+# Scaffolding V1 — Tranche 1
+
+_2026-09-12. Scaffolding is the controlled need-to-capability system: NEED →
+DISCOVERY → GAP → REUSE/ACQUIRE/BUILD → IMPACT+PLAN → SAFE IMPLEMENTATION →
+VERIFICATION → PROVISIONAL USE → TRUST/REVISE/RETIRE → REUSABLE CAPABILITY.
+Tranche 1 is deliberately narrower: make Rune stop rediscovering how Rune is
+built every time Rune changes._
+
+## Tranche 1 contract
+
+`scripts/scaffold_projection.py` — a PROJECTION over existing authorities,
+never a new one:
+
+| question | authority projected |
+|---|---|
+| what subsystem owns X? | `config/umbrellas.json` (umbrella manifest + henxel-enforced completeness) |
+| what does X depend on? | AST import graph over `src/rune/*.py` (incl. relative/lazy imports) |
+| who consumes X? | reverse import edges |
+| what changes if X changes? | mirrors + `depends_on` umbrellas + consumers |
+| what proof obligations arise? | unit-test file, canary registry, umbrella gates, suite/lint/henxels |
+| which are satisfied? | filesystem + registry evidence (static); suite/ratchet/henxels are runtime-check commands |
+
+Commands: `component <module>` · `impact <module>` · `obligations <module>` ·
+`all [outfile]`. If the projection disagrees with an authority, fix the
+authority — never the projection.
+
+## Mechanism audit (2026-09-12, deployed 0.66.22)
+
+| mechanism | verdict | basis |
+|---|---|---|
+| Umbrella manifest + impact map + propagation gate | KEEP | ownership/impact authority; henxel-enforced completeness; consumed by projection |
+| Henxels structural contract | KEEP | cross-cutting obligations (silent-handler ratchet, registries, coverage debt) |
+| Canary registry (`canary_native.MODULES` + per-track canaries) | KEEP | per-subsystem proof obligations; consumed by projection |
+| CI/deploy contract (required checks, TUI startup canary, atomic promote) | KEEP | deployment proof chain live-proven repeatedly |
+| Version surfaces + auto-version + semver | KEEP | bump fast lane + push convergence working (0.66.22 earned this session) |
+| Lint/pyright/coverage ratchets | KEEP | shrinking-baseline gates, all green |
+| Authority map + dead-subnet ledger (D6) | EVOLVE | static doc today; Scaffolding projections make it derivable; D6 retire-disposition still owed |
+| Issue reconciliation artifact + checker | KEEP | tracker truth with drift detection |
+| PL1 experience ledger | KEEP | the trust/revise/retire input for future capability crystallisation |
+| Intent continuity ledger | KEEP | PART 6 state machine, 7 invariants |
+| `MIMO_AUTOMATIC_RESUME` / W/R interactive injection | KEEP (bounded) | headless single-flight proven; interactive auto-resume NOT YET SAFE until a supported busy signal exists |
+| Duplicate authorities risk | REPLACE (avoided) | Scaffolding v1 adds NO new registry — projections only |

+## Real-change proof (this tranche)
+
+Change: context discovery hit Ollama's `/api/show` with cloud-pinned model
+names — `400 invalid model name` noise on every cloud task + 8192 misbudget
+for a 131072-window model (observed live in every PL1 Task A/B run).
+
+1. BEFORE mutation: `scaffold_projection.py impact local_tool_runtime`
+   derived — subsystem `capability`; consumers `rune_operator`; gates:
+   full suite, lint ratchet, henxels, inference+orchestration canaries;
+   unit-test obligation `tests/test_local_tool_runtime.py` (exists).
+2. Change made: `is_cloud_pinned` — THE provider-prefix rule, single
+   authority in `openai_compat_transport.py`; consumed by context discovery
+   (new) and transport selection (deduped); red-first regression tests.
+3. Obligations tracked: suite 1314 green · lint ratchet PASS · henxels exit 0
+   · the projection itself caught two gaps mid-flight (relative imports
+   hidden consumers; a broad except biting the lint ratchet) — both fixed at
+   the source the projection pointed to.
+4. Deploy: normal release chain → deployed identity verified.
+
+## Maturity (honest)
+
+- Projection engine: **UNIT-PROVEN** + proven on one real change.
+- Not yet: CI integration of `scaffold_projection.py all` (drift detection),
+  capability discovery / gap recognition / reuse-before-build / external
+  acquisition / provisional-trust lifecycle — FOUNDATIONAL ONLY (architecture
+  does not block them; the projection source-list is the extension surface).
+- Deferred with reasons recorded: none blocked by Tranche 1.
