The slot rule counted work in flight but had no shape for its most common
wait: the round passed, state:needs-human set, the human's merge pending.
Shape 4 names it, the handoff round summary is its declaration, and shape
2 now covers the round awaiting its first verdicts so the live and passed
rounds are sequential and non-overlapping (#109).

The one-issue-at-a-time bullet counted claims when it meant build work
in flight; the 2026-07-23 board (#15, #16 parked beside #73) proved the
count wrong. BUILDER.md now defines the three parked shapes, the
declared-never-inferred park comment, and unparking; TRIAGE.md names a
directed hold as a park (#77).

Workflows are consumed by reference because GitHub materializes them at
run time; docs have no runtime — agents read the working tree — so the
agent-facing set (TRIAGE, BUILDER, REVIEWER, LABELS) vendors into each
governed repo at .ceremony/, byte-identical to the pinned ref and guarded
by docs-sync --check in CI (#19). Role files made self-contained for
vendored reading.

Discussions are where intent lives; issues are minted only by triage;
builders turn one issue into one PR; reviewers converge on verdicts;
humans decide in the discussion and at the merge. LABELS.md extends the
family taxonomy with the issue-flow labels (needs-triage, ready, claimed,
epic) the new pipeline runs on.
