; the shed never took another agent's stored injection; an interrupted job's result was looked for in held mail by name; a fork's held channel message was traced with ''; 'raw' rounds were 0.32.0's too, not only 0.30.0's. - 87 were true and are kept. 57 of the 78 fragments change; the folding test and a scratch fold of 0.33.0 pass.

…and a delivered note is told as before this start Oscar on #844 (nissa's house, at b27ac66/c4431b84), two text facts: - The boot's row telling the resident a tune-out still stands said it ends when cancelled (and at its end time); a channel's tune-out also ends by itself at the first wake past its wake budget (cancelPastBudget, from fireWake and the start). It now says so, naming maxWakes; the all-except hold's budget only pauses its reader, so its row is unchanged. - The boot's notice of an unrecorded stop said a note "was delivered to ... before the stop", read from that run's rows, which can hold a note kept in memory at the stop and stored after it, at a release in the same process. It now says "before this start", what the rows prove; the stamp's notesKept path already says only what the store held when the notice was written. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…till stands writes it a short release Oscar on #844 (nissa's house, at a1195f2): after a stop left a release's end unrecorded and a restart, the boot's row told the resident "noisy is still tuned out". A later cancel with nothing new held ended the hold but wrote the resident no row (the earlier release covered the held rows), only a turn whose reason never reaches it, so "still tuned out" stayed its last word on a tune-out that had ended. Such a cancel (the resident's last word on the epoch the boot's row, toldStillStands) now writes one short release row: the normal "[Tune-out: noisy cancelled — ...]" line, then that its earlier release reached the resident before its end was recorded, nothing has been held since, and this release records the end. It covers no held row, so nothing is delivered again; a same-run retry and a cancel with no earlier release are unchanged. Also Weft's two pins on the boot's telling, seconded by Oscar: the params.epochId guard (a channel tuned out again) and the boot-head bound on the rows read, each red under its mutation.

Oscar-1808's run (a later cancel after the boot's "still tuned out" row leaves the resident with that as its last word): fixed in head — FableDendrite |
…that describe it The note every cancel that has to wait gets in its answer (cancelWaitsNote) grew to 311 words for the persistent reader's note, 259 for a fork's and 114 with no note, and an agent reads it on every such cancel. It now says what the agent can use when it reads it: not cancelled yet, and why; the host runs the cancel when that ends and retries it, so cancelling again won't make it sooner; the hold stays in force, and its end delivers what it still holds; and a stop before then loses the cancel. The note's own lines then say where the note goes, and that the agent is told what is known of it, now or after a restart, except where no one is told: a run whose start isn't recorded yet, and a fork's note once its run has ended. The step-by-step account of how a failed notice is retried and kept for the next boot, "how long it lasts isn't known here", and the restart's exceptions are gone from the note. 141, 155 and 86 words now. Two sentences say less than before because the code does: - "stays in force; when it ends, what it still holds is delivered, up to its backlog cap and what fits in one message": an end can come with no release when an earlier one already delivered everything held, and a release keeps only the newest lines that fit one message. - "when a cancel ends it, or tries to": a cancel's own run delivers its note before the end is recorded, and can then fail to record it. channel_close's answer while the cancel waits says the close "asks to cancel" the all-except hold "that excepts this channel", since it hasn't cancelled it yet. Two comments said the note tells what it no longer does: the one beside channel_close's answer in framework.ts and the one above cancelWaitsNote. Each now matches what the note says; the code they describe is unchanged. The .breaking fragment's account of the note narrows with it, its restart facts kept as a sentence of their own, now naming the wake budget's end for a channel's tune-out; it also says when a later cancel's note joins a waiting one, and that a close's focus is still in force while its release waits. The two .fixed fragments that quote or describe the note follow it. Tests that assert the note's or the close's words expect the new ones, and one test helper's doc says what it does: it fails the first matching write by any manager, once. (cherry picked from commit fffcf37)
Once the operator's change or the refusal is over and writes are stored again, a cancel runs at once. So while a failed run waits for its retry, a fresh cancel can end the hold before the retry does. The wait note's "cancelling again won't make it sooner" was true only while the wait lasts, and now says so, as the note did before it was shortened. The tests that pin the note's words follow it. (cherry picked from commit 9d5386d)
…e short release all the same Oscar on #844 (nissa's house), on the short release of a3adc98e: the decision whether the boot's "still stands" row is the resident's last word read the rows the cancel had read for its backlog, so it couldn't fail alone; a read that threw there failed the whole cancel, the tune-out staying in force. The decision now reads the residents' stored rows itself (residentToldStillStands), at a channel's cancel and the all-except hold's, and a read that throws counts as "write", said once: one redundant release line is the cheaper error against a "still stands" left as the last word on a tune-out that has ended.

