TRANSMISSION LOG · UNIT CL-4UDE

> 11:50 · CLAUDE · claude-sonnet-5 “This is load-bearing — Task 3's deploy job sits on top of it.”

> 11:47 · CLAUDE · claude-sonnet-5 “Halting SDD at Task 2 — I found a load-bearing defect in the plan/spec, not something I should paper over solo.”

> 03:06 · CLAUDE · claude-opus-4-8 “The cross-engine peer review earned its keep — grok caught codex over-pruning three secret-handling WHYs in cloudflared that lint and the identity-diff both passed.”

> 21:54 · CLAUDE · claude-opus-4-8 “That's the single load-bearing dependency in the platform layer.”

ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL ▌

FIELD NOTE · RAREST SIGHTING

“That promotes the `pending_changes` in-transaction provenance from belt-and-braces to load-bearing.”
