Plan §6 says each P5 item is spec-first with its own session. These are the
specs; no implementation is authorised by them and none was written.
plans/mode-layer-reunification.md 5a — ALIGNMENT defect 1, the largest
architectural gap. Storage-policies the
ModeBase orchestration the way P2 did
MLPCore, rather than binding monolithic
mode objects into WASM (which would
contradict the locked two-instance RT
architecture).
plans/browser-mode-coverage-spec.md 5b — an audio-topology notion so Manifold
stops cataloguing 4 modes that
structurally cannot run in a browser.
plans/curated-presets-spec.md 5c — ALIGNMENT defect 2, built on the
operator's §7.6 definition: a curated
preset is configuration only, network
untrained.
plans/hardware-editor-spec.md 5d — ALIGNMENT defect 3, applying
useq-celium's existing discipline (C
header as wire truth + TS mirror + parity
test) to a MEMLNaut serial protocol.
2434 lines. I spot-checked their path citations mechanically against
git ls-files: of 170 backticked paths, every unresolved one is either a file
the spec proposes to create or a cross-reference to a sibling spec in this same
commit. None describes deleted code as live — which is the failure mode that
made half the existing corpus untrustworthy, and the reason the §8 pass earlier
today had so much to do.
The preset spec is the most valuable byproduct: en route it found five places
where existing docs still describe a deleted world, including
manifold-parity-features-spec.md §1.1 specifying a PipelineLayer over
engine/input-pipeline.ts and output-pipeline.ts, both deleted at one-core P4.
Also carries the doc sync for the telemetry and benchmark work in a77770f:
AGENT-REFERENCE gains the throughput and loss-history entries, and dock-spec
§1.3 records that its long-deferred diagnostics suite shipped PARTLY — the loss
curve and weight-health table are real, GradientFlow is not built and is not
planned as drawn (the core records no per-layer gradient magnitudes, and the
fabricated version was deleted in Phase 1).
Roughly 20k lines were deleted from this repo in the last week and much of the
corpus still described the pre-deletion world in the present tense. Executes
the §8 table: archive the retired, reclassify the executed, prune the stale.
aimmersive-clone-spec -> _archive/ with a deprecated-by note

MAIN.md six contradicted claims fixed; registry resynced
vcv-module.md pruned to the current 8->16 contract and made the
single .nisps format spec
vcv/NISPS-FORMAT.md DELETED — documented a v1 format that no longer loads
vcv/README.md, BUILDING.md rewritten to the real contract, menu, OSC table
inputs/backends/dock trio grounding sections marked historical, dead cites fixed
Two rows of the §8 table were themselves wrong, corrected here: the deleted
full-state sync lives in backends-spec.md §6.3, not vcv-module.md (which has no
§6.3), and codegen/README.md was already a MAP pointer with no port-solidjs
trigger left to remove.
Beyond the table — found by sweeping every backticked path in the changed docs
against `git ls-files`, which is how these should have been caught before:
manifold/ONBOARDING.md documented a UI that Phase 1 deleted, as if current:
SplitStage, ReadoutStrip, InputMini, BackendAdvanced, AltitudeNav, and a
shot.spec.ts that does not exist. The whole stage table was keyed on a `focus`
axis that no longer exists — selection is now sandwich > particles >
composite. This matters more than the rest: CLAUDE.md tells every agent to
read ONBOARDING.md first for Manifold work, so it was actively teaching a
fiction. Rewritten against ConsoleApp.tsx.
MAP.md claimed the input layer reduces axes to the engine arity with an
"even/odd blend". input-layer.ts says the opposite in its own header: one
dedicated slot per axis, 1:1, into a 32-input over-provisioned head, and
mean-blending was removed deliberately because it diluted every source.
AGENT-REFERENCE.md still promised TS emission "returns at P5" (landed),
per-mode dims "become schema-real at P5" (landed at P5.3), and pointed at
nisps::FixedBuffer (deleted).
Doc-right/code-suspect, filed rather than fixed: VCV computes derivedMean/Std/
Delta and cachedNovelty behind a live context-menu toggle that nothing reads;
vcv/plugin.json points at the MusicallyEmbodiedML org rather than this repo's
origin; and the module defaults to UDP 7001+id%64 while bridge.ts defaults to
9000, so out of the box they do not meet.
Firmware-build docs are deliberately untouched — the PlatformIO migration
lands next and rewrites all of them.
