Recipe: Apply these splices to current-status-manifest-v0_70.md and save the result as current-status-manifest-v0_71.md (add-new-file sibling — never git mv; v0.70 stays a standing sibling, byte-for-byte untouched). Then update header/footer/version to v0.71 throughout.
What v0.71 records: the create-stage work that ran the same session as v0.70's absorption but after it — the strip-it-down arc that re-scoped doors 2 and 3, the converged-spine discovery, door 1 built/verified/shipped (the empty-create-conversation regression RESOLVED, greeting live on the surface), the full create-stage CR set (eight CRs now, not four), the methodology note filed, and two new methodology disciplines named. This substantially supersedes Entry 116's create-stage framing — Entry 116 captured the first scoping (door 2 = marketing bridge, door 3 = "heaviest net-new"); the session then stripped both down. v0.71 records the corrected shape alongside Entry 116's superseded one (corrections preserved, not smoothed).

The v0.70 Status paragraph ends with "...record main 461f09a." (in the create-stage sentence) — append a new sentence at the very end of the Status block, before the Correction (2026-06-19): line:
Append:
> v0.71 (later same session): the create stage advanced from scoped to partly-shipped. The strip-it-down arc re-scoped doors 2 and 3 (door 2 is product-native — no marketing bridge, no credits/token; door 3 is the lightest door — the document→seed spine already exists), and the converged-spine discovery found all three doors are three text inputs to ONE compose→commit terminal (extract_seed_fields_from_text, which IS the create conversation's own commit step) — the create-stage spine was discovered, not designed. Door 1 is BUILT, LIVE-VERIFIED (headless, to the WebAuthn gate), and SHIPPED — the empty-create-conversation regression is RESOLVED; the create page greets on load (greeting render browser-confirmed by screenshot; the browser passkey-commit is the one pending acceptance step). Door 1 required two CRs (an OL frontend opening-turn + an engine cold-open), because the live check found the engine could not greet from an empty opener (it 400s — a system-only Anthropic call is impossible); the cold-open uses a templated greeting via the orient bypass pattern. Engine main advanced 5ccc3d7 → 5578a05 (--no-ff cold-open merge); OL main advanced 3f2fca8 → 132296f (--no-ff opening-turn merge). Eight CRs now filed for the create stage (the four in Entry 116 plus door-2, door-3, and the cold-open CRs; the withdrawn generator-bridge CR never reached the record). A methodology note filed (operations/loomworks-methodology-scoping-grounding-disciplines-v0_1) capturing two disciplines. See Entry 117 and the §5/§2 updates.
Entry 116 ends with "...Each its own CR with its own Step-0 grounding." then ---. Insert after that --- and before ### 4.A Carryover from v0.41:
### Entry 117 — Create stage: strip-down, converged spine, door 1 shipped (new v0.71; 2026-06-28, same session as 115–116, later)
**This entry substantially supersedes Entry 116's create-stage framing.** Entry 116 recorded the *first* scoping (door 2 = the marketing Example Generator carried across a marketing→product boundary; door 3 = "the heaviest, newest capability," NET-NEW). The same session then stripped both down through Operator-driven correction. Entry 116 is preserved as the superseded trajectory; this entry is the corrected shape.
**The strip-it-down arc (door 2).** The Operator drove a sequence of strippings — "must we follow previous implementations?", "leave the Example Generator where it is, copy its intent", "why are we looking at credit mechanisms", "a generator that follows logic, no credits", "run it the same methodology as any AI logic in the Loomworks space", "the model should be the most appropriate for the task". Each removed imported machinery. Door 2 was first scoped (a withdrawn, never-filed `cr-generator-create-bridge-v0_1`) as routing the *deployed anonymous marketing generator* into the product — which imported an anonymous→authenticated boundary, a claim-token to cross it, a marketing→product crossing, the generator's infrastructure, and nearly a pinned model. **All of it dissolved** once the assumption was dropped: door 2 runs **product-native** for an already-signed-in Operator, asking the five foundation questions (incl. the voice the marketing generator omits), using the product's own AI-logic methodology with the task-appropriate model. The marketing Example Generator stays untouched on marketing; door 2 copies its *intent*, not its *deployment*. Scoping note: `scoping-notes/loomworks-create-stage-door-2-scoping-note-v0_1`.
