# Self-Coherence — Cycle #335

## Gap Statement

Cycles #331 and #333 merged to `cnos:main` without producing any close-out artifacts. This violates the protocol both cycles introduced. Cycle #335 retroactively reconstructs all missing close-out artifacts and initializes the supporting infrastructure (`.cdd/iterations/INDEX.md`, cross-repo LINEAGE.md, PRA).

## Mode

`docs-only` — no code change, no version bump. Retroactive reconstruction. Disconnect via §2.5b (the path cycle #331 itself introduced).

## Acceptance Criteria

| # | AC | Status |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | `.cdd/releases/docs/2026-05-09/331/` contains 6 retroactive artifacts | COMPLETE |
| AC2 | `.cdd/releases/docs/2026-05-09/333/` contains 6 retroactive artifacts | COMPLETE |
| AC3 | Grades per §3.8 rubric — both cycles C_Σ ≤ C+ | COMPLETE — see PRA |
| AC4 | Each cycle's `cdd-iteration.md` per Step 5.6b shape | COMPLETE — 6 findings (#331), 3 findings (#333) |
| AC5 | `.cdd/iterations/INDEX.md` initialized with ≥3 rows | COMPLETE |
| AC6 | `.cdd/iterations/cross-repo/tsc/cdd-supercycle/LINEAGE.md` referencing commit `772ddc0` | COMPLETE |
| AC7 | PRA at `docs/gamma/cdd/docs/2026-05-09/POST-RELEASE-ASSESSMENT.md` | COMPLETE |
| AC8 | CHANGELOG.md gains rows for #331 and #333 | COMPLETE |
| AC9 | This cycle's own close-out follows the full protocol (recursive coherence) | COMPLETE — this file |

## Review Readiness

This cycle is dispatched as α-only (docs-only reconstruction per §2.5b). No β review session is scheduled; the cycle closes on α's completion and the merge commit.

All 9 ACs are satisfied. Retroactive headers present on all reconstructed artifacts. Honest grading applied (both #331 and #333 grade C+). No fabrication — where evidence was missing, artifacts say so explicitly.
