# Honest-Claim Manifest — Cycle #346

## Reproducibility claims

- Claim: "Empty cycles produce no file" is removed from epsilon/SKILL.md §1
  Verification: `grep -c 'Empty cycles produce no file' src/packages/cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/epsilon/SKILL.md` → 0

- Claim: epsilon §1 now contains "every cycle"
  Verification: `grep -c 'every cycle' src/packages/cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/epsilon/SKILL.md` → ≥1 in §1

## Source-of-truth alignment claims

- Claim: Updated epsilon §1 matches activation/SKILL.md §22 intent
  Verification: `grep -A5 '## §22' src/packages/cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/activation/SKILL.md` shows "every cycle writes cdd-iteration.md" — consistent with epsilon §1

- Claim: gamma/SKILL.md §2.10 row 14 parenthetical is now consistent with epsilon §1
  Verification: `grep 'Empty-findings cycles' src/packages/cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md` → ≥1 hit; no "produce no file" text

## Wiring claims

- Claim: The closure gate (gamma §2.10 row 14) still correctly requires cdd-iteration.md only for cycles with findings ≥1 for the INDEX row
  Verification: row 14 text contains "The closure gate checks INDEX.md only when findings ≥1" — consistent with activation §22 ("Empty-findings cycles [...] INDEX row is optional")
