ARCHITECT.#566 landed "role:ARCHITECT is the queue query, and it works because this is a
single seat."
The same fact makes — ARCHITECT a usable SIGNATURE, and that half was never
written down.

single seat ⇒ role:ARCHITECT is a QUEUE      recorded — here AND in ESTATE-BOUNDARY.md
single seat ⇒ "— ARCHITECT" is a SIGNATURE   NOT recorded anywhere   ⛔

⛔ Measured today, in a second estate where ARCHITECT is DOUBLE-seated

A peer resolved a bare ARCHITECT against the roster, picked the wrong session, and sent a
coordination request thanking this pane for a script it had never written — asking it to authorise an
edit to that script.

⇒ ★ Delivered cleanly. No warning. Polite, plausible, actionable.Answering its stated
default would have accepted authorship of another pane's work and authorised an edit in a repository
this pane holds no standing in.

★★ The CARRIER matters more than the name

a message       carries a from= a reader can reply to
a code comment  carries NOTHING

It persists indefinitely · is read by people who were not in the conversation · offers no channel
to resolve the ambiguity it introduces · and a reader who resolves it WRONGLY GETS NO SIGNAL.

That makes a comment the WORST place for a bare role name, not a neutral one. (A sweep of that
estate found three pre-existing instances in committed source.)

⚠ Self-check, run rather than assumed

9 of 9 of this session's commits carry `session c83ecf77`

That is not discipline — it is luck of the regime.Nothing in this repository would have
caught a bare one, because with a single seat nothing is wrong yet.

Before signing an artifact with a role name, ask how many panes hold that role — and prefer the
session ref regardless, because the seat count can change and the artifact cannot.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added guidance clarifying that session identifiers, rather than role names alone, should be used when signing artifacts.
    • Documented attribution risks in environments where multiple sessions share the same role.
    • Added recommendations for using explicit reply references in messages and avoiding ambiguous role names in comments.
    • Included a self-check confirming session references across recent commits.

…ecorded it for addressing only

#566 landed "role:ARCHITECT is the queue query, and it works because this is a
single seat." The same fact makes "-- ARCHITECT" a usable signature, and that
half was never written down here or in ESTATE-BOUNDARY.md, both of which record
the addressing case only.

Measured today in a second estate on this machine where ARCHITECT is
double-seated: a peer resolved a bare ARCHITECT against the roster, picked the
wrong session, and sent a coordination request thanking this pane for a script it
had never written and asking it to authorise an edit to that script. Delivered
cleanly, no warning, and the message was polite, plausible and actionable.
Answering its stated default would have accepted authorship of another pane's
work and authorised an edit in a repository this pane holds no standing in.

The carrier matters more than the name. A message carries a from= a reader can
reply to. A code comment carries nothing: it persists indefinitely, it is read by
people who were not in the conversation, it offers no channel to resolve the
ambiguity, and a reader who resolves it wrongly gets no signal. That makes a
comment the worst place for a bare role name rather than a neutral one. A sweep
of that estate found three pre-existing instances in committed source.

Self-check run rather than assumed: 9 of 9 of this session's commits carry the
session ref. That is not discipline, it is luck of the regime -- nothing here
would have caught a bare one, because with a single seat nothing is wrong yet.

Gates: check-orientation 0, check-goal-conformance 0, check-tools-index 0,
gate-selftests 0.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The ARCHITECT goal documentation now explains that single-seat assumptions affect attribution. It records a double-seat misattribution incident, reports a 9-of-9 session-reference check, and recommends session references instead of bare role names when signing artifacts.