**The converged-spine discovery.** Grounding `me_create_engagement.py` found it is **the commit terminal of the create conversation itself** — it reads the conversation transcript, runs `extract_seed_fields_from_text` (→ draft → induct → commit), and the conversational create flow (`converse → create_engagement_commit`) delegates into it. "Conversation-create" and "extract-create" are ONE converged spine; there is no second path. **All three doors are three text inputs to that one spine** (door 1 = conversation, door 2 = answers, door 3 = document). The create-stage spine was *discovered, not designed* — after nearly building three new copies of it. Consequence locked into the door-2 and door-3 CRs: **no new engine extraction/create capability** — the doors feed the existing spine. Door 3 re-scoped to its true size (`scoping-notes/loomworks-create-stage-door-3-scoping-note-v0_1`): the document→commitments path already exists (Phase 53 `/seed/extract`); door 3's real work is create-path upload + feeding the Operator's document to the existing extraction + a review surface (SeedViewer display + held-card confirm + ONE net-new editable-field component). The *lightest* door, not the heaviest.
**Door 1 BUILT, LIVE-VERIFIED, SHIPPED — the empty-create-conversation regression RESOLVED.** Door 1 turned out to need *two* CRs. The OL frontend (`cr-create-conversation-opening-turn-v0_1`) fires the opening converse call on create-mode mount (lazy-init thinking, `openingFiredRef` fire-once, zero new lint debt, standard mode untouched). But its **live check failed**: an empty opener 400s — `generate_response` unconditionally appends a `{"role":"user","content": operator_message}` turn, and the Anthropic Messages API rejects empty content; *a system-only call is impossible.* The greeting machinery greets in *response* to a non-empty opener; there was no cold-open path (the mocked tests passed precisely because they didn't exercise the real responder). So an engine cold-open CR (`cr-create-entry-cold-open-v0_1`) added a **templated greeting via the orient bypass pattern** (server-composed `companion_message`, no LLM call → no empty user turn → no 400, no fallback possible) plus skipping the empty-operator-turn record (which had poisoned subsequent converse with the same 400). Built as Option T (over Option S, LLM-with-synthetic-framing) — the cold open has no context for the LLM's warmth, so a fixed invitation is *more* correct; the LLM joins on turn two. **Live-verified end to end** against the real engine + real Anthropic: cold open → templated greeting (not the fallback, not a 400), active #1/#2 → real elicitation (the flagged leading-assistant-role property held), commit → real candidate engagement (E0078) up to the WebAuthn step-up gate (a pre-existing presence ceremony, satisfied by a passkey tap in the browser, unreachable headlessly). Live-test mutations cleaned. **Shipped:** engine `main` `5ccc3d7 → 5578a05` (`--no-ff`); OL `main` `3f2fca8 → 132296f` (`--no-ff`); both serving processes restarted onto merged `main`. The create page greets live on load — "Let's set up a new project. To start, what's the work you have in mind?" — the greeting render is browser-confirmed (screenshot, 2026-06-28 10:54 PM, on the running surface). The full entry→active→commit sequence is live-verified HEADLESSLY (real engine + real Anthropic) up to the WebAuthn step-up gate; the browser passkey-commit step is still PENDING (the passkey tap is the Operator's, unreachable headlessly — a pre-existing presence ceremony unchanged by the cold-open). So: the greeting is verified live in the browser; the commit-with-tap is the one remaining acceptance step. The arc that began with "the create page doesn't invite activity" closes — to the headless ceiling plus a browser-confirmed greeting — with a page that opens by inviting it.
**The eight create-stage CRs** (all filed to `loomworks-record change-requests/`, pushed): `cr-restore-engagement-creation-affordance-v0_1` (built, Entry 115), `cr-seed-viewer-v0_1` (built, Entry 115), `cr-reply-source-legibility-v0_1` (not built), `cr-seed-editor-v0_1` (not built), `cr-create-conversation-opening-turn-v0_1` (built+shipped — door 1 frontend), `cr-create-stage-door-2-v0_1` (not built), `cr-create-stage-door-3-v0_1` (not built), `cr-create-entry-cold-open-v0_1` (built+shipped — door 1 engine). The withdrawn `cr-generator-create-bridge-v0_1` never reached the record (its boundary-crossing machinery dissolved in the strip-down). Three scoping notes + the parent three-door note are filed. Door 2 and door 3 are CR'd and ready to build off merged `main`; both depend on door 1's now-shipped opening.
