# Loose Ends — priming **Canonical spec:** `docs/domains/looseends.md` — read it for the state machine, all invariants, key files, and gotchas. Terms of record: `UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md` § Loose End lifecycle (and the *Memory vs Loose End* / *Resolve vs Forget* / *Park vs Store* ambiguities). Threat: `STRIDE.md` T-10. Open *work*, not knowledge. Own collection, so no maintenance stage can reach it — no decay, no consolidation, no dedup, no TTL. It surfaces until an agent resolves it. ## Core invariants (get these right) - **Park is secret-scanned, never signal-gated** — terse speculation is the feature. - **`IPromotionPort` is the only edge back into the gated memory write funnel.** Park never reaches `StoreAsync`; promote only reaches it through the adapter. - **Claim before you promote** (`Open → Resolving`, atomic in the store) or a retry double-mints. - **A failed promote releases to a *clean* `Open`** — clear every staged resolution field, and release on `CancellationToken.None` so a cancelled resolve never wedges an end in `Resolving`. - **Resolve is idempotent**; a lost claim distinguishes finished (success) / mid-flight (reject) / released (bounded retry). - **Clamp priority to 1–3 at the park choke point** — it's the wake-up sort key, so unclamped values let any caller pin a note into every session's context (T-10). - **A near-duplicate promote succeeds onto the existing memory**; an external-ref promote mints nothing and skips the gate. - **Ordering liv