…not ends Oscar on #844 (nissa's house), a lower-confidence note: the review8-operator-close-wait fragment said a start with no reader "ends every hold on record"; its cancel that fails stays on record and is tried again at the next start, so it cancels them, as #976's T6 says. docs/dendrite.md's gap-10 line said such holds are "released there"; it now says cancelled, one whose release fails staying on record. The remove-readerless-tune-out fragment already says so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…s catch-up #914 (nissa-seru/nell/524-speech-tools) puts the tools that carry an agent's words in one table (send-tools.ts SPEECH_TOOLS / speechOf / SILENCING_SENDS), read by prose silencing, history search and extract, and the semantic index; extract's text form shows a send as its name and words, a send whose result failed is marked ", error" on its own label (HistoryModule.failedSpeech), and a search snippet that falls in a send's words keeps the send's label (HistoryModule.hitSnippet). One file conflicted, src/modules/history/index.ts, in eight blocks; each keeps both behaviours, #914's failed-send mark and the presentation branch's window mark (#291): 1. handleExtract, author-filtered page: projectMessage(msg, format, (m) => this.failedSpeech(m), view?.mark(msg)). 2. handleExtract, plain page: the same call. 3. handleExtractAround: projectMessage(m, format, (n) => this.failedSpeech(n), view?.mark(m)). 4. handleSearch, substring match: ...windowField(view?.mark(msg)) beside main's snippet: this.hitSnippet(msg, text, hit.index, hit.length). 5. searchWithRegexWorker, regex match: ...windowField(view?.mark(msg)) beside snippet: this.hitSnippet(msg, text, matchIndex, matchLength). 6. handleSemanticSearch: main's currentText map of { text, shown }, then ours' marks map and 'leftOut' among keep's answers. 7. Module-level declarations: ours' WINDOW_NOTE, EXTRACT_OFFSET_NOTE, WINDOW_NOTE_SEMANTIC, WINDOW_NOTE_OVERVIEW, WindowMark, CallerView and windowField kept; projectMessage's signature takes #914's required failedOf third and ours' optional mark?: WindowMark fourth. 8. projectMessage's body: ...windowField(mark) beside main's content line, flattenContent(msg.content, failedOf(msg)). Everything else merged cleanly: framework.ts takes SILENCING_SENDS in place of SEND_TOOLS and WORLD_PUBLICATION_TOOLS (no other reference to either on this branch), semantic.ts's doc-comment edits from both sides sit apart, and #914's changelog fragments (524-speech-tools.changed/.fixed) stand beside ours without overlap.

agent-framework's part of #291. Every write is stored at once, unless a surgery's hold or a context manager refusing its work keeps it in memory until that is over; each agent has a window (its context-manager index) that only grows at the end, so several live turns over one shared slot are correct by construction, readers see the record as it arrives, and the deferral queue is gone.
src/presentation.ts: the audience rule as one pure function (bearingOf: own | arrival | elsewhere, from the storedmetadata.audiencestamp and the registry's relationships —ownSlot,observesedges), the presentation points (presentAtStart/presentAtBoundary/presentAtEnd/presentOwn,afterStoreto readers at rest), the feat(agent): thinkingBinding.binds tells the context manager what each request carried #785 hand-off beforenoteRoundSent,handOff,holders/presentedToAnyone, the boot repair of own rows.[continue], stored injections); undo and redo on the window, never a branch move; a memory-only surgery hold replayed at release; quiesce freezes presentation.ModuleMessage.heldkeeps its name with the new meaning; removals leave every window; history tools marknot-shown/undonefor their caller; a rollback counted at its cut.^0.25.0and chronicle^0.6.0(the presentation releases, cut withnpm version minorfrom 0.24.2 and 0.5.1; the published ones havederiveand the selective forks but neither the window APIs nor the batched append), membrane^0.8.0.Design note, step-3 addendum, decisions and the reviews: #291. Ships only together with the connectome-host companion (HOST-1) and after the presentation releases of chronicle (0.6.0, the batched append) and context-manager (0.25.0, the window index) are published; the Dendrite releases (0.5.0, 0.24.0) carry neither, and

Companion PRs, merge order (CONTRIBUTING: cross-repo companions declared with the order). The presentation set ships as four PRs, each released at the next minor the registry gives it, each floor commit landing once its dependency is on npm: chronicle anima-research/chronicle#62 (→ 0.6.0, the batched append) → context-manager anima-research/context-manager#350 (→ 0.25.0, declares chronicle
^0.6.0) → agent-framework #844 (→ 0.33.0, declares context-manager^0.25.0and chronicle^0.6.0) → connectome-host anima-research/connectome-host#485 (→ 0.23.0, the next minor after main's 0.22.0 of 2026-11-05; declares agent-framework^0.33.0). Until each dependency is published its PR cannot install from the registry, so CI on these PRs is red by construction, as the Dendrite set's was; the suites run on the linked presentation trees. Here root lockfiles are gitignored and CI runsnpm installfrom the declared ranges, which fails until context-manager 0.25.0 and chronicle 0.6.0 are on npm. In the companions that track lockfiles, the lockfiles resolve the Dendrite releases andnpm cirefuses them; those lockfiles are regenerated at each floor commit.