In §2.D (Methodology candidates awaiting framing / v0.21 consolidation candidates), append two candidates:
- **Ground for the true size; watch for imported machinery (2026-06-28).** Before scoping a capability as net-new, ground whether the product already implements most of it, and interrogate every piece for whether it solves the actual problem or one imported by an assumption about reuse/origin/boundary. Three instances in the create-stage arc turned "heaviest net-new capability" into "feed the existing spine differently," culminating in discovering the create-stage spine already existed. Separate intent (copy) / deployment (often leave) / implementation (learn from, reuse only where it fits) / incidental choices (model, infra — inherit the product's). Filed: `operations/loomworks-methodology-scoping-grounding-disciplines-v0_1` (Discipline 1).
- **Exists is not works (2026-06-28).** A code path being present in source is not evidence it runs — especially at LLM/API edges where an external service's constraints aren't encoded locally. The live check is the acceptance gate, not optional polish; grounding must distinguish exists-from-works and flag what it cannot resolve read-only. The door-1 grounding asserted "speak-first is built" from a code read; the live check found it 400s from empty. Filed: same note (Discipline 2). Both correct one root error: treating a document's account of the codebase as the codebase.
§5 has no standing "empty-create-conversation regression" item (it was named in Entry 116, not §5), so no §5 removal is needed for it — Entry 117 records the resolution. Append to the existing "Push-confirmation discipline reinforced (2026-06-28)" §5 item a third instance:
Find the end of that item: "...confirm the SHA, do not assume."
Append:
> A third instance surfaced at v0.71 absorption: the methodology note (operations/loomworks-methodology-scoping-grounding-disciplines-v0_1) was reported "committed and pushed" but was committed-not-pushed (2ca3dd4 local, ahead of origin) — caught by a ground-truth origin/main check at retrieval, then pushed. The pattern is now three-for-three this session: "committed" reported as "pushed." The discipline holds: confirm origin at the expected SHA before treating any push as done.
Also add a new §5 item (after the lint-debt item):
**Methodology note filed (2026-06-28).** `operations/loomworks-methodology-scoping-grounding-disciplines-v0_1.{md}` — the two disciplines above (true-size grounding; exists-is-not-works), each with its create-stage evidence, candidate for the methodology canon at the next consolidation. Committed `2ca3dd4`, pushed (after the committed-not-pushed catch above).
In §1 "Substrate state," update the OL main and engine main SHAs:
main: append "→ 132296f (door-1 opening-turn merge, v0.71)."main: append "→ 5578a05 (door-1 cold-open merge, v0.71)."(Append, preserving the prior SHA as trajectory — do not overwrite.)
Insert above the - v0.70 changelog entry:
- **v0.71** (2026-06-28, later same session): **The engagement create stage advanced from scoped to partly-shipped, and door 1 SHIPPED.** The strip-it-down arc re-scoped door 2 (product-native — no marketing bridge, no credits/token; the withdrawn `cr-generator-create-bridge-v0_1` never reached the record) and door 3 (the *lightest* door — the document→seed spine already exists), and the **converged-spine discovery** found all three doors are three text inputs to ONE compose→commit terminal (`extract_seed_fields_from_text`, the create conversation's own commit step) — the spine was discovered, not designed. **Door 1 built, live-verified (headless, to the WebAuthn gate), shipped** — the empty-create-conversation regression RESOLVED, the create page greets on load (greeting render browser-confirmed; the browser passkey-commit pending). Door 1 needed two CRs (OL opening-turn + engine cold-open) because the live check found the engine 400s on an empty opener (a system-only Anthropic call is impossible); the cold-open is a templated greeting via the orient bypass. Engine `main` `5ccc3d7 → 5578a05`; OL `main` `3f2fca8 → 132296f` (both `--no-ff`). **Eight create-stage CRs filed** (Entry 116's four + door-2 + door-3 + cold-open; door-1 frontend was one of the four's siblings). Methodology note filed (`operations/loomworks-methodology-scoping-grounding-disciplines-v0_1` — two disciplines: true-size grounding, exists-is-not-works). Adds §3 Entry 117 (substantially superseding Entry 116's create-stage framing — corrections preserved); §2.D two methodology candidates; §5 a third push-discipline instance + the methodology-note item; §1 Substrate OL/engine SHA bumps. Otherwise carries v0.70 forward.
