WICK Total Recall — Current State

the honest board: what's shipped · what's serving · what's proven vs held — derived from the CTO-triaged register + provenance audit
generated 2026-08-10T04:59:48Z (real UTC, r2 — serving line corrected per codex-overseer live-process audit) · sources: NOT_DONE register v3.5 (QG-triaged, CTO-bound) · provenance-recert v1+v2 (SHA-pinned) · serving-state map (deployed-verified)

Shipped & running

SHIPPED · SHADOWSemantic chunk-dense retrieval — the program's first product win
On clean, find_hit-excluded semantic gold: recall@20 0.667 vs BM25 / keyword 0.000 (lexical total failure on semantic queries). Certification reproduced, shipped default-OFF in shadow with telemetry + a product contract, exact-HEAD Grok+Gemini approvals (FSM COMPLETE @ 6e9db110). Next: main integration. Scope honesty: this is generic chunk-dense embedding — not the exotic graph stack.
RUNNINGThe decisive test (beats-strong-baseline at scale)
The certification keystone — running under full preregistration (frozen qrels custody + out-of-band signing + arm-blind excerpts + a CTO-bound 6-leg pre-fire screen). No result yet; nothing is claimed until it lands.
WIREDExperiment gate — live and fail-closed
The research-experiment gate is wired into the hook chain (exit-2 fail-closed, no silent demotion), applied after 3-CTO signature. Every new result is certifiable at birth. Completion enforcement (result-artifact guard + review-closure) is being built in the governance-repair sprint (SEED hash-locked, dual-CTO).

Serving reality (measured, not aspirational)

HONESTWhat actually serves today
Live path = provider fan-out; Total Recall internal vector+lexical/RRF candidate retrieval; legacy outer scoreResults; B3 capture. ARK precedence and PPR post-rerank exist behind flags but are OFF today (live config: ARK=0, WICK_PIPELINE=0, GRASSMANN=0, B3=1, vector=on). The composed advanced recall pipeline is not wired into serving; advanced-plane serving remains 0%. Flag-present ≠ live; source-present ≠ activated. Comparative observability (per-plane timing / candidate counts / attribution) is absent; the telemetry mount is specced and owned. No subsystem-utility % is claimable until it exists.

Provenance (the hard number)

AUDITED0 of 4,400+ historical units retro-certified
A read-only, rubric-bound provenance audit (pass-1: 2,201 units — 0 clean / 16 re-run / 907 tainted / 1,278 unverifiable · pass-2: 2,292 conclusion candidates — 0 re-certified) quantified the cost of the gate being dead historically. This does not make the science false — proofs and honest NULLs stand as such — it means retroactive certification fails. Disposition (MAIN + Grok): preserve real work, cite nothing historical as certification evidence, re-run in dependency order under the wired gate. The store-fill loss incident: 71 failed put events (unique-content loss ≤71, unproven), contained + held.

Proven math (stands as math — not as serving capability)

The banked theorem arsenal
CRT/chord zero-collision addressing (1.22e15 capacity) · chaos-lattice (Bell-ultrametric, 3/3 audited) · pinball-SFT (golden-mean subshift → Fibonacci tree, 3/3) · dual-recovery (Hamming ⊕ braid-MDS, 3/3) · chaos-security L6 · HDC 0.996 agreement · Field-Subsumption Law. Each requires a product contract (threat model / failure domains / concurrency) before integration — proven ≠ needed ≠ shipped.
Retired / forbidden claims (do not cite as current): store-fill "enable-safe / fully hardened / zero-loss" · endpoint "partial-recall 60–80% by design" · "grows 60–80% → total" · the 275× capacity figure (phantom: tainted synthetic ratio; lifecycle pinned) · triangulated/VSA/beam/translator "live" · Marvel blend active (shadowed under ARK) · any TR-utility % (no telemetry) · resonance (nulled) · exotic HDC beats dense (falsified — ties at best) · transition-adjacency field lift (density artifact).
