Session Handoff — 2026-06-10 — canonical truth-sync through #2016
Session Goal
Bring docs/STATE.md, docs/PHASE_PROGRESS.md, and docs/status.toml back to describing origin/main truthfully. The canonical docs were last truth-synced by #1902 (2026-05-22, through #1901); 91 commits merged since, plus a previously unrecorded 17-PR window from 2026-05-15 → 2026-05-17 that #1902 missed because it verified an external review brief (#1875 → #1901) rather than sweeping the full git window.
Decisive Test
Same as the 2026-05-22 handoff: if a reader trusted STATE.md + PHASE_PROGRESS.md to plan the next PR, would they plan the right PR or the wrong PR?
Before this session: the wrong PR, demonstrably. A candidate evaluation run against the 2026-05-22 docs produced "migrate the charter handler family off broad governance:write (#1868 step 2)" and "first fixture rehearsal (#1838/#1839/#1840)" as live candidates — both already merged on main (#1918 et al.; #1845/#1846/#1848).
After this PR: STATE.md, PHASE_PROGRESS.md describe origin/main through 9012ba5c (#2016); status.toml re-verified as still accurate without changes.
Final State (Verified)

9012ba5c deps(security): bump shell-quote 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 in examples/mobile-app (#2016)
Branch this PR opens on
docs/truth-sync-2026-06-10 — created off origin/main at 9012ba5c via the icn-dev worktree model (docs/dev/AGENT_WORKTREE_POLICY.md).
Verified high-claim items on origin/main at 9012ba5c
| Claim | Verification | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| governance:write decomposition executed | grep -c require_any_scope icn/apps/governance/src/http/handlers.rs → 42; seven class-scope/broad-fallback pairs (charter 4, proposal 8, steward 1, federation 1, meeting 12, activity 8, comment 5); zero bare require_scope(..., "governance:write") mutation gates |
Present; broad fallback still accepted everywhere — NOT retired |
| MandateGate | icn/apps/governance/src/mandate_gate.rs exists; wired in configure.rs, manager.rs, icn-gateway/src/server.rs; PRs resolved via gh api commits/<sha>/pulls: #1927 (context guard), #1928 (MandateGrantRef), #1929 (decision-receipt attestation) |
Present as code; authority migration NOT complete |
| EffectDispatchEvidence durability | #1990 commit f4c69ed7 — dispatcher ExecutionRecord as durable write-ahead recovery handle; closes #1987 (CLOSED, verified via gh) |
Present |
| Live 13/13 receipt chain | #1985 commit b3248133 — icnctl audit verify --token 13/13 on live local daemon; dev-gated ICN_DEV_SELF_TRUST seed; one-command rehearsal at demo/scripts/local_receipt_chain_13of13_rehearsal.sh (#1997) |
Present; local/dev-gated proof, not a partner deployment |
| Slice A fixture rehearsals | #1838/#1839/#1840 all CLOSED (verified via gh); closed by #1845/#1848/#1846 (2026-05-15 → 2026-05-16) |
Complete — was misrecorded as open candidate in the 2026-05-22 sync block |
| TrustThreshold fail-open | #1911, #1916 (closes #1913 — CLOSED, verified) | Closed |
| Workspace member count | tomllib parse of icn/Cargo.toml: 44 members = 37 crates + 3 bins + 4 apps; icn-baseline-lock-guest excluded |
status.toml "44" still correct; whitepaper "38 crates" stale → fixed to 37 in this PR |
| Appliance negative firstboot smoke | git log --since=2026-05-22 -- deploy/appliance/ → empty; no tracking issue found |
STILL UNVERIFIED — gap unchanged since #1900 |

Checks NOT run
- No cargo commands (docs-only change; no Rust file touched).
- Whitepaper LOC (~414K) and test-count (2,287) figures not re-verified — named as candidate (f) in the STATE.md sync block.
- The full STATE.md / PHASE_PROGRESS.md historical blocks below the new sync edits were not re-audited; this sync corrects forward, it does not re-litigate prior blocks beyond the named corrections.
Deferred items (named, not started)
Carried in the STATE.md sync block's candidate enumeration: (a) appliance negative firstboot smoke; (b) Dependabot queue triage (hold #1944 rand major + #1942 ml-dsa); (c) #1868 broad-fallback retirement criteria; (d) #1703 human gate; (e) issue hygiene #1704/#1727/#1728; (f) strategy-doc deep refresh.
Non-claims
This session does NOT claim Phase 2 completion, formal NYCN pilot, production readiness, live federation, implemented Civic Shell / member shell / steward cockpit, retirement of broad governance:write, a verified appliance fail-closed firstboot path, signed appliance images, or resolved licensing. No private partner / member / organizer data was read or handled.
