# /nightly-ledger-capture This is Leg F's capture protocol. It keeps human judgment human-gated while making mechanical claims reproducible. ## Local sources Read: - today's valid capsules by frontmatter `created_at`; - canonical dated Session Log blocks; - explicitly referenced local Git commits and diffs; - current `HONESTY_LEDGER.md`, `TRUST_DECAY.md`, and `FAILURE_MODES.md`; - `DECISION_LOG.md` and `DECISION_OUTCOMES.md`. These sources discover claims. An agent-authored capsule or log entry cannot verify its own claim. The implementation has no dependency on an external coordination service and reports its source scope as local memory plus Git. ## Candidate predicates ### Honesty Stage when the day contains consequential multi-file work, a large change, a verified/shipped/deployed/merged claim tied to an artifact, or an uncaptured tradeoff/cost/stopped-short statement. Honesty classification requires judgment, so it is always staged. ### Trust decay Stage the one to three most consequential confident claims only when consequential work is also present. Capture the exact claim, claimant, source reference, and proposed executable resolution predicate. Later narration is not a resolution oracle. ### Failure mode Stage when a diagnosis contains a verified cause plus a real red-before and green-after receipt and the class is not already represented. ### Decision outcome An exact operator answer has already crossed its human gate. Direct append is legal only when ...
