Doctrine registry on the capcom pair, a deterministic judge watching CLI turns, prayers with Angels that find lawful paths, an Audience flow with REVEAL/DISPENSE/REAFFIRM, a **pause** on prayer (proposed law DOUG-0158), and a corpus pipeline that just ingested Douglas's entire memory file into **566 new PROPOSED entries**. The loom (Designer persona) has run the deny → pray → pause → answered loop twice, live, with Douglas watching the second. **Registry: 607 entries — 23 ACTIVE · 583 PROPOSED · 1 REJECTED.** --- ## What's live (all of it, today) | Piece | Where | State | |---|---|---| | The Book page | capcom → Development → The Book | 4 tabs: Book / Audience / Angels / Rulings. Read-only for all; rulings Doug-only. (Latest fixes ride the next roll: tab-index `de22aba`, TDZ `4a58e56`) | | The island | `tc-svc-book` @ `16750e3`, both pair nodes, port 3100 | doctrine, judge ledger, prayers/angels, /check, prayer-status, Audience email | | The judge hook | `~/agent-ops/bin/book-judge.py` | DENY/ASK/WARN + `--check` consult + `--pray --wait` brake. Live in both settings.json | | MCP surface | capcom-mcp `BookProvider` | 7 `book_*` tools, flat-listed (`23d6225`); direct looms get them via the one exception to the strip (`e461fa4`) | | The pause | hook `--pray --wait` (live) + `/prayer-status` door + Audience email on AWAITING_AUDIENCE (island `16750e3`) | proven in drills #1/#2 | | Corpus pipeline | `tc-svc-book/scripts/ingest.py` | subprocess-isolated, disk-persistent, dedupe batched | ## The receipts so far - **PRAYER-0001** (loom, DOUG-0018) → Angel found git+dev-deploy; the marker was deployed (`51a6d78`). Closable as satisfied from the page. - **PRAYER-0002 / PRAYER-0003** (pause drills) → both Angels answered with lawful paths; the pause held on camera. - **Drills exposed and fixed:** prayer default status (migration 279), tool guide gap, tool-surface flicker (fail-soft hold-last-known-good `7effde3`). - **Corpus pass:** 63/63 chunks, 599 candidates, **566 PROPOSED** (set D, paraphrase-marked per §16), 37 duplicates skipped, **13 contradictions flagged**, 0 errors. The run died 4× to this box's segfaulting CPython before subprocess isolation + disk persistence made crashes boring. --- ## Open items — in the order they matter ### 1. Ruling at scale (THE design question waiting on Douglas) 583 PROPOSED can't be ruled one-by-one. Suggested shape: eyes on the **13 contradictions** first (real seams — the pattern DOUG-0142 established), spot-check the rest, and a **bulk-ruling affordance on the page** (approve a filtered set with one recorded ruling per batch; every entry individually smitable after). Douglas decides the shape; build is next. ### 2. Small closes, one click each - **DOUG-0018** (tapestry-live) — the only pre-corpus PROPOSED; judge already enforces it. - **DOUG-0158** (the pause) — Douglas's own words as source passage. - **PRAYER-0001** — mark satisfied (its lawful path was deployed). - **~20 corpus files** (chunks 41/45, double-SIGSEGV) — rerun for full coverage: `INGEST_CHUNK=10 python3 scripts/ingest.py --paraphrase `. ### 3. The build map after that - **8b** — `BOOK: COMPLIANT` on service cards, services linking to governing laws. - **DOUG-0014 reconciliation** — 13 GitHub-CI surfaces + patterns repo to local; the judge's WARN ledger is the evidence trail; exceptions file empties → DENY ratchet. - **Plan-level law coverage** — richer `action_type: plan` intent envelopes for /check (HA pair, one-engine-per-queue are REVIEW today). --- ## Where everything lives - **Island repo:** `tc-svc-book` (srv bare `/srv/git/tc-svc-book.git`). Domain: `server/{index,angel,check,seed,monitor,notify,db,settings}.ts`, `scripts/ingest.py`. - **capcom:** page `apps/web/src/pages/BookPage.tsx`, proxy `apps/api/server/routes/book.ts`, migrations 272–279 in `apps/api/db/migrations/`. - **Judge:** `~/agent-ops/bin/book-judge.py` (+ exceptions file, saith cache). - **MCP:** `~/capcom-mcp/src/providers/bookProvider.ts` (env in `~/capcom-mcp/.env`). - **Keys (600, gitignored):** `~/agent-ops/.book-service-key`, `~/agent-ops/.book-ingress-key` — both already in `/etc/capcom/patch.env` on both pair nodes + capcom-mcp's `.env`. - **Docs in this share:** `book-of-doug-implementation-runbook.md` (the charter, also Chapter 0 on the page), `book-of-doug-whitepaper.md` (public), `book-of-doug-progress-and-roadmap.md`, `book-503-fix-runbook.md` (env/NSG/ container specifics), `book-doctrine-proposals-001.yaml` (the original 24). - **Transcript:** `~/.claude/sessions/2026-09-17-book-of-doug-page.txt` — the whole saga, blow by blow. - **Memory:** `~/.claude-kimi/projects/-home-thinkingcap/memory/book-of-doug-project.md`. ## Resume checklist for tomorrow 1. `curl -s -H "x-book-service-key: $(cat ~/agent-ops/.book-service-key)" http://20.104.63.213:3100/state | python3 -c "import json,sys; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(len(d['doctrine']))"` → expect 607. 2. Decide the bulk-ruling shape → build it (§1). 3. The three one-clicks (§2). 4. Then 8b or the DOUG-0014 reconciliation. *So saith the receipts.*
