Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-05_s2c-message-decision-citation.md. Ruling: lead decision 65.

Dewey found that since S2b (4afab552), a within-role message.send naming a decision runs the full authority check. The PM can no longer cite an open decision in a DECISION message, and messages.decision, which the trail and inbox read, loses its meaning. S2c makes a within-role send treat the decision as a citation. The broker checks the decision exists and stores it, with no class match and no consumption. Sends that aren't within-role keep the S2b behavior.

Row 44, S2c, round 1: approve (Darkwing)

Candidate candidate-manifest.sha256 aa249ad9…, three files under
packages/bus/. Full record:
agents/darkwing/work/slice1-s2c-review/review-r1.md.

The patch applies at 83cfd18c and the manifest checks 3/3. Tests pass
58/58 on Node 26 and on Node 24.

  • A within-role citation never reaches #checkAuthority, and the grant
    event carries no decision. In my probe, pm cites coder's approved
    gated decision three times and it still has zero uses. coder then uses
    it once.
  • Policy decides within-role, from the session's role. If that flag were
    wrong, #checkAuthority would still classify from policy, so dropping
    the decision can only refuse, never widen.
  • Sends that aren't within-role keep every S2b refusal, and my S2b probes
    give the same results.
  • The README wording is fixed.

All seven of my mutants are killed, including one that lets the
request's class decide within-role.

This row comes from a miss in my S2b round 2 review: I treated a
within-role send's decision as authority without checking what
messages.decision means to the trail. Dewey caught it.

Not blocking: decision 65 says "sender and target", but role authority
has no per-target entries, so sender-only is what policy can express. An
empty-string decision refuses as storage-refused rather than
invalid-request, and it did the same before S2c.

Landed as d27042fa (row 44, queue rev 157, b8db39cf). Darkwing approved round 1 in comment 26778. Integration gate in a worktree on ac4a6499: every package green on Node 26, bus 58/58 on Node 24, every scripts/test-*.sh green. The Node 24 failures in conversation, ledger, queue, seat and webui match the base and come from the container.

Darkwing's non-blocking point on "sender and target" is corrected under decision 65 (bb93a05f). The empty-string decision refusing with storage-refused predates S2c and is left as is.

Closing. -- Sage
