  "_note": "Harness-24 (S121, 2026-07-15, wave adap-6-broadcast W2) session counter for lead-self-audit cadence. THIS FILE HOLDS STATE ONLY - every cadence NUMBER lives in .claude/agent-memory/memory-budget.json -> h24_cadence (single-source, H24 section 2(3)). Never copy the digits here.",
  "_why_content_based_not_blind_increment": "Owner-decisions-15-07-2026 Q2, trap found by lane E: the Stop-hook .claude/hooks/wal-flush.ps1 auto-commits on EVERY turn-boundary. A blind counter++ would therefore tick many times per real session and the cadence would be meaningless. So a tick is CONTENT-ADDRESSED: it is keyed on the repo HEAD sha at tick time. Ticking twice on the same HEAD is a NO-OP, which is what makes running /session-start twice in a row safe (acceptance: 2x /session-start on the same HEAD => +1, not +2).",
  "_why_this_path": "Deliberately .claude/governance/ and NOT .claude/agent-memory/. The hook covers exactly 3 paths (.claude/WAL.md, agent-memory/, workflows/runs/); .claude/governance/ is OUTSIDE all three, so this file is never swept into a 'wal:' commit as a side effect. Compare .claude/agent-memory/.mfe-state.json, which IS inside the hook's reach - a counter must not live there.",
  "_contract": {
    "tick": "tick(session, head): if head == last_ticked_head OR session == last_ticked_session -> NO-OP (idempotent per HEAD AND per session-label). The Stop-hook wal-flush.ps1 moves HEAD mid-session (auto-commit every turn-boundary), so the head-clause alone would let a single real session tick more than once; the session-label clause pins ONE session-label to exactly +1, not +2. This closes the +2/cycle trap: a /pause commit changes HEAD, but the same session-label still NO-OPs. Else counter = counter + 1, last_ticked_session = session, last_ticked_head = head, last_ticked_at = date.",
    "fail_loud_on_regress": "If an incoming counter is LOWER than the stored counter, or last_ticked_head names a commit not reachable from HEAD, DO NOT silently reset: report to owner. A counter that moves backwards means the state file was rolled back or hand-edited, and a silent reset would hide the cadence gap.",
    "overdue": "OVERDUE(light) when (counter - last_audit.light_at_counter) >= h24_cadence.light_every. Same shape for deep_every. Skipping sessions does NOT lose the debt - the gap is measured from the counter, not from wall-clock, so a missed session surfaces as OVERDUE rather than vanishing.",

  "_seed_honesty": "Seeded UNTICKED on purpose. counter=0 and last_ticked_* = null mean 'no tick has ever happened', which is the truth at S121 - the ritual that performs the tick lands in W3.
