ACI-052: Prose Has No Test Suite

Thesis

Agent-written prose has no suite to go red, so gate it with a mechanical pass, a hostile read filed as numbered charges and answered in a ledger, and a strip of the process residue left in it. At the publish boundary, gates read what authors declared and report what they examined, and the pipeline is audited against disk both ways. Outside the codebase there is no undo either: enumerate the population first and give every instrument a control.

Story

Lamplight's gates were shaped like its languages. On one day in July 2026 its largest work was JS, Node, Python and shell, and a green seal over its four gates, mix, rust, credo and lua, said nothing about any of it (Lamplight@5beb99675, 2026-07-28). The commit is about code. Prose is no language at all, and none of those gates can read it.
