Iteration 14 — SOTA Sweep Blocked (Search Unavailable)

Iteration 14 — SOTA Sweep Blocked · Reconciliation Consolidated SWEEP PARKED SCOREBOARD CONSOLIDATED

What happened, in plain words: the planned literature sweep (hunting an invariance instrument that can actually identify — the gap iteration 12 exposed) could not run: the search service returned errors on every attempt, and the rulebook is strict that no citation enters the frontier unverified. So the sweep is parked and re-queued — nothing fake was admitted. The firing's fallback work: after 13 iterations in a single day, the campaign's own scoreboard had fallen behind its results. It now reads correctly: two admissions, three kills, one repair, 73 draft statuses awaiting the operator, 6 of 8 goal cells live (the campaign started the day with 2), and the one remaining gap (STABLE, both markets) precisely characterized as an instrument problem with a queued search plan.

Sweep blockage (on the record)

Two differently-phrased searches returned service errors (LEDGER row 20). The committed sweep method (2026-06-23) web-verifies every citation; provenance discipline therefore parks the sweep rather than admitting unverified candidates. Re-queued for the next firing.

▶ Next iteration

Standing for the operator: the two proposals (4 crypto + 69 forex draft statuses) and the Frontier #4 precondition review. Next firing: SOTA sweep retry; alternatives: k_v extension beyond Tier-A pairs. Expiry re-grounding triggers automatically when the next regime slice completes.
