docs(remediation): RM-61 MERGED; bank D-43 — I inverted a board fact while compressing to fit the budget

#1033 merged f4fd5967, verified by property: merged=true + merge commit, #1034 (delivery) CLOSED,
#1000 (retirement trigger) still OPEN. The exemption is on main and RM-02 is unblocked.

D-43 is mine. Compressing RM-02's board row to meet the 8KB budget, I turned "2 reviews clear" into
"2 live REQUEST_CHANGES" — an inversion. Provider truth: reviews 63 and 65 are at superseded heads and
live REQUEST_CHANGES at f9746b23 is empty. The real state is subtler than either wording: no live
blocker AND no live approval, because the head carries no review at all.

Caught only by re-deriving RM-02's state from the provider before dispatching, not by re-reading the
board. I was one message from briefing f10-coder to remediate two blocking reviews that do not exist.

The transferable part: this board carries a hard <8KB budget, it exceeded that budget four times in one
session, and each time I shaved prose to fit. Compression IS restatement, and this board's own rule is
"REFERENCE, do not restate" (D-26) because restatement is lossy every time. The budget therefore forces
the exact operation the board forbids, on its most load-bearing table. I flagged that as a risk earlier
in the session; it then materialised as an actual error.

Rule banked: meet a size budget by ROLLING content out to BOARD-LEDGER.md, never by rewording what
stays. Deleting a row and pointing at its authoritative home is safe; paraphrasing to save bytes is not.
Applied immediately — this commit rolls the Decisions-log narrative out verbatim rather than trimming
it, and the board is back under budget at 8096.

And the deeper one, onto RM-34: the orchestrator is the board's sole writer, so nothing external checks
the board against reality. Code has rev-974, gates have the merge-gate, CI has the JSON scan — the
control plane has no independent verifier. Handoff validation must include re-deriving the board's
claims from the provider, not merely confirming a successor can read the file.

**Updated:** 2026-08-01 — seam crossed; successor seat resumed, attested from the files, and is driving.
⚠ That was a **MANUAL pane respawn** (prior seat ~803k tokens): it validates the checkpoint+rehydration
