In plain words: instead of hunting new literature, this firing went shopping in the project's own attic. A May campaign had already catalogued ~95 measurement instruments โ before today's rulebook existed. Twelve of its best entries were pulled out, and each one re-earned its place under the current rules: the original paper re-resolved against a journal or archive today, the open-source code re-checked today (license, version, last activity), and every entry passed the four-way duplicate gate. Four strengthen the STABLE front (new causal-discovery machinery built for autocorrelated data), six open the FAIL boundary (independence tests that catch dependence our Spearman gate is blind to), one opens FRAGILEโCONDITIONAL, one deepens EXPIRY. Just as important: eight attic items were rejected at the door โ already owned, already killed, or already operational โ and each rejection is on the record. Bonus: the hosted web-search channel, blocked for four days, answered one query this firing โ it surfaced eight new leads, now parked in the taxonomy for future verification.
The import gate (every row re-verified TODAY, never trusted from May)
causal discovery built FOR autocorrelated series with hidden confounders โ deepens the H-004 line
H-028
Convergent Cross Mapping (pyEDM, active 2026)
STABLE
the only state-space coupling instrument in the pipeline; 2024 "causalized" fix removes future-leakage
H-031
Hoeffding's D + fast rank computation (CRAN)
FAIL (first entries!)
catches non-monotone dependence the Spearman gate misses โ with an O(n log n) exact algorithm
H-034
dHSIC joint independence (CRAN, active 2026-05)
FAIL
joint (beyond-pairwise) independence โ pairwise gates are blind to synergy structures
H-036
Reduced Transfer Entropy (PRE 2025)
FAIL
closed-form null for finite data โ no surrogates; built exactly for our ~2K-bars-per-regime constraint
H-038
Energy distance (CRAN/PyPI)
FRAGILEโCOND (first entry!)
regime homogeneity WITHOUT training a classifier โ sidesteps the exact failure that boneyarded Failing-Loudly
Channel status change
Hosted WebSearch answered a query this firing (regime-stability phrasing) after four days of filter rejections โ the block is query-dependent, not absolute. Recorded in ledger row 9 (partially supersedes rows 3/7). The provenance ladder stays primary โ WebSearch results are leads until arXiv/Crossref-verified. Eight surfaced leads (local Gaussian correlation regime test, KLD sliding-window instability, MS-vine copulas, positive-definite dependence measures, FNETS, RKHS-OT dependence, irreversibility analysis, robust dCor) are parked in FAMILY-TAXONOMY for future firings.

โถ Next iteration
Iteration 6 = continue the predecessor import (checkpoint open) โ roughly 18 more importable entries remain in the May catalog (conditional-dependence A2, synergy/PID A3, matrix-decomposition A4, FDR-selection C1, plus the robust-dCor line), several serving the still-empty COND-scoping gap and the starved FAIL/EXPIRY boundaries. STABLE stays most-starved overall (77), so family-2 (anytime-valid monitors, STABLE+EXPIRY) is the alternative if the operator prefers fresh harvesting over imports.
Merge point (operator, still open): B-01 is published; PRs #581 and #582 remain OPEN โ merging lets the admission loop consume the batch from main.
Steering point: no directive = import continuation next firing. Directives are ledger-recorded verbatim before taking effect.
